The sun is dazzling.
Returning to Luo, I was sweating profusely.
Border soldiers are still appearing in a steady stream, and everywhere you can look, there are frontier warriors riding tall horses with fierce faces.
These people were holding horses and short bows on their backs. The closest ones were almost face to face with Huiluo's knights. Their eyes were unruly and fierce. When these people stared at Huiluo's subordinates, these dignitaries raised them.
The veteran soldiers also retreated continuously, and there was a commotion in the formation.
Several lieutenants stared at Huiluo. Although they did not say anything clearly, their eyes were full of urging.
King! You speak!
How to deal with this situation?
Hui Luo pursed his lips and clenched his fists. Although he was not panicked, he was already confused.
As a veteran general, he is very clear about the virtues of these border soldiers. It is because these people are so fierce that the temple has chosen a special management method. It does not set up chief officials, does not set up too high official positions here, and combines local management with border guards.
Separate management, thus scattering them, preventing them from being self-sufficient, and preventing them from uniting.
Because the united frontier soldiers are almost invincible on the land of the frontier fortress.
Huiluo's personal soldiers, plus the private armed forces of nobles from all over Shuo and Heng, plus those county soldiers, couldn't go a round with the gathered border soldiers.
This group of people is another group of savages who only recognize money and food but not official titles.
He knew that he must not conflict with these people. Once a fight actually broke out, he would definitely be defeated and everyone would have their heads taken off. In order to appease the border soldiers, the temple might even put all the crimes on his head.
Even if he dies, he won't be able to rest in peace.
But if you want to avoid it.
Not only did they lose face, these people used to just rob some unworthy people, but this bastard He Bacheng took the lead. In the future, these people will not be satisfied with robbing the people. Shuo, Heng and other noble officials from all over the country
, will all become their targets.
Looking at the silent Hui Luo, Liu Taozi stepped forward on horseback. With such a rush, Hui Luo, who was stunned, was shocked. The horse raised its front hooves high, and Hui Luo was almost overturned. The knight behind him hurried forward.
, protect around him.
Hui Luo looked at Liu Taozi in shock.
Liu Taozi ignored him. He picked up a big bag from his horse, stabbed it hard with his dagger, then picked up the big bag and waved it over his head.
For a time, corns were flying all over the sky.
The frontier soldiers in the distance looked straight in their eyes.
"Brothers!! The food that Khan gave us was withheld in the state government office!! There is still a lot of food!! Come with me to the city to get food!!!"
Liu Taozi roared with all his strength.
At this moment, the knights he brought all shouted with him.
The roar echoed around.
Hui Luo's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted to his left and right: "Get out of the way quickly!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the knights from the border town behind them were so excited that they roared and charged regardless of the royal flag in front of them.
Hui Luo led his left and right people to escape towards the left.
The soldiers behind him did not have such good luck.
The knights of the border town launched a charge and collided with the soldiers of King Shunyang in front of them. The soldiers screamed and fell, and the horses collided.
"Don't block the road!!"
Liu Datou roared angrily and chopped down the knight in front of him with one knife.
Huiluo listened to the shouts of killing, buried his head, and fled frantically to the left, trying to escape the charging route of the border soldiers. However, there were too many border soldiers, and it took him a long time to rush out.
, and was finally hit from the side by the charging knights.
His left and right people raised their swords and shouted angrily, fighting with these people, but they were overwhelmed in a moment.
When Hui Luo saw that something was wrong, he quickly turned his horse's head and ran away in the direction of Liu Taozi.
At this moment, Liu Taozi and others had turned around, and He Bacheng raised his sword and pointed at Zhaoyuan County opposite.
"rush!!!"
The knights brought by Liu Taozi charged towards Zhaoyuan again.
The nobles who had originally chased them out were now shouting in fear and running away one after another. It was easier for them to hide than Huiluo, as long as they didn't block the city gate.
