Chapter 115: Luo Shan
Soon, Liu Xi hurriedly beat his horse and left, and Jiang Xin, who had bid farewell to him, returned to the house again, looking at the tea that was still smoking, and there was a hint of admiration in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Heroes, no matter how young they are, do not even drink tea for the sake of the people, and this kind of worry for the people is really a blessing for the people.
Secretly praised a few words, Jiang Xin flicked his sleeves and walked out, there were more than a thousand people in the city, as the lord of a county, how could he not go to check on them, and not settle them down, he always felt a little difficult to feel at ease, and he was very worried.
Jiang Xin thought, Liu Xi naturally didn't know, the horse's hooves were dusty, and he drove for several hours without stopping, and it was almost sunset before he returned to Yangqu City.
"Your Excellency is back!"
The sound of horses' hooves startled the bear in the camp as soon as he walked out, and when he saw Liu Xi, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with his fists.
"General Xiong is exempt, but the city is safe and sound?"
Jumping off the horse, Liu Xi threw the horsewhip to the canal waves behind him and strode towards the camp.
Xiong Gang turned around and followed, "On the day of your lordship's departure, there was not much unusual in the city, and there were a few arrogant scoundrels who wanted to rob other people's property, and were thrown into prison after being taught a good lesson by their subordinates. ”
"At present, the people are uneasy, such things must not be tolerated, and if there are such things in the future, they will be whipped fifty lashes and thrown straight out of the city, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be killed in public!"
Liu Xi's voice was angry, the situation was chaotic, the people's hearts were unstable, if there was no need for some heavy regulations, Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had evil thoughts, didn't know what kind of trouble would happen.
Hearing this, Xiong Gang stared wide-eyed, nodded and hummed, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have sent people to patrol the streets, and they will definitely not let people do evil." ”
The two walked into the camp while talking, and at this moment, it was the time for the soup kitchen, and many people were lining up to receive the steaming porridge.
Yesterday there were five stoves, but today it has increased to eight, and as far as the eye can see, the school yard of thousands of people looks crowded and cluttered because of the black oppression.
"I think it's because the surrounding people heard that the adults gave alms and food, so they all rushed here, and the number of people is still increasing."
Xiong Gang said softly, and his rough face was full of sadness.
In the crowd, some people have seen Liu Xi, and immediately saluted him, and they can fill their stomachs when they are most lonely, this kindness makes them look at Liu Xi as the blue sky that is the master of the people.
Helping up the people who kept saluting and kowtowing one by one, Liu Xi was about to take Xiong Gang to the barracks, when a man in tattered iron armor walked over.
"My lord, he is the captain of the guard army of Yangqu City, Luo Shan."
Yangqu is an important place in Li Tang's northern Xinjiang, in addition to the Hengchong Brigade in the town, there is also a battalion of soldiers in the same as other states and counties to maintain the integrity on weekdays.
Looking at Luo Shan who came to salute, Liu Xi felt a little unhappy in his heart, maybe it was because the soldiers of the Rampage Brigade were wiped out, or maybe it was because of Chen Mogu and others, so there was more coldness in his attitude, and after the other party saluted, he just replied with a gentle bow, "General Luo." ”
Thinking that he was aware of Liu Xi's unfamiliarity, Luo Shanben's eyes were a little more uneasy, and he was a little overwhelmed when he stood there.
"My lord, General Luo's subordinates are here to maintain order."
Xiong Gang whispered a word to Liu Xi, who raised his head, and sure enough, he saw that there were many soldiers in the crowd who were like Luo Shan, wearing shabby iron armor, some were carrying water, and some were taking care of the old and weak people.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xi's face softened a little, "Yangqu was affected by the disaster, and the people were suffering, and General Luo needed to worry a lot." ”
After saying this, Liu Xi took Xiong Gang back to the barracks in a hurry, and Luo Shan, who stayed in place, was silent for a moment, and later, the back that was a little bent down turned out to be extremely straight.
In the barracks, Liu Xi picked up the tea that Lin Yi had fallen, and drank a few big sips, but before his breath subsided, he said directly to Xiong Gang, "General Xiong, I have a plan to suspend the crisis in the city, and I still need the general to take action, but the matter is ......dangerous."
