Chapter 38 Lure the snake out of the hole and release the landlord

The infantry of Yuan Shu's rear army could not withstand the onslaught of the cavalry and began to rout first. In order to survive, the defeated soldiers quickly retreated in the direction of the Chinese army, and as a result, the formation of the Chinese army was disrupted from the rear.

Xiahou, the chief cavalry general of the Jizhou Army, saw this God-given opportunity, and immediately made a decision, leading 10,000 cavalry to directly chase the rout into Yuan Shu's Chinese army.

In order to stabilize his position, Yuan Shu had to hurriedly pat his horse to meet Xia Houdun. But Xia Houdun had already been full of true qi and was ready for the battle qi technique, and when he saw Yuan Shu coming on his horse, Xia Houdun immediately released the battle qi technique - the clone slash.

I saw a military general riding a war horse composed of golden energy, and immediately rushed out from Xia Houdun's horse's head, like a golden general riding a golden war horse, and instantly hit Yuan Shu's horse's head, and the energy general even raised his energy long knife and slashed at Yuan Shu's head.

Yuan Shu hurriedly used the true qi of his whole body to resist the slash of the energy general, and turned sideways to avoid the vital point.

After a loud "boom", Yuan Shu's horse was knocked to the ground, and the energy knife finally slashed Yuan Shu's left shoulder, instantly breaking through Yuan Shu's hastily raised defensive true qi, making a huge and deep opening on his left shoulder, and immediately blood splattered out, and at the same time, Yuan Shu also fell to the ground from the horse.

Seeing this, Xiahou suddenly slapped his horse and rushed to Yuan Shu's side, his true qi filled the long knife, and his hand rose and fell, and immediately separated Yuan Shu's head. Subsequently, Xiahou Dun picked up Yuan Shu's head with a knife and shouted loudly: "Yuan Shu has been beheaded, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

The morale of the Jizhou army was suddenly high, and at the same time, they shouted loudly: "Yuan Shu has been awarded the head, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

When the army of Jicheng saw that Yuan Shu had indeed been killed, the army was immediately in turmoil, and those who fled fled, those who surrendered, and there was no resistance at all.

In the battle, the Jizhou Army annihilated the main force of the Jicheng Army, beheaded Hou Yuanshu of Youzhou, and received more than 40,000 soldiers. In the following half a month, the Jizhou army included the entire territory of Youzhou into the jurisdiction of Jizhou.

Today, Xiahou Yuan has 100,000 troops stationed in Handan City, while Xiahou Dun has 20,000 troops stationed in Jicheng. The two cities are at each other's throats and can support each other at any time.

By the end of November, the Red Star Army had carried out land reform in all the fields in the rural areas outside Handan, Jizhou. Under the circumstance that the Red Star Army deliberately did not take strict care, some landlords who were less evil were lucky enough to escape the supervision of the Red Star Army, and they quickly fled in the direction of Handan City.

At this time, the main force of the Red Star Army was hiding in the mountains of Taihang Mountain, west of Handan City.

Today, the Red Star Army has just carried out land reform on the fields of Qianjia Village in the mountains. The villagers, who had been allocated land and food, were rushing home to cook with happy faces, because many families had been without food for several days.

Soon, the crowd in the drying field in the village was almost gone, and only the village chief Qian Fugui was still sorting out some of the remaining materials that could not be divided evenly from the landlord's house that had been knocked down. According to the regulations, this part of the material is to be confiscated as the collective property of the village.

At this time, Liu Handong saw a little boy about ten years old standing in the drying field, holding a bag of grain in his hand, but he did not immediately leave the drying field and rush home like other villagers.

Seeing the little boy's strange behavior, Liu Handong walked over to him.

Liu Handong came to the little boy and said, "Little friend, what's your name, why don't you go home?" ”

"My lord, my name is Qian Erbao, and I don't have a home anymore." The little boy began to cry as he spoke.

So, Liu Handong asked the village chief Qian Fugui: "Uncle Fugui, is there something wrong with this child's family?" ”

Qian Fugui replied: "Alas, just five days ago, when the landlord Qian Buren passed by the door of Qian Erbao's house, he happened to meet his mother going out to dry clothes. Qian Buren saw that his mother was beautiful, and suddenly became lustful. It just so happened that Qian Erbao's father was not at home that day, so with the help of a few dogs, Qian Buren raped Qian Erbao's mother, and then walked away. ”

Qian Erbao's mother couldn't bear this insult and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river in shame. That night, after Qian Erbao's father came home and heard the villagers say this, he picked up a kitchen knife and rushed into Qian Buren's house, wanting to kill Qian Buren to avenge Qian Erbao's mother. It's a pity that he was discovered by Qian Buren's nursing home, and when outnumbered, Qian Erbao's father was beaten to death by many nursing homes. Now, Qian Erbao is an orphan. Qian Fugui said helplessly.

