Chapter 112 The Wind Rises (9)
There was a riot in Xu's family.
No one expected that such a thing would suddenly happen on such a quiet and peaceful late autumn day. The county seemed to be far away from the sky. The county prefect, who was like a god, wanted to send troops to Xi Village. The old lady Xu, who had been taking care of everyone for more than ten years and was regarded as a parent, was so decisive and straightforward to leave!
Xujialu has been established for 17 or 8 years, and has been accorded households and aggravated land for 13 or 4 years. From a desolate area to more than 30 households and more than 100 households.
During this period, wasteland was opened up and fighting with bandits. The Turks went south to harass each other and were frightened every night. They followed Xu Ganxing Shang to the north and rushed to the wind and snow, and were frightened step by step.
Under the care of this old lady Xu, who was like an iron man, he survived all obstacles.
Although life is still difficult, the Turks' border troubles are getting worse and worse, and the government's rent and mediocre adjustments are getting heavier. But everyone still cherishes the days in this village.
For people who have not had a long-term vision, they may even think that such days will be forever. They will spread here and pass on them from generation to generation.
No one had ever thought that overnight, these stable days would be vain!
After Du Chong suddenly shouted and turned around and wanted to pack up his weapons and eat to follow Xu Gan and left. The young and strong men in Lu finally reacted, and many people shouted: "Old lady, let's go with you!"
Among the crowd, many people ran home, went back to hold their mounts, packed their dry food, and brought their weapons. No matter where Xu Gan went, everyone just followed!
The hundreds of years of troubled times have not ended since the end of the Jin Dynasty. The legacy of Wubibao Village, which was spread all over the country, has not subsided. People like Xu Gan are the lords of a Wubibao Village. Everyone lives together, and live together when they die, and die together when they die. Only in this way can they survive longer in a chaotic era.
And each family is just a larger Wubi Fortress.
Following the head of the family has become the instinct in the hearts of most people in this era.
Old Lady Xu set up Xu Jialu here to appease refugees, open up wastelands, expel bandits, teach the people about martial arts, set up a family and career for them, deal with the government, and work hard to reunite. What is it if it is not the head of the family?
The main thing about home is to leave, where can we go without following it?
Moreover, the villagers in Xujialu came from Mayi or Yanmen. They were all refugees who repeatedly invaded the border after the prosperity of the Turks, and settled in Xujialu, Sanggan River Valley.
They knew that the disaster of war was terrible, and they knew what the bloody meaning behind the word "Xiacun" was.
Staying here is a dead end. It is better to follow the old lady to settle down in another place!
Dozens of young and strong shouts made Xu Gan's mount finally stop.
Xu Gan looked back and saw dozens of young and strong men returning home, taking out their mounts, packing some dry food, carrying a bow and knife, gathering together, waiting for Xu Gan's order.
And there are some people, perhaps because they are married, perhaps because they don’t want to follow Xu Gan to wander, or perhaps because Xu Gan has no confidence in him since he is old and sick. These people support the elderly and the young, bow down to Xu Gan’s figure, thinking that they say goodbye.
After Xu Gan went, they would leave temporarily, waiting for the war to come back before returning. If they were lucky, they might be able to rebuild their homes.
Xu Gan's white beard drifted and looked at the scene in front of him. Finally, he closed his eyes hard and opened it again: "If you are willing to follow me, then follow me! The rest of the people are good at taking care of themselves and trying hard to survive! When they left, they ignited the Xu Jialu. Nothing we built to build was left to Wang Rengong!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Fengpo did not delay on the road, but chose the most convenient way for the army to operate recently, leading Shi Chaozhi's elite Yueqi Camp toward Xu Jialu.
I sent someone to spread the news to the old lady last night, and I had already paid enough favors. If I deliberately delay and procrastinate now, how can I explain it to Shi Chaozhi?
