The long cavalry marched along a narrow path with millet planted on both sides. The long millet pole swayed in the wind, and the valley waves were still as beautiful as Liu Wei had seen earlier. Although the ears of grain that were drawn out were not yet ripe, they were already heavy, and the poles were bent and bent, and it could be seen from the ears of grain hanging on the poles that it would be a good harvest on the day of harvest.

But looking at these grains, Liu Wei's mood did not have the joy of an imminent harvest anyway, but was heavy and very depressed.

He had just left the village of the young couple who had been intercepted, and the young couple had not lied, and the village had indeed just been plundered.

The women of the village, except for the woman of the young couple who had escaped, were all trampled by the soldiers. Those rebellious soldiers were probably panicked, and even the old women in their forties and fifties did not escape the fate of being insulted by them.

Several men in the village tried to reason with the rebels as they entered the village, but they were killed on the spot. What is even more odious is that those rebellious soldiers actually planted their evil deeds on Liu Wei under the banner of the king of Luoyang, and informed the villagers that it was Liu Wei who gave the order, and the county government ordered them to go to the people to collect money and goods, and anyone who did not pay the money would be killed.

"Your Highness!" Leading the procession, as he was rushing to the next village, a fast horse appeared in front of him, and before the horseman on horseback could get closer, he shouted: "I will find out when we find out, and there is indeed an army wearing our armor nearby!" ”

When Liu Wei approached, the scout turned over and jumped off the war horse, clasped his hands into fists, half-knelt on the ground, looked up at Liu Wei and said, "There are about 100 of them, and they have not yet found out where they came from!" However, we found that their military discipline is loose and not like the main force of our army! Everywhere they went, villages were looted! ”

"I'm afraid that the partial battalion doesn't have such loose military discipline!" Thinking of the chaotic women and the plagued villages, Liu Wei clenched his fists tightly and said to the scout: "Explore! Be sure to find out what they're doing! Report to the king at any time! ”

"No!" The scout answered, stood up and ran back to his horse, turned over on his horse, put his legs on the horse's belly, and rode his horse into the distance.

Looking at the back of the scout, Liu Biantie's face was blue, the muscles of his face were also twitching violently, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were clenched with a "quack".

"Your Highness!" Seeing that Liu Wei was unable to suppress his anger, Guan Qing on the side whispered to him: "Maybe it's just some thieves pretending to be our army......"

"If so, it's even more abominable!" Clenching his fists tightly, Liu Wei said coldly: "In the Hongnong area, the officials don't know what they are doing!" The Xiongnu appeared at the foot of Taihua Mountain, and they actually asked the villagers to spontaneously organize a group to fight against the Huns. And here is about to reach Yin, Henan, and not long further on, it is Luoyang. At the foot of Luoyang, such a thing happened, how could it not make this king angry? ”

"If you sit on the charge, you will not be pardoned!" The muscles of his face twitched violently, and Liu Wei clamped his legs towards the horse's abdomen, and galloped forward quickly.

After entering two villages in a row, most of the villagers ran home in panic when they saw Liu Wei's team, and the few who were already desperate did not run, but just closed their eyes and waited for the impending doom.

The villagers of the two villages were completely desperate for the King of Luoyang, and the soldiers who followed Liu Wei to these two villages spent countless salivas, and when the villagers listened to them, they were all blank, and no one responded at all.

Looking at the villagers with endless indifference and despair in their expressions, Liu Wei only felt the pain at the tip of his heart as if he had been stabbed.

When he entered the third village, he finally became completely desperate, and he no longer asked the soldiers to give any explanation to the villagers, but ordered the army to be stationed at the entrance of the village, waiting for the scouts to report back on the movement of the team. Liu Wei already had a plan in his heart, and when he captured the group of rebels, he would use the facts to talk to the villagers. All explanations are not more practical than actions!

As night fell, the villagers were as numb as walking corpses after a sack, and the village was already very quiet during the day, and even more so at night that people felt breathless, except for the occasional woman's cry or two.

However, the woman's howling did not last long, presumably frightened by the words of the men of their family who said that the army was outside the village.

Liu Wei did not enter the village to live, he ordered the officers and soldiers to set up tents at the entrance of the village, and stationed them on the spot, just waiting for the scouts to send back the news, and use the heads of those chaotic soldiers to restore his lost reputation.

In the main tent, two white candles were lit on the candlestick, and a trace of wind penetrated into the tent through the curtain, shaking the flames on the two white candles.

The flames flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the light in the tent flickered brightly and darkly. Liu Wei sat in the tent, and Guan Qing also knelt opposite him all the time to accompany him.

Ever since it got dark, Liu Wei had been sitting behind the low table frowning and not saying a word. Looking at Liu Wei's tightly knit brows and the murderous aura faintly revealed between his eyebrows, Guan Qing opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything.

has been following Liu Wei for a long time, and Guan Qing already knows him very well. Liu Wei paid attention to military training, and also paid attention to people's livelihood. The last thing he wanted was for the people to despair of his army. He had always been committed to building an army that could be enjoyed by the common people, and it was for this reason that he adopted a relatively liberal marriage policy in the army, allowing ordinary soldiers to marry local women.

At first, the Luoyang army, like the army of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, raised some criminal women in the barracks to let the officers and soldiers vent their lust.

Later, Liu Wei thought that this practice was contrary to human morality, so he abolished this system and established a family camp for officers and soldiers on the side of the barracks, not only officers, but even ordinary soldiers as long as they got married, they could receive houses in the family camp, and in addition to training and going on expeditions, they could live a normal family life.

