Wuhu Mingyue

In the early morning of December 311, 21 AD, in a village in Huangjin County

"Folks!"

"Dear ones!"

"Everyone come out!"

"Stop hiding!"

"We are the army, and we are here to help you!"

Deputy Superintendent Wang yelled for a long time, but he didn't even see a single villager, so he glared viciously at the refugee who was captured by him as a "guide"

"General, general, the little ones dare not lie to the general! They must be hiding. Every time there are thieves, they will hide. This village is a bit remote, and there are not many thieves who usually come, so the little ones will never come. I believe they've all run away."

"What the hell do you mean by that?!"

"No, no, I'm not saying that the general is a bandit! Absolutely not! The general must not misunderstand the villain!"

Deputy Superintendent Wang snorted angrily, and then immediately yelled at everyone: "Have you all heard that?! Go! Let me search from house to house!"

Soon after

A group of old and weak women and children trembling with fright were brought to the front of Deputy Governor Wang by a dozen young men.

"Deputy governor! The old, weak, sick, disabled, orphans and widowed mothers were found in the whole village, and none of the young and old were found! But we found all the places where they hid food."

"Hey, those old bastards really know how to hide. They all hide in a large hidden cellar! It seems that they often hide like this!"

"Oh?! Then how did you find them?!"

"Hehe, the little one likes to sneak around since he was a child, and he also has expert advice, so after all, the little one found some clues."

Deputy Governor Wang nodded expressionlessly. He didn't even look at the "guide" who was glared at by the villagers and cowered in fear. Instead, he just stared intently at the few young women in the crowd.

The women's faces turned pale with fright, some turned their heads and did not dare to look into the eyes of Deputy Governor Wang, and some directly hid behind their relatives

Deputy Governor Wang unconsciously licked his dry lips, and immediately there were a few people who knew how to pull those women out of the crowd

"What are you doing?! Aren't you officers and soldiers?! Do you still want to rob civilian girls?!"

"Your mother's old bastard! Our general is a descendant of a wealthy family! If he can take a fancy to your daughter, it means that your ancestors have accumulated virtue in previous lives!"

"Bah! What officers and soldiers!? The old man thinks you are more shameless than the bandits! And the accent you speak is not our Liangzhou dialect. Who are you?!"

A slap in the face!

The pawn who took the lead in pulling people was suddenly staggered a few steps

But before he came back to his senses, he was kicked and knocked to the ground by Deputy Governor Wang who rushed over suddenly

"What are you doing?! Bullying the common people?! Beast! Come on, take him aside and beat him with twenty sticks!"

"General! Spare me! Ah!"

The pawn kept screaming loudly

But Deputy Governor Wang was completely indifferent, and even just quietly watched the stunned villagers

A moment later

The pawn has been knocked unconscious

Deputy Governor Wang said sincerely to the old man who had scolded them before, "Old man, I'm really sorry for scaring you just now! When we return to Huangjin County together, I will definitely tell General Zhang to let him Dispose of these scum who do not obey military discipline!"

The old man, however, looked at the smiling Deputy Governor Wang in amazement, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.

"Thank you General for your help, otherwise the little girl's father"

Seeing that the woman behind the old man was about to kneel and thank him, Deputy Governor Wang quickly stretched out his hand to help him, but suddenly thought of something, so he endured it

The old man also didn't expect that the young Deputy Governor Wang would be so polite, he just signaled her daughter not to kneel down, and didn't take the opportunity to reach out to touch her body, and couldn't help but feel a little more trust

"Girls don't have to do this, it's because we didn't do well enough"

Deputy Governor Wang once again clasped his fists to the father and daughter sincerely, and then said loudly to the people who still looked frightened: "My lord, Wang Xiaoba, Mr. Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou, invited the reinforcements. We Now we have taken back the Golden County, and have sent troops to attack Tangluo Road and Xixiang County, and soon we will send troops to Chenggu County to wipe out all the banditry as soon as possible!"

a gust of wind blows

Wang Xiaoba's impassioned words were like a pebble thrown into a big river, without any splash

Villagers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say a word

Embarrassed, Wang Xiaoba immediately rolled his eyes, and said to the father and daughter again: "Old man, we are here to take all the people in your village back together. You can tell the people who are hiding in your village. All the strong laborers from outside will come back.”

"What kind of strong labor?! There is no strong labor in this chaos?! Even if there were, they would have escaped long ago. Only we old and weak women and children can't move, so we will stay here and wait for death."

"Old man! You don't want to toast or eat fine wine! Our general speaks nice things about you, but you are so ignorant?!"

The old man sneered and glared at the pawn who was speaking, then looked at the ashen-faced Wang Xiaoba with disdain

"Come here! Pull those women out for me, and bring the others back to Jinxian County!"

"Beast! What are you going to do?!"

"Hmph, we are officers and soldiers, and we will never do anything to harm the people. We just asked these young ladies to tell those young men you hid, come to Huangjin County to reunite with you! After all, the banditry is so serious now sharp"

"You bastard!!!"

"Let's go! Take all the food back! Others continue to look for the village, don't "invite" them all back to the county!!!"

At the same moment, the city wall to the east of Huangjin County

Zhang Wei looked at another group of people not far from the city with a smile on his face, but couldn't help but glance sideways at Ma Xun, who was expressionless.

"Hey, why didn't Brother Ma ask me a word?!"

"Zhang Shoubei can gather all the people in the city to protect them. He really loves the people like a son."

"Hahaha! Thank you, thank you! Zhang is just trying to do his best! After all, the army is in chaos. If the common people are retaliated by those damned thieves because of our arrival, wouldn't it be our fault?! Now Brother, since I am the lord of this county, I naturally have to think about the common people so that they will not all be killed by bandits."

"It's still Zhang Shoubei who thinks about Zhou Xiang. Ma Xun really admires him."

"Hahaha! We are all brothers, so you don't need to be so polite! And if it wasn't for Brother Ma, you would give me all the horses to deploy, and I would have no way to protect these scattered people. Later, when we get rid of the banditry in Liangzhou , I will definitely write to Marshal Jia to ask for credit for Brother Ma!"

Ma Xun immediately pretended to be grateful and thanked: "Then Lao Zhang will guard and support the brothers a lot."

"Hahaha! It's easy to say! It's just a matter of lifting a finger! Hahaha!"

And right now!

"Report! A large group of people came from outside the west gate, and they all said they escaped from Chenggu County."