"What a brute, hateful landlord! Now, pity such a child! Liu Handong touched Qian Erbao's head as he spoke, and then said to him: "Qian Erbao, don't be sad, our Red Star Army will definitely avenge your parents." ”

"Now, Qian Buren has been defeated by us, and after tomorrow's public trial, such a heinous person, our Red Star Army will definitely let him be punished as he deserves. Qian Erbao, now that you are the only one left in your family, it is better for you to live in the village collective. A few cows in the landlord's house are used as the collective property of the village, so you can help the village collective put these cows, are you willing? ”

Qian Erbao said gratefully: "Brother Big Hero, I am willing!" Thank you for avenging my father and mother, and I will definitely repay you for your kindness by grazing these cows in the village. ”

Liu Handong praised: "Well, Qian Erbao is really sensible. Now that our Red Star Army is fighting the world, we hope to prevent a tragedy like your family from happening again. We, the Red Star Army, are determined to establish a beautiful new era of fairness, rule of law, and worry-free food and clothing, so that the people can live a beautiful and happy life. ”

"Of course, even in the new era, if you want to live a happy life, you need to work hard yourself, you must have the spirit of being willing to endure hardships, and you can only create super happiness by being diligent and willing to work, because happiness comes from struggle."

"Today, our uprising is still in its infancy, but as long as the broad masses of us ordinary people unite and jointly contribute our own strength to the cause of the uprising, we will certainly be able to achieve the final victory of the uprising."

"Just like you, as long as you herd these cows well for the village, you are contributing to the cause of the uprising. Because the cattle are raised, the adults can use the cattle to cultivate the land and grow crops, and the part of the grain grown is the military food of the Red Star Army. Otherwise, how will our soldiers fight when they are hungry? ”

"So, everyone can contribute to the cause of the uprising, even if it's a kid your age."

"Well, I see. It turns out that herding the cattle has such a great effect, and I will definitely seriously put the cattle in the village in the future, and I will also contribute to the cause of the uprising. Qian Erbao said and clenched his two small fists tightly.

Three days later, some landlords who had "escaped" from Qianjia Village and did not do much evil finally came to Handan City. These landlords immediately went to the yamen of Handan City to complain and reported the Red Star Army's land reform campaign to Taishou Yang Xiu. The landlords hoped that Taishou would quickly send a large army to destroy the Red Star Army and regain the land that belonged to them.

After understanding the details of the matter, Yang Xiu felt that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly went to the Hou Ye's Mansion to ask to see Xiahou Yuan.

Jizhou Hou Ye's Mansion, in the meeting hall, Xiahou Yuan sat high on the throne of the head, looking down at Yang Xiu who was kneeling on the ground below, Xiahou Yuan had a sense of pleasure of dominating the world!

After a long time, Xiahou Yuan, who had a full shelf, spoke: "Yang Taishou, get up." What is the matter to you? Why do you want to see Ben Hou in such a hurry? ”

Yang Xiu stood up cautiously, and then said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, today several landlords and squires from Qianjia Village came to the yamen to complain, and they said that there was an armed force calling itself the Red Star Army that had started the so-called 'land reform movement' outside the city. Specifically, it was to raid the landlord's house and give all their money, fields, grain and other property to the people in the village. ”

"These Red Star Army also bewitched the people with evil words, saying that everyone will not have to pay taxes to the landlords and the government in the future, and their Red Star Army will protect everyone. The Red Star Army will overthrow all the landlords and bureaucratic classes, so that all ordinary people can live a good life no longer being oppressed and exploited. ”

The subordinates asked these landlords and squires, does anyone know how many soldiers and horses the other party has? They all said that these Red Star Army actually had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and all of them were well-trained troops. So the subordinates were thinking that this group of men and horses might be the soldiers and horses of other princes. Now that the heroes are together, annexation wars between the princes will occur from time to time, so is this the other princes who want to annex our Jizhou? ”

Thinking of this, his subordinates felt that the matter was very important, so they did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately came to ask to see the lord, so that he could report the matter to the lord immediately, so that the lord could deal with it as soon as possible. Moreover, the subordinates have asked people to investigate whether there is any abnormality outside the city recently, and the results of the investigation really let the subordinates find some clues. ”
