On the night of October 29, Pingcheng, about 80 miles north of Yuzhou, was still calm as usual.

It is an ordinary county seat, in the jurisdiction of Nanwangfu, Pingcheng is not eye-catching, and there are only a school of soldiers and horses guarding the city in peacetime, and they are all ordinary garrisons. But when the Xiwang army invaded the land of the South Wangfu, Pingcheng had a special significance, and it became a place for the Xiwang Mansion to hoard grain and grass, and after Li Dai led the troops and horses to arrive, it was even more strictly guarded, after all, this was related to the logistics of the Xiwang army.

At this time, there were more than 2,000 defenders in Pingcheng. Mainly infantry.

Responsible for defending the city is the deputy general Yang Wei, Yang Wei is Yang Pingju's "righteous son", and he doesn't know much in the army, after all, he is said to be a righteous son, but Yang Pingju has many righteous sons, at most, when others talk about it, their faces are a little bright.

Yang Wei has served in the army for many years and is now twenty-nine years old, but he still has not yet married. Many people who know the bottom know that it is not that he does not want to start a family, but that Yang Pingju does not allow him to start a family, and he, the "righteous son", is not just a recognized father, but is raised by Yang Pingju like a dog, which makes him feel aggrieved.

This time, with Li Dai's expedition, he naturally wanted to make a name for himself by making military achievements, but Li Dai would not allow anyone in the army who might threaten his position, and Yang Wei was one of Li Dai's thorns, after coming to the land of Yuzhou, Yang Wei was stationed in Pingcheng, which was equivalent to cutting off his opportunity to go to the front.

"Li Shuai ordered that General Yang should not transfer troops and horses at will, nor should he intervene in the front-line battle at will."

Whenever the people below mentioned Li Dai, Yang Wei was a little upset. He knows. Several of his prison guards, many of whom were Li Dai's cronies, came over to monitor his every move in addition to keeping an eye on him.

"Come on, come with me to the city and inspect it!" Yang Wei said angrily.

The generals below couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, this Yang Wei, although he was only a deputy general, had a great temper, not so much that he was going to inspect the city. It's better for him to burn and loot. The good things he saw. will all be taken for themselves, including money, antiques and even women, just on the first day of stationing in Pingcheng, Yang Wei killed several people for robbing women. Because he is a lieutenant general. And this is the place where Yuzhou fell. No one dared to say anything. And Li Dai also ignored it after learning about it.

In Li Dai's opinion. As long as Yang Wei doesn't take credit from him, it has nothing to do with him who burns and loots.

"Look, General. It's already night, you're still out, are you ......?"

The name of the person who spoke was Ma Yu.

Although Yang Wei is a deputy general, this time he led the troops, and temporarily received the rank of a general. One of his adjutants is named Ma Yu, who is a few years older than him, and has prestige in the army, but because he has no connections in the army, he is also a deputy general, so he can only be an adjutant this time.

"What's wrong? Didn't the big families in the city say that they would pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Ben these days? Why is there no movement? Yang Wei said angrily.

Ma Yu's face showed embarrassment, when he greeted Yang Wei, the gentry in the city were also very enthusiastic, and they wanted to tie him up, no matter whether Pingcheng was stolen by the Xiwangfu or finally returned to Yuzhou, the army would not be ruined after the army. But after Yang Wei entered the city to create a killing, the gentry in the city had already hidden, who would dare to entertain him to lure the wolf into the house?

"General Yang, it could be ...... In the past few days, the battlefield has been tight, and the big families in the city feel that you are busy with business and dare not mention it again. Why don't I send someone to remind you of the big families in the city? ”

"No need, General Ben will go himself. Can General Ben recognize a few of them, doesn't it mean that one of them is someone from the Hu family in the west of the city? Yesterday, I went to the west of the city and saw the Hu family's mansion, which was very magnificent! ”

Ma Yu heard Yang Wei's meaning that he wanted to go directly to the Hu family to rob him, which frightened him. This robbery can be said to be a taboo in the army, even if no one is pursuing it now, but when the news reaches the ears of King Xi, not only Yang Wei will be held accountable, but even their adjutants will be held accountable.

"General Yang, this matter ......"

"Say what? Ben will go to inspect, could it be that Vice Admiral Ma wants to disobey the order? ”

Ma Yu hurriedly received the order, this Yang Wei can kill people without ambiguity. He didn't want to touch his head, and he had nowhere to redress if he was killed.

……

……

As night fell, the whole Pingcheng was very quiet, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, and some scattered soldiers could be seen stationed on the streets and alleys. However, because winter is coming, these soldiers are also hiding to the side to find a sheltered place to talk.

"The general is here to make his rounds!" At the corner of the street, I don't know who shouted, the soldiers who were hiding in the alley to roast meat and eat hurriedly came out, sorted out their uniforms and made a greeting gesture, but they only saw Yang Wei and some soldiers hurrying past from a distance, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the side of the street.

