Chapter 33 Soldiers approaching the city (2)

We have only been out for half an hour, how did we come up with such a formation?

Lu Li put down the curtain and retreated.

At the same time, suppress all kinds of turbulent thoughts and constantly remind yourself: Mount Tai collapses in front but remains unchanged; elk thrives on the left but cannot blink.

Next, he had to deal with the lord who didn't know what he was thinking, and also had to prepare for the upcoming war, so he had no time to be distracted.

"Brother Meng Ming, didn't you go to the city for inspection? Why did you come back so early?"

At this time, a cheerful voice came from behind, and a man wearing fish scale armor walked over.

"Song Yuhou."

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, first turned around and cupped his hands towards the visitor, and then sighed: "The people in the city are in such hardship that I can't bear to look at them."

"Alas, since the year before last, the achievements have been poor. The rich have no land to live in, and the poor have no place to stand. The people have been suffering in silence."

Song Xian was a middle-aged border man, half a head shorter than Lu Li, but his muscles were as strong as a rock. He walked quickly and said angrily, changing his friendly manner when greeting him earlier:

"The people's livelihood is so difficult, but the Xiongnu and Xiutugerhu are working together to rob the border. They are simply unworthy of human beings!"

Lu Li quite agreed with this, and his resentment in his heart was slightly reduced——

He is not a person without ambition, but the position of pioneer officer that he had dreamed of and easily obtained was gone. Even if he had nothing to do with the other party, he would still have some grudges.

"Blood debt must be paid with blood. I will definitely kill these inhumane beasts in the future."

Somehow, when Lu Li thought of the old man kneeling down and begging him, Lu Li always felt a surge of blood rushing into his heart.

Most of the dozen or so people died, and all the female relatives were captured.

Who died?

Male!

The Xiongnu knew how to eradicate the weeds, and they would definitely kill all men, young or old.

And if the female family members are kidnapped, what will happen to them?

To be a slave or a maid?

Lu Li didn't dare to think deeply about it, it was too humiliating!

Song Xian had a straightforward personality. Maybe he was used to this kind of thing, so he felt less sad and more calm. He patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

"When the time comes, you and I will kill each other and see whose weapon curls up first. How about that?"

"Don't dare to disobey."

After saying that, Lu Li took a long breath, tried to calm down his once again confused mood, and added: "I will give you one month's salary as the prize, and the loser will treat all the brothers to a drink."

"As it should be."

Song Xian licked his lips and said, "If it weren't for the strict military laws and prohibition of drinking in the camp, I would definitely treat my brother to a good drink."

After saying this, he adjusted his armor, pulled Lu Li and rushed into the Chinese army camp.

Inside the account.

Ding Yuan was still kneeling in the most conspicuous position, his expression extremely serious.

The elder brother Zhang Liao stood aside. Although he did not speak, he had a certain bearing.

Below, there were five old people with wrinkled faces sitting. In order to prevent them from getting tired, the lord also specially ordered his attendants to bring a few soft cushions over. There was no need to kneel down, and he sat cross-legged directly, just like the Bodhisattva in the Buddhist temple.

comfortable.

Sensing Lu Li's doubts, Song Xian, who was standing in the corner with him, whispered: "These should be respected village elders in Dingxiang City."

[Chinese law: Those who are over 100 years old are awarded the king's staff. Those who hold the staff are treated the same as those who hold the knot, and are compared to six hundred stone officials. They do not tend to enter the official temple, but can walk on the road to show respect for the elderly.]

After Song Xian explained, Lu Li nodded and looked forward again. To be precise, it should be the crutches held by the five elders. This thing was nine feet long, and the flying general Lu Bu he saw the day before yesterday

He is no more than eight feet tall.

Isn’t it tiring to hold this thing?

Of course, Lu Li said in his heart, without any disrespect, that this long crutch was a royal staff, and was only awarded to those with high moral standards.

There are more than 10,000 people in a county, and there are at least 2,000 elders. Only these five elders have become village elders recognized by the imperial court. Naturally, they should not be underestimated.

"Don't lead the army to fight at the border. The old man will replace Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and the people of Yanmen..."

At this time, the five old men stood up with the support of the county civil servants. At the same time, they took the wine bottles passed by others and walked up tremblingly.

Seeing this, the Lord Ding Yuan did not care about his manners, stood up hurriedly, bowed to take the wine, and said:

"How dare you trouble the elders like this!"

"When they heard that the general and the king's army had arrived, the people were all happy and excited. Since ten days ago, the barbarians invaded the border, and our county has suffered greatly. The surrounding counties and counties are even more empty, and most of the people have died, and the dead are lying on the ground."

At this time, a sharp-tongued scribe took a step forward. Judging from his appearance and conversation, Lu Li felt that this person should be the county magistrate. He poured a glass of wine and raised his voice:

"Now, Master Wang has finally arrived, and the common people are saved! This bottle of wine will wash away the general's dust. I hope the general will not refuse."

Perhaps because he often encountered this kind of thing, Ding Yuan nodded reservedly and said loudly:

"For this trip, I, the general, will lead 20,000 elite troops first. My son will lead the wolf cavalry first, and he will follow behind. He will kill thieves for the country and quell the chaos for the people!"

When he finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle with both hands and drank it in one gulp. Then, he wiped away the wine stains remaining on the corners of his mouth and beard, and said impassionedly: "At dawn tomorrow, the army will set off and march 700 miles to eliminate this evil thief for the elders of Bingzhou.

!”

After standing in the corner and watching for so long, Lu Li finally understood. This was obviously a show to gain prestige!

Flying general Lu Bu leads the wolf cavalry behind him?

If he hadn't heard his lord's tactical arrangements with his own ears, Lu Li would have almost believed it. The Wolf Cavalry clearly went to the south to help guard Taiyuan. Not only that, this group of elites was also given a death order:

Stand firm and wait for help.

Although the Yellow Turban Army cannot be underestimated, can they defeat the Wolf Cavalry who can dominate the world?

Coupled with the living demon god Lu Bu and a group of extremely fierce generals, even if the Xianbei people send troops to help, it won't be enough!

In addition, five village elders, Dingxiang County officials, and dozens of specially selected civilians came to drink pots of wine, saying they came to comfort the troops and thank the soldiers for their hard work. However, what is the use of these things?

It is to show attitude and give face to the general.

Poor governor Zhang Yi is still trapped in Yunzhong County at this time, not knowing whether he is alive or dead.

Lu Li didn't know that at this moment, he was the only one in the entire army who could think of the governor.

"kill!"

"The leader has an order. Anyone who captures Zhang Yi alive will be rewarded with two hundred dings. Ten Han slaves will be rewarded. Anyone who beheads Zhang Yi will be rewarded with 100 dings and twenty kilograms of gold."

When Ding Yuan met with the village elders, the shouts of death lingered over Yunzhong City for a long time.

To the Huns, Dingkou means everything, more important than money and women.

You know, some small tribes on the grassland don't even have a hundred people!

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Chapter completed!
