"If we run out of grain, won't we lose money? If we can rob a batch of grain and grass, hey, doesn't that mean we have another harvest?"
"That's right, that's right. Look at our villa, Tuanyong only has wooden poles, and he doesn't even have a gun. If we find the right opportunity to make a fortune and get some armor, swords, guns and shields, then our Tuanyong will be even more powerful.
Already?"
The more the two of them talked, the brighter their eyes became, as if they had already seen the huge harvest. Zhou Xing walked up to the two of them, bent down and looked at the two of them, and said: "It's a beautiful idea, so tell me, let's rob it."
If the officers and soldiers mobilized thousands of troops from the front with food, grass and baggage, how should they deal with it?"
Zhou Bao and Huang Shi glanced at each other, and Huang Shi said: "We are doing this secretly. As long as we are not bitten by them, who will get into this ditch and find our villa? If they really find us, don't we still have a group?"
You're brave, you can just practice your skills."
Zhou Xing slapped Huang Shi on the back of the head and shouted: "You are so big. There are more than a hundred people. If you fight against an army of thousands, you will die, and the few hundred people in the villa will die too."
Huang Shi also felt that what he said was wrong, and was a little frustrated, and said: "Sir, please be gentle, it hurts a lot, so what do you mean, you can't do this?"
Zhou Xing had a bad smile on his face and said: "It's okay if it hurts. If you don't fight, you won't learn the lesson. People like us can't afford to win and lose. If we don't want to be perfect, we can't act rashly. Of course we can do this, and we have to do it."
Do it quickly, do it now!"
When Huang Shi and Zhou Bao heard this, they immediately jumped up from the ground and said in unison: "What should we do if there are really thousands of troops coming to kill us?"
Zhou Xing secretly thought, if there are really thousands of troops coming to attack, what else can be done, the only choice is to have it cold. But Hanzhong is about to be defeated. It is estimated that the battle ahead is tight, even if they lose some food and grass, it will be nothing more than next time.
Just line up more people to escort you. You will definitely not bother to look for him. Once you lose, there will be no one to look for him. But he knows that Zhou Jimi is about to be finished in Hanzhong, but how can he tell others? He can't tell stories.
Is it written on it?
Zhou Xing couldn't think of a good explanation for a while, so he had to pretend to be mysterious and said: "Don't worry, I have already calculated it. As long as we don't break into the army's nest directly, we will definitely not be able to recruit the army. The key is how we convince those people
Elder Chief A, if they stop our actions, even though I am the director of security, I cannot go against the will of the Presbyterian Council."
Zhou Bao chuckled and said: "This matter depends on you. Our two brothers can't help. Who makes you the commander?"
After saying that, he ran back to wash up and change clothes. Zhou Xing looked at Huang Shi, stared at him and said, "Why don't you follow me?"
Huang Shi suppressed his laughter and said politely: "Sir, brother, I live here, where can I go? Brother needs help, brother, I won't say anything. I will do whatever you say, whatever you want me to say."
Just say it”
Zhou Xing pushed Huang Shi, laughed and scolded: "Get out of here, I'll let you say what you say. I want to know what to say, so why bother?"
Luo Yin sat sideways on a small donkey, sighing as he walked.
From the fourth year of Qianning to Mian County when he took office, he has been in the position of chief executive for more than five years. Look at the skinny donkey under his crotch, and then look at his official uniform with two patches, Luo
Yin sighed again. Alas, it has been more than twenty years. That was still the first year of Emperor Xizong's Zhonghe, right? It is now the autumn of the second year after the liberation, and it is not more than twenty years ago.
Luo Yin originally lived in a farm on the outskirts of Tongzhou City. Although his family was not wealthy, he was from a scholarly family with enough food and clothing. His family had not been prosperous since his great ancestors.
He was running the business for him, and his family also had thirty or fifty acres of fertile land. Luo Yin was smart since he was a child, and he was well-read and eager to learn. At that time, in Tongzhou and in the countryside, there were few people who didn't know about Luo Xiucai, a child prodigy. Luo Yin himself, who had not experienced the ups and downs of the world, was also very ambitious.
, in his heart, he simply looked down on those sour scholars who only knew how to write and type. Those who studied for practical purposes, like Zhuge Wuhou, were poor and could be alone, and if they were prosperous, they could become generals and prime ministers and govern the world. This is what a scholar looks like.
Therefore, although Luo Yin is good at all kinds of poems, lyrics and poems, what he is most proud of is that he knows everything from the hundreds of schools of thought, the laws of Qin and Han, to the art of war and strategies. Luo Yin has always thought that every book, every sword, can walk.
