Chapter 111: Neat and tidy
The county seat was too tall and well-guarded, so Lu Fang took people to pass by and take a look, and then gave up the plan to attack.
His men, though weary, were mostly horses, though they were as thin as their masters.
As soon as the bandits turned around and marched straight north, passing by the tall dock fort of Zhang Chun's house, they were even more reckless than the county seat, and the soldiers on the wall were even better than the county guards and the fifth battalion. Master Zhang is an understanding person, he didn't blindly hoard money and food, he used it to build a strong family soldier, no matter whether he was an official or a bandit or a hu, if he wanted to fight his family's idea, he had to touch a blood on his forehead first.
Seeing Lu Fang's red cloth Chinese character flag from afar, Zhang Chun, who also missed his family's glorious days in the previous dynasty, was also a little disdainful, and called his son Zhang Fen and pointed to Lu Fang and others.
"Wu'er, you remember, things are all compared, in the past, when the Han family was in mourning, people all over the world felt that the Han Dynasty was not good and that was not good, and the scholars also wrote books all day long to criticize my father, regarded as a traitor, and pointed fingers at the government. But now that the world is about to be chaotic, people's hearts are beginning to feel that the Han Dynasty is better than now. In the future, there will be many people under the banner of the Han family, and we must learn to distinguish which ones are fish eyes and which ones are pearls. ”
"If you are wrong, it will be a disaster of extinction!"
And Lu Fang didn't stay outside Zhang's manor for a long time, and saw that the surroundings were like strong walls and clear fields, so he continued to the north.
He has only one goal, the ferry!
Lu Fang sent someone to see the main force of the fifth battalion crossing the river, before he dared to come, taking advantage of the fifth Lun being entangled by the Hun rangers, he took the east bank ferry in one fell swoop, set a fire, disturbed the heart of the fifth Lun army, and let him be defeated by the Huns, even if it didn't work, Lu Fang and his subordinates could still escape downstream by boat.
However, what awaits Lu Fang at the ferry is not only the chaotic and weak refugee people.
There is also the 5th Battalion of soldiers who are still holding spears and standing still in the east, and there is also a cavalry team in the East, all of them wearing yellow scarves on their heads, dressed as new troops, in order to disguise their identity as "bandits", and the leader is Ma Yuan!
Ma Yuan squinted, pointed to the one in black fur among the enemies and said, "Lu Fang, you took the initiative to bring people here, do you want to surrender, or do you want to sacrifice your head?" ”
……
By nightfall, during the day, more than 400 Huns were driven into the ditch by the Fifth Lun, and the news that more than half of them had been killed had alarmed the king of Julin, who ordered his subordinates not to cross the ditch again, and at the same time began to take Lianxian as the center to collect the various troops that had been defeated by the great victory and plunder.
But the Huns, who were worse disciplined than the new army, had long been scattered all over the plains, and they were in groups of three or five hundred, and captured some Lilu, and the obedient and loyal appearance of the past sixty years in front of the emperor of the Han family disappeared, and the killing and wildness that had been left in the blood were magnified in the collective mischief, and began to recklessly revel.
Behind the ruins of Lilu is a locust tree, and Li Zheng is tightly tied to the tree, and from his position in the courtyard, you can see the motionless feet of his old father. The father fell in the courtyard, his head on the stone slab and died, blood flowing down the crevices to his feet.
Li Zheng moved his feet and didn't want to touch the blood, he had been scolding all day, scolding the ancestors of the Hu people, scolding the new army that had no prospects, scolding himself who was lucky to guard the wall and did not leave with his family as soon as possible, scolding and scolding that he had no strength, and his tears dried up, and he only began to beg, begging Hu Ren to give him a knife and have a good time.
But the Huns were not, they laughed extremely presumptuously in the house, and the cries of Lizheng's wife and daughter were endless, so that he could only raise his head and howl in pain.
Today is the middle of the month, the moon is very big and round, and the Lord of Heaven looks at the world, but don't expect him to punish evil and promote good.
The two Hu people who were keeping vigil outside the Lilu fell to the ground one after another, and before they could even give a warning, a group of people dressed in soap clothes entered the Lizhong and went to the houses occupied by the Hu people in batches.
A few of them touched the outside of the courtyard, and Li Zheng stopped howling, but just stared at them blankly, and a descendant came to him, cut the rope with a knife, and handed the handle of the knife to Li Zheng, and said in a local accent: "Go! ”
Li Zheng rushed into the courtyard with red eyes, stabbed the peeing Hu man who was standing next to his old father, and then drew his blade into the house, this time it was the turn of the Huns to cry one after another!
