10days ago Xuanhuan Novels 10
With his order, a group of independent soldiers quickly got off the horses, took off their flying claws from the horse, walked to the foot of the city wall, and threw them onto the top of the city. After they grabbed the flying claws, the soldiers pulled the ropes and climbed up the city wall with agility.

There is indeed no one on the city wall. Looking into the city, it is empty. There is no pedestrian on the streets in broad daylight. The huge Qingzhou City is like a dead city.

The soldiers didn't care so much, they walked along the city wall and then worked together to move the latch of the city gate, opened the gate, and let their own teams enter the city.

Due to Yi An's cunning, Wu Tianjiao was more careful this time and did not dare to go in hastily. He first sent some soldiers into the city to investigate. After confirming that there were no ambushes, he ordered the entire army to enter the city.

Of course, Qingzhou City cannot be an empty city, but it is true that the people in the city are hiding at home and not daring to come out. When the two armies are fighting and the war is in chaos, who dares to stroll on the street?

After Wu Tianjiao entered the city, he looked around the street and saw that the doors and windows of the shops were closed tightly.

He took a deep breath, turned around and shook his head to Li Suhua behind him, and ordered: Bring some people from this city over!

yes!

Li Suhua agreed, turned over and dismounted, walked forward two steps along the street, stopped in front of a larger house, and then reached out to lock the door.

Dong, Dong, Dong!

The sound of her smashing the door seemed extremely harsh in the dead city. After knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door.

Li Suhua frowned slightly, took a step back, then lifted her legs and kicked her feet. With a dull bang, the big wooden door of the house opened, and the wooden door latch inside was shaken into two pieces.

While the door was kicking open, a scream came from inside. Li Suhua looked up and saw, "Okay, there were a group of people standing around the courtyard of the house, including men and women, old and young, obviously a whole family."

At this time, people looked pale and ugly, with panic expressions. Looking at Li Suhua and other Red Dragon Iron Guards outside the door, they were so scared that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Since they are all in the yard, why are you pretending to be deaf? Li Suhua strode into the yard, shook his head at the family, and said: Everyone comes out with my aunt!

The female general spared her life, the female general spared her life, and as Li Suhua entered the yard, they all shivered and clattered, and they knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

What are they doing? They didn't want to kill them! Li Suhua's beautiful eyebrows frowned deeper, and she shouted in a sweet voice: Everyone stand up and go out with me!

The family didn't know what she intended, so they just thought she was going to kill someone. No one dared to stand up and kept kowtowing to mercy.

Li Suhua didn't have the patience to waste time with them, turned around and shook his head at the Chilong Iron Guard and said: Pull them all out!

The Red Dragon Iron Guards agreed and stepped forward together. Regardless of the crying of the men, women, young and old, they dragged them out of the yard one by one.

Soon, they were taken to Wu Tianjiao's horse by the Chilong Iron Guard.

Wu Tianjiao looked down at everyone. When he saw this family, he was so scared that he curled up into a group. He was puzzled. He was not a vicious person. Why were the people of Qingzhou City so afraid of their soldiers?

What he didn't know was that Yi Anzhi had long described the Independence Army as a flood beast, calling it a tiger and wolf army, killing people like numb, and they were all bloodthirsty demons as life-thirsty as life.

Under Yi'an's repeated publicity, the people of Qingzhou City gradually became afraid and panic about the Independence Army.

Wu Tianjiao's eyes fell on an old man in the crowd and asked with a smile: Old man, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you and your family. I just want to know where the prefecture is and where the granary is?

The old man plucked up his courage to look up at Wu Tianjiao, then hurriedly lowered his head and said tremblingly: Old... I don't know...

Isn't it ridiculous that the people in Qingzhou City don't know where the prefecture and grain warehouse are?

Before Wu Tianjiao could speak, Li Suhua glared at the phoenix eye, reached out to grab the old man's neck, and said angrily: Our Independence Army came to eliminate Shura Dazi, but you are all protecting Shura Dazi everywhere. What is your intention? Are you still the Dragon?

The old man was lifted up by her, and his feet were almost off the ground. How could he hear what she was saying? His old face turned red and he seemed to be angry at any time.

Seeing this, the family members around the old man knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, and for a while

Wu Tianjiao was also secretly angry with these people. He suppressed his anger and stopped Li Suhua. Then his eyes turned and fell on a little girl about ten years old. He bent down, grabbed the little girl's armpit, lifted it up, put it on the horse's back, and let her sit in front of him. He smiled and said: Little sister, tell me how to get to the prefecture!

The little girl looked at Wu Tianjiao curiously. Although her parents said that the Independence Army killed people without blinking, she didn't think Wu Tianjiao looked like a bad person no matter how she looked.

