Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Seeing that there seemed to be ambushes in the primeval forest, Liu Qi said that he didn't need to worry about that, just rushed forward, but Chen Wen couldn't be careless, and tightened the bag he was carrying with his hands. And Liu Bang Jinjian, things that are more important than life, can't be lost.

Chen Wen took out the bow and arrow on his back, thinking that if there were a few ambushes in the pine forest, he would shoot them quickly; if there were a large number of ambushes, he would be able to see who was the leader and give him an arrow. This is called catching a thief. Capture the king first.

Holding the Goujian sword in his hand, Liu Qi stepped forward with his horse on his back. In front of him was the place where he once camped on the banks of the Yangtze River to catch crocodiles. He had to rush to an open area to fight. He couldn't let go of his hands and feet in the dense forest of towering ancient pines.

The strange thing is that Liu Qi and Chen Wen rushed out of the primeval forest nervously and came to the open area. They didn't encounter cold arrows, and they didn't hear the sound of ambush soldiers shouting to kill.Liu Qi was puzzled, something was wrong, he clearly saw the forest leaves in front of him stirring, and the wind was blowing everywhere.

Liu Qi tightened the reins with a cry, his horse neighed, and when he turned his head to look, it was another false alarm. He saw a huge ape chasing Liu Qi and Chen Wen with all his might, followed by A large group of twittering apes arrived, and the suspected ambushes in the pine forest that Chen Wen saw turned out to be apes from the primeval forest to see him off.

Liu Qi and Chen Wen looked at each other and smiled, that giant ape was the ape king who saved everyone's life in the battle with tens of thousands of tomb rats in Wangshan King Chu's tomb.

The two dismounted quickly and waited for the ape king to come over. In order to catch up with Liu Qi, the ape king ignored the imitation of walking upright and ran on all fours, but the ape's leg was injured by a stone falling from the stone gate of the tomb of the king of Chu. , or run slower than a horse.

To show his friendship to the ape king, Liu Qi took a few steps forward, patted the ape king's shoulder when he ran up to him and straightened up, and called affectionately, "Brother ape."

The ape king laughed loudly, and squeaked a few words. Although he couldn't understand what he said, Liu Qi roughly guessed the meaning of the king based on the shape of the ape king's lips. Could it be that he met Hu Banxian in front of the Longmen Square, and Liu Qi pulled out the Goujian sword The ape king saw the scene where everyone bowed down and proclaimed themselves king on the ground?And understood by the ape king?

This time the king of apes did not pat Liu Qi on the shoulder, but maintained his respect for Liu Qi. He squeaked a few more times, and waved his hand at the apes, and saw a commotion among the apes. Four or five apes imitated humans to walk upright. With neat steps, he brought up a big tiger skin.

The ape lifted the tiger skin to Liu Qi's feet and put it down flat, but saw that the tiger skin was golden yellow, and the fur swayed in golden waves with the wind in the river. Although it was a tiger skin, it still gave off a faint tiger power when lying on the ground.

Liu Qi inspected the tiger's skin and found that the incision from the tiger's belly was uneven, crooked as if cut by a sharp stone tool, it was definitely not man-made.It was also seen that the tiger skin was damaged in several places, which were obviously caught by the claws of the ape. Judging from the whole yellow tiger skin, it looked like a strong South China tiger. Learning how humans cherish tiger skins, he peeled off the tiger skins and presented the tiger skins to a human being who can be called a king and respected by apes - the eldest son Liu Qi.

Liu Qi exclaimed, oh my god, there is no natural reason, the ferocious South China tiger was killed by the ape, the monkey skinned the tiger, it really is killing a tiger in the mountains, the ape claims to be king.

Looking at the precious tiger skin in front of him, there is no doubt that this ape king is probably much stronger than E Huan. Although the apes are apes, they have human nature. From a certain point of view, they are still the ancestors of human beings. Over time, we will be able to communicate well with each other.

Since the ape king sincerely offered the tiger skin, how could Liu Qi not accept it?Liu Qi bowed his hands to the ape king, "Thank you, brother ape." He asked Chen Wen to put the tiger skin in a bag on the horse's back, and he happily accepted it.

The ape king bared his teeth and grinned again. The ape king at this time, Liu Qi didn't look very ugly, he was quite cute.The ape king who can skin a tiger respects Liu Qi so much, which shows that human beings are so strong that even the ape king who can kill a tiger respects three points.

The ape king offered tiger skins, and the harmonious coexistence of humans and beasts should be the most wonderful thing in nature.

Liu Qi took the tiger skin presented by the ape king, put on the saddle, and immediately bowed his hands to the ape king, and galloped with Chen Wen.

After driving not far away, he heard the sound of thumping behind him. Liu Qi turned his head and saw that the ape king was running all the way with the horse on all fours. I didn't come here.

Seeing this, Chen Wen said, "My lord, I'm afraid the Ape King wants us to take it with us."

Seeing the ape king limping and struggling, Liu Qi couldn't bear it anymore, stopped his horse, waited for the ape king to come up, and asked, "Brother ape, what is this?"

The ape king was a little out of breath, squeaked a few times, and rubbed against Liu Qi's thigh with his thick mouth, with a begging look in his eyes, it was obvious that the ape king wanted to go with Liu Qi.

