Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2084
When people have money, they don't want to take risks.

As the days go by, everyone is naturally unwilling to do things to die.

Compared with the people in other places, the people in Sanhuang County are happier.

So they feel that such things as fighting desperately should be handed over to those who have nothing. What else can they do besides working hard?
And for people like them who can live a good life, it is better to continue to live at home.

Throughout the ages, this principle is enduring.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin cursed loudly in the barracks, but after the curse was over, there was nothing they could do.

People don't need to work hard to live a good life. If you want them to fight and work hard, will they be willing?
As for the feelings of family and country, it is really useless. Everyone works as a soldier, either to have enough food, or to make their lives easier. The words are too lofty, and even they themselves think it is false.

The two stared wide-eyed.

"How to do?"

Cheng Chumo curled his lips and said: "What else can we do? People here don't have a good idea to change. Unless the enemy kills them and makes them understand that if they don't serve as soldiers, they won't have a good life and their families will suffer, but This place is too far away, the enemy can't kill them at all, so we have no choice but to let them understand some truths, so... we can only leave and change to another place. In this world, there are always some people who have nothing , I can only live my life by working hard.”

They all understand this truth.

So the next day, they left Sanhuang County.

After leaving Sanhuang County, they planned to go to Liuye County.

This is a county named after surnames. Just looking at the names, you can tell that there are more people with the surnames Liu and Ye.

To reach Liuye County, they had to cross a desert, which was huge, and at their speed, it would take at least five or six days to cross it.

But when they crossed the desert like this, the situation in Liuye County was in crisis.

In the desert, there is a group of robbers, about 600 people. They often plunder the surrounding counties, and after the plunder, they hide in the desert again.

The terrain in the desert is very complicated, or many places look the same. If you are not particularly familiar with this place, you may get lost after entering.

Therefore, this group of robbers can often succeed, and after succeeding, no one can do anything to them.

At this time, the situation in Liuye County was very bad.

The county magistrate of Liuye County is called Liu Dong, and he is a fat man, but his political achievements here are pretty good. Liuye County was once attacked by bandits, so Liu Dong has sent people to keep an eye on his jurisdiction since then. For the situation ten miles away, once you find traces of robbers, report them immediately.

At noon that day, the sun was scorching, and many people took a nap in their yards to enjoy the cool.

For many people, taking a nap in summer is the most comfortable thing in life, even when they fall asleep, they are sweating profusely.

As a fat man, Liu Dong is actually very sleepy, so after noon, he also took a nap, but just after he fell asleep, someone disturbed his lucid dream.

"Master County Magistrate, it's not good, it's not good..."

Liu Dong was woken up with a start, the corners of his mouth were still drooling, he subconsciously wiped it with his hands, his expression changed slightly when he saw the person coming, he was obviously a little embarrassed, he was a county magistrate after all, how could he show such an ugly face to others?
This made him somewhat angry.

"what's going on?"

"That Wang Lao Wu... brought his own minion to kill him again, and he will arrive soon, Mr. County Magistrate, what should we do?"

"What, is Wang Lao Wu here again?"

Liu Dong was a little angry, but also a little anxious. The last time Liu Dong came, although he didn't kill anyone, he robbed a lot of rich people's money and things. Afterwards, those rich people were very angry and made him, the county magistrate, scolded.

If Wang Lao Wu and the others succeed again this time, what's the deal?
After walking back and forth like this for two steps, Liu Dong stopped suddenly, and said: "Come here, call the servants of the county government to rush to the city gate for me, and guard the city gate for me. You must guard the city gate."

There are not many yamen servants in the county government, only a few dozen people. The gathering speed of these dozens of people is quite fast. It didn't take long for them to gather in one place and hurried to the city gate.

Liuye County is a very small county, the city gate is a bit dilapidated, neither high nor strong, maybe only a little higher than the high walls of some big families.

Dozens of yamen servants stood on the top of the city tower with serious expressions on their faces. There are so few of them. I don’t know if they can resist Wang Laowu’s people. If they can’t resist, their behavior will definitely anger Wang Laowu. , when he starts to kill, it will be bad.

They worry.

But not long after they arrived at the city gate, they saw wind and dust billowing in the distance, and then they saw Wang Laowu riding a tall horse and leading a group of younger brothers charging over.

There are a lot of people in this group, about 500 people, and almost all of them are dispatched. After all, there will be a lot of things, and there are too many people to take them.

Wang Laowu is a tall and thick man with a full beard. After he stopped, he glanced at Liu Dong on the tower, and said, "The county magistrate is a good man, can you take pity on us and let us go into the city to rob us?" Don't worry, we only rob things and don't kill people. We are very reputable, but if the county magistrate doesn't follow my wish, it's hard to say whether we won't kill people after we capture the city gate. We Most of these people are bachelors, and they haven't tasted women for a long time. I heard that the wives and wives in this county are all good-looking. If we fall in love with a few, then we won't be polite. .”

Wang Laowu spoke very humorously, but Liu Dong on the tower had an ugly face and was very conflicted.

This Wang Lao Wu said that he would not kill people, but he believed it. Didn’t he kill people last time? He just wanted him to let these robbers into the city, but he really didn’t know how to let them go. If they let them in, the people would still suffer. ?
And he let it go by himself, so how can he be the county magistrate, and how is his conscience?

But if he doesn't let go, his dozens of people will definitely not be able to stop these robbers, and once these robbers are allowed to rush into the city, then they will kill people, kidnap women and so on, I'm afraid they will do it?
These are robbers. Is there anything these robbers can't do?

Liu Dong is conflicted, and his heart is even more contradictory.

But Wang Laowu in the city seemed unwilling to give him too much time to think.

"Open the door quickly, or we will start to attack the city. You just broke the city wall. Believe it or not, I will knock it down in minutes?"
