sheepskin for melon

Zhou Hongtu went to jail, Liu Qiaolan took the money and ran away, and the Zhou family was completely ruined all at once.

The mother and son of the Zhou family will stay abroad forever. As long as they dare to return to China, they will face prison and huge debts.

Liu Qiaolan can still be that high-ranking lady, Zhou Peng can still live innocently, and Zhou Kun is so motivated, and he will definitely be able to use that money to make a jaw-dropping career abroad. glorious future.

However, Chi Li has lost the patience to continue to pay attention to them. It seems that since some time, he will no longer suffer from the memory of Zhou's house, and he will no longer have that nightmare at night. He is just a little lonely now.

Under the moonlight, the cold long blade flashed a cold arc. This is the knife that Tan Yushu has been thinking about, but it has been completely confiscated by Chi Li, and Tan Yushu has no idea where it is hidden.

Chi Li's fingertips flicked lightly on the blade, and the cold metal gave out a crisp buzzing sound.

The chip technology is jointly owned by Chili and Chuangke. After Chili got it out, he did not intervene again.

Even so, the huge profits generated by the chip are enough to put him on the wealth list. With this huge amount of wealth, his "World Tree" is closer to the time when it will be completed. It won't be long before he wants to have his own The dream of a scientific research base can become a reality.

Swinging the knife suddenly, the cold blade drew a cold arc under the moonlight.

Chi Li pulled out his knife and cut himself a watermelon.

Although the Chi family no longer has to worry about life, Father Chi still grows watermelons every summer.

Of course, planting for life and planting for interest still feel different.

Chi Li looked at the melon that was neatly broken in half, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Tan Yushu's knife is quite fast.

He gnawed on the melon expressionlessly, luckily, the one that opened was just ripe, red and sweet.

While eating melons, he fell into deep thought: what is Tan Yushu doing now?

……

April is the season of spring plowing. Originally, at this time, it is the time when the farms are busy with farming, but the people of the hill are very silent.

Year-round hard work made these farmers numb and dull. They didn't know who the emperor was in the court, and they didn't know why they were fighting again.

All I know is that all males over the age of 14 in the family were recruited by the emperor to fight, and the surplus food in the family was also seized as military pay.

The city is full of wars, but it has nothing to do with them. Looking at the barren land and the rice vat without a grain of rice, they know that even if they are not killed by the enemy, they will starve to death.

Now those who are still at home are only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and there is only the gasping of hunger and weakness in the air.

The faint shouts of killing lasted for a day and a night, and gradually disappeared.

Suddenly, a series of neat footsteps, from far to near, became louder and louder, like a stone falling into a calm lake, and the terrified cries suddenly came one after another, becoming more and more clear.

The old man in the house hugged his little grandson who was crying, and opened the window a crack.

I saw a group of soldiers with foreign military uniforms driving into the village, and immediately knew that they had lost.

Looking at the cold swords of the army, the old man sat back to his original place and couldn't help crying. Anyway, I hope their knives are faster, it is better than starving to death, but I feel sorry for his little grandson, who has come to this world in vain.

The door was kicked open suddenly, the old man immediately closed his eyes and waited for death, two soldiers came in to check around, and after finding that there were indeed only the old man and the child, they put down the knife in their hands, and waved behind them: "One adult, one nursing baby. "

Immediately, two more people came in from behind, brought a bucket of rice, brought it to the old man, and said loudly: "General Tianwei heard that the defenders in the city a few days ago searched away all the money and food from the people's homes. I am afraid that you will not be able to live, so I ordered you Wait for the delivery of rice. One bucket for adults, half a bucket for children, and milk babies who can’t chew rice, you can take them to the military supplies office at the head of the village to get some goat milk, and the door will be repaired for you when we come back.”

The old man was dumbfounded, what's going on?

The soldier became impatient: "Don't hurry up? We have to go to the next one! There are still several villages to send, don't waste our time!"

The old man hurriedly took it, and it was really full of a bucket of rice!

There is nothing more intimate than seeing this kind of thing when you are hungry. The old man even doubted life: "Are you the soldiers of Zhiqiu?"

The soldier laughed loudly: "We are the master of King Dayong, and we are only here because of the rebellion against the king Chen Jingsi, so we come to fight against the rebels and help your orthodox eighth prince ascend the throne. It will not harm the people, you can rest assured."

After speaking, he picked up the bucket and walked outside, watching the backs of them leaving, the old man stretched out one ear to listen, and the crying sound that was still there had disappeared, and the only echoes in the village were the Yong people beating gongs and drums Voice: "General Tianwei sent rice! Don't panic!"

