Chapter 78, War Again Breaks Out

"It's water, it's water!"

In the middle of the night, the screams are particularly terrible, there is no way, at this time when the flood and drought are particularly serious, the problem of water is very serious, if it is the grain that is burned, it is even more serious, and the food is fatal.

This cry is even more terrible, it must be burned grain.

At first, Zu Zhao thought that the burned grain was just the grain of an ordinary landlord's family, so he didn't care, he must have been blocked in the government by Wan Side, so he simply ignored the outside affairs, and specialized in how to make more powerful explosives.

But I didn't expect that the place where the fire started was the granary of the government!

Wang Xian stumbled and ran to ask for help, and in the entire Lu County, there were only twenty carts of grain and grass escorted back by Zu Zhao totaling 20,000 catties of grain and grass, 10,000 catties were hidden in the granary of the county government, and the other 10,000 catties were detained by Zu Zhao, because Zu Zhao really couldn't trust Wan Side's person, so he simply kept a hand for himself, and something really happened.

The grain and grass that Wansted's men were guarding was burned.

"It was the Yellow Turban Thieves who infiltrated Lu County, and after they burned the grain and grass, they scattered everywhere, and now they haven't caught a single figure!"

Zu Zhao rode out with a ghost horse, Wan Side's men wanted to stop him, Hou Yong went down with a sword, and a good head had already flew.

The rest of the soldiers no longer dared to squeak, and obediently let Zu Zhao and the others leave.

When I arrived at the granary, I found that the flames were very large, and the smoke was billowing out, but the smell was that of wormwood burning.

"Slam the door open, let's go in and see!" Zu Zhao roared.

Bang! The huge grain and grass door was completely opened, and there was a fire inside, and the fire was very large, and the whole fire had already burned the house.

Looking at the flames of the fire, Zu Zhao couldn't help frowning.

"It's not food that's burning, it's grass! It is impossible for grain to have such a large flame seedling! In addition, the grain burns with the burnt taste of rice, which has a unique taste of grain, but there is no such thing here! Someone dropped the grain and burned the granary! “

Zu Zhao spoke coldly, then withdrew, and found the white rice grains on the small street outside the granary, one grain is exceptionally crystalline, in this era of famine, even if a grain of rice falls on the ground, it will be picked up, and no one picks up these rice grains, the biggest reason is that they are in too much hurry, so they are not picked up! Or rather, they don't dare to come back and pick it up at all.

"It's been dropped!" Wang Xian also saw the fame on the side.

Grain! Grain!

Wang Xian's eyes turned red all of a sudden, nearly 10,000 people in the entire Lu County were pointing to nearly 10,000 catties of grain to survive, and someone dared to transport the grain away in the middle of the night, faking a fire, it was really bold and lost his conscience!

Where is he and her and the people of the army?

"A city-wide raid!"

Zu Zhao spoke coldly,

Take people to look in the direction of rice grains.

"Two, I'm late, I hope you don't forgive me!" Wan Side staggered over, still drunk, with an expression of not caring about anything on his face, and he didn't frown when the military rations in front of him were burned, obviously because he had already been in love.

"Just right, Wan Side, come and see where these rice grains have gone, as long as you follow the rice grains, you can find the rice thief! My ancestor Zhao put his words here, this thief who steals rice is going to starve the whole army to death. My ancestor Zhao caught him, it was ten thousand arrows piercing his body, and he would definitely not let him have a good time! ”

Zu Zhao was full of murderous intentions, and at this time he really had the heart to slash this Wan Side to death.

The food and grass for the lives of the soldiers, this guy dares to touch it, and he really relies on the fact that there are people above who do all kinds of evil.

"Let me do this matter, tracking down the grain and grass should be a trivial matter, and there is no problem in handing it over to me!"

Wan Side looked at the rice grains on the ground, and hated those subordinates with unclean hands and feet, and wanted to stop this matter.

Zu Zhao had already seen through this guy with the face and palm of his hands.

"General Wan Side doesn't have to be polite, Zu Zhao is idle in the army these days, you really don't need to investigate such a thing, my Zu Zhao will naturally investigate to the end!"

"Yes, it's better for General Zu Zhao to track down such a thing, General Wan is already drunk, right? The matter of grain and grass is very serious, we should check it together, so that plus the old man, the old man has also been brought by the people of the prefecture and county at the moment, and he will definitely find out the missing grain and grass, and he will definitely not let the grain and grass disappear under our noses! ”

Wang Xian also does not give up, that is grain and grass, that is life.

How can you be careless, this Wan Side has already cheated him once, and can he continue to cheat?

