Chapter 244: Infinite Merit (Part 2)

In Beiwu City, the fire was shining brightly, and the tide of shouting and killing came like a tide.

Tens of thousands of soldiers poured the cannon stones and wood into boiling oil like a heavy rain, flooding the surging crowds, whether they were Han or Hu.

Hu Jun's formation was not moved at all and stood up solemnly.

Similarly, Lu Gao, who was as sharp as snow, looked at the surging tide, stimulating the flesh and blood limbs. After half an hour, another wave of tide retreated like a tide.

After watching, the entire city was covered with Hu Qi, which was covered with the sky and the sun.

At this time, the army was also on the city, resting quietly and preparing for battle.

"Hey, if you capture Yuyang City, you don't mean you can be unscrupulous in Youzhou. A real man will swear to defend the city to the death, and success or failure will be given to God's will." Lu Gao thought so.

"Master, some people wanted to make noise just now, kill them all." A voice interrupted his thoughts, and the deputy general Lu Bo walked over with his armor.

Lu Gao and Lu Bai were both young, about thirty years old. It took several years to seize several counties. They had hope of unifying the Youzhou, but encountered the invasion of the Hu people.

"Who is inside?"

"Some big families, some Taoist monks."

"It's good to kill... the city is stable, and the Hu cavalry cannot attack. You must know that the people are driving up to fight to the death. There are also the new affiliated troops who surrendered to the counties in front. Although these people are not to be sad about death, it means that the hard years in the future are still behind." Lu Gao looked coldly and saw a golden wolf fluttering in the wind on the Hu army's banner.

"The Wolf of Gold is the flag of the newly built Hu people's royal court!" Lu Bo said.

"Golden Wolf, the Hu people are barbaric, hey!"

Just as he spoke, the crowds of people under the city rushed up, but he listened to an order: "Che!"

A dense scattered scattered blood flowers quickly stacked the bodies. In the fireworks and battles, the sun sets, ushering in the colorful clouds of the evening.

Youzhou, a caravan with more than 100 people is not uncommon on the official roads of Youzhou.

Even in this chaotic era, there are still many merchants who trade.

Or it can be said that the Youzhou business road was more prosperous than usual at this time. There were many businessmen who made money from the national crisis. For the sake of the word "profit", how many people have been willing to die since ancient times?

On this day, the weather was stuffy and the vicious sun was hanging high in the sky and baking the ground.

On the yellow avenue, a team of dozens of cars and two or three hundred people was moving on the road.

This is a caravan carrying grain and iron blocks. They often travel to Youzhou. They transport important materials. Along the way, they are not too difficult to pass through, so they are allowed to leave.

Because most of the escorts were armed, although Youzhou was in turmoil and the road was not peaceful, there was no one except the official one who dared to make their ideas.

In addition to the loading of ox carts and horse carts, there is also a spacious cart in this team, pulled by two horses.

The carriage followed two followers riding horses, with a cold face and a burly figure. It looked like someone who had practiced martial arts and had some achievements. Such a person protected the carriage, which shows that the people in the carriage had different identities.

The team was moving slowly and gradually a group of people appeared in front of them.

These people are men, women, old and young. The older people are supported by young people. The adults carry bags, holding children in their hands, or carrying girls. The children sometimes cry a few times. They are not walking fast, but they dare not stop and continue walking forward in this stuffy weather.

I have seen many such scenes along the way. When passing by these people, the people in the team deliberately slowed down their horses and couldn't bear to scold them and rush them.

"Have Zhang He not come back yet?" At this time, a sound came from the carriage in the team. At the same time, the curtain was raised, and the middle-aged man sitting inside poked his head out and asked the knight following the carriage.

"Master, he hasn't come back yet. Have you sent someone to find him?" the knight following the carriage said hurriedly.

"No, he is still very good at it. If he even encounters trouble, sending a few more people there will probably be no help. Wait a little longer."

"Yes, listen to you, Master!" the knight responded.

"If he comes back, let him come and see me immediately." The person in the carriage thought for a while and then gave another reminder.

"Don't worry, lord, I understand." The knight said hurriedly.

Then the curtain of the car was put down by the person inside.

The caravan continued to move on the road. As the Hu people invaded, along the way, they encountered many refugees fleeing on the official road. They dragged their children and daughters on the road, and the team looked very large.

After walking a long way, there are fewer people on the road.

Occasionally, you can see two or three ox carts carrying farm furniture and homes moving forward.

The poor people walking behind.

"...Mom, I'm thirsty..."

"When you arrive at the restaurant in front of the town, I will find you water, okay?"

"Go away quickly. The Hu people ride horses very fast. If they attack here, they will not be able to escape."

The massacre of the Hu people brought great panic to the people.

Even though the Hu cavalry had just occupied Yuyang, the people of the neighboring counties had fled elsewhere.

A young man looked at the scene in front of him and sighed. The rebellion of the Hu people had a great impact. In just one month, 150,000 people had died.

Because the people fleeing everywhere on the road, the young man had to slow down his horse while rushing to the road and hid from pedestrians from time to time. It was very difficult to walk along the way, which made him sweat all over.

