Chapter 2: Mobs
Liu Biao's Assassin's Mansion in Xiangyang City is naturally the most solemn place in Xiangyang City, but today the door of the Assassin's Mansion was wide open, and Liu Biao, who was blessed, even personally sent out an elegant scribe, and he also warmly held this person's arm, showing full cordiality.
Liu Biao said happily: "This plan is very good, I believe that according to this plan, we will definitely be able to eradicate the thieves in one fell swoop, and the following things will have to worry about the difference." ”。
Liu Biao affectionately called "Xeno" was the Zhang Ling Taishou Kuai Yue they wanted to visit that year, "Xeno" was his word, and he and his brother Kuai Liang were the two most valued advisors by Liu Biao.
Kuai Yue bowed and clenched his fists: "Lord, please rest assured, the more you will complete the entrustment and relieve the worries of the sect thief as soon as possible!" ”
Liu Biao was very happy.
After respectfully taking his leave, Kuai Yue got into a carriage and drove down the street towards his own mansion.
Kuai Yue sat quietly on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, carefully scrutinizing the details of the implementation of the plan against the sect thief.
When he came back this time, through a large number of spies, he told Liu: "Most of the leaders of the thieves are greedy and cruel, and their subordinates are also worried about them. As long as they are lured, the leaders of the thieves will definitely lead the crowd to come, and then as long as they seize the opportunity to kill all the leaders of the thieves, then the soldiers and people of this state will be grateful to your dignity and the people's wishes! ”
Although the plan is not complicated, how to implement it is very skillful, and the most difficult part is how to convince the suspicious leader of the thief sect of his sincerity, and finally be lured by the profit.
Just as Kuai Yue was carefully considering the details, the carriage had unconsciously arrived outside his mansion, and the horseman turned his head and said, "My lord, there are five strong men waiting outside the door, do you want to meet you?" ”
Curious, Kuai Yue opened the curtain and saw that there were indeed five young men on the side of the door, men and women, armed with weapons, but they all saluted to the carriage.
Kuai Yue waved his hand to let the guards who came forward to take two steps back, and then let the groom drive forward, and then asked kindly: "I am Zhang Ling Taishou Kuai Yue, I don't know what advice a few strong men have?" ”
That year, he hugged his fists again: "Several of our brothers have traveled all over the world, and we often hear that the different degrees are gentle, virtuous, strategic, and virtuous, so I came here to ask for advice." ”
People like to listen to other people's praise, Kuai Yue is no exception, he listened to him praise him so much that year, he was in a happy mood, and he looked at that year.
Kuai Yue narrowed his eyes, touched his short hair, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for advice, but you can tell me, maybe I still know a little bit about it." ”
That year, he asked: "The three princes of the world, what is the great general in the past, there is Dong Taishi in the back, and now the ASEAN lord Yuan Benchu, there are many princes at the same time, I don't know which adult can best assist the young emperor and revive the Han dynasty in the eyes of the Duke of Xenodu?" ”
Kuai Yue was slightly stunned, this young man actually asked the world directly, the pattern is too big.
Kuai Yue then replied without thinking: "The first recommendation should be our Jingzhou Mujing Shenggong, Liu Jingzhou is the emperor's family, gentle and benevolent, and sits on the land of grain production, reviving the Han family is the first to recommend Jingsheng Gong!" ”
That year, I knew that Kuai Yue would definitely recommend Liu Biao first, after all, people were still mixing under Liu Biao's hands.
Kuai Yue saw that there was no reaction from the others that year, and he added: "Secondly, Xuchang Mengde is anxious and righteous, and he is a strong general, and he also has the posture of protecting the tripod. ”
In the end, Kuai Yue asserted: "The rest of the people are not like this, and the two of them are also!" ”
That year, I sighed in my heart, it seems that this Kuai Yue is no different from the one in history, they are all "pro-Cao faction", and there is nothing new.
That year, he bowed again and asked, "I want to ask the Duke of Xenodu, your nephew Kuai Qi can be in the city now?" ”
Kuai Yue was stunned again, just after asking the world, and asked my nephew, this gap is a bit big, right?
