Chapter 217: Something Happened
Lu Yan was woken up in the middle of the night.
"What's wrong?" Liu Meibao also got up, but was pressed by him.
"It's okay, I'll take a look when you sleep." Lu Yan said with a smile and kissed her on the forehead, "When we go to see the lights tomorrow, you're almost asleep, we have to go shopping until the evening." ”
Liu Meibao didn't want to make him uneasy, so she smiled and nodded.
"Then be careful." She instructed.
Lu Yan nodded and went out, and he didn't return all night.
All the teams in the hall were summoned, and everyone looked solemn, and stopped talking in a low voice after the messenger walked in.
"What do they mean?" Lu Yan asked.
"Songshan Fort said that we led the troops across the border without permission....." The messenger said.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yan.
"Don't talk about these useless things, it's not like this." Lu Yan's expression was gloomy and a little impatient, "What do they want?" ”
"Captured," replied the courier.
"How much?" The master asked on the side, and looked at Lu Yan again, "If it's half, forget it, everyone take a step back..."
Lu Yan didn't answer, but looked at the messenger, waiting for his answer.
The messenger raised his eyes to look at Lu Yan with a little timidity.
"To. . . To all. He stammered.
There was a bang in the hall.
"How dare they speak?"
"Beat him up with a donkey ball."
"Dare to come and pick peaches, and don't look at who we are..."
Watching the atmosphere suddenly tense. The master coughed heavily and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Let's talk, they made a condition that we can talk, what's the hurry," he said, looking at everyone with a heavy face, "Anyway." From the point of view of military law, it is a big crime to lead troops across the border without permission..."
Lu Yan smiled and slowly moved his wrist.
"Come on, assemble.." He said.
There was a boom below.
"Slowly, slowly." The master grabbed Lu Yan and waved at everyone in the hall. was so anxious that his face was red, "Don't come nonsense, don't come nonsense, now we are soldiers, don't come nonsense..."
"I'm not nonsense, I'm going to talk to them personally." Lu Yan said with a smile.
The master looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Hurry up, the people of Matsuyama Fort can speak. If they don't hand over their seizures, they will be treated as bandits." The messenger hurried.
"Who's leading the team this time?" Wang Jiu asked.
People in the hall, you look at me, I look at you.
"It's Brother Junko." Someone shouted.
Dare to gallop hundreds of miles across the border and run to Songshan Fort to attack the famous cottage at night, and this bastard boy who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth! The master couldn't help but stomp his feet.
"Go, go." He no longer blocked the inquiry, but urged Lu Yan.
At the sound of the order, a team of 1,000 people gathered and rolled away in the southwest direction.
"Talk about it, you have to talk about it." The master told him a thousand times, watching Lu Yan leap away, and the army quickly disappeared into the wilderness. He stood still for a long time.
As the matter of the master's negotiation, he should have followed, but Lu Yan said that at this time, the disaster relief matter is inseparable from people, and the money and food are tight, so the master should be relieved.
This is also the case, with the increase of hungry people this time, the Dingkou of Hedong Yibao is also increasing, and there are many things such as resettlement and labor comfort. Leaving himself, these big coarse people were afraid that they wouldn't be able to play, so the master stayed.
However, he is getting more and more uneasy in his heart, he must be able to talk about it, right? Probably can, right? Thinking that he didn't wait for others to ask for it, Lu Yan generously took the initiative to donate the money and grain seized across the border to the post fort in the territory. In line with the principle of hello, I am good, everyone is good.
Is it just that the negotiations need to bring so many soldiers?
The master had some doubts in his heart, but what Lu Yan said was right, at least he had to scare them, so that the price could be discussed well, and he was relieved, it is not easy to go to the position of ethics now, the higher the position, the more careful he will be, and only the hairy boy who has nothing will do it.
The north wind became more and more violent, and dark clouds came from the horizon.
"Ahh With a scream, a soldier who had just poked his head out from behind the stone was carried down by an arrow fired from the mountain.
A few strange shouts and cheers on the mountain.
"This group of bitches raised.." The soldiers under the mountain scolded one after another, "Don't you really think that we won't dare to beat them just because of their 100 people?" ”
Having said that, the soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, and none of them stepped forward, looking at the top of the mountain with fear on their faces.
Scattered beneath them were corpses, the corpses of the bandits who had been used as rolling stones when they stopped them from discrediting the mountain last night.
This gang of bandits in Songshan Fort, according to rough estimates, has thousands of people, horses, and is said to have a few muskets, which is very powerful, and then look at these corpses now, all kinds of miserable appearances with broken torsos and broken heads, I can't see clearly at night, and I don't feel how it looks, if it looks like today, it really makes people feel chilled, and even more timid vomiting.
"It's a big deal, it's consumed, see who's afraid of whom." A man who looked like a team officer snorted with a fierce face.
So everyone continued to shout at the top of the mountain, shouting that they had been shouting all night to lay down their weapons and go down the mountain to confess their guilt, and so on, but there was no response from the mountain, but when some soldiers were bold enough to walk a few steps up the mountain, cold arrows were fired.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain there were two camps, and two bonfires were lit in the snow, on which half a goat was roasted, giving off an enticing aroma.
Seven or eight men in iron armor were laughing around the campfire, all looking happy.
