Chapter 8 Elk (2)

"Kill people and set fire to be recruited!" "Kill people and set fire to be recruited!" The minions muttered like they were hysterical, repeating constantly. They did not dare to speak too high to avoid causing an avalanche. But everyone's mental energy increased several times in an instant.

Nothing is more wealth than being an official! As for this sentence, the entire team, especially the big and small leaders in the team, have a deep understanding of this. The short career of the "Da Liao Tianyi Army" allowed them to fully experience the sweetness of being an official. When bandits robbed, they should sneak up on the battlefield in broad daylight; when bandits will be stabbed by their hometown elders, they will not be able to enter the ancestral grave after death. When being an official, countless rich gentry and family members will come to flatter, and a few pages will be left in the genealogy to write a book about what he has done. When bandits beat people to death, they will be wanted and chased by the official army. When being an official, they will be beaten to death, and they will be punished by the deceased at will. Even if there are many flaws, they can wash themselves clean...

"After coming out of the mountain, try not to kill too many people along the way!" Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was available, the boss Shi Hongjie lowered his voice and emphasized to the leaders around him, "Zezhou turned out to be a bandit nest, and no one cares about our past. As long as we do more beautifully than others, we can easily become the name of "a thief". At that time, we will pay some money to bribe a few scholars to help brag about it, so we will not worry about the government not coming to the door on its own initiative!"

"The Grand Marshal said it very well!" The leaders responded with their red noses, "How bad are we than the nun's son? Why can he be a high-ranking official, but we are driven into the mountains by Guo Jiaque?"

"We were just unlucky to stand in the wrong team, but who would have thought that Du Chongwei was so soft?"

"Isn't that true? The nun's son Sun Fangjian also repeated it several times before he finally achieved the right result?"

"We must recruit you! If the government refuses to agree, we will fight one city after another until the government agrees!"

"I say we are betraying our ancestors by the Khitans, so I'm gonna betray him! Who hasn't been granted the title of the Great Liao?"

"That's right, that's right, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, or the godson of the Khitans..."

With Shi Jingtang, the emperor was in front of the emperor, no one from the "Tianyi Army" felt that he was tying up the banner of Liao and harming the local area was to help the evil. Moreover, these days, the heroes who once defected to the Khitans were not the "Tianyi Army". The Fu family army, Gao family army, and Li family army all expressed allegiance like the Liao. The situation was closer to everyone. There was also the godson of a nun, the Yiwu Army, Sun Fangjian, the governor of the Yiwu Army, who was the most typical. At that time, Sun was just a charlatan who painted talismans and burned paper. When the Khitans invaded and occupied a earthen fort, he dared to proclaim himself the governor. Then he defected to Liao and Liu Han. After several times, his official position rose higher and higher, and his brothers and grandchildren all wore purple clothes. (Note 1)

Encouraged by the dream of getting promoted and wealth, the team traveled through Taihang day and night. Although along the way, people kept falling to pieces and frozen to death, more than 95% of them gritted their teeth and persevered until the end.

The road under your feet gradually became wider and flatter. The sky in the distance also became brighter and bigger. The cliff gradually retreated to the north and south sides, and the rugged hillsides became empty and desolate fields without everyone knowing it.

There is still a north wind whistling from the north, but it is no longer like a knife cutting on the face. All the snow particles rolled in the wind disappear. Instead, it is a cold and moist water vapor, like nectar and jade dew, nourishing people's nostrils.

"Brothers, work harder! Walk along the riverside, you won't be able to go far to Lingchuan!" The leader Shi Hongjie suddenly felt excited, turned around on the horse's back, and shouted loudly.

"Try harder, work harder. Beat Lingchuan City, and each person will send a beautiful woman to warm the bed!" The other big and small leaders all opened their voices to boost morale.

"Cap the Lingchuan City, kill people and set fire to be recruited!" "Cap the Lingchuan City, kill people and set fire to be recruited!" The minions were excited, shouting their dreams, and their legs moved quickly. They ran westward along the river channel evolved from the canyon.

It's almost here.

Water sources must be solved when building a city.

Walking along the river bank, you will definitely reach your destination. According to everyone's impression, the government troops in Zelu and Lu states are vulnerable at all. Perhaps they can capture a city at no cost and live the life of open fire and persistence again.

There was no sign of anyone in the empty wilderness. Before he could go to the field, the farmers hid in the unique earthen kiln in Hedong, and would not come out to move their bodies easily. Occasionally, there were deer deer who had been hungry for a winter, and the yellow sheep rushed past the team, causing cheers immediately. The overwhelming feather arrows shot over and shot the poor prey directly into a sieve. Then they cut them under them and divided the corpses and ate them.

The westward, the flatter the terrain becomes.

The westward, the softer the wind and the wetter the air.

The cliffs were gradually replaced by hills, and the river unknowingly turned into a big river full of ice. Near the center of the river, there were traces of flowing water. Some fish in a semi-hibernation state were awakened by the neighing of the horses on the shore, and jumped out of the ice. The shiny scales were shining by the sun, and reflected an extremely tempting light in the air.

"Fish, fish!" Immediately someone shouted and rushed into the team, using a spear to assassinate the prey in the water. The food along the way made people's eyes turn red, and they made some river food, which just happened to replenish their bodies.

