Chapter Seventy-Two: Zhuozhou

No matter how reluctant he was, Yun Hao still ushered in the first battle of this expedition. In fact, there is nothing to see at all, for a place that starts to go hungry just after the autumn harvest. Food means everything.

In a mountain forest beside the road, a group of men on horseback suddenly rushed out. Not much, about 100 people. But the people who follow behind them can be described as overwhelming.

They are all veterans who have been trained by Yun Hao's current tactics, and they will destroy the enemy on the offensive route, which is Yun Hao's military philosophy as well. The grain carts were quickly besieged, and 5,000 crossbows were fired at the rushing enemy.

The bow and crossbow were activated at the same time, and there was a tired and windy whistling sound. With this whistling, the hundred and ten men on horseback became hedgehogs. Humans and horses alike, quickly lose their body heat in the colder winds.

The rest is slaughter, and the people on the other side have no armor. Even the weapons are big wooden sticks, and the smarter ones will use a wooden board as a shield. Such equipment cannot effectively resist the fire of the five-stone crossbow. The old fisherman gave technical guidance to the general who would be the supervisor, so the five-stone crossbow, something that ordinary people can't pull apart, began to appear in large quantities in the army. The solution is simple, just a series of gears.

Thin linen clothes can't stop arrows, and even rudimentary broken wooden boards can't do it. Man is like wheat that has been reaped, falling to the ground in row after row. On the way to charge, the corpses were pillowed, and the empty stomachs made these people actually want to die. Rather than being starved to death, it is better to die happily once.

Go on and on, until there is nothing to kill. In front of Yun Hao, there were only two people left, an old man and a young man, facing an army of five thousand armed to the teeth. With tears in their eyes, they walked forward step by step. The bare feet have no shoes, and the purple heels can still be seen despite the mud covering. This is what came to find death, and for them, death was really a relief.

Once again, it was confirmed that man could howl like a wolf, and the sound of a mournful and desolate voice echoed in the glade at the edge of the woodland. A group of government soldiers walked out of the ranks, and when they saw the corpse, they stabbed them in the head. For them, the head represents merit and future wealth. It doesn't matter if they used to be villagers or honest people. As long as they take up arms against the army, then they are enemies. That's right, a big wooden stick is also a weapon. In many cases, this thing is standard equipment for the peasant army.

The ox cart dragged an unknown number of people behind, and Yun Hao did not allow them to walk on the upper wind. Wuli Sima personally witnessed these feats, and this is what works. Although, Yun Hao thought that this was a naked massacre, there was really no martial arts to show off.

When I stayed in a village at night, it was empty. Not to mention chickens and dogs, there is not even a single person. At night, the night guards caught a few ghostly guys. These guys are special, and their eyes actually have a wolf-like glow in the dark.

Yun Hao did not hesitate to order someone to drag them out and bury them, without killing them and burying them alive. The soldiers faithfully carried out Yun Hao's orders, but the pit needed to be dug by these people themselves. These people worked very hard when digging the pit, and they had no rope on them to escape easily. But none of them fled, let alone resisted. Digging and sweating, as if they could leave after the labor reform was successful.

It's even more ridiculous to be kicked into the pit, and the veterans are very experienced. They couldn't move with just two hemp ropes tied upside down with their thumbs, and these guys didn't know the purpose of the pit now. With his hands tied, he arched upwards like maggots, trying his best to escape from the big pit he had dug with his own hands.

The soldiers were all veterans who were accustomed to battle, and they were probably the most peaceful peasants on weekdays. Some of them have gray hair, and they can even be called respectful elders. But on the battlefield, they are the most vicious jackals. Expect them to open the net than expect the sow to go up the tree.

As long as there are people who arch up the gentle slope, they will pierce the bastard with a spear and kick it into the pit, and Yun Hao finds that their eyes are cold, like a lifeless robot.

The people on the edge of the pit filled in the soil happily, and some strange guys actually opened their mouths to catch the soil, and they would eat the soil, which is not a way, there is a lot of soil, and they can't eat it all.

"Brother Hao! Not really! Li Daoyan looked at the miserable situation in the pit, and he couldn't bear it. In the end, it was a gentleman in Chang'an City, who relied on the way of his father Li Shentong to be stuffed in as a deputy general to make military merits. Li Shentong's face couldn't be refuted, and Yun Hao could only pinch his nose and admit it. However, it was said that the adjutant general could not give any military orders. In fact, even if he speaks, only his own family will listen. Others, at all, are simply farting.

