This time, Sun Qing's heavy armor rode was not small, and when he heard that Deng Ji still had a good horse to send, he was angry a lot.

Zhang Yan has always been a fair person, he doesn't want to take advantage of the young man for nothing, and he wants to win over this little child, so he smiled and said: "I have a lot of you, how can I give you nothing, can you ask for something?" ”

After thinking about it, Deng Ji smiled and said: "There are few strong bows in the valley, if there are two or three stone bows that are not used in the general's tent, please give them!" ”

"Three-stone bow?" His eyes swept over the horn stiff bow on Tai Shi Ci's waist next to him, and Zhang Yan was slightly surprised: "But this one needs to be used?" Is it him who shot Lei Gong? ”

Deng Ji nodded, and hurriedly reported the name of the double halberd, Zhang Yan smiled and said: "What I saw in the Shicai Formation is indeed a fierce general, if you talk about bravery, I am afraid that I will be the first in Montenegro." ”

Stretched out his hand and pointed at Che Huang: "He's not bad, he's a tiger!" ”

In front of this big thief, Tai Shici and Che Huang naturally only had humility, and Zhang Yan said: "There are in the Ershi Bow Army, and they have also obtained a few three-stone hard bows when they attacked the counties before, but no one can use them, so they are all left on the banks of the Hutuo River, and after they return, I will send them to someone!" ”

Knowing that Deng Ji was asking for a bow for his family, and hearing Zhang Yan's promise, Tai Shici thanked him again, but his original strong bow was lost on the way to Liaodong.

"The wounded in this battle, wait for me to ask the ministry, if there is a Qu Shuai who ignores it, he will stay here, and you should take care of it!"

During the march, the wounded soldiers were also difficult to treat, and the drag was not small, not so Qu Shuai was willing to take it back, many brave soldiers in the valley came from the wounded soldiers, Deng Jizheng wished that they didn't want them, so he naturally agreed.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan said with a smile: "After this, Deng Pimple became famous, and there are few people in the world who talk about it, but your name is a folk, but it is a little less majestic!" ”

Zhang Yan laughed, and the pimple couldn't help but be enthusiastic for a while, and continued: "So that the general can know that the boy's real name is Deng Ji, the 'Ji' of Kunzhong Uncle Ji, and the people of Nanyang!" ”

Before hiding his name and origin, it was because the thieves saw the decline of the Yellow Turban, and they were afraid that their own rebellion would harm the clan, but Deng Ji knew that the Han family was declining and there was not much time, and there were more and more people in the world who did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, so there were fewer worries, at this time, listening to Zhang Yan's laughter, he said his real name on impulse, but he didn't want to hide it anymore.

After returning to the valley, Deng Ji first asked Tian Feng to thank him, this famous man had a dark face, and said coldly: "It's not for you, I'm only for the life of my family!" ”

Looking at Tian Feng's appearance, Deng Ji estimated that he was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't come to the stage with a heavy face, so he promised twice, and said: "No matter what the master is, he always saves the old and young of the valley, and he should be thanked by Deng Ji!" ”

"Deng Ji?"

"It's the boy's real name!"

Grain and horses were transported out of the valley to hand over, thousands of old and weak people worked together, and it still took most of the day's effort, after that, Zhang Yan also sent someone to send three two-stone hard bows, Wu Ning was naturally happy, and picked Zhang Zhemu bow among them.

After receiving the grain, Zhang Yan led the army to withdraw as promised, and finally kept his promise, Deng Ji breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and finally removed the big stone that was pressed on his chest by the grain theft incident the year before last, and there was already thunder of joy in the valley.

The losses in this battle were huge, and there were really a lot of crying people in the valley, but after that, the name of fake Lei Gong, Pimple, and Deng Ji quickly spread throughout Taihang, and began to spread to the surrounding areas, Zhang Yan was right, this battle made Deng Pimple Young famous, and it didn't take long for people with a heart to know that there was a thief named Deng Ji or Pimple in Taihang, and the fake Lei Gong who stole food in front of these big people in Bingzhou Assassin History, Shangdang Taishou, and Ping Nan Zhonglang was him.

It's just that there are too many major events and characters that have emerged in the five years of Zhongping, and after his reputation spread, he quickly became a very ordinary category, only appearing in many jokes, and no longer attracting attention.

After last year's drought, chaos has resumed.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the turmoil storm started from the state, in addition to last year's Xiongnu rebellion still did not stop, at the beginning of February, the Yellow Turban remnant Guo Tai in Xihe County Baibo Valley uprising, known as the white wave thief, raiding the county, and the state disaster victims flocked from, in just one month, the team has grown to more than 100,000 people, becoming another big thief second only to Montenegro.

In March, the Xiongnu rebellion became more and more intense, and Zhang Yi was defeated and died!

