Volume VII Getaway Chapter 7 The Prosperous Age (Part I)
The mountain wind howled, and the shouts resounded throughout the four fields. The Turkic wolf riders who entered the valley couldn't guess how many people were ambushed inside and outside the Great Wall, and they were all shocked. Gu Tuolu knew that he would definitely not be able to get anything good today, so he stiffened his head and said bitterly: "If there is someone and no one, then you have to see you under your hands." You can't win a battle with your mouth alone. We Turkic have a saying, it is a wolf or a dog, and it is only when you show your teeth that you can count! β
"Khan comes to fight. I'm afraid that if I lose again this time, it won't be as easy to go back as last time! Li Xu held a long lance in his hand and responded nonchalantly.
"Come and fight!" Liu Jizhen tore his throat and boiled down Li Xu's entire sentence to four words.
"Come and fight!" The horse thieves laughed wildly.
Their attitude of having no one in their eyes is really infuriating. But Gu Tuolu understood that the wolf rider under his command had lost his sharpness today, shook his head, and said with a sneer: "You and I are old friends. I'm here today just to give you a way out. Since you don't understand my painstaking efforts. Tomorrow the war starts, don't blame me for being ruthless! β
After that, he didn't give Li Xu a chance to take advantage of his tongue, turned around and shouted a few times at his team. The thousands of wolves that had already rushed into the valley quickly dodged a passage, and silently Bone Toru and his guards sent out.
"Tomorrow is not as good as today, there is a kind of fight today, if you don't fight, you will be a domestic dog!" Liu Jizhen was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and scolded in the direction where Gu Tulu was far away. The wolf riders ignored him, leaving more than a thousand people on guard, and the rest of the rear team became the front army, and the front army became the rear team, and slowly withdrew from the valley. Although the samurai were all dejected, the overall formation was not chaotic at all.
This alone is much stronger than a horse thief with a gust of wind. Liu Jizhen scolded for a while, feeling bored, so he had to return to the team and enter the Great Wall with the retreating Boling soldiers.
When Li Xu and the last wave of brothers retreated side by side. Li Jiancheng had already led a group of major generals to meet under the city wall. Everyone killed more than 3,000 wolf riders in the melee today, and swept the prestige of Gu Toru in front of them, so they raised their eyebrows one by one. Li Xu saw that Shi Derui, Han Jianhong and others were all following Li Jiancheng's side, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. After informing each other of their names and surnames again, they thanked each other and said: "Several heroes have come from thousands of miles away, and this affection is unforgettable for my Boling Army." In the future, there will be a place where we can wait, and a few of you will say a word. Whether it is in the wind or in the fire, Li will never dare to refuse! β
Listening to Li Xu's polite words, Wang Cong, the warden of Hejian County, was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "Where is General Li, is the old man also an official of the Great Sui!" After eating the people's offerings for so many years, how can there be a reason to shrink your neck when disaster comes? β
The general was serious. Although Shi Mou has no knowledge, he understands the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. I don't have many brothers under my command, and the more decent ones are about 3,000. Shi brought them all. Whether it is to charge into battle, or to transport grain and water, it all depends on the general's words. As long as the Turks do not retreat for a day, the brethren will obey you for a day! Shi Derui, the chief manager of the Wei clan, followed behind the old county guard Wang Cong and responded with a smile.
"When I'm old, my brother and I should have come a long time ago!" Han Jianhong, the owner of Yanshanzhai, spoke more simply, and got straight to the point as soon as he came up, "But our brothers are used to working against the official army, if no one introduces them, and they venture into your territory, they will inevitably be beaten out as thieves." So I kept waiting for the opportunity, and it happened that Brother Xie gave you grain to pass through the canal. As soon as the two of us calculated, we followed Brother Xie! β
"Back then, you killed me, I killed you, killed and killed. It's your own house that is messy, and it's an outsider who laughs. Under the sword of the Turkic wolf, when did we know who is the official army and who is the hero of the green forest! Speaking of the old grievances between each other, Li Xu was also emotional.
Shi Derui sighed and shook his head, "That's right." We haven't fished anything except dead people all these years! But if it weren't for the government forcing people to live, who would want to rebel? β
Han Jianhong also sighed, and said frankly: "General Hugh blames us for speaking directly, if it is for the faint king, I will not wait for this battle." He doesn't let us live, so we can't wait to die. But the wolf rode in on a different matter. The reason why our brothers respect you is also because you stand on the Great Wall! β
These past grievances and grievances must not be clear in one sentence or two. From the perspective of Li Jiancheng and Li Xu, Shi, Han and others are all bandits, and it is natural for the officials and soldiers to suppress bandits. But from the perspective of the latter two, they are doing the right thing for heaven, and Er Li is helping to abuse them.
Fortunately, everyone didn't think about how to entangle, and after a few words of the scene, even if they had explained. Li Xu waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Let's settle the past." "When you get to the Great Wall, everyone is a brother!"
