In the mountains of Shushan, a small building hidden among the green trees.

"My lord, then Wei Kai has already led the army from Chencang County."

"Hmm," a soft voice came from behind the beautifully decorated beaded curtains.

The small pavilion looks ordinary from a distance, but it is made of the precious dragon scale bamboo in Shu, and there is a white and transparent white jade dotted with the windows of the small building that open to the sun.

The furnishings in the house are gorgeous but not vulgar, simple but revealing a noble atmosphere. It is divided into three layers, each of which is separated by a curtain of dewdrop-sized pearls, during which the rouge of Korea, the coral of Qi, and even the white jade of Chu can be seen in the small room.

Even the table stacked with miscellaneous items in the middle of the room seems simple, but the patterns and words engraved around it seem to be characteristic of the Shang Tang period.

After the person who told the prayer retreated, the person behind the screen slowly walked out.

I saw that the person's shoulders were shaved into pieces, his waist was like a plain, his eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his jade cheeks and cherry lips, and his cheeks were two strands of hair. But he was wearing a red scholar's uniform, with a long red silk turban on his head, and holding a delicate gold fan, dressed as a noble son who came to have fun.

"Little master, this time the thief has been punished by God, and the little master can also eliminate the hatred in his heart", when the handsome boy walked out, the maid who had been serving and waiting next to him immediately appeared, and poured a glass of mellow Shu wine for the little master in front of him, while gritting his teeth and saying.

When the man heard this, he put down the white jade wine glass in his hand, gently picked up the jaw of the person who spoke with his left hand, looked straight at the big eyes of the petite and lovely maid, and then said with a smile: "My Cui'er has also grown up, and she will feel sorry for her little master."

"Little master, you bullied Cui'er again, and then Cui'er will ignore the little master...", maybe the action was too frivolous, Cui'er, who was originally wrinkled because of the whispered scolding, suddenly turned red, her big eyes were watery, and she pretended to be annoyed.

Of course, Cui'er will definitely not ignore the little master.

Thinking that when he was deeply trapped in the slave house, because his face was beautiful and he was about to be sold to an old man in his fifties as a bed warmer, it was the little master who spent money to save him, and he treated himself meticulously, Cui'er had to protect the little master well in her life, Cui'er kept thinking in her heart.

Looking at Cui'er, who had a good face in front of her, big eyes and a well-behaved face, the pretty boy also sighed in his heart.

Cui'er is also a hard-working person, her mother was originally a concubine of a rich family, but she was later toyed to death by the master's family, and her urine was sold to a slave house as property.

Perhaps it was a chance that the child he rescued on a whim brought him endless happiness. The pretty boy looked at Cui'er, who was still pretending to be annoyed, and whispered and continued to comfort, such things often happen, there is no distinction between master and servant, laughing and scolding, it is also fun.

If Wei Kai was here, he would probably be surprised. It's hard to imagine that the queen and aunt Gongsun who are high up in the slave hall will be as innocent and cute as a little girl, and her true feelings will be revealed.

You must know that every night in the slave hall, I don't know how many women from good families are played with, and how many people's wives are separated, but the princess and aunt who are clothed and fed are making money every day, gaining fame and fortune. The femme fatale is not as fierce as it, and the femme fatale is talking about Aunt Gongsun.

It turned out that Wei Kai was in the slave hall, and after teasing Gongsun Auntie in public, Gongsun Auntie held a grudge and sent people around to inquire about Wei Kai's information.

Later, when she learned that Wei Kai was a favored minister of the King of Qin, Aunt Gongsun secretly probed Wei Kai's enemy forces, wanting to take revenge on Wei Kai.

Later, I heard that the new monarch succeeded to the throne, but Wei Kai, as the confidant of the new monarch, was assigned to the remote place of Chencang to serve as the county commander.

However, this time, Gongsun Auntie came to participate in the business alliance in the southwest of Qin, and when she heard that the slave merchants in Pingnan had gathered more than 30,000 people to prepare to crusade against Chen Cang, she joined them as Gongsun Gongzi and prepared to kill Wei Kai with her own hands to vent her hatred.

Wei Kai, who rushed to Changchuan County, did not expect that his casual actions at that time would bring him such a big trouble.

Looking at the long line behind him, Wei Kai was a little worried about this crusade against the thieves.

It was not that Wei Kai was suspicious of the strength of his army, but that the emergency military situation reported three times a day on the Changchuan front showed that the current situation in Changchuan was not optimistic.

The enemy who attacked this time was about 30,000 people, while the Changchuan defenders only had more than 4,000 people.

However, fortunately, Changchuan County is surrounded by mountains on both sides, built by the water, the terrain is dangerous, the city wall is strong, and the people in the city are united to not be broken by the slave army that is full of mountains and fields and lacks large-scale siege equipment.

But after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and the incoming enemy is attacking in turn, and the defenders of Changchuan will eventually be exhausted.

Moreover, the military situation said that the enemy army has recently cut down trees and built tools everywhere, and when the enemy army is fully equipped, the advantage of the defenders of Changchuan County will be greatly reduced, and the city will be breached within reach.

