Chapter 46: Betrayal (I)

"500,000 acres of grassland?" Chen Liang's body shook involuntarily, and it took a lot of effort to make sure he didn't slip off the horse.

Although he was also born in a wealthy family, his father was not a local celebrity. So before I put it under the hemp tent, I was also exposed to some fireworks in the world. I know very well how vast the 500,000 mu of land is, and I know more clearly how many Li people usually gather on 500,000 lands in places like Yizhou and Shandong!

Thirty acres of land and a cow are a farmer's highest dream. Unless there has been a plague just now, in most areas of Zhongshu Province, each peasant family will never own more than fifteen acres of land. And in the countryside, there are usually more than half of the farms, and they can't even mix five acres of land in their names. At the same time, he needed to work on his own land and property, and also went to the gentry's house to work as a tenant or a part-time worker, so that he could barely earn back the rations of the year for his family.

500,000 acres of newly enclosed grassland means that at least 50,000 farmers will be displaced. In every farmer's house, there will be at least one gray-haired elder, a rough wife, and two or three yellow-skinned children. After careful calculation, this number instantly expanded to six times the original number, from 50,000 to 300,000!

300,000 people, just in the snow and snow fluttering and waving their horsewhips, lost the qiē they originally owned and left their homes. 300,000 people, just because of a fluttering "circle" word, were deprived of their homes, land, and property, and became nothing. From then on, they wandered and begged until more than 70% of them became starving on the roadside!

"Gurgle, cluck, cluck" It was a hot day, but Chen Liang, who joined the army, found that he had started a cold war again. It was as if he had fallen into the hell of Ah Nose in an instant, surrounded by devils, but he was sideways and shared a feast of human flesh with them!

This is by no means the life he wants. However, he couldn't resist, even if his eyes showed a little bit of unbearable, he would immediately be cut down to the ground by the demons around him without hesitation, and it would become the next dish of the feast.

Therefore, he can only choose to force a smile and toast with the devils. Then let yourself continue to live and watch as fresh "dishes" are brought to the table. Until he himself became one of the devils, took the initiative to pick up a knife and cut it into the throat of the dish. I can no longer see the pain and struggle of the other person

For most of the next day, Chen Liang fell into a state of sleepwalking. Listening to Xue Xue boasting about his great achievements in the past year and a half, and listening to the soldiers around him sing and praise Xue Xue's merits. And by instinct, he interjects a few words occasionally to make sure that he does not show his stuffing or is not disliked by the host of the feast.

Until they entered Xuexue's Chinese military tent, most of the soldiers left their homes. He barely managed to break free from the nightmare and regain some of his senses. But Xue Xue couldn't wait, pushed a large bowl of mare's milk wine over, and ordered loudly: "Drink him, look at your cowardice!" It's only a few hundred miles away, and I'm so tired that I don't even have my soul, it's a shame for my eldest brother! Drink, hurry up and sue me when you're done drinking, what important thing does the eldest brother want to say to me? ”

"Hey, hey!" Chen Liang agreed, lifted the Bingcui wine bowl, and smothered the sour mare's milk inside. Compared with the Huai'an Roasted Spring that has just become popular in the capital, the taste of mare's milk wine can be called bland. But such a big bowl fell into his stomach, but it also made him feel hot in his abdomen, and his eyes finally became a little brighter.

"Say it! There are no outsiders here, they are all trustworthy brothers! Xue Xue waited impatiently, knocked on the table with her fingers, and urged in a low voice.

"Ah——!h Only then did Chen Liang realize that he was actually sitting opposite the handsome case. Frightened, he jumped up and stretched to the ground, "The general forgives the sin, the subordinates did not mean to offend, but, but they were exhausted just now, so they were confused for a while!" ”

"Long-winded!" Xue Xue waved her hand disdainfully and continued to urge loudly. "You're the big brother's person, you don't have to pay attention to this!"

"Thank you, General, for your magnanimity!" When Chen Liang heard this, his heart was relieved. Immediately, he respectfully made two long gestures, and then cleared his throat and reported in a low voice: "General Qiyu, the Prime Minister is worried, worried that the reckless actions of Chahan Timur and Li Siqi will disrupt his overall deployment. Therefore, I want to ask the general to go out and urge the two to obey the order, get out of the way, and let go, let the Huai'an army trapped in Shanzhou return south. ”

"That's it?!" Xue Xue frowned slightly, and then, a wild breath erupted from her nostrils, "Snort, the old man still thinks it's a big trouble." Isn't it just to let those two hillbillies stop tossing? It's easy, the old man immediately asked Tai Buhua to give them the next order, and forgive the two of them and dare not disobey! ”

"Of course, it's good to let Tai Buhua give them orders, but the prime minister is still worried" raised his head and looked around, Chen Liang, who joined the army, gradually lowered his voice, "The prime minister is also worried that the thieves don't know what to do, and they have to make inches." So, I would like to ask the Shogun to help solve this problem! ”

"What's this?" Xue Xue frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "This old man has to send someone to inquire about the specific situation first." But as far as the old man knew, on the Huai'an side, except for the Fourth Army, which had successively killed the Yellow River, the other armies did not move. So, hiss——! Don't worry, I'll send someone to find out right away. It is estimated that Zhu Butcher just wants to teach those two hillbillies a lesson, and he has no intention of going north! Otherwise, Lao Tzu's side would have already become a pot of porridge, how could it be that it would not be affected at all?! ”

"The general's eyes are like torches, and he is lowly and lowly!" When Chen Liang heard this, he immediately arched his hand, and sycophants rolled out.

