Chapter 115: Brothers Reunited

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also felt headaches.

However, their problem is not the life or death of the captives, but how to go on the road ahead.

It can be expected that the two hearty victories in Yingchuan and Wanxian will bring them what glory. But at the same time, they will also face many unforeseen dangers and difficulties. Li Ru is very smart and scheming. It is undeniable that he is sometimes too eager for quick success, and he can't consider everything and be thorough.

Wanxian lost first and then won, to put it bluntly, it doesn't have much to do with him.

It was only by relying on the desperate killing of the generals and the sudden appearance of Dong Li's strange army that he was able to reverse the defeat.

In fact, if it weren't for Dong Li's appearance, maybe they would have been defeated.

Xun Zhuo didn't blame Li Ru. In his opinion, Li Ru is still a little young today, and it is already very good to be able to do this at the age of thirty. People often say that thirty is standing, and forty is not confused. A good planner needs to have talent, qualifications and background, and all three are indispensable. Li Ru has talent, but unfortunately in terms of qualifications and origin, it is a little worse.

"Wenzheng, what reward do you think the court will give me?"

Li Ru frowned and said: "It should be indispensable to add officials to the knighthood, maybe you will also do a state assassin history?" The son-in-law said it was not good. ”

"Thorn History......"

Xun Zhuolai wandered around the room and said to himself, "This place in Yuzhou should be good...... Wenzheng, what do you think? ”

"Yuzhou ......"

Li Ru felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and after muttering for a long time, he shook his head and said, "In the opinion of the son-in-law, it is not good. ”

"Oh?"

"Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is also adjacent to Gyeonggi. Although it is said that the people are outstanding and spiritual, there are many families, and the view of the gateway is deep-rooted. Father-in-law, don't forget the humiliation you suffered in *yang at the beginning. Do you think those people will accept you? ”

Kaoru shook her head slightly, "It's very difficult. ”

"Second, although this Yuzhou is rich in products and has a large population. But after this chaos, you should also see some clues. Yingchuan is the place of four wars, and there are many rogues who have plundered. If Yingchuan is in chaos, Yuzhou will be in chaos...... Will you be able to get away with it then? ”

Kaoru shook her head again. "It's hard!"

"Third, starting with Emperor Guangwu. Most of the officials who can gain a foothold in Yuzhou are famous people who were born as scholars. And you...... Although Yingchuan was in dilapidation after being washed by anti-thieves. But after all, this was once the place where the world's scholars yearned. Do you think we can really get along with those scholars? ”

This time, Xun Zhuo stopped shaking his head.

"According to what you say, Yuzhou can't stay, so let's go to Qingzhou and Sizhou. Really, let's go south? ”

"Father-in-law, Yuzhou does not accept us. The nations of other places. Can you accept us? ”

"So where are we going?"

Li Ru couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling very aggrieved in his heart. Obviously, it was a big victory. How do you feel like you've been defeated? He actually already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know if this idea could be accepted by Dong Zhuo. And. Where to go doesn't seem to be something they can decide, so how do they plan?

At this moment, Dong Yan ran in.

"Father, didn't you promise me not to kill the captives?"

Xun Zhuo patted his head, "Ugly, don't come here to make trouble, okay?" Who are those? It's an anti-thief, an out-and-out anti-thief. If you don't kill them, will the court let them go? If we don't get it right, we will still be implicated. ”

"But ......"

Before Dong Yan finished speaking, Li Ru came over and patted him on the shoulder, interrupting him.

"Ugly, listen to your brother-in-law, you can't control this matter!" Li Ru said: "Even if we let them go, how can we settle them? As you can see, these thieves are no longer the people who simply took up arms and went to the battlefield at the beginning. It has been four months since the rebels rebelled in the first month. swept through Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Chenliu, and it can be said that it was a group of mobs that passed through the battle positions. Let them go, what will you do if they rebel again? ”

"This ......"

Li Ru's words really stumped Dong Li.

Yes, if these people can rebel once, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel a second time.

Although in Dong Li's eyes, these thieves are still a group of rabble. But there is a difference between the rabble and the rabble.

Once something happens, even your own children will have to pay for it.

But doesn't it matter?

Xun Li felt ruthless again. Looking at the numb eyes of those captives, there was that heartbreaking anticipation.

How?

Xun Yan worked hard to recall how Cao Cao had gathered the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army......

