Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1544 Unexpected disaster

The sun is already in the afternoon, and in one or two more hours, the sky will almost be dark. Originally, the days in autumn and winter are short. When the cold wind blows, it will become shorter every day in November. .

  In the northwest of Anhan, about thirty or forty miles away, there is a mountain depression called Lijiagouzi, and there is a Lijiazhai in Lijiagouzi. In the fields near Lijiazhai, there are groups of farmers and women who are busy with the last few Zhuanghe affairs.

It’s almost winter, and the harvesting needs to be done, and the field must be turned over once, or it will be hard to plow the field in the spring after a season of freezing in winter, and the field has been used for a long time. It's been a year, and some of the ash from Zhuanghe stalks mixed with weeds should be hoeed to the ground, so as to get some fertilizer and add some field power, so that there will be a good harvest next year.

  No matter how chaotic the world is, people still have to eat.

  The same is true in Sichuan and Sichuan. Even though the three-party battles are chaotic, food is something that people need to grow mouths to live. Zhuanghe and so on, what should be planted...

I originally thought that there would be a big war this year. If so, it would be equivalent to Zhuang He who had been planting for nothing for a year. When I came to An Han, the result was that Li's village's harvest was at least 30% lower than in previous years!

The harvest has decreased by 30%, and in addition to the old saying that there will be wars and wars, as a result, these days, no soldiers have been seen fighting with swords and guns, and even the entire autumn harvest has not encountered any harassment of soldiers and horses. These people from Sichuan and Shu naturally slowly let go of their hearts, and they don't look like they are all soldiers.

The mountains have always been very closed, and you can only meet the next village after walking for miles and miles. Therefore, the people in the Lijiazhai are both nervous about the dangers from the outside world and have no idea. They talk to each other when they are working in the fields. They couldn't imagine where to go, just like in their imagination, the emperor of the Han Dynasty must have plowed the land with a golden hoe.

Even so, the people in charge of the Li family village still have more knowledge than ordinary folk husbands and women. The sentry tower was refurbished, and a few training sessions were organized, which was dusty and impressive, so it was somewhat reassuring.

The defense system of the village is actually similar to that in World of Warcraft. If there is a change, the warning gong in the village will sound, and the peasants working outside will flee to the village desperately, and then rely on the half-baked rammed earth about two people high. The stone wall was used for defense, and firewood was piled high in the middle of the village. If they really encountered a large army, they would light up the beacon and ask for help from the distant villages, or even the city of Anhan...

  Although this year's harvest has decreased, this year's autumn Fu is not missing! After receiving the Autumn Fu from Li's Village, the nobles in Anhan City also said that if Li's Village is in danger, they will come to help!

With this backing, plus this period of time has been peaceful, the people in the Li family village are somewhat less flustered psychologically. All a little slack.

Seeing that the sky is getting late, the old and the weak who are on duty at the sentry post, well, they are old and weak, and the young are all working in the fields. Is it possible that the old man has to work in the fields, so there will be a lot of chatter Wake up, without the vigilance of that time in the morning.

   People in the countryside, between gossiping, parents who are short-sighted, naturally slipped into matters between men and women within a short time. Among the people on duty, there was an older, middle-aged man who had never married a wife because his family was poor. A few days ago, there was a family in the village. First, it was hit by a disaster a few years ago. , and then passed away, even with the youngest, I don’t know why, maybe it was because I caught a cold when I was avoiding labor in the mountains, and I couldn’t survive it when I went back to the village. A poor little widow was left.

Normally speaking, if there is no male in the family, the parents of the field will take back the public land. As the family's public land, although this poor woman is quite beautiful, everyone is afraid that this woman's life will be too hard. So I dare not ask for it, so I want to drive out of the village. But this middle-aged man was not afraid, and married without hesitation. No, it became the biggest popular headline in the village during this period, and even in front of the middle-aged man, he was still ridiculed.

They may not all be so bad-hearted, but in the village, there is really nothing new to talk about, so they keep talking about these sesame and garlic-skinned things. It is inevitable that some people express concern about the things in the middle-aged man's house, and even Volunteering to do a little work for him...

