Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 652 Not a martial artist, but a good man

There was a lot of commotion on Zhu Jinzhong's bed, and the envious guards outside the room were dripping with envy.

But they are not bad, although there are no flirtatious people from Tanzhou, but it is not difficult to find prostitutes with three or five dollars.

For a coach like them, it's definitely not good to sleep with their arms around all night, but it's still okay to go out for a while.

This is because there are a large number of women accompanying the Chu army.

And it wasn't forced or even plundered. Most of these women came here on their own initiative.

There are Han people, there are barbarians from various streams and caves, and there are common characteristics, so the family will be extremely poor.

In this troubled world, people's moral needs are not so high.

The Khitan people and some Jieduya soldiers in the Central Plains, not to mention military pay, even rely on looting for food and grass. Of course, no one dared to approach them, but in Ma Chu, soldiers were paid.

Moreover, the state of Chu looks big, but the essence is actually on the Dongting Lake Plain, which is dominated by Tanzhou (Changsha), Langzhou (Changde) and Yuezhou.

Therefore, even if Ma Chubing went out to fight, there were still relatively few acts of looting and so on. They were surrounded by fellow villagers, and ordinary people would not be able to deal with it cruelly.

This is the reason why a large number of women follow these soldiers. After serving in the army for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan.Especially when there are more men and some military pay in their hands, it is easy to impulsively throw all that money on women.

There are quite a few women who are poor and can't even eat enough, as long as the soldiers don't kill or loot, they are willing to come out to do this.

This is also the reason why Ma Xie is so unpopular, because he recruited a large number of Xidongmen from the Wuling Mountains to loot Tanzhou and broke the rules of Ma Chuguo.

. . . .

Yuan Yougong led Guo Rong and others to choose a small village with a large number of women, because this direction is the rear of the entire Ma Chu army, and the defense is the most lax.

At this time, on the battlefield, women are still very taboo, so these women all live in the rear a little far away from the Chu army.

The Chu army also believed that this was the safest place, and both officers and soldiers subconsciously relaxed their vigilance in this direction.

Another one is that there are only some noises in this direction, which will not arouse the vigilance of the Chu army too much.

Because on the surface, the generals of the Chu army still want to restrain the soldiers, and won't let them flirt with these women in a grandiose manner.

And the soldiers often choose to be cool when it is getting dark or when it is getting brighter, and even many sentries will come here to escape the cold wind at night.

Yuan Yougong looked at Guo Rong seriously, "General, you must make it clear to the warriors under your command that the past two villages here are full of prostitutes. If you want to play tricks and have fun, you must defeat Zhu Jinzhong.

If he can't help but get his hands and feet dirty now, rapes and plunders, and alarms the You Yi army around him, all previous efforts will be wasted. "

In Yuan Yougong's view, the greatest danger of this trip was not to surprise Zhu Jinzhong, but to go through these two villages full of women.

Most of these prostitutes are young women, who have been in the flesh and blood business for so long, and they always have some money with them.In the eyes of Zhou Jun, who is a foreigner, this must be a very good looting target.

Women, rich, and weak resistance, all three are present.

Guo Rong grinned silently, waved his hand, and summoned a soldier who looked plain and honest, but had already chopped off eleven heads of Khitan people.

"Zhao Chang, there is a small village ahead where prostitutes live, you go up and make trouble for them, and all the money you rob will be yours."

The simple and honest Zhao Chang's eyes suddenly widened. This kid's brain is a little tricky, and he often can't tell whether others are joking or telling the truth.

So when he heard what Guo Rong said, he immediately became anxious. Although he was a little afraid of Guo Rong, he still said with a straight neck.

"General Lang wants to kill me or what? I want to make more military contributions, and I will return to Yunzhou to be a patrol inspector in the future. I won't go!"

"Still so stupid!" Guo Rong patted his head with a smile, and then asked a slender man beside him, but in fact he could wield five or six catties of bones and fight fiercely for half an hour.