Kuai Yue quickly adjusted his mentality and asked kindly: "My nephew has already returned to the ancestral house, in Xinye City, it turns out that you and Qi'er are also old acquaintances?" ”
That year smiled and said: "We have nothing to do with Kuai Qi, we just want to get to know his wife and brother through him." ”
"His brother-in-law?" Kuai Yue didn't react for a while.
That year, he hurriedly explained: "We have heard that Kuaiqi's wife and brother Zhuge Liang are resourceful and far-sighted, so we want to visit him, but we are afraid that it will be a bit abrupt to ask for a meeting, so we especially want Kuaiqi to introduce him." ”
Kuai Yue only then understood who he was talking about that year, he said with a little disappointment: "Kong Ming, he lives in seclusion in Longzhong, not far from the city, hehe, Kong Ming made up a "Liang Fu Yin", chanting all day long, and he has indeed gained a little bit of fame, and he often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but unfortunately what ability does the person with the weak crown have the ability to guide the country? If you want to listen to everyone's point, I have a few great Confucians who can recommend it to you, as for some people saying that Kong Ming is resourceful and far-sighted, I am afraid that you will be disappointed after meeting! ”
That year, when everyone heard that Kuai Yue looked down on Zhuge Liang so much, they all laughed secretly in their hearts, it seems that although Kuai Yue is also a good strategist, his vision is still very limited, maybe this is the common problem of literati being light.
Kuai Yue saw that a few young people were noncommittal, and said sincerely: "If a few strong men have the heart to be a leader, I can recommend them to the Jingzhou Gong on their behalf, and I will not let your talents be buried!" ”
That year, he clasped his fists and saluted again: "Thank you for your kindness, we still have to travel the world, and when we are tired, we will consider finding a way to enter the office, and then we will definitely consider Jingzhou Gong, don't dare to disturb anymore, we say goodbye." ”
After saying that, he bowed deeply and left with everyone.
Kuai Yue was also a little baffled, but after all, he was very polite, smiled slightly, lowered the curtains, and ordered the carriage to drive into his mansion.
When he walked away, Li Muhao breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you all talking about, I don't understand anything, what Jingsheng Gong, what Liu Jingzhou, what Meng Degong, who are they?" ”
That year smiled slightly and explained to him: "Jingsheng Gong and Liu Jingzhou are referring to Liu Biao, Meng Degong is Cao Cao, and fortunately I memorized their words in advance, otherwise I really can't deal with it, calling others here is an honorific title, and it is impolite to call them by their names, so you also have to remember other people's words." ”
Qingtong asked lightly, "What now?" ”
That year sighed: "Since we can't find Kuaiqi, let's go directly to Zhuge Liang, no one will introduce us, we will visit directly, anyway, we are not inviting him out, just chatting, he shouldn't refuse, right?" ”
Everyone nodded, it was too cumbersome to go around like this, and going straight to the point was more to their appetite.
Everyone went back to the inn to pack up and went straight to Longzhong, twenty miles south of Xiangyang City.
Xiangyang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is currently the time when the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
It is a pity that the world is turbulent, pedestrians on the road are rare, after they are a few miles away from the city, the road is empty, everyone looks at the carriage that is burned on the side of the road from time to time, the good mood brought by the beautiful scenery is greatly reduced, they frown slightly, their hands lightly put on the weapon, and began to secretly guard.
When the road was over, they turned onto the mountain road, which became more rugged and denser with weeds.
That year suddenly sighed and made a gesture, everyone understood that this meant that there were people lurking on both sides of the road in front of him, looking at the gestures of that year, there were about a dozen.
They pretended to be unaware and went on their way, making up their minds that they would ignore them as long as the lurkers did not stop them.
After all, the Dragon Squad are all evolutionary people, and they don't want to conflict with ordinary people.
But it's a pity that the other party didn't think so, a broken gong sounded, and more than a dozen people jumped out from both sides of the road, surrounding the Longteng team from the front and back.
These men were all dressed in rags, barely able to cover their bodies, their faces were yellow, and most of the weapons in their hands were farm tools, except for a few broken knives that were still covered with rust.
