Although Xiuning County is not a big city, it plays an extremely important role in Shezhou - granary.

Shezhou was an important grain producing area in the Wu and Zhou dynasties. However, due to the geographical environment and climate, if the grain was stored for a long time, it would be easy to rot. Xiuning County was an exception. Because of its high terrain and whether it was covered by hills, the climate of Xiuning County was relatively dry. Later, the court decided to set up the official warehouse of Shezhou in Xiuning County, Technically, this is no problem. After all, the cost of manually maintaining the storage conditions in the official warehouse is always higher. It's better to adjust measures to local conditions. Anyway, the grain in the official warehouse will not move under normal circumstances, which is regarded as war preparation grain.

As philosophy says, things always have two sides, and can be transformed under certain conditions. It is good to have official warehouses in Xiuning County, but at present, these official warehouses have brought disaster to the people of Xiuning County.

The Holy Father Fang La had an accident. In a twinkling of an eye, he went to Suzhou. There were many soldiers and horses under his command. It is said that there were tens of thousands. This man ate horses and chewed. How can he have enough grain in the official warehouse of Suzhou? As the saying goes, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers. It is difficult to make people work hard with an empty stomach just by relying on those doctrines. In order not to let their team break up because of lack of food and grass, Fang La obeyed the meaning of a general and sent troops directly to Shezhou in order to provide food and grass for Shezhou.

However, the official warehouse of Shezhou is not in the city, but built in Xiuning County. After receiving the accurate news, the red scarves under the holy Duke almost burst into laughter. A small county is not readily available. It is really the food and grass sent by the imperial court. If you don't take it, you will waste the imperial court's efforts.

As a result, the five thousand red scarves finally surrounded Anning county at night. The leading general was Baoguang monk Deng Yuanjue, a native of Shezhou.

At this time, Li Luoyang, who was ready to go out, did not know that the people surrounding Xiuning County were the red scarf army, let alone that the leader was Baoguang monk Deng Yuanjue. If he heard this name, he would feel strange, just because in the official history, the red scarf army had never had a leader surnamed Deng or a name related to "Baoguang", It is said that this Baoguang mage Deng Yuanjue should be a character in literary and artistic works, but in the world of Li Luoyang, it actually appears, and the summoned weapon is a Zen stick, which weighs more than 50 kg.

Led by Deng Yuanjue, a master, it is almost certain that the five thousand red scarf army will beat Xiuning County. However, since the red scarf army has been dispatched, it will never be satisfied with the appetite of beating a county and guided by the military thought of Shenggong fangla, What the red scarf army likes to do most is to force those people who have no homes to join their team by setting fire to their houses. It has to be said that this method was effective some time before the red scarf Army started, as can be seen from the soaring number of troops and horses of the red scarf army.

It can be said that Fang La's incident in Suzhou caught the imperial court unprepared. Where are the arrogant red scarf army opponents of those already decadent local armies, so it made the red scarf army connect several cities in the early stage and shocked the world.

As a general under Fang La's command, Deng Yuanjue not only has excellent martial arts, but also has a certain ability in command. In addition, the garrison of Xiuning County has no intention to fight. Therefore, less than three hours after launching the siege at night, the red scarf Army stood on the wall. At the same time, some scattered red scarf army teams were sent out to look for the scattered people outside the city with Xiuning County as the core, Try to "persuade" them to join Manichaeism and become a member of the "glorious and great" red scarf army. Of course, this persuasion is somewhat violent and bloody. Those who are unwilling to take the initiative to join will not only burn down their homes, but also be killed by the crazy red scarf army as a "remnant of the Wu Zhou Dynasty".

At the entrance of the village where the three of Li Luoyang lived, a team of soldiers and horses soon appeared. In fact, it is more suitable to say that they are soldiers and horses than a group of bandits. People in their fifties only have five or six horses, and they can barely see what they wear and hold in their hands. Those soldiers who came on foot look like old farmers in the field, and they don't even have unified military uniforms, The weapons in hand are even more varied.

As soon as the scattered troops rushed into the village, they began to shout and ask everyone in the village to concentrate. If they can't concentrate within a incense burning time, they will start to kill.

At this time, Li Luoyang had already retreated into the dense forest at the edge of the village and observed in the dark.

Xiao Hui is also alert enough, otherwise Li Luoyang may be trapped in the village. Li Luoyang secretly observed those people with red scarves on their heads and whispered in his heart, "isn't this bad luck?"

"Master, let's go quickly. There's nothing to see. Since fangla's people have gone to Shezhou and want to take Xiuning County, I think we want to go to Luoyang. I'm afraid we have to find another way." Xiao Hui chattered in the dark, but he didn't see Li Luoyang's face becoming more and more angry.

"Madmen, they are all madmen!"

"Master, how" found something wrong with Li Luoyang. Xiao Hui quickly turned to look at the village. As a result, his eyes were immediately red with the dazzling scene and excitement.

"How can they do this?" Li Luoyang's fist was suddenly clenched. As a Chinese, what Li Luoyang couldn't stand most was the honest Chinese people who were trapped in a war that could not see victory.

From Li Luoyang's point of view, there is no chance of winning the Manichaeism uprising. After all, few people under Fang La have really read books. To say an ugly thing, even if Fang La has a good command art and meets a group of generals who can't even write their own names, who can guarantee that they won't misinterpret Fang La's meaning?

Several houses in the middle of the village suddenly burst into flames. The village was gnashing its teeth to negotiate with the red scarf army, but it was cut off by the impatient red scarf army general.

"These animals!"

Looking at the village Zheng who got along well with himself, Li Luoyang suddenly thought of the old Zheng family. If the red scarf army wants the old Zheng family to make trouble with them, they will die in the future.

The people of the red scarf army did not feel angry or sorry after killing Murakami. Instead, they seemed very excited. They loudly attributed Murakami to the bureaucrats of the corrupt imperial court and thought that the killing was good and wonderful! After the excitement, the red scarf army finally remembered the purpose here. They began to drive people out door to door and clean up their finances at the same time.

If anyone doesn't want to say it or won't say it, it doesn't matter. The red scarf army may not want its good head immediately and will set its house on fire!

This scene made Li Luoyang feel unbearable!
