"This, this is 'Cao Cao' Luo Rucai? Doesn't he feel so vicious?"
"I thought he had three heads and six arms? I didn't expect this guy to be so rich! What a sin!"
"…………"
Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Especially civil servants such as Fang Kongmei and Wang Aoyong, who had suffered a lot from Luo Rucai. At this time, seeing their enemies beheading them, they were all in a good mood!
Zuo Liangyu was also thoughtful at the side. He did not expect that Luo Rucai, who had been fighting fiercely with him for many years, would be defeated by Liu Ruyi in one battle!
This, this made him unable to accept it for a moment! A trace of sadness arose in his heart!
However, at this time, what no one noticed was that Meng Ruhu was staring directly at Luo Rucai's head, with tears in his eyes!
"My son! You, your soul in heaven can rest in peace! Luo Rucai is dead, and the next one will be the thief who was cut into pieces with a thousand swords!" Meng Ruhu suddenly burst into tears and burst into tears!
Just a few months ago, before Liu Ruyi arrived in Huguang, his biological sons and two brothers were killed in a battle with the Xian thieves. He suffered heavy losses. Until now, he has not been able to catch his breath!
Everyone was attracted by the tiger's cry, but they did not speak. Everyone knew that the tiger was in a bad mood, and no one wanted to touch his brow.
Yang Sichang hurriedly comforted him: "You don't have to worry so much, Commander-in-Chief! Luo Rucai has surrendered, which is great news for us! Now that we know Xian Thief's arm, Xian Thief must not be feeling well now! Such a good opportunity
, it’s time for our army to move out! As long as we and other imperial commanders work together, we will definitely be able to kill the traitors in Huguang!"
Fierce as a tiger, he wiped away his tears and knelt down in front of Yang Sichang, "What Mr. Ge said is absolutely true! That Zhendong General Liu Ruyi is really a role model for our generation! The last general is not talented, but I am willing to be a pioneer for Mr. Ge!"
Yang Sichang couldn't help laughing. What he was waiting for was the words "fierce as a tiger", "He is so handsome and wise! Please get up quickly. This time, we will definitely seize this God-given opportunity!"
Yang Sichang stretched out his hand to lift up Mengruhu, but his eyes looked at Zuo Liangyu who was standing aside.
Zuo Liangyu cursed secretly in his heart, but had no choice but to stand up and said: "General, I am willing to listen to Mr. Ge's orders!"
At this point, Luo Rucai was defeated, which meant that he had lost his arm to the thief. The strength comparison between the officers and soldiers and the thief had changed instantly. If he didn't take action at this time, he, Zuo Liangyu, might not even be able to drink the soup.
One bite!
Especially Liu Ruyi!
Zuo Liangyu had an inexplicable crisis in his heart!
Yang Sichang did not expect that Zuo Liangyu would agree so happily this time, and he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Okay, okay! In that case, we will send troops tomorrow to attack Jingxi directly! I will personally supervise the formation. This time, I can't say anything.
The twelfth lunar month is about to enter. Although Xiangyouping is located in the hinterland of the mountains, it is also unbearably cold!
Fortunately, there are many trees in the mountains nearby. Liu Ruyi ordered the soldiers to cut down a large number of trees and grass and make fires to keep warm!
On the side of Huolang and Chunwa, because Luo Rucai's defeat was very secretive, Xingshan County had not received the news at all. When the two thousand troops of the two men entered, the old and weak women and children, wives, daughters and family members of Luo Rucai's command had no trace at all.
Be on guard, it can be said that you will be caught in one fell swoop!
At present, nearly 10,000 Luo Rucai's family members, wives and children have also been brought to Xiangyouping and imprisoned in the previous camp.
And this time, countless amounts of silver, grain, and materials were seized in Xingshan County, almost all of Luo Rucai's family fortune!
In the big tent, the charcoal fire crackled and was as warm as spring.
A dozen literate soldiers were urgently counting various supplies.
Liu Ruyi was holding a pot of hot wine, smiling and chatting with the chieftain Babu next to him.
In the past few days, Babu and the chieftains' gold had basically been in place. Liu Ruyi kept his promise and released the chieftains one by one, but Babu was left behind.
Seeing Luo Rucai's family property fall into Liu Ruyi's hands for nothing, Babu's heart was bleeding!
However, thinking of the ten thousand taels of gold in exchange for his freedom, Babu felt much more balanced!
After all, Luo Rucai's family has great achievements, but only in exchange for his death, and he, at least, has kept his head and position! As for gold, as long as people are still there, you can still make more money!
"Come on, brother Babu, this is our Shandong specialty wine, called Shaodaozi! Come on, take a sip, is it enough?" Liu Ruyi smiled and poured a glass of wine for Babu, gesturing for him to taste it.
