Chapter 138 The Bandits

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After leaving Zitong, the road to the north became more and more bumpy, and the speed of the convoy became slower and slower.

However, Liu Xin looked at the steep cliff and still felt that it was better to slow down.

On the third day after leaving Chengdu, it was getting dark, and the convoy stopped on a hill and camped on the spot.

Liu Xin looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh, the first snow in 181 AD was more than ever... Well, Liu Xin doesn't know if it's early or late.

When Jiang Wei and Wang Shuang camped in the convoy, they took more than a dozen convoy guards and went up the mountain to hunt game, but because of the weather, Jiang Wei and the others came back soon, and basically everyone had one or two pheasants and hares in their hands.

However, if Liu Xin was not dazzled, what Wang Shuang was carrying on his shoulders should be a big wild boar, which looked like it weighed two or three hundred pounds, but Wang Shuang still looked relaxed.

When Wang Shuang approached, Liu Xin found that an arrow had been shot into each of the boar's eyes, and it seemed that the long arrow was directly reaching the brain.

Wang Shuang handed over the wild boar to others to deal with, and then walked to Liu Xin's side and said to show off: "Lord, this wild boar was hunted by me and Boyo, and one of us shot an arrow directly through its eyes and killed it with one blow." ”

Liu Xin nodded, with Jiang Wei and Wang Shuang's skills, it was easy to hunt this wild boar.

Liu Xin asked Su Jia to come up with a lot of barbecue seasonings, and in this wilderness, wild boar is only suitable for barbecue.

But after all, this is the original ecology, pure natural free-range wild boar, the fishy smell is naturally very strong, Liu Xin had to be salted, then directly stacked with seasonings, put on the fire and began to roast.

Just as Liu Xin was about to start enjoying his first wild barbecue in this world, he heard a sudden sound of fighting and shouting not far away.

Liu Xin frowned, in this barren mountain and wilderness, if it was too late today, when he suddenly remembered the sound of fighting, it could only explain one problem, that is, nine times out of ten, he encountered bandits.

Su Jia looked at the direction from which the voice came from, and said, "We only left Jiayin Pass yesterday, and now we should have reached the territory of Baishui. ”

Liu Xin nodded and said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, you go and take twenty guards with me, and you will be responsible for guarding the convoy." ”

Jiang Wei and Wang Shuang nodded, and then they each got up to gather people.

Liu Xin took Jiang Wei and the others and continued to advance north for three hundred meters, and found the source of the sound on a hillside.

It turned out that there were more than 30 bandits dressed as aliens and armed with weapons, surrounding a group of travelers, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

Although there are more than forty travelers in this team, the number is superior, but there are only about a dozen people with weapons, and they are not professional escort warriors, but more like scribes with swords, so they can only defend with a few carriages as the center, but it seems that they can't resist the next round of attacks of the bandits.

Jiang Wei observed for a moment, and then said, "These bandits should all be from the Di tribe. ”

Liu Xin frowned, he didn't expect that as soon as he entered Baishui, he met the Di people.

Di people have appeared in the Warring States period before Qin, distributed in the adjacent areas of the three provinces of GSSXSC, that is, the three counties of Zitong, Hanzhong and Wudu in the Han Dynasty, engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture, there are many tribal branches, there are Qingdi, Baidi, Gandi and Bayi, Baimayi, Yinping and other branches, in the period of the two Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Di people have established the "Qiu Chi", "Qianqin", "Houliang" regime, but because they often live with the Qiang people, some historians believe that the two ethnic groups come from the same source.

However, the Di people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were often the one who caused trouble, robbing homes and houses, and now Liu Xin happened to bump into him.

Liu Xin asked Jiang Wei and the others to get ready, as long as the Di people attacked, everyone would rush down the hillside directly, and the Di people would be caught off guard.

However, the leader of this group of Di bandits also seemed to recognize that many of the travelers were dressed as scribes, perhaps thinking that it was profitable, and did not continue to attack, but said in broken Chinese: "You all lay down your weapons for me, maybe I can let you live." ”

As soon as the leader of the Di bandits said this, the travelers began to make noise, and they were soon divided into surrender and death fighters.

However, in view of the current critical situation, there is no doubt that the capitulation faction has the advantage, but even if it is a surrender faction, it is not a fool, and it will not disarm and surrender just by the words of the leader of the bandits, and let others slaughter them.

Soon, the capitulation faction also elected a middle-aged man about thirty years old as a representative, and began to negotiate with the leader of the Di bandits, "This king, we are just a group of travelers traveling together, not a convoy of a wealthy family, nor a caravan under the hands of a rich merchant and magnate, we can barely scrape together a dozen taels of gold worth of property, and ask this king to accept it, and then let us leave here." ”

The leader of the Di people and bandits smiled, and said in a suspicious tone: "I think you Han people are not honest, most of you are dressed as scholars, but I know that you Han people can be qualified to study, but they are all children of rich families, how can you add up to make up more than ten taels of gold, you must be trying to deceive me!" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "The king's words are wrong, we are just some ordinary scholars, not to mention that we went to Hanzhong together this time, just to participate in a literary meeting, and we didn't carry too much belongings with us, so we also invited the king Mingjian." ”

The leader of the Di people and bandits pondered for a moment before he spoke: "That's right, you can't make up too much money like this, but your family should be able to make up more money, so please go back to the cottage with me to rest and rest, and then write a letter to the family, each of you can redeem your life with only twenty taels of gold, but if I don't receive the ransom within a month, then don't blame me for burying you alive in this mountain." ”

As soon as these words came out, the travelers were in an uproar, but they did not expect that the leader of the Diren bandits wanted to imprison them all and extort ransom from their families.

Liu Xin on the hillside touched his chin, and the plot of this scene seemed to be a little familiar.

At this time, Jiang Wei also bent his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the leader of the Di people bandits, as long as Liu Xin gave an order, this arrow would pierce the head of the Di people's leader.

ps: Tomorrow the author will go to do a small operation, I don't know if I can code words, so I want to take a day off, which can be regarded as a rest and prepare to be put on the shelf.

In the end, it is still necessary to brazenly ask for recommendation votes.

In addition, I recommend my friend Bodhi's Jin Dynasty text - "Shangpin Qing Xiang", which is very good.
