373: Unexpected (three) [two in one](1/2)
The messenger of Luxia County looked at the "Lu" flag that was stained with dry blood and still stood on the charred half. After dismounting, he walked a few steps. He ignored the dirty ground and fell to the ground with his knees. The dull sound made people's knees hurt.
My eyes were red and tears could no longer stop flowing out.
A big gift to the city wall.
I also feel grateful to God for mercy.
The governor of Luxia County stopped and successfully dragged the reinforcements to arrive.
He whimpered and cried with excitement, but no one around him laughed at him for this - putting himself in his shoes, they might be more excited than the messenger, and they all thought that the Luxia County District had fallen before arriving at the capital.
If it falls, haha.
As the actions of these refugees spread everywhere, who doesn’t know what will happen to be targeted by these locusts?
Nine out of ten rooms are empty, and corpses are everywhere.
The bloody means of massacre are no less than Zheng Qiao's back then, and even more so.
You know, in the eyes of some outsiders, Zheng Qiao's methods are not very cruel - because Zheng Qiao's guy just instigated the soldiers to plunder and make money in the first seven days after the city was broken.
After these seven days, no evil will be allowed.
As for the massacre after the city was destroyed
In order to save money, the common people do everything they can. There are only places where they hide, and there is nothing they dare not hide. After conquering the city, the victorious side forced the common people to spit out money and use blood to shock the common people in the city to buy their lives. They must "kill the chicken to warn the monkeys". It depends on whether they think that things outside their bodies are important or the head on their necks is more important.
Looting women and children's enjoyment can only be considered an "additional item".
It is called—
"Reward" his brothers who followed him to fight south and north.
Only the lord who brings his brothers to make a fortune and makes his name together can win the support of the army and the loyalty of the soldiers.
This is basically a conventional unspoken rule - brothers stay away from their hometowns, follow the battles in the north and the north and fight for you, and put life and death in other places to fight, so they have to try something.
Who is willing to fight for the war without giving it good?
A soldier is also a human being and needs to support his family.
Is it enough military pay?
Or is it enough status and reputation?
That little military pay is not enough for the soldiers to eat, let alone send it home to adopt parents, wife and children.
The biggest income of soldiers is the "extra money" after siegeing cities and plundering land! Furthermore - blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, and other soldiers make money like this. The so-called "not disturbing the people or robbing" is very rare.
This is true for the "regular army" with military pay and rations, let alone those refugees who lack other things except for eating. In order to force out money and food from common people, their methods of acting will only be more thorough, ruthless and decisive!
The common people who were lucky enough to pick up a person and did not want to starve to death, so they had to join them and rob other places.
It's like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.
If the capital of Luxia County is lost, let alone living people in the city, they will not even keep a live chicken, duck, and earthworms, and the eggs laid by the old hens must be taken away in their arms. Survivors who can survive are basically lucky and hiding well.
The messenger's relatives were all in the capital.
The place of governance has not been broken and the family still exists.
Isn't this worth crying?
This is not embarrassing.
The messenger cried and his voice was hoarse. The guards on the city wall also saw the vast crowd. They thought it was a refugee bandit who came to attack the city again, so they hurriedly sent the message. The messenger ignored the pain in his throat and the Danfu luck extended the sound to the entire city wall.
"It's not the enemy!"
"It's reinforcements!"
"Heyin, Tianhai, Shangnan, and the four counties of Yiru come to help! Hunting is fortunate, so I beg Duke Lu to come out of the city to see him!"
Scream-
Not long after, the dilapidated city gate with patches was opened.
Run out to guard the troops.
The defenders carefully observed the messenger, took the token of the Lu County Magistrate from the messenger, and immediately turned back to the city. After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the Lu County Magistrate hurriedly drove out of the city under the escort of the two teams. However, the other party's face was a little dark.
Chen Tang rode on the back of a motorcycle.
Holding his fists: "Duke Lu, we met again. Last year, Sibao County left, but I didn't expect that the goodbye would be this scene. How good is the city? We rushed over after receiving the news, but we encountered tens of thousands of ambush troops in the middle of the journey, and it took a while to wait."
Chen Tang's mouth couldn't rest.
In addition, she didn't like to talk to others for useless scenes, so she spoke first and went straight to the scene.
The governor of Lu County is also a tall and strong middle-aged man.
With a thick beard.
It's just that my eyes are slender, with the corners of my eyes facing downward, and my face is quite mean and vicious, which makes people unable to like it.
