Chapter 341: Labor Army
Bai Tang was shocked, took a step back and danced the purple gold sword, it was really a tiger and a tiger that was impenetrable, and worthy of the name of fighting in all directions at night. The few black-clothed people closest to the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info were about to exchange praises, when they suddenly saw a feathered arrow pass through the sword light without hindrance, shooting from Bai Tang's mouth, revealing a little arrow blade with cold light in the back of his head.
Seeing Bai Tang stiffly fall to the ground, Qiu Ming clapped his palms with a smile: "Now, does anyone else tell me about the rules of the rivers and lakes?" No one dared to speak anymore, and these heroes could only let the wolf-like soldiers around them take away their famous blades in humiliation, and then they were shouted and crouched on the ground and tied into a long line of frogs.
Tyumen drank the remaining tea in the cup and said, "Lock them up first, and then clean them up tomorrow morning." After the idle people dispersed, he said to Wei Yan again: "I made a lot of arrangements today, but I didn't expect Zhou Jing to only arrange these ordinary Jianghu guests, it seems that there are not many people under him who can be invisible." By the way, what happened to the disciples of the Buddha Sect who were caught last time? ”
Wei Yan said: "They are all locked up, Zhang Ning is persuading them, hoping to recruit them into Taiping Dao." ”
Qiu Ming said in surprise: "These guys were first disciples of the Daomen, and then they entered the Buddhism Gate, and Zhang Ning wants to pull them back to the Daomen again?" What is such a capricious guy going to do? ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Most of these people joined the Buddha Sect because after Luo Yao's death, the dragons were leaderless, and they were hunted down by the imperial court, so they were bewitched by Zhenrong and others. Now Zhang Ning is recruiting them in the name of her father's great sage and mentor, which is still very effective. ”
Qiu Ming stared at Wei Yan for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Okay, whatever you two do, just be careful not to play with fire." Wei Yan smiled and agreed.
Early the next morning, all these black-clothed people were transferred to the county lieutenant of Dangxian County, and regardless of his face being so bitter that he could almost shed tears, Liu Biao Cao Cao began to march westward with his army.
Seeing that he was about to reach the county seat of Xiayi, the forward reported that a team blocked the way, but said that the father of Xiayi had come to work for the army.
"Lao Jun?" Liu Biao looked at Cao Cao with a smile: "I have led soldiers for so many years, and I have only seen the local people flee in all directions when they see the officers and soldiers scattered, and I have never seen anyone who took the initiative to come to the labor army.
Cao Cao also smiled: "It's just some people, let's see it first." “
Qiu Ming was teasing Zhen Mi on the carriage, and suddenly noticed that the front team stopped, and after asking the reason, Qiu Ming smiled and said: "Such a rare thing is really rare, I will also go to the front to have a look." “
Zhen Mi shouted: "Teacher, take me too, I'm very stuffy in the car." Qiu Ming thought about it and took the little girl in his arms. didn't go far, Zhou Yu and Sima Yi were jealous of the special treatment Zhen Mi received, and they also wanted to follow, so Qiu Ming brought them with him.
Xiayi is the ancient chestnut city, the city is several zhang high, surrounded by water on all sides, and only one suspension bridge is connected to the outside world. When Tyumen came to the front team, he saw a large group of people eating pot pulp on the edge of the suspension bridge, and they were shouting to reward the king. A white-bearded old man said: "How many times have we seen the northern army of the imperial court when we live in a remote area?" When I saw it today, it was indeed a mighty teacher, raising the prestige of my Han family. The soldiers have traveled hard, and the people of the countryside have prepared thin wine, meat and livestock, please enjoy them to your heart's content. ”
Qiu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Old man, who told you that we are coming?" ”
A young man said: "Yesterday, Wang County's order has been announced to the whole city from door to door, and every household must go out of the city today to work in the army, otherwise there will be a double endowment at the end of the year, who dares not to come?" ”
Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Liu Biao and Cao Cao's faces suddenly became ugly, and Liu Biao said angrily: "What about your Wang County Order? ”
The white-bearded old man picked up his cane and knocked the reckless young man a few times, and said to Liu Biao respectfully: "The county order went to Shangqiu City on business, I am the third elder of the county, and the general can tell me whatever he wants." ”
Liu Biao suddenly lost his temper, one county and three elders, even when he saw him today, he had to be polite, not to mention that he was a small marquis of the Northern Army. He waved his hand and said: "Old man, our Northern Army is the Imperial Guard of the Son of Heaven, not the Rogue Bandit Army, there is no need to engage in these forms of hypocrisy, you should take these things back, we don't need them." ”
The old man said: "Whether the general has it or not, since these things have been taken out, they will definitely not be taken back." General, please see, the pigs and sheep are already ripe, and the fruit sweet cakes are also produced in the hometown, especially the tender stems of this pampas grass", he took out a green onion and jade bamboo shoot from the plate and said: "This thing is produced in the moat lake, fragrant and delicious, crisp and silkless, it is good to take some to eat on the road." ”
Tyumen then noticed the moat behind them, which covered an extremely large area, sparkling, with a gentle breeze blowing and lush aquatic plants swaying and undulating. Qiu Ming sighed: "This lake can not only protect the city, but also support the city, it is really a godsend." ”
The old man smiled and said: "The scenery on the lake is good, it's not just water and grass, general, please look over there." With his greeting, more than a dozen painting boats came out of the water gate in the city, and the warblers and swallows on the boats were chattering, and some of them waved their scarves at the cavalry on the shore.
Liu Biao secretly said that it was not good, the training of the soldiers of the Northern Army was hard, and the military salary was high, so when they were stationed in Mengjin, many soldiers in the battalion asked for leave to go to Luoyang Qinglou to have fun, and Liu Biao has always turned a blind eye to this. But now that the army has been in the mountains for so long, seeing a woman now is like a hungry wolf seeing meat, how can it be easily let go?
Cao Cao obviously thought of this layer as well, and said angrily: "Are these women also a specialty of Xiayi County?" ”
The old man smiled: "Of course not, these are the girls specially invited by Wang County Ling from nearby counties and towns yesterday, plus the Qinglou in this county, so many people have been brought together." In fact, when it comes to Lao Jun, the pig and sheep fruits just now can only be regarded as appetizers, and the girl on the painting boat is Lao Jun's main meal. Their money has already been paid, and the generals and soldiers can enjoy it to their heart's content, and they don't have to be restrained. ”
Cao Cao and Liu Biao glanced at each other, and then looked at Qiu Ming together. This way of working the army is really incredible, and I am afraid that there will be a big problem, but look at the cavalry behind, one by one by the Yingyan on the painting boat, all of them are flushed and their nostrils are open, and even the mounts that straddle down are panting uneasily, if they say half a word in their mouths, I don't know if they will be torn to pieces by these beasts.
When he didn't know what to do, Sima Yi suddenly stepped forward and said to the white-bearded old man: "Since the old man is the third elder of the county, he should be in charge of the education, I don't know if this Lao Jun's main meal was come up by the old man himself, or is the terroir of Xiayi County like this?" After we return to Beijing, we can't say that we have to ask for the title of a ** hometown for your county in front of the Son of Heaven. ”
