CHAPTER XXI

In the winter of the first year of Baoyun, the Hu people invaded the south, and Li Jian, the Marquis of Zhenbei, escaped, resulting in the loss of 20,000 Yuyang troops in Gubei Pass, and the people of Yuyang were looted, and the court was furious, and the emperor Li Zhi personally issued an order to announce it to the world.

"Zhenbei Marquis Li Jian privately killed the imperial court and county guards, plotted to seize military power, and had the intention of rebellion, one of his crimes, in the face of the Hu people abandoned the pass and fled, resulting in the loss of the Yuyang elite, the people were slaughtered, ten rooms and nine empty, the protection of the country was not effective, the second of his crimes, his crimes are unforgivable, people and gods are angry, and now he is deprived of his position as a marquis, and the fief is recovered, and the whole country is wanted."

"His henchmen, the former guard general Huang Tong, fled to the capital and assisted Li Jian, who was regarded as an accomplice, and Zhang Feihu, Yulin, Bu Dali, and others privately transferred troops to secretly assist Li Jian, and were regarded as accomplices and wanted by the whole country.

In a big war of the southern invasion of the Hu people, with an edict pasted at the door of the vast majority of county government offices, Li Jian, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was completely nailed to the pillar of shame, and the world also boiled.

The county watchman of Upper Valley.

At this time, it had been a month since Li Jian and the others fled back to Shanggu, and Li Jian was indignant in his heart when he took the edict.

"Li Chengqian, you deceive people too much!" With Huang Tong recognizing Wen Buyu, combined with his previous speculation about the imperial court, how could Li Jian still not understand that at this moment, the capital has been controlled by Li Chengqian, and the three marquis of the Yang family are just a joke, and Li Chengqian is the real person in charge.

"It's not terrible to lose Yuyang, it's okay to take it back, but this paper edict will be troublesome, Jian'er has lost his prestige now, and it is too difficult to make a comeback." Shi Yukai said worriedly.

are speculating that Li Chengqian will take the Yang family first, but I didn't expect that Li Chengqian was the first to clean up Li Jian, Li Jian just abandoned the pass and fled this time, which made him lose his majesty in the hearts of the people of the world.

"Uncle, now that I have not only been defeated, I have lost Yuyang/Foundation, and I have become a wanted person, Li Chengqian sent Li Yong to be the Taishou of Yuyang, I am afraid that Shanggu will not be able to protect day and night, for today's plan, I can only train more troops and defend tightly, so as to wait for the opportunity." Li Jian regained his composure and analyzed.

"General Zhan, you have also seen the situation today, the reason why I didn't kill you is only because you are the old department of your father, brave and strong, and now in Li Chengqian's edict, you have been killed by me, even if I let you go, Li Chengqian will never let you live, what are your plans?" Li Jian looked at Zhan Lie and said.

"The last general knows that he has no choice, he is willing to serve the dogs and horses in front of the Hou Ye, if he is trusted by the Hou Ye, he will be loyal to assist and die until he dies!" Zhan Lie hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said solemnly.

Zhan Lie already knew the cause and effect, and originally admired Li Chengqian, but in order to get rid of Li Jian, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to collude with the Hu people and sacrifice the people of a county, which completely made Zhan Lie's heart cold.

"War General, please get up quickly." Li Jian hurriedly helped up the battle martyr, and then said: "Li Chengqian secretly poisoned me, harming the people of Yuyang, I and Li Chengqian's enmity is no longer in the sky, although this thief is my second uncle, but there is no benevolence at all, his mind is vicious, and he does not care about the means, if this person is allowed to steal the world, it will not be tolerated that day, I will set up a town into an army today, clear Xiaoxiao, and town me Dacheng!" ”

Li Jian looked around at everyone, and then said: "I am the commander of the Zhencheng army, Shi Yukai, Zhan Lie is the deputy commander, everyone here is a captain, I want to train 100,000 soldiers, and I hope you will help me in the future!" ”

Li Jian straightened his chest and clenched his fists, and his words were sincere, and all the generals got up and knelt down: "Knock to see the handsome!" ”

Zhenchengjun was established, although it was not announced to the public, but Li Jian already understood that Li Chengqian would not let go of himself, and for this occasion he had to recruit troops and buy horses, secretly hibernating, waiting to give Li Chengqian a fatal blow.

Li Jian is a strong soldier, aiming to seize power, so I won't show it for the time being, and let's take a look at what our Yu Xiaoyu is doing.

However, it was said that Yu Xiaoyu received Song Rentou's order, and inexplicably became a military marquis under Song Rentou, and he wanted to come to Woniu Mountain to collect troops on a single stick.

This Woniu Mountain is also called Funiu Mountain, is the branch vein of the Qinling Mountains, covers a wide area, there are many peaks and valleys, the terrain is rugged and complex, because it is close to Nanjun and Yingchuan, these two counties have a large population, and have been rich for a long time, so this Woniu Mountain is also entrenched in a large number of mountain bandits, both natural Hun people, there are desperate homeless people, and there are criminals wanted by the government, three religions and nine streams, all kinds of things.

