The little boss was secretly surprised, and the other sergeants who were left behind all looked at each other. I don't know what happened, but I saw another figure in the woods. The ten people kept retreating, and got together in front of the vehicle. He looked at the little leader eagerly.
The little leader glared at a few people and said in a low voice: "Look at what I'm doing. The damn captain is nowhere to be seen. I don't know what to do. Brothers, please be more careful. Don't worry. "Just after I finished speaking, there was a sound in the woods, and a dozen people jumped out. One in the front was holding a steel fork, the other was carrying a steel knife, and the people behind were all holding long poles. , shot into two rows, blocking the road.
Zhou Bao held the steel fork and looked at the team. There were about ten officers and soldiers gathered in one place, not daring to say a word. Behind them were livestock and vehicles, all of which were full of bags, which must not be food. It was about other baggage, and he thought to himself: "Not bad, it's really good. It's not a bad thing that we waited three days for such a deal. Now the public warehouse of the villa will be full. However, with so many things, it is difficult for the river beach to Let's go, I'm afraid I have to make several trips."
After listening to Zhou Xing's instructions, he did not dare to harm the lives of the people easily. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not come forward, he ignored them and just lined up like that. Blocked on the official road, waiting for Zhou Xing to come down.
Zhou Xing took Zhou Can, Wang Tong and others through the woods and came to the official road. Those officers and soldiers saw that the bandits were in large numbers. The people behind them still had military uniforms and weapons in their hands. There were a lot of blood stains on them. They estimated that their partners were handed over to these people. They were frightened. Trembling. The little leader's lips trembled for a long time and he was speechless. He stamped his feet and shouted: "Run, what are you waiting for?" While shouting, he ran back. After hearing this, the sergeants refused to leave any one behind. They threw down their weapons, turned around and ran back.
Zhou Bao said angrily: "Courageless gangster, why the hell are you running back? It's a pleasure for the Huangshi boy."
Zhou Can said with a smile: "Forget it, you killed that captain, and you had a lot of fun."
Wang Tongtong: "You can do it too. Leading the people in front to lure the enemy deep, and commanding the assassination behind you, can be regarded as It was great, but I didn’t catch anything. I stayed in the woods for three days, just watching the fun, and I didn’t even touch a hair.”
Zhou Xing chuckled: “Okay, okay. . This is the first time we go out and kill dozens of enemies. We only injured two brothers and we still have this piece of food and grass. Hehe, we made a profit."
As he said this, he led the people. Came over.
When the people who were transporting food saw these people approaching, and the smell of blood from the weapons hit their noses, they couldn't help but hide back. Luo Yin was riding a donkey. He was already in front, but now he stood out even more. Lord Luo was not afraid, jumped off the donkey and stood in the middle of the road. He cupped his hands in front of everyone and said, "Bo Luoyin, Lord of Xiamian County, please give me the name of a good man!"
As soon as Zhou Bao was about to answer, Zhou Xing had already grabbed him and looked Luo Yin up and down. He was so thin. Tall figure, long and thin face, a few sparse beards, eyes half open and half closed, as if he was not awake.It looks like, if you open it occasionally, it will be filled with light. The blue official uniform has faded and looks gray, with two patches clearly patched in front of him. Lord Bo Zhouxing still knows that the magistrate of a county has a county magistrate and a chief Bo, and a county captain and a county captain. The chief Bo is an official official of the imperial court and the third-in-command in Xi'an. Judging from the poor and poor appearance of this boss, he must be an upright official.
Zhou Xinggong held up his hands and said, "It turns out that Lord Luo is Bo. I'm rude. I'm rude. We are the scouts of the Chinese army who have taken over Marshal Wang from Xichuan. We are on official business here. What advice can Lord Bo give us?" "
Luo Yin was surprised when he heard that they were Wang Zongdi's subordinates. The fighting was so tight in front, and Wang Zongdi's subordinates actually got in. It seemed that not only those sergeants were completely finished, but People like myself are afraid that they will die here.
Luo Yin turned around, looked at the people gathered behind him, and sighed. He bowed deeply to Zhou Xing and said: "Although Marshal Wang is not the governor of Shannan West Road, he is still an official of the Tang Dynasty. If you kill those soldiers, that's it. When the two armies fight, they will use all possible means. It’s nothing. It’s just that the people have nothing to do with it. The army, food and equipment are all at your disposal. I just ask the general to give them a chance to survive.”
Zhou Xing sneered and said, “You guy, you can’t even take care of yourself. I don’t know whether I will live or die, but I still care about helping others escape."
