Yi Xiaodao was depressed, he had been walking for more than 20 days, experiencing a heavy snowstorm, and he didn't know where he had gone at this time, and even the bandits who were indigenous to Donglu behind him were lost.

More depressed than Yi Xiaodao were Fan Jun, Ghost Dao Liu, the One-Eyed Snake and the nearly 10,000 bandits behind him. I thought that following Yi Xiaodao, a court official, would be able to eat and drink spicy food, and no matter how bad it was, he wouldn't go hungry. But the fact is that they have been hungry for six or seven days, and their eyes are green, and wherever they pass, there are no rats, rabbits, and other living creatures that hide in their holes, and they sacrifice all their internal organs.

"Was it a little hasty for us to join him in the first place?" Ghost Knife Liu whispered to the two people beside him.

"If you go now... It's still too late. The one-eyed snake replied weakly.

Fan Jun didn't answer, he was already so hungry that he didn't have the strength to speak, he only knew that he was walking in the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Stop! What people! A team of people came in front, armed with steel spears and long knives, and stopped in front of Yi Xiaodao and the others. They also saw nearly 10,000 bandits behind them, not that they were bold, but these people really looked like refugees.

Yi Xiaodao glanced up weakly: "It turned out to be the Yulin Army... May I ask this military master, do you know... Well? Feather Forest Army! Yi Xiaodao reacted for a long time.

"Me! It's me! Easy knife! Where is General Wei Youming? Yi Xiaodao pulled away the two strands of hair in front of him, revealing his face, and his joy was beyond words.

"Lord Yi? How did you become like this? General Wei is in the big tent, what are these? The leader of the Yulin Army led by him hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to support Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao couldn't wait: "These are the gangs I recruited on the road, if they are not in the way, take me to see Wei Youming!" ”

The leader glanced back, what kind of gang is this? This appearance is no different from Chu Xiang's beggars... But he didn't dare to slack off when Yi Xiaodao said it, and hurriedly helped Yi Xiaodao to get on his horse and returned with Yi Xiaodao.

"It's... And that left us behind? Ghost Knife Liu was stunned.

Xue Mang found a big stone and sat on it: "Master Yi is not that kind of person, let's rest for a while, and then talk about it." ”

In front of the marshal tent in the barracks, Yi Xiaodao looked at the familiar handsome tent, almost cried bitterly, stepped forward to lift the curtain, and got in: "General Wei, don't come unharmed!" ”

As soon as Yi Xiaodao finished speaking, he was taken aback, Wei Youming, how can this be unharmed, this is simply too much change, and I can't recognize this person as Wei Youming at all.

I saw Wei Youming's hair messy, his eyes were bloodshot, his beard was messy, and he was sitting in front of the handsome case in a daze.

"General Wei... What are you? Yi Xiaodao was startled, how did Wei Youming, who was still radiant before, become like this.

Wei Youming raised his head, looked at Yi Xiaodao, and was stunned for a while, then he pounced and hugged Yi Xiaodao's thigh: "Lord Yi!" You're back! I can't help it if you don't come back! ”

"Don't worry, what's wrong? You get me something to eat first, I'm dying of hunger. Yi Xiaodao was dizzy with hunger, and after struggling for a while, he lost his strength and fell to the ground.

Wei Youming saw that Yi Xiaodao was weak like this, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up and prepared to give orders, Yi Xiaodao said lightly: "Outside... And nearly 10,000 horses... Get some for them too..."

Wei Youming was struck by lightning and stayed on the spot.

"What's wrong? Let's go. Yi Xiaodao urged.

Wei Youming turned around and said, "Lord Yi... In the military... Nowadays there are... 20,000 horses, only ten days of food... If you add 10,000 people, you can only eat for seven days! 10,000 people! Master Yi, where did you get another 10,000 horses! ”

Yi Xiaodao smiled bitterly: "Explain... It's troublesome, I ate this meal first... Let's find another way. ”

Wei Youming wanted to ask again, but seeing that Yi Xiaodao was really hungry, he had no choice but to make arrangements.

When the steaming white steamed buns and hot porridge were delivered to Fan Jun and other bandits, a dozen or so bandits ate too quickly and were almost choked to death.

Yi Xiaodao wanted to open the meat well, but Wei Youming also only brought him a bowl of gruel and a white-flour steamed bun: "Master Yi, drink porridge while eating steamed buns, you can't eat it when you're full, otherwise it will be broken." ”

Yi Xiaodao has been begging for many years, and he also knows that what Wei Youming said is the truth, there is no way, so he got up first with a mouthful of steamed buns and porridge, and told Wei Youming about this trip to the Japanese city.

"The Dongwai people? This is no small matter! It needs to be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible! "As a general, Wei Youming has a very keen sense of danger, and he has not seen the Dongwei people for more than 600 years, and now he suddenly appears, I am afraid that the person who comes is not good.

Yi Xiaodao dissuaded: "What can you do if you play Your Majesty?" The imperial court military horses are now confronting Chu Xiang, how can they free their hands? Yi Xiaodao concealed the news that Chen Youcai had revealed that 50,000 troops would kill the Central Plains a month later. Fifty thousand people say that it is not much, but it is not a lot less, if it is not for the confrontation between the imperial court and Chu Xiang now, and the fifty thousand Dongwei people, the imperial court really does not pay attention to it.

