Chapter 335: Xia County Slaughters the City (8)
Lu Daniu followed Han Wu to the thatched house where Lu Chongyue was hiding on the outskirts of Xia County, Lu Daniu walked into the thatched house and took a look, only to see a tall figure wearing a cloth coat and a straw hat, with his back to Lu Daniu planting vegetables in the vegetable field in the courtyard of the thatched house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When the man heard someone coming in, he turned around:
"Big bull! It's you! After the heat shield took off the straw hat, Lu Daniu saw the person's face clearly:
"Second General!" Lu Chongyue and Lu Daniu hugged each other affectionately.
"General! The prince died a miserable death! Lu Chongyue nodded:
"Big cow! I already know about my eldest brother. In fact, my eldest brother died well, at the beginning, our brother had no way to rebel against Li Tang for the sake of a way for the people of Xia County, and took refuge in Liu Wuzhou, who knows, when he got to Liu Wuzhou, our brother was still an alternative, not accepted by Liu Wuzhou, and was humiliated by Song Laiyi, the villain under Song Jingang. Originally, I heard that Li Tang's crown prince Li Jiancheng was quite virtuous, so under the pull of Heng Guangyuan, he contacted Li Tang again, who knew that the eldest brother still did not escape this catastrophe. Lu Chongyue deliberately pretended to be heartbroken.
"Second General, don't be sad. In fact, since the Tang army entered Xia County, it has done all kinds of evil! In addition to the forced buying and selling, there is also the rape of the people's daughters, and the robbery of the people's property happens from time to time, it is the ...... of Brother Da Niu's family" Lu Da Niu glanced at Han Wu and signaled Han Wu not to continue:
"What's going on? Han Wu, you say. Han Wu looked at Lu Daniu, and then at Lu Chongyue, his mouth was glutinous, and he looked like he wanted to open his mouth but didn't dare to speak:
"Han Wu, you say!" Han Wu told Lu Chongyue what happened to Lu Da Niu's wife Su Zhen just now, of course, it was processed, the point was that Sergeant Li Tang was like a bandit, and directly saw Su Zhen's sister-in-law greeting guests at the door of the hotel, so he directly broke in, and did something to Su Zhen's sister-in-law, Su Zhen's sister-in-law resisted to death, and after he saw it, he immediately ran to the grain and grass camp to report the matter to Brother Da Niu. After Lu Chongyue heard Han Wu's narration, he smashed the table angrily:
"Humph! These brutes, if the eldest brother is in charge of Xia County, they must behead these brutes to show the public. After Lu Daniu heard Lu Chongyue's words, it seemed to have returned to the time when Lu Chongmao was alive, when Lu Daniu was still a pro-soldier lieutenant under Lu Chongmao's hands, when he walked there, who didn't take the initiative to greet himself, and, in their eyes, won awe and worship, back home, the gentle and virtuous wife made soup for him, and removed the heavy and thick armor for him, and now, all this is gone, replaced by the ruthless whip of the overseer, He has changed from an awesome captain officer to a coolie who everyone can be his father, and his gentle and virtuous wife was humiliated and died by others because she did not have her own protection, Lu Daniu can imagine that when his wife was humiliated by others, the shout of covering, and the eyes of his wife who could not enter the ground under that ruin, in the ashes that were burned, all made the anger in Lu Daniu's heart slowly begin to ignite, and Lu Daniu knelt in front of Lu Chongyue:
"Second General, please, please lead us from the heart, recapture Xia County, and recapture our homeland." What Lu Chongyue wants is such a reaction from Lu Da Niu, because this Lu Da Niu is simple and impulsive, and most of Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue's old departments have been disbanded or taken away by Li Shimin, and most of the rest are old and sick, only Lu Da Niu and a group of brothers under him are still in Xia County, and there are probably hundreds of people, and the most important thing is that the place where Lu Da Niu does coolies is the grain and grass camp in Xia County, which is the most important place in the entire Xia County. The whole Xia County is back in their hands, and then the grain and grass camp is also the grain and grass supply place of Li Shimin's Tang army, if the grain and grass camp is in chaos, Li Shimin's military heart must be in chaos, if Song Jingang is a little stronger, that is, Li Shimin will not die, and it will also suffer heavy losses, and then he will have the capital to negotiate with Wang Shichong, and he will also have a bargaining chip with Song Jingang, even if Li Tang fights back again in the future, what if the eldest brother he dug out his heart and lungs for the people of Xia County, but when he died, there was not even a person to worship, I, Lu Chongyue, will no longer be a savior, I will be a devil, a devil who will bring the entire Xia County to hell.
Lu Chongyue, Han Wu and Lu Daniu discussed together in the hut:
"Da Niu, how many brothers can you gather now?"
"General (Lu Chongmao is dead, so Lu Daniu began to change his name), now there are eight or nine hundred of my original brothers in the grain and grass camp, as well as the people recruited from the Hedong area, if you go through the company, you can probably gather two or three thousand people."
