"Master Jun, please let my mother-in-law go...Mother-in-law, forget it, let's forget it...Please, Master Jun." A beautiful young woman rushed out of the room, crying and urging the old woman to let go.
When the Qiang soldiers saw the young woman's beauty, they immediately smiled lustfully.
"Hey, brothers, you are lucky, take them back."
Several Qiang soldiers swarmed up and kicked the old woman out, causing her to fall on the doorpost with a bloody head. Before the young woman had time to cry, she was picked up by the waist and put on the horse.
"Animal... live." The old woman watched the Qiang soldiers leave, said two words, and then died.
The people in the village looked out in fear from the cracks in the windows and doors. Twelve Qiang soldiers were holding roosters, rice bags, pork and pickles, and returned to the camp happily. As soon as they left the village entrance, they were suddenly startled. They saw soldiers in front of them.
A flag was erected, a huge flag with the two characters "神伟" written on it.
"Put her down." Fan Lixiang looked at the struggling young woman and said coldly to the Qiang soldier captain.
"Fan Lixiang, you are the commander-in-chief of the Shenwei Army, but you have no control over us, so get out of the way."
"I can't control the rest. If you dare to rob people, I, Fan Lixiang, must control it."
"What kind of onion are you?" the captain of the Qiang soldiers said disdainfully: "We Qiang people have worked hard to fight with you Han people. How many brothers have died? We are not even allowed to have enough to eat. Can't we still be self-reliant?"
"That's right, get out of here."
Fan Lixiang slowly tightened the handle of the knife. The captain of the Qiang soldiers saw that Fan Lixiang looked wrong. He had heard that this woman was ruthless and would risk everything for the sake of the people, so he felt a little scared.
Tongue-tied, she said: "Fan, Fan Lixiang, I warn you not to act recklessly. If the Qiang people and the Han people are separated, I, I, let me tell you. You, a little commander, cannot bear this responsibility."
Fan Lixiang winked to the left and right, and Xingdao Rongchen Ying couldn't help but rush forward with his ax and flying fork. The captain of the Qiang soldiers was horrified. As soon as he pulled out his scimitar, Liu Min, the general of Shenwei Army, shouted: "Don't kill..."
"
Before the word "人" could be uttered, Chen Ying threw a flying fork, which knocked the Qiang soldier captain to the ground. "Go and inform the leader of the Flower Party..." Liu Min sighed heavily as he died.
Chen Yingxing Daorong rescued the young woman. The Shenwei army fired arrows at random, and ten Qiang soldiers were nailed to the ground. The remaining Qiang soldier was hit by three arrows and escaped to the left.
"Good kill." Fan Lixiang looked at the corpse of the Qiang soldier that was tied into a hornet's nest and kicked the corpse.
"It's the Divine Power Army."
"It's General Fan's mighty army."
The people in the village came out, and an old man cried to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, you are here, those beasts are not human beings."
The old man was heartbroken that his wife had been killed and burst into tears. Fan Lixiang, wearing a military uniform, hugged the old man tightly and patted the old man's back. She led the army to the village and saw the old woman's body, with the old man and his wife crying beside him.
Fan Lixiang knelt down in front of the old woman's body. Chen Ying, Xing Daorong, Liu Min and all the soldiers of the Shenwei Army knelt down and kowtowed to the old woman.
"Darlings, Lixiang is sorry for you." Fan Lixiang bowed to the people in the village.
"General Fan, we all know that you are a good person. But..." a village man gritted his teeth and said: "How come the Sichuan army has these beasts? Can't the Lord of Shu see it?"
"Don't the Sichuan troops always love their people like their own children? Why didn't the Lord of Shu kill these people who are no better than beasts?"
"If I were the prince of Shu, I should appoint a good general like General Fan as the marshal of the army. These beasts who rob the common people should be punished."