"Xue Cunyuan, are you willing to go?"

When Xue Cunyuan heard Guo Rong's question, he immediately stood up and made a cross-hand salute to Guo Rong, revealing an inexplicable reliability in his rigidity.

"Lang Jiangxiu is joking. According to the military law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, looters pay ten times and pay five times. Adulters pay ten times, and the reward is deducted and fined. Those who plunder and adulterers will be killed without mercy!

Besides, a certain Xue Cunyuan was rescued by a saint from Anxi, if he broke the military law, what face would he have to go back to see the saint. "

Xue Cunyuan was already ten years old when Zhang Ting sent Ma Zhaoyuan (Ma Yaozi) to defeat the army of Yusupu, the governor of Karahan Kesai City, and rescue the last descendant of the Anxi Army in Xinkucha.

For 13 years, every time Xue Cunyuan recalled the afternoon when he was rescued, he trembled all over.

Because before that, he lived like a mule and horse in the wilderness, being hunted and killed wantonly by the Karakhans and Saman Persians.

And after that, his life immediately became 'Rome. '

He is the third generation of the Donggui sect who is the most confidant of Saint Shaoming, and he regards Zhang Ting as a god. If Zhang Ting says he can't do it, Xue Cunyuan will definitely not do it.

Seeing Guo Rong turn his gaze to himself, Wang Jingcun quickly waved his hands, "General Lang, don't ask the servant, if the servant does it, the brother-in-law will have to beat him to death before the military law punishes him.

Besides, Cheng Xinlang's rank as an official is not easy to come by, so it must not be ruined like this. "

Wang Jingcun's brother-in-law is Zhang Cheng, who was the nephew of the father-in-law Wang's elder brother who was a villager in Shangxiabaima Village.

Zhang Cheng is not only his cousin-in-law, Zhang Cheng's father Zhang Dalang, but also saved his life several times on the battlefield. Therefore, Zhang Cheng is the one Wang Jingcun respects and fears the most.

Wang Jingcun was able to talk to Guo Rong so calmly because he was born in the most orthodox Lianglan Liugu School of Lanzhou Liugu.

If Guo Rong hadn't served under the command of Zhang Teng, who was still the king of Han, when he attacked Xiazhou back then, and he had made military exploits by the Hun River, he wouldn't be able to command such a senior hero from the dragon at all.

After hearing this, Guo Rong laughed, and gathered around 200 people around him, looked at them and asked.

"They're all good sons of my Great Zhou. Do you remember what the sage said when you entered the barracks?"

Everyone stood up and replied: "No adultery, no looting, no indiscriminate killing. The fame and fame should be obtained from the horse, and it must be called the one in the world!"

After the general finished speaking, Guo Rong turned his head to look at Yuan Yougong triumphantly, "Brother Yuan, have you seen it? The one in front of you is not a warrior who only knows how to kill indiscriminately, but a good man who is good at Zhou!"

Yuan Yougong immediately gave an empty salute to everyone, "It's the heart of a certain villain. Today I realize that there are heavenly soldiers who don't commit adultery, looting, and killing indiscriminately. Zhu Jinzhong is doomed!"

. . . .

Zhu Jinzhong was indeed dead. Yinshi had passed, and there were still a large number of soldiers wandering around in the village where the two prostitutes lived.

The whole village smelled faintly of wine, and Guo Rong even saw a fool who drank too much and slept outside, frozen like a frozen fish.

It turned out that after Zhu Jinzhong summoned the soldiers and generals to eat and drink, the soldiers below also made a noise. Zhu Jinzhong had to order the cook to add food and meat to the soldiers.

After the banquet, he hugged the prostitutes in Tanzhou and was sent to bed together. The people below lost their restraint. A large number of officers followed suit and even lived in the prostitutes' homes, never returning to the camp.

