Chapter 261: Old Man's Surname?

Hundreds of thousands of people, if they rise up to resist, 10,000 Xiliang soldiers will definitely not be able to resist.

In order to prevent the people from revolting, hundreds of thousands of people were divided into 100 teams, each of which numbered about a few thousand.

At the same time, the Xiliang soldiers were also divided into one hundred teams, each with one hundred soldiers.

The people were staggering, mentally weary and ragged. And all the Xiliang soldiers were excited, wearing armor, wearing swords at their waists, and carrying a horse whip in their hands, and when they saw which of the people was slowing down, they immediately rushed up excitedly and whipped a few whips, urging the people to hurry. In order to vent the evil anger in their hearts, there were also Xiliang soldiers who deliberately ran to the people, pumped at the people for a while, and smoked the people to death.

The Xiliang soldiers were violent, but no people dared to stand up and resist.

The people dragged their families with their families, and they were burdensome, and they were afraid of implicating their families, so even if they suffered a little, they endured it.

Wang Can took Pei Yuanshao and Wang Yue back and forth in the crowd, investigating the situation of the people.

Walking down in a circle, mourning was everywhere, and there were countless people who were weak and sick. Wang Can looked at the people in rags and with bitter faces, and felt very sad for the people, this is the lowest level of the people in the troubled times. Human life is like grass mustard, and life is not as good as that of pigs and dogs. Take the current situation as an example, the people were escorted to Chang'an by the Xiliang army like pigs and sheep, but they did not dare to resist, so they could only leave their hometowns and their homes.

Pei Yuanshao's expression was gloomy, and he said, "Young Master, the situation is not optimistic, what should I do?" ”

Wang Yue also nodded, there are too many old and weak women and children, too many orphans and widows, this situation is not conducive to defeating the Xiliang soldiers.

Wang Can snorted coldly, glared at Pei Yuanshao, and shouted: "Just you have a lot of things, don't talk if you have nothing to do." After finishing speaking, Wang Can ignored Pei Yuanshao and continued to walk forward. Wang Can saw an old man wearing a black cotton robe, his hair was neatly bunned, his clothes were clean, and there were several strong men around him to protect the safety of the old man, and his heart suddenly moved.

He walked towards the old man and called, "Wait a minute, old man! ”

The old man looked back at Wang Can, and stopped a few strong men who wanted to stop Wang Can with his eyes, the old man stopped, and after Wang Can caught up, he slowly walked forward again, and said as he walked: "Young man, is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Can asked: "Old man, hundreds of thousands of people are migrating together, where is this going?" ”

The old man's eyes showed a hint of alarm, and he asked, "Young man, you don't know where to go?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "I was caught halfway through, and I don't know what the Xiliang Army is doing when I arrest so many people?" Did they arrest the people to arrest the strong? ”

The old man seemed to be touched by the pain in his heart, and sighed: "Eh, this is to settle down in Chang'an." ”

When Wang Can heard this, he seemed to be surprised, and exclaimed: "No, I live in Luoyang City, if I go to Chang'an to settle down, wouldn't I leave my hometown and can't go back to Luoyang?" ”

The old man deeply sympathized with Wang Can's words, with a sad look on his face, and said leisurely: "Do you think that you have left your hometown, my ancestors have lived in Luoyang for generations, and they were driven out of Luoyang by the Xiliang Army and went to Chang'an, isn't it also uprooted. After a pause, the old man asked: "Seeing that you are sharp and angular, and your bearing is also extraordinary, you should be the son of an official eunuch in Luoyang City, right?" ”

Wang Can showed a look of surprise on his face and asked, "Old man, how do you know?" ”

Pei Yuanshao saw that Wang Can was close to the old man, and slowly took the news from the old man's mouth, and secretly laughed in his heart.

This old man actually regarded Wang Can as the son of an official eunuch in Luoyang. The old man smiled and stroked the white beard under his chin, and said: "You said that you live in Luoyang City, plus you are young, but you have a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, which ordinary people do not have, so the old man guessed that you are the son of an official eunuch." ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "The old gentleman's vision is accurate, and I admire it." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's just a few more people, nothing remarkable." The poor old man is very old, and he was forcibly escorted to Chang'an by the Xiliang Army, and he will die in Chang'an in the future and can't return to his roots, and the evening is bleak! ”

Wang Can listened to the old man's sigh, but his heart moved.

Judging from the old man's words, the old man definitely didn't want to leave Luoyang.

And there are people around the old man to protect, and from this point of view, the strength of the old man should not be underestimated.

Wang Can thought for a while and said softly: "Old man, I was forcibly dragged in to Luoyang, and when I saw the people being escorted, there were no less than 300,000 people, why was no one willing to resist?" If all the people are willing to resist the Xiliang soldiers, and the Xiliang soldiers can't stop them at all, why is no one willing to run away? ”

"Escape?"

