"It seems that you are quite confident. Well, you can talk about it. If you can satisfy me, the deal can be concluded."
Looking at the table for four, Li Shushi unabashedly pushed the bunch of copper coins in front of the shop owner, which was not a large amount but was a real windfall, while he looked at the four people in a playful manner.
A big man with an expectant expression after receiving the coins.
"Okay, no problem, as long as you keep your word." While swallowing the saliva in his mouth, a big man who was obviously the leader agreed to Li Shushi's proposal. Although these guys were not poor people, they looked at each other from their table.
The words are quite rich
You can see it in the food, but just because of this, what's the harm in being able to earn some peace of mind on the side? Life is not easy in these turbulent times, and every one you can save is one. Of course, maybe you can use this to catch up with Li Shushi's line.
the other party’s true purpose.
"If we say the biggest thing in the south is the war that broke out between the Feng family in Diaoyin County, the Le family in Feng Yi County, and Zhao Qinglong, a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army. Originally, the mountain road between Shang County and Feng Yi County was not very good.
Come on, if we encounter a situation like this again, and those guys are competing to block several important mountain passes between the two places, it will really be like a flying bird."
Seeing Li Shushi nodding, the man who seemed to be the leader stopped talking nonsense and introduced what he knew to Li Shushi.
"Oh? It's not difficult to understand that Zhao Qinglong, as a Yellow Turban Army member, is dissatisfied with the powerful government, but what's the grudge between the Feng family and the Le family? Moreover, Feng Yi County is an important place for the third auxiliary, so there is no one for them to start a war like this.
Are you here to take care of it?"
"I don't know the specific grudges between the two families, but I guess it is related to Zhao Qinglong. The Feng family is a powerful man from Diaoyin County, and the Nale family is said to be from Qiyi County in Fengyi County. The two parties were originally
It should be that well water cannot invade river water. But
It happened that Zhao Qinglong, after the failure of the Yellow Turban Army, managed to gather a group of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army from nowhere to attack the Qiyuan County seat at the southern end of Shangjun in the southern part of Diaoyin and the northern part of Qiqi, and was defeated by him, so this
It's a big trap."
The man who was suspected to be the leader was very talkative, and listening to his narration felt like listening to a storytelling. In this era of lack of entertainment, it was also a rare and good way to kill time. Therefore, the two tables of guests who were eating and drinking in peace also felt
It is obvious that they have focused their attention here, and the shop owner is even more interested, perhaps trying to turn it into a means of attracting customers.
"Speaking of it, the imperial court gathered a large number of troops in the Sanfu area to fight against the rebellious Qiang people. However, those Qiang people were very powerful. Although the imperial court was mostly soldiers of the Northern Army and veterans of the Yellow Turban Army, they were also
It was very hard to support them, so the Yellow Turban Army, a small person who is just a scabies disease compared to the Qiang people, could not take care of it for a while."
I think of the line that had to be issued in the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising due to repeated defeats due to the exhaustion of county soldiers, but was criticized by later generations: "Every place must be on guard against bandits and bandits. Order the governors of various states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and summon rebels. If
"Anyone who neglects or disrespects orders can be sued by subordinates." After thinking about the assertion of the guy who seemed to be the leader, Li Shushi understood somewhat.
"But after all, it was the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who raised their troops to rebel, and the court could not ignore it, so the Cheqi General Zhang issued a general order, saying that as long as there were rebels who could wipe out Zhao Qinglong's Yellow Turban Army, they would be recommended by Zhang Cheqi. But
It can be said that this made people excited, and the powerful people nearby recruited troops and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain fame. Among them, the most active ones were the Feng family of Diao Yin and the Le family of Qi Qi. Both parties showed their magical powers.
I want to get this skill."
The man who seemed to be the leader seemed to be in a good mood. Perhaps he had never been so noticed by so many people. His face, which was already a little tipsy due to the drunkenness, was now even more rosy. Even the three people around him were also talking about it.
So proud.
"Everyone knows what Shangjun is like, so the Feng family of Diaoyin probably wants to send their children to the hinterland of the Central Plains. If Taiyuan is not the best, Shangdang and even Xihe are much better than this place. The future way out is better than nesting.
Strong in this half-dead place. And Nale heard that they were Huns.
Although they are quite brave and good at fighting, they are despised by many of Feng Yi's wealthy families. It seems that they also intend to make a fortune based on their military exploits. It's just that the Qiang people are not that easy to deal with, and the Yellow Turban Army is compared to the ferocious Qiang people.
To humans, they are just like docile watchdogs. The Feng family is
Diaoyin is a big clan and can recruit a lot of people. Although the Le family can't compare with the other party in terms of the number of tribes, they have the blood of the Huns, so the strength of the tribe is higher than that of the other side. Logically speaking, if the two sides
If they cooperate, there is no chance that Zhao Qinglong will be spared, but who is Zhang?
There was only one recommended place for riders? So they were playing tricks on each other, and I even heard that they cooperated with Zhao Qinglong in order to overwhelm each other. As a result, Zhao Qinglong, who was destined to die, not only did not die but
After several battles, the team has expanded a lot."
The leader spoke in great detail, which gave Li Shushi a more detailed understanding of what was happening in the south. However, he still needed to wait for the information obtained by others to be compiled before making a decision.
