Chapter 5: Bandits

Out of the old way, it is Chen Cang.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which can not only cut off the traffic in the east, west and south, but also is the place where grain and grass transit in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and it is indeed an important city.

But the population, hehe.

Now this Chencang City, there are more than 10,000 people, in addition to the high point of the city wall, the garrison is a little stricter, in the later generations, that is, a large natural village.

In such a place, there are no markets, restaurants, or brothels.

After all, it would be nice to have a commissary in a village. As for other entertainment, opening a brothel? Hehe, who is not afraid of the whole village to play?

In a military town like Chencang, there have always been generals guarding it, and the main task of Liu Wen's [Initial Establishment of Forces] cannot be completed in Chencang at all.

Therefore, they didn't even enter the city, and after bypassing Chencang, they went all the way to Luoyang in the east.

Liu Wenwen thought that the official road was safe, but only 15 miles after leaving Chencang, he heard the noisy sound of horses' hooves, and about fifty horsemen and horses came straight to this side.

If it was left in his previous life, Liu Wen would definitely disdain this number when he heard that there were 50 horsemen, and felt that it was a small group of people.

Don't think about it, when I ran and drilled in high school, 50 people in a class could make a lot of noise, not to mention that now all the strong men who come here are strong men with blades, and they are also riding high-headed horses.

Only the sound of "boom, boom" was heard.

The war horses ran like the wind, rolling up the yellow sand and dust on the official road, which looked even more powerful.

In terms of momentum, it is like a heavy armored vehicle, as if it can smash everything in front of it.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and others screamed, which made people's scalps tingle.

Liu Wen didn't know what his strength was, but he didn't dare to fight with them, and shouted: "The wind is tight!" ! ”

led a group of tool men to run to the side of the official road.

Unlike the official road paved with sand, there are many troubled times, weeds, and soil pits next to it, and it is not easy for war horses to charge in such a place.

As for running for your life.

Hum!

Can you escape now? Liu Wen just wanted to change the battlefield that was beneficial to him.

Running to the grass on the side of the road, the other party was also close, Liu Wen picked up a stone slightly larger than a fist, mustered up his strength and threw it out.

Just listen to the sound of "woo"!

This stone is as fast as popular, and the front door of the person in the front of the center has a crisp "snap", just like breaking a watermelon, and the person immediately fell off the horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Liu Wen didn't expect his quasi-head to be so full, he was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly picked up a few stones and threw them out.

I only heard the sound of "popping" constantly, and all of them fell and died.

The cavalry on the opposite side was frightened, hurriedly restrained their horses, and prepared to escape.

How could Liu Wen be willing to give up this rare opportunity, and shouted: "Little ones, give it to me!" ”

The 26 tool men, each armed with a weapon, screamed and slew them.

Before they were controlled souls, they were very strong bandits, with the blessing of the blessing card, their physique has increased a lot, plus after being controlled souls, they don't know what they are afraid of, and they are definitely the most cold-blooded killing machines.

The tool men ran up to the cavalrymen, dragged them off their horses, and killed them.

More than 50 cavalry were killed in a blink of an eye, and the rest were completely scared, crying and shouting at their mothers to surrender.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Liu Wen hurriedly ordered.

The tool people stopped one after another, the cavalry dismounted and surrendered tremblingly, Liu Wen stepped forward to interrogate, only to know that they were all soldiers in Chen Cangcheng, and when his party passed by, they had already been targeted.

This place belongs to the territory of the early Sui Dynasty, and although the location is important, there is basically no battle to fight.

Finding that there were more than 20 people in his group, the soldiers in the city had crooked thoughts, wanting to rob their property and kill at the same time, so they chased after him.

"You scum who are inferior to pigs and dogs! Even the bandits are more moral than you, and they are also officers and soldiers! ”

Liu Wen was so angry that he scolded, grabbed a single knife, and together with his tools, he killed this group of bandits "chirp" like chopping melons and vegetables.

Because he was too angry, he didn't remember until he killed Liu Wen that he should leave 3 living soul control souls.

Forget it, it's better to extinguish it early!

Those who descend don't kill?

Hum!

Just kidding, if it's too peaceful today, why should you recruit soldiers? Isn't this looking for death when it is passed out?

"These brutes! The common people have made you miserable! ”

Liu Wen scolded a few more words, and together with his tools, stripped off the armor and weapons of these bandits and put them in their backpacks, and dug and buried them.

After all, leaving a corpse in the open air can easily breed a plague.

By the time everything was taken care of, the sun was already very far west, and the group rode away.

Fortunately, this is the official road leading to Chang'an and Luoyang, and there will be inns every other distance, and everyone finally finds a place to rest before dark, so they don't have to sleep outside.

……

If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.

After destroying the bandits, no one ever troubled Liu Wen, and it took five days for the group to finally come to the vicinity of Chang'an.

Of course, if you run wild, you won't be able to get here in two days.

But blindly urging the horse to run fast, and there is no good bean feeding, the horse will have to lose fat after running for a day, and it will be difficult to raise it back.

Therefore, except for the eight-hundred-mile rush, or the battlefield charge, no one is generally willing to fight horses and gallop.

Chang'an, the former capital of Sui, was left over from the Han Dynasty. After nearly 400 years of war, repaired and repaired, repaired and repaired, the more money was spent, even the thrifty Emperor Wen of Sui had no choice, so 17 years ago a new city was built near Chang'an, and the Chang'an new city was named 'Daxing'.

This Gyeonggi is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and all kinds of relationships are complicated, so Liu Wen and the others did not go to Daxing, but found a cattle and horse market near the old city of Chang'an and sold all the war horses.

At this time, a war horse cost more than 9,000 yuan, which is about 36,000 yuan in later generations, and 1,000 wen can be exchanged for 1 tael of silver.

As for why none of them were left.

There's no way, the beans are not cheap, and they have to be fed at once, although they are handsome on a big horse, they can't afford to burn oil.

And this is a military horse, and if it is seen by others, it will definitely cause trouble.

……

Because of its proximity to the bazaar, Liu Wen often saw old people and children in ragged clothes, barefoot, carrying wooden sticks and carrying broken bowls, begging everywhere with little energy.

These are all people who have fled from other places.

Liu Wen sighed.

He knew that these were all leftovers, and those young men who had the strength to work had all joined the family as house slaves.

And the old, weak, sick and disabled who don't have the strength to work, grandma who doesn't hurt, and uncle who don't love can only live one more day by begging.

Liu Wen also heard that in some places, cannibalism began again.

Seeing too many of this kind of things, he was also numb, and he didn't even dare to give these homeless people.

Because as long as you show a little sympathy, the surrounding homeless people will rush up, and when the time comes, you will be surrounded by homeless people, and you can't leave if you want to.

In this world, not only ordinary people are numb, but people with compassion must also learn to numb themselves.

"Alas! The people are bitter, and when they die, the people are also bitter! ”

Liu Wen shook his head, he originally thought that he had seen too much, and he had already become hard-hearted, but he didn't expect that his eyes were still a little sour.

"Good! Well said! It seems that the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui Dynasty are really coming to an end! Ha ha! ”

The sudden cheers startled Liu Wen, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked at the person who spoke, ready to kill him......
