Chapter 52: Bandits are rampant
"Yo roar roar · · · ", the sound of the unknotted shouts sounded again, the figure in the depths of the dense forest swayed, a fluttering yellow flag was raised high, and a strong man in front of him rode a bad horse to rush out, and the incomplete broadsword pointed directly at the horse team, shouting: "Robber——! ”
"I don't even have a decent line! What a lack of quality! Someone shook his head and sighed, and then shouted evilly: "I opened this mountain!" I planted this tree! If you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money! I don't have a word for half a tooth, just kill it and bury it! ”
The bandits of hundreds of people are all covered with yellow cloths, doing dirty things under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, they are not the real Yellow Turban Army, they do not have the faith of the Yellow Turban Army... These people are just pure bandits;
Hearing this, the leader was stunned, damn, why did you meet your peers? Take a closer look at this horse team with a scale of five or six hundred people, all of them are high-quality war horses, and there are a few carriages and many boxes in the middle, which seem to be worth a lot of money... Definitely not peers;
Under normal circumstances, this kind of equipment is a caravan, and the caravan guards seem to be strong, in fact, they will not be too desperate, as long as they are more fierce, they will turn around and run, but... The bandit leader did not see the slightest fear in the eyes of these people, but some helplessness and... Despise?
"Hey! Passing through Yanzhou from Luoyang, there were no less than a dozen waves of bandits of all sizes, and they were all under the banner of Zhang Jiao, which is a sigh! The ideas advocated by Zhang Jiao were so ruined...", the rampant bandits made people helpless, and Yuan Shu and his party, who rushed from Luoyang to Nanyang County to take office, were quite disturbed by it;
"What to do? Directly extinguished? Yuan Shu rode a tall horse and walked slowly over to inquire, his originally good mood was disturbed by these annoying bandits without a trace, and the rest was only annoyed and depressed;
"Extinguished? Of course not! Now that it is the territory of Nanyang County, we can get grain and grass to feed them, instead of letting them endanger the surrounding people, it is better to collect it for our own use and strengthen our strength! Hehe, that's not a bad note, right? Li Kai said with a smile;
Yuan Shu frowned: "But they are bandits..."
"It's a bandit, it's a thief army, isn't it? Who is born to be a bad person, but they have no way out! I know you're worried that they won't change their ways, but it doesn't matter, they won't make trouble if they have food, how many places in the world are there bandits after the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Rebels?
It is precisely because no one dares to co-opt them that they break the jar and kill the bandits, the promising king of the mountain... Ahem, anyway, it is beneficial for the people to surrender them, so that your name of benevolence and righteousness will be widely spread, in addition, I have a hunch that it will not be smooth sailing in Nanyang County, we need strength! ”
Li Kai said that the premonition that it was not smooth sailing to take office in Nanyang County, this is based on evidence, first of all, the problem of the current Nanyang Taishou, this is an official bought by a local wealthy family, and the eunuchs have not yet told them that this official position has been replaced by Yuan Shu, this is a matter!
Not to mention the conversation between Yuan Shu and Li, the bandit leader over there hesitated again and again and decided to attack this horse team, if nothing else, they have run out of food, how can they do without food? People die for money, birds die for food...
Especially the unscrupulous conversation between Li Kai and Yuan Shu in the horse team, it was simply contempt for him, Lao Tzu is a bandit! Bandits, bullies! How is it that the robbed person has no consciousness at all? The bandit leader decided to justify his name, so he beckoned his younger brother to "work"
"Everything of value is left for Lao Tzu! Whoever dares to say a word will hack him to death! The bandit leader came on his horse viciously, and a little brother behind him ran to this side in a noisy, pretending to shout, which looked very vicious;
"Listen to you!" , Yuan Shu turned the horse's head brush and pulled out the sword, and shouted: "Ji Ling! Surround them, capture them alive! ”
"Order!" , Ji Ling arched his hand, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife and urging the war horse to gallop forward, and the guards behind him followed, the speed of the war horse was fast, how could it be comparable to the bandits? Ji Ling simply gave the order to encircle, and slashed the bandit leader to death with a knife, and these bandits did not dare to move, and surrendered on their knees one after another, which was extremely easy;
"Why the Great Tribulation? Why be a bandit? I remember that Nanyang County should be pretty good! It's not going to force you to be bandits, is it? Li Kai stepped out of the carriage in a valuable fox fur and asked gently;
Because he was infected with wind and cold last time, Yuan Shu felt that his physique was not very good, so he gave such a more intimate gift, it is said that this loser spent more than 100,000 yuan to get it from others, and entered the late autumn and cold winter season, this gift is very good for Li Kai;
Most of the robbers were dressed in single clothes, and occasionally a few in armor were also in tatters, and they could see the black flesh under the clothes that had not been bathed for a long time, and they looked trembling and desolate because they were afraid of kneeling on the ground;
"Returning to the official's words...", a bolder person replied tremblingly: "It's not that I have to do such pickled and obscene things, it's really... I have no choice! Previously, Zhang Mancheng poisoned the township, and later... Nanyang County now has a population of nearly 3 million people... We can't eat, either, so..."
Speaking of sadness, the man sobbed a few times and looked very sad, who wants to be a bandit? Who doesn't want to be an upright person? But the world does not allow him to do this, they can be oppressed, they can endure hunger, but their wives and children cannot...
"Knock knock knock...", the sound of war drums suddenly sounded among the trees, the figures swayed, it seemed that a large army was coming, and the surrounding troops immediately became vigilant, and their hands were already holding bows and arrows, aiming at the past;
"Our reinforcements are coming! We just want to get some money, we don't want to hurt people... You'd better go, right? The man who was still crying just now became very tough, wiped away his tears, his eyes were fierce, and his words were threatening;
"Bow and arrow ready! Damn! These chaotic people are really pitiful! It is really against the sky to dare to openly attack the officials of the imperial court! From the forest, the flag was waving, the dust was flying, the voice was noisy, and it seemed that there were a lot of people, Yuan Shu became very nervous, scolding;
"Archers! Get ready! Yuan Shu held the sword in his hand and ordered: "Ji Ling! Take someone to protect Xiaoxian! Hold the convoy!··· It's really interesting, Lao Tzu, a Nanyang County Taishou, was openly attacked on his own territory! It's ridiculous! ”
"Mr. Li! Please leave here and wait for a certain family to kill them first, so as not to be hurt by this gang of thieves! Ji Ling rode over, revealing a bloodthirsty expression, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand was also tightly held...
"Chao'er! What do you think? Are you going to kill them? Li Kai said such a sentence to Ma Chao with a smile, it was very abrupt, Ma Chao didn't react, and he didn't know how to deal with it...
