Chapter 140: Isolation Strong

"Protect Miss Tao!" Hearing that more than 10,000 people came outside the city, Liu Wei stood up and said to the soldiers who reported the news: "Let the four people come in from outside, and we must take good care of Miss Tao, and we must not let her have any more mistakes!" ”

"No!" The pro-soldier answered, and said to the group of pro-soldiers standing at the door: "Enter the house for four people, protect Miss Tao!" ”

The four soldiers guarding the door entered the room, stood in the four corners of the room, pressed their hands on the hilt of their long swords, and their eyes wandered back and forth between the window and the door of the room.

"You wait for me in the room, I'll go to the city to have a look, and I'll be back in a while!" The pro-soldiers stood up, Liu Wei smiled at Tao Huanniang, turned around and waved his hand to the pro-soldiers who reported the news.

Tao Huanniang, who was sitting on the bed, hurriedly stood up, bowed down and watched Liu Wei leave the room.

Out of the official mansion, Liu Wei led a team of personal soldiers to walk quickly towards the city gate.

Before he reached the gate of the city, he heard the clamor of many men, women, and children outside the city.

Amid the noise, there were the shouts of men calling for the door to be opened, the voices of women begging the gatekeepers to let them into the city, and even the cries of many children, so you don't need to look at it to guess how chaotic the scene is.

Walking quickly to the head of the city, Liu Wei held the battlements with his hands and looked towards the city, only to see that the city was dark and oppressive, full of people clamoring to enter the city.

The people under the city are more numerous than last time, one or two thousand.

"Your Highness, the brother who led the people here said that these people were the first batch rescued by the military division in Shaanxi County, and there should be more to come." Liu Wei held the battlements in his hand and was looking down at the city, when a city guard officer stood not far behind him, clasped his hands into fists and said to him: "It's just that so many people have entered the city, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"I'm afraid there's going to be a mess, right?" Turning his head to look at the officer, Liu Wei said to him: "You are right, there are too many people, and this king is also very worried!" ”

"Tell General Zhou that this time the people entered the city, gathered all the strong men in one place, and closely monitored their every move." Nodding approvingly to the officer, Liu Wei said to a personal soldier beside him: "In the future, whenever people enter the city, the strong men will be isolated first, and their families will recognize their relatives, and they will be reunited with their families until their identities are confirmed." ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, turned around and ran down the city wall, and went straight in the direction of the barracks.

"Let the people into the city!" The soldiers ran to find Zhou Cang, and Liu Wei raised his hand and shouted to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Just as the last time the people entered the city, a small half of the city gate was opened, a group of heavily armed city defenders ran out of the city, lined up in two teams, and blocked their way in front of more than 10,000 ragged people.

"Folks, if you want to enter the city, be quiet first!" An officer defending the city stood in front of the people, pressed the hilt of his long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Men and women, young and old, all in a row, accept inspection and enter the city!" ”

As soon as the officer's words were finished, the already chaotic people suddenly became even more agitated, and not many people consciously lined up to enter the city, but some people took advantage of the chaos to shout: "King Hongnong wants to keep us out of the city, folks, rush in!" ”

There was already some commotion, and some people took the opportunity to make a commotion, and the people outside the city panicked even more, and flocked to the city guards who were blocking the city gate like a tide.

"Close the gates!" The officer who led the team out of the city saw that the people were in chaos, and hurriedly shouted behind him.

As soon as the officer's shout fell, a group of soldiers guarding the inside of the city gate hurriedly closed the city gate tightly.

"King Hongnong won't let me wait to enter the city and hit the city gate!" A man in tattered clothes saw that the city gate was closed, and shouted again in the crowd.

"Kill all those who stir up the heckles!" Standing on the city wall, Liu Wei held the battlements with one hand, frowned, and shouted to a group of officers and soldiers outside the city: "Dong Zhuo's old thief is hiding spies among the people, and all the people who were coaxed just now will be executed on the spot!" ”

Seeing this, the men who shouted loudly among the people and instigated people to storm the city gate hurriedly shouted again: "King Hongnong is going to kill someone!" Folks, fight with them! ”

But this time, their shouting did not work, and all the people did not move, but everyone turned their heads to look at the men who shouted loudly.

Although the crowd is the easiest place to provoke a commotion, people are not all fools, Xu Shu rescued them and asked them to come to the king of Hongnong, not to ask them to attack Dayang City.

Fighting hard with well-equipped officers and soldiers, although there are a large number of people outside the city, if they really want to fight, I am afraid it will still be a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers outside the city followed the shouts and rushed to the front of the men who were making a fuss, and threw them to the ground one by one, and did not take them aside, and after they had overturned them, some soldiers with long swords in their hands stabbed them into the neck.

