Yao Xiong led the cavalry and was driving quickly on the dilapidated official road.
He has a horse under his crotch, and there are human heads hanging on both sides.
The knights behind him were also stabbing heads with spears. There were more than a hundred of them, and they were advancing rapidly at the moment.
They looked all the way, looking left and right with vigilance.
Yao Xiong led everyone down the high slope and met two knights. The two knights were talking and laughing as they moved forward. Behind them were several Cangtou slaves, who were holding a few cangtou slaves in their arms.
These women were all tied up and were struggling wildly.
The two men suddenly raised their heads, saw Yao Xiong who suddenly met, their expressions changed drastically, they yelled and ran away.
"Chase me!!!"
Yao Xiong angrily issued a military order, and the knights dispersed and pursued them.
Yao Xiong shot several arrows in succession and easily hit two Cangtou slaves. The others continued to flee, but Yao Xiong became fierce and bit them hard.
The horse spread its hooves and ran wildly, startling countless birds and beasts along the way.
One after another, the knights either fell off their horses or were trapped by ropes. The last one also fell off his horse due to fatigue. Yao Xiong led the people to surround him.
The man hurriedly raised his head, out of breath, and said: "General, army! Let me go! I will definitely reward you generously!"
Yao Xiong was also out of breath. Racing on horseback was quite strenuous work.
He frowned and stared at the knight fiercely.
"The general has an order that strictly prohibits loitering and bullying the people. You are violating both."
"Spare me, I have quite a few problems at home"
"Pfft!"
Yao Xiong fired the arrow, and the man was pierced through the chest and fell to the ground.
Yao Xiong then jumped off his horse, cut off the opponent's head, and searched for documents from his body. He ordered the knight to interrogate the captured Cangtou slaves and knights, while he went to interrogate the women.
The women gathered around, with despair written all over their faces. They looked at these ferocious knights in horror, trembling all over.
Yao Xiong cleared his throat, "Don't be afraid! I am the military governor Shi under General Hu Fen!"
"My general strictly prohibits bullying the people. I have already killed those people. Where do you come from?"
Hearing his inquiry, one of the older women cried and said: "General, we are from Zhoujia Village, Anyuan County. They broke into the village this morning, killed dozens of villagers, robbed food, and
Let's rob it."
"My poor beloved"
As the woman spoke, she suddenly started crying again.
Yao Xiong frowned and looked at the blue-headed slaves who were begging for mercy, "Damn it, the general warned you all, you guys are just farting?!"
"Which garrison are they from?"
A knight walked over quickly, holding the documents he had just found, and looked at Yao Xiong, "Mr. Yao, these people are all from Hushan Pass."
"Hushan?? Oh, okay, Chulian Abi, you take two brothers, send these women back to their homes, and inform the local villagers that if you encounter such a thing again, you can complain to Wuchuan!
!”
"only!!"
"The rest of you, take the prisoners and follow me!!"
Yao Xiong immediately led everyone to leave the place in a hurry.
The so-called Hushan Pass does not actually have a mountain. It is sandwiched between the intersection of Anyuan and Wuchuan. There are two extending high slopes. The contours resemble the two front paws of a tiger, so it is named Hushan Pass.
This Guanjin is just a minor official, with a military household of no more than a hundred people. There is a Guanjin Lieutenant, but it belongs to the general who returns to the town.
When Yao Xiong led his men to fight here, it immediately aroused the alert here. The knights immediately entered a defensive state. When Captain Hushan saw the identity of the visitor, he asked them to open the Guanjin Gate.
Go down and greet Yao Xiong in person.
This man knew Yao Xiong. He had a smile on his face and was about to say hello when he saw the acquaintances who were being escorted over from behind.
At this moment, Lieutenant Hushan's face turned extremely ugly.
Yao Xiong did not dismount, but looked at him fiercely, "Guan Wei, these people are all your subordinates, right? Did you give them the credentials when they went out?!"
Lieutenant Hushan hurriedly saluted, "Yao Gong, how dare I disobey the general's order? They sneaked out and I was careless."
"Count the number of people. If there are three more people, you should lose your head."
