Chapter 222: Looting Grain

Previous Chapter

Shiwei September, this is the beginning of the golden autumn, but it is also the last day of the month.

The flames of war that affected the current situation of the entire Tianshu Continent have quietly burned into monstrous flames, involving the fate of many passers-by and how many Li people.

People from all walks of life moved together, a large number of talents appeared on the battlefield, and this war provided them with a stage for performance; At the same time, with the birth of the new generation of strong people, there are also countless famous places that have passed away.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

The dream of becoming famous in World War I makes many self-confident soldiers go forward and devote themselves to the bitter war, and they are never tired of it.

This is a paradise for warriors, but it is a hell for ordinary people, not to mention the reduction of land production, but the tax is increasing, and there are many laborers, and they are accidentally arrested and strong. There are even more mountain bandits rampant, but what makes the people afraid is not the people, but the soldiers, forcibly levied and robbed, but if there is resistance, the head will fall to the ground.

Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.

When the final bottom line of survival is also broken, the people can only flee, which has nothing to do with the national righteousness, and has nothing to do with the honor and disgrace of the family and country. Home country country, home first, then country, not to mention when even their own survival is in question, everything changes.

"I can't live this day! God can't be long-sighted, how can these soldiers and bandits who kill a thousand knives be in charge! ”

"I heard that the taxes over there are very low, and there are no various military services and labor services."

"Hold on, and soon you will be in the territory of the Dragon Palace. I heard that the emperor there did not want us to pay taxes, but gave us land to plant and food to eat. ”

……

A large number of refugees fled, and some even traveled thousands of miles just to go to the Dragon Palace, but their purpose was very simple, to live and live. That's the only thing they're thinking at the moment.

But when they finally reached the territory of the Dragon Emperor after a lot of hardships, they encountered soldiers and bandits who made them desperate.

The one-eyed general had been suffering from a headache lately, and he was even a little resentful, and he slammed the table in anger, and the sturdy table fell apart in an instant, and the objects on the table were scattered all over the ground.

"General." The guards outside the tent came in and helped clean up with a wry smile.

This guard is the nephew of the one-eyed general, out of protection, he takes it with him, and when there is no one on the left and right, the one-eyed general directly calls him by his nickname, and the guard also calls him uncle.

But when performing tasks in the army, the one-eyed general is much more serious, so the personal guard who knows his uncle's thoughts is called him a general.

The one-eyed general waved his hand and said, "I know, I won't be next time." "This is already the third table he has hammered, and it has only been less than two days since he came here to carry out a mission, but three tables have been broken, already.

When the guards were tidying up, they also called their subordinates and ordered them to change the table. If it weren't for the conditions, the guards would want to change the keel table for the one-eyed general, so that if the one-eyed general hammered again, the hammer would not be broken.

What makes the one-eyed general so distressed is the problem of the homeless. His straightforward personality will not please people, so although he has a heavenly level cultivation, he is still just a small general.

No, everyone else is leading troops to harvest martial arts on the front line, while they themselves are sent to escort grain and grass. That's it, it's still the red swordsman next to Dai Shuai, to protect himself, so he got this errand. Although it seems to be fat in the eyes of others, the one-eyed general does not think so.

It is too condescending to not make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, to seek meritorious service for oneself, to shed blood for one's family and country, and to escort any Rausch grain and grass in the rear, which is the idea of a one-eyed general.

If things go well, it's fine, but it's not an easy task to escort the grain and grass. And the biggest enemy is the crowd of refugees outside.

There are thousands of people myself, and the refugees are densely packed and can't be killed at all. After ordering the massacre for a day, the one-eyed general killed an unknown number of people, but countless red-eyed homeless people rushed up to their deaths.

There is no other reason, after a lot of hardships to come to the Dragon Palace, most of the refugees have already had little rations left, or even no way to maintain them at all. So, this happened.

The one-eyed general really wanted to kill all these blind guys, with the strength of his heaven-level powerhouse, he couldn't look down on these ordinary people at all, but it was these people who made him feel fear for the first time.

That day was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, from dawn to sunset, and the people he killed were unknown, but he could still hear such a sound echoing in his ears.