"Newspaper.... General Qiyu, there are people blocking the way in front of you."

Just as Wei Kai was thinking about how the reinforcements he led should fight back and defeat the incoming enemy if the county seat of Changchuan was breached, he heard a sergeant riding a horse to report the military situation.

When he heard that there were people blocking the road, Wei Xingxing was shocked. Could it be that the county seat of Changchuan has been breached, and the people have fled here? So he hurriedly patted his horse and went to check the enemy's situation.

I saw a large group of people surrounding the vanguard of Chen Cangjun's army, blocking their horses and preventing them from leaving.

Seeing the thick-eyed and big-eyed Xizhu constantly persuading the people on the side of the road to stop the road, and constantly grabbing his face helplessly, Wei Kai felt funny, but Wei Kai was suddenly relieved.

Judging from the comfortable looks of the people gathered around and the clean clothes, it was definitely not the panicked people who fled in all directions after the city was broken.

"Hee-zhu? What's going on? Wei Kai led his war horse and walked over.

"General? Great, this is our general", Xizhu, who was still surrounded by the crowd and was not allowed to move half a step, heard someone shouting to himself, and then saw Wei Kai, who was dressed in armor and led a war horse, and was overjoyed, and pointed to Wei Kai and said to the people around.

Before Wei Kai could react, the people around him knelt down and shouted: "The villain meets the county commander."

Seeing this, Wei Kai hurriedly stepped forward to help an old man who was kneeling in front of him and saluting, and said loudly to the people around him: "Everyone hurry up, hurry up."

Then the people around slowly got up, not like the noise just now, and looked straight at Wei Kai, silent.

Wei Kai felt the eyes of the people around him, and he was also full of doubts in his heart, so he looked at the Xizhu next to him, wanting to know why the people were like this? After all, intercepting an army is a grave crime that delays the military situation, and can be punished as a felony crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Xi Zhu, who knew the side, didn't notice Wei Kai's suspicious gaze, and thought that Wei Kai was caring about himself, showing his white teeth, and smiled at Wei Kai.

It seems that the leader of the scout camp is about to change to someone with a slightly more flexible head, Wei Kai thought to himself when he saw this, and then said to the people in front of him with a smile: "Why are you all gathered here? If Wei Kai's army accidentally destroyed everyone's property, Wei Kai apologized to everyone here", and then saluted the people with fists.

"Lord of the county order, the small people can't afford it", watching Wei Kai salute himself, the low-level people, regardless of the difference between dignity and inferiority, the surrounding people were very moved in their hearts, and hurriedly refused Wei Kai's apology.

"Then I wonder why you are stopping my army here?" , After speaking, Wei Xingxing was very strange.

If his army has not done anything to infringe on the interests of the people, why are the people here? Could it be that his usual virtue is not enough to convince the people? This allowed the people to stop themselves, so as to help those clans who were in Wei Kai's eyes a disaster for the countryside.

"General, the villain is willing to follow the general to exterminate the traitors and protect the safety of my Chen Cang", a white-haired old man led by him bowed to Wei Kai.

When Wei Kai heard this, he looked at the people around him who were holding various farm tools, and his heart was suddenly moved. Hurriedly said: "This old man, just leave the crusade against the rebels to our army." Aren't we, the children of the old Qin people, determined to join the army, just to protect everyone's safety at this critical moment? ...”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the people around him say: "General, as a person of Chen Cang, I am also willing to contribute a strength to my Chen Cang, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled", so they all knelt up here.

"How can this be .....," Wei Kai said when he saw this.

"General, you pity us, we understand. The general's kindness to me in Chencang, I, the people of Chencang, understand.

But at the beginning, we were enslaved by the world like pigs and dogs, and our wives were separated. Or wander into the mountains and compete with wild beasts for food.

When the father and mother died, they were buried naked, and their clothes were taken off and passed on to their children.

The sister didn't want her family to starve, so she sold herself into a slave house and let others humiliate her, just to give her younger brother a bite to eat ..... who was waiting to be replenished", before Wei Kai finished speaking, he only listened to the choked words of several gray-haired old men kneeling in front of the crowd.

"But we didn't resist, we were like the walking dead, and we were humiliated.

Now that our children are finally able to have a bite to eat and a new coat, the thieves are here again.

The old man doesn't want our good sons to live the same life as us again, like us and others, to be slaughtered.

We want revenge, we want revenge, general", looking at the people who were hiding their faces and crying, hearing about their tragic past, Wei Xingxing was also very sad. The suffering of the people is so miserable.

So, Wei Kai collected the people on the side of the road and incorporated them into the logistics battalion to continue the march.

Before ten miles of road, there were people who came to join the army, Wei Kai continued to collect it, and then rushed to Changchuan on the way, and the people who came to join the army were endless. Wei Kai's army rose from 8,000 soldiers out of Chencang to more than 14,000 in the end.

Looking at the army of ordinary people who were high-spirited, helping the soldiers carry food and pushing carts and goods, Wei Xingxing kept sighing, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and the power of the common people must not be underestimated.