Babu couldn't help but curse in his heart: 'Fuck, I spent more than ten thousand taels of gold, and you, you used such a pot of broken wine to fool me! This, this is really unreasonable!'
However, now that the matter has come to this point, he is a slave to others and he is a fish, so how can he dare to say "no" to Liu Ruyi?
Babu quickly picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and praised: "This wine is really good! Only you, the general, are qualified to enjoy this wine!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and said nothing. This chieftain had a lively mind and a lot of thoughts. Such a person was his most suitable target.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Brother Babu, I like to make friends the most! These days, you must have learned about my temperament! How about it?"
Brother Babu, are you willing to be my friend?"
Liu Ruyi smiled and looked into Babu's eyes.
Babu was startled and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "General, you are like the sun in the sky! I blame Tanbu and am willing to surrender to the general's feet forever!"
Liu Ruyi laughed loudly, waved her hand and said: "Babu, my brother, come with me!"
Babu was startled, but he followed Liu Ruyi obediently!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a while, the two of them arrived outside another big tent!
However, this large tent is several times larger than Liu Ruyi's main tent, and it is guarded by dozens of elite soldiers. It can be said that it is heavily guarded!
Babu couldn't help but be shocked, 'This, what kind of place is this? Could it be...'
Liu Ruyi seemed to see through Babu's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Brother Babu, for my enemies, I will chop off their heads without hesitation! But for my friends, I
But I can give them the most wonderful gift in the world! Come with me!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he walked into the big tent first.
Babu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Liu Ruyi into the tent.
~~~~~~~~~~~
But as soon as he walked into the big tent, Babu was completely dazzled, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say a word!
I saw that all around the big tent, there were densely packed gold bars, arranged neatly one by one, making the whole tent look like a palace made of gold bars!
But this was not the most shocking thing, because Babu saw that in the center of the big tent, there were more than a dozen huge braziers, and around the braziers, countless young women were huddled!
All of them are young and beautiful, and most of them are naked. Their white bodies can almost blind Babu!
"Haha! If you like these women, Brother Babu, you can pick two at will! There are only two!" Liu Ruyi smiled and held out two fingers!
Babu swallowed hard and glanced at Liu Ruyi hesitantly. Obviously, he was not sure whether Liu Ruyi was telling the truth.
Liu Ruyi smiled, "You only have one chance! If you miss it, Brother Babu, you will never have it again!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, General!" Babu quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and quickly rushed into the group of women!
But just as he had time to see the faces of these women clearly, he could no longer move. After a while, he stepped back and said, "General, this, this..."
"Haha? What? Brother Babu doesn't like him?" Liu Ruyi glanced at Babu playfully.
Babu gritted his teeth, rushed into the crowd of women, picked out two women with slightly darker skin, and knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi, "General, please! Let my two daughters go!"
These women were all the wives and concubines of Luo Rucai and the leaders of his subordinate civilian army, including Babu's two daughters!
In an instant, Babu's passion disappeared completely, replaced by a deep fear!
His two daughters, who are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and both have beautiful figures and looks, are like two obedient kittens, tightly clustered in front of Babu, not daring to show off their dignity.
!
"Oh! Since Brother Babu has chosen these two, fine! I will give them freedom!" Liu Ruyi smiled and waved to the two women, "Go and put on your clothes!"
"Yes! Yes!" the two women responded quickly, ran to the corner on one side of the tent and got dressed.
Babu also calmed down at this time. Since Liu Ruyi put on such a big show but did not kill himself or embarrass himself, then...
"Brother Babu, I believe you have felt my sincerity! We should talk about business now, right?" Liu Ruyi sat on the soft couch nearby and looked into Babu's eyes with a smile.
In fact, Liu Ruyi did not make things difficult for these women!
It's not easy for them either. Most of them are girls from good families, and Luo Rucai used various means to get them to his side.
Now that Luo Rucai is dead, they have become rootless Piaoping!
Moreover, the Caishi Army's military discipline is extremely strict, and Liu Ruyi will definitely not allow the existence of "military prostitutes" in his army!
The reason why Liu Ruyi put them in such a scene was not only to frighten Babu, but also because of his own evil taste!
This kind of life is probably only enjoyed by the sultans of the Ottoman Turkish Empire now!
However, all of these women are young and beautiful, and they are now Liu Ruyi's precious assets. This will be a guarantee for him to stabilize his military morale!
After all, Caishi Town is still too small, with more wolves and less meat. It is really difficult for officers and soldiers to find wives!
These women are in their prime, as beautiful as flowers. Even if they are not from a good background, their wealth is still clean after all. Liu Ruyi can rest assured that they will be rewarded to the soldiers!
Naturally, Babu didn't understand what Liu Ruyi was thinking at this time. He knelt on the ground with his butt in the air, "General, I'm really convinced! I beg the general to point out a clear path for me!"
