Chapter 154: Zhao Yun was furious
"How many ironclad cavalry are there in this Tiger and Leopard Army...... Wang Yaozhong, whose face was full of shock, let out another exclamation.
Of course, Zhao Yun will not answer this question.
In the words of Wei Zheng, after part of the military strength of the Haw Par Army is revealed, the more mysterious the remaining military strength is, the more scruples and fears the opponent will be.
Zhao Yun couldn't bear to speak, and the cavalry battalion Qian who was behind Wang Yaozhong couldn't help it.
When facing the thousand ironclad cavalry behind Zhao Yun, the cavalry battalion was full of panic, not to mention that there was a steady stream of tiger and leopard cavalry on the official road towards Zunhua.
Faced with the growing disparity in strength between the enemy and us, Mr. Qian took a deep breath and persuaded Wang Yaozhong beside him: "My lord, from the perspective of humble duties, we still break the fortune and avoid disasters and give the Tiger and Par Army some food and salary..."
Seeing that Wang Yaozhong was silent, the cavalry battalion commander hurriedly explained: "My lord, let's not say that the tiger and leopard army has the emperor's order. Even if they don't have the emperor's order to send so many cavalry to garrison outside Zunhua City, we can't do anything about them..."
"Because, the strength of the Haw Par Army is too strong, far beyond our imagination."
"If we don't pay them, send them out of Zunhua as soon as possible. Maybe they will really be stationed outside our Zunhua City, and when the time comes, we will not only be charged with resisting the order, but also offend the strong army of the Haw Par Army... The gains outweigh the losses....therefore, please carefully consider the construction of the lowly position. ”
"That's it...."A sigh full of helplessness came out of Wang Yaozhong's mouth.
He said to his subordinates behind him: "Today's Haw Par Army is no longer our subordinates, but an independent army at the same level as us, guarding the land of a mansion. Spend a little money and food to hand over this strong army. Maybe it will help us in the future..."
After speaking. The decision has already been made in the Wang Yao Center. He shouted to the cavalry behind him, "You go back immediately and prepare 50,000 catties of grain." 20,000 taels of silver tickets, as far as I can, will be sent here to pay for the brothers of the Haw Par Army..."
Looking at the grain cart and 20,000 taels of silver tickets brought back by the cavalry regiment, Wei Zheng's face was directly happy. said to Zhou Shuyuan, who was shocked beside him: "Military advisor, see it, this is the benefit of showing off your might..."
"Not only show the strong strength of our Haw Par Army, but also make others unable to see through us and afraid of us. He also received ten days' food and a month's salary for nothing. If our tiger and leopard army can have such a harvest in every county, when we reach Datong Mansion all the way, we can at least earn a year's salary and several months of grain and grass for nothing......"
Zhou Shuyuan, who reacted from surprise, also smiled from ear to ear because of the grain and grass in his hands.
After glancing at the ten grain carts full of grain in front of him, he said excitedly: "General, it just so happens that we still have hundreds of empty horses, as long as the general can have a harvest, I can take them with me." It's really not good, each brother divides dozens of catties of grain, and he can also bring hundreds of thousands of catties of grain..."
"Also. We also have to bring these ten mules and horses, since the Zunhua general soldiers have sent them out. Then we'll take it all. ”
Wei Zheng nodded and replied: "Military, you can just look at it....When we arrive at Datong Mansion, I guarantee that all the horses in our hands can be loaded with food..."
Zhou Shuyuan said with a satisfied face: "Then I will thank the general....if we can put all the remaining hundreds of horses on the food, and our Tiger and Leopard Army can have at least two or three months more grain and grass, then our Tiger and Leopard Army's confidence in Datong Mansion will become more sufficient." ”
Wei Zheng affirmed loudly: "Then I will sue you, your wish will definitely come true." ”
After speaking, Wei Zheng's gaze had shifted to Zhao Yun again, and he ordered loudly: "Find the regiment commander, you should have heard what the military advisor and I just said, whether the military wish can be realized depends on your cavalry regiment." “
"I ordered the cavalry regiment, as the vanguard of the Haw Par Army, to set off immediately to clear the march road for the main force. As for how to fulfill the wishes of the military advisors, I believe you should already have experience...."
Yangyuan County, which is less than 200 miles away from Datong Prefecture, is located at the junction of Shanxi Province and Beizhili, in order to prevent displaced people from Shanxi Province from entering Beizhili and threatening the safety of Beizhili.
In Yangyuan County, a large number of officers and soldiers and checkpoints were stationed on all the official roads leading to Beizhili.
The cavalry regiment commanded by Zhao Yun galloped all the way, and as soon as it entered the territory of Yangyuan County, a checkpoint with 100 officers and soldiers stood in front of Zhao Yun. Not only that, within Zhao Yun's field of vision, hundreds of ragged homeless people all gathered on the front line of the checkpoint, confronting the official army with the hope of life, hoping that this official army could let them enter Beizhili.
Of course, these alone can't cause Zhao Yun to be moved. After all, before Zhao Yun became a bandit, he was also a homeless person.
However, when his gaze shifted to the rear of the hundreds of homeless people, a nameless anger suddenly surged into his heart.
Dozens of corpses lay scattered on both sides of the road, some of which may have begun to decompose, and a few vultures were surrounding the corpses, eating carrion.
Around these corpses, more than a dozen dying homeless people were lying motionless on the ground waiting to die because of hunger.
As for the families of these displaced people, they sat next to them with a face full of despair, watching their relatives leave them because of hunger.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun was sure that these corpses were all homeless people who had just died in the last few days.
Seeing that the displaced people were turned into corpses because of hunger, the officers and soldiers with a large amount of food in their hands not only did not go to the rescue, but did not even give them a way to live, preventing them from entering Beizhili.
Faced with the huge gap between the two sides of the level, which can be called hell and heaven, Zhao Yun was furious.
He ordered the commander of the first battalion of the cavalry regiment behind him: "Lao Wang, rush over and surround all the officers and soldiers in the checkpoint." In addition, take out all our dry food and send it to the homeless, they are really miserable..."
The commander of the first battalion, who had long been unable to look at the behavior of the officers and soldiers, replied loudly: "Regiment commander, you just look at it....ensure that not a single officer or soldier can escape..."
"Boom...."After the sound of horses' hooves sounded, under the stunned gaze of a hundred officers and hundreds of homeless people, three hundred ironclad cavalry appeared around them like divine soldiers descending from heaven.
As soon as the three hundred cavalry showed their weapons, the officers and soldiers, who were still arrogant in front of the homeless people, were immediately frightened into shrunken turtles. What's more, he threw down his weapon directly out of fear and knelt on the ground with his head in his hands.
In the face of the well-equipped cavalry, the officers and men held back the fear in their hearts, and asked the commander of the first battalion tremblingly while holding it with trembling hands.
"Your Excellency, you are... We are carrying out military orders, why surround us ..."
"What's going on up ahead, why are you setting up checkpoints here to prevent displaced people from coming over? Also, you are still not human, why don't you save yourself when you see death, and watch those homeless people starve to death..."The first battalion commander asked with a murderous face.
Hearing these questions, he looked at the battalion commander with a look of incomprehension as if he was looking at an alien. (To be continued......)