"A strong crossbow? Let me keep an eye on him with a strong crossbow, and don't let him move!" Zu Zhao looked at Wan Side's eyes and knew that this guy must have to find a way, so he forced this guy to jump over the wall in a hurry, so he simply caught him directly.

Wan Side's personal soldiers came soon, but seeing that Zu Zhao controlled Wan Side, he didn't dare to say anything, everyone looked in the direction of the rice grain, and the personal soldiers with Wan Side reacted relatively quickly, and wanted to leave and send someone to eliminate the traces of those rice grains, but unfortunately Zu Zhao had already been on guard, and he didn't think about leaving.

In the end, the grain and grass were found, that is, in an inn near the city gate, the people of the inn had already escaped, and now it was empty, but there was a batch of grain and grass hidden.

And at this time, a group of people came and approached secretly.

Zu Zhao blew out the torch very appropriately, and asked people to cover their mouths with the people of Wansted.

This group of people was very cautious, making sure that there were no people around to transport the grain and grass, and they were about to push the grain and grass outside the city gate, but they didn't expect Zu Zhao to walk out with Wang Xian.

All were captured alive.

Lighting the torches and seeing the outfits of these people, Zu Zhao was surprised.

It turned out to be a yellow turban thief!

At this moment, the yellow turban thief put a large amount of silver in the inn, and the silver was put down but the grain and grass were taken away.

Everything was very thorough, not even a single guard at the city gates.

"Take it down, cut them all! None of them are left, the grain is transported to my account, from today I am in charge of the grain and grass, who wants to pay attention to the grain and grass again, hehe, but I want to try my eight hundred ghost rides! My crossbow drinks human blood! ”

Zu Zhao had no interest in interrogating these Yellow Turban thieves at all, since he didn't directly catch Wan Side's people and fornicate with the Yellow Turban Thieves, he directly killed these people, if he continued to entangle around the grain and grass, it would have an impact on future battles. Either cut the grass and eradicate it, or don't do it at all.

Letting Wan Side and his guards go, Wan Side had a wonderful expression on his face, he never thought that Zu Zhao would directly attack him, kidnap him and not kill him.

"This Zu Zhao must know that there is someone above me! Hmph, a foreign general is a lucky person, once Lao Tzu returns to Jizhou, he will make you look good! ”

"Eldest Prince, why don't you take those people, and then detain them, and ask why?" Zu Ping was very puzzled next to him, he held the handle in his hand, how could he give up so easily? You must know that this Wan Side is constrained everywhere, which has made Zu Zhao passive many times, especially this time he actually traded with the Yellow Turban Thief, trading with the most valuable grain and grass in the city.

In the army, this is the crime of killing the head.

"Wan Side is the general of Jizhou, naturally someone will punish the crime, the most important thing is that we first came to Jizhou and made a big move, we came to Jizhou to fight, and these people intrigue outweigh the losses, and this Wan Side dares to sell grain and grass in the army, this courage is not small! Now that the majesty of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family is still there, we who are volunteers can't just touch these people, and directly destroy the human and physical evidence, in order to leave a line for being a person, and I want to see it in the future! I didn't buy the face of a Wansted, I bought the face of the backer behind Wansted, not to mention a Wansted, even if it was ten Wansted, I would kill it. Think twice about everything, you still have a long way to go in the future, don't be so brainless! ”

Zu Zhao spoke lightly.

Zhang Xian, the county ruler, also rushed here, and for Zu Zhao to directly eliminate the certified physical evidence, a little no, slow, he is a stubborn and righteous lord, and he has the heart to support Zu Zhao, but he didn't expect Zu Zhao to admit it like this.

It was like a punch on cotton, making him feel like he was sitting on wax for nothing.

"This is a step back and a wide sky, but if it goes on like this, you are afraid that you will be pressed by this Wan Side everywhere in Jizhou, and the brave general will not be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but he will be stabbed in the back with deliberate precautions, such a thing, how can Zu Zhao do this?"

The sighs in Zhang Xian's mouth seemed to be extraordinarily large.

"A Wan Side can't have such a big courage, Wan Side is just a chess piece, I don't kill Wan Side because I and Zhang Xian can get more benefits, Wan Side is a fool, he sees what wine and what, we are different, we see two things, to compare, always pick up the big one, Wan Side and the characters behind him, there is no doubt that he is a small existence, what we have to do is to step on him to get greater benefits!" Zu Zhao talked eloquently.

