Chapter 109: Rescue the People
Xiahou Yuan knew that Xiangyong was just an ordinary person, and in terms of combat strength, a thousand Xiangyong might not be able to beat a hundred well-trained sergeants.
Now, even if the largest village can make up two or three hundred young people, it is not bad, but there are not even a hundred people in front of him, how can he compete with the hundred cavalry led by Guan Yu?
Who knows, the young people in front of them don't seem to be as afraid of the army as ordinary people, and Xiahou Yuan doesn't know where these people get their confidence.
While speaking, Guan Yu had already led the army to chase after Shi Jie, only to see dozens of young men emerging out of nowhere, carrying Xiahou Yuan to climb up Shi Jie.
"Stop!" Guan Yu grabbed the reins, pointed at Niu Da and the others with a big knife and shouted in a deep voice: "You and others are all my people in Xuzhou, you can recognize it clearly, what you are saving is the Yanzhou general, don't distinguish between the enemy and me." β
Dongguan County has been under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou for hundreds of years, and the people under its rule have naturally been from Xuzhou for generations, and now the city has only been captured by Yanzhou for two or three months, and it is impossible to replace their memories of belonging for hundreds of years.
But in front of them, these people actually fled with Xiahou Yuan on their backs, Guan Yu guessed that they must have been coerced and had no choice but to help the abuse.
"Don't worry, I am Guan Yu, the guard of Pengcheng under the command of the Han Xuzhou Mu Liu Envoy, and I was ordered to come to rescue you and others, so I don't have to be afraid of coercion......"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Get out!"
Suddenly, two walnut-sized pebbles flew over and hit Guan Yu's helmet, and someone seemed to curse......
Guan Yu: "??? β
Whether they didn't explain it themselves, or they didn't understand.
Immediately afterwards, I heard someone shouting loudly on the stone pier: "Who is good to me, who is not good to me, we can distinguish it ourselves, and we need you to save it?" β
"Where did you come from, hurry up and go back, we already have Liu Fujun, and we don't need your Liu Yuanjun to rescue us."
Even if these people belonged to Xuzhou for generations, they still didn't pay grain when they should pay for it, and they should serve labor when they should serve it?
Dongguan County has many mountains and few fields, and the land is barren, but the taxes paid are not a lot at all, and the people here have spent their lives in semi-starvation for generations, and rarely have a full stomach.
In the year of famine, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters.
Even in normal years, those who have daughters in the family are eager to marry the girls to other counties, and in the long run, there are many young people in the county who cannot marry wives.
But since Liu Ping made iron here, the situation has completely changed.
Almost every family working in the mine is fed and even has a surplus of food.
Although the people knew that the land was still the same land, and it was impossible to produce more food, the people were not stupid, and they also knew that the value of the iron they smelted was much higher than that of growing grain, and that their good life would not be interrupted, but would only get better and better.
After all, according to their digging method, the mine will not be able to be dug in a few lifetimes.
Now the young and strong people who work in the mines in Dongguan County have instantly become fragrant and sweet, and it is no longer difficult to marry a wife, and those who have daughters in the family no longer want to marry outside, and even some girls in other places are eager to marry in Dongguan County.
For example, Niu Er, after quitting seven or eight matchmakers, had already married the daughter of a small rich peasant, and now his wives are pregnant, which he didn't even dare to think about before.
Although they are all the lowest people, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts. What kind of life has Liu Fujun had since he came?
If it weren't for Liu Fujun's refusal, many people would have spontaneously set up an ancestral hall for him.
In front of him, Guan Yu kept saying that he wanted to rescue them?
Whoever rescues them, they are in a hurry!
"Get out of here, there's a lot of bad guy." Someone said impatiently: "If you throw it again, it will be a big stone." β
"Don't think that we are afraid of you with knives and guns, and rescue us, save yourself first." Someone else threw a stone.
"A bunch of fools, so ignorant of what to do!" Guan Yu naturally didn't know what the people thought, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "If you don't send the thief down quickly, it will be a crime of collaborating with the enemy, and don't blame Guan for stepping on your village." β
"Go up, open a path, rush over, and kill those who collaborate with the enemy." Guan Yu said angrily.
He talked bitterly for a long time, and in exchange for the people throwing stones at him, it was simply unreasonable.
Although the two stones did not hurt him in the slightest, they represented the stubborn attitude of the people.
However, just the dozens of people in front of him couldn't afford him to cut them with a few knives, not to mention that he still had more than a hundred and a dozen cavalry.
At this point, people are delusional to save the enemy general, which is simply a fool's dream.
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
Suddenly, the sound of several horns echoed through the valley.
Followed by the earth-shattering shouts.
Under the moonlight, the dozens of young people were crowded around, and countless people suddenly appeared.
There was no way to stand on the stone pile, so they could only huddle on the slopes on both sides, and there were probably thousands of people looking at it.
Then countless torches suddenly appeared on the slopes of the hills on both sides, and the queues were a few feet wide to outflank the sides, and at night they danced like two huge fire dragons on the mountain.
Xiahou Yuan was lying on Niu Er's back, and was dumbfounded when he looked at this scene.
No wonder they are so confident and have so many helpers.
He has been in battle for a long time, and as soon as the soldiers look at it, they can guess the number of people.
In front of me, I'm afraid there are no less than 20,000 people!
No matter how weak the Xiangyong combat strength is, so many people, one person and one stone can bury Guan Yu alive.
Xiahou Yuan finally put his heart in his stomach, and now his old life was saved, but I don't know how that guy in Ping'er made these tens of thousands of people return to their hearts.
Guan Yu looked at both sides, and the whole person felt bad.
Although he is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, that is just an exaggeration, not that he can really kill 10,000 people by himself.
If everyone had long weapons, he wouldn't be able to kill even a thousand.
Although the thousands of people in front of them did not have long weapons, each of them carried a stone the size of a bowl in his hand......
Not to mention that there are so many people on the hillsides on both sides.
was stunned, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound in his ears, and Guan Yu looked at it through the moonlight.
I saw dozens of boulders the size of grinding discs rolling down the slopes on both sides.
The boulder rolled down the hillside like thunder, and rushed straight at them.
Guan Yu couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, how could this flesh and blood body bear it?
"Retreat! Evacuate! He shouted urgently, and turned his horse away.
Rao is like this, and the seventy or eighty horsemen who are backward are also crushed into meatloaf by the boulder.
Looking at their backs fleeing in a hurry, the 20,000 young men let out an earth-shattering cheer......
β¦β¦
Speaking of Liu Ping, after escorting the grain and grass to the barracks, Cao Ren praised it greatly.
Then he stayed in Cao Ren's Chinese military tent to counsel the military plane, after all, this is the safest place.
The so-called counselor's military plane is where the two of them stared at each other.
Cao Chun led the army to attack the city on the front line, but Zhang Fei's defense of Pengcheng County was extremely stubborn, and thousands of people were killed and wounded in seven or eight days, and he still did not break through the city.
The date agreed with Cao Ang was getting closer and closer, and Cao Ren was also walking around impatiently in the Zhongjun tent, unable to sit still.
Suddenly, a scout hurriedly reported: "General, something is wrong, Liu Bei personally led an army of 30,000 out of Xuzhou and went straight to the direction of Pengcheng." β
Cao Ren stepped forward and asked urgently, "Can you find out clearly?" β
"It's true!" The scout affirmed.
Cao Ren's legs bent and he almost sat underground, how could he attack the city like this?
Liu Ping also wondered when he heard this, how could Liu Bei dare to go out of Xuzhou easily, wasn't he afraid that Yuan Shu would copy his lair?
