After Li Zicheng left, the generals also followed down the city wall, and after a while, the generals on the city wall walked cleanly, and then the old camp people who were Li Zicheng's most trusted and most important soon disappeared, and at this time, the only people left on the city wall who served as cannon fodder were gone.

And those displaced people who were used as cannon fodder are not fools, when they find that the fierce old camp rogues who used to supervise the war have disappeared one by one, they immediately realize that they have been abandoned.

Soon, panic was born. Countless homeless people threw away their hoes and sticks and swarmed down the city wall, some of them desperately ran out of the city, some of them wanted to go crazy before leaving, so they ran towards the residents' residences, and some even feared that the Xuan army would be slaughtered after entering the city, so they panicked to find a place to hide.

Liu Agen is also a member of the fleeing army, unlike those who feed the whole family and are not hungry, he is the one who drags the family, his daughter-in-law and a pair of children are in the city, that is his lifeline, if something happens in the chaos, he doesn't know if he still has the courage to live.

"Huhu...... Whew......"

Liu Agen panted and ran desperately towards the west of the city, still holding a hoe in his hand that had been almost grinded, which he brought out from home, even if he followed Liu Zongmin back from defeat yesterday, he was not willing to leave this guy who eats. To say that Liu Agen's life is also quite big, after yesterday's defeat, he was one of the few homeless people who fled back to the city with Liu Zongmin, but his life was not very good, he just lost the battle yesterday, and he continued to lose the battle today, I don't know when this day is a head.

Thinking of this, Liu Agen felt sour water in his stomach, and scolded his mother in his heart. Due to the defeat of the battle, the promised white flour buns were gone, and yesterday's dinner only had three coarse grain buns, and he gave two children and two daughters-in-law to eat one himself. But what can a steamed bun that is only half the size of a fist be used, and his stomach began to twitch this morning.

Since the city wall where Liu Agen was located was the one on the north side, it was a long distance to the west of the city, and he ran for nearly two quarters of an hour before he reached the residence of his daughter-in-law and children.

This is a dilapidated small courtyard covering an area of less than 200 meters, the original owner has been killed by the rogues, and Liu Agen's family of four lives here these days. When Liu Agen was about to run to the yard, he suddenly heard a noise mixed with crying and shouting from the yard, and his heart suddenly sank, and he immediately accelerated his speed and ran towards the yard, when he pushed open the courtyard door. The scene in front of him almost made him tear.

At some point, there was a group of homeless people in the dilapidated yard, and these homeless people were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in their homes, and that's it, Liu Agen also saw his children lying on the ground crying and crying, and two of them laughed wildly while dragging a woman towards the house inside, and the woman was his daughter-in-law.

"These brutes!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Agen only felt that his blood was surging, and he roared wildly, rushed to the yard like a whirlwind, and hit a rogue who was dragging his daughter-in-law on the head with a hoe in his hand. I only heard the muffled sound of "pop". Just like Liu Agen smashed a dirt smash with a hoe on weekdays, this rogue's head immediately cracked.

After smashing the head of the rogue, Liu Agen did not stop it, but smashed the hoe in his hand into the chest of another stunned rogue. After a muffled sound, the ribs in the rogue were also shattered, and several of them fell to the ground, wailing loudly, and spitting blood mixed with black blood clots in his mouth, and he couldn't survive.

"Master!"

The woman who had regained her freedom immediately cried and rushed over and hugged Liu Agen, who had no time to speak. Seeing this, the remaining three homeless people in the courtyard also shouted, and they all picked up the sticks in their hands and rushed towards Liu Agen. Liu Agen had no choice but to push his daughter-in-law away, pick up the hoe, and fight with these homeless people.

But as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and Liu Agen couldn't beat these homeless people no matter how hard he tried, and he was soon knocked to the ground, and the hoe in his hand was thrown aside at some point. He was also pressed to the ground and beaten by these three rogues, fortunately, these rogues were also like him, and they didn't have any weapons in their hands, just beat people with the fists in their hands, but despite this, Liu Agen was also beaten to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and was dying, although Liu Agen's daughter-in-law kept blocking them, but still couldn't stop the atrocities of these rogues.

"Please spare him...... As long as you let him go, you can do whatever you want! Liu Agen's daughter-in-law pleaded bitterly on the side.

"Haha...... Little girl, don't worry, we will serve you again after we solve your man! ”

One of the homeless people smiled at the woman with his hair on the side while beating Liu Agen, and the other homeless man smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the woman's chin and said with a smile: "Little lady, don't worry, I will definitely serve you well after our brothers solve your man."

"Hahaha......"

After hearing this, these rogue robbers laughed wildly, although there were still two companions lying next to them, but they didn't care in the slightest, for those of them who have a future and a tomorrow can enjoy a moment, there is nothing in this world that they dare not do.

"Bang dang!"

At that moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and four or five sergeants in green uniforms and armed with muskets broke in. Seeing these people, the laughter of several homeless people who were laughing wildly stopped abruptly like ducks choked by the neck, and one of the homeless people suddenly shouted: "Not good, the officers and soldiers are here!" Run......"

