Chapter 5: Homelessness (Part 2)

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng and the others to go far, Liu Hongji and Li Xu immediately ordered the remaining brothers to pull their horses and hide in the woods. Those who chose to stay and go to Bo Shan Village to relieve the siege were all heroes who put life and death aside, so Liu Hongji didn't have to talk nonsense to agitate. He roughly organized the men into three brigades, leaving a group of brothers to stand guard around the forest, and then waved his hand and ordered the rest to rest in the forest.

Knowing that he would never go back this time, everyone became more down-to-earth in their hearts. After a while, there was a low snoring in the woods. Liu Hongji and Li Xu didn't dare to sleep, and patrolled along the perimeter of the woods with weapons. After walking for a while, Liu Hongji slowed down and said apologetically: "I dragged you to Liaodong, I wanted to send you a fortune." Who would have thought that I would send you to the edge of the horse water......"

"Brother Liu, why did he say this, to be honest, my biggest wish back then was just to mix up in the local area, and I could mix with the colonel and captain, hehe..." Li Xu pointed to the iron helmet on his finger and made fun of himself frankly, "I already like to go crazy, even if I really die on the battlefield, I will not humiliate my ancestors in this life!" ”

"Look at your ambition!" Liu Hongji smashed Li Xu sideways, and scolded with a smile: "If I were you, I would have to be a general and then want to die in battle!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that they were in a good mood. It seems that they have returned to the days when they went back from the grassland hand in hand, except for friendship, there is no trace of dust.

"What is Brother Liu's ambition in life? Is the general or the champion? Li Xu laughed enough, and asked whether he had a match or not.

"Be a local assassin, just like my father!" Liu Hongji replied in a low voice, "My father didn't collect money during his lifetime, but after he died, my mother and I suffered a lot of white eyes. My former relatives and friends were suddenly far away, as if I had just contracted the plague! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "So, I am determined to be a stabbing in this life, a county guard, so that my mother will no longer be looked down upon, and if I have a son in the future, I will no longer be bullied!"

"Brother Liu doesn't have a son?" Li Xu asked in surprise. has been dating Liu Hongji for so long, and he has never cared about whether the other party has a family or not. At this moment, when I heard the other party mention his children, I suddenly realized that Liu Hongji was in his thirties! Not only are there few children at this age who have no heirs in their hometowns, but they can't find a few in the entire Great Sui!

"Although I have a vain lord with a right lord, I have no official position. People who can't even afford to eat, whose daughter is willing to marry! Liu Hongji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If we can go back alive, maybe the court will be promoted to the official of the eldest brother again!" Li Xu said with a smile, and his eyes flashed a little bit of longing for the future. The 300,000 army was annihilated, but Liu Hongji led more than 300 people upstream. From his own point of view, such an official is the pillar of the Great Sui, and His Majesty the Emperor should be able to appreciate it.

"The 300,000 army has been defeated, and the emperor can't reward the merits of our few soldiers no matter what. Otherwise, the faces of those great generals will be embarrassed. Therefore, we are absolutely losing money this time, and in addition to being worthy of our conscience, not too many people will remember! Liu Hongji shook his head again, denying Li Xu's blind optimism.

"That's just as well!" Li Xu put on a depressed face, raised his leg and kicked a dead branch, "But saving one is one, those people care!" ”

Liu Hongji turned his head sideways in surprise, and suddenly found that the little brother next to him, who was half younger than his age, spoke very skillfully, "Yes, those who survive will remember!" He said with a smile, and suddenly, with a light in his eyes, he pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife in alarm.

"Someone!" Li Xu also heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the woods, rushed forward a few steps, and hid behind the tree hairs at the edge of the woodland with a scimitar. Not far away, five horses galloped forward, the first one was weak and almost unstable on a war horse, but his arms were holding the neck of the war horse.

"It's Yu Wenshi, as well as Wang Yuantong and Lao Qi, why did they run back again?" Liu Hongji let go of the handle of the knife and muttered a little unhappily.

If there were enemy troops nearby at this moment, Yuwen Shi and the others would definitely be captured alive. The strong men who protect the grain hidden in the forest will also be exposed because of their recklessness. But this is not the time to blame them, first figuring out whether Li Jiancheng and the others are in trouble is the first priority.

"Li Gongzi didn't encounter trouble, and I felt that everyone drank wine together every day and ate meat together every day. You go to fight with people, Lao Qi doesn't follow, it's a bit unrighteous! Qi Poning saw Li Xu, accompanied him with a smile, and explained in a low voice.

"Ziying is such a person, and they all carry knives up. My old king turned around, and when everyone gets together again in the future, you guys won't all press me under your tongue. This deal, I feel that Lao Wang is a bit of a loss! Wang Yuantong jumped off the horse and shouted with a hippie smile.

"Be quiet, the brethren are resting!" Liu Hongji scolded in a low voice, took the reins of the two friends' horses, and his heart was surging.

