after being kidnapped by the general

After Chu Hechao waited for Yuanli to finish washing his hair, he wrung the water from Yuanli's hair.When Yuanli was about to take a bath, he lazily left.Yuanli was more at ease alone, he took a slow bath, and the next day he and the others embarked on the last journey to Youzhou clean and refreshed.

The further you go to Youzhou, the more desolate the terrain becomes.

They entered Youzhou from Zhuojun. As soon as they entered Zhuojun, the scouts who were exploring the road ahead hurried back on horseback. "General, we found a rebel army looting Beixincheng County ahead. There are about 2 people!"

"2 people?" Yang Zhongfa said in surprise, with an ugly expression on his face, "How come there are so many white rice crowds in Youzhou!"

Chu Hechao frowned, "How is the situation?"

"They are burning, killing and looting in Beixincheng County," the scout said, "The county magistrate's mansion has been burned down, and the white flag of King Duliang has been planted!"

The leaders of the rebel army were Du Nie, Liang Zhou, and Wang Jian, who were called Du Liang Wang's rebel army.And because the people used the white cloth of the gate as a mark, and the flag was also a white cloth with rice grains painted on it, the rebel army was also called the white rice crowd.

Although Youzhou is the fiefdom of the King of Chu, the family of the Prince of Chu's family has never managed Youzhou.Over time, local officials and tyrants became local emperors, annexing land and raising taxes privately. After the rebellion of King Duliang, many people in Youzhou rose up and joined King Duliang army.

Yuan Li reined in his horse, pursed his lips tightly for a moment, and turned his head to look directly at Chu Hechao, "General, the mountains on both sides are towering and steep, and the military salaries cannot be smuggled from the mountains. We can only go forward and pass through Beixincheng County into Guangzhou Ji County, Yang County."

And Jixian County, Guangyang County is the destination they are going to.

If we retreat and turn back, I'm afraid we will be delayed for another month on the road.

Everyone froze in the middle of the road for a moment.

They walked all the way, not without being besieged by Bai Mizhong.But because of the threat of a thousand cavalry, Bai Mizhong did not dare to approach.But this time they encountered not scattered insurgents, but a full 2 people!

One thousand cavalry against [-] infantry, even if these infantry are civilians who have never been trained in militarization in the fields, they will be dragged to death because of the large gap in numbers.

Chu Hechao thought for a short moment, and quickly made a decision. He raised his hand and said decisively: "Yuan Congyun, you and five hundred cavalry are here to protect the military pay. Remember, if the military pay loses your life, don't even think about it." .”

Yuan Congyun looked solemn, clasped his fists and said: "The last general will obey orders."

"Yang Zhongfa, you follow Han Jin and I lead another [-] light cavalry to sneak into Beixincheng County with me," Chu Hechao said calmly, "Let them put down their bags, take off their armor, and only hold bows and arrows and big knives."

Yang Zhongfa and Han Jin said sonorously and forcefully: "Yes."

Yuan Li immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Chu Hechao knew that he had both the ability to kill the enemy and the ability to coordinate, so he nodded in agreement.Yuan Li turned to Liu Jixin and Wang Er and said, "I'll leave it to you two. Mr. Liu, you are very resourceful, please take care of everyone."

Liu Jixin and Wang Er said together: "Young Master, please rest assured."

Soon, the five hundred Qingqi were assembled.Chu Hechao led the crowd to Beixincheng County from the mountain trail.

Beixincheng County is surrounded by mountains on all sides. They rode around the mountains for a quarter of an hour, stopped at a very high and extremely hidden place, and looked down at the situation in Beixincheng County from top to bottom.

War, whether in ancient or modern times, whether it is cold weapons or hot weapons, is cruel.

Beixincheng County is already in chaos, with corpses everywhere.

The rebel army is massacring the people.

The people cried and were chopped off at the waist with a knife, broken limbs and legs, and ruins of minced meat. The thatched huts were on fire, and black smoke billowed in many places.

