After a day's fighting, the exhausted sergeants of the Pioneer Battalion complained a lot about gathering them in the middle of the night in the school yard, and the crowd began to whisper and gradually turned into a buzzing curse. When the two teams of cavalry holding torches surrounded Pingzhang Han Ziming and came to the center of the school field, the buzzing and invective gradually stopped.

Han Ziming looked around at everyone with a cold gaze, held up a blank piece of paper in his hand, and said loudly: "According to the secret order of the Ministry of War, Guo Kunyu, the commander of the vanguard battalion, risked the army's salary, delayed the fighter plane, suppressed the bandits slack, and commanded incompetently. As a result, banditry was rampant and our army suffered a crushing defeat. From now on, the military power will be entrusted to Fuyasu Pingzhang, and he will be escorted to the county government for questioning. ”

There was a deathly silence in the crowd at first, and then a moment later it exploded with a "boom".

The two generals, who were usually very close to Guo Kunyu, pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, pushed aside the crowd and came out, and asked loudly: "Han Pingzhang, where did you get our Guo Dashuai?" Today's new defeat, the secret order of the military department has arrived, this is too fast, right? We suspect fraud, can we see the secret order of the military department with our own eyes?! ”。

A strange smile appeared on Han Ziming's face, and he replied calmly: "It's okay, please come up and watch." ”

The two generals strode forward majestically and puffily, oblivious to the movements of the torch-bearing retinue on either side of the road. Less than five steps away from Han Ziming's mount, two black shadows suddenly jumped out of the crowd holding torches, and their hands fell with knives, and the two generals didn't snort, and two bloody heads rolled down to Han Ziming's feet.

"Does anyone else want to see the secret order?" Han Ziming glanced at everyone in the field with sharp eyes, and everyone was silent, all of them were stunned by the scene that had just happened.

"Well, I now proclaim a few decrees: 1. Whoever harasses the people and robs the goods, shall be beheaded; 2. Those who do not listen to the generals and flee from the battle will be beheaded; Three 、------"

Guan Yu led a group of men and horses, under the leadership of Cui Dakui and other people familiar with the environment, to run from village to village to collect grain. Even after passing through several villages, I saw a figure of a man with a red scarf beating a horse and running, and it turned out that it was not only their team of men and horses who were sent to collect grain. In desperation, they had no choice but to run to a village farther away from the base camp.

In the early afternoon, as I approached a village, I saw smoke billowing from afar, and heard the sound of a woman crying miserably. Guan Yu frowned, and lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, speeding up his march. rushed to the front, but saw a strong man with a red scarf on his upper body, kicked down a woman who was constantly struggling and crying, snatched the small cloth bag in her arms, and scolded and scolded in his mouth.

Guan Yu was furious, pointed his gun at the door of the strong man's face, and shouted: "Put it down for me!" ”

The strong man looked back and was stunned, and when he saw that it was his own person, his tense muscles relaxed again, and he twisted his neck absently.

Guan Yu slapped a shot heavily on the strong man's back, and a thick beam of blood suddenly swollen there, and the strong man almost fell down. After standing firmly, he yelled at Guan Yu with a red head and a swollen face: "What do you want to do? ”

Guan Yu stared at him coldly: "Didn't you hear what I said?" What about the leader of your group? ”

Hearing this, a few war horses rushed out of the street corner, and a yellow-faced man in the center grabbed the reins of the horse, looked Guan Yu up and down a few times, and said with his fists clenched: "Commander Guan, the younger brother's surname is Mu, and he is also a commander under Brother Zhai." But I don't know how my brothers have offended Commander Guan? ”

Guan Yu raised his head and glanced at the people who came, and there had been a photo in the camp of the Red Turban Army. He raised his hand in vain and returned the salute and said, "Commander Mu, did you connive at your subordinates to rob the people's property?" ”

Commander Mu was stunned when he heard this, turned his face to the strong man and shouted, "Don't return it yet!" The strong man turned a deaf ear, just stared at Guan Yu with hateful eyes. Commander Mu turned his face and said to Guan Yu with a smile: "Commander Guan doesn't know, the big boss has announced the ban for seven days yesterday. ”

Guan Yu sneered: "Is the ban just for you to rob the people wantonly?" What is the difference between this and the bandits in the mouths of the officers and soldiers?! He turned his face and asked Cui Dakui and the others: "Is there such a thing?" Cui Dakui was embarrassed and silent, just nodded slightly.

Commander Mu smiled proudly: "If Commander Guan has any questions, you can go back to the camp directly and ask the big leader in person!" Guan Yutie's face was blue, and without saying a word, he turned the horse and left, and Cui Dakui and the others hurriedly urged the horse to chase after him.

Walking out for two miles, the sullen Guan Yu suddenly reined in the horse's reins, turned to everyone and said: "I don't care what others do, if you have someone who dares to burn, kill and loot, harass the people, and rape women of good families, I will not forgive you!" ”

A young lieutenant stammered: "But--- but--Commander Guan, how can we collect food if we don't fight or kill?" Guan Yu ignored it, turned around and whipped the horse away.

In the second half of the morning they arrived at a larger, more remote village, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of a gong, and then from behind the trees rushed out a dozen or so stupid villagers, armed with clubs and steel knives, and looked at them without saying a word and with hostility.