"All the people here are dead, but they are not dead. Look at how powerful it is to arch upwards. You say, how can they still have so much strength when they haven't eaten? ”

"You mean they eat ......! Vomit......! Thinking that the pit was full of man-eating guys, Li Daoyan opened his mouth and vomited.

"Man is not a beast, and even animals have many who do not eat their own kind. So, ah, if this man eats people. That's not even as good as a brute, and if such a guy sees one, he has to slaughter one. To remain in the world is a scourge. Yun Hao also left after speaking, and he couldn't stand this kind of scene of burying people alive.

The army did not reach Zhuozhou until there was a place to repair. Luo Yi personally took people out of the city for ten miles to greet him, but he didn't expect the little fart child back then. Now he has become the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, which makes Luo Yi sigh. He joined the Tang Dynasty, in addition to giving the surname Li, there is only one title of Yan Guogong. Compared with the feudal officials of the year, the king of Beiping, who ate tea, was one level worse.

"Yun Hao greets Yan Guogong!" Seeing Luo Yi, Yun Hao immediately walked out of the carriage and bowed down. This is a formal occasion and can only be called official. If they meet in private, Yun Hao should be called Uncle Luo Yi.

Luo Yi is really old, when we first met. There are gray hairs, but not much. But at this meeting, Luo Yi's head was almost full of white hair.

In recent years, Hebei can be regarded as changing, Liu Wuzhou is making trouble, and Dou Jiande is also making trouble. From the south, Wang Shichong occupied Henan, and there were powerful Wagang rebels. One by one, Luo Yi is overwhelmed!

But these guys were finally wiped out by Li Tang's army. Facts have proved that Li Tang is the last laugh in this change. Now Luo Yi is very glad that he has taken refuge in Li Tang, if he takes refuge in Dou Jiande, he may not even be able to keep a place like Zhuozhou.

The army was not allowed to enter the walled city when passing by, but Luo Yi prepared a military camp for Yun Hao very intimately. The so-called military camp turned out to be a small town on the edge of Zhuozhou, although it was not big, but thousands of people could barely live there. Dou Jiande's rebellious army has completely abandoned many villages, and the madness of the rebellious army has discouraged even a fierce general like Luo Yi. can only stay in the city of Zhuozhou and watch the chaotic army ravage the countryside.

"Hebei is tired, so I can only find such a place for you." Luo Yi stood in Yun Hao's Chinese army and looked up at the sky above his head.

"What Uncle Luo said, it would be good to have a place to stay even in Hebei after the military disaster. Fortunately, it's not winter yet, and I can barely survive the winter if I repair it. It's just the firewood and charcoal of the army, which needs to be helped by the uncle. There is no firewood and charcoal in the winter, and the army will probably collapse without fighting. "Now there are nearly twenty days left before the onset of winter, and Yun Hao thinks that these houses are still in the category of salvage.

"Chai-charcoal is not a problem, the carbon-based charcoal you mentioned in your letter is available in Zhuozhou, and people have already asked to get it. It was missing in the winter, even if I came to my uncle. Don't call Uncle Ronald in the future, Your Majesty has a will. Give the surname of the country, and call it Uncle Li in the future! ”

In later generations, it was a curse to let people change their surnames, but this year has become a favor. Fortunately, the Yun family has Yun Hao's only seedling, and if Li Yuan lets Yun Hao change his surname to Yun Hao, he will also resist the decree.

"Let's go in, the food is a little thin. If you have something to pick your mouth, let's see if this meal is to your kid's heart. "Luo Yi is very polite to Yun Hao, and now no one in Datang doesn't know. Yun Hao is the number one favorite minister outside the royal family, and the marquis who dares to beat the prince, Mantang is such a person. And there are no consequences after the beating, which makes people look sideways.

Entered a slightly decent house, but the facilities were complete. The house looks like it's been renovated, but it's a little small. Yun Hao and his entourage of twenty or thirty people were crammed in, and they were immediately full. It's a bit shabby, but it's a bit shabby.

The place is shabby, but the food is really diverse. Zhuozhou is not close to the sea, but it is much closer than Luoyang, Chang'an. The prawns with the thick arms of babies are only the prawns produced in Bohai Bay. The reason why it's called prawns is that after this thing grows. Two is the weight of a pound!

