November 9 of the seventh year of Chongzhen

The biting cold wind kept blowing, and the streets and alleys of Hunyuan Prefecture were full of homeless people who had fled the city, wearing all kinds of clothes and even pieces of cloth that could be found. These ragged men looked numb, their eyes showed only despair for God, and they kept walking down the streets, knowing that there was little hope, but they still hoped that they would find even the slightest thing to satisfy themselves, so that they or their loved ones could survive.

The north wind is blowing, the goose feathers and snow are constantly falling from the sky, and the snowflakes decorate the earth with extraordinarily enchanting, of course, this is the idea of those literati and scholars who have eaten enough to eat and have nothing to do without illness "shenyin".

It was a terrible sight for the homeless who had not eaten or drunk, and the snow crushed everything that could be eaten underneath the earth, and the cold wind kept piercing the bones. The homeless people who have no food and clothing are forced to sleep on the streets, and a group of people never wake up after dawn every day, such weather is undoubtedly the most terrible demon for them.

The government that they had pinned their hopes on did not set up a porridge shop to open a warehouse to put grain, and gradually the displaced people despaired, they realized that if the situation continued like this, it would not take a few days for themselves or their families to be starved to death, and when the shadow of death continued to appear in front of them, something called hatred gradually flashed in their eyes, and an inexplicable love was also transmitted among tens of thousands of displaced people.

In an unknown alley in the north of the city, there is a small dilapidated temple, which was occupied by a group of unknown homeless people some time ago, all of whom are young and strong, and unlike ordinary homeless, although they are also wearing tattered clothes. However, the clothes are obviously thicker than those of ordinary homeless, and their faces do not have the malnourished dishes of ordinary homeless, and they do not look like ordinary homeless people in terms of walking or movement.

It began to be evening again, and dozens of homeless people gathered inside the ruined temple. Their figures were dimly illuminated by the faint light.

A deep voice sounded first, "Ma Laosi, have you checked the situation in the city?" How was the defense of the city, how many officers and soldiers were there, and were there any patrols at night? ”

A man with a long face grinned, and he replied disdainfully, "Mr. Wang Whistle." You can rest assured, those dog officers and soldiers will never come out to patrol on such a snowy day, I have been taking my brothers to investigate for several days, and those officers and soldiers are either training on the school field or distributed on the city wall all day, and there are no extra troops to patrol the city. Moreover, I heard that a few days ago, hundreds of officers and soldiers here were actually making a fuss, but they were all killed by the new commander and acquaintance. It's a pity, we were late and didn't see that dog-eat-dog show. ”

"Ma Laosi, is what you said true?"

"It's true, these are all things that I and dozens of brothers have inquired from the mouths of the people in the city, and they have seen it with their own eyes, so there can be any falsehood!" The man named Ma Laosi replied in the affirmative. Then he smashed his mouth again and said: "But then again, the new commander named Yue Yang is also a ruthless person, and he is not merciful when he kills his own people." I heard that the school yard that day was full of corpses, and blood was dripping all over the ground. ”

As soon as Ma Laosi's words fell, a voice sounded: "Wait...... What do you say the new conductor is called? ”

Ma Laosi was stunned and replied: "It's called Yueyang, what's the matter, Mr. Wang Whistle?" ”

"Yueyang ......" Wang Whistle asked eagerly, "Do you know where the official named Yueyang was transferred from?" ”

"Well...... Let me think about it. Ma Laosi thought for a while and said: "It seems to be transferred from Yingzhou Mansion, I heard that it was because of what merit was made, so he was transferred to Hunyuan Prefecture by the imperial court." ”

"What...... It turned out to be him! As soon as Ma Laosi's words fell, the face of the whistle surnamed Wang changed a little.

"What's wrong, Mr. Wang. Could it be that this dog official surnamed Yue has no origins? Seeing that Mr. Wang's face changed suddenly, Ma Laosi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wang Xuanzong couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face, he lowered his head and said slowly: "If the Yueyang you said is really transferred from Yingzhou Mansion, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for us to move this time. ”

As soon as Wang Whistle said this, all the people around him looked at him in surprise. Ma Laosi even asked, "Why...... We're all ready here, how can we give up halfway, could it be that the person surnamed Yue has three heads and six arms? ”

Chief Wang Whistle took a breath, "It's not that there are three heads and six arms, but this surnamed Yue is indeed a ruthless character." Do you remember the two years ago when I followed the Eight Kings to attack Yingzhou Capital? ”

Another man also nodded and said: "I know, we have heard, back then, you and the Eight Kings were ordered by King Chuang to attack Yingzhou Mansion, and they were about to attack it, but in the end they were surrounded by a large group of officers and soldiers, and you and the officers and soldiers fought fiercely for a long time and saw that the casualties were too great, and finally had to retreat." ”

Wang Shao always looked around and asked, "You all think so?" ”

"Isn't it?" Ma Laosi and the men around him asked very puzzled.

