Chapter 34: The government forced the people to rebel
Xue Ye'er had already heard Fan Lihua tell what happened to her, and at this time, she saw a bloodied general walking over with a long lance, and couldn't help but stop and watch. Wen Hao is eight feet tall, although his skin is a little darker, but he is angular and his eyes are bright, but he can be regarded as young and handsome. Thinking that since he was elected to Xiyuan, more than a few years have passed, but he doesn't know where to rely on his life, he is a little sad.
"Yu'er, you're okay." Wen Hao only glanced at Xue Ye'er lightly, then stared at Fan Lihua, and refused to move his gaze elsewhere.
Fan Lihua frowned and said, "A few little ones are not ready to be caught, what can I do." It's you, who got bloodied and didn't hurt. β
"On a whim, kill a few more people." Wen Hao smiled, took off his helmet, and asked, "What about Yu Wenhua and Yang Yu?" β
"Yu Wenhua has been escorted out, and His Royal Highness the Acting King is in the building."
Seeing that the great work was done, Wen Hao stroked his palms excitedly and said, "Great, take me to see it!" β
Fan Lihua put her hand in her hand, blocked Wen Hao's way, and said, "No! The Queen Mother is also inside, you can't go in! β
"The Queen?" Wen Hao scratched his head and said, "Yang Yu is only a four-year-old doll, what kind of queen can he marry." β
Women rarely have status in this era, but Xue Ye'er has observed Wen Hao for a long time, but seeing that he has always been respectful to Fan Lihua, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, put a pair of swords behind her back, and said with a smile: "This is General Wen?" β
Wen Hao was surprised: "Who is this girl?" β
Fan Lihua said: "This is the good sister Xue Ye'er that I often tell you." β
"It turned out to be Miss Xue, and I often hear Yu'er mention you." Wen Hao exchanged a few words, continued the topic just now, and said, "A queen with a big palm, I can still eat her." Take me to meet Yang Yu, and send someone to report a message to the Lord. β
Fan Lihua said angrily: "His Royal Highness the Acting King is inside, don't you even believe my words!" You go out first. β
Wen Hao immediately shut up, but he refused to leave.
Xue Ye'er covered her mouth and smiled: "General Wen, Sister Yu'er is talking about the first emperor's Empress Xiao, you can't go in." β
"Empress Xiao!" Wen Hao was taken aback and exclaimed, "Wasn't she killed by the rebels along with Yang Guang?" β
When Yang Guangxi was on the expedition, Empress Xiao also followed him, and Wen Hao had seen him twice from afar in the army of the Western Expedition at that time. According to Yu Wenjing, Empress Xiao had been killed with Yang Guang, and now that she was alive and well, Wen Hao was even more surprised than Fan Lihua.
Fan Lihua glared at him and said, "Now that you know, why don't you quit quickly!" β
Empress Xiao is the emperor's woman, and the emperor's woman is not something that anyone can approach casually, especially men. Wen Hao's mind turned, and he already knew that Fan Lihua meant to let him avoid suspicion, so he hurriedly patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, such a big thing, I have to report to the lord quickly!" β
Xue Ye'er looked at Wen Hao's back as he left in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er, you little Langjun is really interesting. β
Fan Lihua shook her head and said, "He's a good person, but he trusts Liu Ziqiu too much." β
Xue Ye'er was puzzled: "Since Liu Ziqiu can gain the trust of your family, he should not be a bad person. β
Fan Lihua sighed and said, "There are some things that I can't tell you clearly. Let's go, look at the queen mother! β
Liu Ziqiu's assassination of Yang Guang was a secret, and Fan Lihua didn't even tell Wen Hao, let alone leak it to Xue Ye'er.
β¦β¦
However, it was said that Liu Ziqiu had just settled down in Guzang City, and news came from Zhangye that Shi Danai had completely annihilated Feng Xiaoci's reinforcements, but Shi Danai himself was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain. Hearing the news, Liu Ziqiu was both happy and worried, briefly explained the defense, and rushed to Zhangye County with a thousand cavalry. In the early morning of the next rì, Shi Danai's subordinates caught Liu Ziqiu and welcomed him into Minle County.
That day in the small mountain pass, Shi Danai led the crowd to save the group of young boys and girls, but he fell unconscious and was sent into the folk music city by several teenagers. Several centurions under Shi Danai took advantage of the situation to capture Minle City, and even Du Jun was also captured, and more than 6,000 people under Feng Xiaoci's department were also captured. Because Feng Xiaoci's subordinates wanted to insult the group of girls, and also wanted to kill the young man and pretend to be a military merit, which aroused public anger. The three counties of Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Wuwei are all border counties, and the people are often harassed by the nomadic tribes in the north, and they have also developed extremely fierce habits, so they naturally do not have a good face for these captives. Over the past two days, hundreds of captives have already been beaten to death.
The 3,000 cavalry led by Shi Danai also suffered heavy casualties in the first battle of the small mountain pass, and less than half of them still had combat effectiveness. But they sacrificed their lives to save the vast majority of young boys and girls, and although they had the faces of aliens, they were supported by the local people. There are also many young people who spontaneously take up arms and take the initiative to join this army. Many more people heard the news and rushed over from the four towns and eight towns.
