The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 273 Robbery from the Rich and Giving to the Poor

Weining's army set out from Chang'an in the spring sun and headed north.

Along the way, you need to cross the Jing River, enter Shuofang from Beidi County, pass Shang County and then reach Shuofang County, then cross the Yellow River from Shuofang County to the west and arrive at Wuwei County, the four counties in Hexi.

Wei Ning was very familiar with the march route heading north. He had followed Wei Qing's army once two years ago, and he knew all the routes by heart.

This is also the reason why Weining doesn't want to go northwest and then north, because he is not familiar with that route, and he is not familiar with both sections of the journey.

At least one of the marching routes from north to west was familiar to him, which could ensure that one section was relatively safe.

When crossing the Jing River, Weining was extremely careful. He asked all the troops in Jingzhou to cooperate with him and escort his army across the Jing River.

With so much food, if something goes wrong on the water, it would be impossible to save it.

Fortunately, the journey across Jingshui was safe and we did not encounter any danger.

The next road into Shuofang is an official road, which is relatively safer.

About half a month later, in early February, his baggage troops had arrived at Shuofang's southern border.

The army set up camp on the spot. Zhao Ce found Weining with a map and water and handed the water to Weining.

He looked at the map and said to Weining: "General, we can reach Shangjun in two days, and we have to pass through the Dalang Mountain area."

Weining nodded. This mountain range was not high and had some ups and downs. Compared with the previous flat road, this mountain range seemed a little more difficult to walk.

It would be okay if you travel lightly, but escorting so much luggage will take time. The mountain roads are rugged and bumpy, so you need to be extra careful.

"Cheer up the soldiers."

"move on!"

"Here!"

The baggage army continued on its way. Two days later, on February 2, the dragon raised its head.

The entrance to the Langshan Mountains is the end of the official road. There is no official road built in the mountainous area, and the national strength and technology of the Han Dynasty do not allow it.

Both sides of this long and narrow strip are shantytowns made of cloth, with hundreds of vendors selling all kinds of food and tea on both sides.

In addition, merchants from the Evolution Mountains will rest here, and it has become a trade market voluntarily organized by the people in the south of Shangjun.

Wei Ning frowned slightly and said to Zhao Ce: "There are many people here, so brothers, please pay attention."

"Don't eat any food here. After buying the food, go on the road and eat again after entering the Dalangshan Mountain area."

"Here!"

Zhao Ce took the order to buy food. There was still a two-day mountainous journey ahead, and the large army had to be supplied with daily meals.

Wei Ning squinted and coldly inspected the people selling food and tea on both sides. They looked honest and courteous, but Wei Ning still noticed something was wrong.

He thought for a while and came to a tea stall. The stall was run by a peasant woman in her early twenties.

"How to sell tea?"

Wei Ning asked.

The peasant woman greeted Weining warmly and said, "Master Jun, a bowl of tea costs three yuan."

"You come to speak?"

"So expensive?" Wei Ning said, "You are robbing money!"

The peasant woman sighed: "Master Jun, you don't know. There is a mountain road ahead of us. We can't make much money just by setting up a stall. We have worked hard to carry the stall all the way here. The labor is much more expensive. The price is really high." It’s normal.”

Wei Ning hesitated for a while, then his expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand high and shouted loudly: "Get ready to fight!"

Zhao Ce was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly retreated in front of Weining!

More than a thousand soldiers, armed with bows and crossbows, aimed at these pavilions.

Wei Ning said harshly: "Cum for me!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows were fired, and screams were endless. Zhao Ce spurred his horse, drew out the pure steel sword in his hand, and led the Yulin family generals and hundreds of charging light cavalry troops to fight against the crowd!

They did not ask Weining why he issued this order or why he wanted to massacre the people. No matter who the opponent was, if the commander spoke, he would execute the military order!

The woman at the tea shop held a shield to block the incoming crossbow and said coldly: "Kill all the people?"

Wei Ning sneered: "Do you know how much a cup of tea costs in Shangjun? Three Wen!"

"You can't even figure out the prices of goods and you pretend to be a common man? Are you worthy?" The woman then realized that she had been fooled!

Just now, Weining deliberately said that the tea was expensive. She spent a long time explaining how this young man was so insidious!

"Kill them and steal the food!"

The woman spoke in a crisp voice, and the 'common people' who were supposed to be vendors on both sides suddenly changed and charged towards the officers and soldiers.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of this group of green forest robbers is obviously not on the same level as the long-trained Han soldiers.

Wei Ning held a long bow and sat on a horse, specifically targeting those with strong martial arts skills to shoot.

"Officer Dog! I'll kill you!"

The woman jumped up high and preyed on Weining like an eagle.

Wei Ning held a spear and smashed it above her with all his strength.

puff puff!

The woman was shot and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

His cold face quickly turned red.

You are a beautiful woman, how can you become a thief?

The battle could not last more than a stick of incense, and everyone was under control.

Zhao Ce held the woman hostage with a knife and came to Weining.

Wei Ning asked her: "Do you know what you are doing?"

The woman said coldly: "I know it! I'm here to hijack the food and grass!"

"The imperial court is rich in food, but do you know that the surrounding people are hungry?"

"What's wrong with me robbing the rich and giving to the poor? You don't have to pretend to show kindness. This is the usual trick of your court. If you want to kill, kill!"

Wei Ning glanced at her lightly and said, "Who said I was going to show my kindness in a pretentious manner?"

He was silent for a moment, then threw the spear towards the opponent's chest and penetrated directly into the opponent's chest. The woman's eyes widened and she fell down in disbelief.

She thought that Wei Ning would lecture her... She thought that Wei Ning would be sympathetic to her. After all, she was so pretty that many men in Xunri couldn't even walk away when they saw her...

"Kill them all!"

"Leave no one behind!"

"Here!"

Puff puff!

More than a thousand soldiers went on a killing spree, but after just one cup of tea, corpses were everywhere.

"Just keep going."

Wei Ning glanced back at the corpse behind him and frowned.

Zhao Ce rode up to Weining and said, "General, how did you know their identities?"

Wei Ning said: "Ordinary people don't stand up straight and set up stalls."

The common people of the Han Dynasty felt inferior to others and would bend slightly when selling goods to show respect to their customers.

Weining shook his head and said, "None of this is important."

"Why would someone rob our food and grass?"

"How many people know my route? Judging from their posture, they are obviously well prepared and have set up stalls here early to wait for us."

Zhao Ce said suspiciously: "Yes! Why?"

Wei Ning shook his head: "I don't know."

But no matter what, if something goes wrong with this batch of food and grass, Wei Ning's crime will be unpardonable.

Zhao Ce sighed: "I should have known I would have been left alive to ask."

Wei Ning smiled and said to Zhao Ce, "Do you think you can ask?"
