The warm sun shines on the grain field at the entrance of the village.

There was not even a single grain on the empty grain field, and Liu Wei sat on a huge stone in the grain field, surrounded by a group of guards who had followed him to the village.

Lu Bu pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing straight behind Liu Wei, and without blinking his eyes, he wandered over the villagers who were sitting in a group not far away.

The whole village sat around Liu Bian, and all eyes were staring at Liu Bian.

"Folks!" Looking around at the villagers, Liu Wei asked them with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Now that you have land, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

"Build a house and marry a daughter-in-law!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, a young man shouted.

"Good! Aspiring! As soon as the young man's shout fell, Liu Wei gave him a thumbs up and said: "To be a man, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important!" Especially men! What do you mean by a good day? Can any of you say what a good day is for a man? ”

When Liu Wei asked this, all the men and women in the village, old and young, were stunned, looking at each other one by one, but no one could answer his question.

"This king tells you, what is called a good day for men!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei said to the men in the village: "If there is a boil in the pot and a pestle underneath, then it will be a good day for men!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the village gates were stunned at first, and then all the men laughed.

The men let out a burst of unbridled laughter, while the women blushed and glared fiercely at the man beside them.

Those children who don't understand people are all looking at the adults with big blank eyes.

Liu Bian's words were very rude, and he didn't look like a Han clan at all.

But the more rude the words, the more they can cater to the psychology of the villagers, just this sentence eased the originally slightly embarrassing atmosphere a lot.

"King!" The villagers laughed, and a man stood up and said to Liu Wei: "I didn't know that Qin Jun was a benevolent and righteous teacher earlier, and after listening to rumors, I almost became an enemy of the king, so I really deserve to die!" ”

"No defense! Unguarded! Smiled and waved his hand at the man who stood up, and Liu Wei said to him: "As long as you know that the Qin army will come to Huainan and will definitely not harass the people!" Presumably, there is not much food in the village, so don't be deceived by Yuan Shu again, leave the food, and support your family! ”

"Thank you, King!" Liu Wei's words were pertinent and full of concern, and all the villagers stood up and thanked him.

"It's time for this king to go!" Jumping off the stone, Liu Wei patted the dust on his buttocks, and said to the villagers: "This is not the village that has a misunderstanding of the army......

"King!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, an old man immediately stood up and said to him: "I and the small people in the nearby villages are familiar with each other, and the king is afraid that there will be some misunderstandings when he goes, so it is better to pick some strong people from the village and accompany the king to go, and it is easy to talk!" ”

"That's great!" The old man's words were right in the middle of Liu Bian's heart, and as soon as he said his words, Liu Bian hurriedly responded.

"You guys, go with the king!" The old man obviously had a certain status in the village, and after Liu Wei agreed, he turned his head and shouted to the group of villagers behind him.

Six or seven men stood up in response.

As soon as those men stood up, Liu Wei clasped his fists and arched at them and said, "There are Lao folks!" ”

Although the villagers didn't know much etiquette, they still knew that Liu Bian's status was noble, and when they saw Liu Bian clasping his fists at them, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "I don't dare to accept the king's courtesy!" ”

"That's it! That's it! Seeing the villagers kneeling, Liu Bianxu raised his hand and said to them: "Get up!" ”

Liu Wei asked them to get up, and the villagers stood up one after another.

In the villages around Shouchun, Liu Wei was leading Lu Bu and others around, and Deng Zhan was standing above a deep ravine under the slopes of Rushan Mountain.

The earth under the ravine was already black, and there was a lot of unburned firewood billowing green smoke.

Green smoke emerged from the bottom of the gully and hovered above it.

Looking down at the bottom of the ditch, Deng Zhan waved his hand and shouted to the dragoon guard behind him: "Go down and have a look!" ”

A group of more than 100 dragoons received the order and immediately ran down the gentle slope towards the bottom of the ditch.

At the bottom of the ditch, a wave of heat rushed towards the face and body of the dragoons.

The dragoon guards stumbled backwards one by one, and when they had become a little more accustomed to it, the officer leading the group waved his hand behind him and walked towards the charred place.

The further they walked towards the charred place, the more unbearable the heat was, and many Dragoon Guards felt their throats dry, and some even stuck out their tongues and licked their lips.

If it's just a heat wave, it's still bearable.

What made these dragoons unbearable most was the unpleasant stench in the heatwave.

It was the stench of a human corpse after it had been burned by the flames.

The stench rushed over them, and one by one, the dragoon guards pinched their noses and stepped onto the charred land.

