Come to think of it, the bandits have been entrenched in Shu for decades, and they have been supported by those business houses as uncles, how can they not be fat? As Yang Yi himself said, he now has no interest entanglement with these chaotic forces in Shu, as long as he waits for his ass to sit firmly, the northern army enters Shu, and the first time is to clean up the pests of the bandits.

The reason why the bandits have been able to stand for so many years is that there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger, and the biggest reason is the entanglement of interests, the government has never really wanted to eradicate these evil bandits who occupy Shu Road, and the soldiers in Shu and Yang Yi's Northern Army are not at the same level at all, so Yang Yi has now regarded the countless bandits on Shu Road as his own meal, and there will always be time to have a full meal.

However, it is said that after Dou Xu was killed, the nominal chief general of the Chengzhou Army should naturally be Captain Meng, but all the generals of the Chengzhou Army basically looked forward to Yang Yima.

Yang Yi knew very well in his heart that these people pushed themselves up not only to thank him, but also because the position of the commander of the Chengzhou Army was now a hot potato. The battle has been fought, whether it was Dou Xu's business before, if there is anything wrong on the way back to the city, it will definitely be the black pot, and it would be better to have such an unjust boss as Yang Yi to take over.

But fortunately, there were no more waves on the way back, but there were several bandits sneak attacks to rescue the leaders who were captured by the officers and soldiers, but they were all solved by Yang Yi effortlessly, adding a bit of military merit to everyone.

The army marched for more than ten days, and finally returned to Chengzhou Mansion without danger, it was late at night when it left, and it was still late at night when it came back.

There is no welcome from the people, and there is no scene of gongs and drums. Only Chengzhou at this time, Tao He brought several important officials to Shili Pavilion outside the city to hand over.

Of course, Yang Yi can't go to hand over the army, he has no official position, and he doesn't have this right, so he can only be handed over by the deputy general Captain Meng to Tao He.

This was the first time Yang Yi had seen Tao He, and what Yang Yi didn't expect was that the number one person in Shu turned out to be a dying old man. Yang Yi, who was standing in the back row of the army, saw Captain Meng walking in front of Tao He from a distance, and after saying a lot of sad words, he handed over the talisman to Tao He, and then carried Dou Xu's coffin forward.

The old thorn Shi Taohe naturally couldn't avoid a sad and compassionate cry, what Dou Xu is a pillar of the country, what Dou Xu is dead like a broken arm, even Yang Yi, who is used to seeing old foxes, can't tell whether this old man is really crying or fake crying.

Tao He finished crying, Dou Xu's family came up and was in pain again, Dou Xu's family finished crying, a group of bureaucrats came up to cry, and even Gao Zuozhen was there for a long time. A good class celebration made these people cry alive into a memorial meeting, but Yang Yi didn't feel sad, but felt funny.

Another thing that surprised Yang Yi was that day, in the dungeon of the blue-eyed eagle, Yang Yi once met a woman who claimed to be the niece of Thorn Shi Taohe, but Yang Yi couldn't find the woman later, because if the woman didn't stand up by herself, Yang Yi naturally didn't dare to speak, so it would reveal that she had been to the secret passage. And the woman named Tao Yingying, who made Yang Yi puzzled, never appeared again, which made Yang Yi suspect that those women deceived him in a hurry.

But when she didn't expect it, at this time, a woman knelt down in front of Tao He and cried bitterly, Tao He also burst into tears, and it could be seen that neither of them was fake crying.

Yang Yi was puzzled: "That woman is Tao Yingying in the secret passage?" But why didn't she reveal her identity in the army? ”

Yang Yi thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, he just felt that this Tao Yingying was a little weird, how could a niece of a thorn be captured by the blue-eyed eagle?

However, it was said that the army had been rubbing in Shili Pavilion for more than an hour before slowly marching towards the city under the leadership of Tao He.

During this period, Captain Meng came to find Yang Yi and told Yang Yi that he had told Tao He about him, and Tao He would summon Yang Yi separately, and let Yang Yi go home to rest today.

After the handover into the city was completed, Yang Yi did not delay any longer, and rushed to Su Mansion with his generals. More than a month of life in the mountains and forests is really grinding people, Yang Yi's calluses on his feet can be scraped with a knife, at this time I just want to go home and eat a good meal, take a hot bath, and then fall on the bed and sleep until I wake up naturally.

------------------------------------------

On the eighth day of the lunar month, commonly known as the Laba Festival, this day is generally a day to worship the ancestors and gods, and there is also the custom of eating Laba porridge.

At the junction of Tongzhou and Fengzhou, there is a place called Montenegro, which was a place of three cares a long time ago, and countless strongmen and bandits gathered in Montenegro, making it a taboo place for the common people and businessmen.

However, nearly three months ago, an army of more than 10,000 people suddenly came here, and brutally combed Montenegro several times like a comb to comb their hair, cleared out all the bandits, and the more than 10,000 people were stationed in Montenegro safely.