The middle-aged man didn't think too much, he squatted in the corner with a grass root sleeve in his mouth, squinted his eyes, just smiled, and waited for others to rush, and then said slowly: "Before, when I was begging, I didn't see you. You guys dared to ask for it, but now that I have pulled him over, you are here to talk about this and that again... I am so easy to do, I don’t need you **** to bother! Besides, you guys, you can’t even control your own wife , still have this leisurely mind?"

  Or if a middle-aged man pokes a sore spot, someone will immediately refuse to follow. Pulling the middle-aged man will have to compete, not only comparing the size, but also standing on the edge of the sentry tower to see who can go farther...

The middle-aged man was so coaxed that he couldn't avoid it, so he laughed and grabbed someone for a competition. As a result, he just stood on the edge of the sentry tower, and when he was about to take off his robe, he suddenly froze there and couldn't get it out for a long time. When he came, the others immediately laughed and sat down in a ball, pointing fingers and laughing at the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man ignored them, showing a mouthful of yellow and black die, with a hoarse voice, pointing to the distance: "Then... what is that..."

With just one word, some people didn't take it seriously at first, saying that it was the old bachelor's evasive words, and they were about to laugh at it, but they looked up and saw a tricolor flag appearing on the mountain road in the distance, reflecting the setting sun The glow of the sun seemed to be blooming with brilliance, which hurt everyone's eyes.

   War, war!

Those who guarded the turret sentry tower suddenly remembered the sound of a gong warning, and the peasants working in the fields raised their heads subconsciously, and some reacted quickly by dropping their farm tools and ran into the village without thinking. , while others stared blankly, watching the tricolor flag getting closer.

   Shouts of panic, crying and shouting, sounded from inside and outside the village, mixed together in one place, disturbing the whole world, breaking the peace that originally belonged here...

  …………………

Wei Yan was under the tricolor flag, looked at the flustered peasants in Lijiazhai, sneered twice, and didn't urge the soldiers to move forward, but just walked forward without any haste. Shu Junzhai can be taken easily, and will such a folk village be regarded as a stumbling block?

  Beside Wei Yan is Du Hu.

After getting the promise from General Fei Qian who conquered the west, this king of renren immediately became more active. Hearing that he was going to attack Badong, Anhan and other places, he almost rushed to clear the road thorns for Wei Yan and others. guide direction.

After all, the people who belonged to Duhu had suffered a lot from Liu Qi and others in Badong County, and had also destroyed several cottages. They had long been full of resentment. In order to preserve Duhu's own reputation.

  Under the leadership of Duhu, the people on the side had red eyes with excitement, uttered some strange screams that they didn't know what they meant, and waved their knives and guns, wishing they could rush into Li's village and have a good time!

  The hatred between Han people and Hu people is often like this.

   According to the race, it is not a wrong practice to fight an eye for an eye or blood for blood, but if it is spread on the head of one of them, it is a purely unwarranted disaster.

   It was not the people from Lijiazhai who killed the rogues under Duhu's subordinates, but the people from Lijiazhai had to bear the anger of Duhu and other rogues. Is it wrong? There are mistakes, but they are very common. Even in later generations, isn’t it often the case when there are racial and religious conflicts?

   Wei Yan saw a warning beacon ignited in the Li family village, and three puffs of black smoke shot straight into the sky. He couldn't help smiling, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Go forward! Break down the village!"

In a blink of an eye, the well-trained soldiers of Zhengxi had already formed an array and began to attack the gate of Lijiazhai. Duhu, the king of the scorpions, also sent a team of scorpions to follow behind as an assistant. The soldiers marched to the left and right.

There are not many defensive measures, and there are not even a few flustered arrows in the Li family village. There is no need to use gunpowder at all. The heavy battle ax directly cuts open the latch and smashes open the gate of the village. After a while, the Lijiazhai in this small mountain depression was declared to have been breached.

