In May of the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), in the reluctance and blessing of Yu and Fuyi villagers, 600 soldiers and their families led by Liu Yong and Dong Xi set off for Xuzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Yong arranged for Pei Yuanshao to lead the reconnaissance platoon of the spy company to explore the road first, Dong Xi led the department to press the formation in the rear, and Liu Yong and Zhou Cang led the rest of the soldiers and their families in the middle. According to Liu Yong's request, all the departments did not play flags along the way, but in the countryside, they walked in a low-key manner.

On this day, only more than 80 miles away from the county seat of Anhui County, Pei Yuanshao in front sent someone to report to Liu Yong, saying that there was a group of more than 40 thieves guarding the gate of a farmer's yard three miles ahead, but they were besieging but not attacking, as if they wanted to capture someone inside. As soon as Liu Yong heard this, he ordered his subordinates to speed up their advance, and ordered Dong Xi and others in the rear to follow up, while he took Zhou Cang and Dong Yun to the front in a hurry to join Pei Yuanshao's spy company.

After a while, Pei Yuanshao sent someone to report again, and it turned out that from the shouting of the gang of thieves, he learned that the besieged was a large family on the outskirts of Anhui County, with a solid family background, and more importantly, there were two girls in this family who were both like flowers and jade, and they were famous far and wide. This gang of thieves not only coveted the wealth of the family, but also coveted the appearance of the girl. It's just that there are many people in this family's house, and they are supported by the people in the township, and they are close to Anhui City, so although they have this heart, they don't dare to make a mistake, but they just send people to inquire about the news from time to time. On this day, they heard that the family was going out to worship their relatives, and they did not have many family members with them, so the gang of thieves chose a sparsely populated place on the road they had to pass through and laid an ambush. When the family got here, the gang of thieves came out and surrounded them. Although the family had more than a dozen Zhuang Ding entourage, there were forty or fifty thieves, and all of them were fierce outlaws, and they were caught off guard to meet the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the villagers desperately guarded and retreated into a deserted farmhouse not far away. Fortunately, the purpose of these thieves was only to rob people and plunder money, so they did not break down the door and attack, and gave an hour's time limit for replying.

When Dong Yun heard that it was a girl who was surrounded, she was very anxious and hurriedly said, "Big brother! Let's go and save people, if it's too late, I'm afraid that the thieves will be punished. With our strength, we can deal with this gang of bandits. ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "No." If we rush to the rescue, we are afraid that those thieves will see that there are many of us, and the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry and take the family hostage. We are afraid that the result will be counterproductive. ”

Dong Yun nodded, and said anxiously: "Big brother is also reasonable, but time is pressing, how can this be good?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll think about it and see if there's a safer way." Liu Yong's brain turned fast, Dong Yun stared at Liu Yong closely, his eyes didn't dare to blink, and his heart was in his throat.

Suddenly, Liu Yong's eyes lit up and said, "It's better to ...... like us" After hearing Liu Yong's words, Dong Yun suddenly smiled, and Zhou Cang and the others couldn't help but clap their hands.

At this moment, the gang of thieves waited outside the door for half an hour, and they were also a little impatient. One of the young generals whispered to the leader: "Brother Du, let's start from General Tiangong and do the right thing for the sky, but the officers and soldiers are powerful, and the brothers have been defeated in a row, and they have no choice but to fall into the grass." Although Liao is a thief, he also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame......"

The bandit leader surnamed Du didn't wait for the young general to finish speaking, and interjected: "When I followed the Tiangong general's incident, I swore to kill all the landlords and corrupt officials in the world, brother, have you forgotten?" ”

The young general replied: "But that Qiao Gong is kind, and the surrounding people have a lot of praise, how can it be compared with those rich and unkind landlords?" ”

The bandit surnamed Du said: "How can there be any kind rich people, all the landlords in the world are ordinary black-hearted." ”

The young general was silent for a while, and said: "Since we have fallen into the grass, we can just loot some property, and it is really not what the younger brother thinks about forcibly taking other girls as his wife." ”

The bandit leader surnamed Du patted the young general on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't know, the two young ladies of the Qiao family are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they are famous far and wide. And my brother is not only the first master of my cottage, but also a first-class talent, just a good match. ”

"My brother married his sister, and my brother wanted his sister, a beauty with a hero, haha......" The bandit surnamed Du laughed lewdly, thinking about the appearance of the sister, and swallowed a few times, "Okay, don't think about it, you just listen to my brother." After speaking, the man turned to the courtyard and shouted, "Qiao Lao'er, my brother and I are such talents, and we will not disgrace your family." Give you an hour to think about it, it's for your face, don't give shame. Hurry up and sacrifice your daughter, otherwise when the time comes, Du will not only want your daughter, but also loot your manor, and then stop blaming Du for being ruthless and not recognizing you as an old man, hahaha...... "Except for the young general, the rest of the bandits laughed nonstop."

The man in the house, who was called Qiao Lao'er, was about fifty years old, with white hair and long hair, a frightened face, and wept: "How is it good?" How is it good? What did I, Qiao Xuan, do wrong, and God punished me like this? ”

The two daughters were also crying in a low voice, and the eldest daughter said, "Daddy, since you can't have both, it's better for Daddy to sacrifice his daughter to the thief, so that he can save his father, sister and the rest of the family." ”

"Sister!" My sister was moved in her heart, "But didn't my sister hear the thief say that we want both sisters?" Gritting his teeth, he said to his father, "In that case, Daddy, you will give me and my sister to the thieves, and first save Daddy and his family." ”

Old man Qiao saw that his two daughters were so filial, and his heart was even more sad, and he cried: "Daughter, your mother left early, our father and daughter depend on each other, you are all the heart and soul of your father, how can your father be willing to give your sisters to thieves and let them spoil them?" ”

The little daughter gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "My daughter has her own measure, and she will not let that thief insult my innocence." ”

Old man Qiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Daughter, you can't do stupid things." You have to have three long and two short, and your father can't live anymore. The family burst into tears.