Li Zheng came out covered in blood, and later next to the corpse of the old father in the courtyard, there were a few bloody Hu Lu heads, and Li Zheng took his wife and daughter who survived by chance, and repeatedly bowed to Meng Ze, thanking him for saving his life.
"We are soldiers of the fifth battalion!"
Monzer was full of pride, although he had only been a hundred for less than half a day.
This was the plan of the Fifth Lun, and after nightfall, the Hu people's brigade did not dare to run around, so he selected a hundred brave men from among the soldiers, plus Meng Ze's anxious locals who were familiar with the roads of Qianmo, to form this team.
"General Tunhu probably can't come back, west of Beiyi Mountain is the territory of the Hu people, the desert grassland, and the soldiers are lost. But to the east of Beiyi Mountain, it is our familiar home field, and the Hu people are also deaf and blind here! And let them see how good the knives of the people in the new Qin are! ”
Something similar happened in the riverside miles, and in just one night, the team brought back more than 100 heads and thousands of refugees.
And Wan Xuan, who had already led people back and forth several times, brought back a big surprise to the fifth Lun when the sky was about to dawn.
A man with a bun on his head but wearing a beard was tied to a horse by Wan Yu, picked up and thrown in front of Wu Lun.
"We were ordered by Sima to sweep the Hulu along the river, but thirty miles to the south, we found a group of people who wanted to cross the river on a sheepskin raft to the east bank.
The Hufu man led by him didn't say a word, and the rest of the people were Huns, let alone Mingtang.
Fifth Lun directly asked Brother Biao to torture this person, and after breaking the first finger, he spoke, but he said incomprehensible words, saying that he was just an innocent person, and he was forced to lead the way by the Hu people, and begged to be let go.
What are you kidding, Daxin Wang Shi doesn't even let go of innocent people, let alone this suspicious person.
His words couldn't deceive Wu Lun, a dialect master: "I don't hear that your accent is not like a local, but like a Sanshui person, could it be Lu Fang's subordinate?" ”
This person shut up again, and at this time he found someone who could speak Xiongnu dialect, and after interrogating a few Hu people in his peers, he learned that this person was really from Anding, and it was Lu Fang's brother Lu Yu!
It turned out that Lu Yu was ordered by King Julin to smuggle to the east bank, contact Lu Fang to respond, no matter how bad he was, he had to take him over and return to the Xiongnu together.
Seventh Biao broke off one of Lu Yu's fingers again and scolded: "Brother Ru claims to be surnamed Liu, why is your surname Lu, is he a wild seed, or are you a wild seed?" ”
At this time, there was a burst of cheers on the other side, and Wu Lun and others did not know why, so they asked Wan Xuan to guard the car barrier by the canal, and he went to the ferry to watch, but saw a boat on the other side, and the boat was not carrying people, but a boat full of heads!
"We are fortunate not to be dishonored."
Ma Yuan only bowed his hand to the fifth Lun: "Lu Fang really had a fluke, and wanted to lead people to attack the ferry, seeing that we were all about to stop, and when we evacuated, we encountered the Xuan army and the county soldiers who rushed from the county seat, and the Zhang family also sent disciples to help, surrounded hundreds with more than 1,000 people, and killed 300 on the spot, only more than 100 people escaped by night, and they were trying their best to search for them. ”
Ma Yuan pulled the red cloth Chinese character flag and presented it to the fifth Lun, and pointed to the head in the boat and said: "Lu Fang's state pastor, assassin history, and county guard...... What else is the Imperial Doctor, the Great Soldier, etc., good guys, there are five in Sangong, and there are more than a dozen in Jiuqing. ”
"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, neat and tidy, it's all here."
The fifth Lun was happy: "What about Lu Fang himself?" ”
Ma Yuan came over with a hideous head: "The captives are all right, Lu Fang is the one who wears a black fur suit under his banner, after I personally chased and beheaded him, most of the captives have died, and among the survivors, some say yes, some say no." ”
"It's okay, Lu Fang's brother has been caught, let him know as soon as he recognizes it."
Fifth Lun asked Lu Yu to be escorted over, and he lit the fire to let him identify "Lu Fangtou".
After Lu Yu glanced at it, he was overjoyed, but he only bowed his head and cried bitterly: "My brother, you haven't achieved great things yet, and you lost your hand......
"Less pretending!"
The seventh biao stepped on him on the ground, and on the order of the fifth lun, he broke off all ten fingers of Lu Yu, and asked once for each broken one: "Is this Lu Fang?" ”
"Yes!"
