On a high platform in Jinjiazhuang Fort City, Qian Zong Du Shaoru was sitting at a table of eight immortals, drinking tea on Erlang's legs, with a calm and even leisurely expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Shaoru was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a well-maintained white face and a very neatly trimmed beard, and at first glance, he really did not look like a soldier, but more like a small rich man or a businessman.

If Du Shaoru can be promoted to the general manager of thousands of households, it all depends on the relationship between Du Shi under the command of the dragon gate guard. Du Shi, his own uncle, has no children, so he attaches great importance to and loves this nephew, and it is precisely because of this that Du Shaoru, who has no military temperament, can continue to fake military merits, and finally rose to the position of Qianzong.

From time to time, he raised his glass to drink himself, but he was actually resentful in his heart.

He had been here for two weeks, but no food had been delivered. Originally, the subordinates and soldiers who were short of food and salary, but rushed to garrison them urgently, because of this, people's hearts fluctuated, and rumors spread.

Du Shaoru knew that due to the fall of the main fort, the grain stored by the Longmen guards was either robbed by the Tartars or destroyed by fire. But he didn't expect that the commander Du Shi would not send someone to send food to himself like an adopted son, which he had always been pampered and arrogant, and he felt resentful from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Du Shaoru blamed Du Shi by mistake, because just a few days ago, Du Shi finally mobilized 100 stone of grain, so he hurriedly sent someone to Jinjiazhuang Fort, but he didn't expect that Fang was intercepted by a team of Tartars halfway through. All the people who transported the grain were captured by the Tartars, so Du Shaoru did not get any news.

Although Du Shaoru is incompetent, it does not mean that he is a fool.

Seeing that the soldiers might be worried about mutiny because of the extreme shortage of food and wages, Du Shao gave the following order to plunder the people of Jinjiazhuang Fort on the spot and snatch the surplus grain in the hands of the people.

Of course, while grabbing food, those soldiers who finally found an opportunity to vent were all kinds of traitors. There are also many cases of adulterous women enriching their own pockets. For these situations, of course, Du Shaoru will only turn a blind eye.

In the three streets and ten alleys of the entire fort, the people were crying and wailing, the women were screaming, and the soldiers were laughing and shouting wildly, these voices were mixed together, but they did not disturb Du Shaoru's interest in drinking tea at all.

He had nothing to worry about. There is no food in the army, everything is not mentioned, Du Shaoru is sure that he has done this, and even if he wants to track down Du Shi in the future, he will only do it and will not investigate it deeply.

It was that Wei Zhen who hated Anqian, and repeatedly begged him not to come nonsense. Du Shaoru was as angry as he was, and simply arranged for him and the remaining forty or so local soldiers under him to guard the fort gate, so that they could not be out of sight and out of mind.

Du Shaoru himself, also took a fancy to a woman who was quite attractive.

After holding back in this Jinjiazhuang Fort for two weeks, Du Shaoru, who used to have a beautiful wife and concubine, was uncomfortable, and the things under his crotch were even more impatient. Now that he has this opportunity, how can he only let his soldiers be happy, and his own master will just sit on the sidelines. Anyway, I have to find a woman to vent my anger and be happy.

He just pointed his finger at the woman, and Hu Mao, the captain of the family, understood the master's thoughts, and walked towards the woman with a wicked smile on his face.

The woman was pulled by Hu Mao and the others, and then dragged to Du Shaoru's place.

"Official, save me! Officials save me! ”

The woman wailed loudly and struggled, but could not break free. Her husband, on the other hand, hugged Hu Mao's leg tightly and begged him to let his wife go, but was kicked to the ground by Hong Mao.

"The little one is willing to ask the military master to let my daughter-in-law go, and the little one kowtows to the military master." The woman's husband hurriedly got up from the ground, stopped in front of Xu Mao, and kowtowed.

"Get out! It is your daughter-in-law's honor for the general to fall in love with your daughter-in-law, and if you serve my family well, maybe you will be rewarded with a few taels of silver. If you are no longer interested, don't be afraid that Lao Tzu will use the knife! Xu Mao shouted angrily.