Luo Yin straightened his waist and said solemnly: "I am in my forties, and I think I have done nothing wrong in my life. Killing does not mean that you will die prematurely, but you deserve it. Life and death are all up to you. It’s just a matter of words for me to say this. General Wang Zongdi is a famous general in the Shu army. , He is not a murderous person, so why should the general do it right?" Zhou Can said in a low voice from behind: "Although this old man is thin, he is very chivalrous and a good man."
Zhou Xing didn't respond to him and said: "Since you are the boss, there must be many things in this team. You remember clearly. Let me ask you, what are these?"
< p>Luo Yin sighed and replied: "Eight hundred stones of grain, two hundred bolts of cloth, more than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and six hundred weapons, swords and guns."Zhou Xing nodded and smiled. Said: "Seeing that you are so cooperative, I will obey you and not kill any of the people. I will keep these things."
Luo Yin nodded and asked: "General, great virtue, Luo Yin thanks you. The general only has these men and horses. Later, Zhou Jiedu sent 30,000 troops. Even if the general keeps these supplies and food, he is afraid that he will not be able to transport them, so he will have to burn them."
Wang? Tong was already impatient and stepped forward and shouted: "My general knows how to deal with it, so why bother?"
Luo Yin's face was gray and sweat broke out on his face, and he knelt down facing Zhou Xing. , said: "The general is merciful and spared these people. But the people in Mian County have been plundered. I don't know how many people will starve to death this winter and spring. Since the general has let these people go, why not do the good deed to the end and let these people , take some grain at will, and save some seeds for next year. It will be burned.The kindness of the army is like a thousand Buddhas for the people of Mian County. "As he spoke, tears also flowed down.
Zhou Xing and others couldn't help being stunned when they saw Luo Yin begging for the people like this. The people behind him also knelt down.
< p>Zhou Xing felt happy when he saw so many supplies in this team. Hearing what Luo Yin said was pitiful, seeing that the people were just like the villagers in the villa, they were all ordinary simple farmers. Zhou Xing was so pitiful. Willing to kill them all, he used Luo Yin's words to pretend to be fierce and shouted loudly: "The king is kind and naturally loves his people. Listen to me, our army will win within three to five days. Zhou Jimi is cruel and cruel, and does not care about your life or death. I am a brave military lieutenant under Marshal Wang. I will do justice for heaven today. Our army will be invincible and attack every enemy. You must not make mistakes. The food in the car is available for you to use. Leave quickly. If you stay here, you will be killed. "At this time, the fleeing soldiers had been beheaded by Huang Shi and others. The common people were stunned after hearing what Zhou Xing said. They couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen. Luo Yin Hearing this, he quickly got up and shouted to the people: "General, please be kind. If you don't get up quickly, take as much as you can, seek refuge with relatives and friends, hide in the countryside, and never return to the city." "
The people believed it now, kowtowed together and shouted: "The general is righteous, and the princes will live forever! "Thank you so much, General, Sir Luo." ”
These people got up and ran to the grain truck together. The strong ones picked up one or two bags and left. The weak ones also picked up one bag and walked back tremblingly. Let's go. Zhou Xing asked Wang Tong to go to the back and pass the order. All the people must be released and must follow. If anyone lingers, they must be killed.
Wang Tong ran away, but these people were killed. , All of them hurriedly carried the food on their backs and left. After a while, there was no one left. These common people, after walking for a while, were afraid of the official checkpoints in front and did not take the official road, so they all dispersed up the mountain and stood at Luo Yin. There, he smiled. Then he sighed, took off his official hat, took off his official uniform, and threw it on the ground.
Zhou Xing ignored him and sent two men. Individuals, urgently returned to the village to send an order. All people in the village, over 15 years old and under 50 years old, were led by the commander of the army to go to the mouth of the river valley to carry things. Then all the regiments were asked to carry the food and materials on the cart. They all moved into the deep mountains and forests beside the road.
The group warriors immediately threw down their bamboo poles, picked up their bags of food and ran into the mountains and forests. In just a short time, they carried more than three hundred stones. Then he carried them into the forest.
Zhou Xing asked people to separate the livestock and gather together to watch. Everyone, except the livestock and camels, had to carry the remaining supplies and food into large and small vehicles. He picked up dry grass and dead branches, left Huangshi behind, and led a group of people to guard the forest. He turned from the official road to the valley and headed towards the villa.
For Luo Yin, Zhou Xing thought. It seems that this man not only loves the people, but also has something in his belly. He can neither let him go nor be willing to kill him. He arranged for two regiments of warriors to watch him closely, and still let him sit on the donkey and wrap him up in the team. Go into the valley.
