Seeing his cavalry under his command being attacked, Liu Jiwu could no longer remain calm. However, before he rushed to the camp in the depression, he still turned around and called a horseman, ordering him to ride his horse and quickly return to the county government to report to Li Sima. Then, Liu Jiwu rushed towards the depression without looking back.

Liu Jiwu rushed out only thirty or fifty paces, and saw that the first cavalry who had been attacked had already fallen. However, the young man who launched the attack had no intention of stopping. He clenched the short knife in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he slammed into it, and pounced on a horse on the other side who had not yet reacted, and was still stunned.

In order to prevent the uneasiness and suspicion of the displaced people, most of these cavalry guards who were sent to build shelters for the displaced people and guide them to resettle in place followed military orders and did not leave the camp with weapons, but only carried some necessary tools to build the camp. Only those who are even longer and above will each carry a ring-headed knife. No one could have predicted that this would happen.

The young man was about to succeed, but the cavalry reacted at the moment of life and death. grabbed the young man's knife-wielding hand, and immediately fought with him. Unexpectedly, seeing that the young man gradually fell to the upper hand in the fight, dozens of sturdy men rushed out from the crowd of displaced people who were fleeing in a panic, all of them took out daggers and short knives and other things from their underwear, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry was facing a crazy siege of seven or eight people. Caught off guard, he was also stabbed in the neck and fell to the ground, he covered his neck helplessly with both hands, blood splattered a few steps away, and he couldn't live.

Liu Jiwu ran quickly, and he was still dozens of steps away from the depression. In his heart, this distance of only a few dozen steps gave him the feeling of being so long. And the horsemen who had just gathered around the depression were scattered, and when they saw that two people on their side were attacked and killed one after another, their hearts were also ignited with nameless anger, and they picked up the axes, firewood knives and other tools in their hands, gathered together, and gradually pressed towards the seven or eight homeless young people.

The seven or eight men saw that they had attracted the wrath of the horsemen, but they were still undaunted. They form a circle back to back, alert for possible attacks from any direction. At the same time, he scolded at the cavalry who surrounded him.

And the displaced people in the depression, seeing this scene, most of them are terrified. They all fled to the other side, far from the place of the incident. Under the crowd, there was frequent stampede. The cries and wails of women and children, the old and weak, intertwined with the noisy shouting and scolding of the crowd, reached Liu Jiwu's ears, but he felt extremely harsh.

"Stop!" Seeing that the cavalry was about to approach the rebels, Liu Jiwu shouted loudly after a dozen steps. Hearing Liu Jiwu's roar, these horsemen stopped, but they were still holding axes, firewood knives and other things, staring at those chaotic people. And some people among the chaotic people heard Liu Jiwu's cry, and saw that these soldiers stopped following his orders, and immediately knew that Liu Jiwu was the leader of this group of soldiers.

The young men winked at each other, and then while the cavalry was stagnant, a few of them turned to Liu Jiwu's direction and threw the dagger short knife in their hands with all their might. Immediately, several knives flew straight towards Liu Jiwu. Liu Jiwu was still running on the road, and when he saw this scene, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the ring knife on his waist, and with repeated swings, he opened all the dagger short knives that flew in. However, a knife escaped his parry, and with a pop, it plunged into his calf, which was not protected by armor.

Liu Jiwu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Still, he persevered with great perseverance. Struggling to stabilize his body, two more knives flew towards him. Only this time, those homeless young people who were in turmoil lost their heads, one of them flew past Liu Jiwu's left arm, and the other didn't hit Liu Jiwu for half a point at all.

Seeing that the main general was attacked, the hundred-man Chang Tao Heng, who led those horsemen, was in a hurry, and before he could think about it, he had already run a few steps, and the logging axe in his hand was raised high, and then he slashed towards the young man who was the leader! This person had just killed two horsemen in a row, and he was already a mortal person in Tao Heng's eyes, so he didn't spare the slightest hand when this axe went down. Between the lightning and flint, the axe shadow in Tao Heng's hand flashed, and the young man was already in a different place!

Looking at the headless corpse slowly falling beside him, the other young men on the side finally woke up a little. They all looked at Tao Heng with great fear, who was holding a logging axe, like a terrible ghost, and the fear in their hearts had gradually spread to their whole bodies.

