Chapter 212: Conflict
Wu Heita has a simple temperament and thinks that if he kills, he will have to pay for his life, but Xu Boda has many worries, not only worried that such a move will damage the prestige of the two, but also afraid that Wu Heita will enter the crowded border army camp and make a mistake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Xu Boda flashed, he blocked Wu Heita who was pulling the murderer, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, wait, this person can't be handed over for the time being." ”
"Why?" Wu Heita's face turned dark, and he felt that Xu Boda was suspected of covering up, "He stoned someone to death, and he can't let him escape like this!" ”
Xu Boda grabbed Wu Heita, his eyes swept the faces of all the members of the beggar gang around him, and his heart sank, because the faces of these people were full of puzzlement and struggle, the reason why they joined the beggar gang was because the propaganda slogan that they confessed was not to let them be bullied again, not to let them go hungry again, and then Youzhou Thorn Shi reused the members of the beggar gang to assist the Youzhou sergeant to stabilize the situation, so that they enjoyed an experience they had never had.
When each member of the beggar gang supervised the distribution of food and cooperated with patrols, his body was upright, and his face was full of pride that could not be dissolved.
However, today's scene has shaken their fragile beliefs, the gang who gets along well on weekdays killed someone, and the gang leader wanted to use him to find someone to explain without saying a word, although Wu Heita did it right, but it directly caused a huge impact on their little self-esteem.
People, whether they should pay it or not, they don't have a certain number in their hearts, but they don't want to see the helper hurriedly pulling the murderer and asking him to kill people to pay for his life.
Xu Boda is worried about this, those veterans who have joined the beggar gang for some time, he is not worried, but he cares very much about the thoughts of newcomers. Because Yu Deshui once told him that the so-called patriarchs will be eliminated sooner or later, and now is the time for the rapid development of the beggar gang, only if the new gang is not disappointed in the beggar gang, then there will be more and more new people to join.
"You can't let him escape like this, killing people always has to pay for their lives, this is the truth of iron!" Xu Boda said earnestly, and then the words changed, and his voice became very stern, "But this person can't be handed over to those soldiers, the person died in Youzhou, and this case has to be handled in Youzhou!" If you hand them over now, you'll probably be killed right away!" ”
"That's right! Right! Gang Master Xu is right! ”
The member of the beggar gang who was about to be scared stupid, and he didn't want to face those angry border soldiers who were killed, and immediately responded and said, and some of the beggar gang members next to him, their faces improved slightly, and they also talked about this person.
Wu Heita thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Boda said was right, the murder case had to be handed over to the parents and officials for trial, and those soldiers could not be allowed to beat people to death without permission, so he immediately nodded heavily: "Brother Xu is still thoughtful, this person has to let the officials of Youzhou come to trial, so let's do it, Elder Zhang, you go and notify them to get people now!" Brother Xu, let's go down and make it clear to those soldiers, they have to listen to the yamen about this! ”
Elder Zhang's face was stunned, and he said in his heart, Gang Leader Wu, you are really law-abiding, you can say this kind of thing in private, but you must not say it in front of everyone! Elder Zhang was reluctant to take on this errand, after all, he was offending people, and when he led the people from the yamen back, what kind of eyes would the brothers in the gang look at him? However, it was not easy for him to refuse Wu Heta's request, because people also said that he would go to the border army camp in person regardless of the danger, and as an elder of the beggar gang, he could not lose the face of the gang leader.
When Xu Boda heard Wu Heita's words, his face was also dark, but he was also a little helpless, Wu Heita was a tendon, and the eight horses couldn't pull it back, so as not to make other trouble, he had to take the initiative to echo Wu Heita's order, and watched Elder Zhang get up and leave, and at the same time accompanied Wu Heita to the gate of the border barracks.
At this time, the situation in the border army camp has reached the point where Li Jiangbei has to come forward to suppress it, and he is of course very angry when his subordinates die, but he doesn't want to affect his plans because of this incident!
Li Jiangbei looked at the angry faces, and had to raise his hand to suppress everyone's anger: "Don't worry, the murderer will never escape, but what are you like?" Do you remember the military regulations? ”
If Li Jiangbei's officers hadn't died in Zhu Yuan, then he would have been able to suppress the angry border soldiers without him coming forward in person, but the anger that these people had accumulated in their hearts for many days made them unable to bear Li Jiangbei's rhetoric.
