373: Unexpected (three) [two in one]

The messenger of Luxia County looked at the "Lu" flag that was stained with dry blood and still stood on the charred half. After dismounting, he walked a few steps. He ignored the dirty ground and fell to the ground with his knees. The dull sound made people's knees hurt.

My eyes were red and tears could no longer stop flowing out.

A big gift to the city wall.

I also feel grateful to God for mercy.

The governor of Luxia County stopped and successfully dragged the reinforcements to arrive.

He whimpered and cried with excitement, but no one around him laughed at him for this - putting himself in his shoes, they might be more excited than the messenger, and they all thought that the Luxia County District had fallen before arriving at the capital.

If it falls, haha.

As the actions of these refugees spread everywhere, who doesn’t know what will happen to be targeted by these locusts?

Nine out of ten rooms are empty, and corpses are everywhere.

The bloody means of massacre are no less than Zheng Qiao's back then, and even more so.

You know, in the eyes of some outsiders, Zheng Qiao's methods are not very cruel - because Zheng Qiao's guy just instigated the soldiers to plunder and make money in the first seven days after the city was broken.

After these seven days, no evil will be allowed.

As for the massacre after the city was destroyed

In order to save money, the common people do everything they can. There are only places where they hide, and there is nothing they dare not hide. After conquering the city, the victorious side forced the common people to spit out money and use blood to shock the common people in the city to buy their lives. They must "kill the chicken to warn the monkeys". It depends on whether they think that things outside their bodies are important or the head on their necks is more important.

Looting women and children's enjoyment can only be considered an "additional item".

It is called—

"Reward" his brothers who followed him to fight south and north.

Only the lord who brings his brothers to make a fortune and makes his name together can win the support of the army and the loyalty of the soldiers.

This is basically a conventional unspoken rule - brothers stay away from their hometowns, follow the battles in the north and the north and fight for you, and put life and death in other places to fight, so they have to try something.

Who is willing to fight for the war without giving it good?

A soldier is also a human being and needs to support his family.

Is it enough military pay?

Or is it enough status and reputation?

That little military pay is not enough for the soldiers to eat, let alone send it home to adopt parents, wife and children.

The biggest income of soldiers is the "extra money" after siegeing cities and plundering land! Furthermore - blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, and other soldiers make money like this. The so-called "not disturbing the people or robbing" is very rare.

This is true for the "regular army" with military pay and rations, let alone those refugees who lack other things except for eating. In order to force out money and food from common people, their methods of acting will only be more thorough, ruthless and decisive!

The common people who were lucky enough to pick up a person and did not want to starve to death, so they had to join them and rob other places.

It's like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

If the capital of Luxia County is lost, let alone living people in the city, they will not even keep a live chicken, duck, and earthworms, and the eggs laid by the old hens must be taken away in their arms. Survivors who can survive are basically lucky and hiding well.

信使亲眷皆在治所城中.

治所未破,家人尚存.

这不值得激动痛哭一把?

这事儿不丢人.

The messenger cried and his voice was hoarse. The guards on the city wall also saw the vast crowd. They thought it was a refugee bandit who came to attack the city again, so they hurriedly sent the message. The messenger ignored the pain in his throat and the Danfu luck extended the sound to the entire city wall.

“非是敌军!”

“是援军!”

"Heyin, Tianhai, Shangnan, and the four counties of Yiru come to help! Hunting is fortunate, so I beg Duke Lu to come out of the city to see him!"

Scream-

未多时, 打满补丁的破旧城门打开.

跑出来个守兵.

The defenders carefully observed the messenger, took the token of the Lu County Magistrate from the messenger, and immediately turned back to the city. After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the Lu County Magistrate hurriedly drove out of the city under the escort of the two teams. However, the other party's face was a little dark.

沉棠骑在摩托背上.