Chen Tang really didn't like it, and he had an unhappy relationship with the Lu County Magistrate during the alliance. The other party favored a tough guy full of masculinity, and Chen Tang was short and beautiful at that time, which was exactly the type he disliked the most.
At this moment, I won’t talk about these grudges anymore.
The governor of Lu County carefully identified Chen Tang and barely met Chen Tang with him a year ago, and asked, "Why are you here now?"
His tone was full of three-point dissatisfaction and questioning.
Chen Tang: "????"
Shao Chong said dissatisfied: "How do you speak?"
The person in charge of Tianhai and Yiru also had a dark face.
The most embarrassing one is the messenger of Luxia County.
More than 10,000 troops rushed to rescue and rescue. Not to mention being grateful, they were grateful, but at least they didn't look like this. It seemed like someone owed him. Is this a pity that the refugees and bandits did not attack quickly enough and wanted to change their opponents?
When the subordinates heard this, they suddenly changed their expressions. They hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over and apologized repeatedly to Chen Tang.
"Don't blame Chen County Magistrate, Chen County Magistrate, my lord did not intend to offend him. It was just that he lost his young son in front of the battle today, and he was too sad for a while and talked nonsense. Lord, Chen County Magistrate ignored past grievances and sent troops to help him for righteousness. He is the great benefactor of the thousands of common people in Luxia County. How can you say this? If it spreads, you will be ridiculed by heroes in the world."
The position of the speaker is not low.
I guess he is still a relative of the governor of Lu County.
The ministers were scolded in front of outsiders and the face of the ministers, the county magistrate of Lu just turned darker, and pursed a pair of thick lips with dry curly skin, as if anger was brewing in his chest and his cheeks were tense. However, in the end, he forced himself to suppress his excess emotions.
He let out a breath of turbid air.
Apologized to Chen Tang with a mercy: "The sad things in life are nothing more than white-haired people sending black-haired people. Today, my youngest son died. I am really sad and sad. My tears are broken for a while and I will not speak. Please forgive me if I ask the county magistrate Chen to forgive me. Another day, I will hold a banquet and solemnly apologize to the county magistrate Chen."
Then?
Then there was nothing, and the other person didn't ask Chen Tang to come to the city to greet the wind and entertain reinforcements from afar. This is to prepare the army to spend the night outside the city???
Chen Tang claimed to be a "good charity" and a "good old man", but whether she is kind or kind, it does not mean that she is a bun that everyone rubs and flat! She went through hardships to help - although she did this to block the refugees and bandits from He Yin, and she could let go of her hands and feet when she started a war in other people's territory, and she would not feel sorry for her if she broke it. But no matter what, she was kind enough.
The surname of Lu, I am your big husband!
Chen Tang cursed in his heart.
Just as he was about to spray it back, the subordinate passed by the county magistrate of Lu and said carefully: "It's too late. County magistrate Chen and the generals have worked hard to eliminate the harm to the people. If you don't dislike it, you might as well take a good rest in the city? However, the county of Luxia has suffered from the robbery. There is nothing good to entertain everyone. Please don't blame the county magistrate Chen."
Chen Tang felt sad.
She curled her lips and felt a little displeasure: "Forget it, there is no shortage of this meal. Since the bandits have retreated and the crisis in the capital has been lifted, we are planning to stay outside the city for a night and search for the traces of the bandits tomorrow. If they have changed their route to another place, we will also go home."
When the subordinates heard this, they were immediately anxious and kept winking at the desolate Lu County Governor.
Gu Ni
He stepped on his feet and said angrily: "Lord!"
The governor of Lu County said: "Slow!"
Chen Tang looked at him coldly.
The governor of Lu County took a deep breath, lowered his posture, and asked Chen Tang to enter the city in a tone of some pleading but reluctant reluctance. Chen Tang was puzzled, became a little alert, and said, "Since that's the case, I'm working."
After saying that, the tense and stiff atmosphere suddenly eased.
The governor of Lu County personally led Chen Tang into the city.
Chen Tang exchanged winks with Chu Yaokang in secret.
I always feel a little strange.
But I'm not sure.
Because when the Sibao County formed an alliance, the county magistrate of Lu saw that Chen Tang's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose. Well, not only Lu County magistrate, but most of them were this broken attitude, which was said to be related to Chen Tang's trouble after drinking.
Chen Tang said that he was very wronged.
She has bad wine, not bad character.
How can I kill you with one blow?
Besides, the bad things that Chen Tang did when she was drunk had to do with her sober Chen Tang? She was not interested in causing trouble!