They rushed back from the border pass, just to spend a lot of time in Youzhou and enjoy a good life, but the result was because those damned victims not only had no way to enter the city freely, but also had to suffer the white eyes of the border victims every day. They have unspeakable grievances in their hearts, and they shed their blood on the battlefield, isn't it to regain their homeland for those victims? But the victims of the disaster regarded them as the culprits of the uprooting, and they could say any dirty words!
In the past, there were officers under their supervision, and these border soldiers could still forcibly swallow this breath, but since all the officers died in an unknown way, they became more and more unable to figure it out if they couldn't get an explanation, and some people even pulled their anger on Li Jiangbei.
Because those officers were sent by Li Jiangbei to never return, but after that, Li Jiangbei did not show any of them, and it was not until today that the battalion hurriedly came forward and informed all the soldiers to march overnight.
How could they, already exhausted by the war, endure such a breath? Especially the gray departure, which is tantamount to being driven away by a bunch of beggars!
So, some people who were not convinced pointed to the corpse on the ground, gritted their teeth with red eyes and shouted: "Major General, you have to avenge your brother for everything you say today!" Otherwise, we won't go! ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and his shout spoke the hearts of everyone, and for a while, the surging sound of the people who should be with him made Li Jiangbei frown heavily.
"That's right! You can't go, you have to kill the murderer! Are we really eating dry rice? What kind of majesty does a gang of Hanako play? ”
"Murder pays for life! Can't stay so away! ”
"Major General, you have to call the shots for us!"
Listening to the shouts one after another, the flickering firelight reflected Li Jiangbei's gloomy face, at this time, he never wanted to see the sudden waves, so as not to affect the plan to attack and kill Duan Pingsheng. However, in the face of his indignant subordinates, he could not suppress them with strong means, after all, he was alone at this time, and his subordinates could not even find a working person! Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of Wu Heita and Xu Boda, immediately calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "I naturally know your intentions, the people of the beggar gang are here, I will go to negotiate with them, without my order, you are strictly forbidden to use force, take out some sergeants, lest a group of people call Huazi to look flat!" ”
As he spoke, Li Jiangbei pushed aside the crowd and walked under the camp gate to greet Wu Heita and Xu Boda, who led the beggars to come.
In order to prevent accidents, Xu Boda did not obey Wu Heta's advice and went to the meeting alone, but called the beggars. Wu Heita was anxious, there was no greeting or circumference, and he shouted directly from afar: "Young General, it's because I didn't discipline strictly and didn't look down on my brother, I'll accompany you first, but this person can't give it to you now, I have already sent someone to inform the people of the yamen, and the case has to be tried by the government!" ”
When Li Jiangbei heard the first few words, his expression softened, and he felt that Wu Heita could still speak, but the more he went to the back, the tighter his brows tightened, and in the end, he even snorted coldly. This matter is handed over to the government to handle, strictly speaking, there is no problem, but their identity is a soldier registered in the Tang Dynasty, and the military has died, and they can directly punish the murderer, even if the yamen has an opinion, they have to turn a blind eye, especially those like them who have just returned from the border pass.
Xu Boda listened to Wu Heita's words, biting his tongue, thinking that in the future, he would have to teach this kid the ability to talk about people and talk nonsense, but now he said that the brothers in the gang have the same hatred, but these border soldiers on the opposite side are all angry.
However, he took the initiative to make the proposal not to hand it over, and he couldn't deny anything, otherwise it would leave a two-faced impression on the beggar gang members. However, in order to avoid the intensification of the contradiction, he still took the initiative to come forward to play a round: "Young General, people can't be resurrected after death, Brother Wu and I are both responsible, and when the time comes, the yamen will not strictly supervise us, and we will definitely have no complaints!" ”
"That person is holding him on the mountain now, crying dad and calling mother, I didn't dare to take him down, I'm afraid that snot and tears will dirty your body! If the major general is willing, he will lead a few people up the mountain with me, and ask the situation first, and know why he is throwing stones and killing people! ”
Hearing this, Li Jiangbei's eyes finally became cold, and he waved his hand: "Don't look at it, I don't care why he killed, in short, he must die, I want to take his head and pay tribute to our dead brothers!" ”
Hearing this, the soldiers of the border army nodded slightly, and finally agreed to Li Jiangbei's proposal, but on the other hand, the beggar gang was a little unhappy, killing people pays for their lives, this life is paid for you, can't you leave a whole corpse for others? What's the matter, you're a human being in the army, and our gang of Hanako aren't human? Again, the murderer is hateful, but he didn't think that a stone could kill someone!
