278 retaliation

(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, thank you!) ）

The remnant sun is like blood, and the blood is like the remnant sun!

A lonely, blood-stained figure stood there with a gun, never falling.

His armor was tattered, covered in blood, with his own, but more of the enemy's.

On the ground around him, countless corpses fell, including soldiers from his own side, but more of them were the corpses of enemies.

"Haha, come on, let Lao Tzu kill again!"

Zhao Zilong laughed wildly, and the hundreds of soldiers surrounding him didn't dare to step forward, they were really afraid of being killed.

Zhao Zilong led fifty guards to block Lu Yuanqing and his subordinates here for nearly half an hour, and took Qiao's family to the ferry port and board the ship smoothly for Zhang Fugui.

However, for this, Zhao Zilong and his fifty men also paid the price of blood, and by this time, except for Zhao Zilong, who was seriously injured and stood there.

The other fifty guards who had left behind with him had all been killed, and hundreds of the enemies had fallen into their hands, and the enemy was terrified.

At this time, Lu Tianqing's face was gloomy as water, his forehead was bruised, and he kicked down a soldier next to him who was trembling and didn't dare to rush up, and shouted: "Rush up to Lao Tzu, if anyone doesn't rush, Lao Tzu will slaughter his whole family." ”

Because Zhao Zilong led people to stay and block the attack, Lu Yuanqing lost the best opportunity to seize Qiao's family, and in the end, he had no choice but to order the young general in front of him to live.

He could see that this young general was very skilled, and the soldiers who died in battle were all centered on him, and some people even did not hesitate to block their guns during the battle.

Since he is destined not to catch Qiao's family, in order to go back and not be scolded by Lu Da'an, he must capture the young player in front of him alive who is still a little valuable.

At that time, with such a hostage in hand, there will still be room for bargaining with Li Zixiao.

In this battle, Lu Yuanqing really saw the combat effectiveness of the White Dragon soldiers.

He finally understood why his brother Lu Yuantong, who led more than 3,000 officers and soldiers in the four guards, was defeated by Li Zixiao with less than 800 people.

Just look at the fact that at this time he had more than 300 people with him, surrounded and killed 50 people, and now he paid more than 130 casualties.

"Catch him for me, I want to live, I want to live." Lu Yuanqing shouted hysterically.

Because of Lu Tianqing's order, his subordinates were afraid of killing Zhao Zilong, and Zhao Zilong happened to understand this.

Knowing that the other party wanted to capture him alive, he completely gave up the imperial guard, with a spear in his hand, dancing so that the dragon rolled, and the spear stabbed out a little cold star, taking away the lives of one enemy after another.

In order to capture Zhao Zilong alive, Lu Yuanqing was stunned and killed more than 20 people, and finally Zhao Zilong fought to exhaustion, failed to commit suicide, and was captured.

When Lu Yuanqing rushed to Jiangbei Ferry with a team of remnants, Zhang Fugui had already taken Qiao's family on the boat and was crossing the river.

It's just that they didn't go far, they stopped on the river not far from the river, and they were waiting for Zhao Zilong to come back.

Even if they understood that the chances of Zhao Zilong and the others coming back were pitiful, they still stayed and waited.

"Ahhh......h

When Lu Yuanqing saw the boat stuck on the river, and then looked at the lonely ferry, he couldn't help but roar loudly to the sky.

Zhang Fugui is not stupid, after he boarded the boat, he sent someone to forcibly drive away all the other boatmen at this ferry, at this time Lu Yuanqing came over, and there was no boat available, so he could not pursue them.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Fugui dared to order someone to stop and wait for Zhao Zilong.

Lu Yuanqing was furious, grabbed Zhao Zilong's collar, dragged him to the riverside, and shouted loudly to the river: "Listen to the people on the river, your people are now in our hands."

Go back and tell the man surnamed Li that if he dares to hurt my cousin, I will kill this person alive. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Fugui, don't worry about me, I've killed enough Ben today, go back and tell the general that I, Zhao Zilong, didn't disgrace him, didn't disgrace the juvenile battalion.

Let the general leave me alone, it doesn't matter if I die, I believe the general will avenge me in the future. ”

Zhao Zilong was covered in injuries and couldn't stand up, still using his last strength to shout at Jiangshang.

"You ......"

Lu Yuanqing was angry with Zhao Zilong, his hands and feet trembled, he had never seen such a person who was not afraid of death.

Lu Yuanqing wanted to slap Zhao Zilong hard now, out of the evil anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to do it.

At this time, Zhao Zilong was seriously injured, and he was afraid that if he did it, if he was killed, then they would have no chips in their hands, and the surnamed Li would probably kill his cousin alive.

