Volume 3: The Flames of War 478 Chapter 478 Civil-Military Conflict

The battle of Ningbao Town, although the scale was not large, but it showed the combat power of the Immortal Bird Legion, and this battle left a deep impression in the hearts of the generals of the Black Cross Legion, and it can even be said to be shocking.

Although there have been a lot of rumors about Hu Wei in the past, this time, almost at home, I saw the horror of Hu Wei's troops. Although this battle did not cause a large number of troops of the Black Cross to surrender, it laid a good foundation for the future subjugation of the Black Cross.

In the study, Hu Wei was thinking about the plan for the next part. The unexpected war in Ningbaozhen allowed him to gain a lot of initiative, and now he has two choices, one is to wait for the follow-up troops to come up, take advantage of the aftermath of victory, continue to march forward, further suppress Gulit's territory, and gain more control over Huā Hezhou. The second is to consolidate the areas already occupied as originally planned, and to begin to exploit the coal resources in these areas for the needs of the arsenal to manufacture weapons.

Both kinds of development are very powerful for Hu Wei. Territory and weapons are a powerful standard of an army, and it is not so forbearant to take whoever is willing to give it up. However, Hu Wei has not yet gone crazy to the point of two at the same time, he knows that with his current strength, he can only do one of them.

"Report!"

Just when Hu was worried about the trade-off, a soldier outside Mén asked to see him.

"Come in!" Hu Wei called the soldier in, looked at the dirt all over his body, and knew in his heart that the soldier had come after a long journey.

Hu Wei asked, "Where are you from?"

The soldier replied: "Young Marshal, the Xiǎo people are from Shahuang. ”

When Hu Wei heard this, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that something happened to Shahuang?"

"Yes, young marshal, there has been a civil uprising in Shahuang. General Lippi killed!"

"What?" Hu Youqiang resisted the urge to slap the table, took a deep breath, and said, "What happened, you give me a 1510 explanation." ”

Through the soldier's speech, Hu Wei knew the general course of the whole incident. The source of this matter has to start with Xu Yinhui's false accusation of sending people to the Immortal Bird Legion.

Xu Yinhui stole the spirit of the golden phoenix out of Hu worry, sprinkled a lot of money, and instigated discord between the army and the people in Shahuang. This incident was seen by Hu Wei with his own eyes, and in this regard, he also made a special instruction to Li Pi, not to act rashly, but to deal with it with his heart.

However, Hu Wei underestimated the strength of the people and the strength of the soldiers. After he left Shahuang, many victimized civilians ran to the Shahuang military camp and demanded that the lawless soldiers be severely punished in order to return justice to the people.

Sha Huang commanded Li Pi, it was okay to fight, and he had no experience in dealing with this kind of civil issue, and he misunderstood Hu Wei's instructions. Hu Wei asked him to deal with it, but he didn't know what to do, so he simply didn't deal with it, and the people avoided it.

The people watched the quarrel for a long time, but no one paid attention to it, so they decided that the military was a thief and did not dare to come out to meet them. In addition, the people who had already taken Xu Yinhui's money were secretly evil, stirring up everyone's feelings, and finally escalating the protests.

From the beginning, the people used their body language to provoke the soldiers. They even threw stones and homemade Molotov cocktails into the barracks. After the incident in which two soldiers were burned to death by Molotov cocktails, the soldiers finally couldn't help it and fought back against the population.

The soldiers all went up with fire, at first they only used their hands, and then they couldn't restrain themselves and moved their pistols. Veterans all have a special xìng, that is, they see blood and red eyes. This hit caused a big incident, and more than 100 people who came to make trouble were hacked to death on the spot.

The people of Shahuang were already dissatisfied with the entry of the Immortal Bird Legion, and more than 100 people died this time, and they quit and immediately began to recruit people to retaliate. One by one, one by one, one by one, the East Village and the West Village are not ambiguous, and tens of thousands of people have gathered in half a day.

Shahuang itself is just a bazaar, with little strategic value, and all the garrisons there add up to only a thousand people. Thousands of people confronted 10,000 people, and it was obvious that they would suffer losses.