Cui Dakui, who was sitting firmly on the horse, couldn't help but laugh and shouted, "Idiot, don't you see that we are the Red Turban Army?" ”

One of the villagers replied angrily: "What Red Turban Army, who knows if you are thieves or bandits?" When everyone heard this, they were furious, and they drew their swords one after another, just waiting for Guan Yu to give an order to kill the general.

"Slow down!" With a shout, a panting goatee middle-aged man ran up from behind the crowd, with white skin, sweating profusely, and dressed in silk and satin.

The goatee came closer, bowed his hand, panted and laughed: "They are all rough people in the mountains and wilderness, they can't speak, and if they are offended, I hope that all the military masters will bear with them." In the patriarch of the lower clan, please move to the shelter, drink a cup of herbal tea to quench your thirst, and you can discuss anything in the long run. Guan Yu nodded, the villagers got out of the way, and Guan Yu and his party swaggered into the village with the goatee.

The group came to a large mansion in the middle of the village, and the goatee ran up the steps in three steps and two steps, pushed open the heavy door with both hands, and turned back and smiled and made a gesture of please. Guan Yu nodded and motioned for the others to stay outside the door, and only took Cui Dakui and a few others to stride up the steps.

When I entered the door, I bypassed a screen more than one person high, but I saw that the courtyard suddenly opened up, flowers and plants flourished, and butterflies and bees flew. Facing the screen is a large living room with bright and clean windows, and it is spotless. On the pillars on both sides of the door of the living room, there is a couplet, and the pen is strong.

Shanglian book: The wind and rain are smooth and the year is blessed, why envy the paradise?

The next link is: Bo Gutong is a book in this volume, which can be called the great Confucianism of the world!

Horizontal batch: ploughing and reading the family.

After everyone sat down and served tea, the goatee arched his hand and said: "My surname is Chen, I am the patriarch of my clan, I don't know what the military master commands, but if I can do it, I will do my best to help." ”

Guan Yu picked up the tea bowl casually and said unhurriedly: "Look at the couplet in front of the hall, can there be someone in the house who is an official in the court?" ”

The goatee smiled and waved his hand, and said: "No, no, there are only two daughters under the knees, but my grandfather was the first emperor's teacher, and he has been settling here since returning to his hometown." ”

"Oh, no wonder!" Guan Yu nodded thoughtfully. Immediately put down the tea bowl and said his intention in 1510.

After hearing this, the goatee frowned for a long time, took a deep look, and said: "Don't hide it from the military master, in the past few years, the military master must be very clear, most of the surrounding villages are ten rooms and nine empty, in order to maintain the continuation of the family, we have been releasing grain for disaster relief every year, and setting up porridge sheds to help the villagers." Alas, they are all villagers, and they can't watch them starve to death! If you say ten burdens and eight burdens, the villagers can still make it up by squeezing it from between their teeth. A hundred loads of grain, even if I am ground into powder, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it out! Wanwang Junye is sympathetic! ”

"It's okay, give you a three-day deadline, you can make as much as you can, the more the merrier. I really can't make up ---" Guan Yu said and stood up, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's look elsewhere!" ”。

After speaking, he strode out, and the goatee behind him thanked him and bowed down.

At night, a lower quarter moon hung high in the sky, and only one or two stars flickered and dimmed beside it, blinking indifferently. In the bedroom, the goatee was figuring his head crackling and pulling the abacus, and the lady on the bed asked worriedly: "I heard that the official army was defeated, and the red turban bandits were rampant in the township, killing people and setting fires, raping and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, how can you live in the future?!" ”

The goatee stopped, turned his head and said, "Don't talk about bandits and thieves every day, let them hear it, beware of cutting your tongue immediately!" ”

The lady was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, and she sighed faintly for a long time: "During the day, they are urging for food, and there are still more than a hundred loads in the basement?" Or you will give them a good getaway, lest you hurt the lives of your people." ”

The goatee's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said, "Shut up!" This year's harvest is now complete, but it is the grain for the coming year, and what will we plant for the next year? What to eat? Drink the northwest wind to go?! ”

"But --- how do you deal with it? In case they turn their faces---" Madame stopped her voice with a whimper, and could not go on.

The goatee stroked his beard and sighed: "Let's take one step at a time, I don't think that young man in the day is not like a vicious man, and he should not take our lives---."

Hearing this, the man in black on the roof slowly straightened his waist and sighed slightly in his heart. A famous movie line suddenly popped up in my mind: The landlord's family has no surplus grain!

Even in the army, Guan Yu never dared to lose his housekeeping skills. Often dressed in black, wandering at night, breathing, flying eaves and walls. Leaving the roof of the master's bedroom, he took a deep breath and swam towards the backyard. After a while, I came to a small building in the backyard, and saw that the upstairs was brightly lit and full of people. Curiosity aroused, and he flew upstairs.

I clicked on the window lattice paper, but I saw a young girl under the lamp bowing her head and making a female red.

Guan Yu suddenly became playful, and when he came to this world, it seemed that he had never seen a beautiful girl except for the ragged and unrecognizable woman he met during the day today. Thinking of this, he gently pushed open the window and jumped in.
