Detective in the Red Chamber

Unlike the gates of Wuerzhai, which are nailed with wooden boards, the gates of Walengzhai are also covered with a layer of thick and solid iron plates.

This kind of firmness is enough to withstand the impact of a car, and it is not difficult to block Sun Shaozong's drum beating Weng Jinhammer.

Fatuna was looking at the gate in a daze, when suddenly she saw a person coming out of the crowd, raising her arms and shouting happily, "I am Gatu from Wuerzhai, I am Gatu from Wuerzhai! Lengyan's mother-in-law, It's my own sister!"

Seeing that the Waleng Village was close at hand, everyone was a little happy at first, but seeing Ga Tu's cheerful appearance, they felt sad.

The stockade they depended on for their livelihood is gone, so how could life be better off under the fence?

I am afraid that only Gatu, who has support in Walenzhai, will...

"Ah~!"

At this moment, Ga Tu suddenly let out a scream, stopped in embarrassment, and looked over his shoulder in disbelief.

There is a sharp arrow sticking out there!

How is this going? !

Ga Tu covered his wound in horror, then raised his head and shouted, "Don't get me wrong, I am Ga Tu from Wu'er Village, and the warrior Leng Yan in your village is mine...uh!"

Before he could finish his yelling, another arrow shot towards him, this time it shot directly through Ga Tu's throat!

Ga Tu let out a muffled groan and fell on his back, not breathing any more.

This scene left everyone in Wu'er Village dumbfounded.

Why did the people in Walenzhai shoot and kill Gatu?

You must know that Gatu's brother-in-law, Lengyan, is the confidant of Chief Yahamo!

Just at the moment when they were terrified and puzzled, the gate of the village opened with a bang, and then a group of soldiers on short Dian horses rushed out from inside.

"Official...official army! It's the official army of the Han people!"

I don't know who screamed, and the people around immediately scattered and fled.

But Fatuna froze in place, staring blankly at the officers and soldiers who were approaching quickly, as if she had fallen into a nightmare from which she could not wake up...

Chapter 590

According to Sun Shaozong's original plan, after the victory of Wu'erzhai Liwei, the official army should withdraw from the mountainous area in time, join Xu Shouye's large army, and then wait for the opportunity to find the next target.

However, a piece of unintentional news from Barley made Sun Shaozong temporarily change his mind.

According to what Barley said, Yahamo, the leader of Walenzhai, just sent someone to order a batch of Tong wine. According to common sense, within a few days, Barley should lead the team to deliver the wine.

After hearing the news, Sun Shaozong made a decisive decision and ordered Lu Jianxing to lead a part of the troops, take the luggage and the rescued Han woman, and walk behind slowly.

However, Sun Shaozong and Shen Lian led the main force to advance lightly and rushed to the Walen Village at night, pretending to be a wine delivery team to deceive the gate of the village.

After that, there was naturally another bloody massacre!

However, the strength of this Waleng Village is much stronger than that of Wu'er Village.

Coupled with the vastness of the canyon, although the officers and soldiers fought hard last night and defeated the main force of Walenzhai, they failed to completely wipe out their vital forces.

Therefore, after the initial chaos, the remnants of Walenzhai regrouped under the call of the chief, Yahamo.

After dawn, Yahamo noticed that there were not many officers and soldiers, and even tried to regain control of the gate.

It was also because of this that the officers and soldiers were not in a hurry to retreat. If they retreated at this time, they would definitely be chased by Walenzhai. Even if they could escape smoothly, they would probably suffer a lot of losses.

What's more, in the team of Walenzhai, there are even cavalry, which are rare among the mountain people!

Although they are all short Dian horses and are not good at foot strength, they are still a threat that cannot be ignored for the officers and soldiers.

In view of this, Sun Shaozong decided to use the terrain of the canyon to defeat the enemy's counterattack first, so that the barbarians in Walenzhai were powerless and courageous to pursue the official army.

Facts once again proved that in such a battle where the scale was controlled to around a thousand people, Sun Shaozong was definitely a bug-level existence.

Although he can't really count as a thousand with one rider, at most he can kill two or three hundred people, and I'm afraid he should be exhausted-but these days, how many troops can withstand two to three percent losses in a battle without losing their strength? Rout?

In particular, these losses were caused by one person!

What's more, Sun Shaozong is not only only brave, but also deeply understands the truth of shooting people first, shooting horses, and capturing thieves first.

Therefore, the counterattack of Walenzhai only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and it was a complete failure because the chief leader, Yahamo, was captured alive by Sun Shaozong.

After capturing Yahamo, Sun Shaozong left in no hurry.

The prisoners sent a message in advance to ask for the looted Han women, and then in the name of Yahamo, they ordered Walenzhai to hand over all the mules and horses for use by the officers and soldiers.

