Chapter 23: Burning, Killing and Looting

Pei Yuanshao, who was on the side, scratched his head and asked in a low voice, "Bo Qi, what do you call a rogue?" ”

Guan Hai snorted and replied: "Stupid, Bo Qi wants to lead everyone to live a life of good wine, good meat and good women, and that rogue is naturally a rich and sweaty thief, I don't understand this, pig." ”

Ma Yue rolled his eyes when he heard this, he was really helpless to be a rogue.

The failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising has fully demonstrated that even if you can pull up a team of millions, it is still a rabble, and it is still not the opponent of the elite Han army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is no way to survive the large-scale uprising of the poor people.

There are three benefits to being a rogue.

First, the target is small, not as powerful as the Yellow Turban Uprising, which will not attract the attention of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the military pressure it faces will be much less.

Second, the flow was fast, the means of communication at that time were extremely backward, and the local county and national soldiers fought their own battles, and their training and armament were lax, so the rogue had a lot of strategic space to intersperse and detour.

The third is sufficient provisions, because they have been wandering around all year round, they can always find rich families from all over the world for them to plunder, so food is not a problem.

According to the above three advantages, Ma Yue is confident that he can survive this difficult time, as long as he survives for five years, when Emperor Ling dies, Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, and then the princes of the Eighteenth Road rise up to fight against Dong, at that time, it is time for the salted fish to turn over.

Of course, Ma Yue didn't want to be a thief in the past, and being a thief can still survive these five years.

When you are a rogue, you have no fixed place to live, and you have no fixed place, because you are always in the core circle of influence of the government, you may be surrounded by the government and the army at any time and the whole army will be wiped out.

As a bandit, live and work in peace and contentment, and get away with it, as long as you don't make too much trouble, you can generally live well.

But the problem is, in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was bitter, if you were confined to one place to be the king of the mountain, the surrounding rich families would always have a day when the disaster would end, what should you do then? To rob the poor? Although the bandits of this era often do this, Ma Yue has crossed over from the future world after all, and he can't pass this psychological barrier.

In the vast and long history of China for thousands of years, the most bitter, kindest and most difficult are these poor people, who do what they say they say and rest, and all they ask for is three meals and food and clothing, how can they bear to be deprived of this little request? In Ma Yue's opinion, doing so is no different from a beast.

Of course, if you run the cottage as a small kingdom, you can also be self-sufficient and not harm the people around you, but in this way, the trained subordinates are still just a group of farmers. What Ma Yue needs is not a pack of farmers, but a pack of howling bloodthirsty wolves.

Only a pack of bloodthirsty wolves can help Ma Yue become a warlord in the coming troubled times. If there is only a group of farmers under his command, then Ma Yue can only become someone else's sword soul in the end, and use one of his heads to witness the rise of other heroes in troubled times.

It's like the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan chose to be a thief, and he didn't impress the poor, so he could only operate the cottage as a small kingdom, and as a result, he could only put it under Cao Ying's command and become a stepping stone for others. Zhang Yan can be under Cao Ying's command, but he can't, if he really joins Cao Ying's command with his surname, he will one day be killed by Cao Apu, who has a suspicious surname.

Therefore, Ma Yue must be the boss, and to be the boss, there must be a group of howling bloodthirsty wolves.

If you want to have a pack of howling bloodthirsty wolves, you need to constantly feed them with fresh flesh and blood.

What is flesh and blood? It is the rich families of this era, the fat and ointment of the people that they have accumulated through legitimate or improper means! Ma Yue must take this pack of wolf cubs around the world in order to constantly find fresh prey, and after a long period of savage hunting training, one day, these simple farmers will eventually become vicious wolves.

This...... It's the only reason to be a rogue!

Under the dark night sky, Ma Yue shouted: "Have you remembered what Lao Tzu said just now?" ”

"Remember!"

"Good!" Ma Yue waved his arm forward and shouted, "Take down the manor in front, drink wine in a big bowl, and eat meat in a big piece!" ”

"Wow~~"

The rogues howled, and followed Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao and pounced on the manor in front.

……

Wancheng, Zhu Jun's army has left, the corpses are like mountains and rivers of blood have been cleaned up, the entire Wancheng has not seen much war and turmoil, and Qin Jie has also moved the county back.

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion, the candles were flickering and the figures were crowded, Qin Jie was pacing back and forth, his face was full of anxiety, Huang Zhong, Zou Jing, Wei He and Cai Mao stood on one side, silently facing each other.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Wen Ping, who was only 17 years old, walked in with his head held high.