The knights rushed to the city again, but this time, no one dared to get angry.
The officials in the city screamed and fled in all directions. The private soldiers who had been so aggressive just now were galloping on their horses and did not dare to stay.
Hui Luo was trapped in the border soldiers and ran towards the city gate. He did not dare to slow down. Once he slowed down, he would be overwhelmed by the knights behind him. He was just mixed in with the border soldiers.
, rushed all the way into his own city.
After entering the city, some soldiers shouted: "Go to the left! Your Majesty, go to the left!!"
Huiluo did not dare to delay, turned the horse's head, and rushed directly into the alley on the left. When he rushed into the alley, he could no longer hold on, fell off the horse and fell straight to the ground. The surviving soldiers
They quickly dismounted and helped him up.
At this moment, Liu Taozi led everyone back to the city again.
The galloping of tens of thousands of cavalry made the entire Zhaoyuan City tremble.
The entire county was shaking violently, the people hid in their houses in fear, the livestock screamed in panic, and the nobles fled in all directions.
The black torrent swept forward, flooded the road, and rushed towards the state government office.
The officials on the road were fleeing in all directions at this moment. If there were any who were too late, they would be directly submerged by the flood and turned into flesh.
In this way, they rushed into the state government office again.
Just now, because they could not be blocked in the city, Liu Taozi and others made a quick battle and failed to take away everything.
Today, there are still mountains of materials displayed here.
Liu Taozi reined in his horse, stood up straight, and said, "Send orders to all armies!! Collect them in an orderly manner!! No looting!! No nuisance to the people!!"
"Whoever dares to fight, I will kill him!!"
At this time, many garrison leaders played corresponding organizational roles.
They had a clear division of labor, cooperated in an orderly manner, and plundered together.
Someone rushed into the inner room and shouted: "There is gold here!!"
Liu Taozi looked at Podoluogu who was standing aside, "Lead the people and conduct a thorough investigation around the place!"
"only!!"
The knights, who were extremely hot, excited, and almost out of control just now, were particularly calm at this moment. Some people were taking the food in front and delivering it all the way back. The last few people were responsible for putting the food on the horse's back.
Someone got a cart from nowhere and loaded piles of grain into the cart.
There were knights on guard on both sides of the road and all the way to the city gate to prevent food from being robbed.
The whole city was in full swing, but it also showed a strange calmness.
At this moment, the prefect was hiding in the mansion, and the soldiers under his command were constantly blocking the door with things, fearing that their next target would be him.
The prefect was tall, rough and fierce, but at this moment, there was indescribable fear in his eyes.
He wasn't sure what was going on in the city right now!
If the border soldiers rebelled, they did not come in to kill people, nor did they take control of the city.
If they did not rebel, they went straight into the state government office and were looting wantonly.
As old people who had witnessed the Six Towns Uprising, these people were absolutely unwilling to see it again.
The Six Towns Uprising pushed these people forward and made them the 'powerful people' they are today.
And another border town uprising can pull them down from their current position.
The officials gathered around the prefect, most of them fearful and uneasy, and their usual arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
"Your Majesty, was your Majesty just killed?"
someone asked tremblingly.
"have no idea!"
"The king's life or death is not important right now, what is important is what these people want to do!"
"Don't just sit there, go move things and hold the door for me!! Don't let anyone come in!!"
Those officials were driven out by the eunuch and blocked the door. There were soldiers lying on the wall, looking outside and reporting the situation to the eunuch.
On the road, there were knights on guard everywhere. Someone looked up and saw the peeping soldier, showing a very kind smile. The soldier was so frightened that he fell off the wall.
The knights laughed.
There was a Cangtou slave leading the horse, and the horse's back was covered with packages of all sizes. The Cangtou slave's face was full of excitement and his whole body was trembling. He had never seen so much money and food in his life!!
The knights looked at the food being pulled out, and their expressions became more and more excited. Some simply picked up arrows, ready to kill the enemy at any time.