No one knows where these more than 10,000 killing gods came from, their combat power is extremely strong, no matter how long the officials and bandits provoke them, nothing will end well.

However, these more than 10,000 people will never go down the mountain at will, let alone bully the nearby people and passing merchants and passers-by like the previous bandits, they just stay quietly on the Black Mountain, and even start to farm the land.

In fact, there are more than 20,000 people in Montenegro today, in addition to less than 10,000 troops, the families of soldiers are also entering the village one after another.

More than 20,000 mouths have to eat, and in the face of such huge survival pressure, the people in the army have long been unable to sit still. Liu Wenzheng, Yue Jing, Gongsun Yao, Doubao and others rarely go back to the cottage, one is to inquire outside for news, and the other is to try to get some food from outside.

Now the highest commander of Montenegro is Hong Zhi, and he will stand in front of the mountain pass in Montenegro every day for the past few days, because the eighth day of the lunar month is the day when everyone agreed to get together three months ago.

Today's wind is a little strong, the fragrance of Laba porridge in the camp is blown by the cold wind all over the mountain, Hong Zhi stood on the top of the mountain with a group of children in the mountains to play.

"Look, General! Someone is on the mountain!! The sharp-eyed guard called out loudly.

Hong Zhi hurriedly put down a child on his shoulder, walked to the gate of the village and looked up, and saw a team of two or three hundred people running up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain.

Hong Zhi was overjoyed, since the sentry post under the mountain did not send a signal, it means that this team is his own people.

After a stick of incense, the group of people walked halfway up the mountain, and they could already see the faces of those people clearly.

The first person, dressed in a Confucian shirt, is not who Liu Wenzheng is, Liu Wenzheng is followed by a general in armor, majestic, it is Yue Jing, and then look back, Doubao, Yuan Liu and others are also in the team.

Running wildly all the way, soon the team was in front of the cottage.

"Haha! Lao Hong! Miss me!! Yue Jing, who was also a soldier, was the most bold, and he jumped off his horse and rushed straight towards Hong dozens of steps away.

Hong Zhi smiled and said, "General Yue is so chic!" ”

Then Liu Wenzheng and others also came to the front, and when they saw each other, everyone greeted each other.

Hong Zhi glanced at everyone and scolded: "This is the New Year, you people are embarrassed to come back empty-handed?" ”

Yue Jing laughed and said, "What is Lao Hong's words, can you go home empty-handed?" As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Twenty carts of grain, I'll pull them up later!" ”

Liu Wenzheng also smiled lightly: "The cold wind on the mountain is biting, Yuan Liu and I have made more than 3,000 clothes for everyone in the Tongzhou Mansion, and they can be shipped in two days." ”

Doubao, who has grown into a fat boy, said a little aggrieved: "You asked me to get intelligence, and you didn't give me money, I can only support myself, and I can't get food and clothing..." ”

Everyone haha, although this bean bag has been exercised very experienced in the past year, but after all, it is still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and the childlike fun will inevitably not be lost.

Hong Zhi laughed, touched the head of the bean bun, and said, "It's just right, there is no artillery in the village, and it is just in time!" ”

Bean Bao was complimented and grinned innocently.

Hong Zhiyi waved his hand: "Let's go, hurry up and drink a few glasses together, Lao Tzu wants to kill you!" ”

Everyone was immediately overjoyed, laughing and joking and marching up the mountain.

"Hey, by the way, haven't you met the Gongsun Village Master?" Hong Zhi asked Liu Wenzheng next to him as he walked.

Liu Wenzheng shook his head and said, "I still met the master of Gongsun Village in Fengzhou Mansion more than a month ago, and she told me that she was going to go to the north to find Bai Yuanliang. After thinking about it, he said: "Gongsun Zhaizi is strong in martial arts and shrewd, so there will be no accidents in the future, she said that if she persuades Bai Yuanliang, she may go directly to Shu to find His Highness." ”

Hong Zhi nodded with some concern and said, "Well, I just hope that Bai Yuanliang will not go wrong, Your Highness, the situation is not too optimistic." ”

"Is there any news from Your Highness?" Liu Wenzheng asked anxiously, and everyone also looked at Hong Zhi intently.

Hong Zhi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Wenzheng and said: "This is a letter from His Royal Highness half a month ago, now the forces in Shu are complicated, the Su family is being suppressed by various forces, His Royal Highness is very inconvenient, he intends to let Mr. Liu enter Shu first to help him." ”

Liu Wenzheng quickly read Yang Yi's letter, thought for a while, and said, "But what should you do if I leave, how long can our food be supported now?" ”

Hong Zhidao: "The grain we brought can probably last less than two months, plus some that were planted two months ago, I think it should be able to support until about April tomorrow." ”

Yue Jing on the side said: "It means that within three months, we must go to meet His Highness." ”

"Three months... Time is tight. ”

"Uncle Liu, you can go with peace of mind, I have a lot of food here!" The bean bag on the side suddenly smiled.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Doubao smiled and took out a wrapped sheepskin map from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Hong Zhi.
