Chapter 9: The Sorrow of the Nation
Under the scorching sun, on the blue brick city wall covered with vicissitudes, there were more than a dozen soldiers staggering, all of them were disheveled, and a heavy armor had already retreated half-pushed.
Some soldiers even complained in a rough voice: "Just this ghost sky, who will come to attack the city, the prison army is afraid that they will listen to a little song in the music square division at this time." β
Another sturdy black-faced soldier lying next to him said: "His grandmother is a bear, I don't see that any mob will come to attack the city, we are afraid that we will be roasted first." β
Immediately afterwards, another soldier with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said: "That's it, you see that these dozens of people sent to guard the city gate are all like that, and our three brothers still look like people. β
Indeed, at a glance, dozens of people, all of whom were old men, lying flat facing the sky, did not even have the strength to complain a few words; Only these three chattered and complained.
The sturdy black-faced soldier suddenly got up and stood up, "His grandmother is a bear, that's it, and he won't let us eat enough," he said, with a rapid, gurgling, gurgling sound in his stomach.
The sturdy black-faced soldier reached out and tore off the armor that was half-hung on his body, and said angrily: "his grandmother a bear, they go." β
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the exit of the city wall, and the two complaining soldiers behind him had jumped up and followed closely.
A soldier with a sharp-beaked monkey's gills at the back said with a little hesitation: "Big brother, if we leave like this, will we γγγγ β
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a manic voice, "The third child, you are afraid, I am afraid that his grandmother will be a bear, if you don't leave, will you be starved to death." The sturdy black-faced soldier who was at the front suddenly turned around.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked soldier said helplessly: "Big brother, I'm not afraid, but my motherγγγγ β
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another roar, "The enemy army is coming, everyone hurry up." Then a phantom flickered by.
"Quick, get up, go light the wolf smoke, go and tell the overseer."
Suddenly, dozens of people lying on the city wall were in a panic.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked soldier finally came to his senses, and turned around sluggishly to look out of the city, only to see a neat figure slowly coming towards the city gate.
The soldier standing next to the sharp-beaked monkey cheek said: "Third brother, look at this situation, we γγγ dozens of people, I'm afraid there is no way to live." β
At this time, dozens of people on the city wall stood motionless, looking at the army that was getting closer and closer.
The sturdy black-faced soldier roared angrily: "Second brother, you go and light the wolf smoke, third brother, you go and tell the overseer, and the rest of the people are ready to go." β
Everyone was in a panic again, time passed by second, the enemy army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the thick wolf smoke drifted towards the sky.
Everyone in the streets and alleys of the city stopped to look at the sky, and was silent for a while, and suddenly a panicked shout, "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, run!" β
Suddenly, people in the streets and alleys turned on their backs, trampled again and again, and the mournful shouts rose higher and higher.
And the 10,000-strong army that was getting closer and closer to the city gate saw the wolf smoke billowing from the wolf smoke on the city wall not far away, and they all looked puzzled.
The leading general in silver-white armor, with a calm face and a pair of phoenix eyes full of slaughter, this person is really the master of the dynasty who came to quell the rebellion of the mob.
Seeing the horse master, shrouded in murderous aura, where is there still the uninhibited shadow of the past.
The horse master raised his hand to signal, and the army behind him suddenly stopped advancing.
"Could it be that there is an enemy attack", the horse master grabbed the reins in his hand and said, "The generals will listen to the order and move forward at great speed." β
The generals who rode good horses, "Yes, the subordinates receive orders." β
The army of 10,000 people advanced at a rapid pace.
And dozens of people on the city wall, holding their breath, stared at the army coming from outside the city gate.
A voice with chattering teeth floated out intermittently, "It seems that γγγ seems to be the banner of our army, not γγγ not the enemy army." β
Although this sentence is ethereal, it is like a thousand catties beating the hearts of dozens of people on the city wall.
Immediately after, there was another voice, "It is the banner of our army, and the armor on my body is the same as ours." β
Suddenly, dozens of people cried with joy, and suddenly the sturdy black-faced soldier roared, "Quick, quick, quickly tell someone to extinguish the wolf smoke." As he spoke, he ran towards Wolf Yantai.
Everyone raised their eyes to look at the smoke in the air, and the starlight in their eyes receded little by little.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked soldier was like a sculpture, like a mosquito whispering, "It's too late, it's too late, it's all over." "There was no life in his eyes.
At this time, an army of 10,000 people approached the city gate, and a deafening voice came out, "Lord Ma has been ordered to come to quell the rebel mob and quickly open the city gate." β
The gates of the city, which had been baptized by the wind and sun, slowly opened.
In front of him, dozens of soldiers knelt on the ground, and the army on good horses walked towards these dozens of people.
"There may be enemy troops in the city, where is the army of Liu."
There was silence for a while, and everyone didn't dare to gasp, and suddenly the sturdy black-faced soldier stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Lord Ma spares his life, there are no enemy troops in the city γγγ in the city." β
"Huh? There are no enemy troops. β
"Master Ma spares his life, we thought it was the enemy army γγγ coming, so we lit the wolf smoke, please spare my life." After the black-faced soldier finished speaking, his whole body collapsed on the ground.
For a moment, there was silence, and no one dared to make the slightest movement.
The horse lord on horseback had a chill on his face, "Send the order to go down, garrison the city gate, and the army will follow me into the city." β
On the eve of the so-called Great War, it was like a farce.
