Chapter 25: The Attack on the Manor

As Li Jie shouted, the five hundred archers calmed down and then released the bowstring. The cluster of arrows flew into the sky with a seeping roar, and then swooped down headlong, towards the small manor wall, and the long arrows fell like an overwhelming land, and in an instant a forest of huge arrows grew on the narrow courtyard wall, nailing all the people standing on the courtyard wall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the butler hid under the wall, and heard countless screams in his ears, and when he looked up, the butler couldn't help but vomit. Many of them had been pierced by two or three giant arrows, and they were nailed to the wall and ground behind them, blood gurgling down the shafts and wounds the thickness of their thumbs. A scream rang out, which came from Zhuang Ding, who was seriously injured but not dead. The butler turned around and ran down, out of this hell. Cheng Moyu slapped his horse and rushed forward to the courtyard wall, and jumped onto the courtyard wall with horsepower. The rest of the Zhuang Ding saw the housekeeper running away, and another person jumped under the wall, turned around and ran, and Cheng Moyu, who was very relaxed, opened the Zhuang door. Li Jie shouted at it, "The spearmen are in front, the archers are behind, rush in!" ”

Thousands of people rushed into the village, but did not meet any decent resistance. And the nearly 10,000 people gathered behind him also shouted and rushed in with the official army. As Li Jie's soldiers were moving forward on the long street, many people began to smash the doors on the side of the street, killing people in the houses, regardless of gender, old and young. The way for the people to distinguish between the royal family and the ordinary slaves is simple and effective, that is, look at their clothes, and if they are neatly dressed, they must be members of the royal family.

And those oppressed slaves, at this time, also had a revenge mentality, and guided the people to search for the hidden Wang family, and once they were discovered, they would be killed immediately. For this inhumane revenge massacre. Li Jie didn't stop it, and when he came, he had already made up his mind to kill all the people of the Wang family, and there must be no life and opportunity, because under the cultivation of the Wang family's intertwined forces, as long as one of the Wang family wants to fight against Li Jiejie, there will be infinite trouble in the future.

But Li Jie still needs to cherish his feathers, and as soon as he gets out of the customs, he will destroy the whole family, which will be criticized by others, and it will damage his glorious and lofty image in the future. I want to be a pure, righteous and loving person, a person who is free from low-level interests, if it is known that he destroys the whole race, this matter will not be very easy to do! But this time, it's okay, the people's revenge is cruel, but for his own future plans, he must do this, use the people's revenge anger to achieve his own goals, so that Li Jie feels more or less at ease, and at the same time, Li Jie also saw that his soldiers only slaughtered those who resisted the children of the Wang family, that was war, that was a life-and-death fight, that was justified, and he didn't want his soldiers to be stained with the blood of women and children, as long as there was the first massacre of women and children, in the future, this army would be accustomed to it.

In front of the ancestral hall of the royal family, the soldiers met resistance, and hundreds of people surrounded a tall man. Li Jie asked, "Are you the patriarch of the Wang family?" "The man arched his hand" exactly, dare to ask the general that my Wang family violated the royal law, and the general wants to do this? Li Jie sneered: "You should ask you if the Wang family has violated that royal law!" "In the eyes of the head of the Wang family, the problems that can be solved with money are actually not problems, so he said proudly;" I think it's good, I think the general's brother has three thousand. Then how about giving each of the brothers a hundred taels of silver! Of course, the folks and elders who came with them can't run in vain. It's only 10,000! Then each person will be given a stone of grain, which can be regarded as a New Year's Eve for the old and young masters! The people around were inhaling, this is more than 10,000 stones of grain. Li Jie wanted to see what the patriarch of the Wang family meant, and took out so many materials and money, but he didn't change his face without being angry, it was really a drop in the bucket. If you don't take advantage of the time to destroy the Wang family now, once they get a respite, it will be a disaster for the people on this side, and they will take these things back from the people again. And he must recapture it twice, and once he is allowed to resurrect it, it will be his own big trouble.

Whether it is for the sake of the people or for himself, Li Jie must eradicate the Wang family. Come to think of it. Li Xiang gritted his teeth and said loudly; "The cycle of retribution in heaven is not happy, what your royal family has done, the sky is watching, the gods are watching, and the people are watching. I have compassion for the way of heaven and don't want to do more killing. But the murder that your Zhao family has done for hundreds of years must give an explanation to the people of the Quartet! So I don't embarrass you, for each of my men is a hundred taels of silver, and each of the people is twenty taels of silver, but your weapons will be bought, and they will be converted into ten thousand taels of silver, and you will see how it is! ”

