The war has affected and the agriculture has been abandoned, but people are alive in the world, and food and clothing are inevitable.

Although Qu'a was less affected than other counties, it was difficult to find people in the countryside, many of the villages were dilapidated, and the ditches and ridges had long been flooded with weeds. The only ones that are still well preserved are the estates of the big families in the township, and even the rebels dare not bully them too much.

Between living in the same countryside, these families often also open their estates to accept those villagers who have been affected by the disaster, which can not only increase the popularity of the countryside with others, but also gather more manpower to better protect their homes. But after these people enter the manor, they also have to eat and drink, and they also consume, so they can't sit and eat empty.

Therefore, these villagers were also organized, planting some short-harvest crops around the manor, and seizing the time to carry out some fishing, hunting and farming production to supplement the consumption in the manor.

The rainy season fell as scheduled, which made the villagers who had suffered from the war disaster feel better, and for these people, farming was also a matter of life and death. Therefore, in the drizzling rain, there are many farmers weeding and plowing the fields near the manor, ready to plow.

This day is no more unusual than before, an old farmer who broke his leg when fleeing snuggled the grass with his hands on the ridge of the field, although it was already covered with mud, but the vicissitudes of life and muddy old eyes looked at the land that had been soaked by rain, and the picture of the ground overgrown with heavy ears of grass in a few months had involuntarily flashed in his mind, and the face that was as rough as the pine and cypress and had the same toughness showed a smile in his bones.

There are not many strong people in the manor, women are the main force of farming, young and strong women hold the plough of Shen Lang, which has long been spread all over Jiangdong, and take advantage of the moisture of the soil to plough it, and the grass roots planted deep in the soil layer have been ploughed off and turned out of the soil. When the sun is clear, the scorching sun is exposed for a few days, the grass roots are dried, the eggs are sunburned, and then leveled a few times, and the canal can be irrigated and sown. Although the tight face is not very delicate and fair, it has a vigorous vitality with an earthy smell, which is a different kind of beauty.

Older people, including some children, carry bamboo baskets on their shoulders or waists, and throw green manure made of livestock manure and plant ash into the ploughed land, increasing the soil fertility and burning the grass seeds.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry back to the bank! ”

A mournful shout came from a distance, shattering the peaceful scene. Ding Zhuang, who was in charge of the guard posts in the four directions, beat gongs and drums to warn, and at the same time dragged bamboo guns and galloped down from the high post! Behind them, there were already many birds that were disturbed and flew up against the rain, hovering in the low sky.

The women wiped the rain from their faces, turned their heads and took the plow, and galloped back a few steps, holding the weeping child under their armpits, and running towards the manor. Those young and old also grabbed the tools in the field at hand, let go of their feet one by one, and ran wildly.

The old farmer with a broken leg also stood up with a bamboo cane, but his hands were full of muddy water, and the bamboo cane was extremely smooth, and he tried several times and fell headlong into the field! He opened his mouth helplessly, crawled to the side of the road with his hands and feet, and finally stood up with the help of a woman, but after walking a few steps, he pushed the woman away, pointed to a plow abandoned by the side of the road in a panic, and shouted: "Leave the old slave alone, run with the plow on your back!" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, stooped down and picked up the plow, and put it on her shoulder, and turned to help the old farmer again. At this time, a large number of soldiers in military uniforms with hideous faces and the breath of death had already broken through the rain curtain and rushed here!

"Run...... Come on! ”

The old peasant howled, and swung his bamboo cane to beat the woman who came to him, but his body fell again because he lost his balance!

When the woman saw this, her eyes were already full of fear, and she wiped her cheeks with tears or rain, gritted her teeth and turned and ran away.

Soon, there was only one old farmer left in the left vicinity, he was half-lying on the muddy road, his eyes were foggy and unfocused, his mouth was spewing out of the muddy water, and he only clutched the bamboo cane nearly half a foot long with both hands.

