Volume 1 Beacon Fire in the Troubled Times Section 57 Revisiting the Old Place
Luo Yu guessed correctly, it was indeed the news of Yang Xuanwu in Chang'an, but this news made Luo Yu a little unable to understand Yang Xuanwu.
It turned out that after Yang Xuanwu got the news that his brother Yang Xuangan was poisoned in Luoyang, he lost his mind, and despite the opposition of his subordinates, he actually organized seven or eight thousand ruffians in Chang'an City, and rushed to Tongguan Wharf on the afternoon of June 18 under the banner of avenging his eldest brother.
Seventy or eighty fishing boats were then forcibly requisitioned, and they went down the Yellow River to Luoyang.
In fact, the seven or eight thousand people he brought were all small gangsters who couldn't get along in Chang'an, and the various gate valve families didn't have much power in Chang'an City now, so Yang Xuanwu was powerful for a while.
Luo Yu already knew their fate in advance, and in front of Cheng Biting Jin, this rabble was like a chicken, a dog, and they didn't know how they died.
No matter when there is such a power villain, Yang Xuanwu was attached to his wings when he was in power, offending many people left behind by the big families in Chang'an City, and now Yang Xuanwu wants to leave, in order not to be retaliated, leaving with Yang Xuanwu has become the only choice.
Chang He seems to have found the young Yang Yu, but no one knows if it is true, this should also be Li Yuan's arrangement, it seems that the day when Li Yuan will attack Chang'an is not far off.
After reading the letter, Luo Yu said to Lu Xiao: "These news will be sent directly to Taiyuan in the future, and you should not intercept it anymore, since you have promised Tang Gong to relieve the army and return to the south, you must do it." ”
Lu Xiao promised, but still said: "Instructor, the student has one more thing to ask." ”
Luo Yu said: "Do you want to ask which way we go south to Jiandong?" I can only tell you to go to Yuncheng first. ”
Lu Xiaodao: "Instructor, if we don't intercept the information anymore, after crossing the Yellow River in the south of Yuncheng, the situation in the entire Henan will be unknown, and according to the current situation, the students are really not at ease." ”
Luo Yu thought about it and felt that Lu Xiao was reasonable, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have made great progress, so let's do it, before you arrive at the destination, you will intercept the information from Henan, and then send it to Taiyuan after leaving the bottom, and then work out the route according to the situation, and the general and I will not participate." ”
Lu Xiao was puzzled: "The student doesn't dare, in case you and the general have a slight difference, there will be no redemption." ”
Luo Yu smiled: "I believe in you, okay, discuss it with them, there are still two or three days from here to Yuncheng, how about practicing your hands first?" ”
Lu Xiao saw that Luo Yu was sincere, saluted and promised, and turned to discuss with Zhang Yang.
Luo Yu returned to the back room, Yang Man and the three had already left, Li Xiuning was leaning on the side of the bed lazily drinking iced tea, and the porcelain cup collided with the ice cubes to make a crisp "clanging" sound.
Luo Yu felt that her movements were strange, and suddenly remembered that the crystal should be able to make two or three crystal cups after removing the excess material from the telescope lens, and it will depend on the situation when the time comes.
That night, they went to bed peacefully, and Li Xiuning also knew that the next step was to rush tirelessly and need to maintain his strength, so he relied on Luo Yu to fall asleep quietly.
Three days later, at the end of the unitary hour, Yuncheng was in sight, Li Xiaogong personally went out of the city to greet him, and came to the general's mansion, which was another lively reception.
After the banquet dispersed, Li Xiuning left with Yang Man, who had been busy on the road for the past few days, so he really had to take a good rest.