The man didn't follow, he hugged the calf of an entourage soldier again, and pleaded loudly, the soldier was angry, pulled out his waist knife, and cut the person's throat with a knife!

Seeing her husband clutching his bloody throat and struggling to die like this, the woman was so frightened that she screamed and fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, Xu Mao looked indifferent, he scolded the man's corpse, and still dragged the fainted woman to the high platform where Du Shaoru was sitting.

Du Shaoru, who was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals on the high platform, saw this human tragedy from a distance, and he didn't care at all. At this point, he was pulled to the brim by the name. The woman with her breasts half exposed was firmly attracted, and her eyes were full of lewdness. Dangzhise, and even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva impatiently.

At this moment, there was a rush of horses' hooves from the entrance of the fort gate.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in the fort who were making trouble were not stunned.

"What's going on?!"

Du Shaoru stood up from the chair and shouted loudly to Xu Mao, who was also stunned.

Without waiting for Xu Mao to answer, Du Shaoru was shocked to see that a group of ironclad cavalry rushed away from those soldiers who did not open their eyes and did not have time to dodge, and rushed straight towards their high platform!

"Mr. Qian, be careful!"

Xu Mao threw down the woman and strode towards Du Shaoru's side to escort her.

At this time, after these cavalry rushed into the fort, the infantry of the brigade also followed into the streets.

These neatly armored infantrymen, while running and marching, shouted in unison: "Lord Li Qianhu has an order, stop looting quickly, and violators will be beheaded immediately!" ”

Li Qianhu?

Where did this person come from, and how did he dare to act like this?

Du Shaoru's mind was in chaos.

Seeing these Li Xiaojun infantry marching neatly and shouting loudly, with an awe-inspiring aura of steel, Du Shaoru's soldiers, who were originally clamoring for looting, were all like balloons punctured by needles, and there was no longer the arrogance just now, and many people were stunned.

The people in the fort, who were already in despair, saw this sudden change, and everyone looked in disbelief. The people who had escaped the catastrophe, like the soldiers, stood still.

"Phew!"

A group of people with heavy armor and heavy armor rode heavily and rushed to Du Shaoru, Fang Xuanxuan strangled the horse's hooves, and frightened Du Shaoru, who was already panicked, to turn pale.

"This official is Mr. Du Qian, who is coming, how dare he be so presumptuous!" Du Shaoru came back to his senses, wiped a handful of frightened sweat on his face, and couldn't help but shout.

On the opposite side, a handsome young man wearing white fang-like armor and a high tasseled helmet heard him shouting like this, Fang jumped off the horse in a hurry, tapped his palm with a horsewhip with one hand, and replied with a sneer: "Oh, it turns out that you are the President Du Qian." Li Xiao, the general manager of the next thousand households, is the soldiers and horses of Shandong who came to aid Jinjiazhuang, so he has seen Du Qianzong. ”

Du Shaoru saw Li Xiao casually make a bow, and when he heard his words teasing, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "Li Xiao, you are a supreme official, you dare to be so presumptuous!" How unreasonable is that! ”

"Oh, it turns out that Li was a little negligent, and you were so angry, so the people of the whole fort were taken captive and raped by your soldiers like this. Lewdness, what is wrong with them to make Lord Du so angry, so that they want to be so ruthless? ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking with a sneer, Du Shaoru's lips trembled with anger.

"You, you 。。。。。。"

Du Shaoru was so angry that before he finished speaking, Li Xiao said coldly: "Pass my military order, all the soldiers who are in rebellion, immediately disarm and surrender, and then bring them here, the official will interrogate them on the spot, and if they do not obey, they will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Order!"

Soon, Du Shaoru's soldiers were scolded and pushed by Li Xiaojun, and they were escorted to the high platform one by one.

These guys, who were arrogant and fierce to the people like death, faced Li Xiaojun's neat rows of spiked shields, rows of snow-bright 4-meter spears, and flying harrier light horses shouting everywhere, all wilted like frosted eggplants, and surrendered one after another.

