Chapter 790: Villagers Who Resisted
Deng Zhan led the people to burn down the Huainan army led by Ji Ling in Rushan, and Liu Wei led Lu Bu and others, but at this time they were sleeping in the wilderness not far from a village near Shouchun.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the sunlight shone directly into Liu Wei's eyes, who were still asleep.
After sleeping in the field all night, his eyes were shining in the sun, Liu Wei stretched his waist and sat up, rubbed his eyes with both hands and shouted: "I slept so much!" ”
His shout startled several soldiers who were on guard not far behind him.
"Your Highness!" Liu Bian, who had just woken up, was about to get up, but Lu Bu, who had already gotten up, walked quickly to his side, raised his hand and pointed not far away, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, look! ”
Following the direction of Lu Bu's finger, Liu Wei noticed that only thirty or forty paces away from them, two young villagers were looking at them from a distance.
Seeing Lu Bu pointing at them, the two villagers' hearts tightened, and they hurriedly got up and ran towards the village.
Seeing the two villagers running away from a distance, Liu Wei turned his head and pouted at Lu Bu.
"Your Highness, the villagers seem to be very afraid of us!" The expression on Lu Bu's face was not as calm as Liu Wei's, he frowned slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "If they still listen to Yuan Shu, how can we get close to them?" ”
"It's okay!" Waving his hand at Lu Bu, who was worried, Liu Wei stood up, waved at Lu Bu and the group of guards who accompanied him here, and said, "Follow this king into the village!" ”
After receiving Liu Wei's order, Lu Bu and a group of guards jumped on their horses one after another, and followed Liu Wei towards the two villagers who had peeked at their village just now.
"Oh no! The Qin army is here! As soon as Liu Wei and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, a shout came from the village.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of villagers ran towards the entrance of the village with farm tools.
When the villagers ran out, they all had a look of generosity on their faces, and behind them were a large group of women, children, and old people who were also carrying farm tools.
Riding on horseback, looking at the villagers who ran out of the village, Liu Wei blinked his eyes twice and shouted to the villagers: "Villagers, what are you doing? Is this the king's coming here to welcome him like this? ”
Liu Wei called himself "this king" and was wearing golden armor, and the villagers did not know what his identity was for a while, and they looked at each other with farm tools, but no one dared to respond to his words.
"His Royal Highness King Qin is here, what are you waiting for?" The villagers did not respond to Liu Wei, Lu Bu walked out with Fang Tian's painted halberd and rode out, pointed at the villagers with the halberd, and shouted to them: "A certain is Lu Bu, you have also heard of the name of a certain person when you think about it." Take the head of the general in the army of ten thousand, and it is like probing the bag to take things, you and other villagers, but you are the opponent of so-and-so? ”
Lu Bu reported his name, and the villagers were suddenly panicked, and the young villagers standing at the front raised their farm tools one by one and put on a desperate posture.
Seeing that the villagers still looked like they were going to fight, Lu Bu glared at him, and with his legs on the horse's belly, he was about to go up.
"Don't hurt the lives of the villagers!" This time, Liu Wei did not stop Lu Bu, but shouted at him when he rode his horse out of the city.
Carrying Fang Tian's painting halberd, he was about to rush to the front of the group of villagers, Lu Bu suddenly thrust the painting halberd into the ground, and actually rushed towards a group of villagers with his empty hand.
Seeing Lu Bu riding his horse and rushing towards them, the villagers hurriedly raised their farm tools and were about to slash at him, but before the war horse reached the villagers, Lu Bu had already turned over and jumped off the horse, and rushed into the front group of villagers.
The fists and feet fell, and with the sound of fists and feet touching the flesh, the villagers fell down one by one.
Before the women, children and old people in the back came back to their senses, the strength of the whole village was actually thrown to the ground by Lu Bu.
The sturdy villagers who had been knocked down lay on the ground, moaning one by one and failing to get up for a while.
Knocking down this group of villagers, Lu Bu slapped each other a few times with his two hands, and said loudly: "Your Highness has come to see you, you are waiting for such an audience, you have to stop if you do something!" ”
"Bongxian!" Riding a horse towards Lu Bu, when he came to his side, Liu Wei waved his hand to him, and then shouted to the guards behind him: "Why don't you help the villagers up?" ”
As soon as Liu Bianyi said that he wanted to help the blind dates up, the guards hurriedly stepped forward, and each supported a villager lying on the ground and helped them up.
Lu Bu and the villagers had a fight, and the villagers thought that those who were knocked down by Lu Bu would definitely die, but they didn't expect that Liu Wei's guards not only did not go on a killing spree, but also helped those people up one by one.
Picking up the villagers who had been knocked down by Lu Bu, the guards helped them pick up the farm tools, handed them to them, patted them lightly on the back, and motioned for them to return to the village.
