Two days later, news came from outside the city that another 500-strong rebel army had returned from the army.

This time it was a soldier and horse from Sima Yi's department who discovered the rebels, if Xia Jing could recognize it here, the leader of this team was Zhu Wei, a mountain bandit who abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light.

A few days ago, Ding Dazhuang captured alive a general of the rebels, and his brothers were the envy of everyone, who had been taking refuge in the Lingnan team for half a year, and had never had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Now that I finally managed to squat down to a small detachment of the rebels, I had to take them all, and it would be perfect if there was a small leader in this team.

"Big brother, the rebels are about to enter our encirclement!" Qiu San, who was squatting next to him, reminded.

Zhu Wei looked at the situation below and whispered, "Wait a little longer, wait until they all enter the encirclement before giving the order!" ”

It wasn't until he saw that the rebels had basically entered the encirclement that Zhu Wei ordered to charge.

The soldiers were given the order and jumped out of their hiding places and rushed forward.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The shouting shook the sky, and the prestige was strong!

The rebels were panting with food on their backs or pushing food, and suddenly shouts of killing came from all sides, startling them.

Looking at the imperial soldiers and horses rushing down from all sides, whether they were war-fearing or militants, this time everyone unanimously put down their food and drew their weapons to prepare to break through.

This kind of situation can't be described as much as they can do, so they can only fight to the death and strive to break through.

It's just that what made them a little collapsed was the battle between the two armies, and they finally seized the opportunity to slash the enemy, why could they still hear a "clang" sound?

But the enemy was not injured at all, and he became more and more brave as he fought.

It's a fight for life, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, but it's too bullying.

It's amazing to have good armor, and then I found an opportunity to change the part and slashed it, but it turned out to be a "clang" again, and this time I was not as lucky as last time, and my body was also stabbed by the enemy!

The moment the rebels fell, they were unwilling to die and lost to the ordnance.

The same situation was played out everywhere on the battlefield, and after the imperial court soldiers and horses discovered this advantage, they became more and more courageous and their morale was high.

Qiu San stabbed through the body of a rebel, and when he saw him, he poured it on the food bag, "I'll go, you still want to waste food until you die!" ”

Qiu San kicked over in a hurry, kicking the corpse of the rebel to the side.

He thought it was okay, but if he poured it on the sack of grain, the bag would be contaminated with his blood.

The rebel who was kicked aside raised his hand and pointed at him and wanted to burst into a foul mouth, but a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, so that he couldn't scold even if he wanted to, and he was angry with him, isn't it good to let him pour on the grain before he dies? If you die, you can bring some food down there to eat.

Qiu San looked at the rebels who didn't know whether he was killed or angry, snorted, glanced at the battlefield, and moved to Zhu Wei's side.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Zhu Wei glanced at him, slashed and killed a rebel in front of him, and said, "Why are you running in front of me if you don't kill the enemy bravely?" ”

Qiu San paid attention to the surrounding movements, guarded against enemy attacks, and reminded: "Big brother, there are not many rebels left, you forgot Niangniang's explanation, we should release the water!" ”

"This" Zhu Wei thought it was too fast, just let the water and leave a few people to report the news, and he was a little reluctant to leave too much.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he had to listen to the queen's orders.

"Blow the trumpet!"

"Okay!"

Qiu San took out the whistle he had prepared earlier from the placket of his clothes, put it in his mouth and blew out three long and two short.

At this time, the soldiers who heard the whistle surrounded the remaining hundred or so rebels.

"Disarm or kill!"

"Disarm or kill!"

The remaining more than 100 rebels had already been abused and had long been timid, and when they heard their shouts, they didn't have to think too much, threw their weapons aside and squatted down.

Zhu Wei stepped forward, swept over the rebels squatting on the ground, and raised his hand to stop the soldiers from shouting again.

"Do you know why the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have defeated you one after another?"

The rebels all shrank back, the question was not easy to answer, and they all bowed their heads and wanted to be quails.

Seeing their cowardice, Qiu San stepped forward and kicked a rebel with a different military uniform, looking at the military robe like a small leader of the team, "It's you, I didn't hear our general's question, hurry up and answer the question seriously!" ”

Chi Zhongjun was tall and big, and he was kicked by a small deflated three, and his heart was angry, glaring at him, if it weren't for the fact that he was a soldier of the imperial court, he really wanted to step forward and give him a punch.

Qiu San was glared at by the captive, feeling that he had lost face, so he rolled up his sleeves and said: "This is not convinced, and you dare to stare at me, today I will beat you until you are convinced!" ”

It's just that before he could rush forward, the collar was picked up.