Of course, this is mainly because Wu Tianjiao has a flattering face, not only handsome, but also smiling naturally. When he hides the evil spirit, his smile looks even more amiable, with white and pointed tiger teeth showing the corners of his mouth, which makes him look a little more cute

The little girl was immediately shocked when she was held by him, but she quickly calmed down in his smile. She looked at Wu Tianjiao straight and whispered: Mom said you are bad guys...

Wu Tianjiao said with a smile: We are not bad people, we are the ones who beat the bad people.

Really?

certainly!

Then do you kill someone?

Kill only bad people!

Grandpa, grandma, father and mother are all good people, and I am!

Wu Tianjiao was amused by her words: So I won’t kill you, but I will protect you

If so... I will take you to the prefecture! The child was moved by Wu Tianjiao's words without any intention.

However, the little girl's family was sweating coldly. Regardless of whether the Independence Army would kill them or not, if the Independence Army was led to the prefecture and let Governor Yi Anzhi know about this, it would be a serious crime to exterminate the clan!

Before they could say anything to stop the little girl, Wu Tianjiao had already urged the war horse and shouted: Let's go!

With the guidance of the little girl, Wu Tianjiao and his group rushed to the front of the palace gate. They saw that the palace gate was closed, and it was quiet inside, and there was no sound.

Wu Tianjiao turned his head and didn't have to say anything. Xiong Da, Kuang Meng and others around him all came forward, knocked open the door of the mansion, and broke into the mansion.

Everyone searched carefully in the prefecture. Not to mention that they could not find Governor Yi Anzhi, even a servant or guard's shadow did not see everyone returning one after another, and replied to Wu Tianjiao, indicating that there was no one in the prefecture.

Wu Tianjiao was not surprised. Since Yi Anzhi had abandoned the city, his family must have escaped secretly.

He waved to everyone, signaled them to return, then looked down at the little girl leaning on his arms, and asked: Little sister, where is the grain warehouse?

Just not far ahead! The little girl pointed to the left side of the state capital

Wu Tianjiao nodded, raised his hand and rubbed the girl's little head. At the same time, he knocked his feet and ran over with his horse.

Soon, Wu Tianjiao and his group arrived at the warehouse again. Before they could get close, Wu Tianjiao's heart was already cold. Because he saw the iron door of the warehouse open from a distance. When he got close, he looked at it again. As expected, there was nothing in the spacious warehouse. Not to mention food, even the treasury silver was transported, leaving only weeds and scattered garbage.

Damn Yi Anzhi!

After seeing it, Wu Tianjiao's hatred was itchy. Now that his food and grass were destroyed, and there was no accumulation of grain in the prefecture city, what should I do? Could it be that I was really forced to retreat?

But when I thought about it, Wu Tianjiao smiled again. There was no food in the warehouse, so there must be food in the people's homes, right?

Qingzhou City is so big and there are so many people in the city. If the grain from each household is concentrated, it will be enough for the army to use it.

Wu Tianjiao sent an order and posted a notice, and the whole city collected grain and grass, but the people in Qingzhou City were so scared that they dared not go out. When the notice was posted, no one could see it, and no one came to pay the grain. Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao planned to use compulsory means to collect grain from house to house.

At this moment, Wu Hongshuang led more than a dozen Tianluo's spies to Qingzhou City and rode a horse to see Tang Yin. She first bowed and bowed, and then asked: Your Highness, are you going to collect grain in the city now?

Wu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows. As the head of his intelligence agency, Wu Hongshuang was unaware of the enemy's movements and knew everything about his actions, which made people angry and funny.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: That's right! Our army's logistics supplies were attacked by the enemy, and most of the food and grass were burned down. If we didn't collect grain, what would so many soldiers in our army eat?

Then... can someone pay the food now?

No one handed over food

Then what are you going to do?

Wu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes and said with a slight slightest: The army cannot have no food for a day. Even if it is necessary to use coercive means, it must collect enough food!

Wu Hongshuang couldn't help but secretly fight the cold war, not because of Wu Tianjiao's decision, but because of Zhao Liangcai's prediction.

The reason why she hurried to Qingzhou City was that she was assigned by Zhao Liangcai. What she was most worried about was that after Wu Tianjiao captured Qingzhou, she would use force to collect grain.

She swallowed and whispered: Tianjiao, before I came, Lord Zhao repeatedly reminded me to prevent you from using compulsory means to collect grain

Oh? Wu Tianjiao was stunned. How did Zhao Liangcai know that he was going to collect food and grass? How did he know that he would use coercive measures?

Seeing his face showing confusion, Wu Hongshuang explained: Lord Zhao said that when our army went east, the most worried about was the shortage of food and grass. Once the food and grass were in trouble, his highness would collect grain. Tianyuan County had always been controlled by the Shura people. The people lived in a difficult situation, and there would not be too much food for each family. Moreover, it was influenced by the public opinion of the Shura people, and it would inevitably have prejudice against our army. If you collect grain, probably not many people would pay the grain. With your personality, you might then use force to collect grain. In this way, you will fall into the trap of the enemy!