The wind blows from Beixincheng County, and the smell of blood is so strong that it makes people sick to the stomach. The screams and cries of the people in Beixincheng County are heard along the wind, and they can hear them clearly as far away as Yuanli Chu.

The white rice crowd waved white flags and scattered around the county. Their faces were ferocious, their clothes were soaked in blood, and their pockets were full of gold and silver treasures.

And in front of the burnt county magistrate's mansion, a man wearing brand-new Xuanjia and holding a steel knife, looking very rich and honored, is being surrounded by many white rice crowds to protect him tightly. He should be the leader of this group of white rice crowd .

"I recognize him! This man's name is Ma Renyi, a well-known tyrant in Zhuo County. He once asked someone to give gifts to my mansion, and he wanted to use my mouth to find a general to buy an official." Han Jin recognized the leader with a sullen face. He said, "In the [-] white rice crowd, it is estimated that there are quite a few of his trilogy and cronies."

Yuan Li looked at the scene in front of him coldly.

In fact, in ancient times, the population was a valuable labor force, and few rulers ordered the massacre of the city when faced with unresisting common people.One is because massacres have a bad reputation, and the other is that it is a waste of effort and meaningless.

But these rebels are composed of poor and hungry people. Of course, there are absolutely not many of them who like to kill people.But when they conquered a city and knocked on doors one by one asking for property, everything changed.

Everyone wants money, but people's money is not constant.Give it to the first person, and the next person who comes to ask for it will have no money, and those who have no money will not be reconciled, and will kill indiscriminately.

There were too many monks, so the Baimi people quickly understood that they could threaten the people by killing people, and get all the people's property as quickly as possible.

Give money, or die if you don't give money.

Men must die, but beautiful women can be kept as their spoils.

After robbing this one, and then robbing the next one, you must grab more money than others!

These rebels were people who had been forced to rebel. They lacked money and food to support their battles, so they burned down government offices, killed officials, looted everywhere, and swept up the farms of powerful landlords. When they raised their butcher knives against other people, they had became the perpetrator.

And these are situations that the scholars behind the rebel army can predict but don't care about.

These aristocratic families know that the dead will have common people, powerful people, and scholars.

But they still decided to lead the uprising, using the sacrifice of most of the people and a small number of powerful scholars to change their plight and regain power.

They are not really for the country and the people, they are for themselves.

Those scholars who stood at the top would not care about the deaths of the people. Even if ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million people died, the Northern Zhou Dynasty could still survive the remaining tens of millions of people.

War will not destroy the land. As long as the land is still there, won't the people be able to increase again?

Looking at the dilapidated city wall in front of him and the bloody corpses all over the street, Yuan Li didn't speak for a long time.

Han Jin murmured: "Is this comparable to the Underworld?"

Yuan Li suddenly asked: "Is the Underworld scary?"

Han Jin said: "Naturally it's scary. Not only me, but the common people, princes and ministers, and the emperor too."

"Really?" Yuan Li's voice was extremely calm, "People always think that the underworld is the most terrifying, but isn't the most terrifying thing the human world?"

Han Jin froze suddenly, looking sideways at Yuan Li.

Yuan Li said: "If I can..."

He stopped abruptly.

Yuan Li caressed his chest blankly.

His heart was beating violently, as if something he didn't understand had begun to grow.

if I could……

what can i do

What do I want to do?

Yang Zhongfa said beside him: "General, what should we do?"

Yuan Li came back to his senses, and then looked at Chu Hechao.

The corners of Chu Hechao's lips were cold and hard, and his jaw was tightly clenched. He said, "The Baimi people are mobs. As long as Ma Renyi is taken down, they will disperse. Twenty thousand people are nothing to be afraid of. Yang Zhongfa, you and Han Jin Each led a hundred cavalry to pretend to attack from the east and west sides, bluffing, and making the noise louder. Once the white rice crowd came to pursue them, they would feint and lure them away to prevent the enemy from turning back to help. Wu Kai, I will give you two hundred Cavalry, after the white rice crowd on both sides are attracted to leave, you are ordered to charge along the narrow passage from the southeast, do you dare?"

