Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 164
Twenty miles north of Shunyang, in a manor.

A small school hurried into the backyard, bowed to Luo Zheng and said: "My lord, I have already found out."

Luo Zheng suddenly lifted his spirits and said: "Oh, how much food is there in Shunyang?"

Xiaoxiao said: "The general arrested several squires for interrogation. It is estimated that there are at least five thousand shi in Shunyang."

Luo Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely, and said decisively: "Five thousand stones is a lot of food, the mother did it, and robbed more than ten Zhuangziwu Forts, but it was only nearly ten thousand stones of military food. If you grab a few more counties, you will be worth it It’s what we’ve gained these days.”

The little school excitedly said: "There are [-] soldiers in Shunyang, do you want the villain to bring dozens of brothers into the city, thinking that the internal response?"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said with a sinister smile: "No, this general has his own tricks!"

Five miles north of Shunyang, a team of chariots and horses is speeding along the official road.

Recently, the powerful landowners in Shunyang have been terrified by the elusive Xililiang soldiers. There are no less than a dozen Zhuangzi who were attacked alone. Flee to the county seat.

With the protection of the city, and there are [-] soldiers in Shunyang, it can increase their sense of security to some extent.

This team of horses and horses is also a landlord and squire who is going to hide in Shunyang City to avoid disaster. The five carts are full of family members. There are no less than ten wives and concubines alone. and brought it on.

As for those who can't take it away, they can only take advantage of those damn Xiliang Army.

Dozens of Zhuang Ding guarded the chariot team and soon arrived at the north gate of Shunyang.

A fat squire sitting in a big cart lifted the curtain and looked at it, and couldn't help cursing.

There were too many people, all landowners and gentry waiting to enter the city.

Fortunately, those common people who were also waiting to enter the city had already been driven aside, allowing the gentry to enter the city first.The guards of the city gate gave the green light to these squires even more, as long as they paid enough city taxes, they would let them go without saying a word.

Although the people who were driven aside were furious, they did not dare to make trouble, and could only wait with suffocated resentment.

In the middle of the crowd, Luo Zheng had already changed into a servant's uniform worn by servants. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he immediately moved to the side quietly, and in the process of moving forward, he inserted a Behind the squire's servants.

It didn't take long, and the team soon arrived at the gate of the city.

The guard at the city gate recognized the squire, he didn't even look at the identity documents, he only collected the city entrance tax based on the head, the squire quickly entered the city, Luo Zheng followed behind, and got his wish, and successfully mixed into Shun In Yangcheng.

After entering the city, he flashed into a nearby street immediately.

In just five days, almost half of the landlords and gentry in Shunyang hid their families in Shunyang City.

Shunyang is just a small town, so many people rush in at once, it will be overcrowded immediately.Especially those landlords and squires who are used to being arrogant in the countryside, they are not very safe when they enter the city, which immediately makes the law and order in Shunyang worse.

Many people were beaten and had nowhere to seek redress, and some radicals went to extremes.

In just a few days, there were at least ten bloody incidents in Shunyang City.

In desperation, the Shunyang Commander had no choice but to order conscripts to go to the streets to patrol the streets. Whenever they found troublemakers, they would arrest them all, regardless of whether they were high or low. Only then did the slaves under the landlords and gentry restrain themselves.

At night, the lights in Shunyang City are lit up, making it very lively.

Landlords and gentry called for friends, played and sang constantly, and indulged in sex.

Every time the people in the city looked at those brightly lit places, there was hatred and hostility in their eyes.

It wasn't until after midnight that the city of Shunyang gradually quieted down.

At the time of the second watch, the watchman who works the watch walks through the streets and alleys to remind people to prevent fire and thieves.

Suddenly, the old watchman stopped abruptly, his eyes widened instantly.

In the alley ahead, the roadless cavalry quietly emerged from the darkness.

The old watchman's face turned pale instantly, and he opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.

Recently, the people in Shunyang are in a state of panic, being disturbed by a mysterious Xiliang cavalry, and there is no peace.Landlords and gentry fled to the city with their families, but very few people had seen this group of Xiliang cavalry.

The old watchman couldn't believe his eyes, how could there be so many cavalry in Shunyang City.

Could it be...

Only then did the dull old man think of the terrible consequences, and his expression changed wildly in an instant.

At this time, a military general like an iron tower rushed over quickly, and lifted the old watchman to a younger general like a chicken, and asked, "My lord, is this old guy killing me?" kill?"

Luo Zheng glanced at the watchman who had already been frightened and pale, and almost fainted, and waved his hand, "Forget it, this watchman is just an ordinary citizen, and it is not easy to make a living. Give him some settling money and let him go Bar!"

Xu Chu agreed, put down the old man immediately, stuffed a piece of silver into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "It's lucky for you, old man, to meet my lord. Get lost, or you won't be able to leave after a while."

The old man's shock was slightly settled, and he slipped away immediately without saying a word.

The soldiers and horses assigned by Luo Zheng pointed to the four centurions and ordered: "Quickly kill the four gates, and you don't have to come back after killing the guards of the four gates. Be sure to control the four hands. Without my military order, no one can be let out of the city. .”

