Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In an unknown mountain village in Longmen, Shanxi, crows croak, geese chirp endlessly.

The remnant sun was like blood, gilding the barren plain with a layer of blood, and suddenly a team of fast horses galloped by, startling a string of crows to scream.

When the horses had passed, the crows gathered and fell to the ground again, pecking at the shriveled bones.

Along the official road, the bark of the trees was stripped clean, and there was not a single inch of grass on the ground.

There is loess flooding everywhere, and there is starvation everywhere.

The homeless, the large number of homeless, the homeless everywhere, drifted like ghosts, like locusts sweeping the ground, gnawing at every slightly emerald place.

Now that it is getting late, the temperature has plummeted, and tens of thousands of ragged people have gathered in the forest to take shelter from the wind. Among them, their faces were withered, and many of them were armed with clubs and knives, and they were gathered together in the forest.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than twenty horses appeared on the right side of the forest.

"I'm back." Everyone looked at each other and looked forward to it.

The bearded man, dressed in a two-gear armor, stopped his horse with a snort, turned over and dismounted.

At this time, all the people with red eyes rushed from the woods, and countless men, women, and children flocked to it

At this time, the knight immediately took out a cloth bag, took the white steamed buns from it, and threw them directly into the pile.

At this moment, countless people jumped up, to grab, to fight, to grab this steamed bun.

Babies cried and cried, no one paid attention, and young men and women were piled together. The person who caught the steamed bun stuffed it directly into his mouth, and before he could swallow it in his mouth, he jumped up and grabbed it.

There are also people who can't grab it, and they are angry at the person who grabbed the steamed bun and ate it again, so he immediately rushed over to hit and kick, and went to the other party's mouth to pick food.

And the person who was robbed did not let go of his mouth even when he died, and ate himself while being beaten, until blood spurted out of his mouth and nose, and he was still reluctant to vomit it.

As for the old people and children who couldn't grab food, they could only squat on the ground and rub them down, and when they saw a trace of the steamed bun dregs falling, they immediately threw them into their mouths and swallowed them.

The bearded man looked at this scene, but he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you want to rob, you want to take it." My subordinates, don't be old and weak, don't want women and children, big fists are the truth, so those who can survive are tough guys, and those who can kill people can not be killed, this is the way of the world. ”

It turned out that this bearded man deliberately sent his subordinates to divide the steamed buns unevenly, just to provoke these homeless people to kill each other in order to implement his so-called idea of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong.

Immediately, the steamed buns were thrown, and the displaced people looked at it again, and dozens of people had fallen on the loess, most of them were old and weak.

The bearded man straightened his waist and said: "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone today, take it tomorrow, if you want to eat, tomorrow you will go to attack the nearby county, and you will have food to eat if you have laid it." ”

Listening to the bearded man's words, all the homeless people were tight, as if they were frozen by the cold wind, and they retreated together.

"Don't have the guts!"

The bearded man scolded secretly, when these homeless people were fighting for food by themselves, they fought bravely to be the first, and when they were asked to fight the county seat, they were scared one by one.

These people are so unsuccessful, how can they use their grass to claim the king. At that moment, the bearded man couldn't help but say to himself, and said You said that Wang Bo, Gao Shida, Du Fuwei, and Zhai let those people gather more than 100,000 people at every turn.

To this day, even this district of 10,000 people can't be subdued, and it can't win people's hearts, so it's not even a word of mentions.

The bearded man turned his head and glanced at the people in the forest who were pressed into a pile of people, and when he had just come down to scatter steamed buns, none of these people came up, obviously there was a way out.

The bearded man immediately carried a roe deer, and immediately rode over with seven or eight retinues, and when he arrived at the pile of people, he threw the roe deer in his hand over, and said, "Hey, these brothers, it is not a respect. ”

The roe deer fell to the ground, but no one stepped forward to get it, and the bearded man saw it really for a while, and among the dozens of people sitting in the forest, they were all holding the same eyebrow stick, sitting cross-legged, and there were rules and regulations.

The bearded man felt a pang in his heart, and said in his heart that this group of people was not an ordinary outcast, not only a gang, but also a battle, could it be a deserter from Liaodong.

If you were someone else, you might just turn your horse and leave, but the bearded man is an ambitious figure, and he muttered a little, and the people in his heart are like flowers, and it is a pipe dream to expect them to fight against the official army and fight the county seat.

These people see it differently, they are all big men, they have rules, and they also have 100 'strong men' under their command, more than 20 people who can ride horses, and these people's strength can increase a lot, so there is more hope for defeating the county.

Just when the bearded man had not yet spoken, among these people, a tall man suddenly stood up, walked out of the forest and said, "This general borrowed a step to speak. ”

The bearded man looked at the other party, and saw that although this person was dressed as a martial artist, his temperament and demeanor were gentle, not like an ordinary military man, and this person was carrying a longbow behind his back.

Seeing this, the bearded man looked back at the bottom of his heart, and when he looked back, the entourage behind him was a lot more relieved when he saw that they were all left and right, and he arched his hand on horseback and said: "What does this good man have to say?" ”

The man walked up to the other horse's horse and said, "I heard that the general is going to attack the county seat, so I came here to persuade him." ”

The bearded man laughed and said: "What else do you say, don't worry, the county order is the most timid, but the people on weekdays, I believe that as long as I put up a banner, the people in the county will surrender by themselves." ”

Speaking of this, the bearded man said solemnly: "The county seat, I can also gather another twenty or thirty thousand, how much money, food, soldiers and horses are needed, I said little brother, see that you are also a brave person, it is better to cast it under my account, become a captain, how about having a thousand people to give you command at that time?" ”

Speaking of this, the bearded man swept his eyes and the dozens of people behind the other party.

The other party smiled and said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but when I crossed the Yellow River from Pujin, I heard a news that the imperial court wanted to appoint Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, as the ambassador of Hedong in Shanxi, and lead the army to suppress the Hedong area, and the county town was easy to capture, but if the army of Tang Guogong was provoked, the general would probably be in danger." ”

Speaking of this, the bearded man made a move and shouted: "What Tang Guogong, Zhou Guogong, and the court bird officials, they are not all all the way." Little brother, think about it for yourself and give me an answer tomorrow. ”

After that, this bearded man rode his horse away.

The young man stood for a while, and a bare-headed, honest-looking man behind him stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, such a thief who doesn't care about human life, my old man can't wait to hammer his head and lift his head, what do you advise him to be careful?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Senior brother, this bearded man is innocent, but this more than 10,000 people are innocent, you said that if Li Yuan broke this group of homeless people, how many people should accompany them to die, as well as the people in the county." ”

The bald man said: "Senior brother, you have too much to worry about, thieves and troubled times, these 10,000 people can't eat enough, if you don't die today, you will die tomorrow, what do you care?" It makes sense for us to get on the road early and rush to Taiyuan County. ”
