The Heroic Biography of Little People

19. Zhang Jiao’s trip to Zhuo County

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Shushi's survival study was over.So because of the existence of Lu Bu, the so-called "survival" became a joke, but Li Shushi still learned a lot.

Although Lu Bu was born in a wild way, it is because his way is wild enough that he is different from many generals with orthodox backgrounds. Many key points and skills of survival in the wild require experience gained at the cost of life. Now Lu Bu has no reservations. Passed on to Li Shushi.As for the identification of wild fruits and vegetables, the identification of poisonous species and some knowledge of first aid all opened Li Shushi's eyes.There are many things to pay attention to even when looking for a campsite and building a campsite.

The two returned with a full load of prey that had not been consumed for several days, but they could never keep this happy mood at home.They smelled an unusual smell from outside the city gate of Zhuo County.

At this time, a large group of people gathered around the gate of Zhuo County, and there were bursts of noisy discussions from time to time.The surrounding people did not point and point at the crowd as usual, but looked hurried.Many people with their families drove out of the county town in carts, and there were children crying loudly in the carts.

Li Shushi and Lu Bu looked at each other, then immediately put away their leisurely mood, and hurried home after the soldiers at the city gate had checked the documents.

Nothing has changed in the house, except that some dust has accumulated in certain places.But as soon as the two of them arrived home, the neighbor, Uncle He, ran over in a hurry.

"Little Lizi~ Something big happened~" Li Shushi, who was far away, had already heard Uncle He's obviously out of breath cry.

Li Shushi let Lu Bu enter the house to pickle the prey he had brought back, while he went out to meet Uncle He. He was also a little curious about what happened, which made Uncle He, who always does things slowly, so flustered.

"You little plum, where have you gone crazy these days? Do you know that it's spread all over the city now, and the Karasuma people are going to call. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people. Hey, I don't know. Can Lord Gongsun of our county hold on?"

The Karasuma people are coming to attack the city?That's a really big deal.However, Li Shushi always felt as if he had forgotten something, and he always felt that he didn't need to panic too much.

"There are only two routes for the Karasuma people to reach Zhuo County. One is to attack Juyong in Shanggu County, and the other is to go through Yuyang County. And these two routes will pass through Guangyang County. Let alone other things, at least Guangyang County Liu Yan, the prefect of Yang County, and Guo Xun, the governor of the state, will not sit idly by. Besides, Ji County and Yuyang County are far richer than Zhuo County. Even if the thieves come here just to rob, they should attack these two places. So At most, Zhuo County will have an enemy army, and with the height of Zhuo County, those alien races who lack the means to attack the city are not afraid of them."

Huh?Lu Bu children's shoes, shouldn't you go in and pick up your prey, why did you appear here.Li Shushi looked at Lu Bu who did not know when he appeared behind him, and complained in his heart.

"So there is no need to panic at all. If you escape from the city, you may encounter a small group of scouts from the Karasuma people. At that time, you may have no chance to escape."

Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Li Shushi's malicious eyes, and still talked to himself, but seeing Uncle He's surprised eyes, Li Shushi had to admit that what this guy said made a lot of sense.

Thanks to Uncle He for the reminder, Li Shushi sent it out for a long way before returning to his home.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Bu's face full of doubts.

"What's going on this time is a bit strange?" Lu Bu gave Li Shushi a slap in the face when he just came in.

"How do you say this?" Lu Bu has dealt with several ethnic groups on the grassland, so he has a more or less understanding of their habits. There must be his reasons.

"Although the prairie people live in no fixed place and are predatory, they still have certain rules. For them, the most important thing is their livestock. This is not only their rations but also their wealth and a symbol of their strength. , so the various actions of the grassland people revolve around livestock and wealth.”

Lu Bu turned around and sat back on the bed. Li Shushi also found a seat under the bed, poured a glass of water for Lu Bu, and then quietly listened to Xiaoqiang and Lao Shi's lecture on popular science.