Zhu Wei carried Qiu San behind him and warned: "Go aside!" ”

Qiu San glanced at Zhu Wei aggrievedly: "Big brother."

Zhu Wei ignored him, but pointed at Chi Zhongjun and said, "You can answer my question just now." ”

Chi Zhongjun was named, and he didn't squat anymore, he stood up directly, and looked at Zhu Wei at eye level: "Look at your battle robe, it should be a guerrilla general, it just so happens that I am also a guerrilla general, although you and I are hostile to each other, but at this moment you and I belong to an equal dialogue." ”

Zhu Wei didn't care about equality or inequality, just waited for him to answer.

Chi Zhongjun saw what he meant, and he didn't hesitate, and replied: "For your question just now, I don't know what kind of answer you want to hear, I don't know if it's the right answer?" ”

Zhu Wei smiled when he heard this, "Your surname, can you report your name?" ”

Chi Zhongjun clenched his fists and said: "If you don't change your surname, you don't change your name, you can't change your name, and you can also be in Xia Chi Zhongjun!" ”

Zhu Wei nodded: "The name is good, it's just that you are in the wrong position." "Became a rebel.

As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers surrounding them and asked, "What does General Chi think of our soldiers' physique now?" ”

Chi Zhongjun looked around and bowed his head: "The physique is strong, and there is a spirit when you stand out, and you are an elite teacher!" ”

Zhu Wei laughed when he heard this: "General Chi's eyes are vicious!" ”

"The question just now, the invincibility of evil is on the one hand, and more importantly, the soldiers and horses of our court can now rely on the strength of the armor, the sharpness of the swords and guns, and the speed of the muskets, which are almost invincible and invincible in the world!"

These are also the curious places in Chi Zhongjun's heart, so he asked: "Are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court like this now?" ”

Zhu Wei looked at him with a smile: "What? Want to spy on the military? ”

Chi Zhongjun: "You like to talk about it or not!" ”

These words amused Zhu Wei again: "In addition to the excellent armament of the imperial court, there are also sufficient military salaries, grain and grass, if they are disabled or killed in battle, the imperial court will also have compensation payments, which can be said to let our soldiers have no worries, you said that under such a preferential policy, the soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, who can stop them?" ”

Zhu Wei's voice was loud, and the rebels squatting on the ground could hear it clearly, and they looked at the soldiers around them in shock, and they were indeed incomparable to them in terms of physique, could it be that the current policy of the imperial court was really so good?

Qiu San noticed their expressions and rolled up his sleeves to show off his brachialis muscles.

Zhu Wei put these in his eyes and coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, I don't look like a big traitor, today for the sake of everyone being Dayu's compatriots, we only accept food, not your life, I hope you will do it yourself in the future!" ”

The rebels who were squatting on the ground heard this, a little incredulous, and Chi Zhongjun asked everyone who was wondering: "Did the general really let us go?" ”

Don't wait for them to turn around and shoot them.

Zhu Wei raised his eyebrows and crossed his eyes, looking fierce and vicious, and after listening to Chi Zhongjun's words, his face was blank: "A manly man has no faith and does not stand, and a gentleman weighs a thousand catties, General Chi does not need to doubt my words!" ”

Chi Zhongjun listened to his words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he solemnly hugged his fist at him: "What a good one who has no faith and no stands, a promise of a thousand gold, Chi admires!" Today's grace will be reported in the future, and there will be a period after the general! ”

Zhu Wei returned the salute: "There will be a period later!" ”

Chi Zhongjun walked out of the encirclement with the remaining more than a hundred rebels, turned around and waved at Zhu Wei, then turned around and left without looking back.

Looking at the rebels who were walking away, Qiu San asked the question that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time: "Big brother, is your trick really useful?" ”

Originally, the queen mother only let them deliberately let go of some people during the battle, and did not ask them to act in this scene.

"Whether it's useful or not, we'll know later!"

Zhu Wei beckoned everyone to carry food on their backs and evacuate together.

When Xia Jing heard about this, she just smiled and said to Ye Fei: "I didn't expect our bandit leader to have such a quick wit!" ”

Ye Fei said truthfully: "The rough image is just his appearance, but in fact, he is still a bold and careful, brave and resourceful person in his heart. ”

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, then changed the topic and talked about the grain that is now in storage.

"Now the county food is sufficient, let the county government distribute food to the people again tomorrow, 30 catties for adults, 15 catties for children, let the words go out, this is the last time to distribute food, let the people take it easy, these grains are going to be eaten until the beginning of spring."

