Chapter 064: The Wanderers Advance Eastward
East of Jiaozhou, Rongyang County.
Under the setting sun, the originally prosperous Rongyang County Mansion was only left with a broken wall at this time.
In the city, groups of homeless people were like hungry wolves that had entered a flock of sheep, constantly breaking into one people's house after another, and then there were bursts of frightened screams from these broken houses.
In the palace, Li Hu walked out of the back office with a satisfied face, he had just enjoyed the two-room concubine room of the Rongyang County Guard, and the silky skin of the two women made Li Hu, who was a street ruffian a few months ago, have endless aftertastes.
Li Hu was originally a ruffian in a county seat in Yiyang County, after the flood in Yiyang County, seventy percent of the people in the county became homeless, Li Hu was lucky not to die in the flood, but also became a displaced person.
After becoming a homeless person, Li Hu relied on his rogue temperament to dare to fight hard, and entangled a group of fox friends and dog friends among the homeless people, and later the plague was together, and the officials in the county fled for their lives, Li Hu had no restraint and began to intensify.
Later, Ma Shun rose strongly, and Li Hu was among the first batch of homeless people to be co-opted, Li Hu was originally a bully and afraid of hardness, after being co-opted by Ma Shun, he was immediately very submissive, and he saddled up all day long, and finally mixed into the position of a general.
That's right, now Li Hu is one of the three generals among the exiles, and he was ordered to command 20,000 exiles to capture Rongyang County.
Obviously, today's Rongyang County has been occupied by displaced people, and so far, the three counties of Yiyang, Nanyang, and Rongyang in Jiaozhou have all fallen into the hands of Ma Shun!
Just when Li Hu was reminiscing about the taste of the two women just now, a short man about thirty years old walked into the mansion, this man had a mustache and a pair of small eyes with a shrewd look.
"General Li, Rongyang County has been breached, should we go home?" This short man's voice was a little hoarse, his face was black and purple, not like a living person, but his words and deeds were no different from a living person.
"Why is Wang Sijun so anxious, now that the brothers have just captured Fucheng, why don't you have to rest for two days before going back!" Li Hu replied with a haha.
"Rest is naturally to rest, hehe-" Wang Sijun smiled obscenely, touched his beard lightly and said, "It's just that just after breaking through Rongyang County, does the general really want to withdraw his troops?"
"Oh?" Li Hu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does Wang Sijun mean ......?"
"More than thirty miles northeast of Rongyang County is Donghai County-" Wang Sijun squinted and said, "I heard that Donghai County is rich and wealthy, and the roads are paved with sea pearls, especially those maritime merchants, it is said that the houses at home are made of agarwood as beams, and glass is used as tiles......"
The more Wang Sijun spoke, the more excited he became, the more he said, the narrower his eyes became, as if the mountains of gold and silver were in front of him, and Li Hu on the side listened to his words, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"But the Heavenly Master once warned me not to send troops to attack places other than Jiaozhou, Donghai County is within Xuzhou......" Li Hu said with some hesitation.
"Hehe, Donghai County is only more than thirty miles away from here, and it will be possible to reach it in less than three days, so it can be said that it is close at hand!" Wang Sijun smiled, and then said, "Besides, we have eight hundred dead soldiers given by the Heavenly Master, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Li Hu heard Wang Sijun's persuasion, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "You go to give the order, the army will be repaired, and in two days, the troops will be sent to Donghai County!"
In the end, Li Hu still did not suppress his greed, although he did not believe that Donghai County was really rich and paved the way with Haizhu, but the world said that Xuzhou was rich, if Donghai County was broken, the gold and silver treasures obtained would definitely not be spent in a lifetime!
Moreover, Wang Sijun is right, with the 800 dead soldiers given by the Heavenly Master, who else in the world can stop him? What about the 50,000 troops of Rongyang County? In front of the 800 dead soldiers, it is not the same as mud!
At first, when Li Hu saw the dead pawn, he was scared enough, but later Li Hu knew that these demons were soldiers summoned by the Heavenly Master to fight, and the fear in his heart was reduced a little.
Then he witnessed the terrible nature of these soldiers, who were invulnerable, powerful, galloping like horses, and feeding on human flesh!
One after another city walls were broken by these dead soldiers, and the so-called elite of the imperial court were like lambs to the slaughter in front of these dark soldiers, just like today, Li Hu led a large army to attack the city from early in the morning, and after the dead soldiers attacked the city, it took only two hours to capture the city of Rongyang Mansion!
Therefore, Donghai County was completely a piece of fat in Li Hu's eyes! Although the Heavenly Master warned him not to leave Jiaozhou with troops before leaving, thinking of the pieces of gold and silver, Li Hu finally chose to send troops!
Xuzhou, Donghai County.
On the territory of Dazheng, the entire Xuzhou is like a snake head stretching into the sea from the land, and Donghai County is exactly in the "seven inches" of the snake, so Donghai County has many good ports, and at the same time, Donghai County has produced hundreds of maritime merchants!
Bao Xiang Lou was originally a big restaurant that has been inherited for more than 200 years, but because there are endless new wine floors in the city today, most of the people here like new things, so Bao Xiang Lou's business has not improved.
Despite this, Bao Xianglou still has many regular customers, such as Mr. Xu, who often drinks in the private room on the third floor.
Strange to say, the shopkeeper of Bao Xianglou remembered that Mr. Xu often came to drink when he was young, and Mr. Xu was about the same age as his father at that time, but more than 40 years have passed, and his father has died, but there is not a single white hair on this Mr. Xu's head.
The shopkeeper once told his son about this as a joke, but the shopkeeper's son didn't believe it, so he often asked Mr. Xu's age when he was drinking, and whenever the shopkeeper's son asked this question, Mr. Xu had only one answer, that is, I had forgotten!
"Have you heard? The displaced people over there in Jiaozhou have already attacked Rongyang County!"
"This matter has long been known all over the city, and I heard that those homeless people are all demons and ghosts who crawled out of the underworld, with green faces and fangs, and they are one enemy and one hundred! Tens of thousands of soldiers from Jiaozhou have been killed!"
"That's right! Rongyang is not far from us, I heard that in order to prevent these homeless people from attacking us, the wealthy merchants in the city paid 10,000 taels to recruit young people, and the recruitment notice was posted at the gate of the city!"
......
In the private room on the third floor, he heard the voices of the people in Jiaozhou everywhere downstairs, and a young man kneeling next to the desk looked a little panicked, and when he saw that the middle-aged scribe opposite him was still drinking indifferently, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xu, you say, will the displaced people over there really call?"
Mr. Xu's eyes were hazy at this time, his face was slightly red, he glanced at the young man in front of him lightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, he shook his body and said, "Will you call......?"
