Chapter 921: Three-Way Game (I)
In the face of the provocative tone of the invading soldiers, the soldiers of the independent regiment were a little uncontrollable, and they rolled up their sleeves and were about to step forward to theorize, seeing that a small conflict was about to be staged.
After all, the two sides are quasi-alliances, this side needs to break into the army to provide human resources, and that side needs the arms assistance of the Qiong Navy, each of which has an irreplaceable role, and the supreme leaders of the two sides have made an agreement to fight for the world together, even if they are on guard against each other, but on the surface they still have to maintain harmony.
Seeing that the eyes on both sides were staring at each other a bit of a dry fight, the leader of the army hurriedly blocked in front of the provocateur and squeezed out a smile: "This guy has always spoken like this, you don't have to ...... it in your heart", and the officer over there also grabbed the soldier who was about to step forward to theorize, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding." ”
Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, the soldiers on both sides were still pulled down, and they were all down for a while.
"You melon skin, over there is our God of Wealth, the soju you drink, the cotton clothes you wear, the gold sore medicine for your injuries are all given by them, and the cannons. Annoyed them, something else can do it, but what about this cannon? King Chuang wants to use cannons to fight officers and soldiers, and when the cannons run out, Lao Tzu will stuff you into the barrel of the cannon and shoot it out! ”
"Why are you so impulsive? Why are you like these rogues? Besides, now is the time for the general to expand the army on a large scale, these displaced people are very important to us, you don't want to ruin the general's plan because of a small loss......"
After defusing a potential hiccup, the handover went smoothly.
The displaced people who were treated as cattle, horses, pigs and sheep in the hands of the intruding army, after entering the side of the Qiong Navy, were treated like a world of difference. The Qiong Navy already had a complete set of procedures for sheltering the homeless, and before the intrusive army and the homeless arrived, there were already special people who set up porridge sheds, set up iron pots, and boiled rice porridge. The homeless people, who had not eaten enough for several days, smelled the fragrance of the porridge, inhaled the fragrance greedily, and unconsciously surrounded the porridge shack, and someone came to guide them to line up in order.
"Folks, are you hungry? Rest assured, everyone has porridge to drink, but don't grab it, line up, the old and the children are in the front, the women are in the middle, and the young and strong are in the back......"
The soup cooks were kind and pleasant, and the arrangements were reasonable, and the old and weak women and children put their minds at ease and lined up in front of the porridge shed one after another. The young men were a little unwilling, and wanted to squeeze to the front to grab the porridge early—you know, when you follow the king, if you want to eat well, you have to rely on your fists—but the soldier next to you, who is responsible for maintaining order, kicked and kicked mercilessly, driving those who tried to cut in line to the back of the line.
"If you dare to cut in line again, you will be executed on the spot!" An officer announced coldly.
Looking at the bayonets on the muzzle of the other party, the young men swallowed a mouthful of saliva, did not dare to make another time, and lined up honestly.
Holding the hot porridge, many homeless people cried with joy, leaving tears, how long has it been since they had a meal?
The person in charge of the soup kitchen patrolled with the soldiers of the independent regiment to prevent uneven distribution, and some people did not eat or some people ate too much. This is not only to prevent conflicts between displaced people and affect their migration actions, but also to prevent displaced people from overeating after starving for too long, and their bodies cannot bear it.
Because the number of people in this batch was too large, more than a dozen porridge sheds could not supply porridge for a while, and the speed of the transfer of the two armies was also slowed down.
Someone on the side of the army complained in a low voice: "Do they think they are living bodhisattvas? So many people, do you have to drink porridge for everyone? Starve to death a batch, and the rest are young and strong, so isn't it cooler? It's really grinding, and it delays our time......"
"What's the way, people are the God of Wealth, we don't dare to offend ......"
The soldier who almost caused a conflict between the two sides before sneered: "It's just some rich people in the countryside." If it weren't for King Chuang's liking for this kind of cannon, he would have done it a long time ago......"
Someone chimed in: "That's it, I don't like these soldiers, they are dressed very brightly, I'm afraid they are all old soldiers, pampered, where can they compare to the ...... that crawled out of the pile of dead people."
Just as the handover was proceeding slowly, and the intruding army looked at each other unpleasantly, dust rose in the distance, and rumbling hooves sounded in the northwest direction.
Both the Chuang army and the Joan navy raised their vigilance, clenched their weapons and stared in the northwest direction.
After a while, a large flag appeared on the horizon, embroidered with the word "Chen" in a big bucket. After the army entered Henan, he fought with the officers and soldiers, and naturally knew whose men and horses it was, so they shouted one after another: "The people of Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng!" ”
Nearly 20,000 displaced people fell into chaos for a while.
From common sense, they should be happy about the arrival of officers and soldiers, after all, they are the subjects of the imperial court, and the officers and soldiers protect them, and after being coerced by the invading army, life is really worse than death, and they don't know when they will starve to death, and one day they will be used as cannon fodder to die in siege warfare. But in this troubled world, the officers and soldiers are not necessarily much stronger than the intruding army, and the homeless people like them who are coerced are all "chaotic people" who are "thieves" in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and there is only one end - they are cut down as rogues, and the head is taken to receive a reward.
If an hour ago, these numb homeless people didn't bother to think about how to deal with it, anyway, they would not have survived with the army, and they would not end well in the hands of officers and soldiers, they would have to wait for death. But now the behavior of the Qiong Navy gave them hope of survival, and after a short period of confusion, the displaced people who had recovered from their senses spread their feet and ran in the direction of the Qiong Navy, almost breaking the array of soldiers of the Independent Regiment. Su Thick Legs hurriedly ordered to get out of the way of the middle road, let all the homeless people over, and then relined the formation to block the front of the homeless.
The order of the handover was disrupted, and the invading army raised its weapons to face the north-west, but secretly guarded against the independent regiment that was close at hand.
A large group of horsemen rolled up smoke and rushed over, stopping a few hundred paces away. The first general rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, looked at the cavalry of the intruding army, and then looked at the flag of the Qiong navy, puzzled. He recognized the army, and this other group of people was obviously dressed as officers and soldiers, but these two groups of people were mixed together and didn't see the battle, what was going on?
The general shouted in the direction of the Qiong Navy: "Which of the general soldiers are you, and why are you in peace with the thieves?" ”
The general of the Chuang army rolled his eyes and shouted first: "They are from Qionghai Town, and they are doing business with our King Chuang, can you control it?" "This is clearly to launch the Lajong Navy and not give the officers and soldiers on both sides a chance to join forces. Although Chuang Jun and Qiong Haijun had a private alliance, they could not be put on the table, especially in front of other officers and soldiers. Chuang Jun is still not at ease, unwilling to pin his safety on the credit of the Qiong Navy.