"Yes, that's right, on the Great Wall, everyone is brothers! Past grievances, written off! Shi Derui and Han Jianhong spoke in unison.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and the past festivals were thrown out of the clouds. Li Xu turned his head and looked at Xie Yingdeng, "With the two generals you brought, I also have to thank you." Good brother, are you showing the Wagang banner without authorization today, aren't you afraid that Li Mi will blame you? β
He has led the army to fight for many years, and his eyes have long been trained to be extremely accurate. After entering the Great Wall, a cursory sweep showed the approximate number of reinforcements. Wang Cong, the county guard of Hejian, brought about 1,300 county soldiers. In the Wei area, when the green forest heroes who cut land to protect themselves, Derui brought 3,000 green forest elites. The number of people under the command of Han Jianhong, the owner of Yanshanzhai, is about the same as Shi Derui, but the equipment of the minions is very simple, and they are used to living a poor life at a glance. Among the reinforcements, the Wagang army had the smallest number, only 500 people when it was full, but they were all strong and strong.
With Li Mi's flamboyant character, if he had sent people to help regardless of past grievances, he would definitely not have sent only 500 people. So Li Xu guessed that Xie Yingdeng secretly came from Xu Maogong under the pretext of escorting military rations. Without Li Mi's permission at all. Today, he took the liberty of showing the battle flag of the Wagang Army in front of the Turks, and if he was reported by someone with a heart, I am afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble.
"It's okay, the general hasn't heard of the generals outside, isn't there anything wrong with the military order?" Xie Yingdeng shook his head indifferently and replied with a smile. "Besides, I have no intention of going back to Wagang this time. As for Mao Gong's side, you don't have to worry about him. As long as he doesn't return to the main village of Wagang, Master Li will not be able to do anything to him! β
Before Xie Yingdeng finished introducing the situation, Liu Jizhen was already waiting impatiently next to him. couldn't help but squeeze in front of Li Xu and protested loudly: "Silly boy, are you done talking?" Our brothers are hungry until yesterday afternoon! β
"Brother Liu, don't worry, I'll send someone to arrange the brothers' food and lodging later!" Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly pulled Liu Jizhen over, first apologized to the other party, and then introduced him to everyone: "This is a good friend I met when I was selling horses in Saishang, Liu Jizhen, the descendant of the great Khan of the Han Evil Khan!" β
"I've seen Liu Da Master!" Li Jiancheng, Xie Yingdeng, Shi Derui and others had already heard of the name of a gust of wind, and they all stepped forward and greeted Liu Jizhen with a fist.
"I've seen it, I've seen a few heroes." Liu Jizhen immediately changed his loyal and honest expression, and hugged his fists to make a circle. "I won't say kind words, anyway, Zhong Jian's brother is my brother Liu. In the future, we will fight side by side, everyone will rush to the front, Lao Liu and I will never fall behind! β
"I am willing to share life and death with Liu Da's family!" The heroes responded with a smile.
"Life and death, life and death!" Liu Jizhen grinned, "You Central Plains people just can speak." One word, more accurate than my old Liu's verbosity! βγ Turning his head to look at his brother, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he waved vigorously to the crowd, and shouted triumphantly: "Sister, dear sister, come and meet General Li and all the heroes of the Central Plains." Don't you don't believe that I have a friend like General Li? What's the matter, I pulled him over this time, do you believe it or not! β
There was an immediate burst of laughter from the crowd. In the good-natured laughter of everyone, a tall general wearing a brown fur coat and a black round helmet walked out and bowed down to Li Xu Yingying, "General Wenli is famous for a long time. The folk girl Shangguan Bi is so polite! β
"Shangguan, Miss Shangguan, don't be polite!" Li Xu was so embarrassed by Liu Jizhen, he bowed down with a red face, and returned a long bow.
"See, I said my good brother is different from other birdmen. Even if you become an official, you won't put on the shelf of a dog official, right? How is it, are you convinced this time? Liu Jizhen didn't care if Li Xu was embarrassed or not, and continued to show off with his throat.
"As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different. What's more, it's Brother Liu's good brother! Shangguan Biyan smiled and replied in a crepe-like manner.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of whom were different. It is used by scholars as a metaphor for a mother and siblings, but their conduct is very different. Shangguan Bi uses it here, a pun. On the surface, he praised Li Xu for being approachable, not like other officials of the Great Sui Dynasty who liked to put on music. Secretly, he was ridiculing Liu Jizhen for his poor temperament, and although he was friends with Li Xu, he couldn't compare with the other party at all.