Today, they will kill anyone who dares to stop them from asking for food.
To put it bluntly, the border soldiers have to decide on this food today, even if the khan comes!!!
The prefect asked anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on?"
The soldier reported: "It's still being transported, there are so many, but the horses are not enough, so we are starting to use carts to push them."
"A lot of people started coming out!! They looked here!!"
There was chaos in the official office. The prefect drew his sword and walked back and forth uneasily.
The prefect just stood in the front yard.
The soldiers reported the situation to him again and again.
Fortunately, the border soldiers did not rush into his prefect's mansion. However, many roads outside the door were already occupied by the border soldiers, and no one dared to go out easily.
At this moment, both the prefect and other officials were praying silently in their hearts, hoping that these border soldiers would leave after robbing them and stop killing them indiscriminately, especially not to come and kill them.
The sky gradually turned gloomy, dark clouds gathered in the mid-air, slowly entangled themselves, and kept pressing down. The sky seemed to have become very low, and those dark clouds were within reach, and the noise outside finally stopped.
The soldier said hurriedly: "Let's go! Let's go! Everyone is out!"
The voices of the soldiers were hoarse. They had been giving speeches for several hours. Smoke was coming out of their throats, and their expressions were haggard.
The prefect took a deep breath, but still did not dare to go out and continued to wait here.
On weekdays, there are always reports from various places that border soldiers are looting villages in the suburbs. Officials always think that this is not a big deal. Until today, they finally realized the despair and pain of the people who were hiding and shivering at home.
This is simply torture.
The prefect had not come out yet, but several people appeared outside the state government office.
Several soldiers supported Hui Luo and looked blankly at the state government in front of them.
I originally traveled all day long back to Luoyuan without rest, and then encountered the sound of war drums in the middle of the night without rest. Then I marched forcefully and came here, and encountered such a disaster again.
Although he was born in the army, he was still over half a century old when he returned to Luo. How could he withstand such a torment?
At this moment, he had to be supported by two soldiers before he could barely stand up.
His waist seemed to have been directly broken, and his face no longer had the coldness of a few hours ago. His face was pale, his head was drooping, and he raised his head with difficulty and looked at the state office in front of him.
The border soldiers had fled Zhaoyuan, leaving him with a dilapidated state government.
These border soldiers were like locusts crossing the border, evacuating the entire state government office.
They even tore down the gate of the state government office.
The state government office in front of him was like a tiger with its teeth broken, opening its mouth towards outsiders, and the scene inside could be seen at a glance.
Every place was empty, but fortunately they didn't take away the gravel on the ground.
Hui Luo didn't know where he got the strength from, he pushed his left and right sides violently, staggered a few steps, and walked into the state government office. Everyone followed him. There were several naked bodies on the ground.
All their clothes were robbed, and their heads were cut off as military honors, acting like serious frontier soldiers.
The passing of bandits is like a comb, and the passing of soldiers is like a grate.
And the border soldiers walked over, as if they were shaving.
After returning to Luo, I arrived at my south courtyard.
The south courtyard is currently empty. To facilitate transportation, they even cut through the wall and knocked it down.
The entire south courtyard looked like this.
Hui Luo's expression finally lost its calmness, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Beast!!!"
Huiluo roared angrily and fell down.
The soldiers shouted and rushed over again.
At the same time, the border troops who had gained a lot were escorting supplies, talking and laughing as they walked towards the Wuchuan camp.
He Bacheng walked at the front, his expression indescribably comfortable.
"That old thief looks like a dog, but he is extremely greedy. I have never seen such supplies in my life. I'm afraid there are not so many grain depots in Youzhou Camp. It's really an exaggeration, it's an exaggeration!!"
He Bacheng was very happy, but also very angry.
"No wonder we are given food every year, but there is not enough to eat every year, and we have to raise it ourselves. The root cause is here!!"
