Chapter 2 Swimming Fish at the Bottom of the Cauldron

In the midst of the tent, a brazier burned.

An old man said, "Yang Shan is here to roast the fire." ”

"Big boss." The so-called Yang Shan is the big man who saved Zhang Xuan. Roast with the old man.

This old man was dressed in a brocade robe, with a picture of flowers and birds on the cuffs, and a hat on his head, with a piece of Hetian Baoyu inlaid on it. He is a rich man. However, the honor of this old man is not flattering. But he was an old farmer, with furrows on his face, and he looked more than sixty years old. Smoking a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, he stumbled on the table from time to time. Wearing this good clothes, there is a feeling of being crowned by a monkey.

He is Cao Cao and Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai was originally a sitter in Shaanxi, and the Luo family is also a family of bandits for generations. Now that the Luo family is among the rogues, it can be regarded as a big man.

And in this tributary, it is also with Zhang Xianzhong, riding and riding, sitting and sitting, and the existence of confrontation.

"Yang Shan." Luo Rucai said with a thick Qin tone: "Where did Mengzhen chase it?" ”

Yang Shan said: "Mengzhen has passed Linjiang City. However, when the weather is about to be seen, I am afraid it will rain. If Mengzhen marches overnight, it will arrive at the city of Huangling City tomorrow evening, and if it does not march overnight, it will be a day or two short. ”

Luo Rucai smoothed the beard on his chin and said, "What do you think will be done if you are as fierce as a tiger?" ”

Yang Shan said: "Fierce as a tiger chasing behind us for more than forty days, there are only hundreds of horsemen around us, and the rest are Zuo Liangyu's miscellaneous soldiers, so there is nothing to fear." By this time, I was already exhausted. The anger can be puffed up, but it cannot be vented, and this discouragement will be puffed up again, and I don't know when. Fierce as a tiger will never stop, even if it rains, he will march overnight. ”

Luo Rucai said while roasting the fire: "This time, Huang Hu is expected." What Yang Shan thought was exactly what Luo Rucai thought, and Luo Rucai came back to his senses and said: "You have a good rest, wait for a good fight tomorrow, and let out a bad breath." ”

Yang Shan said: "Yes." He froze slightly, a feeling of wanting to speak and stopping.

Luo Rucai saw it at a glance and said, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

Yang Shan knew that he couldn't hide it from Luo Rucai, so he entered the camp and came directly to Luo Rucai, even so, he wasn't sure if anyone told Luo Rucai about the person he brought in.

After all, he looks up to this kind old farmer, but he has the nickname of Cao Cao, who dares to underestimate him, he will die a long time ago.

Yang Shan said respectfully: "On the way back to the camp, I met a fellow countryman, so I brought him back to the camp and wanted to give him a bite to eat. Please also ask for forgiveness from the great masters. ”

It is customary to go out as a scout and leave no one alive.

Luo Rucai sighed and said, "What is this little thing?" If you don't kill people in this world, even I, a bandit, can't live. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if you want to save one, save one. However, my Lao Luo is just a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, whether he can survive depends on how his creation is. ”

Yang Shan said: "Thank you for the big boss. ”

Luo Rucai said: "Go, have a good rest, tomorrow is the time when you are useful." ”

Yang Shan said: "Yes." ”

Luo Rucai sent Yang Shan away and asked Luo Yulong to come over. But after a while, Luo Yulong arrived.

"Dad, you call me." Luo Yulong came over with a curtain,

Luo Rucai said: "There is a matter for you to do, Yang Shan is back, Mengzhen will arrive at the city of Huangling City tomorrow, you go to visit your Uncle Zhang, tell him about the matter, and listen to him by his side." ”

Luo Yulong is Luo Rucai's son and his only son.

Luo Rucai only has one son and one daughter. His son Luo Yulong is over twenty-five years old now, and he is also superb in martial arts, and he can be regarded as a great general.

And her daughter Luo Yujiao, who grew up in the rogue and has a good appearance, but she can't do it at all, and she is not bad at riding a bow and horse. Just slightly inferior to his brother.

And this son and daughter all existed before Luo Rucai became a rogue, and after becoming a rogue, he was displaced, and he was sudden. Luo Rucai robbed a lot of women everywhere, but where is the time for them to have sons? That's why Luo Rucai attaches great importance to this only son.

