"General, my father is not a bad person!" Zhang Ji pressed his hands on the ground to support himself from falling down immediately. Turning his head, he shouted to his father: "Let's go! Let's go!", tears welling up in his eyes.
He thought about how to make his father live comfortably for the rest of his life after making money. He thought about how to make his father proud in front of official officials after he was promoted. In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to sleep on sand and snow outside the Great Wall.
In order to realize this dream, he did not hesitate to give up his identity as a shopkeeper and work as a clerk managing the warehouse under Li Xu. But now, all dreams are meaningless. He met his father again, who was once a submissive businessman.
Now he is famous all over the world as a villain.
"My father is not a bad person!" He murmured to himself, his hands softened, and his whole body fell into dust.
The north wind mixed with snow particles, hitting the surface of the armor with a clanging sound. Those armors were made of rawhide, but at this moment they were heavier than iron. It was just when the warmth returned to cold, some of the snow particles had melted in mid-air, and they were still there.
Some parts were cold and sticky. The two fell alternately on the bodies of people and livestock, and in the blink of an eye they were covered with a thick layer of frost.
This kind of armor made of ice looks very comfortable from a distance, especially when a large group of people are walking forward, like a long silver-black steel dragon rolling between the sky and the earth. But the people wrapped under the ice armor feel extremely sad.
The snow melted by the body temperature penetrates into the inner layer of clothes along the neck, chest, armor gaps and everywhere possible, and penetrates deep into the bone marrow of the person. It is so cold that the person's soul is about to come out of its shell. But you can't reach out yet.
Wipe it, because the ice on the arms and forearms is the easiest to fall off. If you fail to wipe the water off the neck, a whole piece of ice will slide in against the belly or back, making it impossible to hold it in any longer.
The screams instantly passed through the numb body and jumped into the gray sky.
"Ah - grandma, she's freezing to death!"
"Ah, who is so wicked? My neck, my neck!" Sounds like ghosts crying and wolf howling kept coming from behind, and Zhang Jinsheng's face turned darker than the dark clouds in the sky. "Shut the hell up. Who else will say that?"
Yell, I will strip him naked and throw him into the ice cave!" He opened his eyes and yelled angrily, scaring all the minions into silence. "Let me run, you will feel warm when you run. Wait until we take him down.
Now that I’m in Nangong, I’ll give each of you a big house and two women, so you can warm yourself up!”
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!" The sluggish soldiers regained some energy in an instant, shouting at the white smoke. The warm house and the soft woman made everyone salivate just thinking about it. They were already hiding in a lake on the mainland.
It's winter, and the last time I touched a woman was when I broke into Qinghe County last year. Unfortunately, everyone couldn't stay too long that time. Qinghe County Sheriff Yang Shanhui quickly brought back reinforcements from the old thief Yang Yichen, and blocked everyone in just now.
He was given a beating under the warm quilt... Fortunately, everyone was familiar with the terrain and retreated to Dalu Ze overnight. Otherwise, his head might have been hung on the wall of Qinghe City, and rows of crows in the sky would peck at it.
It is not easy to be a thief these days. The "two-legged sheep" in the villages near Daluze that are easy to rob have long since disappeared. Some larger counties have steep walls. Because Zhang Da's "fame" is too great, many people are isolated in the
When the forts outside the county saw the banner with the word "Zhang", they would rather set fire to all the grain and grass supplies before all the men and women in the fort died in battle, rather than open the gates of the fort to accept King Zhang's "inspection". However, they opened
The result of breaking through the village gate was similar. Before King Zhang left, he would definitely kill all the people who could not work for him and burn all the remaining supplies.
With nothing to grab in Xiangguo County, Zhang Jinsheng had to turn his attention to Xindu County in the north. It was a cold spring this year, and many farmers suffered disasters. If they didn't take advantage of the lean period to get some military rations,
I'm afraid that when the famine comes, everyone will have nothing to eat except human flesh. Therefore, even though he heard that an army had arrived in Boling County three hundred miles away at the beginning of the year, King Zhang still decided to lead his team to the north.
Everyone takes a risk. As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the greater the reward. Moreover, the imperial army has just arrived, and it is not easy to find out the situation in the surrounding counties. According to Zhang Jin’s understanding of the surrounding situation
Understand, just the local rich people in Boling and Hengshan counties are enough to give the new dog officer a headache for a while. Those rich people all have hands and eyes, and they are arrogant. Without their support, the officers and soldiers in Boling will
It is difficult to move around everywhere.
The official roads that have been in disrepair are very slippery. If you are not careful, you can fall down. Some of the hungry people who died on the roadside last year have experienced a winter, and their bodies have been almost eaten by wild dogs and vultures. Their white bones have grown from the mud.
It showed through and pointed out the road to the underworld for the gangsters.
The soldier who fell next to the corpse was so frightened that his eyes turned green, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. His companions quickly ran past the corpse, turning a blind eye to the tragic scenes on both sides of the road.
"Follow up, keep up, stop worshiping, the dead man is not your uncle!" A small leader kicked the buttocks of the minions who were saluting the dead man, and shouted.
"The dead are the most important. We worship before the ghosts come to bring us misfortune!" The kicked soldier got up and ran while explaining to his superior in a flattering manner.
