Chapter 5 Homeless (Part 2) Before Li Jiancheng and others could leave, Liu Hongji and Li Xu immediately ordered the remaining brothers to take their horses and hide in the woods. Those who chose to stay and go to Bopi Village to rescue the siege had no regard for life or death. A hero, so Liu Hongji didn't need to talk nonsense to encourage him. He roughly organized his people into three brigades, leaving one team of brothers to guard around the forest, and then waved his hand and ordered the rest to rest in the forest.
Knowing that 80% of them would never come back this time, everyone felt more at ease. After a while, low snoring could be heard in the woods. Liu Hongji and Li Xu did not dare to sleep, so they patrolled along the periphery of the woods with their weapons in hand. After a moment, Liu Hongji slowed down and said apologetically: "I brought you to Liaodong. I wanted to give you a fortune, but who would have expected, instead I sent you to the edge of Mazhai Water..."
"Brother Liu, why did you say this? To be honest, my biggest wish at that time was just to get a job in the local area and become a captain. Hehe..." Li Xu pointed to the iron helmet on his head and started to drive it frankly. Joking, "I've already fallen in love with it like crazy. Even if I really die in battle, I won't have dishonored my ancestors in this life!"
"Look at your ambition!" Liu Hongji punched Li Xu sideways and scolded, "If I were you, I would have to become a general before I wanted to die in battle!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling so relaxed that they felt like they had gone back to the days when they walked back from the grassland hand in hand. Apart from friendship, there was no trace of dust.
"What is Brother Liu's life ambition? To be a general, or to be a champion?" Li Xu had laughed enough and asked one question at a time.
"Being a local governor, just like my father did!" Liu Hongji replied in a low voice. "My father did not make money during his lifetime. As a result, after his death, my mother and I were looked down upon by others. All our former relatives and friends suddenly became far away, as if I had just Like a plague!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "So, I am determined to be the governor and county governor in this life, so that my mother will no longer be looked down upon by others. If I have a son in the future, I will no longer be looked down upon by others. Bullying!"
"Brother Liu doesn't have a son?" Li Xu asked in surprise. He had been dating Liu Hongji for so long. He had never cared about whether the other party had a family. When he heard the other party mention children, he suddenly realized that Liu Hongji was already in his thirties! At this age, he was still young. Not only were childless people rare in their hometown, but even in the entire Sui Dynasty, they could not be found!
"Although I have a false title as your right servant, I don't have an official salary and can barely afford to eat. Whose daughter is willing to marry!" Liu Hongji shook his head with a wry smile.
"If we can go back alive, maybe the imperial court will promote my eldest brother to an official position again!" Li Xu said with a smile, and a bit of longing for the future flashed in his eyes. The three hundred thousand army was wiped out, but Liu Hongji took three hundred Many people go upstream and look at it from their own perspective. Such officials are the pillars of the Sui Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor should be able to appreciate them.
"The 300,000-strong army was defeated. The Emperor cannot reward us for the merits of a few small soldiers under any circumstances. Otherwise, the generals will be embarrassed. Therefore, what we did this time was an absolutely loss-making business. In addition to being worthy of our own conscience, , not many people will remember it!" Liu Hongji shook his head again, denying Li Xu's blind optimism.
"That's true!" Li Xu put on a depressed face, raised his leg and kicked away a dead branch, "But saving one by one, those people care!"
Liu Hongji turned his head in surprise, and suddenly found that the little brother next to him, who was half his age, actually spoke with a Zen spirit, "Yes, those who survive will remember it!" He said with a smile, and suddenly, his eyes shone brightly,
Alertly, he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.
"There's someone!" Li Xu also heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the woods. He rushed forward a few steps, holding a machete and hiding it not far behind the tree hair on the edge of the forest. Five horses galloped over. First, a single figure
He was so weak that he could hardly ride the war horse, but his arms tightly hugged the horse's neck.
"It's Yu Wenshiji, Wang Yuantong, and Lao Qi. Why did they come back again?" Liu Hongji let go of the handle of the knife and muttered unhappily.
If there are enemy troops nearby at this moment, Yu Wenshi and others will definitely be captured alive. The food protection warriors hidden in the forest will also be exposed because of their recklessness. But this is not the time to blame them. First find out whether Li Jiancheng and others are
Trouble is the first priority
"Young master Li is not in trouble. I, Lao Qi, feel that it is a bit unreasonable for everyone to drink wine and eat meat together every day and fight with others without Lao Qi following!" Qi Poning saw Li Xu and accompanied him.
Smile, explain in a low voice
"Zi Ying is such a coward, and he went up with a knife. I, Old Wang, turned around. If we all get together in the future, why don't you all press me down under your tongue? This deal, I, Old Wang, feel a little bit at a loss!"
"Wang Yuantong jumped off his horse and shouted with a playful smile.
"Keep your voice down, brothers are resting!" Liu Hongji scolded in a low voice, taking the reins of the horses from his two friends, his heart surging with warmth.
