Chapter 62: The Sack of the Soldiers
"Rich, rich!"
"I'm going to get rich this time!"
The so-called some people are happy, some people are worried, the Yan army was defeated and fled, it was extremely desolate, and the Xia army won a complete victory, capturing countless ordnance, horses, and baggage. A group of Xia soldiers found more than ten large boxes in a cellar abandoned by the Yan army, which contained gold, silver, jewelry and other property, and even some land deeds, which can be described as a huge wealth.
Twenty or thirty Xia soldiers immediately cheered around the more than ten large boxes.
"What are you shouting? What is it called? Are you afraid that others will not know? Hong Wuji scolded after walking into the cellar with twenty strong Xia soldiers.
"The little ones have seen Hong join the army!"
At this time, Hong Wuji, who was in the army, was already the number two person in Min Wuyan's department, so the Xia army suddenly quieted down.
"Master Min said." Hong Wuji glanced at them and said: "These belongings are all the people's fat and people's ointment seized by Hu Lu, and the imperial court moved south, and the state affairs were difficult, so the Min army lord ordered Ben to join the army to return these belongings to the imperial court and collect them in the treasury. ”
What Hong Wuji said was the truth, Min Wuyan had already discovered this batch of gold, silver and jewelry, but the pursuit of the Yan army was very tight at that time, and he had no time to take care of these belongings, so Min Wuyan ordered Hong Wuji and others to do this.
"Hong joins the army, is it all in the treasury?" A Xia Jun asked reluctantly.
Hong Wuji glanced at this Xia Jun and said, "This is what the Min Army Master ordered, but is it unreasonable for this to join the army?" Brothers have worked hard for a long time, there should always be some hard money, rest assured, I will never treat you brothers badly, hurry up and get into the carriage, remember, cover it tightly with an oilcloth, and don't let others know about it. ”
"Yes!" When the Xia army heard this, they were overjoyed, found oilcloth and ropes, tied more than ten large boxes tightly, and then moved them into the carriage.
Money can be channeled!
Hong Wuji looked at the more than ten large boxes, and these four words suddenly popped up in his mind.
...............
"Money is not everything, but no money is everything." Zhou Fugui, who was riding on a horse, took out a piece of cooking cake and smiled at the little Yunu sitting in front of the saddle: "Brother is so poor that there is only this cookcake left, eat it quickly, Yunu." ”
Xiao Yunu was also very hungry, opened his mouth to reveal a row of small teeth like braided shells, and bit on the cooking cake, but the well-behaved and sensible Xiao Yunu, after rolling his eyes, let go of his teeth, handed the cooking cake to Zhou Fugui's mouth, and said in a milky voice: "Big brother, you eat." ”
Xiao Yunu is so well-behaved and sensible that it is heart-wrenching, so that after Zhou Fugui swallowed his saliva, he touched Xiao Yunu's head and smiled: "Brother is already full, you can eat quickly." ”
In fact, where did Zhou Fugui eat enough? For a whole day and a night, Zhou Fugui was not a grain of rice, not only Zhou Fugui, but the entire White Tiger Camp was like this, and the White Tiger Camp had been interrupted.
At present, the White Tiger Camp is not as Zhou Fugui said, so poor that there is only this piece of cooking cake left, and there are still some belongings, but on the way to escape, the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, so even if you have gold and silver money and other things, where can you buy food and drink? Even if it's a robbery, you have to have a place to grab it, right?
After Xiao Yunu glanced at Zhou Fugui suspiciously, he ate the cooking cake sweetly.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Zhou Fugui handed Xiao Yunu a bag of mountain spring water, then looked at the surrounding wilderness and asked, "How far is it from Xuzhou?" ”
"About 170 miles." Scout Banner General Feng Cheng replied.
"Uncle, how far is it?" Zhou Fugui couldn't help but curse loudly when he heard this.
Zhou Fugui led the White Tiger Battalion to escape to Guangling County, but Guangling County was still in a dilapidated state, the city walls were destroyed, the houses collapsed, and except for the fleeing Yan army, there was no half of the Xia people at all.
After the Yan army captured Guangling County, they wantonly burned and plundered, and destroyed the walls and houses of Guangling County and its surrounding cities in anger.
Zhou Fugui and other soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion could not get supplies in Guangling County, so they had to continue to flee north, intending to flee to Xuzhou and then rest.
At this time, there are more than 170 miles away from Xuzhou, for Zhou Fugui and others, it is as far away as the horizon, if it is in peacetime, if all the cavalry is there, within two days, it can gallop to, but now the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, plus the break, it is almost difficult to move an inch.
"Hmm... It's delicious! After nibbling on the cooking cakes, Xiao Yunu drank a few sips of mountain spring water, and immediately groaned with satisfaction.
Xiao Yunu is not like this, but she is like this, but Zhou Fugui is very uncomfortable in his heart, for the nobles, coarse grains such as cooking cakes are only suitable for feeding livestock, but Xiao Yunu she...
Can't go on like this anymore, he and the others can survive the hunger, but Xiaoyu Nu can't, Zhou Fugui said secretly in his heart.
"Yunu, when you're full, will you go to sleep first? My brother consulted with other uncles and elder brothers. So Zhou Fugui said to Xiao Yunu.