At this time, Li Pi finally made another mistake, he naively wanted to negotiate with the angry people with the strength of one person, and the result can be imagined, directly let the family give Nòng death.

Immediately after that, the military and civilian sides were fighting another big hún battle. The soldiers of the Immortal Bird Legion, after all, were tempered from the flames of war, although they faced nearly 10,000 people, they did not suffer much loss, and after losing dozens of people, they broke out of the encirclement and temporarily withdrew from Shahuang. ,

Li Pi's lieutenant knew that the matter was big this time, and hurriedly sent someone to report Hu Wei, this is what happened in the past.

After listening to the soldier's report and asking some questions in detail, Hu Wei asked the soldier to go down to rest, and then fell into deep thought.

He had seen the civil rebellion, but it was the first time he had encountered a civil rebellion against the Immortal Bird Legion. Hu Wei has always been extremely strict in governing the army, strictly prohibiting soldiers from having any physical conflicts with the people, and it is to prevent such incidents from happening. Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened.

There are various reasons why things have developed to such a point, but the key point is that it is still developing too fast, the territory is occupied, and many soft foundations have not been laid. It seems that it is not advisable to move forward. You have to take this as a warning, and move it to occupy a territory, which is the right way!

The matter of Shahuang must be solved as much as possible, and Hu Wei must be solved in person. The matter of the people's change is definitely not a xiǎo thing. Once left unchecked, the consequences are unimaginable.

That night, Hu Wei rushed to Shahuangji, and Huang Jinfeng's body had not fully recovered, so he could only stay in Huangfu for the time being, and Huang Shengyi would take care of him. The troops who protected Huang Jinfeng's return before, after the first battle, there are still more than 600 people and dozens of wounded, and Hu Wei also stayed. In addition, Hu Wei also left Huang Yàn Yang, this xiǎo son is not very capable, but tǐng has a bit of luck, Hu Wei hopes to use his luck to protect the Huang Mansion. Now he is already a little anxious, and there can be no more accidents on the side of the Huang Mansion.

Hurrying all the way, Hu Wei finally arrived at Shahuang. Shahuang's troops had temporarily left Shahuangji at this time and set up camp tents ten miles away from Shahuang. Because of the urgency of breaking through, the soldiers were in a hurry to pack up the food tents and everything, and the money was always there, but because of the tense relationship with the people, they couldn't even buy food, and when Hu Wei came, they were actually cooking wild vegetables.

Seeing this scene, Hu Wei realized the importance of the people's hearts. I secretly decided that even if I occupied less land in the future, I must do a good job in relationship with the people. Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

Li Pi's lieutenant is named Li Liang, and he is Li Pi's distant cousin. Seeing Hu Wei, this xiǎo general, who was not yet twenty years old, was so aggrieved that he was about to cry. The soldiers on the hillside, seeing Hu Wei coming, were also silent, and their morale was very low.

Hu Wei understood Li Liang's mood, not only did not scold him, but patted him on the shoulder, comforted him a few words, and expressed condolences for Li Pi's death.

After a brief reassurance, Hu Wei immediately convened a military meeting to discuss a solution to the Shahuangji mob.

"Li Liang, now tell me about the current situation in Shahuang!"

Li Liangneng made the decision to retreat on the spot in the sudden luàn game, and brought all the soldiers out, which has already demonstrated his talent, and Hu Wei still likes him.

Li Liang suppressed the pain of losing his relatives and reported to Hu Wei: "Tell the young marshal, now that Shahuangji has organized a militia group, it seems that he wants to confront our army." ”

"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded and asked his officer, "Tell me what you think." ”

One of the generals was the first to say angrily: "I'm afraid of what happened to them." According to me, let's just transfer troops and destroy them. I still don't believe that a xiǎoxiǎo sand and yellow set can still be reversed!"

"Yes, that's how I see it too. ”

The generals were talking. The people who agreed to send troops to Shahuang Town actually accounted for more than half.