"The Yuwen family's wreckage doesn't have a relationship with you!" Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenzhong were helped off his horse by Yu Wen Zhong and another guard, gasping for breath as he spat out his forked tongue. "The Yuwen family's nest is calculated, and the chance of killing and living seems to be greater. Once the trapped brothers are rescued, we will have more than 3,000 people on our side. More than 3,000 people walking west together is definitely safer than more than 400! ”

At this time, there was no one to fight with the Yuwen Shi anymore. Li Xu smiled magnanimously, turned around and went into the depths of the woods, found a piece of felt from the pack horse, handed it to the people of the Yuwen family, and motioned for the three of them to lie down and rest first. Yu Wenshi didn't intend to let Liu and Li go, his body just fell crookedly, and he immediately supported half of his head with his arm, and asked Li Xu in a low voice: "The two generals who are not afraid of death have a strategy to break the enemy?" Don't tell me that you deceived more than 300 brothers into following you, just so that they could pounce on them and become ghosts! ”

"Liu is worried about this matter, if the people in Bo Fenzhai know that we are coming to help, the two sides should cooperate with each other, and they may not be able to break through the siege of the Goguryeo people. But now there are enemy troops everywhere, and it's really hard to send a message in! Liu Hongji arched his hand and responded in a low voice. Although he has always had a bad impression of the people of the Yuwen family, the courage of Yuwen and being able to return to live and die with everyone has won his respect.

"The people in the village are not stupid, when they hear the movement, are they still willing to wait for death?" Yu Wenshi smiled and continued to sneer.

Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, squatted down, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Horse is saying that as long as we make the momentum bigger, the people inside will rush out by themselves!" ”

"They are lambs to the slaughter now, and they have to jump out at any chance. As for how to make the momentum bigger, it must be difficult for you two unworthy brave generals! ”

"Please give me advice!" Liu Hongji gave Yu Wenshi a military salute and asked questions.

Yu Wenji speaks ugly and behaves strangely, but when he does not consider the interests of the family, his mind is one of the best among the children of the family. When he said this, he must have thought of a way to break the enemy, and for the safety of his brothers, Liu Hongji did not hesitate to suffer many cold words from the other party.

"Aren't you two the best at setting fires? How did the Turkic camp burn back then, and it will continue to burn tonight. Do you still need me to teach you this trick! Yu Wenshi glanced at Liu Hongji with pure white eyeballs, and counted the words with disdain.

"Set fire? Burn the Turks? Li Xu stood up suddenly, and instinctively touched the handle of the knife. Looking at Yu Wenshi and his triumphant appearance, he instantly understood that the other party had no malicious intent.

"That's a brilliant plan!" Liu Hongji and Li Xu quickly exchanged glances, and they both read the word "admiration" from each other's hearts. There were only about 300 brothers in the woods, but there were nearly 1,000 horses left to carry the grain. If you let the startled horse go to the camp, it will definitely have a greater effect than a human step. And in the darkness, the fire is most visible. As long as the fire in the enemy camp burned, the brothers trapped in the village knew that the opportunity to break through was coming, even if they were slow to react.

Thinking of this, the two of them bowed down at the same time and saluted Yu Wenshi again: "Thank you for your advice!" ”

"You can save more people, and I'll be safer!" We don't owe! Yu Wenshi replied with a sour face and a frown.

Although he was still a nasty picture, Liu Hongji and Li Xu couldn't help but have a much better impression of the children of the family in front of them. The two of them immediately used a tree branch as a pen and planned in detail the steps to attack the enemy camp on the ground in front of each other. After everything was almost discussed, he raised his head and asked Yu Wenshi, "Lord Governor, do you think this arrangement is feasible?" ”

"Murder and arson, you are better than me!" Yu Wenshi rolled his eyelids and continued to spray "venom" with his tongue.

"Captain Horse has won the award, this fire is set by the Great Sui, just to break the enemy, don't care about the reputation behind you!" Liu Hongji smiled and replied solemnly.

"Aren't you wondering, how do I know about your evil deeds of setting fire to the Turks and stealing other people's war horses?" Seeing that Liu Hongji did not move, Yu Wenshi changed the topic and asked proudly.

"It's still early before dark, if Lord Governor is willing to speak, Liu will listen. If you don't want to say it, how dare Liu force the Governor! Liu Hongji once again gave his hand and used politeness as the best defensive weapon.

"Next time you offer a horse to the emperor, remember not to sacrifice someone's first-class horse. There are several varieties that the Turks never sell, unless you pay with a knife. Yu Wenshi lowered his arms, straightened his body, and said sourly. Also, the kid who rode the black horse, don't tell me that you don't know that the crotch mount is the special rider of the Turkic royal family! ”

After that, ignoring the embarrassment of the two, the "poisonous snake" closed his eyes and snorted softly.
