【Chapter 402】 Bandits are not easy either

Just as Li Li finished speaking, he inadvertently saw the west gate of Xujiazhuang under the mountain open again, and ten strong men slowly walked out with ploughing oxen.

"Alright, everyone prepare a little, let's get ready to go down the mountain!"

Seeing the situation under the mountain, Li Li immediately restrained his smile and whispered to everyone to prepare. Immediately, he turned his head and instructed Li Zhi: "The rear team led by Duan Xuan should also arrive, you go and pick it up." So that they do not have to go up the mountain, they line up directly at the junction and are ready for battle at any time. ”

"Lord, do we still have to fight today, who are we fighting, the Yellow Turban Army or Xujiazhuang?" Huan Fei was very hearing, and after hearing the words, he asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Li Li looked at the situation under the mountain and said meaningfully: "Right now, we must compete with the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise how will you accept apprentices." As for the future, it's hard to say, maybe you have to compete with the Xu brothers; If you don't speculate, it will be a fierce battle! ”

Huan Fei's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Oh? The meaning of the lord is 、、、、、、"

Li Li shook his head and said, "I don't mean anything extraneous. What I just said is just an intuition. This Xujiazhuang is not simple, with only a few thousand strong men can hold on to tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army for two years, do you think this is what ordinary villages can do? Since this village is extremely extraordinary, it will not be easy for us to achieve our goal. It's always right to be prepared. ”

"Well, what the lord said is very true, and the last general knows what to do." Although Huan Fei is unscrupulous, he is a smart man, and he has served under Li Li for several years. Hearing the strings and knowing the meaning of the song, this is not a difficult thing for him, as long as Li Li explains a little, he can understand it.

???????????

"Brother, they're coming."

Outside Xujiazhuang. He Man remounted his war horse and whispered to He Yi beside him.

Looking at the ploughing cattle led out by the ten strong men, He Yi said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "I hope they will miss the appointment, so that we don't have to fight again and again, but every time we return in vain!" ”

He Man's expression was slightly stunned, and he heard that his own brother still had the heart to attack Xujiazhuang, so he thought about it and comforted: "Brother doesn't have to be angry. Xujiazhuang is just a big village, and we can't afford to provoke the Xu brothers for this little profit. Neither of these brothers is an ordinary person, and if we can't get it in one hit, we will kill them on the spot. Then we will have to be vigilant everywhere in the days to come. The slightest negligence will be taken advantage of by them, and their lives will be in danger at all times; Instead of living in fear every day, it is better to maintain the status quo and save them from jumping over the wall and making desperate bets. Does my brother think so? ”

He Man's words made He Yi stunned in his heart. His expression couldn't help but change color, and he thought about it. A moment later. He nodded and said, "What Brother Xian said is not unreasonable. It's just that the foolish brother is unwilling! We have led the troops to attack Xujiazhuang several times, and during the siege, the two sides will inevitably have casualties on each other, and after more than a year, the two sides have accumulated deep grievances, and it is really difficult to give up. Even if we let them go today. In the future, once the situation in Yuzhou changes, they will definitely not let our brothers go easily, and sooner or later they will kill our two brothers. I don't know if these virtuous brothers have thought about it? ”

"This 、、、、、、" He Man was speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Because He Yi's words are reasonable. There is no impeccable approach, and it is highly likely that this kind of thing will happen, which is not speculation. It was impossible for Homan to answer, let alone refute. So for the first time, he thought carefully about how the two brothers should live in the future, and how to get out of this situation of facing danger all the time, throw off the thief hat on their heads, and be an upright person.

While thinking about it, He Man asked in a low voice, "Brother, our brother has been joining the Yellow Turban Army for many years, right?" ”

"Well, it's been a whole decade." He Yi said with a melancholy expression: "When we first joined the Yellow Turban Army, our two brothers just wanted to have a full meal, so as not to starve to death in the wilderness and become the rations of wild beasts. At first, we were all minions in the Yellow Turban Army, ignorantly following the great sages and good teachers to rebel, but fortunately we had a great life and did not die in the encirclement and suppression of the official army. Over the years, our brothers have relied on each other, traveled thousands of miles, and finally came to Runan, and after hundreds of battles, we have today's situation. All this is not easy to come by! ”

He Man nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you ever thought about what we should do in the future?" Are we going to hide in the mountains and be bandits all our lives? ”

"It's ??? I didn't think about it. I don't know why the virtuous brother has this question? He Yi asked in surprise.

He Man shook his head and said, "I also listened to what my brother said just now, and I just felt something. Why are the Xu brothers reluctant to join us, isn't it because we are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, spurned by the world, and shameful? It's not easy to be a bandit these days!

