The big man is on the run

Chapter 16 Xiaozhi Run!
Dong Wan's carriage drove out of the barracks, Wang Yue was driving in front, Liu Yi, Xu Huang and several soldiers followed behind on horseback.

It is not yet so miserable that the Wei and Jin Dynasties used bullock carts as a means of transportation. Not only the horse farms in Liangzhou and Bingzhou are in the hands of big men, but even the large horse farms in Guanzhong, such as Shanglinyuan and Shayuan, still have many horses in stock. .

All the squares in Chang'an were closed, and the military disaster a while ago brought irreparable disasters to the people, so that Liu Yi rode on the long street, and both sides were empty, without a person, just like a dead city.

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood."

Xu Huang used declarative sentences, obviously Liu Yi's unhappiness was hard to hide.

"Gongming, you said I want to do something, why is it so difficult?" Liu Yi made a rare complaint, feeling really panicked.

"Your Majesty, this is a troubled time, and the soldiers in your hands are the capital of the generals' glory and wealth."

Liu Yi was silent for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, but also honest: "Yes, if I hadn't been careful, I'm afraid it would have been perfunctory."

"Your Majesty, a farmer depends on the season when he farms. He has worked hard for a year but he can't produce a single grain of rice. If God doesn't show his face, the whole family will flee from famine or even starve to death. Merchants have to travel north and south to do business, and wars and disasters have to bite the bullet. At least they don't have to be caught." Arrested to serve in corvee. When I said this, I had no other meaning. I just wanted to tell His Majesty that it is difficult to achieve great things in the world, and it is even more difficult to achieve great things. It starts with such small things as the human heart.”

Xu Huang's rare long speech, he turned his head and said sincerely to Liu Yi.

"Your Majesty must know that capable people are all for their own wealth, wealth, and reputation. Your Majesty naturally has these advantages, and you must make good use of them."

"That's what Gongming said."

Liu Yi asked: "Gong Ming was moved by the promise of glory, wealth and fame?"

"No."

Xu Huang looked down at his big axe, and said in a deep voice, "I was moved by the heroic spirit of His Majesty."

"Heroic pride?"

"Use the soldiers in your hands to pacify things that are difficult to pacify with all your strength. Even if there are many enemies, even if you lose the enemy, you will go."

Liu Yi was stunned, and immediately laughed out loud: "Well said, it should be clear."

Liu Yi took Xu Huang's wine gourd, gulped it down, and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Xu Huang also smiled, the so-called main worry about humiliation, since he has decided to follow the emperor, even if there is no good solution.

But he also had to tell the emperor what he wanted to say. This was the experience he had summed up from failures when he hit a wall half his life.

Even if it's useless, it should be a heart-to-heart talk, soothing and soothing.

The two stopped talking, and Liu Yi followed Jiu Jin to gallop forward, his equestrian skills improved a lot compared to before.

Liu Yi was pondering how to separate the two factions of Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an City, and send a faction or some generals to lead troops back east with him.

If separated, which one will come out?

Li Jue has more soldiers, and he is smarter than Guo Bang, the iron man, and Li Jue has stronger control over his own faction.

In Li Jue's faction, apart from his own army as the main body, there are a small number of Qianghu mercenaries and Yang Feng of the Baibo army.

And Guo Si has a simple and straightforward personality, and he has only a cooperative relationship with Dong Cheng and Yang Ding in the faction.

In this kind of relationship, Dong Cheng is out of reporting to the group to keep warm, and so is Yang Ding.

But Yang Ding's person, Liu Yi, didn't know much about him. He just heard that he was from a noble family in Liangzhou and had an arrogant personality.

If Li Jue's faction returns east with him, then the only person he needs to deal with is Li Jue, the leader of the army. The advantage is that he doesn't need to think too much, just study how to deal with Li Jue.

If the Guo Si faction returns east with him, then he will have to face many military leaders. The advantage is that the strength of these military leaders is not obvious, so there is room for manipulation.

And although Dong Chengdong Pangpang is very selfish, he can win over to his side after all.

As for the two leaders of the Liangzhou army outside - Duan Yan and Zhang Ji, Liu Yi hardly knew anything.

The only knowledge I have is limited to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series. I know that Zhang Ji has a nephew named Zhang Xiu, and that his aunt Zou is so beautiful that even Cao thief made a "little mistake".

Just like a math problem with many parameters, how to choose the most suitable answer among countless permutations and combinations really gave Liu Yi a headache.

The most embarrassing thing is that not only are the reference conditions given insufficient, he can't even find a tutor!

For Jia Xu, a poisonous man who is wise and protects his life, Liu Yi speculates with the best of intentions, but he can't really count on him to help him much.

The smarter people are, the more cautious they are when making choices.

Liu Yi didn't think that Jia Xu would make a show of accepting his head and worshiping him. One must know that Dong Cheng, whose intelligence was definitely much lower than Jia Xu's, hadn't been completely handled by him. Dong Cheng still had an in-law relationship.

Dong Chenghua didn't hold back his hands, he was respectful on the surface but perfunctory, he firmly grasped the military power and refused to let the emperor get involved.

Hey, it's still the same sentence, if there is a top counselor who is willing to work with him to restore the Han Dynasty, it would be great.

Wolongfengchu seems to be a child now, right?

In fact, the juvenile body is also fine!It's a pity that Nanyang is too far away.

As for Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Xun Yu, they have all been divided up by the princes.

Just as Liu Yi was thinking wildly, there was a sudden chaotic movement from the square on the right.

"Old Wang, you take Dong Guiren back to the palace first, and Gong Ming and I will go and have a look."

