Chapter Seventy-Two: Zhuozhou


No matter how reluctant he was, Yunhao still ushered in the first battle of this expedition.

In fact, it's not much to see at all, for a place where hunger starts right after the autumn harvest.

Food means everything.

In a forest beside the road, a group of men on horseback suddenly rushed out.

Not many, about a hundred or ten people.

But the people following them were overwhelming.

They are all veterans who have been trained by Yunhao's current tactics.

They eliminate the enemy on the offensive route.

This is Yunhao's and their military philosophy.

The grain truck was quickly surrounded by a circle, and five thousand powerful crossbows were fired at the rushing enemies.

The bows and crossbows were fired at the same time, and there was an exhausting roar of the wind.

With this whistling sound, the hundreds of men on horses turned into hedgehogs.

Both humans and horses lose their body temperature quickly in the cold wind.

All that's left is massacre, and those on the other side have no armor.

Even the weapons are big wooden sticks, and the smarter ones will use a wooden board as a shield.

Such equipment cannot effectively resist the fire of the five-stone crossbow.

The old fisherman gave technical guidance to the generals who served as supervisors, so things like five-stone crossbows that ordinary people could not pull apart began to appear in large numbers in the army.

The solution is simple, just a series of gears.

Thin linen clothes can't stop arrows, and neither can simple broken boards.

People are like harvested wheat, falling to the ground row after row.

On the way to the charge, there were corpses lying on the ground, and their empty stomachs made these people really want to die.

It would be better to die happily than to starve to death.

Go forward and continue until there is nothing left to kill.

There were only two people left in front of Yunhao, an old man and a young man, facing an army of five thousand armed to the teeth.

They shed tears and moved forward step by step.

There were no shoes on my bare feet, and even though they were covered by the mud, the purple heels could still be seen.

This is where they come to die, and for them, death is really a relief.

It once again proved that people can howl like wolves, and the sound is sad and desolate, echoing in the clearing next to the forest.

A group of government soldiers walked out of the group, and when they saw the body, they stabbed him in the head.

For them, the head represents merit and future wealth.

Regardless of whether they were villagers or honest and dutiful people.

As long as they take up arms against the army, they are the enemy.

Yes, big wooden sticks can be considered weapons.

In many cases, this thing is the standard equipment of the peasant army.

The bullock cart dragged an unknown number of people behind it, but Yunhao did not allow them to walk upwind.

Wuli Sima personally witnessed these feats, which is effective.

Although, Yunhao thought this was just a naked massacre, and there was really no martial arts to show off.

When we stayed in a village at night, the village was deserted.

Not to mention chickens and dogs, not even a human being was seen.

At night, the soldiers on night patrol caught a few sneaky guys.

These guys are very special, their eyes actually have a wolf-like luster in the dark.

Yunhao ordered people to drag them out and bury them without hesitation.

He didn't have to kill them and bury them alive.

The government soldiers faithfully carried out Yun Hao's orders, but they needed to dig the hole themselves.

These men worked very hard when digging the hole, and they had no rope to escape easily.

But none of them escaped, let alone resisted.

They were sweating profusely while digging, as if they could leave after the labor reform was successful.

It would be even more ridiculous to be kicked into a pit.

The veterans are very experienced.

They only tied their thumbs upside down with two hemp ropes to prevent them from moving.

It was only now that these guys knew the purpose of this pit.

With his hands tied, he arched upwards like a maggot, trying his best to escape from the big hole dug by himself.

The soldiers are all veterans who are accustomed to fighting.

On weekdays, they may be the most peaceful farmers.

Some of them with gray hair can even be called respected elders.

But on the battlefield, they are all the most ferocious wolves.

It's better to expect them to be more tolerant than to expect a sow to climb a tree.

Anyone who came up the gentle slope would pierce the bastard with a spear and kick him into the pit.

Yunhao found that their eyes were cold, like a lifeless robot.

People on the edge of the big pit filled the hole with soil.

Some weird guys actually opened their mouths to receive the soil and ate it.

This was not a solution.

There was so much soil that it was impossible to finish it.

"Brother Hao, it's not like this."

Li Daoyan looked at the miserable situation in the pit and felt a little unbearable.

After all, he was a dandy from Chang'an City.

He was recruited as a deputy general to gain military glory through his father Li Shentong.

Li Shentong's reputation was irrefutable, so Yunhao could only pinch his nose and admit it.

