The Khitan people are particularly arrogant, with the attitude of conquerors to conquer the Han people, wantonly bullying and killing the Han people, the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun are in dire straits, and a large number of fleeing households returning to the south every year, and the border towns are very weak, so that such tragedies have been staged year after year.
"Hey! We are defenseless and have no skills, how dare we have other thoughts, we can only look at the situation! He San was cautious and sloppy.
"Hmm...... Not bad! I think so too, you can follow me in the future, so that we are all much safer. And there are Zhenzhou Chengde Army, Cangzhou Heng Navy, and Xingzhou An **** nearby, all of which are strong vassals, and they will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Zhang Yue pondered, it was time to accept the younger brother and find a way to get out, after all, no matter how powerful a person is, his strength is still very limited, and he immediately began to draw a big pie to win them over, so as to unite all the weak forces available.
was thinking about the big plan to get the little brother out, and the strong man in charge of the house turned back again, and when he stepped forward, he croaked, and Zhang Yue had to turn his head to look at He San on the side.
He said...... He said that General Gao wants to see you, you have to be careful......" He San's face was incredulous, full of worry.
"Oh? Have you seen this Golmoham? Isn't it fierce? ”
He San looked at the strong man in charge and made sure that he didn't understand, so he cautiously said: "It's not just fierce, it's very cruel!" I saw him beat an old man to death with a flail, and his brains splashed on the ground, but it's scary, don't talk nonsense in front of him......"
"Oh...... So ferocious! Zhang Yue quickly made up the image of a foodie...... The thin helmet clasped the fat head and big ears, and the fat on the face was so squeezed that the eyes were like a knife cut, and the fierce light was shining. There is also the balloon-like inflated belly, which makes people very worried that the next moment it will "bang", blood and flesh will splash, and the nail leaves will fly......
At this time, the strong man in charge muttered impatiently, but his attitude was much better than before, and he no longer yelled in a rough and vicious manner. Zhang Yue didn't want to ask again, and he was afraid that the person in charge would understand one or two sentences and report it, and it would be dead. It may also arouse the vigilance of the Liao army, not only killing himself, but also affecting everyone.
The short and stout steward led the way, Zhang Yue had to follow, passing by the corridor, and saw that the corner of the main courtyard of the atrium was scattered, and there were a lot of porcelain fragments scattered on the ground, which showed that the owner of the original house was driven out by the Liao army.
There is still the original furniture in the house, but the placement is not the same, the high and wide couches are all piled up in the corner, replaced by blankets, spread as seats.
Zhang Yue entered the door and saw a strong man wearing a fur hat with a curled brim and a black military uniform sitting in the middle of the hall. But he has fair skin, an elegant face, and is in his fifties, not old, not at all what he imagined before, and he doesn't look like a foodie.
"Hmm......" The short steward snorted coldly suddenly, stretched out his hand to stop it, Zhang Yue understood, and had to stop.
"This dog meat soup is really well cooked...... Are you the chef of a restaurant? Gao Mohan burped, put down the white porcelain bowl unsatisfied, and looked at Zhang Yue.
"Back to the general's words, Xiaomin is just a butcher, and he can barely cook......" I don't want Gao Mohan's Hebei dialect to speak very standardly, Zhang Yue's face showed surprise.
"Very good! There is no shortage of butchers in a certain house, but there are few skilled cooks, if you do it well, stay in Mozhou, and allow you to buy fields and settle down, if you dare to have bad intentions...... So you can't survive, you can't die, can you understand? ”
Gao Mohan's tone was cold, soft and hard, and seeing that Zhang Yue's face seemed to be so frightened that his face turned white, he nodded with satisfaction, and said a few more words to the short steward, and then ignored the two of them.
The short and sturdy steward respectfully bowed and retired, Zhang Yue followed out with interest, and began to think in his heart: It's not bad to be a cook, it's safe for the time being, but the little life is still in the hands of others, like purgatory in Mozhou, Han Min runs south every year, and the ghost goes!