Doing this, Liu Weiwei is that in the future, in the war, the Luoyang Army will not catch fire in the backyard and will be in an undefeated situation for a long time.

He never thought that controlling the lusts of the low-ranking soldiers would bring any benefit to the battle. On the contrary, when the officers and soldiers have concern in their hearts, they will serve and fight on the battlefield for the sake of their relatives to live better and not be bullied by others!

The group of people who robbed the village and harmed the people, wearing the clothes and armor of the Luoyang Army, completely destroyed everything that Liu Wei had painstakingly managed in just a few days.

"Your Highness ......" Finally, Guan Qing still couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, looked at Liu Wei, and whispered to him with some trepidation: "When you eat at night, Your Highness just didn't eat a mouthful of food, how about Qing'er prepare some meals for Your Highness?" ”

Kneeling behind the low table, Liu Wei furrowed his brows and waved his hand at Guan Qing, still without saying a word.

Although he didn't speak, Guan Qing knew that the harassment of many villages by rebellious soldiers was definitely more important in Liu Wei's heart than the attack on Zheng County. Killing the Huns, although Liu Wei was furious at that time, he was not as angry as he is now, he was so angry that he didn't eat, and he didn't even want to say a word.

"Stop!" Just when Guan Qing was looking at Liu Wei with great concern, a shout suddenly came from outside the tent, and then a rush of footsteps sounded in the barracks.

Liu Wei, who was frowning, heard the shout, raised his eyes and looked at Guan Qing for a moment, stood up suddenly, and jumped out of the tent.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Liu Wei saw a group of soldiers running towards the corner of the dark barracks, and he hurriedly stopped a soldier running behind the tent and asked the soldier, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"Your Highness, someone intends to set fire to the barracks!" Hearing Liu Bian's question, the soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down to Liu Bian: "He was discovered by his brothers, and his brothers are searching for him!" ”

"Tell the soldiers, catch this man, don't beat and scold, let alone kill, take him to the king's tent, and the king has something to ask him!" Knowing that someone was setting fire to the barracks, Liu Wei first turned his head to look at Guan Qing who was following behind him, and then waved his hand to the soldier and gave an order.

The soldier clenched his fists in response, turned around and ran into the darkness where the crowd had swung.

Standing outside the tent, looking at the direction in which the soldiers were running, Liu Wei's brows tightened.

There are warriors everywhere in the world, and if it is caused by that group of people in the township, I am afraid that it will not be long before someone sneaks into Luoyang and takes the head of him, the king of Luoyang.

"Your Highness......" stood behind Liu Wei, looking at his back, Guan Qing called him softly.

"Don't say anything!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to say anything, Liu Wei raised an arm, stopped her, and said to her: "The road is uneven, and someone shovels it!" There has never been a shortage of warriors in this world, and those in high positions will not let the people live, and there will be such people. Although most of them can't succeed, once they get together, I'm afraid that the position of this king, the king of Luoyang, will not be stable. ”

Throwing down such a sentence, Liu Wei turned around and entered the camp tent, until the curtain he lifted hung down, and Guan Qing was still standing outside the tent, reminiscing about what he had just said.

"Let's go!" Standing outside the tent curtain for a while, Guan Qing was about to open the curtain and follow Liu Wei into the main tent, a group of soldiers escorted a young man with a hemp rope tied to his body and walked towards the main tent, and a soldier walking behind the young man pushed the young man's back, shouted to him, and urged him to go faster.

The young man was pushed on the back, turned his head to glare at the soldier with angry eyes, and reluctantly walked towards the main tent.

"Your Highness, the people are here!" Seeing a group of soldiers pushing the young man towards the tent, Guan Qing lifted the curtain and whispered to Liu Wei, who was sitting behind the low table, "It's a young man who was caught......

Waving his hand to stop Guan Qing from continuing, Liu Wei raised his head to look at her and said to her, "Let the soldiers disperse, you go and bring him into the tent." ”

"No!" Guan Qing responded with a fist clenched, and came out of the handsome tent again.

By the time she walked out of the tent, the group of soldiers had already escorted the young man closer.

"Your Highness has an order, all the soldiers are dispersed, and General Ben leads him into the tent!" Standing at the tent curtain, raising his hand to stop the footsteps of the officers and soldiers, Guan Qing walked to the young man's side, glared at him, and said to him in a cold voice: "Your Highness is waiting for you in the tent, come with General Ben!" ”

When a group of Luoyang soldiers who were escorting young people heard that Liu Wei wanted them to disperse, they all looked embarrassed. It took a lot of effort to arrest this young man, and if there were fewer people and he escaped, the officers and soldiers were really worried about Liu Wei's safety.

"What?" Escorting the young man to the tent, seeing that the officers and soldiers still did not disperse, Guan Qing stopped, turned back to them and asked: "With General Ben here, why can't you let go?" Could it be that you can't believe General Ben? ”

As soon as Guan Qing asked, the soldiers clenched their fists and bowed, and they didn't even dare to say that they retreated.

Escorting the young man into the handsome tent, Guan Qing clenched his fists and bowed, and was about to report to Liu Bian, when Liu Bian waved his hand at her and signaled her not to speak.

Seeing Liu Wei waving his hand, Guan Qing put down his hands and stepped aside to stand aside.

Leaning into the dim candlelight in the tent, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at the young man who had entered the tent and was only four or five steps away from him.

This person looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face still had a childish spirit that had not yet faded. was stared at by Liu Wei, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he turned his face to the side and snorted coldly.

"What's your name? Why are there fires in the barracks? After staring at the young man for a long time, Liu Wei pressed his hands on the table and asked the young man in an extremely indifferent tone.
