At this time, Gao Yuanfeng and Xiang's mother, with Liu Qisi, were galloping on the official road of Yanhu County.

The battle of Chen Zhou's coalition army to attack Tianfeng is imminent, but Gao Yuanfeng always believes that Chen Guo has ulterior motives, and the battle of Chen Zhou may break out at any time.

Once Chen and Zhou go to war, or even Chen and Tianfeng jointly attack Zhou, then the battlefield can only be in two directions, one is the position of the current Zhou army's southward advance, Yanhu County at the junction of the original Qi, Chen, and Tianfeng, and the other is Haiyang County in the Bohai Sea, the hometown of Gao Yuanfeng. Pyeongchang County should not be the primary target because of the Yingchou Mountain, which continues from Yanhu County in the south, and the roads are dangerous, which is not conducive to the movement of the army.

The State of Qi originally had a county in the southeast of Yingchou Mountain, and the last time Zhou Chen partnered to destroy Qi, it was occupied by the State of Chen.

Gao Yuanfeng made a detour to Yanhu County, just to see the terrain in person, and by the way, he went into the mountain to make contact with Yang Kai. Once Zhou Chen went to war, Gao Yuanfeng hoped to use Yang Kai's troops to attack Chen's grain road. Yang Kai and Zhou Jun were mortal enemies, let him let go of his hatred and help Zhou Jun, Gao Yuanfeng was worried that he would not be able to turn around.

Along the way, there was chaos everywhere. The war was not fought because of the war, but because of the tyrannical conquest. There are already a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and now they have to impose a 'frontier tax'. It was magnificently declared that in order to make the Zhou state stronger, the people had the responsibility to contribute to the expansion of the territory of the Zhou king.

According to the doctrine of 'the weak people and the strong country', the government's instructions were to leave only the money and food that could survive for the people, and collect all the rest to meet the military needs. Then encourage the people to join the army or go to neighboring countries to plunder themselves, which is to cultivate the so-called wolf nature of the people.

The big figures of the Dharma-religion advocate this very much, believing that if the people are weak, the people will be powerless to rebel, and the country will be safe. Second, if the people are like hungry wolves, then when they expand outward, they will swarm out to assist the officials and troops in conquering other countries, so that the army will be strong.

Gao Yuanfeng has long questioned this doctrine, of course, he has only discussed it with Zhou Feiyan, Gao Cheng and other people close to him. The teachings of the Fa are in the Yan Domain, which is the rule of heaven, and who dares to discuss it when waiting for idlers.

Along the way, Gao Yuanfeng couldn't see the wolf nature of the people to the outside world, only the diffuse sadness and the eyes that concealed hatred.

Gao Yuanfeng and Xiang Ma and others did not empathize with the sigh, the world has always been like this, Gao Yuanfeng does not have that noble congenital worry and worry consciousness. However, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, because the situation in Zhoudi is much better than that of Qidi.

Taxes were also increased in the surrounding land, but not so much that the cattle, mules, donkeys, and horses that were used to cultivate the land were also forcibly collected. There is no poultry or livestock such as chickens and sheep raised by farmers. It's like a tax, it's a complete robbery.

At the front of the road, a group of soldiers were encountered, driving the 'expropriated' livestock, and the donkey carts piled up with many grain bags and poultry tied together, making a lot of noise, and pouring out of the villages on the side of the road and squeezing onto the official road. There were also many soldiers behind, wielding leather whips to drive away the mourning people.

Looking at the costumes, this is not an ordinary tax collector, but a regular soldier.

Gao Yuanfeng frowned, the military rations were allocated and allocated by the government in a unified manner, so how could the army personally dispatch to collect it? I don't know if it was the soldiers of the two armies of Zhengdong and Zhendong, or the soldiers who were about to be assigned to Lu Tai. During this time, the two armies of Zhendong and Zhengdong gradually gathered here. These people did not resist the banner, so Gao Yuanfeng could not be recognized.