Regardless of being provoked, even the head of the head was nòng to death, and now he is driven out by others, and he has to eat wild vegetables, which heart, not nest a fire. Since the establishment of the Immortal Bird Legion, nothing like this has ever happened, and if this thing is going to get out, their part, from top to bottom, will all have to make people laugh to death.

Li Liang strongly objected: "Young marshal, you can't fight." The enemies of the army are not the common people, and if they start fighting, the consequences will be unimaginable! I have already checked, and their head is a man named Tang Shui. He has a certain prestige among the people, and if he can be convinced, he believes that a good solution can be obtained in this matter. ”

Hu Wei glanced at Li Liang approvingly, nodded and said, "Vice General Li is right. The enemies of our Immortal Bird Legion are not ordinary people. This incident was provoked by a small number of people with ulterior motives. As soon as we start a war against the common people, we will fall into the trap of others. This matter can only be resolved by peaceful means, and absolutely no force can be used!"

On this night, Hu Wei, like ordinary soldiers, spent the night on the hillside with a bonfire, and the next morning, Hu Wei took Li Liang and dressed up as ordinary people to go to Shahuangji. ,

Shahuangji is a bazaar, connected on all sides, although there are spontaneous people, looking at the intersections, but with the ability to worry about it, it is a matter of easy to get in.

"Young Master, why are we here?" asked Li Liang puzzled. He didn't quite understand why Hu Wei didn't go anywhere as soon as he entered Shahuang, so he came directly to this inconspicuous xiǎo tea shop.

Of course, Hu Wei would not sue Li Liang, he had already seen Tang Shui before, and knew that Tang Shui had been chasing the nv of the tea boss here.

Hu Wei smiled: "You'll know in a while." Why, if you're hungry, let's order something to eat first. The wild vegetables are really not top-notch. ”

Today's business in the tea shop is good, and at this time, seventy percent of the people are seated, and the tea people in the shop, without exception, are all talking about the conflict between the people and the Immortal Bird Legion.

Hu Wei drank tea while listening to the chatter of the chatter, and Shun learned more about the public opinion here. The guests chatting here are not all against the Immortal Bird Legion, some are saying good things about the Legion, and some are even analyzing the cause of this incident. There are really people who guess that ** is not far from ten.

"It seems that the people here are also a little reasonable. After listening for a while, Hu Wei nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Liang.

Li Liang agreed: "The people's eyes are also bright, they know what is good and what is not. ”

"You're right, you went to school. ”

"Well, when I was at home, I studied with a teacher for a few years. ”

"You are still young, ask well, and have a lot of future in the future!"

Hu Wei put the last bun on the table, put it in his mouth, and called out vaguely: "xiǎo two, xiǎo two!"

xiǎohuā also came to the store today to help, and when he heard Hu Wei's call, he immediately ran over and asked sweetly, "Guest officer, what are your orders?"

Hu Wei said: "Girl, your buns here are really good, are they stuffed with pigs?" As soon as he heard the name Tang Shui yesterday, Hu Wei thought of starting from xiǎohuā.

xiǎohuā said with a smile: "The guest officer is really good at eating, yes, the buns we have here are indeed stuffed with pig ròu." And it's a good pig ròu!"

Hu Wei pointed at Li Liang and said with a smile: "I said that the taste is so good, it must be pig's, but fortunately, it is not for me to fight." Now you're convinced. Girl, bring me twenty more. ”

"Twenty?" Xiǎohuā was a little stunned. This ròu stuffed bun is the signature dim sum of their xiǎo tea shop, which is so big that ordinary people are already very full when they have two, and no matter how big the appetite is, they can only eat four. She remembered that there were already six before this table, and if she wanted another twenty, how could she eat it.

"What, did you buy it?" Hu Wei looked disappointed.

"Ah, no, no. Xiǎohuā shook again and again: "I just wonder how the guest officer could ask for so much at one time." ”

"Hehehe, I see. Hu Wei looked at Xiǎohuā and said with a smile: "I don't want to eat all here, you see my belly, I can't hold so much." I'm going to take it with me on the road. ”

"Oh. Xiǎohuā looked relieved, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "But guest officer, this pork ròu stuffed bun has to be eaten hot, otherwise it will have diarrhea." Are you sure you want twenty?"