There were only a few blind guys who tried to escape in vain, and they were immediately stabbed in the heart by the roaring four-meter steel spear.

Seeing that his own soldiers were so useless, they were disarmed by Li Xiao almost bloodlessly so quickly, Du Shaoru was furious.

He clenched his fists and shouted at Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, what right do you have to deal with our army like this!" You are guilty of the following, you are unofficial, you are plotting。。。。。。 ”

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of a horsewhip made Du Shaoru have no time to say the reverse word in his mouth, and at the same time, a hideous blood mark immediately appeared on his white face.

"Damn, tell you a lot of nonsense! One more word, grandpa, I'll knock your dog's teeth out! Tian Wei, the chief of General A next to him, put away the blood-stained horsewhip and shouted at him threateningly.

Du Shaoru is almost dizzy, damn, Lao Tzu has never suffered such a big loss since he was a child, so people can whip his face with a horsewhip in public like this!

"Li Xiao, Lao Tzu is fighting with you!"

His neck was red, and he rushed over to Li Xiao.

Tian Wei shouted, swept his legs, and kicked Du Shaoru in the chest, Du Shaoru spurted out a mouthful of dirty blood, fell to the ground, and couldn't move anymore.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you dogs into the Shandong soldiers and horses, it's really fucking opposite。。。。。。" Du Shaoru cried with a sad face, and his mouth was still muttering.

At this time, Li Xiao didn't bother to look at him, he moved Du Shaoru's chair, sat on it, and shouted at the frightened Du Shaoru soldiers below: "You tell this official, who ordered the kidnapping of the people!" ”

The soldiers looked at Li Xiao with thick eyebrows and angry eyes, and then looked at Du Shaoru who was standing next to him with a sad face, many people were muttering, but they didn't dare to speak.

"Why, don't say it! When people came, each of them beat twenty military sticks. Li Xiao said lightly.

Hearing Li Xiao's order, the soldiers of Du Shaoru's army below immediately boiled like boiling water.

"My lord, Master Li, I said, I said! It was Lord Du who ordered the little ones to snatch the money and food! ”

"Master Li! It was Lord Du who issued a military order to grab the people's food, the military order is above, how dare you not listen to it. ”

"My lord, Lord Du asked the little ones to do it, and the little ones didn't have the same intention."

。。。。。。

Soldiers, you say a word, I say a word, and they have revealed that it is Du Shaoru's military order. Seeing his subordinates pouring out of themselves like this, Du Shaoru's face turned red with anger.

"Mr. Du Qian, in this way, it was you who gave the military order to let these soldiers rob the people's property?" Li Xiao patted the horsewhip in his hand with an unpredictable smile on his face.

"Li Xiao! You don't come here to be a big-tailed wolf. Lao Tzu told you the truth, it was really because of the lack of food in the army and the delay in the delivery of food and salaries, our military had no choice but to temporarily borrow the people's food to tide over the difficulties. ”

Du Shaoru shouted loudly, but Li Xiao smiled contemptuously on his face.

"Oh, it turns out that there is no military rations, so I have to borrow it from the people like this, this is a good reason." Li Xiao raised his head and smiled, and suddenly, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and then he sighed: "Then let me ask you, such cruel and vicious treatment of the people is what you call temporary borrowing?" Such a treacherous. Adulterous women even kill people, which is what you call temporary borrowing?! ”

Li Xiao's voice became louder and louder, filled with an irrepressible anger: "Such cruelty and viciousness to the people, such a treacherous treatment. Lewd and plundering, such murder and murder, what is the difference between my Ming officials and soldiers and those beasts and tartars who have lost their conscience! What kind of face do you have to claim to be a dignified king! ”

Li Xiao's words rolled through the castle like thunder, and the audience was solemn. The soldiers of Du Shaoru's army under the high stage trembled and bowed their heads, not daring to look at Li Xiao's angry expression anymore.

In the distance, the people huddled together to watch watched with inexplicable excitement on their faces, watching the young and handsome commander on the high platform talk. Every word and sentence Li Xiao said seemed to have a spring breeze blowing through the hearts of these people who were struggling to survive in the war-torn world.

