Chivalry has existed since ancient times.

There were countless righteous heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, and Dong Zhuo, the imperial master of the dynasty, was one of them. Robbing the rich and helping the poor, doing the right thing for heaven has always been what righteous heroes do.

In a town in Xinxi County, a group of people wearing gray and yellow scarves gathered in the big clan mansion in the town, the first of whom was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a grim face.

"Brother Li, inquire clearly." Hurried footsteps were heard outside the mansion, and a sweaty boy ran in.

As soon as the leader heard this man speak, he immediately stood up and asked with a happy face, "Who did the fire last night?" ”

The little guy was out of breath, ignoring his question, grabbed the cup on the table and poured water to drink, and said, "Let me drink a few sips of water first." The chief did not blame, but poured him a few glasses of water.

After a while, the little guy who inquired about the news came to his senses and said, "The fires in Pingyu and Gushi were all set by Xincai Chen's family. ”

Chen? Chen Taigong, who is famous in Jiang Ru? Xiao Wu continued: "Taigong Chen died of illness a few months ago, and now the head of the Chen family is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. I heard that he was only fifteen years old, and he was already the county keeper of Yiyang County. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole mansion was in turmoil, and most people didn't believe what the little guy said.

"Who are you bluffing, you can be a county guard at the age of fifteen? The hair didn't even rise. ”

"It's just ......"

Everyone's questioning made the little guy in charge of inquiring about the news feel insulted, and he shouted loudly: "Don't believe it, although people are young, they dare to touch the beard of the Yuan family, and there was a champion Hou Huo who was sick and seventeen in charge, why can't there be fifteen county guards." ”

That being said, everyone still didn't believe it, and the scene was a mess.

The leader surnamed Li motioned for everyone to be quiet and asked, "You explain things more clearly." ”

This leader surnamed Li was obviously the leader of the place, quite prestigious, and as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

The little guy made a smug face at them, and only when the leader surnamed Li was slightly impatient did he say slowly: "The villagers of Xincai County said that Liu Qi is actually the grandson of Chen Taigong, and after Chen Taigong died of illness, the Chen family was taken over by him. Later, his son Liu Jingzhou captured Yiyang County, and appointed Liu Qi as Yiyang County. Later General Yuan Shu was angry, so he wanted to attack Yiyang County, and Liu Qi was still in Xincai at that time. ”

"I don't know who leaked the news and exposed the news that Yuan Shu was going to attack Yiyang County in the spring of the next year and defeat Jingzhou, so Liu Qi was thinking about counter-planning. Hence yesterday's fire. ”

"Most of the families in Runan County are fish and meat people, and they are well cooked!" The leader surnamed Li suddenly shouted, startling everyone, but they cheered one after another.

"Guess what, how much did that Liu Qi use to burn down other people's big granaries?" The little guy bought a pass here, deliberately attracting people and couldn't wait to ask him.

The leader surnamed Li touched his head funny and said, "Don't show it anymore, say it quickly." I think we all wanted to do it at the beginning, but we couldn't find a chance to do it. ”

"Liu Taishou divided 5,000 troops to attack Pingyu at night, and then led out the defenders of Gushi, and divided more than 1,500 troops to burn down the granary." The sudden change of attitude did not make people feel a trace of dissatisfaction, and under his narration, everyone gradually understood how tragic the fierce battle that took place that night was.

With about 7,000 people fighting against the elite of more than 10,000 of the Yuan family, and still being able to win such a major victory, everyone at this moment is no longer contemptuous of that fifteen-year-old Taishou.

"Also, didn't someone come to buy a war horse some time ago?" The little guy took a sip of water and said, "That's Liu Taishou's men, some Xiangyong has gone with them, and they are recruiting Xiangyong." ”

"And this?" The leader surnamed Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Is it true?" ”

"It's true, I saw a lot of newly recruited villagers in Xincai County joining them, and there is money to pay." The little servant said with a little envy: "As officers and soldiers in their place, there is still food and salary every month, I heard that if you are willing to follow them to Yiyang County, each household will get one acre of land." ”

"I heard that Yuan Shu was very annoyed when he heard that the granary was burned, and he had already sent a large army to attack Xincai." Xiao Wu added: "Therefore, Liu Taishou had to recruit Xiang Yong to resist Yuan Shu. ”

The leader surnamed Li was quite moved, he glanced at everyone, and said: "Taigong Chen's reputation is shocking Jiangru, and each of us has received his favor to some extent. If there is chaos today, our strength as righteous heroes is always too weak to make a difference. Here, I, Li Tong, want to take refuge in Liu Taishou, I don't know what you think? ”

"The Yuan family has been evil for many years, and Liu Taishou's fire has burned out our evil spirit, and now the Chen family is in trouble, we can't ignore it." One of the people wearing a yellow scarf said loudly: "I, Wu Ba, am willing to follow Commander Li to join Liu Qi Taishou and make contributions!" ”

"We are all willing to follow Commander Li, take refuge in Liu Taishou, and make meritorious contributions." Everyone was enthusiastic and bowed to Li Tong.