The chaotic footsteps of the rebels were getting closer and closer, but the old farmer had a dream-like smile on his face, and the bamboo cane in his hand slammed into the ground, and the whole person seemed to burst out of infinite power and jumped straight up from the mud.

"Dog thief, I'll fight with you......"

The old peasant roared and kicked the ground on one leg, and the bamboo cane in his hand swung high and smashed at the chaotic soldier who was less than a foot away from him. However, his bamboo cane was still more than a foot away from the soldier, and a spear had pierced his ribs in the diagonal! The body of the gun shook, and the old peasant's thin body was thrown into the ditch beside the road like rotten wood, and the blood gushing out of the blood hole between the ribs quickly mixed with the mud, and the whole person was no longer alive, only the pair of eyes were still open angrily!

"Bad luck!"

A rebellious sergeant walked by, uncomforted by the dead eyes, slashed off his head with his knife and trampled into the mud before returning to the ranks and continuing his dash towards the manor.

The scale of the manor is not small, but the facilities used for military defense are really simple. The two corner towers that served as arrow towers were crumbling in the rain because there were too many Zhuang Ding rushing up, but the lethality of the arrows shot by the bamboo bows that were barely hunting was too poor, and the attacking rebels didn't even have to bother to raise their shields, and nearly half of the arrows that were not very powerful had been pulled away from their original tracks by the wind and rain, and even if they were shot into the enemy formation, they were all swept down by swords and guns.

The rebels climbed over the fence, some carrying the sasswood against the courtyard wall, and some simply jumped up, like hungry wolves pounced into the flock, fiercely tearing a big hole in the already fragile line of defense for more companions to rush in.

The battle had been going on for more than a quarter of an hour, and several hundred rebels had stormed the manor and wiped out all resistance. The remnants of the brave people in the manor were either lying on the ground or squatting between the houses with their heads crossed, not daring to look at the fierce rebels who were covered with blood and could not be washed away by the rain.

Not long after, the owner's family of the manor was found out, and more than twenty or thirty people, old and young, trembling and surrounded by the chaotic army.

"No matter what kind of family your family is, I won't talk nonsense with you, take my people to the granary and money warehouse. Just say it once, to live or to die? ”

A leader of the rebel army with a scar on his head walked up, his expression and tone were cold.

"You, you dog thieves......"

Burst!

With a muffled thud, the head of the enraged owner of the manor had been cut off. The leader of the rebels shook the blood off his blade and looked at the others.

"I'll take you, I'll ......"

A young man stepped forward and said tremblingly, but before he finished speaking, his chest had been pierced by the blade of a gun!

"Go and go, too much nonsense!"

————

Zhang Jian is crazy!

After receiving this military report, Shen Zhezi's whole person was instantly detonated by anger. A few days ago, the rebel Zhang Jian's department made another move, most of them were reduced to zero, avoiding the surveillance of the Dongyang Army of the Silent Department, and went down to Qu'a from Lian Lake, and successively broke through several Qu'a Township manors, burned, killed and plundered, and where they passed, there were no chickens and dogs!

This is no longer a question of rebellion or not, but a mass massacre of civilians!

As soon as he received this battle report, Shen Zhezi couldn't sit still any longer, and even if he pointed out that there were more than 4,000 people from the two armies in the capital under his control, he directly killed Qu A! At this time, he no longer considered the question of whether he could recruit Zhang Jian, such a heinous evil act, even if Zhang Jian had the talent to seek the country, he would take it and kill him!

Before leaving, Shen Zhezi sent a letter to Tao Kan, asking him to temporarily take over the defense of Stone City, Yu Tiao to enter Taicheng, and let Shen Mo lead the Dongyang Army to pick him up, so that Daye Guan was ready to support at any time.

After two days of rapid travel, more than 1,000 elite forwards under Shen Zhezi's department, including Long Xi's pawn, had arrived at the shore of Lian Lake, and soon encountered a battle.