In the living room, Luo Yu took a sip of tea and asked, "Uncle, today is twenty-six, and you haven't received the order from Tang Gong Nandu?" ”
Li Xiaogong said: "There is no military order to arrive, but there is news in the direction of Luoyang, on the 20th, Yang Xuanwu went down the river to the northern suburbs of Luoyang, was ambushed by Cheng Yanjin, still three or four thousand corpses, fled by boat, I heard that he was looking for Zhang Xutuo. ”
Luo Yu said strangely: "How could Zhang Xutuo take them in?" What does Yang Xuanwu think? ”
Li Xiaogong said: "Yang Xuanwu is now like a lost dog, sooner or later he will die without a place to be buried, but Xiangyang Du Fuwei has grown stronger unconsciously, and on the 21st, he attacked Nanyang in the north, beating Wang Bodang to the ground, and had to abandon the city and flee eastward. ”
Luo Yu said: "This is not unusual, just a person like Wang Bodang, treacherous, can be ruthless to his brother-in-law Dou Jiande, and he has fallen to such a point, he can only say that he has suffered by himself." ”
After a pause, he continued: "As for Du Fuwei, I am not very optimistic, the Xiangyang and Nanyang that he canceled are both places of the four wars, and there is not much room for development. ”
Li Xiaogong said again: "Suizhou Auxiliary Gongfu and Jingzhou Li Zitong have all raised troops, these three people are righteous brothers, if they are united, it is also a big force." ”
Luo Yu didn't expect the situation to develop so fast now, he didn't read the intelligence of the special team for only three days, and the situation in Hubei turned upside down, and there were still so many rebel armies in various places that had not emerged, in the face of this situation, how would Li Yuan and his son arrange their troops?
Forget it, now is not the time to think about this, the Li family's father and son are not muddy, Fang Mou Du has not yet made a move, if you want to talk about military strategy, what level you are, you still have self-knowledge.
After talking to Li Xiaogong for another conversation, he said goodbye and left, and he will cross the Yellow River south tomorrow and rest early.
Came to Changle again, the newly built wharf for carrying weapons at the beginning of the year has long since ceased to exist, and the large lawn when the army was stationed at the beginning is now covered with wooden houses, which should be the residence of the craftsmen who built ships here under the orders of Li Yuan.
When they arrived early, there were still few people on the dock, and a young man who looked like a lieutenant came from a wooden house near the river, and Zhang Yang gave him Li Xiaogong's order to transfer the boat.
After inspecting it, the lieutenant pulled a small boat out of the dock on the shore, handed it to Zhang Yang, and retreated.
After the nine people led the horses and fish onto the boat, Cheng Xiao and Liu Hao adjusted the bow of the boat and sailed to the south shore with the wind power.
At this time, the Yellow River is the dry season, the water surface of more than 40 zhang wide is only half the width of the usual, and the water flow is also slow, which is a good time to cross the river.
Only a pillar of incense was successfully docked, everyone got off the boat, Zhang Yang tied the boat to the shore, and someone would come to collect it later, so there was no need to worry about losing it.
Luo Yu on the south bank has never been here, but Lu Xiao and the others have already formulated a route to the south, just follow them.
The further south you go, the hotter it gets, there are almost a thousand miles on this road, there are more mountains in the first half of the way, and you will naturally walk slowly, Luo Yu estimates that according to a hundred miles a day, it will take ten days.
Shangluo and Ankang had not yet been affected by the war, and the route they had drawn up was very safe, until the ninth day, when they were about to reach Wanyuan, they encountered a team of more than 200 people.
The squad wore unseen uniforms, colorful, without helmets, with hair draped over their shoulders and spears in their hands, not like Han troops.
There were no team members here, and Zhang Yang didn't know what the situation was, so he had to avoid them, find a place to rest in the mountains, and then go to find out the news.
This place is only ten miles away from the place where he was captured, Luo Yu didn't want to look for trouble, he just wanted to look in the wooden house to see if he could meet the old man who saved him or his message.
Then go to the periphery of the forest to find a suitable place to settle down, and talk about it after this year.
Since I left for this time, I have dreamed of the wooden house and the old man from time to time, and I hope to see him this time, otherwise I don't know how to repay the life-saving grace.
Fortunately, the team entered the mountain after a few turns, disappeared, and Zhang Yang and Zhou Ye only went for a while before they got out of the weeds next to them.
It turned out that there were also people here who raised troops, and the leader was called Meng Haigong, Luo Yu racked his brains to remember, this person was also one of the thirty-six anti-kings and seventy-two dust, but he didn't expect him to appear here.
Along the way, the things brought by the horses were almost consumed, Luo Yu wanted to give up the horses and walk over, how could ten miles and an hour be enough, and the horses followed the movement a little big.
After obtaining the consent of the people, he took down the portable tent and weapons, took the reins of the saddle, hid them in a cave, and found a spacious place where the horses could graze freely.
Find the right direction, take the lead, and walk in the direction of the wooden house.