"Two or three thousand people. Too little. Lu Chongyue thought in his heart - this is far from enough. Since Lu Chongyue began to think in his heart that he would no longer be a savior, I would be a devil, a devil who would bring the entire Xia County to hell, the idea arose. It was never erased from Lu Chongyue's heart again.
"Big bull! You come here! Lu Chongmao muttered softly next to Lu Daniu's ear:
Lu Daniu was full of wine and returned to the grain and grass camp with the support of Han Wu and a man wearing a straw hat, and when the overseer saw it, he yelled:
"Hey! You big black bull, you ran out on a horse for a day, and the labor and management were scolded by the foreman for a day, and you finally came back on a horse. Lu Daniu walked expressionlessly without saying a word. The overseer, seeing that he was being ignored, immediately came up with his whip:
"Ugh! I said you're itchy again, aren't you? Han Wu immediately stopped the overseer:
"Ugh! This lord, my brother's family has suffered a tragic change, you can include a little! As he spoke, he secretly shoved a few more pieces of silver into the overseer's arms. The overseer touched the broken silver in his arms, snorted at Lu Da Niu, and noticed the man wearing the straw hat:
"Hey! Who are you? This is a military camp, so don't mess around. The straw hat man seemed to be a mute, and he danced vigorously at the overseer:
"Ugh! What are you trying to compare? ”
"Oh! This brother, one of my relatives, lived at my house, and when he saw that my big bull brother was drunk and so big, he helped me send the big bull brother over. The overseer heard Han Wu say that he was a dumb person, so he didn't think it was anything, and left directly with a big grin. After Lu Daniu was helped back to his workshop, his brothers all gathered around:
"Big Bull! What do you think? It's okay at home! ”
"Big Bull! Sister-in-law has nothing to do! ”
"Hey! Looking at Brother Da Niu's expression, can there still be no problem? Ay! Through ......Han Wu's interjection, everyone began to guess what happened to Lu Daniu's wife, and they were also worried about their wives and children in their own hearts, and one day this kind of bad luck would also befall them, some people sighed and slowly began to disperse.
"Hey! Let's sleep! I have to work tomorrow! Han Wu shouted:
"Why are you people like this? Brother Lu has a deep affection for you on weekdays, when Lao Cheng originally followed Brother Lu, he saw that he took good care of you people, but now what's wrong? One by one, they have become turtles with shrunken heads. ”
"Humph! Han Wu, you kid doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk! At the beginning, your younger brother Han Si was beheaded by Li Shimin, didn't you also grovel to the Tang Army officials? Now I'm embarrassed to talk about us. ”
"That's right! Now we take away our knives and guns, empty-handed! Even if we want to help Brother Lu, it's not easy! Besides, if Wang Ye Wei and General Lu Chongyue are here now? Maybe I'll pick up a knife and gun and fight those beasts together, but now, one is dead, the other is missing, forget it, as long as a person can live, what does he care? Suddenly, a voice came:
"So, if General Lu Chongyue stands in front of you, you can still do it with this General Lu Chongyue!"
"Of course......" Suddenly, the coolie's mouth opened wide and he said nothing:
"What! Unrecognizable, General Ben is back. Are you not happy? The coolies were silent, and Lu Chongyue glanced at Han Wu:
"Han Wu, go to the door and keep an eye to see if anyone comes in!"
"Yes! The little one understands! Han Wu stared at the door. Lu Chongyue found a place to sit down:
"Brothers, today's matter of Brother Lu Daniu, I believe you also know, at the beginning, my eldest brother Wei King Lu Chongmao committed suicide in Ximen in order to save the lives of the fathers and villagers in Xia County, as a result, Li Tang's official article said well, we are now Li Tang's subordinate people, but what benefits did Li Tang give us, in addition to still so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also, you men who were iron and strong at the beginning, collected knives and guns, and put them into coolie camps, carrying bags and food for these beasts, repairing cities and building walls, In addition to being whipped like animals by them, our wives and daughters were bullied and humiliated by them. "If Li Jiancheng was present, he would definitely think that this Lu Chongyue had also crossed over from the later generations. For the later civil war, the Celestial Empire's trick to deal with the captive soldiers, the grievance conference, provoked hatred for the enemy.
"You may feel submissive now, and you may be able to get through it, but have you ever thought about your wives and children in your family, every day, I don't know how many of our fathers and villagers in Xia County have suffered from the Tang Army's misery and poison, and what are they innocent of. Today is the family of the Da Niu brothers, and tomorrow it will be you Wang Da, Zhu Ertou, and Xun Laoer, you were all iron-blooded men on the battlefield, touch the baby in your crotch is still there? Being bewitched by Lu Chongyue like this, the coolies present were all enthusiastic. Lu Daniu knelt down to Lu Chongyue first and said:
"General, I am willing to return to your command again, please take me to recapture Xia County that belongs to us, labor and management should tell the Tang army that these brutes are the territory of labor and management, and labor and management have the final say!" The other coolies also said to Lu Chongyue:
"General! The King of Wei is dead, and you are our new King of Wei! Please lead us to recapture Xia County, which belongs to us, and the labor and management should tell the Tang Army that this is the territory of the labor and management, and the labor and management have the final say! ”
