Chapter 40: Recruiting Talent
The northern city was opened first, and the invading army quickly poured into Chengzhong, burning and looting everywhere.
At the moment, Da Ming is a terminally ill patient, and the thieves are like cancer cells that spread rapidly, they are not only harmful to themselves, but also kill those originally healthy cells, causing a wider range of lesions.
The social structure of many areas of Henan was relatively stable and able to survive the disaster, but because the more than one million rogues gathered near Kaifeng kept sucking Henan's nutrients and destroying the surrounding healthy structure, the situation in the entire Zhongzhou finally collapsed.
Gao Yihuan stood on the city wall, and saw the smoke billowing in the city, and the rogues who entered the city were violent, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Indiscriminate killing of innocents is not quite in line with his values, what he longs for is order, not such chaos, but now he is powerless to change, and even becomes an accomplice of the devil.
"Daxian, you take more prisoners in the city, and the others will follow me." The second brother was distracted for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly, beckoning his subordinates to enter the city.
The second brother took a look at it, and ran to the street with the most flags, and he led everyone through the street, with courtyard gates and shops that had been violently kicked open on both sides.
Looking through the door where he had fallen to the ground, he could see the body that had died in the courtyard, but he did not stop, but continued to sprint forward.
The shops along the street, there are intruders looting, the second brother Gao saw a flag in the distance, ran straight over, kicked the plank, everyone rushed in, and saw an old man holding a knife, protecting a little girl behind him, trembling.
Gao Yihuan glared back, and followed a few subordinates who came in, "You are all fierce and vicious, what are you all doing here?" What should I do if I freak out my fellows? ”
Didn't you kick it away so hard that we just came in, a few people were stunned, and then retreated stupidly.
The second brother turned his head back and looked at the nervous old man in the corner, with a kind smile on his face, "Don't be afraid~" Before he finished speaking, the little girl behind the old man cried out "wow".
The second brother was covered in blood, and his face was splashed with a lot of blood, not to mention how terrifying it was to laugh, but he didn't know it, he didn't expect to laugh, and he actually scared people to cry.
The second brother was slightly stunned, his heart was hit, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he simply straightened his face, "Old man, I got straight to the point with you, I fell in love with your craft, you follow me, I will keep your family safe." ”
If the second brother said something else, the old man might not believe it, but when he said that he liked his skills, he believed it, and the thieves also had to fight iron to make weapons, and besides, they were a group of people, and the old man had no choice.
"King, as long as you don't hurt me and my granddaughter, the old man is willing to follow the king." The old man put down his knife and knelt on the ground.
The second brother nodded and suddenly asked, "Old man, do you have any apprentices?" ”
"There are two apprentices."
The second brother Gao turned around and ordered: "Xinghao, I'll leave it to you here, you take them, and then go find out those two apprentices and send them outside the city as soon as possible." ”
The second brother Gao gave an order, and stayed for a long time, so he hurriedly went out and waved his hand: "The pillar will follow me to the Temple of Literature." ”
At that moment, Gao Yihuan and more than a dozen people turned into another street, and met many young people kneeling on the side of the road along the way, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
This is a place dedicated to the saint Confucius, covering a large area, which can be seen on the city wall, but it is a place with little oil and water, and the Liukou is not interested.
The second brother led someone to push open the door and went straight to Minglun Hall, and as soon as he came in, he was slightly stunned, and saw two scholars standing on a small stool, ready to hang themselves.
"Not really!" The second brother exclaimed, the thinking of the ancients, he really can't figure it out sometimes.
When the two scholars saw them come in, they were still hesitating, but they kicked the small stool directly, and the whole person spit out his eyes and struggled in pain.
The second brother's expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed forward, hugged one person, and took him down, while the other person was put down by Zhao Zhuzi.
The second brother of the high school saw the two of them gasping violently, holding his throat and coughing, so he persuaded him, "The taste of hanging is not comfortable, death is a coward~"
"Phew, thief, if you want to kill or chop whatever you want~" Gao Yihuan was saying, not wanting the scholar, coughing up a mouthful of phlegm, spraying it directly on his face, scolding him non-stop.
Before the second brother finished speaking, he was slapped with spittle, his voice stopped abruptly, and the whole person was stunned. Seeing this, Zhao Zhuzi next to him was immediately furious, "Okay, you turtle grandson, you don't know what to do!" ”
After speaking, he was about to roll up his sleeves and beat people, but the scholar was also stubborn and did not dodge. The second brother wiped his face with his sleeve, but waved his hand to stop Zhao Zhuzi, Song Renzong could tolerate the minister spitting in his face, the second brother is a person who wants to do big things, and a mouthful of phlegm is a hammer.
However, if he was interrupted, the second brother had to finish speaking, he looked at the two scholars, and said earnestly: "It's easy to die, it's just an escape, to put it bluntly, it's a coward, it's hard to live, and it's to live in this troubled world." You are all scholars, and your life is more meaningful to the world and the people. ”
The scholar couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him say this, and after he glanced at the second brother Gao, he stopped scolding him, but he didn't speak either.
"Second brother, Chen Baoping has brought someone here!" At this time, Gao Yicheng outside suddenly ran into Minglun Hall.
The second brother frowned, and said to Gao Yicheng: "You look at the two of them, don't let them seek death." ”
After speaking, he took the pillar and others out, and saw an old man with a rich child on his back behind Wu Shizhao, who was confronting Chen Baoping and his party.
Chen Baoping didn't get the credit for going to the city, nor did he open the city gate, he was a little unwilling, but the credit has been taken away, so he can only retreat and go to the city to make a fortune, or catch two big officials to earn some merit.
After he led his henchmen into the city, he first occupied a silk village, but before he could cover the heat, the elite soldiers of the old camp ran over and robbed him of his capture, so he killed the government again, which was also occupied by the people of the old camp.
This is exactly as the second brother expected, how many cities have the old battalion soldiers fought, and the robbery in the city has long been perfect, they, the peripheral people, are good to be able to drink soup, where can they grab meat and eat with the old battalion.
Chen Baoping was angry, and just at this time he saw an old man carrying a child wearing brocade, and ran away when he saw them, and chased him to the Temple of Literature.
Chen Baoping couldn't help but be happy when he saw such a large piece of land, and no one had come, but he didn't think that Gao Yihuan was already inside.
Seeing Gao Yihuan, Chen Baoping couldn't help but feel angry, this kid didn't count if he grabbed the first credit, did he still want to rob this house with him.
At this time, Chen Baoping saw Gao Yihuan come out, so he pointed directly at the old man and the child behind Wu Shizhao and said: "Gao Zhanglu, these two people were discovered by Lao Tzu first, what do you mean." ”
Chen Baoping deliberately emphasized the word "Zhanglu", obviously telling Gao Yihuan that he is now one level higher than him.
"What did you discover first? Shangqiu was the first I saw, is it mine? Gao Yihuan didn't understand what was going on, but he couldn't let Chen Baoping bully his own people, so he didn't give this guy face.
"Good!" When Chen Baoping heard him say this, his face twitched a few times, and he squinted his eyes and commanded his subordinates: "In this way, it's not yours here, brothers will search for me."
