Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fighting the Tartars

The Liu family does have a lot of food, except for the distribution to the people in the town, it is loaded with fifteen carts, according to the estimation of Li Rui, who accompanied the army, I am afraid that there are not more than 1,000 stones.

Liu Jiabao's weapons were with Huang Wenchang, the captain of the transport brigade, and Li Xingzhi could not see it, so he only ordered people to load the arrows, medicines, lime and other consumables in the fort onto the mule cart.

Thanks to the help of the people, the supplies were loaded before dawn.

After everything was done, Li Xingzhi took Liu Dachang, who had already fainted in fright, with a knife, tore a piece of rag, and wrote at the gate of Liujiabao with blood, "Murderers and fort breakers, Gaoyang Li Xingzhi and Anzhou Zhang Shaoqian are also!" "A few big blood-red letters.

Then he ordered Chen Wu and Li Rui to lead the fire camp to escort the Liu family's courtyard back first, and he led the Gangfeng camp to Zhang Shaoqian's hundred households.

Spirits and sweat medicine, although the officers and soldiers of the hundred households of Liu Lizhuang were tied into zongzi, they still slept like dead pigs.

Li Xingzhi stepped into the lobby of the hundred households with a knife, and Wang Zhong, who was leaning in the corner of the wall and pretending to sleep, hurriedly got up and asked, "Brother Li, the matter of Liujiabao has been solved?" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Xingzhi nodded, and asked again, "What about Zhang Shaoqian?" Hurry up and get a basin of water, wake him up, let's see if we can pull him into the gang now, Li Xingzhi is ruthless to this hundred household officials who dare to do it with real knives and guns. ”

Wang Zhong had already interrogated Ma Liu clearly when he tied up these officers and soldiers, and immediately smiled and ordered the soldiers around him to fetch water.

The soldier was also a discerning man, and before Wang Zhong finished speaking, he ran out with a smoke.

The antidote to sweat medicine is licorice and cold water, Zhang Shaoqian was knocked down by a large basin of cold water, and suddenly woke up, this will only feel soft and weak all over his body, and there are two more smiling strangers in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Shaoqian was shocked, snorted, and struggled to get up, but his hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes, where could he move.

"Guess?" Li Xing squatted in front of Zhang Shaoqian and said with a smile.

Looking at the ropes on his body, and then at the sturdy subordinates who were tied up in the lobby, Zhang Shaoqian knew that what he was in front of him must be a thief, but how did this thief enter the town? How can you tie yourself and others tightly?

The amount of alcohol he and his brothers, Zhang Shaoqian is clear, more than 80 brothers drank 20 jars of wine, how could they be drunk like this, it seems that he is in the way of others, Zhang Shaoqian's heart is like lightning, that is, he asked: "Why did you tie us up but didn't kill us?" ”

Li Xingzhi grew up and said with a smile: "Zhang Baihu, a certain family is Gaoyang Li Xingzhi, I have heard that Zhang Baihu is brave and brave, and he is a good man who kills Tartars. ”

"Hahaha......!"

Zhang Shaoqian laughed, then looked at Li Xingyi contemptuously and said coldly: "Just by virtue of you, can you beat Jiannu?" Li Xingzhi, aren't you crazy, the year before last, Jiannu entered Kou Gyeonggi, and so many officers and soldiers in the imperial court are not their opponents, do you think you can deal with Jiannu with a few three melons and two dates? ”

Li Xingzhi replied lightly: "I haven't tried it, how can I know that I can't beat Jiannu?" Do we expect the officers and soldiers to protect us? ”

Zhang Shaoqian didn't know how to answer, when Chongzhen built a slave into Kou Jinggi in the ninth year, he fought with Jiannu a few times, what kind of virtue is the official army, Zhang Shaoqian knows much better than Li Xingzhi, but how can he be a dignified official of a hundred households and fall into the grass with Li Xingyi's sentence of killing Tartars.

