Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 580

"Xingyang is ahead, you really don't want to go back?"

Immediately, Luo Cheng looked at Zheng Guanyin who was beside him on a bay red horse, and asked with a smile.

Zheng Guanyin was riding on the horse, gritting her teeth silently.Along the way, Luo Cheng didn't have the slightest feeling of pity and pity, and insisted on letting her follow the team on horseback.

But for the little girl of the eldest grandson's family, she was sitting in a comfortable carriage.When I get tired of sitting, I come out to ride a horse, and when I am tired from riding, I go to the car again.

Her pair of jade legs, because of riding a horse for a long time, the insides are worn out, but if they are worn out, she has to endure it, because Luo Cheng is really a devil.

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Guanyin's thigh, "But I see that your riding skills have improved a lot."

Zheng Guanyin gave Luo Cheng a blank look, and wanted to urge the horse to move forward, but Luo Cheng stretched out his arms and hugged her to his horse.

Feeling her back pressed against Luo Cheng's chest, especially the hot breath he exhaled directly behind her ears, Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but blush instantly.

In any case, she had never been so close to any man before. Even though she often went out with Li Jiancheng before, Li Jiancheng didn't dare to overdo it.

"The surname Luo, please show some respect!"

"Why? The Zheng family has already given you to me. I gave you a choice at the beginning and let you stay. But since you chose to stay, why do you say such things now?"

Zheng Guanyin didn't know why she wanted to go to Luo's house in the first place, and she didn't understand why she hadn't left yet.

For more than a month, she was like a rough envoy in the Duke of Chu's mansion. Not only Shan Shi ordered her, but even Cui Shi didn't look good at her.

Only the girl from the eldest grandson's family and Li Sanniang were more polite.

Qi Wang Yang Hao rode his horse over.

His eyes swept over Zheng Guanyin's face, and then landed on her chest and thighs.

"Chu Guogong, why are you so violent? If Chu Guogong doesn't like her, how about giving it to Xiao Wang?"

Zheng Guanyin was extremely disgusted by Yang Hao's undisguised gaze. Yang Hao's reputation was very bad, and he did many ridiculous things when he was young. People, grab it when you see it.Even after seeing them on the street, they sent people to follow them, and then went to snatch them at night.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"King Qi, there are many beautiful women in the world, but this little girl is mine. Although she has a bit of a temper, I like to tame this kind of strong woman. A man should drink the strongest wine and ride the strongest." The fiercest little girl on the horse, King Qi, don’t you think so?”

Yang Hao laughed out loud at what Luo Cheng said.

"Interesting, I didn't expect Duke Chu to be such an interesting person. I heard so many stories about you killing enemies in bloody battles, and I thought you were a cold-blooded and cruel person."

"Since the Duke of Chu is reluctant to part with this little girl, then I will not take away people's love."

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he glanced at Zheng Guanyin with regret, and then galloped forward again.

Luo Cheng smiled and said to Zheng Guanyin, "Don't play with me, or you will offend me, and I will send you directly to King Qi."

"you dare?"

"Why don't I dare, the Zheng family gave you to me to deal with, I think it is my freedom to send you to King Qi. Even in Liaodong, I might throw you into the women's camp."

"If you treat me like this, I would rather die." Zheng Guanyin said angrily.

The curtain of the carriage next to it was lifted, and the eldest grandson Wugou of Guanyin's servant poked out his lovely head.

"Grandpa, don't keep scaring Sister Zheng. Sister Zheng, get on my carriage quickly. I'm in a panic. Let's play backgammon together."

Zheng Guanyin writhed in Luo Cheng's arms, Luo Cheng kissed her earlobe, and then slapped her buttocks, "Go, and accompany my Guanyin maidservant."

Speaking of which, the names of these two people are interesting, one is nicknamed Guanyin Maid, and the other is called Guanyin.

Mrs. Hei Lin Liangyu snorted beside her, "You are a big man, how dare you bully a weak girl like this?"

Luo Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch her chest, making her scream.

"This is a kind of training. The current Zheng Guanyin is just like the two of you sisters back then. Look at the two of you, can't you leave me now?"

"Shameless." Lin Liangyu clutched her chest and almost blushed.

Luo Cheng burst out laughing.

Come on a Mercedes.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, someone from the Zheng family in Xingyang has come, saying that they want to invite the Commander-in-Chief to the Zheng family for a banquet."

Luo Cheng snorted coldly, "The Zheng family invited me to a banquet. I'm afraid that the banquet will not be a good one, so they say that the commander-in-chief is not free and has to hurry. I will come to the door next time when I have time."

Since Luo Cheng brought Zheng Guanyin into the mansion, and then refused to give her any title, and used her as a servant, when the news got out, the Zheng family was furious.

Many gentry also condemned Luo Cheng, but Luo Cheng didn't care at all, or this effect was what he wanted.

The abuse of these noble families became a talisman for him, Luo Cheng.

It can make him more trustworthy with the emperor.

After the team passed Xingyang, there were more and more teams joining Luo Cheng's team along the way. They were all the family members of the soldiers who had moved to Liaodong, and they also followed to Liaodong.

There are also some rebels and bandits who participated in the rebellion escorted by the local yamen, as well as their family members.

Under Luo Cheng's suggestion, the emperor changed his previous policy of killing the rebels if they caught them, and changed them to exile the rebels, looters and thieves, once they were caught, to the frontier under the jurisdiction of Wudao Jiedushi. , according to the principle of proximity, whichever channel is closest to it will flow to whichever channel.