Qin Jie eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Is there any news of thieves?" ”

Wen Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "Kuaima has searched all over the old river ditch within a radius of fifty miles, and there is no trace of thieves!" ”

Qin Jie lost his voice and said: "Fifty miles to nothing!" Could this gang of yellow turban remnants have to put on their wings and fly away? ”

Zou Jing thought for a while, and said: "My lord, do you need to inform the surrounding counties, strengthen vigilance, and communicate with each other, but if there is news of thieves, immediately send troops to pursue." ”

Qin Jie sighed: "So far, it has to be like this. ”

Huang Zhong, who was wrapped in bandages on his shoulders, said: "This horse is so powerful, the originally vulnerable Yellow Turban thief, in his hands, it is like being reborn, and he has become an unpredictable soldier!" ”

Cai Mao said disapprenorovingly: "Brother Hansheng is a bit exaggerated, but there are more than a thousand thieves, and only a few hundred Jiangxia soldiers can be defeated, so why be afraid?" ”

Huang Zhonghuo said: "That's because you haven't learned his power yet!" ”

Cai Mao sneered: "I think you are scared by him!" ”

"You!"

"What are you, did I say something wrong? The general of the defeated army, Ann dares to speak bravely! ”

"Cai Mao, I swear to stand with you, do you dare to fight with me?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Qin Jie slapped the case angrily, and said angrily: "Enough! Now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban have not been extinguished, and the state affairs have not ended, it is the time to work together and advance and retreat together, why quarrel with each other? ”

Huang Zhong and Cai Mao retreated abruptly.

……

The Eight Hundred Rogues had no trouble capturing the vast manor, and the entire manor had now become a temporary military camp for the Eight Hundred Rogues.

A large cauldron was set up in the yard, a fat pig had been washed and shedding its hair and was boiling in the pot, the thick aroma of meat wafted out, permeating the entire manor, and more than 100 rogues had gathered around the cauldron, while pulling the tasteless rice into their mouths, while staring at the fat pig in the pot.

In the corner, the three small leaders warmed up around a bonfire, drank the rice wine found in the kiln, and there were three fat chickens roasting on the fire, the fat chickens had been roasted to a golden brown and fragrant body, and a small leader tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth and took a bite hard, only to feel that his mouth was full of crispy fragrance, and suddenly even the horizontal meat on his face was smiling.

From time to time, there was the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the backyard, and the homeless gangsters who had no food to eat were in groups of three, five in a cluster, and they were nervously chasing chickens and dogs, and they were very busy.

The rogue who had eaten and drunk enough fell asleep by the fire, wearing the colorful women's clothes that he didn't know where to snatch from nowhere, smelling the incense, reluctant to throw it, and he could give her clothes when he married his daughter-in-law in the future, and he still had a strong sense of small farmers.

In the chaos, the thief-eyed butler was brought to Ma Yue.

Ma Yue's cold eyes glared at him, and the housekeeper trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, and begged repeatedly: "Grandpa spare his life, spare his life, the little one has an eighty-year-old mother who is sick in bed, and a child who is less than three years old, and the little one can't die." ”

Ma Yuezheng pulled out the dagger, and the housekeeper screamed and collapsed to the ground, and the room was suddenly filled with a smell of urine, and this guy was so frightened that he was incontinent.

"Wow!"

A scoop of cold water was poured on the butler's face, and he was awakened by the cold.

"Say, where is this place?"

Ma Yue compared the dagger to the side of the butler's neck, and his eyes showed a wolf-like look.

"This ...... Here is the ...... Fuyang County, Zhang ...... Zhang. ”

"Fuyang County? How far is it from the county seat? ”

"No...... Less than fifty miles. ”

"How many officers and troops are stationed in the county?"

"Little ...... The small ones are not ...... I don't know. ”

"Huh?"

"Oh, no...... About five ...... More than 500 people. ”

Ma Yue pondered for a moment, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he took the dagger and instructed the two rogues beside him, "Tie this guy carefully, and skin the skin and cook it at dawn tomorrow, just enough for the brothers to have a full meal." ”

"Yes, Big Boss."

The two rogues agreed sharply, and brought ropes to tie up the butler, who was already frightened, and the room was suddenly filled with a foul smell, this time even incontinent.

As soon as Ma Yue came out of the room, he met Guan Hai walking out of another side room with a silver smile on his face, it was the time when the spring was cold, but this guy was naked on his upper body, and his lower body was only draped in a pair of loose satin pants.

Ma Yue frowned, and had the intention to reprimand a few words, but finally endured it.

In order to survive, Ma Yue can condone his subordinates to burn, kill, and plunder, but will never allow them* women, which has nothing to do with bullshit, benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but for the sake of the army's combat effectiveness. A soldier who only knows how to devote her energy to women is certainly not much stronger in combat.

Only by not letting these reckless men touch women, let their young energy have nowhere to vent, and hold them screaming, and then put them on the battlefield and let them vent on the battlefield, such soldiers will have strong combat effectiveness and become a lingering nightmare for the enemy.

This is not made up, there is such a unique great army in later generations, and it is by virtue of this method of governing the army that it has won the honor of the strongest army.