Some of the burned wood was still smoking, and there were even some woods faintly showing sparks.

"It's burned so thoroughly!" Walking at the bottom of the charred valley, the dragoon guard officer who led the team pinched his nose with one hand and muttered: "I'm afraid there is not even a single one alive!" ”

"Burned like this, how can there still be alive!" As soon as the officer's words fell, another officer with a slightly lower position than him took over and said, "I'd better find the secret exit earlier, so it matters!" ”

The officer leading the team nodded, and as he stepped over the scorched wood lying on the ground, he turned his head and looked around and walked forward.

Underneath many burned woods, there were charred corpses of the Huainan Army.

The corpses had already been burned and dehumanized, and many of them were burned into small clumps of charred corpses.

The water in the bodies was burned dry, and the charred corpses were much smaller than when they were alive, and many of the corpses still had foul green smoke on them.

"It smells terrible!" Pinching his nose and breathing through his mouth, one of the dragoon guards still felt a little unbearable and muttered.

None of the other dragoons beside him spoke, but the expressions on their faces showed that they all felt the same way.

Due to the fire, the ravine was already in shambles, and the entrance to the cave had already been blocked by some charred wood.

"The entrance to the cave is here!" As he walked forward and searched, one of the dragoons suddenly shouted.

Hearing his shout, the officers and other dragoons all ran over.

What appeared in front of them was a blackened piece of wood, revealing a dark cave.

The edge of the cave is neatly built, and you can see at a glance that it was dug by hand.

"Get the wood out of the way!" Seeing the cave, the officer hurriedly gave an order to the dragoon guards gathered around him.

Twenty or thirty dragoons hurriedly stepped forward, but instead of immediately moving the still hot wood, they drew their long swords one after another, pressed them against the wood, and pushed the wood aside.

The scorched wood was pushed open, and the hole gradually appeared in front of the eyes of the dragoons.

The leading officer reached out and touched the edge of the hole, and said to the junior officer on the side: "It has been burned into clay, this fire ......"

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Looking at the dark opening, the junior officer whispered a reminder.

"Hmm!" The lead officer nodded and waved behind him.

Immediately, five or six dragoons entered the cave, and before entering the cave, the five dragoon guards had not forgotten to pick up the slightly thin dead branches from the ground that had not yet been burned.

The dead branches have been burned to charcoal, but if they were to be lit, they would still be able to ignite and enter the dark cavern, perhaps using them as torches.

The five or six dragoons who went first walked in front, and the lead officer followed behind them with most of them.

It was very dark in the cave, and after walking for more than ten steps, everyone was already dark in front of them, and they couldn't see anything.

"Light the torch!" It was already dark in front of him, and he couldn't see his fingers, and the leading officer stopped and gave an order to the nameless dragoon who was walking in front.

The five dragoons with the scorched wood in their hands stopped, took out the fire fold from their bosoms, lit the fire, and put the scorched wood on the flame, and after a long while, it was considered to ignite the scorched wood.

The flame of burnt wood is a little different from that of firewood.

When the firewood burns, the flame is red, which is very suitable for lighting, but the flame when the burnt wood is blue, and the light is very weak.

By the light of the fire, I still can't really see the scene in the cave.

Just as the leading officer was about to let the group continue to march, a dragoon guard who had just run down from the top of the ditch arrived at the entrance of the cave and shouted to a group of dragoons inside the cave: "The general has an order, I want you to return immediately!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the dragoon guards, the leading officer glanced at the entrance of the cave, and then waved his hand unwillingly and said, "Go back!" ”

A group of dragoons, who were about to go deeper into the cave, heard the shouts of the officers, turned their heads and walked out of the cave.

Standing at the top of the deep ditch, Deng Zhan looked down at the bottom of the ditch that had been burned black.

He saw with his own eyes more than 100 dragoon guards at the bottom of the ditch burrowing into the cave, thinking that the cave was leading to Shouchun, he hurriedly ordered a dragoon guard to run into the bottom of the ditch and summon those dragoon guards who entered the cave.

After a while, the group of dragoon guards who had just entered the cave turned back, and just before Deng Zhan approached, before the leading officer could report the situation to Deng Zhan, Deng Zhan asked him: "What's next?" ”

"General Huiyu, there is no one alive!" Asked by Deng Zhan, the dragoon guard officer hurriedly replied: "The secret passage dug by the Huainan Army has been discovered by us, but the secret passage is very dark, and we haven't gone too far, so we don't know what lies ahead!" ”