In the world, one day, if you can speak to the princes, become famous in the court, and be favored by the emperor's decree, you can rise to the top of the world. With your talents, you can pacify the world and become a famous minister.
It's a pity that although the dream is good, the reality is
It was so cruel. Before he could wake up from his dream, the rebels broke through Chang'an. The rebels came out in all directions and attacked the city. Tongzhou was not a happy town. The traitor general Zhu Wen led 40,000 troops and came to the city. Luo Yin
When he heard that the ancestral temple in Chang'an had been lost and that the emperor was in ruins in Xichuan, he immediately burst into tears and left his old parents behind, resolutely heading west alone to follow the imperial court in Chengdu.
But what kind of court is that? I have been loyal to myself thousands of miles away, but no one cares about it at all. Those high-ranking officials and generals are either vulgar and unlettered warriors, or they are children of aristocratic families who can only talk all day long. For an unknown and humble family like him, let alone
Whether he was a general or a prime minister, or even if he wanted to find a career path, it was extremely difficult. Luo Yin had nowhere to go, and he had no money, so he had no choice but to live in the market, earning a living by writing and selling paintings.
.
Until three years later, there was a Shence army leader who wanted to find a Shu Qi master. He happened to pass by him on the street and saw that his calligraphy was good, so he recruited him into his command and brought him to Chang'an City. This Shence army leader,
If you don't know a single Chinese character, how can you understand the principle of respecting talents and morality? Luo Yin looks like a servant, shouting and drinking all day long. Luo Yin couldn't bear the humiliation and repeatedly asked to leave, but the military leader refused.
Fang. This military leader relied on the power of the eunuch's adoptive father and was a man with military power. What he said was quite clear: "Our family knows that we are vulgar. You, Lao Luo, look down on our family, but our family is not trying to trick you. I
With my status as a serious scholar, no one will come to my place, so you can just make do, since your food and clothing will be indispensable anyway. One day, if things get along well, our family will also tell my adoptive father, "Let's go."
You are an official, and if you run away on your own, don't blame our rudeness and lose your life, you are asking for it."
At that time, Luo Yin almost wanted to die, but he was still unwilling to accept it. Thinking about it, Chang'an, although it was the capital, had long been a place of chaos and lawlessness. If he had been harmed by this warrior without any reason, that would be the case.
An unjust death is not repayable. He who endured so much endured it for eight or nine years. Later, the army leader's adoptive father was killed by the rebel army. The army leader lost his fighting power and his usual arrogance was somewhat restrained.
With the help of his familiar master, he left the military leader. The master's boss was none other than the popular Shence military leader Zhou Jizhao. He treated the master well and he was kind. I heard from the master that Luo Yin had some talents, but he didn't deserve it.
For the sake of my master, I decided to clear some channels and appointed Luo Yin to Bo, the lord of Mian County.
Luo Yin now feels that he is full of talents, but he has fallen to this point and is already ashamed to see others. He is alone and has been working in Mian County for five years. In these five years, three county magistrates have been changed, but Luo Yin
Yin's position as chief secretary is still safe. First, no one takes the position of chief secretary seriously. No one wants to be a ninth-grade official in this poor county. Secondly, Luo Yin's
Talent is really not something to brag about. Things in the county can be managed in an orderly manner with a little help. Every county magistrate is really unwilling to leave such a skilled person.
The autumn wind blew by, bringing a chill to the person. Luo Yin pulled on his patched official uniform and looked at the common people in front and behind him, feeling even more uncomfortable. In the past few years, when Lord Bo was here, he looked like a commoner, but he may not know the county magistrate.
But no one knows him as a drunkard who likes to drink, gets drunk when he drinks, and is always drunk. The people of Mian County are good. The government levies food when it says it, and it comes when it says it. I haven't seen that person.
The people said no. But the people are suffering too much. In the past few years, although they were hungry and cold, they were still able to survive, but this war has been fought from last year to now. First, the emperor arrived in Fengxiang, and the army
Due to the shortage of grain, the county's official warehouse taxes were all transferred to Guanzhong. Later, the Shu army attacked again, and the grain and grass were collected twice in a row and transported to the Sanquan Camp.
They were all left behind to serve as soldiers for fighting. The autumn harvest had just ended, and before the people had even had time to have a full meal, the general who supervised the transportation of grain and grass arrived in the county. Mian County is a small county with only 3,000 households.
This year, more than 10,000 kilograms of grain have been taken away. If the cattle and camels are now transported to the military camp, the common people may not even have the seeds and grain for next year. If the war continues, no one will care about the common people.
, I am afraid that more than 10,000 people will starve to death in Mian County next year.
Luo Yin thought about it, feeling a wave of sadness in his heart. He couldn't be an official anymore. In vain, the people thought that he was just like Qing Tian, but in the eyes of the soldiers and generals, he was just like these people, not all.
