Chapter 208: Bandit Attack (7)
"Now that you have an idea, do it, and be careful on the road."
Li Xun instructed.
Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "I asked General Zheng Chun to lead thirty soldiers to escort it, and it will be fine." ”
Fan Zhongyun once tactfully told Li Xun that this time to go to Wuzhou, it is best to travel lightly and simply, not to bring so many people with him, at that time, Li Xun did not understand the hidden meaning of Fan Zhongyun's words, just thinking that Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and others are talents, and the relationship with them is good, and taking them with them can save a lot of trouble.
The defenders of Wuzhou, many of them are Huang Zhen's old subordinates, now Huang Zhen has an accident and his official position has been dismissed, his old subordinates must be panicked, he is now about to take office, and he has hundreds of people around him, Zhao Wei, Shan Qiu, Zheng Chun and others are all generals, this will give the generals of the Wuzhou garrison an illusion, Huang Xu's accident, or implicated them, Li Xun brought so many people to come, is to prepare to seize military power, or directly carry out a big purge, this is also the norm, one side of the festival to make the defeat of the war, It is impossible for all of his men to be killed, and purges are inevitable.
Fan Zhongyun went to Wuzhou first.
Two hours later, Lei Wanhai found Li Xun.
Li Xun asked, "How is it, has he recruited it?" ”
"He doesn't know anything."
Lei Wanhai shook his head, and then asked, "General, what should I do with this person?" ”
Li Xun thought for a while and said, "Leave it to the local government to deal with, you go and inform the brothers and continue on your way." ”
Li Xun didn't care about the life or death of this person, but there was no need to kill him directly, intending to assassinate an important general of the imperial court, which was a serious crime, and when he arrived at the official mansion, it was also a dead end.
Everyone prepared to leave, and only Li Xun and Ouyang Li were left in the room.
Li Xun looked at Ouyang Li and said, "Ouyang Li, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Ouyang Li shook his head and said a little dazedly: "I don't know either." ”
Ouyang Li really didn't know where to go, after his mother died, he no longer had any relatives and became a real loner.
Li Xun thought of the Beijiang Society, Ouyang Li betrayed them, and this organization was afraid that it would retaliate.
"I'm afraid the Beijiang Society won't let you go."
Ouyang Li smiled and said indifferently: "If I am afraid of death, I will not help you." ”
Li Xun nodded heavily, from this sentence, he probably saw clearly that Ouyang Li was a person, valuing love and righteousness, back then, he was just a gesture of effort, and he did it at will, but in exchange for this person's spring.
"Ouyang Li, come with me to Longyou, you are strong in martial arts, and you should be useful in the army."
Ouyang Li was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Engong, I am a fugitive, if you take me in, I am afraid that it will cause trouble, and... Although I have some martial arts, I don't know the art of martial arts, so it's actually of no use to you. ”
Li Xun patted Ouyang Li's shoulder and laughed: "Between people, in addition to interests, there are feelings, and the trouble is not a disaster, that is a matter of the future, the former is afraid of the wolf and the tiger, nothing can be done, you don't know martial arts, just be a guard by my side, it can be regarded as a way to enter the body, maybe you can also be an official in the future, the glory lintel, if your parents are under the Jiuquan, they will be very comforted to see that you can have that day." ”
Ouyang Li's eyes showed excitement, Li Xun was able to say this, which was enough to prove that he did not look down on himself, but spoke sincerely, and... Because he helped Li Xun and betrayed the Beijiang Society, the Beijiang Society would never let him go, if the two were separated, Ouyang Li didn't know how long he could live.
"Engong will not give up, Ouyang Li should serve his life."
Ouyang Li knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said loudly: "Ouyang Li to see the lord." ”
Li Xun was stunned, and hurriedly helped Ouyang Li up, and said, "You can just call me by my name, don't be so polite." ”
Ouyang Li shook his head, and said with a straight face: "I gave money to bury my mother before, and now I don't give up and take it in, although I, Ouyang Li, am not a big husband, but I am by no means an ungrateful person, it is reasonable to recognize you as the master." ”
Li Xun persuaded him, but Ouyang Li was resolute and didn't give in a step, there was no way, Li Xun had to give up.
Ouyang Li said at this time: "My lord, although I don't know much about the affairs of the Beijiang Society, but this organization has always done extreme things, and it will be reported if you take it in, and if the lord takes me in, I am afraid that it will provoke the Beijiang Society to retaliate together." ”
Li Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, you didn't say it just now, but now it's useless to say it.
"In Wuzhou, except for the emperor, no one wants to touch a single hair of my hair." Li Xun is not too worried, he has become the governor of Wuzhou, with tens of thousands of soldiers, a group of guards around him, and a mere Jianghu organization, what else can he do with himself?
When they were ready, the group continued on their way.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Li Xun and others have traveled all the way, and at night, they camped in the wilderness, ran out of food, passed by the city, and sent people to buy it, but the large army did not enter the city, not because they didn't want to, but they couldn't, without the court's ultimatum, an army of more than 100 people could not enter the city casually.
In the seventh year of Chengping, the first day of February.
Li Xun and others finally got out of Huizhou, Huizhou can be regarded as a critical point, within Huizhou, it is considered the Central Plains, with a large population, a little city, and the prosperity is still the same, after leaving Huizhou, it is an endless plain, the population begins to become very sparse, sometimes walking for half a day, you can't see anyone, let alone a decent town.
When passing through Shanzhou City, the city guard will be called Zhao Cheng, is Ma Wu's henchman, as long as Ma Wu goes out to lead the army to fight, he will be transferred to his side as a deputy general, the battle of Longyou, Li Xun and he can be regarded as having a relationship, Li Xun's arrival, Zhao Cheng seemed quite polite, killed cattle and sheep, and entertained Li Xun and others.
Although more than half a year has passed since the Battle of Longyou, there are still many traces left by the war around Shanzhou City, ruined cities, and many dark red land......
The fourth day of February.
Li Xun entered the territory of Ganzhou, a total of 11 states in Longyou, Shan, Liang, Lang, and Qiang in the east, Gan, Sha, Gua, Wu, Die, Min, and Linqi in the west, and the four states in the east of Longyou, although the population is not large, but the main cities are still quite prosperous and lively, and after entering the western territory of Longyou, it can really be called a wide and sparsely populated area, and the road is also difficult to walk. It is a big spit of bitterness, saying that although Minhuang County is governed by Minzhou, the population is less than 30,000, food is insufficient, poverty and so on....
