The old woman's eyes revealed sadness and hesitation.

After seeing Liu Zheng and these people behind Liu Zheng, he sent out a look of doubt.

"You...... Who are you? ”

The old woman looked quite old, she seemed to be in her sixties, with a slumped body, a pair of eyes, no longer focused, looking at Liu Zheng, full of doubts.

"Old man, we are the army of the Han Dynasty, and I heard that Rinan County was attacked by the people of Linyi Kingdom, so we came here to quell the chaos."

Liu Zheng changed his expression, put away his previous tense mood, took the initiative to approach the old woman, and then said a word to the old woman.

After the old man heard Liu Zheng's words, his helpless eyes immediately became excited, and in the blink of an eye, tears welled up from his eyes, and he approached Liu Zheng excitedly and took Liu Zheng's hands.

"Too ...... Great, you guys...... You're finally here, our savior is finally here! ”

"What's going on, why are there corpses all over here?"

Although Liu Zheng didn't want to touch the heartache of this old woman, as the actual controller of Jiaozhou, he naturally had to make decisions for the people of Jiaozhou.

The old woman excitedly began to tell Liu Zheng about the affairs of Zhuwu County, although she was very slow to speak because of her excitement, and her expression skills were not very clear, but Liu Zheng still understood what happened from the mouth of this old woman, and finally knew what those beasts in Linyi Country had done.

It turned out that a few days ago.

The army of Linyi has already arrived here, and the population of Zhuwu County is not much, only more than 10,000 people, among which the soldiers and horses in the original county town have been transferred away by Zhu Fu.

There was no actual military strength in the entire county, and when the infantry of the Linyi Kingdom appeared outside Zhuwu County, the county commander could only organize the young and middle-aged men in the city to start dealing with the people of the Linyi State.

They did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and only more than 700 young and middle-aged people were left on top of the city tower, defending, and holding out behind closed doors.

The people of Lin Yiguo didn't want to increase the casualties, but they just kept consuming here, using the time to gradually wear down the morale of the defenders in Zhuwu County.

And threatened that if the county commander did not surrender, when the city gate was broken, all men would be slaughtered!

The county commander was loyal to the Han court and did not want to surrender, but as a result, after holding on for more than ten days, he finally did not resist the army that Lin Yiguo arrived later.

Under the attack of 20,000 troops, Zhuwu County was lost in only half a day.

Those people in Linyi Kingdom really fulfilled their promise, as soon as the city was broken, they would kill in Zhuwu County, but all men, as long as they were higher than their belts, they would be slaughtered.

The massacre lasted all day, and Zhuwu County, which is not a large county seat, has not many houses, and a whole day is more than enough time.

A large number of men were killed, women were not spared, the young and beautiful were taken away and used as slaves in the Linyi Kingdom, and the older and unattractive ones were robbed of their finances and left to be abandoned in this deserted city.

By the time Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses arrived in Zhuwu County, there was already very little population left, and most of the remaining people were old women who had lost their husbands and children.

After Liu Zheng heard this old woman's story, the expression on his face became more and more ugly, and his hands were immediately clenched into fists, and his nails pierced into his flesh, and a burst of pain made Liu Zheng sober.

"Brute! I can understand war, fighting, but slaughtering cities and persecuting the people, this is really not as good as a beast! ”

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and spit out a few words from his mouth.

At the beginning, he also had a little appreciation for Fan Yi, the crown prince of the Linyi Kingdom, although this guy was robbing while the fire was taking advantage of the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Fu in Jiaozhou, attacking Jiaozhou, a bit of a trick, but he can also be regarded as a person who knows how to seize the opportunity and examine the seizure.

Even when he escaped from his hands, Liu Zheng admired him quite a lot, thinking that he was a smart person, but now, after he heard the old woman's words, Liu Zheng just wanted to kill him and vent the indignation in his heart.

"My lord, you have to be the master for us, the old husband sacrificed his life for the country, and the son died in the hands of those soldiers of Linyi Kingdom, and even the daughter and granddaughter who had just turned thirteen were snatched away by those beasts!"

The more the old woman spoke, the more she burst into tears, and the whole person cried even more pitifully in front of Liu Zheng.

This scene also made Liu Zheng's anger more obvious.

"Old man, don't worry, I am the new state pastor of Jiaozhou, I will definitely make the decision for you, set foot in the Linyi country, and save your daughter and granddaughter!"

Liu Zheng touched the old woman's hand and made a promise to the old woman.

Although his state pastor was only canonized by himself, who will care about this now, this old woman can only hope for Liu Zheng.

After understanding what happened, Liu Zheng didn't even say anything to the old woman, just comforted the old woman a few words, then immediately turned around, took Xu Huang and the others, and decided to continue to pursue Fan Yi.

"Xu Huang, when you pursued here, did you find Fan Yi?"

Xu Huang followed Liu Zheng's side and heard the conversation between Liu Zheng and the old woman, his face was also very ugly at this time, and his eyebrows showed indignation.

"Lord, that Fan Yi ran this way, but that guy rode a tall animal, ran very fast, and let his men intercept my pursuit, I originally caught up with him once, but I still let him run away."

Xu Huang briefly described the process of his pursuit to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng understood what Xu Huang was talking about as soon as he heard it.

"Tall animals? Elephant? ”

Ilnan County, originally known as Elephant County, has some elephants in the forests all year round, and some people are able to tame elephants and use them as mounts.

The elephant is seen to be a huge and bulky animal, but once the elephant goes crazy, the speed of running is not slow, and even in this kind of mountain, the war horse may not be able to outrun the elephant.

"No wonder that guy can escape from your hands, you are riding an elephant!"

"Is that thing called an elephant, it's the first time I've seen it."

Xu Huang nodded in realization.

"It doesn't matter, we can run the monk, we can't run the temple, we immediately pursue, although this time we only brought three thousand people over, but as long as he returns to Linyi Kingdom, three thousand people should be enough."

Liu Zheng did not stop in Zhuwu County, only left a team of more than 100 people, carried out the aftermath, and after doing some auxiliary pacification work in Zhuwu County, he continued to bring his soldiers and horses and pursued in the direction of Lin Yiguo.
