Chapter 15: The Bandit Turmoil
At this time, the Luoyang City Gate at noon is very lively.
Zhu Wei said to Li Huiyi, "Huiyi must take care of himself when he goes to Xiangping, where foreign clans are rampant, and the forces are intertwined and complicated." Think twice about everything, and don't make big mistakes in the rush for quick success."
"Thank you for reminding me that Huiyi must keep it in mind. The teacher must ensure that he is in good health, and Huiyi will definitely come back to see you when he has time."
"Okay, that's good".
Cai Yongyou came up and said, "Huiyi boy, you have nothing to explain to the old man in Xiangping, I just hope you don't let Yan'er become a widow before she gets married."
Cai Wenji said shyly, "Father, what are you talking about!" I hate to die, Hui Yi This is the sachet that Wen Ji embroidered for you, I hope Hui Yi will always bring it on me, so that it will be like I am by your side."
Li Huiyi took the sachet and said, "Thank you Yan'er, Huiyi must not leave the bath."
Cai Wenji blushed and said, "Brother Huiyi, it's so annoying."
At this time, Cai Yong said to Chen Gong, "Brother Gongtai, the old man originally wanted you to enter the court as an official, since you chose to go to Xiangping with Huiyi, then the old man will not stop you." The young man is in an impetuous mood, and I hope that the public station will help me watch more, I am such a baby daughter"!
Chen Gong replied, "Brother Bo, I'll do my best."
Then he turned to Li Huiyi, "Huiyi's time is not early, I'll wait on the road"!
Li Huiyi looked into the distance and said, "The public platform is waiting for a quarter of an hour"!
Chen Gong sighed, "Okay! Wait a quarter of an hour, remember that what is yours is yours, not what you can force."
"What Mr. means, Huiyi understands, but he just doesn't want to give up."
A quarter of an hour later, the public desk said, "Let's go!" Otherwise, I won't be able to leave today. ”
Lee Hye-yi reluctantly said, "Okay! Goodbye Yan'er, goodbye teacher, goodbye Mr. Cai".
"Brother Huiyi guarantees, Huiyi Gongtai guarantees".
Along the way, Li Huiyi was silent, and the public station also knew what I thought but didn't speak.
But Juanizi kept chattering.
In the evening of the day, Chen Gong said, "There is an inn in front of Huiyi, let's rest here today, and we will walk tomorrow." After speaking, the three of them came to the inn together.
"Little two come to three rooms!"
"Okay guest officer, come with the villain!"
Xiao Er brought Li Daxia and others to the room, and after the three of them finished dividing the room, they went downstairs to ask for some wine and food.
Chen Gong asked Li Huiyi, "Does Huiyi know the current situation of Xiangping"?
Li Huiyi replied, "Mr. Gongtai, Xiangping is a county in Liaodong County, and now in the bitter cold land of Liaodong County, there should not be many families.
In addition, the county guard of Liaodong has been unmanned for many years, and they are all temporary substitutes for others. As long as Huiyi regains the hearts of the people and teaches the foreign people a bloody lesson, he should be able to stabilize."
Chen Gong nodded and said, "That's a good word, but I don't know if Xiangping has a leading general."
Li Huiyi sighed and said, "Alas! It's a pity that Brother Gao Shun didn't come, otherwise why should Mr. worry."
At this time, there was the sound of a carriage outside, and I only heard a familiar voice shouting, "Brother Huiyi is not inside, is Brother Huiyi inside?"
"Gao Shun is here, Mr. The problem is solved, God bless me Li Huiyi, hahaha!"
Li Huiyi got up and hurriedly walked out and said loudly, "Brother Gao, we are here."
Gao Shun got out of the carriage and said, "It's good to catch up, Brother Huiyi has decided to go to Xiangping with you, and the eldest husband will be returned as a horse leather shroud."
"Good! With the arrival of Brother Gao Shun, why worry about big things. Running all the way, hard work, just in time for the meal. Little two more meat".
"Okay guest officer, wait a minute, the food will come up immediately."
"Come in, Mrs. Sister-in-law, come in."
Early the next morning, dry food was prepared, Li Huiyi and the four of them got into the carriage, and Gao Shun drove the carriage to set off.
Three days later, he came to the vicinity of Daigun.
Gao Shun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I can only spend one night in the carriage."
Li Huiyi replied, "Okay Brother Gao, this road is safe and sound, and now you have to be careful when you go to the border of Youzhou." The harvest in Youzhou has not been very good in recent years, the imperial court has increased taxes, the people have been displaced, there is no way out, and thieves abound in the mountains."
