The road to Woniu Mountain is a winding path, and the intersection at the foot of the mountain is blocked by a dense shrub, and people who are not familiar with the path will not be able to discover its existence even if they pass through the intersection.

Woniu Mountain Cottage is located on the top of the highest peak, it does not occupy a wide area, but the terrain is the most favorable among the mountains. When he arrived at the entrance of the cottage, Liu Wei understood why Yan Zheng led far more soldiers and horses than Pei Yuanshao, but he was never able to conquer them.

In front of the entrance of the cottage, there is a narrow passage, on both sides of the passage are straight cliffs, even if it is a million army, when it arrives here, it can only be two or three people side by side, as long as the defense is laid at the entrance, even if there are only one or two hundred people, the attacking army is difficult to overcome.

When Zhou Cang left Woniu Mountain, Pei Yuanshao led everyone to occupy the mountain as the king, while collecting the homeless homeless people, after three years of expansion, the number of minions in the cottage has increased from more than 100 people to more than 300 people.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei stood on the edge of the cliff inside the cottage, overlooking the relatively low mountains. The fierce wind swept past him, ruffled the ends of his sideburns, and blew the breath from heaven and earth in his ears.

Not far behind Liu Wei, there were two heavily armed men standing on the left and right. Both men were holding the hilt of the long sword at their waist with one hand and the other hand on their waists, their eyes constantly roaming around.

Although Liu Wei is currently in a cottage, the two men who are responsible for protecting him still dare not slack off.

"Stop!" Liu Wei was overlooking the relatively low mountains, and the two men not far behind him let out a low shout, and then he heard a "choking" sound of drawing swords in unison.

He didn't look back, and although he didn't think anyone in the cottage would be against him, he didn't stop the two men who were responsible for protecting him from drawing their swords.

"Your Highness's side is really very well guarded!" A sweet and somewhat hearty female voice came into Liu Wei's ears, and he heard that the person who spoke was Guan Qing, who came to the cottage with them.

"Please come here!" With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei's gaze remained in the mountains, and he lightly commanded the two men who were blocking Guan Qing.

The two men put away their long swords, withdrew and stood aside, and watched Guan Qing walk towards Liu Wei on the edge of the cliff.

"The little girl is here to bid farewell to His Highness!" Walking behind Liu Wei, Guan Qing clasped his fists with both hands, arched at him and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's favor, I have solved a crisis for the little girl, if we can meet again in the future, we will definitely repay you!" ”

"Don't mind the girl!" Liu Wei turned around, facing Guan Qing, and said to her with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Guan came to Woniu Mountain, originally to recruit Yuanfu and Pei Yuanshao to join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, but was taken advantage of by this king, the girl did not blame this king It was an unexpected joy, and she helped the girl a little favor, how dare you bother the girl to remember!" ”

Guan Qing lowered his eyes, clenched his fists with both hands, arched towards Liu Wei, and said, "Now that I have said goodbye to His Royal Highness, Guan Qing said goodbye!" ”

After saying goodbye, Guan Qing turned around and walked towards the cottage. Looking at her back as she left with her head held high, Liu Wei said to the man not far away: "Tell me to go down and prepare a horse for the girl!" ”

"No!" A man responded with a fist clenched, and followed Guan Qing towards the cottage.

Looking at Guan Qing's departing back, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that was difficult for others to detect.

The morning sun leaped into the sky under the support of the mountains, and between the rolling mountains, it cast a soft golden light, and another morning descended on the world.

Guan Qing has been gone for two days, and the injured patients and the families of the men who brought them up the mountain have also been properly settled.

A big flag with white characters on a black background flutters in the wind in the cottage of Woniu Mountain, the mountain wind agitates the big flag, and the rectangular flag embroidered with the word "Han" hunts and flies, making a burst of "hulala" sound.

Liu Wei, who was fully armed, stood under the banner, and in front of him were more than 100 sturdy men dressed in the armor of officers and soldiers, each equipped with a round shield and a long sword.

"Brothers!" Looking around at the men standing in front of him in a circle, Liu Wei shouted to them: "Many of you have fought with me in a bloody battle with the officers and soldiers in Bishan!" There are also many people who have fought for their lives in the Yellow Turban Army! Similarly, there are some people who were forced by the officials and the army to come to the mountains! ”

When Liu Wei shouted, more than a hundred heavily armed men all cast their eyes on his face, and everyone was quietly listening to every word he said.

