Perhaps because of the approaching crisis, the two dogs barked louder and louder, and became more and more urgent.
There was already a voice of dissatisfaction in the house next to him, "What are you calling for a dog-good beast? Are you still going to sleep?"
But there was no light in the house, and there was no intention of the people inside.
But Li Yuanqing listened in detail. He was speaking from the Han people, who should be soldiers of the Han army flag. The old slave had taboos for dogs, so Jiannu did not eat dog meat. This man actually scolded these two dogs like this. I'm afraid there were no real slaves in this small army post.
It has reached this level. Whether there are real slaves or not, Li Yuanqing is already on the verge of arrows.
At this time, the two of them had already arrived in the yard, and the two dogs were tied at the east door.
Li Yuanqing winked at Shunzi. Shunzi understood, picked up the steel knife in his hand, and rushed towards a dog on the right.
Li Yuanqing also walked as fast as he could. Within a dozen steps, he waved his sword and slashed at the dog on the left.
Although dogs are spiritual, they are tied up at this time. Where can they avoid the fierce attacks of Li Yuanqing and Shunzi?
In an instant, blood splattered and the world suddenly calmed down.
Li Yuanqing glanced at Shunzi, Shunzi nodded, and hurriedly greeted Shang Laoliu not far behind him, asking him to bring people over.
Seeing that this side was successful, Shang Laoliu quickly rushed over, and two soldiers from Li Yuanqing also followed quickly.
"Look at the stables and prepare to do it." Li Yuanqing whispered.
Shang Laoliu understood and whispered: "Chen Zhong and the others should come here right away."
Li Yuanqing nodded, "It's already a turtle in the jar, wait for them to come over and then take action."
Soon, Chen Zhong also rushed in, looked at the two dead dogs at the door, and couldn't help but give Li Yuanqing a thumbs up, "Yuanqing, not bad."
Although the two dogs are beasts, they are good helpers in guarding the house. If Li Yuanqing had not decisively removed them, even if the people inside were careless, if they kept yelling, they would soon find something was wrong.
"Brother Chen, let's not let anyone go together." Li Yuanqing whispered.
Having controlled the yard, the people inside became 'turtles in the jar'. When it comes to the time of sharing the achievements, Li Yuanqing will naturally not take them alone.
Chen Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed. It is said that Li Yuanqing had no choice but to take over the achievements of his own. After all, his speed was slow, but since Li Yuanqing gave him half of it, how could he not be polite?
"Yuanqing, go."
As he said that, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing took the lead and rushed to the door of the house first.
These houses are all simple large wooden houses, somewhat similar to the simple shacks on construction sites in later generations. There are no single rooms, just one trip.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong kicked open the door almost at the same time, shouted "Kill the Tartars", and rushed into the house first.
The soldiers behind him entered one after another.
Although the room is big, there are only a dozen wooden beds, and a stove is burning inside. As soon as you rushed in, a unique smell of sweat and feet that are odor that is unique to men, hitting you.
It was already late at night. Apart from the night watchman, who would still be fully armed at this time?
In addition, they didn't know how many people there were on Li Yuanqing's side, so they were completely confused and were instantly killed by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.
"Don't kill, don't kill. Grandpa, please spare me. We are all Han people." A few of them reacted quickly, rolled down from the bed, hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised their hands, wanted to kowtow but didn't dare, afraid that Li Yuanqing would think they were resistant.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, and the overall situation was decided.
"Tie all these dogs and traitors to me." Chen Zhong laughed.
After a moment, the soldiers behind Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing rushed forward like wolves and tigers, binding the six or seven Han army flag soldiers strongly.
Chen Zhong smiled and said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, are you here to examine it?"
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Chen, I'm not familiar with this job, come on. It's a pity that the two beasts outside died like this. It's better to fill our stomachs. These days, birds are about to fade out of their mouths."
Of course, Chen Zhong understood Li Yuanqing's intentions and couldn't help but be overjoyed and whispered: "Yuanqing, don't worry, this time, brother will definitely not lose your credit."
Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, and quickly walked outside the door.
Shang Laoliu and Shunzi also followed quickly. Shunzi was still a little puzzled and whispered: "Brother, we caught the person, why don't you go to the trial?"
Li Yuanqing glanced at Shunzi, "Our credit is indispensable. Let's go and clean up the two beasts, which is also worth the money."
…………
Soon, the two watchdogs were peeled and cramped. Shang Laoliu took the big pot from the station and used the ingredients to stew a whole pot.
The dog meat tastes extremely delicious and can be said to be the best among animals, especially for men. Soon, the rich dog meat smell drifts in the yard.
At this time, Chen Zhong also came out of the room and smiled and said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, you are such a good method. Brother, I want to interrogate it again, but I can't help it."
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Chen, what is the result of the battle?"
Chen Zhong smiled, "No big problem. There are not many people in the Empress Palace. Now their main force is on the northern line and will not be able to come back within three or two days."
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Now we have plenty of time. Let's report to the general."
Chen Zhong nodded with a smile, "Brother will be back soon, you have to save some of this dog meat for me."
"Haha. Don't worry."