"That's ......" Hu Wei turned his head and asked Li Liangdao, "How far do we have to go to find your cousin Tang Shui?"

Li Liang suddenly heard Hu Wei's question, and was slightly stunned, but fortunately, his reaction was very fast, and he reacted immediately, and cooperated: "I don't know, I only know that it is approaching Shahuang, where is it, my father didn't say it, it seems that there is something to find." ”

Hu Wei gave Li Liang a well-answered look, turned his head to xiǎohuā and said, "Girl, look, we can't find anyone accurately, and I, I like your buns very much, please think of a way." ”

The dialogue between Hu Wei and Li Liang is completely for xiǎohuā, and whether it can be useful or not depends on how xiǎohuā reacts next.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard just now that the person the guest officer is looking for is named Tang Shui?"

Hu Wei secretly screamed in his heart, and said silently on the surface: "Yes." Oh, by the way, look at my stupid brain. The girl opened the shop, so she naturally knew a lot of people, and I don't know if the girl knew Tang Shui. We have a very urgent matter to look for him, and we have been looking for it for two days, but we have not found it. ”

xiǎohuā is a kind person, how do you know that Hu Wei is lying to him, and when he heard this, he replied: "I know a person named Tang Shui, but I don't know if it's the person you are looking for." ”

Hu Wei hurriedly turned his head to Li Liang and said, "Why don't you tell the girl what your cousin looks like." ”,

Li conscience said, cousin, I just died, how can I have any cousin!

Li Liang and Ben hadn't seen Tang Shui, and they didn't see him have a way, so they only heard him answer: "Oh, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and I don't know exactly what he looks like." All I know is that he is twenty years old today and works in a calligraphy and painting shop!"

Xiǎohuā naturally knew that Tang Shui used to work in a calligraphy and painting shop, with the same name and surname, and the same age and work, so she naturally felt that Tang Shui, who was talking about Hu Wei, was the same person she knew.

Although she has never agreed to Tang Shui's pursuit, Tang Shui often helps her, and Tang Shui is always the first to arrive when there is something in the store. Xiǎohuā still has a good feeling for Tang Shui, these two people are related to Tang Shui, of course she can't ignore it.

xiǎohuā replied, "I think the Tang Shui you are talking about should be the same person I know. ”

Hu Wei said happily: "Really, that's great, trouble the girl sue us, where can we find him?"

Xiǎohuā frowned and said, "The place where he lives is not very far from here, but I don't know that he is not at home at this time." I don't think it's better to do this, I'll let my brother Xiǎo go and help you spread a word, call him here, and let you meet. ”

Hu Wei was turning his brain, how to find a way to get xiǎohuā to help find Tang Shui, xiǎohuā himself mentioned it, then it would be much easier. He nodded in agreement.

Seeing that xiǎohuā asked xiǎo's brother to help call people, Hu Wei used huā to trick xiǎohuā into borrowing a wing room in the backyard, and this layout was completed. Just wait for Tang Shui to appear, and then you can move on to the next step.

Li Liang briefly checked all the places, returned to Hu Wei's side, and asked strangely: "Young marshal, how do you know that this xiǎohuā girl knows that Tang Shui." I don't think there's any mention of that in the information I got. ”

Hu Wei smiled incomprehensibly: "There are still a lot of things you don't know, learn slowly." Get ready, I'll look at that Tang Shui, it will be here soon. ”

Li Liang said worriedly: "What if Tang Shui knows that he doesn't have a cousin like me and doesn't come?"

Hu Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't say it's a relative like my cousin who I don't know if I have or not, even if you say that you are his long-dead father, he will come, and it will come faster!"

Tang Shui heard that a cousin he hadn't seen for more than ten years came to look for him, and he was really puzzled, but he couldn't help but take a look at Xiǎohuā's shop.

How else to say that the rookie has no experience, he has now been pushed to the head of the people, but he has no sense of self-protection at all, and he came to the tea shop without bringing anyone.

"Tang Shui Gongzi, we finally meet!"
