As soon as I turned the mountain, I saw more than 200 bandits surrounding more than 10 people tearing and killing, and there were many people lying around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Shi greeted Cao Xing, and rode over, Dian Wei knew what Liu Shi wanted to do.

As soon as the thieves saw someone coming, they didn't care when they saw only a few people, and only divided a small group to intercept them.

Seeing this, Liu Shi didn't answer, and rode into the group of thieves, how these people were the opponents of Liu Shi and Dian Wei, they immediately collapsed, and Cao Xing's arrows were like meteors, and one person would fall for each arrow. When Dian Wei saw this, he brushed the ground and threw more than a dozen small axes over, and more than a dozen people fell down immediately.

Liu Shi used a spear as a stick, and he died when he touched it, and he was injured when he was next to it.

Shi Jian even reaped a person's life with a flash of sword light.

When the thieves saw it, they knew that they had encountered a disaster star, and with a roar, they immediately ran into the mountains and forests and disappeared, leaving dozens of thieves who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

More than a dozen people who were rescued saw the thieves retreating, and hurriedly came over to thank them for saving their lives.

When Liu Shi saw it, he seemed familiar, and when he asked, it turned out to be Su Shuang, a businessman from Zhongshan, and others.

Liu Shi was overjoyed and introduced himself.

Su Shuang was relieved when he heard this, it turned out to be the cousin of an old friend, don't go to the tiger and the wolf in such troubled times.

At this time, the people behind have also arrived. Liu Shi asked about the situation of Su Shuang and the others again.

It turned out that since Liu Bei recruited Xiang Yong, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang knew about it, they gave 50 good horses, 100 catties of gold and silver, and 1000 catties of good iron, and returned to their hometown in Zhongshan County, and soon encountered the Yellow Turban Thief, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's home was broken by the Yellow Turban Thief because they were famous in the local area, Zhang Shiping's family except for a pair of children who were stuffed into the cellar at that time to be preserved, the others were slaughtered, and the corn in the field was also robbed.

Su Shuang escaped because he happened to be out with his son. But the family wealth was ruined. After grief, there is still life. After staying at home for a few months, he finally sold most of the fields at a low price, and used the funds raised to send some to Zhang Shiping's children.

However, although Zhang Shiping's son was young, he did not accept Su Shuang's gift, but asked to go with Su Shuang to sell horses, Su Shuang felt that Zhang Shiping's feelings agreed, and then several times it was very safe, this time I wanted to sell a big one, more than 50 horses, and two first-class horses, but I met a bandit, and now the horse has been robbed.

It is said that the bandit is the Yellow Turban Yubu Bai Rao.

Liu Shi asked what they should do now, and Su Shuang sighed and said, "What can I do?" All the horses were robbed, and the guards died so much that they didn't know what to do! The only way to do this is to sell the rest of the family's fertile land to raise money for the dead guards. We'll talk about the rest later. ”

Liu Shi thought for a while and said, "I have been given the title of magistrate of Chang'an Yishangluo County by His Majesty today, but I still want to organize a caravan, I wonder if you can please help me run the caravan?" ”

When Su Shuang heard this, he was silent.

He knew that Liu Shi's family was not very wealthy now, and even if he ran a caravan, the scale would not be large. However, Liu Shi was given Maocai and longevity by His Majesty at a young age, and he wanted to have a bright future, and he was waiting to answer.

When Dian Wei saw it, he said impatiently: "My son-in-law is the son of today, and he is also known as the emperor's brother, and he has personally sealed the imperial seal, if he can exterminate the Shangluo mountain thieves within two years, he will be given the title of Zhuojun Tinghou." Will you still entrust you to help Childe run the caravan? Besides, Gongzi has now opened a restaurant in Luoyang and purchased a manor in Xincheng, isn't it worth following the Son of Heaven with a doctor of imperial seals? Su Shuang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly re-gifted.

Liu Shidao: "If you want, I can give you a dividend of 10% of the business income, if you don't have the intention, I won't force it, and we will break up." ”

Su Shuang hurriedly said, "I don't dare to ask for the dividend, but now I still need time to deal with it when I go back, but since this son values it, I dare not do my best!" A month later, I went to see my son, and I hoped that he would enjoy the food, so I would like to thank him. ”

Liu Shi is overjoyed! Everyone said a few more words, and after arriving at the boundary of Yizhou, the two teams parted ways.

When Liu Shi returned to Liuzhuang (Lousang Village), he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the changes were not great.

Liu Shi's father and son had their own emotion when they met.

These people brought back by Liu Shi had their own housekeeping arrangements.

That night, the father and son sat in the study, Liu Qiyuan looked at Liu Shi and said, "Have you been doing well in the past few years?" ”

Liu Shi smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, I learned a lot from Master Zheng and Master Lu, and I followed Master Hua Shi to practice medicine for three years, and I have traveled to many places and know the sufferings of many people." ”

"You seem to have understood a lot since you went to your uncle's house." Liu Yi said.