Holding his fists: "Duke Lu, we met again. Last year, Sibao County left, but I didn't expect that the goodbye would be this scene. How good is the city? We rushed over after receiving the news, but we encountered tens of thousands of ambush troops in the middle of the journey, and it took a while to wait."

沉棠的嘴巴闲不住.

In addition, she didn't like to talk to others for useless scenes, so she spoke first and went straight to the scene.

鲁郡守也是个高壮的中年男子.

留着浓密的络腮胡.

It's just that my eyes are slender, with the corners of my eyes facing downward, and my face is quite mean and vicious, which makes people unable to like it.

Chen Tang really didn't like it, and he had an unhappy relationship with the Lu County Magistrate during the alliance. The other party favored a tough guy full of masculinity, and Chen Tang was short and beautiful at that time, which was exactly the type he disliked the most.

此时此刻也不谈这些恩怨了.

The governor of Lu County carefully identified Chen Tang and barely met Chen Tang with him a year ago, and asked, "Why are you here now?"

语气带着三分不满和质问.

Chen Tang: "????"

少冲不满道:“你怎么说话呢?”

天海和邑汝负责人也黑了脸.

其中最尴尬的莫过于鲁下郡信使.

More than 10,000 troops rushed to rescue and rescue. Not to mention being grateful, they were grateful, but at least they didn't look like this. It seemed like someone owed him. Is this a pity that the refugees and bandits did not attack quickly enough and wanted to change their opponents?

When the subordinates heard this, they suddenly changed their expressions. They hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over and apologized repeatedly to Chen Tang.

"Don't blame Chen County Magistrate, Chen County Magistrate, my lord did not intend to offend him. It was just that he lost his young son in front of the battle today, and he was too sad for a while and talked nonsense. Lord, Chen County Magistrate ignored past grievances and sent troops to help him for righteousness. He is the great benefactor of the thousands of common people in Luxia County. How can you say this? If it spreads, you will be ridiculed by heroes in the world."

说话的这个僚属地位不低.

估计还是鲁郡守啥亲属.

The ministers were scolded in front of outsiders and the face of the ministers, the county magistrate of Lu just turned darker, and pursed a pair of thick lips with dry curly skin, as if anger was brewing in his chest and his cheeks were tense. However, in the end, he forced himself to suppress his excess emotions.

He let out a breath of turbid air.

Apologized to Chen Tang with a mercy: "The sad things in life are nothing more than white-haired people sending black-haired people. Today, my youngest son died. I am really sad and sad. My tears are broken for a while and I will not speak. Please forgive me if I ask the county magistrate Chen to forgive me. Another day, I will hold a banquet and solemnly apologize to the county magistrate Chen."

Then?

Then there was nothing, and the other person didn't ask Chen Tang to come to the city to greet the wind and entertain reinforcements from afar. This is to prepare the army to spend the night outside the city???

Chen Tang claimed to be a "good charity" and a "good old man", but whether she is kind or kind, it does not mean that she is a bun that everyone rubs and flat! She went through hardships to help - although she did this to block the refugees and bandits from He Yin, and she could let go of her hands and feet when she started a war in other people's territory, and she would not feel sorry for her if she broke it. But no matter what, she was kind enough.

The surname of Lu, I am your big husband!

Chen Tang cursed in his heart.

Just as he was about to spray it back, the subordinate passed by the county magistrate of Lu and said carefully: "It's too late. County magistrate Chen and the generals have worked hard to eliminate the harm to the people. If you don't dislike it, you might as well take a good rest in the city? However, the county of Luxia has suffered from the robbery. There is nothing good to entertain everyone. Please don't blame the county magistrate Chen."

Chen Tang felt sad.

She curled her lips and felt a little displeasure: "Forget it, there is no shortage of this meal. Since the bandits have retreated and the crisis in the capital has been lifted, we are planning to stay outside the city for a night and search for the traces of the bandits tomorrow. If they have changed their route to another place, we will also go home."

When the subordinates heard this, they were immediately anxious and kept winking at the desolate Lu County Governor.

