Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230 Liaodong Great Expansion (8)

Early the next morning, Liu Wei took Wei Yan and Huang Xu to have an early breakfast, then stepped on the horse and ran to the north of Xuantu County.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Yan asked a little puzzled.

"As for, why not, in my territory, using my name, and then oppressing the people, pretending that I don't exist!"

Liu Wei said angrily.

"But, if we go so quickly without any preparation, aren't we afraid that they will find out who we are?"

Wei Yan asked anxiously.

"This! That's right, we have to make good preparations. In this way, let's put the horses in the hands of Xuantu County soldiers first, and let's change a few poor horses to investigate!"

After speaking, Liu Wei stayed with Wei Yan and Huang Xu and returned to Xuantu County.

When he arrived at the barracks, Liu Wei couldn't reveal his identity, so he ordered Wei Yan to take the seal to find the general who defended Xuantu County.

After seeing Wei Yan's seal, the general was neither humble nor overbearing, he just saluted Wei Yan, and then temporarily stored all three of their war horses in the barracks, and gave them three old nasty horses.

Liu Wei and the three of them were on the road again.

"My lord, there seems to be a village ahead, should we go in and have a look?"

Wei Yan saw the curling smoke from a long distance away.

"No, it's still very close to Xuantu County, and there are soldiers stationed nearby. We can't investigate here, because if anyone here dares to make trouble, Zilong will know! Let's continue to go further."

After finishing speaking, the three of them continued to move forward and walked for about two hundred miles. Although the surrounding land was planted with Shuli, the population gradually became less populated. It was not until evening that they saw a small village.

"It's right here. I guess there must be a city in front of it, and it's far away from Xuantu County. It's very likely that someone will make trouble here!"

Liu Wei reined in his horse and said to Wei Yan and Huang Xu.

"Well, I listened to Wei Ge!"

Huang Xu didn't understand anything, so Liu Wei said what he said.

The three of them walked into the village. There were many new wooden houses in the village, and there were also many mud houses under construction, but many people were downcast, and they seemed to be no different from the people they saw in Youzhou.

Liu Wei stopped an old man and asked: "Old man, there are so many people newly moved to this village, shouldn't it be the construction of new residences, houses, and land distribution in full swing? Why are they all listless?"

"Hey, you are from a foreign country. You don't know this place. Many people think that they can get a large piece of land when they come here. They even create their own plantations like many people in Liaozhou. Slaves, and then live a good life, but who would have thought that we were all cheated!"

The old man glanced at Liu Wei, and then said dejectedly.

"Cheated? By whom?"

As soon as Liu Wei heard the old man say that they had been cheated, he immediately tensed up, thinking to himself that he might be talking about it.

Sure enough, the old man gritted his teeth and said: "Who else is it? It's not that Liu Wei. He lied to us that we can live a good life when we arrive in Liaozhou, and he will treat us equally, but who would have thought that this bastard, After he tricked us here, he asked us to do coolies for him, so that we can have a full mouthful of food and not be starved to death by this cheater."

"Who do you say is..."

As soon as Huang Xu heard the old man say that Liu Wei was a liar, he quit immediately and wanted to argue with the old man, but was held back by Liu Wei.Shaking his head at him.Signal him to keep quiet.

"Old man, you see, we have been driving for a day, can you let us go to your house to rest, and then tell us in detail what is going on, to be honest, I took these two younger brothers I just want to get some land here, buy some slaves, and also want to open a plantation!"

Liu Wei said.

"Here! Well, then you can come to my house to stay for one night first, but let me tell you, little brother, you must not stay here, this place is full of beasts that eat people without blinking an eye! Come with me!"

The old man brought Liu Wei and the three of them to his house, and brought out three bowls of Shuli rice, and said to Liu Wei: "Three little brothers, old man, I really don't have anything to entertain you at home, so I can only share it with you." Here are three bowls of rice for you. I hope you don't mind!"

"It's okay, it's okay, we are all from poor families, as long as we have something to eat, don't dislike it, don't dislike it!"

The three of Liu Wei ate a mouthful of rice, then sat down, and then Liu Wei chatted with the old man.

"Old man, what do you mean by those words, can you tell us in detail!"

Liu Wei asked.

"Hey, it's a long story, and it has to start from a few months ago, when we first came here!"

The old man was sitting on a chair, talking to Liu Wei slowly.

"We came here a few months ago. Everything was fine. The government gave us two hundred catties of rations each, divided the land for us, gave us seeds, and farm tools, and even brought over a dozen A big cow, said to be used for spring plowing, our group is full of energy, and every day we dream about it, because the twenty acres of land can not pay rent for several years, and the grain produced is our own. Plant some vegetables, raise some livestock, and those little days are also very good."

When he said this, the old man's face was covered with a smile, and then he paused, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, and he said bitterly: "But within a few days, a group of soldiers and gangsters came When we came to the village, we were all summoned to the entrance of the village. Among those who pointed at us, one person even said that we would be under his control in the future, and that we would hand over half of our grain to him every year. You can go to him to pay the money before you can reclaim the land, and then he wants to take the cattle away, saying that you have to rent them from him if you want to use them, otherwise they won’t let us use them. Then what can we do? A young man reasoned with them, but this group of people couldn't help but take up the weapons in their hands and beat us. Several people were injured. Zhang Dalong, the son of the old Zhangtou, was very skilled and injured several of them. As a result, they stabbed Zhang Dalong with a long spear. They also said that whoever dares to resist again will be killed!"

The old man continued with a bitter face, "Tell me, what's the point of us coming here? We want to leave, but they stop us and refuse to let anyone dare to leave. They will break their legs. Now we can't go, stay. You can't stay, you said what are you doing here, it's better to leave early!"
