Deng Fan was stuttering, but he was not suitable for dealing with others. However, after the war, the Jiaozhou Army made great contributions. He had set up plans in front and lurked behind, and had the greatest achievements. He had to get a general from the center. Therefore, several lieutenants who were traveling with him, Sima, all said that when he returned from Chang'an, there was a division between the upper and lower levels and could not do it randomly. Therefore, he should use Deng Fan's talisman on the way to serve him diligently.

At this time, the bandits attacked, and Lei Yuan claimed that he could trust everyone, but Deng Fan did not dare to relax. He led a few colleagues to the second floor of the dock wall, took a bow and arrow, ready to assist at any time.

But he saw that the slut was commanding and responding with great rules. He first called two young postmen and asked them to ride their horses through the back door of the postmen and rushed to the Guancheng garrison. Then he took out a strong horse, equipped it with a bow and knife, went out from the main gate, and immediately drove the bow and arrows under the hillside. Then he slowly fired his bow and arrows, shooting several arrows to the heights.

Arrows may not hit the target, but they are extremely humiliating. Sure enough, the trees on the hillside swayed quickly, and gray-brown figures rushed over. They shouted loudly, holding wooden sticks or knives and axes, and the bark or animal skins covered with their bodies made rustling sounds.

The sir was not in a hurry to avoid it. He glanced for a while, finally aimed at the target and fired another arrow. The arrow hit the forehead of a defeated soldier. The thief screamed and rolled along the slope toward the depths of the mountain stream.

The husband laughed and turned around, turning around and firing two more arrows. The defeated soldiers were approaching at this time, and the people and the hedgehog gathered together. The two arrows passed and shot another person.

The defeated soldiers couldn't help but exert their might, and more than a hundred people rushed straight with their weapons waving.

The sirens urged the horse to leave and walked straight through the gate of the post office. Because they could not hold the horse, they rushed into the hall. The post officers who had been waiting on the second floor of the post office for a long time immediately stood up and shot them with arrows.

Most of the people from the local area were born, and their archery skills were ordinary. However, the defeated soldiers rushed too close. The arrows fell from top to bottom like rain. Only the sound of strings were heard. The arrows bite the flesh. Many of the defeated soldiers who rushed to the front were shot into the brain, throat, and chests, and fell to the ground immediately.

Some of the defeated soldiers behind wanted to rush, while others began to stop escaping. Nearly a hundred people rushed around and walked around, and their steps were filled with smoke and dust on the edge of the mountain road.

These defeated soldiers have been hiding in the mountains for more than half a year. In fact, they have neither the spirit nor the courage, and their desires are nothing more than to survive. They have gone down the mountain to rob, and they have no choice but to attack the villages and have no choice but to use the guarded post station. They are almost going to collapse when they are shot in such densely with arrows and rain.

But I never thought that in this defeated team, there were a few outstanding people who were able to approach the post station with iron shields and arrow rain in one breath, and climbed up to the second floor along the wooden fence on the edge.

Several of them turned over and came to Deng Fan.

Deng Fan held an arrow in his hand, but did not shoot, and only smiled at the two people next to him.

There were two people beside him, one of which was Chi Li Ningta.

Chi Li Ningta became a relative last month and married Luo Ayanning's elder sister Aman. Aman is good at cooking and accompanying her husband to eat and drink every day. Chi Li Ningta no longer works hard on the baking cakes, but becomes stronger with the naked eye. At this time, she waved her with her usual 20 kilogram thick-backed sword, just like dancing with a lamp grass.

He waved his sword twice, and one of the two defeated soldiers who jumped into the second floor was beheaded directly; the other tried hard to block the short spear, but the short spear broke, and the long sword continued to fall straight, almost splitting the entire upper body into two pieces.

A large piece of blood spilled all over the ground, and the ground suddenly slipped.

Another defeated soldier stood staggeringly. Seeing Deng Fan sneering with a crossbow, and Chi Li Ningta was more physically than ordinary people, he felt a sudden stern and immediately turned to the third person to kill him.

The third person is Luo Ayanning.

In the Jingxiang War last year, he had the ability to climb the city first, the lurking squad, and the formation to kill enemy generals. Therefore, he was not only promoted to the office, but was also summoned by Lei Yuan and headed to Chang'an together.

It’s a pity that his official career was too big, and the marriage was troublesome. Originally, only Mr. Fu helped him to hire him, but later the county dynasty and General Zuo participated in it, hoping to do the marriage grandly.

As a result, the eldest sister Aman got married first, and Luo Ayanning had to go to Chang'an first to accept the reception from the King of Hanzhong. After being promoted, he would not get married until the end of the year. So far, he has not even touched the Niu girl's hand, which really makes him depressed.

Of course, depression is one thing. Luo Ayanning is aware of it. He knew that he had fallen into General Lei's eyes and hit his fortune.

At this time, he followed Deng Fan to the second floor of the post to guard the situation and was about to catch a defeated soldier.

Before the defeated soldiers approached, Luo Ayanning had already rushed over.

When he was a teenager, he was relying on the Snake Tribe to fight against many of the top warriors of the Barbarians in the Lianshui River Basin. Later, he followed the Han army to conquer the Han army, and his skills were really extraordinary. With a little bit of his feet, he jumped up. When he fell, his toes were stepping on the knees of the defeated soldiers, and his left hand clamped the right arm of the defeated soldiers holding the knife.

