Section 23 There was a small pile of grain in the yard. It's not much, it's half a person tall. Packed in various rag bags with patches. Messily put together. After all, the quality of the farmer's cloth bag is not very good. A handful of pale yellow grains emerged from the rag bag. It also has the unique moldy green of Chen Gu. In the air, there is a characteristic smell of salt.

This is a cloth bag, right?

Tao Ziqian pointed his fingers, his entire brow furrowed into a Sichuan character, and stood up from the ground. On his two fingers, there was a grain of rice. This valley is rough. Not to mention the few wisps of green mold above, the roughness in his hand alone made him lose his appetite.

When he was in Kyoto, he ate pasta most of the time, even if it was occasionally in high spirits. If you want to taste the fresh, eat and eat rice, there is also a special family to select good fine grains, scoop out the round, pearl-like rice, and then steam, serve it. In his mind, rice was a white, fat, and delicious thing.

Of course, he naturally knew that the rice was golden, but who would have thought that this thing was so unclean and exuded such a bad smell. In this case, what are these Southern Barbarians still staring at? Even if this thing is scooped out, can I eat it?

A group of southern barbarians stood not far from this courtyard, their clothes ragged. Look at them. There was anger, horror, and fear in his expression...... And so on.

This year, the war in the southern barbarians, and the drought and lack of rain, it is estimated that this grain is the last grain stored in this village.

Tao Ziqian was also not interested, and with a flick of his fingers, the grain suddenly swirled, flew to Zuo Wei's feet, jumped a few times, and then stopped moving. He said a little impatiently: "Burn it, burn it all!" With that, he walked straight into the distance.

Seeing that he had gone far, Zuo Wei turned his head and whispered to Li Yuan, who was squatting next to him and had been silent: "My lord, what should I do this time?" Is it still burning? ”

Two days ago, under Tao Ziqian's suggestion, the whole army took "plantain", but I didn't expect that all the sick soldiers were getting better. Everyone is a man from the north, and his personality is relatively straight, and he repays his kindness. Everyone was originally dissatisfied with this military cang, who often withheld military rations, but after this incident, including Li Yuan, they all faintly respected Tao Ziqian.

Li Yuan was squatting on the ground, looking at the rag bag in a daze, and when he saw the other party's thief's head and brain, he was even more angry, and couldn't help scolding: "What else?" Burn it, except for the rice that can be taken away and has been cooked, the rest will be burned. ”

Then he turned his head, looked at Tao Ziqian, who had already walked away, and said softly: "Of course, leave some for the Han people in the village, Nanbanian?" It's better to grab all the panties and burn them. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up viciously and said angrily: "Fuck, I provoked Lao Tzu, I really set up camp in this Nanban, and I have already robbed it anyway." At the beginning, there are no psychological barriers in the back. ”

He talked all the way, scolded all the way, and followed the road Tao Ziqian had walked, chasing all the way.

Behind him, a light smoke rose up, and this smoke was very straight, in the cry of the Southern Barbarians. Soar into the sky. Even though the war had tempered Li Yuan's heart like iron, his heart still trembled, and his black tower-like body was crooked, and he almost fell. Is it right or wrong to do it yourself?

Tao Ziqian was standing at the intersection waiting for Li Yuan, and he was wearing a green shirt, vaguely covered with a puff of dust. Sweat rolled down his thin face. A few strands of hair stuck to his face, but it set off his face even thinner. Seeing Li Yuan coming, he clapped his hands and said slowly: "Burned?" ”

Li Yuan walked to his side, the iron armor on his body rattled, making his whole body even heavier, and nodded: "It's burned." ”

A smile flashed across Tao Ziqian's feminine face: "Don't think I don't know that you left food for the Han people in private. But if you do that, you're only going to hurt them more. ”

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "How do you say this?" ”

Tao Ziqian smiled: "Now the food of the Southern Barbarians is not much, you grab it all, and then privately return the grain to the Han people, in doing so, the other Southern Barbarians have no food, what will they do?" They will rob the Han people in turn. And the Han people did not have an advantage among the Southern Barbarians. Aren't you harming them? ”

Li Yuan was a little surprised, his eyes like copper bells opened wider, and he glared at Tao Ziqian and said, "No, I have made special statistics on these grains, and I didn't give them much, I only returned the looted food to them privately." Would the Nanbarians really do that? ”

Tao Ziqian pointed at him, and a trace of laughter lines appeared on his mouth: "When people are hungry, they can't do anything, you can rob it, why can't they rob it?" What's more, didn't the Southern Barbarian Emperor take a good start? robbed me of the entire Nanjiao. It's normal for this to work up and down. Although your black carbon is both wise and brave on the battlefield, these twists and turns in human nature still need to be learned. ”

Li Yuan looked at the other party's feminine face, and felt strange for a while, he suddenly rushed over, grabbed the other party, and roared loudly: "In that case, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Let me do this stupid thing with my own hands, it will hurt them, it will hurt them? You know what? ”

With that, he lowered his head, squatted on the ground, and kept pounding his head.

