Chapter 39: Who is the Hero (19)

Although flogging is not a criminal law in the military, the whipping that resounded in the gate today has a special significance. The whip not only governed military affairs, but also won the hearts of the people, and was regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, it was more than just a show, and then on a newly sorted out piece of land, tents rose from the ground, and wisps of cooking smoke soon wafted.

When the aroma of the meal was permeating, many people cried when they looked at the bowls of gruel with white flowers, the browned flatbreads, and the big fat meat with sparkling oil flowers.

In recent years, natural disasters have continued, cool officials and evil gentry are rampant, and the people's food and clothing have long become a dream, not to mention that now in winter, for the people outside the city of the eldest son, it is good to be able to eat a meal of wild vegetables and bran.

Just look at the fire, the fire camp pot table, the three layers inside and the three layers outside the squatting children can imagine the desire in their hearts.

But at a glance, Jiang Qi looked bitter and forgot his original meanness.

In Jiang Qi's plan, the people in front of him are just a chess piece for him. It's just that I want to use it to give Zhang Yang a salary from the bottom of the kettle, but at the moment, I look too villainous.

Of course, even if the initial idea is a bit despicable, the purpose is good, and it will be implemented in the party in the future.

Subsequently, under Jiang Qi's order, Xun Yu acted as the county guard of Shangdang, responsible for rescuing the people, and presiding over the affairs of Shangdang and preparing for Tuntian.

Although it is a little ridiculous, at the moment, Jiang Qi is only in control of Shangdang Guyuan County, so he dares to appoint a county guard, but so what, as long as the people recognize it.

Under the temptation of the grain of white flowers, coupled with the allocation of ownerless land and the exemption of three years, the people who had just received the benefits were boiling.

Needless to say, he not only helped to find his fellow villagers hiding in the mountains, but he was even more excited, so he immediately ran to the city of the eldest son to beckon the children who were soldiers to hurry home.

The reason is also very simple, the new county warden Xun Yu issued a notice that the relief food will be rationed according to the capitation, and the allocated land will also be calculated according to the population of each household.

As a result, the hearts of the people in the eldest son city immediately fluctuated, not only the defenders, but also the people in the city. When Xu Liang was in power, in order to defend the city, the grain in the city had been plundered, and now that Zhang Yang was on the throne, it was impossible for him to release grain in the face of a possible protracted war.

The eldest son of the people, who had no surplus food in the family for a long time, heard that the Jiang family's army was releasing grain in a big way, and after being dizzy from hunger, what could they think and meet.

What's more, Xihe has been a place that everyone yearns for over the years, and if Jiang Qi takes over the eldest son, I'm afraid no one will refuse.

The gloomy clouds are bleak and bleak, just like the hungry people in the city, and the soldiers on duty in the city are also full of sadness, more than two meals and one night. They are more worried about whether they will survive tomorrow than whether they will be able to eat enough.

When the Jiang family's army came to the city, they closed the city gate for many days, even if they wanted to hide it, but the news that the Jiang family's army divided their troops to attack Tunliu still spread out.

Tunliu is so important to the eldest son, just look at the map of the party at a glance, if it is lost, the eldest son will become a lonely city, and it can be said that it is a matter of time before it is lost.

"Eat! Eat! After eating, I don't know if there is a next meal...... "With the passage of time, the bad mood of the war has spread to the bottom of the eldest son city, and in the evening, when the food is served at the head of the city, an old soldier with a broken mouth will pass this anxiety around.

Also with the nagging of the old soldier, looking at the food in his hand, a soldier wearing two crotch armor and not a young man smiled bitterly: "Old man Yang! I said, did you give all the military rations to the widow at the east end of the city, and said that there was no more food, so you gave your brothers some rotten vegetable leaves, two hard broken cakes......"

"Hahaha!! It's not clear! Old man Yang, the military rations were given to your widow, did you also make the brothers feel refreshed tonight!! "The army is full of coarse people, and as soon as they hear the meat jokes, someone immediately picks up the stubble.

"Go, go, go! You are looking for a dead Fuwang, if you don't eat it, you will return it to Lao Tzu, and if others want to eat it, you will have two cakes, and now you can change your daughter-in-law in the city! Listening to the commotion, the old soldier was not shy, but only turned around and fought back with a horse spoon.

"Uh-uh, that's no wonder you look bad for a few days, and it seems that you've ruined a lot of little daughters-in-law!!" Everyone is an old acquaintance, and they are called Fuwang, and they immediately smile and color.

As soon as the words "hahaha......" came out, it naturally caused another round of cheers. It's just a pleasure in the bitterness.

"Big brother! Come on, it's yours, eat it! I've been hungry for a day......" Compared with meat jokes among adults, young people pay more attention to the temptation of food. Around the corner of the wall stack were several teenagers, one of whom was a little thin, shoving the stolen food into the napper.

Disturbed from sleep, the man moved, and slowly pushed away the blindfolded cloth towel on his head, revealing a resolute face. Although it seems that he is only the age of the weak crown, he can see that he is different from mortals.

After waking up, Banxiang Fang saw that the young man stretched heavily, squinted his eyes and said: "It's a cake mixed with bran again, the second brother will share it for everyone!" Don't be hungry for my brother......"

"Big brother! You didn't eat in the morning, aren't you hungry......" Although he coveted the food in his hand, the young man did not covet his appetite, and said with some concern.