Two crabs with spikes, my God, isn't this the legendary flying crab? In later generations, this thing will be sold for more than 100 pieces, and at least 200 such a big one.

As for what wild boar on the mountain, a whole roasted large pheasant. The huge roasted whole sheep was as big as a donkey, and Yun Hao suspected that this thing had horse genes. Is this a fucking sheep?

This is a standard mountain and sea delicacy, and Yun Hao is sure that Li Yuan's palace banquet may not have such good things to eat. It's that the wine is the Yun family's steamed wine, and this thing is purely the product of the failure of alcohol refining. For home-made things, Yun Hao still knows a lot. However, this thing is transported to Hebei, or to the Turks, it is considered valuable. Not an aristocrat, don't even want to taste a bite.

Yun Hao felt that these jars of Yun family's steamed wine were definitely worth a thousand gold.

"Uncle Lee, I know you like my wine. I didn't say anything, but this time I brought some aging wine. You taste it! "Yun Hao didn't want to drink the wine in the jar, he had always heard that drinking fake wine would make him blind. Yun Hao felt that this thing produced in his family was about the same as blending fake wine.

"Haha, your drinks are a rare goodie. I remember the last time your kid brought some to the old man from Jinyang, and the wine he bought was violent and not mellow enough. What a pity! Years of war led to the severance of trade routes. I haven't drunk your wine for several years, so hurry up and bring it up, and the old man is hungry. "There is no one who is not good at drinking, Luo Yi heard that Yun Hao brought good wine, where can he bear it.

"Originally, among these drinks, there was a cart of Uncle Lee. The meeting just now was a business affair, so there was no mention of it. ”

"Your kid is a sensible man, your brother has you to take care of him in Chang'an, and the old man is a lot more relieved. Speaking of which, those children back then. You're the youngest, and you're still a doll. Who would have thought that today your title is the highest. ”

"What Uncle Li said, the kid was young back then. In fact, the kid has always treated Uncle Qin as an elder, but he is afraid that he will call you old. If it is according to the seniority, it should be called you Grandpa Li. ”

"Hahaha! That's a good thing to say! Everyone's talking, you kid is really not used to calling old man grandpa old man. It's your brother, who's older than you. I didn't even give birth to a son, I heard that your kid already has a son. It's okay, your brother can talk more about experience, and let your brother give birth to a son quickly, so that the old man can also enjoy the blessings of Chenghuan's knees. ”

Luo Cheng has not given birth to a boy and a girl over the years, and it has always been Luo Yi's heart disease. But Luo Cheng has been outside all these years, and Luo Yi just wants to nag, but he can't find anyone.

This old bastard thinks about his grandson and wants to go crazy, so it's okay to talk more about experience. Could it be that your old guy wants Lao Tzu to be like Li Yuan and Pei Lian, what kind of uncovered meeting is there? The old rascal's mind is really impossible to guess.

Yun Hao brought people into the table, and Luo Yi introduced his subordinates to Yun Hao one by one. They are all old acquaintances, and they have almost seen them in Beiping Mansion back then. There are a few new faces, all of whom have heard names and have never met anyone. For example, Zhang Jian!

When he heard that Yun Hao's deputy general was Li Daoyan, the eldest son of Li Shentong, Luo Yi actually stood up and accepted Li Daoyan's salute. This is also a courtesy for a lieutenant general.

Li Daoyan was also polite, and he gave a salute without saying a word. People are willing to stand up, that's to give their dad face. Li Shentong is really a supernatural existence in today's Datang. There are many Li Yuan brothers, but this one is the most valued. There are many princes of the Tang Dynasty, but most of them are county kings. Only Li Yuan's two sons were crowned princes, and the younger brother was crowned princes. It can be seen that Li Yuan's trust in this younger brother.

"The little nephew has heard of Yan Gong's name, and his father often said that Yan Gong was a real hero when he was a horse lance across the land of Yan Zhao. The little nephew feels enthusiastic when he thinks about it, and it is really a blessing to see Yan Gong today. If you can get Yan Gong's guidance, the little nephew is really inexhaustible in this life! ”

Yun Hao's mouth opened into an O-shape, who didn't know that Li Dashao was the most famous gentleman in Chang'an. The lord whose eyes are on the top of the brain is good to see that ordinary people don't use their nostrils to stare at you. But I didn't expect that this thing was very good. In these two sentences, Luo Yi over there has already begun to make a move, and it seems that he has a great plan to accept apprentices.