Even though many people were whipped to the point that their heads were bleeding, they still held on to the soldiers or oxen and wagons, and begged bitterly. An old man in ragged clothes cried and begged, "Official, please leave a way for the little people to live." Adults can also go and eat grass roots and bark, how can my little grandson who has just been weaned have no food, how can he survive. ”

Gao Yuanfeng didn't want to care, because he shouldn't be in charge, and he couldn't manage it, there were too many such things along the way. But when he heard the old man begging the soldier to leave a little ration for his grandson, even if he had been torn apart by the soldier, he couldn't bear it, so he lifted his horse forward and shouted, "Stop." ”

The soldier who was entangled with the people looked up, saw the high wind in civilian clothes, and shouted: "Yo, where did this stunned young man come from, dare to take care of your military master's affairs." Come, brothers, here are six big horses, levied for me. ”

Gao Yuanfeng traveled all the way and did not wear official uniforms, these soldiers thought that he was also the young master of a wealthy family or an official gentry in the locality, and he traveled with a few servants. They belong to outsiders and do not buy the local gentry at all.

Gao Yuanfeng's face turned cold, "Which army are you from? Who asked you to collect grain personally? Even if you collect grain, you don't have to be so ruthless." These people are the people of the Great Zhou, not enemies. ”

The team led by him grinned, "Yo, the toad swallows the sky, and his tone is not small, and he dares to teach the uncle a lesson." Come on, take it for me. I suspect they're Tianfeng's work. ”

Gao Yuanfeng's six-man horsemen were worth more than the people's food, and the soldiers threw down the sundries in their hands with bright eyes, and rushed towards Gao Yuanfeng excitedly.

Gao Yuanfeng was furious, "If you commit the following crimes, you should be damned." With a wave of the whip, one of the soldiers who had rushed to the front was swept up and thrown out. He didn't stop for a moment, forgetting that he was already Superman, and the soldier immediately settled the account.

The team was yelling, "Bold. Dare to do it, boy, you're done, you're completely finished. Beat the officers and soldiers, obstruct military affairs, and wait for the nine clans to be wiped out. ”

A small soldier next to him suddenly said in horror to the team that was still arrogant: "Huang Huang Huang is the team, Zhang Zhangliu was beaten to death by him." ”

"Huh?" the team was taken aback, "Dead guys, the guy, cut this kid." ”

They were used to this group of soldiers, and by this time they didn't realize that they had encountered a killing god. Gao Yuanfeng didn't have a good impression of Zhou Guo's soldiers, anyway, they made the next mistake first and drew a knife to come out, and if they killed, they would be killed, Gao Yuanfeng was not afraid that anyone would come to him to reason.

Liu Qisi understood Gao Yuanfeng's expression, and without waiting for Gao Yuanfeng to make a move, they rode up, chopped melons and vegetables, and killed most of the more than a dozen soldiers in an instant, including the team leader.

The last few soldiers were so frightened that they ran away. A few people who didn't have time to run were stunned on the spot and stunned. There are also those who are a little more sober, drop their knives and guns, kneel on the ground, and cry for mercy.

Liu Qi or four wanted to kill again, but Gao Yuanfeng stopped at the right time, "Wait." Leave a few and ask them what part of the centaurs they are. ”

Xiang's mother said: "Feng'er, since you killed it, it's better to kill it altogether." Otherwise, you are not afraid, the people of that village will die unjustly. ”

Gao Yuanfeng was puzzled, "What's the matter with the people?"

Xiang's mother said: "What do you think? At that time, your grandmother lived in seclusion in Fengxi Village, and what happened to Guan Qifeng? There is not so much truth to talk about in this world. No matter which army it is, if their people die here, those people can't get out of it. ”

Gao Yuanfeng was stabbed in pain, "Alas, then let's kill them all." Seventh Uncle, first ask them which one they are, why they are so rampant. ”

"Howler. "Liu Qisi is not a soft-hearted lord, which one is not murderous.

Where can the soldiers who fled in the desert run past Superman. After a while, Liu Qi and the others killed all the soldiers, and turned their horses back to report to Gao Yuanfeng, "It's from the Zhendong Army." The requisition of grain was an order from their new battalion general. By the way, their battalion general seems to have a lot of background, his name is Li Wei, and he is said to be the nephew of Li Zhuo, a doctor in the Xia Guanfu. ”

Gao Yuanfeng didn't have much sense of the backstage of the children of the powerful, he had never been in contact with the children of the powerful before. Deng Wei, Wen Quan, and others, who had only recently started to get in touch, did not dare to be arrogant in front of him. After entering Changshan, he himself became a top gentleman, so he didn't understand the so-called sons of the powerful at all. muttered: "Is the official of the doctor very big?"

