The team continued to move forward along the official road, and the march was very fast. Around the time of Shenshi, they arrived at the destination of the trip.

Lei Yuan looked up and saw the whole picture of Lexiang County.

There are rolling mountains to the west of the county town, extending to the end of the sight, as if connected to the mountains with cliffs and towering cliffs near the village; the mountains are divided into two north and south strands several miles apart, and gradually sinking into the ravines to the east, like an extremely huge giant, spreading his arms and bringing out a gentle slope.

To the west of the slope are high mountains and ridges, and to the east are flowing rivers and continuous lakes; in the deep winter, yellow stems and grass cover the entire slope, with traces of reclamation scattered among them.

Lei Yuan estimated the scale of the slope, about six or seven miles from east to west, and slightly narrower from north to south, not much difference. Excluding cities, roads, passes and necessary open spaces, it can be opened up here. If some basic water conservancy construction is added, these fields alone will be enough to support a small-scale army.

The city is located in the northwest corner of the slope, just overlooking the entire slope. The city itself is not large in size, and the walls of rammed earth and bricks are not decent. Many places collapse in a row, and the gaps are closed with wooden fences. Through the wooden fences, you can see the overlapping houses inside.

"It seems that the locals don't welcome us very much. The team is approaching, but there is not a single one to greet us." Lei Yuan looked at the shaking figure behind the city wall and said to Liu He with a smile.

...

At the end of the gentle hills in the distance, gradually saw flying flags appear, war horses and knights running like dragons appear, spears and halberds holding like forests appear, and countless iron poles appear. The soldiers were like dark gray tides, but their actions contained a unique rhythm. The weapons they held and the armor they wore reflected the sunlight, which was a little dazzling and became colder.

A Zongshu sticks out his head and looks, and for some reason, his feet are a little weak. He hesitantly asked, "Why, let's go and greet them?"

Another Zong Shuai, who was always brave and proud, was furious: "Didn't you agree to set up a queue at the hem of the city and let the Lujiang Lei family see our strength? Why did it become a welcome? What about your face?"

He strode to the ramp entrance leading to the lower part of the city tower: "Now open the city gate and let's go out and line up!"

No one responded to him, and even the other leaders who had strong confrontational emotions last night did not speak. After witnessing the Lujiang Lei clan corps, everyone understood that in front of such an army that had truly experienced the tempering of war, what could their own scattered subordinates gathered into a brigade? The gap between beasts and jackals will be laughable at once.

The city wall was silent for a moment.

The other man said angrily: "I won't go! I'm leaving, go back to my own village, whatever you want!"

"Yes, yes, why not, let's disperse..." Several people said in a lingering manner: "Let's disperse first, look at the wind and color. After all, we have so many families, dozens of manors and villages. Can the Lei family in Lujiang still eat us?"

Only Liang Da supported the mercedes with both hands and stared at them.

He felt colder and colder. It was as if someone was pouring ice water over his head, flowing down his body, taking away all the heat from his body. It was so cold that his hands were shaking. In order to curb the shaking, he had to press the trunk with all his strength until his palms were grinding on the rough rammed earth.

He was also becoming more and more afraid. He was afraid of the approaching Lujiang Lei clan tribe, which was a team that could truly fight tough battles and could never be defeated.

He was also afraid of the stupidity of these companions behind him. These people never understood that the Lujiang Lei family would definitely implement the will of General Zuo and Duke Xuande, and would definitely clean up the thieves and generals of the clan. Any compromise or escape was meaningless. In the past years, all the actions of the Yumao village that were rampant and domineering would be taken out and liquidated one by one, making them die stink. On their corpses, the Lujiang Lei family would establish Lexiang County, which belonged to General Zuo.

Liang Da thought that he could take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Lujiang Lei family and fight to the death, then integrate the power of all the sect commanders, and then try to gain the understanding of Xuandegong.

But is this possible? Just the loose sand behind you?

Of course it is impossible, I am not stupid...what should I do?

The Lujiang Lei family is coming!

Liang Da smiled bitterly, and he turned to face the heroes and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, I have another plan."

The sect coaches continued to make noise, and someone shouted to Liang: "Sect Master Liang, please open the north gate. If you have something to do at your home, let's take a step first!"

"That won't work!" Liang Da shouted angrily.

He took a few steps forward and slowed down slightly: "Everyone, although the Lujiang Lei family is coming in a fierce manner, they don't know what their intentions and what they plan to do to us. If they disperse, they will be defeated in vain, which will be a bad idea."

"What should I do? I agreed to line up to demonstrate last night, but some people dare not!"

Liang Dalian shook his head continuously: "The army of the Lei clan in Lujiang is like this, so how can we show our power?"

"Then how are you staying? If there is no good idea, open the city gate quickly. We are leaving!" Someone shouted angrily. Seeing the Lei family's army approaching, these sect coaches became impatient and spoke more and more rudely.

"You don't have to hurry to leave." Liang Da sighed: "In a moment, I will come forward to welcome the people from Lei family. You might as well wait here. If I can have a proper talk, I will ask you to meet you and show the heroic spirit of the hometown. If Lei family has ulterior motives, I will also send someone to guide you to get out safely, and then take the initiative to show you the next step. How about it?"

"You go and welcome? Let's wait here?" asked a Zongshuai.

