【Chapter 409】 A vulgar encounter

(Thank you for the support of book friends Ranky and FGDFGEWREWR monthly passes!) )

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

On the official road to Changshan Country, Li Li rode his horse and galloped, the spring breeze was blowing, and the sun was warm, which was really pleasant.

And the war horse under his seat is extremely powerful, with four hooves flying, and each leap is more than two feet long, and the stride is quite steady and fast.

This shows how fast this horse can run!

This is a horse with a red body like fire, about one foot and two feet long from the top of the head to the tail, and about nine feet four inches high from the hooves to the shoulders, the four hooves are strong and powerful, the mane is smooth and shiny, and the muscle texture of the horse's body is clearly visible. In the run, the horse's snort is long and rhythmic, climbing mountains and wading through waters, prancing horses across streams, as if walking on the ground, but I don't know if it can wade through the water. Otherwise, based on the appearance of this horse and its swift running speed like the wind, it is easy for people who do not know the origin of this horse to see it as a red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch, because this horse is extremely similar to Lu Bu's mount, and it can almost be said to be the same.

In fact, this fiery red horse named "Hua Liu" and the red rabbit horse are of the same species, but they are the same bloodline of the same mother's compatriots, and they are both peerless horses.

However, only those who have taken a closer look at the red rabbit horse and the horse can discern the subtle differences between the two horses. The horse is more than a foot longer than the red rabbit horse and more than four inches tall at the shoulder, and the difference in size makes it run faster than the red rabbit horse. Other than that, there is no difference between the two fiery red war horses of the same vein, and they look exactly the same at first glance.

In addition, there is a huge difference between the two horses that is extremely easy to ignore but cannot be ignored, that is, the red rabbit horse is a world-famous horse, while the horse under Li Li is unknown, with the ability of a peerless horse, but it is far less famous than the red rabbit horse.

It is said that there are often thousands of horses in the world, but Bole is not often. But for the horses, it's the opposite. It has more talent and ability than the Red Rabbit Horse, but it has not encountered a hero who surpasses Lu Bu, so that it is still not famous in the world.

This horse is the divine horse that Han Sui took from Beigong Boyu in the past, and it has been Han Sui's mount ever since. Three years ago, Li Li defeated Han Sui twice, killing him so much that he lost his armor and even almost captured him alive, but because Han Sui was riding a horse under his crotch. In the end, he was allowed to flee far away. Until Li Li recovered Jincheng, Han Sui was dead, Yan Xing was seriously injured, and Cheng Gongying resisted stubbornly, when Li Li subdued Cheng Gongying. Li Zhi, who had invited Hua Tuo from Chang'an, hurriedly rushed into the stable in the backyard of the Han Mansion and found this horse.

If it is said that the first owner of the horse is Beigong Boyu. Then the second owner was a bit unexpected. Because the second owner of the horse is not Han Sui. is the "slave" Li Zhi, who once led the horse for Han Sui for several years.

As Dong Zhuo said before his death, just relying on Han Sui as a scholar, he categorically could not tame the horse. Even Beigong Boyu, the first owner of the horse, if he hadn't fed the horse with his own hands, he might not be able to control the horse, let alone tame this kind of horse. And the reason why Han Sui was able to drive the horse. is because he has Li Zhi who specially leads the horse for him, but Li Zhi can tame the horse. Therefore, the first person who can really tame the horse with his own ability is Li Zhi. And the second person who tamed this horse was Li Li, who was galloping on a horse in front of him.

Time has passed, and now the horse is at its peak, but the two princes who once drove it are no longer alive. After several tosses, it was in Li Li's hands, and it appeared on the land of the Central Plains for the first time, and it was able to gallop to its heart's content.

"Childe, Childe! Slow down, slow down, or I won't be able to catch up with you!" Seeing Li Li riding his horse for several miles, and then there was a bend at the foot of the mountain, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted urgently. And the people who traveled with him were Huan Fei, Li Zhi, Xu Chu and Ma Yunluo.

This time he went north to Jizhou, Li Li changed the entourage that went to Yuzhou before, and there were only five people with him, including Li Xuan, and a total of six people, including his own family.

Because the current situation in Jizhou is different from Yuzhou, this is Yuan Shao's world, and Yuzhou is currently a place where yellow turban thieves are raging.

At the beginning of this year, although Nanyang Yuan Shu had the intention of plotting against Yuzhou, he had too much appetite, and he wanted to plot against Yuzhou, but also wanted to capture Xuzhou, and even thought about Liu Biao's Jingzhou. It's a pity that he is greedy and can't chew much, and he has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses but has been stagnant, neither sending troops to Yuzhou, nor being able to defeat Jingzhou, but thinking that he is sitting and watching Cao Cao attack Xuzhou, dreaming that Cao Cao and Tao Qian will both lose, and he can sit and reap the benefits. Unexpectedly, after the beginning of spring, Cao Cao was reluctant to send troops, prompting Yuan Shu to dare not move lightly.

It was precisely under this mutual restraint that Li Li swaggered into Yuzhou, not only recruiting Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, Xu Ding and other three generals, but also abducting tens of thousands of horses under the command of the He brothers, and returning to Sili all the way unimpeded. Therefore, Li Li can be said to have made a lot of money on his trip to Yuzhou, but he didn't have to care about his own safety at all, because there were no strong princes in Yuzhou who could really pose a threat to him.