The old man was stunned, who is General Tianwei?

But these are not important, looking at the rice in his hand, these are life-saving food!

After a while, the whole village was filled with the smell of warm rice.

After eating a full meal, the people really let go of their vigilance, and one after another people began to carry their children to the village head to get goat milk.

Goat milk is a precious commodity, so everyone gets a limited amount of it, but they are usually reluctant to drink this kind of precious thing, and they want to sell it to the rich, but now they get it in the hands of the enemy...

The adults regained their energy after eating enough, the children stopped crying after eating milk, and even the door that was kicked open was repaired by the group of soldiers.

The already desperate days seemed to be able to go on again, so even though they knew that this was a group of invaders, the people did not resist.

After all, their own people plundered them all, completely disregarding their life and death. Instead, these invaders gave them food, and they didn't know who they should be loyal to.

……

After breaking through another city and clearing the whole area, Tan Yushu took Uncle Zhuang Zi and the Eighth Prince Chen Ruyi into the city, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuang, Your Highness Eighth Prince, come and have a look with me."

The eighth prince, Chen Ruyi, suffered great changes at a young age and became extremely timid, but Tan Yushu was always gentle with others, so slowly, this 14-year-old child began to rely on Tan Yushu and nodded docilely.

So Tan Yushu got on his horse and opened the way ahead, while behind him the Eighth Prince's chariot drove away with drums and gongs.

Hearing the sound of the drums, the people who used to be timid dared to look upright, and saw a general in hard armor and red robe, riding in front on horseback, without a pocket, his young and handsome face was straightforwardly exposed , everyone stared blankly, feeling as if they saw the Bodhisattva in the temple.

Tan Yushu reined in his horse and shouted loudly to everyone in the room: "I am Tianwei General Tan Yushu. I was ordered by the emperor to help protect the Eighth Prince, punish the rebels and restore the orthodoxy. The people of Zhiqiu come and see you!"

So this is General Tianwei!

For those who had just narrowly escaped death, this name was more useful than the Eighth Prince, so they all obediently walked out of the house and kowtowed to see them.

The Eighth Prince sat on the Luanjia and said nervously, so the common people looked at the legendary Eighth Prince and General Tianwei.

Tan Yushu smiled slightly, and said to the group of people: "Father and fellow villagers, we are here only to punish the traitor Chen Jingsi. Anyone who is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light to serve the Eighth Prince will be innocent!"

For the people, the royal family is too far away, and they don't know what "orthodoxy" is.

However, General Tianwei is so benevolent, and the eighth prince is still a legitimate member of the Zhiqiu royal family, why not submit to him?

Immediately he knelt down again and expressed his willingness to pledge allegiance.

Seeing that things were going smoothly, Tan Yushu said again: "When the city was attacked, the treasury of the government in charge of the deeds was unfortunately burned down, and now the fields have become ownerless. Now that the farming season waits for no one, it is important to resume farming as soon as possible, so All the previous registration contracts will be voided, and Master Zhuang next to me will be in charge of dividing the land again, and each household should truthfully report the situation of the population, and if there is any false report, it will be reported and there will be no mercy!"

Tan Yushu's Sha Wushe said it very harshly, but the people below only heard the words "redistribute the land", and their eyes immediately widened.

Most of the families in the village are tenants and have no land at all. When they heard this, they didn't care about other things, and immediately knelt and kowtowed, saying yes again and again.

That "Fire of Fentian" is really good, wonderful, and croaking!

Now Tan Yushu is the king of heaven to these people, and everyone is looking at him with fiery eyes.

But at this time, an old man suddenly said to Tan Yushu with tears in his eyes: "The general is merciful! What should the male who has been conscripted out of that family do?"

Hearing this, everyone thought of it and began to cry together.

Because Dayong and Beirong sent troops at the same time, Chen Jingsi was at a loss. In order to fight against the coalition forces, he almost scraped off a layer of land. In the end, even the fourteenth child was dragged into the army. I don't know what happened now.

Tan Yushu hurriedly dismounted to help the old man, and said kindly, "You don't need to be polite, my Dayong army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Wherever we go, those who follow the trend will be pardoned for capital crimes. Now the prisoners of war are detained in the barracks. Those who have their own family members can take it back."

When the people heard this, they wept with joy, but the old man was still crying: "My son was recruited by the rebels to garrison Niguan. He didn't intend to oppose you. If you see him, please be merciful, General!"

Tan Yushu sighed when he heard the words: "Forgive me, old man. The two countries are at war, and swords have no eyes. How can we not commit any crimes?"

