【Chapter 394】 Eye-opening
Until this time, the old man Chen Fang knew that Zheng Feng was just his pseudonym, and his real name was Li Wenchang. And the name Li Wenchang is obviously not his name, but a word; His surname is Li, and his name is Wenchang.
"Childe is Xiliang Li Wenchang?"
Just as the old man Chen Fang racked his brains and pondered, Chen Zhi, who was sitting next to Li Li, suddenly got up, looked at Li Li in disbelief, and exclaimed.
"It's down there. This time, Li came to the Central Plains to travel, in order to avoid extraneous branches, so he hid his real name and assumed the pseudonym Zheng Feng. If you are rude, I hope that Uncle Zhi and Chen Gong will forgive me. Hehehe! Seeing that Chen Zhi had already guessed his identity, Li Li said with a smile.
"Huh?" Chen Zhiyan's expression changed dramatically when he heard this, his eyes appeared stunned, and his mind was blank. After losing his mind for a moment, he immediately bowed down and bowed, "Cao Min Chen has come to see the general." Previously, the grass people didn't know the identity of the general, and there were many abruptness, so I asked the general to forgive me! ”
"Uncle Zhizhi is serious. Those who don't know are not to blame, what a crime Uncle is! Li Li raised his hand slightly, motioned for Chen Zhi to get up, and said with a smile.
The old man Chen Fang, who was sitting on the side, saw that his grandson already knew Li Li's true identity, and immediately asked urgently, "General?" Here's it, you said that Li Gongzi is a general of the imperial court, when did this happen, why haven't I heard of it? ”
After Chen Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Li Li's expression, and after getting Li Li's nod in agreement, he walked up to his grandfather Chen Fang and said softly: "Grandpa, you have been living in seclusion here for five or six years, so you may not know many things that have happened in the Han Dynasty in recent years. The Li Gongzi in front of him is the general Wei who was enshrined by the imperial court last year, and he is the third duke, and he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Three years ago, when I was on the run from the capital of Runan County. Childe is already a well-known cavalry general! ”
"Ahh You said that the son was the famous Li Xiaoqi three years ago? Chen Fang stood up in shock and exclaimed incredulously.
At this time, Li Li waved his hand to signal Chen Zhi to step aside, got up to help the old man Chen Fang, and said with a smile: "It's vain, Chen Gong doesn't have to care." In front of your elders, there are younger generations below, as for the size of the official position, what a good way! You keep saying yes, hehehe! ”
Chen Fangzheng's body that wanted to bend down and bow was held by Li Li first. Chen Fang was extremely grateful for this move, and then his thin hands grabbed Li Li's arms, his face full of surprise. Obviously, he was deeply glad for entrusting Chen Zhi to Li Li before, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.
In fact. The name of Xiliang Li Li is really loud, and it has already spread throughout all states and counties of the Han Dynasty. And. Li Li has a good reputation. He led the Western Liang army to resist many barbarians on both sides of the northwest, and was a staunch supporter of the Chang'an court, and never colluded with his uncle Li Dao to coerce the Son of Heaven. More importantly, Li Li became famous as a young man, and his military exploits were brilliant, after pacifying Xiliang. Instead of provoking the war again, he vigorously managed the people's livelihood, so that the people of Xiliang were able to worry about food and clothing in less than two years, which made everyone praise Li Li's good deeds.
And so on. At a time when the world is in turmoil, Xiliang, which was originally the most chaotic, is the safest, the territory is safe, the law and order are good, the officials are clear, the administration is lenient, and the scene is peaceful and stable. On the other hand, although the Central Plains and Jingyang Prefectures are rich lands, the war is becoming more and more intense, the smoke is everywhere, the people are miserable, and the days are not as good as day by day. Under the advantages of the other, Xiliang Li Li has become more and more commendable and has been widely spread by the world.
Therefore, when Li Li's name is mentioned now, except for the powerful clans and princes from all over the world, most of the people recognize Li Li's reputation. Among them, many aspiring young people regard Li Li as their idol and are amazed by what he has done.
However, all this was a surprise for Li Li; The helpless move in the past, but after two years, I got a big harvest beyond imagination.
————————————————————————
The weather was sunny and cloudless.
Early spring passed, and spring became stronger.
On the post road outside the city of Qiaoxian, a group of more than ten horsemen whipped and galloped.
After the group left, a group of more than 100 horsemen followed, also fast horses and whips, speeding like the wind.
"Uncle Zhi, how far is this place from Xujiazhuang, can we arrive in the afternoon?"
On the post road, Li Li lightly lifted the reins, drove the mount under his crotch to gradually slow down, and turned his head to Chen Zhi behind him and asked.
