Chapter 161 Why not kill?
Xu Biejia's expression changed, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Ji Yaner, is the general here to pay homage to the king?"
Liu Taozi asked slowly: "I'm just curious about you. Your surname is Xu. What is your origin?"
Xu Biejia smiled sarcastically, "My mother's original surname is Yuan."
"Oh, it's the bastard Xianbei."
Xu Biejia's face turned dark and he stopped talking.
Liu Taozi looked at He Bacheng, "General, I'm here to take you back."
"It's cold outside, so why not go inside and warm yourself up."
"Why should you be humiliated by a villain here? Even when you see She Di Hui Luo, you will be humiliated in the same way. There is no difference."
"Go back."
Looking at Liu Taozi in front of him, He Bacheng didn't say anything, he just glanced at Xu Biejia, turned around and left.
Xu Biejia hurriedly said: "I'll sue."
Liu Taozi took a step forward, made a quick move, grabbed Xu Chai's neck, and pulled him to her side. At this moment, the knights who followed Hui Luo not far away were shocked and stepped forward. , a group of soldiers walked out from the shadows, all of them Liu Taozi's cronies. They were all holding spears and confronting the people in front of them.
Xu Biejia hurriedly shouted towards his family: "Don't do anything!!"
"Don't do it!!"
He looked at Liu Taozi, who was grabbing his neck, with a relaxed smile on his face: "General Liu can't kill me. I am an official officially appointed by the temple, and I have not committed any crime. Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion."
When He Ba appeared, he hurried back again, "Brother Liu, forget it, forget it, don't argue with this person! It's not worth it!"
Liu Taozi also laughed.
"You're right."
"I can't kill an official."
Liu Taozi punched the opponent in the face. Xu Biejia just screamed. He Bacheng saw Liu Taozi throwing the opponent to the ground and pressing him with his knees. He waved his hand like that, and there was something in his hand. A short dagger appeared.
"Pfft~~"
"Ugh!!!"
Liu Taozi stood up and held something in her hand. He Bacheng took a closer look and saw that it was a human tongue.
Xu Biejia was lying on the ground, covering her mouth, rolling back and forth due to severe pain, letting out bursts of muffled screams, and was in unbearable pain.
The soldiers in the distance were stunned when they saw this scene.
Liu Taozi raised the tongue in her hand and said, "I'll take this thing back and drink it."
When the knights on the opposite side heard this, their eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and they took several steps back. Even He Bacheng, who was beside him, was too frightened to move at this moment. Liu Taozi directly grabbed He Bacheng's arm and carried him with him. He walked towards the official office. Only then did the knight in the distance dare to come up and pick up the rolling Xu Biejia. There were waves of exclamations in the school grounds.
He Ba appeared stiff and followed Liu Taozi into the official office.
Liu Taozi casually discarded the tongue in her hand and took He Bacheng back to the inner room.
Someone had already lit the lights and placed some food and drink.
Liu Taozi took He Bacheng and sat down one after another.
He Bacheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Taozi, "I, I"
"General, don't worry, I don't eat people."
He Bacheng was not amused. He said with a straight face, "The current situation is really very dangerous."
"General, why did the Prime Minister send me here to take up my official post?"
He Bacheng was stunned, "I don't know."
"The general actually knew that, so he kept allowing me to do things, so he didn't write that kind of statement to the other party."
He Bacheng's face looked sad. He suddenly took the drink from in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine is very bitter.
"So what if I know? There is no chance of winning!"
"The Prime Minister will not help us openly, but even if we do it, in the end he will throw us out in order to appease your nobles!"
"I just want to get some military glory, live a prosperous life, marry some good-looking women, and have some fat boys. Is there anything wrong with this?!"
He Bacheng raised his head, his eyes red.
"Why is it so difficult? My father died for the sake of the country, and my uncle is the current Taibao, a high-ranking official. Why is it so difficult?!"
"I was looked down upon by people in Youzhou, saying that I was relying on my uncle. I led troops several times and defeated many bandits, but I still couldn't get recognition. I came to the frontier this time, hoping to get more
Establish military merit and stand out."
"But the soldiers here didn't listen to me, and everything didn't go smoothly."
"I finally met Brother Liu, and I was planning to follow him into a big fight, but he encountered such a disaster again."
"Time? Fate?"
Liu Taozi also picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
"This is nothing. He Bajun is young, but he has already sat in a position that ordinary people dare not aspire to. It has been difficult for him to have enough food and clothing since he was a child. How can he surpass the others?"
He Bacheng was stunned and drank again.
