Chapter 449: Li Shu of Suffering
After all, a superior person, he can't do everything himself, otherwise it will limit the ability of his subordinates and others, so that they don't dare to do what they want in the future.
With nothing to do, Li Huiyi also took his family and began to hunt in the mountains, and lived a good life.
Compared with Li Huiyi's happy life, in a cottage on the border of Jingyuyang, some people are miserable.
In the dirty fire room, a child in his teens, with a dark face and no real face, was adding dry wood to the stove.
The chef is an old man in his fifties and fifties, with a big shovel in his hand, constantly turning over the meat in the pot.
The old man's eyes sneaked towards the door, and when he saw that no one was moving, he quickly picked up a piece of meat from the pot and whispered, "Little doll, take it and eat it." ”
Hearing the sound, the child raised his head, quickly took it, devoured it, and after a while, the meat in his hand was wiped out.
After eating, the child's eyes were glued to the pot, looking like he still wanted it.
The old man looked at it, took another piece, handed it over and said, "Eat quickly, you can't ask for any more after eating, otherwise there will be too much, and the big boss will find out." ”
The child nodded, quickly put the meat in his mouth, and then squatted down to continue adding firewood, without saying a word the whole time.
The old man looked sorry and muttered. "This kid, I really miss my grandson, but unfortunately I can't speak, if I ......"
If you want to say who this child is, she is Li Shu who disappeared from the Battle of Dongping Lingcheng.
In the midst of the chaos, Li Shu was scattered and could have fled back to Youbeiping, but she always wanted to see the outside world in her heart, and she didn't want to live like a bird in a birdcage, so she secretly fled to Yanzhou.
At that time, the drought was at its worst, and the people did not say that they would eat their children, but they also sold their sons and daughters, and they had begged for some living rations.
Li Shu, a teenager, has been living in the stars and the moon, and he can't cope with the dangerous world outside.
As soon as he arrived in Yanzhou, he was deceived by a middle-aged man and sold to a large family as slaves.
When Li Shu knew that he was being sold, he was also smart enough to endure it, but secretly prepared to escape.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and a month later, Li Shu finally found an opportunity to escape from the family's house.
With this lesson, Li Shu also has a long heart, and he has a certain degree of guard against strangers.
But a child, who has no relatives and no reason outside, and is a turbulent year, can't go far at all.
Just when Li Shu was about to go back to the north, he didn't leave the city for a few days, and was caught by a group of bandits.
Yanzhou is under the rule of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cannot tolerate any other forces under his rule.
In order to avoid Cao Jun's coming, they also robbed their homes and houses, and retreated in the direction of Yuzhou.
And the safest is the place where the three states of Yujingyang meet, where the princes can't press the soldiers and horses, because there are dozens of bandits here.
If the princes came to attack, they would combine to resist, and they usually operated on the hills they occupied, and they lived quite peacefully.
For a mountain to be swallowed by an outside force, these bandits will not help.
Because they need a strong helper, not an indiscriminate recharge, and it is normal to change blood frequently.
But if there are mountains that want to swallow each other up and grow, then they will unite and press the situation down, so as not to lose their power and be surrounded and suppressed by the princes.
And today, it is here that they migrated from Yanzhou and took down a small hill to celebrate the feast.
Along the way, their team has grown and taken in many homeless people, more than 5,000 people.
However, there are more than 5,000 people, and less than 1,000 can fight, and the rest are old and weak women and children.
And those who are still alive here depend on luck and strength, and everyone must have their own usefulness, otherwise they will be ruthlessly abandoned.
Since Li Shu was captured, her life has been in danger many times, and once she was even asked to pick up a rudimentary weapon and go into battle.
Fortunately, the nobleman has his own blessing, Li Shu finally survived without danger, in order not to let people find anything, Li Shu has been acting as a mute, in order to confuse the vigilance of the bandits, looking for an opportunity to escape.
And in that fight, a small leader saw that Li Shu had some ability, so he arranged her to work in the gang room in case of emergency.
Li Shu was arranged to go to the room to burn the fire and serve food, which was also a good errand for her, and she didn't have to face bloody battles every day.
The old man in this group is named Old Man Wang, and no one knows what his real name is, and no one will ask.
Old man Wang still takes some care of Li Shu, always secretly leaves her some delicious food, and will also teach her some skills to live.
Inexplicably, Li Shu was naturally vigilant, but under Old Man Wang's many self-talks, he learned that he had a grandson as old as Li Shu, but unfortunately he died.
At this time, when the old man Wang saw that the meat was cooked, he picked up the plate, loaded a few plates, put them on the wooden plate of the dishes, and asked Li Shu to send them to the lobby.
Li Shu quickly added a few pieces of dry firewood, patted the dust on his body, picked up the wooden plate, and walked out.
When he came to the lobby, noisy talking, insults, and sycophants kept ringing, Li Shu put down the dishes and left quickly.
But at this moment, a small minion suddenly ran and knocked Li Shu to the side.
"I'm blind to you, and if I have something to do today, I won't bother with you as a dumb person." knocked Li Shu down, and the little minion took the lead in cursing, and quickly moved forward.
"Report! The big boss, a person came down from the mountain, claiming to be an official under Liu Biao in Jingzhou, saying that there was a big deal to talk about with the big boss. ”
The leader is a bearded man in his thirties named He Fa, who has practiced boxing and kicking for several years since he was a child, and is also a master for ordinary people.
When He Fa heard the little minion's report, the smile on his face froze on the spot, and his heart fell into deep thought.
This Liu Biao in Jingzhou, although He Fa said that he had never seen it, but he had also heard that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and if he wanted to kill him, he would move his fingers, and as for trading, I am afraid there would be no good thing.
He Fa pondered for a while, looked at these capable generals in the hall, and said slowly: "You say, what kind of deal is this Liu Biao sending people here?" It's not like you want to take us in. ”
Wang Zheng, the first dog-headed military advisor on the left, opened his mouth and said: "Big boss, when you see it, don't you know that if it is absorbed, we will unite with the rest of the mountains, and there is no need to be afraid of Liu Biao's coming." ”。
The reason why they are unwilling to accept the incorporation is that they are afraid of the so-called incorporation, send them some rations, and let them go to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder.
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, He Fa said worriedly: "I just arrived here, but I am afraid that there will be hostility on the hills, and I will sit back and watch when the time comes, so what should I do?"