Chen Zhi and Li Zhi are neck and neck, on the left and right sides behind Li Li. Since he joined Li Li two days ago on the orders of his grandfather Chen Fang, he was appointed by Li Li as the commander of Jin Yiwei, directly under Li Zhi's account, and temporarily served as Li Li's personal guard. Because he is a native of Runan, he is familiar with the terrain around Runan, and he also serves as the scout captain.
After hearing the question of the lord Li Li, Chen Zhi rushed to Li Li's side and said respectfully: "My lord, after passing through the city, there is a reckless jungle, over the mountains in the south, and then forty miles to the southeast, there is Xujiazhuang. The whole journey is estimated to be seventy or eighty miles, and if we do not rest in the city and hurry on the march, we will be able to reach there about the evening.
However, in the mountains to the south, there are several grass bandits, often blocking the road and robbing caravans and pedestrians, burning, killing and plundering, unscrupulously. The number of these bandits varies from more than 100 to thousands; Each has its own territory, under the command of different leaders, and its weapons and armor are also uneven. But one thing is certain, that is, these bandits are all remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and when they encounter the attack of officers and soldiers, they often join forces to resist the officers and soldiers together. Because of this, the soldiers of Qianxian County and Runan County were helpless against them, even if they jointly encircled and suppressed with Peiguo soldiers, they could not completely exterminate these yellow turban thieves.
Therefore, the general suggested that we should not rush to the road after leaving the city, and wait until the rear team arrives, and then we will join forces and enter the mountain again, so as to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from blocking the road and plundering after entering the mountain. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”
"Yellow Turban thieves blocking the road and robbing them?" Li Li groaned in astonishment.
"Yes, my lord." Chen Zhi nodded and said: "The jungle in this area stretches for hundreds of miles, covering many counties and counties in Yuzhou, and bandits are very rampant. Moreover, these robbers are extremely treacherous, they will fight if they can beat them, and they will run away if they can't beat them, which is quite difficult. Plus. In recent years, wars have broken out in Yuzhou, and each county has its own affairs, so it is difficult to form a joint force and completely exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in the Runan area. ”
"Hehehe!" When Li Li heard this, he said, "This is a very interesting thing! A few years ago, there were hundreds of bandits and bandits of all sizes on the territory of our western Liang, which stretched for thousands of miles, and there were dozens of fierce horses that crisscrossed the desert and entrenched at the junction of the Han and the grassland. Together, these bandits, rogues, and horses amounted to nearly 100,000 horses, and most of them were light mounted bandits. But after the pacification of Xiliang Erzhou. In just two months, all the bandits, thieves and horses in the entire Xiliang territory were wiped out. Now our Xiliang army has about 100,000 light cavalry stationed on the two borders in the northwest, raiding the Yanbian barbarian tribes all year round, forcing them to either surrender or move their tribes. Far from the Han border. Nowadays, there is no barbarian tribe within 300 miles of the northwest of Yongzhou. Within two hundred miles of the northern border of Yongliang Prefecture, there are all my Han people. Everywhere I rode to Xiliang. Xiao Xiao bowed his head, the barbarians avoided it, and the soldiers pointed at him, and he was invincible.
I don't think about it, now I will come to Yuzhou, the hinterland of the Central Plains, and I still have to beware of the yellow turban thieves blocking the road and intercepting them. What a joke! ”
Between words. Li Lijian's eyebrows were raised, and a fierce killing intent burst out in his eyes, and his whole body was full of murderous aura and was compelling.
Seeing the lord Li Li surrounded by a murderous aura like a substance. It was like the realm of power possessed by a top powerhouse, and seeing this scene with his own eyes, Chen Zhifang knew that his lord turned out to be a top powerhouse who had at least the mid-level strength of a top general. Until this moment, Chen Zhi finally knew why his grandfather Chen Fang repeatedly told him that he must follow Li Li and not have two ambitions. The fact that Li Li possessed the martial arts of such a top-notch powerhouse was enough to make him loyal and follow; If you add the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops in Li Li's hands, as well as the powerful position he has, his choice to be loyal to Li Li is definitely a wise decision, and he will definitely benefit for life.
From this moment on, Chen Zhifang really regarded Li Li as a lord worthy of his loyalty, and he was convinced, instead of being forced to follow his grandfather's order as before.
