Chapter 180: Over There
In the afternoon, Ruyang City, the city gate was closed, the city wall was crowded, and the people in the city who were temporarily recruited by the government were guarding the city at this moment, with a wooden stick in their hands and a number of stones, and everyone shouted slogans, saying that they wanted to live and die with Ruyang.
It is said that not long ago, there was a rebel thief in the hanging gourd, and the Ruyang county guard urgently dispatched troops to reinforce, but the county soldiers fell into bad luck halfway through, and the news came to frighten people's hearts, and only said that Ruyang was going to be finished next.
"Ouch, I ran fast and drilled into the ditch at that time, and I finally escaped!"
In the corner of the city wall, a thin middle-aged man was telling his neighbors about his experience, and the county soldiers were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties that day, and the middle-aged man who was serving in the military was lucky enough to pick up his life and run back.
His experience was thrilling, but the people sitting around him were not interested, because there were other people who had also run back, but they were not as embarrassed as this one.
"You were honestly kneeling and begging for mercy, didn't you come back with a good look? As a result, I drilled the ditch and bit the water snake's buttocks and feet, what a pain! ”
"Who knew it would be so!"
The middle-aged man patted his thigh and sighed, the voice was not very loud, but it was enough for the people next to him to hear, "It's a pity that the old cow was shot in the face by a stray arrow, and he couldn't do it on the spot..."
"Those soldiers who are serious about fighting are really not righteous, they surrender when they see that the situation is not good, and they don't say anything to us, where have you ever seen this kind of scene, you are so scared that you run around, but you are targeted by others, and you shoot accurately..."
Others couldn't help but sigh when they heard it, everyone is a neighbor, and they don't look up and see each other on weekdays, but now a good person says it's gone, and everyone has their own lives.
In the team that was ambushed halfway, many county soldiers saw that the situation was not good, threw their weapons and surrendered, not only did nothing, but the other party also released them, and finally ran back to Ruyang with all their tails.
On the contrary, it was the young man who was temporarily requisitioned, and because he didn't know the 'rules', he lost his life.
Now, it is the turn of the next group of people to be requisitioned to defend the city, and everyone feels that this time they must not make a mistake, once the enemy army wants to attack the city, quickly pout their butts and kneel to surrender, and save themselves from running around and being targeted again.
"This is really an evil door, in broad daylight, where did the traitor take possession of the hanging gourd?"
"Hey, don't you know..."Another man lowered his voice and muttered, Hanging Gourd is the Governor's Mansion of Yuzhou, which is about a hundred miles away from Ruyang, not far away, not far away, many people are in Hanging Gourd with relatives, so there is any news.
As for whether the news is reliable or not, God knows.
"Na, I'm also listening to other people's rumors..."The man looked around, made sure that no officials and soldiers were watching, and spread the gossip.
"Hanging gourd...... Alas! That's a miserable one! ”
The opening remarks attracted everyone's attention, and the man then said: "As for me, there is a brother-in-law in Baocheng, everyone knows Baocheng, it is just south of the hanging gourd, and the two sides are close..."
"Isn't this the autumn harvest yet? The brother-in-law's main family was short of manpower, so I went to Baocheng to work part-time, and as soon as I received the cloth, I went to the hanging gourd to exchange some salt, and by the way I saw the world, who did not know that the disaster would come that night..."
"At night, the traitors entered the city, trapped the official office, and killed the heads of the people, saying that the son of heaven was persecuted by the traitorous ministers and fell into trouble, so he had to raise troops and serve the king.."
"Some officials disobeyed, and as a result, they were killed, and their families were divided by the rebels, ouch hey, they shouted there all night, their clothes were not covered, and their long legs were white..."
Originally, everyone listened to it with a blank expression, they didn't care much about what the son of heaven was or not, wondering what kind of liar this person might be, and they didn't know what to call "King Qin", anyway, it had nothing to do with themselves, but they were a little scared when they heard 'killing people's heads'.
As a result, when I heard "unclothed" and "white flowers' long legs", they all came to the spirit, many people are family members with four walls, and they can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Alas, those little ladies, carried by the rebels on horseback, just passed through the street, I took a look, they were so tender that they could pinch out the water, and they could have been divided..."
"Points... Get one! ”
Someone exclaimed, then covered their mouths, and the others were breathing rapidly, and kept asking what "could have been divided".
"Na, this is to kill the head, it's all neighbors, I dare to say it..."
The man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, weighed it in his heart, and finally decided to say the lines that he had memorized many times, after all, he received the benefits from there, and he couldn't say anything afterwards, so he had to pass on the words taught there in Ruyang.
Which side is 'over there'? Belch...
"Na, the rebels said that they wanted to be the king of Qin, so they occupied the hanging gourd, and whoever fought with them would get a little lady if they made meritorious service..."
"Let's talk about it! If a lot of people vote... Belch... Where are there so many little ladies to share! ”
"You elm head!" The man was anxious, but fortunately, 'over there' taught him how to be round, so the saying immediately came up: "It's not enough, you can take turns sleeping with the little lady!" ”
"Sleepy..."
Many people feel that their mouths are dry, they may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of their lives, and the taste of women can only be imagined in dreams, or with their hands, where is the opportunity for that...
The man hesitated for a moment, then said the next line: "What do you think?" If you vote for a rebel, it's precarious, and you can't tell when you'll die... Oops, don't go..."
He really couldn't figure out why he was taught to say this kind of thing, especially the last few sentences, where did everyone dare to hang the gourd after listening to it... Joining the army?
That night, he was indeed hanging the gourd, and he did see the killing, but he didn't see any "unclothed" and "white flowers' long legs", because he was a foreigner, so he was quickly searched by the rebels, and he thought it was going to be finished, but he took this 'short-term job'.
This 'short-term work' is dangerous, but it is also true that there is a heavy copper coin in his hand, thinking that there can be a large number of 'mantissa numbers', so he went back to Ruyang to 'do things', anyway, he has already spread the word, what is the effect, he will not do his business.
Seeing the thoughtful looks of a few young people next to him, he didn't continue, these people are so poor that they may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of their lives, they think they are tempted, but what he should have said has already been said, and he will lose his life in the future, but he can't be blamed.
However, if it is really powerful over there, it is impossible to say that he has made a meritorious service, and when the time comes... Can you get some sleep?
There was a brief silence in the crowd, and suddenly a shout came from the ears: "Hey, hey! Over there, there's someone over there! ”
With this shout, the city became chaotic, and the people who assisted in defending the city only said that the thieves came, and they were all frightened and confused, but later found that only a few horsemen approached outside the city, and everyone calmed down.
Some officers and soldiers looked at the person carefully, and then blurted out: "Hey? Isn't this Master Wu's book? Didn't he die in the chaos? ”