"Big guy rush, victory is just around the corner, and the general has no strength. With this wave of food, everyone will have something to eat! ”

"Chong, don't be afraid, it's all a dead word anyway, it's better to die of starvation than to die for relatives and friends, if you grab food, you don't have to die!"

"Kill the general, kill him!"

Countless voices echoed in his head, causing the one-eyed general to re-settle his mood again.

"Report! Ten miles to the rear, a large number of refugees were found. ”

One-Eyed kicked the scout who fell to the ground: "What's the use of you, I'll report it when I'm close." ”

The guards hurriedly persuaded: "The general dissipates his anger, don't be angry, the swordsman will let you recuperate in the rear, and then there will be a chance for you to perform." ”

After taking the water handed over by the guard, One-Eyed took a few sips of Gollum and drank it clean, if it weren't for the swordsman's guarantee, how could he be willing to come to this rear?

"Assemble your team and follow me!" Raising his broadsword, the one-eyed general commanded.

The herald was kicked to the ground, scrambled to his feet, and took the order.

After a while, the one-eyed general who gathered 500 soldiers came to the place where the rumors were located.

Seeing the dense crowd of people here, the one-eyed general took a bite with disdain, but when he saw the fine gap on the knife edge, he was still a little frightened in his heart.

"Kill!"

Without any other words, the one-eyed general gave the order, since he didn't listen to the advice, then kill him cleanly!

It was not the same as in the past, the black-pressed refugee did not roar angrily and rushed up with red eyes, but knelt down on the spot, and the black pressure was full of heads, and the action made people who saw this scene for the first time a little shocked.

The one-eyed general froze, but did not slow down his horse, leading the army to charge. Only killing can make him have a little pleasure in this boring interval.

The knife cut off the first human head, and the deafening sound came, making people a little trance.

"Please let the general release food relief!"

One person's voice may not have any deterrent effect, but hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, ten thousand people, 100,000 people, then, people definitely can't afford to despise it.

"Damn!" The one-eyed general roared, he did not see the horror of the dead man, he was greeted only by numb eyes and weak faces, the same as the first person who was killed. They didn't run away, they didn't resist, they just kept shouting, asking the general to release food for relief.

But who will the one-eyed bias be? He is an ambitious figure who aims for a general like Zhanfeng, and as the saying goes, mercy does not command soldiers, and he deeply understands that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to his own people.

The one-eyed general did not hesitate, his hand rose and fell, and many people's heads fell to the ground in just one look.

But the guards who followed closely did not have the heart of a one-eyed general.

Looking at these people, the guards were full of emotion, and the knife in their hands was a little unable to hold it. These people used to be their own citizens. Even, among these people, there are many of their own fathers and villagers. There, isn't the old man who knelt on the ground the old man from the first household at the entrance of the village? When I was young, I liked to sit under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village and listen to the old man tell stories.

There, the village girl with the baby in her arms, isn't that the neighbor's second sister-in-law? Looking at the baby in her arms, is this child, who is only so young, going to suffer so much? Looking at the pale face of the second sister-in-law, it is obvious that there is no nutrition, so isn't the child's milk? And the little boy with pigtails next to her snuggled up to her weakly, Huzi?

The guards thought of this originally lively and cute little boy, but now he really looked half-dead. What is going on in this world?

Why do these innocent people, relying on their own hands, get up early and work greedily every day, but in the end they have the fate of not having enough food and clothing? Even, now he can't even guarantee his own life, and he only depends on the mercy of the superior to survive.

And like his uncle, he never works, not to mention killing people like hemp, and he doesn't know how many lives he has in his hands, but he eats fragrant food, drinks spicy food, and commands a team of thousands of people.

Why? Why is this world so unjust?

"Uncle!" The guard, who had suffered a huge shock in his heart, shouted a salutation that made the one-eyed general quite displeased.

"Didn't I say that in the army, call me a general......" But before he finished speaking, the one-eyed general who turned back was frightened by the tearful guards, and shouted: "Xiaoyi, how did I tell you, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, cut her for me!" As soon as she fished it out, a little girl like dry firewood was scooped up by the one-eyed general and thrown at the guard.

