Chapter 101 The master is here
The rolling river was bloody and scarlet, mixed with a smell of corpses. In a blink of an eye, it attracted the people on the shore and the fishermen living on the shore. Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi just looked at each other and silently retreated to look at the reaction of the fishing villager.
With the red river, soon, a decaying body also floated down from the upstream. Among the floating bodies, there were not only those soldiers in armor, but also many innocent civilians who did not know what they had done. Some of their hands and feet were cut off, and some directly had different heads. The mutilated bodies and scattered limbs are like wandering aimlessly in the water, looking terrible.
The villagers immediately talked about it, and some people on the periphery had quickly dispersed, ready to find someone to take a closer look.
Zhang lame walked in the front: "Grandma, what's going on? The water is like this. I'm afraid there will be no fish for three or four months."
The old village head glanced at Zhang Limp and said, "You only care about your fish, but don't think about what's wrong upstream. If it's really as the cold general said, the upstream is the barracks of the Third Prince, then it is also necessary for me to gather the village chiefs of the surrounding villages and the Third Prince to talk with the Third Prince. Let's talk about it."
"Is it useful?" Leng Changxi poured a bucket of cold water without mercy. If he was really afraid, how could he throw the body in the water so blatantly, and there were so many innocent civilian corpses among them.
The old village head frowned and said nothing, and the comments around him came like a tide. The so-called words are terrible, and this matter can't stand any delay.
Just when the old village head was sad, but it was difficult to make up his mind, a villager in thatched shoes ran from the entrance of the village several times in a row and ran directly from the hillside to the village head.
"Village head, it's not good. The head of the village sent people to recruit, saying that all the strong men aged 16 to 40 in the village must be recruited."
Must? This is conscription, which is obviously forcing people to submit.
Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi looked at each other. Qin Yunuan took the initiative to ask, "Where was the conscription sent?"
The little man who reported the news shook his head, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said, "Who else can there be? The barracks on the other side of Xixia will not believe our people in Daqi. They will not come to our Daqi territory to recruit, right? Isn't there only the barracks on the third prince's side?
The person who reported the news did not know the identity of Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, and said it without scruples, while the old village head just nodded and then asked, "How long is the deadline?"
The young man who reported the news turned his head: "Within three days." Well, he sighed earnestly: "uncle, I see that the third prince is coming this time, and I'm afraid he can't escape the disaster. I heard that one village in the previous villages was unwilling to hand over the strong man because of stubborn resistance. The whole village was slaughtered, and the body was directly dismembered and thrown into the Sui River. There was not even a grave, just upstream. Those who have been in the silk business with our village.
As he spoke, the young man looked towards the river. After seeing the red river and the body, he suddenly felt disgusted and inexplicably wanted to vent something.
So, the bodies of these civilians are the end of those who do not want to join the army.
This is almost a shock, and everyone can't help but feel a little scared. Si Ma Rui can do everything now.
Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan looked at the reaction of the crowd and didn't say anything. They arched their hands to the village head and said, "Today, Jiannei and I just came here to explore the terrain. After all, Xixia soldiers can't water. We just hope to find the narrowest place in the Sui River to help us cross the Sui River and fight against Sima Rui's reputation. It's an accident that the emperor's rebel party under house arrest has now been offended." After saying that, Leng Changxi looked at the body full of the river with a painful heart. "As for the next thing, Leng can only express regret. There is still something else in the barracks. Leng said goodbye first."
Leng Changxi led Qin Yunuan to leave silently. On the way, he couldn't help comforting an old woman who had just learned that her only grandson was going to be conscripted. The old village head looked at Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan's every move and couldn't help moving.
Out of the fishing village, Leng Wu had prepared a carriage and a hand-warming incense burner outside. Leng Wu looked at the movement in the distance and asked more, "Black Hawks finally took the risk to blow up the dead in Sima Rui's camp. Why didn't the general take the opportunity to encourage the fishermen to rebel and obey us? What else do you want to get a fake conscription order? If these fishermen take it seriously and really go to Sima Rui's barracks to report three days later, won't we fail?
Leng Changxi got into the carriage without saying a word, with only a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and took Qin Yunuan to the carriage. When Leng Wu took the handlebar-style seat and began to drive the car, Leng Changxi handed the hot incense burner to Qin Yunuan's hand and said slowly, "If I convince them now, I It's just a group of fishermen with fear and awe. If they think slowly for three days, plus the plan after that, what I get will be a group of transport fleets willing to work for me and know how to distinguish right from wrong. These two concepts are completely different.