Chen Fengpo survived the troubled times before the Sui Dynasty. He knew how cruel and ruthless the generals who led elite troops to fight for power for the main force were!
Now everyone is still under the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty, and there is only one law to do anything. When the Great Sui Dynasty collapses and the world is in a melee, Shi Chaozhi kills him like a slaughter of a chicken or a dog!
No party offends, no party will have some friendship. This is Chen Fengpo's philosophy of survival, and it also allows him to survive until now.
More than ten local eagle soldiers from Shenwu led the way in front, and more than 200 elite cavalry and cavalry camps followed behind, sweeping all the smoke and dust along the Sanggan River and swept towards Xu Jialu.
Such a situation made every village along the way closed and silence everywhere, for fear of provoking such a group of tiger and wolf troops.
When Heng'an Yingyang Prefecture attracted the hearts of the people of Mayi County and attracted the slightest heroes from all over the world, Wang Rengong's Mayi Yingyang Prefecture expanded to a scale of more than 10,000 people, which was to plunder the entire Mayi county to support soldiers. Any ambition and greed and violent person would be included as long as he dared to fight. The discipline of his subordinates was not very strict, so he could win the hearts of the soldiers.
Because he could not pay the taxes, food and fodder collected by Wang Rengong, the villages that were baptized by the Yingyang army in Mayi were no longer one or two!
Several teams were surrounded by Shi Chaozhi, looking around the Sanggan River Valley. Someone rode his horse to Shi Chaozhi and smiled and said, "Master, this place is still considered rich, why not let the brothers have fun?"
Shi Chaozhi said with a stern face: "My lord is asking us to accept Xu Le's family!"
The team was laughing and said, "Well, who doesn't have any friends with the Xu Le family in this nearby village? I have cleaned up them and completed the lord's entrusting."
Shi Chaozhi smiled a little with a calm face: "I know you guys don't have any kindness, okay, I'll be sure, but I'll talk about it when the main bus is completed!"
The team immediately slapped their thighs: "Who dares to neglect the justice of the lord? Brothers must work harder! This time, they faced each other with Heng'an Yingyang Bing for so long, and they were staring at each other every day, and now they are hurriedly transferred to Shenwu. The brothers have suffered enough. Thank you for your compassion!"
Shi Chaozhi and his men were thinking behind, while Chen Fengpo and his friends led the way were also talking in a low voice.
"………I have also seen this Le Langjun. He is a gentle and kind-hearted person. He needs to be protected by the little door god Han Yue when walking in the county. Why did he suddenly become the general of Liu Yingzhao?"
"…………Have you ever heard of Mrs. Xu's reputation back then? Eighteen or nineteen years ago, he went to Shenwu and settled his home in the Sanggan River Valley. He beat the horse thieves and bandits in the valley with one horse and one horse, and then he had the atmosphere today. Maybe Le Langjun has the origin of his family education?"
"…………It’s all nonsense. I’ve never seen the old lady. I’m so old. I’m not dealing with people. If I really have the ability, how could the past prefects not be recruited? I’m just a fellow villager. I looked at Le Langjun and other things, and I was just an excuse. I don’t know if I offended the prefect, and I just chose a crime and came to the village. Nowadays, I’ll still be able to protect my noble family from the Gao family to ensure peace!"
Chen Fengpo was wiping sweat in front while just keeping looking east.
The people below discussed that he was too lazy to get involved, but just wanted to settle the matter earlier, turn to Shenwu and take good care of his family.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Xu Jialu was not far away. If you rushed forward for another mile or two, you could see the shadow of the village.
If you don’t leave, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. You have a clear conscience in taking care of the villagers.
Suddenly, a stream of black smoke came into Chen Fengpo's eyes.
The black smoke rolled upwards, which was formed by a large fire. The direction was exactly where Xu Jialu was!
Chen Fengpo wiped his sweat hard, looked back in panic and shouted: "Master, Xu Jialu has caught fire!"