But he was very helpless to find that when Cao Cao collected the Qingzhou military land, the dignity of the Han family was completely gone, and the decrees of the imperial court could not be conveyed to the local government at all. Cao Cao could recklessly rein in the thieves at that time, but now ......

"Father, can you give me a little time to think about it, maybe I can come up with a way."

Xun Zhuo and Li Ru glanced at each other, shook their heads with a very helpless wry smile and said, "Ugly, it's not that we don't give you time, it's that we don't have much time." There are so many anti-thieves, and you break eleven towns in a row, and you still press tens of thousands of anti-thieves, staying for one more day will make our grain and grass unable to keep up. If the food and grass can't keep up, what will happen to our soldiers? ”

"That half a day, give me half a day, okay......"

Kaoru begged bitterly, "Father, give me half a day, if I can't think of a way, I can do whatever you want." ”

Li Ru sighed, "Ugly, it's not that we don't give you time, but ...... Well, if you can scrape together enough food for me for three days of tens of thousands of thieves in half a day, I will persuade my father not to do it. Can you figure it out? ”

"This ......"

"It's useless, it's not that my father and I haven't thought of a way, but there's really no way."

"Who says there's no way?"

From outside the living room, a loud voice suddenly came. Followed by Dong Tie and a group of people walked in from outside.

At the head were three scribes. One of them, holding a small child.

The three scribes looked tired and disheveled. Very embarrassed. Behind them was an old man who was not small. When Xun Zhuo saw this old man, he felt that he had some familiarity, but he couldn't remember it.

Behind, followed by a group of generals.

Two of them had hideous and ugly faces. One face is like pale gold, and there is a faint yellow glow in the tiger's eyes. A suit of armor, stained with blood. The other was red-faced and eagle-eyed, and his eyes were blue. He has yellow hair in a shawl and carries a heavy handful of thistle bones. Both of them had minor or severe injuries on their bodies, but they didn't look particularly serious.

Kaoru looked at these people. Xindao: How did they get in?

I was wondering where this was sacred, but I heard Dong Yan shout happily: "Big brother." Third Brother...... You guys, you're still alive! ”

Run over. Hug those two ugly guys.

After Xun Zhuo and Li Ru glanced at each other, they invariably had a strange thought.

It's really like things gather and people are grouped. What kind of people, what kind of friends to look for. The ancients really did not deceive me.

The first scribe arched his hand, "In Xia Nanyang, Qin Shuo!" ”

"Ahh

Xun Zhuo and Li Ru were startled and hurriedly walked around the table. and Qin Shuo saluted.

The scribe holding the child smiled slightly. "In Xiaxiangyang Lumen Mountain people, Pang Degong. I've seen General Zuo Zhonglang. ”

"Jingzhou Kuailiang, I've seen an adult!"

As soon as these three people signed up, they really shocked Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.

Kuailiang. is famous, but it can't afford to be too famous. But that Pang Degong is a person that even the general admires.

Li Ru naturally knew that this Pang De Commons came from.

hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Student Li Ru, I've seen Pang Gong!" ”

"You ......"

Xun Zhuo wanted to ask Qin Shuo about the situation, but Qin Shuo respectfully knew the old man behind him, "Lord Zuo Zhonglang, this is the father of the general, He Zhen He Old Lady." ”

He Jin's Lao Tzu? Still alive?

Xun Zhuoxin said: No wonder I think this old guy is familiar, it turns out to be He Suigao's old man. Sure enough, what Lao Tzu produces what kind of seed.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still went over to salute Mrs. He.

The old lady was very tired, "Zuo Zhonglang will not need to be polite, the old man is just a white body, how can he afford your big gift?" Just now outside, I listened to the young man pleading for those anti-thieves. To be honest, I didn't want to care about this matter, but my son and I had a life-saving grace...... As long as the old decay is a guarantee, those anti-thieves will not recover, and the old decay should guarantee it. ”

Xun Zhuo was shocked, looked at Li Ru, and then looked at Dong Li.

Why is this kid a stuffy gourd? saved Mrs. He, but I didn't even hear him mention it.

In fact, it is not Dong Li's sullen gourd, but the difference in understanding.

Mrs. He thought that Dong Li stayed in Wanxian County, and after fighting hard against thieves, he broke out of the siege because he protected his territory. As for Xun Li, he just felt that his arrival in Wanxian County was just a coincidence. To put it bluntly, it is for self-preservation, not for others.

