Chapter 78, another war
"It's water, it's water!"
In the middle of the night, the cry is particularly sad. There is nothing we can do. At this particularly serious time of flood and drought, the problem of water walking is very serious. If food is burned, it is even more serious. Food is life.
This cry is even more tragic, and it must have been burned.
At first, Zu Zhao thought that the burned grain was just the food of ordinary landlords, so he didn't care. He must have been blocked by Wan Side in the government office. He simply ignored what happened outside and specialized in how to make more powerful explosives.
But I didn't expect that the place where the fire broke out was the granary of the government office!
Wang Xian stumbled to ask for help. In the whole county, there were only 20 trucks of grain and fodder recovered by Zu Zhao, with a total of 20,000 catties of grain and fodder. Ten thousand catties were hidden in the granary of the county government, and the other 10,000 catties were detained by Zu Zhao. Because Zu Zhao really couldn't trust Wan Side's character, he simply kept his own hand. As a result Something really happened.
The grain and fodder under the care of Wan Side were burned.
"It was the yellow scarf thief who sneaked into Lu County. After they burned the grain and grass, they scattered everywhere. Now no one has been caught!"
Zu Zhao rode a horse and broke out with a Youqi. Wan Side's men wanted to stop him. Hou Yong went down with a sword, and a big head had already flown up.
No one dared to say anything about the rest of the soldiers and let Zu Zhao and others leave.
When I arrived at the granary, I found that the flame was very big and the smoke was thick, but the smell was burning with wormwood.
"Open the door and let's go in and have a look!" Zu Zhao roared.
Bum! The huge grain door was completely opened, and there was a fire inside. The burning fire was very strong, and the whole fire had burned the house.
Looking at the fire, Zu Zhao couldn't help frowning.
"What burns is not food, this is grass! Food can't have such a big flame! Moreover, when the grain burns, it has the burnt taste of rice and the unique taste of grain, but it is not here! Someone dropped the grain and burned the granary!
Zu Zhao spoke coldly and then withdrew. He found white rice grains on the street outside the granary, a grain of which were particularly crystal. In this era of famine, even if a grain of rice fell to the ground, it would be picked up, and no one picked up these rice grains. The biggest reason was that he walked in a hurry, so Didn't pick it up! Or I dare not come back to pick it up.
"It was dropped!" Wang Xian also saw the fame from the side.
Food! Food!
Wang Xian's eyes suddenly turned red. Nearly 10,000 people in Lu County pointed to nearly 10,000 catties of food to survive. Unexpectedly, some people dared to transport food late at night and fake a fire. It was really bold and conscienceless!
Where are him and her and the people of the army?
"A big search and arrest in the whole city!"
Zuzuo spoke coldly,
Take people to look in the direction of rice grains.
"You two, I'm late. I hope you don't forgive me!" Wan Side staggered over, still drunk, with an expression on his face that he didn't care about anything. The military food in front of him was burned without frowning. Obviously, he had been in love for a long time.
"Just right, Wan Side, let's see where these rice grains have gone. As long as you follow the rice grains, you can find the thief! My Zu Zhao put his words here. This rice thief is going to starve the whole army to death. My Zu Zhao caught him. It was ten thousand arrows, and I'm sure it won't make him feel better!"
Zu Zhao's murderous intention was revealed. At this time, he really had the intention to cut Wan Side to death.
This guy dares to touch the living food and fodder of the soldiers, really because there are people on it who do all kinds of evil.
"Let me do this matter. Tracking the grain and grass should be a trivial matter. There is no problem leaving it to me!"
Wan Side looked at the rice grains underground and hated those unclean hands and feet and wanted to stop the matter.
Zus Zhao has already seen through this guy in the palm of his hand.
"General Wan Side is not polite. Zu Zhao has been idle in the army these days. You really don't need to investigate such a thing. Naturally, Zu Zhao, will investigate it to the end!"
"It's better to let General Zu Zhao investigate such a thing. General Wan is already drunk, right? The matter of grain and fodder is very serious. We should verify it together. In addition, I have also brought it to the people of the government and county at this moment. We will definitely find the missing grain and fodder and will never let the grain and grass disappear under our eyes!"
Wang Xian also does not give up. That's food and grass, that's life.
How can this Wan Side cheat him once and let him continue to cheat?