"That's... What does Yi mean for the time being? Wei Youming asked tentatively.

Yi Xiaodao finished eating all the steamed porridge, felt it, was just right, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't care, I haven't thought of a way yet, tell me what's going on with you?" When I left, the Yulin Army and the Nanhuai soldiers were only 10,000, where did you come from 10,000? ”

Wei Youming's expression was complicated, and he sighed: "Alas, it's not all good things that Han Shi's kid did. ”

It turned out that after Yi Xiaodao left, Han Shi took Wei Youming to run around, climbing mountains and forests. To say that Han Shi is also a talent, there are acquaintances among the bandits, ringing horses, and gangs along the way. Bandits from all walks of life, under his persuasion and deterrence by force, joined the army one after another, whether voluntarily or forced. When the gangsters who were farther away heard the news, they also heard the news, and in this way, the three hundred people who had originally made an appointment with Yi Xiaodao became more than 10,000 people. Han Shi seemed to be tired of this, and he had been shouting to save his cousin before, and he didn't mention it again in the past two days, just focusing on accepting people.

"This can't be done, there are more than 10,000 people on my side, if it weren't for my master's sword deterrence, there would have been chaos a long time ago, how dare you stuff so many unknown people into the barracks?" Yi Xiaodao was very worried.

Wei Youming said with a bitter face: "Didn't you say Master Yi said that you want to expand the team?" This kid doesn't care about it, he takes it all the people, and goes around with a large army, and even I don't know where it is now. The New Year is approaching again, the Yulin Army is fine, the Nanhuai soldiers are quite complaining, everyone is clamoring to return to their hometown for the New Year, and the military food is... Alas. Wei Youming sighed deeply, and could see that this period of time was very difficult.

"Go, call Han Shi, I want to talk to him." Yi Xiaodao felt wrong in his heart, looking at Wei Youming's appearance, he was afraid that he had been used as a gun, and now it was likely that he had already arrived near Qucheng.

Wei Youming quickly called Han Shi over, the black man is still this black man, and he is much stronger than a month ago. Although he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking near Lincheng, in the final analysis, he still didn't have the food of the imperial court.

"Han Shi, you are so bold that you actually brought us to Qucheng?" Yi Xiaodao decided to strike first, if he asked him where this was, he would specify that he would casually recite a place name, and then he would have to follow him with his eyes closed.

When Han Shi saw Yi Xiaodao, he felt a little timid in his heart, this person was no better than Wei Youming's stupid big man.

"I'll take General Wei to Jicheng! Isn't it snowy and the road is not easy to walk? The road in Qucheng is easy to walk, and it must be passed! Han Shi said.

Yi Xiaodao grabbed the sword on the handsome case, pulled out half of it, rubbed the blade of the sword and said: "Alas, the snow in Donglu is really big, and the soldiers in Jicheng can't stand the cold, and it looks like it's going to be the New Year again, or let's go back first, so that the soldiers can spend the New Year with peace of mind." ”

"How's that going to work? Yi adult, this... The people of Donglu are in danger, they are halfway through, but they can't turn back! Han Shi was in a hurry.

Yi Xiaodao pulled out all the swords and pointed at Han Shi: "Don't tell the truth yet!" What is the purpose of bringing us to Qucheng! ”

Han Shi saw Yi Xiaodao facing each other, sighed and said, "Why did Lord Yi ask knowingly? Didn't I just want to save my cousin? It's been almost half a year, I don't know if I'm alive or dead, my uncle is angry because of this, and my aunt is so angry that she can't get out of bed... Master Yi, as long as you save my cousin, my life will be yours! Be a cow or a horse, do anything! Han Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"You and him are just cousins, how can you be so concerned?" Yi Xiaodao stared at Han Shi: "Is there any other purpose?" I'm afraid I don't have some grudges with Qucheng, right? ”

Han Shi shook his head again and again: "My family is poor, my uncle and aunt take care of my family, then Qin Liang also grew up with me, if I don't save it, am I still human?" ”

"That's all?"

"Half a lie, Grandma Taishan doesn't take care of the villain!" Han Shi puffed up his chest and said with a solemn face.

Yi Xiaodao put the sword back into the sheath, 'Grandma Taishan' is extremely heavy on the Donglu people, and she dares to swear by this, I'm afraid it's true.

"You are a patchwork of so many people in the barracks, sooner or later there will be chaos, and you won't be able to keep so many." Yi Xiaodao said coldly.

"Lord Yi. They are all brothers on the road, and they are all bitter people who have no food to eat haha, this cold winter and wax moon, if they don't take them in, they will have no way to live, adults must be gracious! Han Shi knelt on the ground again and kowtowed, "They just want a full bite of food, the villain must restrain them, must restrain them!" ”

Yi Xiaodao looked at Han Shiqing's sincere appearance, and was a little soft-hearted, and said, "Get up." ”

"Your Excellency!" Wei Youming was anxious on the side.

Yi Xiaodao glanced at him, choked back the words that came to his mouth, and then asked, "How far is this place from Qucheng?" ”

"Don't hide it, my lord, it's already here, and it's more than ten miles ahead!" Han Shi raised his head happily.
