"Thank you, General, for saving your life. We are willing to cleanse the armor of the officers and soldiers. We only ask to follow the General to fight and kill the enemy!"

Under the anxious night sky, the air was filled with the smell of burnt lake. Where the firelight flickered, a large group of ragged people knelt down and worshiped in front of Liu Cang.

"Chirp~~!" The eagles cried, and the flocks of eagles were circling high in the sky above Liu Cang's head.

In front of Liu Cang, four to five hundred people were kneeling and worshiping. These people were slaves captured by the rebels to work and herd horses for them. The rebels were defeated and panicked, and there were thousands of remaining slaves from various camps and ministries gathered together.

The four to five hundred people in front of them were already fighting with the rebels when Pan Feng discovered them. If they wanted to join the army, they would not be ostracized.

However, the armor-washing people are acting as slave soldiers. These people have resentment in their voices. Even if they are slaves, they will kill the enemy. On the one hand, they hate the rebels. On the other hand, they are probably quite dissatisfied with the long-term inaction of the government and army.

"Get up and talk." Liu Cang frowned and said in front of everyone.

Hu Qiang's attitude towards slaves is much worse than that of the Han people. If the Han people regard slaves as cattle and horses as personal property, then Hu Qiang's attitude towards slaves is not as good as that of cattle and sheep. Sometimes when livestock production is reduced or there is a disaster, slaves are treated as such.

Food, these people's so-called life-saving grace is not an exaggeration.

"General, our little family was killed by the rebels for no reason. Please ask the general to avenge us!" Some people wanted to get up, but a few young men among them still knelt down and shouted, and everyone knelt down again.

Liu Cang frowned and looked at Dong Zhuo, who had already stepped aside. Dong Zhuo ignored him and obviously had no intention of arranging any arrangements for these people.

These people are very troublesome, including both Hu and Han, and they are very murderous. They not only want to kill the enemy, but mainly want the army to hunt down the rebels. Dong Zhuo does not want to get into trouble, and Liu Cang is the one who comes to them.

.

"To suppress the thieves and destroy the enemy, the army has its own arrangements. The anti-thief cavalry comes and goes without a trace, and it takes time to pursue, suppress, and identify them. Your affairs will be reported to the commander-in-chief. You should retreat and settle down first. Don't stay here.

Entanglement." Liu Cang scolded, pulled the tank's reins, and turned to leave.

"General, there are many people in Hanyang County of Longxi who participated in the rebellion and funded the rebels! General, this is the root of the disaster and must be investigated!" Everyone shouted anxiously, but Liu Cang stopped.

"Well? Can you confirm anything related to the rebels?" Liu Cang asked.

"Yes! Xi County Jin family, Chengji Nomadic Ke family." The first person affirmed and looked at the people around him while speaking.

"I also know that there are nomadic tribes who show their relatives and have liaisons with the rebels. I can lead the way for the general."

"A certain person in Shouyang who did not follow the thieves was massacred, and the whole county was in rebellion. There were Hu tribesmen in Xiangwu who had fornicated with the rebels."

"certain.

"

"Shut up!" The people kneeling on the ground shouted one after another. Dong Zhuo was shocked, angrily scolded everyone to stop talking, and then rode Liu Cang forward.

"General Liu, there are many jealous people here. Don't listen to everything you say. Spreading it out will harm the peace of the place. It's not better.

"Dong Zhuo's eyes showed a fierce look, and he lowered his voice to hint at Liu Cang.

Liu Cang looked at Dong Zhuo, then glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Dong Zhuo was very fierce and wanted to kill all the people in front of him, but at this time Liu Cang really couldn't say how bad Dong Zhuo was.

The main reason is that there are too few clean powerful people in Liangzhou, and those whose families were ruined by rebels complained happily. Dong Zhuo's statement that he was worried about local unrest was not alarmist.

Liangzhou is suffering from bitter cold, and it is necessary to guard against the invasion of Hu Qiang outside the Great Wall. Most Han people are unwilling to settle here. The number of Hu Qiang is relatively large, and the folk customs have long formed their own rules. These things are not something Liu Cang can think of and manage today.

"General Dong, don't worry too much, I know the importance." Liu Cang shook his head and turned back to the kneeling people.

"What you say is baseless, how can you convince others? Haha, if you are so aggressive, there will be no good people in Hanyang County alone." Liu Cang shook his head and chuckled.

"Can.

General.

"There were many people in the crowd who showed resentment. A young man at the head gritted his teeth and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu Cang raising his hand.

"In more than a month, in more than a month, there will be a beast disaster in Liangzhou. Have you found any clues?" Liu Cang asked, and everyone was confused.

"There are many nomadic livestock in Liangzhou. The impact of this animal disaster is very serious and we need to pay attention to it. Maybe we can try the method of using animals to control animals." Liu Cang said again. At this time, many people were subconsciously looking at the eagle gliding in the night sky.

group.

Against the background of the unreasonable obedience of many eagles, Liu Cang looked a bit desolate in the moonlight and firelight.

People with twinkling eyes gradually began to appear in the crowd, and Dong Zhuo on the side even twitched the corner of his mouth, with unconcealable suspicion on his face.

"Pan Feng, take them down. Those who are willing to join the army will be given weapons and leather armor, and training will be arranged to defend the camp. In order to prevent the rebels from returning to their horses, we will send an order to return to camp!" Liu Cang shouted, without saying anything else, turned and left.

