Chapter 367 Preparing for war, going to war

"There are troops and horses in Dezhou City, and the people are strong. Ding Yong has a total of 60,000 people, of which 30,000 troops are stationed in Dezhou City, and 10,000 troops are stationed in the 12th city next to the official road ten miles away. It is even further away. Sangyuankou, forty miles away, is the old city of Anling's abandoned county, where 10,000 troops are stationed there. In addition, Dashuiyi, Dianguanyi and other river warehouses are stationed, with a total of 10,000 troops. However, for safety reasons, we have moved more than half of the food and grass to Dezhou City."

Luo Guangquan introduced: "These 60,000 people belong to Dezhou Guard, Dezhou Zuo Guard, Tianjin, Baoding, and local regiment training. Some of them are from Qihe, Linyi, Huimin and other counties. They are nominally led by the last generals. In fact, since they have their own ranks and are not familiar with each other, it is very difficult to dispatch."

Luo Guangquan, the commander of Dezhou Guard, hesitated for a moment. He wanted to report some military disciplines and disperse the hearts of the people. He did not obey orders and feared wars and even secretly kidnapped the villages. However, the generals and officers of these soldiers were also present. If they said this, they would have to make a rift with others. Therefore, he hesitated a little and only emphasized that the difficulties of each unit were difficult to dispatch.

Yang Ling sat in the upper position and had already changed into a Confucian shirt with white silk and plum blossom patterns. She wore a flat square scarf. She was graceful and elegant, with a jade-like spirit, without any majesty as a commander. There were civil servants present. In addition to the official history of the local government, there were also special envoys sent to Jinan, Tai'an and other places to wait for the instructions of the bandit suppression. With these civil servants, Yang Ling looked even more outstanding and outstanding.

After listening with a smile, Yang Ling nodded and refused to do anything. In fact, he had reported back to the situation in Texas before he arrived, so he knew more about the situation here than Luo Guangquan introduced.

He looked at the generals sitting upright and asked, "I heard that Qiao Sihai and the Gang of Qiao are also guarding Dezhou, why didn't I see him?"

Luo Guangquan then realized that when the Jiangnan pacified the Japanese, Qiao Sihai increased his troops in Zhejiang and had fought a war under Yangling. He hurriedly replied respectfully: "The Duke of Returning to China, there were only more than 3,000 troops in Twelve Liancheng. For security plans, the last general sent General Qiao to reinforce Twelve Liancheng. If the Duke wants to see him, the last general will immediately find him."

Yang Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need. The enemy is in front of him, how can the commander in the army leave without permission. Let's discuss official matters first. Dezhou Hao is deep and thick, with strong soldiers and strong horses. You are brave and good at fighting. You have been attacked by Yang Hu three times and stood firm. My Duke has also heard of it in Beijing."

When Luo Guangquan and the generals heard this, they all looked glorious. In fact, Yang Hu attacked the city three times only for food and grass. That was his strategic goal that he had not yet made clear, and he had no intention of capturing this important town connecting the north and south, running through the west and east. Therefore, he did not attack and turned to another place to rob, and the war was not very fierce.

This time, according to Yang Ling's understanding, Yang Hu is a man with great ambitions and talent. Although he is famous in the green forest and has great martial arts, he is not the director's strength in marching and fighting strategies. This time, the white-clothed army is out of the ordinary. He no longer wanders aimlessly and shows that he is bound to win against Dezhou, Jinan is bound to win, and the sound and horse thieves in Bazhou echo each other and attack inside and outside. Obviously, the two sides have reached contact and reached a consensus on important military operations.

From wandering, to trying to occupy Shandong and Shanxi, using this as a base. In addition, he turned Hebei, where the capital was located, into a lonely land. Yang Hu couldn't think of such a grand plan. The group of loud horse thieves did not have such insights. It is probably because of Zhao Crazy. However, now the white-clothed army is more powerful than the sound horse thieves, but now it is better to do good things than the sound horse thieves. It seems that Yang Hu also has capable people under him. Not only does he agree with Zhao Crazy's military deployment, but it also influences Yang Hu.

On the one hand, this is a strategy planned by the wise men of the thieves. On the other hand, this is also an objective need for a team to grow stronger. They need to establish a stronghold and a base. Even if no one plans, Yang Hu would not have thought that as his army grows stronger, he would sooner or later realize this problem.