Just when Chen Zhi was thinking about it, Li Zhi, who had always been taciturn, said in a deep voice: "What the lord said is extremely true. If these yellow turban thieves don't provoke us today, that's it. If they dare to intercept us and delay the lord's journey, then we will go on a killing spree and let them have no return! ”
"Haha!" Before Li Zhi's words fell, Huan Fei, who was ordered to walk behind the formation, rode his horse to Li Zhi's side, and said loudly: "What Zicheng said is very much in line with me!" In the autumn of the previous year, a certain led a thousand heavily armored iron horsemen to suppress 3,000 horse thieves in the West Sea, and those hateful horse thieves relied on light horses and fast horses, trying to escape from the desert. As a result, they were pursued for three days and three nights, and finally captured them in the desert, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and captured most of them. On the Dunhuang desert, the flying bear soldiers under a certain tent fought fiercely with the 30,000 Yueshi cavalry for half a month, and finally wiped them out. Subsequently, a certain relative led a large army to destroy five small Yue tribes in one fell swoop, capturing more than 70,000 people of the barbarian tribe, forcing the Yue tribe to flee to the Western Regions.
This time he traveled to the Central Plains with the lord, and Huan thought that he would not encounter a war, but he didn't expect that there would really be a guy who didn't have long eyes to come and send him to death. It's best that they dispatch tens of thousands of thieves at a time, so that it is challenging, otherwise it is not enough for Huan to plug his teeth! hahaha??????"
After Huan Fei boasted about his achievements, he seemed to be in a particularly comfortable mood and wanton daxiao. But his laughter didn't matter, but it hurt Chen Dao, who didn't know how bad, the loud laughter like a huge thunder shook Chen Zhi's ears and buzzed in his mind. Then he lost his mind, and the reins in his hand were taken off, and the horse under the seat was frightened, and suddenly galloped wildly, and was caught off guard, causing his body to slide off the horse.
"Woohoo!" At the moment when Chen Zhi was about to fall off the horse, Li Zhi suddenly reached out to help him, and the one-handed chain flew out to trap the frightened war horse. Immediately, he stabilized Chen Zhi's horse in time, so that Chen Zhi did not turn over and fall off the horse in danger, and made a fool of himself on the spot.
"Feihu, I repeatedly told you before, don't make a noise without reason, but you knowingly committed a crime, and you deserve to be punished! From now on, you will be punished for two days without speaking, remember? Seeing that Chen Zhi was deaf in both ears by Huan Fei's laughter, while the others had already taken precautions and blocked their ears in time, so that they were not affected, Li Li glared at Huan Fei angrily with deep helplessness, and said in a deep voice.
In fact, as soon as Huan Fei opened his mouth, he regretted it himself, knowing that he had made a mistake again this time. It's a pity that the laughter has already been heard, and even if he wants to, it is impossible for him to take it back. Sure enough, Chen Zhi, who had recently joined the team, didn't know the depth and didn't have the slightest defense, but he was too close to him, and as a result, he was so dizzy that he almost fell off his horse.
Seeing the lord's angry eyes, Huan Fei shrank his neck in fright, and stretched out his hand to cover his big mouth, for fear that he would make another sound and incur the lord's thunderous anger. However, it was already too late, and he still could not escape the fate of punishment, and he was silenced for two days, and he could no longer speak freely.
"What are you doing looking at me directly, and what do I ask you?" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Zhi's face a little pale, Li Li turned his head to look at Huan Fei, and asked angrily.
"The lord is angry, and the last general will rise up, and when he is happy, he gets a little carried away, and the result is 、、、hehehehe! The punishment that the lord said just now was heard by the generals, so he didn't dare to speak. Huan Fei smirked honestly.
Immediately, he rode his horse to Chen Zhi and said sincerely: "Brother, it is too reckless for your brother, and you have been offended!" When a certain family was born with a very loud voice, when he was a child in the Western Regions, a whistle could attract a herd of horses dozens of miles away, saving worry and effort. Brother, the first time you walked with someone, you didn't know the way, and you suffered, and you were very sorry in your brother's heart. Please forgive me! ”
"Huh?" Seeing Huan flying towards him, the dizzy Chen Zhi was stunned, and suddenly felt very embarrassed, and secretly complained that he was too useless. Although this incident started because of Huan Fei, it can't be said to be at fault, after all, Huan Fei only daxiao a few times, is it also wrong for others to laugh twice?
Chen Zhi is by no means an unreasonable person, let alone a small-bellied chicken intestine, and he has no room for people. He knew very well that he was too careless this time, and he neglected to take precautions, so he was in today's embarrassment. In fact, he had long seen that Huan Fei was a person with a loud voice, and his body was majestic and tall, different from ordinary people, and he must have something extraordinary. It's just that he never expected that the gap in strength between himself and Huan Fei would be so huge, so big that Huan Fei could shock himself with just the voice of Daxiao, and he must know that he also has the strength of the top generals at the peak of the lower rank, and he is only one chance away from breaking through to the top middle rank.
At the same time, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be sincerely amazed, Huan Fei was so strong!