The defeated soldier was still struggling, and Luo Ayanning's right elbow fell down and hit his heavenly spirit cover directly.

There was only a dull sound of "bang", and the defeated soldier shook and fell to the ground dejectedly. His body slid down the stairs. When he touched the floor on the first floor, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding, and he had long since he had lost his breath.

Chi Li Ningta and Luo Ayanning were considered to be outstanding among the tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops. Once they took action, killing people was like killing chickens. The two men on the second floor were stunned and stunned for a while before they rushed to kill the last defeated soldier.

The defeated soldier waved his sword to block it twice, and then he knew that there was no chance of being spared today. He simply threw the knife away and shouted: "It's a lucky thing to live to this day, come on!"

Everyone rushed to kill him in a row.

Lei Yuan, who was downstairs, looked at the slid downwards of the thief's corpse, then looked at the blood seeping through the floor slabs, and gave Zhao Xiang a wink.

It turned out that the body of the defeated soldier who was knocked down by Luo Ayanning slipped down, and Renault rushed over with a fierce look, drawing his sword in an attitude of hitting the enemy.

Unexpectedly, that guy was dead?

Renault thrust his sword into the corpse's chest and abdomen twice. Although it was bleeding, it was not interesting after all, his hands and feet were not moving.

"Is this Cao Bing?" Renault squatted down and looked at it, a little disappointed.

These Cao's defeated soldiers struggled in the mountains for many years, and their clothes were all turned into rags, which could be seen as scars of new and old. His hair and beard were sticking together, and his whole body was smelly, like a savage.

Renault hesitated: "Is this man very ferocious? He was beaten to death by Luo Ayanning! I guess he is not my opponent either!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xiang held Renault's neck and dragged him back: "It's all dead, what's your ability to stab him!"

Renault struggled and said, "There is a living Cao Bing outside the door. Mother, please let me see it! I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Xiang was furious: "Is bragging interesting? You can't even catch my sword!"

Then there was a crackling sound, probably Renault's head was hit again.

Lei Yuan stood beside the corpse and looked at it, called two more entourages and dragged them to the back hall.

The Jingxiang War ended for a whole year, but Lei Yuan and others walked along Wuguan Road. Before the journey had passed, they had already bumped into three groups of Cao's defeated soldiers who were trying to go down the mountain to rob.

These people refuse to go down the mountain, so there is naturally their reason.

According to the Han system, the people had to serve the government for one month every year, and the servicemen called the Gengshi. However, the number of Gengshi was limited, and it was inconvenient to mobilize them to avoid the farming period, which was very inconvenient. Therefore, in the past few years, the Jingzhou and Jiaozhou Military Prefectures introduced a large number of manpower from the Barbarian Ministry.

The manpower of the Manchu tribe is not endless, and if it is driven freely, it is easy to cause conflicts between the Han and the Manchus.

However, after the war, Jingxiang was devastated and desolate. The double damage of war and floods made the radius of hundreds of miles around Xiangyang almost empty. In this situation, if you don’t invest a huge amount of labor, you can’t think of it a little bit, let alone use it as a base for further Northern Expedition.

So, where does labor come from? Captives are the best help.

As far as Lei Yuan knew, the more than 40,000 Cao army prisoners obtained by the Jingzhou army last year, except for a small number of talented or capable warriors who were pardoned and were taken for their own use by the military government, most of them were taken as slave labor and underwent extremely arduous labor.

All kinds of projects were built, such as building roads, building city walls, repairing water conservancy facilities, dredging river channels... prisoners were doing all kinds of projects. No matter how much Duke Xuande called for benevolence, the military government was strong after all, and the prisoners' work was extremely arduous and the treatment was extremely harsh. After a year, it was roughly estimated that at least two or three thousand people died of illness.

Such a scene inevitably made the Cao army fleeing to the mountains extremely afraid of the defeated soldiers, so they became increasingly reluctant to go down the mountain. Public security within the war zone was always a big problem.

This situation will only end when the defeated soldiers in the mountains are strangled and killed again and again.

Lei Yuan remembered his experiences more than ten years ago. At that time, the situation where the defeated fugitives gathered in the mountains was no different from the current Cao army's defeated soldiers wandering among the mountains. At that time, the refugees had the Huainan Haoyou Alliance as the backbone and had relatively large-scale mountain dock walls, but some people hid in caves in the mountains, wore mattresses and ate wild millet, and survived without the situation being turned upside down, frozen to death, and starved to death in the mountains, which was the final result for everyone.

He waved to Arnold and asked the child to come over: "These Cao soldiers are too embarrassed, they are really not scary, and they don't look very difficult to deal with. Right?"

Renault broke away from Zhao Xiang's control and ran over and said, "Yes. They don't have armor and are very thin, so they shouldn't have much strength."

"These Cao soldiers, as your mother said, are all ferocious beasts covered with blood on their hands. But we won and they failed, so they could only escape and gradually fell into such a miserable situation in the deep mountains." Lei Yuan patted Arnold's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "If we lose, we will be like them, and it may even be even more miserable. Do you know that I was in Huainan back then..."

Renault knew that his father was going to start a long discussion again.