Yang Ling knew that these two rebels had become a confidant of the court. However, in terms of financial resources and military aspects, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to mobilize a large number of troops from the empire to suppress the enemy in a corner of Shandong, whether in terms of financial resources or military terms.

The court's strategy also changed at any time and place. When the power of white-clothed thieves was weak, Yang Ling and the cabinet agreed, both of which were blocking the way out for white-clothed thieves. Bi Quangong suffered heavy damage in his battle and wanted to eliminate them all in Shandong.

However, as the white-clad army and the local government became stronger, the wolf had become a tiger. The court neither could nor did it have time to gather the elite troops of the country and use the financial resources of the whole country in Shandong. Even with the complete paralysis of the imperial rule in Shandong, there was a momentum of becoming a forest where tigers roared together, so it was only possible to force the tiger out of the mountain and not create a base for them.

No matter how great the disaster is, the bandits will eventually be. They cannot shake the rule of the state and have their own bases. Then, they will establish rule, establish political systems and laws, establish logistics, and transform complete destruction into purposeful construction. That is the most terrifying thing.

The imperial court has formulated a strategy of suppressing bandits in separate places, responsible for strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and performing their own duties, driving the tiger out of the mountains. Although the white-clothed army galloped across the Central Plains, there were more disasters, but first they drove them away from the capital, and did not put the capital in the capital, and the emperor's palace was always in danger; secondly, it was avoided that the four provinces around the capital would be completely destroyed by them, and their productivity would not be restored in decades, so that military disasters would occur.

To drive the wolves away, it can not only lack their troops, destroy their sharpness, disperse their injuries, and easily restore their economy after suppressing bandits. It can also make full use of the financial, material and military forces in various places that will consume a huge amount of money and difficulty in exerting their effectiveness to jointly suppress bandits.

Only the people in the central government of the court know this. Such a cruel decision cannot be told to the local government. If the local government knows that in order to avoid the national foundation and to give full play to the strength of the whole country to suppress bandits, they will inevitably become resentful and even change their minds in the people.

However, there is no way to do this. Standing high and looking far away, sometimes, looking at the overall situation, the local government may not be able to understand the pains of overall decisions. Moreover, for local interests, they are unwilling to implement it. Even if Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei become purgatory on earth, there will be no pain in other prefectures, officials, civilians and gentry who have suffered, and will not provide financial and material resources without any complaints.

If everyone deals with it passively and waits for the rebels in the north to take advantage of the situation, the harm the world will suffer will be even more difficult to estimate. If this is not done, how many people will have such a long-term vision?

Thinking about the late Ming Dynasty when the city of Beijing was about to be destroyed, the court did not even have military pay to send troops to support it. The high-ranking officials and rich gentry who had read books and had seen the world had accumulated a lot of wealth, but they still refused to give out a penny. It can be seen that the short-sighted look of the rat waiting for the city to be broken and the house was scouted.

Yang Ling would not tell these macro strategies to these generals. He first praised the bravery of the defenders, and then said: "Crazy Zhao has now played the slogan of "founding the country and supporting the wise", and also said that he is anti-corruption officials and not against the emperor. In fact, it is just a delusion of the people.

He went west to Shanxi with only ten thousand people, but in my opinion, this is a big concern, far from comparable to Liu Liu and Liu Qi and Yang Hu, so even though Dezhou is in danger, Xu Tai's army was still sent by the court to pursue and suppress him, so he should not be allowed to gain a foothold in Shanxi and cause fire to spread. Therefore, this time, my country's Duke came, only thousands of elite cavalry guards, and there was no more soldier."

His eyes became sharp and he said solemnly: "In other words, the siege of Dezhou and the difficulties of Shandong are in trouble. You have no external force to rely on yourself. The only one head that my country's Duke brought is to advance and retreat together for you!"

These words were both stern, which was to the generals present, and to the officials of the state who were standing in isolated cities everywhere and were looking forward to help. Their envoy was shocked when he heard this.

The generals were stunned for the first time, then stood up one after another, expressing their loyalty with passion. Yang Ling smiled faintly and raised his hand to comfort him: "Please sit down, in fact, the white-clothed army, the sound horse thief, may not be defeated even if the white-clothed army, may not be unbeatable. When I came from the court, the center had also had various discussions about the white-clothed army, the sound horse thief.