Fan Lixiang listened quietly to the voices of the people. At this time, she explained that it was done by Qiang soldiers and was not directly related to the Sichuan Army. It had no effect at all. The people only knew that they were soldiers who came from the Sichuan Army barracks.
Fan Lixiang returned the things stolen by the Qiang soldiers to the people, and gave some copper coins to the old man and young woman. The people sent the Shenwei Army out of the village.
"General, just now the people sent us food, but the general confiscated it. I understand that the general is thinking about the people and the reputation of the Shenwei Army, but we don't have much food. What should we do?" Liu Min said anxiously.
Liu Min and Jiang Wan were as famous in the countryside. Unlike Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan majored in literature, but Liu Min studied both civil and military arts. He was not as good as Jiang Wan in literature and military training, but he was superior to Jiang Wan in military command and training.
Fan Lixiang didn't know much about military affairs, so she left all the military affairs of the Divine Power Army to Liu Min. After a few years, the Divine Power Army has become a qualified army.
"We all come from poor backgrounds. What's the point of a few hungry meals? Bring back these twelve horses, add some war horses, and deal with them first."
"Will the lord be blamed for killing a war horse?" War horses are the scarcest commodity. Killing war horses without permission is a serious violation of military law.
"People are going to die, and they still care about war horses."
Fan Lixiang scolded lightly and led the entire army back to the camp.
The Baima Qiang soldiers who ran away reported the situation to Hua Dang, the leader of the Baima Qiang. As soon as he finished telling what had happened, he died of anger. Hua Dang was so angry that his mouth was full of smoke.
"It's unreasonable. We worked so hard to fight with the Han army, but in the end the Han army actually killed my people. They clearly don't regard us as human beings. Come and follow me to find Fan Lixiang to ask for an explanation."
White horse Qiang cavalry dispatched in large numbers.

"Brother, I'm so hungry."
"Wait a little longer."
Wang Shuang and eighteen brothers hid in a bush. They sneaked for more than thirty miles before arriving at this place, which was already an area controlled by the Liang army.
"Gululu."
His stomach growled, and Wang Shuang frowned. The Sichuan Army's food distribution for each battalion was reduced, and the Dongqingyi Langqi were no exception. In order to set an example, Wang Shuang and his eighteen brothers took the lead in enduring hunger.
But people are as good as steel. If they don't eat, no matter how powerful they are, they will still be hungry.
Wang Shuang had no choice but to take eighteen brothers on an adventure. Suddenly, a group of Liang troops appeared in sight. Wang Shuang was overjoyed: "How about it? Let me tell you, there are people in our army who are looting. The Qiang in the Liang army are riding in the west."
Liang Qi is not a good person, they will also rob them. Just wait, and when those bastards rob the people, we will rush forward and do justice for heaven."
"Okay, okay." The eighteen brothers were gearing up.
After less than half an hour, the Liang army cavalry snatched the food and returned with a full load. Wang Shuang immediately led his brothers and rushed forward. Eighteen people faced more than thirty people. Two rounds of arrows rained, and the arrows were all fired. All the thirty Liang soldiers fell.
In a pool of blood.
After finishing his journey for heaven, Wang Shuang led his brothers and ran away while holding the war horses loaded with food.

Compared with the Qiang people, the barbarian army has much better military discipline, especially Xiao Furong's army. "Whoever dares to rob people of food will have their heads cut off." This military order has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Wuxi barbarian soldiers since Wuling.
The barbarian army could only suffer from hunger like the direct soldiers of the Sichuan army, with poor food supplies.
However, Zhu Rong's Nanzhong barbarians were not so aware. Zhu Rong tried hard to suppress the anger in the army, but it was like dry wood covering a fire. If it cannot be extinguished, it will only burn more intensely.
Zhu Rong was anxious in the army, and then the bird from Yan Palace in Silver Moon Cave found Zhu Rong.