Wait a minute...... I can think of this, Gao Mohan is not stupid, will he play any tricks? This stays by his side as a private cook, and if he wants to escape, he is simply looking for death, and there seems to be no good way except to curry favor with him in every possible way. Stubborn Daddy! It really hurt me!
The time for lunch soon came, and the short steward personally stared at it, asking Zhang Yue to make Gao Mohan's lunch, which was still done by Zhang Da and He San. Zhang Yue didn't dare to play passive sabotage, but he didn't dare to behave too well, and he seriously made a few dishes, and Gao Mohan didn't look for him again.
I thought that he would only cook Gao Mohan's meals, but he didn't know that the short and strong steward asked him to help, make food for three hundred soldiers, and dry food for the march, Zhang Yue didn't dare to refuse, and had to greet him with a smile, and he held back his old anger in his heart.
However, he found that Gao Mohan's personal soldiers were all fine horses, basically did not carry baggage, and only used the cattle and sheep looted everywhere as military rations, and also brought some cooked jerky, cheese, milk wine, and hay and beans for war horses, and there were no large equipment. Only light weapons, such as knives, guns and arrows, carried a lot of them.
In the afternoon, the 50 or so people in the house were still slaughtering cattle, sheep and livestock for dinner, and they were busy. Zhang Yue was worried about something, and under the pretext that the onions and garlic were used up and there were no cooking condiments, he asked the short and strong steward to explain, and wanted to take Zhang Da and He San to the village to find out.
The stocky steward looked at him strangely, and sneered, the threat was very obvious, but he agreed without saying anything, and found five more soldiers to follow.
Out of Gao Mohan's temporary military camp, he saw that the Liao soldiers in the alleys of the village were much more guarded, Zhang Yue also wanted to go around more, to see the reality of the Liao army, as well as the situation of the garrison, but the following soldiers were obviously ordered, and when they walked to the entrance of the village, they shouted when they saw a vegetable patch.
Zhang Yue had no choice but to pull half a basket of onions and garlic with Zhang Da and the two, and was about to go back, when he suddenly heard the crying and shouting on the official road at the entrance of the village, and saw more than 100 Liao riding in front of the road, and in the middle were hundreds of men, women, and children, lined up in a long line, and hundreds of Liao rode horses on their backs full of all kinds of looted property, waving horsewhips wantonly, whipping the crowd for fun.
The young man was tied behind his back and his hands were joined in a large string, and he walked in front of him with his head down, the child cried in horror, and the woman turned pale with fright and trembled in the crowd.
Zhang Yue was stunned, his heart was furious, and he could barely control his emotions, while there were several soldiers staring at him, so he had to hold back. Zhang Da and He San's faces were also ugly, and they lowered their heads silently and did not say a word.
"Let's find an excuse to follow and see where those villagers are taken?" Zhang Yue looked at He San and inquired in a low voice, and guessed in his heart: There should be a military camp nearby, and those villagers may be sent away after they are centrally imprisoned.
"This ...... Don't get in trouble, you see they're staring! Let's go back......" He San hesitated for a moment and shook his head in opposition.
Zhang Yue nodded, didn't insist anymore, looked back as he walked, his eyes searched among the villagers, and he didn't find his father's figure, it seems that he may have successfully entered Xindu County.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yue was absentmindedly busy making military rations, and found an opportunity to sneak out and observe a few times, and found that the Liao army came back several times one after another, but walked away far away and did not pour into the village.
In the early hours of the next morning, when it was still dark, the stout steward of the house yelled with a whip and drove them out of the utility room, and then pointed at them to move their things to pack up and prepare to leave.
At this time, Zhang Yue was in a hurry, and originally wanted to stay with those young men who were captured, so as to mobilize them to escape together, but it seems that this idea is not valid. The escape plan is about to come to naught, let's go one step at a time with the army, this is too passive.
Maybe you can add some spice to Gao Mohan's meal, and the soldiers, but where to find so many medicinal herbs? It doesn't seem to be working, and after thinking about it, it's still at a loss.
