After Chen Yan entered the city, he walked straight to Wei San'er's house with dozens of entourage.

But seeing that the door of his house was closed, and there was no response after knocking on the door for a long time, Chen Yan ordered someone to kick open the door of Wei San'er's house.

After entering the house, Chen Yan saw that the Wei family's house was empty and dark.

Chen Yan knew that Wei San'er's parents died early, and he was the only one in the family, so when he saw this scene, he knew that Wei San'er had not returned, so he turned around and wanted to go out.

When he turned around, he saw that he was stepping on something like grain under his feet, so he hurriedly ordered the lamp to be turned on.

As soon as the lights turned on, Chen Yan suddenly became angry, and saw that the Wei family's house was full of grain and corn, and half of the house was full.

The grain that had flowed from the sacks of burlap that had been bitten by the rats also dripped.

Chen Yan had a calm face and was about to go out from the Wei family, but saw a group of people hurriedly running in his direction.

Chen Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was not Wei San'er, who else would there be, he sneered, his heart was good, and he lifted the Changge in his hand, and ran towards Wei San'er who was unsuspecting and ran towards him.

"Brother Chen, you."

Wei San'er had blood flowing from his mouth, and he looked at Chen Yan in disbelief while holding his belly that had been pierced by Chang Ge with both hands.

He said diligently: "Those grain, grain dealers, there is, there are frauds. ”

So saying, he lay down on his head and fell to the ground.

Chen Yan didn't hear what Wei San'er said clearly at all, he was already stunned by anger at this moment, he carried Chang Ge and said "kill" to the dozens of people who came with Wei San'er, and rushed forward with Chang Ge.

......

Early the next morning, Zhu Lihua sat on the Baishui County Yashang, looking coldly at the dozens of people kneeling on the ground.

These were the leaders of the rebel soldiers in the city, large and small.

Last night, when the 300 soldiers hiding in the grain cart and the "grain dealers" escorting the "grain and grass" attacked together, they took control of the Baishui City Gate in less than a moment.

And when more than 7,000 troops entered the city, they were surprised to find that the rebels in the city seemed to be fighting.

The rebels in the infighting first ignored the officers and soldiers who were watching the battle, and when one group defeated the other, the remaining soldiers realized that the officers and soldiers had controlled the four gates, and they were captured in despair.

When Lihua and the others found out the cause of the fight in the city, everyone looked at the unattractive Liang Gu and laughed.

Only Liang Gu himself didn't expect that when he just wanted to trick Chen Yan into stabbing the sixth car full of weapons, he casually made up a reason, which caused a fire in the city, and he was embarrassed to laugh.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, they had already arrived in a dense forest in the north of Whitewater City, and they only waited for sunset and darkness before going to Whitewater City.

And these grains and grasses are all food in the army, and they are not too far from Whitewater City.

At sunset, a spy spotted Wei San'er and his party heading north along the official road.

At that time, Liang Gu also happened to see that the leader of the rebel army going north was the little leader surnamed Wei who he met at the Baishui City Gate some time ago.

So last night, he was in a hurry to make up a lie about bribing Wei San'er.

Looking at the more than forty people kneeling in front of him, Zhu Lihua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he also understood that if it wasn't for the oppression he had been subjected to for a long time, these people would still be hard-working farmers or merchants, and how would they dare to be thieves.

Moreover, the leaders of the rebels, except for a few ruffians, are some wealthy families with quite solid backgrounds.

"Your treason is unforgivable, but I don't want to kill again, so the sin will not harm your family.

Go with confidence. ”

After saying this, some of the dozens of people kneeling immediately began to cry, and the rest of the people were also like ashes, kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

Zhu Lihua glared at Niu Yong, who was about to laugh beside him, and was so frightened that Niu Yong immediately straightened his face.

After a while, those kneeling on the ground cried for a long time, but they all found that the expected soldiers and executioners did not appear beside them, so they stopped crying one after another, and looked at the black young man above them suspiciously.

Seeing that the eyes of these kneeling leaders returned to their clear color, Zhu Lihua said aloud:

"Although I don't know why you are crying, I think you must have seen Master Qin's majesty and regretted your past.

Otherwise, I just let you go down first, but you can't stop crying, why is this? ”

After saying this, the kneeling leaders still didn't understand what Lu Lihua meant. Then they kowtowed their heads and shouted: "I regret waiting, I waited wrong." ”

"My lord spares my life, I am blinded by lard and confused."

"My lord, I was coerced into being a traitor, not by intention, and I have never killed anyone."

Zhu Lihua rubbed the snorting braincase that was noisy, raised his hand and waved it to signal everyone to be quiet, and then the corners of his mouth had some smiles, and he said softly:

"Do you want to live or die?"

……

Quwo is located in the north of the right of Yuan, to the north through the corner of Baishui County is the Tongtong County, 60 miles away to the west is the county seat of Baishui, and the east is to intersect with the Suibei City and Chaopu County of Qinlan County.

Quwo County is hilly and mountainous, so when Xuchang was occupied, the two kings retreated to Quwo County with the main force of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Quwoben County took advantage of the mountainous terrain to thwart Yongyunqi's attack attempts many times.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration that this county is called impregnable by the two kings.