Some people argue for peace. They think that the best way to recruit and pacify. Their government has recruited pacification twice, once in Jiangnan. It was successful and once in Bazhou. It failed. At this time, I did not agree with the pacification. The thief army was in full swing and never lost. Without a strong deterrent power, how could they force people to sign the city alliance? Pacification can only encourage their arrogance, and they would not have sincerity at all.

Moreover, if you raise troops for a thousand days, you will use troops for a while. The bandits in the capital are against the truth and abused the law and poisoned millions. As soon as the court leaves the army, they will discuss and pacify them. Anyone with blood will be heartbroken. From then on, there will be many ambitious people, and the officials and soldiers of the court will no longer have the face to survive. Therefore, the court has decided to fight and fight to the death, and the law is not merciless!"

Yang Ling knew that the officials in the lonely prefectures and counties in various places, and even many generals were afraid of the white-clothed army and the strength of the horse thieves. At the same time, because Yang Ling had once recruited the horse thieves, they all had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the court would recruit rebels and relieve their own difficulties. Therefore, some local generals and city guards held a wait-and-see attitude, failed to fight and were hesitant, so they said these decisive words first, showing the court's determination and dispel their fantasies.

Then Yang Ling stood up and said, "The Duke of my country first talks about the current situation, and then announces the imperial court's strategy to suppress bandits and safeguard the people."

Yangling slowly walked to the middle of the lobby. Dezhou is an important transportation route that runs through the north, south, west and east. It has developed commerce and rich taxes, so it has a local government office. However, it is also an important city for garrison and training troops. This place has always been dominated by military control. This government office is the Dezhou Guard Commander Office, and the lobby is very wide.

When Yang Ling moved, the civil and military officials stood up one after another, holding their breath and listening attentively.

Yang Ling said: "The thief and the white-clothed military use have always had one thing in common, that is, the combat is fierce and cunning. The troops are divided and the times are in harmony, and they are wandering, and they have no place to live. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they cannot, they will avoid it. Therefore, the officials and soldiers of the court cannot hit the key points, and they will be able to use a thunder strike and a drum to get a balance.

Moreover, all their supplies were plundered, and most of their troops were rioters. Once the imperial army surrounded and suppressed them, they could abandon all their supplies, war horses, and even small troops without hesitation, and then escape and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback. They were like jackals and wild dogs, unable to chase them, and difficult to avoid them.

The imperial army is really struggling for such bandits who come and go like lightning. We need to raise food and grass and transport supplies, find horse thieves and landlords, protect every important city and transportation road, take time and energy to plan and coordinate, and spend a lot of energy to handle the aftermath of refugees.

Destruction is always easier than construction. It is difficult to avoid one or the other. It is indeed some dogs who have no idea how to get out of the way. If you chase a small group of elite cavalry, even if you catch up, it will be useless. The officers and soldiers from all over the country have their own defense areas, and the difficulty in mobilizing is mainly used on the spot. Due to the different military power and disagreement, they are not unified. There are many difficulties in centralized dispatch.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty had to guard the border and defend the city. Moreover, due to the high cost of the inland officers and soldiers, there were few complete cavalry teams. Even if there were cavalry, they were mainly composed of infantry and cavalry, and they relied heavily on the supply of supplies and food. This was destined to be my strength in guerrilla warfare. Our strength was to be good at building cities to prevent attacks.

This made the horse thieves and the white-clothed army rampant for a while and took the opportunity to grow. Now their power is growing, relying entirely on plunder and guerrilla warfare. They can no longer adapt to the needs of the increasingly large army, so they occupy a piece of land. They need a base for their own to continue to develop, attack Dezhou, Tai'an, and soldiers besiege Jinan and try to take the entire Shandong in their hands. This is their first attempt.

In this way, we will give us the opportunity to develop our good defensive skills, and try to consume the enemy's troops during defense and war, to scatter the enemy's spirit and to scatter the army's morale. This should be conveyed to the prefectures and prefectures and counties, and to comply with them together."

Yang Ling sighed and continued: "This is the main requirement of the local government in the war. There is another thing that is more important than this, that is, the areas destroyed by the white-clothed army. Officials of the states and prefectures must not just guard the city. They ignore these places that have suffered damage and fall into a state of incompetence.

