Chapter 215: The White Turban Army's Movements
Gang Bing was overjoyed and said: "You are the messenger of the Zhongtian King, what letter does the Zhongtian King want you to send?" ”
"...... you," the messenger asked unwillingly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gang Bing pulled out the dagger tied to his leg, put it against the courier's neck, and said, "Say it quickly." ”
Gangluo cried out at this moment, "It's in his arms." ”
Gangluo said, tore open the envelope, and quickly read it, the letter did not say much, only a few words: General Hongtian immediately led the army north of Hailing County, and the large army was about to retreat to Shanxian, and immediately went north to attack Donghai City, signed Zhongtian Wang.
Gangluo was suddenly stunned, and the large army was about to attack Donghai City.
Gang Bing couldn't help but ask, "What is written in the letter?" ”
Gangluo said: "The White Turban Army is preparing to retreat with a large force and attack Donghai City. ”
When Gang Bing heard this, he immediately said with a fierce and excited voice: "Say, when will your White Turban Army retreat, and when will it march to Donghai City." ”
The messenger did not say a word, and became stubborn.
Gang Bing threatened: "Don't say it." Needless to say, a dagger was stuck in the messenger's shoulder, and blood flowed profusely, and the messenger was heartbroken in pain, and tears came out.
The messenger broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I am just a small messenger, and I don't know when to retreat and march. ”
Gang Bing said: "Then you can't be left behind." ”
As soon as Bing finished speaking, the dagger smeared a knife on the neck of the White Turban Army messenger, and the blood groove was shocking, like two bright red barbecued squid shreds, blood gushed out from the middle of the two squid shreds, and the White Turban Army messenger only twitched a few times, and he couldn't even scream, and immediately lost consciousness.
Garrisoned in Shanxian County is the Hongtian General under the Eastern Heavenly King Gong Mingzan, the defenders have about 2,000 people, there is about a battalion of the White Turban Army in Wu County, plus the strength of Gongming and the defeated troops in Hailing County, almost 3,000 people, these troops are deployed, and Gangbing has all been in his hands.
Killing the messenger of the White Turban Army, Gang Bing immediately decided that Gangluo could no longer lurk, and quickly sneaked back to Donghai City to recover his life, Gangbing and Gangluo parted ways in Qiyang County, but he sneaked back to Shanxian County again.
Shanxian County has not been greatly damaged, after the White Turban Army occupied Shanxian, it only confiscated the property of slave owners and big merchants, and did not kill people and set fires, and even ** things rarely happened, before General Hongtian, this was once the occupied area of the Northern Heavenly King's military division, and the Northern Heavenly King adopted a Huairou policy.
Therefore, it is not very strange that there are some small businesses doing business in Shanxian County, and Shanxian County has not blocked the city gate, as if it is facing a great enemy, from time to time there are poor people carrying some things into the city, and the white turban army guarding the city gate does not extort anything from it.
Gang Bing hit a rabbit in the mountains and forests, and walked into Shanxian with his hand, Gang Bing did not go far into the city, and a person suddenly came out of the alley on the street of Gang Lala, and quickly ran to Gang Bing's face, and said a few words, Gang Bing handed over the rabbit to the man, and took ten silver coins from the man's hand.
The man picked up the rabbit and quickly ran into the alley, Gang Bing continued to walk, many shops with open doors, inside the tables and stools were in a mess, apparently looted, Gang Bing walked into the only hotel on the street, ordered a bowl of noodles and three steamed buns, but the shop did not want to serve things first, but asked Gang Bing to pay first, and it was worth a lot of money, the price of a silver coin.
A silver coin is simply a robbery while the fire is burning, usually a bowl of noodles is only three copper coins, and a steamed bun is only a copper coin, but now it has multiplied tenfold, Gang Bing shook his head, still did not argue, and paid first.
After a while, the smiling shopkeeper brought up the noodles and steamed buns, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
Gang Bing couldn't help but sneer: "You have a bright smile, a bowl of noodles and two steamed buns are sold for a silver coin, which is a tenfold increase." ”
The shopkeeper said with a bitter and helpless look: "I can't help it, many people in the countryside are reluctant to come to the city, for fear of being arrested by the White Turban Army, this is still the flour I bought at a high price, and I am taking a great risk, the White Turban Army hates merchants and slave owners the most, and one unsatisfactory is to raid the house." ”
"Boss Gang." A voice came from outside the door, and it seemed to be an acquaintance of the store.
"Fifth brother." The shopkeeper said with a smile, but he didn't see him go up to greet him, and his expression hid a hidden indifference.
The middle-aged man called the fifth brother has a white face, a square face, and his clothes are not gorgeous but not shabby, originally his expression was very good, but when he saw the look of the shopkeeper Gang, his face was extremely unnatural, and he slowly walked in front of the store, and reluctantly said: "Boss Gang, can you take credit?" ”
Boss Gang quickly put down his face and sighed: "Fifth brother, you also have to be considerate of my difficulties, I am good enough for you, you don't have to make an inch." ”
"Boss, one bowl of noodles per person, two steamed buns, and something delicious to serve." Two people walked in quickly outside the door, with knives in their hands and white scarves on their heads, obviously white turbans.
The boss just left him and said, "You wait a while, I'll greet the guests." ”
Just now, the boss nodded and came to the front of the two white turban soldiers, and said politely: "Do you want the wine from the two masters?" ”
"Don't drink alcohol, just serve delicious food." The emaciated White Turban said.
"Drink a little, it's a rare opportunity to get together, there will be a big battle soon, and the separation is imminent." Another obese white turban soldier said.
"Then drink, and give up your life to accompany the gentleman," said the emaciated White Turban, "and go, and serve a pot of wine." ”
As soon as the boss got the order, he ran into the back hall in a hurry, which would not require the white turban sergeant to pay first, and then eat, the middle-aged man walked out of the hotel lonely, did not look back, and turned around to message on the street on the left.
Gang Bing sucked the noodles and was very concentrated.
The emaciated White Turban Army said unscrupulously: "Brother Feng, I heard that we are fighting very tightly on the Western Front, didn't we win a big battle?" ”
The fat White Turban Army named Brother Feng said: "They are not the Eastern Navy, they have won a big battle, they have injured the enemy by 1,000 and lost 800, thanks to the clever calculation of the military division, not to mention that our weapons and grain cannot keep up, this is a big problem." "The fat White Turban Army is reluctant to say more.
The emaciated White Turban Army was surprised: "How is it good, the conscription army in Donghai City is also very powerful, and we have lost battles one after another. ”
The fat White Turban Army did not hold back, and said with emotion: "According to the plan of the military division, if we capture Donghai City, we don't have to suffer from the enemy on our backs, then our situation will not be so bad." ”
"The city of Donghai City is thick and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have insufficient siege weapons, the losses are very heavy, the people's hearts are scattered, the siege is death, who wants to send to death, since the conscription army took Hailing County, retreated to Wu County, I have run a lot of sergeants under my hands."
"These people can only enjoy happiness and cannot share weal and suffering, it is not enough, I will see one and kill one such person."
"Why didn't you join the Middle Heaven King Military Division?"
"I have important things to discuss with him in Shanxian County."
"Something important."
"Huh."
The shopkeeper seriously came up with a large plate of meat slices, which looked very funny, he didn't laugh but was abnormal, he said: "This meat slice is the best dish in the store, and it was brought to the two military masters." ”
"Hurry up and make steamed buns, we still have something to do after eating." The emaciated White Turbans shouted.
The two never talked about the White Turban Army again, and talked about some of the past when their parents were short and grew up and lived together. (To be continued.) )