The place where the battle took place was in a mountainside manor in the northeast of Qu'a, and the owner of this manor was surnamed He, because he had supplied to Nanyuan, and he also had several connections with Shen Zhezi. Originally, this manor was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had excellent scenery, but now it is full of devastation. When Shen Zhezi and the others arrived, some of the more than 200 rebels were looting in the manor, and the other part was scattered around the manor to hunt down and kill the fleeing people.

As soon as Shen Zhezi's troops appeared outside the manor, those rebels became alert, but instead of fleeing, they accelerated the pursuit. It wasn't until Shen Zhezi gave the order to attack that the rebels gathered, and then a military leader rushed out from the already dilapidated manor and shouted from afar: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" We are the guards in the capital, coerced by the rebels, and now we have broken away from the rebels, waiting for the king for a long time! ”

"Let him come!"

Shen Zhezi dismounted and stood outside the manor to signal that the head of the chaotic army was escorted up.

The head of the army was about forty years old, and when he saw Shen Zhezi, instead of panicking, his face showed a look of surprise, and he threw himself on the ground and howled: "It turned out that the horse was coming, this is really good!" The colt doesn't recognize the old slave? The old slave was originally a disciple of the Ji Mansion, and the ancestor gave the horse to the horse, and the old slave also had the honor to watch the ceremony......"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but when he saw the tragic picture of the corpse in the manor, his face sank again, and he frowned: "Since the old guard is separated from the rebels, why do you want to attack the villagers?" ”

The military leader was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said quickly: "The owner of this village is a thief in the land, and he is suspected of being rebellious." The old slave broke the village and killed the thief, but also remembered to make meritorious service for the crime......"

"Is that so?"

As those rebellious troops withdrew from Zhuanglai, their pockets bulged one by one, and it can be seen that they have gained a lot. Shen Zhezi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This Zhuang He Gong is my old friend, is he still there?" I'm going to interrogate him myself for his sins!" ”

When the military leader heard this, his shoulders trembled, and cold sweat was already pouring out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Zhezi when he lowered his head, but said in a trembling voice: "Forgive me...... We were originally from a good family, and we were forced to rebel, and it was difficult to defend ourselves...... It is really difficult for the sons and daughters to want to be a good family again in the future, so they can only take advantage of the uncertain situation to enrich their wealth a little, and they will either redeem themselves or settle down in the future...... If、If you know that the horse and this village ...... We will never dare to be presumptuous! Ask for forgiveness! ”

"Get up."

Shen Zhezi said in a condensed voice, and the head of the army knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him one after another, and then slowly got up. Shen Zhezi motioned to his soldiers to hand him a spear, he subconsciously took it, and then saw Shen Zhezi swing his sword and slash!

"How dare a dog thief assassinate! Kill them all, not a single one will be left! ”

Shen Zhezi had already understood Zhang Jian's intentions at this time, Zhang Jian's subordinates were very centrifuged, and it was difficult for a large number of guards to surrender troops to him. Therefore, Shen Zhezi was relieved to throw off Zhang Jian to counterattack Gyeonggi, because in his opinion, as long as the news of Gyeonggi's recovery came, Zhang Jian's troops would collapse without a fight.

However, the hearts of the people are sinister, the guards will not be used by Zhang Jian, and they may not be used for money, and the guards in the capital dare to burn his Nanyuan for the sake of money, and the guards here will not dare to break through a few people's manors! In this way, the destructive power caused by these guards is even greater than that they are under Zhang Jian's control!

And most of these guards are from Danyang Township, on the one hand, they are familiar with the situation in the township, on the other hand, they have scruples, every evil deed, they must be killed to hide their sins!

"The rangers scattered out of the countryside, and those who did not arrive at the Qu'a County Office from the rebels within two days will be cleared by the rebels, and there will be no forgiveness!" ...