More importantly, the family of the recently deceased Great Qin God of War and Zuo Geng Fang Yuanheng is in this county.

Although Fang Yuanheng's fief was in Xia Zhong County, it was a fief that Fang Yuanheng himself had exchanged for countless military exploits. However, his ancestors were originally sealed in Quwo County by the founding monarch of Great Qin.

There is the ancestral house of the Fang family in this county, in addition to the ancestral house in Hexi, there is also the Fangjia Mansion that is larger than the county seat Xuchang Mansion in the whole Hexi County, called Wuying Palace, and the Wenhua Hall of Suibei City is called the second hall of Wenwu in Daqin.

When it was prosperous, these two halls controlled all the soldiers, horses, money and food of Great Qin.

At that time, those strategic orders that affected the lifeblood and future trend of Great Qin were all issued from these two halls.

Compared with the Xuanwu Hall of Great Qin, these two halls seem to be more important in the minds of the nobles of the Qin State.

Of course, this situation also stopped after the eastward invasion of the Rong people.

In any case, the Wuying Hall was once incomparably glorious, so much so that after the rebels killed the slaves and servants of the Fang family who didn't have time to run, they still left a few elderly people behind, allowing them to continue to take care of the Fang family's ancestral hall.

None of the rebels who were flying and domineering dared to live in the Wuying Palace.

Far away from the Wuying Palace, there is a government office, which is the place where the Quwo County Commander once lived and worked, and it is also the residence of the heads of the Quwo rebels.

Quwo was fierce, even if it was a rebellion, the countless rebels were not convinced by each other, so they formed three larger forces after fighting each other, which were led by Li Wei, Gao Si, and Hu Mulezi.

In order to avoid infighting, the three came up with a way to worship as brothers with different surnames.

After the second king went south to Xuchang City, he took away the eldest brother of the three, Li Wei, and left the senior and Hu Muzi to take care of the city.

At this moment, the two were arguing for a long time about transporting grain and grass to Xu Chang.

is different from the unconditional obedience of the senior high school to the second king, but Hu Mule never takes the second king of Xu Changcheng in his eyes.

When Na Ma Er came to Quwo with more than 20,000 defeated soldiers, he persuaded Gao Si and Li Wei to get rid of Ma Er, but they were rejected by the two on the grounds that it was not appropriate to resist the Qin soldiers and infighting.

Finally, he was looking forward to Ma Er leading the troops south, and just after a few days, he learned that Ma Er was urging them to eat food, which made Hu Muzi more and more dissatisfied.

Therefore, when he saw several leaders of Baishui City coming to him in person last night and saying that Chen Yan did not want to send grain to Xu Chang, he made up his mind not to deliver grain and grass to Xu Chang.

When arguing with Gao Si, his reason was that there were as many as 80,000 people in Quwo, and the people in the city were consuming more and more food every day, and if they sent food to Xuchang, the people would be hungry.

And the senior also made it clear to Hu Muzi that only unconditionally supporting Xu Chang to defeat the Qin army in the south can ensure the safety of Quwo.

The two argued for a long time, and when they saw that no one could convince anyone, they broke up unhappily.

In the afternoon of the same day, outside the east gate of Quwo County, hundreds of people galloped away on horseback, but they saw that the person in charge was Hu Mule.

They had traveled ten miles east, and when they came to a small spring in the middle of a dense forest, they stopped.

"Hu Tou is really a trustworthy person, don't worry, Chen Tou promised your plan, there will be no fraud."

As soon as everyone dismounted, they saw more than a dozen people coming out of the forest, and the first one of them said to the mule.

Hu Muzi knew that these people were the rebel leaders who came to Whitewater City yesterday to find him.

"If it weren't for the fact that our brothers had carried Changge to the battlefield together, I wouldn't have believed that you would do such a thing.

You Chen Tou people are too bold. ”

The mule frowned as he spoke, as if he was afraid of being seen by others, and looked around.

"Rest assured, we have sent our brothers to keep guard along the road. Although the senior year of high school has some eyes, he will not doubt that the bearded people will join forces with us. ”

The people on the side were obviously quite familiar with the mule, and patted the mule on the back and preached.

"Having said that, the stakes are very high, and we have to think about it in the long run. Besides, why didn't you Chen Tou people come, but let you come here to consult with me.

I'm afraid he wants me to be this bird, so hide myself. ”

Hu Mule said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hu Touren, Brother Hu, you are also the lord of a county, you can't figure this out?

If my Chen Touren could come, they would have come a long time ago, but Wei San'er secretly voted for the second king, so Chen Touren was afraid that he would see it, so he could only stay in Baishui County. ”

"Alas, when I was in Xuchang, I saw that Wei San'er and Ma Er and others were quite close, and in private Ma Er also called Wei San'er the third brother, at that time I advised your Chen Tou people to guard against that guy, but I was scolded by your Chen Tou people, look, I guessed it."

Speaking of this, the bearded mule also showed a look of not listening to people's persuasion and deserving of suffering.

"Yes, yes, don't Chen Touren regret it now. He asked the little one to meet with you, saying that if you bring up this matter again, he will say that he is wrong, and apologize to you, and you will ignore the villain, and don't remember this matter again. ”

The man looked cautious and said to the bearded mule with a dissatisfied look on his face.
