When Kong Jiashilang's arrow shot into the crowd of the Lu family, Uncle Lu only felt that everything was lost. The last backer he thought he could rely on also came to naught. At this time, Uncle Lu finally determined why he couldn't borrow food from the Kong family.

Previously, the Kong family suggested to Uncle Lu that all the people of the Lu family should join the signing army and serve the Mongols. Uncle Lu decisively refused at that time. If their own children become government soldiers, the Lu family can reduce many taxes. This time the grain was harvested in a famine year, and the grain produced by the Lu family was not much less than that of the Zheng family and the Kong family. And these two families have much more land than the Lu family.

Although he also thought about the reason later, Uncle Lu was unwilling to let himself believe that this was the reason why the two families were separated. This judgment was too cruel, and in the face of the tyranny of the Mongols, the two families each chose their own sides. When the Lu family decided to give up the Kong family, the Kong family had also decided to give up the Lu family.

Uncle Lu also did hindsight thinking, and he found that the best solution was to make up for it at all. But it was too late to regret it, and before returning to Hebei, Uncle Lu didn't expect that the brutality of the Mongols would be so bottomless.

With Kong Shiro taking the lead, the other cavalry also took their bows and arrows. When the Lu family saw this situation, they turned around and ran away in fright. The Mongolian steward coldly watched the scene he was looking forward to happen. The Lu family began to flee from the Mongol encirclement on three sides towards the only gap.

The most effective kills are carried out in pursuit, where the enemy's back is unobstructed and the pursuing cavalry can be condescending and easy. And as they run away, the strength of the escapees is more and more consumed, and some of the guys with weak willpower will even stop and wait for death because of exhaustion. If the dozens of people in front of them did not flee, but rushed over and launched a decisive attack on the cavalry, it would cause the cavalry to encounter the greatest trouble.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Mongolian steward felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and turned his head in anger to look, only to see that the head of the Zheng family, who was leaning over, was letting go of the dagger inserted into the left rib of the Mongolian steward. The dagger was extremely sharp, and the place in which it was inserted was so good that the sharp dagger had pierced the heart. The Mongolian steward let out a very low cry of pain and fell from his horse.

The head of the Zheng family made a neat move, and next to him were the Zheng family's government soldiers, and the Mongolian army and government soldiers who were attacking the Lu family didn't even notice that something had happened to the Mongolian steward. The advantage of having a calculating or unintentional is here, the Zheng family quickly took action, and when the Mongolian soldiers and government soldiers realized that something was wrong, more than two dozen people had already been killed. The remaining ten were bewildered and five more were wounded, three of the five who were able to move fled, and two resisted. This choice once again thinned their combat effectiveness. Whether they fled or resisted, they were all killed by the Zheng family who had the advantage of numbers after a while.

By the beginning of the battle, Uncle Lu did not flee, he chose to stay behind to protect those clansmen who could not run. So I saw all the changes with my own eyes. When the head of the Zheng family jumped off the horse and came over, Uncle Lu knew that it was the Zheng family who saved his Lu family, but he still held the short knife with a trembling hand and made a defensive posture.

The head of the Zheng family didn't get too close, he was outside the range of Uncle Lu's attack and said loudly: "There are no more Mongols going south from here. But you'll have to hurry up, I don't know if any other Mongols will come in the future. ”

After speaking, the head of the Zheng family didn't care about the Lu family's thoughts. He led people to gather the horses of the Mongol army, and stripped off the weapons, armor, and clothing of the Mongol army and put them on the horses. He threw the body in a pit by the side of the road and walked away.

Seeing that the Zheng family was finished, Uncle Lu, who couldn't figure it out, suddenly shuddered, and all kinds of thoughts were integrated. After experiencing so many things, Uncle Lu believed that the Zheng family's idea of rebelling against the Mongols must have been there for a long time, and it was not because the Lu family was in danger that he made a temporary decision. But they chose to act at this time to save the Lu family.

The great joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Uncle Lu kneel down in front of the Zheng family's back, and he shouted loudly: "Great kindness, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely repay it!" ”

At this time, the Zheng family had already gone away, and Uncle Lu's voice was not able to reach the ears of those people. However, Uncle Lu's mood at this time was extremely sincere. The Lu family next to them did not have such a strong sense of gratitude, and the fear of death they felt at this time immediately asked, "Big brother, what should we do?" ”

"Gather the people, let's go now!" Uncle Lu stood up and said decisively. At this point, there is no other option available than to move on.

An hour passed quickly, and after this panic, eight people in the Lu family ran away. Uncle Lu ordered: "I can't wait for them, let's leave now!" ”

"What are they going to do?" The relatives of the lost do not want to go.

