Chapter 246: Factions
The soldiers who did not fall into the country fell into an extremely excited state, and the swords in their hands could not stop trembling, and some of them had already left their saliva excitedly.
In their opinion, it is only a matter of time before the next city is captured, but it is not enough to see them in the dust at the snap of a finger.
After all, they didn't attack the last city like this, they just surrounded them. Within fifteen days, most of the soldiers inside starved to death, and only those who fought against hunger lived longer, but only for a day or two.
When the soldiers couldn't stand the hunger anymore, they broke through the city gates and launched a purge inside!
All the civilians were killed by them, and the women were tied up and sent to military tents, where they were allowed to insult at will.
These are the things they love to do the most.
"Little ones! Eat and drink enough today, and tomorrow we will officially march into the attack! When the time comes, kill them and leave no armor behind! ”
As soon as the leader shouted, the soldiers around him also shouted excitedly: "There is no piece of armor left!" Leave no armor behind!! ”
After shouting, the soldiers again buried their heads in the meat, as if they were eating not beef and mutton, but the meat of the enemy.
And in the towns that are far away from the army of the country, Lu Li and a few people are supervising the city defense system.
Those who did not want to sleep and were willing to earn money went to dig trenches, cut down trees, and build walls.
There are not a few people who are willing to make money, and there are also some people who are not just to make money, but to live for a longer period of time.
Some civilians understand that if the army that has fallen into the country really comes in, they will not survive at all.
So they didn't want money either, they just wanted to repair the walls as soon as possible. Although those people didn't know how big the gap was between the two, they still wanted to keep the place where they lived.
"Quick! On the city walls! Move stones! Lu Li shouted as he picked up two big stones and walked up with a flying stride.
Now there is no military rank of general, now there is just an ordinary person who fights to protect the people.
"General Lu, why did you personally move the stones?" Xiu Citian walked to the city gate and looked at Lu Li with some differences. He could feel the energy in Lu Li's body, indicating that this person had also been assimilated and belonged to his own people.
Lu Cheng looked up at the person who came, and frowned when he found that it was Xiu Citian, a big rich man, he didn't like this kind of rich man very much.
These rich men have never thought about the surrounding civilians, although they are not like the imperial court to loot the people's fat and ointment, but they are almost the same.
When there is no shortage of rice, stock up on rice, and buy it at a high price when there is a shortage of rice.
This kind of person who is difficult to make a fortune is disdained by Lu Li, but he still has the etiquette to reach out and not hit a smiling person.
"Master Xiu, what kind of wind blew you here?" Lu Li put down the stone in his hand and saluted Xiu Citian, but because his status was higher than Xiu Citian, he only hugged his fists and did not make a big salute.
"The main thing is that I heard a lot of movement here, so I also came to take a look, and I also want to add to our city."
Xiu Citian didn't lie to anyone, he really wanted to see what was going on here because it was louder.
After I came over, I found out that the construction started overnight because of the city defense problem.
"Really? Master Xiu, you really don't listen to things outside the window, and only read the books of sages! The army of the unfallen country is about to fight, and you know the situation. After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he ran down again, grabbed two big stones, and walked up.
Seeing that he was so unpopular, Xiu Citian scratched his head.
Is it so unpopular just because he is a rich man? Obviously, I still want to do my part for the defense of the city here!
"Butler, go and call the housekeepers, as well as the nurses. Come and help General Lu with the city defense! Fast! Be quick! Xiu Citian's voice deliberately shouted loudly, drawing Lu Li's gaze.
Seeing Lu Cheng looking at him, Xiu Citian walked down from the city wall with a smile and said to Lu Cheng: "General Lu, we are all one kind of people, so you don't have to be hostile to me. And if the city is broken, it won't do me any good, I really want to make this city good! ”
Xiu Citian's words were mixed with courtesy and flattery, which made Lu Li a little unsure of Xiu Citian's thoughts.
"Say something if you have something. People like you don't have real friends, they only have friendships that are maintained by interests. Lu Cheng had already sensed that Xiu Citian seemed to have something to ask of him, so he came to him.
Seeing that Lu Li said that he was so cheap, Xiu Citian raised his eyebrows.
Indeed, a person like himself will not have friends, only cooperative relations and superior-subordinate relationships, because he has received education since he was a child is the benefit to maintain everything!
"General Lu, it's a bit too much for you to say that. Although I don't disagree, it really hurts my heart that you say that. It's my heart that hurts the people! Xiu Citian touched his conscience pretendedly, as if he had really been hurt by Lu Li.
"Huh! Sincerely love the people? Do you believe this yourself? Two years ago, there was a famine here, and both the county government and we came to ask you for a little food, but you turned us away and only gave us 100 catties of food.
How many people are starving to death on your doorstep? How many people were killed by you that year for taking your food? I believe anyone who says that he sincerely loves the people, but I don't believe you! Lu Yan snorted coldly, he never disdained to communicate with this kind of person.
Although he had already felt that there was a power in Xiu Citian's body that was of the same origin as himself, this did not prevent him from despising him!
Listening to Lu Li's scolding of himself, Xiu Citian's face gradually became gloomy.
So far, I haven't talked about the cooperation at all, and I've scolded myself!
"General Lu, I'm here to talk about cooperation, not for you to scold me! Do you understand?! "Xiu Citian is about to explode now, this person looks at himself innocently, and he scolds himself first if he doesn't do anything.
"Cooperation? What can I talk about with you? Lu Li said and didn't stop, bumped into Xiu Citian's body, carried two big stones and went up the city wall.
Lu Li's movements were very fast, and his movements against Xiu Citian were also very fast, knocking him away almost instantly, and then saying that question beside him.
"Don't you know that there are also factions among the subordinates of the Immortals?! When the time comes, you won't be able to support yourself alone, don't you need someone to help you?! Xiu Citian followed Lu Li, who was constantly going up and down, and took the trouble to explain the stakes.
Although Lu Yan didn't want to pay attention to him, he still asked with some curiosity: "Master Xiu, there are also factions among the subordinates of the Immortals?" How many are there? ”
"There is ...... for the time being," Xiu Citian secretly counted in his heart. Zhang Yuan and his master are a faction, he and his housekeeper are a faction, and the black clouds and black rain are missing, so let's count him as his own faction.
"Three!"
