Traveler Major League

Chapter 6 After the War
On the same day, more than 316 people were beheaded before the battle, and the remaining [-] civilian soldiers were all captured. More than [-] pairs of spears, shields and waist knives were seized, two heavy grain carts, and four mules, horses and livestock. There are also some miscellaneous things that cannot be calculated.

The most important thing is that there are finally horses. After counting, it is found that there are twelve fully equipped horses that can be ridden. Although these horses are not even war horses, it is better to have than to have nothing.

It only took less than an hour to achieve such a great result. Everyone was inspired by this, and they were full of energy. They even said that they didn't enjoy the fight at all!
Everyone clapped their hands excitedly, the dog official was finally beaten off his horse, it was really a joy!

But this horse pawn is really a character, the exciting scene of him fighting in front of the battle in the daytime is still vivid in my memory, what a man!If his heart can be used on the right path, maybe he can still make a difference!
Liu Ze shook his head, what was he thinking!There is no real right way in this troubled world, but it's all for survival!

Besides, what I think is the right way is not the right way that people in this era agree with!

Liu Ze sighed, and turned his attention to the casualties. The only casualties in the team were concentrated in the battle to kill Ma Dianji and his group. Everyone dug a few dead brothers and buried them on the spot. Then take them back to the village for treatment.

It was late at night after all the prisoners and supplies were transported to Majiazhai.

Hundreds of captives were tied up and thrown on the square in front of the village. They obeyed and knelt on the ground, but their expressions were full of stubbornness and disobedience.

There is a row of human heads at the front. They are the heads of the dozen or so Gongmen people headed by Ma Dianli. They are bloody and look terrible. These heads were all chopped off by a bald man named Gouge. of.

Liu Ze didn't know how Brother Gou chopped off the heads of these people, was it as simple as chopping fish heads?Of course, Liu Ze didn't dare to think about it.

He looked at those bloody heads, and thought of the woman carrying the baby in the square during the day, and his stomach was overwhelmed. He just wanted to find a place where he could vomit, but he didn't dare to vomit. , did not dare to say much, could only endure the discomfort, followed the team silently, and stood in the corner of the square.

Brother Gou's voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"There are not a few people who know me, I am a black dog! My ancestors have been farming, honestly, but these years droughts and locust plagues have continued year after year. My mother left all the dry food to me and my father. She eats rare food every day. , eating bark and wild vegetables, starved to death! That dog county magistrate sent people to urge food and taxes every day, and even robbed wheat seeds. My father refused to accept reasoning with them, but he was beaten to death! That's why I followed Second brother, keep me alive, but the dog county magistrate still doesn’t change, and now it’s getting worse! This old thing in Majiazhai wants to eat us, so that we can’t live! You have been recruited by the government! Errands, how many people have surplus food at home?" Wiping his bald head, Brother Gou's eyes were slightly red, and he continued, "Look at these heads, they are all luxurious people with heads and faces over the years, who don't know? Our second brother Today, all of them were cut off after a little trick, what should we do now? If we let you go, you will not escape your guilt, and now there is a shortage of food everywhere, so you can only starve to death when you go back home!"

Liu Ze didn't expect that Gou Ge, who is usually straightforward and ruthless, would have such a tragic past, so he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic towards him.

After hearing these words, the prisoners lowered their heads solemnly and remained silent.

Seeing this, the second elder brother climbed onto the top of a truck and said loudly: "Right now, the whole of Shaanxi is in disaster. To expect the imperial court to rescue the disaster is to search for the moon in the bottom of the water, and to pick up the stars in the sky. If you want it, you can't do it! All the villages in our area The villages don’t have much food in stock, what do you think they should live on? Right now, the only ones that have food in stock are the county treasury and a few grain stores in Chengcheng County! If we don’t think about it, the final result will be Everyone knows that either they were exploited and borrowed money, or the whole family starved to death! Today, I was forced to do such a big thing here! Not for anything else, just to survive! Right now the county is empty of soldiers and government officials, so Tomorrow morning, I am going to take people to Chengcheng to kill that dog official Zhang Yaocai, and open a warehouse to release food!"

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and the second elder brother saw this and continued: "We are only waiting to survive, killing dog officials is only for public revenge, and will never endanger the people! If the court blames me in the future, I will bear it alone, and you are willing to let me go." Will the food save the father and the people?"

At the beginning, only two or three people shouted "yes"! , the rest of the people look at me and I look at you, they don’t know what to do. After a while, more and more people start shouting “yes”. Said: "I would like to open a warehouse with my second brother to release food to help the people!"

After hearing this, the subordinates followed suit one after another: "I would like to open a warehouse with my second brother to release grain to help the people!"