"As ordered."

The four uncles roared loudly, and immediately rushed to the four gates with their hundred riders.

Luo Zheng then waved his hand and said sharply: "Go, go to the county government."

The remaining [-] cavalry responded with three calls, gathered in the crowd, and rolled away.

The night was no longer calm, and the tranquility on the long street was quickly broken.

There are thunderous hoofbeats everywhere, especially crisp at night.People were awakened from their sleep, and they all rubbed their eyes in a daze, not knowing what happened. Only those with quick brains changed their expressions immediately.

Soon the city of Shunyang exploded, and there were howls, screams, and shouts of killing one after another.

Landlords and gentry immediately became angry, this is not the Xiliang cavalry who took advantage of the night to enter the city, right?

The common people had to calm down a lot, and hid at home one after another, closed their doors, and waited for the night to pass.

Shunyang Ling was awakened from his sleep. He just got up from his concubine's warm embrace and put on his clothes. Before he ran out of the bedroom, a servant rushed in with disheveled hair and howled, "My lord, something is wrong." It’s too bad, wow!”

"Why panic, speak slowly!"

Shunyang Ling was frightened, and forced himself to calm down and let out a loud drink.

The servant cried: "The Xiliang cavalry has entered the city, it's over, it's all over!"

Frightened, and not caring about offending the master, the servant broke down and swears directly.

Shunyang Ling was taken aback, and said sharply, "Nonsense, how could Xiliang soldiers enter the city?"

The servant shouted: "Master, it's true, it's true!"

Shunyang Ling couldn't believe it, but at this moment, there was a thunderous sound of hooves rolling outside.

There was a sudden howling outside, and the servant who had just rushed out of the house was running and howling like a headless chicken.

Shunyangling was as shocked as a toad startled by thunder, with his mouth open, he didn't react for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, the servant who came to report the news had long since disappeared.

Shunyang Ling Lingling shuddered, and rushed back to the house, and when he was about to take his family to escape, the wolfish Xiliang cavalry had already rushed in, and quickly drove the panicked servants into a pile, but Anyone who resisted was killed on the spot.

Shunyang Ling was still going out, but Xu Chu blocked him, and they all became prisoners.

The battle came suddenly and ended quickly.

Luo Zheng's plan to close the door and beat the dog went very smoothly. The [-] soldiers in Shunyang City who had almost no combat effectiveness were caught off guard and could not resist the wolf-like Xiliang cavalry at all, and were killed immediately.

The four gates of Shunyang were also controlled by a hundred Xiliang cavalry, and anyone who took the opportunity to attack the gates was killed.

Luo Zheng even sent [-] cavalry to patrol the whole city, and all those who took the opportunity to make trouble and went to the streets without authorization were killed.

When the shouts and screams gradually subsided, more than an hour had just passed.

Not only did Shunyang go up to the county magistrate, down to the small officials, none of the officials, big or small, ran away.Those landlords and squires who took refuge in Shunyang City in the past few days have become shackles, and they can only wait for the judgment of fate with a pale face.

Xu Chu personally led [-] cavalrymen, ransacked the houses from house to house, and punished all the neighbors who used to be fish and meat.

It was not until dawn that the raids came to an end.

Luo Zheng ordered people to open the granary in the city and empty out all the more than 6000 stone army rations.

Xu Chu ordered people to bring over 50 large books, all of which were gold and silver treasures.

"How come there are so many?"

Luo Zheng couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw so many goods.

Xu Chu's black face turned red with excitement, and he said loudly: "My lord, I don't know, those landlords and squires brought everything they could bring to Shunyang City. Damn rich."

Luo Zheng nodded again and again: "Yes, very good, this is really unintentional, those landlords and squires brought all the goods they could bring to Shunyang, and it saved the general from spending time and effort to search."

Xu Chu laughed excitedly, the feeling of ransacking the house was really great.

Luo Zheng asked again, "Are there any casualties in our army?"

Xu Chu said: "There were no casualties, only one horse stumbled and fell and was injured."

Luo Zheng just nodded, "Well, it's good if there are no casualties, continue to take people to search, in addition to goods, there are fine iron, armor and other things that our army can use, don't let them go, give them all The general brought it."

"As ordered."

Xu Chu obediently obeyed and hurried away.

It was dawn, but the four gates of Shunyang were still closed, and there was no sign of opening them.

The country gentry and common people waiting to enter the city crowded at the gate of the city, and the crowd was excited, shouting to open the city gate quickly.

But no matter how they shouted and cursed, there was no movement on the top of the city, not even the soldiers guarding the gate could be seen.

It wasn't until the sun rose that the four gates of Luoyang were opened one after another. However, what happened, the country gentry and commoners who were waiting outside the city to enter the city dropped their jaws in shock. , with a pale face, rushed out of the city crying and screaming, and ran for his life crying and running without even caring about the direction.

Luo Zheng mixed in the crowd who escaped from the city, and quietly left Shunyang.

When the people waiting outside the city who were about to enter the city found out what happened, they were blown up on the spot. Wherever there were people who dared to enter the city, they all dispersed and fled for their lives, and reported the news as soon as possible. spread.