The homeless person's reaction was not bad, after letting go of Liu Agen on the ground, one turned over and jumped up and ran towards the courtyard to climb over the wall, but he underestimated the Xuanda army that broke into the door, as soon as these firecrackers who had just come in saw that someone was about to run, two sergeants immediately rushed forward with an arrow, and the firecracker in his hand smashed towards him, and with two muffled sounds, the homeless man who was trying to apply oil on the soles of his feet was immediately smashed to the ground, followed by a burst of punches and kicks that made him can't stop wailing.

Soon after questioning, Liu Agen's family and the displaced people were sent out of the city and placed in a vacant lot in the south of the city, where Liu Agen also saw many displaced people who were pressed like their family. Liu Agen's daughter-in-law and two children followed him closely, and the four of them snuggled tightly together, trembling with fear as they looked at the officers and soldiers who were patrolling with guns around them.

The woman and the two children are just that, Liu Agen, who fought with the Xuan army in Xiaotaoshan yesterday, saw with his own eyes how the Xuan army beat tens of thousands of them to the ground, and the overwhelming cannonballs and the dense rain of bullets like rain made Liu Agen's legs tremble even now when he thinks about it.

"Boss. These officers and soldiers will not ...... Won't kill us, will you? Liu Agen's woman snuggled tightly to her man's side and asked nervously.

"No...... No, they are officers and soldiers, besides, we are all good citizens of the Ming Dynasty, how could they kill us. Although Liu Agen tried his best to comfort his daughter-in-law, his trembling hands had betrayed him.

"Daddy...... I'm afraid! The two children were visibly frightened, clutching their father's shirt like their mothers.

"Y'all over there!" The voice of a sergeant of the Xuan Army came from the side......

This victory came very suddenly, tens of thousands of Liukou were defeated in this way, except for Li Zicheng and other groups and thousands of old camp men, the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 Liukou became prisoners of the Xuanda army.

Looking at the dense captives in the clearing, Chu Di's face was full of smiles that could not be concealed. It stands to reason that he has fought a lot of battles with Yue Yang. Even the Manchu Tartars, who had been rampant outside the customs for decades, were beaten down by them, and these rogues should not be in China. But Chu Di was still very happy, because this victory under his independent command also meant that from now on he could be regarded as a general under Yueyang, which was very beneficial to his status in the Xuan army.

Chu Di knew very well that as Yueyang's power and territory could not expand, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities for Yue Yang to personally lead troops to issue certificates in the future, so who would lead the troops to the battle? It must be these people, as long as they can make meritorious contributions, they will definitely be indispensable for being promoted to become rich and having a wife and children in the future. Moreover, Yue Yang has never been stingy with rewards for his generals, and these things have long been clearly written in the military regulations, especially for a master like Yue Yang, who is not bad for money, material rewards have always been very generous. It's just that after receiving material rewards, Chu Di's generals have long set their sights on how to increase their ranks. After all, most men are power animals, especially those who are not eager to be promoted.

Seeing that Chu Di was in a good mood, a Qian general next to him couldn't help but ask curiously: "My lord, Liukou has just been defeated." Why don't we hurry up and chase it, why do we put our strength on these homeless people? ”

"You know what." Chu Di squinted at this Qian Zong, and said dissatisfiedly: "Now the important thing is to quickly settle these displaced people. Otherwise, once they are not properly handled, these homeless people will soon become gangsters again, and it is difficult for us to be busy suppressing bandits every day. And no matter how you say these homeless people, they are also my Ming people, so you can't kill them all, right? ”

"That's just as well." This Qian Zong muttered two sentences in his mouth, but he always felt that there was something wrong with Chu Di's words.

In fact, there are some words Chu Di didn't say, and now the Xuan army under the leadership of Yue Yang seems to be a sign of the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them behind their backs, hoping that they will make mistakes or find faults. They have already beaten the Tartars outside the gate like that, if they kill the Liukou again, then there are Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and those people, this kind of thankless thing Yue Yang will naturally not do, so before leaving, Chu Di got Yueyang's order, don't kill those Liukou quickly, just drive them out of Shandong, and leave the rest to Lu Xiangsheng for a headache. But these things cannot be said to middle- and low-ranking officers below the thousand-level general number.

Not to mention Yueyang's crackling little abacus, let's just say that now the displaced people who have been gathered in the south of the city are panicked when they look at the surrounding soldiers who are holding firearms and looking at them one by one, after so many years of war in the Ming Dynasty, the virtues of the officers and soldiers have long been clear to the common people, saying that the officers and soldiers are sometimes more ruthless than bandits, and it is common to kill good people and take meritorious deeds, coupled with the propaganda of the rogues, the officers and soldiers have long been comparable to demons in the hearts of these homeless people.

"They're all lined up...... It's time to eat! ”

Just when the homeless people were nervous, suddenly a group of people came from a distance, these people were different from the sergeants with firearms, but they pushed the two-wheeled carts to the open space and shouted loudly.