A slave who can be given and taken away. What the general said at that time: "Look at you wearing a hat, you really think of yourself as an official. I tell you, without me fighting to death and living in the front, this place would be long gone."
His mother was robbed by that bastard Wang Jian. The people have no food, and I tell you, they will live or die.
I don’t care. If you don’t start to increase the volume of business today and cut off the army’s rations, I will cut you alive and dry it to make jerky for the brothers.”
Yes, they were able to do this. There were six corpses hanging on the street for public display. These people were beheaded for public display after they found out about secretly leaving some seeds. Beasts, these beasts, they were
In my eyes, the lives of ordinary people are as cheap as dogs!
Luo Yin's team consisted of more than 80 large and small vehicles and hundreds of livestock. The camels were transporting grain and grass baggage from Mian County to Sanquan. Because the search was still going on, the captain who led the team left 300 people stationed there.
Mian County only brought fifty people to escort. Anyway, there are steep mountains in front of them. The army is stationed in Mapanzhai, and the Shu army cannot get through. Fifty people are responsible for escorting hundreds of old and weak people.
More than enough.
Seeing Luo Yin walking in the team on a donkey, the captain was furious. He was just a sour scholar, and he dared to talk back to him. Well, when he got to the military camp, he would kill this old guy.
Incorporate him into the army. If we don't kill him, as if we can't tolerate him, let those bastards from the Shu Army chop off his head. Look at him like this, why did he go to the battlefield?
The goods given.
The captain made up his mind. When he looked at Luo Yin, he looked like he had died young. He felt a sense of contempt in his heart. How many years had it passed, and the people were still working for the people all day long. If the military rations were not collected, the people would be able to live.
How are you going to get by with an army of 30,000? You can't go hungry and wield knives and guns, right? You are really a poor scholar who has no knowledge of worldly affairs. He is a ninth-rank official and wears patches on his clothes. He deserves to be poor.
Look at the sun when it reaches the top of the head. After driving for half a day, the captain is still hungry and thirsty. He turns around the mountain and there is a river over there where he can rest. The captain is about to urge the team. Suddenly
There was a sound in the forest in front of the room. Although the captain was young and had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, his reaction was quick. He had already heard the sound of a bow and arrow leaving the string. He rolled over and fell off his horse. His body had just fallen off.
After landing, several screams came out from the group of sergeants: "Oh, oh, oh."
The captain rolled over in a hurry, took advantage of the situation, stood up, hid his body behind the horse, and shouted loudly: "Don't scream, you will be attacked by the enemy."
The sergeants, except for the few who were shot, all rushed over, armed with spears and swords, and surrounded the captain. In the woods in front, except for these arrows, no one came out. When you look closely, the grass and trees in the woods are shaking.
Several figures can be seen, disappearing away.
The captain waved his hand, and the sergeants gathered around him. He took a few steps forward and looked at the sergeants who were shot down. Three of them were shot in the chest and abdomen, and two were shot directly in the face. They were not dead, but they were shouting.
*. Seeing the black blood flowing out of the wound, the captain frowned and looked carefully at the arrows. They were not the military standard, but looked like the poisonous arrows used by hunters. These sergeants saw that there was more air coming in and less air coming out. It was alive.
It doesn't work.
The captain of the school was tricked. It looked like it was done by seven or eight hunters. He was so angry that he was so angry. Several hunters dared to attack the general of his army. If he didn't kill a few hunters
The bastard was caught, cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and still not laughed to death when he went home.
The captain looked back and saw the people who were transporting grain. Seeing the posture of the sergeants just now, they didn't know what was going on. They were so frightened that they hid behind the vehicles and animals and did not dare to move. Only the sour scholar was still there.
In that way, he looked at his group of people coldly.
The captain ordered a small leader: "You boy, lead your ten people and watch them here. If anyone dares to move, I will kill them directly. The others, let me go, catch those few
Bandits, avenge these brothers."
After saying that, he took his bow and arrows, took off his spear from his horse, and led the sergeants in pursuit into the woods.
Although the dozens of sergeants were interested in poisonous arrows, they were not afraid after considering that they were just a few hunters. Each armed with a sword and a gun, they followed the captain in pursuit.
Zhou Bao led several regiment soldiers, and while running, he looked back and saw that the captain had led his men to chase into the woods. Just go slower. After all, these sergeants can't keep up with these hunters when it comes to crossing mountains and ridges.
Tuan Yong. Zhou Bao chuckled and said: "This guy is very skilled. He actually dodged one of my arrows. He is very brave and dares to chase me. Don't run away. Wait for them and give him another shot."