"They'll have to ask for their own blessings." Uncle Lu replied decisively, "Let's wait, in case the Mongolians come, these are dozens of lives." They can run so far that they should be able to run away even if they encounter the Mongols. ”

Under such firm persuasion, except for a member of the Lu family who volunteered to stay and continue to look for those people, everyone else followed Uncle Lu to continue on his journey. That night, they finally arrived at Xiaoqing River. The next day, we continued to walk before dawn, and arrived at the Yellow River before noon.

When the soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Song Army were surrounded behind the soil slope, the Lu family was still frightened. Then they finally understood that they would soon be able to board the boat to the south of the Yellow River, and they were finally safe.

At this moment, the shouting and killing in the Confucian family compound had disappeared. The head of the Zheng family stood outside the Confucian family's compound and saw that there were no bystanders around at all. If it was before, with such a big movement, the people in the village would definitely flock out to see the excitement. At a time when lingering is already the highest expectation of these people, no one comes out to watch the excitement.

Entering through the large hole that had been blown up in the wall, the smoke and dust that had previously filled the old high had completely settled. It was from here that the Zheng family and the Red Turban Army attacked, and everyone wanted to launch a surprise attack, but the Kong family was heavily guarded, and they saw a large army approaching from a distance, so they locked the gate and prepared for battle.

Continuing inward, there are quite a few corpses in the base room. Most of these people were killed by knives and guns, and many of them had arrows stuck in their bodies. The Kong family resisted stubbornly, and in order to solve them, everyone also adopted wall-breaking tactics. The walls on the side or behind the Kong family, who were guarding the door, were suddenly blown open, and when the smoke billowed out, they completely lost their combat effectiveness, and then they were easily killed.

Further inside, there is a group of surrenderers of the Kong family. The Zheng family and the people of the Red Turban Army surrounded them, and the head of the Zheng family whispered a few words to his family, and someone went in and dragged out a woman and the child she was holding tightly. The woman was so frightened that she screamed and cried while clinging to her child. The other women who had gathered screamed as well.

"Who are they?" Liu Pet, who had already arrived here, couldn't help but ask.

"It was Director Lu's aunt who brought it out, as well as his cousin and cousin." The head of the Zheng family replied.

"Oh." Liu Pet responded simply, and he appreciated such a meticulous approach in his heart. If it were him, I was afraid that he would ignore such a thing.

At this moment, someone shouted in a trembling voice: "The surname is Zheng, you dog thief with wolf ambitions!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Pet turned his head and left. The head of the Zheng family had made a request before, which was to hand over the Kong family to him for disposal. What will be the result of this kind of personal grudge in the end, Liu Pet is not interested at all. After a few years as a soldier, Liu Pet found that he did not have a high level of tolerance for bloody scenes outside of battle.

Waiting for Liu Pet to go out, the head of the Zheng family took two steps forward, his eyes full of hatred fell on the person who spoke, and then said in a voice full of joy: "Second Kong, you finally have today." ”

In this era, 'old X' is very contemptible, and even in New China, it is very disrespectful to call anyone 'old man'. The one called Kong Lao Er had a stiff neck and asked sharply, "Why did you rebel against Mongolia?" Didn't those people in your family kill the Song people? ”

"My family died at the hands of the Song people because they went to the battlefield to kill the Song people. I can't say that my family deserved to die, but they all deserved it. There's nothing to hold a grudge about. If you hold a grudge, Song Guo can also hold a grudge against my family. The head of the Zheng family replied.

After receiving such a serious answer, Kong Lao Er was a little surprised, but continued to ask: "Then why did you rebel against Mongolia." ”

"Haha, you can't even figure this out." The head of the Zheng family said with a smile: "My family followed the Jin Kingdom to fight Mongolia back then, and many people died. We went to Mongolia. Now we are following the Mongols to fight the Song Kingdom, and many people have died, so we will defect to the Song Kingdom. Some people will say that we rebelled, but our family has already died because of our loyalty, and there is really no reason to bury the whole family for them. ”

"You!" Kong Lao Er wanted to scold angrily, but he was choked by these words. If he stands in the perspective of the superior, of course, he will hope that his subordinates will give him unlimited dedication until his subordinates and their entire families are gone. But from the point of view of his subordinates, this request simply does not make sense. There are limits to any loyalty.

However, the second eldest of the Kong family actually understands that the superficial reason for the Zheng family's main attack on the Kong family may be that the Kong family has completely followed Mongolia, but the more essential reason is that there is an irresolvable contradiction between the Zheng family and the Kong family. Kong Lao Er once led people to hack to death the father and two uncles of the current head of the Zheng family, and none of the three of them were spared, and the Zheng family came to take revenge.

"The surname Zheng, you can't die well!" Kong Lao Er suddenly pounced on the Zheng family opposite.

Half an hour later, the head of the Zheng family walked to the gate of the Kong family with some heavy steps, and Liu Chong was sitting here watching the scenery. Seeing the head of the Zheng family, Liu Chong took out a new-style cigarette and handed it to the head of the Zheng family, and then asked, "General Lin Dengwan, what are your plans next?" ”