Even if the yamen convicts a man of manslaughter, he doesn't need you to humiliate people like this, and still pay tribute to your dead brother? Phew!
Before Wu Heita and Xu Boda could speak, some of the beggars' men jumped out, pointed at Li Jiangbei's nose and shouted, "Take the head to pay tribute?" Take your head and pay homage! Are we really bullied? So how did you end up stuck here? A bunch of soldiers who eat imperial food and don't do their jobs, what are they still doing alive? We might as well give us the rest of the food! ”
With this shout, the situation immediately became tense, and the soldiers of the border army, who were already disgruntled, immediately forgot Li Jiangbei's advice, and copied the guys one after another, and excitedly wanted to give these guys who didn't know what to do to look good, Li Jiangbei, who was dismissed, had an even more ugly face, with green tendons beating on his forehead, and his hands quietly rested on the heavy knife and fast sword on his waist.
Wu Heita, who had an angry face, saw Li Jiangbei's appearance, and immediately took out the famous knife given to him by Duan Pingsheng, but Xu Boda, who saw that the situation was not good, gritted his teeth and acted as a peacemaker again.
"Don't do it, don't do it! Listen to me! ”
Xu Boda shouted at the top of his voice: "We are our own family fighting our own family!" Our beggar gang was seen by the prince himself, and the young general is the brother of the prince, how can he be so dignified that he suddenly wants to face each other with swords? I advise everyone to take a step back and not to use force, lest you completely hurt the harmony! ”
Li Jiangbei glanced at Xu Boda, and agreed with his statement, if at this juncture, the two sides suddenly fight, this will be a game, if Duan Pingsheng sees that there is a problem on this side of the col from a distance, maybe he will not enter the best ambush circle, he will go home directly, if he wants to intercept and kill halfway, the difficulty increase is not half a star.
But it backfired, because when Li Changlin was in charge of the border army, he deliberately weakened or even rejected the image of King Wuyou, so in the minds of the soldiers of the border army, Duan Pingsheng was no different from the scum, not to mention that these soldiers had followed Li Jiangbei to kill King Wu's mansion before, but they were slapped back by a big wave, and they were even more resentful of Duan Pingsheng.
Therefore, someone on the side of the border army immediately shouted: "Don't talk nonsense about your own family!" Don't pee and look like yourself, who is your own family? ”
The beggar gang members don't look sloppy in dress, but many of them have just joined the beggar gang, and they have not officially accepted their identity.
Xu Boda secretly screamed that it was not good, but it was too late, and he only heard a few screams from some border soldiers, and then completely set off an offensive frenzy that was difficult to contain.
Because the border army is fully armed, even if they suffer losses first, they did not let the members of the beggar gang take any advantage, and a few beggar gangs who couldn't dodge couldn't dodge, and they saw red on their bodies, and the wooden poles in their hands were not the opponents of steel swords at all.
However, the beggar gang is not without the power to resist, they are not fully armed, but there are many skilled martial arts among them, and several martial artists saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went to the front, and resolved the decline in three strokes and two strokes.
This is, the best martial arts in the border army is Li Jiangbei, and most of the rest have no attainments, in front of a group of martial arts masters, ordinary swords can not take advantage of it at all, and they have experienced the baptism of stones and flying sand at the same time, and the momentum of the border army was immediately suppressed by more than half.
And someone saw Li Jiangbei's gloomy face, so they put the target on him, just as the so-called capture the thief first captures the king, a few stones beckoned directly to the head.
Silver light flashes, swords dance wildly!
With a raise of his hand, Li Jiangbei smashed all the flying stones, and he could no longer bear the aggressiveness of the beggar gang, so he immediately shouted coldly, and all the members of the border army formed a battle formation to resist the martial arts masters in the beggar gang.
With Li Jiangbei as the backbone, the members of the border army immediately stabilized their positions, and they relied on the large camp to lay down a heavy sword formation, always beware of the beggars and warriors, as for those flying sand and stones, they can only cause painless damage.
However, such a stalemate was only temporary, because Xu Boda had no choice but to make a move when he saw Wu Heita go into battle in person, and as the highest martial artist in the audience, he cooperated with Wu Heita to immediately make the battle situation favorable to the beggar gang......