Zhang Xian, the county governor, nodded, it is also the way to be an official in the long run, but Zu Zhao has such a far-reaching plan at such a young age, and it is inevitable that he will lose the sharpness of a teenager.

took people back to the county side courtyard, and found that Wan Side's men and horses were still stationed a hundred meters away from the side courtyard, Zu Zhao smiled coldly: "Tell them, roll from now on, how far and how far to roll, if you don't know how to lift, let Wan Side think about how to wipe his ass......"

Zu Ping stepped forward and slapped the general stationed here in the face: "My eldest son said, let you roll as far as you want, if Wan Side doesn't know how to lift, let him think about it himself!" ”

The general also seemed to know about Wansid's, hesitated, and withdrew directly with his men and horses.

Zu Zhao sneered, this is the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is extremely corrupt, and its execution is greatly reduced, no wonder the Three Kingdoms are together.

Rumble! Rumble!

A burst of crashing sounds came from the city gate, making Lu Jun, who had been quiet for many days, suddenly become a lot more noisy.

Zhang Xian's face was like earth, and Zu Zhao rushed over: "The yellow turban thieves outside the city are crazy to attack the city, they are wearing leather armor and big shields, protecting those guys who carry logs, they seem to be crazy, crazy siege!" ”

Zu Zhao nodded, people can not be crazy, originally wanted to buy food, so that they would not go hungry, but now this food has been cut off by him, if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be starved to death, so he simply desperately attacked the city Anyway, it will be a death, if it is into the city, maybe it will not die, then it will be earned.

The Yellow Turban Army, in the final analysis, is still a mud leg to eat a mouthful of rice, and can tie his head to his belt for a mouthful of food, and can do anything.

Zu Zhao rushed to the city wall with eight hundred ghost horses, Wan Side's whole face was like a bitter gourd face, and now the Yellow Turban Thief outside the city saw him as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father's mother, and he beckoned to him desperately, and there were fifteen personal soldiers around him who died under the dark arrow, and the Yellow Turban Thief on the opposite side now estimated that he was happy to kill him.

There is a ladder set up by the Yellow Turban Thieves on the city wall, and these Yellow Turban Thieves who climbed up to the city gate did not hide in the face of the big knife and axe that cut them, but took their big knives and slashed at the opposite side, one life for another, which can be said to have aroused blood, and Wan Side had lost his sharpness at the beginning of the battle, and his soldiers were not as crazy as the Yellow Turban Thief.

Zu Zhao looked at the yellow turban thieves opposite, and deeply understood why these yellow turban thieves were so desperate, because behind these yellow turban thieves were families, with wives and children, and even eighty old mothers, all waiting to eat food, and without food, a family could starve to death, so they all held that they could die, but they also had to get a life-saving ration for their families.

This is a simple concept, but it is also a terrible concept, and the Yellow Turban Thief is crazy at this moment. The whole war scene has gradually gotten out of control, the five thousand Yellow Turban thieves outside the entire city gate are red-eyed, the front is dead and the back rushes up, the corpses are stacked together as stepping stones, and the reason for the madness is that they have no food.

The whole battlefield scene is one knife and one knife, blood is flying in the air, and countless people rush up and fall.

"Superintendent, please find a way, if this continues, the entire Lu County will inevitably be attacked!" Zhang Xian looked at the yellow turban thieves below, with great fear in his heart, those yellow turban thieves didn't even hide from the oncoming arrows, they rushed up like a few arrows on their bodies to give the officers and soldiers defending the city a knife, and they didn't hide from the oncoming knives, but hugged each other and fell from the city wall.

At this time, Wan Side also walked in front of Zu Zhao's eyes, and said in the future: "Please help the postal superintendent, the credit of the superintendent post, dare not be greedy for ink!" ”

Zu Zhao sneered, this is also a begging word?

"You beg me, and I'll go!" Zu Zhao smiled playfully, the small one was very bad.

"Mark Wan Side to ask the post supervisor to fight, please fight, I'm almost unable to stand it!" Wan Si expected Ai Ai to speak, he was someone above, but the yellow turban thief below was no matter what kind of person he had, once he broke through the city, it would be light to take him with a thousand knives.

Zu Zhao looked at the yellow turban thief below and smiled coldly.

Now that you have face, it's time to appear.

Zhang Xian and Wan Side looked expectant, the person who can turn the tide at this time is Zu Zhao, this lord with the support of an immortal master, especially the kind of great killing weapon of heaven, will inevitably kill the demons below.

In front of the mad Yellow Turban thief, it is the legendary dry land thunder that has such an effect.

That heavenly punishment!

"Get rid of all your people, and I won't let those people of yours get in the way!" Zu Zhao spoke coldly to Wan Side, such a thing as gunpowder is still left to someone he can trust.