The voice was louder and louder, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the dark night. The second brother and the black dog standing in front looked at the angry prisoners and showed satisfied smiles.

It was late at night, but the ancestral hall of the Majiazhai clan was still brightly lit.

After the second brother settled the captives, he also sent some people to take turns guarding the surrounding area. Although the overall situation has been decided, it is always right to be careful, after all, the horse clerk is a living example!
The rest of the key figures gathered in the ancestral hall to discuss the capture of the county seat tomorrow.

The second brother was naturally sitting at the upper hand, but he didn't say a word at this time. The second brother rested his forehead with one hand and the armrest of the seat with the other, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was worried.

Brother Yu sat on the right hand, also silent.

Liu Ze, the only person under Brother Yu who was proficient in literature and ink, also joined the discussion. He stood behind Brother Yu's chair and carefully observed the people present.

Although the second brother and the eldest brother Yu are very confident on the surface, they also find it difficult to capture the county seat and other major events that have not been done. After all, if they fail, the end will definitely be miserable. On the city wall, everyone scolded him.

Seeing this situation, Brother Gou took off a cloth towel from his bald head, and rubbed his scalp with his left hand. Seeing that no one was talking to the left and right, he couldn't help but started chatting: "Second brother, those soldiers today It’s so vulnerable, what’s there to be afraid of! At dawn tomorrow, I’ll go straight in before we get any news from the city, what else is there to think about?” Seeing no reaction from the crowd, he Wiped his shiny scalp and said: "I know that my second brother is worried that the old soldiers in the city are good at fighting. Although we have a large number of people, we have not practiced after all. However, there are hungry people everywhere inside and outside the city. As long as we attack the city With a wave of the banner at the gate, I don't think this Chengcheng will be able to hold on!"

Hearing this, several people in the seats next to him also showed joy and nodded in agreement.

The second elder brother glanced around the room, seeing that no one spoke, he said worriedly: "That's the way it is, even though we won a big victory today, that guy surnamed Ma hurt more than a dozen of my best fighters, now I wait There are only about [-] of us who can be called elites. Let alone wielding knives and guns and practicing battle formations, even if they walk on the official road tomorrow, they may get scabies and toads on the pepper tree, and their hooves and claws will be numb. Move around!"

The rest of the people listened to the second brother's words, and all smiled, looking worried.

"Not to mention that there are other yamen servants, white servants, city guards, rich family servants, etc. in the city." The second brother looked at the expressions of everyone, and hesitated to speak.

Seeing that there was no one answering for another long time, Liu Ze thought that his chance to express himself had come!

I usually like to delve into history, so I can easily grasp the matter of marching and fighting!
If this strategy is well presented, it is inevitable that the second brother will reuse himself in the future, and then rely on the knowledge accumulated in the past to make some inventions and creations, and he will not become the second in command like Brother Yu!Those younger brothers must not follow behind him and call him Brother Ze!
Thinking of this, Liu Ze felt elated. After thinking for a moment, he said loudly to everyone, "Second brother, don't worry. As Brother Heigou said, we just need to catch him by surprise! After occupying the city gate, we will Immediately call on the hungry people inside and outside the city to open warehouses to release food. We are not rebelling, but just to save the people from the fire and water. How can the hungry people not help us? This time, the second brother will surely do what he wants!"

"Then there are dozens of miles from here to the county seat, how can we catch him by surprise?" Brother Yu also raised a question.

Liu Ze thought for a while and replied: "What's so difficult about this? We can pretend to be today's strong soldiers, say that we have harvested food from the bandits on the road, and send people to the county government to deliver food to the captives, and then load it on the food truck. Put on the weapons, and the others will scatter around for protection, and when they reach the gate of the city, the others will pretend to be spectators, and then they can move out in full force, killing with one blow!"

After talking about it in this way, everyone laughed happily, thinking that it was just for this reason that old people were not as clear-headed as newcomers!What a fan of the authorities!
Under the dim light, everyone looked at Liu Ze with admiring eyes, but Brother Yu looked at Liu Ze with strange eyes.

In order to be on the safe side, everyone asked Brother Yu to bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and draw a pattern for everyone in the house to see. Facing the pattern, they explained the truth and reality inside and outside the county. He has been doing business in the county for many years, and he often walks through the streets and alleys on weekdays. Therefore, wherever there are granaries and warehouses, where there are wealthy families, and where there are soldiers and horses stationed, it is just a piece of cake for him.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, only the second brother and brother Yu remained in the house, and brother Yu told Liu Ze to leave first.

Although Liu Ze was curious, he obediently closed the door and left.

But what he didn't know was that just after he left, Big Brother Yu whispered something in Second Brother's ear: "I don't think Liu Ze can be trusted!"
