Chapter 110
By late February, the rivers were frozen and the earth revived, and the wind at night was no longer harsh and chill. Even the long-lost insect chirping tried to sing in unknown places.
In Ruzha Valley, a simple man was holding a lantern with a expressionless face, walking slowly in a tent, and shouting from time to time: "The officials who come to vote for the enemy have urgent instructions, and they all get up and go to the official hall there to gather!"
While walking, he shouted loudly after walking for 10 or 20 steps, and added a few words: "Spring is approaching, and farming is not allowed to wait!"
A man dressed in a bald hair and dressed in Dangxiang lifted the curtain of a tent, and walked out with a smile while tying his clothes. The person who came out next to him saw it and whispered: "It's such a blessing to beg for you! The village woman who gave you was only about thirty years old, and her eyebrows were all right. She has enjoyed enough these days!"
Neng'er smiled and said, "This is a fate that everyone is born. So what can you do if you have a hot eye? Besides, no matter what it looks like, there is no light in the tent, so it is not the same if you hold it together!"
The other person on one side said sinisterly: "Can that be the same? Yours always touches and slips your hands!"
Seeing Neng'er begging for burying, the man said again: "After waiting for the two of you, we will sleep for a few days, so we will be good brothers!"
Neng'er begged and buried, saying, "What are you talking about? If the Song people see through it, we will cause a big disaster!"
"What are you seeing through? These Song people can't even remember our names, so how can they know which two people are sleeping in the same tent!"
Seeing the simple man holding the lantern slowly approaching, another person said, "Don't say it, don't say it anymore, don't be heard in the ears! He felt suspicious in his heart, and once he reported it to the upper hand, we will reveal our details!"
The man took the lantern and went to the vicinity of several people. He looked up at them, looked at them with a expressionless face and continued to move forward.
Neng'er begged and buried, "What can he see if this man is like a wood? Don't worry about him! But late at night, I'm afraid I'll have to divide the land. Let's go early and choose a place that will be taken nearby so as not to run around."
The other two men said goodbye and walked towards the official hall not far away at the intersection. There was a place where the officials who managed their affairs. Just as they were about to rush, they watched the tents of the foreign people who came to invest.
When all the men in the tent gathered in the official hall, countless torches suddenly lit up beside the tent, and a group of soldiers surrounded the place with swords and guns. The soldiers opened the curtains next to each tent and shouted: "There are a large number of thieves outside the city ahead. Get up quickly and avoid disaster with us. Who hesitated and slashed with one knife!"
A woman rushed out in a tent in disheveled clothes and whispered loudly: "It's better for the thieves to attack, and we can help defend the city, why do we have to move to other places? We have been used to suffering since childhood, and we can always move and transport!"
A little officer next to him glanced at the woman, without saying a word, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, slashed her neck, and kicked the body aside. He slowly retracted his waist knife, and the little officer said in a deep voice: "The war is urgent, everything is obeying military orders, who dares to talk nonsense anymore, this is a role model! Everyone follows the instructions and follow us!"
The women around were shocked. Unexpectedly, the soldiers who came came would kill people at any disagreement, without any delay. At this time, they were surrounded by the Song army. Although these people were strong, they were women after all. How could they deal with the fully armed imperial guards? They had to follow the other direction obediently.
In the mixed places of the Fan Qiang in Lanzhou, Yuan Hao asked his soldiers to join Yuzhong under the name of some small ban tribes. In order not to make the Song people suspicious, he also asked the surrounding women of Dangxiang City Village to pretend to be husband and wife. When the number of people was enough, the Song people relaxed and unexpectedly captured the city guarding the Yuzhong Valley from behind. In addition to the regular soldiers, there were also negative men who were traitors. Under the negative men, there were also village women, who were actually female soldiers of Dangxiang, who were doing some traitors in the city. Dangxiang occupied only one million people and even fewer core areas. Hundreds of thousands of troops were burst out, and even strong women could be included in the army.
Xu Ping has decided to take the initiative to attack Zhuo Luo and Nan Yuanhao. These Dangxiang people who were accepted in Ruzha Valley were originally used as bait to lure Dangxiang to send troops to Lanzhou, but now it is useless. Of course, they must be dealt with before sending troops.
Nengerqimang and others gathered in front of the official hall, and saw countless torches erected on Guangcheng, illuminating like daytime. The shadows around were slim, as if there were many people, and a cold light flashed from time to time. The hall was empty and there was no shadow under the fire.
He stretched his head and looked around and saw that there were only those who were the Dangxiang people who were pretending to surrender in the square, and none of them were Song people. Neng'er begged to bury the people around him and whispered to the people around him: "No, why are there only ours? Look at the dark shadow next to him, it shouldn't be."
The people around him were already panicked, forcibly calmed their minds, and whispered: "Don't scare yourself! In the middle of the night, the Song people naturally went to bed early. Even if there was an urgent matter, only the officials came to come and give instructions. There was no ambush in the dark shadow."
At this moment, a battalion commander led two personal soldiers out of the official hall, stood under the light of the torch in front of the hall, and whispered loudly: "Are there any of you surnames in Po Chou? It's not that the surname you changed, but the surnames you originally had in Dangxiang!"