"General Yang, what is this going to do? Is there an emergency military situation? An unknown young soldier muttered.

An old man still held the burnt half-cooked meat in his hand, and sneered: "You don't understand this." In this Ping City, General Yang is an out-and-out emperor, what does he want to do, can you control it? ”

The young soldier sneered, and couldn't help but envy these generals in his heart. When you go out on an expedition, and you are in enemy territory, you can really enjoy it, and you can take whatever is good for yourself.

The soldiers sat down again to roast the meat, these meat, also they just snatched from a pig killer's house on the street, several pigs were robbed by them, the pig killer's daughter-in-law originally wanted to come out to reason, but was cut off by a knife, and then the pig killer cried and fled, these soldiers dragged the live pigs out, found a skilled pig to slaughter, the meat was divided, at this time the soldiers who were in charge of the vigil in the neighborhood a few streets, none of them were not trying to find a way to put these pork. They also haven't had a good meal for some days.

"You kid, did you go when you robbed pigs and killed people?" The old man suddenly glanced at the younger one and asked.

"I glanced at it from a distance, it was Captain Sun who did it, and I was a little trembling when I saw it, and I almost didn't move." The young man's heart palpitated and said, "That head, just like that, was cut off, bloody, just like this pig's head." ”

"You haven't been on the battlefield yet, you haven't killed anyone, and when you kill a few, you'll get used to it. But...... We bullied the defenseless people, it was not the work of the rebels, but it was good to have meat to eat, and if he was held accountable afterwards, it would not be on our heads. ”

As the old man was talking, a person on the other side of the fire handed over half a bowl of wine and said, "Lao Li, take a sip and warm up." ”

Lao Li took a sip with a smile, and wanted to drink it again, but he was already robbed. Lao Li asked, "Where did the wine come from?" Robbed? ”

"How can we do that kind of thing that is not done by people, this is what we bought, and we bought a jar for two dollars of silver. Hehe, it's on the other side of the wall, a chick who sells wine, and she's not bad. The man across the fire laughed.

Lao Li pulled the meat out of the fire, smiled and took a bite, but did not speak. The young man on the side glared and said, 'Really? ”

Lao Li glanced at the young man and said, "What's the matter, do you still want to go and see if you can?" If you can be seen by these people, you can't even drink a mouthful of soup. ”

The young man looked puzzled and said, "What soup?" ”

"Don't you understand? is still a chick, and I am still waiting to make military merits and go home to marry a daughter-in-law! ”

I don't know who said it, and then the soldiers around laughed.

The young man's face was a little embarrassed, but he also sat down, picked up the meat and ate it, but spit it out again, as if he was a little annoyed, and sat there without saying a word for a long time.

After a while, Lao Li next to him and a few people opposite him fell to the side as if they were drowsy, and only then did the young man change into another face, sneered, got up from the ground, grabbed a knife and slashed at the neck of the soldier who was laughing at him just now. But at this moment, several people rushed out from the side and stopped him.

"What are you going to do?" Everyone was dressed in black, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"I ...... I just want to kill them! The young man said.

"If you want to kill your mouth, don't use a knife, how can you wear your clothes when you have dirty clothes?" As the speaker spoke, he told people to strangle the people who had just eaten the meat with ropes.

At this time, Lao Li woke up slowly, looking at the man in black in front of him with some puzzlement, and the young man standing there without doing anything.

"You...... You ......" Lao Li pointed to the young man, but he was already exhausted, and after struggling a few times, he didn't know whether he was faint or dead.

The young man said coldly, "Bah, do you think I am kind enough to bring you meat to eat?" I was drugged a long time ago! ”

As he spoke, the people next to him had already changed their clothes, and the people who had been strangled by pulling out their clothes were thrown directly into the dry well on the side of the street.

"Let's go, keep up with the guy surnamed Yang." One of them ordered.

At this time, the young man looked at the courtyard next door with the lights on, because he remembered what he had just said, the handsome chick who sold wine.

"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's not good to be discovered! ”

The young man sighed at last, and followed the group and headed west of the city.

As soon as they came out of the road, there were people on the next street shouting at them to drink wine and eat meat, all of them were drunk and hazy, chatting about whether it was so lively or not, that is, some people passed by their cards and did not notice it.

At this time, the young man still turned to look at the small courtyard with the lights on, but saw several soldiers coming out of it with torches, walking one by one with staggering appearances, presumably after drinking and doing something inside. He gritted his teeth in anger and lifted the knife, but was pressed down by the people around him.

"What are you going to do? This is Yuzhou, not the land of my Jiangdu, and it is not our turn to take care of the affairs here. The person who spoke next to him was the leader of the group.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and the ringleader said this, indicating that he already knew what was going on in the small courtyard. But it still reminds him that it is important to do big things.

"If the land is uneven, how can we keep the world peaceful?" The young man spoke, but finally closed his eyes and sighed softly. (To be continued......)