"Strong crossbow? Look at him with a strong crossbow and don't let him move!" Zu Zhao looked at Wan Side's eyes turning quickly and knew that this guy would definitely find a way. He forced the guy to jump off the wall and simply caught him directly.
Wan Side's own soldiers came soon, but when they saw Zu Zhao controlling Wan Side, they did not dare to say anything. Everyone looked in the direction of the rice grain. Wan Side's own soldiers next to them reacted relatively quickly and wanted to leave and send people to eliminate the traces of those rice grains. Unfortunately, Zu Zhao had been on guard for a long time and came a few goodbye. Thinking about leaving.
Finally, I found the grain and fodder. In an inn closest to the gate, the people of the inn had already escaped, but now they are empty, but there is a batch of grain and fodder hidden.
And at this time, a group of people came and approached secretly.
Zu Zhao is very suitable to blow out the torch, making Wan Side's people cover their mouths.
This group of people were very cautious and made sure that there were no people around to transport food and grass. They were about to push food and grass outside the city gate, but they didn't expect Zu Zhao to come out with Wang Xian.
Everyone was captured alive.
Zuzuo was surprised to light the torch and see the costumes of these people.
It turned out to be a yellow scarf thief!
At this moment, the yellow scarf thief put a large amount of silver in the inn, but the silver was put down while the grain and grass were taken away.
Everything is very thorough, even there is no guard at the gate.
"Take it down and cut all these people! One will not be left, and the grain will be transported to my account. From today on, I will be in charge of the grain and grass. Who wants to pay attention to the grain and grass again? Hey hey, but I want to try my eight hundred rides! My strong crossbow drinks human blood!"
Zu Zhao has no interest in interrogating these yellow scarf thieves at all. Since he did not directly catch Wan Side's people for the affair with the yellow scarf thief, he directly killed these people. If he continues to be entangled around the grain and grass, it will have an impact on future battles. Either cut the grass and eradicate it, or don't do it.
released Wan Side and his bodyguards. The expression on Wan Side's face was wonderful. He never thought that Zu Zhao would attack him directly and tied him up without killing him.
"This Zu Zhao must know that there is someone on me! Humph, an out-of-town general is a man of luck. Once I return to Jizhou, I will make you look good!"
"Son, why don't you hold those people and hold them back and ask a reason?" Zu Ping was very puzzled beside him. He held the handle in his hand. How could he easily give up like this? You should know that Wan Side is constrained everywhere, making Zu Zhao passive many times, especially this time he actually traded with yellow scarf thieves and traded the most precious grain and fodder in the city.
This is the crime of killing the head in the army.
"Wand Side is a general of Jizhou. Naturally, there are people who will be punished. The most important thing is that we have made a big fight when we first came to Jizhou. We came to Jizhou to fight. It's not worth the loss of intrigue with these people. Moreover, this Wan Side dares to sell grain and grass in the army, which is not small! It is impossible for such a person to be so arrogant without his support. Now the majesty of the Eastern Han royal family is still there. We brave soldiers who stand up can't confront these people and directly destroy the human evidence and physical evidence in order to leave a line as human beings. I really want to see them in the future! I bought not the face of Wan Side, but the face of the backer behind Wan Side. Not to mention a Wan Side, even if it is ten Wan Side, I will kill it. Think twice about everything. You still have a long way to go in the future. Don't be so brainless!"
Z Zhao spoke lightly.
County magistrate Zhang Xian also rushed here. For Zu Zhao to directly eliminate the certification material evidence, it was a little slow. He was a stubborn and righteous master and had the intention to support Zu Zhao, but he did not expect that Zu Zhao would be so cowardly.
It felt like a punch on cotton, giving him the feeling of sitting in white wax.
"Douyou is taking a step back. It's just that if it goes on like this, you are afraid that you will be overwhelmed by this Wan Side everywhere in Jizhou. The brave general can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, but you have to stab the back of the deliberate defense. How can Zu Zhaodu You do such a thing?"
There seemed to be a lot of sighs in Zhang Xian's mouth.
"A Wanside can't have such courage. Wanside is just a pawn. I don't kill Wanside because I and Lord Zhang Xian can get more benefits. Wanside is a fool. He sees something like wine. We are different. We see two things and need to compare them. It has always been picked up. Compared with the characters behind him, Wan Side is undoubtedly a small existence. What we have to do is to step on him to get greater benefits!" Zu Zhao talked about it.