Wang Whistle's face was bitter: "Actually, you all don't know that the battle situation at that time was indeed about to attack Yingzhou Mansion, and it was indeed an army of officers and soldiers who were killed from behind. But it is not that you said that it was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the brigade, in fact, there were only about 500 officers and soldiers, and we fought with that officer and soldier for less than two hours before the whole line was defeated, and less than 1,000 of the more than 10,000 brothers finally fled back. ”

After Wang Whistle finished speaking, there was silence all around. Everyone was looking at him in disbelief.

"How...... Don't you believe? Wang Whistle always looked at the suspicious eyes of everyone and said unhappily: "Anyway, Lao Tzu's words are like this, you love to believe it or not, and if you don't believe it, pull it down!" After saying that, Wang Shou always stood up and was about to leave.

"No...... Isn't it ......" Ma Laosi grabbed Mr. Wang Whistle's sleeve and said eagerly: "Mr. Wang Whistle, there were more than 10,000 of you at that time, can't you even beat 500 people?" Not to mention more than 10,000 people, even if 10,000 pigs rushed over, the 500 people died almost dead, right? ”

Wang Whistle snorted coldly: "We thought the same thing at the time, but the result was that we were almost wiped out. ”

Looking at Mr. Wang's solemn expression, everyone's expressions became solemn. They knew that their leader would not joke about it at this time.

After a long time, Ma Laosi patted his thigh and said; "I'm afraid, there is an old saying that is different. This time we're in the dark, they're in the light. The person surnamed Yue is not an immortal, he definitely doesn't know that we are going to do it in his lair, and you also know the atmosphere in the city now, after so many days, the government has not put a grain of grain at all, and those homeless people can do anything if they are forced to do anything. Now there are more than 30,000 displaced people in the city, as long as we climb the heights and shout, these more than 30,000 people will make a lot of trouble in this city. Now the officers and soldiers in the city can't even splash a splash, so it won't take a day, this city is ours, if we are lucky, catch the surname Yue, and give him to the eight kings, then our credit will be great! ”

"Yes, I'm afraid. There are more than 3,000 officers and soldiers here, and now we have more than 300 brothers in the old battalion who have mixed into the city, plus tens of thousands of homeless people in the city, it is enough to kill all the officers and soldiers here! ”

Ma Laosi's words still worked, and the men around him patted their chests and made bold words, as if they only had to push lightly, and the city would collapse.

"That's right...... Let's try it! Looking at the people around him with a confident look, Ma Laosi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed, they discussed for a while, and finally decided to take Hunyuan Prefecture tomorrow evening......

The sky slowly brightened, and Ma Laosi, who had been discussing for half a night last night, was still immersed in their dreams, and the fire that was originally burning around them was also extinguished, and a faint wisp of green smoke came out.

Ma Laosi, who was sleeping on an earthen platform, suddenly heard a commotion outside, and after a while, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in front of the door.

"it...... Let's go! ”

"If it's too late, it's gone!"

"Daddy...... Hurry up, the third uncle and his family have passed! ”

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu, hurry up!"

The chaotic sound became louder and louder, and finally woke up everyone in the ruined temple.

Ma Laosi opened his eyes in a daze, he thought something was wrong, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to hold the long knife under him and shouted in a low voice: "One of the people who can still breathe outside comes in, what happened?" ”

A rush of footsteps came, and a man panted and ran to Ma Laosi and said hurriedly: "Brother Ma, something happened, I just heard that porridge shops have been set up in various parts of the city this morning." ”

"What? The government actually gave porridge? ”

Ma Laosi was stunned for a moment, what the hell is going on, doesn't it mean that there is no food in the official warehouse? How can the government give porridge?

Not only Ma Laosi, but also the other men in the small temple were stunned one by one, and finally they all focused their eyes on the general Wang Sentinel......