However, I have been warned that this deputy general cannot issue any military orders.

In fact, even if he speaks, only his own generals will listen.

Others just thought it was farting.

"Everyone here is dead, they are the only ones who are not dead.

Look how strong they are when they push up.

Tell me, how could they still be so strong without food?"

"You mean they vomited?"

When he thought of the cannibals in the pit, Li Daoyan opened his mouth and vomited.

"Humans are not beasts, and even beasts do not eat their own kind.

So, if this man eats humans, then he is not even as good as a beast.

If such a guy sees one, he must kill one.

If he stays in the human world, that is Disaster."

Yunhao said and left.

He couldn't bear the scene of burying people alive.

The army didn't have a place to repair until it reached Zhuozhou.

Luo Yi personally led people ten miles out of the city to greet him, but he didn't expect the little kid back then.

Now he has become the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, which makes Luo Yi sigh with regret.

When he joined the Tang Dynasty, in addition to being given the surname Li, he only had the title of Duke of Yan.

Compared with the former feudal official and the tea-drinking King of Peking, he was suddenly down a level.

"Yunhao greets Duke Yan."

Seeing Luo Yi, Yunhao immediately stepped out of the carriage and bowed to salute.

This is in a formal setting and can only be called an official term.

If they meet in private, Yunhao should call him Uncle Luo Yi.

Luo Yi was really old when we first met.

There are some gray hairs, but not too much.

But this time when they met, Luo Yi's head was almost completely covered with white hair.

Hebei has been in a state of flux in recent years, with Liu Wuzhou making trouble and Dou Jiande making trouble too.

Wang Shichong came from the south and occupied Henan, as well as the powerful Wagang rebels.

Luo Yi was overwhelmed with each one of them But these guys were eventually beaten to ashes by Li Tang's army.

Facts have proved that Li Tang was the family member who had the last laugh in this revolution.

Now Luo Yi is very happy that he has taken refuge in Li Tang.

If he had taken refuge in Dou Jiande, he might not even be able to keep a place like Zhuozhou.

The army passed by the walled city and was not allowed to enter, but Luo Yi very thoughtfully prepared a military camp for Yunhao.

The so-called military camp turned out to be a small town on the edge of Zhuozhou.

Although it was not big, it could still barely accommodate a few thousand people.

Dou Jiande's rebel army completely abandoned many villages, and the madness of the rebel army even discouraged generals like Luo Yi.

They could only stay in Zhuozhou City and watch the rebels ravaging the countryside.

"Hebei is so exhausted that we can only find a place like this for you."

Luo Yi stood in Yun Hao's army camp and looked up at the sky above his head.

"What did Uncle Robert say?

It would be nice to have a place to stay when Hebei is hit by military disasters.

Fortunately, it's not winter yet.

We can still survive the winter with some repairs.

It's just the firewood for the army that needs uncle's help.

In the middle of winter, Without firewood, the army may collapse without fighting."

With nearly twenty days left until winter, Yunhao believes that these houses can still be saved.

"Firewood is not a problem.

The coal you mentioned in your letter is available in Zhuozhou, and we have already sent people to get it.

If you are short of that thing in winter, just come to uncle.

Don't call me uncle in the future.

His Majesty has a decree.

Give the surname Guo From now on, let’s call him Uncle Li.”

In later generations, it would have been a curse to ask someone to change their surname, but this year it has become an honor.

Fortunately, Yun Hao is the only one in the Yun family.

If Li Yuan asked Yun Hao to change his surname, Yun Hao would still resist the order and be beaten to death.

"Come in, the food is a little thin.

If you are picky about something, let's see if this meal is to your liking."

Luo Yi was very polite to Yunhao, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows this.

Yunhao was the number one favorite outside the royal family.

He was the only marquis in the Tang Dynasty who dared to beat the prince.

And there are no consequences after the beating, which makes people raise eyebrows.

We entered a somewhat decent house with complete facilities.

The house looks like it has been renovated, but it is a little small.

Yunhao and his entourage of twenty or thirty people crammed in, and it was filled immediately.

To say shabby is indeed a bit shabby.

The place is shabby, but the food is really diverse.

Zhuozhou is not close to the sea, but it is much closer than Chang'an and Luoyang.

Prawns as thick as a baby's arm can only be found in the Bohai Bay.

The reason why it is called a prawn is because this thing has grown up.

Two are equal to one pound A crab with two pointed ends, oh my god, isn't this the legendary flying crab?