When the news reached Taihang, not to mention that Deng Ji was shocked and inexplicable, even Zhang Yan, the head of the Black Mountain thief, was shocked, this old rival of this family died like this?

The Black Mountain Thieves and Zhang Yi have fought several times, unless they have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, they will suffer a lot, Zhang Yan knows the combat power of the officers and soldiers of the state very well, and the Hun cavalry is so strong that it is?

And the state is close, these news will come faster, not long after, Xiliang anti-thief this year's move also came, Ma Teng and Han Sui set up a person called the kingdom as the main general, attack the right Fufeng Chencang County, if it succeeds, a few days can go to Chang'an City!

It was the time when the Yizhou thief and horse Xiang also called themselves "Yellow Turbans", gathered thousands of tired people, first killed Mianzhu Ling, attacked Yu County, killed Yizhou Assassin Shi Xi Jian, and then attacked Shu County, Qianwei, and the leisure of the tenth month, and destroyed the three counties. Ma Xiang called himself the "Son of Heaven", gathered more than 100,000 people, sent troops to break Ba County, and killed the county to guard Zhao.

In April, the Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County re-emerged and conquered the county, soon claiming to have 300,000 thieves.

In just one spring, the world's thieves are rising again!

Perhaps stimulated by so many anti-thieves, the Son of Heaven in Luoyang City finally began to do something to deal with it.

When the news of the death of the assassin in March was transmitted back to Beijing, the Son of Heaven asked Liu Yanzhi to set up a state pastor on top of the assassin history to command the military and political power of a state, so as to control the local area and suppress the thieves.

This news in the court is nothing worth paying attention to Deng Ji, but in history, it is precisely because of this incident that the emperor delegated power, so that the state pastor can become a warlord who supports the army and respects himself, and only then began to attack each other and compete for the history of the Central Plains, the Son of Heaven is gradually lightening in the eyes of the warlords, and it is best to be as straight as nothing, which is the real prelude to the beginning of the Three Kingdoms era.

Of course, for the Son of Heaven at this time, he is still very cautious, non-clansmen, important ministers will not be awarded the position of state pastor, the first three state pastors, one is Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, one is Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, the other is the Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, two are the Han clan, Huang Wan is the descendant of the famous minister, the contemporary important minister, should be able to use it with confidence.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was sent to the north to guard against Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, although these two people had fled north, but when they were last year, they had sent a letter to various states and counties, and they dared to say that they wanted to replace the Han Dynasty, and also made 50,000 troops such as the king of Wuhuan Qiao enter Qingdao and Hebei to break through the two counties of Qinghe and Pingyuan. In addition to Liu Yu, he also sent Zhonglang to lead Meng Yi to ride Duwei Gongsun Zan to beg.

In addition to Youzhou in the north, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan suppressed Ma Xiang, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan against Gepi Yellow Turban, in addition to these, for the Xiliang thief army that threatened Sanfu, the Son of Heaven reactivated the Han Liangzhu Huangfu Song, who had been snubbed for a long time, and restored his position as a left chariot rider, and at the same time promoted Dong Zhuo to a former general, so that the two of them could suppress Xiliang Kou together.

After Zhang Yan retired from the army, although the Black Mountain Banner was still there, there was inevitably a rift between Deng Jibu and Yu Poison and Liu Shi, and Deng Ji had already noticed that his family had been snubbed by the big thieves, and it was impossible to get information from them, but fortunately, there were still many small bandits around, and they did not dare to offend Deng Ji, a rookie among the thieves, and Deng Ji could also learn about the rumors in the world from them.

Of course, there are also benefits to fame, and some small bandits around who lack food and are unwilling to take refuge in the government have come to vote one after another, and by the end of spring, Deng Ji has gathered more than 2,000 strong, old, weak and strong.

There are ups and downs in various places, but in fact, it has little to do with Deng Ji, a small thief in Taihang, because at this time, the busiest spring sowing has started again.

Now the population of the valley is nearly 15,000, and it is difficult to settle in the valley, so they have to build houses in the open space outside, and all kinds of things have increased, such as building houses, grazing livestock, sowing land, hunting in the mountains, fishing in the river, and making equipment, all of which have to be arranged in place, and Deng Ji is only busy with his feet on the ground. After the 700,000 stone grain matter is resolved, agricultural work is indispensable to feed these old and weak people, and spring sowing is always the most important.

Last year's great drought, except for the winter wheat had to be harvested, the grain sown in the spring was all unyielding, and this year the able-bodied and the old and weak came out together, and Deng Ji asked them to reclaim every cent of the land that could be used, which is expected to be more than 80,000 mu.

After the severe drought, the yield of winter wheat harvested in the summer of last year was not much lower than that of previous years, and the yield of wheat per mu reached more than one stone, which made people have inexplicable trust in the manure that Deng Ji said, and he no longer had to force the manure.

There are many troubled times, but the country is busy sowing seeds, like a paradise, but this tranquility is only temporary.
