182: Xiaocheng chaos (twenty-two) [asking for monthly ticket]
It’s not that I’m biased.
It's just that Zheng Qiao and his two brothers are both cesspits, and no one is better than the other. They fight, and the people suffer.
Brother Shen, by helping those two brothers, he is also aiding the evil!
"What are you so dumbfounded about? Let's go quickly!"
The soldiers urged Zhai Le, threatening to kick him if he was stunned again. Zhai Le showed a silly smile and said repeatedly: "Master Bing, don't be angry, Master Bing, don't be angry, it's coming!"
I saw him twisting his wrist, the cattle whip in his hand swaying slightly, and the stopped cattle and sheep followed the instructions obediently.
Zhai Le used to be a person who jumped up and down and loved to learn everything. He had learned a lot of tricks of herding cattle and sheep, and he also pretended to be a cowherd. The soldiers did not suspect them, and treated them as ordinary people and gave orders to them, and they sneaked in smoothly. Rebel camp.
They drove the cattle and sheep to their destination.
The soldiers also ordered them to take good care of the cattle and sheep.
These are "food and grass", and they will be killed later to provide extra meals to the soldiers. As for the rules that farm cattle are precious and cannot be slaughtered?
Hehe, it's not their cow.
They don't know how to plow the land either.
If you kill it, you can eat it, but if you don't kill it, you don't know who will benefit.
When no one was watching them, Zhai Le pretended to feed the cows while whispering privately to his cousin.
"Brother, I just saw Brother Shen."
Zhai Huan hummed, indicating that he understood.
Zhai Le: "Brother, why do you think Brother Shen is here?"
Zhai Huan said: "Maybe everyone has his own ambitions."
This directly implied that Shen Tang was hanging out with the rebels. Zhai Le immediately retorted: "I believe Brother Shen is not that kind of person!"
"Why would a person who is not like that intercept and kill tax collectors?"
Zhai Huan asked back.
Zhai Le was speechless when asked, not knowing how to respond, and said: "But Brother Shen, he didn't expose us..."
Zhai Huan asked: "Did he recognize it?"
Zhai Le said firmly: "Well, I must have recognized him."
That look is absolutely unmistakable!
If Brother Shen is really united with the rebels, there is no reason for him to recognize the two of them and remain silent. In other words - Brother Shen either has something to hide and cannot control himself, or they are approaching the rebels with some purpose. The military camp is waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble!
When I think about it, I feel more and more that the guess is the truth.
Zhai Huan is not so optimistic.
He solemnly warned: "Don't take it lightly."
Zhai Le said: "Yeah."
It was about their brother's wealth and life, so he would not be careless. Thinking of his experiences along the way, Zhai Le, who is optimistic by nature, couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. He knew that things in the world were changeable, but he did not expect that they would change to such an extent that they were "changed beyond all recognition." "Degree.
When they received the smoke that day, their brothers retreated together with Captain Yang and managed to survive for a day before they fully recovered.
This is a high-level brave warrior who would not be able to defeat an ordinary person for seven to eight days. What he saw along the way was shocking.
Although Captain Yang's troops did not suffer much loss in the Battle of Taxes and Silver, and their strength was still relatively intact, there was a fatal problem before them - insufficient water and food!
To be precise, there was not enough dry food, so I could barely survive the whole day!
The rest are on the tax car.
They can neither turn back to get dry food, nor can they continue to march quickly - it consumes too much energy! Once they encounter the rebels and horses, the enemy's troops are strong and our horses are strong, but our troops are tired and horses are exhausted. The former still have a numerical advantage, but the latter only have
Die for it!
These worries caused people to lose heart. While resting on the way back to the rescue, soldiers one after another escaped from the battle, totaling more than a hundred people. Even if Captain Yang used iron and blood to stop them, they could only temporarily suppress the floating people's hearts, but they could not restore the declining momentum.
Seeing this situation, Zhai Huan took the opportunity to make a suggestion.
To put it simply, it is to rob small-scale rebels, collect usable military supplies from them, and maintain their own operations.
This proposal was categorically rejected by Captain Yang at first!
It's not that he doesn't know that a good proposal can help them sustain longer, but what he needs now is a quick return of support!
It’s too late. Once Xiaocheng is captured...
Captain Yang's face was ashen and he didn't dare to think about it. Back then, Zheng Qiao led his troops to capture Sibao County, burned, killed, and looted. The originally prosperous Sibao County collapsed and turned into a wasteland of thousands of miles of starvation. It took two or three years to recover.
Take a breath...
His family members are still in Xiaocheng!
If the siege is followed by massacre...
Just thinking about it made Captain Yang so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
I wish I could capture the governor Yan Cheng and cut him into pieces!
Zhai Huan asked coldly: "According to Captain Yang's method, should we all go back to help, or should we go back and die?"
First, I hurriedly and slowly escorted the grain and fodder, changed lanes on the way and encountered heavy rain, fought fiercely with the gangsters who robbed the tax bank in the middle of the night, and then rushed back to rescue... The whole process did not even take a good breath.
A brave warrior can still carry it, but what about an ordinary soldier?
Give up the lives of these soldiers?
If they give up, what's wrong with them running away in fear of death?
Captain Yang said coldly: "This is different! It's not your family members who are threatened! How many people in Xiaocheng are still waiting... Maybe if we delay for an extra quarter of an hour, the ones who will die..."
Zhai Huan cut off his words without politeness and said: "Yes, our brothers are indeed not natives, so there is no need to worry."
Captain Yang's big copper eyes widened, his nose turned red with anger, and his cheek muscles trembled. Zhai Huan continued: "But which of the soldiers present is not from Xiaocheng? Even if they are not locals from Xiaocheng, look at them
At this age, he is probably married... Captain Yang might as well ask who is not anxious and angry?"
Captain Yang is not the only one who is anxious.
No matter how anxious you are, you can’t rush to die!
Captain Yang clenched his fists: "But..."
"Nothing but!" Zhai Huan used a firm tone of command, with a toughness that could not be argued or refused.
Not afraid of Captain Yang's glare at all, "Isn't Captain Yang's 'return of aid' meant to delay the enemy's forces and relieve our pressure? Anyway, they are all killing the rebels. Whichever one you kill is not a kill!"
Only when you save your life can you kill the enemy.
If there is no life left, then there is no meaning.
Captain Yang's face turned red and blue.
The fists were tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.
Zhai Huan knew that his hesitation problem had occurred again, so he secretly winked at his cousin. Zhai Le understood it and used his momentum to suppress the soldiers. These soldiers looked troubled, but high-level brave warriors were not so imposing.
Very resistant.
They will have the uncontrollable desire to surrender. If they are not strong-minded, they will simply obey. They will not be able to get rid of the influence until the courageous warrior takes back his momentum.
Seeing this, Captain Yang had no choice but to close his eyes and accept Zhai Huan's suggestion.
Perhaps due to good luck, the rebel teams we met along the way were all very small. We gained a lot along the way, and our sluggish momentum also recovered a lot. Until we met the group of soldiers called "recruiting soldiers" who were actually robbing homes and houses, Zhai Huan suddenly
Keep it in mind.
He is ready to play a big game!