Compared with Yuzhou, Li Li can't be so easy to go north to Jizhou this time, because this is Yuan Benchu's territory. Since ancient times, there are many heroes in the land of Yan Zhao, and Yuan Shao, who occupies Jizhou, is now also a strong soldier, and is in the stage of rapid development of rapid growth. It was based on this situation that Li Li made up his mind to enter Jizhou to see with his own eyes how powerful Yuan Shao of Jizhou was, what his real strength was, how many soldiers and horses there were, how powerful his combat power was, and where the military generals were. However, he was extremely cautious when he entered Jizhou on this trip, and there were only five people accompanying him, but there were a large number of people pretending to follow him within thirty miles behind him.

This time, there were indeed a lot of people in the rear team who followed Li Li and his party into Jizhou, twice as many as when they entered Yuzhou. The rear team is still dominated by Duan Xuan, supplemented by Chen Zhi and He Man, and the three of them each lead a team of 100 people disguised as a homeless, caravan or rogue, to enter the territory of Jizhou, each team is ten miles apart, and they pass the news to each other once in half an hour, and always follow Li Li and his party to make sure that everything is perfect.

This was Li Xuan's idea, and Li Li gladly adopted it and immediately put it into action.

Sigh!

"Whew!" Near the bend of the mountain road, Li Li stopped his horse. Then he exhaled deeply and said to himself: "What a pleasure! Jizhou is really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, thousands of miles of fertile soil, a flat river, and rolling mountains on the northwest border! No wonder Jizhou has a population of millions, and it is really a good place for outstanding people, enough to raise millions of soldiers! ”

"Drive!" Just as Li Li was talking to himself, Li Xuan and Huan Fei rushed over on horseback. Li Xuan happened to hear Li Lizuihou's sentence "enough to raise a million soldiers", so while gasping for breath, he echoed: "What the lord said is good. Jizhou is home to millions of people. Thousands of miles of fertile fields, outstanding people, good business management, can indeed support a million troops. However, there is a premise for this, that is, to go north to sweep away Youzhou. Qingzhou in the south and state in the west. then captured Qingzhou and Yanzhou; And so on. Jizhou will be able to support millions of soldiers, and it will be invincible, and it will compete in the world!

However, this is easier said than done, but it is extremely difficult to implement. The border between Youzhou and Bingzhou is directly connected to the grassland tribes, and there are many small states in the east of Youzhou. Repeat offenders. The barbarian tribes and Xiaoxiao Fanstates faced by the two states of Youhe are by no means inferior to the countries of the Western Regions and the Qianghu tribes faced by my Xiliang, so a large number of troops need to be stationed on the border to deal with sudden wars at any time. And. There is another point that is different from my Xiliang, that is, there are many passes in my Xiliang, as long as you take a little caution, even if the barbarians and the countries of the Western Regions invade on a large scale, they will not be able to drive straight into the hinterland of my Xiliang. But the two states are not good, once the border pass is lost, the barbarian cavalry can drive straight into the Central Plains in the south. Therefore, Ji Youqing and the four states seem to be the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but in fact it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. However, the terrain of Montenegro is dangerous, stretching for hundreds of miles, spanning many states and counties, and it is enough to hide hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and it is a natural barrier! ”

Li Xuan's words made Li Li secretly frightened, which can be described as to hit the nail on the head and be extremely incisive. In later generations, the reason why the red bandits were able to win the world was that Montenegro was the place where the red bandits raised and hid their troops, accumulating more than ten years of work, and finally accumulating thick and thin, advancing in the east and west, and gradually conquering the world.

In history, Yuan Shao once occupied Hebei Youqing and four states, but was defeated by Cao Cao in a few years, the reason is not all due to the defeat of Guandu, but the instability of the border, internal and external troubles, so that the once invincible Yuan League's main army was defeated like a mountain, and collapsed. However, it took Cao Cao eight years to recover Yuan Shao's land, which shows that Yuan Shao's defeat can be attributed to the battle of Guandu, and the unpeaceful border is the fundamental reason for his complete defeat. If Yuan Shao can vigorously sweep the rear border like Li Li is now, even if Guandu is defeated, he will not collapse, even if he sits in the city, he can resist the attack of Cao Cao's army. It's a pity that he met a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door, how could he not be defeated under the attack of the two? After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he had to spend a lot of effort to drive away the wolves, so it took him several years to completely occupy Yuan Shao's land.

On the official road, Li Li rode his horse forward while thinking about things, and unconsciously walked in front of Li Xuan and the others, hundreds of steps away from them, that is, the distance of a mountain road turn.

"Tut-tut! Uncle wanted to take his brothers down the mountain to fight the autumn breeze today, but he didn't think about it, he went out to make good luck, and he was destined to commit peach blossoms! I actually met a group of beautiful girls, as well as five big cars of priceless property, God blessed! hahaha??????"

Li Li, who was pondering things, was suddenly interrupted by the unbridled laughter in front of the mountain road, so he looked up with a very unhappy expression.

But I saw that on the mountain road more than 100 steps away, hundreds of robbers surrounded five carriages full of goods, unscrupulously opened the packages on the carts, and were crazy with surprise. And a big man who looked like a bandit leader carried a big knife on his shoulder, took a figure-eight step, stopped a canopy carriage in front, and grabbed the white arm of the woman in the car, which frightened the woman into screaming.

The strong man and bandit leader laughed wildly excitedly, shouting: "Little lady, you scream, even if you cut your throat, no one dares to save you, you accept your fate!" Haha! ”

Seeing this scene in front of him at first glance, Li Li couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Fuck! It's fucking bad luck that such a vulgar thing was actually touched by me! ”