"Okay Huiyi, don't worry! Go and choose a good place".
After a while, Gao Shun came back and said, "There is a canyon ahead, and the intersection is only the size of a carriage." If one person guards it, even if there are hundreds of thieves, it will be difficult to break through for a while, so it is better to rest there tonight."
Chen Gong said, "Okay, I'll take a look together."
Soon we will come to the valley. After looking at the terrain, the public station said, "Gao Shun can be a good general, let's rest here tonight"!
Lee Hye-yi replied, "Since everyone has decided, let's just take it here tonight!"
Gao Shun said, "I went to hunt some game and improve the food."
Lee Hye-yi said, "Go ahead! Be careful".
About an hour ago, Gao Shun came back with two big rabbits and said, "Huiyi, Mr. may not be peaceful here, according to the normal situation, there will be a lot of game in the mountains, but there are very few here, this is still a lot of effort to find, it seems that this place is not peaceful."
Li Huiyi also said worriedly, "Brother Gao, hurry up and finish cooking and resting, and then the two will take turns to keep vigil."
"Okay Huiyi, let's go clean up the rabbits."
Li Huiyi immediately caught fire, and after a while, Gao Shun came over with a rabbit, and Li Huiyi said, "Brother Gao is tired and go to accompany his sister-in-law, I'll get it."
After speaking, he started to roast it, and after a while, it was fragrant.
Li Huiyi shouted to the carriage, "Juannizi, hurry up, there is your favorite roast rabbit meat."
"It's coming!" After saying that, he immediately ran over and grabbed a rabbit leg to eat.
Li Huiyi took another rabbit and said to her, "Don't eat it yet, send it to Big Brother Gao."
Juan Nizi said with a mouth that she was not allowed to eat well, and walked to the carriage with the rabbit.
Li Huiyi tore off half of the rabbit and sent it to Chen Gong. "There is half a rabbit on the public platform, let's eat some"!
"Huiyi, you eat! I eat dry food".
"Mr. said that, Huiyi asked Mr. to go to Xiangping, and if he didn't let Mr. eat delicious food, how could he let Mr. eat dry food. If you don't want it, you will throw it away." After Li Huiyi finished speaking, he was about to throw it.
Seeing this, Chen Gong hurriedly said, "Okay, Huiyi is so polite, then I'll eat."
After eating, everyone was ready to rest.
After everyone had eaten, Li Huiyi discussed the vigil with Gao Shun. "Brother Gao worked hard during the day, Huiyi came to guard it in the first half of the night, and changed in the second half of the night."
"Okay, good work!"
"It's okay, let's rest!"
Li Huiyi was bored and looked at the sky, when the public came over and said, "Huiyi is keeping vigil!" It's not easy for the two of you to guard, so cutting more wood, placing it at the intersection of the canyon, and digging more small pits fifty meters in front of the canyon can serve as a warning."
Li Huiyi got up and said, "Thank you Mr. for reminding me, Huiyi will do it"!
After Li Huiyi finished his work, he sat down on the ground tiredly, and the whole canyon was quiet.
The firelight flickered in the wind, and his thoughts drifted away, I don't know how Yan'er is doing in Luoyang, looking at the sachet in his hand.
It feels like a dream, and I'm afraid that when I wake up, there's nothing left. Alas! I've thought about it a lot, anyway, everything is going according to my thoughts now, and it seems that I don't have to do anything in this life like before the crossing, and I have failed to do anything.
Gao Shun came over and said, "Huiyi, I'm here to take over, you go to sleep"!
"Big brother Gao is so fast, how many times is it now"!
"Quick? I saw that Hui Yi was thinking about things, so I was fascinated! It's almost three shifts now, hurry up and rest, and I'm still on the road tomorrow!"
"Okay, Brother Gao, then Huiyi is resting! After saying that, he went to the fire and closed his clothes and slept.
I probably slept hazy, and I only heard a scream.
Everyone woke up in fright, and Li Huiyi hurriedly ran to ask, "What happened to Brother Gao."
Gao Shun replied, "Huiyi! A group of bandits came, numbering about 100 people, and I was blocked outside."
After a while, the public platform and Juan Nizi came over.
Chen Gong said to Li Huiyi and Gao Shun, "What happened to Huiyi and Gao Shun."
Li Huiyi replied, "Mr. has a bandit, but fortunately, the trap arranged by Mr. gave us enough time to react."