After Zhang Fugui on the river heard Zhao Zilong's shout, his eyes were moist, no one had ever called him eldest brother, and at this moment he recognized Zhao Zilong's younger brother in his heart.

"Brother Zilong, you helped me stay this time, brother is sorry for you!" Zhang Fugui said bitterly.

He asked himself, he really didn't have Zhao Zilong's fearless spirit, and dared to stay and block the enemy, this was the task of sending him to death.

"The surname is Lu, you listen to Grandpa Ben, if my brother Zilong is missing a finger from you, we will cut off one of your people's arms."

From Lu Yuanqing's words, Zhang Fugui guessed that Li Zixiao should have caught some character of the Lu family, and made them throw a mouse trap, and did not dare to kill Zhao Zilong.

Just let him take advantage of the situation to threaten Lu Yuanqing, so that he should be able to temporarily save Zhao Zilong's life.

As for how to rescue Zhao Zilong, it will be up to him to send Qiao Shi back, and then discuss it carefully with Li Zixiao.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Fugui finally ordered the boat to sail, cross the Yangtze River, and arrive at the ferry port in Jiangbei.

On the other side of the river, Li Zixiao had already ordered that all the five or six ferries along the other side of Jinling be garrisoned, and no matter Zhang Fugui and they came back from that ferry, he would know as soon as possible.

"General, General Qi Wei reported that Director Zhang and they have returned from Yegu Ferry." A cavalryman reports to Li Zixiao.

"Let's go, take us there." Li Zixiao led a team of people to go immediately.

"General, the wealth lives up to expectations, and the old lady is finally brought back safely."

As soon as Zhang Fugui got off the boat, he rushed to Li Zixiao, knelt down on one knee, and said.

"Okay, okay, dog, you've done a great job this time, and you'll be rewarded when you go back. That's right, Zilong! Li Zixiao was very happy at this time.

"Brother Zilong, he ......" said Zhang Fugui and cried directly.

As soon as Li Zixiao saw Zhang Fugui's appearance, he knew that Zhao Zilong was afraid that something had happened, and Zhao Zilong was one of the talents that Li Zixiao valued very much.

This kid, with courage and strategy, has practiced a good martial arts, and after joining the youth camp, he became the head of a group of teenagers, and began to read and hyphenation, and his future potential is immeasurable.

And Li Zixiao also has intentions, Zhao Zilong can be said to be loyal to him, and he has no second heart, because he is his student.

"What's wrong with Zilong? You make it clear to me. ”

Li Zixiao scolded, what he was most worried about was that Zhao Zilong was dead.

"In order to cover our evacuation, Brother Zilong led fifty guards to break off, and was captured alive by Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing also asked us to tell the general that if the general dared to kill his cousin, he would kill Zilong alive.

General, we must save Zilong! Zhang Fugui said crying.

And after Li Zixiao listened to Zhang Fugui's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself: "It's good if you don't die, it's good if you don't die." ”

"Okay, I know about this matter, let's discuss it later, don't worry, Zilong can't die over there."

He just wants to die, and the Lu family doesn't dare to let him die, it is estimated that he eats better every day there than we do here! ”

Li Zixiao said with a smile.

At this time, Lin Yuluo supported a woman and walked out of the boat, and Li Zixiao saw it from afar.

At this time, Li Zixiao had already guessed the identity of this woman, and it should be his mother.

It's a pity that in Li Zixiao's memory of inheriting this body, there is almost no memory of his mother, because his mother left before Li Zixiao was sensible.

But at this time, Li Zixiao still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and at the same time, he also recalled his mother in another time and space.

Li Zixiao rushed to the woman quickly, immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "The child sees the mother, and the mother has suffered all these years, and it is the child who is not filial." ”

Qiao Shi looked at Li Zixiao kneeling in front of him, and in his tired eyes, tears flickered, and old tears flowed.

She squatted down, slowly helped Li Zixiao up, and said softly: "Child, mother is not bitter, I am relieved to see you grow up and become a talent, and now you have become a general." ”

Li Zixiao listened to how this voice was so familiar, raised his head to look at Qiao's, and immediately stayed in place.

"Aunt Qiao, you ......"

The woman in front of him, Li Zixiao, is too familiar, isn't this 'Aunt Qiao' who grew up watching him grow up, and Li Zixiao has known the identity of 'Aunt Qiao' for a long time, but he has never cared.

And Qiao Shi looked at his son stunned, and he also laughed, tapped Li Zixiao's forehead with his finger, and said, "Silly boy, don't call Aunt Qiao in the future, you have to change your name to Mother."

I've been waiting for you to call me 'Mother' in person, and I've been waiting for 20 years.