"Despite your orders, your subordinates and brothers are all obedient!"
Xiong Gang blurted out and said, for fear that Liu Xi would have some concerns, so he said again, "Those rabbit cubs have been making trouble for the past two days, shouting that they want to do something for the people, since the adults have a proposition, they will order to wait with me, as for the dangerous ......"
Speaking of this, Xiong Gang patted his chest, "My subordinates and those brothers have come and gone in the fire, and they have experienced a lot of life and death, so how can they have it?" ”
"Okay, General Xiong, the flying armor is worthy of being a sharp weapon in the hands of the saint."
After complimenting, Liu Xi put the cup in his hand aside, and saw that Lin Yi and the others were also looking at him, so he said straight to the point, "When I went to Xiapi City, the county commander Jiang Xin Jiang gave me a method, saying that there are many deep mountains outside Yangqu City, and there are many mountain thieves and bandits hidden in them, and I am afraid that there is a lot of surplus grain in the village." ”
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood, and Xiong Gang laughed even more, "It's indeed a good way, the property of those bandits was originally robbed from the hands of the people, let the subordinates take it back today, and let them know what it's like to be robbed." ”
After speaking, Xiong Gang accepted the smile, Zhengse and Liu Xi clasped their fists and saluted, "My lord, Yangqu City has reached the point where there is no time to delay, and my subordinates ask for orders to go to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, so as to seize food and relieve the people." ”
"Wait, Yusheng, Pingkou can keep Yangqu safe, and secondly, it is a rare good idea, but after all, General Xiong and the others are new here, and they haven't figured out the geometry of Yangqu, let alone the land of forests and mountains, so if you go rashly, you may be harmed."
Lin Yi said in a deep voice, Xiong Gang was a little annoyed when he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, because these words were not unreasonable.
"Brother Mengjue is very right, but I don't know when the relief grain from the imperial court will arrive, and the surplus grain in Yangqu City is about to be struck, if you can't find the food, it will be unimaginable."
Lin Yi didn't refute, sighed, looked down at the half pot of wine in his hand, and only raised his head after a moment and said, "Find a guide, I'll walk with them." ”
"Then there is Brother Lao Mengjue."
Liu Xi thanked him, the flying armor was an important reliance in his hands, and he couldn't afford to lose, and now that Lin Yi was with him, there was naturally no need to worry about the safety of Xiong Gang and the others.
Without further ado, Xiong Gang immediately went out to look for the guide, and unexpectedly, the one who followed him into the barracks was the captain of the Yangqu City garrison who he had just seen, Luo Shan.
"My lord, my subordinates have been playing in the mountains of Yangqu City since they were children, and they are extremely familiar with it, and they can be with General Xiong."
"It's fine."
Liu Xi nodded and agreed, with Lin Yi and dozens of flying armor, it was enough to sweep those mountain bandits, and Luo Shan only needed to lead the way.
The flying armor that was patrolling outside was quickly recruited back, and the soldiers of Yangqu City maintained the stability of the city on their behalf, and at the gate of the camp, dozens of flying armor stood with their heads held high, and the residual blood of the west slope was sprinkled, illuminating the armor on their bodies with golden light.
"My lord, let the villain walk with you, and I am willing to go to the bandits!"
The soldiers of Yangqu City, whose iron armor was worn out and carried a crude spear in their hands, stood at the gate of the camp and pleaded bitterly, pleading with Na Luoshan over and over again.
"Presumptuous, military orders can be known like mountains! Stay in the city for Lao Tzu, listen to the dispatch of Lord Qincha, take care of the people, if Lao Tzu comes back and sees someone on the street, he has to pick your skin! ”
Luo Shan scolded with a straight face, and later, he took the lead in beating his horse and galloping, and galloped away with Xiong Gang and his party outside the city.
At the gate of the camp, Liu Xi turned his head to look at the soldiers who whispered to pray for the common people to protect Luo Mountain, and then looked at the dilapidated iron armor that gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and vaguely, he seemed to understand some truth.
Only when we take a step back can we have a wide sea, and if we don't act, we can't do anything.