He seemed to know Wu Kai very well.

Wu Kai clasped his fists, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Dare."

With [-] cavalry against many Bai Mizhong, although it is possible to take the lead by attacking from a narrow road, after Bai Mizhong reacts, Wu Kai and the others will undoubtedly be in danger.

However, there are very few cavalry in Baimi, and they are all infantry with little combat effectiveness.Once the opportunity is seized, two hundred cavalry can kill more than 1000 opponents even if they are brave.After killing the opponent, the irregular army will be scattered, afraid to approach, leaving time for Wu Kai and the others to procrastinate.

Chu Hechao shook hands, his knuckles creaked, and he said flatly, "The rest of you follow me to get Ma Renyi's head."

"General, I'll go too," Yuan Li followed calmly, "My arrow skills are good, you can try to kill him among thousands of troops."

Chu Hechao stared at him sideways, "Really?"

Yuan Li said: "Really."

A sharpshooter is the same as a sharpshooter, and there is no one out of a thousand people.Once one is out, it must be the trump card in the army.

Chu Hechao took a deep look at him, turned around and led the people away, slowly approaching the forest behind the county magistrate's mansion from the edge of the foot of the mountain.

This place is still extremely far away from Ma Renyi and the army around him.

Chu Hechao and Yuanli waited quietly with a hundred cavalry.

They are waiting for Yang Zhongfa and Han Jin to attack.

Once they made an attack, the army gathered around Ma Renyi would send two people to fight against the enemy. As long as their noise was big enough, Ma Renyi would send more people to resist the enemy.

After that, it was time for Wu Kai to act.Attacking from three sides creates the feeling of being surrounded in all directions.Ma Renyi will definitely run away, as long as he starts to run away in a panic, it is a chance to take his life.

In the silence, Chu Hechao suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, you only have one chance."

Yuan Li was moving his wrist, checking the bow and arrow, he lowered his head and stroked the arrow end, saying: "I know."

Once he failed, Ma Renyi would definitely notice that someone was going to kill him, and it would be difficult to kill him again after that.

Chu Hechao had no doubts about the employment, so he stopped talking and waited patiently for the opportunity.

Finally, the chaos started.

Someone rushed to Ma Renyi in a hurry, pointed to the east and west sides and said a few words.Ma Renyi's face changed drastically, and he immediately sent people to meet the enemy.

After dispatching people, he nervously looked forward to the news of victory.But the news of the victory did not come, instead, the ferocious cavalry who did not know where came from waited.

That's cavalry!

Ma Renyi panicked when he saw it, and planned to move the battlefield under the protection of his subordinates.At this time, Yuanli had already arrived behind the county magistrate's mansion under the cover of Chu Hechao and the cavalry.

The billowing smoke from burning became a sharp weapon to cover up their figures, and it also became a drawback to blind Yuanli's eyes and cause mistakes.

Chu Hechao frowned and looked at the choking smoke, "Can you?"

Sweat slid from the temples, and a few black hairs stuck to the side of the cheeks.Yuan Li looked ahead with incomparable concentration, his eyes passed through the smoke, and scanned the rebel army.

Hearing this, he suddenly showed a relaxed smile.

"General," Yuan Li's eyes were concentrated, he turned his head sideways, and aimed at the leader who was hiding in the rebel army in panic, his voice was so soft that it would break with a blow, "Don't underestimate the logistics army."

The bow is full.

Yuanli let go decisively.

With a sound of "swish", the sharp arrow flew rapidly, passed through the billowing smoke and flames, and rushed into the crowd.

Ma Renyi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and his legs became weak from the panic.He looked up consciously.

A sharp arrow continued to enlarge, and under the unbelievable expression of the leader of the rebel army, he passed through his eyebrows without hesitation, killing him with one blow.
