Chapter 62 The Siege of the City on Peace
As soon as the morning dawned, Dong Tie came with a total of 14 people from the pawn family.
In addition to Dian Wei's immediate family, there are also several relatives of the outer line. For example, Dian Wei's wife's family, and so on.
Fourteen people, three carts.
After Dong Tie and the others saw Dong Li, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Master, when we left, we found that there was a team marching from the direction of Suiyang, presumably they already knew about the heroes."
Dong Tie didn't know what to call Dian Wei, after all, the connection between them was only Liu Wang's family, except that Dian Wei and Dong Yan had fought side by side. Even before that, Dian Wei had never heard of Dong Li in this world.
The best name for a warrior is to call it a strong man.
A person who can avenge his friends and put himself in danger at the expense of his life can be called magnificent. Strong, strong...... That is, the strong man.
At least that's how Dong Tie understands it.
Dong Li said in his heart: The response is so fast! This is not the reaction of people in the government. By the way, when evacuating Suiyang, someone shouted that Li Jiuye was dead, who was Li Jiuye?
"Sister-in-law, do you know, who is Li Jiuye? I mean, in Suiyang County, who can be worthy of Li Jiuye? β
Liu was stunned, and pointed to Li Yong, who had already become meat sauce on the ground, and said, "Uncle, then Li Jiuye is this Li Yong." β
It seems that the origin is indeed not small!
"Sister-in-law, do you know who is in Li Jiuye's family? I mean, what kind of relatives does he have? β
"I've never heard of it. I only heard that he was a rich spring chief, and he still bought it with money and goods from his family. Later, I didn't know what happened, Fu Chunchang couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved his family to Suiyang. Oh, he seems to have an uncle! Liu turned his head to look at Liu Wang's sister and said, "Sister, I remember that your brother once said that Li Thief has an uncle?" β
"Well, I said it, it seems to be called Li Damu. The name sounds very distinctive, so I remember it clearly. β
Li Damu, a very unfamiliar name!
At least it is certain that this person did not appear in the commentary, and God knows if there is a record in the official history?
Dong Li was thinking, and on the other side, Dian Wei also explained the situation to his family.
At the beginning, the whole family complained that Dian Wei acted too impulsively, which affected the whole family. But later, especially after learning about Dong Li's life experience, everyone changed their minds, and even called Dian Wei a good job.
Just kidding, the above eight generations of the canon have not produced a big person, and probably the biggest official is the head of their village. The son of Hedong Taishou and Sili Lieutenant, when you hear this name, you know that this official is definitely not small.
Dian Wei didn't react to this, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the Dian family didn't react.
After inquiring for a while, it was Dian Wei's elder brother Dian Wei who said, "Second brother, I want to meet my son." β
Dian Wei was unable to move, so Dian Wei hugged him and came to Dong Li.
"Brother, this is my brother!"
Dong Li's expression was solemn, and he bowed his hand very respectfully: "I've seen my brother!" β
Just this one action moved the pawn. Who is Dong Li? The son of Hedong Taishou, who enjoys 2,000 stones, what kind of official position is the captain of Si Li? Dianwei has seen the world, and he knows that it is the biggest military position under the general.
How could such a character be seen by grass people like them?
Now the son of the big man saluted him, which made Dian Qidun feel flattered, and his good impression of Dong Li grew.
There is a saying that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different.
Dian Wei looks very scary, but Dian Wei is dignified. After asking a few questions, he said to Dian Wei: "Brother, it is rare that Dong Gongzi is approachable, and he is even more affectionate to us and other grass people. He is right, if you provoke this incident, Yuzhou will definitely not be able to stay. It's better to go to Liangzhou with Dong Gongzi, even if you are a pawn guarding the border gates, you can follow your wish to establish a meritorious career...... Well, I think according to what Dong Gongzi said, let's go to Liangzhou. β
"Since my brother said it, my little brother dares to disobey!"
At that moment, someone came over to set up a carriage and horses, Cheng Li led people to open the road in front, and Dong Tie led ten people to protect the old and weak women and children in the middle. Dong Li and Dian Wei, with ten trolls, pressed the formation behind and slowly drove out of the woods.
At this time, it was already noon.
******
The first destination is Yuancheng.