Liu Jiwu limped to Tao Heng's side, and said in a trembling voice: "Captain Tao Bairen, I have already reported to Li Sima on a flying horse, we must not act impulsively!" After that, Liu Jiwu approached Tao Heng again and said: "If these displaced people are allowed to have a civil uprising, it is definitely not that you and I can afford it!" ”

When Tao Heng heard this, his face hesitated slightly, and the axe he was holding flat in his hand was slowly put down. The two of them led the cavalry, and confronted the rebels who had been dominated by fear at a distance of three or five paces.

In less than half an hour, there was a faint sound of trumpets in the distance. When everyone looked up, they saw a neatly arranged army carrying spears and running neatly from the direction of the county seat. The first person rode his horse, and the auxiliaries who had only been incorporated into the regular army under his command walked with sonorous steps, and in a blink of an eye, they approached. Under Li Yanzhi's order, those foot soldiers flattened their spears one after another, and surrounded the depression that had been used as a resettlement place for those displaced people.

Li Yanzhi rode out of the horse, then turned over and dismounted, threw the reins, and a gun-wielding foot soldier took the reins behind him and led the horse to stand. Li Yanzhixin walked over, and the iron armor leaves on his body collided with each other, making a sonorous sound. Seeing that they were surrounded by more than a thousand foot soldiers, the dozens of people who had made the first rebellion no longer had any intention of resisting.

As the short knives held by several of them landed on the ground, the dozens of people lowered their weapons one after another. With a wave of his big hand, Li Yanzhi went up to dozens of foot soldiers, lifted these dozens of people out separately, and then tied their hands with ropes and held them together.

Li Yanzhi came to the front of the cavalry formation, and saw Tao Heng and Liu Jiwu standing side by side, but Liu Jiwu's face showed an indescribable paleness, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Liu Jiwu was so painful that he couldn't speak, but pointed to his calf. Li Yanzhi looked intently and saw the short knife on Liu Jiwu's calf. Deng Shi was furious and asked sharply, "Who is it?" ”

Tao Heng lowered his head and said: "The subordinates failed to protect Liu Bairen ......"

"Who I asked?" Li Yanzhi interrupted Tao Heng's words and asked sharply.

"Carry Liu Bairen down to treat his injuries!" As soon as the military order came out, a few horsemen came over and carefully carried Liu Jiwu aside with a simple stretcher made by Fang Cai.

Tao Heng saw Li Yanzhi's angry look, and sighed in his heart, knowing that this lover was about to be injured, which made Li Yanzhi really angry. At the moment, he could only be silent, just raised his hand, pointed to the corpse that had fallen to the side and was separated, and said: "There were two soldiers who died before, and my subordinates have sent someone to restrain them aside......"

Li Yanzhi looked at the corpse, then turned his head to look at the corpses of the two of his own horsemen, and couldn't help but feel even more painful in his heart, nodded to Tao Heng, and said, "I know how to deal with these chaotic people. There's a lot of work to worry about here, brother. Later, I will allocate two hundred-man teams to you, don't let these outcasts cause trouble again!" ”

Tao Heng saw that Li Yanzhi's tone was extremely stern, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart. Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Li Sima, rest assured, I will strengthen my precautions and not teach these homeless people to do things again." ”

Seeing that the soldiers under his command have taken custody of those displaced people who have just made trouble. Li Yanzhi called several elders beside him, ordered them to go to the camp camp, and called all the elders and officials to come and identify these troubled people. The chiefs clenched their fists and left as ordered. After a short time, he brought dozens of sect elders and officials to come forward.

Seeing that these soldiers couldn't help but say that they had gathered their people and rushed them here. Those sect elders and officials were even more worried in their hearts. When they saw Li Yanzhi, who was wearing iron armor and had a majestic look, everyone couldn't help but feel more remorse in their hearts. When even fell to his knees in a big way. The leaders shouted one after another: "The general spares his life!" ”

"The general spares his life!" Hearing someone begging for mercy, these clan elders and officials seemed to be inspired and shouted one after another. They shouted as they knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Rao is feet are just a slightly dry and hard land, and they are all knocking and banging.