In fact, our brothers didn't want to be thieves, so they had no choice but to make a mistake and go astray, and as a result, they embarked on this road of no return. Now we are like rats crossing the street, and all the princes of the world want to exterminate us and enslave us. I heard that not long ago, after Cao Cao of Yanzhou exterminated the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army, he entered Qingzhou and suppressed 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop; And Jizhou Yuan Shao is also attacking the Changshan Yellow Turban Army, fighting with Qu Shuai Chu Yan repeatedly, and is still in a fierce battle. In this way, sooner or later, we will also follow in the footsteps of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and be exterminated by the princes of all parties, but I don't know who will lead the troops to encircle and suppress us. ”

After listening to He Man's words, He Yi's expression changed greatly, and the expression on his face changed again and again, and he became hideous and ruthless. I saw him gritting his teeth and saying, "What the virtuous brother said is good, sooner or later we will be killed by the army of princes." But whoever tries to exterminate us will pay the price, and our brother is not to be slaughtered! ”

He Man nodded gloomily and sighed, "Alas! Now I don't know what's going on in this world? All states and counties in the world are fighting, but the first thing they want to do is to suppress bandits, and they all want to take advantage of our Yellow Turban Army. Yanzhou Cao Cao made his fortune by suppressing bandits and incorporated 300,000 Qingzhou troops; Yuan Shao of Jizhou has learned the same, and now he is also suppressing bandits in Changshan Country. Youzhou Gongsun Zhan also became famous by suppressing bandits, known as the 'White Horse General'; Xuzhou Tao Qian also suppressed bandits before, but now he is targeted by Cao Cao, so he gave up.

After a careful count, it seems that only Xiliang Li Li does not need to rely on our Yellow Turban Army to become famous, and hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops under his command swept through the entire territory of Xiliang, beating the northern barbarians and the alien races in the Western Regions. After such a count, Li Li is a hero, and the husband should be like this! I heard that Li Li is only twenty-one years old, married to six wives who are as beautiful as immortals, and he is a person with extremely strong martial arts, with a rain of strategists and generals; There are four generals, five tiger generals, twelve lieutenant generals, and hundreds of leading captains who lead a battalion of men and horses. Tut-tut, it sounds exciting, enviable! ”

Listening to his cousin He Man's babbling story, He Yi was also fascinated, and his face was full of envy. However, he quickly calmed down and said in a low voice: "Xiliang Li Li is indeed amazingly powerful, and it is by no means comparable to other princes. However, you just said something wrong, it is not that Li Li did not send troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, but that he did not need to send a large army to suppress the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Xiliang. I heard last year that a team of less than 10,000 people under Li Li's command entered the Yellow Turban Army in Sili's territory, and its combat power was extremely strong, and only a few thousand people could defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army such as Yang Feng and Guo Tai. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army dared to go anywhere, but they didn't dare to go to Chang'an and Xiliang, at most, they were fighting in Sili, but they didn't dare to show up easily. The strength of Xiliang Li Li can be seen from this! ”

"The two leaders, Xu came to fulfill the previous agreement, please check the leader. If the two of you don't have anything else, then Xu will not be far away! Just as the He brothers were whispering, Xu Chu appeared in front of them again and said loudly.

"Huh?" He Yi looked up at Xu Chu who came on foot a few steps away, his expression was quite displeased, he turned over and dismounted with a gloomy face, walked to the strong man who was leading the ploughing ox, and carefully looked at the ten fat cows sent by Xu Chu.

Suddenly, he saw a fat cow with a particularly big belly, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Xu Manzi, didn't you say that there was no food in the village before, why did this fat cow eat with a round belly?" ”

Looking at the ploughing cow that He Yi was referring to, Xu Chu's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "You can see clearly, it is a cow with cubs in its belly, not the fat cow you want to eat all day long!" ”

"Oh?" He Yi was stunned when he heard this, and looked down, sure enough, there was a pair of thin nipples hanging under the cow's belly, it turned out that this was really a cow!

He Yi, who wanted to take the opportunity to find fault, looked at this cow with a big belly, was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel compassion suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, you guys take this cow back, it's really fucking unlucky!" ”

At first glance, Xu Chu wondered if he had heard it wrong, when did He Yi, the butcher, become so reasonable? However, he did not say anything to verify it, and waved his hand to signal the strong man to lead the cow away, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, big leader!" ”

"You don't have to thank me, the cottage is a group of five big and three rough reckless men, it's a pity that this cow with cubs is killed and eaten, and no one takes care of it when it is fed, it's too troublesome! So temporarily foster it on your farm, and wait until three months later, you will return my two fat cows! Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Chu with a dead face, and He Yi suddenly became angry in his heart, and said suspiciously.

Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched one after another, the expression on his face was extremely distorted, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and said in a sullen voice: "Since the big boss has completed the investigation, Xu will not accompany him, and he will leave!" ”