"Yes, since the Yellow Turban, the Han family has gone into decline, the world is full of smoke, and the troubled times are coming, although Your Majesty is struggling to maintain it, but my Han Dynasty is already full of holes, the court tax revenue is not enough, the minister only knows how to blame Your Majesty, but does not want to stabilize the people." Liu Shi said with a little regret.

"More than ten years ago, there was a scholar who walked through Liuzhuang (Lousang Village) and saw your cousin, saying that this son will be unspeakably expensive in the future, but unfortunately the first half of his life will suffer many twists and turns. I took out the newborn you, and after seeing it, Xiangshi was silent. I think maybe in the future, as long as you follow your cousin, you will at least be able to become a minister.

Therefore, in the future, even in troubled times, you and your cousin should support each other and not hurt each other. Your cousin has a tough and generous personality. At the time of the incident, the two brothers worshipped were unstoppable and had the luck of their ancestors. I hope that Lou Sang Liu will be able to reproduce the legacy of the ancestors in the hands of your two brothers. ”

Liu Shi was taken aback when he heard his father say this, and replied: "What Xiangshi said is nonsense. Besides, I am now favored by the Son of Heaven, and although the great man is weakened, he should still be able to last for a long time, and unless an accident happens, I will support each other according to my father's command, and will not compete with my brother. ”

Then he talked about his plans to come back this time.

Soon, Su Shuangyi took his family to Liuzhuang (Lousang Village), and surprisingly, Zhang Shiping's children and several old people who had followed Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and other businessmen also came over.

Liu Shi naturally welcomed, everyone rested for a few days, and prepared to go to Shanggu and Yanmen to buy horses. Then go straight to Shangluo to take up his post.

In the past month, Liu Shi used the relationship of the clan to recruit seventy or eighty soldiers, all of whom were familiar with bows and horses. Except for a small number of family children, most of them are neighbors.

Since I had to go to Chang'an for a few years and was full of risks, I naturally paid enough settling-in expenses.

Preparing to stop, Liu Shi said goodbye to his father, Wu Pu stayed in Zhuo County to practice medicine, and took care of Liu's father by the way, and the maids he brought back, Gao Shun's mother, Zhang Shiping's daughter all stayed in Liuzhuang. After all, Shangluo County is even more chaotic than here.

After proper arrangement, Liu Shi led nearly 100 people and 20 carriages to set off for the upper valley.

However, when there are many people, it is easy to have problems.

First of all, the command is ineffective and scattered, this situation is usually no problem, but when it encounters the Xiongnu or Wuheng cavalry or thieves, it is troublesome.

Therefore, Liu Shi divided more than 80 people into several teams, Liu Zhen, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun each led a team of 20 people, selected three people as his own soldiers, and the rest were brought by Liu Shi himself, and Cao Xing followed Liu Shi as his deputy. Shi Lian selected ten people as the selection striker.

After the personnel were distributed, each team carried a few carriages, so that it appeared to be orderly, and Shi Jian and Cao Xing played the forwards and marched in turn.

Shanggu is familiar to Su Shuang, and the salt, tea and grain he brings are all in demand on the grassland, and he soon found a few small tribes and exchanged them for more than a dozen good horses. Maybe it's winter, and the price is surprisingly good. It was two percent lower than expected.

Everyone was very happy, and at this moment, they saw a group of Wuheng cavalry chasing three or four Han people, and these Han people saw this group of caravans, so they ran over and asked for help.

When the Wuheng people saw this group of caravans, they did not answer, and Tima rushed up, apparently trying to take this group of caravans as well.

But this time it ran into an iron plate, Liu Shi gave an order, Liu Zhen, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, and Shi Jian each carried their horses and rushed towards this group of Wuheng cavalry, especially Cao Xing, where the bowstring sounded, I saw a person fall off his horse.

Dian Wei was not far behind, he raised two halberds, and only listened to a few "bang, bang" sounds, and the heads of several Wuheng cavalry were like watermelons, torn apart, very terrifying.

The Wuheng cavalry, who originally wanted to pick up a little cheap, was taken aback and hurriedly turned around and ran.

Liu Shi didn't chase either, knowing that on the grassland, hundreds or thousands of Wuheng people would appear at any time.

Liu Shi and the others pulled the horses left by the Wuheng people over, and with these people, they quickly left this place and ran in the direction of Yanmen.

In this battle, in addition to a few arrow wounds, more than a dozen horses were gained.

Liu Shi found these Han people to understand the situation.

According to reports, they were all captured in Wuheng as a slave when they were in Wuheng Kouguan a few years ago, and a few days ago they saw Wuheng go out to eat again, and the guards were looser and ran out. Unexpectedly, when they returned to the tribe head-on, they saw that they were being chased and killed, and when they encountered this group of caravans, they ran over and called for help.

Liu Shi saw that they had nowhere to go, and their equestrian skills were good, so he agreed to take them in.
