Naturally, it is to chase the rain.
At this time, the mountain was full of wandering soldiers, and although the battle between the court and the An clan was nearing the end, there were still small-scale battles, displaced people, rebellious soldiers, bandits, and people from the Demon Sect. It's not peaceful everywhere.
Xie Yu came down the mountain, performed light work, and after a short time, the internal strength was insufficient, knowing that he did not have the internal strength of Zhang Fan Hu Yida, so he had to walk, to the top of the town, and then to buy horses. But unexpectedly, the war was raging, and the gray materials of the horse were all collected by the court and the toasts.
A team of soldiers came on horseback, this is a team of soldiers and horses of the court, it seems that this area has just been recovered by the court, and all the soldiers are vigilant and holding weapons.
Xie Yu was overjoyed when he saw someone riding a horse, and stepped forward and said, "This soldier, the little woman wants to borrow the soldier's horse." It's convenient. ”
Xie Yu spoke harmoniously, but the content of what he said was not harmonious, and the leader of the gang who took the lead saw it, and his heart was wonderful, and he said secretly: "What a beauty, she is crazy, she wants to borrow a military horse, and just take her down as a wife, it seems that she is from a big family, I don't know the outside world, and it is good, I am cheap Qin Laosan." Then he smiled and said: "Little lady, if you want to borrow a horse from me, that won't work, why don't you go to the barracks with me, and then I will lend you the horse." ”
Xie Yu said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I, I had to rob it." "The voice is gentle, not like a snatcher, but like a little girl who has done something wrong.
The gang leader also laughed and said, "Brothers, is the sun coming out of the west today? ”
Unexpectedly, when he said a word, Xie Yu pointed out, and before he could finish the rest of the words, he fell to the ground and could no longer speak.
All the soldiers were shocked, Xie Yu turned over on his horse, and said loudly: "I will return the horse, don't chase it." ”
The soldiers were frightened and wanted to open their bows and shoot arrows, but at this time, several branches flew over and hit the horses, and the soldiers were in a panic for a while, and they had no time to chase them.
Hu Yida hid behind the tree and chased in the direction where Xie Yu went.
Hu Yida got up quietly, and did not alarm the soldiers, chased after Xie Yu, Hu Yida's martial arts are much higher than Xie Yu, because Xie Yu did not know that Hu Yida was behind him, Hu Shi performed light skills, he could keep up with the Xie Yu of the horse, which is also a benefit of high martial arts.
At this time, within the two lakes, the war is not peaceful, the road is full of gunsmoke, Xie Yu does not know where Zhang Fan is, every time he goes, he has to ask around if there is a person similar to Zhang Fan's body, fortunately, Xie Yu has martial arts, as long as he is not a master of the top of the rivers and lakes, there is no need to worry, plus Hu Yida followed behind, a few people who did not open their eyes also let Hu Yi send away.
Xie Yu inquired all the way, and finally arrived in the Laifeng area, at this time, I couldn't find out about Zhang Fan's news, this Laifeng area, it is the place where the Tusi soldiers and the court soldiers fought each other, there was no one within a hundred miles, this battle, the people in the vicinity were dead.
Xie Yu is good at taking care of small animals, on the top of Bashan, Xie Yu raised more than ten puppies and kittens, and cherished the horses under him.
If you want to fight a place, there is no place to stay at all, Xie Yu asked for news last time, and learned that Zhang Fan had become a military doctor and followed a team of soldiers, and when he arrived in the land of Feng, there was no news of him.
Xie Yu let go of the horse, let the horse go to graze by itself, she just picked up the sword and walked around, she walked in a hurry, she was still wearing a green dress on the mountain, without changing into a strong suit, it looked like a flower, fluttering in this mountain land.
In this small mountain village, not to mention people, there is not a single bird, and there is no sound quietly.
Xie Yu said loudly: "Is there anyone? dare to ask someone?"
The sound came from afar, and in the silence, only a little smoke and dust were disturbed. In this world, there is more silence.
Xie Yu lifted his long skirt, pulled the horse, let the horse drink some water, and then led the horse to the village.
This is already April, the flowers are blooming, the eyes seem to be apricot blossoms, yellow and white, standing at the entrance of the village, a small wind blows, the flowers fall to the ground, fall in the small river at the entrance of the village, the rain treads water to the entrance of the village, and shouts loudly: "Is there anyone?"
The voice was heard far away, and no one answered.
The mud priest seemed to still emit a fragrant smell, Xie Yu saw this beautiful scenery, and said secretly: "If you can be with the senior brother, raise a few pigs and dogs, plant two osmanthus trees, get up in the morning and listen to the sound of the river, and the two of them look at the sunset at night, and then the whole life will pass like this, the senior brother will no longer have to hear that the demon sect and demons will be hunted and killed, and he will no longer have to wait at the gate of Bashan, it will really be a peaceful day." ”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help blushing, and I walked to the depths of this small village.
