Five hundred cavalry rolled to kill, the narrow city gate road immediately screamed in the sky, crying, the south gate guards in more than ten officials with Chen Ji escaped from the city, long ago scattered in a hurry, each ran for his life, no one resisted at all.

Luo Zheng quickly fought out of the city and drove back all the landlords and squires who had escaped hundreds of paces.

The landlords and squires who had not yet had time to escape from the city were all blocked in the city.

As soon as Luo Zheng saw this situation, he immediately sent two groups of cavalry, each with 150 people, to kill the east and west gates.

Chen Ji has fled, presumably the defenders of the east and west gates will not continue to wait for death.

As the day dawned, the shouting and killing in the city finally became quieter.

The camp north of the city was breached, more than half of the defenders of the city fled from the city, and a small part hid in the homes of the people, and only a small part was killed in the battle, until the sun rose and the remnants of the recalcitrant rebels were eliminated.

Luo Zheng dispatched 300 cavalry to patrol the streets and suppress the rebellion by bloody means, but anyone who dared to go out into the streets without permission was indiscriminately beheaded, so as to prevent the private soldiers and slaves of the landlords and squires from gathering to cause rebellion.

Once the peace of the prosperous era is broken, all that remains is ruthlessness and bloodshed.

The people of Wancheng are still good to say, after all, the world has been in turmoil these years, and the smoke of the Nanyang war seems to have never been broken, first there was the Yellow Turban Uprising, and then the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry were raging when the princes of the East were fighting for Dong, and now the Xiliang cavalry has entered Wancheng again, and the Baisheng of Wancheng has long been numb to the war, and did not panic, but closed the door and waited for the unknown fate at home.

Those landlords and squires had the heart to cry, and they thought that Wancheng was a well-known fortified city. Hiding in Wancheng is much stronger and safer than those low Zhuangziwu forts, but I didn't expect Wancheng to be attacked.

I knew it was so. The family escaped from Nanyang cleanly, who would come to Wancheng.

It's too late to say anything now, so I can only pray secretly that the Xiliang Army can let go of their kindness and let them go.

To the west of the city, a huge grain was opened by the Xiliang soldiers.

Luo Zheng only glanced at it, and immediately lifted his spirits. "Okay, great, so much food. I'm afraid it's 100,000 stones. Nanyang is worthy of being the first county of the Han Dynasty, although it has been war-torn several times, but the ability to restore fù is really amazing, and it has only been a few years. There is so much grain in the Wancheng warehouse. No wonder Yuan Shu is so rich. ”

Xu Chu also said with an excited face: "Lord, with so much food, plus the food that has been raised by raiding several cities these days, I am afraid that there are 150,000 stones, saving some food, enough for the army to eat for a year." ”

Luo Zheng made a heavy 'um' sound and waved his hand, "Move!" ”

The door to the dish soon opened. It overlapped with the gate of the barn.

Hundreds of people rushed out, first in a daze. Then, under the supervision of several angry Xiliang soldiers, they quickly carried bags of grain and rushed into the vegetable garden, next to the thick fog, and placed them on the west side of the vegetables.

Most of these people are the displaced people who Luo Zheng has taken in from Nanyang over the years, and they are young and strong men.

Since the beginning of spring, Yuzhou has been fighting, the land of Jianghuai and the war is unbearable to the suffering of war, there are many families who fled to Nanyang and Jiangxia and other places for refuge, the government does not take in, naturally become a homeless.

The homeless people were miserable, there was no food, and the old and weak women and children were either starved to death or died of disease on the way to escape.

Those who can escape to the hinterland of Nanyang are all young and strong men, and none of them are old, weak, sick or disabled.

In addition to the homeless people who were sheltered, there were also some private soldiers and slaves captured from the landlords and squires, as well as the captives captured after breaking through the large and small cities, and nearly a thousand people had been housed in the vegetable garden, and just to feed these people, they had to get a lot of food.

After waiting for a whole morning, tens of thousands of stone grains were all moved into the vegetable garden.

After the counting, there were 56,000 grains.

When Luo Xu returned to the Taishou Mansion to rest, Xu Chu had already brought people to bring hundreds of large boxes.

Wancheng is not as small as Shunyang, there are not only more landlords and squires here, but also more abundant family backgrounds, and the amount of gold and silver treasures looted is far from being comparable to other small counties. Especially in recent years, a large number of landlords and squires have poured into Wancheng, without exception, they have brought all the goods they can bring, and they have not been able to escape after breaking the slope, and they have been blocked back by the Xiliang cavalry.

Luo Zheng had already been numb to it, and when he opened the vegetable garden, his soldiers immediately moved hundreds of large boxes into it.

