The next day, after breakfast, Li Zhiyun was preparing to go to the town when he suddenly heard a noise in the distance. He walked out of the tent and was about to ask the soldiers outside what happened? He saw Zhang Zheng running over in a hurry.

Zhang Zheng ran up to him and gasped: "Your Majesty, there is a group of robbers, about one hundred people in number, who are robbing the town."

"Robber?" Li Zhiyun heard this and said quickly, "Okay, hurry up and gather the team!"

Zhang Zheng guessed that he was going to fight the bandits, and said hesitantly: "But, there are more than a hundred of them, and we only have forty or fifty." After hearing this, Li Zhiyun glared and said, "Then we can't just watch the people suffer.

Ah! Go quickly!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zheng turned around to gather the team.

Li Zhiyun returned to the tent to get his pistol. This flintlock pistol was very bulky, more than a foot long, and was inconvenient to carry around, so he kept it in his saddle bag. After he took the pistol out, Zhang Zheng had already ordered the team

Gathered together.

Li Zhiyun and the others rushed to the town at a trot, only to see the bandits robbing and killing people. In the whole town, chickens were flying and dogs were barking, and every household was crying for their fathers and mothers. When the bandits saw the officers and soldiers coming, they were frightened at first.

After a big jump, I found out that there were not many of them, so I became more courageous. The bandits gathered together, holding swords and spears in hand, and charged towards them.

Half of the forty or fifty people brought by Li Zhiyun were equipped with muskets. Fifty steps away, the soldiers opened fire. The soldiers without muskets also used strong bows and crossbows. The bandits rushing in front were instantly killed.

A large area was knocked down. The robbers were shocked: What is this?

How could they be so powerful? They were all so frightened that they no longer dared to rush forward, so they had to turn around and flee. Others may not have expected this result, but Li Zhiyun had already expected it. Although it was his first time to participate in actual combat, he had no doubts about the bird.

The power of the gun is still very confident.

Li Zhiyun walked into a yard, and two robbers were dragging a girl. As soon as the robbers saw him coming in, they let go of the girl, drew their sabers and rushed towards him. Li Zhiyun hurriedly raised his gun and shot, knocking him down.

Rushing forward, he pulled the trigger again. This wheel is like a flintlock gun and can fire five rounds after each reload. The two robbers fell to the ground after being shot.

He twitched on the ground for a while, then kicked his legs and died. Li Zhiyun did not expect that he would kill two people with his own hands. Although they were just two robbers, he was so frightened that his hands and feet became weak, and his flintlock fell to the ground.

He stood there in a daze, and it was not until Zhang Zheng walked into the yard and called him that he came to his senses. His heartbeat was beating like a drum, and his face must have been extremely pale.

All the robbers who were not killed ran away, and calm returned to the town. At this time, the people came out of their houses tremblingly and gathered on the street to express their gratitude to the officers and soldiers who drove away the robbers. A man with a beard haired

spot

The white old man walked up to Li Zhiyun and asked with trembling lips: "Are you the army of the Tang Dynasty?" Before Li Zhiyun could answer, Cai Hu on the side said first: "We are the army of the Tang Dynasty, and this is our King Chu of the Tang Dynasty.

.”

"King of Chu?" The old man looked at Li Zhiyun and said, "Didn't King Qin come?"

"Come here, come here," Li Zhiyun said quickly, "We are here with King Qin."

"So, you are King Qin's army?"

"Yes, we are King Qin's army."

The old man turned around and said loudly to the people surrounding him: "Folks, they are King Qin's army. They are here to collect food. Let's donate food to them!" Among the crowd, a young man

He shouted worriedly: "Are you really King Qin's army?" Li Zhiyun said quickly: "Really, we will not lie to you!"

"Well, I will donate the food to King Qin!"

The surrounding people all agreed, and many people expressed on the spot that they would donate food to the King of Qin. After the people dispersed, Li Zhiyun ordered people to set up food donation points on the street. The people in the whole town took action, pushing their carts and shoulders.

Bags of grain were transported over. In less than an hour, Li Zhiyun collected a sufficient amount of grain.

Seeing the scene of people enthusiastically donating food, Li Zhiyun couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the second brother's status in the hearts of the people was so high. If he thought about it carefully, the reason why the people loved the second brother was not only because of his strict military discipline.

, to a hundred

There is nothing wrong with the surname Qiu. The most important thing is probably that the people believe that only the second brother can unify the world, end the war and restore peace to the people. The people's wish is actually very simple. They just want to live in peace.