"It's okay, when I was studying art in the mountains, it was common not to eat for a few days, so let's share it with my brothers! You are at the time of growing your body, and besides, you don't know when the war will start, you have to eat enough to have the strength......" Brother's worry, the young man smiled, but pushed his hand.

"Cousin! The two tricks you handed in today are really useful.,Just tried it with Lin Zi and the dog baby.,One shot overturned them.,When will you hand us two tricks again?? The two brothers were talking, and a strong black boy who didn't know what to do came over while nibbling on a cake.

Hearing the interjection, the young man turned his head and smiled, elbowed his elbow at the person with a proud face, and said: "On the battlefield, simple moves are the most important, the fifth child is naturally stronger, the number of swords and axes handed over to you by your brother, as long as you are proficient, ordinary people will not be your opponents at all, it is enough to fight, and learning art is not an overnight thing." Don't be greedy! ”

"That's it! Those who listen to the elder brother, the younger brother will definitely practice diligently and live up to the elder brother's teachings. Fortunately, there is a brother here now, otherwise we can be involved, everyone says that the Jiang family's army is invincible, and they are all talking about what to do if they attack the city. Now I'm not afraid, with my brother here, a few of us will definitely be able to go back alive!! Although it was a pity that he could not learn exquisite martial arts, for the country boy, he would not suffer from gains and losses, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Yes, eldest brother, the younger brother looked at the city that day, and he had only heard of the name of the Jiang family army before, and he didn't feel anything. But when I looked at it that day, I realized why the Huns they were able to fight fled in all directions. Not to mention the battle array, the armor on the body, compared with others, we can't talk about armor at all when we wear cloth armor......" As soon as he mentioned the person who was most concerned at the moment, a thin boy came over.

"Big brother, are you saying that we can win a battle?? Listening to the old man in the pavilion, last night there were two fathers and sons in the north of the river next door, secretly trying to escape over the city wall, but they were discovered by the night patrol team, thinking that the enemy army was stealing the city and shooting them directly to death! Big brother, do you think the Jiang family army will really come to steal the city, we will be on duty at the head of the city tonight. It's okay not to mention it, listen to Jiang Jiajun again, and a wooden kid came out of him and said nervously.

They are all boys who have never seen the world, one person is talking about it in a mess, and they don't care about the consequences, but they know the severity of the teenager, but they can't let it go, and they immediately say to serious words: "Linzi! Just listen to it, don't follow those treacherous people in the pavilion to talk nonsense, you are honest, if you have the heart of the army, if the general above investigates, maybe people will frame your head. The three of you all grew up with our brothers since childhood, and this time you were unfortunately caught by You, life and death are unpredictable, don't make any more extraneous branches. If there is a war, follow me, and I will take care of you. ”

"Don't worry, cousin! We've listened to you since we were kids, and we won't cause trouble. But as soon as he said wandering, Lao Tzu was angry, and he was a bastard, bullying the weak in the township, and now he has arrested all the men in the pavilion, so as to mix up the army, I really can't get used to him carrying a sword to show off his might! For the boy's request, the few people around nodded yes, and the strong boy who had just called the fifth brother replied.

"Yes! Originally, the elder brother could easily escape with his own ability, but if the younger brother hadn't been caught, the elder brother wouldn't be here. When it came to how to put on armor, the first kid immediately said with some shame.

"Don't say that, my Long family is left with you and my two brothers, I swore in front of my parents' grave that day that my brother will take care of you, and don't say anything about it. What's more, I have been studying hard for many years, and if I want to get out, who can stop me, and I am not simply arrested for my brother to follow here. Seeing his brother's apology, the young man patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't think so, not only comforting, but also smiling mysteriously.

"What do you mean, brother??" Hearing that the brother seemed to have something to say, the brother who was called Si'er scratched his head in confusion.

"If there is chaos everywhere today, it is the time to make a name for yourself, and now this war is the ladder for my brother's promotion! Jiang Qi is a general, an enemy of all people, there is no undefeated battle, and my brother really wants to see if he is really that powerful! "There are no outsiders here, all of them are teenagers who don't have much scheming, the young man got up and said with a little expectation.

"Brother is trying to capture the enemy general? Hahaha! That brother must have no problem, the younger brother has seen his brother practice guns, and he is invincible in the world with a spear, and he will definitely be able to win. If we succeed, we will definitely be favored by General Zhang, and then we will no longer have to eat bran vegetables. Unexpectedly, my brother still had such great ambitions in his heart, and Si'er immediately praised it.

"Don't worry, when you were at home, my brother said that I would let you live a good life. The day will not be too far away......" Looking at his brother's adoring eyes, the young man suddenly said with pride. even shouted in his heart that their Long family had been in decline for too long, and he would work with his brother Long Si to revive the family's reputation.

"Cousin?? Something seems to have happened over there?? ”

"Old Five, go take a look......" Unfortunately, before Long Yan could finish reminiscing about his ancestors, a sudden ripple at the head of the city interrupted his thinking. Out of curiosity, he called out with some uneasiness.

The fifth child who went to check the situation, although he was a teenager, was relatively strong, and he quickly squeezed to the front. Soon after, in surprise, he hurried back again.

"What happened?" Listening to the noise from afar, when he saw his cousin who came back in a panic, Long Yan lost his calmness and said hurriedly.

"It was said that the spy who came from Huguan to report the news, covered in blood and with arrow feathers stuck in his back, had been carried into the city...... I heard that Huguan and Tunliu were all lost......"
