Wei Qing withdrew his long sword, took off his bow, and asked for another bag of arrows, and shot down a Yue man with one arrow.n, "Ah Xiao, how's it going?"
"It feels good." ”Hearing the sound of strings, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yue Ren who was more than ten steps away fell to the ground with an arrow.Although Wei Qing's archery skills are still a certain distance from him, they are also outstanding, and they are more than enough to deal with these Yue people who have lost their command.He let go of his bow and moved his fingers.The continuous firing made his fingers sore."
Let's try."
Wei Qing said, once again opened his bow and released arrows, shooting down a Yue man who was looking east and west."
Accompany you to the end."
Liang Xiao smiled, took an arrow, swept his gaze, and shot through the thigh of a tall Yue man.The Yue people screamed in pain, the shield in his hand was lowered, and the flaws had just been revealed, Wei Qing shot an arrow, hitting him in the face and hitting his left eye.Yue Ren fell on his back, covered his face, rolled on the ground, and screamed.The companions around him looked at each other, and they didn't dare to be careless.With the protection of the inner wall and the support of the people in the inner wall, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing were much easier.You have an arrow, I have an arrow, sometimes they do their own thing, sometimes they cooperate with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they shoot down five people.The people of Lizhong were inspired by their superb archery skills, and every time an arrow was fired, they would stomp their feet and shout in unison.In the cheers, the morale of the Vietnamese people became even lower, and they tried to attack, but they were repelled by the morale of the people in Lizhong, and several more people were shot and killed.In front of Liang Xiao and Wei Qing, any negligence could lead to death, which made the pressure on the Yue people increase sharply and the offensive was seriously frustrated.One trades off the other.The people in Lizhong are full of fighting spirit.Screaming and swearing.Only then did Liang Xiao notice that most of the people who participated in the war were women and children.There were few men, except for the men at the back door, almost all of them were gray-haired old men, and there were a few disabled men who looked like they had been injured and retired.Liang Xiao sweated profusely.It seems that he still overestimated Lizhong's strength and underestimated Wu Chumin's fierceness.These old, weak, sick and disabled people actually blocked the attack of nearly 100 Yue people, and they have persevered until now, I have to say.It's really awesome.The two sides were deadlocked until the evening, and the Vietnamese people, who had suffered heavy losses, finally could not support it and reluctantly withdrew from the battlefield.The people in the middle of the country thundered with joy."
Good boy, good archery" A white-haired old man walked over on crutches and gave a thumbs up to Liang Xiao and Wei Qing.The old man "from Chang'an" spoke official language, although it was more blunt, but Liang Xiao could still understand it.If it was a pure native language, he wouldn't understand a word.After fighting side by side with the people of Lizhong for a long time, he hardly knew what they were talking about except for their cheers.Probably because of this.Li Zheng just found this old man."
My husband has been to Chang'an" "When I was young, I traveled the world and went to Chang'an.He can speak a few official words. ”The old man stroked his beard, and his brown face showed a strange look, as if he remembered his old youth."
Look at your clothes, you are the official in the palace" "The old man has good eyesight. ”Liang Xiao jumped down from the inner door, pulled the wound, and sweated all over his head in pain.After half a day of fighting, he had four more wounds, and he couldn't feel it during the battle, and as soon as the battle was over, the pain that had been suppressed immediately came like a tidal wave and drowned him."
Injured" The old man glanced at him, and immediately beckoned a few people to help Liang Xiao and Wei Qing into a small courtyard.The small courtyard was very dilapidated, and the hall in front of it had a hole broken, and the thatch on it was torn to pieces, and it was all over the yard.It seems that he was hit by a rocket, and in order to put out the fire, almost the entire roof was lifted."
It's all God-damned thieves."
The old man cursed while directing the two aunts to help Liang Xiao and Wei Qing bandage.A young daughter-in-law in her early twenties was busy boiling water and cooking.Taking advantage of the gap in bandaging, Liang Xiao asked about the situation.The old man told them that it was not a big deal for the Vietnamese people to attack, and it was almost an annual practice.Huiji is a border county, and it will be organized to prepare for the border after the autumn harvest every year.It's just that this year's situation is more severe, in previous years, the Yue people usually did not cross the Wulin River, and only haunted the southern part of Huiji, but this year they have been attacking near Wu County.The strong men in the room were all transferred to prepare for the side, only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left, and they were very passive in the face of the sudden arrival of the Yue people."
Uncle, the thieves come every year" Wei Qing was surprised.He had been serving the Son of Heaven for some time and had never heard anything like it."
Of course."
The old man was very calm."
We are very familiar with these Vietnamese people, and we are not afraid of them, but we have come too much this year.Speaking of which, more than ten years ago, when I was still in the state of Wu, I still had a few Yue friends, who would have thought that I would become an enemy now.Alas, "Liang Xiao didn't say anything.He heard Wu Guo again.From the old man's sigh, he felt his nostalgia for the former Wu Kingdom."
Uncle, the thieves are coming, the people are suffering, Taishou has been rescued" "Rescue" The old man glared."
They are too busy to take care of themselves now, and they don't know if they can hold Wu County, where they can save us.It's just some poor ghosts, who cares if they die.It's good to die, and all the acres of land will be returned to them, and they won't even have to pay a single penny. ”"The Taishou Mansion occupies the acres of land" "The Taishou Mansion does not occupy it, but they are deaf and blind and don't care about anything." ”The old man was so angry that his beard was cocked, and his crutches knocked on the ground."
Those big clans are rampant in the countryside, forced to buy and sell.They are rich and powerful, and they have raised a lot of rangers.If you refuse, you will go to make trouble and fight, either you will break people, or you will destroy the crops, so that all your hard work for a year will be wasted, and finally you have to sell it to him cheaply" Listening to the old man's angry accusation, Liang Xiao frowned.He had heard of this kind of thing before, but the Liang family had no land, so he didn't have any personal experience.Although the Tu family is also selling land, it has not reached this point.The situation in Huiji County is obviously more serious than in Guangling, where the influence of the government is even less, and the powerful family is the real controller."
Without land, we fled to Zhenze with a big living ability and became a thief, and a small person fled to the mountains, and simply became a barbarian, but if it didn't work, we wandered around the village, or sold our sons and daughters to change food.The more thieves are strong, it has nothing to do with it.They hate those big families so much, so they are naturally willing to work hard" Liang Xiao couldn't help but gasp.The hatred caused by the land annexation had turned into war, something they had not expected.No wonder Minyue was able to break through and attack all the way to the vicinity of Wu County, it turned out that it was not only because of the addition of Huan Yuan and others, but also because of the hatred that had been accumulating and fermenting.Yan Zhu knows these questions, did he mention them to the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it's not likely, because the Yan family is one of the big families in Wu County.Liang Xiao looked at Wei Qing.Wei Qing was a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he had the opportunity to convey this information to the ears of the Son of Heaven.He was born in poverty, so he must be able to understand the pain of these landless people.In the old man's angry shouting and scolding, under Liang Xiao's gaze, Wei Qing was silent, and he couldn't see any special expressions.