Hearing this, Neng'er begging for burial like a bolt from the blue and screamed: "What did the Taiwei say? What is Dangxiang's surname?!"
The commander sternly said: "You were originally a thief of Dangxiang, and you were a nearby foreign tribe to cheat the city. Now the incident happened! The general's mansion was kind-hearted and spared your lives. They all sent to the southern prefectures to transport grain! You dare to make trouble and kill them on the spot!"
After saying that, with a wave of his arms, he heard the rumbling footsteps. Hundreds of crossbowmen walked up from the shadows, and pointed the crossbow in his hand at the hundreds of Dangxiang people under the torch. Under the torch, the tip of the crossbow was shining with a dark cold light.
The field suddenly became quiet, and the cold insects in the grass beside it roared together, and it seemed that there was only the sound of insects left in the world.
In this deadly silence, a thin man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, rushed towards the commander, waved his hand, and shouted: "Taiwei, we are the Fan tribe, not the Dangxiang thief! We cannot be wronged!"
A tall personal soldier beside the commander shouted: "Diet to the point of death, you still dare to do something wrong!"
After saying that, he strode forward, waved his big fist and punched the person in the chest. He knocked the man to the ground, raised his legs and stepped on him, and said, "Let's see how brave you are, you dare to come and command!" He pulled out the steel knife from his waist and stabbed it into his heart with one knife.
Looking at the blood splashing in front of him, it was particularly strange under the torches, the recruit was like a ferocious spirit. None of the hundreds of Dangxiang people in the square dared to move, and even the sound of the breath seemed to be unable to hear it.
The commander looked at the Dangxiang people in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I will ask again, are there any people among you with the surname Po Chou? If you know the information and do not report it, you will find out later that the whole team will be punished the same crime!"
In the crowd, a sinister voice said, "Dare you ask the Taiwei, why do you want to ask someone with the surname Po Chou?"
"Cao Dugu's Army Order, Po Chou met Gui and the thief Jiqian lured and killed the Dugu's Marshal Cao Taiwei in Jialuchuan, and all the Po Chou clans were killed! No one else involved, you will be safe and just go to the southern prefectures to transport grain. If you know the information, you will be killed in the same team and the same armor!"
As the words fell, there was a dead silence.
The commander's eyes kept scanning the people in front of him. After a while, he saw that no one stood up. He thought there was no one in front of him. Po Chou was the Dangxiang clan. These foreign soldiers who came to pretend to surrender may have a low status, so it is normal that they did not have one.
Just as he was about to instruct the soldiers to come forward to obstruct the people, Neng'erqimian suddenly pointed at the people beside him and said loudly: "Taiwei, this sarcastic person is the surname Pochou! If he doesn't come out by himself, it's not implicating us!"
Po Chou Chongjin turned to look at Neng'erqie, unable to believe his eyes: "How could you betray me? How dare you betray me!"
Neng'erqian shook his head: "You said I am so lucky, I can't be implicated by you and lose my life!"
The commander looked at the few people, sneered repeatedly, and said loudly: "You team, come out!"
Neng'er begged for burying, breaking the Chou Chongjin and the people around him slowly walked out of the crowd and came under the light of the torch in front of him.
The commander reached out and said in a deep voice: "Wine!"
The personal soldiers poured a bowl of strong wine from the door of the official hall behind them and handed it to the commander. The commander took out a ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to another personal soldiers. He pointed at Neng'er and buried it and said, "Reward it to him!"
Neng'erqian took the wine handed over by his personal soldiers, but did not dare to drink it, and looked at the commander.
The commander said: "After you arrive at the southern state army, you will be the leader of your group of people. Their lives and deaths are all in your hands. Don't be afraid that someone will deal with you! You will be rewarded with this silver ingot. If you go there, you will get married and start a business, you will not be as tired as they do!"
Neng'er hesitated for a while before saying, "The Grand Marshal valued it so much. It would be great if he gave me the village woman who was in the same tent with me. Although we are fake couples, we live happily together."
"Yes! I will have someone send the village woman to you tomorrow." The commander waved his hand, "You retreat to the side first!"
Neng'erqimeng slowly retreated, leaving a distance of 10 or 20 steps with the person in his team, holding Xiaoyin in his hand and watching nervously.
The commander signaled the personal soldiers around him to take the people forward to take the remaining seven people, and said in a deep voice: "I keep my word. If the Chou tribe wants to be killed, I will definitely kill them. Those who know that they will not report the same crime, and your heads will be taken together. They will be chopped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who were holding Po Chou Chongjin's team took off their swords and cut them over in front of everyone.
Xu Ping would not be so confused with Fan Yong and Li Shibin. If you have any doubts in your heart, you should find out clearly. Li Zhang's clever secrets had already found out the details of these Dangxiang people who had deceived surrender and were still slow. It was just that Xu Ping was lucky enough to let the Dangxiang army cross the Yellow River. Now that the army is about to come out, of course, they will first kill those who should be killed and move them, and will not let them be in Ruzha Valley again.