The mighty army marched towards the city, and the streets were bustling with people on their backs.
The leading horse master, riding a BMW and wearing armor, at this time, his face was calm.
The former "Taikang Shengshi" has turned into smoke and rain and no longer exists.
After Emperor Wu unified the whole country, he used virtuous ministers, attached importance to production, persuaded agriculture and mulberry, and implemented the land occupation system economically, so that the people occupied a certain amount of land according to the law, and mobilized the people to open up the land; Recruit displaced people and build water conservancy.
It once showed the peaceful scene of the four seas and the world of Corning.
However, the good times did not last long, and the royal family gradually decayed.
The big families are greedy and wanton, and luxury is the norm.
How did he eclipse ten thousand dollars, and said that "there is no place to go".
Wang Kai and Shi Chong of the great clan compared each other with luxury, and the minister Fu Xian Shangshu said that "the cost of luxury is worse than natural disasters", and asked the emperor to stop it, but Emperor Wu was not only indifferent, but also funded his uncle to compete for wealth.
The bureaucrats were not only extravagant, but also openly robbed and killed.
For example, Shi Chong made the history of Jingzhou, "robbing far away to make businessmen and get rich".
Emperor Wu also became arrogant and extravagant, because he failed to solve the problems of political corruption, party chaos, the expansion of clan power and the internal migration of foreign clans, so that in just a few years, there were millions of displaced people.
The prosperity of the past is like yesterday's mirage, Emperor Wu died, the new emperor spent the New Year in chaos, relatives and harem interfered in politics, killing constantly, and hundreds of names were boring.
In the wilderness thousands of miles away from Luoyang City, under the scorching summer sun, the clothes are not covered, and the ears of the people in the sun are ringing, and the mouth seems to be about to breathe fire.
The long refugees, looking around, could not see the head and tail, and the crows could be vaguely seen pecking at the rotting corpses on the roadside, and everyone who saw them was silent.
The purgatory on earth breeds in this land that gave birth to me and raised me; Heroes are nameless, heroes have no tears, and a human purgatory is silent in the long river of history.
A young girl wrapped in tattered linen cloth showed only a pair of black eyes, and the little girl walking next to her was also dressed in the same way.
These two people are Yang Wuyang and Xiaodouding, hiding all the way, and there are fewer and fewer refugees with them.
In order to avoid the investigation of the government, they had to choose a difficult and dangerous mountain road, who knew that Rao was such a low-key two people would also be followed.
As the sun set, Yang Wuyang and Xiaodouding walked to the other end of the fork in the road, but they were still unhurriedly followed by a few refugees.
The calm and serene sunset is passing away.
The night finally fell, and the evil to the brave people still stretched out their grips.
The three refugee groups that followed all the way surrounded Yang Wuyang and Xiaodouding.
"If you want to live, you must hand over all your net worth, otherwise, don't blame us."
Xiao Douding nervously tugged at Yang Wuyang's shirt and stared at a few refugees vigilantly.
With the faint starlight, Yang Wuyang carefully observed the three refugees in front of him, all three of whom were tall, with fierce faces and red eyes.
In the blink of an eye, countless possibilities slipped through my mind, and I couldn't escape a gamble after all.
patted Xiao Douding's nervous body and gave him a reassuring look.
"Everyone, it's not difficult for me to keep something, but for my little thing, three people are really less, if one person takes it, if you want to eat and drink spicy food in the future, it will be more than enough."
Sure enough, seeing the three expressions that were like Sichuan opera's changing faces, Yang Wuyang was sure that the bet was right, but he needed to fill the fire again.
"It's not a secret, my family lives in Yecheng, although the family is not gold and silver, but the land is 100 acres, which is a somewhat meager property; This time I went out and separated from my relatives at home, to be honest, the war was chaotic, and my family didn't know if they could return to Yecheng safely, but in Yecheng in the future, I was a weak woman, and there were many inconveniences, and I really needed a man who could be the master of the house, so as not to be bullied. β
After speaking, he sobbed and cried, giving people an indescribable weakness.
The faces of the three refugees slowly cracked, and Yang Wuyang knew that his opportunity had come.
"If any benefactor can help the little woman, it can be regarded as the little woman's life-saving benefactor, and the little woman will definitely give it to her with all her net worth, and she will sing with her husband in the future and enjoy the family wealth.
The eyes of the three changed from contemplation to excitement, greed, and viciousness.
One of them had a diamond-shaped appearance with three white eyes, fierce eyes, and exposed teeth, staring at Yang Wuyang with ruthless and greedy eyes, word by word,
"You're right, but you don't have the guts."
In the blink of an eye, a bright butcher knife stabbed at his companion behind him, and seeing that one of them was killed, the other took a few steps back in horror, looking at the demon who turned and walked towards him, motionless, time frozen.
Yang Wuyang quietly looked at the two people who were hugging each other and fighting, his cold eyes didn't see any ripples, as if he was isolating himself from everything around him.
It's just a clasped hand that exposes the choppy waves under the calm.
Not surprisingly, this strange-looking refugee ended this smokeless battle, and the soul that had been oppressed for a long time was fearless, a demon that was unleashed.
His whole body was stained with the blood of his companions, like a devil who had come out of hell, and walked towards Yang Wuyang step by step.
"See, that's how I lied to me," spat out a mouthful of bloody purulent phlegm.
Yang Wuyang forcibly suppressed a tumbling in his stomach, but a lazy and heavy voice came from behind him, the Buddha came from far away.