It was a coincidence that as soon as the mules and horses were assembled in front of the gate of the village, the barbarians from Wu'er Village happened to come to the door.

Since it was found out that the people who came were old, weak, sick and disabled, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to go out in person. After handing it over to Shen Lian, he continued to interrogate Nayahamo, intending to get more information and information about the Wuxi barbarians from him. Insider.

At this moment, Barley rushed over with a happy face, carefully holding a wooden box in his hand, and the pattern looked familiar.

"grown ups!"

Barley said beamingly, "Just now Barbe of Walenzhai sent an official seal, which is said to be the seal of the magistrate of Xuanfeng County."

When the Wuxi barbarians rebelled a few months ago, they captured the state capital and two counties, and Xuanfeng County was one of them.

He Qingzhi, the county magistrate of Xuanfeng County, called the township bravely to defend the city and never retreated, but unfortunately he was defeated and died. Because of this, he was ratified by the imperial court as the title of "Xuanfeng County Son".

Now that he can get back his official seal, it can be called a surprise.

Just as Sun Shaozong signaled Wang Zhen to put away the seal, there was another burst of shouting and cursing outside the gate of the village.

It sounded like Shen Lian had a dispute with the officers under him.

Could it be because of fighting for merit?

The 300 people who entered the mountain this time belonged to different battalion heads, and conflicts occurred because of competition for merit, which is not a miracle.

Naturally, Sun Shaozong couldn't sit idly by, and immediately ordered, "Wang Zhen, go out and ask, and find out what's going on."

Wang Zhen led the order to leave the village gate, but after a while, he brought back a general and a barbarian woman in scantily-clothed clothes.

"grown ups!"

Wang Zhen went forward and reported, "This person's name is Yin Cheng. He just robbed a barbarian girl outside, stripped her naked, and falsely claimed that she was a captured Han Chinese, but Shen Baihu saw through it on the spot. This is why he started to act." Dispute."

When Sun Shaozong heard the words, he turned his attention to Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng's body trembled, he knelt down involuntarily, and distinguished with his head on the ground, "Your Excellency, please forgive me! The villain also bumped into this woman twice in a row. He felt that it was the fate given by God, so he was fascinated for a while. "

It turned out that after this fellow rushed out with Shen Lian, he saw Fatuna who was standing there in a daze.

He was drooling over this barbarian girl yesterday, but he had to stop halfway because Shen Lian stopped her.

Now he was bumped into him again, but how could he let her go?

That's why the farce just happened.

Right now, he first raised the banner of God, and then said indignantly, "Besides, you have seen how the barbarians bullied our Han women. Why can't we touch the barbarians?!"

These words are naturally sophistry.

But it is unrealistic to expect the officers and soldiers of these years to strictly control the lower body like the People's Liberation Army of later generations.

In the past, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, but now the most powerful Walengzhai among the Tongxi Barbarians has become fat on the cutting board. Within a hundred miles, there is no longer any force that can threaten the officers and soldiers.

As the saying goes, if you are full of warmth, think about silver, and desire, if you refute it with words and forbid your officers and soldiers to "tit for a tooth", although everyone may not dare to disobey orders, they will probably feel a little unhappy in their hearts.

And this time going south is to make a big fortune with a small amount, and the morale of the army is naturally the most important thing...

Of course, even with these concerns, Yin Cheng's behavior is absolutely intolerable.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong kicked Yin Cheng all over the place, and yelled, "It's fine to grab a barbarian girl, but what do you mean by stripping her naked and pretending to be my sister from the Han family? Do you want her to be humiliated by you in the name of the Han people?!"

Yin Cheng never thought that Sun Shaozong would attack this point, and he was dumbfounded at that time, not knowing how to refute.

"Now that I am in a dangerous place, I will spare you for the time being, and I will settle accounts with you after I go down the mountain!"

As Sun Shaozong said, he ordered again, "Babari, immediately send a message to the people in Walengzhai, asking them to send thirty young and beautiful women immediately, otherwise the decision of the officers and soldiers to withdraw from Walengzhai will come to an end!"

"The villain takes orders!"

When Barley took the order without hesitation, Sun Shaozong pointed at Nafatuna again, and said, "Put this woman and the women from Walen Village into the miscellaneous labor camp, and take care of the wounded soldiers!"

It is said that they are assigned to the miscellaneous service battalion, but if it is only to take care of the wounded soldiers, why choose those young and beautiful ones?

As a result, the officers and soldiers around were all excited, but Yin Cheng had the face of losing his wife and losing his army.

Now the top and bottom of the Waleng Village have been frightened by the officers and soldiers, even their own leaders dare not rescue them, so how can they dare to disobey the threats of the officers and soldiers?

But half of the envoys, thirty barbarians were sent before the officers and soldiers.