Li Tong was originally a native of Jiangxia, a good man, with a rich family background, and often recruited righteous men to do chivalrous deeds, so he offended many people. Later, he recruited Wu Ba's Yellow Turban Army of hundreds of people and became their leader, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor in Yingchuan County, Runan County, and doing chivalrous and righteous things.

"Good!" Li Tong stood up and said, "It is worthy of being my Li Tong's good brother!" Without further ado, we'll pack it up right away. Junior, what's wrong with you? Li Tong couldn't help but ask when he saw that the little guy was motionless and had something to say.

"Doesn't it seem a little insincere for us to go like this?" The little guy pretended to be smart and said: "Why don't we recruit some more villagers, buy war horses and then go." ”

The words of the junior reminded Li Tong, and he hurriedly instructed Wu Ba and others to organize the recruitment of Xiangyong, the preparation of ordnance and other matters, and set off for Xincai to join Liu Qi on the same day.

*******************************************************

Early in the morning, Xincai.

After a day of rectification, the Euphorbia and Baiyi camps have recovered a lot.

"The situation is critical, Mr. Wenxiu, you have to go to Xinye this time no matter what." Liu Qi looked solemn and told the guards beside him: "Even if you die, you must escort Mr. Wenxiu to Xinye safely." ”

"Rest assured, my lord, I swear to protect Mr. The guard solemnly promised.

Xu Jing couldn't cry or laugh, but his heart was full of emotion, and said, "Lord, take care!" Liu Qi waved his hand and motioned for the guards to escort Xu Jing to Xinye.

As soon as Xu Jing left, the scout came in to report that a righteous man came to vote.

"Hurry up, please!" Liu Qi was suddenly overjoyed, and wondered who would take refuge in? In a hurry, Zhao Yunchen was called to go out to greet the righteous people who came to take refuge.

In the Chen family school field, hundreds of people were seen early, some were riding horses, and some were running quickly, they were not well-equipped, but their spirits were flashing and domineering.

The first person wore a yellow scarf, looking like a yellow turban army, and two halberds were draped in the reserve, majestic.

Before he arrived at the school, he motioned for hundreds of people to dismount, walked over, and bowed: "Li Tong meets Liu Taishou!" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly helped him up and said, "Leader Li doesn't have to be like this, this is the ......" Liu Qi asked knowingly, suppressing his happy emotions and asking: "Dare to ask where Leader Li came from?" ”

"I have heard of Mrs. Chen's prestige, but now I have heard that Mrs. Liu is in trouble, so I took this group of villagers to join the lord!" Li Tong, a person who practices martial arts, is a straightforward man who directly skipped the red tape and said his purpose: "I hope to take it in!" ”

"It is my blessing that I have the help of you." Liu Qi was overjoyed and said: "Don't say anything about whether to take in or not, you and I are brothers!" ”

"The Lord is serious!" Li Tong's resolute face showed joy, and said: "It is our duty to serve the Lord. ”

"My lord, this time I brought more than 700 righteous soldiers, more than 300 war horses, and I also brought not very good news." Although Li didn't talk much, every sentence was true, and he didn't hide his purpose at all.

"Good!" Liu Qi and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, Liu Qi shouted happily, and said: "Wenda (Li Tongzi) is really a charcoal in the snow, with the help of Wenda, why worry about big things!" ”

"Come, Wenda, I'll introduce you." Liu Qi pointed at Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, and said, "This is my second brother Zhao Yun and Shu Zhi." You know each other, you know each other. ”

"I've seen two generals." Li Tong was about to bow his head, but Zhao Yunchen and the two of them supported him at the same time, and said: "The lord said, you and I are both brothers, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone looked at each other and laughed, invisibly narrowing the distance between each other. Zhao Yun asked, "I wonder what bad news General Li brought?" ”

"Pingyu has been taken over by Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Shu sent Yuan Cheng's army to attack Xincai today." Li Tong said.

"Reliable information?" Liu Qi was taken aback and asked. Li Tong nodded and said, "When the last general came along the road, he had already heard a lot of rumors, and specially sent scouts to Pingyu to investigate, and there were 5,000 horse troops stationed outside Pingyu. ”

"Yuan Cheng moves so fast!" Liu Qi pondered for a while and said, "The evacuation is urgent, second brother, you immediately lead the Euphorbia battalion to cross the river." Uncle Zhi, you break off. ”

"Wenda, I think you are also a good halberd, why don't you just add these seven hundred people to the halberd battalion? You are a lieutenant general in the Euphorbia Battalion and help the second brother to command. Liu Qi asked Li Daodao.

"But it's up to the lord to arrange!" Li Tong was not surprised at all that Liu Qi withdrew from Xincai, if Liu Qi insisted on Xincai, it was not worth his life to vote, and he didn't mind at all as a deputy general, after all, he was a newcomer, and it was difficult to convince the public.

"Well, so. You immediately follow the second brother to arrange for the soldiers to cross the river. Liu Qi sighed and said, "After crossing the river, immediately rush to Xinxi!" All the questions, the second brother will explain it to you on the way. When you run to the new breath, someone will answer you, and my uncle and I will come later. Take care all the way! ”

"No!" Li Tong and Zhao Yun took the order to go, reorganized the Euphorbia battalion, and quickly evacuated Xincai.
