Chapter 11 Runan City
Runan, ancient Yuzhou, Yuzhou is among Kyushu, and Runan lives in Yuzhou, so it is known as "in the sky". It has been established since the Warring States period and has a history of more than 2,700 years. From Qin and Han to Ming and Qing dynasties, Runan has always been a county, state, military and government office, and is a place of radiation in all directions.
Since ancient times, Runan has had the danger of "negative mountains and Huai, controlling Yingcai", which is a place that soldiers of all generations must fight for. 450 A.D., the battle between Liu Song and Northern Wei that established the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In 817, Li Yuxue entered Caizhou to capture Wu Yuanji alive and ended the rebellion in Fanzhen at the end of the Tang Dynasty. In 1234, the battle of the allied forces of Song and Mongolia to destroy Jin and the battle of Runingfu in 1601, where Li Zicheng broke into the central plains, took place.
It is such a military town, but now the people's livelihood is withered, the economy is depressed, and the city is dilapidated. This is nothing. What makes Li Feng suffer the most is the despair on the faces of the people. If the city is broken, it can be slowly rebuilt, and the economic depression can be slowly supported. Only this person's heart cannot be lost, and the hope of restoring the people is urgent.
Runan's failure put a big stone on the hearts of the four brothers, especially the dead despair in the eyes of the people, which is even more frightening.
Zhang Fei's face turned pale and asked Li Feng in a hoarse voice, "Second brother, what should I do now?"
Although Zhang Fei is the eldest brother of the four, the four are faintly led by Li Feng. Zhang Fei is straightforward and proficient in military tactics, but he is not good at such a brain-consuming thing as a big brother, so Li Feng often makes up his mind.
Li Feng also looked angry and said, "I don't know the yellow scarf, um, what did the yellow scarf army do? Why is it made such a scene here? Li Feng wanted to call the yellow scarf thief, but when he saw Zhou Cang beside him, he changed the "thief" to "army".
Zhou Cang is five or three thick, but in fact, his mind is delicate. This small detail was noticed by him and secretly grateful in his heart; but he was still a little unconvinced and said in a muffled voice, "This definitely has nothing to do with the Yellow Turban Army. Although the great virtuous master is holding the people, he forbade soldiers to harm the people."
Li Feng did not argue with Zhou Cang, but just let Liao Hua explore.
As soon as Liao Hua left, the atmosphere was a little dull. They are all conscientious people. How can they be happy to see the suffering of the people?
Fortunately, this dull atmosphere did not last long, and Liao Hua came back soon.
Liao Hua's face was pale and he didn't say a word. Under the urging of everyone, he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Slay the city three times."
The rest of the people couldn't believe their ears: "What? Slaughter? Three more times?" Even Liao Daniu was shocked.
Liao Hua said word by word, "Yellow scarf twice, once for the bandits around Runan." After saying these words, Liao Hua seemed to be weak and sat on the ground without saying a word.
Zhou Cang couldn't believe it. He grabbed Liaohua's collar and roared, "You're talking nonsense. It can't be done by Huang Turbanjun. The great virtuous teacher won't do this!" Nonsense, you bastard!"
Liao Hua suddenly became angry, like an enraged lion. He punched Zhou Cang in the stomach and roared, "If it hadn't been for your little righteousness, unlike those yellow scarf thieves who slaughtered the city, otherwise I would have cut you with a knife."
Zhou Cang was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Liao Hua. Compared with the pain on his stomach, there is no doubt that the mental injury is more serious. Zhou Cang, an upright man, covered his face and cried. He never dreamed that he would do such a reasonable thing as slaughtering the city.
Others were also quite unbearable when they saw it; they didn't expect that Zhou Cang, who was still fearless of death, could cry like a child.
Li Feng secretly said, "Zhang Jiao, how sins you are!" He looked at Zhou Cang and sighed, "It's a great sin to let such a fierce man who was born and died for you. Zhang Jiao, you deserve to die!"
Liao Hua's anger gradually subsided. He looked at Zhou Cang, who was crying, and suddenly grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
Liao Hua roared at Zhou Cang, "Zhang Jiao is dead, but you are still alive. You must atone for the crime committed by the yellow scarf thief." After saying that, he threw Zhou Cang to the ground fiercely.
Zhang Fei came forward to help Zhou Cang and said to Liao Hua, "Third brother, the words are serious; Yuan Fu doesn't know at all. He can't be blamed." After saying that, he patted off the dirt on Zhou Cang's body and comforted him.
Zhang Fei's words were said in vain, but Zhou Cang didn't listen at all. He just said two words in a depressed way: atonement.
Li Feng selected two clever soldiers from his own soldiers and asked them to find out these things one by one.
Listening to the two sergeants resisting their anger, the four brothers finally figured out the cause.
The yellow scarf thief besieged Runan and forced the defenders to surrender.
This general was a loyal minister who defended Runan and vowed not to surrender.
The general was quite good at defending, and the siege of the city for several consecutive days caused heavy casualties.
How could it be outnumbered? Fifteen days after the siege, Runan City was still broken, and the general committed suicide and died.