It's just that the momentum of the mob interceptor is not low, the leader looked at the members of the dragon team one by one with greedy eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after laughing twice, he said to the people around him in a dumb voice: "This time the luck is so good, they are all thin skin and tender meat, the men go back to eat them, the women give birth to us children, and their clothes can also be sold for money, it's perfect!"
Eat? Everyone in the Dragon Squad gasped, and the sympathy they still had was swept away.
That year, he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you who stop us from doing what we want?" ”
The leader let out two more ugly laughs, and then he raised his hoarse voice and shouted: "We are the Taiping Righteous Army, are you afraid?" Obediently didn't resist, I promise to give you a good time, absolutely no pain! ”
"Taiping Road?" Li Muhao looked at that year and said softly: "The Yellow Turban Army is like this? How can this sweep half of China? ”
That year, he also replied softly: "The Yellow Turban Army should not have spread here, this must be a mob in the name of Taiping Dao, you see they don't even have a Yellow Turban, it must be fake." ”
When the leader of the mob saw that several young men on the opposite side were not only not terrified, but dared to whisper there, he immediately became furious and shouted: "Go! ”
The outbreak immediately swarmed up, and everyone's eyes lit up with a faint green glow.
That year reached out and took Biluo, waved his gun to force the mob away, and shouted at the same time: "We don't want to kill you, get out of the way!" Otherwise, death! ”
Suddenly, Jiumu screamed, everyone was startled, and when they looked back, a mob had fallen to the ground, but he hugged Jiumu's leg tightly, and his teeth had bitten on Jiumu's calf!
Qingtong threw a punch, and the mob was knocked unconscious by a punch, and let go of the arms that were holding Jiumu tightly, but Jiumu's pants had been bitten through, and there were deep tooth marks on his legs, and blood had flowed out!
Qing Tong looked at Jiumu angrily and asked him, "Are you stupid?" "It's just a malnourished mob, and the little Taoist priest has a lot of means to resist, which one uses that peachwood sword.
Jiumu muttered, "I don't dare to kill him." ”
At this time, the mob that had retreated forced up again, and Li Muhao also took off the long stick from behind his back, and asked in a deep voice: "Kill or not?" ”
That year, he plunged into a big tree with a gun, and then shook it hard, and the big tree exploded from the middle with a "boom", and the broken wooden strips flew out, and then the big tree fell to the ground with a bang!
The mob was terrified, they were just a group of ordinary humans who were extremely hungry, how could they have seen such a brave person! The mob immediately retreated quickly, making way for the path.
Seeing the mob retreat, the Dragon Squad began to move forward cautiously, the mob did not flee, but pulled away slightly, and the green eyes kept staring at everyone, and the Dragon Squad could even see them swallowing and foaming hard.
After the dragon team passed through the mob, Li Muhao was at the end, and everyone began to speed up, looking back, the outbreak chased a few steps slightly, and finally gave up, and then disappeared into the grass.
Li Muhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that I still like the Yellow Turban Army a lot, and I resist violence." How righteous is the peasant uprising! Now I just hope that the real Yellow Turbans are not like those people just now. ”
Qing Tong frowned slightly and said, "Looking at their appearance, they have already eaten people!" ”
Hongyun said with trepidation: "Their gaze is so scary, they don't look at us like they are looking at the same kind at all, but at food!" ”
Jiumu's leg had already stopped bleeding after a "life" that year, but he also had palpitations, and he didn't know why the palm thunder was already at hand, but he couldn't send it.
That year, a long sigh and words revealed the reason for Jiumu's hesitation: "Although they cannibalize people, they used to be farmers after all, but they lost their land and had no food source, and they became mobs in order to survive. ”
The mood of the people began to be heavy, and there was little left of the ignorance and goodwill of the rebel army, and at the same time, they also had a clearer understanding of the magnificent competition for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms, maybe it was not the heroes who created this era, but the era that forced many people to become heroes.
Fortunately, there were no mobs in the back, they went deep into a valley along the mountain road, and in front of them was a tall archway, with two big official books "Longzhong" written on them.
Finally arrived, everyone was in high spirits, and they were about to step forward quickly, when suddenly there was a bowstring sound, and an arrow shot straight at the most eye-catching Li Muhao!
