Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan initially broke out under the protection of more than a dozen servants. However, in the middle, Dong Yuan felt that there were too many people and the target was too big, making it difficult to break out, so he suggested that Zuo Liangyu and the servants separate.
Disperse and break out.
Although Zuo Liangyu was doubtful about this, he even doubted whether he would be betrayed by Dong Yuan. However, because the Chuang Army's pursuit was too fierce and it was impossible for so many people to run away, he had no choice but to adopt Dong Yuan's suggestion.
.
It has to be said that although Dong Yuan's military strategy planning was quite bad, his self-protection ideas were indeed highly executable. After Zuo Liangyu and his servants separated, Zhang Pizhu indeed changed his target and personally
The main target of the army cavalry was to pursue large groups of elite servants, but they actually let Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan go.
They ran all the way, fearing to be discovered by the intruders, and even abandoned their horses. Two of them, one wore the burqa of an ordinary officer and soldier, and the other only had the clothes of a civilian, without food or water.
He did not return to Xiangyang, but just escaped to the vicinity of Zaoyang. He was already so hungry and thirsty that he almost fainted.
Zuo Liangyu's throat hurt so much that he couldn't continue running. At this time, Dong Yuan looked into the distance and exclaimed:
"And there's a village!"
The territory of Zaoyang had been completely looted by the Zuo Army before. Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan were so lucky that they managed to stumble upon a village ruin. This village was also burned and looted by Zuo Town officers and soldiers, but only the bottom floor was
The vitality of the people is so tenacious that as long as the butcher's knife does not kill them all, the people can quickly live on this land again.
The villagers, who had suffered from the massacre by the Zuo Army, all looked at Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan in stunned silence. Everyone did not know the situation of the war in Suizhou, but suddenly saw two Zuo Town officers and soldiers entering the village, and they were shocked and shocked.
Surprised.
The clothes and armor of these two people are in pieces, and their faces and bodies are covered with blood and smoke. What is going on?
Seeing the timid, fearful and awe-filled expressions on the villagers' faces, Dong Yuan felt very courageous in his heart. He put a single knife he had picked up casually across the neck of a villager and scolded: "Hurry up and call your village manager.
People come here, otherwise we will kill all the people in the village!"
This village had just been massacred and burned by Zuo soldiers not long ago. The villagers were frightened and horrified when they heard this. Some young people hurriedly called out the elders and clan elders in the village ruins.
The leader of the old man seemed to be a prominent figure in the village. He clasped his fists at Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan and asked: "Two generals, is there any war going on around here? If there is a need, we will do our best to help.
.”
After Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan looked at each other, they shouted to the village elder: "Prepare meat, grain and rice for us. Are there any horses in the village? Pull them out for me. If there are no horses, pull out all the mules."
After all, Zuo Liangyu was a person with status, so he asked the village elder to find some food, but he didn't make it difficult. But Dong Yuan was different. After looking around fiercely, he kicked several strong men over.
The villagers ordered them to come over and lead their horses to do chores.
Dong Yuan also smiled ferociously at the clan elder and said: "Find us two girls, do you understand? I have suffered a day and should have a good rest."
Dong Yuan's request made Zuo Liangyu suddenly raise his eyebrows. It was not that he thought Dong Yuan's request was too much, but he was afraid that it would anger the villagers and there were only two of them. If the villagers were angered, how could they get any good results?
Unexpectedly, the village elder and the strong villagers did not dare to resist. They all obeyed and nodded repeatedly. The village elder also agreed and said that he would immediately find an eldest daughter to serve the two generals.
Zuo Liangyu had been a high-ranking official for a long time and found it difficult to understand this situation. Dong Yuan came over and explained to him:
"General, we are now down-and-out Pingyang dogs. We have to pretend to be like tigers in order to scare these people. Common people are cheap bones. The more you beat and scold them, the more obedient they will be. If we can be nice,
After a while, these villagers will feel that the Left Army has lost some battle, and they might tie up the general and me immediately."
"I see."
Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but admire Dong Yuan's way of thinking. You are the best.
After the two of them showed off their power in the village, they let the clan leader free up the largest house to live in. Soon, drinking water, fruits and vegetables, food and meat were all provided one by one, and Zuo Liangyu completely let go.
Heart comes.
The fearful villagers all gathered in the village elder's house. The village elder looked at the most fearful villager and said sadly: "Pang An, you have two daughters in your family, right? Now there are none left in the village.
What a young girl, only your two daughters can solve this disaster!"
Pang An raised his head and was stunned. He looked at the other villagers and saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly. He widened his eyes and shouted: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? My two daughters, one is talented.
Fourteen years old and one is only thirteen!"
The clan elder did not dare to look directly at Pang An, lowered his head and said: "That is the request of General Zuo Zhen, and I have no other way... Oh, just save everyone, haven't there been enough people dead in our village?
!”
After he said this, other villagers around him also began to persuade Pang An. Some said that they were relatives with him, some said how their family had helped Pang An in the past, and a tall villager couldn't help but said
:
"Pang An... your brother is in the Chuang Army, right? I think it's because your brother joined the Chuang Army that our village has been looted by officers and soldiers again and again. Your family is to blame for this!"
"You...you are so slanderous!"
Pang An pointed at the man and wanted to refute something, but he was illiterate and didn't understand any big principles. His speech was clumsy and he didn't know how to defend himself.
The clan elder followed up and said: "Yes, Pang An, if your brother hadn't joined the Chuang army and caused the bandits to change their farming laws and arrange a few more fields for our village, would we be so hated by the officers and soldiers? Oh... what a crime.
, you’d better quickly ask your two girls to serve the general... Those two girls are the ones I’ve seen since childhood... This, this, is something that can’t be helped."
"That's not what you said when we were in the field!"
Pang An looked at the surrounding villagers and could hardly believe it. When the Chuang Army governed Zaoyang, his younger brother was the first to join the Chuang Army and did well. The Zhuang envoy took care of the village a few more times. Why now?
Has it become a sin?
After the clan elder lamented for a while, seeing that Pang An refused to submit, he winked at the surrounding villagers. Everyone understood, and swarmed up and tied up Pang An.
"Pang An, Pang An, you don't want to help the villagers. You can't blame the villagers for using force. We are all close relatives. Who wants the girls to be ruined?"
The village elder shook his head and ordered other villagers to take the two daughters of the Pang family to serve Zuo Liangyu and Dong Yuan. Pang An was tied to the ground and struggled desperately, but was knocked down by several villagers casually.
Unable to move.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he heard the girl's cry in the distance. He wanted to shout something loudly, but his mouth was blocked by the villagers with straw. He struggled desperately and had no choice. He could only press his body against the ground, an inch away.
He moved inch by inch toward the outside of the house, but what effect could this have?
Pang An's gagged mouth made a choking sound as shrill as a crow, but there were no tears in his eyes, but only full of hatred.
"hiss"
Suddenly outside the village, there was the sound of horses braying, hoofbeats, honking, and the sound of weapons and armor, which suddenly drowned out the screams of the two girls. The villagers felt anxious in their hearts.
I panicked, "Damn it, I've just served two generals, why is there another one here?"
What kind of misfortune has happened to our village? I don’t know whose daughter or wife I should look for to deal with it now!