In the face of the heavy casualties, the thief will be angry. He not only destroyed the guard, but also slaughtered the city twice in a row, killing a full third of the people of Runan. If it weren't for the coercion of the people and replenishing the soldiers, the thief might have kept the chickens and dogs slaughtered in Runan City.
Later, Zhang Jiao gathered the yellow scarf thieves to fight against the Han army, and the thief would hurriedly lead the team to help the battle.
Unexpectedly, there is still a group of mountain thieves near Runan City. There are usually threats from officers and soldiers, but they dare not kill people indiscriminately. This time, the yellow scarf thief killed the officers and soldiers without leaving any left, giving them a chance. After the Yellow Turban Army left, this group of mountain thieves took the opportunity to attack the city, burn and loot, and made Runan suffer the slaughter for the third time. If it hadn't been for the desperate resistance of the remaining people, I'm afraid that Runan City would have become a desperate area in the world.
After listening to the narration, Li Feng sighed, "No wonder the people in Runan City are desperate. They slaughter the city three times..." When he was thinking about it, Zhang Fei shouted angrily, "Second brother, third brother and fourth brother, send troops out of the city, and I want to kill the mountain thieves alive."
Zhang Fei's nature is like a fire, and he can't tolerate such heinous things. Since the yellow scarf thief has perished, the account will naturally fall on the head of the mountain thieves.
Li Feng, Liao Hua and Liao Daniel responded and was ready to send troops.
Suddenly, Zhou Cang, who had been losing his soul, rushed over and grabbed Zhang Fei desperately. His eyes were red and his eyes were cracked, but he was like a hellish ghost. Even Zhang Fei looked at it with a chill in his heart.
Zhou Cang stopped the three brothers and gasped and said, "Your excellency, let Zhou Cang go to suppress the bandits this time; Zhou Cang should use the blood of the mountain thieves to atone for himself..." After saying that, Zhou Cang
Looking straight at Zhang Fei, the madness in his eyes was like a burning flame.
Zhang Fei had the intention to let Zhou Cang lead the army, but he was afraid that Zhou Cang would be overwhelmed by anger; but for a moment, he was in a dilemma and only looked good at Li Feng.
Li Summit said to Zhou Cang, "Yuanfu is furious. How can he calmly lead the army? I think it's better to let the eldest brother go."
Hearing this, Zhou Cang was in a hurry and knelt down on the ground, sobbed, and said, "If you can't kill all the mountain thieves with your own hands, how can Zhou Cang live in the world? Please give me a death." With that, tears welled out.
Li Feng was shocked, and the tears were sad and red, which turned out to be blood color; Zhou Cangmeng's life and death ambition, if he didn't let him go, he was afraid that there would be one less hero in the world.
For a while, Li Feng was also in a dilemma with a big head.
For a long time, Li Feng finally said, "Since Yuan Fu insisted on going, I won't stop him."
After a pause, he said, "But Yuanfu must ensure that he will not be angry and must not make fun of the life of the sergeant; do you understand, Yuan Fu?" Li Feng's voice was fierce, especially the last sentence, which almost roared out.
Zhou Cang nodded repeatedly, held a big knife, and turned to summon his subordinates.
Maybe Li Feng's words worked. Although Zhou Cang was furious, he did not act recklessly. Instead of ordering the soldiers to leave immediately, he let the soldiers have a good rest and ordered the scouts to inquire about the news.
The next day, Zhou Cang still did not lead the army to go on an expedition. Instead, he posted a list of articles at the gate of the city, with bloody words: "Thieves and bandits are rampant, burning, killing and looting, slaughtering me in Runan, and bones are everywhere; such acts are indignant! Zhou Cang wants to lead troops to suppress bandits. There are deep enemies in the sea of blood. He quickly went to the barracks outside the city and paid for his blood. He vowed not to give up!"
The people in Runan City are all immersed in grief, dead and desperate. Zhou Cang's list undoubtedly stirred up a thousand waves. For a while, Runan was in chaos, and almost all the people who were still alive, from 80 old men to seven-year-old children, gathered outside the city. Zhou Cang was not talky. He chose his young man, organized it into a battalion, and then sent troops to suppress bandits.
Who knows that the people in Runan who were not selected refused to disperse; the deep hatred of the sea of blood drove them to follow the army far away, and Zhou Cang persuaded them to return to the city several times to no result, so he had to let them do so.
An old man stopped Zhou Cang and shouted to join the army. Zhou Cang patiently persuaded him, but the old man just didn't listen and shouted that he wanted to join the army.
Zhou Cang had no choice but to say, "Uncle is old and weak, how can he beat the mountain thief? Even if you go, it's just a drag."
But the old man said, "Does the general know where the mountain thieves are now? How many people are there?
Zhou Cang replied, "According to the scouts, the mountain thieves are in the Black Snake Mountain in the south, with about 700 people."
The old man said again, "Do you know how the Black Snake Mountain is?"
Zhou Cang frowned and said, "I have checked that the Black Snake Mountain is dangerous, and it can only pass from a mountain road in the east, which is extremely easy to defend and attack. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to summon Qingzhuang and lead the army directly to kill.
The old man asked for the third time, "The general knows that there is still a secret path on the west side of the Black Snake Mountain."
"What," Zhou Cang was overjoyed and hurriedly invited his father-in-law into the barracks and asked in detail.