When Dong Wan heard this, she stuck out her little head from the carriage.

For Liu Yi, this is the first girl he has ever met, whose eyes are all about him.

The two of them didn't say anything, Liu Yi waved his hand.

And Wang Yue, who has been in Chang'an for many years, knows how brave this young general Xu Huang is. He is a fierce general who can fight against dozens of heavily armored soldiers in foot combat. Now riding a horse is not a combat power. Doubling up the concept.

At most, green-skinned scoundrels participated in the affairs in Chang'an Square, and this kind of boundary Xu Huang was enough to keep the emperor safe and sound.

But after all, he was still worried, and the old man Wang strongly urged the emperor to keep two soldiers by his side before taking Dong Wan back to the palace.

"drive!"

Liu Yi was wearing armor and was guarded by Xu Huang and two soldiers. Naturally, he was not in danger of safety, so he rode his horse directly into the square on the right.

While galloping the horse, Liu Yi breathed the long-lost cool breeze.

The scene receded rapidly in front of his eyes. This sense of speed made his heart beat faster, and he even felt intoxicated.

"what!!"

With a woman's scream, the whole workshop became chaotic, people scattered and left, Liu Yi even had to slow down the speed of the horse to avoid trampling on innocent people.

The place of accident is not far away.

Besides, with the rampage of Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an, the original security system in Chang'an has long since disappeared, and a gang composed of local green-skinned scoundrels replaced the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to take over the maintenance of order in the workshop.

Smelly water, mud, human and animal feces, and domestic garbage are piled all over the ground on both sides of the green brick square street, which makes people want to vomit.

This kind of living environment is still in midsummer, won't there be epidemics?

The prostitute women and children with straw signs stuck in their backs timidly watched the four knights coming on tall horses.

And in front of a little beggar with no legs, a string of dark red blood was leading into the alley.

Liu Yi frowned and got off the horse, looked at the little beggar with numb and empty eyes, and lifted the numbness on his leg, and understood what was going on almost instantly.

"Grass!"

Liu Yi looked at the little beggar whose legs had been cut off, with those bright eyes, and felt distressed.

The human traffickers who pick raw and cut them up may not know how many little beggars are used by them as a tool to exploit sympathy for profit.

And if it weren't for Li Guo's army to disrupt Chang'an, maybe these children would still grow up healthily in the arms of their parents.

An inexplicable sense of guilt rose from his heart.

Li Jue and Guo Si deserve to be killed!

"We belong to Habayashi Wei, you, tell me what happened just now?"

In front of the leather armor and ring head knife, the pointed old woman quickly explained all this.

It turned out that it was the local rogue who was secretly monitoring the little beggar, and found that the little beggar was asking for help from two hungry scholars who were a little weak in footsteps, so he went forward to chase him away, but was cut by one of the scholars with his sword drawn.

The rascal clutched his stomach and fled to the stronghold of the gang. The two scholars also followed closely, and not long after, Liu Yi, Xu Huang and four others arrived on horseback.

"You stay and watch the horses, the three of us chase after them on foot."

I don't know if it's because of anger or alcohol, but Liu Yi's face, which was hidden under the mask, turned red, only a pair of blood-red eyes were exposed.

Xu Huang was also resentful, he held a big ax to hit the vanguard, and chased forward with another subordinate and Liu Yi.

Things were not as complicated as imagined. There were no ambushes in the narrow alleys, no chains and nets aimed at the head, and what bows and crossbows fired continuously, and spears and halberds stabbed randomly.

On the way of following the bloodstains and footprints, no accident happened.

At the end of the walk was a yellow mud thatched hut. One scoundrel inside had been hacked to death, and the other two had been hacked.

The person who died was a rascal with blue and white hairtail tattoos all over his back. He died at the door, only half of his body crawled in, his back was full of sword wounds, and the hairtail tattoos were all chopped off.

The murderer didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come so quickly, it took only a few dozen breaths before he came in front of them.

But the righteous men who killed people inside saw the officers and soldiers arriving, but fled in despair!
The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that those who arrest the dead, steal their wives, sell people, rape, and forge seals will abandon the market for one crime and buy twelve taels of gold.

It stands to reason that killing a beggar for the purpose of rescuing a beggar who was harvested and cut off should be regarded as a reward rather than a punishment, but the Han law did not stipulate this!
The Han law only stipulates that people who rob others and sell them into slavery, who are killed or captured, can be counted as rewards.

Therefore, although according to the social atmosphere, behaviors based on loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are likely to be acquitted.

But what if?
In case they were directly arrested and beheaded, or their legs were broken in prison, they would not dare to take the risk.

So the two scholars decisively chose to run away.

And the most terrible thing is that the three officers and soldiers blocked the two entrances and exits of the house one at a time!

The left and right sides of the yellow mud thatched house are still a dead end!

Behind the two scholars who couldn't escape, there was a shivering little lady hiding.

Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, one of the tall scholars almost instinctively dragged the other to continue running away.

Another thin scholar shook his head after hesitating for a moment.

The tall scholar didn't hesitate, he threw his sword and wanted to escape from the house. As soon as he grabbed the eaves of the house with his hands, he said behind him without looking back: "Xiaozhi, run!"

However. I run very fast.

"call out!"

Xu Huang took off the bow and arrow from his back, and the arrows were like shooting stars, directly nailing the scholar's robe to the eaves of the dwelling.

"Come down by yourself, or the next arrow will shoot your head."

"Zijing, you didn't kill people, come down."

The slender scholar saluted Liu Yi and said, "Fu Feng Fa is upright, one person does one thing and one person does it."