"It's true, it's true, because I have a good uncle, I don't even deserve to complain."
"That's not what I said, Mr. He Ba. I still say the same thing, if people don't save themselves, it will be hard for God to save them."
"You show your timidity in everything, hesitate again and again, and don't dare to take action. Is this what a man does?!"
"When a man is born in this world, he should stand upright to the sky and the earth. As you said, if you can't eat five cauldrons when you are alive, and you will be cooked by five cauldrons when you die. In such a miserable world, what is there to fear about death?"
"It's just a matter of death, so why hesitate and be afraid?!"
He Bacheng looked at him suddenly, "But my uncle."
"Didn't Taibao Heba say that he has nothing to do with you? Whether you are killed or killed, it has nothing to do with him."
"Would Mr. He Ba be willing to be killed, or would you rather follow me and kill someone?!"
He Bacheng's expression became excited, and he slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him. His hands were shaking all the time, and the wine was splashing everywhere. He was shaking like this, and he stuffed the wine into his mouth randomly, and the wine followed.
The corners of his mouth flowed everywhere, soaking his clothes. He trembled and wiped the stains from his mouth, "They are all people, and they all have one head and two hands."
"If you cannot rectify the border army, the Prime Minister will kill me. If you rectify the border army, King Shunyang will kill me."
"How can he kill me, but I can't kill him?"
He Bacheng looked at Liu Taozi, his eyes full of cruelty, "Brother Liu, what do you think?!"
"The Prime Minister is quite hesitant. We can help the Prime Minister make a decision sooner."
"good."
"General Laofengzhen has now summoned his cronies and many garrison chiefs."
Liu Taozi suddenly raised the wine in her hand and drank it all in one gulp, her expression extremely ferocious.
"He wants to cause the border soldiers to cause chaos?"
"Then we will listen to him."
In the South Campus.
Hui Luoyin sat on the upper seat with a sullen face.
Xu Biejia was lying in front of him, moaning in pain.
The accompanying military doctor was trying to find a way to stop his bleeding.
Hui Luo's eyes were cold and there was unspeakable anger on his face, almost ready to explode in the next moment.
He suddenly looked at the military doctor and said coldly, "With such an injury, he should die, right?"
The military doctor was stunned, his eyes widened, he thought carefully about the other party's words, and nodded cautiously, "Yes, he will die."
Xu Biejia was shocked when he heard this. He was about to get up immediately, but was held down by the soldiers on the left and right. He could only whine in pain.
Hui Luo looked at him calmly, "Don't worry."
"Killing an official is a serious crime."
"capital offense."
"I will avenge you, and I will never let the villain who killed you live."
Xu Bijia shouted in horror, but the soldiers had already prepared the wet cowhide and started to put it on his face.
He struggled wildly, but couldn't move at all.
Hui Luo sat in front of him and watched the soldiers take action. After a long time, Xu Biejia finally became completely motionless. He lay on the ground motionless.
Hui Luo's eyes were full of sadness, "His father has always been friendly to me. It's a pity."
"What a pity."
Then, his eyes were filled with fierceness.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood."
"Boom!!"
“Dong dong dong!!!!”
Suddenly the sound of fierce war drums came from outside. At this moment, Huiluo jumped up suddenly and looked out the door in surprise.
A knight rushed in quickly, "Your Majesty!! They are gathering knights at the Western University Campus!!"
"What?!"
The fierce war drums became louder and louder, until the entire city came to life and thunderous drums erupted throughout the city.
The knights in the school grounds came out one after another, and their expressions changed drastically as they listened to the sound of war drums that completely enveloped them.
Panic finally appeared on Hui Luo's face, "These bastards, bastards, are they really rebelling?!"
He quickly drew out his sword and said, "Bring me my horse! Go quickly!!"
A knight came hurriedly with his horse, Hui Luo shouted: "Organize the whole army immediately, don't panic!! Open the two school gates!!"
The South Campus was in a state of panic at the moment.
Huiluo organized his army at an extremely fast speed and quickly set up defenses at the two gates.
It was already dark at the moment, and if we chose to break out, given the disparity in numbers, we might be afraid that something big would happen.
It's best to set up defenses and let the enemy in to fight.
Night is not good for your own defense, but it is also bad for the enemy's attack.
As long as he can survive until daylight, he can persuade the soldiers who participated in the rebellion to throw away their weapons.
Huiluo organized a counterattack according to his own way of thinking.
However, no enemies rushed in at the two school grounds gates, and they remained empty even after they were opened wide.