As for Pang Degong, he thought that Dong Li was worried about the country and the people by doing this, but he was really loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Anyway, three people have three ideas, and they don't want to break it. Naturally, a very beautiful misunderstanding arises.

Feeling his father's gaze, Dong Li was also a little inexplicable.

But since Old Lady He said it, he thought about it and didn't explain. Let this misunderstanding continue to exist beautifully.

"Well...... this"

Xun Yu didn't dare to boast about Haikou to ensure that the thieves would not recover.

Glancing at Pang Degong as if asking for help, Pang Degong thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable." ”

What do you mean?

"The son is kind-hearted, and he is a good person. But although the thief is bewitched, there are inevitably people with ill intentions mixed in. In my opinion, capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are unforgivable. It has long been heard that Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are Qiang people who often make trouble...... It's not as good as this, but it's fateful. At that time, Huangfu Gui had offered advice to collect the displaced people, mixed with the Qiang people, slowly assimilated them, and pacified the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou. It's just that Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and people are reluctant to move, so it is difficult to make a plan. ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xun Li's mind, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Pound's commons.

"Yes, these thieves are also people who have experienced the battle array, so they can increase the combat power of the border army on the one hand, and increase the number of Han people in Liangzhou on the other hand. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, father, and you agree. ”

Mrs. He said: "The old man can ask the child to intercede on his behalf." ”

This has already given Dong Yan a lot of face, although there is no guarantee that he will succeed. But it's also a promise.

The old man has this kind of thinking, and there is also an element of self-esteem.

The older you get, the more afraid you are of death. Being able to live tens of thousands of lives is also a merit.

Maybe the grace of the descendants will make the luck of the old He family last longer. Moreover, it can be regarded as returning Dong Li's favor.

Li Ru frowned, "But now the key is ...... Grain and grass. ”

Qin Shuo said: "Although Nanyang has been looted, the rations can still be enough for a day or two. Jingzhou has never been short of grain and grass, as long as it can survive these few days, I would like to invite the Jingzhou family. Donate some grain and grass for these mobs to move to Liangzhou. ”

Inside. There are also calculations by Qin Shuo.

Nanyang has fertile land and a large population. And after the washing. All aspects need to be rebuilt, and a large amount of grain and grass is needed. Seventy percent of the thieves gathered in Nanyang were locals. Under the pretext of resettling mobs, it is just right to knock those big clans ...... First, in order to protect the family and the people, and second, you can sell the vacated land, and you can also repay Dong Li's favor.

When the time comes, only a small amount of money will be paid. in exchange for more supplies. Why not bother?

This is a blink of an eye. The people in the hall had a myriad of thoughts.

Even Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were thinking about how to make a profit from it, and the only ones who didn't think about these were except for Pang Degong. That is, Kaoru is a dry person.

Seeing that this matter has already been resolved, Dong Li's heart is over.

As long as these adults can nod their heads, how to operate is not something for him to think about.

I don't want to stay in the living room anymore and watch the bosses calculate and intrigue with each other. stepped forward to confess his guilt, and pulled Dian Wei and Shamoke away. At this time, Pang Tong woke up in a daze, saw Xun Li, and immediately struggled to get out of Pang Degong's arms, opened his arms, and shouted in a milky voice: "Big ugly, big ugly, come and hug!" ”

Xun Cheng was very helpless, and Pang Degong was very embarrassed.

Dong Zhuo was a little strange, "Pang Gong, why do you call me that big ugly dog?" ”

Pang Degong said: "This matter ...... My nephew, because of his appearance, is nicknamed Ugly. I didn't think about it, but the boy also said that his nickname was Ugly...... So he called him the big clown, and the boy called him the little clown. ”

The people in the living room couldn't help but laugh.

Xun Zhuo began to think again, my family is ugly and Pang's land is ugly...... I don't know if I can bring Pang Degong over? If I get the support of the Pang family, I guess He Suigao won't dare to despise me. Well, it's worth planning.

and Li Ru glanced at it, and they both saw the same meaning.

Xun Zhuo smiled: "In that case, Ugly, you can take Little Ugly to play!" ”

Kaoru is going to die in this heart. I'm such a big person, but you want me to play with such a little slug?