Wan Side nodded respectfully, afraid that if he didn't agree at this moment, Zu Zhao would invite the heavenly punishment, and the kind of dry land thunder would explode on his head.

Zu Zhao took eight hundred ghost riders to the gate of the city, and there was a bag of explosives hanging on the crossbow, and the lead was long, and it was full of leads made of explosives.

Wan Side's people had already withdrawn, and they were all standing on the city wall to block the crazy Yellow Turban Thief, and everyone had great confidence on their faces, as if in an instant, the Yellow Turban Thief on the opposite side seemed to be less terrifying.

"Because these rebels will be killed by heaven in the next moment!" Wan Side thought viciously, but suddenly felt so terrible, he had been against Zu Zhao before, wouldn't this be a very miserable death in the future? There are people up there who can't stop the heavenly punishment, right? His face turned pale for a moment, and this kind of thing was the most effective way to scare himself.

The city gate was opened with a creak, and the yellow turban thief who had been carrying the log to hit was stunned for a moment, how could he open it by himself?

In front of them, however, was a huge crossbow five meters long, three meters long, with arrows made of spears on it, and there seemed to be something burning on it, hissing and smoking.

"Kill!"

After the yellow turban thief reacted, what he thought in his mind was that he could enter the city for a meal, as long as he survived the catastrophe in front of him, there would be no terrible things to happen in the future, and the happy days of the old child's hot kang head were in front of him.

"Put!"

Six spears with explosives bags were fired.

The spear passed through the bodies of the three Yellow Turban thieves, and after taking the three of them back more than a dozen steps one after another, it exploded directly, and the Yellow Turban Thieves with a radius of ten meters were completely blown away.

The phantom cavalry fired powerful crossbows in an orderly manner, and everywhere they went, they exploded and cleared the field. Bursts of bright light and explosions sent clusters of Yellow Turban thieves into the sky, then they were torn apart, and then turned into a rain of blood or pieces of flesh, which was extremely bloody.

The Yellow Turban Thieves are crazy and bloody, and ordinary armies are easy to defeat when they encounter them, but that is also called war, and what is in front of them is not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

Zu Zhao's phantom rider had already moved the crossbow cart forward, walked out of the city gate to the clearing, and fired explosives.

More than a dozen kilograms of explosives were dropped, deep holes were blown out, and there were also the corpses of yellow turban thieves.

"Yellow Turban Thief, do you see it? This is heavenly punishment! It's a drought and thunder from the sky, and outcasts like you have angered God, let God punish you with this peerless murder! ”

Wan Side shouted loudly on the city wall, especially the words drought and thunder from the sky made him excited, miracles, miracles, he thought wildly in his heart.

The Yellow Turban Thieves are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of this unknown way of death, especially the drought and thunder, and being punished by God makes them feel their hearts and livers tremble.

The army was defeated. Some of the Yellow Turban thieves had already fled in all directions, and some of the Yellow Turban thieves even prayed to the heavens, hoping that the Taiping Heavenly Master would be able to descend to the mortal dust and fight against these drought thunders in front of them, because these drought thunders had already made them feel afraid.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, what is so terrible about drought and thunder?

The leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves has already put on the posture of a dancing god, and someone has carried an altar up, which is the only magic weapon to stabilize the hearts of the army, and it is the needle of the sea god.

Zu Zhao suddenly stopped, and a bad taste rose in his heart.

"Stop, let them jump a few times first, and then let them know if our drought and thunder are powerful, or their Taiping Heavenly Master is powerful?"

Stepping on the seven stars and holding a peachwood sword in his hand, a black-faced Taoist priest recited words in the innermost, took out a rune, and blew it at the sky, and the rune immediately burned on its own, which immediately brightened the eyes of all the yellow turban thieves.

Zu Zhao smiled coldly and ordered: "Later, when he raises the peachwood sword to the sky, you shoot the explosives package and send their heavenly master to the sky first!" ”

Zu Ping had a wicked smile on his face, one person and one explosive bag, hanging on the strong crossbow, since the other party also said that he was a heavenly master, in the name of God, then let's divide it here.

"Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, please Taiping Heavenly Master to go down to earth, kill demons and evils, protect my Rhubarb Heavenly People, invincible all the way!"

The god stick who played the Taiping Heavenly Master finally reached the climax moment, pretending to be forced to raise his peach wood sword, and countless yellow turban thieves looked at him with admiration, and the flickering spirit of the god stick was exerted to the extreme.

Whoosh, several large bags of explosives, shot at his feet.

"Huh? Taishang Laojun ...... "He yelled, at this time, the self-hypnosis attempt really let Taishang save him."

Bang!

The entire thirty meters of the altar turned into a rain of blood.