Nanjun and Yingchuan County also sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but various reasons were staggered, and in the end it was over, and it also further fueled the arrogance of the bandits in Woniu Mountain.

Zhujia Village, at the foot of Woniu Mountain, is a small village at the foot of Woniu Mountain, with thirty or forty households.

At this time, Yu Xiaoyu was warming up in a private house, this year's weather was abnormal, heavy snow blocked the mountain for several days, coupled with recent experience, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help but be upset.

"Ahem, Master Yu, what do you think of the little brother's strategy?" At this time, a fat man with a white face and beard opposite Yu Xiaoyu said with a little flattery.

Yu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, thinking about himself, since he came to this Woniu Mountain, it has been two months, at the beginning he saw the mountain on the mountain, he saw the bandits, and he accepted it when he was convinced, and in just ten days, the reputation among the bandits in Woniu Mountain was spread, and there were more good things to make a limerick poem:

"There is a handsome young man, a single man with a single stick and no one to block, kill the evil bandits and collect good generals, and he will definitely replace the eighteen kings."

But within a few days, Yu Xiaoyu found that he still thought too simply, and received a lot of people, but this group of people had mixed combat effectiveness, and there were many hearts, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad for a while, and more importantly, he had no money to raise, and he had no place to practice.

At this time, the fat man in front of Yu Xiaoyu, surnamed Lai, called Lai Dongfang, known as Lao Lai, originally followed a group of bandits to fool around, but met Yu Xiaoyu, Lai Dongfang saw that Yu Xiaoyu was strong in martial arts, and even coaxed and deceived to persuade several people to take refuge in Yu Xiaoyu, and later Yu Xiaoyu disbanded everyone, but Lai Dongfang has been following Yu Xiaoyu to Zhujia Village.

Lai Dongfang followed Yu Xiaoyu and was not polite, he ate whatever Yu Xiaoyu ate, and wherever Yu Xiaoyu slept, he slept and got rid of the appearance of Lai.

"If you want to choose the third way, do you mean to follow me to fight the Yellow Dragon Cave?" Yu Xiaoyu looked at this dead fat man and rolled his eyes.

It turned out that Lai Dongfang saw Yu Xiaoyu's predicament and made an analysis for him, he saw that because Xiaoyu wanted to collect some bandits and form a force, he regarded himself as Yu Xiaoyu's master and published his job search confession.

"Yu Ye, if you want to form a force, that day, the location, people and indispensable, the time is not human, you have to see luck, this is not easy to say, but you have to have the location, the so-called location is first you have your own territory, this territory does not have to be big, but it must be suitable, both to train soldiers and horses and easy to defend and difficult to attack, one of them, the two and, the so-called people and not just to have people, first of all, you must have a strong man, of course, Yu Ye you are also very strong, but to have a strong subordinate, since ancient times to fight the country, then to be assisted by civil ministers and military generals, Wenchen, you don't have to look for it, I am the one sent by God to help you, you still have to gather a few strong men in terms of generals, this is called high-end combat effectiveness, people and people, you still have to have "and", and what is it, and is money and food, if you have no money, you can't eat enough, what should you do? ”

"To sum up, you just need to make money, people, and territory now!"

"The soldiers and horses haven't moved, the grain and grass go first, so you have to get money first, how to do it, I have a few ways here." When Lai Dongfang said this, he thought that Yu Xiaoyu could interject and ask, but Yu Xiaoyu didn't raise his eyelids, so he had to talk to himself in embarrassment;

"Ahem, this first road is the easiest, the two nearest counties in Woniu Mountain, one in the inner township, one in the town, there are many large landlords, with the skills of the master, find a few helpers, and make some silver easily."

"This second road is not difficult, forty miles west of Woniu Mountain, there is an official road, there are many passing merchants to transport money and goods to the capital, as long as you don't mess with the silver car of the official government, Yu Ye can also be used as a money-making business in the future."

"The third road, it's a bit difficult, but once and for all, there is a thirty miles to the north of Zhujia Village, where there is a big karst cave on the mountain, called the Yellow Dragon Cave, which is one of the eighteen kings of Woniu Mountain, the Yellow Dragon Cave Master, Yu Ye might as well find a few helpers, occupy this Yellow Dragon Cave, and it can be regarded as having a foundation."

These are the three paths that Lai Dongfang pointed out to Yu Xiaoyu.

Hearing that Yu Xiaoyu asked him to follow him to fight the Yellow Dragon Cave, Lai Dongfang shrunk his neck, and said righteously: "Yu Ye, there is a specialization in this art industry, and the fortune teller said that I am the reincarnation of Tianji Xing, and in this life, I should be ordered to go down to earth, and I should have the merit of auxiliary nobles, but I must not go into battle to kill in person, so I have only learned strategy since I was a child, not martial arts, I want to go with you, isn't it just to hold you back." ”

Yu Xiaoyu listened to this guy's words, and almost laughed, this fat man looks like he is in his early thirties, he can pretend to be obscene, he can pretend to be a master, this is also a talent.
