Walking on the country road, Li Huguo was leading a thousand men and three brothers behind him.
The average person in the team is the original Yellow Turban Army. Liao Hua and Guan Erlunzi have been training them these days, and everyone is working very hard. After all, they have now transformed from the Yellow Turban Army into an official army, able to eat public meals, and every month There is also a military salary of two taels of silver. Compared with the original days, such days are simply in the sky or on the earth, or there is no comparison at all.
Many of them have already settled down in Hongnong County, or have asked someone to bring their wives, children, and children over. It can be said that they have already taken root.
Although Liao Hua and the others didn't say anything, they were still very grateful to Li Huguo in their hearts.
In this chaotic world, who wants to be a yellow turban thief? It's not forced by the situation, it's forced.
The group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain and had a peaceful journey. However, they did not expect that when they arrived at Dongcun Village, there was no one around. It was as if all the villagers here had evaporated in an instant. Li Huguo was also curious and immediately dismounted. We walked forward and went to the village to look for traces.
However, the result was as he expected, everyone here left, and he didn't know what happened.
Everyone also dismounted and came to the village. However, this strange village exuded a very dangerous smell. Li Yuguo's feeling told him that something was about to happen.
At this time, suddenly a house in the distance opened the door, and Zhou Cang said in shock: "Well, aren't all the people in this village dead? Then this village became a ghost village, and they all wanted to die." Come and claim your life from us.”
"You bastard, you are not the one who killed them, and we have never been together for eight lifetimes, and we have never been here. I think they are hiding and preparing to give us a welcome ceremony. Just watch." , and later they will come over with pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep to entertain us, and then let us eat and drink enough to go fight the bandits." Guan Er said.
But at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from all directions, and Li Hugo was shocked, because at this time, a large number of people appeared near the pond, among the houses, in the woods on the mountains, in the livestock sheds, and even on the roofs. Many of these people were wearing T-shirts. Skins, holding weapons.
"No, this is an ambush!" Li Yuguo exclaimed, he got on his horse, but unexpectedly, a group of thieves appeared behind them, and they surrounded them and made dumplings.
"Please report that these are 300 people. I don't see where the 300 people are. They are clearly 3,000 people. Damn... we fell into the trap!" Liao Hua spat on the ground and had already used the big knife behind him. Got it.
"There are two possibilities. One is that the intelligence is wrong, and the other is... someone is plotting to kill us. It must be that we came to Hongnong County and violated the interests of some people. They want to get rid of us." Li Huguo said.
On the roof, a man wearing a tiger skin carried a nine-ring gold-backed machete on his shoulder. He yelled loudly: "You are finally here. You know, you officers and soldiers I’ll come over after hearing the news!”
"Bold thieves, openly attacking the officers and soldiers, are you planning to go against the entire imperial court?" Liao Hua shouted.
The bandit leader laughed loudly, licked the blade with his tongue, and said: "The imperial court? That bullshit imperial court. Who doesn't know that things have changed in the capital now? Master Dong Zhuo led the unparalleled general Lu Bu to take control of the imperial court, and deposed general Liu Bian." It was abolished and a new emperor Liu Xie was established. Now he is holding the emperor to order the princes. It seems that the surname of this great Han Dynasty is not Liu, but Dong! Don't talk to me about the court, we are bandits in the Eighteen Mountains of Fujian The purpose of joining forces is to wipe out these magnificent officers and soldiers like you here!"
"Bold!" Li Yuguo shouted and took down the Sun-Moon Sword. The slender handle was held by Li Yuguo at the end. He said, "You are seeking your own death. A bunch of thieves just want to fight our regular army?"
"Oh, you pretty boy, I heard that you are the new Li Yuguo, right? I know that your sister is Zou Xiangyu, the wife of Zhang Ji, the prefect of Hongnong County, but this Zou Xiangyu is so beautiful, but it is a pity that she is in her prime years. But I have to live with a sick man. Zhang Ji is seriously ill with lung disease and he doesn't know when he will fart. After Zhang Ji farts, I will go down the mountain and snatch Zou Xiangyu to be my wife!" The bandit laughed loudly. laugh.
"It seems that you are quite well-informed? Who asked you to ambush here?" Li Yuguo immediately smelled a conspiracy. Sure enough, someone was harming him.
The man said coldly: "I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname. It's Dongtiao Mountain who is in charge, and Wang Ergou, who is known as the Mountain Dragon, is the one! Just think about it, just put down your weapon obediently, and then stand there and be a living person." Let me kill you at the target, otherwise I will slice you into pieces, smear them with sauce and send them to the mountains for wild beasts and wolves to eat!"
The mountain dragon shouted, he was very good at talking.
"A mountain-walking dragon? I think it's more like a mountain-walking insect!" Li Hugo said.
Being ridiculed by Li Yuguo, this dragon became angry and roared: "I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. Young men, let me deal with these officers and soldiers!"
There are eighteen mountain villages in Hongnong County. Li Yuguo has also heard about this. He heard that these mountain bandits usually work as each other's horns and take advantage of the natural dangers to do evil in the vicinity. When a bandit encounters an encirclement and suppression by the army, other bandits from the Seventeenth Route will go over to help.
Therefore, the Eighteen Villages are quite difficult to deal with. Even a powerful figure like Zhang Ji cannot completely pull out the cancer, which shows how troublesome it is.
Of course, this is also because Hongnong County itself is a small place. Although it is a county in name, it is actually a quite small place. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only so many villages. The one with the most people is Hongnong. It is a county town, but in fact there are only a few hundred thousand people in the county town, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. When the Yellow Turbans attacked, there were several fierce battles here, and almost all the young and middle-aged people died. .
Most of the bandits here were also Yellow Turban bandits, and Zhang Ji did not take action against them because he had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Li Yuguo knew that to be precise, there should be only 8,000 people.
There are only 8,000 people under a county guard. If you tell me, others will probably laugh. Compare it to Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou City. Although Xuzhou City is not much larger than Hongnong County, it has a larger population base, so the number of soldiers and horses can reach ten. Thousands of people.
At this time, the bandits came over in a dark way. Li Yuguo held the knife in both hands and shouted angrily: "Brothers, let's get to work!"
"Roar!" The soldiers behind Li Yuguo were also eager to give themselves a perfect opening match.
