Chapter 239 Bandits Entering the City (Part 2)
The bandits entered the city in a mighty manner, with a total of not many. The weapons used by 500 or 600 people were similar to those used by northerners, and they were also cylindrical, which made a weapon that sounded a person.
The people in the city hid at home and dared not come out. These are bandits who robbed the house. Who dares to provoke them? But the gentry in the city had to come out to mediate, hoping to win over the relationship with this group of bandits and meet their requirements so that they could leave earlier.
The soldiers in Mao County were disarmed because of the non-resistance policy of county magistrate Sun Yi. The bandits led the young man, who was covered in face, seemed easy to talk. Sun Yi walked up with his confidants and gentry just after introducing himself, he had been tied up by the young man's order.
"This boss, if you have something to do, don't be too rude!" Sun Yi was afraid that these bandits would be unreasonable. Now that something was worried about happened, why don't he be nervous?
The young man walked over with a fierce look on his face and shouted, "Are you the county magistrate of Mao County?"
Sun Yi nodded quickly.
"Then I'm going to tie you up. Go out and listen. You're a bully. I've always been upset with a bully like you!" The young man greeted, "Little ones, hang this turtle grandson on the city tower and drizzle for a day or two."
Although this young man's voice is quite tender, he is not vague at all. Many of his men obey his words and obey his words. He then yelled and tied up Sun Yi and hanged him on the city tower. Sun Yi had never enjoyed the treatment of hanging the city tower, and shouted and begged for mercy.
"This is the end that cannot be compared with the people!" The young leader pointed at Sun Yi on the city tower and said arrogantly.
When the gentry saw the county magistrates treated him like this, they were so arrogant that they did not dare to breathe. Fortunately, these bandits did not kill and plunder when they entered the city. They looked orderly, but were just asking about the location of the granary repeatedly.
"This king, how can you take your people away? If King Jing knew you were here, I'm afraid..."
The older gentleman was halfway through the words, and the young man's face darkened: "Who is the king?"
The older gentleman then realized that they didn't like this title. He asked, "I wonder which chair you are ranked?"
"What's the seat? I'm the commander of the army. Please call me Commander Huo. We have the final say that the commander is the commander. He is the most official and we listen to him in everything."
It is the first time that everyone has heard of the titles of "army commander" and "commander". It is strange and even more difficult to understand. However, those who travel around the world always have slander words that ordinary people cannot understand. The gentry did not feel strange either.
The gentry looked at each other and it seemed that the young man had no experience in dealing with gentry, so how could he say his surname casually? The older gentry then asked: "This Chief Huo, you came to Maoxian... I don't know what purpose?"
"Nothing else, call out your business!"
The older gentry looked up the city tower, and the young man remembered that the person in charge had been hung up the city tower by him.
The young man cleared his throat and said, "Although I am a bandit, I am very moral. Our commander said that there are three purposes to enter the city. To sum up, they are the Three Lights."
The older gentleman asked, "What are the Three Lights?"
"Kill them all, burn them all, grab them all!"
"Ah?" Huo Bing's words had just finished. The gentry was so upset that if it weren't for the surroundings being surrounded by bandits, they might have already spread their legs. These bandits were indeed not Yi and they had to kill all the people, but also burn them all. The most brutal bandits in the world were just like this.
Huo Bing blinked, as if he felt that he had missed something, and added: "Don't be nervous. Our commander means to kill all the stubborn people, burn all the granaries, and rob all the ill-gotten wealth and distribute it to the people. It should be that there is nothing missed, the commander of the army?"
The one who was silent on the side was Lian Husheng, Liu Yu's personal guard captain, was now the commander of the Five Route Army.
Although the armies of each line were divided into the Eighth Route Army. In fact, there were only six routes, one line did not have one line, and the fourth line was vacant, leaving the two, three, five, six, seven, and eighth Route Army. Each line ranged from about three hundred to five hundred people. The fifth and eighth Route Army combined with the Eighth Route Army had about seven hundred people. In addition to the four hundred who entered the city, there were three hundred people guarding prisoners of war outside the city.
Lian Husheng nodded and said, "Chief Huo is right."
Those gentry felt very strange, they were also military commanders, and the young man’s qualifications were not necessarily much older than those of that year. It was the stupid young man who had the final say.
Huo Bing ordered the gentry, "Then start to act, point out the granary in the city, set fire, and then put the ill-gotten wealth..." At this point, Huo Bing glanced coldly and found that the gentry's faces were not very good-looking. When he thought about it, he probably understood that these gentry were all making their homes with ill-gotten wealth.
