After sending Zhang Nan away, Wen Yuan said again: "Three hundred people with heavy equipment will be left to guard the main road here. No one is allowed to pass. The rest will follow me into the fort!"
Wen Yuan led more than 1,200 troops and more than 500 vehicles towards Wubao. Outside the fort, Wang Li led dozens of cavalry and were still galloping around, announcing orders.
Those poor people were always timid. At first, more than ten people were killed because of panic. After that, no one dared to run around anymore.
Wen Yuan summoned Wang Li to give him the secret, and then led his troops into the fort.
At this time, the Wubao has been completely controlled by Zhang Jaw. There is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. In a grain field in the fort, more than 500 people of the Yang family, young and old, and their private tribe are all tied to the ground.
Zhang Jaw ordered more than a hundred soldiers to guard him, and Zhang Jaw personally led the rest to search the Yang family's treasury for money and food.
When Wen Yuan saw Zhang Jia, Zhang Jia was already excited and gibbering incoherently, saying: "Grain! My lord, look, there is a lot of grain!"
Wen Yuan followed Zhang Zha into the grain warehouse, and saw mountains of millet and warehouses full of grain. He, who had always been lazy, couldn't help but feel excited. Since recruiting soldiers, Wen Yuan has been oppressed by a heavy food crisis and has never been able to breathe.
Come, with this food, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Being carried away, Wen Yuan dove into a pile of corn, enjoying the situation of being buried in grain.
After being indulged for a long time, Wen Yuan calmed down and patted Zhang Zhan on the shoulder: "Junyi, you have indeed lived up to my expectations! Quickly order the troops to transport the money and food to the trucks. All the soldiers participating in the battle will rest in place until dawn, and then help
Shipping grain and fodder.”
He opened his jaw and bowed to accept the order: "General, I obey! There is another matter, how to deal with the Yang family and their tribes in Wubao."
Wen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "The Yang family has an affair with the Baibo bandits. We will send a hundred archers here before dawn! All the old, weak, young and strong, will be beheaded in public display! All the women and children will be driven out of Wubao!"
"General, I obey!" Zhang Jia accepted the order and left, while Wen Yuan began to direct the troops to load grain and grass.
Before dawn, Zhang Jaw led a hundred archers to behead all the more than 200 old, weak, young and strong people in Yangjiawu Fort, and all the women and children were driven out of Wubao.
After not sleeping all night, Wen Yuan was in high spirits. He summoned Zhang Yu, gave some instructions, and continued to direct the troops to load food. However, just before dawn, there was an episode in the fort.
It turned out that Wen Yuan ordered archers to drive the women and children out of the fort. Two of the archers saw that one of the women and children was young and beautiful, so they secretly hid the woman in the fort. When the village chief Murong Ping gathered, he found that two people were missing, so he
After searching all the way back and forth, we soon found the two men who were raping the prostitute in a woodshed.
When Wen Yuan arrived, the two soldiers were already tied tightly and kneeling on the ground outside the woodshed. Low sobbing could be heard from time to time in the woodshed.
Wen Yuan's face was as cold as frost and he asked coldly: "Do you two know my military orders?"
The two soldiers kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic, and cried out in a hissing voice: "General, General, spare your life! The villain has been convicted!"
Wen Yuandao: "Tell me! What military order did you two violate?"
"The villain disobeys the general's orders, hides the robbers' female relatives, and... General, I really know that I am wrong. I beg the general to bypass me this time!"
"Very good. Now that you know the crime you committed, you must already know what punishment you should receive, Murong Ping!"
"My subordinates are here!" Murong Ping came out of the queue loudly and bowed to Wenyuan.
"According to military law, how should these two people be dealt with?"
Murong Pingping said with embarrassment: "According to military law, these two...should be killed! But General, this is his first offender, and the woman was also a person who was forcibly married into the house by a bandit. Do you think it is..."
Wen Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he interrupted with a sharp shout: "Don't say anything more! You are not strict in your rule, causing the soldiers to violate military orders. You can't escape the blame for this! I haven't punished you yet, so you come and take his place.
The two of you begged for mercy! I tell you, you won’t be able to run away after being beaten with a military stick and returned to camp!”
"Yes! I am guilty!" Murong Ping was dripping with cold sweat as he hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty.
Wen Yuan slowly walked towards the two people who violated the military order. When they saw that Murong Ping was also scolded, they knew that they were unjust and no longer begged for mercy. They lowered their heads and remained silent.
Wen Yuan saw the gloomy expressions on their faces and said, "You two are not convinced?"
The two of them lowered their heads and said, "The general's military laws are strict, and the villain dare not make unreasonable comments. However, the adults will always remember the kindness of the villain. Even if he is beheaded by the general today, he has no regrets. The two of us are still willing to follow the general in the next life!"
Wen Yuan said in a low voice: "I believe in your loyalty, but today I want you to know why I must kill you two."
"You two need to know that we are officers and soldiers, not thieves. You two are doing such beastly things. How are you different from thieves? You need to know who has no parents, who has no wife and daughter, not to mention that this woman is a good family member.