“.. When Lu Yan comes, don't give him a good face. One of them said to the big man in the middle, "This guy is flying and domineering, I won't teach him a lesson this time, and we can really be trampled by him at will." ”
A piece of echo harmony.
"This reckless man doesn't know where to find a yellow ginseng general to be a backer, there are many generals in Shanxi, and he is not the only one who knows it." The man in the middle is in his forties, it is the ethics of Songshan Fort, with a stout figure, a red face, holding a leg of mutton in his hand and eating a mouth full of oil, while saying, his eyes are full of gloom, "A bandit was born in a rogue. I really think of myself as a person....."
"Let's give him a dismount first!"
"There is military law here, this time I want to kill his majesty!"
Everyone said loudly.
"It's all tired all night, everyone eats meat, eats meat, and is so energetic when they are full." The Keeper of Matsuyama Fort waved his hand and laughed and said, "There is no need to bother with such a small night..."
His words did not fall. Just listen to a commotion.
"What's wrong?" The crowd didn't bother to get the mutton, so they inquired one after another.
"My lord, my lord is not good." A soldier rushed forward with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, half of his clothes stained red with blood. The ordinary soldiers of Songshan Fort have no armor to wear, and it would be good to have a winter robe that is not too torn, his face was panicked, and he stretched out his hand to the rear and pointed, "The people of Hedongyi have killed ......"
Kill it? What does it mean to kill over?
These words surprised everyone, and they hurried to the outside of the camp, and there was a gentle slope down the mountain. When I looked up, I saw a group of men and horses, cavalry in front, infantry in the rear, all dressed in iron armor, armed with spears, equipped with shields and waist knives, and came in a strict procession, with four strong men in red cloaks in the center surrounded by a man who was also dressed neatly.
"Lu Yan, you're just in time, let's have a good talk..."The ethics of Songshan Fort squinted at Yan and saw the man clearly. Shen Yan shouted.
As soon as his voice came out, he saw Lu Yan raise his hand, and suddenly shouted in unison, which startled the people in Songshan Fort, who were caught off guard.
"Talk?" Lu Yan smiled coldly and slowly pulled out his waist knife, "What are you, you deserve to talk to me..."
He uttered the words slowly. Swing the waist knife in your hand forward.
"Whoever dares to stand in my way to the east of the river will die."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Songshan Fort was full of astonishment, thinking that they had misheard, but they saw that the team over there had changed their formation.
They shouted in unison, and the cavalry spread out on both flanks. The infantrymen stepped in with shields in one hand and guns in hand.
"Fuck, this shitch is crazy!" The Songshan Fort guard's face was blue and thunderous, and he pulled out his waist knife with a choking sound, and kicked it on the soldier who was still stunned in front of him, "What the hell are you doing, copy the guy to fight!" ”
At the foot of the mountain, people are turning on their backs.
The soldiers on the hill, who had been vigilantly watching, suddenly stood up from behind the rocks and waved their bows and arrows.
"Your Excellency is here!" He shouted, his bloodshot eyes reddening, "Your Excellency is here!" ”
Zhang Shun and the others rushed over to look down when they heard this, and they could see clearly a few distinct Lu character flags, and the sound of fighting had already sounded.
"Brothers, my lord is here, go down the mountain to fight." He shouted loudly, waving the knife in his hand, "This time I'll do it for real, and get this bunch of miscellaneous pieces to death." ”
The soldiers who had been holding back for a day and a night rushed down with a roar, and the soldier who was demoted back to the recruit team by Zhang Shun because of his timidity in the first battle ran faster than anyone else, holding a spear and taking the lead with red eyes.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Tianshun, Pingyang Weixia Hedong Post Fort and Songshan Fort led the troops to fight, and the garrison was furious, and led the troops to detain the people on both sides.
"Don't worry, I'm asking someone to investigate..."The prefect's wife took Liu Meibao's hand and comforted.
Liu Meibao's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and her face was slightly pale.
"Then Mrs. Woe." She said, and couldn't help choking up again, "I don't know anyone here, only adults and wives treat my daughter like that."
The prefect's wife was busy wiping her tears, and couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"These men are happy outside the house, how do they know that we women are afraid at home." She sighed, took her hand and whispered, "You also go to Taiyuan, although it is said that there is a relationship, but it is very important that people go." ”
Liu Meibao was a little dazed, everyone knew that Lu Yan had a relationship in Taiyuan, and thought that it might be a general, in fact, she knew in her heart that the real relationship was the King of Jin, but how to ask for this relationship, she really didn't know, the vassal king strictly forbade personal relations with officials, if she went directly to the door to meet the King of Jin, it is estimated that not only will she not help Lu Yan, but will be avoided and disliked by the King of Jin, and she will ask someone to bring her words, who should she find?
After getting into the carriage, Liu Meibao couldn't hold back her tears and cried, and she was afraid that she would be heard by outsiders, so she covered her face with cushions.
If it weren't for her self-righteous kindness and charity, she wouldn't have attracted so many hungry people, and if it weren't for so many hungry people, Lu Yan wouldn't have swallowed it for her beyond her ability, and she wouldn't have been poor and red-eyed to suppress bandits, and she wouldn't have clashed with others.....
