Qingzhou!
After Liu Bei and the others entered Qingzhou, they ordered the team to act in units, and the more dispersed the better.
This is a gamble, it is very likely that when the 3,000 men and horses arrive in Yecheng, Jizhou, only half of them will be left, or less, but this is no way.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Hu Che'er turned into merchants, pulling a carriage, and rushed from Qingzhou to Jizhou with some goods.
Liu Bei and others were busy hurrying during the day, and at night they stayed in a farmhouse, or directly slept in the wilderness, using the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, which was very comfortable.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, summer had passed and autumn had come, and the sky in the north began to have a cool feeling.
Unconsciously, Liu Bei and others had come to Jinan and Licheng.
Licheng!
It is difficult to Mount Tai, and the Yellow River is in the north! It is a rare feng shui treasure.
Licheng is mainly mountainous, hilly, plain-based landform terrain, plus the Yellow River flows through here, there are more small Qing River, Haihe River and other large rivers, so this place in the late Han Dynasty is also a large agricultural county, comparable to Jizhou Yecheng.
Historically, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao are the people of Licheng, Shandong, and they are talking about this place.
Shandong has always been out of the sound of horses, what is the sound of horses, in other words, robbers, bandits, etc., and it cannot be said that the people of this place are not good, robbers, bandits, etc. are related to the current situation of the world, the more prosperous the Kangqian era, there is no sound horse here.
But the words of the horse reflect a fact, the folk customs here are still quite strong, especially the men, each with big shoulders and round waists, martial arts, if you join the army to hone it, you will definitely make achievements.
Sure enough. Liu Bei and others walked on Licheng Avenue, but when they saw the peddlers and pawns coming and going, each of them could be described as a big man, some of them were women with children. The voice is also loud and scary.
Not far ahead, there is a wine shop, at the door of the wine shop, a wooden stake with the thickness of a bowl mouth is more than three zhang high, and there is a flag hanging on it. The word "wine" is in the big book.
Next to standing a child, coarse linen clothes, slightly bowed to the body, is smiling to greet the guests, after the guests go in or out, they will change the color of the body, stretch and stretch the muscles.
"Let's go! Let's go in and drink two bottles. ”
Liu Bei saw the banner of the wine shop waving in the wind, and immediately felt happy, and beckoned Guan Yu and Hu Che'er to go to the wine shop together.
The little two hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, bowed down and waved his hand to show his request. Said: "Three! Inside, please. ”
Hu Che'er led the carriage, threw the reins to Xiao Er, and took out a few big coins from his arms and threw them to Xiao Er, saying, "Xiao Er!" Pull the wagon out of the backyard, feed some good horse feed, and give the rest to you to buy wine and eat. ”
Xiao Er was so excited, he put the big money in his arms, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, this master, don't worry, I promise to take care of your horse." Good horse material is never to be treated badly. ”
Walking into the wine shop, finding a place by the window and sitting down, Guan Yu greeted Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er." Bring your good wine and food here, and walk a little tired. ”
"I'm so tired! A few masters, you later. ”
After that, the little two in the wine shop shook the rag in his hand and walked towards the back kitchen.
It was not yet noon, and there were a little fewer people in the restaurant. But there are also some people who have a small gathering here.
There was such a table of people in the middle of the wine shop, a total of five people, dressed in military uniforms, with sharp blades hanging from their waists, and four or five dishes and a jar of wine on the dining table.
This group of people attracted Liu Bei's attention, their demeanor seemed to be a little melancholy, and there was always a look of sadness on their faces, and how could there be an officer who was drunk and messed up in the daytime.
One of the four people was thin, his skin was a little rough and yellowish, but he was really not very old, a bowl of strong wine went down, and he smashed the wine bowl on the table with a bang, looked back at the brother next to him, and said drunkly: "Big brother! Where do we go next? Do you want to go back to your hometown in Taixian County? ”
The same question came from the other three, who all stared at a short-haired strong man about thirty years old, who held his hands on the table, his arms were straight, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, he burped, let out a breath of wine, and said in a slightly sad tone: "Go home? Where do we have a home? Since we fled back from the front, we have no home, and sooner or later we will be arrested. ”
Front!?
Could it be that they have returned from the battlefield of Guandu? They are deserters!?
Xiao Er brought up the wine and food, put it on the dining table, put it away, and said, "A few guest officers, please." ”
Liu Bei only responded slightly, and then stared at them again.
The strong man in his thirties was obviously the leader of several of them, and if it was possible, this person was their eldest brother, whether it was the eldest brother or the eldest brother, it was the same.
