In the courtyard, headless corpses were lying on the ground, sleeping peacefully.
The strong smell of blood circulated back and forth in the courtyard. Tian Zili carried a bunch of heads and quickly returned to Liu Taozi.
Cui Gang is still in self-doubt at this moment, so he tricked...me...
Tian Zili cut off the heads of these guys and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hated these kind of dogs who didn't treat the Han people as human beings.
But after venting, he immediately realized the dangerous situation.
Tian Zili frowned, "Brother, the Xianbei people here are extremely capable of fighting. I just led people to raid He Laiqian's Wubao. Without any precautions and with a numerical disadvantage, they actually wounded four of us.
More than ten people!!”
"But these people are different from the people in the Central Plains. They are barbaric and ferocious. They don't care about laws or officials at all. They even dare to kill the angels from Yecheng. If they don't recover as soon as possible, they are afraid that if the city is in chaos, they will attack the government office.
Already."
"We have hundreds of cavalry, but I'm afraid we won't be enough to fight them."
When Podoluogu heard what he said, he was very unhappy. This man was the son of Podoluofu, the leader of the Anping Xianbei army. Podoluofu was old and stayed there, but his son followed Liu Taozi.
When they came here, after hearing Tian Zili's words, Podoluogu argued: "Who said we can't defeat them? It's just that their armor is stronger and their weapons are sharper!"
Tian Zili ignored the warrior and continued: "These people have been operating in Wuchuan for many years, and they should be related to each other. Even if the things here can be hidden, the things in He Laiqian's house cannot be hidden either. These soldiers
If the households find out, they may gather together to cause trouble!"
Liu Taozi looked at him again, "Take another 200 people with you to transport the things found in He Laiqian's house to the main campus in the west of the city."
Liu Taozi looked at the rest of the crowd, "Follow me to the main campus!"
Liu Taozi rode on the green lion and took the lead. The rest of the people followed him and ran away.
The roads in the city are extremely flat, allowing large-scale cavalry to pass through, and there are few bends. The main roads of the entire city are connected in series by four city gates. Standing on the top of the city wall, you can see that the city is surrounded by two
The avenue is divided into crosses, and many buildings are located at the four corners of the "ten". In the middle is the official office, where you can go anywhere at will to facilitate leading troops on expeditions.
Hundreds of knights rushed towards the west city gate, which also aroused the alarm of many people.
Why are there so many cavalry going back and forth today?
Liu Taozi quickly led people to the large school field in the west of the city, which was the largest gathering point in the city.
The school ground here is extremely large, and the entire school ground is connected to the West Gate. It is almost like a city was built outside the west gate of Wuchuan, forming a special urn city outside the city.
The surrounding city wall is not very thick, but it is very high. The wooden planks on the wall are facing inward to protect it.
Liu Taozi came to the general platform. Standing here, she could easily see the huge school grounds in front of her.
Tu Xiyue stood aside obediently, wondering what Liu Taozi was going to do.
"Order, gather."
Liu Taozi issued the order, and Tu Xiyue did not dare to delay. He hurriedly called a few soldiers and came to the west side of the school ground. There were many big drums here, there were six big drums, and ordinary people seemed to
They are all difficult to move.
He picked up the hammer himself and started beating the drum crazily.
Suddenly, the rumble of war drums sounded from the school grounds.
The sound of war drums spread all the way into the city. The next moment, fierce war drums suddenly sounded from the west of the city, and then from the east of the city. After a while, fierce war drums began to sound from all over the city.
The whole city roared with roaring sounds.
The door of the residence was suddenly kicked open, and a naked man rushed out. Several Han men wearing gray turbans rushed up and quickly covered the man with armor. Someone led several horses and the man came with extremely fast speed.
Speed ​​Phi
He put on his armor, got on his horse, led the group of Han people wearing gray turbans, and ran towards the school grounds with shouts. Some of the Han people behind him, some on horseback, some holding weapons, and some carrying military rations, followed.
The war horse galloped behind him.