The thundering drums were getting louder and louder, with no intention of stopping.
Hui Luo didn't dare to fight out at this moment. Although the roads in the city were flat, they were particularly suitable for ambushes, and there was no place to hide.
He hurriedly arranged for his troops to go out to investigate, while he continued to organize the army and deal with it carefully.
He really didn't expect that this group of thieves would actually dare to rebel!!
If he had known this, he would not have come like this.
However, Hui Luo is not afraid. He has experienced countless battles. Not to mention Liu Taozi, even if his grandfather comes, he can easily defeat the opponent.
At the same time, the gate to the west school field had already been opened wide.
Liu Taozi and He Ba led the army and charged out.
But they did not rush towards the South Campus in the city, but they rushed all the way south.
The soldiers followed behind the general in a mighty manner. They didn't know where they were going, but they didn't dare to disobey the general's orders.
The army of thousands of people, all wearing light armor, swept away like a strong wind. Relying on their excellent organizational skills, they were able to march quickly even in the dark. Of course, a forced march would not be possible.
.
Liu Taozi charged forward, facing the strong wind, and all his clothes were rustling.
He Bacheng gritted his teeth and rushed to his side, his eyes full of anger.
The closest ones to them were the two soldiers, and behind them were the garrison soldiers.
At the same time, the drums in the school grounds were still beating, but they were no longer as loud as before.
Hui Luo listened to the drums carefully and looked at the school gate again.
At this moment, his army was well prepared, with layers of wooden shields facing the surroundings, forming a very strong defensive formation, leaving gaps for easy evacuation at any time, and even simple fire prevention fortifications were piled with stones.
The scouts he sent out have not returned yet.
Hui Luo gritted his teeth and his face became increasingly fierce. Several times, he wanted to lead the cavalry and kill them directly.
However, with the weather like this, if someone were to hide behind the city wall and fire a volley, half of his elite would be destroyed. It would be difficult to reveal his identity and he would not be able to push back those soldiers.
Huiluo stood in the middle, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
He knew that Tao Zi was someone who was not easy to mess with, so he came in person just to scare the other party and force him to bow his head.
But he didn't expect that the other party would be so crazy that he would not hesitate to rebel!!
He just wants to make some money and doesn't want to lose his life here.
He licked his lips and his face became increasingly gloomy.
The sky is constantly changing.
The stars slowly disappeared, and the visibility became higher and higher. Although it was not bright, you could already see clearly in the distance. The sky was like a gray cloth, occasionally dotted with stars.
Hui Luo gave the order loudly, "Come out!!"
The knights quickly changed their formation, and some front troops rushed out of the school grounds.
They came to the road, looked around cautiously, and then quickly rushed towards the south city gate. The city gate opened wide, as if to welcome them out.
The knights did not hesitate and rushed out one after another, followed by the army.
It only took Huiluo a short time to lead his people out of Wuchuan. They came outside and reorganized the army. Huiluo took the opportunity to look around.
The surrounding area was deserted, with no trace of the army.
Outside the city wall, there was a row of people hanging.
Those were all the scouts he sent. They were all stripped of their clothes and hung on the city wall. However, they did not die. Some of them were still struggling.
Hui Luo looked at all this, his face became more and more frightened.
"No, this guy must have defected to the Western Bandits?!"
"Quick, find someone!"
"Ask where the Wuchuan soldiers are?!"
Shuozhou.
Zhaoyuan County.
The county soldier stood on the city tower, looking at the knights below with surprise in his eyes.
"I am General He Bacheng!!"
"I'm here to transport supplies under the king's order. Open the city quickly!!"
"This is my token!!"
Soon, the county lieutenant took the token and hurried to the city gate, "Quick, open the city gate! Open the city gate!!"
Several county soldiers hurriedly opened the door, and the county lieutenant hurriedly led the people out, ran all the way to He Bacheng, bowed to him, and said, "Greetings to General Heba!!"
"Get up and take us quickly to the palace where the king is. We will deliver things to him! Hurry, we can't stay long!"
"ah?"
The county captain was shocked and said, "There must be a king here."
Liu Taozi stepped forward suddenly and pointed the riding crop at him, "I've delayed the king's affairs, so I have to kill you first!!"
The county lieutenant did not dare to hesitate, and immediately called for horses and led these people into the city.
The sound of horse hooves resounded in the city, frightening the people in the city to close the city gates tightly and not dare to go out.
The county lieutenant took them all the way to the northernmost part of Zhaoyuan County. In front of them was the state government office.