Dong Li knew that Cai Yong must still be waiting in Yucheng. Now that I've caused trouble, I'm afraid I can't stay under Cai Yong to study, but I always have to say something. In addition, Dong Li has another idea: What will happen if Cai Yong is abducted to Hedong?
It's a bold idea, but admittedly, it's also difficult.
But again, you have to try everything. If it succeeds, the prestige of the Dong family is not as simple as raising one or two levels. Who is Cai Yong? That's the great Confucianism of the day! If it can succeed, how can the Dong family be promoted from the status of a good family in the six counties to a quasi-family family. The status has been improved, and presumably Daddy will not mess around again in the future.
The idea is very stupid and naΓ―ve, but Dong Li is willing to try.
From Yucheng to Jiwu, Dong Yan spent a day and a night. It took five days to return to the city.
There is no way, the number of people has increased, and they are all old and weak, women and children. There are many things to do, and they are very tedious, so you can only move forward slowly.
In particular, Dian Wei's wife is pregnant, so she has to be careful when walking.
Dong Li simply let Dian Wei's wife stay in the Liu family's old and young car. At least, two mothers to take care of, always experienced.
Five horses were evenly out, and Niu Gang and the three brothers of the Dianjia family rode happily on them.
Dian Wei then knocked and asked, "Brother, what is the name of that thing you put under the saddle?" Seems to work! β
"Really?"
"Of course...... I think it's a lot easier to fight on horses with this thing, and at least it will give me a three-third-percent boost. β
"Brother, this is a gadget I came up with in private. My brother thinks it's okay, but please keep quiet. β
"That nature, that nature ......"
Dian Wei's eyes rolled slightly, "Brother, when will we compare the two of us?" β
"Than? Than what? β
"Of course it's a joust...... I think your martial arts are not bad, brother, and those double hammers really have weight. Hehe, itchy, thinking about it. As you can see, no one has fought me since my brother was injured. Now that I've finally met my opponent, how can I let it go? Besides, you are only fourteen years old now, and you have such bravery, when you grow up...... I'm not going to compete with you. β
Is this kid stupid?
Dong Yan couldn't help but glance at Dian Wei seriously, this kid, don't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
"When I get to Liangzhou, I will definitely have a good time with my brother. I have a big school martial arts field there, and I have a few subordinates, all of which are not too bad. If my brother wants to compete with someone and find me, hehe, then he has found the right person! β
"So good, so good!"
Dian Wei couldn't keep his mouth shut, and for a martial artist, it was also a blessing for a lifetime to be able to find an opponent of equal strength.
It has entered November, and it is snowing in Yuzhou, which is very large.
Seeing the snowflakes fluttering all over the sky, Dong Li's mood suddenly became gloomy. There was no more speech along the way.
Occasionally, when he stopped to rest, he always led the elephant dragon and stood alone on the snow in a daze.
Dian Wei and the others didn't know what was going on. So he asked Dong Tie, "Brother Tie, what's wrong with Dong Gongzi?" β
Dong Tie also looked sad, and said softly: "At this time last year, the master's sister and brother-in-law were killed. The elephant dragon was originally the mount of the master's brother-in-law, and was later given to the master. In this kind of weather, the owner misses his sister. β
"Huh? Dong Gongzi is so powerful, how could his sister be killed? Didn't he take revenge? β
"The master wants revenge, but he can't!"
Dong Tie told what happened in Jincheng at this time last year, and although he didn't say Han Sui's name, he pointed out the title of that person's famous person. Dian Wei is not very clear, but Dian Wei is very clear. Moved by the deep affection of Dong Li's sister and brother, he suddenly grabbed Dian Wei and said: "I have always complained to myself because I can't walk, but now it seems that how lucky am I? At least, you and I are together as a family. It's like Dong Gongzi like this, it's really, it's really ......"
The pawn said several truths, but he couldn't say the next words.
Dian Wei slapped his leg and said loudly: "I, Dian Wei, swear here, that he will follow Brother Dong to level Jincheng one day and take revenge." β
Dong Tie smiled slightly, "Then the master will definitely be very happy." β
Faintly, the distance between the old and young of the pawn family and Dong Li was shortened again.
Heavy snow closed the road, and the road was difficult.
