Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two: Thousands of miles of red land, the bones are cold

I set foot on the land of Yongzhou again and looked around and saw different things.

I remember that when Chen Sanlang and Xiaoyao Fudao left Yongzhou that day, it was Shi Pojun who defeated Yongzhou and there were many refugees. How could the word "chaos" be "chaos"? As for later, I heard countless descriptions of the tragic situation in Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is no longer in chaos now, and the sound of chickens and dogs is hard to hear, and it is dead silent. Sometimes when you encounter a village, the houses are basically broken and deserted. Some white bones are standing horizontally, making people feel cold in their hands and feet. There are shadows circling in the sky and croaking. Suddenly, they are alarmed by the voices, and wild dogs will pop out of the ruins. They are green eyes and are not afraid of people. They just stare at the team like staring at pieces of delicious food...

I don’t know how much dead flesh this wild dog has eaten. His hair is white all over, his mouth is open, revealing his hideous fangs, and he keeps drooling.

When he was watching it, a Zhuang soldier in the army couldn't help but bend his bow and arrow and shoot it out. His head was a bit short and he fell three feet away next to the wild dog.

The wild dog growled, turned around, ran away quickly, and disappeared.

Zhou Fen Cao rode on the horse and sighed, "This place is like Avici Hell."

In the army, there was a feeling of depression spreading. Everyone knew that Yongzhou was miserable, but they never thought it would be like this. It was not a place for people to stay. So, why did Lord Chen insist on coming here instead of going to Zhongzhou?

At the very least, even if Zhongzhou is lost, you can still go to Mingzhou again. Mingzhou is the capital, and the imperial court has heavy troops stationed, which is as solid as a god.

Having said that, it is not easy to intercept hundreds of thousands of king-supporting troops in Zhongzhou now. Even if the barbarian army is powerful and fierce, it is not so easy to defeat the coalition forces.

Aware of the fluctuation of people's hearts, Zhou Fencao frowned slightly and sighed in his heart. However, he also knew that the current situation was useless. The most important thing was to speed up the speed of the army and settle down as soon as possible. As long as the power develops and the lives of the people who follow him are guaranteed, all doubts and opposition will disappear.

After running for a day, it was really a thousand miles away, with corpses everywhere, and there was no chance of popularity. Even Chen Sanlang, who had expected it, was a little shocked when he saw it, and thought to himself: Could it be that the huge Yongzhou has a huge population, except for those who escaped as refugees, all the rest were slaughtered?

The barbarian army and the Shura Sect are simply demonic behaviors!

The dusk began to shroud, and the army found a village that could barely live in. They sent people to clean up and prepare to make a fire to make a meal.

The Zhuangzi has long been destroyed and no one survives. However, from the remaining ruins, it can be seen that the Zhuangzi is not small in size, with a thousand households. The guardrails and the like are tall and thick, but they have all been broken. The blood stains are dark red on the bricks and stones. After all, they have experienced some fighting and killing, and some broken swords and guns can be found on the ground.

In fact, under the jurisdiction of the dynasty, there were many gentry and powerful people distributed in various prefectures and counties. Most of them were family-based, and relying on their strong financial and material resources, they spent a lot of money to hire hospital guards, gathered young and strong men, trained every day, and became family soldiers.

Internally, family soldiers can maintain order and are not afraid of tenant farmers' rebellion; externally, family soldiers can resist invasion of bandits and play a great role.

However, when the enemy you face is a powerful barbarian army or a large number of bandits, these domestic soldiers appear thin and difficult to fight.

Chen Sanlang reached out to touch the remaining blood on the wall, and his eyebrows were locked deep.

Xiaoyao Fudao began to chant words and practice the method, and from time to time, he inspires a few talismans to come out and float away.

Most of these talismans are fancy styles, but they are completely different in the eyes of many family women, and I feel very at ease.

You should know that there are countless people who died in this Zhuangzi, and the ghosts are depressed and will not disperse. If you do a ritual, it will be much cleaner and you will sleep peacefully.

On that day, the Jingjiang monster was a big demon, Xiaoyao Fudao was not strong enough, and was taken away by Chen Sanlang's pen in Zhenjiang. His self-esteem was deeply hit and he was very depressed for a few days. However, Zhou Fencao and others knew about this, but many of his subordinates were unaware of it, and their family and women were not aware of it. In their minds, Xiaoyao Fudao's status and weight remained undiminished at all.

The residence was cleaned up and the fire started. As various foods were cooked, the aroma lingered.

After working hard all day, many people were sleepy and sat around the fire, baking the fire, smelling the fragrance of food, and constantly swallowing their saliva.

In addition, Chen Sanlang arranged a team of Zhuang soldiers to be on guard and pay attention to the movements around. He also sent several clever eyes and ears to take them to the farther perimeter to patrol and inquire.

Although I have never seen anyone along the way, it is best to be careful in everything. At present, Yongzhou has long become the temple of the Shura Sect, and those ghost tricks have to be guarded against.

I spent the night safely.

The next day, everyone got up early, had breakfast, and continued to set off, heading towards the Laoshan Mansion.

On the third day, it started to rain, drizzle and never ended. The official road was wet and suddenly became muddy. When people walked on it, they would slip and fall if they accidentally walked.

The speed of the army has simply slowed down.

"Report!"

In the wind and rain, a horse ran back from the front with a whip and came to Chen Sanlang. He was the scout spy responsible for the sudden outbreak. At this moment, he was soaked in the rain and his face was covered with water droplets, but it was difficult to hide the anxiety he showed.

"Sir, there is Jiaoshan more than ten miles away. There is a group of bandits entrenched on the mountain, with more than 500 people. The residents of the nearby villages were trapped by them and specially intercepted passers-by..."

Chen Sanlang heard this and asked, "What kind of thieves are they?"

When Yongzhou fell, the government no longer existed, and the soldiers were in chaos. When the barbarian army passed by, they just burned, killed, looted, just like locusts ate, regardless of other things. Under such circumstances, the people were living in poverty and fled, and the people who stayed behind became bandits and even occupied the mountains and became kings in order to survive, or joined the rebel army, and even occupied the mountains and became kings. When power was formed, they directly entered nearby prefectures and prefectures and counties, and proclaimed themselves as officials, and all kinds of messy official titles were included. In a small county, a title like "King with One Word Side" appeared, which was ridiculous.

Anyway, the entire Yongzhou has become a land of unlimited land, divided into countless sectors, large and small, and whoever occupys it will belong to it. The frequency and speed of power change is unimaginable. Today is the king, tomorrow is the enemy; today is the big fish and meat, and tomorrow will die without a place to bury...

There are countless forces of all sizes, and of course the strongest one is the Barbarian Army. However, the Barbarian Army has no intention of staying. At present, the main forces are basically gathered on the border of Yongzhou to prepare to attack Zhongzhou. There are also many Barbarian Army teams entrenched in the prefectures of Yongzhou, acting as a mighty man and responsible for plundering military funds.

The barbarian army ruled Yongzhou on the surface, while the Shura Sect was very popular in secret, poisoning creatures. I don’t know how many things that harmed the heavens.

In addition to the Shura Sect, there are several rebels organized and led by righteous men who are still loyal to the court. They either occupy a certain city or fight guerrilla warfare, constantly absorb the people and strengthen themselves, and whenever they have the chance, they will attack the barbarians.

But the most numerous forces are still bandits, which can be called "more than cow hair".

Now, this Jiaoshan bandit is one of them.

"The thief is here! The thief is here!"

Another scout rushed back quickly and shouted loudly.

It came so fast.

Chen Sanlang immediately ordered: "All members are on guard and prepare to kill the thief!"
