Volume 2 Vertical and Horizontal Determination Chapter 116 Adversity Sees Loyalty
The fall of Pingyao City has sounded the alarm for many families who originally only wanted to protect themselves. At this time, the Four-Nation Alliance has greatly wooed these neutral families, but after the destruction of Dayue, will they still treat these families well?
With the ambiguous attitude of these families and famous factions who control the power of large masters, the life of the Four-Nation Alliance in Dayue suddenly became difficult. It is difficult to replenish supplies, and it is also difficult to replenish troops.
And more importantly, the summer harvest is approaching at this time. Because of the effective publicity of the law of deep cultivation in Dayue, it seems that a bumper harvest is about to be made. The top leaders of various countries gave death orders to ensure the summer harvest and grab more grain.
The recent movement of the coalition forces is no longer to exterminate the remnants of the resistance forces everywhere, but to slowly move towards the three counties in the heart of Da Yue. There was a lot of friction between each other along the way, and the headache was that among the three counties, the county guard of Luoshui County, who had the highest prestige, said that all troops were not allowed to enter the country, otherwise a fire would burn the summer grain and let the people of the world end up together!
That Zhang Jun was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, rolled up his trousers, bare soles, and took a torch to enter the coalition camp. From the leading generals of various countries to the soldiers, no one dared to stop him.
The world has been short of grain for a long time, and in this big war, the five countries in the world have all delayed farming. And the three counties of the big river are a rare place of tranquility, and the Zhang county guard led a group of people to soak in the paddy fields every day, so that they had this summer grain that saw a bumper harvest. The food in these three counties will surely be able to live countless people, and everyone must be grateful for the merits of Zhang Junshou and others.
If such a person is lost in the camp, no one can afford the result.
When the generals of the coalition accompanied Zhang Jun out of the camp, they were already in the third chapter of the law: the coalition brigade was not allowed to enter the three counties, and the summer grain produced in the three counties would be transported out of the river, and after that, the coalition army would distribute it by itself.
As soon as the news came out, refugees from all over Da Viet poured into the three counties. And because the army was not allowed to enter, the coalition army sent a master to infiltrate, while wooing the local clans, while plotting against the people, so that the county guard could not be suppressed and collapsed on its own.
With the interference of external forces, the three counties are becoming more and more unstable internally. Zhao Da, who held the position of chief catcher, had to put out fires everywhere. And some of the big clans in the county also sent out the powerful people to maintain the stability of the three counties.
——————
On the sheep intestine path, the shade of the trees is hazy at this time, and the wild grass is covered. The sound of the hooves of several fast horses shattered the rare afternoon tranquility, and the original "Zhizhi" barked wildly.
"Miss, this place is desolate, slow down!"
A ride is in the dust, and the knight behind him shouts.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The woman immediately shouted loudly: "The abundant water and summer grain are put into the warehouse, the yield per mu is 400 catties, and the actual income is more than 3 million stones." This kind of news was reported to Zhang Junshou and his brother a moment earlier, and their pressure was less!"
The horse did not stop, just entered the corner, suddenly "snapped", a barrage tightened, the girl did not have time to dodge, was barried, and even people and horses flew out. The horse landed first on the ground, broke its neck with a "click", and fluttered its long legs on the ground, but it was no longer alive.
The woman was so good that she rolled lightly on the grass and stood upright. Just as he was about to pull out the short sword at his waist to guard himself, he accidentally dropped a large net pocket on the top of his head, covered her, and lifted her under the fork of the big tree.
Seeing this, the knights on the horses behind anxiously came to the rescue one by one, but they were stopped by a flurry of arrows and could not come closer.
Under the big tree, several people who looked very messy in clothes gathered under the net, and one of them picked up the short sword that the woman had dropped, weighed it in his hand and observed, and said, "I didn't see it, I also caught a fat sheep today." ”
The other people around him looked at the woman who was constantly struggling, and laughed: "It's not just a fat sheep, maybe I can catch it back and be the lady of the village!"