Xue Xue stroked her beard that had just grown for a few days, and shook her head with a smile, "Well, it's nothing like a torch, it's just that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear!" The eldest brother sits in the center, and everything has to be put aside and pondered repeatedly. But the old man is far away, and he naturally has a good understanding of some situations! ”

"My lord is really humble and open!" Chen Liang, who joined the army, arched his hand again, and his voice instantly pressed to the lowest point, "What the Prime Minister means is that if Chahan Timur and Li Siqi disobey the military order, please deal with it according to the law, don't be soft!" ”

"You know, aren't there just two hillbillies? How can they have the courage to resist too handsomely. Rest assured, it's not that complicated! Xue Xue thought about it and shook her head with a sneer.

In his opinion, his eldest brother is just full of food and has nothing to do, so he has to do this more. Zhu Butcher was put on the table, and now that the internal disputes of the Huai'an Army have not been dealt with clearly, how can he have the energy to move north? And Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi are just two turtles who want to take advantage of the chaos, and when they find an idea, they will naturally take the initiative to give up, why should the eldest brother Hama worry so much?

Besides, he is not a child anymore, whether it is fighting with Zhu Butcher or fighting wits with Totok in the past few years, he has never suffered any losses, where is he still told so carefully by his eldest brother. It seems that without his reminder, he would not know how to prevent trouble, and he would let Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi climb to the roof of the Prime Minister's Mansion to spread wild.

"The Prime Minister once instructed his subordinates to stay with the general!" Keenly aware that Xue Xue was already impatient, Chen Liang, who joined the army, hesitated slightly, and continued to add in a gnat-like voice. "What the Prime Minister means is that the autumn wind has gradually risen in the capital recently, and I hope General Xuexue will be more careful!"

"What do you mean? Could it be that the remnants of Tokhtar are doing something again? When Xue Xue heard this, a black cloud instantly surged up on her face. Grandma's, the old man doesn't speak, they really forgot how many eyes Lord Ma has! Baoyin ——! ”

"In!" Commander Baoyin agreed and stepped inside. The plate armor on his body was shining through the window, and the sun shone brightly.

"Order 1,000 cuirassiers, 100 heavy cavalry, and rush back to the Prime Minister's Mansion early tomorrow morning to deliver autumn gifts. Along the way, you put up a shelf for me, don't fall into the majesty of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Xue Xue nodded approvingly and commanded loudly.

"Order!" The commander of the thousand commanders, Baoyin, was holding back all his strength and had no place to use it, so he immediately bowed solemnly. Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and took the troop transfer token from Xue Xue's hand, turned his head and strode away.

"Shogun——!" Chen Liang, who joined the army, wanted to speak out to stop him, but it was too late. It wasn't until Bao Yin's figure had disappeared at the door of the Chinese military tent that he cautiously added, "Think twice, General." Prime Minister, before coming, the Prime Minister once instructed him to be humble and not to show off along the way! ”

"Big brother is big brother, I'm me!" Xue Xue glanced at him disdainfully, pouted and said, "Why has the eldest brother worshiped the prime minister for so long, but he is always calculated." Just because he is too careful, there is no grace! And people in the world usually bully the weak and fear the hard, the more you tolerate it, the more they will bully you! ”

"This" joined the army, and Chen Liang didn't know how to refute it. I had the heart to remind Xue Xue that it was the Great Yuan Emperor Tuhuan Timur who was supporting Chakhan Timur and Li Siqi at the moment, and the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back quietly.

With Xue Xue's arrogant appearance, he didn't dare to guarantee what kind of violent actions this person would take after he took the initiative to remind him. And rebellion is the crime of stealing his family and destroying his family, and he is not willing to involve himself in this gamble with no hope at all.

"Apart from these, do you have any other commands?" Xue Xue's words came from her ears again, sounding with an indescribable irritability.

"This, no, no!" Chen Liang shuddered in his heart, and blurted out the words of coping.

"It's just this little, it's actually worth your journey of thousands of miles?!" Xue Xue shrugged her shoulders disdainfully when she heard this.

"Boss, the boss must be worried about the general, so he sent the little one and the one hundred households of Haisen to come over and take a look at him twice! To tell the truth, the elder and the adult brother and brother, the little one, the little one watched from the side, and they were all envious to death! Very skillfully, Chen Liang began to make a big slap again.

300,000 starving, 300,000 desperate faces. flickered before his eyes. Regarding Hama's entrustment of him to tell Xue Xue, and when he saw that the shape was not good, he immediately crossed the river and defected to the Sixth Army of Huai'an, which was completely forgotten by him in the wind.