"Hmm..." Xiao Yunu is a child, he said he would sleep when he said he would, he nodded when he heard the words, and fell asleep in Zhou Fugui's arms after a while.
Zhou Fugui turned over and dismounted, first carried Xiao Yunu into a carriage, and after settling her, he beckoned Dian Meng, Xu Mancang, Suo Da, Pan Jiangui, Feng Cheng, Li Qing and others over.
"I can't go on like this..."Zhou Fugui beckoned his generals over and said: "Otherwise, I won't be able to wait until Xuzhou, and I will starve to death and die of exhaustion halfway through, Feng Cheng, is there a city nearby?" Such as small county towns and the like. ”
In order to survive, for the sake of Xiaoyunu, Zhou Fugui didn't care whether Sanqi was twenty-one or twenty-something, and planned to ransack the city.
"The last general will see." When Feng Cheng heard this, he took out a sheepskin, and the sheepskin was marked with the cities, villages and towns near Xuzhou in detail.
"Here..."After a while, Feng Cheng pointed to the sheepskin and said: "Suining County, I am less than ten miles away from here, and the cavalry can reach it in a moment, but..."
"But what?" Zhou Fugui looked at the sheepskin and asked.
"Suining County is a remote small county, after the army captures Xuzhou, it will not necessarily go to capture such a remote small county, so Suining County does not know who is in the hands, if it is in the hands of Xia, my White Tiger Battalion cavalry is only more than 400, can more than 400 cavalry capture Suining County?" Feng Cheng replied.
"I don't care whose hands it is." Zhou Fugui heard the words and said: "No matter who is in the hands, we just want to eat and drink, and if the soft ones don't work, the hard ones will come, as for the four hundred cavalry... Don't you hear that Guan Gong passed five levels and cut six generals? Besides, there are more than 2,000 foot soldiers in my White Tiger Battalion, that's it, the cavalry raided, and the foot soldiers then covered up, and immediately marched to Suining County, so that the brothers could eat and drink enough. ”
Who is Guan Gong? Who are you? Everyone was disdainful when they heard this, but they didn't have a better way, so they nodded yes one after another.
...............
"How's going on out there?"
Suining County is a remote county under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, with sand dunes and saline-alkali tablets, and it is also a poor county. At the same time, as Feng Cheng expected, after the Yan army captured Xuzhou, he did not pay attention to Suining County, a remote and small county, but directly sent his troops south, so Suining County was still in the hands of Xia.
The county magistrate of Suining County is surnamed Wu Tiangui, who is over sixty years old and has been sitting on the chair of the county master for more than ten years.
Wu Tiangui's performance was mediocre, so he couldn't get promoted, and in the end he simply didn't leave, planning to be an official here until he became a leader.
Wu Tiangui knelt behind a short-legged yellow rosewood case, tasted the precious Fuliang tea, and asked one of his servants while playing with a pair of gold pixiu in his hand.
The so-called poor temple rich abbot, Suining County is a poor county, but Wu Tiangui is not only not poor, but also rich and oily, of course, they are all grabbed people's fat and people's ointment, and this is also one of the reasons why Wu Tiangui is reluctant to leave Suining County.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Wu Tiangui is very free to be an official here.
Wu Tiangui was worried about Yan Jun before, but after a long time, no Yan Jun came to Suining County, so he gradually relaxed and continued to be his county master.
"The little one just inquired." Wu Tiangui's subordinate officials replied: "Hu Lu is defeated, our army is victorious, Hu Lu is retreating to the north, and the imperial army is catching up." ”
"Well, Hu Lu was defeated, and our army won a big victory?" Wu Tiangui didn't feel very happy when he heard this, but he was a little worried, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is it true?" ”
Wu Tiangui is the county master, the most important thing is to be stable, steady and steady, and then take the people's fat and people's ointment, find a treasure of feng shui, and live at ease.
If the Yan army really comes, it's a big deal to surrender to Yan is, and he can still continue to be his county master, but at this time, the Yan army is defeated, and the Xia army wins, if the Xia court pursues Wu Tiangui's responsibility for avoiding the war, maybe Wu Tiangui, the county master, will not be able to do it.
"It's true! The lord put it—" replied the officer.
"Bang!" Before the official could speak, several officials slammed open the gate of the county government and stumbled in front of Wu Tiangui.
"What happened?" Wu Tiangui said angrily when he saw this.
"Hu... Wildly... Hu..."A servant panicked and stammered, and he didn't come up with a reason for a long time.
"Huh?" Wu Tiangui asked.
"Hu Bing is here, and he has already entered the city." Another officer, who was slightly calmer, replied.
"What?" Wu Tiangui was stunned when he heard this, and the blue and white porcelain tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered.
Wu Tiangui had already planned a countermeasure, but when it came to the end, he was still frightened.
"Master, run, it's too late." Several officials shouted together.
At this time, the gate of the county government was knocked open again, and more than a dozen Yan cavalry rode in directly, and a young Yan general strangled the war horse under his crotch, looked at Wu Tiangui and said with a smile: "The little ones came to ask the master to eat for food, what?" The county lord wants to run? This is too faceless for us, right? ”
"Hahahaha!" The Yan army burst out laughing.