County magistrate Zhang Xian nodded. It is also the way to be an official to do things in the long run, but Zu Zhao has such a far-reaching plan at such a young age that he inevitably loses the spirit of a teenager.
He took people back to the county courtyard and found that Wan Side's people were still stationed 100 meters away from the courtyard. Zu Zhao sneered: "Tell them how far to get out from now on. If they don't know how to lift, let Wan Side think about how to wipe his buttocks..."
Zu Ping came forward and slapped the general stationed here in the face: "My eldest son said how far you can go. If Wan Side doesn't know how to praise, let him consider it by himself!"
The general also seemed to know about Wan Side's incident, hesitated for a moment and evacuated directly with people.
Zu Zhao sneered. This is the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is extremely corrupt and its execution is greatly reduced. No wonder the three countries rise together.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of impact came from the gate, making Lu County, which had been quiet for many days, suddenly become much more noisy.
Zhang Xian's earthy face rushed to Zu Zhao: "The yellow scarf thieves outside the city are attacking the city crazily. They are wearing leather armor and holding big shields to protect those guys carrying logs. They seem to be crazy and attack the city!"
Zu Zhao nodded. He was not crazy. Originally, he wanted to buy food so that he would not be hungry. As a result, the grain is now intercepted by him. If it goes on like this, he will starve to death sooner or later. He will simply attack the city. Anyway, he will die. If he enters the city, he may not die, then he will make money.
Yellow Turban Army, after all, is still for the mud legs of a mouthful of rice. For a mouthful of rice, he can ty his head to his belt and do anything.
Zu Zhao rushed to the wall with eight hundred Youqi. Wan Side's whole face was like a bitter gourd face. Now the yellow scarf thief outside the city saw him as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father and mother and greeted him desperately. There were 15 personal soldiers around him who died under the dark arrow. The yellow scarf thief opposite him now thinks about it. It's a pleasure to kill him.
There is a ladder raised by yellow scarf thieves on the wall. These yellow scarf thieves who climbed up the city gate did not hide at all in the face of the big knife and axe that cut them, but took their big knives on the opposite side and exchanged their lives for their lives, which can be said to have aroused blood. Wan Side has lost their sharpness at the beginning of the battle. His soldiers are not yellow The scarf thief is so crazy.
Zu Zhao looked at the yellow scarf thieves on the opposite side and deeply understood why these yellow scarf thieves were so desperate, because there were families behind them, with wives and children, and even 80 old mothers, all waiting to eat food. Without food, families may starve to death, so they can die with themselves in their arms. But even if you die, you have to get a living ration for your family.
This is a simple concept, but it is also a terrible concept. At this moment, the yellow scarf thief is crazy. The whole war scene has gradually got out of control. Five thousand yellow scarf thieves outside the whole city gate were killed and their eyes red. They died in front of them and rushed up behind them. The bodies were stacked together as stepping stones. The crazy reason is that they had no food.
The whole battlefield scene is you and me, blood soaring in the air, and countless people rushed up and fell down.
"Dovernor, please find a way. If it goes on like this, the whole road county will inevitably be broken!" Zhang Xian looked at the yellow scarf thief below and had a great fear in his heart. The yellow scarf thief did not even hide from the oncoming arrows. He rushed up like a few arrows to stab the officers and soldiers guarding the city. He did not hide from the oncoming knife, but hugged each other and fell from the wall.
At this time, Wan Side also walked to Zu Zhao's eyes. Qi Ai said, "Please help me. I dare not be greedy for the credit of the post!"
Zuzuo sneered, is this also a request for help?
"If you beg me, I'll go!" Zu Zhao smiled playfully, and the small one was very bad.
"Wan Side's request to go to war. Please go to war. I can't stand it!" Wansideqi Ai's words, he has someone on it, but the yellow scarf thief below is no matter what kind of person he has. Once he breaks through the city, it is light to take him with thousands of knives.
Zuzu Zhao looked at the yellow scarf thief below and smiled coldly.
It's all in the face. It's time to appear.
Zhang Xian and Wan Side looked forward to it. At this time, the person who can turn the tide is Zu Zhao. The master with the support of the immortal master, especially the kind of divine punishment, will inevitably kill the demons below.
In front of the crazy yellow scarf thief, it is the legendary dryland thunder that has such an effect.
That kind of divine punishment!
"Remove all your people. I don't want your people to get in the way!" Zu Zhao spoke coldly to Wan Side, and things like gunpowder were still left to those he trusted.