"That's right." Liang Da patted his chest: "I am now occupying this Lexiang County. As the host, I will naturally come forward."

The sect generals quickly exchanged their eyes and then said one after another: "Whether it is, it's good. Thank you for your hard work. Sect Master Liang. Sect Master Liang must be careful to deal with it!"

Liang Da nodded to them and walked down the city tower quickly.

Under the city tower, the knight who investigated the movements of the Lei family's troops last night was walking left and right. He was wearing leather armor and a knife around his waist, looking very majestic. This person was Liang Da's clan's brother, Liang Xi, who was responsible for leading his subordinates' families. At this moment, Liang Xi had gathered all his subordinates, equipped them with excellent weapons, and gathered below the city tower to respond.

When Liang Da found out that he was coming down from the trail, Liang Xi held the knife forward and bowed, "Brother, what are you asking?"

Liang Da's eyes were fierce and he whispered: "I will deal with everything else. You can seize the opportunity yourself. Once you take action, you must be ruthless!"

"yes!"

...

At this time, the group was already very close to the county town.

The guide raised his finger and explained to Lei Yuan: "The person stationed in this city is the refugee leader from Jiangbei County, named Liang Da. The day before yesterday, the military government had issued a notice to make him ready to welcome him. County Lord, let's go over and take a look?"

"good."

The road leading to the county town was winding, with stone slabs in some places and dirt roads in some places. The soldiers stepped into the wasteland and spread the front and walked slowly, without any rush.

When the army appeared in the valley, some people on the slope threw down their farm tools and fled wildly into the direction of the city. Some were crying while running. Perhaps because they had suffered military disasters before, they were scared out of their psychological shadows. People and figures in the city seemed to be disturbed for a while, and then they became quiet.

After a while, about a few people came out of the village gate and rushed along the road, as if they were going to greet them. When Fan Hong and Li Zhen's fully armed light cavalry approached, they were intimidated by the majesty of the cavalry and almost flashed to both sides of the road and knelt down.

Lei Yuan ignored them at all and continued to move forward.

If they don’t open the city in time, Lei Yuan will attack the city, and the result will be the same.

A team of more than a thousand people, hundreds of war horses, spears and halberds like forests, flags fluttered, and the sound of footsteps on the ground was like thunder, stirring up the rolling smoke and dust.

According to the Han system, the county magistrate was an official with a black ribbon and copper seal and 600 stones. When traveling, there could be two cavalry officials and follow several followers. Lei Yuan, the township chief, was definitely beyond the rules for this trip, but this was Lei Yuan's purpose. He wanted to use these elite troops of thousands of people to shock everyone.

In the chaotic times, the sufferings the people suffered were beyond imagination. Previously, when Cao's army went south, it took the important policy of "making food over the enemy" and all the people's savings were wiped out wherever they passed. So they had to gather beside the so-called Zongshu, surviving in groups, and fleeing south. During the process, there were frequent acts of looting and fire. These powerful Zongshu used the people to drive the people and exploit the people. Almost all of them were thieves covered in blood on their hands. As time went by, the social order could not be restored, and Zongshu became even more rebellious and bolder.

Lei Yuan would not let them go, and all these powerful clans will be eradicated; there is only one family in the entire Lexiang County.

There were still dozens of steps away from the city gate, and the light cavalry slowly rode their horses forward.

They will quickly occupy the city gate and the arrow towers on both sides, disperse all the people gathered nearby; then more cavalry will go deep into the village, divide the troops along each intersection, and quickly control all the roads. In the end, half of the infantry control the highlands outside the city, and half enter the city, blocking the granaries, arsenals, stables and other important places.

After crossing the mountain, the people in Huainan continued to drive south with tens of thousands of people. Along the way, they had captured the city and seized necessary food and fodder. So these were all very skillful operations, and Lei Yuan didn't need to give any instructions.

However, at this moment, a violent shout of chopping and slaughtering came suddenly on the gate of the army.

My own division has not yet entered the city, what happened in the city?

Lei Yuan was slightly surprised and stopped.

He immediately saw that what happened on the city tower was not a fight, but a massacre. Fully armed soldiers swarmed up from the trails at both ends of the city gate, wantonly killing everyone gathered near the city tower. Bright red blood flowers bloomed on the city tower, sprayed in the air, and splashed onto the road under the city gate.

"Liang Da! I'll fuck you..." The scolding stopped abruptly.

"Liang Da! I'll fuck your grandma! fuck your ancestor..." Another person's scolding came to an abrupt end.

While there was noise above the city gate, there were also many shouts of fighting in the city. For a moment, the entire city became chaotic, and a strong smell of blood drifted away with the wind, causing Lei Yuan's mount to sniff unhappily.

The soldiers dragged the several people who had run out to greet him before Lei Yuan's horse and asked them to kneel down.

Lei Yuan looked at them: "Who explains for me, what's going on?"

A strong man bowed deeply and almost pressed half of his face into the ground: "I am Liang Da, the leader of the clan here. Those on the city gates are all clan thieves who intend to fight against Xuande Gong and the government of the county. They gathered here today to gather people to threaten with ill intentions! I... the subordinates of the villain are all loyal to Xuande Gong. They were indignant and then fought with him!"

Lei Yuan nodded slightly.

Liu He stared at Liang Da with an incredible look on his face.
Chapter completed!