Gu Ni

He stepped on his feet and said angrily: "Lord!"

The governor of Lu County said: "Slow!"

Chen Tang looked at him coldly.

The governor of Lu County took a deep breath, lowered his posture, and asked Chen Tang to enter the city in a tone of some pleading but reluctant reluctance. Chen Tang was puzzled, became a little alert, and said, "Since that's the case, I'm working."

After saying that, the tense and stiff atmosphere suddenly eased.

The governor of Lu County personally led Chen Tang into the city.

Chen Tang exchanged winks with Chu Yaokang in secret.

I always feel a little strange.

But I'm not sure.

Because when the Sibao County formed an alliance, the county magistrate of Lu saw that Chen Tang's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose. Well, not only Lu County magistrate, but most of them were this broken attitude, which was said to be related to Chen Tang's trouble after drinking.

Chen Tang said that he was very wronged.

She has bad wine, not bad character.

How can I kill you with one blow?

Besides, the bad things that Chen Tang did when she was drunk had to do with her sober Chen Tang? She was not interested in causing trouble!

Just looking at the traces of the city wall, I can't imagine the fierceness of this battle. Until I entered the city, I saw the corpses lying in the city cave and had not yet been cleaned. Most of them were bandits wearing tattered gauze cloth, and broken door blocking stones. The wooden pillars of the door blocking were lying quietly. This shows that the bandits once broke through the city gate and entered the outer city several times in a hurry!

At a glance, there are hundreds of them.

This is true for the city cave, and the outer city is even worse.

Seeing Chen Tang frowned and looked compassionate, his subordinates said, "The fierce battle has stopped, and it is still time to send someone to clean up."

Chen Tang waved his hand and signaled that he didn't mind.

It’s just a pity that these people died inexplicably. If the world was not difficult, they would not have been forced to become bandits and die here. This scene also strengthened Chen Tang’s determination to protect the common people of Heyin. As long as she was the Lord of Heyin, she would not allow these things to run to her territory and break up her stall.

Where did you find it? Where did you kill me?

The pit was found and drowned on the spot!

The governor of Lu County held a banquet to entertain several envoys from the family.

In addition, he brought good wine and food to entertain more than 10,000 soldiers. Chen Tang secretly ordered Bai Su to pay attention to the good wine and food to see if someone had done something wrong. Bai Su was puzzled and puzzled: "Lord, what do you mean is this Lu's man who is surnamed Lu?"

But why?

They are reinforcements, not attacking the city.

If they are killed, the refugees and bandits turn around and attack the Luxia County District. Judging from the current garrison, the government will not resist the next attack. Using conspiracy to deal with the alliance at this time is tantamount to pouring a crane into a red head for yourself!

Chen Tang said: "Be careful when you go out."

Be careful to sail the ship for a thousand years.

Although Bai Su was puzzled, he still received the order.

Chu Yao said: "Has the lord discovered the problem?"

Chen Tang nodded: "There is indeed a problem. You said, where is the city gate and city cave? It is the key to a city! Once attacked by the enemy into the outer city, why do you feel confident that the enemy who was defeated will not take advantage of their fatigue to attack again? The right way is to clear the corpses of the city cave as soon as possible, move stones, or even block the corpse of the corpse."

But except for this problem, nothing else is wrong.

The governor of Lu County really has no motivation to harm others.

All of them are here. If they leave because of this reason, it is one of them to startle the enemy. Secondly, if there is no problem with others, they are simply killing without extra manpower to clear the city cave and deploy defense. Chen Tang will be accused of being a bad reputation if he does this.

The previous rescue grace was also erased.

There are more enemies for no reason.

This information was also passed to the other three companies.

I have to tighten my nerves tonight and not take them lightly. If the food is fine, I should eat and drink, just let me know and don’t let people see the flaws. When the sky is completely bright, I will make plans. Everyone has no objection.