The officials are like this, and the soldiers are even more unruly. In addition, Zhou Jun has been showing weak offense these days, so the soldiers regard Lishui as a natural danger, and despise Zhou Jun and his unscrupulousness even more.

Wang Jingcun and Xue Cunyuan stood shoulder to shoulder. These two people had the same situation.

Before Wang Jingcun and Zhang Tie came, the whole family grazed the headman and lived in extreme hardship.

His father had his legs broken by Dong Puqiong just because a wolf had taken a half-grown calf.

In the end, because he lost his source of income and in order not to burden his wife and children, Wang Jingcun's father insisted on refusing to eat, and starved himself to death on the bed.

Wang Jingcun still remembers that early morning, when his mother found a handful of wheat from somewhere, cooked the porridge, knelt on the ground and begged his father to take a bite, but his father pointed to him, meaning to leave the stuttering to him. he.

Therefore, when Guo Rong asked him if he would go to plunder, what Wang Jingcun really wanted to say was that even if Wang Jingcun starved to death, he would not bully those weak women who were suffering.

It is his pursuit to kill all those cruel and unkind people who want to be rich, and to distribute all the fields and acres of the world to the poor.

The same goes for Xue Cunyuan, who didn't even wear pants when he was ten years old. As long as he can remember, he has been following his relatives and being driven around by various forces like wild dogs.

He has read books a few days longer than Wang Jingcun, and he can better understand what Zhang Ting often said to them, the meaning of ending the troubled times, rebuilding the great dynasty, and restoring peace to the people of the world.

The two bitter men walked forward side by side, the armor was rolled into a cylinder and carried behind their backs, the long knives and bones were rolled together, and what they held in their hands was a spear.

To be precise, this should be called a hooked sickle gun, and there is a small ring at the end of the hooked sickle gun.

In this way, when marching, the soldiers behind can hook the hook and sickle of the gun head on the ring at the tail of the soldiers in front, so as to ensure the formation and reduce the situation of falling behind, especially when passing through mountain roads, it often has miraculous effects .

. . . .

The barracks of the Chu Army are distributed in circles around Xiaodukou Town.

The outermost is the civilian husband and a small number of state and county athletes, the inner layer is the Wu'an army and the barbarians of various streams, and the innermost is the Langzhou Yabing led by the Wuping army.

When they walked to the point where they were less than half a mile away from Xiaodukou Town, they stopped.

The ten generals of each team began to take out a large bag from their pockets, and then distributed a small dumpling to each person.

This is a small rice ball, which is made of polished rice repeatedly steamed and hammered, and then mixed with high-calorie foods such as honey, sugar, lard, etc., which can quickly restore physical strength. In addition to this rice ball, each person has a sip of spirits to drink.

The soldiers gnawed on the rice balls and drank the spirits in one gulp, and immediately felt some strength recovered from their bodies.

They hurriedly opened the cotton armor that had been carried on their backs, then quickly put on the cotton armor, fastened the leather belt, and inserted the horizontal knife, bone, bow and arrow on the leather belt or carried it on their backs.

Hundreds of people moved together, but there was only a slight rubbing sound of armor. Yuan Yougong felt that this was normal when he thought that they walked ten miles and didn't even need to wear a badge.

Guo Rong began to assign tasks. They were recruited from different units, so the original organizational system had been disrupted, and the temporarily appointed general Yuhou could not fully control the soldiers.

In this group of brave men, it is not uncommon for soldiers to disobey their officials, so Guo Rong must explain the details clearly and give General Yuhou and even the chief sufficient authority.

The defense map drawn by Yuan Yougong was familiar to everyone. Guo Rong decided to attack in three groups. The middle route went directly to Zhu Jinzhong's tent.

Guo Rong looked at the seven generals Zhao Kuangyin, Murong Yanzhao, Wang Shenqi, Pan Mei, Lin Renzhao, Lin Renhan, and Yao Kechou beside him and said.

