The queue here is long, but the queue of others is shortening, which immediately caused serious protests from other township leaders, who came to the door to reason with Lu Peng.

Lu Peng was very surprised, so he said confidently to the leaders who came to the door: "I didn't go to your house to pull people, and I didn't let people go to any of you to dig the foot of the wall, so it is impossible for your people to come to me, and it is even more impossible for me to kindly use my food to feed your people, am I stupid?" I don't think I'm stupid at all. Maybe all of your people have become deserters. ”

At that time, the leaders who went to this helpless refutation were furious. So they asked Lu Peng to release his subordinates.

Lu Peng was furious, and roared at these unreasonable guys: "This world is going to talk about a word of reason, how can you spew blood?" If you want to say that your people have been pulled by me, then I will call all the people now, and you will recognize them yourself, and you will recognize them, and they will take them away if they admit them. Then he generously said to others: "If there is such a thing, it is not good for me to rectify the army, and they eat my food for nothing, and I will admit it." ”

It was in the unanimous applause of those leaders that Lu Peng gathered with drums.

As the war drums thundered, all the soldiers immediately rushed out of their tents, shouting trumpets, looking for their own team, especially since today was still different from the past. Each soldier had one in his hand. The person who was obviously pulling was wearing a different makeup from the soldiers. But under the leadership of the veterans, these are still neatly lined up in a phalanx.

When the second drum sounded, the entire army had been assembled, forming a huge phalanx densely packed with my brother, the whole audience was solemn and murderous, although those people in tattered clothes would still shake their heads and ears from side to side, but they would immediately be scolded quietly by the person who pulled him, and quickly closed his mouth.

In the army, the principle is this: a veteran with five recruits can maintain half of the original combat effectiveness, and now a veteran with a new soldier, not to mention the combat effectiveness, is immediately formed in terms of discipline.

Even with these discordant movements and sounds, the murderous and strict formation of the entire army still gave these people who came to find people a huge shock psychologically, and those who were timid had already begun to tremble with pale faces and wanted to retreat.

At this time, there was a bold leader, pointing at a trembling soldier beside Xi Zhen and roaring: "This is my minion, called Zhang Gouzi, do you dare to say that this is your soldier?" ”

Lu Peng tilted his head to look left and right. This is indeed not like his own soldiers, because his own soldiers are all strong and strong, with neat swords, guns and armor, and they stand there with their chests and heads up, and their momentum is high.

And what about this one? The clothes were tattered and did not cover the body, and he was skinny like a material, and there was no anger on his face. There was no knife or gun in his hand, so he carried a wooden stick with a sharpened head, and stood there trembling and his eyes wandered. It's very different from his own soldiers.

In this way, those leaders at that time were full of confidence, hehe, see what else you have to say.

So Lu Peng was furious and yelled at Xi Zhen: "Say, what's the matter? ”

Xi Zhen habitually straightened his chest: "Lord Qiqi, this is indeed not our soldier." ”

This sentence immediately surprised everyone, and everyone shouted to Lu Peng with confidence.

As a result, Xi Zhen's voice was louder: "This person is indeed not my soldier, he is my groom, and he is not called Zhang Gouzi, but Zhang Xiaoer." Then he tightly grabbed this young man who might be Zhang Gouzi or Zhang Xiaoer, and stood there so confidently.

It may be that Xi Zhen is holding his hand tightly, and there is courage, and this Zhang Gouzi may also be Zhang Xiaoer's, so he straightened his chest and replied firmly: "My name is Zhang Xiaoer, and I am the horseman of this military master." ”

The boss was angry at the time: "You are a slave in my village, I don't know you yet?" Now you dare to flee from your master, and see that I will not kill you. In the Han Dynasty, the master killed a slave, and the government was helpless against the wealthy, it was not a matter at all, and if you killed it, you would kill it, which became the habit of these wealthy children. And the government, for those who break the law and need to be killed, the children of rich families, often use a slave to kill the top post, which is an unwritten habit.

As a result, Lu Peng yelled: "You dare to kill my soldiers? Do you chop it down and try it? ”

Just this roar made the guy tremble at that time, and when he turned to Lu Peng's knife-like eyes, he felt a full murderous aura at that time. It's definitely not pretending, it's true.

"That, that, is that also a groom?" Another leader timidly pointed to a man next to an infantryman and asked, "Is he me—"

As a result, the infantryman interrupted the leader's identification on the spot, and immediately reported loudly: "Mr. Qiyu, this is my relative, who brought me a backpack." Then he kindly said to the man whose face was already pale and nervous: "My cousin's neighbor's second uncle's son, isn't it?" ”

The shivering guy immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, I am a relative who came to give you a backpack, the brother of my father's neighbor's cousin's brother." ”

"This is—"

"Give me a back-beating companion."

"What about this?"

"Carry the black pot for me." Then add: "I'm a man." ”

"This—forget it."

What else to say? If you can't beat it, you admit it, there is no proof of death, this can't be done, and in the end, everyone can only hurry back to their camp, optimistic about their own people, or there is no other way.

In the end, after digging into the corner, Lu Peng was satisfied with five hundred strong, which improved his strength again, and at the same time released seven or eight hundred desperate old and weak, which also comforted his soul.

Lu Peng's actions, of course, were unanimously despised and resisted by the surrounding friendly forces, so they moved the camp away one after another, avoiding the Lu Peng camp from afar, so that Lu Peng could no longer dig the corner, and strictly guarded his subordinates, and never dared to relax at all, so there were always screams in other camps every day, and from time to time corpses were carried outside Lu Peng's camp as a show off, in order to show that he would never compromise with Lu Peng.

Looking at the innocent people whose heads were cut off, Lu Peng's heart was like a knife but he was helpless, after all, people manage their own family's affairs, you can't knock on the door, and now Lu Peng began to regret Meng Lang who had dug up the wall in the first place.

But fortunately, it didn't take long to be so entangled, and on the second day, people reported that the Yellow Turban thief would lead Cheng Yuanzhi to command 50,000 troops to invade Zhuo County. Liu Yan ordered Zou Jing to lead Xuande and Lu Peng and four others, command 1,000 of his own troops, and go to break the enemy. It can be regarded as solving Lu Peng's entanglement.

As for the other townsmen, Liu Yan didn't let them attack, the reason is not that those townsmen are from wealthy gentry, everyone just came out to make a show, show their loyalty, they don't really want to go out to fight at all, the loss of some slaves, servants, women and tenants is a small matter, if you really die a few nephews in the family, it will be very distressing.

So, Liu Yan ordered them to assist in the defense of the state capital, and let Liu Bei, who had no foundation background, fight.

Didn't Liu Bei also have a royal background? Jokes, that's just you talking, I'll listen, you can't beat the eight poles, you are mixed to sell straw shoes, and the royal family is not worth much, besides, what's wrong with the royal family, four hundred years before and after the Han Dynasty, there are more people with royal blood, and such a royal family is not as useful as a medium family.