When he arrived in front of the refugees, he saw that the road ahead was empty, so he quickly rode his horse and whipped it, and ran towards the caravan that was coming.

"Master Liu, I'm back." The young talent returned to the team and bowed to a middle-aged man in the team and said.

When Master Liu saw him coming back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to him: "Zhang He, you are finally back. The master has asked you just now. After you come back, go see him immediately. Go quickly, don't let the master wait anxiously."

"Yes!" Zhang He heard this and bowed again, immediately heading towards the carriage in front. When he came to the carriage, Zhang He whispered at the car window: "Master, I'm back."

When the people in the carriage heard his words, the curtain of the car was immediately lifted up.

"Get the news?" asked the "master" inside.

"Master, I've got the news."

"What's the situation in Yuyang now? Is it what was said on the road that has been captured by the Hu people?"

"Master, we have contacted the surviving secret line. Yushan was destroyed and massacred. The people in the city, except for the craftsmen, were all massacred by the Hu people. In the civil strife in Yuyang County, the city gate was opened and Hu people flocked in."

"Now the Beiwu Jiedu governor Lu Gao, personally guarding Beiwu City, has been fighting for three days. The Hu people drove the surrendered people of Yuyang County to attack the city by 100,000 people, and most of them were shot and killed. The city was covered with corpses and blood!"

After hearing this, the "Master" was silent for a while and said, "I understand, thank you for your hard work this time."

"Master, then we bring our supplies..."

"I will arrange this matter myself."

"No." During this period, the team continued to move forward, and everyone was silent along the way.

After Zhang He talked to the "Master", he was side by side with Chief Liu. The two were silent and neither spoke.

On the surface, they were a caravans often traveling back and forth between Youzhou, but in fact they were from the Thirteenth Division. Two years ago, they specifically searched for information in Youzhou.

This "master" is a Thirteen-Shi Qianhu, lurking in Youzhou, holding the name of a wealthy businessman.

Thinking back to the refugees I met along the way, they were full of fear and fear. Their home had to be abandoned. In order to escape, they had to drag their children and daughters to escape to the rear.

Even the Thirteenth Section people were originally in this business, but they gradually became cold-hearted. When they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel pity.

"Master, there is a small wood in front of you. Let's go and rest for a while?" At this time, there was an open space in front of you, surrounded by a sparse forest. When Director Liu saw that everyone in the team was tired, he came to the "Master"'s carriage and asked.

"Master" looked ahead and nodded.

So Commander Liu ordered the team to take a break in front.

During this period, someone had brought the five carrier pigeons he brought with him.

"Have the letter paper been put in place?" asked the "Master".

"Master, you've installed it." He said, carrying the five carrier pigeons.

"Yeah, let it go together!"

"promise."

With a command, the five carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew towards the sky, all in the same direction.

"I hope the news can be transmitted back in time." The middle-aged man, like a businessman, raised his head and looked at the direction of the carrier pigeon. At this moment, he showed the sharp eyes of the intelligence officer.

"Stay for a while and hurry on your way again." The middle-aged man said as he instructed.

A small town hundreds of miles away from Beiwu City, a hidden courtyard, a few carrier pigeons fell on that day.

These carrier pigeons looked exhausted, with their feathers fluttering, and as soon as they fell, they were croaking.

"Oh, is there any news?" Hearing the voice of the carrier pigeon, a man in green robe walked out of the room quickly and saw the carrier pigeon falling on the windowsill at a glance.

The carrier pigeon seemed to be well-trained. When he saw an acquaintance, he immediately flew over and landed directly on the man in the green robe.

The man in green robe reached out to stroke the pigeon twice, untied the small tube containing the letter paper from the pigeon's legs, and took the letter paper out of the tube.

The fruit is marked with a sign of 100,000 yuan.

Seeing the sign, this person did not dare to delay, so he quickly spread the letter carefully and looked down.

Just after scanning the content above, the man's expression immediately changed: "There is a big deal in Youzhou!"

It turned out that the carrier pigeon was delivered, which was the news that came from Youzhou not long ago.

Although the carrier pigeon is wonderful, it cannot travel thousands of miles. The Thirteenth Division adopts segmented transmissions, and each segment has a connection with the carrier pigeon. In this way, the stability and security of the information are guaranteed.

The matter was urgent, and the man in blue immediately walked into the room and copied five copies according to the contents on the letter.

Five carrier pigeons were taken out from the cage in the next room, and five pieces of information were tied to the legs of the carrier pigeons and released them away.

Even if the transmission is carried out in segments, if only one pigeon is used to deliver the letter, the pigeon will have an accident on the road and will delay major events. Therefore, when sending this information, you will often use more than three pigeons to deliver the letter at the same time to ensure that there will be no problems.

"Sir, has something big happened?" At this time, a young man came in from outside and happened to see the man letting out a carrier pigeon. Seeing that his face was solemn, the young man couldn't help asking.

"Just just got the news, the Hu people began to attack Youzhou. They have now captured Yuyang and massacred the city in Yushan." The man in the green robe said with a serious face: "Now he is attacking Beiwu City again."

"Is there such a thing? If Youzhou is captured by the Hu people, wouldn't the Central Plains let the Hu people go straight into?"