Luo Yin looked at Zhou Xing's actions and had doubts in his heart. If these were the men and horses of the Shu army, why bother with this small amount of supplies? Take what you can get, and just burn what you can't take away. I have never seen such an army that eats everything without giving up. Something feels wrong. However, seeing how Zhou Xing and the others treat the people, they are quite kind and don't look like cruel people. Since there are many of them at the scene, they will probably not take their own lives again.
As they walked deeper and deeper into the mountains, Zhou Xing and the others were very careful. There were people behind to clean up the livestock excrement to avoid being followed. The road along the river valley was originally difficult for people to walk on, but these big animals walked even slower, taking a full two hours. Just entered the valley.
At this time, although the young and old in the villa did not know the specific situation, they heard from the messenger that a large amount of things were to be transported in. Hundreds of people had been waiting at the entrance of the valley for a long time. When they saw the group heroes coming back, they swarmed over to greet them. Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wang walked in the front, laughing and asking: "Chief Zhou, following your order, everything in the village has come. Where did this come from? There are so many!"
Zhou Xing chuckled and said: "Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wang, don't ask now. We will talk about it later. In this way, all the regiments, put down their things and gather immediately. Uncle Zhou, Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhou, Zhou Hui, and Wang He and Chen Jian, you three, led the old and young women, one led the animals, and carried the things, and returned to the village immediately. If you can't take it for the time being, leave this old master here to your youth group. But you have to be careful. Firstly, you can't let him run away, and secondly, you can't let anything happen to him. Do you understand? Zhou Hui, Wang He and Chen Jian responded loudly: "Sir, don't worry, we will do it."
Zhou Xing then said to Zhou Bao: "Blow the whistle and gather together. All other regiments will practice their bravery and set off immediately to return to the official road. ”
Zhou Bao agreed and blew the bamboo whistle. Upon hearing this, the regiment training heroes immediately put down their things and gathered in formation under the leadership of the squad leaders.
It took a moment. , the team was assembled, Zhou Xing was very satisfied. Looking at the exhausted team members who had just returned from outside, Zhou Xing said loudly: "Everyone is rushing and carrying goods. It is indeed hard, but there are still three or four people outside. If hundreds of shi of grain are not shipped in today, then tomorrow the army will arrive, and the grain will be gone, and our work will be in vain. It’s hard to say that everyone has to work hard twice. We can leave nothing for them. "Though the team members worked hard, they were extremely excited to get so many things at once." After Zhou Xing finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "Move them all back, don't leave any behind." "Especially the Tuan Yong who originally stayed in the village and did not go out with the team screamed even more loudly. Although those Tuan Yong were older and more stable, after all, they had never seen so much food and supplies, and they were also dizzy with joy. , regardless of his identity, he also yelled.
Zhou Xing asked Huang Hai to lead the group, and nearly two hundred people headed outside the valley. Seeing the day, it was gradually getting dark, and they were walking at night. It was even more difficult to walk on the riverbank covered with stones and weeds.
Zhou Xing ordered people to set up torches and raise fires.He marched quickly until he was close to the mouth of the valley, then put out the torch, stopped the team, and asked Zhou Can to lead people to contact the explorer. After a while, Zhou Can led Tuan Yong, who had been left on guard, back and told Zhou Xing, All is well. Huang Shi and others were still looking at supplies in the mountains and forests. Zhou Xingxin said: "They didn't come during the day. The officers and soldiers will definitely not come at night. As long as today passes, no one will know that we did this. Even if we capture a few people, they will be returned to Wang Zong." In Di's name, hey, I got the benefit, and someone else took the blame. This is really not a bad thing.
Zhou Xing asked everyone to be bold and still held up the torch, went to the official road, and came to the ambush place. Huang Shi and others also walked out of the woods and said: "We brothers have set up ambush and sentries for several miles in front and back. They are very quiet. It seems that no one has noticed those people yet.
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Even if we find out, catch him and question him, those officers and soldiers will not dare to come. The number of people who ambushed and set up traps is no more than a hundred or ten. Who is willing to kill them?" Are you still alive to bring bad luck to Wang Zongdi's Chinese army scouts? ”
Huang Shi also smiled, and hurriedly greeted everyone, and carried out the supplies that had been moved into the forest. When they came this time, some of the team members had already prepared, and many people brought ropes and ropes. Carrying poles. These people all came from hard work, and no one was afraid of getting tired. They were able to carry more than three hundred stones of food at once. Huang Hai Zhou Can led the team back, guessing that the team had entered the river valley. Zhou Xing asked Huang Shi to hand over all the brothers who were on sentry duty in the distance.