However, Li Shushi is still very satisfied. After all, in addition to the complicated relationship between Feng, Le and Zhao Qinglong, Li Shushi has also obtained a lot of information, such as price information, road conditions along the way, and information about some possible bandits. However,
This information is also limited to the territory of Shangjun. Apparently because of the melee in Qiyuan, these guys at the four-person table were blocked in Shangjun.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to take a detour, but the problem is that there is really no way to go. To the west is the basically abandoned Beidi County and the grassland area, which is the border area between the Xianbei and Qiang people, and even the Huns and some
Small tribes also live there, so the situation is very chaotic. If you are not careful, you will be killed by an unknown force on a whim.
To the east is Xihe. The problem is that if you want to reach Hedong County, you have to cross the Yellow River and take the road Li Shushi took when he went to Xihe to take office. However, you need to pass through the Huns-controlled areas on the way, and Li Shushi is aware of the dangers. As for Shangjun
Connected to the east of the river
In the Yellow River in the remote area, that section not only has rapid currents but also has a large drop, and the hydrology at the bottom is also extremely complex. Otherwise, Mengmenguan in Lin County would not have been taken as seriously by Li Shushi. After all, it is the most suitable place within hundreds of miles nearby.
It's a place for ferry crossing.
The southern route, which was originally the fastest and safest, is now encountering a melee between three large forces and several small forces. Looking at the dishes ordered by the other party, you can tell that the other party is either a businessman or a wealthy person. If such a person intends to pass the customs, he will not be beaten by those
It’s strange that the powerful and almost bandit Yellow Turban Army peeled off a layer of skin. So, they can drink away their worries here.
Li Shushi settled the meal for them under their grateful eyes, and also gave them a hundred five-baht coins as intelligence fees. Although a large part of what he said just now was because the other party was blocked back here and wanted to be depressed.
Just to vent, but I did provide a lot of consultation to Li Shushi, and it seems that the other party has a lot of opinions on the attachment.
Being familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers, Li Shushi believed that the other party should be a local snake who often operates in this generation. Those consulting fees can be regarded as a thank you for the information they provided, or as an advance payment of gratitude fees in the hope of getting help from the other party.
.Build a good impression first, and it will be easy to continue talking about the rest of the matter.
"I think the young master is also a person of status. I think he also goes out to study and visit friends. This generation is familiar to me. Why don't we go together and have someone to take care of us? And if we can find more people, then the other party will be
Don’t dare to embarrass me easily. I’ll wait.”
But before Li Shushi could come up with his plan, the man who seemed to be the leader, who took over Li Shushi's copper coins and felt that Li Shushi was not arrogant in his treatment of others and kept his word, revealed his plan, and he also secretly cooperated with Li Shushi.
"Haha, that's a coincidence. I happen to have the same intention, so let's go together."
If Li Shushi only brought Dian Wei, Xu Chu and a few guards, then Li Shushi might have hesitated about the other party's purpose or other factors. But there were hundreds of guards around Li Shushi. As long as he didn't encounter the elite soldiers of the Hu people,
The Yellow Turban Army, a simple unit, would never be able to stop Li Shushi's team, not to mention that there was an outstanding scout like Cao Xing in the team.
So, when the team gathered at the city gate again, the guy who was suspected to be the leader stared at the hundreds of chilling troops at the city gate, and at a glance, he knew that they were veterans who had killed people and experienced wars, because that
The guy who is suspected to be the leader has traveled all over the country. In his opinion, maybe the Huya Camp and Yong Camp stationed in Sanfu can compete with them.
Of course, this huge team also gave the suspected leader more confidence in his own safety.
At the same time, this man also brought many companions with him, all of whom were powerful disciples of Fushi. They planned to go to the hinterland of the Central Plains to study under his master, but due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been postponed until now. However, their appearance was not entirely due to the suspected leader.
How good their eloquence is, but because they had already entered the city before Li Shushi’s troops
When they got the news, they originally had the desire to "send Li Shushi's troops out of the country as gifts". But now the suspected leader has provided them with a new option - to break through the border with Li Shushi's troops.
, this was obviously a better choice, so everyone followed the steps.
Of course, "escort money" is indispensable, and Li Shushi left all the handling of these matters to Zhang Xiu. Although this eldest brother has a somewhat straight-headed mind due to his martial arts training, he is also from a powerful background, especially during the six months of training during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
These guys are not far behind. And he also has a very useful identity - the nephew of Dong Zhuo's beloved general Zhang Ji.
Although this title is long and difficult to pronounce, everyone in Bingzhou knows who Dong Zhuo is, not to mention that Dong Feifei fought the Xianbei people more than once in Shangjun, and his life-threatening subordinates can also be called
His reputation has spread far and wide.
What? Do you think Zhang Xiu might be a fake? If Zhang Xiu is alone, others may believe it, but if you add the troops around Li Shushi, then no one would dare to doubt it. It’s hard to show the strength of hundreds these days.
Do you believe that the guys from Yayu Qiuci Huqi and Huya Camp troops who come out for a stroll have nothing to do with the army? Those powerful people will never believe it anyway.
So if there is a nephew of Dong Zhuo's favorite general Zhang Ji, then everything makes sense. As for Li Shushi, he is the grandson of Master Zhang Xiu. We are all a family. We understand, everyone understands.
In this way, when Li Shushi's team left Fushi County, the team had expanded to nearly 800 people. In order to ensure safety, those powerful guards were not as good as the personal guards Li Shushi had, but they were still strong.
They are very capable people, and some of them are even, in Dian Wei’s words, “our peers back then.”
Of course, the identity of the suspected leader is also clear. It sounds like he is really a traveling businessman.