Wan Side nodded respectfully, afraid that once he did not agree at this moment, the divine punishment brought by Zu Zhao would blow up the dry land thunder on his head.
Zu Zhao came to the gate with eight hundred riders. There was an explosive bag hanging on the strong crossbow, and the leads were long, full of wires made of explosives.
Wan Side's people have already retreated and stood on the wall to block the crazy yellow scarf thief. Everyone's face has great confidence, as if in an instant, the opposite yellow scarf thief does not seem to be very scary.
"Because these people will be killed by heaven the next moment!" Wan Side thought fiercely, but suddenly felt so terrible. He used to be against Zu Zhao. Isn't this going to die in the future? Is there anyone on it who can't stop the punishment? For a moment, his face turned white, and it was most effective to scare himself.
The gate was opened squeakly, and the yellow scarf thief who had been carrying the round wood was stunned for such a moment. Why did he open it himself?
However, in front of them is a five-meter-long, three-meter-long crossbow, with arrows made of spears, and there seems to be a burning thing on it, hissing and smoking.
"Kill!"
After the yellow scarf thief reacted, he thought that he could enter the city and have a meal. As long as he survived the disaster in front of him, nothing terrible would happen in the future. The happy days of the old child's hot kang was in front of him.
"Pray!"
Six spears with explosive bags were launched.
The spear passed through the bodies of the three yellow scarf thieves, and after retreating more than a dozen steps in a row, the spear exploded directly, and the ten-meter yellow scarf thieves completely blew up.
The cavalry launched a strong crossbow in an uncoding manner, and everywhere they went was an explosion and cleared. Waves of strong light and explosions sent clusters of yellow scarf thieves to the sky, then split, and then turned into blood rain or meat, which was extremely bloody.
The yellow scarf thief is very crazy and brave. It is easy for ordinary armies to be defeated when they meet them, but that is also called combat, and it is not a battle in front of them, but a one-sided slaughter.
Zu Zhao's horse has moved the strong crossbow forward and walked out of the gate to the open space to fire explosives.
More than ten kilograms of explosive bags fell, and deep holes were blown out, as well as the body of the yellow scarf thief.
"Yellow scarf thief, do you see it? This is a divine punishment! It's a drought and thunderstorm. People like you have angered God and let God punish you!"
Wan Side shouted loudly on the city wall, especially the words of drought and thunder that made him excited. Miracles and miracles, he thought crazily in his heart.
The yellow scarf thief is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of this unknown way of death, especially the drought and thunder. They are punished by God, which makes them feel that their hearts and livers are trembling.
The army is defeated. Some yellow scarf thieves have already fled around, and some yellow scarf thieves even prayed to God, hoping that the Taiping Heavenly Master could go down to the earth and fight against the drought thunderstorms in front of them, because these drought thunderstorms have made them afraid.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. What's the fear of drought and thunder?
The leader of the yellow scarf thief has put on the posture of jumping god. Someone carried an altar up. This is the only weapon to stabilize the army's heart and the sea needle.
Zu Zhao suddenly stopped, and a bad taste rose in his heart.
"Stop, let them jump a few times first, and then let them know whether it is our drought thunder or their peace master?"
Stepping on the seven stars and holding a mahogany sword in his hand, a black-faced Taoist priest read a word in the innermost part. He took out a charm and blew it to the sky. The charm immediately burned himself and immediately brightened the eyes of all the yellow scarf thieves.
Zu Zhao smiled coldly and ordered, "After a while, when he raises the mahogany sword to the sky, you shoot the explosive bag and send their heavenly master to heaven first!"
Zu Ping had a bad smile on his face. Each person had an explosive bag and hung on the strong crossbow. Since the other party also said that he was a heavenly master to the earth, in the name of God, let's distinguish a high and low here.
"Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law. Please come down to the earth, kill demons and evil spirits, and protect my rhubarb people, and be invincible all the way!"
When the magic stick playing the role of Taiping Heavenly Master finally rose **, he pretended to raise his peach wood sword. Countless yellow scarf thieves looked at him with their eyes, and the deception spirit of the magic stick was exerted to the extreme.
Sw, several large explosive bags shot at his feet.
Ah? Taishang Laojun..." He roared, and at this time, he tried to really let Taishang come to save him.
Bum!
People within 30 meters of the whole altar turned into blood rain.