"You should deal with these people in public and control your army."
Lieutenant Hushan couldn't help but said: "General, they don't have any female relatives. They always stay in the pass, and I'm not good at it either."
"So you let them go out and rob people?"
"Don't dare!! I'll deal with them right away!"
"After dealing with it, remember to go to Wuchuan to lead the army stick."
"only"
Yao Xiong stared straight at Lieutenant Hushan, "I see you are a little dissatisfied??"
"Don't dare."
"It's okay if you don't accept it. If you don't accept it, just continue like this. There are still three people left. Don't forget, there are only three people left!!"
Yao Xiong threw the prisoners to the other party, turned around and left.
Captain Hushan watched them go away, and then walked up to those people. They immediately shouted, "Please forgive us! We have made many military exploits, how can we be executed for such a trivial matter?"
Woolen cloth?!"
"We are willing to take the blame and make meritorious service!!"
Lieutenant Hushan gritted his teeth and said coldly: "I forgive you, but who will forgive me?"
"Come here, take them to the school grounds and behead them as a show to the entire army!!!"
"Let's see who dares to run out. Damn, if you want to kill me, I'll chop you first!!"
Yao Xiong could hear Captain Hushan's roar from a long distance away. He recorded the other party's crimes and led the people to move on.
After setting the three major bans, Liu Taozi organized an inspection army in the name of He Bacheng. They patrolled back and forth in various places to check whether there were any violations of the general's orders.
The military discipline in the frontier fortress is abysmal. Even after a clear ban is issued, there are still many people who go out to cause harm to the place, kill the people, and avoid drills.
Regarding this situation, Liu Taozi was very determined and directly ordered him to be executed on the spot.
When these warlords patrolled around and killed violators one after another, and when one officer after another was pulled out and beheaded because of their subordinates, there were far fewer such beasts.
Of course, this was not all smooth sailing. At one point, they attacked the incoming military governor, hoping to make things worse and force Liu Taozi to bow his head.
As a result, this place was bulldozed by Wuchuan soldiers.
A total of eighty-six military households, including Cangtou slaves, who participated in the rebellion were all executed.
Yao Xiong looked at the book he had recorded and couldn't help but nod. He looked at the knights on the left and right and said with a smile: "It's quite effective. I only caught seven today, and there are fewer and fewer."
"However, the lives of the people in this frontier fortress are really miserable. This group of frontier soldiers seem to be honest and honest, but they specialize in causing harm to the people in the frontier fortress. I once thought that Cheng'an was scary enough, but I didn't expect that there is a place more terrifying than Cheng'an.
Two of these knights are enough to slaughter a village."
The knight following him nodded in agreement.
These people are all direct descendants of Liu Taozi and were brought from Dingzhou.
They used to engage in local plunder, but compared to this group of people who easily slaughtered villages, they seemed much kinder.
Just as Yao Xiong was chatting with them and continuing to patrol, he encountered another group of people.
Yao Xiong couldn't even tell how many men and horses the other party had. They passed through the dense forest and galloped towards them in a mighty force.
Seeing this scale, Yao Xiong, who had been so proud just now, immediately lost his composure and hurriedly sent someone to inquire.
Soon, the knight sent to inquire came back, "Yao Gong, please make it clear that the person who came is Shunyang County Prince, Shuozhou Governor Shedi Huiluo. He is going to Wuchuan to meet General Zhen!"
"Ah?? What a great official!"
Yao Xiong quickly stuck his head out and looked into the crowd, wanting to see who the high-ranking official was.
The knight added: "He asked Mr. Yao to go and see him, saying he had something important to ask!"
Yao Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then followed the knight towards the army.
The knights passed by Yao Xiong, and they were all extremely fierce. Even compared with the Wuchuan soldiers, they seemed to be not inferior. Yao Xiong made his way to the middle of the team and finally saw the high official.
She Di Huiluo was extremely tall, almost as tall as Liu Taozi, and he looked powerful, as did the war horse under his crotch.
He has a dark complexion and a short beard, which makes him look untouchable.
"Meet the Governor!"