Even though he knew this was the case, the old man still felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Tan Yushu continued: "However, if you can persuade them to come back, this general will not only let the past go, but also reward those who have made great achievements."

General Tianwei is a good man who distributes the land, how can he fight against a good man!The old man immediately made a decision: "I am willing! I am willing to persuade you to surrender!"

Others in the same situation also enthusiastically expressed that they are willing to persuade their family members to surrender and let them come back to farm and live a good life!

So when others attacked the city, they sent people to take turns to scold and fight, causing the people in the city to be unable to resist sending troops, but when Tan Yushu attacked the city, his painting style was very unique.

I saw the shouting soldier carry out a box, take out something, and read from a piece of paper——

"Niu Tiezhu from XX village! Your mother-in-law said that this is the waistband you gave her when she was leaving. If your mother-in-law let you see it, you should surrender quickly! General Tianwei divided the land for our family and fed our baby. , we can't fight him!"

Niu Tiezhu: ...

That looked like it was really his waistband!

At this time, the shouting soldier started to change another one: "Baby Ma from XX Village! Your mother-in-law said it! You have a black mole on your buttocks... Puff——"

The messenger suppressed a smile, and tried to continue reading with a modified voice: "You...your mother-in-law told you to surrender quickly, General Tianwei divided the land for our family, poof—"

The other cheerleaders at the side echoed and roared with laughter, and the defenders in the city couldn't help but wonder who that baby horse with a mole on his butt was...

Baby Ma surrounded by the crowd: ...

This prodigal old woman!Why are you talking about everything?

But what does that mean?Why did General Tianwei distribute the land to their family, why did their family members persuade them to surrender?

As more and more people were named, the defenders in the city were already trembling.

"Don't panic, look again." A strong man named Niu Genbao quietly comforted them.

Hearing this, because of the same village, the group of several people standing together suddenly fell silent.

And at this moment, the enemy army rolled out a chariot with several people on it, and upon closer inspection, many of them were their relatives!

When Niu Genbao saw his old father, his eyes turned red. Did these people arrest his family and threaten him?

Unexpectedly, his father didn't seem to be intimidated at all, but shouted loudly with all his strength: "Genbao! I know you don't believe what others say! So I came in person! Be obedient and surrender! You can do meritorious service! Award a sheep!"

The guard commanding in the city was almost terrified by the black army. Seeing this, he thought it was a hostage to persuade him to surrender. To prevent the army from mutiny, he immediately shouted: "Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"

Looking at the banner of the arrows, Tan Yushu immediately ordered the shouting soldiers to retreat into the formation, and the shield hands stepped forward to form a solid wall to block the rain of arrows.

When the rain of arrows dissipated, he drew his knife to the sky and shouted loudly: "Dayong Tianwei General Tan Yushu was summoned by Emperor Jiaming to hunt down thieves. In accordance with the laws of nature and human feelings, he helped the Eighth Prince of Baozhi Hill to return to his throne! Those who surrendered will be rewarded with land, money and food by their families. ! Insist on following the traitor and conspirators, kill without mercy! Prepare to attack the city!"

With an order, the war drums shook the sky, the horns buzzed, and when thousands of troops moved together, the momentum was like a roaring tsunami, and the soldiers and civilians in the hills near the inland felt dizzy even though they had never seen the sea.

The general who defended the city retreated again and again, and said sternly: "Why hesitate! Hold the city gate! Those who die with their backs to the enemy will be punished as deserters!"

Even so, he was the one who retreated.

When he was about to find a safe place, suddenly his neck felt cold, and there seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. When he listened carefully, it turned out to be his head...

Niu Genbao stepped forward, raised his head, stood on the city wall, and shouted: "Father! I surrender! I have made meritorious service!"

The old man Niu who was standing beside Tan Yushu, jumping anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Tan Yushu excitedly: "General! I heard that those who have done meritorious service can be rewarded with a sheep. Is it true?"

Tan Yushu smiled slightly: "No, your son's merit cannot be rewarded with a sheep."

Old man Niu:?

How can General Tianwei speak without counting!

But Tan Yushu continued to speak unhurriedly: "Beheading the enemy general should reward three cows. If you want sheep, you can also exchange a flock of sheep."

Hearing this, the old man Niu suddenly knelt down and wept with joy, the Bodhisattva blesses him, he is prosperous!

Tan Yushu was also very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that the guard in command would be awarded the head directly in one round.

Immediately ordered the army to shout in unison: "The enemy will be punished! Open the city gate! Rare you not to die!"

Without a leader, the dragons were in chaos inside and out. After a while, the city gate opened by itself.

Sure enough, the art of war is right: the one who defeats the enemy without fighting is the one who is good at what he does.
