Chapter 497: Lobbying Zhang Yan returned in vain
Although twelve years have passed, Li Yi doesn't worry about everything, and his face hasn't changed, so without Fan Chan's introduction, Li Damu can immediately recognize it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Damu saw Li Yi, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Engong's request for reconstruction, I, Li Damu, dare not forget." As he spoke, he struck his head on the ground.
At that time, Li Damu was just a teenager, and now he has reached the age of standing, and his face has changed greatly, Li Yi didn't immediately recognize him when he saw him, but when he saw his true feelings, he no longer doubted it, and stepped forward and dragged Li Damu up and said: "You and I said goodbye that day, I didn't expect to see each other again now, this is really a wish!" Li Yi remembered that he was two teenagers back then, so he casually asked, "How are your little friends now?" ”
Seeing Li Yi asking, Li Damu hurriedly replied: "Engong asked, Li Damu didn't dare to hide it, but we are brothers of the opposite sex, my righteous brother was originally surnamed Zhu, because he was the third in the family, and his original name was Zhusan. Engong also knows that our brothers are all from Changshan Zhending, because of the flood in the third year of Guanghe, both of us have lost relatives. Because the two of us were digging birds and picking eggs in the mountains more than ten miles away, we were lucky enough to escape. Engong also knows what happened after that, so I don't need to go into details. Since Engong gave money and persuaded the two of us to be kind, we are also hot in our hearts, so we have the idea of escorting Miss Fan's family. But the money given by Engong is not much, and we are young and don't know how to save, where can we afford to spend five mouths? didn't support for many days, there was not much money left, and we had no choice but to say goodbye to Miss Fan's family, and then we had a heavy **** old business. But don't worry, I always keep in mind your words, I have never robbed a poor person of a copper coin! ”
Li Yi nodded, and he said in his heart: The Black Mountain army is mixed, although Li Damu and even Zhang Yan can restrain their subordinates, but more than a dozen other large and small forces will inevitably do evil things! Although I persuaded others to be kind, how could I never have such thoughts, and later assassinated the Spirit Emperor......
Li Damu saw that Li Yi did not mean to blame, but showed a look of approval, he felt a little relieved, and continued: "Engong also understands the reason, it's not a last resort, no one will take this road, we robbed corrupt officials, stole profiteers, and accumulated some money, so we will stop it." After that, my two brothers worshipped a famous teacher and learned martial arts. When Yiman went down the mountain, it happened that the Yellow Turban Army held high the banner of righteousness, and my brother and I combined, since the imperial court did not let us live poor, we simply took the opportunity to openly engage with the imperial court, so we also raised the banner of the righteous army, recruited displaced people along the way, and fought in all directions in Changshan country, and also conquered several cities. Whenever the officers and soldiers carried out a large-scale clean-up, we led the rebels to hide in the mountains. In the second year of Zhongping, we have a small reputation, so we are valued by Zhang Niujiao, the strength of General Zhang is the strongest in our Taihang Mountain, and he also relies on his high prestige, the stragglers from all walks of life are connected together, he calls himself a general, and the Montenegrin army is initially formed. After we joined forces with General Zhang, due to the increase in strength, we began to attack the counties near the Taihang Mountain, and we won at the beginning. However, when the troops marched to attack Gauntao, General Zhang was seriously wounded by a stray arrow, and when he was dying, he passed the position of leader of the Montenegrin army to his brother Zhusan. And the elder brother was also grateful to General Zhang for his kindness, and since then he has taken Zhang as his surname and changed his name to Zhang Yan and Feiyan. After several years of development, our Montenegrin army has expanded to hundreds of thousands today. ”
Li Yi listened to Li Damu's memories and heard that he had nothing to hide from himself, Li Yi nodded frequently, and when he saw that he had finished speaking, he asked, "Damu, what do you think now?" ”
Li Damu learned from Fan Chan's mouth that Li Yi was benevolent and charitable, and he could treat the villagers under his rule or the people in the temporary station. From the moment Li Damu believed in Fan Chan, he made up his mind and took his subordinates to join Li Yi. Li Damu saw Li Yi asking, and he said without hesitation: "If Engong doesn't dislike Li Damu's stubbornness, I am willing to lead the people to follow Engong!" ”
Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, he picked up his big hand and patted Li Damu's shoulder and said, "Why did Damu say this?" You can look down on me Li Yi and treat me as a brother, I Li Yi can't ask for it! ”
Zhang Ying wanted to persuade Li Damu, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to defect. Zhang Ying took the opportunity to say: "Since Damu and Feiyan are old friends with my brother, I don't want to be an enemy of the Montenegrin Army anymore, can Damu facilitate a truce between our two troops?" ”
Li Damu was full of pride at this time, and he said confidently: "It is not difficult for me Li Damu to strike the army, I am willing to persuade my brother Zhang Yan to take him to the lord with my incorruptible tongue!" ”
Seeing that Li Damu's words were impassioned, Li Yi also believed his words, he took Li Damu's hand and said: "Brother, I can trust you, those brothers who follow you to attack the mountain, you can take them all away, I am here to wait for your good news!" ”
Seeing that Li Yi trusted him so much, Li Damu's heart was surging, and he bowed down in front of Li Yi again when he was leaving, and then he took the released prisoners of war out of Li Yi's military camp.
Li Yi, Zhang Ying, Yu Bing, and Fan Chan watched Li Damu take people away, and everyone returned to the Chinese army, Zhang Ying saw that there were no outsiders, she said: "Brother, don't be too proud, have you forgotten that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?" ”
Li Yizheng was full of confidence, waiting for Zhang Yan to lead the army to vote, hearing Zhang Ying's words, Li Yi knew that Zhang Ying never made a fool of himself, since she said this, she must have her reason, and hurriedly asked: "What does Ying'er mean by this?" ”
Zhang Ying saw Li Yi's panicked face, knowing that he was afraid that Li Damu would not believe what he said, and he would never return. Zhang Ying said: "Li Damu is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is an honest and trustworthy person. But Zhang Yan, as the lord of the Montenegrin rebel army, how could Li Damu be able to speak in a few words? ”
When Li Yi heard this, it was like pouring cold water, from top to bottom. He said to himself: I'm still too optimistic!
At this time, Zhao Yun also led the troops back, and he launched a contact battle with Zhang Yanjun, and he already had the upper hand, but after receiving a military order from Zhang Ying, he had to retreat. Yu Bing saw that Zhao Yun didn't know what to do, so he told the cause and effect of the incident.
Only then did Zhao Yun understand the reason for the withdrawal of the army, and when he saw that there was a best strategy for surrendering the army without a fight, Zhao Yun agreed. Li Yi was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't know if Li Damu would be able to return smoothly.
The next day, Li Damu came to see Li Yi with a depressed expression, Li Yi saw his bitter melon look on his face, and knew that he had returned in vain. Sure enough, Li Damu gave a salute with a bitter face and said: "Li Damu has insulted the mission, please punish the lord!" (To be continued.) )