It is difficult for Luo Yu to explain this feeling clearly, saying that he is close to his hometown, and this is not his hometown, saying that his relatives are near, and there are no relatives here.
The old man is the first person he saw when he came to this world, although he didn't spend much time together, but the grace of saving his life can never be forgotten, and he may have been regarded as the first relative in this world in his heart.
I don't know if he saw the words left for him, after the battle between Li Xiuning and Jieli, he didn't see Luo Yu when he came back, maybe he thought that Luo Yu was no longer alive.
The cabin still stands quietly on the hillside, the door is closed, the camphor tree where Luo Yu subdued the black-clothed assassin is even more lush, the sun can't shine in, the battlefield under the hillside is no longer the tragedy of the time, nature has long been repaired.
Li Xiuning looked at the camphor tree and said to Luo Yu: "You saved me there at that time, if it weren't for you, I would have died on the battlefield a long time ago." ”
Luo Yu said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, I haven't found out who the arrow is aimed at, Uncle Niu, but I want to thank this big tree, otherwise how could I marry you." ”
Li Xiuning blushed in the light laughter of everyone, and walked quickly to the cabin, Yang Man followed her, this little girl was very well-behaved all the way, followed everyone over the mountains and mountains, did not cry out bitterly, did not shout tired, but made Luo Yu and them a little impressed.
Luo Yu chased after him, and the group came to the door of the wooden house, and listened for a while, there was no movement inside, there should be no one.
It was noon, there were no trees in front of the wooden house, the sun was shining on the slope, it was very hot, the mountain breeze was blowing slowly, and the leaves were gently swaying, this scene was very different from last year.
Luo Yu gently pushed open the door, the furnishings inside did not change, the bright light came through the window, shining on the wooden bed, which was still the same quilt as before, spread there at will.
The oil lamp on the table was still there, the two benches were placed together, the water tank and the clay pot behind the bed were there, Luo Yu seemed to see the kind old man simmering taro there, and in a blink of an eye he sat on the table and ate instant noodles with instant noodles......
Bit by bit, Luo Yu's eyes gradually moistened, if he hadn't met the old man, he might have died in a foreign country, how could he still have today's scenery?
Suddenly remembering the wooden board with the words, Luo Yu hurriedly walked in, came to the head of the bed, lifted the quilt, and laid a layer of wheat stalks underneath.
I took a look at the place where I put the plank when I left, and it was okay, the plank was still there.
Stretched out his hand to take it, turned it over with an uneasy heart, glanced at it, and couldn't help but cry.
Li Xiuning didn't follow up, and they wouldn't come in, and they didn't know what the situation was here, and they needed to be vigilant.
Seeing Luo Yu crying excitedly, Li Xiuning stepped to his side, stretched out her hands and hugged Luo Yu tightly, she could only comfort Luo Yu in this way.
Fortunately, the words on the wooden board have changed, it is the old man's handwriting, although it is not as sloppy as before, but Luo Yu can recognize it at a glance This is the old man's handwriting.
It reads: There are more than eight months of separation, and the old man often comes to this news, but when he doesn't see each other, beg God to bless him, and the little brother can turn evil into good fortune and get out of the sea of suffering.
The font is smaller, and there is a picture drawn under the wooden board, which is supposed to be the route to their village.
He wrote above for more than eight months, proving that these words were written last month, the old man is still there, the sky pays off, after all, there is still a way to repay the favor.
Luo Yu stabilized his mood, went out of the wooden house with Li Xiuning, called Zhang Yang, handed him the plank, and said: "You find the location of the cottage according to the map, come and report quickly, remember, don't alarm them." ”
Zhang Yang took the order, called Cheng Xiao and Liu Hao, and took the wooden wrench to find the way.
Li Xiuning is also happy for Luo Yu, she heard Luo Yu talk about the origin of this wooden house, since she has found the person who saved him, she will repay it well.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the bottom of the hillside, Jieli's hateful face appeared there again, he was very unconvinced, but his helpless eyes made Li Xiuning happy, and when he revisited the old place, he thought about the past, whether it was good or bad, he could always gain something.
At this moment, a feather arrow broke through the air under the hillside, and it was about to hit Li Xiuning, Luo Yu was behind her, and the other three team members were far away, and it was too late to rescue them.
Is it impossible for Li Xiuning to come here? Luo Yu happened to save her life last time, what about this time?