Basically, the exiles from Henan, Hebei, Hedong and Huainan were all sent to Liaodong Pass.

Luo Cheng welcomes these people very much.

To Zheng Guanyin's secret surprise, Luo Cheng even rewarded the officers and officers who escorted the refugees here with a lot of rewards for bringing them here.

Not only that, while Luo Cheng was walking, he also sent people around to recruit refugees.

For those people who have been homeless and wandering around due to natural disasters and bandits, a recruitment order was issued, describing many good immigration prospects, and let them go to Liaodong with them.

For many hungry people who are suffering from hunger, as long as Luo Cheng is willing to give them a bite to eat, they are willing to follow Luo Cheng.

As for whether they were recruited by the court's Crown Prince Taifu, Crown Prince Zuo Wei, General Zuo Tunwei, Jiedushi of the Zhongwu Army, Duke Luo Cheng of the Chu State, or some Caotou King who raised the flag to revolt, they didn't think it mattered. What a difference.

From Zheng Guanyin's point of view, Luo Cheng is very bold, and he obviously understands the thoughts of the refugees.Everywhere he went, he always asked people to set up a big pot first, then started cooking porridge and stewing meat, and then sent people to set up a recruitment banner, beat gongs and drums, and shouted everywhere.

Doing so is undoubtedly against court rules.After all, these people belonged to each county. Even if there is a famine now, after the famine, as long as they are not dead, they have to go back to their original places, and they are still the people of the county magistrates.

Now Luo Cheng is taking advantage of the fire to rob and recruit people away. This is a reckless act.

But this trick is undoubtedly very effective. Every time a town passes by, Luo Cheng's team will grow a little bigger.

Along the way, the smoke and dust billowed, and behind some elite cavalry, countless hungry people slowly followed northward, such a big battle, even countless counties in front thought it was a large group of rebels who had killed them , Shocked and hurriedly closed the door and closed the city.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng would always send troops to explain, and then ask them for some food. This city fetched hundreds of shi, and that county got dozens of shi. The team kept expanding, but Luo Cheng was not short of it. Grain, and even slowly save a lot of food.

"In this way all the way to Linyu Pass, we estimate that we can gather 5 people." Wei Zheng admired Luo Cheng's method of pulling people's heads very much.

"Hey, there are too many hungry people. Although when I was in Luoyang, I felt that the world was peaceful and the lights of the Lantern Festival were extremely bright, but when I left Luoyang, there were hungry people everywhere. Compared with when we first marched northward a few years ago, not only did it not get better, but it got worse." Luo Cheng sighed.

"The building will fall, and no one can stop it." Wei Zheng also sighed, "I hope Liaodong outside the pass can become a pure land!"

"Break through the barrier and go!"

On the road, there are people singing songs from time to time, breaking through the customs, leaving their homes and leaving the customs, there is fertile black land outside the customs, there are no wars and bandits outside the customs, breaking through the customs, leaving their hometowns and passing outside the customs...
Some people believe that there is no war and banditry outside the customs, but more people just because they can have two meals a day with Luo Cheng, for these two meals, they are willing to go to the ends of the world with Luo Cheng.

Because if you don't follow, you may starve to death.

Hebei.

Douzigang.

Hundreds of miles away in Yanze Douzigang, there used to be dozens of bandits, large and small, but now there is only one family left, and that is the Ministry of Changle King Dou Jiande.

Today's Dou Jiande has [-] soldiers and horses who have been carefully trained by him, including [-] heavy cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] infantry.

These eight thousand soldiers and horses are not a mob like Gao Shida was back then, but he selected young and strong men, as well as a lot of county soldiers and government soldiers who came to vote, trained them strictly, and fought with him for more than ten years. battle.

In addition, there are more than [-] refugees hidden in the salt marshes hundreds of miles away. These are all defected to him, Dou Jiande. There are not only the family members and friends of his [-] subordinates, but also the people who came to vote in Henan and Hebei. Now they all serve him. be king.

On the one hand, Dou Jiande led his troops to fight everywhere. He is now mainly black and white, beating those small groups of thieves and robbing them of the supplies, money and food they plundered. Produce salt, and then sell salt, earning a lot of money.

It is precisely because of this strategy that Dou Jiande now dominates the eastern part of the Hebei Canal, and Zhang Jincheng in the west and Wang Xuba in the north are known as the three heroes of Hebei. The active attack of the army.

"My military order tells all brothers to leave the canal for [-] miles. If they encounter the Duke of Chu's team, they will retreat immediately. No one is allowed to provoke the Duke of Chu."

"Whoever dares to disobey our military order and provoke Luo Shuai, I will hunt him down to the ends of the earth!"

After Luo Cheng entered Hebei, Dou Jiande issued an order immediately, and asked his subordinates to pass on hero stickers to other heroes from all walks of life in Hebei.

"Why?"

"One, Luo Cheng is my old handsome man, and I have been kind to me. I must be courteous when he crosses the border this time."

"Secondly, Luo Cheng is killing God and Rentu. If anyone provokes him, it will cause trouble for him. I don't want such a thing to happen."

"So the best way is to give them a gift to cross the border. Don't provoke them if you can."

　Thanks to Liu Angang, Fengye Dingding, Hua Xiaoyun, and Dameng Wansheng for their rewards, thank you!