The so-called military must first gain benefits. At the same time, it is very important to recover people's hearts. Leng Changxi now knows how to be measured.
At the same time, Sima Rui built a camp near the river.
Several soldiers came to report that the explosion gap in the dead pit was too big to be blocked for a while. I'm afraid that many bodies would flow out with the water.
Another person came to report that he had captured a Xixia soldier who came to attack alive, but he refused to say anything and had bit his tongue to suicide.
"Get out of here, useless things." Every time Sima Rui loses his temper, he will kick people's hearts. His move has made many people afraid. "What do you say to catch people alive when they die? Useless wastes are useless wastes. Why don't you check it for me? This time, Leng Changxi's action is strange. He ran over to blow up people's pits when he has nothing to do? And the bodies After all of them flow downstream, they are bound to be seen by those flat-headed people. The last conscription has been noisy for a while. If they are disturbed by those ignorant fishermen again, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay around the river.
Sima Rui said, and suddenly paused, seemingly talking to himself, "So, is this what Leng Changxi's purpose is?"
Just before others could react, Sima Rui had pulled the collar of a communication soldier beside him and asked, "When will Yu Haitang arrive?"
"The last general..."
Didn't he say that he left Kyoto half a month ago? Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Sima Rui punched himself on the case and made a muffled sound.
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside, with the screams of some small beasts, like apes crying.
Sima Rui was surprised. Suddenly, a whole body was black, with only two pinch of white hair on his cheeks. The tail was a black and white monkey jumping into the room. The little monkey was still a monkey cub, curled up as small as an adult's fist and a half, but his posture was extremely agile and could be recognized by a glance. This is A young lion-faced monkey.
Sima Rui stared at the monkey climbing back and forth in his study. He recognized the little monkey. He was Yu Haitang's favorite, and no one else dared to bully the little monkey at will, because Yu Haitang was very old and it was inconvenient for him to do many things. He relied on this little monkey to help him. He was Yu Haitang. The big red man in front of him.
However, this good news shows that Yu Haitang has arrived.
Sure enough, a voice immediately came from outside, saying that Yu Haitang had arrived in front of the camp. Looking at the open camp door, he did not come in. He just sat proudly in a wheelchair and did not allow his followers to advance the camp. I don't know what it meant.
What else can this be interesting? Didn't Sima Rui frown and wait for him to come in?
I have to admit that Yu Haitang is very good at governing the country and health, and he is also a well-known person. Unlike Qiu Murong, Xu Ji or Bai Liai before, for them, Sima Rui is the boss. They are subordinates or Qianli horses known by Sima Ruihui, and for Yu Haitang, Si Ma Rui is just one of his pawns.
However, while Sima Rui and Yu Haitang cooperated, Sima Rui was fighting with Yu Haitang to prevent himself from being used by him. Instead, he wanted to use Yu Haitang.
In Leng Changxi's view, such a cooperative relationship is destined to be short-lasting. The moment Sima Rui walked to the front of the camp and saw Yu Haitang's face condensed at the moment, it proved that Leng Changxi's words were reasonable.
"Sooner or later, I will get rid of this old man's control." Sima Rui made a poisonous oath in front of the camp, and then took out an extremely respectful look and arched his hand to Yu Haitang.
Yuhaitang already looks like a crane-haired chicken skin, but compared with Bai Liai, which also appeared in the image of the old man's bent, he seemed to be more like a fairy bone, and suddenly there was a spirit of Lingyue between his eyebrows. Although his feet could no longer walk, a self-made wheelchair came and went freely, and Yu Haitang was still clear. With bright eyes and a greeting, the little monkey immediately ran over and nestled peacefully in his arms.
In addition to Sima Rui, there were also Bai Liai who came to welcome Yu Haitang. He had just changed the plaster for Xu Ji, who had been paralyzed, and hurried over.
"Mr. Yu." Noticing that Yu Haitang's eyes fell on him, Bai Liai also saluted Yu Haitang very humbly.
Yu Haitang just glanced at him and said coldly, "It's really a good way to use the knowledge of pharmacologically to delay the spread of toxins accumulated in your body, but a person under 30 looks like an old man in his 90s. Are you willing? "