The man with the short sword in his hand looked no more than thirty years old, and he laughed when he heard this. Turning his head to look at the knight in the distance, he shook his hand and stabbed the short sword in his hand.
The knight reached out and caught it. I heard a shout from the other side: "Take the money and ransom it! Less, you just wait to come to my Song Yangshan to drink at the happy bar!"
The knight was angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger and arch his hand: "This master, we are in a hurry when we go out, and we have not prepared a lot of silver taels. We are a family in Fengshui County, and the main family is also a little thin. I hope that the master will give a face and make a good fate. Let go of my young lady, and the main family will definitely give you a generous gift. ”
"Fengshui family?" the leader was a little hesitant, they had come here for a mission. In addition to destroying trade routes and blocking traffic, it is also one of the tasks to win over local families. If you can connect with the local family, or even directly rebel, it is also good.
The leader waved his hand and motioned for the man to be lowered first.
The net was slowly lowered, and several people drew their swords and put them on the woman's neck.
The leader was just about to step forward to speak, when suddenly someone pointed at the woman in horror and said, "She, she is from the Chen family!"
As soon as the leader turned around, he saw that it was a minion that had been gathered some time ago, and saw that he was trembling all over at this time, as if he had encountered something terrifying.
"Which Chen family?"
The leader was not familiar with the local family, and asked.
"Dahe League, Chen Zihao!" The man trembled, pointed at the woman and said, "She is the sister of Chen Zihao!"
Chen Zihao, the leader of the Great River Alliance! The people of the Four-Nation Alliance who want to get rid of him quickly, but they dare not do it! Because without him, the Great River Alliance will collapse, and if the Great River Alliance collapses, the summer grain will not be able to be transported. Without the summer grain of the three counties, the world will be in chaos.
When the leader heard Chen Zihao's name, he was also shocked, and then looked at the silent woman, knowing that he was afraid that he would get into big trouble.
"You can see clearly, you can't be wrong!"
"How can the villain not be able to see clearly, the villain is ruined because of their brother and sister's family!" After the man finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, faced the woman who was caught, and said hatefully: "Miss Chen, do you still remember my Wang Zhuzi?"
It turned out that this person was Wang Zhuzi, the son of the village of Wangjia Village. On that day, they failed to rob the road, and they knew that it was not good, and Wang Dahai of the village took his son to flee from Wangjia Village quickly. So later Zhao Dacai pounced.
In the winter, the wandering Wang Dahai died of illness, leaving behind Wang Zhuzi, who was full of indignation. A few days ago, someone happened to solicit him, and he clearly said that he wanted to subvert the three counties, which was exactly what Wang Zhuzi wanted, so he was single-minded and wanted to stir up trouble for the three counties to relieve the hatred in his heart.
The woman in the net pocket was Chen Zihao's sister Chen Yan, and when she saw that she was recognized, she looked at the king pillar coldly, and then looked at the leader's person: "Since you recognize me, what are you going to do?"
The other people were all looking at the leader, and the momentum of the Great River Alliance was louder than those martial arts factions. At this time, he offended the Great River Alliance in the land of the three counties, and the consequences can be imagined.
The leader also thought the same way, and was a little hesitant to let it go or not.
"My lord, what kind of credit will it take to bring this eldest lady of the Chen family back?"
Wang Zhuzi leaned into the chief's ear and whispered.
As soon as these words came out, the leader's eyes lit up. Stretched out his hand and drew his sword, put it on Chen Yan's neck, and said to the knights: "Leave the horses and go back to get the money!"
Several knights hesitated, and the leader urged again.
Chen Yan suddenly shouted: "Hurry up! The news is important! They know my identity and dare not do anything to me!"
Immediately, when the knight heard this, he nodded, reached out and took out a small bamboo pipe from his waist, and pulled a small buckle at the sky, "Bang-"
A small arrow shot into the air.
"Whoa—"
An acre of three-color fireworks burst out.
When the leader saw this, his face changed greatly, and he shouted, "Hurry up!"