Lu Yu was bleeding between his teeth, gritting his teeth every time, and finally fainted in pain.
Fifth Lun was still a little suspicious, so he only asked people to accept "Lu Fangtou", anyway, he claimed it first in the subject country of Anding, and after being recognized by the imperial court, even if this is really Lu Fang, it is not good to give it out to repay the merits.
But Lu Yu is okay, plus the third Lu Cheng, who died a long time ago, the family just wants to be neat.
After the people of the ferry had been sent across the river, the fifth Lun also made a trip to the east bank.
Thousands of refugees from the three counties of the West Bank have been temporarily resettled here, and Xuan Biao has already led people to help them build shacks, light bonfires to keep them warm, and organize patrols to prevent thieves from committing crimes, which has allowed the people to settle down.
At this moment, I heard that those fellow villagers who were rescued from the atrocities of the Hu people told that they had returned, and that they had returned from the fifth Lun, and their attitudes were completely different from the vigilance in the morning.
Fifth Lun asked Meng Ze and the others, who had frequently attacked last night, to come over: "More than 100 children from your hometown have also voluntarily joined my command, and you can rest assured that they are standing guard for you!" ”
Hearing that the people were overjoyed, it was true that although the Fifth Battalion was different from the ordinary New Army, it was still more trustworthy to the children of the party in their hometown.
Fifth Lun also asked people to push a few captive Huns up, let the people who had left their hometowns beat them to death, and after everyone was tired and vented their anger, he promised that tomorrow he would bring grain from the camp to build a porridge shed.
Fifth Lun thought that after he had suppressed so many scattered Hulu, the main force of the Huns would definitely be angry and send troops to attack, but the next day, the barricade by the canal waited all morning, but not a single Hu man attacked.
And Wan Xuan, who was sent out to check the news, came to report back, saying that the Huns were retreating one after another, and had left Lian County, and the main force had arrived at the foot of Helan Mountain, dozens of miles away.
At this distance, the fifth Lun can only look west and sigh.
The reason for the evacuation, in addition to the fact that the Hu people had been plundered enough, was also because a new army of several thousand men was marching from north to south, and it would reach the city of Shanghe in the afternoon, and Wan Xuan was connected with his forward scouts.
"Who's coming?"
"Captain Dou Rong."
"Dou Rong?" Fifth Lun thought about it hard, it seems that he is the eldest brother of Dasikong Wangyi, probably relying on nepotism to ascend to the throne.
"Dou Zhougong is from Pingling, he has seen me, so he has to stay away for a while." Ma Yuan immediately prepared to slip away.
And at this time, a famous scene that made Wu Lun unforgettable appeared.
But seeing that it was closed for several days, and the gate of Shanghe City, which was not even opened by the people for help, suddenly opened, and the captain Liang Qiuci rushed out with two thousand soldiers, and marched hard in the direction of the Xiongnu's departure, as if he was chasing the enemy who had already been on the horizon.
For a while, the flag swayed, the spears and halberds were facing the sky, and the crossbowmen even kept stopping and aiming and shooting into the empty wilderness!
This royal division marched north violently, and came back proudly after half an hour, cheering: "Great victory, Hu Lu has been expelled by Captain Liangqiu!" The little king of the Huns fled in embarrassment! ”
"Lost ground, all recovered!"
Fifth Lun was stunned, but Liang Qiuci was not bad to the extreme, and if he changed other friendly troops, he might slaughter a few people in Lilu, and carefully comb their heads to repay their merits.
However, he hit the fifth Lun's side with his idea, and sent someone to invite Boyu Sima to Shanghe City for a while.
When the people knocked on the door for help, when the Hulu were raging and violent, and when our army crossed the river to fight to the death, why did you go earlier?
Wu Lun immediately asked people to transport all the heads of the Hu people to the east bank, and did not give any of them to Liang Qiu, but only promised to give them to the county commander and county lieutenant of Tewu County, so that Tewu County could maintain a unified caliber, and at the same time gave Wan Yu an order to go to Dou Rong's army again.
The Hu people withdrew quickly, the fierce battle on the battlefield was over, and it was the turn of the battle on the case.
In the past, Wu Lun was still happy to endorse Liang Qiuci, but now, his wings were hard, and the hands of his stabbing allies and bosses were itching again.
It's time to tear off the mask: "Let Liang Qiuci be punished and get out, and I will take over the defense of the four counties and two obstacles in the entire four counties of Xinqin, isn't it fragrant?" ”
