Chapter 16 Besiege and kill Zeng Yu
Liu Li's three cannon fodders, A, B and C, were waiting on the road, and when they saw the two Jiuyuan Communists who had just gone to invite people coming over from a distance, and there was one more person beside them, they knew that the matter was done, and hurriedly greeted them.
When Zhu Wen saw them coming, he didn't know each other, so he turned his head to look at the two Jiuyuan Parties, and the two of them naturally perfunctory, saying that they were both people who admired Wang Qing, and they invited him to a banquet together, hoping that he would be introduced in the future.
Zhu Wen also did not doubt him, thinking that Wang Qing's popularity in the cottage was so high, and so many people worshipped him, he was also happy for him in his heart, and at the same time, he thought that with his own force, he would definitely be worthy of him in the future.
Several people walked up the mountain together, and when they arrived at the place, everything was ready, Zhu Wen saw the wine jar placed next to him, walked up, slapped the mud with one palm, poured a big sip into his mouth first, and shouted: "Refreshing!" ”
The three cannon fodder armors, some compliments, Zhu Wen drank very happily, and in a short time, he had already drunk two jars alone. Because there were not many opportunities to drink in Qianlong Village before, although he was really good at drinking, but after exercising at the wine table and drinking two jars, he was slightly drunk, thinking that Zeng Yu asked him not to drink too much, thinking that it was time to go. But anyone who drinks knows that this is the time when you are not drunk, and that is when you have the most pleasure drinking.
Zhu Wen shook the jar, confirmed that it was empty, put the empty altar to the side, and said: "It's almost over today, thank you for your hospitality, next time I will invite you to eat meat and drink wine." ”
The cannon fodder armor next to him hurriedly stopped, "Brother Chengyong, why are you in such a hurry, isn't there still wine next to you." ”
said that, he hurriedly picked up an unopened jar and patted it open for Zhu Wenman. Zhu Wen saw that he was pouring him full of wine again, and he, who was already about to get up, took back his tiptoes.
The cannon fodder armor next to him gave the other two partners color, and the three of them toasted Zhu Wen one after another, so as to entangle him.
After a while, the first altar was solved again, and Zhu Wen completely forgot that he had to go back to protect Zeng Yu earlier, and he reopened another altar.
At this time, cannon fodder B suddenly covered his stomach and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I can't drink as much as everyone, go to the toilet first, don't wait for me, you drink first." After saying that, he ran away with his stomach in his hands.
"Haha~haha~haha~" Zhu Wen and the two Jiuyuan Dang looked at him and hurriedly ran away, pointed at his back and laughed.
"Regardless of him, this kid has never been like this again, it's not as large as Brother Chengyong's, let's continue. Come, **** Gray Jia knew that cannon fodder B was going back to deliver a letter to Liu Li, so he hurriedly raised the sea bowl and said to Zhu Wen.
"!" Zhu Wen and the others drank it all again.
Cannon fodder B left the wine bureau and went straight to Liu Li to report the situation. Liu Li heard that Zhu Wen had already drunk three jars, and knew that it was already time, so he asked his soldiers to gather his subordinates. Because Liu Li originally had more than 80 subordinates who joined Zhou Cang with him, and then Zhou Cang assigned some people to him, put together a team of 100 people, and later collected some people by himself, adding up to more than 120 people.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, people by groups, originally Liu Li's people were not considered civilians, not the kind of people who fell into the grass when they were cornered, but the master who could kill people and set fire for a few taels of silver. Other people mixed with them, even if it turned out to be a simple civilian, but now it has been assimilated, so Liu Li is not afraid of exposure at this time, and gathers everyone, of course, let the old man from before him stare at the point and join later, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
After the team gathered, Liu Li looked at them and said, "Brothers, Zhou Cang is not benevolent, he doesn't take care of us cottage elders, but he trusts the newcomer. I originally wanted to seek justice for everyone, but my strength was not good, and I was plotted by Wang Qing's thief. It's nothing for me to be wronged, but I'm afraid that after the cottage, it will become the world of Wang Qing's group, and when the time comes, it will not be just me who will be wronged, but everyone. I was appreciated by the leader of Huanglongzhai and said that if I defected to the past, I could give me a team of 500 people. I plan to take everyone down the mountain to Huanglongzhai today, are you willing to follow me? ”
"When the centurion said Huanglongzhai, do you mean the Huanglongzhai on Yangtou Mountain?" Someone asked.
"Yes, Master Baili, the Huanglong Village you are talking about is not the largest Huanglong Village in the vicinity?"
"Ah, the most powerful Huanglong Village in the vicinity, I heard that there are more than 10,000 people in their cottage, and we went to the past, it must be better than this small Woniu Cottage."
"Yes, when the people of Huanglongzhai go to other cottages, the other party has to offer to the uncle, and I heard that like the Golden Bull Village, they have to pay tribute to them every month."
"It's so powerful, why haven't I heard of it?" Some young, people who have just entered the cottage asked.
"It's normal for you not to know, our big boss is ignorant, the last time the people from Huanglongzhai came over and asked us to pay tribute every month, and the big boss drove the other party out. Huanglongzhai made a statement to make us look good, and because of this, the Jinniuzhai next to us dared to provoke us and kill some of our brothers. Someone next to him explained to the young man.
Liu Li looked at his subordinates and heard that they were going to Huanglongzhai, they were all excited, and from time to time they cast a look of admiration at themselves, and his heart was very useful, and he said loudly: "You guessed right, it is the Huanglongzhai of Yangtou Mountain, I got acquainted with a thousand commanders in the cottage before, and the adult saw that I fit his personality and asked me to go to him and be a deputy in his team." ”
"We listen to the centurion, and we are willing to go to Huanglongzhai with us." The men all agreed.
