Chapter 240: Soldiers Approaching the City (2)
It's only been half an hour outside, how did you come up with such a formation?
Lu Li put down the curtain and backed out.
At the same time, suppress all kinds of chaotic thoughts, and keep reminding yourself: Mount Tai collapses in front, but the color does not change;
Next, he had to deal with the protagonist who didn't know what he was thinking, and also had to prepare for the upcoming battle, so he had no time to be distracted.
"Brother Meng Ming, didn't you go to the city to inspect, why did you come back so early?"
At this time, a hearty voice came from behind, and a man in fish scale armor came over.
"Song Yuhou."
Lu Li frowned, first turned around and cupped his hands towards the person who came, and then sighed, "The people in the city are so hard, I can't bear to look at them."
"Well, since the year before last, the year's achievements have not been good. The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand. The people have been silently enduring it."
Song Xian was a middle-aged guy from the frontier, half a head shorter than Lu Li, but his muscles were as strong as a rock. I saw him walking quickly, changed his previous friendly greeting, and said angrily:
"The people's livelihood is so difficult, but the Xiongnu and Xiutu are gangsters, and they plundered the border together. They are not sons of men!"
Lu Li quite agrees with this, and feels less resentment in his heart——
He is not a person without a stomach, but if the vanguard position that he dreamed of and is at his fingertips is gone, even if he has nothing to do with the other party, he will feel a little grudge.
"Blood debts are paid in blood. In the future, I will definitely kill this group of inhumane beasts."
For some reason, when thinking of the old man who was kneeling and begging him, Lu Li always felt a surge of blood welling up in his heart.
More than a dozen people, most of them died, and all the female relatives were arrested.
Who is it?
Male!
The Xiongnu knew the truth of cutting weeds and roots, no matter how old or young, as long as they were males, they would definitely kill them all.
And if the female relatives are taken away, so what will happen.
Serving as a slave?
Lu Li didn't dare to think about it, it was too humiliating!
But Song Xian has a straightforward personality. Xu is used to this kind of thing. He felt less sad and more calm. He patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said in relief:
"When the time comes, you and my brother will have a good time and see whose weapon rolls first, how about it?"
"Don't dare to refuse."
After finishing speaking, Lu Li took a long breath, trying to calm down his once again chaotic mood, and added: "The one-month salary will be used as the lottery, and the loser will invite all brothers to drink."
"As it should be."
Song Xian licked his lips, "If it weren't for the strict military law, drinking alcohol is prohibited in the camp, I must treat my brother to a good drink."
After saying that, he straightened his armor and dragged Lu Li into the camp of the Chinese army.
in the account.
Don't drive Ding Yuan still kneeling and sitting in the most conspicuous position, with an extremely serious expression.
The elder brother Zhang Liao stood aside, although he didn't speak, he had a certain bearing.
And below, sat five elderly people with wrinkled faces. In order not to let them get tired, the lord specially ordered the servants to bring over a few cushions. They didn't need to sit on their knees, but just sat cross-legged, just like the Bodhisattvas in Buddhist temples. comfortable.
Sensing Lu Li's doubts, Song Xian, who was standing in the corner with him, whispered, "These should be the respected elders in Dingxiang City."
[Han law: Over a hundred years old can be granted a king's stick, and those who hold the stick are treated the same as those who hold festivals. Compared with six hundred stone officials, they do not tend to enter official temples, but they can walk on the road to show their respect for the elderly]
After Song Xian's explanation, Lu Li nodded, and looked forward again. To be precise, it should be the crutches in the hands of the five elders. This thing is nine feet long, and the flying general Lu Bu I saw the day before yesterday Not more than eight feet tall.
Isn't it tiring to hold this thing?
Of course, Lu Li also said in his heart that he didn't mean any disrespect, this long crutch is the king's stick, and it is only given to those who are young and virtuous.
There are more than 10,000 people in a county, and there are at least 2,000 elders. Only the five elders in front of me have become village elders recognized by the court, so they should not be underestimated.
"Don't lead Feng Di personally, go to the frontier to fight, and this old man will take care of the people in Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Yanmen..."
At this time, the five old men stood up with the support of the county's civil servants. At the same time, they took the wine bottles handed over by others and walked up tremblingly.
Seeing this, the protagonist Ding Yuan didn't care about his manners, he stood up hastily, took the wine with his bow, and said:
"How dare you trouble the elder like this!"
"When I heard that the general led the king's division, the people were all rejoicing. Since ten days ago, the Hu people invaded the border, and our county suffered from the torment. The surrounding counties and counties are even more empty. Most of the people died, and the dead were lying on the bed."
At this time, a sharp-talking scribe took a step forward. From his appearance and conversation, Lu Li felt that this person should be the county magistrate. He poured a glass of wine and raised his tone:
"Now, the general Wang Shi is looking forward to it, and the common people will be saved! This bottle of wine will wash away the dust for the general. I hope the general will not refuse."
Maybe it is because of this kind of thing often, Ding Yuan nodded reservedly, and said loudly:
"On this trip, my general will lead 20,000 elite soldiers first, and my son will lead the wolf riders first, and then he will kill thieves for the country and quell chaos for the people!"
When he finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle with both hands and drank it all. Immediately after, he wiped away the wine stains left on the corners of his mouth and beard, and said impassionedly: "Tomorrow, the army will set out and rush for seven hundred miles to get rid of this evil thief for the elders of Bingzhou." !"
After standing in the corner and watching for so long, Lu Li finally understood that this was clearly a show and gaining fame!
Flying general Lu Bu leads the wolf and rides after him?
If he hadn't heard the lord's tactical arrangement with his own ears, Lu Li would have believed it. The wolf riders had clearly gone to the south to help guard Taiyuan. Not only that, but this group of elites had also been ordered to die:
Stand firm and stand firm, waiting for help.
Although the Yellow Turban Army should not be underestimated, can it beat the wolf cavalry that can rule the world?
With the addition of a living demon god Lu Bu, and a group of extremely fierce warriors, even if the Xianbei sent troops to help, it would not be enough to fight!
In addition, five village elders, Dingxiang County officials, and dozens of specially selected civilians ate jugs of wine, saying that they came to comfort the army and thank the soldiers for their hard work. However, what is the use of this thing? It was to show his attitude and give the general a face boost.
Poor Inspector Zhang Yi, he is still trapped in Yunzhong County at this time, and his life and death are unknown.
Lu Li didn't know that at this moment, he was the only person in the army who could think of the governor.
"kill!"
"The leader has an order. Those who capture Zhang Yi alive will be rewarded with two hundred dingkou and ten Han servants. Those who cut off Zhang Yi's head will be rewarded with one hundred dingkou and twenty catties of gold."
When Ding Yuan met with the elders, the sound of shouting and killing lingered in the sky above Yunzhong City for a long time.
For the Huns, Dingkou means everything, more important than money and women.
You know, some small tribes on the grassland don't have a hundred mouths!
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
For a while, the sound of horseshoes became more and more urgent, and the cavalry of the Huns seemed to be crazy, shouting back and forth, searching for the whereabouts of the governor Zhang Yi.