In order to satisfy the officers and soldiers, they even specially presented [-] sets of gold and silver jewelry as gifts, which made the peacocks dressed up by those women spread their tails.

noon.

After a full meal in the Walen Village, Sun Shaozong gave an order, and the officers and soldiers drove groups of mules, horses and women out of the gate of the village in a bustling manner.

Chapter 591 Five Stream City [Part [-]]

Originally, I thought about [-] characters in three shifts, but after thinking about it, it should be [-] characters in two shifts. It is always better to be longer.

Wuxi City.

Even though Mr. Luo, the envoy of Xuanfu, has worked hard since he took office and vigorously rectified the internal affairs and military affairs, but this city, which was once prosperous because of the mineral trade, inevitably fell into depression.

However, it was said that in the early morning of this day, the sky was already bright, and [-]% of the shops on Fuwang Street had not opened their doors for a long time. Li's tea house, which specializes in tea business, was also among them.

However, unlike other shops that have no intention of operating due to declining profits, the reason why the Li family tea house closed its doors to entertain customers is to entertain a distinguished guest.

Guests from the mountains!

knock knock knock

At about 07:30 in the morning, Zhao Haogu, the chief shopkeeper of the tea house, knocked on the door of the main room in the backyard with a tray of wine and vegetables in person.

Not long after, I heard the sound of the door latch inside, and then a sleepy man poked his head out from the inside, seeing that it was Zhao Haogu who came to deliver the food, he moved his body aside, yawned and said, "Send it in." , the young head of my family happens to have something to say to you."

When Zhao Haogu heard the words, he obediently agreed, and then he carried the food into the inner room like a waiter in the shop.

After entering the inner room, seeing the young man sitting on the head of the bed, wiping a short knife, Zhao Haogu's heart trembled, and his spine couldn't help softening a bit.

"Young man."

He carefully put the food on the table, then bowed his knees and apologized with a smile, "Did you sleep soundly last night? If there is anything wrong, just say it."

"You actually have the nerve to ask me if I slept well?"

The young man snorted and made a trick with the short knife in his hand, and asked Zhao Haogu obliquely, "I am in the village, and I sleep with a Han girl every night, how did I get the territory of your Han people?" , but you don’t even have a foot-warming girl?!”

Zhao Haogu's smile froze, seeing the dagger gesticulating coldly at him, he was so frightened that he almost spit out urine.

Kneeling on the ground with a thud, he kowtowed and defended like garlic, "Young man, calm down! Young man, calm down! We also did not arrange for a woman to serve the bed for safety reasons..."

"shit!"

At this time, the barbarian who just opened the door also followed into the back room. Hearing Zhao Haogu's distinction, he scolded bluntly, "Who else dares to be rude to our young man in Wuxi City right now? It's your family. Xuan Fushi's hundreds of remnants and defeated generals, or those wretches who crawled like tortoises for several days before crawling out of the city?!"

As he said that, he stepped forward and kicked Zhao Haogu, yelling, "Hurry up and get a woman to calm down my young head! Otherwise, when the tens of thousands of warriors from Tongximan, When I come to Wuxi City for entertainment again, I may not be able to take care of my old friendship!"

The total population of Tong Ximan is only 7000 to [-], and the maximum number of young and strong men is [-] to [-]. How can there be tens of thousands of warriors?

However, how dare Zhao Haogu question anything?

He got up in a hurry, didn't even dare to pick up the hat that fell on the ground, so he escaped with all his hands and feet.

"Did you see him like that? Is this the Han? The Han who has bullied Tong Ximan for decades?! Hahaha..."

Hearing unscrupulous laughter from behind, Zhao Haogu's face was both ashamed and annoyed, but he dared not ignore the barbarian's request after all.

So he had no choice but to leave the tea house through the back door and hurried to the owner's mansion in the west of the city.

Waiting to meet the boss Li Changshun in the front hall.

Zhao Haogu first portrayed the shameless face of the barbarian, and then he couldn't help but angrily suggested, "Master, the officers and soldiers sent by the left and right imperial courts are about to enter the city. If there are thousands of people to support them, the barbarians will It may not be possible to break into Wuxi City—we might as well tie up these two savages and send them to the Xuanfu envoy's office, so as to save ourselves from being so useless!"

"Confused!"

When Li Changshun heard this, he stared and scolded, "The more than 3000 officers and soldiers failed to defend Wuxi City before, let alone a group of old soldiers who came back here? Pull me on my back!"

Zhao Haogu actually knew that his boss had always been timid and fearful.

In particular, rumors have been circulating recently that the Wuxi barbarians are dissatisfied with the imperial court sending troops to suppress the rebellion, and are preparing to send troops down the mountain again-at this time, Li Changshun naturally dare not take risks.

Therefore, what I said just now is firstly to vent the resentment in my heart; secondly, it is also to pave the way for shirking responsibility.