"Okay, it's not in vain that I usually take care of you. However, I have one more thing to attend to before I can go down the mountain. ”
Everyone didn't speak, looked at Liu Li, and waited for him to say what was going on, of course, some people had already guessed.
"What's going on, I think some of you have already guessed it. That's right, it's revenge, Wang Qing is not in the cottage now, but Zeng Yu is still here. Let's go and kill him, take his head, as a vote for defecting to Huanglongzhai, so maybe you can get the appreciation of the big boss of Huanglongzhai, maybe I will be promoted to a thousand-commander, and then you, as my descendants, can also mix up a position and receive some younger brothers. Liu Li continued, he still longed for a beautiful ideal in his heart, but he didn't know if it was equivalent between reality and ideal.
But these words aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and everyone associated killing Zeng Yu with the reward. Everyone yelled, "Kill Zeng Yu ~ Kill Zeng Yu ~ "
"Okay, now there are four teams of people, I will personally lead one team, and the others will be led by my three personal soldiers, scatter and advance, surround Zeng Yu, be sure not to let him escape." Liu Li raised his hand, pressed it down, and then asked everyone to divide the troops and advance, not about thirty people, he himself led a team of people to Zeng Yu's house.
At this time, it was almost dark, and their actions did not attract the attention of others, firstly, there were not many people left behind in the cottage, and there were only four or five hundred people in Liu Li, and secondly, it was night, and everyone mainly paid attention to the outside of the cottage, but they did not expect that there would be civil unrest.
Liu Li and the others came to the outside of Zeng Yu's house without danger, and at this time, Zeng Yu was recalling some of the techniques he learned from later generations, including papermaking, gunpowder, etc., how he made these things, and was writing them down, afraid that he would forget them later, and at the same time thought that with the team of Woniu Cottage, plus the people and horses of Jinniu Village, and then draw out the young and strong to train into soldiers, and others will be engaged in the work of clearing wasteland.
His idea is that there are not many soldiers, and in this era of the Three Kingdoms, to deal with these fallen grasses, leading an army that orders to stand still, like an arm, can definitely easily defeat ten times the number of bandits he has, and the loss is very small.
As soon as he finished writing papermaking and was still recalling the formula of gunpowder, he suddenly thought that Zhu Wen had not come back yet, and he said that he should let Zhu Wen drink less, it seems that he forgot his advice.
Zeng Yu stopped the pen in his hand and walked out, suddenly, he suddenly had a feeling of shock, as if he was in danger, he hurriedly called someone in.
"You go find Chengyong and call him back." Zeng Yu commanded.
"Yes!"
"Wait, a few of you guys are warning nearby, have you found anything unusual?" The soldier was about to turn around, but was stopped by Zeng Yu again.
"Back to my lord, the small one has two ten-person teams patrolling nearby, and I didn't find anything abnormal, but just now a brother said that he saw Centurion Liu Li personally leading the team to patrol the side." The soldier replied.
"What do you say? Liu Li personally led the team, not good, quickly let the two ten-person team members on patrol come over, and notified the big boss to send someone to support, Liu Li wanted to rebel. ”
As soon as Zeng Yu heard that Liu Li was personally patrolling, he knew that it was not good. Everyone knows that Liu Li's injury is just right now, and he is not so rigorous, he usually lets his men go down on patrols, and he rests at his residence. Now at this time, it is no wonder that he is patrolling in person. Seeing that he was patrolling near him just now, he must have come on his own, and inviting Zhu Wen to drink at noon is probably also a step in their plan, first to lure Zhu Wen away, and then deal with themselves.
"Ah, no, why did Centurion Liu Li send it?" The soldiers were still reluctant to believe what Zeng Yu said.
"Go and call someone, why do you want to rebel, you can ask Liu Li himself later." Zeng Yu shouted.
"Yes, I'll go." When the soldier heard Zeng Yu angry, he hurriedly answered, and then ran out to call someone.
Zeng Yu saw the soldier leave and walked to his bedroom. There was an iron-tired bow in the bedroom, which he had brought down from Qianlong Village. This bow used to be used by Wang Qing's father, and the bow name was Jinghong, and it was a three-stone bow. Because Wang Qing likes hand-to-hand combat, his interest in marksmanship is far greater than that of archery, and Zeng Yu has been good at archery since he was a child, so Wang Qing's father gave Zeng Yu this kind of bow when he went down the mountain.
Zeng Yu took the bow off, and then took the bowstring out of his baggage. The bowstring is made of raw cowhide, and it is usually taken from the bow when it is not used. Zeng Yu skillfully put on the bowstring, took the quiver, and walked out.
When other people patrolling near Zeng Yu heard the news, they had already rushed over at this time, and they were also taken aback when they saw the bow and arrow that Zeng Yu was holding. Although the scholars at this time were all able to use one or two hands in archery, the six arts of the gentleman - etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which archery refers to archery. But most of the scholars are only beginners in archery, and they can't talk about killing enemies at all. And Zeng Yu's bow, at first glance, the bow body is not an ordinary bow, when Zeng Yu went up the mountain before, they followed Zhou Cang's side, and they also saw him, when it was behind Zhu Wen's back, so they all thought it was the bow used by Zhu Wen. Seeing Zeng Yu take it out at this time was really unexpected for them.