This scene happened everywhere in the city and even outside the city.
Liu Taozi stood on the general platform, his minions stood around him, and the sound of war drums throughout the city was deafening.
This was the first time for everyone to see such a posture.
The rumbling sound of the war drum seemed to be ringing in the hearts of everyone, and every rhythmic beat made them tremble all over, making their blood boil and their scalps numb.
Yao Xiong touched his arm in surprise, and he had goosebumps all over his body.
He looked at the war drum in astonishment, "This is the first time I've seen a drum with such a sound!"
Suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from the front, and the rhythm of the horse hooves seemed to match the rhythm of the big drum. I saw a knight rushing in from the west city gate, followed by four Han men riding light armor and more than ten people.
A Han man was running wildly on foot, and I don't know how they could catch up with the horse.
After him, knights rushed in one after another. After they rushed in, they ran along the school field without colliding with each other. More and more people rushed in, but the scene was not chaotic at all. They walked through each other.
, passed by each other, but after the two sides rushed through, they still maintained the same formation as before entering Wengcheng. The corners of Poduo Luogu's eyes twitched, while Yao Xiong and others were stunned at this moment.
Yao Xiong muttered, as if he was cursing something.
They quickly began to form an array in front of the general platform. At this moment, Tian Zili finally understood why Cui Gang said that the soldiers here were not soldiers from the Central Plains.
These are indeed not soldiers, they are more like low-level officers. Everyone has his own army, with knights as the core, forming a combat unit. It is said that there are thirty people under the command of those small garrison leaders, but actually there are thirty
Such a combat unit.
Because of the ancestral system, the Han people cannot serve as soldiers, so when calculating, these Cangtou slaves are often not counted, only the knights are counted, and then the record will show that more than a hundred people defeated tens of thousands of people.
After a while, Liu Taozi's front was filled with military households.
Without the command of mid-level officers such as the garrison commander, they still formed a formation. Looking around, the knights were holding horses and armed to the teeth. Their armors were flashing with cold light. Their eyes were fierce and they were looking forward. They looked forward with ferocious looks and waists.
They were equipped with waist knives and large bows on their horses. The blue-headed slaves standing on their left and right also stood upright. They were not the same as the slaves who were about to be starved to death outside the city. They were also tall and tall.
Extraordinary momentum.
There are no common people in this city, only knights, their families, their slaves, and the slaves' families.
The knights gathered together and looked at the stranger on the general platform. Their garrison leader could not be seen from either side.
Suddenly they started talking loudly.
Yao Xiong swallowed his saliva as he looked at the knight army of this size. After following Liu Taozi, the warrior had a panicked look in his eyes for the first time. If he couldn't suppress it well, might he be slaughtered directly?
Tian Zili realized that those in the deputy garrison commander Wu Bao should be his own military slaves, not Xianbei soldiers. In other words, he and his men were almost killed by a group of slaves?
A knight said to the left and right: "That's the new garrison leader!!"
He was the one who stopped Liu Taozi at the city gate, and he was excitedly saying something to his left and right people.
Liu Taozi took a step forward and looked at the army in front of him.
"I am the new chief of the garrison, Liu Taozi!!"
Hearing these words, several knights suddenly laughed, "Why did you send fruit?! Why didn't you send meat?!"
Someone laughed and the scene became noisy again.
Liu Taozi said loudly: "I'm just here to make meat!! Someone, come!!"
he shouted.
His voice was so loud that it could even overwhelm the knights in front of him.
I saw people pushing carts all the way towards Jiangtai. Those carts were filled with food, money, and dried meat.
The knights looked at this scene in shock, and the school grounds suddenly fell silent.
There were more and more cars, and soon enough, there were already mountains of supplies piled up on the side.
Liu Taozi looked at everyone, "I didn't bring these! When I came, I came empty-handed!"
"Every year, Khan distributes a large amount of food and attaches great importance to Wuchuan!!"
"But every year, they say there is not enough food to distribute, and they say the soldiers are starving."
