Chapter 321: How can the Qi people be so miserable
Looking at the defense map, the eyes of the generals in the camp became eager.
Wang Si took the lead in speaking: "Commander, this is a great achievement in opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and we must keep the Jiangling Ferry." ”
Zhao Wu also spoke: "Commander, order, I will lead the army to go up, and I must keep the land north of the Qingjiang River." ”
Inside the tent, the atmosphere suddenly became eager.
The warriors were the most eager to expand the territory, and now they see a large area of land, how can they be self-sustaining.
Zhou Yuan struggled a little: "This is the land of Qi State, if the Qi people come to seize it and provoke the border, if our country cannot be a Qi army, then ......." ”
Su Lu waved his hand, "If you want to eat meat, you have to have the strength of two arms, how can you do it if you want to expand your territory without paying a price." ”
"Pass my military order, Su Ping, you lead a cavalry army of the guard camp first, and you must rush to the Jiangling ferry within three hours, fortify along the ferry, and strictly prevent the Qi army from crossing the river."
"Cao Hua, you lead an army, go along the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, sweep the garrison of the Yiying Qi army on the north bank of the Qingjiang River, try not to cause casualties, and mainly persuade to surrender, the people here are all the people of our Han Kingdom."
"Zhao Wu, you lead an army, go along the lower reaches of the Qing River, sweep the downstream Qi army, and also focus on persuasion."
"Everyone, prepare to move the camp and move to Jiangling."
Soon, the Han army was opened, Su Ping led the army first, and the cavalry of a guard battalion went first, heading straight to the Jiangling ferry.
Cao Hua and Zhao Wu also set off one after another to sweep the upper and lower reaches of the Qingjiang River.
Before leaving, the heralds scattered, and several teams of heralds transmitted the information to the capital that the Han army had defeated the Qi army and occupied a hundred miles of land north of the Qingjiang River.
The vanguard of the army marched out, and everywhere along the way, there was no mistake in autumn.
When the Sulu army passed again, the people hiding in the villages along the way began to pop up.
As the procession passed through a village, the front army suddenly stopped.
When Su Lu was puzzled, a captain hurriedly ran over.
"Commander, there are village women in the front army blocking the road and asking our army to return their daughters."
Su Lu's face changed, could it be that when Su Ping's army passed by, he robbed the daughter of a good family?
"Lead the way."
Su Lu's face was a little dark, and at the same time, he was a little excited in his heart, could it be that Su Ping met the woman he liked, this is a great thing, of course, the behavior is not advisable, and it must be punished.
When the carriage approached, Su Lu saw the woman who was blocking the way.
Five short figures, gray hair, a coarse cloth shirt and skirt, stopped in the middle of the road, crying.
"You people, return my daughter."
"My miserable son, what should I do if you die."
"You Give My Daughter Back"
Su Lu instructed Qingfeng next to him: "Go, ask her if the woman in her family was robbed by Su Ping's people?" ”
Qingfeng jumped out of the carriage, crouched down next to the woman, and asked in a gentle tone.
Qingfeng's words in the Guangnan dialect quickly made the woman relax her vigilance, and after some questioning, Qingfeng's face darkened.
"It wasn't our guards who did it."
Qingfeng reported to Su Lu and said: "Listening to his description, it should be done by Qi Jun, this group of pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, and even their own people are robbed." ”
Su Lu was a little disappointed when he heard this, he was not snatched away by Su Ping, this ...... White was happy.
The woman who blocked the road figured out the situation, and the whole person was stupid, this was not the Qi army, but the army of the country in the north, and she was half dead in fright and shrank aside.
The carriage stopped next to the woman, and Su Lu motioned to Qingfeng to take a few steamed buns to the woman, and asked like a homely person:
"Auntie, are you and your daughter the only ones left in your family?"
The woman took the steamed bun and swallowed it in two bites, and then swallowed one in two bites.
Su Lu hurriedly asked the guard to hand over the water bag, and the old lady was choked to death before she could eat enough.
After drinking a few sips of water, the old lady ate half of the steamed bun in her hand, carefully wrapped the remaining half in a cloth, and put it in her bag, her face full of satisfaction.
Qingfeng asked the woman and said, "Auntie, are you the only one left in your family, and what about the others?" ”
When the woman heard Qingfeng's question, her face turned bitter, and tears flowed from her eyes.
Wiping a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes, the woman choked up and said, "Hey, isn't there still my mother and daughter who depend on each other, and the old man is infected with Fushou ointment and eats up the family property." ”
"The son ate the Fushou ointment, sold his daughter-in-law and little grandchildren, and finally put himself in."
"I was left with an orphan and a widow, barely relying on two acres of thin land to survive, and my daughter was taken away by the soldiers of the godsend."
Qingfeng secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Auntie, yesterday's Han-Qi battle, the Han army defeated the Qi army in the north, and captured countless Qi troops, you can go over there and ask, maybe there is your daughter." ”
When the old lady heard this, she got up with her hands and feet, and strode northward to find her daughter.
Qingfeng's eyes were red, and he asked Su Lu and said, "Master, you are a nobleman, can you make it convenient for the old lady to see if her daughter is still alive in the army, so that her mother and daughter can be reunited." ”
Su Lu casually commanded.
After the team marched for a while, it was completely dark, and after selecting a site to set up camp, the villagers on the left surrounded them, watching the guards set up camp with their eyes.
As night fell, the smell of food wafted in the camp, and the guards began to eat.
The villagers outside the camp were lying on the wall of the camp, through the fence, greedily watching the guards eating.
Wang Si threw two steamed buns out, which immediately caused a commotion, and after a period of noise, the two little dolls sat on the ground and cried, their thin arms and legs were covered with blood.
The guards who were eating were stunned, looking at the thin dolls, a few guards who begged their mothers immediately couldn't stand it, threw down their rice bowls, pulled out their waist knives and left the camp.
Ma Ping, who was carrying a knife, thought of his little nephew.
Before the prince came out, he was not a soldier, and the few acres of thin fields at home were not enough to survive, and the little nephew was often hungry, and his arms and legs were as thin as this little baby.
Later, he joined the army, paid more silver and rewarded silver, and the life of the family gradually improved, the last time he rested, when he went home, the little nephew had grown a tiger's head, and the family's field was several acres more, enough to feed the family.
With the prince here, even if he dies, the eldest brother and father will be able to support the family.
I didn't expect Qi to have such a miserable image.
Ma Ping put the steel knife on the neck of the man who grabbed the steamed bun, and scolded viciously:
"Mother, dog thief, you can do it with such a small baby, Lao Tzu cut off your head."
The man didn't care about Ma Ping at all, and the other man who grabbed the steamed bun also didn't care about Ma Ping's robe, just gobbling up the steamed bun, as if the next moment his head was divided, and he was going to eat the steamed bun.
"Mother, Lao Tzu cut off your turtle grandson."
The fourth elder of the robe Zeha waved the knife in his hand.
Ma Ping snatched the knife and said: "He is hungry, hungry people are like this, you have never been hungry, you don't know what it tastes like." ”
"Hey, why are the Qi people so miserable!"
