The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

"Huh? But what?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It was Zhu Yan, the deputy general of the West City Gate, who died in the battle."

"What? Zhu Yan died in battle? How did he die when such a brave man died in battle?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

It stands to reason that it is normal for people to die in this kind of war, and no one can say that they can't survive. However, as Qin Donglai's deputy, Zhu Yan has always been known for his bravery.

Moreover, Zhu Yan was brought out by Lu Yuan and served as Lu Yuan's personal guard for two years.

"When we found him, only his upper body was left. He must have been directly hit by a trebuchet." Deputy General Sun Wei said unnaturally.

Because this is really unlucky. Most of the people who died in the battle were caused by the fighting between the two sides during the city defense battle. In fact, many people were killed by the masonry thrown up by the stone bullets.

But there were no more than ten people who were directly hit by the trebuchet, but Zhu Yan was one of them, which was unlucky.

"Hey, this is the fate of a soldier. Not only him, but also you and I will die in the battle I don't know what day. Let's bury it properly!" Lu Yuan was a little depressed. No matter what, Zhu Yan followed him for ten years. It’s coming year.

At the end of the short period in Dingyuan City, there began to be a situation again in the direction of Pingyang County.

Early in the morning, Magistrate Wang received several reports of villages around Pingyang County being looted.

This made Wang Hui, the parent official of the county, angry and anxious, but there was no way. It was impossible to rely on the 5,000 people in the county to besiege the more than 30,000 people in Rongdi.

If that's the case, I really don't know who should block whom.

Magistrate Wang had a sad look on his face, looking towards the direction of the recently looted village, because the other party was going beyond Dingyuan City to go deep into the hinterland to carry out raids and robberies, and what they wanted was speed.

Therefore, it was impossible to evacuate with the captured people, so there was only one way to do it, which was to massacre.

Fortunately, most of the surrounding people have evacuated to the south, and the only ones left in the village are the widowed and lonely old people.

"This group of barbarians and beasts are born with no humanity. Such a race should be completely exterminated." Magistrate Wang slapped his right hand hard on the city wall with hatred on his face.

Liu Wenshan, who was standing next to him, said: "This is war, and it is also inevitable for the survival of the race. Where there are people, there will be disputes. You know this truth, so for my country, Dali, all I can do is kill the enemy." .”

"Hey, the people are suffering. I started to learn to read when I was five years old. The first character my father taught me was the Chinese character human. In the beginning, human nature is good. But there are constant disputes in the world."

"Okay, brother, please don't lament here. Just do as I say and kill them so that they don't get scared. It's just that the current situation in the court makes me and other generals feel chilled."

Liu Wenshan was very dissatisfied when he thought of the current situation in the court where both the civil and military parties had to care about the gains and losses of both parties over matters as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. The military was greatly restricted, and the court was still the exclusive domain of civilian officials.

As a military commander, I can't fully display my ambitions. Otherwise, at the age of over fifty, with great military achievements and the support of my family, how can I be a moderate captain of ten thousand men?

After everyone in the cave had breakfast, Uncle Zhao was preparing to go out again to inquire about news about the county.

"Second uncle, be careful on the road. Now you have to be careful not only of Rong Di, but also of those who take advantage of the situation." Zhao Yunxi reminded.

"Okay, my second uncle will be careful." After saying that, he walked outside.

"Xiaojiu, I don't know how long we have to stay here. This damn war, can't we all live in harmony? What's the good of fighting and killing?" Wang Junyao complained.

Regarding Wang Junyao's complaints, Zhao Yunxi could only shake his head. Not to mention ancient times like the Dali Kingdom, even in his previous life, civilization had been so developed, and wars between countries were frequent. Afternoon

Uncle Zhao came back and brought news that many villages around the county were looted.

After hearing the news, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change. Sure enough, what was supposed to come had come.

Although Shatian Village is not far from the county seat, almost all the villages that were looted were north of the county seat, and Shatian Village was located in the south of the county seat, so it was temporarily spared.

But the probability of being looted is still very high. According to this situation, the villages and towns around Pingyang County may suffer. Fortunately, no one was left in Shatian Village, and the villagers tried their best to take away everything they could.

What Uncle Zhao didn't know was that less than half an hour after he returned, thousands of Rongdi cavalry followed his way back to Shatian Village.

"Chief, there is a village ahead, and there are fresh hoof marks of a horse on the road. It seems that a horse has just passed by." Scout Rong Di reported.

"Warriors, do you hear this? There is a village ahead. It's time for us to get rich. Come on, grab money, food, and women." The leader of the Thousand-Man Team roared.

As the leader spoke, the Rongdi soldiers under his command roared and rushed towards Shatian Village.

When these thousand cavalrymen rushed into Shatin Village, they didn't meet anyone. After a search, they found that every house had been evacuated in advance.

The leader was so angry that he ordered the entire Shatian Village to be burned down, and the Zhao family's house was not able to escape. Now, the house had to be rebuilt.

Fortunately, Zhao Yunxi's second uncle learned about the looting of other villages in the county, so he did not leave the horse in the village, but took it back to the mountains behind.

"Chief, there should be some people hiding in the mountains behind this village. The Dali Kingdom is like our northern grasslands. In these places, they like to hide in the mountains when they encounter military disasters." Waiting reported.

"Forget it, this mountain is not small. We only have a thousand people, so we shouldn't stay for a long time. If the army breaks through Dingyuan City, Pingyang County will be our target sooner or later. Let's continue searching." The leader ordered.

In fact, when this group of Rongdi cavalry arrived at Shatian Village, they were discovered by Uncle Zhao who was squatting in the back mountain. However, nothing could be done.

He could only watch the whole village being burned and his house being destroyed, and he was so anxious that tears flowed down his face.

Everyone in the cave looked at Uncle Zhao who came in crying and asked hurriedly what happened.

"Father, mother, our village was burned down by those damn Rongdi barbarians, and our home is gone." Uncle Zhao said sadly.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Our Lao Zhao family is gone?" At this moment, Lao Zhao's head was trembling all over.

"No, Dad, our house was burned down too."

"Uh-huh."

Old Zhao was speechless for a long time, and suddenly his body fell backwards.

"father"

"Old man."

"Aweng."

Everyone hurriedly supported Lao Zhaotou, and several sons carried him to the paved floor.

Under the intense comfort and rescue efforts of everyone, Lao Zhaotou gradually came to his senses. After he came to, he spurted out another mouthful of blood, scaring everyone again.

"Don't panic, everyone, Aweng is so angry that he just needs to vomit out the blood and it will be fine." Zhao Yunxi explained hurriedly.