"Here!" Pan Feng took the order, and the kneeling people stood up one after another, and then there was a low noise.

Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo both said that the villages and counties in Liangzhou were difficult to govern. Taking this opportunity, Liu Cang planned to try to see if he could use some wild animals to create awe in the people of Liangzhou.

As for whether it works or not?

It's okay to be idle, give it a try.

As for the beast disaster, Liu Cang was accompanied by a few lions, tigers, bears, and a wolf cub and a tiger cub.

There were two or three of these kittens, so to say it was an animal disaster is basically nonsense.

But it doesn't matter. To the south, across the Weishui River, there are barren mountains and ridges. Anyway, we probably need to make steady progress in countering the rebellion, so we can go over there and catch some wild animals.

Liu Cang was ready to do this when he was thrown out by Liu Hong. There are also dangerous places for beasts in Liangzhou. But tonight, it seems more "justifiable" to let wild beasts roam in Liangzhou?

Everyone gathered and returned to the city. While Liu Cang remained silent, Dong Zhuo and his party were quiet and looked at Liu Cang quietly. The atmosphere was quite strange.

Below the city, Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang were already waiting for Liu Cang and others to return. Many of the prisoners were shouting for mercy. Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang only regarded Liu Cang as a ferocious killer and were feared by others.

But when they saw the herd led by Liu Cang, Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang were also a little dumbfounded.

The Hu Qiang had little meat and food, especially since the rebels would carry out some plundering. There were many cattle and sheep in the rebel camp, plus the horses left behind after the war, Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang had already prepared to spend a few days gathering them.

However, there were crowds of cattle and sheep in front of him, and he was very peaceful just before the war. Liu Cang harvested thousands of sheep, nearly a thousand chickens, and six hundred cattle during his trip. It was difficult to distinguish the horses from the war horses and the plow horses. The total number was probably two to three thousand.

There were some camps left on the battlefield for Zhang Wen's officers and soldiers to get there first, but Liu Cang's vote probably took away more than half of the livestock left behind by the rebels.

"Uh, Haoxuan, you can't eat all these livestock in your camp for a while. Why don't I sell them to the army at a discount?" Facing Liu Cang's triumphant return, Zhang Wen very wisely did not let Liu Cang hand it over to the battle.

profit.

As Zhang Wen finished speaking, Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong's eyes lit up.

Putting aside the war horses, these cattle and sheep can still be regarded as livestock in normal times, but now the army is rebelling, who has the time to raise them?

If they were placed in the army, they would be slaughtered for military rations before they were fattened. However, Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong had relatively wide access in Liangzhou, so they could buy back the livestock and send them home. It would also be cost-effective to replace them with some grain and grass.

"Haha, how can we let you generals spend money? This will hurt the friendship, and you must not do it." Liu Cang glanced around, Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong both had their thoughts on their faces, Liu Cang smiled and shook his head.

"this.

What about these cattle and sheep?" Liu Cang refused, Dong Zhuo was peaceful, Bao Hong was a little disappointed, and Zhang Wen's face showed joy, but Liu Cang rolled his eyes. This guy doesn't think we want to contribute to the army, right?

"I plan to send all these cattle and sheep back to Luoyang. These lame horses will no longer be able to march. They will be sent back to Luyuan to be raised, which will also save the army." Liu Cang said so easily that everyone could not help but roll their eyes. These horses are individually

You are a strong man, but you lame horse is really not ashamed to say that.

Liu Cang was a bit of a rogue, but Zhang Wen couldn't suppress him, and no one except Zhang Wen dared to suppress him. Everyone could only ignore him except rolling their eyes, but Yuan Pang, who usually kept quiet, stood up at this time.

"There are not many cattle and sheep, but there are not enough. Your deer garden is not as bright as Shanglin Garden." Yuan Pang stood up and dismounted, not afraid of the rhinoceros, and went straight to the tank's head to touch its muzzle.

Tank shook his head in displeasure and made a threatening sound like a snort, shaking his head. Liu Cang quickly stopped Tank, and Yuan Pang stroked Tank's nose with satisfaction.

Yuan Pang suddenly mentioned Shanglinyuan, and after stopping the tank's agitation, Liu Cang couldn't help but frown. What did this old guy mean? Did he hint that Liu Hong would reach out? Or did he plan to kill Liu Hong on his behalf?

"Luoyang is far away from here, and traveling back and forth is troublesome. The war in Liangzhou is difficult to end, and I'm afraid there will be some livestock harvested in the future." Yuan Pang stood in front of the rhino's head and raised his head and said to Liu Cang.

Although he didn't know Yuan Pang's intention, at least his seniority was still there, and it was not easy for Liu Cang to be in a position of superiority in front of Yuan Pang.

He rolled off the tank and stood in front of Yuan Pang. Yuan Pang smiled and nodded with satisfaction before continuing.

"Not far across the river from the east is Chiyang. A branch of the Yuan family is running a ranch there. If you feel at ease, just ask someone to send these livestock to Chiyang first and let them help you graze them for the time being."

Yuan Pang whispered, and Liu Cang suddenly realized.

"Haha, Liu Cang can rest assured when Mr. Lao has spoken, and I will support you." Liu Cang clasped his fists respectfully.

"There is no need to be polite, after all, we are all family members. It is rare that you have not complained about me for not taking care of me. Haha." Yuan Pang said with a smile. Everyone around was surprised. Zhang Wen looked at the two of them, inevitably feeling more sorry for Liu Cang.

Pay some attention to it.