Wei Zhen, who took his more than 40 fort soldiers to pacify An Qian, heard Li Xiao's conversation, and even more tears welled up in his eyes, and he muttered: "This is my Ming official army, this is my Ming official army。。。。。。 ”

"Pass on my general order, Du Shaoru, as an official, set up troops to plunder the people, and he was supposed to be beheaded on the spot, but he was a relative of the commander and the envoy, and it was to raise food and wages, so he was spared for the time being, and beat twenty military sticks to set an example!"

Li Xiao shouted. Immediately, several sergeants rushed over, pressed Du Shaoru on the spot, pulled off his pants, and snapped his military sticks.

Du Shaoru wailed heartbreakingly, and everyone watching in the audience couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"Li Xiao, you bastard! This official will report truthfully to Lord Du, and he will definitely behead your dog! Ouch, ouch。。。。。。 Du Shaoru's face was blood-red, and he was forced to the ground and beaten, and he scolded indistinctly.

Hearing Du Shaoru's threatening words, Li Xiao looked into the distance expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Not long after, after the beating of the twenty military sticks, Du Shaoru was like the original white buttocks, dripping with blood and miserable.

At this time, he was especially embarrassed, because of the pain and struggle, the neatly trimmed beard had worn off a lot on the ground, and his face was covered with mud and blood.

Xu Mao, the captain of the family next to him, saw the tragic situation of his master, and suddenly looked sad with a rabbit and a fox, he looked at Li Xiao cautiously, and after asking for his consent, Fang carefully helped Du Shaoru to the side.

The soldiers under the high platform saw that their generals were beaten so humiliated, and they were all even more frightened and silent.

Li Xiao's voice sounded coldly from the high platform again.

"There were only those who killed people, and after being identified by the people, they were all taken to the front!"

Soon, about fifteen or sixteen soldiers were immediately identified by the people and taken under the high platform.

The soldier Du Shaoru, who had just killed the woman's husband, was also identified by the woman who woke up and was dragged to the bottom of the high platform like a dead dog.

"Pass on the general's order, and behead these murderers!"

Li Xiao's voice was without any emotion.

"Order!"

"Spare your life, my lord! It's just a moment of confusion! Ask the adults to give the little one a chance to atone for their sins。。。。。。 Hearing Li Xiao's order, all the soldiers who committed the crime knelt on the ground one after another, begging for mercy.

"Slash!"

There was a clattering sound of severing the neck bones, sixteen names fell to the ground, and the blood gushing from the neatly broken necks was mixed with the heavy afterglow of the setting sun, making the whole scene even more terrifying.

A foul smell suddenly spread, and many of Du Shaoru's soldiers were frightened.

A group of family members of the victims, including the woman, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, while thanking Li Xiao for avenging the deceased.

Next, Li Xiao ordered that those who had committed adultery be punished. The soldiers who committed the crime of adultery were identified by the victim, and each of them was beaten with fifty sticks.

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the more than 40 soldiers who were escorted to the field were relieved to see that Li Xiao would spare his life, and they all expressed their willingness to be punished.

After these 50 beatings, no one could get up, so Li Xiao ordered to wait for his soldiers to be dragged back to the camp to rest.

Li Xiao's repression finally came to an end.

The rest of the panicked rabbits and other Du Shaoru soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, thanking Li Xiao for his kindness.

It's just that everyone's ears can hear Li Xiao's majestic voice resounding in the fort like thunder: "From now on, this official will be the supreme commander of Jinjiazhuang Fort. From now on, you must obey the orders of our army, and if anyone does not obey, you will not be spared! ”、

The audience was silent and silent.

Li Xiao looked around the soldiers under the high platform with a suppressed gaze, and shouted: "This official's words, have you heard them clearly!" ”

"Hear me!"

"Remember!"

"Remember!"

If Du Shaoru's soldiers were amnesty, everyone shouted hoarsely, for fear that Li Xiao would not hear it.