"Everyone is lined up, it's time to eat!" A loud voice kept ringing in the clearing.

"Daddy...... They said it was time to eat! Liu Agen's eight-year-old daughter pointed in the direction from which the voice came and said timidly to her father.

Before Liu Agen could speak, his daughter-in-law scolded in a low voice: "You greedy girl, you think these meals are for us, don't dream." ”

In the eyes of Liu Agen's daughter-in-law. There has never been a steamed bun in vain in the sky, and those officers and soldiers would have been so kind to give them something to eat if they didn't kill them and cut off the merits of the leaders.

"Mother...... But my brother and I are hungry! The little girl looked at her parents with wide eyes, and her thin little face was full of longing.

Looking at the pleading eyes on her daughter's face, her tears couldn't help flowing anymore, and she hugged a pair of children and cried out, when will such a day be the end.

Liu Agen listened to the cries of his daughter-in-law and children, his heart was also sour, although the original life was sad, he could still get by, but since the family was plagued by the gangsters, the old mother was starved to death. Then his family followed the homeless to live a bumpy life. It's been more than half a year, and my family hasn't had a full meal, and they all complain that they have no ability!

In fact, not only Liu Agen, but also the tens of thousands of rogues gathered on the ground within a radius of miles also looked at the group of people pushing two-wheeled carts over, these people were wearing green military uniforms like the officers and soldiers next to them, but the difference was that they were wearing a white high hat on their heads, which looked very funny.

As these two-wheelers arrived one after another, the smell of incense filled the clearing. More and more displaced people are looking at them.

Soon, a military commander Xuan Dajun stepped on a big car, holding an iron horn in his hand and shouting to everyone: "Listen, big guys, you are all thieves." It stands to reason that all thieves must be put to death! But my Xuan army is all soldiers and horses under the command of Marquis Yue, Marquis Yue upholds the heart of leniency and does not hold you accountable, Hou Ye can't bear to see you starve to death, so he specially asked us to send you food. Now everyone comes to get a steamed bun, and they have to queue up without many people and no noise, do you understand? ”

"What? Xuan Dajun is still in charge of food? ”

Hear here. Almost all the homeless people were stunned, these officers and soldiers did not kill them and gave them food, what is the matter today, is it possible that the sun is coming out in the west?

"I heard you right, did I? These officers and soldiers actually gave us steamed buns? Liu Agen's daughter-in-law looked at her man with a look of disbelief and asked in surprise.

Liu Agen hesitated for a moment before replying: "I don't know about this, you didn't listen to them, they are the team of Marquis Yue." ”

Looking at the two-wheeled vehicles not far away, Liu Agen's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't we go over and get the buns, you see that the two babies in our family are so hungry." ”

"Wait a little longer......" Liu Agen looked around hesitantly, no one dared to go over, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Mother...... I'm hungry! The voices of the son and daughter rang out in unison.

Liu Agen's daughter-in-law scolded fiercely: "Whatever, if he dies, he will die, even if I die, I will give the two babies a full meal and then die, I will let it go." With that, he pulled a pair of children and ran towards the two-wheeled cart not far away.

"Hey...... You wait for me! Seeing his daughter-in-law passing over with her son and daughter, Liu Agen couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly followed.

Liu Agen's daughter-in-law took her children's hands and came to a two-wheeled vehicle, and said to the sergeant behind the car with a smiling face: "This military master, I heard that you are in charge of food, and I am here to receive steamed buns." She said as she looked at the sergeant nervously, fearing that he would scold herself for a sudden attack.

At this time, Liu Agen also ran up, nodded at these sergeants and said: "This military master can't help it, my mother-in-law is not sensible to disturb you, don't blame her, I'll take them away." After speaking, Liu Agen took his mother-in-law's hand and was about to leave.

But something unexpected happened to her, and instead of scolding or hitting her, the sergeant shouted, "Alas...... What are you going to do, don't you want to eat? Come here, everyone comes and get a bun! ”

After saying that, the sergeant lifted the white cloth on the car, and suddenly a burst of heat came out, revealing a pile of white buns. He picked up a clip, picked up two big buns, handed them to the two children, and said with a smile: "Gotta ...... The two little ones must be hungry...... Eat it. And the two of you, come over and get a bun each. ”

Looking at the piles of steamed buns on the car, Liu Agen asked in disbelief: "Master Jun, is this ...... It's really for us to eat. ”

"Of course, could it be that I still have the leisure to deceive you?" The sergeant said impatiently, "Do you want it?" ”

"Yes...... Absolutely! In the face of such a good thing, a fool doesn't want it, Liu Agen and his wife hurriedly stepped forward and each received a bun, nodded to the sergeant, and went down with a thousand thanks.

Seeing that Liu Agen's family really received the steamed buns, the homeless people who watched them on the side rushed forward and began to grab the steamed buns, and a chaotic and shouting and scolding began to stage...... (To be continued......)