Hey, Daddy, you're trying to calculate others.

As everyone knows, how can you calculate a character like Pang Degong?

picked up Pang Tong at the moment, and the four ugly walked out of the living room with a grin. Pang Tong rode on the neck of Xun Yan very excessively, dancing and laughing. Looking at the nine-foot-tall Dong Li, but being ridden by a child, everyone couldn't help but laugh again.

******

Outside the dilapidated mansion, a group of people gathered.

Kaoru walked out and looked at it, and couldn't help but be happy. It's all old acquaintances...... Huang Shao, Ma Zhen, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wen Ping, Li Yan......

Although they all look embarrassed, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!

Kaoru stepped forward to meet everyone one by one, and when he met Wen Ping, he saw that the wound on his face had healed, but he had left an earthworm-like scar. When I walked, my legs were still a little lame, but mentally I had lost the decadence of the day.

Wanxian County is very dilapidated, and there are no intact houses to be found.

At that moment, Dong Li took everyone out of Wanxian County, and after explaining the situation to Hua Xiong, they came to the camp of the trolls together.

Chen Dao, Dong Zhao and Pei Yuanshao were guarding the prisoners, and only Han De was left in the troll camp.

This guy was practicing martial arts shirtless in the open space of the camp, and it seemed that a tear-up last night did not make him happy.

After the introduction, Han De heard that Xu Huang also used an axe, and he was immediately eager to try.

But Dong Li stopped him. It can be seen that Xu Huang also has injuries on his body, and if he wants to compete, he is afraid that it will be very difficult.

Xun Tie and Cheng Li brought wine, and then silently guarded outside the big tent.

It was then that Kaoru found an opportunity to ask everyone about their experiences during this time. It turned out that after Dong Li broke out of the joint venture that day, Qin Shuo took advantage of the victory to pursue and indeed achieved a brilliant result, and won about ten days for Wanxian.

But ten days later, the Yellow Turban Army, which had made a comeback, launched an even more ferocious attack.

Fortunately, Qin Shuo seized a lot of supplies, and finally stared at the opponent's counterattack. But one day, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive stopped. Although Qin Shuo said that he didn't dare to relax, in spirit, it was inevitable that there would still be a little bit of relaxation.

A few days later, it rained heavily in Nanyang.

The other party dug up the water and washed down the wall of Wanxian County.

Qin Shuo and the others had no choice but to take more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army, including more than 200 Wuxi barbarians, to withdraw from Wanxian County together.

Before leaving, Kuai Liang proposed the idea of killing Zhang Mancheng.

Anyway, it's a burden to carry, and it can't be left to the Yellow Turban Army. Qin Shuo didn't expect that it was Zhang Mancheng's death that caused Zhang Yan to give up his handsome position, and even fled away because of this. Otherwise, it will be difficult to predict the outcome or defeat.

After escaping from Wanxian, Qin Shuo and the others hid in the deep mountains thirty miles away from Wanxian.

It wasn't until last night that the fire in Wanxian County took people out of the mountain and rushed to Wanxian overnight. By this time, however, the war was over.

It can be seen that everyone is really tired.

First, they fought fiercely for nearly 100 days, and then they took people to hide in Tibet, and they all reached the point where they could no longer support it.

Now that the war is over, it's time to have a drink.

Huang Shao and Ma Zhen were the first to get drunk, and then Wen Ping, Li Yan, and Xu Huang also drunk. Dong Li accompanied Huang Zhong and the three of them until it was dark, and finally let the three of them fall down satisfied. was also a little drunk, and asked Dong Tie and Cheng Li to take people to settle the drunks, and then they calmed down alone, looking at Pang Tong, who was already asleep on the Hu bed, and pondered.

The war is over......

But then, what should I do?

Kaoru felt a tiredness that she had never felt before. I'm really tired, and sometimes thinking about things is more tiring than fighting.

Go back to Lintao, go back to Liangzhou.

Grandma's message to me: 3,000 people under the door, when he * Yangcheng.

Perhaps, it's time to get started...... Fame, background, I can't ask for it.

But I may not be unobtainable. With a strong general, I can have land. With land, maybe it will make the senior brother change his mind.

******

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has basically subsided, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with the Servants......

It doesn't end there, though. Huangfu Song's death will also accompany him in the following years. Well, the battle is over, and something should happen......
