Chapter 14 Moving Warehouses
It was a night of chaos, a night of bloodshed.
Wancheng was broken, and the eight thousand Xiliang Iron Riders were like a group of wild wolves that rushed into the village, showing their sharp fangs, and I don't know how many high-ranking families were looted, and the helpless cries and screams continued until dawn.
In these chaotic times, no one will have mercy on the weak.
It was not uncommon for the army to rob the people's property in private. When the smoke of war is ignited, it is the common people who suffer first, but they are deliberately forgotten by the rulers and never recorded in the history books.
And when it comes to barbarism and cruelty, the Xiliang Army is even more of the best.
Wancheng is Yuan Shu's territory, and now that it has been breached, how can the Xiliang army not kill a river of blood.
Luo Zheng did not relent, and led his soldiers to loot several large boxes of gold and silver treasures, all of which were put in the vegetable garden.
There are so many powerful and powerful families in Wancheng, it's a pity not to rob them, and there will definitely be no guilt in robbing these rich and unkind landlords, none of these wealthy families are good things.
Of course, Luo Zheng would never rob the people, but tried his best to restrain his subordinates and not to harm the people.
On this night, the entire Wancheng was wailing under the iron hooves of the Xiliang cavalry**.
By the time dawn came, the smoke from the fires that had raged everywhere was still thick and had not yet been extinguished.
Dead bodies and pools of blood can be seen everywhere on the street, all of which truly portray the desolation and helplessness of the troubled times.
All Luo Zheng can do is to strive for the upper reaches in the oven of this era, try to save his own life, and then master enough strength to do what he wants to do and no longer let this misery continue.
The 8,000 Xiliang army raged all night, and after dawn, they all lay on the warm beds in the high-ranking big house and dreamed of Zhou Gong.
Luo Zheng went to see Hu Zhen, and when he left Wancheng, he was driven out by Hu Zhen and ordered him to lead his troops to patrol the city.
It's hard to break Wancheng, how can you do it without looking for a few girls to be happy and happy.
Hu Zhen even connected the seven women last night, and his legs were sore and weak from tiredness, so how could he still have the strength and mood to hurry.
While thinking about the eighteenth generation of Hu Zhen's ancestors in his heart, Luo Zheng instructed the junior colonels in charge of patrolling the city, "Pass the order, no one in the city is allowed to walk around the streets at will, and if anyone violates the order, they will be killed on the spot." At the same time, if there are more than 50 people gathered, they will report it immediately and disperse the crowd. If there is a disobedient, there is no killing. ”
"Order."
Several junior colonels beat their spirits and urged the horses to leave.
Luo Zheng personally walked around the city, also found a mansion, and seized the time to rest and recuperate.
The owner of the mansion and his family have long been dragged out and tortured to death by the cruel Xiliang army, and the female dependents are serving the soldiers for sexual pleasure.
Chen Tong and more than a dozen personal soldiers stood outside the door, divided into two groups and took turns to rest.
When it was almost noon, Luo Zheng woke up, yawned, turned over and sat up.
With a movement of his mind, about three seconds later, a portal appeared in front of him.
Luo Zheng got up and stepped in, and the portal disappeared.
The vegetable garden is lush and green, and near the entrance there are several large boxes with treasure overflowing inside.
However, what is unusual is that in just a few hours, the vegetable garden has expanded tenfold, and the dense fog around it seems to shrink back in a large circle, revealing a large area of black land, exposing the vegetable garden the size of one acre in the middle.
"Uh, how can that be?"
Luo Zheng was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, "Could it be that this baby will not be upgraded?" ”
I grabbed a handful of black soil and sniffed it when I came out, and I smelled the fragrance of earth.
There is no doubt that this new extra land is the same as the geology in the vegetable field, the kind of fertile soil that thrives no matter what is grown.
"I can't fiddle with such a large piece of land alone."
Luo Zheng patted his forehead and ate a few tomatoes and cucumbers before coming out of the vegetable garden.
Coming to the door, Chen Tongzheng led six pro-soldiers to sit in the courtyard and stew a pot of dog meat to eat.
"Uh, the general is awake."
Seeing Luo Zheng, Chen Tong hurriedly jumped up.
Several pro-soldiers hurriedly turned around, and also got up and stood aside.
Luo Zheng moved his hands and feet and sniffed, "Where did you get the dog meat, give me a piece too." ”
Chen Tong hurriedly fished out a piece of dog meat from the cauldron and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general, the brothers don't dare to rob the people if they obey the general's orders, this big yellow dog was got by the brothers from a big family." ”
"Well, it's good not to rob the people."
Luo Zheng took the dog meat casually, sat by the fire and chewed it heavily.
Chen Tong and several pro-soldiers sat down around, eating much more than just now.
While chewing on dog meat, Luo Zheng asked, "Is there any movement in the city?" ”
Chen Tong replied: "There is no movement, those wealthy families have almost been killed, and there is no chaos." However, Zhao Junhou came to visit just now and said that the Nanyang arsenal was empty, and he only found 3,000 stone military rations in Cangli. ”
Luo Zheng asked: "Isn't Nanyang producing iron, how can the arsenal be empty?" ”
Chen Tong scratched his head and said, "This, the villain is not clear." ”
Luo Zheng thought about it again, since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, chaos has appeared in the world, the majesty of the imperial court is no longer there, the binding force on the feudal towns has been greatly weakened, and the princes everywhere are privately recruiting troops and horses to expand the army.
