Chapter 153: The Yellow Turban Army (Second Update)
However, this matter is not in a hurry, you can observe Yu Ji's true abilities and motives a little, and then make a decision.
And this time, Yang Wanli's performance is quite satisfactory to Wu Liang, he is a good hand in finding out the news, and his execution is also quite good, so he can use it as a confidant in the future.
Thereupon.
"The old gentleman doesn't think my boat is broken, how can I refuse?"
Wu Liang said with a smile, "But ugly words still need to be said in the head, my boat is not just up and down if you want to get on and down, the old gentleman had better think clearly before making a decision." β
"Childe was willing to mention the old man before, and this time he saved the old man's life, but I am afraid that the old man has already been regarded as a person on the ship, so why do you want to capture the old man now?"
Yu Ji also hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Hahaha......"
Speaking of this, the two suddenly looked at each other and laughed.
It's all in plain sight.
β¦β¦
And then everything was on track.
After waiting for a few days, the finishing work of the tomb of the Marquis of Haiyang had been successfully completed, and Yang Wanli had purchased enough horses and carriages from Yuzhang County.
After the soldiers of the Hsmiling Army loaded all the proceeds of this trip.
The group once again pretended to be a northward migration family and marched in the direction of Yanzhou along the road they had come.
After half a month.
Wu Liang estimated the time.
When I came, because I was not very familiar with the route, and there was no burden, it took me nearly a month and a half to reach Yuzhang County.
Although I brought a lot of things with me on the way back, I had enough horses and wagons to help me, and the speed of travel was much faster.
Therefore, if nothing else, it will take about half a month to return to Juancheng.
In this way, when you arrive in Juancheng, you can just catch up with the Spring Festival.
However, the Han Dynasty did not have the term "Spring Festival", and the Chinese New Year was called "Three Dynasties" at this time.
Many of the customs of later generations started from this time, and the projects probably included sweeping ashes, worshipping the sky, worshipping ancestors, worshipping the New Year, etc., and the head of the family like him also had to prepare some "New Year's money" for the juniors.
However, at this time, the "New Year's money" is not real money.
Rather, some commemorative copper coins with auspicious words, mainly auspicious, unlike later generations, even giving "New Year's money" has become a means of comparing and currying favor with leaders, and the meaning has been distorted.
"When I go back this time, I will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to give a ceremony to the 'beauties' who have become adults, and also make the 'beauties' happy and happy, and find a sense of home in me."
Sitting in the carriage, Wu Liang planned what would happen after he went back.
Speaking of which, after the New Year, it will be a few days before Bao Rou becomes a full adult......
Emmmβ¦β¦ It's a little exciting to think about it.
That's what I thought.
"Wu Youcai, you brought back so much gold this time, you must have made a great contribution, how do you plan to ask Cao Mengde to reward you after you go back?"
Bai Jingjing's little brain didn't know what was going on again, and suddenly asked a question that shouldn't be considered by her.
"What are you asking for?"
Wu Liang came back to his senses and raised his head and asked.
"It's just a casual ask, it doesn't matter if you don't answer."
Bai Jingjing turned her head sideways, looked at the scenery outside the carriage that was gradually moving backwards, and said lightly.
This carriage was driven by Dian Wei, and only Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing sat in the car, and they were not afraid of hearing anything from people who didn't want to do it.
"It's not a good thing to have too much credit......"
Wu Liang pondered for a moment, smiled meaningfully, and said, "But speaking of rewards, my official position should not be able to be promoted in a short period of time, and other rewards have already been rewarded, so I am afraid that Boss Cao will also be embarrassed by this matter, so I decided to take this opportunity to fight for some benefits for the brothers of the Gang Army, firstly, it will not make Boss Cao feel that he owes me, and secondly, it can also make Boss Cao feel that I am winning the hearts of the people for him, so that this matter can be completed." β
"Cao Mengde would be very moved if he knew that you were thinking about him so much."
Bai Jingjing glanced at him and said with some disdain.
It is rare in the world to slap a horse to this level, anyway, Bai Jingjing has never seen such a chicken thief before.
Wu Liang just smiled indifferently, and then said very jumpingly: "Then, I have to apply to Boss Cao to transfer back to Chen Liu, it is not a good thing to get too close to Boss Cao and Boss Cao's family, so it is better to keep a distance, besides, the house I left in Chen is so big, it is more comfortable to live." β
"How big?"
Bai Jingjing asked subconsciously.
"It's at least three times bigger than the current house in Juancheng, and I also planted some flowers and plants in the house with my own hands, which should have frozen to death now, but after the three dynasties, it should sprout again."
Wu Liang said with a smile, "Speaking of three dynasties, Miss Jingjing, you have been away from home for some time, are you homesick now?" β
"Although I think about it, as a Suizhu person, Suihou Zhu is more important than home."
Bai Jingjing's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly perked up again, and said with some self-comfort.
"That's right, in fact, in addition to Sui Hou Zhu, I also have two beads on my body, if Miss Jingjing guards these two beads together, it can also relieve some homesickness."
Wu Liang smiled coquettishly, smiling like a big-tailed wolf.
"Scoundrel!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Jingjing understood this time, and immediately took a sip with a slightly red face, turned her gaze away and ignored him.
It was at this time.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! β
"There's a bad guy blocking the way!"
"Prepare for battle!"
The Yongren army, which was originally silently hurrying, suddenly became chaotic, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves and the shouting of many people came from outside the carriage, and the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Wanli had already rushed over, standing outside the carriage and reporting loudly: "Family master, it's not good!" A gang of horse thieves has stopped us, and I'm afraid it's not good! β
"How many are there?"
Wu Liang had already stepped out of the carriage and asked while looking around.
"There are about 300 people visually, and I haven't figured out whose part it is, so I'm going to talk to their leader!"
Yang Wanli hurriedly said again.
"No need, I'll go myself."
Wu Liang stood on the carriage and had already observed almost.
The group that stopped them did not display their flags, but judging by their very messy clothing and equipment, as well as the formation situation, it should not be a regular army, but a group of rabble that had gathered temporarily.
But the number did exceed three hundred.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, if you really want to fight, the Hingren army with only about 100 people may not be able to bargain, and now the Hingren army carries a lot of supplies, and it will definitely not be able to run away.
Coming to the front of the battle like this, Wu Liang smiled and bowed to the leader on the horse, and said with a smile: "This general, I waited for my relatives to go north and passed by the treasure land, and accidentally disturbed the general's purity. β
Immediately, although the leader was relatively burly, he had a pair of extremely incongruous triangular eyes.
Seeing Wu Liang come up to talk, this person immediately flashed the big knife in his hand, aimed at the dozen or so carriages guarded by the Wanren army, and said pointedly: "I am willing to let you go, but my group of brothers may not be willing!" β
"It's easy to say, I'd like to have a good relationship with the general, but I don't know the general's name."
Wu Liang continued to laugh at the clichΓ©.
"Less nonsense! The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! β
The leader immediately stared at a pair of triangular eyes, pointed to the turban on his head and shouted, "If you want to retreat with your whole body, leave those carriages and horses, and quickly take people away...... Hum! β
I'll go?
It's actually the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?
Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, if it weren't for the leader who said it clearly enough, he really didn't see that the dirty and unsightly turban was actually yellow.
Thinking like this, Wu Liang subconsciously glanced back at Yu Ji, who had just emerged from the carriage.
Old man, these are your disciples and grandchildren.
Don't come out to see each other?
