As the sky lit up, the night faded.

"Driving !!"

Mountain trails. Zhao Mancheng led the few remaining soldiers and headed east. Zhao Mancheng looked up at the east, not happy but worried.

It's dawn.

The soldiers of Wu Nian's army can go out unscrupulously to hunt them down. Moreover, the people in the villages and towns in Guangyang Mansion may be the eyes and ears of Wu Nian.

Day is far more dangerous than night.

Zhao Mancheng frowned suddenly, in order to escape for his life last night, he didn't have time to treat the wound, and now the wound is in pain from time to time.

If you don't treat your wounds, I'm afraid that even if you don't get killed by Wu Nian, you will die from the wounds. Immediately, Zhao Mancheng felt his stomach tighten again, followed by a colic, but it quickly eased.

Hungry.

The hungry person was not only Zhao Mancheng, but also all the pro-soldiers present. All of them were pale, their lips were chapped, and their bodies were shaky.

"Look, General, it's cooking smoke." Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the hill on the right and made a sound of surprise.

Zhao Mancheng looked up, and sure enough, he saw the cooking smoke, and he also showed joy, and said, "Quick." Mountain. ”

"Yes."

The pro-soldiers shouted yes. Surrounded by Zhao Mancheng, he walked along the path up the mountain and arrived at a village. Houses are scattered like stars in the mountains.

The smoke curls from every house, and the aroma of rice pours into the nostrils of Zhao Mancheng and others, making their intestines sound incessantly.

"There were no injuries. went and robbed the rice of each family, slaughtered the chickens and dogs and cooked them. ”

"The wounded began to deal with the wounds."

"Also. The two armies are fighting, each with its own master, and casualties are inevitable. But the people are innocent, do not harm them. Violators will be killed. ”

Zhao Mancheng's eyes were calm, and he glanced at his own soldiers, and his tone was very stern.

"Yes." Every soldier who came into contact with Zhao Mancheng's gaze was trembling and shouted loudly. But they didn't intend to hurt the people here.

Zhao Mancheng's army was strictly disciplined, and the army was not allowed to disturb the people, whether in China or in Liaodong.

Although the pro-soldiers did not intend to hurt anyone, they were covered in blood and their armor was broken, and at a glance they knew that they were defeated.

They snatched rice and slaughtered chickens and dogs like wolves, which immediately caused panic among the people in the village.

Despite the large number of pro-soldiers, some villagers still fled. The soldiers came back to report to Zhao Mancheng, but Zhao Mancheng didn't care much about it.

Anyway, sooner or later, it will be exposed.

He first asked his soldiers to treat his wounds, and then began to eat.

The slaughtered chickens and dogs are not yet cooked. The villagers' breakfast is ordinary.

Zhao Mancheng first ate a little rice and pickles to pad his stomach, and while waiting for the chickens and dogs to be cooked, he asked people to personally bring the people with status in the village to him.

An old man, two strong middle-aged people.

The old man looked at Zhao Mancheng with an angry face, one of the two middle-aged men lowered his head timidly, and the other also stared at Zhao Mancheng.

"You need not be afraid, nor be angry. I was gone quickly. Zhao Mancheng looked at their expressions thoughtfully, and then beckoned to one of his own soldiers.

The soldiers immediately took out a black cotton bag and handed it to Zhao Mancheng. Zhao Mancheng threw the bag on the ground and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." Here's some gold, and it's my apology. ”

"Still. Before leaving. I want to ask you a question. ”

The cowardly middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he looked down at the bag containing the gold, revealing a greedy look. Another middle-aged man, the old man, was unmoved, still staring at Zhao Mancheng.

The old man sneered, "You don't have to bother with your tongue. We are all ordinary mountain people, and we don't know what military situation is. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. ”

"That's right. Even if we know something, we won't tell you. Another middle-aged man said with his head held high.

Zhao Mancheng's pro-soldiers around him all showed angry faces, and our general was polite, what kind of attitude do you have.

There are a few pro-soldiers, and the steel knife is half out of the sheath, showing a murderous aura.

The timid middle-aged man lowered his head and trembled. The other two were fearless.

Zhao Mancheng raised his hand and waved his hand towards his own soldiers. Then he looked at the two of them deeply and sighed, "I didn't want to ask about any military information. I just want to ask, why do you support Wu Nian so much? ”

"This Guangyang Mansion. It was ruled by the Mengyuan people for nearly ten years. Wu Nian has just occupied. Why are you so supportive of him? ”

At the beginning of the war, the people of Quang Duong Province had already begun to support Wu Nian. The Mengyuan people、They only control the city、The main road。 This mountain village and the people in the village are very supportive of Wu Nian.

When they withdrew their troops, these people acted as the eyes and ears of Wu Nian. Wu Nianjun was able to kill their spies cleanly.

Why?

Zhao Mancheng was very puzzled and wanted to find the answer from the mouths of these ordinary people.

"Expelle the Tartars and recover Liaodong." The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and then replied without thinking, his eyebrows brightened.

"That's right. It has been proven. The general will definitely be able to recover Liaodong. ”

"Although the Meng Yuan people ruled Guangyang Mansion for ten years, they were more tolerant of us. But a barbarian is a barbarian. Liaodong plague, the former slaughter of the city. How can this sum of blood debts be written off? ”

The general said. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. The man and the thief do not stand apart. ”

It's crude, but it's all big and catchy. If you go to any village and ask, the children will know these words. ”

"This is not my race, of course, including you Goguryeo." The old man sneered, and also raised his head and said.

Zhao Mancheng's face changed slightly, and after bowing his head and muttering for a long time, he sighed and said, "The Queen Mother is greedy for the land of Liaodong Erfu and promised to send troops. ”

"But even if you really get your hands on the land of Erfu, you will only get the land, not the people."

"Without the support of the people, the land in hand. It's just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. ”

"This time it was a complete mistake to send troops."

"Men and thieves are not at odds. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Good. Okay, yes. ”

Wu Nian.

It's Wu Nian.

It took nearly ten years for Wu Nian to start with 300 elite soldiers and swept the four prefectures of Liaodong. There is not a year in which there is no war. Not once was the defeat thrown.

The army is reckless, but it cares for the people. Survived.

This decade. How many people listened to the legend of Wu Nian and gradually grew up.

There is also such a thing as drought in eastern Liaoning.

Wu Nian injected spirit and backbone into the Han people in Liaodong. Ten years ago, when the Mengyuan invaded, the insensitive and scattered Han people of Liaodong became steel.

This kind of spirit, if this backbone is always there. Not to mention them and the Mengyuan people, even if it is a thousand years, ten thousand years.

Others also do not want to rule the Han people in Liaodong.

Unless it is.

Kill all the Han people in this land, and kill them.

They sent troops this time, and it was really ridiculously wrong.