The county lieutenant personally stepped forward and opened the door for them.
"I can't go in"
Before he could finish his words, He Bacheng led the knights and rushed in directly.
"What are you going to do?!"
Two minor officials ran out. Liu Taozi looked at him and asked loudly: "The king is in Wuchuan and wants to reward the army. Where do you put the money and food?!"
"Fart!! How can the king go to the border town to reward the army?! Get out!! Get out!!"
"Pfft!!"
Liu Taozi raised the knife and dropped it. The man's head flew up high. Liu Taozi looked at the other person fiercely, "Where are you putting the money and food?!"
The man was trembling all over and knelt on the ground, "Spare my life! In the south courtyard!!"
Liu Taozi immediately led his men and charged in. Those who blocked the way were killed one after another. In this way, no one dared to stand in the way. The whole state government office was in chaos, and the servants and clerks were screaming and running away in all directions.
They rushed all the way to the south courtyard and opened the door. As soon as they entered, Liu Taozi and others were stunned.
Just like Lou Rui's mansion back then, the south courtyard has already become the other party's private granary.
The grain was piled high, and it was not afraid of getting wet. There was almost no place to stay. This was even more shocking than Lou Rui's grain depot. He Bacheng's eyes widened and he roared angrily: "This old dog!
!!”
"Brothers!! Get food!!!"
"As soon as possible!! Don't delay!! Don't be greedy!!"
Liu Taozi shouted.
At this moment, the knights could no longer sit still. They roared and rushed towards the mountain of grain.
One bag after another was thrown onto the horse's back.
Knights are quite experienced in plundering, especially in plundering their own people.
How much can be moved by one horse, how can it be carried away without affecting the speed, and how can it be carried away more conveniently? These are all big questions in robbery.
And in terms of these knowledge, there is no one in the world who can compare with these border soldiers. Even the Turks, Rouran and Xi people outside the Great Wall cannot compare with them. When it comes to military plunder, the border soldiers are their ancestors!!
The city was in chaos, and the voices from the state government office had already spread out.
The lieutenant sat sluggishly at the door, unable to see clearly what was happening in front of him.
Border soldiers come to plunder, he understands this.
But why the hell did he come to rob the princes and kings?!!
Liu Taozi rushed out of the courtyard with a bag full of millet on his back. The knights followed him one after another. They ignored the county lieutenants sitting aside and charged towards the city gate again.
At this moment, the officials in the city had learned what had happened.
The prefect and other officials began to summon the army.
These officials are also from noble backgrounds and are not afraid of fighting at all.
Soon after Liu Taozi led the army and rushed out of the city gate carrying food on their backs, the officials in the city also led their own private soldiers and even county soldiers to rush out.
Liu Taozi and others fled all the way. The knights' faces were full of excitement. They didn't care where they had just plundered!!
They only know that the food they grabbed is enough for them to eat for a long, long time!!
Just as they were fleeing, a large group of knights suddenly appeared in the distance.
The dusty Huiluo led the army and stood in front of Liu Taozi and others.
Both front and back are enemies.
The speed of Liu Taozi and others slowly decreased until they stopped.
Enemies on both sides surrounded them from front to back.
Hui Luo's face showed indescribable fatigue, mixed with unspeakable grievances.
When he saw the familiar bags carried by Yu Ma, the people in front of him, he even laughed in anger.
He rode forward and stood in front of the formation, holding a horse spear and looking at Liu Taozi fiercely.
"Put down the food, dismount and die!!"
He Bacheng rode forward, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed it at Huiluo.
"This general is leading his troops to get food from the border town!! The governor should get out of the way!!"
When Huiluo heard about it, he immediately raised his head and laughed.
"I am your mother's junior generation!!"
"Hahaha~~~Are you worthy enough to rob me?!"
"Boom, boom, boom."
The sound of war drums slowly came from the distance, interrupting Huiluo's laughter.
Hui Luo stopped laughing, narrowed his eyes, turned around, and looked into the distance.
The sound of war drums slowly approached, becoming increasingly clear and dull.
Some cavalry figures suddenly appeared from a distance. There were more and more of them, more and more, more and more. They were all cavalry all over the mountains and plains.
They fly various flags.
The war horses shook their heads and advanced quickly. The knights looked unruly and looked ahead fiercely, approaching little by little.
They slowly appeared from all directions, and it was hard to count how many there were. The county soldiers in the rear were in chaos, and the horses neighed uneasily.
Those knights in the distance.
They are all border soldiers.
"Provincial Governor, can you please let me go now?"
Chapter completed!