To restore the village, try every means to raise grain and give it to the villagers to sow and plunder. One can be harvested, and one can be harvested. Only with hope will the people will not be forced to follow the White-clothed Army to kill and rob. They should appoint officials in time and send some troops to the local areas where conditions permit. There is no need to worry too much about the White-clothed Army. Now their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and they will no longer care about the villages that have been looted and destroyed several times."

"In addition!" Yang Ling's voice became stern, and the generals and civil servants in the hall were shocked. Yang Ling said sternly: "Some of our army has low combat power, poor military discipline, and even compete with bandits and robbers to harm the people. Don't think that your country's Duke doesn't know.

I now announce: Those who have not corrected these things in the past, but if any offenses are violated, officials from all over the country must strictly deal with them. Those who are vicious and serious crimes must be punished publicly. Those who are serious and punished will be punished. They will be punished without any quarrels! Their army is corrupt and they are ignorant of profit. How can they talk about suppressing bandits? They are bandits themselves!

In addition, those who have registered and earned empty salary in the garrison should take advantage of the war to quickly clean up the soldiers who were replaced by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and all the soldiers who were impersonated by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated. Even if these people went to the battlefield, they would drive the sheep into the group of tigers and die in vain. The Duke of the country has requested the decree of the emperor, and all the locals can act cheaply, recruit some new recruits, young and brave soldiers, and train them strictly to fight and train them. Command and dispatch unfavorable officials, and once the generals have verified, they will be killed without mercy!"

Yang Ling was so murderous that he was so murderous that his eyes were full of evil. The civil and military officials were shocked and couldn't help but bow to him. They were deceived by Yang Ling's gentle and gentle appearance, and they felt that the Duke had no airs and spoke in a kind manner. Until now, all the deeds about this Duke suddenly recalled from their memories.

Yang beheaded, Yang broom, wherever he passed, there were bloody storms. In Fuzhou City, he beheaded more than a hundred times a day. Such a star and big broom, the cold-blooded demon, who killed people without blinking, didn't even remember it just now?

Many officials were frightened and couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat.

Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "In addition, the emperor and the court are very concerned about the local area, and the court is not just torture the rioters and the court. My country's Duke now announces that you will post a list after you go back and inform the local area: Any bandits who surrender will be innocent, and anyone who surrenders at the moment will be innocent. At the same time, despite the years of military use and financial difficulties in the court, the emperor still issued a kind order to exempt Shandong from money, grain, taxes and taxes for one year.

This is the court's mercy in mercy with the people. After the envoys returned, they should remember to warn local officials that rent would be exempted, transferred, and service should be controlled. Do not requisition people's wealth and servitude should be caused by disasters. Many people lose money and families, and are extremely poor and cannot survive. If the government cannot comfort and mercy, but instead exploit the war, it is to force the people to become bandits. The white-clothed army can gather a hundred thousand troops so quickly, which is not without the "credit" of such officials, and it is simply sending troops to the bandits. These soldiers in turn have to ask for his head, which is extremely stupid."

Yang Ling calmed down and said, "This year, Shaanxi has achieved a bumper harvest of grain. These new grains can be eaten and planted. They are not afraid of planting later. Moreover, the people in chaos have no intention of taking care of them seriously. These crops are not too delicate and are very easy to survive.

My country's Duke has notified the departure of grain from Shaanxi. Because the land bandits are not safe. At the same time, in order to save financial and manpower, I decided to go to Jiangnan, the river enters the sea, and then send it to Shandong by sea. The food will be stable as soon as the people reach the hearts of the people, which will greatly help the local area settle down as soon as possible. Everyone, the current situation is in the enemy, not in me. Please help me to slap the people and suppress the thieves, and we can overcome the difficulties together!"

All the officials bowed and said sternly: "Yes, we are obeying the orders of the Duke of the State. We will work together to overcome difficulties!"

Yang Ling nodded, and said with a robe sleeve: "The horse thieves have attacked Dezhou City twice, and my country's Duke has arrived. They cannot figure out the truth and the truth, so they temporarily restrained. When it is discovered that I have not led my troops, I will attack again. All officials and generals must do their duties, perform their duties, and prepare for the war. Tomorrow morning, the military parade of the public school will be held, and the departments of each department are ready!"

