When the soldier saw Liu Ziqiu, he suddenly cried and shouted, "Brother Niu! ”

Only the villagers who lived in Changshan Village at the earliest, would call Liu Ziqiu a big cow, and others didn't know this story at all. Update fastest 78xs// Liu Ziqiu was shocked when he heard this, and after a closer look, he recognized that this soldier was really from Changshan Village, surnamed Xiao, and his nickname was Guang'er.

Liu Ziqiu knew very well that in the entire Xihai County, except for himself, there was no second person from Changshan Village. Xiao Guang'er is here at this moment, it is really incredible, could it be that something has happened in Changshan Village? Liu Ziqiu's mood couldn't help but become irritable. But Liu Ziqiu was very able to control his emotions, tried to settle down, and asked, "Brother Guang'er, where are you hurt?" ”

In Changshan Village, Liu Ziqiu once organized a group of teenagers to train, Xiao Dapeng, Bolt and later the Thirteen Taibao were all members of them, and Xiao Guanger was also one of those teenagers. It's just that Xiao Guang'er is not talented enough and failed to enter the top 13 Taibao. On the other hand, Xiao Guang'er has never really been on the battlefield, although she learned some martial arts from Liu Ziqiu, she will inevitably be a little panicked after seeing the blood light. These days, it's like he's living in a nightmare. Now that I have seen Liu Ziqiu and finally met my relatives, my emotions were instantly released, and I couldn't stop crying.

Liu Ziqiu's kind words comforted him for a long time, and Xiao Guang'er stopped crying and choked up: "Brother Da Niu, I only suffered some skin injuries. If it weren't for General Han Lao who helped me block two swords, I wouldn't have died. ”

"Old General Han? Liu Ziqiu frowned, there was no one surnamed Han among the four hundred people sent out in his impression, and although there were one or two families with the surname Han in Changshan Village, no one could be called a general.

Xiao Guang'er pointed to a soldier lying in the innermost part and said, "That is the old general Han Zhonghan, who followed Han Shige to Changshan Village. ”

Liu Ziqiu knew that this old general Han should be the general of the Han Mansion, he looked in the direction of Xiao Guang'er's finger, and saw that the man had gray hair, his face was like gold paper, and he was already dying. Liu Ziqiu knew Han Shige, but he didn't expect him to go to Changshan Village, which shows that the situation in Luoyang is already very sinister. Liu Ziqiu couldn't hold back any longer, helped Han Zhong up and asked, "Old General Han, why are you here?" ”

Han Zhong opened his eyes with great difficulty, and said in a low voice: "Han was entrusted by someone to find out the whereabouts of Liu Gongzi......"

Seeing that Han Zhong was having trouble speaking, Xiao Guanger took the initiative to talk about what happened.

It turned out that in order to find out Liu Ziqiu's whereabouts, Han Zhong was entrusted by Gao Xiu'er to take Xiao Guang'er and more than a dozen other people to Luoyang pretending to be merchants. From Changshan Village to Luoyang, because of the cover of Changshan Carriage and Horsemanship, there was no danger. At this time, under the governance of Li Yuan, the situation in Luoyang City gradually stabilized. But all the way west from Luoyang City, thieves are rampant, and local governments are also forcibly seized. They were all martial arts practitioners, and the few goods they had were just to hide from others, so they chose remote paths to walk, but they didn't have much impact. Only when passing through Chang'an customs clearance, he met the strict examination of the sergeant guarding the pass, but there was money to make the ghost grind, and after spending some silver and two dozen points of dredging, he finally arrived in Fufeng County, but there was no danger.

Since Li Yuan pinned down most of Yang Xuangan's forces in the east, Yu Wenhua took the opportunity to attack and recaptured Fufeng County. Fufeng is the gateway to the west of Chang'an, but after Yang Xuangan shrank his forces, Yu Wenhua was difficult to go further, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

In order to avoid encountering the fish in the pond, Han Zhong and his entourage specially went around in a big circle, and then came to Longxi County. At the foot of Bird and Mouse Mountain, he bumped into Zhang Aniu and others who were fighting with the official army. At that time, Zhang Aniu and others were dressed as businessmen, and the accompanying goods were scattered all over the place, and Han Zhong and they were also dressed as businessmen, but they became the target of the official army by mistake, and they had to get involved.

Although Han Zhong and the others were outstanding in martial arts, Zhang Aniu and them were also selected by Liu Ziqiu, but they were outnumbered after all, and in the end, only eighteen people escaped with their lives.

Hearing Xiao Guang'er talk about this, Han Zhong suddenly grabbed Liu Ziqiu's hand, his voice was so weak that he could barely hear it, and said intermittently: "Vanilla found a large treasure in the Yang family manor outside Yanguan City...... The Xie family cut off aid to Changshan Village...... Shimo and Miss Susu will ask Liu Gongzi from now on......"

That is to say, Liu Ziqiu's ears are very good, and he knows lip language, if he is another person, he can't hear what Han Zhong said at all. Although these words are incomplete and very messy, they are enough for Liu Ziqiu to understand the situation in Jiangnan. The last sentence is not only to explain why Han Shige went to Jiangnan, but also seems to be Han Zhong's last words. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but feel in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "Old General Han, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, the prince of Shifu and Liu are like brothers, and they will never lose each other!" ”

Listening to Liu Ziqiu's promise, a smile appeared on Han Zhong's face, and he fell on his back, but he was already out of breath.