"Follow me."
Shedi Huiluo just waved his hand, and Yao Xiong followed him and walked beside him.
She Di Huiluo was riding a tall horse, which felt quite oppressive. Walking beside him, Yao Xiong had the illusion that he was walking beside his brother, and he did not dare to breathe loudly.
He slowly asked: "Are you Liu Taozi's subordinate?"
Yao Xiong quickly replied: "Exactly!"
Shedi Huiluo looked at the heads on both sides of Yao Xiong's horse and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you kill so many people?"
"Returning to the Governor, these people are all disobedient to military orders. Death is not a pity."
"Oh, it would be a pity if anyone dies."
Shedi sighed when he returned to Luo, and suddenly asked: "I heard that your general has an old relationship with Bu Liugu?"
Yao Xiong blinked, "General, I don't understand Xianbei dialect, and I don't know what Bu Liu Gu You Jiu means."
Shedi Huiluo suddenly laughed, "You seem reckless, but you're actually pretending. Forget it, go ahead and lead the way!"
Yao Xiong saluted again and left quickly on horseback.
After Yao Xiong left, Hui Luo's expression turned grim. He looked at the person next to him. The man was much younger and had a long beard. Facing Hui Luo's gaze, he said: "My lord, actually you don't
It's time to come in person. I went there to support you, and this matter has become a little different. Although the Prime Minister values ​​you very much, he still shouldn't leave any clues."
Hui Luo sneered, "You don't understand."
"Just your past will have no effect."
"I'm going, you open your mouth, that's how it works."
The man pursed his lips and said, "I hope my lord can restrain his temper a little and stop arguing with the villain."
Hui Luo nodded, his face becoming kind again, "I understand, you don't need to say more, just do what I asked you to do."
"only!!"
This group of people walked for a long time, and under the leadership of Yao Xiong and others, they finally arrived outside Wuchuan.
Hui Luo looked at the solid city from a distance, his face was complicated, and his eyes were full of unspeakable emotions.
The knights in front got out of the way and returned to Luo, surrounded by knights on both sides, all the way to the gate of Wuchuan City.
He Bacheng, Liu Taozi and others were gathered at the gate of the city at this moment.
He Bacheng hurriedly walked over and bowed to Shedi Huiluoxing.
"General He Bac of the town is here to pay his respects to the king!!"
Hui Luo nodded, motioned for him to get up, and quickly targeted Liu Taozi in the crowd.
He immediately dismounted. He Bacheng was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the horse for him. Huiluo nodded to him with a smile and walked quickly to Liu Taozi, sizing him up.
"My subordinate, General Hu Fen, Liu Taozi, pays homage to the king."
Hui Luo suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the sword at Liu Taozi's waist. Liu Taozi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, directly grabbed Hui Luo's arm.
Hui Luo exerted force suddenly, but couldn't pull it back. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He exerted force again, and Liu Taozi also began to exert force.
He Bacheng looked at this scene and hurriedly stepped forward again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"
Hui Luo suddenly relaxed his grip, laughed and said, "Won't you let go, my dear nephew?"
Liu Taozi let go of her hand, Hui Luo rubbed her wrist, and said with emotion: "I'm old, I'm old. If King Gao finds out about this, he will laugh to death."
He suddenly looked at Liu Taozi again, "Did your grandfather give you the sword?"
"It was given by General Lou."
"Oh, yes, it seems to be for Lou Rui."
"Let's go in first and then we'll talk."
Hui Luo took the lead towards the city, and the rest of the people followed him. He Bacheng was confused. Hui Luo walked into Wuchuan, looked around, and sighed again, "The days are passing so fast. I haven't seen this in many years."
Been here before."
The group of people returned to the government office in a grand manner, and He Bacheng hurriedly began to arrange the welcoming ceremony, but Huiluo didn't seem to pay much attention to these.
He Bacheng led several important officers to sit in front of Hui Luo. These people were more afraid of Hui Luo than they were of Liu Taozi. They all lowered their heads and did not even dare to raise their heads.
Hui Luo asked He Bacheng about the situation in the place in detail.
