Chapter 397: Catch a Big Fish
Outside the city of Xiangyang, in a dense forest.
He Laosan sat on the ground, munching on a roasted rabbit.
In the bushes beside him, more than 20 men sat on the ground, intently wiping the saber in their hands.
"Fuck it, it's not a human life."
He Laosan couldn't help but scold after nibbling on the roast rabbit.
I can't go into the city, I sleep in the wilderness every day, and no one can stand it for a long time.
A one-eyed man next to him heard this: "Boss, be content, we have only been out for half a year, and it is better to suffer a little in the field than to go to the battlefield with your head on your head." Anyway, they have already withdrawn, as long as they can do it this time, they will stop it. Liu Bei's head is worth a lot of military merits, even if the brothers divide it equally, he can be a lord. â
He Laosan scolded: "Don't fucking dream, Xiangyang City is so easy to enter!" â
Another man next to him said: "Even if you can get into Xiangyang, it's impossible to want Liu Bei's head!" â
When he said this, the people were silent.
According to Xiliang military regulations, in addition to serious injuries and disabilities, veterans who have been in the military for more than ten years and are over forty years old can apply for retirement, He San is forty-two years old this year, and he has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he has long been tired of fighting on the battlefield, and applied for retirement the year before last.
But after retiring, I felt a little unwilling.
After being a soldier for more than ten years, those who can survive naturally have a lot of military achievements.
He Sanjia has thousands of acres of land, and he can be regarded as a local tyrant, but he is used to the days of adding blood to the knife, and he is a little idle after enjoying half a year of wealth, and he just eats and waits for death, so he feels a little unwilling.
After thinking about it, he called more than 20 retired old brothers to come out and do a few more votes.
There is a hunting list within the Xiliang Army, and as long as you bring people or heads back, you can earn a lot of military merits.
This military merit can be obtained regardless of status and nobility, and no matter who completes the task.
There are many veterans in the Xiliang Army like He San who still run out to do business after retiring, although many veterans die in a foreign land after failing the mission every year, but under the temptation of huge military achievements, there are still many people who are willing to take risks with their heads.
He San has been out with his old brother for almost half a year, and he doesn't dare to enter the town, so he hides in the wild every day, always looking for opportunities.
But the opportunity is so easy to find, none of the people on the Xiliang Army's hunting list are easy to kill.
After waiting in Xiangyang for half a year, everyone's patience is running out.
As the sun was about to set, footsteps sounded outside the woods.
The veterans were vigilant and immediately fell into the grass, holding their breath.
Soon, a sturdy man rushed over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and sat up.
"Old horse, how's it going?"
He Laosan didn't get up, and asked deeply.
The old horse rushed to the front and sat on the ground, and said, "Sensei, damn it, Xiangyang is too strict, it's difficult to get in, and with just a little bit of us, we can't get close to Liu Bei at all." However, I found out about another person. â
"Who?"
He Laosan asked.
Lao Ma said excitedly: "Zhuge Liang! â
"Zhuge Liang?"
He Laosan's eyes immediately lit up, "Really? â
Lao Ma nodded and said: "Of course it's true, Lao Tzu was wandering around outside Xiangyang City, I thought there was no chance, but who would have thought that I saw Xu Shu, the strategist under Liu Bei, out of Xiangyang, so I followed all the way, until I followed to the foot of a mountain ten miles away, and then I inquired with people nearby, and I learned that the one named Zhuge Liang on the hunting list lived there!" â
"Damn, that's great!"
He Laosan couldn't help but hit the knot fiercely, and said: "Zhuge Liang, that guy's head is worth more than Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong's heads, and they are about to catch up with Liu Bei." Damn, if this vote is done, there will be hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land alone, and even if more than 20 brothers divide it equally, each person will be able to get at least 10,000 acres, and he will be able to become a big landlord. â
The one-eyed veteran next to him drooled and said: "Last time, Zhao Da was lucky to catch Zhou Yu, and now they are all big landowners with tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are also herds of cattle and sheep and large grasslands on the grassland, and the girls take dozens of them, and they are grooms every night, and there are dozens or hundreds of slaves. I heard that the lord is called the queen, and he is discussing the title of the meritorious soldiers, and the guy named Zhuge Liang is about the same as Zhou Yu's military merits, if he goes back to Chang'an, the brothers will not be worse than Zhao Da's dog. â
"It's done!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and their blood began to boil.
He Laosan asked: "Have you inquired clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to start!" â
Lao Ma said: "I inquired clearly, that Xu Shu brought a lot of personal soldiers, and it was not easy to start." But we can wait until Xu Shu leaves. Zhuge Liang is a village man, and there are only a few small houses at home, so there is no difficulty. â
He Laosan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then wait until the evening to do it." â
The one-eyed veteran said: "This place is not far from Nanyang, as long as you succeed in Shun LĂŹ, even if you take the wild road, you can run to Wancheng in five days at most." As long as the people are handed over to General Zhao Yun, the brothers will be safe. â
Lao Ma said: "Yes, when General Zhao Yun escorts that Zhuge Liang back to Chang'an, we will follow him together." â
He Laosan said: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and raise your body, and do it at night." â
The veterans were very disciplined, and when they heard this, they immediately hid in the grass and began to recover.
The sky soon darkened, He Laosan greeted, the old horse led the way, and a group of more than 20 people immediately went to the foot of the mountain more than ten miles away in the dark. These veterans have been sleeping in the wilderness for half a year, and they have long been accustomed to walking at night.
It's not difficult to travel at night.
Longzhong, Lusheng.
The lights flickered, Zhuge Liang had not rested, and was reading by the candlelight.
There was a slight noise outside, and although it was inaudible, it could still be heard on a quiet night.
Zhuge Liang frowned, put down the bamboo scroll, and prepared to go out to have a look.
At this moment, the wooden door of the reed sheng was suddenly directly knocked away by a strong force, and several vicious men rushed in.
"You are ......"
Zhuge Liang was stunned, and some couldn't come back to his senses.
Xiangyang is the center of Jingzhou, and there is no Tuxiang where bandits live nearby, and since he lived in seclusion in Longzhong, he has always been kind to others, and he has never offended people at all, how can there be strong people to loot in the middle of the night.
"You are Zhuge Liang?"
He Laosan rushed forward, grabbed Zhuge Liang, and asked viciously.
Zhuge Liang's heart suddenly swooped, and he secretly shouted that it was not good, this bandit actually knew his name, and it was obviously aimed at him.
In a flash of thought, he hurriedly replied: "It's not Zhuge Liang below. â
"Isn't it?"
He Laosan was a little puzzled, could it be that he caught the wrong person? R1152