"What about the Han family sucking blood? I think these old thieves are the real culprits. They don't suck blood, they just gnaw at the spine!!!"
"Which wealthy family dares to do this? This guy at least ate half of the military rations distributed by the temple!!"
"I really am."
He Bacheng cursed all the way.
He knew that these nobles with military exploits were very greedy and had huge appetites. They had eaten all over the world through their military exploits, but he did not expect that people could be so greedy. This was unimaginable greed.
The food collected from his house alone was enough to feed the border soldiers in the towns for half a year.
What is this concept?
Looking at the extremely excited He Bacheng, Liu Taozi looked calm and said, "General, this is enough to prove that it is not that the Khan did not give out food, but that it was embezzled by thieves."
He Bacheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at him, smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's true."
"This is just the old thief Luo. There are many like him in the two states. I want to see if these people can sleep peacefully tonight!!"
"I want to see if these people still support us in rectifying the border troops!!"
"This time, the border soldiers already know who has food. Even if they kill us, it will be useless. In the future, as long as there is a lack of food, or the border soldiers themselves feel that there is a lack of food, they will gather together to get it."
"Damn it, I don't think anyone dares not to take me as the town general in their eyes?!"
He Bacheng's eyes were full of fierceness.
The army crossed the border, birds and beasts fled, and the people were frightened when they saw the movement in the distance. The knights all over the mountains and plains advanced all the way, and nothing dared to stop them.
When the army returned to Wuchuan, the people left behind who had already heard the news cheered.
This is much better than robbing the Turks.
How could the Turks be so wealthy?
Don’t go north again in the future, go south instead!
Piles of grain were brought into the city, and someone counted them, just like in battle, to distribute them uniformly.
The campus of Western University cannot gather an army of this size, so many people can only be stationed outside the city.
He Bacheng gathered around him Guan Jinwei, the chief of the garrison from various places, and so on. There were more than seventy people, and there was not enough room for them in the official office.
He Bacheng sat in the upper position and said solemnly: "These are the grains distributed by the Prime Minister, but they were seized by the traitors. This is one of the thieves. I don't know what the other thieves are like over there!"
"Today, I distributed these grains first. Remember, these grains were sent by people sent by the Prime Minister!!"
"What I just said must be told to the soldiers truthfully!"
"only!!"
Everyone bowed their heads.
At this moment, they all seemed to understand something and no longer had any worries.
Even if you are not afraid of attacking a county prince like this, you will still be a little uneasy, for fear that the other party will settle the score later.
However, if they also have a big flag to suppress the battle, then there is no need to worry. In today's world, is there anything stronger than the Prime Minister's flag?!
Liu Taozi ordered the military officials to act fairly and not to take any personal deductions from officers at all levels. He rewarded the troops and asked them to celebrate their victory and go to Ye to thank the Prime Minister.
However, Liu Taozi felt quite uncomfortable without Tian Zili and others around.
Although these military officials can also do things, they cannot replace Tian Zili and Cui Gang.
At this moment, Tian Zili and Cui Gang were running wildly. Their destination was Jiuyuan County, the seat of Sizhou, not far from the frontier.
This is a very important transportation thoroughfare. Whether going north or south, it can serve as a core gateway.
The governor here is none other than Gao Changgong of the clan, who was newly crowned King of Lanling.
After showing where he had been arrested, officials immediately sent someone to report the matter, and then led Tian Zili and others to the state government office.
Although Jiuyuan is not considered a great success, once you enter the city, it is extremely lively.
Common people were coming and going, merchants were in groups, and the two cities were extremely noisy. When they saw the knights, these common people were not frightened and lost control, and calmly moved out of the way.
In this way, they arrived at Zhouya.
When Zhang Laoli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, heard the news, he was standing at the door, followed by a group of people. He was in high spirits. When he saw Tian Zili and others, he hurriedly shouted.
"Tian Jun!!!"
Chapter completed!