Tao Ziqian looked at him quietly, let the other party grab his body, keep shaking, and after he squatted down, he straightened his clothes and said softly: "Our purpose is just to create chaos in this area, if you do this, it will only add fuel to the fire, why should I stop you?" ”

Li Yuan stood up from the ground and said, "In that case, why are you suing me now?" ”

Tao Ziqian raised his hand, pointed to a snake eagle hovering in the distance, and said softly: "Because the Southern Barbarians finally caught up." ”

In the distant sky, a snake eagle is hovering under the blue sky and white clouds, that black dot is very eye-catching!

Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment, he picked up the Zhangba snake spear on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Everyone return to the line, line up, the enemy is coming." This is what he shouted with all his heart. Suddenly, like thunder, the mounts next to him stood up. Screamed.

All the black-armored warriors turned their heads and looked at him, and now that they were back on their way one after another, naturally there was no need to shout so loudly. But he was depressed, as if this was the only way to shout out this stuff in his chest.

In the distance, there was a faint cry in the village, could it be that what Tao Ziqian said came true?

The snake carving is naturally a Nanbanian, to be precise, it is the Nanban's "Divine Warrior" Ada.

At this moment, he was looking up at the snake carving. The snake eagle hovered not far away, no longer advancing, but only screaming vigorously. Although the cry was very poignant, to his ears, it was like a heavenly fairy sound.

The enemy is not far ahead. But certainly three miles away.

There are more mountains and hills in the Nanban, and there are fewer plains, and now their team is standing behind a small hill, and they have to climb over this small hill to see farther away, and this small hill is about three miles away.

In the past two days, Ada walked all the way, and what he saw was a tragic situation, the villages where the Han army passed by were all in a mess, countless refugees helped the old and the young, fled in all directions, and there were many villages, barbarians fought hard, and suffered heavy casualties. When they saw them, everyone was like a terrible ghost, and they all rushed up to them and begged them for some food. There were even incidents of grain grabbing, and there were clashes with the baggage soldiers of the troops.

What can't people do when they are dying of starvation?

They traveled all the way, guiding refugees all the way, how could they increase their speed and catch up with the Han army? Fortunately, the other party is walking all the way to grab all the way, and this speed is naturally not even faster.

Now, finally catching up, Ada's heart has long been holding back an evil fire. It takes the blood of these Han Chinese to wash it off.

Sendagan walked up at this time and said, "Ada, let's gather our forces and attack together." ”

Ada has never liked Sendagen very much, a few of them, they were selected by the empire since they were children, and they went to the master to cultivate, they are diligent, qualified and talented, and they are weaker than this kid, but this kid was accepted by the master as a personal disciple, but he is only a registered disciple. In the battle before the cang, he was the first to attack the opponent's camp, but this kid was awarded the silver championship of the warrior.

Thinking of this, his heart was even more angry, and he said coldly: "No need, the enemy is only a few thousand, I lead this 10,000-person team, and one charge will be finished for the other party, I really don't dare to bother the 'swift general'." ”

After speaking, he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, these Han people who burn, kill and loot in our homeland, and do all kinds of evil are in front, everyone follow me to kill them all to vent their hatred." ”

These words are very exciting, but the people who should make peace are Liao Liao, because in this team, there are nearly half of the Han soldiers, presumably in the past two days, what they have seen is not how the Han people burn and loot, but what they have seen the most is the persecution of their own compatriots by these Southern Barbarians.

The army of the Southern Barbarian Empire, most of its officers are locals, only a very small number of Han people, even soldiers, are given priority to recruit locals, followed by Han people, but this Eastern Han Southern Expedition, the casualties are too great, and as a last resort, they can only recruit Han people to supplement the source of soldiers. The two 10,000-strong teams led by him and Sendagan had a lot of recruits, and most of them were supplemented by Han Chinese, and for a time, Han people accounted for more than half.

With such an army, it is really a bit weak to encourage them to kill the Han people who "do all kinds of evil".

Despite this, this team of 10,000 people still ran towards the distant mountains in a swarm under the coercion of the Southern Barbarians.

The mountain was far away, less than three miles.