"Relief to the people!" Huo Bing finally added.
The gentry was in an uproar. These bandits entered the city, not wealth or women, and had to burn grain and rob the rich to help the poor. They had never seen such a cruel bandit, nor had they seen bandits who like to be superficial. The bandits had heard of the principles of these gentry, but the principles were limited. The bandits should not forget the job of bandits, that is robbery! Why don’t these bandits rob?
After discussing with the gentry behind, the older gentry came over and said, "We... are willing to take out some of the wealth and honor Commander Huo!"
He thought the young man couldn't get rid of his face and asked for something, so he told him for the young man.
Huo Bing said furiously: "What are you saying? I'll leave this. Before we leave, we will not kill anyone or take away a penny of food. This is the rule set by our commander. In addition to our three-light policy, we also have three-lights. It cannot be called three-lights, it should be called three-lights! Kill all the traitors and delayed fighter planes, kill all the people who do not obey commands and disobey orders, and kill all the people who disturb the people! Why, do you want me to see the King of Hell?"
The elderly gentleman said hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not."
I felt ashamed and thought that no wonder these bandits could have been prosperous in the surrounding counties. Even King Jing and King Huai were afraid of it. In addition to their strong combat effectiveness and advanced weapons, they also had such strict discipline, which was even more binding than ordinary troops. Looking at the bandits, they did not disturb the people or cause trouble, and were in order.
"This Chief Huo, please go to the county magistrate's mansion to have a rest. We... have good wine and good food to entertain."
The gentry originally wanted to use something else to bribe the young man, which was a last resort. Who knew what these bandits would do at night? Some bandits said nice words but not in terms of execution. After occupying some manors, they usually say some beautiful words, but at night, the bandits began to be unable to sit still, raped and plundered, and even caused murder. However, they had swords and weapons, and the men, women, young and young in the manor could only bear it. The young and strong men could not resist when they saw their wives and daughters were insulted, and they would smile and send away those who killed thousands of swords the next day.
The gentry thought it was pretty good, so they got the young man drunk with wine and food, and then found a few beautiful prostitutes to serve them at night. As long as the person in charge did not cause trouble, the lower part would generally be calm.
Who knew that Huo Bing shouted: "We don't eat wine and food, kill chickens and sheep."
On the one hand, he said he would not eat food, and on the other hand, he said he would kill chickens and sheep. There was no need to have one set in person, one set behind him, two sets in person!
Huo Bing added: "Kill chickens and sheep to comfort the people. At the same time, post a notice, let the people in the city come out together, and of course you will take care of the food and drink cost!"
This is an order issued by the bandit leader, killing chickens and sheep, and letting the whole city come. After coming, it is not very convenient for them to kill, cut off or rape or loot? Even if they know that it will be very dangerous, the people will have to come. At that time, no one in the family will come, and these bandits will search from door to door, and those who are searched will undoubtedly die!
The gentry received orders and learned that these bandits had begun to go to the granary to prepare for fever. While they were extremely panicked, they also wanted to go downstairs to instruct the people.
"Some people are going to attack these bandits at the banquet, but I've stopped them." A gentleman came over and said to the older gentleman.
"Don't fight against these demons for no reason. You have seen it. They climbed up to attack the city, and didn't even need a rope!" The gentry said laughingly and crying, "There are one or two thousand regular troops outside the city who are not their opponents. Can the garrison battalion in the city fight against them? A light will kill people. Who has ever seen these cruel bandits!"
The people reluctantly came out of every household. The men's eyes were full of anger, and the women and children's faces were covered with coal ash, for fear that these bandits would have special habits to attack the children. And those children who were originally very disobedient and crying were also very obedient and quiet at this time. They were also frightened by these hungry wolves-like bandits and did not even dare to cry.
The people were dead, as if prisoners who were about to be tried, stood at the door of the county magistrate's mansion. Huo Bing was invited by the gentry from the granary. Huo Bing looked at everyone and said in surprise: "So many have come?"
"Everyone who can come is here." The older gentleman said helplessly, "There are many people who can't afford to sit on the bed."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to invite anyone who can't afford to sit on the bed. You have to take care of all the mouths."
The gentry whispered to each other, obviously they couldn't understand Huo Bing's meaning. With so many mouths, is this young man really want to treat the people in the city well?
It was also the gentry who were usually afraid of the government. In the years since Sun Yi took office, he has not only exploited the people but also exploited the rich households. His money and grain were basically greedy by Sun Yi. The originally wealthy county town is not as prosperous as before, and many merchants have moved elsewhere.
