Chapter 60 Things Change
There are also streets in residential areas outside the city, and signs are posted on street corners. Lan Wei was originally literate, the first time he came to Ganling, he was unfamiliar with the place, and after seeing the notice, he couldn't help but go over and read it. After reading it, Lan Wei was dumbfounded.
Qu Shuai said that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and Lan Wei now thinks it is true - the people of Taiping Dao, the Han Army, the Ganling Mansion, and the Ganling City. These four forces are probably the main existence of Ganling City.
Taiping Dao was an enemy of the Han army and the Ganling government, and the problem was that the Ganling government was an enemy of the Taiping Dao, but it publicly wrote a notice asking the people to kill the Han army by themselves when they encountered a robbery by the Han army without military discipline. The people are the worst, they don't even have the ability to protect themselves, even if the people kill the Han army by themselves, but the Han army is organized and premeditated, and it is not something that can be killed if you want to.
Lan Wei couldn't help but think about it, whether she could take advantage of the contradictions.
I was thinking about it, but I heard someone shouting in the distance: "The officers and soldiers are robbing people, kill them, kill them!" ”
turned his head to look, but saw someone shouting and rushing towards Lan Wei and the others. The warrior immediately stopped the man dressed in the clothes of an ordinary man, but the man was not afraid, and he shouted, "Master of Taiping Dao, please help!" The officers and soldiers went to my house to grab things. Please help! ”
Although he was a little worried that there would be an ambush here, but the opportunity was rare, Lan Wei immediately ordered a team to lead the troops to follow the people first, and he himself led his subordinates to investigate, and Wu Lu led the main force to follow behind the team leader.
didn't wait for the complete arrangement, but saw that the team had already captured a few Han soldiers and came back, and the Han army really ran to the residents' homes to rob, and after being blocked, they couldn't escape and were captured alive.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The people outside Ganling City, who had not dared to get too close to Lan Wei and Wu Lu's troops, now leaned over and shouted.
"Kill them all!" Lan Wei was naturally unwilling to go against the wishes of the people at this time.
Hearing Lan Wei shout like this, those Han soldiers felt that it was a matter of troops, and they straightened their necks and shouted: "The master of Taiping Dao spares his life!" The old man of Taiping Dao spares his life! A few days ago, the master of Taiping Dao, who was still here, had an agreement with us that the well water would not interfere with the river water. We don't fight with the lords of the Taiping Road, and the lords of the Taiping Army don't ......."
Lan Wei listened to the words of the Han army, and the more he said it, the more wrong it became, he took out the ring head knife and slashed one by one, and beheaded several Han soldiers. There is often a tacit understanding between the Taiping Road and the local Han army, the Han army is unwilling to fight to the death with the Taiping Road, the Taiping Road is much smaller than the Han army, and the Taiping Road is naturally very welcome to the Han army who are unwilling to fight. When the two sides fought head-on, they all pretended to go through the motions and fooled the upper echelons of the Han army.
Lan Wei only knew these things after joining Zhang Luo's team, so he could only kill people. His purpose at this time was to harass the Han army under the city of Ganling, and Lan Wei also had an idea, if he could go to the ferry and seize the boat, he could transport troops across the Li River. At this time, it is no longer the time to have a good relationship with the lower echelons of the Han army, but to have a good relationship with the local people.
Putting away the ring head knife, Lan Wei shouted: "All the township parties in Ganling, we and others are all from a bitter background, and they can't survive before they rise up to rebel." We are the people in the first place, so naturally we do not rob the people or kill the people. If you encounter robbery by Han thieves, you can tell us Taipingdao, and our Taipingdao will naturally support you! ”
This was originally a scene, and Lan Wei had to shout out. Unexpectedly, as soon as the shouting was finished, some people rushed up and cried that their homes had been looted, hoping that Taiping Dao could call the shots for them.
"This township party, where is your home, and the thief is still in your house?" Lan Wei asked.
The people cried and said, "O lord! The officers and soldiers have robbed us of our things and are selling them in the barracks! ”
In some places, the Han army was corrupted in military discipline, plundered everywhere, set up markets in camps, and publicly auctioned off the looted property. The magistrate in the combat area was very annoyed by the group of officers and soldiers who were looting, so he ordered the people to kill the Han army who could break into the house and rob to defend themselves. Originally, when the main force of Taiping Dao besieged Ganling, the Han army did not dare to run outside the city controlled by Taiping Dao to rob, but only looted in the villages near their respective camping sites. Now that the main force of the Taiping Dao crossed the river to the north, the Han army, which had long been coveted by the wealthy residents of Ganling City, immediately killed outside the city and began to sweep up.