At this moment, Qiao's family heard a rapid and chaotic sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the hooves became louder and louder, and they were actually coming here. I only heard the thief outside the door shouting: "Who is coming, quickly dismount and put your name on, otherwise, we are welcome." Then there was another clanging of knives.

Qiao's family couldn't help but be overjoyed, could it be that there were rescuers coming? But someone replied: "We are the heroes of Qinglong Mountain, where are you waiting?" Hearing that there was another gang of thieves, the Qiao family was even more frightened, and the little flame of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again.

The thief was suspicious, this Qinglong Mountain is hundreds of miles away from here, everyone has no contact with each other, what are so many people doing here? Thinking that although the other party had a large number of people, they were all from the same way, the thief's heart was half relieved, and he replied: "Du Yuan of Tianzhu Mountain, who is the big boss of the cottage, this is my brother, and he is also the second master, and his surname is Liao. As he spoke, he gestured to the handsome young man next to him.

Liu Yong was taken aback when he heard Liao Hua's name, the name "Liao Hua" is too familiar, isn't there such a sentence? "There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is the pioneer", I didn't expect to meet this famous general of Shu in the late Three Kingdoms here.

Liu Yong looked Liao Hua up and down, only to see that the young man was dressed in a yellow scarf brocade, holding a steel gun, heroic and compelling, with a righteous spirit between his eyebrows, which was very different from other bandits, so he nodded secretly. Liu Yong also arched his hand and said, "Under Liu Yong, Liu Chongru." Another finger, "This is the third master of the cottage, Zhou Cang, and the fourth master Pei Yuanshao." ”

Na Liao Hua looked at the leader Liu Yong, and saw that this person was a Confucian scholar, medium height, in his twenties, although his appearance was mediocre, he was born with a sense of arrogance, and the other two generals were majestic and domineering, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

Du Yuan saw that the person who came was several times his own, and he was also a little weak-hearted, and his words were also a little polite, so he arched his hand and said: "Everyone is passing by the local area, Du should have put on a big banquet to wash the dust for everyone. How can Du have something important to do today, and he can't accompany him, please come to the cottage another day to get together, and Du will definitely accompany you. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "The important thing that Du Dangjia said is the people in this house, right?" ”

Du Yuan's heart sank, and he said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Yong smiled again: "Didn't Du Dangjia ask me why I waited hundreds of miles to come here?" ”

Du Yuan was stunned and said, "Could it be that you are also here for the people in the house?" ”

Liu Yong smiled silently.

A clear-eyed person knew what Liu Yong was thinking at a glance, and Du Yuan said angrily: "Qinglong Mountain is hundreds of miles away from here, and this is the territory of our brothers. You and I don't violate the river water in the well water, don't break the rules on the road in charge of Liu's house. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "The things in the world can only be taken by those who can take them, and this is the rule." ”

Du Yuan was even more angry in his heart, and said: "Is Liu Da in charge of robbing people with Dominia?" ”

Liu Yong chuckled and replied proudly: "It depends on whether Master Du knows each other or not." ”

Du Yuan was even more angry: "Although the number of people in charge of Liu Da's family is large, Du is not easy to mess with. Pointing at Liao Huadao, "Who dares to fight with my brother?" ”

"Some-and-so." Zhou Cang came with a horse, and the sound was like a bell, and when he stood there, it was like a black tower.

Liao Hua stared at Liu Yong for a while, leaned over and whispered in Du Yuan's ear: "Brother Du, I know this big black man, he once served in the Yellow Turban with me, and his skills are not under me. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is better for me to wait for a temporary retreat, and this revenge will be avenged later. ”

At this time, Dong Xi and the rear army also arrived, Du Yuan saw that the enemy was gathering more and more, and he thought that he would not be able to please today, so he took a sip, "Boy, this revenge Du will be avenged." Brothers, let's go. ”

Liu Yong looked at it coldly, and did not chase after it, and when the thief went away, he dismounted, walked to the front of the house, and said softly: "Old man, those thieves have left, you can come out with confidence." ”

Liu Yong screamed a few times, but the door was closed as before, obviously not believing Liu Yong and other "thieves". Liu Yong was helpless and said to Dong Yun: "Yun'er, it seems that you have to go." ”

Dong Yun smiled slightly, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and called softly: "Old man, we are not thieves, but we are just pretending to be thieves in order to prevent those thieves and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry and taking you hostage." ”

Liu Yong also said: "Old man, we are all wealthy and righteous people, and we went to Xuzhou to join the army, but we just passed by your land and happened to encounter this incident." ”

Everyone in the house was skeptical of Liu Yong's words, but Dong Yun was a petite woman, and when she saw so many female dependents accompanying her, she was relieved. The old man Qiao asked the family to open the door, snatched the door, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the rescue, Qiao Xuan is polite here." ”

"Qiao Xuan?" Liu Yong was shocked again, what was in it was not a pair of beauties second only to Diao Chan in the Three Kingdoms era, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, right?