The people were not afraid of the raids of the nomadic tribes, and even if a few people died, they were already used to suffering some losses. But those corrupt officials have to step on their corpses and climb up, which is the most terrifying. The so-called officials forced the people to rebel, and they were supposed to protect their parents, and the officials were greedy and took advantage of the points, but now they even have to take their lives, how can the people not rebel. Because Shi Danai was unconscious, several centurions did not dare to call the shots, so they had to let the people stay outside the city. When Liu Ziqiu led a thousand cavalry over, he saw a sea of people outside Minle City, and if it weren't for the cavalry in the city, he even suspected that these people were coming to attack the city.
Seeing so many people, Liu Ziqiu could no longer be indifferent, and immediately jumped off the horse and said loudly: "Just in the autumn harvest season, folks, please go back!" Don't delay the farming time! β
These days, the people have become familiar with Shi Danai's subordinates, and they have heard the soldiers mention Liu Ziqiu more than once. Seeing Liu Ziqiu coming, the people gathered around him, clamoring and shouting, unanimously demanding the execution of the captured officers and soldiers.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor!" Those soldiers are also from ordinary people, and if there is no connivance from the superiors, who would dare to do evil. Have any of the villagers seen Liu's subordinates doing evil? As long as someone identifies it, Liu will not be spared! It is precisely because of Liu's strict military discipline that the soldiers dare not act recklessly. Feng Xiaoci is mainly responsible for the corruption of military discipline in Feng Xiaoci, and asks the villagers to give those soldiers a chance to repent and reform. But Feng Xiaoci and Huang Hao will never forgive! β
There has always been only officials and officials who protect each other, but Liu Ziqiu only grabbed officials, not soldiers, and immediately won the favor of the people. Most of their children were not killed, and those evil soldiers had already been killed by them, and their anger was almost out, and now the target was successfully transferred by Liu Ziqiu to Feng Xiaoci and Huang Hao. It's just that Feng Xiaoci's whereabouts in the chaotic army are unknown, and Huang Hao is still cowering in Zhangye City.
"That's right! There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! Some people have already raised their arms and shouted, "Go, go to Zhangye City, and find Huang Hao to settle accounts!" β
The crowd was indignant, and the people gathered outside the city of folk music had reached tens of thousands, and they were now rushing to Zhangye City. Liu Ziqiu couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to lead a thousand cavalry to protect him. The mountain col where the fierce battle took place was not far from Zhangye City, and the situation on the battlefield had already been transmitted to Zhangye City. Thinking of the past, after the nomadic tribes attacked the border, the local government would always show off their military exploits, and I am afraid that there are also many people who were deliberately killed and pretended to lead the army, and the city of Zhangye has already been secretly surging.
When the people outside the city shouted to capture Huang Hao alive, the people in the city immediately moved. Huang Hao was shocked and hurriedly commanded the defenders to suppress it. The soldiers of the garrison were all locals, and most of them were related to the common people, and no one was willing to do their best, and some people quietly opened the city gates and let the people outside the city in. Huang Hao saw that the momentum was not right, so he changed into the clothes and armor of an ordinary soldier and wanted to sneak out of the city. But as Zhang Ye's Taishou, he often appears in front of people, and people who know him abound, and some people have already recognized him. One passed ten, ten passed hundred, bricks and stones smashed over like raindrops, and Huang Hao was smashed to pieces.
In fact, Huang Hao didn't do too many evil things, at least the battle in Xiaoshan Pass had nothing to do with him. It's just that the angry people don't care about these at all, chΓ‘o flooded into the mansion like water, and snatched all the property that Huang Hao had accumulated over the years, and even the beauty at the bedside didn't know who was taking her home.
Liu Ziqiu did not come forward to stop it. Who has no children, if those young boys and girls are really taken captive by nomadic tribes, they still have a chance to live, but they are just living in a difficult life. But when it fell into the hands of Feng Xiaoci's group of bandits, they had to be humiliated first and then killed. The anger of the people needs an outlet, and Huang Hao accidentally bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
By the time the chaos had subsided, it was almost dusk. Some of the people dispersed one after another, and many people still gathered there, insisting on asking for their lives, asking to join Liu Ziqiu's army to attack Yu Wenhua, who was entrenched in Longxi.
Liu Ziqiu didn't pretend anymore, and asked Da Du to stay and organize these people, and these more than 10,000 people were a decisive force with a little training, and he rushed back to Minle County with Ji Rentai. Shi Danai is one of the few generals he has under him, and he can't abandon him.
In Minle County, Shi Danai's face was like gold paper, his anger was like a gossamer, and several young boys and girls were guarding beside him with tears in their eyes. A middle-aged gentleman with a white face and a long beard bowed deeply to Liu Ziqiu and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this general has been treated by his family teacher, and his life is already safe, and whether he can fully recover depends on his creation." β
Liu Ziqiu stretched out his hand to take Shi Danai's pulse, bowed deeply to Mr. Na, and said: "Sir, no matter how expensive the medicine is, no matter how expensive the medicine is, I must let my brother recover as before, Liu will be grateful to Mr. Liu!" β
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, my lord! This general saved the innocence of the little girl, and even if the family is bankrupt, he must try his best to recover the general. β
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Then Liu thanked him first." I don't know where the respected teacher is, Liu wants to ask a few questions in person! β