Li Jiancheng, Xie Yingdeng and others understood and gritted their teeth and snickered. Liu Jizhen didn't understand the meaning of the nine sons of the dragon at all, thinking that the other party was flattering his noble bloodline, and he felt even happier in his heart, nodded and said loudly: "That's it, that's it, I, Liu Jizhen, am the descendant of Hu Han Evil Da Danyu, and my good brother Li Xu is the holy wolf appointed by the Immortal Heaven." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking and asked Li Xu, "By the way, Brother Zhongjian." Isn't there only one holy wolf? Why did Bone Toru get five more silver brutes? β
"Last time, Gu Toru invaded south with Shibi Khan. Ganro, who was regarded as a holy wolf by the tribe, was my friend, and refused to help him, which greatly demoralized him. He suffered a loss, so in the past two years, he didn't know what means to use to make up five silver wolves! Li Xu knew that the grassland people valued the sacred elements very seriously, thought about it, and carefully explained.
"No wonder those animals are full of bad spirits, and they don't look holy at all!" Liu Jizhen suddenly realized. In order to let everyone hear his conclusion clearly, he deliberately raised his voice very high, and added with a sneer: "If the holy relics can be raised by manpower, how can they be called holy relics? Gu Tuolu tampered with the will of the Immortal Heaven without authorization, and sooner or later he would be taken care of by the Immortal Heaven. Let's wait and see! β
"This guy looks crazy, but he's also a careless character!" After listening to Liu Jizhen's words, Li Jiancheng, who had been secretly observing everyone, thought to himself. Ever since the heroes appeared, he has been calculating in his heart who is worth befriending and who may have the opportunity to collect them in the future. The more I looked, the more joy I felt.
Li Xu naturally doesn't need to say that he is determined to succeed. Since Xie Yingdeng, who was closest to Li Xu, didn't want to go back to Wagang Mountain, he didn't know what conditions Tang Wangfu offered to recruit him? Just by virtue of this person's courage and courage to immediately show the banner of Wagang, it can be affirmed that he is a brave and resourceful person. Wang Cong, the warden of Hejian County, is a kind person, and being a magistrate can reassure his superiors. Shi Derui and Han Jianhong have different backgrounds, but listening to their words, they are also two who dare to act. With the rest of these ......, Li Jiancheng turned his attention to the horse thieves behind Liu Jizhen, these people are all skilled, and with a little training, they can become an elite. and that Shangguan Bi, what a heroine among women, she is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. Looking at the other party's snow-white neck and flower-like smile, unconsciously, Li Jiancheng's eyes were a little straight.
According to the previous division of labor, the chief officer in charge of the grain and grass of the group should have been built. Li Xu waited for a while and saw that he didn't react, so he had to do it for him. Walked quickly to the heroes, and said with a smile: "Everyone came from afar, and they worked hard all the way. Zhuojun is a remote place, and there is nothing delicious to greet you. Please come with me to the army for some drinks. The brothers under his command, although they are entrusted to their henchmen, and then follow my Zuo Sima Shi Defang, after the camp is set up, he will send the rice grain to everyone one by one! β
Anyway, pull the German side from the staff behind him. Personally introduce it to the heroes. When he was introduced to Shi Derui, the other party looked at Li Xu's face and suddenly laughed.
"There's one thing you shouldn't hide from the general. This guy! Shi Derui pointed to Shi Defang, who was wearing a third-grade military attache uniform, with a smug face, "This guy is my cousin." But the two of us have not been in harmony since childhood. I think he's poor and sour, and he thinks I'm rude and domineering. Ever since he entered the shogunate, I haven't had a bird with him! β
"I've heard this from the German side a long time ago. It's rare for you brothers to reunite, and find an opportunity to get together more. But then again, I want to open a small stove for your soldiers through the German side, but there is no door! Li Xu took the square with his hands and said a few jokes without any guilt.
"How can you, you also looked down on me too much when I was old. My brother is now the biggest official in the old family. I, as an elder brother, can't help him, but I don't dare to mess with his future! β
Sometimes the chief manager's own brothers are the bond, and the relationship between the heroes and Li Xu has been brought one step closer. They were relieved to hand over their brothers to the German side, who was responsible for assigning camping sites and adding supplies. After a while, Li Jiancheng was also forcibly pulled back from his distraction by Chen Yanshou, walked in front of everyone, and promised with a smile: "This time I came from Chang'an and emptied the weapons and armor in the Great Sui arsenal. You turned out to be guests, and Zhong Jian and I couldn't come up with any good greeting gifts. Each family was given 500 horizontal knives and 300 pieces of cowhide hard armor. After settling down for a while, you can send someone to my family's history, Chen senior's side to get it. β
In the hands of the heroes of the green forest, what is most lacking is regular weapons and armor. Therefore, after listening to Li Jiancheng's words, everyone was overjoyed. "Thank you for your righteousness!" All the heroes stood solemnly together, looking at each other's eyes, and they also changed from strange to warm.
"You're welcome!" Li Jiancheng waved his hand very magnificently, and added with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to live and die together, with the weapons at hand, the brothers can also kill a few more enemies!" β
With that, he quickly glanced in a certain direction with his gaze, and then quickly collected his thoughts.