I thought I would never see my son again in this life, but I didn't expect God to favor me, an old woman, and let Xiao'er be safe and sound, it is really blessed by the Buddha! ”

Saying that, Qiao couldn't help but cry profusely.

Li Zixiao was not stupid, he quickly understood the reason, thinking that his mother had been hiding the night incense for the Li family for twenty years in order to see him.

His mother has always been by his side, and he has been like this for 20 years, and he has never been a person without a mother.

"Mother!"

At this time, Li Zixiao could no longer suppress his excitement, cried bitterly, and threw himself into Qiao's arms.

In the face of his generals, Li Zixiao is a stern and demanding general, in the face of the enemy, Li Zixiao is a ruthless executioner, and in the face of his mother, Li Zixiao is still a child.

Qi Wei on the side saw Li Zixiao hugging Qiao's and crying bitterly, so he beckoned to his subordinates around him very knowingly, telling them to disperse and just keep around.

"Mother, from now on, we don't have to be separated again."

Subsequently, Li Zixiao took his mother and led the cavalry battalion back to the cottage.

The first thing he did when he returned to the cottage was to gather his generals and give combat orders.

This time, Li Zixiao didn't plan to attack the city and plunder the wall, because if he really did that, he would really be terrorist, and it would probably force Chongzhen to make up his mind to destroy him.

This time, Li Zixiao sent people out to set up checkpoints.

Li Zixiao directly sent people to blockade several official roads in Kaifeng's south, set up checkpoints on the official roads, and charged 'handling fees' for passing caravans along the way.

In fact, Li Zixiao had already done this before, but at that time he was only limited to passing through the two official roads in Yongcheng County.

However, this time it was different, Li Zixiao not only ordered to set up a card in the Yongcheng area, but also sent a pioneer battalion to go directly to the Xuzhou area and occupy the canal ferry in the north of Xuzhou.

On the canal, a checkpoint was set up and taxes were collected on ships passing through the canal.

You must know that at this time, the canal was responsible for almost 60% of the freight volume of the north-south trade.

This is also the greatest wealth left by Yang Guang, who has been cursed by the world for thousands of years, for future generations.

Even if Yang Guang's original intention of building this canal at that time was just for his own enjoyment, it is undeniable that this canal has indeed blessed his descendants.

Even if Yang Guang is stupid, he still has to admit this.

A generation of Ming Jun may only bless one generation, but Yang Guang, a faint king, has blessed the Chinese people for thousands of years!

There are hundreds of merchant ships passing through the canal every day, and the value of the commercial goods involved is as much as 100,000 taels.

Previously, the successive prefects of Xuzhou had already opened checkpoints on the canal to collect 'protection fees' for ships, which was also the largest oil and water input of the successive prefects of Xuzhou.

It's just that they only dare to collect the 'protection fee' of those small merchant ships, and they don't dare to move those big merchant ships with deep backgrounds.

This time, Li Zixiao also set up his own checkpoint directly on the canal, and he didn't care about the checkpoint set up privately by the Xuzhou prefect.

Qiu Guangming, the current governor of Xuzhou, has long reached a tacit understanding with Li Zixiao, and they will not interfere with each other's well water.

And this time, Li Zixiao set up checkpoints on the canal, mainly to take revenge on the Wanjia family in Yangzhou and the Lu family in Jinling.

Both are big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the business houses in the family are developed, and their business houses have long been all over the north and south.

At this time, there was a famine everywhere in the north, and they had to sell a lot of grain to the north every day to earn a lot of money.

And the most convenient route for them to transport grain is to take the canal and transport grain by boat, which is much more convenient and cheaper than the land route.

Li Zixiao's order to Zhou Dazhu was to only collect taxes on those large merchant ships on the canal, and once he encountered the fleet of Yangzhou Wanjia and Jinling Lujia, he was directly detained.

This time, Li Zixiao suffered such a big loss, and the Tiger Ben battalion suffered more than 300 casualties, nearly half of the casualties.

suffered such a big loss, if Li Zixiao didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be Li Zixiao.

It's just that due to the limited number of soldiers and horses in his hands at this time, and the time is not yet at this time, Li Zixiao cannot directly lead his troops to Yangzhou and set foot in Jinling.

Otherwise, he would have led people into the Lu family in Jinling and took the two dog heads of Lu Da'an and Lu Yuanqing.

Fortunately, this time, the core backbone of the Tiger Battalion is still preserved, and when some recruits are replenished from the recruit camp, and then those injured veterans return from injury, the Tiger Battalion will become stronger.

In this bloody battle, the Tiger Camp gave birth to the soul of an undefeated army, which is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is also a must for a strong army with iron and blood.