Liu Qi hesitated for a while, how could he go so far away with the Ape King?Isn't it good for the ape king to be king in the primeval forest?Why do you have to follow humans?

Chen Wen said: "Young Master, bring the Ape King, it saved our lives."

"Okay." Liu Qi patted the ape king on the shoulder and rode his horse forward. The ape king jumped up happily, tore off the bag on the horse's back three times, put it around his neck, and blew a With a loud whistle, the apes at the edge of the primeval forest scattered chirping.

Liu Qi slowed down the speed of the horse, but the ape king was very excited and ran in front of the horse. After running for a while, Liu Qi thought about running like this. They discussed while riding, and the result of the discussion was to go to Dangyang at night to rest for a night, borrow a carriage from Jiang Wan, the magistrate of Dangyang county, and take the ape king back to Xiangyang.

Liu Qi, Chen Wen and the ape king hurried for several hours, and it was already late at night when they arrived in Dangyang City.

Dangyang still imposed a curfew, because the city gate guards knew Liu Qi and Chen Wen, so they opened the city gate to let them in.

Liu Qi and Chen Wen took the ape king directly to the county magistrate's posthouse, and were told that the county magistrate Jiang Wan had gone to Lingling, and Jiang Wan told the guards in the hall that if the eldest son Liu Qi came, he had to receive him and prepared special preparations for him. A sturdy carriage was sent to Mr. Liu Qi.

Jiang Wan seemed to have counted on Liu Qi's coming, so he reserved a few upper rooms, but Jiang Wan didn't expect that Liu Qi and Chen Wen would only bring a great ape to Dangyang, while E Huan and the ten bronze guards would pass by Dangyang. Not coming together.

Yu Dangyang rested for one night, got up early the next morning, took the carriage with him, took the ape king, and the orangutan in the same carriage, and went straight to Xiangyang without encountering any obstacles or robbers along the way. .

When Liu Qi left Xiangyang, he left the city overnight from Ehuan's garrison at the west gate, and entered through the main gate when he returned to the city.

On the main road into the city, people in twos and threes can see people fleeing with their children and children.

After Liu Qi and Chen Wen got off their horses to inquire, they learned that wars continued in the north, and agricultural production was paralyzed.Of course, according to historical records, it was not only a large number of civilians who had escaped the war that flooded into Jingzhou in the next few years, but also many virtuous and insightful people who had not met their talents went south to Jingzhou or defected to Liu Biao, in an attempt to seek an official position under the account of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. Part-time job, show your talent.

After asking the reason, Liu Qihe and Chen Wen got into the carriage.

Liu Qi felt a little heavy, and said, "Brother Wen, the meteor shower on the edge of the Yangtze River that night was truly amazing."

Chen Wendao: "Yes, my lord, the sky has changed."

Liu Qi was silent for a while, without words, and saw a large crowd of people at the gate of the city from a distance, as if they were gathered around to read the notice.

At the gate of the city, Chen Wen got out of the carriage, squeezed into the crowd, and took a closer look. It turned out that it was the Anmin Announcement issued by Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. Hukou, you can get a certain amount of land, the first three years of tax reduction and exemption, and the government will build houses and live in a unified way. With such a good security policy, it is no wonder that ordinary people fleeing the war flocked here, and Liu Biao made a fortune.

In the era of the Three Kingdoms War and the era of cold weapons, population is an important factor in determining the outcome of a war. The reason is that since the Yellow Turban Army Uprising, various princes have attacked Dong Zhuo, and bandits have made rebellions everywhere. The sharp decline is obvious. The war at this time is about population. Without a sufficient population base, there will be no suitable soldiers to supplement the army, and no one will cultivate food to support the army. How can we defend the city without an army?

It seems that if Liu Biao is not sympathetic to accepting people who escaped from the war, he is far-sighted.

Liu Biao's Anmin policy has caused the population of Jingzhou to rise sharply in a short period of time. Liu Qi may think of the benefits of a large population for war. Liu Biao may also think of it, but Liu Biao may not have imagined that after receiving a large number of refugees who fled to Jingzhou from the north, he will inevitably It aroused the envy and hatred among the princes fighting for hegemony. It is recorded in the history books that Yuan Shao sent Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou one or two years later and Eastern Wu wanted to annex Jingzhou. It doesn't matter if there is enough food.

The abundant and rich Jingzhou, which governs ten countries and seven counties in a radius of thousands of miles, is like a passionate and charming woman who takes off her clothes and lies on the bed. As long as a man with a little bit of wildness wants to jump up and bite her, or simply take her.

Liu Biao finally died together with Jingzhou shortly after his death, which was caused by the military strategic thinking of Pianan. Facing power, facing tigers and wolves, one must be tough, otherwise, it is like the big girl’s Jingzhou, no matter how well raised it is, Unable to keep it, he finally made a wedding dress for someone else. Liu Biao didn't understand this until his death.

It seemed that Chen Wen had also thought of what Liu Qi was thinking. After getting on the carriage, he briefly stated to Liu Qi the Ann Min Notice at the gate of the city, and said worryingly: "My lord, Jingzhou is in danger."