In order to prevent the raid of Taipingdao, he sealed the four gates, and could only rely on long ladders and ropes to enter and exit. Naturally, he turned a blind eye to what was going on outside the city. This is when the Ganling magistrate wrote, "If you encounter an official or an army breaking into a private house, the people can kill themselves." The notice came out.
"Where is the camp of the Han thieves?" Lan Wei asked.
Seeing Lan Wei ask, the people outside Ganling City who had been plundered by the Han army volunteered to lead the way for Lan Wei.
Lan Wei hurriedly said, "Everyone! I'm going to fight the camp of the thieves, and the thieves are afraid that they will be able to see it from a distance. If you can't beat it, it's not beautiful. It's better for you to go straight to the camp of the thieves, I waited behind and followed, and when I arrived at the gate of the camp of the thieves, I waited for a sudden attack from behind, and the thieves were caught off guard, but it was easy to succeed! ”
Looking at the hesitant expressions of the people, Lan Wei continued: "We only need the armor and food of the Han thieves, and the things they looted in the camp, we will not take a penny, and after you enter the Han thief camp, you can retrieve the things that were stolen by yourself." ”
This is actually half true and half foolish, Lan Wei really needs to get the burden of the Han army, especially the food in the Han army's barracks. The money in the Han army is also a little interested, and as for other items, it is a burden to carry on the back when marching.
But Lan Wei couldn't trust the people all, so he let the people be in front, and if he really encountered some other situations, he and Wu Lu could run away with the troops. If the people refused to do so, Lan Wei could also refuse the people's request under the pretext that it was difficult to get close to the Han camp.
Unexpectedly, the people just thought for a moment, and then expressed their anger that they were willing to stand in front of Lan Wei and help Lan Wei get close to the Han army camp.
The camps of the Han army were not all located in the city, but the garrisons of the county capital were in the city. When the main force of Taiping Dao besieged Ganling, many troops of the Han army were surrounded from all over the country, and after the Taiping Dao withdrew from the siege and went north, only a part of the Han army went to catch up, and a considerable part of the camps of the Yizhou soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers, Yangzhou soldiers and other troops were set up outside the city. These foreign troops had nothing to do with the people of Ganling, they were the main force of looting.
The people of Ganling City didn't care where those troops came from, nor could they tell where they came from, just as they couldn't tell the difference between the army of the Taiping Dao Zhuqu Marshal and the army of Taiping Dao Zhang Luo. What they knew was that the army of the imperial court was robbing them, and the Taiping Dao, whether it was the army besieging Ganling in front of them or the army that appeared in Ganling now, neither robbed the people nor killed the people.
For the people, it is enough to know this. Knowing this, they understand who to rely on, who to dodge, and who to hit.
Soon, there were hundreds of civilians in front, Lan Wei's troops in the back, and a group of people went straight to the nearest Han army camp. The camp of the Han army was placed with the occupied dwellings as the core, and it was not a field camp at all, let alone a strict defense. In these years, the people regarded the officials and soldiers as fierce beasts, and they did not want to get close to the officials and soldiers at all. Therefore, this "camp" has no horses and no guards, like a den of thieves.
And the Han army, who came in and out of the thieves' den, did not seem to know that a Taiping Dao army had arrived.
"I hope the Han army didn't lay an ambush!" Lan Wei prayed in his heart, and then ordered the two tun chiefs who followed him: "Follow me in!" ”
"Master, there's a ferry ahead!" A Jingzhou Han soldier said to Lan Wei beside him with a flattering look.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lan Wei with the rest of his gaze, trying to see something from Lan Wei's tense face.
Lan Wei's face was very serious, because he didn't know what to think at this time.
Not long ago, Lan Wei hid behind the people of Ganling City, and simply approached a camp of the Han army outside the city.
An order: "Follow me in!" Lan Wei led the team to make a surprise attack.
The Han army never expected to be attacked at such a close distance and so suddenly, and soon, the unlucky Han army was killed all over the place, and the unlucky Han army ran away.
How could Lan Wei let these Han troops escape, he left two tuns to clear the Han army on the spot, and Wu Lu took three tuns to chase after the fleeing Han army and kill them.
