Chapter 54: The Wanderer
Bah!
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spit out by a man, Xiao Liu reacted very quickly, and blocked it with a slap, Yuan Yun looked at these suppressed homeless people in front of him, but there was nothing unpleasant about the corners of his mouth.
The spitting man was the leader of these people, and when he took in these homeless people, he was also elected, so he was naturally a person of status among these people, and he was most likely a fine work sent by Wuling County.
And now among these displaced people, the rebellion has occurred three or four times, and many people have been driven away before, but this time the rebellion is more concentrated, gathering nearly 5,000 people at one time, and more than 1,000 were shot on the spot by the gunpowder army, which was suppressed.
However, Yuan Yun didn't plan to dwell on these problems, so he waved his hand directly and generously, and ordered Xiao Liu: "Let these people go, and then order them to roll out of the Xiangyang Territory with their families, and if they dare to stay, they will definitely take their heads." ”
Yuan Yun said before he spoke, including the leader, everyone present was stunned, because these rebels didn't think that they would have a way to live, and when they heard that they were just driven away, they were naturally suspicious.
"This Yuan Hou doesn't want to bully me and wait, you said to release us on the front foot, maybe how to chase and kill us when you turn around, it's better to come with a knife now." It was an old man who spoke, and judging by his appearance, he should be in his sixties at least, and he didn't want to be involved in any rebellion at such an age.
Before the old man could speak, the crowd around him immediately became agitated, they all belonged to the fleeing refugees before, and at this moment, seeing that their original companions were about to be killed, they naturally had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
Yuan Yun saw that the surrounding laborers began to be restless, and immediately said to the old man in a cold voice: "Why do you need to play those tricks if Ben Hou wants to kill you, now it is also a trivial matter to put you and your family to death, why let you go and hunt down again?" ”
The old man who spoke was also stunned at the moment, feeling that his guess just now was indeed very illogical, so the old man blushed and chose to shut up, but at this moment, the so-called leader who took the lead sneered and said: "Yuan Yun, you despicable villain, notoriously vicious, who knows what you are thinking, saying that you are letting us go, if you don't do it, you are hanging us to play, you had better kill us all at the moment, and don't pretend to be good people here!" ”
Yuan Yun smiled when he heard this, then shook his finger and said, "Did Ben Hou say that he wanted to let you go?" It's better if you don't speak, but your words remind Ben Hou that someone will always be responsible for this riot, so you will be chosen! ”
Before Yuan Yun's words fell, Xiao Liu had already taken two strong men to hold down the tied leader, and then without waiting for the other party to speak, he had already raised his knife and cut off the other party's head very cleanly, and the blood spurted out in an instant, dyeing a large area of red sand.
Seeing that the leader was killed, those homeless people who were looking for food also seemed to see the time of death, so they were all depressed, and some naturally began to regret it in their hearts.
"Count the families of these people, and then drive them all away from the Xiangyang territory, and execute those who don't leave."
Yuan Yun didn't give these people time to think or regret, and directly gave the order, the soldiers of the Gunpowder Army had already counted the families of these people, and then drove them away to the city gate as quickly as possible, and even some soldiers pointed out the direction of leaving for these people.
When these people finally set foot on the deserted road outside the city, they inexplicably found that the country was really not deceiving people, but really forgave their capital crimes, and even their families were spared.
The group had only gathered for a while, and they did not hesitate any longer, and immediately began to go west, for the time given by the prince was to leave before evening.
At this moment, the leader who took the lead was killed, so naturally there was the old man who dared to speak to take the lead, they had been indoctrinated before the rebellion, Liu Bei's benevolent and righteous army in the west was recovering the land of Jingzhou, they joined the resistance now, and they would inevitably get good rewards in the future.
Now that the big guys have participated in the riot, it can be regarded as a contribution to the famous benevolent and righteous Liu Bei, and it is reasonable to take refuge at this moment, so the old man did not hesitate, took more than three thousand strong men, and then began to rush to the west with his family, and the huge team gathered into six or seven thousand people at this moment, like a long snake, winding towards the west, but the eyes of these people were full of hope for the future.
Because they brought their families and had no food, these six or seven thousand people were dragging their families and mouths, and the speed of their actions can be imagined, when they finally left the Xiangyang territory, they were already hungry, and the children were crying and shouting, they were very puzzled, why they still had delicious food to eat a few days ago, and a warm place to live, but now they have to starve in the wilderness.