"Commander, this is not the way to go. The people of the Southern Wilderness tribe are now dissatisfied. If they are not fed enough, they may mutiny. Que'er has already thought of a way to solve the problem of military rations, but he has to take risks."
Because the Silk Road had just been opened and Dianzhou was first built, there was no large-scale recruitment of barbarian troops this time. None of the barbarian leaders such as Wu Tugu, Yang Feng, Meng Jie, and King Mulu were recruited, and only 20,000 were recruited.
Yan Gong Que'er of the Southern Central Frontier Army was the only leader who accompanied the expedition in the Southern Wilderness.
"What can we do? Tell me quickly." Zhu Rong said anxiously. If the Nanzhong barbarian army looted, Zhu Rong didn't know how to face Liu Zhang, but the barbarians are very realistic. If you don't feed him, why should he sacrifice his life for you?
Yan Gong Que'er took out the map: "Look, Commander, this is the Nanshan Camp of the Liang Army. According to my investigation, there is no doubt that the Liang Army's food and grass are here. Our army's garrison area and attack area are just south of Qinchuan. We
It is better to attack the Nanshan camp and seize the food of the Liang army."
"No." Zhu Rong flatly refused: "As far as I know, the Nanshan camp has heavy troops. How can we rob food?"
"What a heavy army, only more than 10,000 people. If more than 10,000 people defend the mountain, 20,000 of us will indeed not be able to attack it. But, what if their master gives up wine and food?"
"The commander-in-chief has wine bags and rice bags? Who is the commander-in-chief of Nanshan Camp?"
"The reckless man Zhang Fei."
"Zhang Fei?" Zhu Rong frowned. Zhang Fei fought against Huang Zhong from Chencang and defeated the top general of the Sichuan Army. He was brave and invincible and had long been known to the generals of the Sichuan Army. At the same time, his shortcomings were also well known.
He loves to drink, loves to beat and scold soldiers, and loves to get into trouble.
Can these people hold on to the granary? Isn’t it a God-given opportunity?
"Okay, report to the lord immediately and attack the Nanshan camp."
"It's too late." Yan Gong Que'er said: "According to the report from our Silver Moon Cave warriors, this afternoon, Zhang Fei was drunk again and beat up two guards, Xu Hu and Zhang Mao. These two guards were guarding the Nanshan Camp.
entrance.
Now Zhang Fei is drunk and unconscious. Xu Hu and Zhang Mao have been wounded again. They are resentful and have difficulty moving. This is our God-given opportunity. We must not miss it. Why don't we copy the report to Shuhou and lead the army to attack immediately?
Nanshan.”
It has been several months since he joined the Sichuan Army. Yan Gong Que'er has never said a word to Hao Sheng. It's not that he doesn't want to say it. Every time he sees Hao Sheng standing behind Liu Zhang, Yan Gong Que'er rushes towards him.
I was impulsive, but I didn't have the nerve to rush forward.
What Yan Gongque'er was thinking at this time was that the Sichuan Army was facing a food shortage crisis. If he could use his plan to seize the Liang Army's food and grass, it would be a great achievement. In that case, he should be able to muster up the courage to say a few words to Hao Sheng.
Bar.

Hua Dang, the leader of the Baima Qiang, rushed towards the Shenwei Army camp with two thousand Qiang cavalry. Just halfway, he met and killed Fan Lixiang who had looted the Qiang soldiers along the way. There were about three thousand Shenwei Army behind Fan Lixiang, and the Shenwei Army drew his sword.
He raised his spear and nervously confronted the Qiang army.
"Fan Lixiang, you are so majestic. You dare to kill my people, and you are good at killing Paoze. Don't you take the military law of the Sichuan Army seriously?" Hua Dang said coldly.
"Who dares to rob the common people? Who is your lord? The lord has repeatedly ordered not to rob the common people. Are you the ones who don't take military law seriously?" Fan Lixiang looked at Huadang with a solemn look. (To be continued)