No, why does it smell of blood?
Xie Yu made a few turns in this small village and came to the dam in the middle of the village.
The smell of blood came to the face, and a pagoda made of human heads, about three zhang high, like a small mountain, stood in the middle of the dam, and flies flew around by this pagoda, making a buzzing sound.
These heads are all soldiers of the court, as well as nearby women and confucians, this pagoda, I am afraid that there are no less than 2,000 heads.
The dead soldiers opened their mouths wide and their tongues were cut out, many of them had their eyes open, looking at the sky and venting their dissatisfaction, dead old men with blood on their white beards
It seems to be very peaceful, the children don't know what death is, the eyes of the dying are full of incomprehension, and the women are still frightened.
Xie Yu threw himself on the side of the stone on the side of the road, spit out all the water he had just drunk, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Who did it?
For the first time, Xie Yu hated the war so much.
The horse neighed twice, turned his head and left, this war horse is also battle-experienced, knowing that this place is murderous, and he can't wait.
After Xie Yu vomited, he thought in his heart: "Senior brother Mo is not in this crowd, she can't help herself at the moment, and she wants to go forward to check, she has Zhang Fan in mind, so she has to endure her bad habits and go to check."
A figure descended from the sky, blindfolded Xie Yu, and said sternly: "Don't look at it, do you hear it?"
Xie Yu was shocked, and was about to draw his sword, when he heard that it was Hu Yida, he exclaimed: "Second senior brother, is it you." ”
Hu Yida tied the horse and said: "If you let the horse get away, then it will be difficult for you to walk, within this hundred miles, do you want to walk with your feet? ”
Xie Yu said softly: "I'm also out of shape for a while, senior brother, why did you go down the mountain, who is in charge of everything inside the door?"
Hu Yida said casually: "It's nothing, if you stay on the mountain, you will get sick, if something goes wrong with this old boy Zhang Fan, it will be very detrimental to the face of our Bashan faction, and I can also watch the first disciple of our Bashan faction, the sword is broken in the sky, Zhang Fan let the demon sect demon catch it, then let us put all the faces there." ”
Hu Yida took out a pack of trowels and said, "Just drink the water, you just saw so many dead people." ”
Xie Yu said: "Senior brother, there is really no senior brother in it. ”
Hu Yida sighed: "Don't worry, it's really not, I took a closer look." ”
Just now, Hu Yida set a fire and turned the human head pagoda into dust, when Hu Yida set the fire, his face did not change, he was calm, in fact, he had time to see them one by one, just to comfort Xie Yu.
After setting the fire, Hu Yida took Xie Yu to a clean place, Hu Yida had already pulled the horse back and tied it outside, otherwise, it would be difficult to relieve the rain in the future.
Hu Yida was unhappy when he saw Xie Yu, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Zhang Fan's life is big, and the master told him his fortune, eight words, "If you have a great suffering, you will be blessed in the end." "We'll look for him later, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him. ”
Xie Yu said: "Senior brother, who killed so many people, why did you kill so many people, isn't it good for everyone to be harmonious?"
Hu Yida sighed and said: "Zhang Fan just doesn't want so many people to die, this is the only thing I admire about him, he just thinks he can do some things, in fact, we can't do these things." ”
The two were talking, there was a commotion outside the village for a while, and there was a neighing sound of horses, it was the crossing of the soldiers of the brigade, about a mile away, Hu Yida immediately made a decision, and sent out a sword qi, which broke the cowhide of the horse tied to the door, and the horse that relieved the rain neighed, ran away alone, and ran to the place where there was grass outside the village.
On the side of the road outside the small village, a large group of land soldiers drove this way, all dressed in blue trousers and turbans, protecting a carriage in the middle, and drove into the distance. In this team of soldiers, there are also more than a dozen soldiers who take the lead on horseback, you must know that the Tusi soldiers and the court war, the most loss, is that there is no cavalry, and the people who come are escorted by more than ten cavalry, it can be seen that it must be a big man in the Tusi.
When the soldiers saw that a horse was grazing at the entrance of the village, several knights surrounded it, threw out a noose, and tied the horse.
Hundreds of Tusi soldiers stopped at the entrance of the village, and the smoke and dust fell for a while.
A voice came from the carriage, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage and commanded in a loud voice: "We told the envoy of the court that we would meet here, but why didn't we see anyone? ”
The clerk on one side stepped forward and said, "The court official is above, and the people of the court are talking about meeting here, and this is Octagonal Village." ”
This octagonal village is the junction of the forces of the two sides.