"The Khan really didn't understand what this meant, so he sent me to investigate!"
"I asked a witch to do a divination, and the result was: It's not that there's not enough food! It's because there's a fucking traitor who's stealing it!!"
"He Laiqian in the garrison led the garrison leaders to deduct the money and food distributed to you!! These are all found from his house, not all!!"
In an instant, there was an uproar in the school grounds. Both the knights and the Cangtou slaves around them became extremely chaotic at this moment.
Liu Taozi looked at Tian Zili again, and then a knight brought the heads of these people to the platform and threw them casually in front of Liu Taozi.
Looking at these familiar heads and the many knights under his command, some were frightened, some were angry, some were doubtful, and some were happy, with different expressions.
Liu Taozi looked at them again, "Now, the meat is available."
“But, are you qualified to eat meat?!!”
Liu Taozi asked loudly.
The knights were furious, and the Cangtou slave banged the ground with his weapon to express his dissatisfaction.
There was a roar of people, and some knights were already eager to catch the great garrison leader.
This group of people were very good at fighting, but their ferocity was also real ferocity. Later, the famous Jiedushi Wei Boya soldiers were sold on the street, and the "Three Towns of Heshuo" were similar to this place.
But Liu Taozi was not afraid at all. He shouted: "Khan has supported you for a long time. Why haven't you seen any military achievements in Wuchuan in the past few years?!"
The knight shouted: "Without military orders, who dares to go out to fight?! It is obvious that the temple does not allow us to fight, so how can we get military glory?!"
Liu Taozi looked at Tu Xiyue, "Is that so?!"
Tu Xiyue was stunned and hurriedly replied: "General, these are all Nahe Laiqian and others. They wanted the enemy's benefits and promised them not to go out to fight, so they failed to achieve military exploits."
At this moment, a knight was already yelling, "You damn He Laigan, why didn't I know about this?"
Liu Taozi looked at everyone again, "He doesn't dare to lead you to fight, but I dare!"
"I have plenty of military pay and ordnance here! However, it still depends on whether you are qualified to get it!!"
"Chu has both!!"
Liu Taozi opened her mouth again and saw a person flash out from behind Liu Taozi and quickly walked to Liu Taozi's side.
At this moment, he has already put on the attire of a magician. Once this attire comes out, even the fiercest knight has to restrain himself a little. Liu Taozi said: "Come to divine and see which day is suitable for going out to fight!
!”
Chu Jiande immediately started to do it, and the smell was still familiar. He surrounded Liu Taozi, jumping back and forth, with strange and strange steps, the magic weapon in his hand made a clattering sound, and he hummed something in his mouth.
The entire school grounds were extremely silent, and everyone stared at him intently.
After a long time, Chu Jiande threw some stones from his arms, lay down on the stones, and looked back and forth.
He finally stood up and looked at Liu Taozi beside him.
"My lord, in three days, go to the northeast and win a great victory!"
Cui Gang was stunned, and then he heard this guy's voice. Isn't this the ugly doctor? How did he become a wizard? And what is this divination?
The knights looked at each other, Liu Taozi raised his sword and looked at everyone, "Listen to my order and go back to rest. After three days, go to the northeast of the city and perform meritorious deeds with me!!!"
A few sharp-eyed people suddenly changed their expressions when they looked at the familiar sword.
They did not respond, but they did not rush to capture Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi led the rest of the group, packed the food, left the school grounds, and returned to the official office.
The next moment, the entire campus became extremely noisy.
The most famous knights among them gathered together.
"what to do?!"
"Do you want to listen to him?"
Someone frowned and said, "If you don't listen to him, then whoever listens to him? He will kill all those who give orders. The only one left is Tu Xiyue, who has become his dog."
"This guy is so fast."
"Did you see his sword just now? That sword looks familiar to me."
"Don't worry about the sword. If he can keep his word and can really lead us to achieve military exploits, get rewards, and make up for the general's salary, then what about listening to him?"