   "Surferee, don't kill!" Wei Yan ordered, and then glanced at Duhu by the way.

   Du Hu nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, general, those who surrender will not be killed..." Before coming, Wei Yan had explained something, and those who resisted were naturally killed, but if they said they had surrendered, they could not be killed indiscriminately.

   "We are under the command of the great Han Zhengxi, not bandits! Those who surrender will not die!"

The young men in the Li family village still looked good during training, but when it came time to fight, they were all discouraged. Seeing Zhengxi's soldiers and the concubines rushing in, they yelled that there was a commotion Some people even turned around and ran away screaming strangely, "The stronghold is broken! The stronghold is broken!"

In Sichuan and Sichuan, there has been peace for a long time, not only Lijiazhai, most of the villages in Sichuan and Shu, even if the equipment is better than Lijiazhai, they are just competing with other villages for water sources Ah, the land or something, they just fought some chaotic battles, and almost none of them really went to the battlefield, so when they saw the real iron-blooded army approaching, they were only panicked.

   There used to be a sun-drying field in the village, which was also used for gatherings on weekdays, but now it is full of people from Lijiazhai. All the people in the village were driven out and gathered here. The one in the front was a gray-haired old man, standing tremblingly in the cold wind, seeing Wei Yan coming, he quickly crawled on the ground, first kowtowed his head, and then said tremblingly: "General... ...I don't know that the general came and offended Huwei...There is still some food and grass in the village, and the little old man is willing to dedicate it to the general...The people in the village are all kind people, old and young, and they can help the general in farming...Just General, please stop recruiting young men..."

The old man was chattering, lost his teeth again, his articulate words were not so clear, and he spoke vaguely for a long time, Wei Yan rolled his eyes, and seeing that the old man was going to continue talking, he raised his voice: "From here to the next village How far?"

   "Huh?" The old man took a long time to realize, and said, "About twenty miles..."

"General Zhengxi is kind, he can't bear to kill more people...Twenty miles, um, I will give you a day's rations, and you will go to the next village. If you don't evacuate within three days, don't blame me for being blind!" Wei Yan shouted in a deep voice.

"General!" The old man turned pale with shock, and the people in the Li family village behind him also cried out, "This is going to drive us out of the village, isn't it going to kill us! General Zhengxi is kind, so he showed mercy. Get around us! We are all innocent people..."

"Innocent?" Wei Yan clicked his tongue twice, and said, "I want to ask you, have you ever sent food and grass to Anhan? Do you know that the food and grass you sent helped Anhan Liu, so that Liu could send soldiers? , Kill us Zheng Xierlang?"

   "General! This... this general, we don't know, we are also being coerced... An Han soldiers forced us to pay food and grass, we have nothing to do..."

  Wei Yan laughed, "Isn't this the end! Anhan soldiers, you have nothing to do, should we deserve to be slaughtered by you?"

   "General! General..."

The old man in Lijiazhai was waiting to argue, but he saw that Wei Yan had already turned around, "If you want to blame, you have to blame General Liu of Anhan! He took your food and grass, but he couldn't protect you! I will give you an hour. Anyone who delays and refuses to go will be killed without mercy!"

The people in Lijiazhai were still thinking about talking about the conditions, but they saw the people on the side jumping out, waving knives and guns viciously, and driving these people out of Lijiazhai. With a sound, they were driven back and forth three times a step, like a flock of sheep, dragging their mouths to the next village.

"General..." Du Hu looked at the people in Lijiazhai who were filled with grief and indignation and slowly left, scratched his head somewhat incomprehensibly, and said, "We'll do this... the more people in Anhan, the more difficult it is to attack Is it?"

  Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Wrong, on the contrary, it's better to fight..."

  Duhu: "?"

   Wei Yan didn't continue to explain, but turned around and climbed up the wall of the village, watching the people in Lijiazhai weeping and squirming slowly forward, curling his lips slightly. For these people in Lijiazhai, it is indeed a disaster without reason, but under the shadow of war, who is not like this?

  With all the nests, are there any eggs left?