However, the reaction of the guards surprised him, only to see him turn over and dismount, catch the little girl who threw him, put it on the ground, and then knelt down facing the one-eyed general: "Uncle, I can't do it!" These people are our fathers and fellow villagers! ”

The one-eyed general glanced at the unruly guards hatefully, and when he wanted to say something, he turned around and found that it was not only his nephew who was a soft-footed shrimp, but also the soldiers of the five hundred people, all with tears in their eyes.

"Uncle, let them go!" The guard yelled again, tears mixed with blood on his forehead, but he still kowtowed on the stone floor.

The one-eyed general was furious, returned to the horse and came to the guard, and dismounted was a lecture: "What are you doing!" Get up for me! It's not worth shedding tears for these untouchables, and you can't kowtow to them! "My sister handed over her son to herself, not to let the child suffer, and the one-eyed general understood this matter deeply, so she always took him with her, and never even let him do heavy work. But today, this kid is stimulated by some kind of stimulus to intercede for these untouchables!

"Get up!" The one-eyed general roared, and this roar was infused with fighting spirit, and everyone was frightened when they smelled it. A guard is about to stand up, but he knows that once he gives up, these people will die, and this uncle is by no means a soft-hearted person!

"My nephew dies here today, and he won't get up! Unless my uncle can spare these innocent people! The guard raised his head, and his crying red eyes looked directly at the one-eyed general, and there was endless determination and perseverance in his eyes.

"Please have mercy on the general and save us!" At this time, the cloudy eyes of the people also instantly cooled, and this little general's willingness to intercede for himself and others was undoubtedly a great opportunity. Most of the young and strong people who had been assembled before, but they were not the general's opponents at all, and they were all killed, so now there are many old and weak people who are kneeling, and even some children are among them.

The one-eyed general glared back angrily, in his opinion, these pariahs were really cunning, too good at finding opportunities to cause trouble for themselves.

"Get up!" The one-eyed general forcibly dragged the guard up from the ground, but the guard was still stubborn, and although his body was in mid-air, he still maintained a kneeling position. The stubborn eyes also firmly looked at the one-eyed general, and did not fall behind at all.

"Good! I promised you, you get up for me. In desperation, the one-eyed general could only shake his head and let go of the guard.

However, the guards were not resigned, still kneeling, looking at the one-eyed general with their red eyes, and said, "Uncle, please give the order to retreat!" ”

"Okay, you're amazing!" The one-eyed general also loves the only male in this family, otherwise he would not have taken him with him because of his sister's words. This kid's personality is exactly the same as himself, as long as he believes in something, he will never give up, and he must achieve his goal.

"Give me a retreat!" Mingjin's voice came, and the army of five hundred people quickly withdrew.

"You're doing it yourself!" The one-eyed general snorted, got on his horse and left.

However, the guard, who had been kneeling for a long time, was unable to stand up all of a sudden. The sharp-eyed people immediately gathered around.

"Little general, get up quickly, don't hurt yourself because of us pariahs."

"Yes, little general, get up quickly. If it weren't for you, this general who killed a thousand knives would really kill us all! ”

A few people who were running fast hurriedly ran over to help the guards up.

The guard got up and said, "Fellow villagers, please leave." If this happens to me next time, I really can't promise that I will be able to save you. ”

"Hey." However, the words of the guards caused many people to sigh, people were wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, treating this life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for their own lives could not be guaranteed, these simple people would have already taken out all kinds of chickens, ducks and fruits to entertain him.

"What's the matter, why don't everyone go? I'm not kidding! The guard wondered, and he was a little puzzled by this unison sigh.

The whispering never stopped, but the small voice like a mosquito and fly could not be heard by the guards at all, and finally, an old man who was close explained: "Little general, it's not that everyone doesn't want to leave, but because they fled here, there are not many rations, and there are no more." That's why they robbed the military rations before. The young and strong people in the family are gone, and today everyone has the will to die, which is what happened today. ”

Hearing this, the guards fell silent.