After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, he even recruited tens of thousands of strong men into the army, and it was strange to have something in the treasury.
"Can I find out what celebrities are in Nanyang?"
Luo Zheng asked again.
Chen Tong scratched his head and said: "The villain has already inquired, I heard that there is a Zhang Heng in Nanyang, there is a Fan Li, and a person named Deng Shou is also a cow, as for whether there are other celebrities, the villain doesn't know." ”
"Zhang Heng?"
Luo Zheng was stunned, Zhang Heng of course knew that he was a great astronomer in Chinese history.
As for Fan Li and Deng Shou, I don't have any impression at all.
"Think about it, is there anything else?"
Luo Zheng frowned and asked, when I watched the Three Kingdoms before, I remembered that there were a lot of celebrities and scholars in Nanyang, how could there be none.
Chen Tong scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and thought for a long time, and said in a whisper: "No, the villain will inquire about these three." ”
Luo Zheng said 'um', and then remembered that Nanyang is rich in fine iron, known as the 'iron capital', and the essence of iron smelting is even more famous in the Central Plains, and the iron-smelting technology should not be much worse, and those blacksmiths who strike iron are also talents.
In the eyes of people in this era, there are only strategists and generals, and they don't realize the importance of craftsmen at all.
However, three hundred and sixty-five lines, the line is the champion.
Luo Zheng, as a traverser, how could he not know this truth.
The handicraft production of Xiliang is far behind the Central Plains, and there are naturally not many skilled craftsmen.
If you go back to collect a group of craftsmen in Nanyang, you will definitely be useful in the future.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately ordered: "Pass on my military order, quickly recruit craftsmen, whether it is a blacksmith or a carpenter, as long as there is an elderly person with a skill, find it for me, go quickly." ”
"Well, the villain obeys."
Chen Tong was stunned and hurriedly took the order to do it.
After eating at noon, it was time to change the guard.
Hu Mao yawned and exchanged defenses with Luo Zheng, and led two thousand cavalry to patrol the city.
Luo Zheng took Chen Tong and more than a dozen personal soldiers to the warehouse in the north of the city.
When I was far away, I saw a group of soldiers pouring fire oil and preparing a fire to burn the grain in the barn.
"Stop."
Luo Zheng shouted loudly and hurriedly urged the horse to run over.
"See General Luo."
A group of Xiliang soldiers threw away the torches in their hands and saluted in a chaotic manner.
Luo Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Who told you to burn the granary? ”
A group of Xiliang soldiers, you looked at me, and after looking at it for a long time, one of the team leaders stubbornly said: "General Hui, the villain thinks that it is better to burn it clean than to leave this grain to Yuan Shu's traitor." ”
Luo Zheng said 'um' and waved his hand, "Okay, you guys stand down." ”
"Yes."
Dozens of soldiers did not dare to disobey and hurriedly retreated.
Luo Zheng turned over and dismounted, and strode in.
When I came to a corner where no one was around, I opened the door to the vegetable garden.
"Quick, get the food in."
Luo Zheng glanced at the more than ten pro-soldiers who were stunned and commanded loudly.
More than a dozen pro-soldiers had dull eyes and did not react, even Chen Tong was no exception.
"Hurry up, what's the fuss?"
Luo Zheng was furious and kicked Chen Tong hard.
Chen Tong was kicked and gnawed on the mud, and then he came back to his senses, sat on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "General, this and this ......"
It's been a long time, and I haven't come out of this for a reason, and I'm obviously scared.
Luo Zheng couldn't help patting his forehead, only then did he know that he had miscalculated.
The secret of the vegetable garden has never been revealed to anyone, and no second person knows it, no wonder Chen Tong will react in this way.
However, this era is ignorant and backward, unlike the 21st century, when ideas and concepts are changing with each passing day. People in this era usually attribute some incomprehensible things to ghosts, and are full of reverence for ghosts.
When encountering such incomprehensible things, even the most courageous people will be scared half to death.
As a veteran, Chen Tong has never been afraid of death. But for the legendary ghosts, no one is not afraid.
Luo Zheng had no choice but to move the food by himself, going in and out several times, and the eyes of Chen Tong and more than ten pro-soldiers were a little more focused, and the eyes of Luo Zheng looked at Luo Zheng one by one, and they had completely changed.
The eyes, as if an ignorant mortal were looking up at the immortals, were filled with deep awe.
"Come and move the food, damn, you dare to disobey the military order?"
Luo Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, and roared with his eyes.
Chen Tong and more than a dozen pro-soldiers were startled, and hurriedly ran over to help.
"Damn, there's a ghost!"
One of the soldiers carried a bag of grain into the vegetable garden, and immediately screamed in fright and fell to the ground.
Chen Tong and the other soldiers who came in from behind were also frightened with blue faces and white lips, and they couldn't stand on their feet with two trembling forces.
It wasn't until Luo Zheng yelled a few more times that he stood up one by one, desperately suppressed the fear in his heart, and under the coercion of Luo Zheng's murderous eyes, he moved bags of grain into the vegetable garden and stacked them in the vacant lot.