, was forcibly married into the fort, and her life experience was already miserable. Our army broke the Wubao and cut off her livelihood. Today you are doing this slutty thing again, how can you bear it? If you change your place this time, you will be
It is your wife and daughter who committed adultery, how do you feel?"
The two of them burst into tears, knelt down and hugged Wen Yuan's calf and cried: "General, we both know that we were wrong. We regret that we were so distracted and had evil thoughts for a moment. We are ashamed to see the general and to see all the brothers! We are both ashamed.
People know that their crimes are unforgivable and dare not ask the general for forgiveness. However, they still have parents at home who have no one to support them. I hope the general will show mercy."
Wen Yuan also had tears in his eyes, and sighed and said: "You two can go in peace. This time when you go back, I will say that you two died in the battlefield, and give you a pension according to the regulations. I will send people to give you food every month to your relatives at home."
rice."
"Thank you, General! Your great virtue, the two of us can only repay you in the next life!" The two thanked them with tears in their eyes. Then they stood up and said sadly to the soldiers surrounding them: "Brothers! Brothers! The two of us can only repay you in the next life!"
We were blinded by lard and committed this despicable crime! If the general hadn’t painstakingly taught us, we would have refused to repent until our deaths!"
"The general has been so kind to us. We can no longer repay you in this life. I also ask all the brothers present to follow the general and kill the enemy with meritorious deeds!"
"Follow the general! Kill the enemy and perform meritorious service!" the crowd shouted in a choked voice.
Wen Yuan waved his hand and sighed: "Okay, it's useless to talk anymore. You two can go on the road in peace. Murong Ping, let's carry out the execution!" After saying that, he turned his back with emotion.
Murong Ping said in a hoarse voice: "Subordinate... follow your orders!"
After a moment, two heads were presented in front of Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan felt sad in his heart, waved his hand and ordered Murong Ping to be buried in the fort, and then walked out.
Since then, Wenyuan's military discipline has been strictly enforced, and orders and prohibitions have been enforced. No one dares to disobey military orders anymore.
At this time, it was already daylight. The people outside Wubao had listened to the shouts of killing all night. They were staying at home in panic and were at a loss. Suddenly they heard cavalry galloping outside the house and shouting:
"We are following the general's order to inform the nearby people: Our Black Mountain army has broken through Wubao! All the Yang family have been ambushed and executed. Our army has not committed any harm in the autumn of the common people. If there are those who are willing to join our Black Mountain army, they can enter the fort early tomorrow morning to receive military rations.
, Anyone who leaves the house without authorization today will be killed without mercy!"
After listening to the message from the cavalry, the worried people finally calmed down a little, thinking that the Black Mountain bandit had really done nothing to the people, otherwise there would be no soldiers invading the house after midnight, but this big family of Yang was in dire straits.
, how can it be better to be favored by the Black Mountain bandits? However, the Yang family is usually so domineering that I can't help but hold back a breath of evil in my heart!
Damn it! What a retribution! These evil wolves who usually eat people without spitting out their bones finally got their comeuppance today! Let’s relieve their anger! If the Montenegrin Army hadn’t ordered the people not to leave their homes, I’m afraid someone would have been happily beating gongs, drums and setting off firecrackers.
The people outside the fort here stayed at home with peace of mind, but the work was in full swing inside the fort. Bags of grain were loaded onto the carriages. At dawn, the carriage soldiers were already exhausted. Wen Yuan could only arrange for everyone to take turns to rest, so the whole transportation process
It took one day to load all the food, grass and baggage in Yangjiabao!
According to statistics, a total of more than 4,000 gold and millions of coins were confiscated this time, more than 80,000 hu of grain and grass, nearly 1,000 pieces of silk, more than 1,000 cattle and horses, countless pigs and sheep, and more than 200 ring-headed knives.
, more than five hundred spears, halberds, ninety-three cards, forty-seven bows, everything is trivial. With so much wealth and weapons, there are more than two thousand carts in total. The carts brought by Wen Yuan are not enough, and the carts brought by Wenyuan are not enough.
More than 700 vehicles were collected from Yangjiazhuang before the installation was complete.
Hearing this number, Wen Yuan couldn't help but smile with joy. If nothing else, with this batch of food and the original savings, Wen Yuan was confident that he could feed his military households for half a year!
That night, Wenyuan killed pigs and sheep and rewarded the three armies. More than two thousand people were all fed a full meal. He left thousands of grains outside the fort to distribute to the people. Then he burned Wubao on fire and pulled two men with him.
More than thousands of grain trucks returned north along the same route.
The grain cart was heavy, and even though Wen Yuan had used all the cattle and horses to pull the cart, the journey was still extremely slow. Fortunately, Zhang Nan led two to three thousand military households and relatives to meet him halfway, and the group finally arrived at dawn
Returned to Xiaquyang before.
It wasn't until he saw the last cart of grain and fodder entering his warehouse that Wen Yuan finally felt at ease.
After two days and two nights of hard work, his eyes were already red. At this time, he no longer had any worries in his heart, and he suddenly felt tired. Wen Yuan immediately issued an order: "Spare the money! Drink! Eat meat! Have a good sleep all day!"