Unfortunately, their fishing skills are really not very good, and the water in the center of the river is too deep. In a blink of an eye, all the big and small fish that were rolling in the air just now disappeared, leaving only a dark black water line, which was reflected by the ice surfaces on both sides, making it look particularly deep.

"Damn, I don't believe this evil!" More bandits rushed to the middle of the river, carrying steel knives and spears, and began to dig ice. As the saying goes, there are many people and the power is great, soon the water flow begins to widen, and the ice surface under their feet is rapidly narrowing.

"Everyone is back, you're back, you're not going to die!" Shi Hongjie shouted impatiently, instigating the war horses to run back and forth along the riverside.

The half-frozen river surface is the most dangerous. No one knows where the ice is thicker and where the ice will be thinner. If there is a large-scale collapse, a small number of greedy minions will probably have to feed the turtle.

No one was willing to listen to him, except for the hundreds of men who started his career. The other nine thousand minions did not undergo strict training at all. At this moment, they completely lost their self-control in the face of delicious food. Unless they took a knife to cut them, they would ignore all military orders.

"Come here, blow the horns and whole team! If anyone does not obey the order, he will be killed without mercy!" Shi Hongjie stopped him for a long time, but he didn't stop him. He was so angry that he raised his whip and roared fiercely.

"Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwu-!" The confidant guards blew the horn and spread his anger throughout the army. The minions who were chiseling ice on the river to catch fish turned around in confusion, their eyes full of annoyance. After walking on the mountain road for half a month, people were almost tired, and they didn't let the fish soup take a sip of relaxation? Isn't this still not becoming Guan Jun? Even if they become Guan Jun, they can't help but give everyone a bite of hot meal?

"Beat the drum, beat the drum and gather the generals!" However, the performance of the great leader Shi Hongjie became increasingly inhumane. It was not only true that the trumpet sounded, but also ordered the confidants around him to beat the drum of the gathering generals on the horse's back.

"Dongdongdongdong, dongdongdongdong, dongdongdongdong,..." The violent drum beat quickly swept along the river beach, shocking everyone's ears and lips numb.

Sanmao refused to respond, beheaded and showed his head! Ordinary minions could continue to be lazy and slick, but those who were the leaders knew that their commanders were decisive in killing! They did not dare to delay any more, and held the corners of their robe that were splashed by the river and stumbled towards the commander's post.

"Second, third, you two lead the scouts, and immediately get the situation back when you find it. Fourth, fifth, you two go and pull the rest of your brothers back from the river as quickly as possible, and gather on the team on the spot. Sixth, seventh, you two each bring two hundred archers, and the big willow trees in front are the boundaries. Any stranger dares to approach and shoot immediately! Other brothers, return to our team immediately and get close to the coach's flag to form a formation!" Before the big and small leaders arrived, Shi Hongjie couldn't wait to issue orders.

"Master, what did you say? Where did the enemies come from in the wilderness?" Now, not only did the minions feel that he was full of soldiers, but the core leader in the team could not understand his behavior and stammered in doubt.

"It would be too late if you encounter an enemy!" Shi Hongjie frowned with his broom eyebrows, narrowed his triangle eyes, and scolded him sternly. "Don't talk too much, hurry up and do what I said? I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. There must be strange things around here, and there must be!"

"Oh, oh! Obey the order! Obey the order!" The leaders looked disdainful, but repeatedly agreed on their mouths. They retreated one after another, and lazily executed the orders.

"There must be strange, there must be strange!" Shi Hongjie rode on the horse and kept hovering in the spot. Before he proclaimed himself as the governor, he had been surrounded by the government for many years, and he had long formed an intuition about danger in his soul. Whether he could see the enemy, whenever a fierce battle came, there would be a small area between his eyebrows slightly numb. Like a needle prick, he repeatedly reminded him not to take it lightly.

Today, the needle pricking between the eyebrows was particularly intense. But where did the enemy come from? He himself couldn't figure it out. Zelu and Lu are bandit nests, although it is said that the court has sent Chang Si to govern. However, even a veteran of Chang Si would not be able to put a place that had been chaotic for decades in just a few months. Unless, unless he gave birth to three heads and six arms.

"Puff!" A big fish more than two feet long suddenly jumped up from the middle of the river and beautifully flipped somersaults in the air. Immediately afterwards, more fish jumped out of the water alternately and stretched their bodies in the sun. The minions who were walking towards the river bank were immediately attracted by the posture of the fish, shouted in their mouths, ran back again, stabbed the river with swords and guns. The leader Shi Hongjie suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed to the west of the river bank, "The whole team will fight, the whole team will fight! The enemy attacks, the enemy attacks, and the large group of cavalry!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The scouts who had just walked far rushed back at a speed five times faster than when they set off. While running, they waved the middle flag in their hands desperately, "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Cavalry, all cavalry!"

All the minions catching fish in the river straightened their waists, not because they heard the alarm, but because of the incidents around them. Groups of fish jumped out of the water, rising and falling. The ice surface under their feet was shaking, the river water in front of them was shaking, and the blue sky and white clouds above their heads seemed to be hit, swaying constantly.

Cavalry, countless cavalry, suddenly emerged from the ground not far away. They were lined up with a tidy square formation, both speeding and slow, like a huge steel plow.
