Sending away the caravan that was fully loaded, sending away the more than 600 Han slaves, and eating a full meal in his hometown, Lu Peng ordered that this camp and the labor materials given by these leftover merchants should be burned to the fire, and then reorganize the team and rush to the next tribe detected by Jinyiwei.

The war horses are dashing, the carriages are linlin, and the entire army is galloping on the flat grassland, like wind and electricity.

Since all the donkeys and mules that slow down the chariot have been replaced by steppe horses, the four-wheeled carriage has reduced the pressure burden on the horses, so easily dragging the chariot, running on the vast plain, driving the carriage of the royal hand high-spirited shouting and urging the horses, the soldiers on the chariot rest at ease, talk and laugh happily, prepare for the next battle and loot, calculate the number of their dividends, every time they add or subtract, let the soldiers have a high fighting spirit.

But this time, Lu Peng pounced, he was late. Because by the time he arrived, the small tribe had burned out in the fire, and the grass was littered with the corpses of the Ugan men, women, and children.

Just when Lu Peng was inexplicable, in the camp that was still burning, a black-faced strong man ran out. When Lu Peng's own soldiers saw it, they immediately blocked in front of Lu Peng, and Tai Shici opened his longbow exaggeratedly, watching the man's actions vigilantly.

As soon as the man saw that Lu Peng's army on the opposite side was on guard, he immediately stopped from a distance, and then knelt down and kowtowed: "Little spur, meet Lord Zhoumu." ”

"Spurs? What's the matter? Lu Peng looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, Xu Jie thought for a while, he really had an impression of this person, in the intelligence file of Jinyiwei, there was a record of this spur, so he hurriedly replied: "This person is the horse thief in the north of Liaoxi County, after Liaoxi was occupied by us, the four generals appeased him several times, but he refused. And encircled and suppressed him, but this guy was very cunning, and he couldn't resist, so he fled without a trace, and I don't know why he appeared here today. ”

Then he said: "Did you send General Xi Zhen to rush over and kill him here?" ”

Lu Peng rejected Xu Jie's suggestion, and said with a smile: "I see that he has burned the Wuhuan tribe now, and it is still very clean and thorough, since he has become a robber and horse thief who robbed the Wuhuan people, and I am also a robber and horse thief who robbed the Wuhuan people, everyone is doing a line, so everyone is a family, how can a family fight and kill?" Do we want to be a group of harmony, rob together, and get rich together? ”

After saying this, Lu Peng directly pulled away Tai Shici, who was blocking in front of him, and said cordially to the kneeling horse thief: "Ma Da is in charge, get up quickly, don't get rheumatism when the ground is damp, come and talk quickly." ”

Being so cared for by Lu Peng, the spurs trembled with excitement at that time, tears were about to flow, and he immediately took off his waist knife and threw it on the ground, trotted to Lu Peng's horse, and knelt down on his knees again.

Since they had shown their sincerity by throwing away their weapons, Lu Peng also dismounted, handed over the big knife to the guards beside him, and then strode up in front of the spur, and helped the spur up with both hands: "The big boss is polite, get up and speak quickly." Then he pulled the excited spur and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Spurs immediately nodded and replied: "Since the state pastor took office, how dare we, the clowns, dare to play the general Huwei again, and the four generals are even more brave and invincible, we can only hold our heads and run around, there is no way, we can only grab some Wuhuan people and savages from time to time, the price is big and the income is small, and we are trapped here if we are not careful." "It's a pain on his face.

Lu Peng patted him on the shoulder: "Then why don't you surrender to the official army, I once issued a recruitment order, and the conditions are quite generous to you heroes, even the war horses you brought, I will give them at double the market price." ”

Spurs didn't want to say anything, but his expression had become extremely miserable.

Lu Peng patted him on the shoulder again: "Just say it, I won't blame you." ”

Spur swallowed with difficulty, and then his eyes were red: "We horse bandits were originally ordinary people, but the government and big families have been bullied so hard that we have no way to live, so we took risks and committed many crimes." ”

"But I have already announced that as long as you join my army, all your sins will be forgiven."

Spur twisted his head and said, "Your Excellency, although you can forgive the sins on our heads, can you forgive the hatred in my heart?" ”

Lu Peng opened his mouth and stammered, "The hatred in your hearts?"

"Yes, the hatred in our hearts cannot be forgiven by adults." Then he pointed to his chest: "I was originally a kind citizen, with parents, wife and children, and dozens of acres of land at home. ”

Lu Peng nodded, this is the people of the world, simple and extremely docile, and it is these people who hold up the sky of this big man.

"However, the big family in my village fell in love with my family's land, and several times came to the door to sell it, my lord, you also know, the land is our lifeblood, how can it be sold, so they colluded with the local county order, let our father and son bear the forced labor in Liangzhou, my father was deliberately instructed by them, and died of exhaustion at the construction site, I was also beaten and tortured by them several times, and was on the verge of death several times, but fortunately, I couldn't bear it, so I escaped, and returned to my hometown with great difficulty, but I only saw my mother's new grave, Wives and children are sold to a distant land and don't know where to go, and you say, "Can you forgive me for my hatred?" Speaking of this, he actually whimpered and cried, and even the guards around Lu Peng had red eyes.

This is a kind of bloody plot in this era, which is really sad and helpless, but such a plot is staged everywhere almost every day, but in the face of this ordinary tragedy, Lu Peng feels powerless, he wants to change the status quo, and he is also working hard to change, but now his strength is still very weak, not to mention saving the people of the whole world, even in his own base, he has to compromise and bow to those wealthy families, this is reality, this is helplessness.

"Is this the case with all your brothers?" Lu Peng asked weakly.

"If there is a little way to live, who wants to do this knife to lick the blood and shame the ancestors? But where there is a trace of redress, who wants to do this precarious deed, not necessarily when, in which ditch, and not even the ancestral grave can be entered? ”
