Chapter 165: Officers and soldiers are more ruthless than anti-thieves

The two bigwigs are desperately encircling and suppressing the three giants, and the civil officials and military generals of Xiangyang Mansion are not idle, and they begin to pinch the soft persimmons.

After more than ten days of preparation, Luo Guan, the commander of Xiangyang Wei, led the team, combined with tens of thousands of guards from all over the country, together with thousands of large families in Xiangyang and Nanzhang, rushed to Heishi Town, wanting to eliminate the anti-thief nest in Heishan Village in one fell swoop.

The civil and military officials in Xiangyang did not deliberately publicize this operation.

Completely fighting, when the time comes, capture the Black Mountain Village, then this is the lair of the anti-thief Xiaohua Wang, and when he can't say it, he will get a lot of his brothers, wives and concubines out and take them to Xiangyang to cut off their heads.

But if there is an accident, then the Black Mountain Village is just an ordinary bandit den, anyway, they will never believe that Xiaohua Wang started here.

Because of this, for most of the past six months, Xiangyang's civil and military officials and gentry landlords have chosen to ignore the Black Mountain Village.

The army pressed the border, which made the black mountain village, which had no generals in the village, inevitably a little flustered, but there were several examples of Qin Yu's battles, so he withdrew to the cottage as soon as possible and prepared to defend it.

Although there are now almost five or six thousand people in the cottages, a large area of open space has been opened up in the back mountain, and thousands of houses are densely packed with houses.

In addition, the food materials that were hoarded before and moved from Baokang, and Mrs. Li has secretly purchased a lot in the past six months, so the food materials in the village are very abundant, enough to eat for a year or two.

So although everyone was a little flustered, they did not reach the point of being at a loss, under the arrangement of Mrs. Li and the ladies, men, women and children went into battle together, and they were busy in full swing.

On the contrary, there were a thousand teenagers, all of whom were gearing up, eager for the officers and soldiers to arrive immediately.

However, after the officers and soldiers arrived in Blackstone Town, they stopped, and a team of officers and soldiers rushed into the villages and villages, robbed all the valuable things, dragged the women away, and those who dared to resist were all stabbed.

"Official, we are all good citizens!"

"Good people? Old thing, you have hidden so much food in your house, if you don't secretly collude with the thieves, how can they not come to rob it? And your delicate daughter-in-law, Lao Tzu saw that she was a thief, take it away, wait for Lao Tzu to interrogate herself! ”

A general kicked the begging old man to the ground.

And more than a dozen soldiers rushed up to carry away his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, even a forty or fifty-year-old mother-in-law, like pigs.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with laughter and mournful shouts.

The old man and his two sons tried to rush up to stop them, but they were cut down in a pool of blood, and they died blindly.

This scene was staged in almost the entire town of Blackstone, which made the villagers who were gloating at the beginning and preparing to watch the anti-thieves show were stunned.

In just three days, the big town with thousands of people in the past has really become a ghost town.

All the women, as young as thirteen or fourteen years old, as old as forty or fifty years old, and the slightest bit of possiveness, were almost all taken to the barracks outside the town to be interrogated by officers and soldiers like wolves.

Thousands of people were killed, and all the food they had harvested and dried was piled up in the town and into the pockets of military attachΓ©s and local gentry.

The reason why the officers and soldiers were so unscrupulous and abused with the help of the local gentry was that all the civilian officials acquiesced and could not get out of it.

"Madam, the old man Hou of Houjia Village, led dozens of villagers to kneel at the gate of the village and beg to see Madame."

"Hey! Let them in, settle down, and I'll be gone." ”

Xiao Xinru sighed and waved her hand, this is already the tenth village to come and beg her to send troops to save her family.

She didn't expect these officers and soldiers to be so frenzied, and they were even more murderous than the eight kings.

In advance, she sent people to inform the people of each village to take refuge in the mountains, and who would have thought that except for a few people, everyone else would turn a deaf ear.

Now even if you want to go to the rescue, you are powerless.

"Madam, according to me, they should be left to fend for themselves, taking them in is a waste of food, and one by one they are still shouting that we should go down the mountain to save their relatives, I'm afraid it's not hell!"

"Yes, who told them that they didn't join us at the beginning, and even wanted us to buy food with silver, why don't you ask the officers and soldiers to buy silver now? Ha ha! ”

"Yes, yes, haha..."

"You... You can still laugh? How could such a thought come to mind? How do I teach you on weekdays, do you all go in with your left ear and out with your right? ”

Xiao Xinru saw that not only did they not have the slightest sympathy, but gloated one by one, and suddenly trembled with anger.

Qin Shuang, Qin Wen and Qin Feng, it was the first time they saw her lose such a big temper, they were all startled, stopped laughing, and lowered their heads in unison.

"In the future, I won't teach you anymore, so I don't have disciples like you."

Mrs. Li said in a stern tone, her face was full of disappointment, and even a little sad, feeling that her hard work in the past half a year had been in vain.