Blood was spraying, and more than 10,000 people were silent in front of the splattered blood, and no one dared to take the opportunity to coax.

"Folks!" Standing on the head of the city, Liu Wei held the battlements with both hands and shouted to the people outside the city: "The military advisor has saved you and wants you to come to this king, and this king is very pleased!" There is a lot of grain and grass in the city, but it can feed you for a few days, but there has been a group of thieves in the city to mix with the people, in the city to cause chaos, although the king has been cleared, but the thief army will not give up. You have all been bullied by the thief army, and you should cooperate with the defenders! ”

More than 10,000 people raised their heads one by one, looking at Liu Wei at the head of the city, and in the black crowd, there was not even a single child's cry.

"Everyone consciously lined up and was inspected and entered the city." Liu Wei pointed to the people outside the city and shouted to them: "Strong men, after entering the city, they will be escorted by the officials and soldiers to live in a special residence." Undergo a detailed check-in and be claimed by relatives who entered the city together to reunite with their loved ones! ”

As soon as Liu Wei shouted these words, the people outside the city suddenly rioted again, many women, children and the elderly all protected their men, and some young men who were not close to the scene opened their eyes one by one and looked at the city.

"Your Highness, we have no relatives, how to deal with it?" Finally, someone still couldn't hold his breath, and a man of about twenty-three or fourteen years old raised his head and shouted to Liu Wei, who was standing at the head of the city: "Are there no relatives who claim it, and they will be dragged to have their heads cut off?" ”

"You're thinking too much!" Looking at the man who shouted, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched, and he shouted loudly: "Whether it is a thief or a common man, this king has his own way to distinguish, but if Dong thief visits the horse, if he is seated after entering the city, he will be killed!" The people in the city will definitely take care of their lives! ”

As soon as he shouted, the questioning man licked his lips, shrunk his head, and said nothing.

At this time, Liu Wei at the head of the city whispered to the soldiers beside him: "Pay attention to that man, ordinary people will definitely not dare to come forward to question this king." ”

"No!" Several pro-soldiers responded, and all turned their eyes to the man who had just questioned Liu Wei.

The people gradually calmed down, and the gates slowly opened again. The officers and soldiers who stopped in front of the people were desperately blocking the path to the city, and at this time, a group of about five or six hundred officers and soldiers also ran out of the barracks in the city, lined up in two rows on the street near the city gate.

The people, whose mood had calmed down a little, were guided by the officers and soldiers, and they were searched in a row, and entered the city one after another.

Whenever a young man entered the city, the group of officers and soldiers who ran out of the barracks would stop them.

Many old people, women and children, when they saw the man in the family being stopped, were reluctant to hold the man's clothes, unwilling to be easily separated.

The scene of countless people reluctant did not impress Liu Wei in the city. After Tao Huanniang was kidnapped, he paid more attention to the people who were about to enter the city.

Although the Xiliang Army may also send a small number of old people or women to act as spies, it is still the sturdy young men who will really pose a threat to the city defense.

More than 10,000 people have entered the city, and nearly one-fifth of them are young men.

The officers and soldiers who came out of the barracks escorted nearly 4,000 young men into the city and sent them to an empty area in the city that had long been cleared out and was uninhabited.

"Folks!" Many people entered the city, and Liu Wei stood at the head of the city and shouted to the people: "Each of you will go to your residence under the guidance of the officials and soldiers, and tomorrow morning, each family will recognize their relatives and lead the men of the family back." If it's not the male in your family, you are not allowed to claim it, otherwise the whole family will be killed, understand? ”

The people who entered the city looked at Liu Wei who was standing on the head of the city with frightened faces, and their previous thoughts of looking forward to entering the city to find a way to survive also became shaken at this moment.

The King Hongnong they saw was not a generous king as Xu Shu told them, but more like a bloodthirsty killing maniac.

However, the city had already entered, and although the people were very panicked in their hearts, they did not dare to leave Dayang again, and under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, they went to the accommodation arranged for them.

More than 100 of the young men who were under close surveillance were on their way to their residences, observing their surroundings.

The people who entered the city lined up in a long line, and under the guidance of the officers and soldiers, they went to the shelter prepared for them, looking at their backs, Liu Bian's heart flashed a trace of unbearability.

After all, most of the people who came to Dayang City to take refuge in him had been bullied by the Xiliang Army, and they had no way out, so they crossed the Yellow River and came here, separating their flesh and blood alive, although it was only one night, but it was not Liu Wei's intention.

But Liu Wei didn't have a choice, in the complicated environment, a small omission may cause an irreparable disaster.