This is where the second brother is better than him. The second brother has the world in mind and is dedicated to saving all people. He is born to be a sage monarch. Although he is a time traveler and knows more things than the second brother, in the end, he is just a human being.

Ordinary people do not have such a broad mind and cannot do anything without thinking about the world. What they value more is the relatives and friends around them. At most, when he sees the suffering of the people, he will feel some sympathy.

There were more than a dozen young men in the town. They packed their bags and asked to join the army of King Qin with the grain collection team. Li Zhiyun happily agreed.

The soldiers loaded the grain into the cart. Li Zhiyun said goodbye to the people in the town, then mounted his horse and led the team back home with a full load.

They transported the collected grain to Baibi City. There was a granary in the city. The grain collected from various places, as well as the grain transported from the Guanzhong area, were stored here and then distributed to various military camps as needed. Therefore, this place became

It is the distribution center for army supplies.

When a group of people drove a carriage into the city, they were blocked at the city gate for a while. In front of them were mules and horses carrying grain. After entering the city, Li Zhiyun saw many young men carrying baggage, chatting and laughing.

They walked past. He estimated that these should be young people who came from far and near to join the army.

When Li Zhiyun and the others drove the carriage to the granary, they found many vehicles filled with grain parked in the open space in front of the granary. A quartermaster who received them said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, your method really works, you see

"In just a few days, we have collected so much food from various places." Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "Just use it."

The second brother and Song Jingang confronted each other in the Baibi area. The second brother ordered that the wall be fortified and not go out, and they would fight the enemy for attrition, and only send troops other than the main force to disrupt the enemy's rear.

On this day, Li Zhiyun took Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu on horseback to Liyang Town. This is a large market town with more than a thousand households. The streets of the town are very lively with people coming and going. There are many people placed on both sides of the street.

There are stalls selling vegetables, cooked food, cloth and silk, as well as daily groceries and various knick-knacks. Although there is a war, people still have to live, so business is still booming.

The three of them were walking down the street with their horses, and five or six soldiers came towards them. They carried knives and swords, and wore scarlet leather armor. They should be soldiers of Song Jingang's army, because the leather armor worn by the Tang army was black. Liyang Town is located in the middle of the two armies, and it is not uncommon to meet soldiers from Song Jingang's army here. This is not a battlefield, everyone is here to have fun, so the officers and soldiers of the two armies basically reached a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other. When the soldiers passed by the three of them, they just glanced at them and walked over.

The three of them walked around the street for half an hour. When Li Zhiyun saw that the sun had climbed above his head, he said to his two followers: "Let's go find a restaurant and fill our stomachs." There was a restaurant in front of them that was selling wine. They walked over to the restaurant and took a look. The plaque on the door read: Ruyi Restaurant. They tied the reins to the hitching posts and walked in.

The lobby of this restaurant is quite spacious, with five or six tables set up. There are already three or four tables of guests, one of which is the soldiers wearing red leather armor they met on the street half an hour ago. The soldiers were drinking and talking noisily. Li Zhiyun and the others found an empty table and sat down. The waiter came over and wiped the table while asking them what they wanted to eat. Li Zhiyun ordered a few plates of stir-fried vegetables and hot steamed buns. After a while, the waiter brought the food and the three of them started eating.

At this time, several more soldiers walked in from outside the door. These people were all wearing black leather armor. There was only one empty table in the lobby, right next to the table of the soldiers wearing red leather armor. Those people walked over and sat down. Ordered food and drinks and started eating and drinking.

Li Zhiyun and the others finished their meal, paid the bill and were about to leave when a soldier in red leather armor said loudly: "Hey, have you seen a few bastards?" The soldier sitting next to him asked deliberately: "Are you there?" Where are they?" The soldier babbled to the table next to him: "Isn't that right? There are four or five of them." A soldier on the table next to him couldn't help it, stood up and glared: "Who are you calling a bastard? What?" The soldier said without any sign of weakness, "I'm just going to scold you! If you don't come out to fight, aren't you just cowering?"

"You are the ones who are cowering!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Li Zhiyun quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Forget it, forget it, everyone is here to eat, why not be calm? Don't affect the store's business." The soldier in red leather armor glanced at him. He glanced at him and said with disdain: "What do you know, you little kid? Is there any place for you to talk here?" Zhang Zheng, who was following Li Zhiyun, stared at him and said, "How can you talk?" The soldier saw that Zhang Zheng was tall and tall. Zhuang, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, a sinister look on his face, his mouth opened, and finally he did not dare to say a word. A soldier sitting opposite him picked up a glass of wine and persuaded him: "Forget it, stop talking, let's have a drink."