After Li Huiyi finished speaking, he turned to Juan Nizi and said, "Go back to the carriage and take care of Sister-in-law Gao."
Juan Nizi glanced at Li Huiyi and said, "Pig's head, be careful yourself."
At this time, the other side saw that the sneak attack failed, and he was not sneaky, and directly lit a torch.
I saw the Bailai bandits standing outside the canyon. The bandits were actually a group of refugees, with only one of the leading men with a broken knife in his hand, and the rest were sticks and rakes for farm work.
I saw the leader of the big man say, "The five of you come out quickly, leave the carriage and money, and Grandpa Ben will let you go, otherwise I will all die."
Brother Gao said, "If you have the ability, come in, and one day see what you have the ability to do."
"If the little ones don't come out, then we will rush over, and the first one to rush in can eat as much as you like at night."
Listening to the sermon and eating casually, they rushed forward like crazy.
"Gao Shun, capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down that leader for me." After speaking, Gongtai pulled out the sword he was wearing, and Li Huiyi also pulled out the sword he was carrying and defended it at the mouth of the canyon.
(The Han Dynasty worshipped force, so both literati and martial arts practitioners would carry swords with them.) )
Gao Shun saw that the two were defending at the mouth of the canyon, so he rushed into the pile of bandits. The bandits didn't care about Gao Shun, they just rushed to the canyon.
The bandits screamed at the mouth of the canyon, and there were many people clasping their feet on the ground and shouting, and even a few rushed to us and were repulsed.
After watching Gao Shun and the big man fight for more than ten rounds, the big man seemed to run out of strength, and was knocked to the ground by Gao Shun with a sweep, and Gao Shun grabbed the big man and walked towards the canyon.
Gao Shun returned to the canyon and shouted, "Your leader has been captured, and if you don't surrender, when will you wait?"
I saw that the rest of the people who were holding on to the injured and retreated directly, regardless of the big man.
Gao Shun guarded the door, Li Huiyi and Gongtai came to the man and asked, "If you don't do it, why do you want to fall into the grass?"
The man replied, "You think we do! There is no grain harvest, and the imperial court has so much tax, if we don't become thieves, we will all die!"
Gao Shun said, "Flim tongue, it's nothing."
The man dismissively said, "Huh! If I'm full, even the three of you won't be able to catch me."
So powerful, Li Huiyi stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?"
"In Xiaguanhai, if you want to kill, you can come casually."
Oh! Guan Hai appeared in the Three Kingdoms, and was killed in a battle with Guan Yu for more than ten rounds, but it seems that he still has some ability to go through more than ten rounds under Guan Yu, and now it is just the time to use people, see if you can take him down.
So Li Huiyi said, "A certain is the newly appointed general Li Huiyi of Xiangping Lingzhong of Liaodong County." I don't know if Guan Hai is willing to go to Xiangping with someone"?
"Phew! The lackeys of the court, if you die, you will not surrender to you."
Li Huiyi was puzzled and asked, "Guan Hai, why do you hate the court so much?"
"Originally, the annual income in the village could support the family, but the imperial court increased taxes year by year, forcing the family to die, you say I can not hate."
"Guan Hai, don't worry, go to Xiangping with Huiyi, Huiyi will exempt you from taxes for three years, and after three years, only one percent of the tax will be paid, I don't know if you are willing to go"?
"You lie, there are such good things in the world".
"What did Huiyi lie to you for, what do you have to make Huiyi deceive now".
Guan Hai thought for a while, and he could see that his heart was moved from his face.
"Can you go with someone who is with you?"
Lee asked, "How many of you are there?"
"There are more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and about 200 of them are strong."
"Okay, yes, as long as you want, you can go with Huiyi." Anyway, what the Three Kingdoms will lack by then is the population, and now they can pull more of it.
"Then will they go and be treated the same as me"?
"Of course, as long as Huiyi takes office, everyone under the county will be the same."
Then do you dare to let me go and let me go back and recruit them"?
"It doesn't matter what, just go ahead"!
"Huiyi can't let him go, otherwise he ......"
"It's okay, Brother Gao, don't worry! Aren't you going to leave, wait for Huiyi to leave you for dinner?"
Guan Hai got up and glanced at Li Huiyi, and then walked out of the canyon.
"Tomorrow at noon, set off when you are ready, I hope that the Guan Hai brothers will come in time."
Gao Shun said to Chen Gong next to him, "Sir, will he come back?"
"Rest early! Won't we see tomorrow?" Chen Gong turned around and went back to sleep with a haha, leaving Gao Shun alone to keep vigil.