To be on the safe side, Kang Shi, Xian Yujian, Gong Shuwu and others did not attend the banquet and found an excuse to keep them.

Zhao Feng and Chu Yao followed.

The Gu Mother in Shaochong's body was just suppressed, so it was not suitable to appear in such an occasion. He only sent an official as a representative. Tianhai and Yiru families also had similar arrangements. Luxia County did not understand the situation of the troops in the four families and did not notice it.

It is said that life is difficult and poor, but the table used for reception is still acceptable. There is wine and meat. The county magistrate of Lu also arranged simple singing and dancing, but he just lost his son and was not in the mood to eat meat and drink, and replaced it with vegetarian dishes and tea.

Chen Tang also expressed his understanding.

After all, her alcohol tolerance is not good.

Both of them were drinking tea, and soon Bai Su's news came - there was no problem with the rice and grain for entertaining more than 10,000 soldiers, and there was no suspicious person to follow the temporary camp where they were stationed. Chen Tang calmly digested the information

Is she too suspicious?

As the atmosphere during the meal warmed up, the others gradually let go of eating and drinking. Compared to the stinky face of the county magistrate of Lu County, the subordinate was very enthusiastic. He came down to persuade everyone to drink, but he was very timid, able to speak, and spoke nicely.

Chen Tang was toasted the most.

A full pot of tea was poured.

She took advantage of the light of the candles in the room and saw other officials of the Lu County Magistrate and asked casually: "Hey, Duke Lu, when the Sibao County formed an alliance last time, where did your aide go?"

The governor of Lu County asked: "Who?"

Chen Tang gestured: "A short, with two goatee beards, looking like a strategist in his forties."

The governor of Lu County said with a dark face: "There is no such person around me, so Mr. Shen is afraid that he remembers it wrong."

He admires tall and mighty masculine men the most, such as his one, a real man. Anyone who is not as tall as his neck and is as thin as a bamboo pole is considered to be a false man in his opinion. He can't use it at all, let alone bringing him to such an important alliance. It just so happened that Chen Tang's description was so clear that she must have remembered it.

Chen Tang smiled awkwardly and apologized to the other party.

Murmuring in my heart: This is not fake

The so-called "goose-hued clerk" was naturally Chen Tang's random tricks on the Lu County Magistrate. The other party's reaction was naturally, and it was obviously the deity rather than a disguise. Just when Shen Tang was about to gradually put down her guard, she found that among the subordinates of Luxia County, the middle-aged man with a different identity and a strategist outfit was in shape.

It doesn't fit the aesthetics of the Lu County Magistrate.

Tsk tsk tsk—

Chen Tang raised his vigilance.

With the action of drinking tea, Chu Yao and Zhao Feng gave Chu Yao and Zhao Feng the look of "You know what I mean", and both understood it. The rest of the people were coaxed by the subordinate who could speak of goodness and drank one glass of wine after another, but the drinking level in this era was not high, and one person drank three or five jars but was not drunk, let alone most of them were literary scholars and brave warriors.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

No matter how good the alcohol content is, it will be a certain degree.

As one person slammed and fell on the food table, Chen Tang was still talking to the county magistrate of Lu - specifically, Chen Tang was chasing, and the county magistrate of Lu listened patiently. When she heard the movement, she turned her head and said with a funny look: "Oh, just this is the alcohol tolerance, tsk tsk tsk!"

County Governor Lu: ""

Although he didn't say anything, his expression and eyes revealed everything.

Chen Tang’s alcohol tolerance is well known. He even jokes about how many jars of people can drink with a glass?

Chen Tang did not blush at all.

After almost the conversation, she suddenly asked the governor of Lu County: "Hey, don't look unfamiliar with you. You have never seen this before and you know that you are a talented person."

County Governor Lu: ""

He knew that Chen Tang was unrestrained, but he didn't know that this guy was still so nonsense in serious occasions. He followed Chen Tang's gaze and said, "Of course you haven't seen him before. He hasn't followed Sibao County before."