Liu Ziqiu sighed softly, clenched his fists, turned his head and asked, "Zhang Aniu, you tell me!" Why did you walk for a few months to get to Longxi! Why did there clash with the official army! ”

Although Zhang Aniu was slashed on the arm, and the bones were visible, it was still relatively light among those injured soldiers. He gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the lord, my subordinates and others went all the way to Chang'an, and it happened that the war in the east broke out again, and the road was blocked, so they couldn't move forward. Later, I heard that Yang Xuangan had lost Fufeng, and Yiyi's troops recaptured it, and he was searching for horses in all directions. I was afraid of losing my war horse and left Chang'an in a hurry. Since we couldn't go east, we discussed going back to Weiding City first and reporting the situation to the lord. Unexpectedly, when we stayed in Longxi County, we were targeted, and those people chased us until Bird and Mouse Mountain intercepted us, and without saying a word, they started to kill people. ”

"Yang Xuangan wants a war horse, give it to him, we don't lack horses." In Liu Ziqiu's opinion, it is very uneconomical to take 400 lives for 400 war horses. But he also knew that in the hearts of these soldiers, war horses were like their relatives, and it was understandable that they would make such a move to protect their horses, after all, they were not real merchants.

Liu Ziqiu did not continue to blame Zhang Aniu, but asked, "Who did it?" ”

Zhang Aniu said hatefully: "It was Yuwen Zhiji who did it!" ”

"Yuwen Zhiji?" Liu Ziqiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that he found out where you came from?" ”

Liu Ziqiu killed Yu Wenjing and captured Weiding City, strictly speaking, there are still some contradictions between Yu Wenhua and Yu. If Yuwen Zhihe knew that this caravan was Liu Ziqiu's person pretending, it was very likely that the killer would be killed.

Zhang Aniu shook his head and said, "No." Yuwen Zhihe should be for the sake of property. After we fled to Lintao, we inquired, and there were many caravans like us that were plundered. It's just that Yuwen Zhi and this kid not only want money, but also kill people and kill people, which is really more ruthless and black than robbers! My lord, you must avenge the death of your brothers! ”

Liu Ziqiu finally understood that he underestimated the greed of Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi and the brothers. If these two people are not eliminated, once these fifteen caravans returning from the west enter their sphere of influence, I am afraid that they will inevitably be intercepted and killed, even if they have the backing of the family clan, it will not help. Liu Ziqiu's plan to improve the lives of the people and obtain information about the Central Plains through the development of commerce will also fail.

A difficult problem is placed in front of Liu Ziqiu, whether to continue to close the country, or to declare war on Yu Culture and Yu, he must make a decision.

……

Liu Ziqiu returned to the hall casually and took the initiative to start a wine war. Except for Zhao Ling and He Chou, they are all rough soldiers, drinking alcohol is like drinking water, Wang Xingming and Xie Laosi are their opponents, and they are all drunk after two or three rounds.

Zhao Ling was the most clever, and understood that Liu Ziqiu had something in his heart, so he didn't drink much, and waited until the soldiers helped those merchants back to the post house, and then asked, "Lord, is something wrong?" ”

Liu Ziqiu raised his glass and said loudly: "Let's have one last drink, Liu has something to say!" ”

Everyone finished the wine in the cup, but He Chou was also drunk. Liu Ziqiu shook his head helplessly and told what Zhang Aniu and Xiao Guang'er said.

Wen Hao was furious, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to shoot the case, and said sharply: "Yu Wenhua and what kind of thing dare to kill my brother, this revenge will not be avenged, and he will not be a man!" ”

Zhang Liang, Shi Danai and others were also indignant and shouted. These people were originally loyal to the Great Sui, but after joining the Xihai clan, under the influence of Liu Ziqiu, they heard about it and didn't take this stormy court very seriously.

Liu Yusheng was cautious, and muttered: "Doesn't the lord want to use troops against Yu Wenhua? With our current strength, there is no danger of attacking, but I am afraid that we will not be able to do it. ”

"Fart!" Although Tumulu has learned a lot of Chinese, he does not have a deep understanding of the meaning of many words, he only objected to Liu Yu's opinion, where did he think that this was a scolding sentence, and he still had a heartbeat, "Now is the autumn is high and the horse is fat, and it is the time to use soldiers." As long as the lord gives an order, his subordinates are willing to be pioneers! ”

Liu Yu knew that he was an unintentional mistake, and he didn't care about him, waved his hand, and said: "This time to go to the Central Plains, you need to attack the city, although the cavalry is brave, but there are also shortcomings, doesn't the general remember the battle of Weiding City?" Many of the cities in the Central Plains were much taller and stronger than Weiding City. ”

Jiao Liyan shouted loudly: "What about being tall and strong, I don't believe that I can't attack it!" ”

Zhao Ling, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Lord, how is the situation in the Central Plains?" ”

Liu Ziqiu groaned: "Yu Wenhua, Yang Xuangan, and Li Yuan are the top three. Everywhere else, thieves are rampant. ”

Zhao Ling stroked his palm and said: "Since this is the case, my subordinates think that they can fight!" ”

In fact, Liu Ziqiu is also inclined to declare war on Yu Culture and in his heart, otherwise Xihai County will be trapped in a corner after all. He still trusted Zhao Ling's vision, and couldn't help but say, "I want to hear about it." ”
