Among the dense maple trees, there are dotted residential houses. A large number of terraced fields have been reclaimed in the mountains and planted with grains. Behind these terraced fields, there is a wooden village with a radius of several miles and built against the mountain.
, this is a typical fort, which can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains. In troubled times, people have left the towns on the plains that are easily attacked, and hid in these forts in the mountains, gathering people to protect themselves. This can be regarded as a major event of this era.
Featured.
Liu Yu had a dragon-slaying sword stuck on his back, a thunder bow in his hand, and a fine steel mail armor stuck tightly to his body. A protective beam on his helmet stuck tightly to the bridge of his high nose, making the two sides of Liu Yu
His eyes were as bright as lightning. At this moment, he stood alone in front of this tall fort. The gate of the village was closed tightly. On the wall of the village, there were already hundreds of villagers armed with guards, looking like a leader.
, a powerful, black-faced man in his twenties said loudly: "There is nothing you want here, leave quickly!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Fellow, you can see clearly, we are not horse thieves and robbers, we are the officers and soldiers of Jin Dynasty, and we are here to save you."
The man was a little surprised. He looked carefully at Liu Yu and the more than 300 people behind him, and shook his head: "I don't care whether you are Jin soldiers or horse thieves. You are not welcome here. Did you see this sign?
"
He pointed to a wooden sign standing in front of the ditch outside the village. On it were written the four characters "Investors are not allowed to enter", written in Chinese characters and crooked Chinese characters.
Liu Yu nodded and said loudly: "I wonder how you call this good man here?"
The man proudly pointed to his chest: "I will not change my name in work, nor my surname in office. I am Dong Shenhu in Mengshan Mountain. This place was originally called Maple Grove, but now it is called Dongjiawu. I am the one who gathers people to protect the people in our troubled times."
Place. Seeing that you are still reasonable, I don’t want to fight with you, so I’ll leave early.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "Dong Shenhu, do you have the final say here?"
Dong Shenhu was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "What does this have to do with you?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "I can leave, but the thousands of lives in your village may be in danger, so you'd better find someone who can make the decision. I have important matters to discuss with him, and you
Time is running out.”
Dong Shenhu frowned, and just as he was about to speak, an old voice sounded from behind him: "I, Dong Lei, is the leader of the village here. I wonder if this military master has any advice?"
Following these words, an old man in his early fifties with gray beard and hair came out. His face was dignified and red, exuding a sense of majesty. When Dong Shenhu saw him, he quickly bowed his head and saluted: "Dad."
The villagers on the village all saluted and said, "I have met the old man."
Beside Liu Yu, Tan Daoji whispered: "Brother Jinu, this man is very popular. It seems that he is not just the leader of a village here."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "I found out before I came here that Dong Lei is the general manager of more than 300 nearby villages. He can be said to be the leader of the Wubao Alliance, so I came to him directly.
"
At this point, Liu Yu raised his head and said loudly to Dong Lei: "Dong Village Master, I have heard your name a long time ago. They all say that you are eager for justice and righteous, and no one in this ten miles away is dissatisfied.
, I, Liu Yu, am from Jingkou, Yangzhou. I have just arrived in Luoyang City. I wanted to come and visit in a few days, but things happened suddenly and the military situation was raging, so I had no choice but to bring my brothers here. It was not to have any influence on Guizhai.
Please don’t misunderstand what it means to be unfavorable.”
Dong Lei's expression changed: "You said your name is Liu Yu? From Jingkou? But is that Liu Yu from the Beifu Army?"
Liu Yu nodded: "It's just a mere mediocre thing. It's just a waste of fame. It's not worth mentioning. It's not easy to compare with Mr. Dong. However, there is something very serious now. According to our reliable information, the Xiyan army has already passed through."
The Yellow River is coming straight to Luoyang. They will burn and attack the villages along the way. And you are the only way for them to go to Luoyang. I am here on the order of General Zhu Xu.
Please summon the nearby villagers to evacuate to Luoyang together. This is an official document from General Zhu."
As he spoke, he took out an official letter from his arms, tied it to the arrow, removed the arrow, stringed the arrow, and shot out. The arrow without an arrow was nailed directly to the wooden board of the village wall in front of Dong Lei.
, was still shaking from the tail string. The power of this arrow shocked all the strong men on the village to open their eyes and mouths. They stared at Liu Yu in disbelief, as if they had seen a flying fairy from the sky. Even just now
Dong Shenhu, who was so arrogant and arrogant, also changed his face drastically, and his madness was gone.
A look of surprise flashed across Dong Lei's face. He stepped forward and pulled out the arrow. He took the official letter in his hand and looked at it quickly. Then he said sternly: "Master Liu Jun, Dong is aware of the kindness of Governor Zhu. It's just that
We people in the mountains are accustomed to idleness and do not want to be restricted by the government. Besides, after the Northern Expedition of Jin Dynasty in recent years to regain the Central Plains, the officers and soldiers of Wang Division basically never came to our place. Horse thieves and bandits came in waves.
We deal with it ourselves, fight if we can, and retreat if we can't. It doesn't matter. I don't think it will be any different this time. A few days ago, didn't Fu Pi, the former Qin emperor of Bingzhou, also pass by us?
?As soon as the gate of the village is closed like this, he has no choice but to retreat."
Liu Yu sighed and said: "Fu Pi was defeated by Murong Yong of the Western Yan Dynasty and wanted to flee to Bashu and Guanzhong, so he passed here. He was a defeated general and wanted to escape rather than plunder, so naturally he would not stay longer.
But the Xiyan Army is different. The leader of Dong Village should have heard that these Xianbei thieves are cruel and vicious, and they are like locusts wherever they go. Guanzhong was originally fertile and wild and densely populated, but it was these thieves who left the ground covered with corpses for thousands of miles.
Everywhere they encounter resistance, they will only retaliate more ferociously, because their purpose of fighting is to kill and rob, which is different from all the bandits and horse bandits you have seen."
Dong Shenhu sneered and said: "Soldiers will stop us, and water will flood us. There are more than a thousand men in our village, many of whom have been soldiers and fought in the war before. We can also call the neighboring villages within a hundred miles to come to the rescue. Even if the Xiyan army wants to
It's not that easy to break through our Dongjiazhai."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Dong Zhuangshi, I dare to ask you, how does Dongjiazhai compare with Fu Jian's Chang'an city? Compared with your men who have served as soldiers, which one is stronger than the former Qin's Yulin army? It is a good thing to have confidence.
, but if it is arrogance, it is another matter. It will not only harm you, but also harm everyone in the village. Can you bear this responsibility? "