In future generations, this thing will sell for more than a hundred each, and at least two hundred for such a big one.

As for wild boar from the mountains, a whole roasted big pheasant.

The huge roasted whole lamb was as big as a donkey.

Yunhao suspected that this thing had horse genes.

This is still a fucking sheep This is a standard delicacy from the mountains and seas.

Yunhao is sure that Li Yuan's palace banquet may not have such good food.

The wine is the Yun family's steamed wine, which is purely the product of failed alcohol refining.

Yunhao is quite familiar with the things he owns.

However, if these things are transported to Hebei or the Turks, they will be considered valuables.

If you're not a noble, don't even think about having a taste.

Yunhao felt that these jars of Yunjia steamed wine were absolutely worth thousands of gold.

"Uncle Li, I know you like my wine.

I didn't tell you, but I brought some aged wine this time.

You can try it."

Yunhao didn't want to drink the wine from the jar.

He had always heard that drinking fake wine would cause you to go blind.

Yunhao felt that the stuff produced at his home was equivalent to mixing fake wine.

"Haha, your wine is a rare good thing.

I remember the last time you brought some for me from Jinyang.

The wine you bought was more violent than mellow.

It's a pity that the wars in the years have cut off the trade routes.

There are several I haven't had a drink from your house in the past year.

Please bring it up quickly.

I'm so greedy.

"There is no general who doesn't like wine.

Luo Yi heard that Yun Hao had brought some fine wine, so he couldn't bear it.

"Originally, there was Uncle Li's car among these drinks.

The meeting just now was a business matter, so I didn't mention it."

"You are a sensible boy.

Your brother is in Chang'an and you are taking care of me, so I feel relieved.

Speaking of those children back then, you were the youngest and still a baby.

Who would have thought that today you have the highest title. " "What did Uncle Li say?

I was young back then.

In fact, I have always regarded Uncle Qin as my elder, but I'm just afraid of calling you old.

If you are based on seniority, I should call you Grandpa Li."

"Hahaha, what you say is good.

Everyone has their own opinions.

I'm really not used to your kid calling me grandpa.

After all, it's your brother who is older than you.

He didn't even give birth to a son.

I heard that your kid I already have a son.

It’s okay, you brothers, talk about your experience and let your brother give birth to a son as soon as possible, so that I can also enjoy the blessing of Cheng Huan.”

Luo Cheng has not given birth to a boy and a half girls in these years, which has always been Luo Yi's heartache.

But Luo Cheng has been outside these years, and Luo Yi can't find anyone even if he wants to nag.

This old bastard misses his grandson so much that he has nothing to do to talk about his experience.

Could it be that you old guy wants me to be like Li Yuan and Pei Ji and hold an unobstructed conference?

I really can't guess what the old gangster is thinking.

Yun Hao brought people to the table, and Luo Yi introduced Yun Hao to his subordinates one by one.

They are all old acquaintances, and I have met almost all of them in Beiping Mansion back then.

There are several new faces, but I have heard their names but have never seen them before.

For example, Zhang Jian When he heard that Yun Hao's lieutenant was Li Daoyan, Li Shentong's eldest son, Luo Yi actually stood up and accepted Li Daoyan's bow.

This is quite a courtesy for a lieutenant general.

Li Daoyan was also polite and saluted without saying a word.

If someone is willing to stand up, it is to give face to his father.

Li Shentong is truly a magical being in today's Tang Dynasty.

There are many brothers in the Li Yuan clan, but this one is the most respected.

There were many princes in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them were county princes.

Only Li Yuan's two sons were granted the title of prince, and only one of his younger brothers was granted the title of prince.

It can be seen that Li Yuan trusts his younger brother.

"My nephew has heard of Duke Yan a long time ago.

My father often said that Duke Yan was a true hero when he used a horse-stem to traverse the land of Yan and Zhao.

My nephew's blood boils just thinking about it.

I am truly lucky to see Duke Yan today. .

If I can get some advice from Duke Yan, my nephew will really benefit from it in this life."

Yunhao's mouth opened into an O shape.

Who didn't know that Young Master Li was the most famous playboy in Chang'an.

If you have eyes on the top of your head, it would be nice if you don't glare at ordinary people with their nostrils.

But I didn't expect that this guy is so good at flattering.

With just these two sentences, Luo Yi over there has already started to show off, and it seems that he has great plans to accept a disciple