…………
Chen Zhong came back soon, and not only him, Zhang Pan, You Jinghe, Wang Fu and others, also followed.
Chen Zhong was still a little embarrassed, "Hehe. Yuanqing, I didn't say anything, it was the fragrance of dog meat they smelled by themselves."
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Hehe. They are all their own brothers, and they will share the same thing. It's a pity that there is no wine."
Everyone was overjoyed. The dog meat was almost done and they soon started to share it.
At this time, the stables were also inspected. Not only were there nine good horses, but there were also a lot of forage, enough for these nine horses to eat for several months.
Several personal soldiers and officers had almost eaten at this time. You Jinghe was happy and hated and said: "Jiannu is really a luxury. A small military post has so many good horses. How much blood and sweat are needed for these early materials?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "I heard that the dog saved Lao Nu's life. Lao Nu did not eat dog meat, so Jiannu would not dare to eat dog meat. Today, we will start eating meat for him. One day, if Shenyang is captured, I will definitely stew Lao Nu's horse."
The officers couldn't help but laugh, and Chen Zhong said, "Yuan Qing, I heard that Lao Nu's horse is a good horse that is one in a million. Isn't it a pity that you want to stew it?"
Everyone laughed again.
However, although they were joking, everyone did not dare to neglect the defense work of the military post.
Soon, it was getting brighter and Mao Wenlong's main force also approached the shore.
The officers Li Yuanqing and others were waiting respectfully, waiting for Mao Wenlong to review the results of the battle.
These Han flag soldiers were tied up like rice dumplings. They were frightened and exhausted all night. They were all haggard and exhausted. When they saw Mao Wenlong coming, they knew that it was the master general who came and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Sir, we are also Han people. We have no choice but to be enslaved by the Tartars."
Mao Wenlong looked at them for a while before saying, "I can't kill you. My king's army has begun to counterattack Liao. You can go back and tell your master."
When these Han military flags heard that they could survive, they were overjoyed and kowtowed desperately, "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely bring the news."
Mao Wenlong smiled coldly, "Let them loose and let them go."
"General, this..." Mao Chenglu was a little unhappy. Can these traitors let go?
But Mao Wenlong said: "Let someone go."
The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly loosened the Han army flag soldiers.
These Han army flag soldiers were both surprised and happy, and were afraid that Mao Wenlong would regret it, so they hurriedly escaped.
"General, what does this mean?" Mao Chenglu was still a little puzzled.
Mao Wenlong smiled and said to Chen Zhong: "Have all the information gone?"
Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Go back to General, I've already gone out last night."
Mao Wenlong nodded, "These people are not to be jealous of death, but they are also my Han children after all. Although our information has been out, the land here is vast and sparsely populated. Let them go back alive, and they can also promote us, and help us build momentum and make their masters afraid."
Mao Chenglu also understood Mao Wenlong's profound meaning at this time, and couldn't help but bow respectfully: "The general is wise and admires his humble position."
Li Yuanqing also nodded slightly. The rewards for Mao Wenlong's trick should be revealed soon.
…………
Sure enough, starting from the morning, the defeated soldiers and refugees rushed over from all directions to this small military post.
Under the enslavement of the Later Jin army, they were desperate. When they heard the news about the king's army, even if they were at the risk of being beheaded, they would die on the road.
Mao Wenlong immediately sent people to set up several large pots (all ship utensils) at the post station to cook porridge to help the defeated soldiers and refugees, and they refused to refuse.
However, in secret, he ordered the personal soldiers and officers to carefully screen to prevent suspicious people from getting involved.
Due to the defeated soldiers, more and more refugees gathered, probably more than a thousand people. Li Yuanqing and other officers and soldiers began to be busy and kept their feet untouched. On the one hand, they had to provide relief to these people, but on the other hand, they also had to maintain public order and carefully screen to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Mao Wenlong was standing on the steps in front of the house at this time, looking at the crowded people in front of him, and finally showed a hint of relief on his old face full of vicissitudes.
Although the Liao incident collapsed, the people's hearts were still on the side of the Ming Dynasty.
Although this war was small, it not only strengthened his power and enriched his strength, but also strengthened his surprise attack and went deep behind enemy lines.
It’s better to say during the day, but the refugees and soldiers have a meal to eat and can keep quiet, but at night, sleeping becomes a big problem.
Fortunately, summer has begun at this time, and the weather is getting warmer. Even if it is "the sky is a quilt and the ground is a bed", it will not be too serious.
But this must not give these refugees and the defeated soldiers a sense of security enough. Li Yuanqing secretly gave Mao Wenlong a suggestion that the grass in the stable could be taken out as the temporary bedding of the refugees.
Mao Wenlong thought for a moment and immediately agreed that although the forage is very precious, what is it compared to the people's hearts at this time?
As the middle of the night came good news from the front intelligence network again. The news about the Han army flag soldiers at the post station was very accurate. At this time, the main forces of the Later Jin army on the western Liaoning line were all on the northern line and Haizhou area. It would take at least three days to get here.
Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be overjoyed. The plenty of time made him more sure to digest these refugees and the defeated soldiers.