The old man sneered and said with a smile: "You just came, don't make a big deal if you don't know the situation." ”

Wang Can asked, "Please give me advice!" ”

The old man's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The people have the sufferings of the people, they have fathers and mothers, wives and children, once they resist the Xiliang soldiers, who will support their parents, wives and children after they are killed?" And once the Xiliang soldiers find out who stands up to resist, the Xiliang soldiers will also kill the rebels' families. In this case, who dares to take the initiative to resist? No one wants to die. ”

Wang Can said: "But the more this is the case, the worse the situation will be, and there will be no chance to return to Luoyang!" ”

The old man sighed and said, "The matter has come to this point, what can I do!" ”

Wang Can said: "From here to Chang'an, it will take a few days to reach Chang'an, the Xiliang soldiers are brutal and unkind, killing people at every turn, and there will be more and more dead and injured." The next person to die is likely to be you and me, rather than this, it is better to fight with Xiliang soldiers, so that there may be a glimmer of hope. ”

The old man said: "Young man, you think too simply, you can't resist if you want to. ”

Wang Can said: "If you don't resist, there is no way." ”

The old man sneered: "You want to return to Luoyang, so you want to encourage everyone to take the initiative to resist!" ”

Wang Can didn't have the slightest embarrassment on his face, but said confidently: "The old gentleman's eyes are like torches, and the younger generation really wants to return to Luoyang." But I don't think so alone when I go back to Luoyang, I believe everyone also wants to return to Luoyang, to the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, instead of stepping on a strange land, and at the same time have to endure the domineering and arrogant bullying of the Xiliang Army, such a life can't go on at all. ”

"This young man is right!"

"Yes! Yes, Xiliang soldiers are too fierce. ”

……

Invisibly, more and more people gathered around the old man and Wang Can, and these people listened to Wang Can and the old man obediently while walking. Wang Can glanced at the people around him with his spare eyes, and saw that the eyes of the people fell on the old man, his heart moved, it seemed that the old man's identity was really not ordinary, and his prestige among the people was also very high.

As long as the old man is tempted, there will be a chance.

"Huh!"

Wang Can suddenly saw a middle-aged man standing on the left with a thief's eyebrows and a gloomy gaze. The middle-aged man's eyes were bright, his black eyes kept turning, and he had a wisp of goat's whiskers under his chin, which looked very obscene. The middle-aged man looked at Wang Can carefully, and then glanced at the old man with a look of fear, as if he had recorded Wang Can's appearance.

"The spies of the Xiliang soldiers!"

Wang Can was alert in his heart, and rushed to the left side.

When the middle-aged man saw Wang Can rushing over, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he immediately prepared to retreat into the crowd.

Wang Can snorted coldly, his hands became claws, like an eagle swooping, his hands grabbed the shoulders of the middle-aged man when he was about to hide in the crowd, Wang Can used both hands hard, and the strength of the injury made the middle-aged man scream, Wang Can didn't care how the middle-aged man yelled, and shouted coldly: "If you want to go, come back!" ”

"Let me go, why are you arresting me?"

The middle-aged man was thrown to the ground by Wang Can, his shoulder was still aching, and his face showed a sad and indignant look.

Seeing Wang Can's sudden move, the old man asked in a deep voice: "Young man, he is my person, what do you mean by suddenly catching him?" ”

Wang Can clapped his hands and said: "Old man, I just saw this person hiding next to him and eavesdropping, and after hearing the news that I was going to take the initiative to resist the Xiliang Army, he immediately prepared to leave, judging from his behavior, he must have been bribed by the Xiliang Army, and he came to listen to the news on purpose." ”

"What, he was bought by the Xiliang Army?"

A coldness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he asked, "Third brother, is what he said true?" ”

The middle-aged man stood up with bared teeth, looked at Wang Can viciously, then lowered his eyes, and cried: "Taigong, don't you know who I am? How could I do such a conscientious thing? This person looks dignified, on the surface he wants to return to Luoyang, but in fact, he has bad intentions and wants to persuade everyone to resist the Xiliang soldiers and send them to death. Taigong, this person should be handed over to Xiliang Bing, let Xiliang Bing deal with this person, and we can also receive the reward. ”

The old man asked, "Receive the award, what award?" ”

The middle-aged man showed a hint of joy on his face and said, "Taigong, if you hand over a person who tries to resist the Xiliang soldiers, you can get the same money." One person is always money! Princess, you can order him to be kept in place. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Can proudly, and his obscene expression was even more disgusting.

Wang Can's nerves tensed, concentrating on vigilance, Wang Yue and Pei Yuanshao also stood behind Wang Can, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The old man's expression was gloomy, and his eyes did not fall on Wang Can, but instead stared at the middle-aged man with a sad and indignant look on his face. After a long silence, the old man reached out and slapped the middle-aged man.

"Evil obstacles, dare to say that you were not bought by the Xiliang soldiers."

The old man's expression was cold, his eyes were like electricity, and he slapped the middle-aged man to the ground.

Wang Can breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, standing next to him and seeing the old man powerful, he was even more determined that the old man was not an ordinary person. Especially when the old man was angry, the momentum exuded from his body was majestic and powerful, which made Wang Can stunned.

"Whoa!"

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, and a small bulging bag suddenly fell from his body.

The pouch rolled on the ground, and pieces of red gold rolled out of the pouch.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed an anxious look on his face, and he immediately stretched out his hand to pick up the small bag.

However, the old man stepped out suddenly, stood in front of the middle-aged man, and shouted: "Brute, you have nothing to say now, with your ability, you can earn so much red gold?" Hmph, it seems that the clansmen who died two days ago were all whistle-blowers from you to the Xiliang soldiers, which caused several clansmen to die. You are also a member of the clan, and you actually do things that sell your ancestors for glory, it seems that you are tired of living. ”

After a pause, the old man shouted, "Come on, send him on his way." ”

After the old man finished speaking, two strong men with a height of nearly one meter nine walked out. Among the two, one of them held the arms of the middle-aged man, and the other took out a tissue from the cuff, blocked the middle-aged man's mouth, and quickly dragged the middle-aged man down.

The old man looked lonely and said, "The family is unfortunate, which makes Xiaoyou smile." ”

Wang Can said: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it is normal for scum to sell their ancestors for glory, so the old gentleman doesn't have to care." ”

After a pause, Wang Can asked, "I don't know the old man's surname?" ”