"Prairie people are used to going south in spring and autumn. Because summer is the most luxuriant time on the grassland, the grass grows best at this time. Whether the livestock can grow well this year depends on the pasture in summer. In autumn , In order to cope with the lack of food in winter, the grassland people will go south. In addition, after a summer of feeding, the horses at this time are also the most fat and strong. The action in spring depends largely on the winter How, if it's okay, then each tribe will focus more on competing with other tribes for the control of good pastures, because no matter what, going south will cause the tribe's precious adult men to suffer. And if the winter is difficult If you suffer, in order to ensure your survival, you must go south, otherwise there is only a dead end. Even sometimes, you have to go south to rob in winter, but that puts too much pressure on the attackers, and they will not do that unless they have to."

Li Shushi nodded, expressing his understanding.

"That's why I said that it's strange for the Karasuma people to go south at this time. Instead of domesticating their own livestock on the pasture, they went here to participate in the war. So how should these tribes spend the winter? Or are they being killed by some people? Drive to die?"

"Could it be fake news?" Li Shushi asked a question.

"It's not impossible, but it shouldn't be too big, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people gathered at the city gate. There should be so many people gathered because of the emergency conscription notice posted on the city gate. This means that the government has confirmed the truth of the matter.”

"In that case, let's go and have a look later." Li Shushi felt that seeing is believing, and Lu Bu nodded.

Outside the east gate of Zhuoxian County, the crowd gathered at this time has decreased a lot. After some effort, Li Shushi and Lu Bu successfully squeezed to the innermost end of the crowd.A small wooden board was hung on the city gate, and a notice was pasted on it.

"Here, there are Karasuma people who have invaded our prefecture and county, and the people and gentry of this county should be punished together. Today, the county magistrate Gongsun, in order to protect the environment and the people, has recruited good families from all the borders of the Han Dynasty to kill the barbarians and promote our Han power."

There are also the official seal of the county government and the personal seal and stamp of the county magistrate to prove the officialness and correctness of the notice.

Li Shushi turned his head and saw Liu Daer who often sells straw sandals at the fair, and immediately left Lu Bu and went up to him.Speaking of which, Liu Bei and Li Shushi are quite acquainted, and they have a lot of business contacts.Liu Bei's straw sandals are of good quality and have a good reputation, so when they are not collected on weekdays, they are consigned in the grocery store, and then use the money from selling the shoes to exchange for some daily necessities.

"Brother Liu Bei~ (so sweet) Why are you here?"

"Hey, Bei is also the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, so I feel a little bit embarrassed to see the country suffering." Liu Bei first showed a gentle smile, and then he looked worried about the country and the people.

"Then why doesn't Brother Liu Bei join the army to fight bad people? I heard that the county magistrate Gongsun and you are both Lu Shangshu's disciples."

Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when there were few officials in the frontier, their prestige in Youzhou can be said to be huge.All Youzhou scholars who can enter his sect are proud of it.Although Liu Bei only listened to the class under his door for a few months, it is also an important qualification.It can be said that this is another identity that Liu Bei can take out, second only to the clan of the Han Dynasty.

"Hehe, Bei is really powerless. Thinking back when he was under Master Lu, although the magistrate Gongsun came from a low family background, the Gongsun family is also a well-known family in western Liaoning, so naturally he looked down on me, a poor student from my family. Now he In charge of a county, but I still do nothing, go to recognize each other, just make people laugh."

At this time Liu Bei was bitter, maybe because he was just a young man in front of him, so he didn't pretend to be himself, Li Shushi saw his unwillingness and loneliness rarely.

"It's the Immortal Zhang Jiao who's here, it's the Immortal Zhang Jiao who's here..."

There was a burst of shouting from nowhere, and then the voice became louder and wider.After a while, Li Shushi saw that the people who had surrounded the gate of the city had all left, and rushed to the south from inside or outside the city, leaving only a mess.

"Why is Zhang Jiao here?"

When Li Shushi was puzzled, Liu Bei also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Daozhang Zhang is a good man. He must have come here to invade the Karasuma people."