"We're going to go again!" Liu Wei drew his long sword, raised it high above his head, and shouted to the men: "Since I left Luoyang, I, Liu Bian, have been avoiding Dong Zhuo's pursuit all the way!" These days, although we have achieved some small victories, we are still like lost dogs, and they are chasing us without even a place to stay for a long time! ”

The men who came out of the mountain clenched their fists one by one, their facial muscles twitched slightly, and their eyes stared at Liu Bian's expressionless but resolute face without blinking.

"Being in the Han royal family, as the King of Hongnong of the Han Dynasty, I hate Dong Zhuo very much, and I hate the officers and soldiers under his command who slaughtered our siblings!" The corners of Liu Wei's eyes twitched slightly, and he continued to shout to the men: "Why did you pick up weapons to resist the imperial court back then? Are you really rebellious? ”

When Liu Wei said this, including Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others, they all looked at him without blinking, wondering what he thought of these men from the Yellow Turban or the homeless people in the cottage.

"Nope! I tell you, you are not rebellious! Liu Wei's next words made everyone's eyes light up, and they cast their eyes on his face.

"It's a mediocre court! It was the traitors and eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty who invaded your homeland, took away your rations, killed your father and brother, and bullied your wives and daughters! You have to do the opposite! As a traverser, he did not have a sense of belonging to the Han court, but in the days of escape, he saw too much of the suffering of the people, and was full of sympathy for the people who were bullied.

In a small room not far from the banner, Tang Ji was standing at the window, silently looking at Liu Wei who was standing under the banner and shouting to the men.

Every word Liu Wei said clearly reached her ears. If in the past, she did not follow Liu Wei to flee Luoyang, and when she heard these remarks, she would definitely think that Liu Wei was rebelling against her own family, and she was a great rebel and betrayed the ancestors of the Han family.

But now, she didn't have that kind of thought, but was moved by Liu Wei's impassioned shouting. As a member of the royal family, Liu Wei can personally shout the mediocre words of the court to the men, which is by no means the bearing and strength that ordinary people have.

Looking at Liu Wei, who was still speaking impassionedly, Tang Ji's eyes became more and more confused. In her eyes, Liu Wei's image has become perfect, and he is no longer just a mortal, but a shrine. He is her patron saint and the patron saint of the poor people of the whole world!

"Brothers! Both the imperial court and Dong Zhuo made a mistake! Holding the long sword, the tip of the sword pointed obliquely to the ground, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to the more than a hundred men in front of him in an almost low tone: "They rely too much on the officers and soldiers, and they despise our strength too much!" The reason why the Yellow Turban Army failed back then was not only because they did not have good equipment and training, but more importantly, because they had no cohesion and did not know what to fight for! ”

"We will fight for His Highness, and fight to recapture the country that His Highness was robbed by Dong Zhuo's old thief!" Pei Yuanshao pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and when Liu Wei said that the Yellow Turban Army didn't know why they were fighting, he answered.

"No!" Liu Wei shook his head, and said in an unusually resolute tone: "You fight for freedom, fight for no longer being bullied, and fight for being able to live well like a person!" ”

"The brothers who came out of Bishan all knew that they were able to defeat the officers and soldiers who were far more numerous than us, not because we were stronger than them, but because each of us had a common belief at that time! We're going to live! The hand that did not hold the sword clenched his fist in front of him, and Liu Wei shouted to the men in front of him: "We must protect the back of our brother in battle, and we can also give our back to my brother with confidence!" Only when we are full of trust in each other can we be invincible and invincible, and let those who once underestimated us eat! ”

"Haha As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, the men all let out a burst of arrogant laughter, and a few of them even raised the weapons in their hands and shouted in agreement: "Let those officers and soldiers who have chased us go home and lick shit on his wife's ass!" ”

Looking at the arrogant and smiling men, Liu Bianzhi said that his mobilization had an effect. He turned his head and said to Pei Yuanshao on the side: "General Pei, you don't have to follow this time when you go to Tiger Prison Pass, you have to guard the cottage and ensure that the banner stands tall!" That's a great achievement! ”

couldn't go to Tiger Prison Pass with him, Pei Yuanshao was somewhat disappointed in his heart. But when he heard Liu Wei say that as long as he guarded the cottage and ensured that the banner did not fall, he had made a great achievement, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and responded: "No!" ”

"Brothers, each prepare, in half an hour, I will go down the mountain!" Waving his hand at the men in front of him, Liu Wei gave the order to disband, turned around and walked towards his and Tang Ji's room.

There are more than 100 men, and there are only a dozen of them in the cottage. After the disbandment, the more than a dozen men ran to their residences to say goodbye to their families. Others inspected the equipment, rations, and drinking water they needed to carry on the expedition.