The patriarch of the Wang family laughed when he heard this, "General Xie, it's just that you should leave some of this weapon with me!" Li Jie smiled: "How about leaving you ten knives!" I immediately withdrew from the village and waited for the handover of the money! "The patriarch is happy: "Thank you for the completion of the general!" Most of Li Jie's men retreated, and the Wang family also handed over most of their weapons. Looking at the weapons piled up in front of the people, Li Jie spoke to Baiwa, "The money and food given by the Wang family, which one is not the blood and sweat of the bones of your people, can we spare the Wang family, and the Wang family can spare you people?" Won't the royal family persecute you people anymore! No, we will never give you the opportunity to exploit the people again, and we will never give you the opportunity to take back the food in the hands of the people, the children of the people, and the lives of the people. Now, let's pick up the knives and guns on the ground and get rid of the Wang family, don't let the Wang family have another chance to exploit you! ”

As soon as the people heard that the people behind them who had originally had the intention of moving, they immediately understood the consequences of letting the Wang family go. It also aroused all kinds of suffering imposed on him by the Wang family, and for a while, the crowd was furious and angry, and they picked up the knives and guns on the ground. The elder of the Wang family was furious, and pointed at Li Jie, "Shaft, dare to bully me!" Li Jie smiled, "I said let you go, but the people didn't say it!" So, countless Baiwa rushed forward, and the Wang family was drowned in the crowd, and the miserable screams and angry shouts and scolding continued to rise, and gradually returned to calm.

After the battle, Li Jie immediately ordered Cheng Moyu and several centurions under him to guard the Wang family's warehouse, the old red mansion, while other places were still left to the people to kill. The sky gradually brightened, and nearly 10,000 people, who came later, began to gather in the square in front of the Wang family's mansion, Li Jie stood on the high steps, facing the black oppressive people, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the Wang family is finished, your suffering is over, I will distribute the floating wealth of the Wang family to all the villagers, and I will distribute the food of the Wang family to you, but I can't give you the land, because you killed the people of the other family, and the people have the support of big people in Chang'an, If you stay here, you will die without a place to bury when the officers and soldiers come! "The elated people are panicking, what can I do?

Li Jie began to flicker, "I, Li Jie, am an official sent by the emperor to Hebei, I can't manage it here, but I can in Hebei, I will cross the river to Hebei in two days, if anyone wants to go, I am welcome!" Those who are willing to go are my relatives, and I and my soldiers will be your shields to protect you, and I will let you have clothes to wear, food, land to plant, and money to spend! I will bring you peace! I will bring you riches! Will you cross the river with me? The people were silent. Li Jie didn't care about them anymore. His target is the warehouse of the Wang family! After opening it, it was simply jaw-dropping, and the huge warehouse was filled with stacks of grain, and the amount was so large that it was enough for the current people to get ten stones each. The warehouse stacked with silver coins made Li Jie overjoyed, there were countless gold and silver, as well as countless jewels, as for the copper coins, there were countless countless, the rope that strung the money had been rotten, and many copper coins were rusted together, and they couldn't be separated, and the cloth warehouse was even more full. But with such a huge amount of wealth, the Wang family is still desperately squeezing the people.

Chen Ziqi and the others are crazy, so much food and gold and silver treasures. The people frantically counted for two days, and the grain was no less than 300,000 stones, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and jade were worth 3 million taels. In addition to the necessities of life, all the carts were used to load food. Li Tang's 2,000 cavalry seized the Mengjin ferry of the Yellow River northeast of Luoyang, and then crossed the Yellow River with the awakened 1,000 giant archers and Cheng Moyu's 2,000 pikemen to control the ferry, and Xue Liang immediately sent people to get in touch with the cottage.

Chen Kang was left in the cottage by the captain under Xue Liang, and the food of nearly 10,000 people gave Chen Kang a headache every day, but fortunately, Xue Liang brought back three thousand taels of silver a while ago, and went to Chang'an with hundreds of brothers, so the pressure was finally less. All the money bought grain, and the women and children went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and sent hundreds of young men to hunt in the back mountains, and from time to time went to the nearby villages to find rich families to borrow some grain, and the rich families did not embarrass them. It's just half-starved and half-fed. Chen Kang is worried about this day! In two days, the food will be completely gone, and the rich families around will borrow it all, and the package ticket IOU will be used in a basket. At this time, a brother rushed in, "Brother Chen, someone is here!" Big Brother sent someone! Chen Kang was overjoyed and was about to go out, when he saw a brother running in and said, "Our brigade is back, and we have organized people to prepare all the carts to pull grain!" When the news broke, the whole cottage was boiling, and everyone was happily busy.

Luoyang is completely confused, didn't you come to Luoyang? The left can't wait, the right can't wait, and as a result, the people turned around and went to Mengjin. Over there, Huangchao has already invaded Henan, but the reinforcements here have gone to Mengjin. Sent someone to ask, and Li Jie said, "The refugees are in distress, and this king must solve the suffering of the refugees first!" "It took 10 days to cross the Yellow River with hundreds of thousands of stones, grain and goods, and then nearly 50,000 people, including nearly 40,000 refugees. Looking at the rolling Yellow River, Li Jie shouted in his heart, "I'm here, I will completely change Datang!" ”