"We will follow the public order and accept and settle you and others in the county for a temporary residence. Our soldiers have erected shacks for you and other people, and later they will bring grain to the government to store food for the people. Why is the heart of the Ming Mansion so kind, but there are still people who wantonly cause chaos? Now that Longxi is burning again, do you still want to return to Longxi and endure the exploitation of the thief? ”

Li Yanzhi said as he spoke, with a fierce look on his face: "If you are so obsessed, you don't know what to do." Naturally, we won't care about the blood on our hands! Please think about it! Now in these troubled times, it is not easy to find a pure land to live in! If you don't want to come, you can return to Longxi! Li will never stop it! ”

"General!" Li Yanzhi's voice fell, and the first person below spoke: "Previously, the Liangzhou soldiers ordered us to forcibly move here, and there were many looting and killings during this period. Afraid of the danger of the soldiers, we all dare to be angry and dare not speak, and now most of these young and strong people are also seeing the soldiers, and their hearts are even more hateful to the past......"

"Dare to be angry and dare not speak? There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! Whoever plunders and kills your family, you will kill whomever you want. My soldiers can't leave the county, let alone go to Longxi to loot and kill? They also helped you build a shelter from the wind and rain, and you, just repay them? Two of my men have died today. They have never done evil in their lives, and there are many thieves they have slain on the battlefield, but they have not died at the hands of the thieves, but at the hands of you, whom they have helped. ”

The more Li Yanzhi spoke, the more angry he became: "Their family, how do I explain!" ”

Dozens of sect elders and officials were all lying on the ground, and they didn't dare to take a breath anymore.

"Now I suspect that there are spies of thieves among these rebels! If there are people from your clan and township, I will take them to the county government for interrogation, and if there is no collusion with the thieves, I will release them back one day. If it weren't for the people from the clans and villages, I would have tortured them. Please cooperate with us! ”

After speaking, Li Yanzhi waved his hand. The soldiers on the side stepped forward one after another, picked up those old sect officials who were already a mess of mud, and pulled them aside to identify those who were in chaos.

After a while, the gang of rebels had been divided into two groups, one group of soldiers on the side squatted in a circle honestly, while the other group was tied up by Tao Heng's cavalry. The soldiers escorted them towards Li Yanzhi's side, and the rebels walked while the soldiers on the side continued to beat them with their scabbards and guns. Pushing and shoving all the way, several accompanying guards on Li Yanzhi's side saw this, and immediately stepped forward with their knives and supported Li Yanzhi's left and right. I am afraid that those chaotic people will die and the net will be broken, and if Li Yanzhi is injured or killed by this attack again, they will not be able to explain.

The soldiers escorted a group of rebels to Li Yanzhi's body, and bent their legs with the barrels of their guns or scabbards, and the rebels who were tied up with flowers already knelt down one after another.

Tao Heng's subordinates led Dou Tong from the middle of the team to the head of the team, hugged his fists and bowed and said: "Sima, after the screening, these ten people do not have any sect elders and officials to guarantee." The subordinates believe that it is likely to be the spies of the captives. ”

"Put these ten people into the county dungeon for torture!" Li Yanzhi held his head high, and he didn't look at the chaotic people who were recognized as spies. When Dou Tong heard this, he waved his hand expressionlessly, and the soldiers behind him grabbed those chaotic people, picked them up, and walked forward.

When they reached dozens of steps away, Li Yanzhi and the others could vaguely hear their unwilling roars.

"I'm not a spy for the captives! Let me go! ”

"You Liangzhou soldiers, and the thieves are all the way!"

The generals on the side listened impatiently, and the scabbards and guns fell one after another. Those unwilling roars were gradually mixed with the sounds of pain and wailing, which gradually converged in the distance, and then floated to the ears of Li Yanzhi, who was standing proudly.

After this chaos, the residents in the depression began to restore order again with the help of the soldiers around them. More than 30 people who were trampled to death in the previous chaos were all hastily buried. Looking at the newly erected graves beside the depression, Li Yanzhi sighed: "In troubled times, human life is like grass......

Except for those who were taken away to be tortured and tortured, the rest of the rioters were also given ten lashes each by the elders of each family, so as to give a light punishment. Li Yanzhi also knew that they were eager to protect their respective clans or the people in the village, but he didn't say anything, just smiled lightly and skillfully.

Because of this turmoil, Li Yanzhi could no longer let these homeless people live here alone. He sent two auxiliaries to garrison the 100-man team to monitor the displaced people. It was also affirmed that the county government would supply food to the area twice a day until the county government's resettlement order was issued. However, it was clearly told that the elders of the sect and the homeless people in the camp were not allowed to step out of the vigilant range of the soldiers. Otherwise, the guards can be killed on the spot!

After receiving the assurances of these sect elders and officials, Li Yanzhi designated two hundred-man teams to be stationed on the spot, and then led the crowd back to the county seat slowly.