A servant served the meat, and he was not polite when he returned to Luo. He just followed the local customs and tore it open with his hands to eat. There was no pretense of a county king at all.
Everyone immediately relaxed a lot.
Hui Luo then looked at Liu Taozi, and he said: "My dear nephew, you have done a lot of great things in these days. How long have you been here? The number of military households who have died in your hands has already been greater than that of Puppet Zhou."
If you still follow the killing methods of your wise nephew, wouldn’t this frontier fortress be completely wiped out by you?”
"An undisciplined army can go out and bully the creeps, but if it wants to fight the Western bandits, it cannot win."
Liu Taozi gave the answer.
Hui Luo nodded, "I don't object to this. What you are saying is that if a soldier disobeys the general's orders, he will die."
"It's just that this system is dead and people are alive. We can't go too far. My dear nephew, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. I have heard about your three prohibitions. Yes, very good."
"This is the first time in these years that someone wants to rectify the border troops and clean up military discipline."
"It's just that you can't squeeze your fist too tightly."
Hui Luo slowly raised his fist, "Even through the gaps between your fingers, you have to leave some space. The soldiers here are arrogant, and your method of treatment will not work."
"If something happens to the border soldiers, both Hengzhou and Shuozhou will be affected. As the governor of Shuozhou, I cannot ignore such things."
"I came here specifically to inform you of this matter, my dear nephew, the three prohibitions do not need to be banned, but they cannot be too severe."
Hui Luo slowly moved his fist in front of Liu Taozi and looked at him faintly, "Do you know?"
At this moment, his face was not as friendly as before, and his whole person was extremely serious. Everyone present was so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.
Liu Taozi stared at Huiluo in front of him, "Your Majesty is the local governor, and the border soldiers are not under your jurisdiction. If I manage my border soldiers, what does it have to do with your Majesty?"
Hui Luo suddenly laughed, "You kid, even your grandpa wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!"
He looked at the people in front of him and said with a smile: "This newborn calf is indeed not afraid of tigers!"
No one dared to laugh, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Hui Luo stretched his neck and said, "I'm old, I'm old. I haven't been on the road for a long time, and my body is about to fall apart. I'm going to rest for a while, and then let my wife continue to eat with you on my behalf!"
He stood up, took a deep look at Liu Taozi, turned around and left, and everyone hurriedly saw him off.
After he left, the young man who was following Hui Luo smiled and saluted everyone, and then sat next to Liu Taozi.
"General Liu, you are admirable for your skill in running the army. My general is willing to go to the temple to ask for your merits. What do you think?"
Liu Taozi had a straight face and said nothing.
Biejia was still smiling, and he looked at the rest of the people, "Everyone, don't be restrained. Eat, just eat."
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and started eating, but no one dared to raise their heads.
He Bacheng swallowed, and he carefully sat next to Biejia, "Xu Biejia, I really don't understand why the king is so concerned about the military affairs here. What is wrong with these three prohibitions?"
Biejia smiled, but he still looked at Liu Taozi.
"Then I will speak out."
"General Liu, how can it be that the soldiers here don't have banditry? It's right to run an army, but you have to do harm when it's time to harm the place. How can you prohibit the soldiers from going out and harm the place?"
"ah??"
He Bacheng was stunned, his eyes widened, "I still don't quite understand."
Biejia continued to signal for everyone to eat and drink. He took a sip of wine and then looked at He Bacheng and Liu Taozi in front of him with a half-smile.
"General Liu."
"Tell me, why does my king spend so much effort raising his own soldiers?"
"Isn't it just to protect the people of the prefectures and counties from being invaded by border soldiers?"
"As soon as the three prohibitions are issued, the border soldiers will no longer come to harm the people. Then won't my king's soldiers be raised in vain?"
"You want military glory, you want to be promoted, you want to get rich. This is right, and I can understand it. Who doesn't love it? But you can't block other people's roads, right?"
"It's not easy for my king, so let's take a step back."
"Every month, you will give the soldiers two days to go out and relax. My king will definitely take care of you two in the future. Promotion and wealth will not be a problem, how about that?"