This can't blame her for not teaching well, as the so-called learning is difficult to learn well, it is easy to learn bad, and other teenagers can forget it, but the three of them have long been deeply influenced by King Qin, even if Xiao Xinru personally teaches every day, they still can't change their view of right and wrong.

As for what kind of gentleman's style, except for Qin Wen, Qin Feng and Qin Shuang didn't see the slightest shadow.

"Madam, don't be angry, we know it's wrong."

"Yes, ma'am, we really know that we are wrong."

"We don't dare to laugh anymore."

When the three of them saw Mrs. Li's disappointed expression and said this, they all quickly knelt on the ground to admit their mistakes, and finally cried out in a hurry.

The three of them are all orphans, so they have long regarded Xiao Xinru as a teacher or even a godmother in their hearts.

"Get up, hey! I also don't want you to become a humble gentleman with benevolence and righteousness in the future, I just hope that you don't completely annihilate your human nature. ”

After all, Mrs. Li was still softened by their crying heart, and she was taught bitterly.

Obviously, in his heart, he has already regarded the three of them as proud disciples, hoping that they will be able to enter the prime minister in the future and assist the son.

"Disciple must remember Madame's teachings!"

The three of them all breathed a heavy sigh of relief, hurriedly got up and nodded straight, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts that the leader had great goodness in his heart, why didn't they see it at all before?

Mrs. Li also knew that the three of them were too deeply poisoned by Qin Yu's tea, and they could not change it in a short time, and seeing that the three of them had a good attitude, their anger also disappeared a lot.

The tone softened again: "Qin Wen, how many villagers from each village have defected to our cottage in the past three days?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, there are more than 3,100 of them, half of them are old and weak children, and the total number of women is only more than 200." Qin Wen hurriedly replied.

"There are so many more people at once, if the official army is besieged for a long time, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome!" Xiao Xinru frowned slightly, naturally understanding where those women went.

"Just..."

Qin Shuanggang wanted to say, then drive those old and weak away, but remembered what happened just now, and stubbornly held back.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Madam, there are still a lot of weapons in the cottage, those people must hate those officers and soldiers now, and they should be enough to deal with the attack of the officers and soldiers with their help in defense, so it is better for me to lead the troops to hide in the mountains overnight, and after the officers and soldiers come to attack the mountain, I will attack Blackstone Town again, rescue those women first, and then catch them off guard from behind." ”

"Well, it's good to be so good, but there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, will we have too few people?"

When Mrs. Li saw that his first thought was to rescue those women, her face couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation.

"Madame, don't worry, the leader said that there are not many soldiers, no matter how many soldiers there are in those guards, I have a thousand musketeers, which is enough to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."

Qin Shuang's chest was thumping.

"Madam, Qin Shuang's head is too stupid to do this kind of delicate work, so let him stay on the mountain to defend, and I will lead the troops down the mountain!"

As soon as Qin Feng saw that Qin Shuang, this kid, was in the limelight and was affirmed by his wife, he suddenly felt a little jealous in his heart, and hurried to say.

"Qin Feng, do you still want to be shameless? Don't look at the battles you fought before, and dare to say that I'm stupid? ”

"What, you're still not convinced? That time, I only brought more than 100 brothers with bamboo guns, and I rescued my wife from the hands of Wu Lao'er, can you do it? ”

"Can you name anything else?"

Qin Shuang saw that he was selling this matter in front of his wife at every turn, and he also hated it.

"Okay, okay, you two don't fight, let's go together!"

Mrs. Li was also amused when she saw them arguing like children, so she quickly waved her hand.

Qin Feng is flexible and has a lot of ghost ideas, while Qin Shuang is more stable, and the two can just complement each other.

"Madam, we're all gone, so who will guard the cottage?" The two said subconsciously.

"Bastard, isn't Lao Tzu human? Could it be that Lao Tzu's name is Qin Wen, so he can't lift a knife to kill people? ”

Qin Wen couldn't hold back any longer, and with a bang, he pulled out a large section of his waist knife, stared at the two and roared.

Usually he helps his wife deal with the daily affairs of the cottage, and he is too lazy to fight with these two people, but now the two of them directly ignore him, which is really bearable, which is unbearable.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Qin Wen, you are looking for death, not only do you speak rudely in front of your wife, but you also dare to show your sword, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you to death?"

"Qin Feng, what the fuck are you still talking about Qin Wen, you don't play Lao Tzu yourself?"

The three of them fought below with a red face and a thick neck, but Mrs. Li's face above was blue and purple for a while.

The three of them may have sensed that something was wrong, and after catching a glimpse of Xiao Xinru's face, they all hurriedly stopped their mouths and lowered their heads.

"Okay, you are not small, you must pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future, you must unite and love each other, don't quarrel over a little thing, Qin Wen will take a hundred people to stay and defend, and the two of you will take another nine hundred people and pick one thousand young people to go down the mountain."

"Yes!"

The three of them didn't say anything, and replied with their fists clenched, but after going down, they would definitely have to fight secretly.