Carrying farm tools, the group of villagers who had been knocked over by Lu Bu walked over to the women, children and elderly people who were standing a little farther away.
As they walked, they would turn back from time to time to see if the guards had any intention of catching up with them and slashing them.
It wasn't until they returned to the women, children and old people that they saw that Liu Wei did not let the guards catch up with them and slash them, that these sturdy villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
When Liu Wei and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers were already ready to fight hard.
But before they could understand what had happened, the entire village was thrown to the ground by Lu Bu, and suddenly the people in the village lost the courage to fight hard.
"This king is Liu Wei, the king of Qin!" Carrying the reins, Liu Wei rode on horseback, stared at the frightened villagers, and shouted to them: "I learned that the villagers are hostile to our army, and I am puzzled, so I have come to ask the villagers for verification!" ”
Liu Wei directly said that the villagers were hostile to the Qin army, and all the villagers were in a cold war, and no one dared to respond to his questions.
"Has the Qin army plundered the village?" Looking at the villagers, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked them, "Is there a **** woman?" Have you ever killed innocents? ”
After several questions in a row, Liu Wei stunned the villagers one by one.
The people sent by Yuan Shu had told them that Qin Jun had done all these things, but Liu Wei dared to bring it up directly, and he was still full of confidence, which made people wonder if Qin Jun had ever done such a thing.
"Someone told me to wait!" Finally, an older villager mustered up the courage and responded to Liu's defense: "It is said that the Qin army killed people and looted excessively......
"It is also said that where the Qin army passed, the women suffered and the men were killed!" Without waiting for the villager to finish speaking, Liu Wei smiled slightly, interrupted his words, and said to the villagers: "Let this king guess, it is the people sent by Yuan Shu who said this?" ”
When Liu Wei asked this, the villagers were stunned, and they looked at each other one by one, not knowing how to respond.
The person who said these words to them was exactly the same as Liu Wei asked, and it was the person sent by Yuan Shu.
"The Huainan army fought against the Qin army and was repeatedly defeated!" Turning over and jumping off the horse, Liu Wei took two steps closer to the villagers, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and shouted to them: "Yuan Shu begged my Great Qin Iron Army to be unable to gain a foothold in Huainan, and he would maliciously slander him. ”
"Have you ever thought that secretly transporting military rations for the Huainan Army is to be the enemy of the Qin Army!" None of the villagers dared to speak, but Liu Wei continued: "Yuan Shu is like this, it is precisely because he wants you to be the enemy of the Qin army and push you to the forefront. On the one hand, he asked for the food you were waiting for, but on the other hand, he asked you to wait for the Qin army to be killed by the Qin army! ”
When Liu Wei said this, the villagers suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies.
Among the group of people who followed Liu Wei here, there was only one Lu Bu, which was something that their entire village could not deal with, and if Liu Wei really wanted to kill them, I am afraid that there would not be a single living person left in the village today.
Looking at the villagers, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and shouted to them: "Do you know why this king is here?" ”
Hearing his question, all the villagers were stunned, blinking their eyes one by one, not knowing how to respond.
"You are secretly transporting military rations to Shouchun City through the secret passage, do you think that this king doesn't know?" The villagers didn't think of Liu Bian's intention to come here, but Liu Bian said: "Secretly communicate with the Huainan Army, if this king is willing, he can kill you and others at any time!" ”
When he said this, Liu Bian's tone suddenly became cold, and a very old man heard him say this, bent his legs, knelt on the ground, and shouted to him: "Your Highness, it is the villain's idea to deliver military rations to the Huainan Army, Your Highness wants to kill, just kill the villain!" ”
"No one wants to kill this king!" Before the old man could finish his words, Liu Wei interrupted him and said to him and the villagers: "If this king wants to kill people, he will not come here!" ”
"You wait to give food to Yuan Shu, and when you wait until you have no food, who cares about the life and death of the villagers in the village?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Wei said to the villagers: "Before this king led his army south, he had heard that after Yuan Shu became emperor, he was harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people's lives were already very miserable!" Now that he is using you and others to cheat you and others out of their rations, and he wants you to be used as a sharpening stone for the Qin army, how can you be willing to be deceived by him? ”
I had never seen the Qin army commit violence, but I decided to be the enemy of the Qin army from the rumors, and when Liu Wei asked me so much, the villagers were speechless, and they didn't know how to respond.
"Yuan Shu rebelled against the imperial court and proclaimed himself emperor!" Pressing the hilt of the sword, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, and he said to the villagers present: "As a member of the Han royal family, this king wants to take his head!" This king will make it clear to you today, "From this day onwards, you will not have to pay taxes, and the grain you will harvest will be your own income." ”
"But......" Liu Wei had just finished speaking, and a young man hesitated and said to him: "We have no land, and all the fields belong to the nobles in the city!" ”