"Bird, we have already eaten human flesh, why are we afraid of a skeleton?" The little leader's saliva spurted out, and when it fell on the ice armor, it was immediately frozen into beads. "Don't worry, ghosts are also afraid of evil people. Our group of people,
Even if I go to the underworld, no one would dare to provoke me. As long as I hold the knife in my hand, we are the only ones killing people, and nothing can harm us!"
"The general is absolutely right, the general is absolutely right!" The young man did not dare to contradict his superior and agreed repeatedly. At the same time, he tightly grasped the handle of the knife with his frozen fingers in order to draw some strength from it.
"But I heard that Boss Dou greeted our king last year and said that Nangong City is under his protection!" Another more senior soldier could not understand the morale-boosting words of the "General" and said worriedly
talk.
"Bird!" The little boss is very interested in a certain part of the human body, and almost every sentence starts with this, "Dou Jiande is not our second father, why should we listen to his words. Besides, no matter how awesome his boss Dou is, we are not allowed to listen to him.
Gao Shida's. Gao Shida doesn't dare to point fingers at our king, why should he, Dou Jiande, meddle in our business?"
"That's true!" The old man didn't agree with the little boss's words, but he had to agree.
"The surnamed Dou extended his claws too long, and sooner or later he will be chopped off by our king!" The little boss stretched out his hand and made a false chop in the air to enhance his reputation.
Dou Jiande and Gao Shida are another major force active in Hebei, with their activities ranging from Zhuojun to Pingyuan. Different from the acting styles of Zhang Jincheng, Wei Daoer and others, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida prefer to build their own
They became the image of thieves. After they captured the city, they did not rob the people. Instead, they opened the treasury and gave some of the silks and rice grains to the homeless. For some cities and villages that were relatively close to their hometown of Gaojibo, they
Preservation fees are collected regularly twice a year, and the amount is roughly the same as the taxes levied by the government. If the other party is willing to pay on time, Dou and Gao will declare to other green forest heroes that this city is under their protection and no one is allowed to disturb it again.
Because they were both hanging out on the green forest road, Zhang Jinsheng usually gave Dou Jiande more face and would not enter his sphere of influence to rob. But it was different now. Dou Jiande and Gao Shida were newly defeated at the hands of Huben Zhonglang General Wang Bian.
, the ability to protect oneself seems to be gone, so how can one still be qualified to provide "protection" to others?
The group of thieves stopped making noise and continued on their way. This was a long-planned operation. Although the weather was worse, it also gave the army a lot of chances of winning. After more than two years of thieves coming and going, the people on both sides of the official road
Most of the villages are no longer inhabited. And those forts that have been built to defend themselves will not send tenants out to clear the land in this kind of ghost weather. Therefore, Zhang Jincheng can basically be sure that these brothers under his command can be ignorant of ghosts.
Unconsciously, he threw himself at the foot of Nangong City. As long as the city gate was opened before the reinforcements from neighboring counties arrived, clothes, food, gold, silver, soft goods, etc., all kinds of urgently needed supplies could be replenished.
They meandered northward along the official road, not daring to stop for a moment. People in the team kept falling down. If they had the strength to get up, the crowd would give them a burst of laughter. If the person who fell unfortunately broke his bones,
Or they are so cold that they have no strength, and the minions will not help. Everyone has today and no tomorrow, and they will die sooner or later. Moreover, the injured cannot contribute when attacking the city, and they will waste money after the city is broken.
A piece of money and food.
"Actually, I think Boss Dou's method is better. At least you don't have to run like this in the cold weather!" Someone was too tired from running and muttered with his mouth full of foam.
"Bird, that's because he was strong enough at the beginning. Several counties had to send him money and food. He thought he could be like the government, and which common people wouldn't regard him as a thief? No matter how obedient he is, as soon as the officers and soldiers come, they will immediately
Fall out with him!"
"That's true!" the commentator agreed, and in the blink of an eye there was no voice again. A thief is a thief, whether he is a righteous thief or an evil thief. In the eyes of the people, they cannot replace the government. This time Dou Jiande and Gao Shida competed
So when Wang Bian fell into his hands, wasn't it because he wasn't ruthless enough to scare those two-legged sheep? The government was fighting in front, and the strong men from the forts were cheering for the officers and soldiers, sending food and water, even if the Wagang army encountered them
This situation may not be possible!
"Bird, it's nothing. Dou Jiande's idea is just wishful thinking!" The little boss pulled out his saber and danced a few swords in the wind and snow. "These days, you are either killed or killed. There is no other way, who can
Don’t cry out for injustice even if you die!”
If you don't want to be killed, you have to kill people. He went on for a long time, and his last sentence inspired the people below the most. Kill the two-legged sheep, kill the officers and soldiers, and kill other minions of different ranks. King Zhang's village and territory,
Isn’t that how they were killed?
"Kill, fight into Nangong City, and get whatever you want!" Several soldiers on horseback ran back from the front of the team and encouraged them loudly.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The frost-covered knives, shovels, and wooden sticks were lifted up one after another, forming a moving jungle in the wind and snow. Under the jungle, pairs of red eyes were full of joy.