"Fortunately, we escaped back, otherwise we would have starved to death in Guandu! The Cao thief actually attacked the black nest, and what was even more unexpected was that General Chun Yuqiong's tens of thousands of troops guarded the black nest, and they were defeated by two thousand Cao troops, I really don't know how this battle was fought? Even if it was tens of thousands of pigs, it would take a day and a half to fight, but I didn't expect to be wiped out by the Cao thief within an hour! Alas! ”
This sentence of this thirty-year-old strong man also attracted Guan Yu's attention, Guan Yu was stunned, glanced at the clothed man beside him, and then turned around and stared at Liu Bei with an extremely disbelieving look.
Liu Bei just glanced at him knowingly, and nodded to Guan Yu.
See! Yuan Shao was really defeated!
"Big brother! I think we'd better go back! Our mother is still at home! My sister-in-law and children are also at home, and I can't live without you at home! The youngest brother spoke.
"Yes! Big brother, let's go back. The other three brothers spoke together.
The thirty-year-old strong man picked up a bowl of spirits, drank it all, and said sonorously: "Good! Let's go back! ”
With that, several people stood up and were about to leave.
Xiao Er stepped forward with an arrow, opened his arms, stopped the five strong men with his body, raised his head, tilted his head, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go, the account has not been settled yet." ”
The youngest child was more angry, and with a bang, the long sword was unsheathed, standing directly on the neck of the little two, and shouted: "Lao Tzu fought with Cao thieves on the front line, and it was not easy to climb out of the pile of dead people, you Lao Shizi, ask Lao Tzu for money!" In a word, if you don't want money, you won't give it to your mother! ”
Liu Bei was surprised, there are people in this society who eat overlord meals! It's really rare.
I thought that the little two should be turned into soft eggs immediately, and the rhythm of peeing his pants in fright, but I didn't think that the little er's chest was even higher, and he pointed to the position of his heart with his finger, as if he was not afraid of these people at all: "Come on!" Poke in here! Tell you, we are the Yuan family's industry here, try it with one finger on my fingers? ”
The young man swished and drew his sword back, and suddenly it was a stab, and a chewing sound came out of his mouth: "Look for death!! ”
In an instant, the thirty-year-old strong man suddenly grabbed the young man's arm and stopped his sword, and at this time, the little two were not very arrogant, showing a look of horror on his face, and saw that someone stopped the young man from the side, and then he returned to his arrogant posture.
On the side, Guan Yu snorted coldly and said with a contemptuous smile: "What a small man!! ”
The thirty strong men clasped their fists and said, "We really don't have any money on us, but we're really hungry!" In this way, if we owe you this meal today, we will come to the door another day to apologize and pay off the debt. ”
"That's not going to work! Our shopkeeper said, our store does not take credit! Xiao Ershen said.
There is a blood in the body of a soldier, let alone a Qingzhou soldier! They will be kind to you when they reason with you, but when they play tricks with you, they will be hideous.
The young man was angry, and when he flew up, he kicked the little two in the lower abdomen, and the little two couldn't bear it, so he immediately covered his stomach and shouted: "Help! The soldier kills! ”
Suddenly, a group of people and horses were killed around the shop, each with big shoulders and round waists, holding short sticks and other instruments, and besieged these five people in the small shop for life.
The shopkeeper looked at the counter and let out a scornful laugh: "I want to leave if I don't pay the bill!" There are no doors, do you know whose territory this is? That is the property under the name of the eldest prince of Yuan, and offending me is offending the Yuan family! ”
These five people were a little hairy, because they knew that this group of big men were not ordinary janitors, they were all from the army, and they were extraordinary.
The shopkeeper said lightly: "It's okay if you don't have money!" My brothers haven't played in a long time, so let them play with you! After that, there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and he said ruthlessly: "Brothers! Do it. ”
It's too late, it's too soon!
The big man raised his stick together and beckoned to these five people, and these five people seemed to be not afraid at all, and began to resist when they drew their swords, and for a time the two sides were inseparable, and each had damage.
For! For! For!
On the wooden stake in the wine shop, a few large coins were suddenly engraved, and the crisp sound couldn't help but stop the horn of the battle between the two sides, and all eyes were focused on the wooden stake for a while.
"Who is it?"
The shopkeeper looked around the wine shop and said in shock.
There was no one else in the liquor shop, but under the window in the corner, a group of three people were tasting wine as if they didn't know what was happening.
"It's you !?" The shopkeeper said impressively.
Liu Bei didn't look up, a bowl of spirits went down, and said softly: "Shopkeeper!" Don't you know that this money is enough for their food? If it's not enough, you can add some. ”
For! For! For!
Guan Yu's long sleeves flicked, and several big coins flew out of the oblique thorns, and the wooden stakes in the middle were neatly arranged there.
"If that's enough! Then let them go home. ”
Liu Bei's tone was very indifferent, but the momentum was not weak at all. (To be continued.) )