The official said: "Okay, let's wait here, Wu Zhangzhang's envoy must be on the way, you must put on a good military appearance, not to be underestimated by the people of the court, this time can we ask for a name for the dead Lord An." ”
It turned out that the court and An's Xiang and other Tusi discussed the issue of "Gui Shun" of the Land Division, that is, the two sides sent important people to meet here, this An's Tusi sent it, it was the Tang official surnamed Niu, this person is the big man of the An family, and among the Tusi, since the court "executed" Wang Siyuan, the An family's hatred for the court has faded, although An Congming died under Wang Siyuan's treacherous schemes, but the successor An Gaoping has always been close to the court.
Since Wang Siyuan forced the anti-public toast, at the beginning, the An's, Xiang's, and Mu's large and small toasts all followed the battle between the luxury family and the court, and once achieved a lot of results, almost out of the land of the two lakes, but one Chongqing and Guiyang were not defeated, and there was no beginning of the soldiers in these two lakes.
And later the court sent Zhou Shixin and a group of other generals, first leveled the problem of the displaced people in Shandong, the displaced people of Shandong in the last month and the border soldiers transferred by the court in a big battle, in which the right section of the Longyou Jiedu made the Mo knife array under the palm of the mighty, last month in Jinan, the court recovered the city of Jinan occupied by the displaced people, beheaded the head of the displaced people Wang Kaiping, the first transmission of the three armies, the displaced people of Shandong were defeated all the way, plus the emperor ordered, the disaster of Shandong, three years of non-levy, civil and military preparations, the army of the displaced people in Shandong was defeated and retreated.
At this time, the morale of the army was greatly inspired, and Xuan'en had not been captured, Wu Zhangzhang sent a secret envoy to divide and disintegrate the Tusi, and the An clan, who had a good impression of the court, immediately sent someone to contact, and the Xiang clan also began to waver.
This An family sent, is this surnamed Niu Tang official, this person is the An family for many years of old man, this meeting, is to hide the luxury family toast and other toast, luxury Zhengan is on the front line of Xuan'en at this time, can not understand the matter, Wu Zhangzhang also sent people capable manpower, to receive this Niu family hall official.
It's just that they don't know that the thousands of heads in this small village, in the middle of the village dam, are the people they are waiting for. The people they were waiting for died first.
Hu Yida took Xie Yu and leaned down on the beam.
There were many toast soldiers at the bottom, going back and forth, checking everywhere.
Xie Yu asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, weren't those people in the middle of the village killed by these Tusi soldiers?"
Hu Yida said: "I also wonder, why did this happen, it stands to reason that the people who died just now were all soldiers of the court, weren't these Tusi soldiers killed?"
Hu Yida turned his head and thought about it, suddenly his figure shook, and said, "It's not good, senior sister, did you see a flag on the human head pagoda just now?"
Xie Yu thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of it.
Hu Yida sighed: "That flag says "Two Lakes Recruiting Envoys". It is the people and horses of the court and the Tusi who negotiate peace. These people were in contact with the Tusi to negotiate peace. The two teams were supposed to meet here. ”
How did they die? Who killed them, who had the power to kill thousands?
One of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "Come and see, what is this?"
Dozens of local soldiers arrived in the middle of the village dam, which was the place where Hu Yida set the fire, although a fire was set on fire, but it was not burned clean, and the human head could still be seen clearly.
Then, another soldier found piles of headless corpses in the ditch at the entrance of the village.
Guarded by dozens of personal soldiers, Niu Tangguan reached the ravine, where the corpse was lifeless, and blood flowed into the fertile land, making it a crimson color.
The clerk on one side saw from the color of the dead corpse that these people were the guards of the camp of the commander of the Lianghu March, and they were Wu Zhangzhang's personal guards.
A soldier dragged a burned and damaged flag in front of the Tang official surnamed Niu, and the words "Two Lakes Recruitment" were vaguely visible on it, which was one of the many concurricularities of Wu Shanzhang.
All the soldiers were amazed, these thousands of people were all killed, and the death was so miserable that these soldiers who had been on the battlefield were shocked.
Niu Tang Officer shouted categorically: "What are you panicking about? Clerk, immediately send an order to order all the sergeants to form a formation, I want to see who can gnaw down our An Clan's elite soldiers."
The group retreated to the entrance of the village, and the soldiers immediately formed a formation with their backs, and the cavalry drove out on both sides, and released it immediately when the night was not closed, and the archers were deployed behind the formation, and the end was a strong general.
All the soldiers formed a good formation and waited for the battle.
However, between the mountains and rivers, there is still a quiet, there is no sound, except for the nervous sound of the trumpet, there is no sound at all.
The clerk said to the official surnamed Niu: "My lord, let's go back quickly, we are afraid that we will not be able to stop the enemy, and the enemy can completely annihilate the thousands of guards of Wu Zhangzhang, and the strength is not comparable to us."
At this time, there are definitely not a few people who have the same thoughts as this clerk.
Thousands of corpses are stacked together, and no one can withstand such psychological pressure.
The cousin surnamed Niu was furious, slapped the clerk in the face with his backhand, and scolded: "You scholar, what do you know? Don't you see the dead people just now?