This time, he sent his son to Zhang Xianzhong's side, also for the sake of the overall situation.

Zhang Xianzhong has already arranged it under Huangling City, ready to give a fierce tiger. Luo Rucai is hidden in the mountains between Kaixian and Huangling City, ready to fight like a tiger at any time.

But although there is cooperation between the rogues and the rogues, how much trust they have in each other, that may not be.

Between the officers and the army, there are also friendly soldiers who pit each other, and the annexation of the rogues is even more or more, such a big war must make each other trust each other, Zhang Xianzhong put his back hand in Luo Rucai's hand. And Luo Rucai also sent his son to Zhang Xianzhong.

Although it is not stated, it is actually a hostage.

"Yes." Luo Yulong said, "Son, let's go." ”

Luo Rucai said: "There is also a person brought by Yang Shan, you bring it to Huangling City." There is no place to settle here. "On Luo Rucai's side, they are all used to ambush the elites who are as fierce as a tiger, and most of them are cavalry. The camp of the Liukou is in the east of Huangling City.

Luo Yulong said: "Yes." ”

After Luo Yulong left Luo Rucai's big tent, his face immediately turned up slightly, and he took more than a hundred followers to the side of the stable, and saw Zhang Xuan at a glance.

Zhang Xuan was frozen as if he was a prawn, Luo Yulong pointed with the tip of the whip and said, "Take him with you and go to Huangling City." ”

More than 100 riders took Zhang Xuan to Huangling City.

Zhang Xuan was placed horizontally on the horse, the horse rose and fell, and he felt that his heart, liver, spleen and stomach seemed to be about to come out, and when he got off the horse, Zhang Xuan was already weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.

Luo Yulong squinted at Zhang Xuan, and had already sentenced Zhang Xuan to death in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not small, it's just a showcase." ”

Luo Yulong felt that people like Zhang Xuan couldn't keep up with the pace of the army at all.

And what will happen to the stragglers, the officers and soldiers behind will tell them. Luo Yulong felt that Zhang Xuan had nothing to use, and said, "Throw it to the front camp." ”

"Yes." The two big men agreed and threw Zhang Xuan into the front camp under the city.

It took a while for Zhang Xuan to regain his strength.

"Baby, what's the matter with you? Thrown here. "An old man is thin and thin, and the green tendons on his body burst out, as if they are floating outside his body.

Zhang Xuan listened to the thick Sichuan sound, and then determined that this should be Sichuan.

Zhang Xuan not only heard the old man speak, but also heard other people speak, and most of them spoke in Sichuan.

Zhang Xuan said: "Uncle, where is this?" ”

The old man said, "Baby, don't you know? This is the death camp. ”

"Death battalion?" Zhang Xuan repeated the word in his mouth, and while looking around, countless people gathered together, all dressed in tatters. Most of them are almost single-clothed like his. Shivering from the cold. And everybody doesn't look like they're going to have a couple of meats. If these people are a group of refugees, Zhang Xuan feels that he believes it, but saying that it is the army is too different from the base camp of Luo Rucai that Zhang Xuan saw.

Zhang Xuan said: "Uncle, can they fight? ”

The old man said, "What kind of battle? Your daring to die is for death. ”

It took a while for Zhang Xuan to summarize from the old man's words what this death camp was?

The death battalions are all coerced people from all over the country, and most of the Liukou's own team are cavalry, even if they are not cavalry, they can act as mules and horses.

And these people in the death camp always took local materials and grabbed a group of people, either driving the siege or staying behind the back hall. And the official army also has a tacit understanding with the rogue.

Once on the march, these are followed on foot, and if they can't keep up with the brigade, they are given the heads of the officers and soldiers.

Anyway, the officials and soldiers want heads, and they don't care too much about whose heads it is.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately shuddered.

Zhang Xuan still doesn't understand, now his life is like a candle in the wind. Staying in the death camp, once the battle is engaged, whether you can survive or not, only God knows?

"Nope." Zhang Xuan said secretly: "I want to survive." ”

Zhang Xuan asked his father-in-law, "What kind of place is this?" ”

The old man said: "This is Kaixian. ”

"Where to open the county?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Kuizhou Kaixian." The old man said.