Seeing the miserable condition of their children, many people began to waver in their hearts again, what did they rise up to rebel for? After they came to Xiangyang, they immediately had a good job, as long as they worked every day, they had a good pay, and even when they first arrived, they were allowed to pay food on credit to support their families.
As the team continued to advance, there was constant chaos in the ranks, and the only thing that could still support these people was the so-called invisible hope in the west, but soon, this hope was completely shattered.
When these six or seven thousand displaced people had been gone for five days, they met a group of rebels who had been driven away before, and they were also the first to be driven away.
When the first group of people who were driven away also fled to the west with the same hope, all they got was to be blocked from the city gate of Yong'an County, and after a stalemate for a while, driven by hunger, finally people began to gather at the city gate, and they hoped that the Renjun named Liu Bei could give an explanation, and all they got was countless arrows.
The displaced people who were then driven away from the past were treated in the same way, and finally evolved directly into a large number of scouts who began to launch raids on these displaced people along the way.
"Who's doing it?" The old man, who was leading six or seven thousand homeless people, finally asked a question.
One of the wanderers who had been wounded by the sword sighed deeply and said, "We were injured by the scouts who were ambushed, and when those scouts slashed us, they only said that they were on the orders of Yuan Hou of Xiangyang, but how can this be believed? We were kept out of the gates of Yong'an County before, and then we were shot with a bow and crossbow, and then these scouts appeared, and Yuan Hou really wanted to kill us, so why bother? As long as there is an order in Xiangyang, we will all lose our heads, so why let us go and chase and kill again? ”
When the old man heard this, his lips twitched instantly, causing his white beard to start shaking, in fact, when he asked, he already knew the result, but he didn't want to believe it, after all, Liu Bei was already their last hope.
Looking back at the busy sea of people behind him, it was not until this time that the old man finally understood why Yuan Yun's face was full of ridicule when he released them, and even said that their group of people were fools and were being treated; is pitted with his family, but everyone still looks hopeful.
Boom!
The old man smashed his fist on the ground, and then said angrily: "Go back, let's go back to Xiangyang, the old man will go and kneel for that Yuan Hou, even if it is to ask for the old man's head, there is nothing to say, we have really been deceived." ”
The homeless man who was wounded by the sword immediately nodded and lamented: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that we have food, drink and accommodation in Xiangyang, and the children even have teachers to teach literacy, which is simply better than the past days, but we are obsessed with ghosts, and we want to follow to rebel, what is this plan?" ”
As soon as these words spread out, thousands of people exploded in an instant, and when people fell into despair, they naturally began to complain, and complaining is also a disguised summary.
The old man didn't hesitate any longer, immediately gathered a few people who could speak, and then led the team to start returning, he was ready, whether it was kowtowing or cutting off his head when he went back this time, as long as he could let these people live the previous life again, his dignity was nothing at all.
When the brigade finally began to return in a mighty manner, the sword-wounded homeless man who had been lying on the stretcher suddenly laughed weirdly.
A man next to him who was in charge of taking care of him immediately said unhappily: "If you dare to laugh out loud, dog, Lao Tzu will knock out one of your teeth." ”
The dog was immediately startled when he heard this, and quickly covered his mouth, and then whispered: "Brother Li Li, did you say that my acting skills were in place just now?" ”
Li Li smashed his mouth, smiled, and said, "It's okay, if you meet Deng Ai Gongzi after you go back, Lao Tzu will help you introduce you and see if you can join the special forces." ”
The dog was overjoyed when he heard this, and said proudly: "Our Hou Ye is really a capable person, deliberately spread in Yong'an County that we want to blend in with the homeless people, and then launch an attack on the city, but the result is really scared that Liu Bei City Gate does not dare to open it......"
Syllable!
Before the dog finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Li Li, and now he didn't have to act to become a miserable look.
After beating the dog, Li Li immediately instructed another entourage: "Hurry up and pass the book to Hou Ye Feige, just say that these homeless people are starting to return, they should prepare early, otherwise they will really starve to death A lot of people, alas, why bother, look at those people just now, they are all so hungry that they are about to eat people, it is estimated that after a while, these people will be eaten by their children, pitiful." ”