At the moment, he laughed and said: "The official army can't beat Jiannu, but you Li Xingzhi can't even beat Huang Wenchang, how can you be Jiannu's opponent, if you don't use such indiscriminate means, I'm afraid it may not be my Zhang Shaoqian's opponent!" ”

Wang Zhong interjected: "Huang Wenchang's cowardly melon was beaten by Lao Tzu and fled, if it weren't for the unwillingness of our big boss to hurt more lives, I'm afraid Gaoyang City would have been broken by us." ”

Zhang Shaoqian still didn't believe it, turned his head, and ignored Li Xingzhi and others, his head could be broken and blood could be shed, but he surrendered to the thief, and he Zhang Shaoqian couldn't afford to lose this person.

Li Xingzhi said angrily: "Wang Zhong, you go and ask the villagers in the town to prepare a few big cars, let them help, first load all these drunk soldiers, and then take their families back to Lijiashan." ”

Li Xingzhi doesn't care whether Zhang Shaoqian agrees or not, as long as he enters Lijiashan, the matter of your Zhang Baihu falling into the grass and thieves is a sure thing, and if you don't fall into the grass, you will have to fall into the grass.

Zhang Shaoqian shouted angrily: "Li Xingzhi, you dare? ”

"Zhang Baihu, if you talk again, believe it or not, a certain family will pour you a few more sips of Donglu tribute wine." Li Xingzhi pouted and said.

Zhang Shaoqian stopped talking, now people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, I am tied by Li Xingzhi, and the family must have fallen into the hands of Li Xingzhi, if he annoys him, although he is not afraid, but what should I do with the family?

At this moment, Zhang Shaoqian was very entangled, as for Li Xingzhi said that he wanted to ask the people in the town to help, Zhang Shaoqian scoffed, he saved the people of Xin'an County the year before last, and after being transferred to Liu Lizhuang, he did not commit any crime against the local government, how could the people be willing to help the thieves transport the officers and soldiers.

Something unexpected happened to Zhang Shaoqian, when the people of Liu Lizhuang heard that the owner of Li Dazhai needed help, they actually flocked to it, and they didn't even need to do it under Li Xingzhi's hands, so they took the initiative to carry all the weapons of the official army and the hundred households onto the mule cart, and the family of the official army was also identified by them, and now they have been driven to the door of the lobby by the thieves.

Li Xingzhi smiled and made a circle salute to the people and said: "Li thank the villagers for their help, if there is a need in the future, you can go to Lijiashan, and a certain family will do its best to protect the safety of one party." ”

"Master Li Zhai, what did you say, you gave us rice grain, we can last until this summer's harvest, if it weren't for you, we Liu Lizhuang don't know how many new graves will be added this year."

The common people are like this, whoever can give them a way to live, they will believe whom, as for the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, they will not consider it at all.

Li Xingzhi also asked these people who provided the carts to follow the brigade back to the cottage, and promised to send each person three buckets of grain when they returned. As for the people who came to help, Li Xingzhi also gave each one or two pieces of silver.

There was silver and food, and the people were even more joyful, saluting Li Xingzhi one by one.

Li Xingzhi smiled and gave the military order to return to the army.

Zhang Shaoqian, who was tied to a war horse, saw the scene in front of him and mocked: "The people are the people, and this little favor can make them flock to it." ”

Li Xingzhi, who was dragging the reins of the horse on foot, turned his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Baihu, you are wrong, if the imperial court can let them have a full meal, will they still trust a thief like Li?" ”

Zhang Shaoqian saw that Li Xingzhi slandered the imperial court, where was he willing to speak, and when he turned around, he saw that the thieves under Li Xingzhi's hands were slowly advancing behind him in several queues, and even their pace was more neat than the officials and soldiers he had seen.

Some of the officers and soldiers in the carriage also woke up, you look at me, I look at you, and then see the ropes tied to the body, all of them are at a loss.