With a sharp chirping, a white shadow arrow swept down from the sky like a white shadow arrow. The flower fell on its wide shoulders, and its sharp claws tightly clasped the leather shoulder pads, tilted its head, and looked at the owner.

The dance is graceful and wide-sleeved, like a bird coming from the east. This is a sea of ​​green in the east, as big as a magpies, but it is fierce by nature and can hunt swans, small beasts and foxes. Because it is not easy to catch, there is a saying that "nine deaths are rare and one eagle is rare". During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, there was even such a rule: whoever criminal who violated the criminal law and was exiled to Liaodong would catch Haidongqing and present it to the public. He could atone for his sins and pass them on to the post.

This Haidongqing is the best in the inner world, pure white, and is known as Jade Claw, Qiuhuang, Bohuang, and Three-year Dragon. Flowers caress the feathers of Haidongqing, feed it a piece of fresh meat, and smiles: "The tent of the Boyan tribe has been found ahead, so be careful."

"Yes!" After a long journey, everyone was already a little tired, and they couldn't help but get excited when they heard this order. His son Als was passing the order loudly behind him. Huadang pointed forward and said, "Their camp tent is southwest, not ten miles away. Bayar, you lead three thousand cavalry around and block their backs. The camps you encounter now should be Boyan's peripheral tribes. Don't let them escape, and the wind leaks out."

"Yes!" Bayar licked his thick lips, held the steel fork in his hand tightly, and led the three thousand cavalrymen to rush forward in an arc. Huadang's large group of troops were divided into three teams from Baiyin, Alsling and himself, like a steel fork, attacking the tent of the Boyan tribe.

The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the sky is green. The sunset in the sky is bright red like blood. The army of flowers suddenly accelerated against the background of the blood-red sun. Ten thousand horses galloped like thunder.

The shepherd dogs drove cattle and horses into the pen, and smoke from cooking fires floated above the felt bag. After the difficult winter, they finally had hope for life. Since the daily consumption is mainly beef and mutton, coupled with the need for birth, old age, sickness and death, and reproduction, it is difficult for a family to maintain their living place without more than 20 sheep.

Bawang is the patriarch of this small tribe. His family lives relatively wealthy, but now there are less than thirty sheep left, so he dare not slaughter cattle and sheep at will. In addition to hunting and getting wild animals in daily consumption, he also mixed a large amount of wild vegetables and grains to try to take advantage of this year's good situation of abundant water and grass, so that cattle and sheep can reproduce as much as possible.

He was only forty-five years old and had a strong figure. Although he was hit by a rapier while siegeing the Ming border last year as Boyan Khan attacked the Ming Dynasty, riding on a horse did not prevent him from herding the flock.

He looked at the vast grasslands in the south and sighed softly: "This year my son has gone to war with Khan again. He has been setting off for more than twenty days. The Heaven of Changsheng bless them. I hope my son is safe and sound, so that he can plunder more property, food and slaves back this time.

It turns out that when food, wealth and slaves are short of, how easy it is to plunder the Han people. The Han people are as gentle as sheep who do not know how to resist. They can only build cities, wait for our strong bows and arrows in fear, and let us ask for them. Last year......."

He shook his head gently: "I hope my son will not meet that person, the invincible Boyan Khan, the direct bloodline of the Golden Family. The most noble and brave warrior was chased by his soldiers and horses and fled. The lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, how could we have such a failure? If I hadn't been injured by my leg and became the first lucky person to escort prisoners and property back, my name might have appeared among those tragic dead."

He sighed and climbed off the horse with great difficulty. A thin and weak girl rushed over to take the reins of the horse. This was the first time last year that she had returned from Datong. She was named Xiao Cuier. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was originally fair and handsome, and was used as a slave here. Her face turned black and red, but she could still see her beautiful eyebrows and delicate bones.

She is Bawang's female slave and a tool for him to vent his desires. But Bawang will not feel more pity because of her handsomeness. Last month, the flock of rams she was watching for fighting, and the people were weak and weak, and they didn't know how to separate them. As a result, a sheep was killed. Bawang, who was furious, thunderous, pulled her to death and was about to die.

Bawang threw her away from the tent without any pity, without any treatment, and was ready to throw her on the grassland to feed the wolf as soon as she died. However, the lowly slave's vitality became stronger and stronger. She had not yet entered the water for three days, but she actually survived it, so she had to continue to be enslaved by Bawang, working hard for him during the day, and at night when he needed it, she had to bear the destruction of his strong body of nearly 200 kilograms.