After all, Xiang's mother has rich social experience, and said with a smile: "No wonder it is so rampant, it turns out that the children of the powerful are concentrated in the Four Towns Army." To you, it's not big, it's a little lower than your rank, but to the people and low-level soldiers, it's a big official. ”

Gao Yuanfeng laughed, "My official position is also so high?" He has not officially exercised his power, and he has not been a high-ranking official at all.

Xiang's mother said, "Of course. The county guard, one party is a big man. ”

The few of them looked relaxed and laughed, but the people were panicked one by one, and their faces were colorless.

Gao Yuanfeng looked at it, "Uncle, you can take all the food back." We still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

The people did not hear it, and stood still, neither weeping nor moving, trembling. The death of so many soldiers, although it was not their doing, but the catastrophe was predictable.

Xiang's mother shouted to Gao Yuanfeng, "As soon as we leave, these people will die." ”

Gao Yuanfeng realized that he was negligent, stopped, and looked back and forth, "It seems that I have to take this responsibility, right?" It's okay, this is the official way, there are many people coming and going, so we will wait. ”

Xiang's mother jumped off the horse and picked up the old man who was lying on the ground, "Uncle, if you want to get out of the matter, hurry up and call someone to take back these poultry, livestock and grain, as if nothing had happened and you don't know anything." We will wait for the people who come to the government, and you will not be implicated. ”

The old man woke up like a dream, kowtowed again and again, and then beckoned to the villagers quickly, and hurriedly took back all the things that had been forcibly expropriated back to the village. After a while, some more people were called out, carefully cleaning or covering up the traces. He walked up to Gao Yuanfeng again and kowtowed, Xie Gao Yuanfeng saved the life of his grandson, and Xie Gao Yuanfeng saved the lives of a villager.

And so on and so forth, a thousand thanks, vowing to set up an immortal tablet for the high wind, and worship every day. I just heard that Gao Yuanfeng is actually the duty of the county guard, and I pray that Gao Yuanfeng can come to Yanhu Lake one day to be the county guard, and he will be able to protect the safety of the people of this county.

Gao Yuanfeng was embarrassed to be thanked, he was also Zhou Jun. My heart was touched, and there was a vague idea in my heart, but it was not very clear, anyway, I felt that I had done the right thing today.

In fact, it was the old man's word of 'protecting the safety of the people of a county' that touched his concept of protection. I vaguely feel that when I can, can I protect more, should I protect more?

Sit down and ride on the road under your feet, and the three views of the high wind are also on the road. This is how people tend to mature and stereotype step by step.

finally sent the old man away. Gao Yuanfeng and they didn't wait long, and there were soldiers coming and going on the official road, because this time was the peak period for the two armies to assemble here.

Killing the soldiers of the Zhendong Army is a big deal. The middle- and lower-level generals were suspicious of Gao Yuanfeng's identity, and they didn't dare to do anything, so what if it was true?

Gao Yuanfeng couldn't bear to wait here, and continued his journey with his own self-confidence. The Zhendong Army and some soldiers of the Eastern Army did not dare to stay, but they did not let Gao Yuanfeng disappear, so they kept following behind, waiting for the reaction of their superiors.

The first to arrive was Li Wei, whose temporary station was the closest to here. With a large group of cavalry, they swarmed and surrounded Gao Yuanfeng, and they wanted to take Gao Yuanfeng to the case.

Originally, in order to deter Chen Guo, the various units of the Zhenxi Army entered Qi with great fanfare, and it had already spread all over the world. As a result, the rotation of the county guards was also transmitted to the eastern departments of Zhengdong Town. However, Li Wei's rank is a little lower, and it is not enough to report the level. He was not even qualified to participate in the martial arts test, that is, he took the opportunity of this army expansion to have a relationship with his uncle Li Zhuo to be promoted to battalion general.

He didn't believe that the young man in front of him, who was younger than him, was actually a big man, and he was still rampant, so he directly ordered his subordinates, "Take it for Lao Tzu, whether you live or die." The county guard of the bird. If he is the county guard, Lao Tzu will be the head of the march. ”

The cavalry under Li Wei started with a bang.