Speaking of distributing food, Ye Fei expressed his worries: "Niangniang, the distribution of food twice in a row is afraid that it will make some ruffians and hooligans in the county town ready to move, do we want to organize soldiers to clean up in the county?" ”

Xia Jing was slightly stunned when she heard Ye Feiyi, "I was negligent in this piece, you can arrange this matter!" If you find anyone who commits a crime against the wind, pull it out and cut it directly, killing chickens and monkeys! ”

Whether it is the past life or the present life, in the troubled times, Xia Jing pursues the use of heavy codes in troubled times!

There are some people you don't teach the lesson of blood, and they don't remember it for a long time.

The county government posted notices again, and there were several places at the gate of the city, the market, and the yamen.

The onlookers heard that the government had distributed food again, and they ran along the street excitedly!

Some people even took off their coats in the snow and waved them while running to vent their gratitude!

Inside the Wu family's house.

The Wu family sat together for breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, just a pot of multigrain porridge and a large bowl of pickles.

The Wu family, who used to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, now eats the food in front of them, and their faces are green.

"Big brother, it's not a problem for us to keep eating like this, even if we adults can stand it, the children can't stand it."

The second master of the Wu family noticed the children's two tables, and saw that their facial features were almost squeezed together in order to swallow it, and this scene made him feel distressed.

The eldest master of the Wu family glanced at the second brother, took a sip of porridge, and then said without being salty or light: "Who doesn't want to eat well, but now the situation does not allow us to act recklessly, if we change the food, believe it or not, in three days, the queen will bring someone to borrow food!" ”

The second master of the Wu family was a little uncertain in his heart, "No, they got a lot of food in the abandoned house a few days ago, and they are not short of food at present, why are they still staring at our family?" ”

The eldest master of the Wu family snorted in his heart: "Who in this world still thinks that there is too much food!" ”

At the next table, the old lady put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and it is impossible for the mother to stay in the county all the time, there will always be a way." ”

Listening to her words, the others were silent.

After a while, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in: "Masters, the county government has issued a notice again, saying that from today onwards, food will be distributed again, and this time there will be more food, thirty catties for adults and fifteen catties for children." ”

"Last time, adults only had five catties, why did you send so much this time?" The old lady asked in surprise.

The housekeeper told everyone the news in detail: "The notice said that this is the last time to distribute grain this year, and everyone will eat this grain until the beginning of spring, and then add wild vegetables all over the mountains, and everyone can also persist until the summer harvest and autumn harvest!" ”

The third master of the Wu family was anxious, "How can thirty catties of grain last until the summer harvest, the government will not think that the people will eat wild vegetables every day in spring, right?" ”

The eldest master of the Wu family glared at him and asked rhetorically, "Then what?" If you don't eat wild vegetables, do you still want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, shark fin and bird's nest every day? ”

The third master of the Wu family's eyes lit up when he heard this, thinking about the few taels of bird's nest that his wife had hidden, he couldn't help but suck his saliva.

I can't see it!

"Master, are we going to get food today?" The old lady asked cautiously.

"Go! What do we eat if we don't have so many people in our family? "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, how could the eldest master of the Wu family miss this opportunity to be cheap.

The eldest lady said bitterly in her heart, as the wife of the house, she is a grandmother, and when she comes, she has to beg for this family.

It is begging, and in the eyes of the Wu family, to receive relief food is to beg.

They were really scared of being looted by the rebels, and they didn't dare to show off their wealth in front of any outsiders.

I'm really afraid that the neighbors and the government around them will tear down their homes and eat them.

The most senior female dependents glanced at each other, bitter in their hearts and couldn't say it, and they didn't dare to object.

The men said that if they went to receive the relief food, they had to receive the relief food, and there was no room for them to object.

"The government won't come to check on our house again, will it?" The eldest lady was worried, and this time she went to get the food and was taken to the room for inquiry.

Remembering that the last time Niangniang came to their house to check it out, their family's luck didn't seem to be as prosperous as before.

What should they do if they meet the mother again this time?

The eldest man of the Wu family thought for a while and said: "I shouldn't meet Niangniang again, after all, she has a lot of opportunities, how can she have time to pay attention to you." ”

Even if Xia Jing saw the Wu family, she would not stop them from receiving food, and maybe she would let the officials pay more attention.

After all, these grains were supplied by the Wu family.

If the Wu family did not take refuge in any prince, they would have made some contributions to the local area.

"In that case, let's wait for breakfast and go to the yamen to line up."

The news spread, and the whole county was boiling.

Everyone cheered, and ran to the county government when they found food from home, this time it was different from last time, everyone had food to eat, although they couldn't eat enough, but at least they wouldn't be dizzy and weak from hunger.

"Mao Dan, Mao Dan, let's go, get the food!"

Passing by Mao Dan's house, the stone stood outside the courtyard gate and shouted.

"Hey, here, here!"