Bawang got into the tent and his wife had prepared dinner. In the past, the food at home was very rich. There were delicious hand-steaked meat, roasted lamb legs, milk skin, milk tofu, and horse milk wine. However, now it is mainly milk tea, fried rice, and wild vegetables. It can only be eaten with meat occasionally.

He sat cross-legged on the felt, and just picked up a bowl of horse milk wine. The wine in the bowl began to ripple layer by layer, and the ground trembled, like a dense sound like a thunder rolling. As a person who lived on the back of a horse since childhood, a real warrior, he immediately identified the sound of horse hooves, at least tens of thousands of war horses running wildly.

On the grassland, although there are many war horses, even the richest, a family can raise at least dozens of horses, but for the pasture, each tribe is divided into many small tribes, and they usually have their own pastures. Who can concentrate such a large number of horses running together? Only him, only the great Boyan, could it be that his army has returned? This time it was too fast.

Bawang jumped up excitedly, and limped out of the felt bag with a lame leg. The female slave Cui'er stood in the yard with a bundle of firewood in her arms, her mouth wide open, and she stared blankly into the distance. Bawang subconsciously cursed: "Damn it, go do your work."

If it weren't for a few steps away, he would have jumped up and slapped hard. Now, he cursed and looked in the direction of the horse's hooves. At this time, Bawang was stunned. First, a snow-white eagle arrow passed by the felt bag, followed by countless war horses, like a huge wave that destroyed everything, rolled past him.

Bawang's strong and tall body was like a leaf in the huge waves. If the troops had not deliberately let go of the felt bags and people and animals, he would have been stepped into mud. Cui'er crouched on the ground, holding her head with her hands, and her face was pale in fear.

The sound of shouting gathered into a terrifying wave of sounds rolled away. This momentum had completely lost the courage to resist more than a dozen men in the felt bags. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled who could not follow the army to expedition. Even if this was not the case, they were not able to fight against such a powerful horse team.

Although they are all descendants of the Mongol Yuan, they are still slightly different in their dress and bows, arrows, swords and spears. Bawang is a warrior who has been through a long battle formation and has also followed Boyan to attack the three guards of Duoyan. He recognized that they were the three guards of Duoyan.

"Oh my God! So many people, the elite soldiers of the three guards of Duoyan also came out in full swing. They dared to attack... No, this is a complete plunder, plunder of Boyan's tribe!" Bawang was desperate.

The people behind were obviously slowing down. Although they were just a small tribe, their habit was like this. The forwards just charged and destroyed everything that tried to stop them. They would not affect the sharp attack formation of the entire team in order to plunder. The people behind them were responsible for the work of confiscating spoils.

The two horses stopped in front of them. The people on the horse were wearing large, yellow Mongolian robes, right lapels, slanted collars, high collars, long sleeves, horse boots, and tight belts. They were very burly and fierce. Their swords were still stuck at their waists, and they only held a horse whip in their hands, calm and composed.

"You, from now on, are our slaves." The knight on the horse pointed at the little girl Cui'er who had already fallen on the ground with a horse whip. Then he pointed at Bawang: "And you, hand over your knife and bow. From today on, you, like her, are our slaves!"

Several strong bows, quiver pots and Mongolian swords, and a steel fork that huddled the wolves to fight. All possible weapons were collected, as well as his women and his slaves. Other tribe members were also concentrated because his felt bag was the largest among the dozen shepherds.

The horses were taken away and became the backup mount of the three guards of Duoyan. Then, Bawang looked at his property with heartache. The carefully raised sheep were easily killed by the soldiers with a knife, removed the skin, and then divided it into several kilograms of fresh meat, and then simmered it in a warm pot at the bottom of his stove.

All the sheep are left. They are plundering warriors and do not bring supplies.

The light in Bawang's eyes dimmed. Even though these soldiers from the Three Guards of Duoyan let him escape, he didn't know how to survive. If he lost these cattle and sheep, his family would have to starve to death, or... be slaves.

Bawang subconsciously looked at the girl Cui'er who had never been seen by him, and a miserable and desperate smile appeared on his face. He quietly lowered his head, then walked in front of him with a pair of leather boots, and then, he saw a young soldier greeting him with a smile:
Chapter completed!