When they arrived at Yuancheng, the group was sleepy.
Dong Li asked Dong Tie to take the pawn family and the Liu family to rest in the inn in Yucheng. He and Dian Wei came to Cai Yong's mansion.
At first glance, Dian Wei really scared Cai Yong.
Fortunately, Dong Yong's ugliness is at the bottom, and Cai Yong's education is even more profound, so he didn't show any expression on his face.
But in my heart, I was thinking: things gather by like, and people are divided by groups...... The ancients did not deceive me!
After taking a seat, a servant brought warm wine. Dian Wei was a heavy drinker, so he naturally drank it very happily. Dong Yan recounted the story of his journey to Jiwu with a serious expression, and then looked at Cai Yong pondering there.
Huang Shao listened on the side and said, "My lord, the collusion between Taiping Dao and the government is no longer a secret thing. Over the years, Zhang Jiao declared that the sky was dead and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Inside, there are eight disciples and thirty-six Qu Shuai, and the Li Damu you are talking about is one of the eight disciples under Zhang Jiao. β
It seems that this Huang Shao is sincerely surrendered.
Dong Li has an advantage, when he doesn't trust you, everything he does is flawed. But if he believes you, he will immediately apologize and trust you.
got up immediately and gave a deep salute to Huang Shao: "Mr. Huang, I didn't trust you before, not because you were born poor, but because you were committed to Taipingdao. Now the country is in the autumn of critical survival, there are party disputes, eunuchs, and rebellions of foreign relatives, and there are foreign races such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang people peeping outside. Like a demon like Zhang Jiao, who uses a cult to bewitch the people and satisfy his own selfish desires, his heart should be punished, and his heart should be punished! We should serve the country. Even if he dies on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, it is not in vain to come to the world. Messing up the family can be said to be worse, leaving my country, where is the people? β
This is very straightforward, if according to the perspective of celebrities, one word: vulgar! Two words: very cheesy!
But Cai Yong's eyes widened, and Dian Wei stopped drinking. Huang Shao even crawled in front of Dong Li, crying loudly and said: "Shao's family has been poor since he was a child, so he is dissatisfied. Zhang Jiaoxing said heresy, instead of stopping it, Shao was in cahoots with him, which really deserved death! Today, listening to Mr. Teacher's teachings, there is even more righteous rebuke from the Lord. Shao is not grass and trees, and An Neng does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. If he breaks his oath one day, the heavens will punish him, the earth will destroy him, and everyone will kill him. β
Cai Yong stroked his beard very happily and nodded again and again: "Virtuous nephew, just one word today, Yong is like an empowerment, it is really refreshing, floating a lot...... Hahaha! Yes, I think we are scholars and doctors, who have been favored by the imperial court for generations, but now the national crisis is current, but there is still endless infighting. It's better that you kid can see it clearly, Yong is ashamed, ashamed! β
Dong Li helped Huang Shao up, "Okay, the past is regarded as a fart, no more." From now on, your Huang Shao will be my Dong Li's Huang Shao, not the Huang Shao of Taiping Road. Mr. Huang, I would like to ask for some advice. β
"Shao knows everything."
"In the past, how did Taiping Dao accumulate wealth?"
Huang Shao's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what Dong Li meant. After pondering for a moment, he said, "My lord, as far as Shao knows, most of the wealth collected in Taiping Dao in the past was to sell illicit salt, smuggle weapons, and obtain it from believers. Although they occasionally attack some towns in the border area, they are not excessive. Only this time, their methods were too violent. β
Cai Yong's hand trembled, and a beard was pulled off.
But he didn't feel pain: "Huang Shao, you mean to ......"
"If Shao's guess is not wrong, I'm afraid that the Taiping Road incident is imminent!"
ββββββββββββββββββ
Regarding the collusion between eunuchs and yellow turbans, it does exist in history. It is recorded that the ten permanent servants colluded with Zhang Jiao to open the palace gate on March 5, and **** Yi led people to kill them. After Tang Zhou whistleblowered, there were many people killed, I can't remember the number, it should be around four figures. Among them, in addition to the Taipings, there were many officials.
This shows that the infiltration of Taiping Dao into the imperial court at that time was very powerful.