Xu Chu came up and asked, "Lord, I heard that the grain in the warehouses of the Zhang family, the Wang family, the Deng family, the Yin family, and the Wen family is about to pile up, if you copy these families, you can raise at least 300,000 stone of military food." ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "General Ben can't leave Jincheng for too long, and he still has to go to Yingchuan and Chenliu, so he won't take a long detour to the south of Nanyang." However, isn't the Wen family in Wancheng, why haven't you seen anyone from the Wen family? ”

Xu Chu said: "The last general has just inquired clearly, although the Wen family is a big family in Wancheng, but most of the clansmen are not in the city, but have built many Zhuangzi and Wubao in various places, scattered and lived, and most of the money and grain are in Wubao in various places. ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Then grab it all the way, grab a few more Zhuangzi, and you can always get some grain and grass." ”

Xu Chu answered yes and asked, "The lord went to Yingchuan, but he wants to return to Guanzhong from Luoyang?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Let's talk about this when the time comes, Xiliang lacks iron, and General Ben has tried his best, and he can't build enough weapons for tens of thousands of troops." Nanyang is rich in fine iron, since you are here, how can you not get more gold and iron! ”

Xu Chu said: "I will do it at the end!" ”

Luo Zheng said again: "Don't be fine iron, but also cloth, salt, silk and linen, etc., as long as it is something that can be used, get more for the general, and scrape those wealthy families as clean as possible, but remember not to rob the people." ”

"Yes."

Xu Chu suddenly responded to the order and immediately led his troops to continue to raid the house.

Busy until the afternoon, the huge Taishou Mansion, all kinds of materials are about to pile up.

Xu Chu's iron pots, iron nails, iron chains, etc., as long as they were made of fine iron, were all looted by one without leakage, and they looted a high-ranking family in Wancheng.

No way, Liangzhou is too poor.

In addition to shearling and fur goods, there is nothing else that is missing.

Luo Zheng did not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron, and he could not equip all the troops under his command with standard weapons.

Many Qianghu soldiers either use wooden guns, or the swords are doped with copper, the hardness is not enough, and a few people will collapse and curl the blade, which is undoubtedly very dissatisfied with Luo Zheng, who wants to take the route of elite soldiers.

After dark, the Xiliang cavalry quietly reported from Wancheng.

However, it was not until the next morning that people found out that at some point, the Xiliang army had left.

Overnight, the bustling city quickly collapsed.

Bowang, Simon.

Hundreds of people stood at the gates of the city, shouting and cursing with excitement.

Although the cities were attacked by the Xiliang army one after another, the landlords and squires had no choice. Although he knew that even if he hid in the city, it was not necessarily safe, because even the strong Wancheng was attacked, but driven by panic, those landlords and gentry who were greedy for life and afraid of death still flocked to the city without hesitation, hoping that the tall city could bring them a little sense of security.

However, when these landlords and squires arrived, they found that the four gates of Bowang had been completely closed.

The guards at the head of the city had already said loudly that in order to prevent the Xiliang army from entering the city, the county commander personally ordered that the four gates of Bowang be completely closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so that those landlords and squires would go back to their respective homes.

Naturally, the squires were not happy and protested sternly, but to no avail.

Bowang County Commander is determined not to open the city gate.

Because even Wancheng was attacked by the elusive Xiliang army, at this time, if you don't completely close the city gate, you are looking for death, God knows if the Xiliang army is mixed with the private soldiers and slaves of these landlords and squires.

"Hey, I can't get in here."

Behind the crowd, Xu Chu waved his arms fiercely, looking unwilling.

Luo Zheng's face was gloomy, and he saw that he had no chance to enter the city, so he immediately said, "Let's go, get out of here first." ”

Xu Chu hurriedly followed, and the two quickly stayed away from Bowang West Gate.

It wasn't until I walked more than two miles away that I could see a figure again.

Xu Chu hurriedly asked, "Lord, what should I do now?" ”

Luo Zheng said fiercely: "Since the city can't be mixed, then continue to loot the manors of those landlords and squires, all the way from Nanyang to Yingchuan, accumulate a lot, and it will not be a problem to raise tens of thousands of stone military rations." ”

Xu Chu said: "There are many people in Nanyang, do you want to catch more people?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Just take in some of the displaced people, don't harm the people." The number of people this general can bring is limited, and if he only catches the strong men, he will inevitably break up countless families, leaving how the old and the young, women and children can survive. ”

Xu Chu bowed his head, but wondered in his heart, where did the lord take everyone.

I think I know a lot of things, but I just can't remember it.

It's a feeling that drives people crazy, and you can't help but go crazy.

Xu Chu pulled his hair fiercely, wanting to ask for an understanding, but he didn't dare to ask.

Just then, a fast horse came from afar.

"Lord, something is wrong!"

The scout cavalry who went to explore the road rushed to the front, turned off his horse, and panted on one knee: "The villain found two thousand cavalry ten miles east of Bowang, and they are coming to Bowang, and at most there will be one more pillar of incense to reach Bowang." ”

"Two thousand cavalry?"

Luo Zheng's face suddenly froze, "Have you ever seen the banner clearly, whose cavalry is it?" ”

The scout replied: "The word 'Ji' is on the general's banner, I don't know who led the army, but judging from the armor, it should be the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command." ”

Xu Chu said puzzledly: "What did Yuan Shu send cavalry to Nanyang for?" ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, it must be that Chen Ji has already reported the news to Yuan Shu, and most of the two thousand cavalry were sent by Yuan Shu to exterminate General Ben." Hehe, Yuan Shu's straw bag, after all, it will be difficult to make a big deal, so I won't let him bleed! (To be continued......)