"Then let's see first. If he can really do it, then listen."
"What if it can't be done?"
"Hey, let Khan send someone else who can do it!"
Everyone was talking loudly and unabashedly. At the same time, Liu Taozi led people to the official office. Cui Gang was following Liu Taozi, trying to persuade him.
"General, how can you use divination to make military decisions?"
"This is really inappropriate. It's the Book of Changes. It's okay to use it to predict good and bad luck, but it's really ridiculous to use it in battle!!"
Cui Gang plucked up the courage, pointed at Chu Jiande and said, "Besides, what he did just now is not Zhouyi at all. It is the method of the Hu people. It really cannot be used for fighting."
When Chu Jiande heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing, "Then would you like to make a bet with me?"
Cui Gang frowned and said seriously: "I'm not trying to compete with you, I just think it's inappropriate to do so."
Yao Xiong stepped forward and spoke, "You think you are not sure, Lao Chu dares to speak so freely. Four days after Zili found it from He Laiqian's house, he and Xi Ren were planning to attack Shuangyang in the north of the city.
Road trade.”
"We, this time we are going to fight Xi Ren's caravan."
Cui Gang suddenly asked: "But what if the news spreads and Xi Ren fails to arrive on time?"
Tian Zili then said quietly: "I have already asked clearly. It takes twenty days to get here from the place where Xi Ren grazes. In other words, Xi Ren's caravan is already on the way now, which means he knows the situation here.
, we are still on the way back. Besides, we just said that we can win by walking to the northeast in three days, but we didn't say how long we have to walk. If we can't find it, we can go all the way north and cross the Great Wall.
Are you still afraid that you won’t meet the barbarians?”
Cui Gang was immediately speechless.
Tian Zili added: "I know that Cui Gong has read many books, but although we people are dull and uneducated, we still know the principles of doing things and will not talk nonsense or act haphazardly. Cui Gong does not need to despise us so much."
Cui Gang was quite anxious, "I didn't, I just."
"Okay, get ready for war."
Liu Taozi spoke, Tian Zili glanced at Cui Gang again and said nothing.
Yao Xiong said with a smile at this moment: "My brother is the most capable. This group of people is really different from the Xianbei people in Cheng'an and different from the Boling people. By the way, who are the people wearing headscarves around them?"
"Cangtou slave."
Cui Gang explained: "The military households in the six towns at the beginning were not all Xianbei people. In fact, they were very mixed. There were all kinds of people, including Han people, Xianbei people, and Huns. They are the current Wuchuan knights. The real Xianbei people are afraid
Not much, there are still many other races.”
"They gathered here, thinking they were frontier fortresses, and despised all the ethnic groups in the Central Plains. Even the Xianbei people in the Central Plains were looked down upon by them."
"Those around them are their personal followers. Most of them are Cangtou slaves composed of Han people. They are responsible for carrying supplies and following the battle. They are fundamentally different from other slaves. The other military slaves are responsible for doing hard labor and responsible work.
Farming, you can kill if you want. The Cangtou slaves are the personal followers of the knights and are highly valued. If the knights are developed, then their Cangtou slaves can also be promoted and become generals. In the current dynasty, there are Cangtou slaves.
general"
Liu Taozi didn't know what she was thinking of, and her eyes flickered.
"Tuxiyue!!"
Liu Taozi suddenly shouted, Tu Xiyue walked forward quickly and lowered his head towards Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi asked: "Is there any restaurant in this city?"
Tu Xiyue was stunned, "No."
"What about the surrounding area?"
"There is a market on the Qinpopo side on the way to Huaishuo. Businessmen from Jinyang usually trade there. There is a big restaurant owner there who is very enthusiastic. He used to give us food. Like a few
There is also a friendship between the two garrison commanders."
Tu Xiyue asked suspiciously: "General, why do you ask this?"
"No problem."
"You set out now, take two people with you, and bring back all the people in the restaurant. If they are compliant, treat them with courtesy. If they resist, try to capture them alive."
"only!!"