"The wimps of the Yuwen family won't want to have any friendship with you!" Yu Wenshiji was helped off his horse by Yu Wenzhong and another guard. He gasped and spit out his forked tongue, "The wimps of the Yuwen family don't want to be friends with you. The chance of surviving if you go forward seems to be
Once the trapped brothers are rescued, we will have more than 3,000 people here, and more than 3,000 people will go west together, which will definitely be safer than more than 400 people!"
At this time, no one was arguing with Yuwen Shiji anymore. Li Xu smiled generously, turned around and entered the depths of the woods, found a piece of felt from the pack horse, handed it to the Yuwen family, and motioned to the three of them.
Yu Wenshiji lay down to rest first but did not intend to let Liu and Li go. As soon as their bodies fell down, they immediately supported half of their heads with their arms and asked Li Xu in a low voice: "Two generals who are not afraid of death."
Do you have a strategy to defeat the enemy? Don’t tell me that you tricked more than 300 brothers to follow you, just to let them pounce on you and become the ghosts of Qianqiu!"
"Liu is worried about this matter. If the people in Bopi Village know that we are coming to help, the two sides should cooperate internally and externally, and they may not be able to break through the siege of the Goguryeo people. But now there are enemy troops everywhere, and it is really difficult to send in a message!" Liu Hongji said!
He handed over his hand and responded in a low voice. Although he had always had a bad impression of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Shiji's courage to return and live and die with everyone had already won his respect.
"The people in Bopi Village are not fools. After hearing the noise, are they still willing to sit back and wait to be killed?" Yuwen Shiji smiled and continued to sarcastically say
Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but feel happy. He squatted down and asked in a low voice: "The Prince Consort is saying that as long as we make the noise bigger, the people inside will rush out on their own!"
"They are now lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They will jump out at any opportunity. As for how to make the momentum bigger, I think it will not be difficult for you two brave generals who deserve nothing!"
"Please give me some advice from the Prince Consort, Commander-in-Chief!" Liu Hongji solemnly gave Yuwen Shiji a military salute and asked.
Yu Wenshiji speaks harshly and behaves strangely, but when he does not consider the interests of the family, his mind is one of the best among the children of the family. He said this, he must have thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy. For the safety of his brothers, Liu Hongji did not hesitate to
How many cold words will I receive from the other party?
"Aren't you two the best at setting fires? How did you burn the Turkic camp back then? This is how you continue to burn it tonight. Do you still need me to teach you!" Yuwen Shiji glanced at Liu Hongji with his pure white eyes,
scolded disdainfully
"Set fire? Burn the Turks?" Li Xu stood up suddenly. He instinctively touched the handle of the knife and looked at Yu Wenshi and his proud look. He instantly understood that the other party had no ill intentions.
"This is a great plan!" Liu Hongji and Li Xu quickly exchanged glances, and both read the word "admiration" from each other's hearts. There were only more than 300 brothers in the woods, but there were still nearly a thousand horses transporting grain.
If frightened horses are allowed to trample the camp, it will definitely be more effective than people trampling it. In the darkness, the fire is most obvious. As long as the fire in the enemy camp burns up, the brothers trapped in Bobo Village will know how to break out, no matter how slow their reaction is.
The opportunity has come
Thinking of this, the two of them bowed at the same time and saluted Yu Wenshiji again: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-law, for your advice!"
"The more people you can rescue, the more safety I will have! We should not owe anything!" Yu Wenshi replied with a sour face and a frown.
Although he still looked disgusting, Liu Hongji and Li Xu couldn't help but have a better impression of the son of the aristocratic family in front of them. They immediately used tree branches as pens and made detailed plans on the ground to attack the enemy camp in front of each other.
After everything had been discussed, he raised his head and asked Dui Yuwenshiji: "Master Governor, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
"You are better at killing and setting fires than I am!" Yu Wenshiji rolled his eyelids and continued to spray "venom" with his tongue.
"The prince-in-law and the commander-in-chief have given me the award. This fire was set by the Sui Dynasty. I only wanted to defeat the enemy and don't care about the reputation behind me!" Liu Hongji smiled and replied solemnly.
"Aren't you surprised, how do I know about your evil deeds of setting fires in Turks and stealing other people's horses?" When Yu Wenshi saw that Liu Hongji could not attack, he changed the topic and asked proudly.
"It's still early before nightfall. If the Governor is willing to speak, Liu is all ears. If Liu is unwilling to speak, how can Liu dare to force the Governor!" Liu Hongji handed over his hand again, using politeness as the best defensive weapon.
"Next time you offer a horse to the emperor, remember not to offer other people's first-class horses. There are several varieties. The Turks never sell them, unless you pay with a knife." Yu Wenshiji put down his arms, straightened his body, and said sourly
He said, "Also, that boy on the black horse, don't tell me that you don't know that the horse under your crotch is Teller, the special horse of the Turkic royal family!"
After saying that, ignoring the embarrassment of the two of them, "Venomous Snake" closed his eyes and snored softly.