"A certain family led the Central Route in person, and Pan Mei, Lin Renzhao, and Yao Kechou went with the certain family. We rushed and fought as fast as we could, and rushed into the Chinese army to find Zhu Jinzhong's trace.

Zhao Kuangyin and Lin Renhan went to the left, Murong Yanzhao and Wang Shenqi went to the right.The pear flower gun must be strictly controlled, and can only be used to frighten the rebels at critical moments. "

. . . .

Outside Xiaodukou Town, there were a few dim oil lamps floating around, swaying in the cold wind, making them look extraordinarily intrusive.

More than a dozen peasants huddled together in a nest, with some simple hay and some burlap towels from nowhere to cover it, it was a place to sleep.

Because it was too cold, more than a dozen civilians were crowded tightly together, and the one who slept in the most comfortable position in the middle was a soldier from the Wuping Army. They came to supervise these civilians.

The tooth soldier grunted, the campfire beside the earth nest had been extinguished long ago, so this early winter morning was getting colder and colder.

He didn't bother to get up, and directly knocked the wooden stick in his hand on the leg of a person next to him at random.

"Go! Get some firewood, and see which camp's fire is still alive, and go and light it."

The one who was targeted was a young civilian husband with a very thin figure, and he was only wearing an even thinner linen clothes.

He was terribly cold sleeping outside, and now he is even more unwilling to leave this slightly warm nest.

But he, who was used to obeying, didn't dare to challenge the order of this short and sturdy dental soldier, and he didn't even dare to cough loudly, so he could only barely get up.

However, he soon discovered that there seemed to be something flickering in the distance. Unfortunately, the poor living conditions of the peasant made his night blindness a little serious, so he squinted his eyes hard, but he still couldn't see clearly.

"Brother Tuesday, what is that flashing thing outside? That battalion went out to collect firewood so early?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still asked the tooth soldier sleeping in the middle.

"You idiot, that's why you came back after you got married to your mother.

Why don't you hurry up to collect firewood for me and make a fire, it will freeze you to death, and when you get up, you will be skinned! "

The dental soldier known as Brother Zhou didn't even raise his head, and scolded the young civilian husband with his head covered his face.

Because the direction the young civilian husband was looking at happened to be the village where the prostitutes rested.

Brother Tuesday naturally regarded the flickering light as a torch lit by the generals who came back from the show, and he was naturally a little angry in his heart.

The surrounding peasants also echoed with low laughter, while the young peasants stood up a little scared, and then prepared to collect firewood.

They live in the outermost areas, and they don't even have the qualifications to enter the town. If there is no firewood, they might freeze to death at night.

However, just as he took two steps, he heard a strange sound, like some kind of tight hemp rope suddenly rebounding.

And with this sound, a tooth soldier with a knife not far in front of him suddenly fell to the ground.

The young man still couldn't see what happened. He turned around and wanted to ask questions again, but he was more afraid of being scolded, so he could only hesitate to speak in a daze.

Then he saw Brother Zhou, who was sleeping peacefully in the nest, got up almost as if he was flying from the spot, and the speed was completely beyond the imagination of the young man.

The folks didn't know what the sound meant, but Brother Zhou, who had been licking blood for more than ten years, knew that it was the sound of crossbow arrows firing. He suddenly got up and wanted to run into the town.

But it was too late, his figure was so clear on this silent and cold winter morning.

Murong Yanzhao, who is known as a sharp shooter, lightly pulled the trigger, and immediately shot the tooth soldier who was running like a wild rabbit to death on the spot.

The young man saw clearly now, he saw Brother Zhou being shot through the chest and abdomen by something.

Blood gushed out from Brother Tuesday's waist, and he even tried to reach out his hand, wanting the young man to give him a hand.

But on the young man's face, suddenly there was that kind of daze that knew nothing and was harmless to humans and animals.

He walked over with peace of mind, held Brother Zhou's head, and smashed his mouth, which he wanted to howl, directly into the mud.
