Chapter 21: On the Way
"Pavilion Chief, I've heard about your sword killing the Yellow Turban Leader!
Now, the entire county seat of Mu County is rumored!
I'm afraid that it won't be long before it spreads to the county. ”
Wu Meng took the initiative to talk about Liu Qi's killing of thieves that night, knowing that Wu Meng wanted to hear him talk about it in person.
Liu Qi did not show off, and stated the matter lightly, and then sighed: "In this battle, although I have killed a lot of thieves, and I have been with businessmen and passers-by, there are as many as 100 people, but more than a dozen heroes in my Du Township are buried here forever.
If there is a reward in the county, I have discussed it with Li Tingchang and others, and I will divide half of our reward and property to the families of these fallen soldiers.
But there are women, children, old and young, and they will do their best to help! ”
Liu Qizhi's decision cannot be described as unkind.
Like this group of recruited soldiers, who died on the way or on the battlefield, they only had a little money and some tax reductions, so how could they get the government's pension.
The only person who can really be a pensioner is the home of the general.
Whoever makes this troubled world, the most worthless thing is human life.
Sure enough, the arrangement mentioned by Liu Qi was not only when he proposed it on the way, everyone was surprised, Wu Meng heard it, and also praised: "Like me, we are a dead wood in the world, and if we die, we are dead." But the pavilion chief can bury the dead wood after death, so as not to be ravaged by wind and rain, which is the great benevolence and righteousness.
Du Xiangzhong, who is not grateful? Who wouldn't want to die for this? ”
Liu Qi didn't expect that Wu Meng, a reckless man, really had a set of reasoning.
And Wu Meng is also telling the truth, what he does like this also has the effect of winning people's hearts, but it is not exactly like this.
"Wu Jun, there is one more thing to ask for in the future, that is, when Wu Jun completes the county arrangements and returns from Bo County to Gai County, can you send these relics of the township party and letters back first!"
In the camp, Liu Qi pointed to dozens of bamboo slips on the side of the small case, most of which contained the family book recorded by Fang Zhen and others on the way to the road, as well as the suicide note of the fallen soldiers.
In addition, it naturally includes Liu Qiyu's younger siblings, as well as the letters of Ma Fu who recommended him.
Looking at Liu Qi's face, seeing his solemn expression, Wu Meng responded: "The pavilion chief has a life, and he will do his best!" It's just that to Bo County, once separated, it is far away from his hometown, the pavilion chief and the people, pay attention to safety! As for the affairs in the house, please rest assured, when Mengdan returns, he will take care of one or two! ”
In the past few days, Liu Qi has admired one thing for a long time, otherwise, he would not have been often promoted in front of his uncle Wang An.
And Wu Meng has a feeling that this time apart, when they meet next time, Liu Qiqi will inevitably impress him and all his acquaintances.
Think about it, how long has it been since he left Qingshui Pavilion, and Liu Qi at the age of sixteen, not only won the hearts of everyone in Du Township, but also Li Zhan and others, and also obeyed his words. In the battle the day before yesterday, he even killed the leader of the Yellow Turban Army...... Thanks to this merit, when you return to your hometown in the future, will you still be limited to the small Qingshui Pavilion Pavilion?
Wu Meng is bold, but he is by no means a barbaric and unreasonable martial artist, he recalled at this time, and had to sigh that Ma Gong in the countryside is so knowledgeable.
As for returning to his hometown to help the Liu family, it was really a gesture.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the meeting, the two briefly talked about the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County.
Most of these Yellow Turban troops were scattered from Dongjun and other places, and it was difficult to become imposing, even within the county government, people had been organized and prepared to be pacified.
The villagers like Liu Qi who were originally recruited, who was urged by the imperial court, so after Liu Qi's group of townsmen stepped on the front line, they would recruit troops again.
Regardless of whether it is the imperial court or the county, there is no worry about not being able to recruit manpower.
Nowadays, in today's disasters and man-made disasters, as long as you can give some food and pay some taxes, there will always be people who can't survive, and those who compete will apply.
In fact, whether it is recruiting troops or losing food and grass on the way, the cost of this will eventually fall on the heads of tens of thousands of ordinary people.
When the taxes are too heavy, coupled with the excessive power of the local assassins and county guards, there will be separatism and oppression, and the people will choose to rebel when they have no way out.
In the long run, the central court of the Han Dynasty has fallen into a vicious circle.
As long as you are a smart person, you smell a different smell.
Most of those who were able to gain a foothold in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and gain political assets became the princes of the later decades.
After sending Wu Meng away, Liu Qi stood outside the camp tent alone, staring at the bright starry sky for a long time.
The Milky Way is so big that it stretches as far as the eye can see.
I don't know how many years ago I saw the starlight that came from the depths of the distant starry sky.
Then, what he Liu Qi did in this era, he did his best to restore the Han Dynasty, and whether that kind of light could shine a thousand years later.
A gentleman has something to do and something not to do.
Gou Quan's life is in troubled times, he is willing to choose and make a difference.
Passing through Mu County, and going to Zhibo County, the road is smooth all the way, and the journey is smooth.
Liu Qi was not in a good mood.
The accompanying Duxiang Township suffered a stroke, but two more people died. Huang San seems to be a miracle, perhaps because of his faith and good physical fitness, he finally survived.
In the eyes of everyone, looking at Huang San's eyes, it was more and more admiration.
For several days, after being able to walk on the ground, Huang San would go to Liu Qi's side every day to thank him.
During this day, Zhuge Jin, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Huang San coming: "This is the person who saved Liu Jun?" May I take a look at the wound? ”
Not only Zhuge Jin was curious, how did Liu Qi sew the torn belly with his own hands, and then the person jumped around, countless people who heard about it and did not see it with their own eyes were like taking a closer look, including Zhuge Jin's two curious sisters.
Huang San was not surprised by this, and there were even acquaintances who wanted to touch it.
That's why Dafang uncovered his clothes, pointed to the wound that was nearly palm-long, had already subsided and began to heal, and said: "This is exactly what our pavilion chief sewed, and now it is a little itchy, and it should be healed soon." I can't say that our pavilion is valued by Emperor Taizu, and it is a wonderful rejuvenation!
Otherwise, whoever stitches it up like this, it's no wonder that I, Huang San, can survive! ”
Liu Qi cried and laughed: "That's San Lang, you are in good health, you resisted!" Also, to survive, I just did what I had to do. People often say: If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing.
You don't need to thank me like this, you really have to thank me well, you have to wait for a hundred years to be in good health, make up for these hours of training on the way, and survive on the battlefield! ”
Liu Qi's language is simple, and he has no merit, he is lenient and generous, and in his words and deeds, he has left a deep and good impression on Zhuge Jin.
Two days later, the brigade finally arrived at the county of Zhibo, where the village guards sent by the counties had already gathered, and after the arrival of the grain and grass, they were ordered by the county government to rush to various battlefields in advance.
Because Taishan County is behind Yanzhou, and Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Hebei and Jingzhou, it has also become the focus of the imperial court's recruitment of troops on various battlefields.
It is very common for a township soldier in one of the counties to be divided into different battlefields.
After Liu Qi led his troops to Bo County, he was clearly distinguished from Zhuge Jin, and as for the women and children of the Zhuge family, he had rarely seen them since that day.
