Han ride

Chapter 4 Beard
At this moment, a bell rang, and the official road became silent for an instant. Zhang Yifu, who was still complacent just now, suddenly turned pale.I saw his lips trembling.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"Huzi, Huzi is here." Zhang Yifu trembling his body, said: "The bell rings, and Ganhuzi arrives. This is a famous beard in Liaodong called Ganhuzi. I'm afraid he will take away all my belongings. It's not good." Even our lives will be lost here."

"Hmph, are they afraid of Wang Fa's?" Yang Xiong is a member of the government, and he couldn't help roaring.

"It's all rebellion, so why worry about the king's law. These beards are all over the pass, doing all kinds of evil, or robbing merchants, and even the food and grass of the army. Once Guan Ning's cavalry comes out to destroy them, they will hide in the grassland and specialize in Look for the troubles of those small tribes." Zhang Yifu shook his head repeatedly.

"If you were an ordinary profiteer, I would have nothing to say if these goods were taken away, but you are a serious businessman. Such goods are related to your wealth and life, how could they be taken away by others." Li Xin snorted coldly. He snorted and said: "You can order all the coachmen to form a circle with the carriages, and let the horses flow through the gap."

"This? This?" Zhang Yifu rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to resist Gan Huzi.

"Mr. Li has already issued an order, why don't you carry it out?" Jiang Yi snorted coldly with a sullen face, half of the Xiuchun knife at his waist was drawn out, and Zhang Yifu's complexion was even paler under the cold light.

"Quickly, quickly form a circle around the carriage." Zhang Yifu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Draw out your weapons, hmph, I don't believe it, what can he do to me? "I have to say that Zhang Yifu is indeed a big businessman, a very decisive businessman. Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifu obeyed Li Xin's order without hesitation, and ordered people to form a circle around the carriage.Zhang Yifu's guards and the prisoners who were sent to Liaodong were all surrounded in the middle, their faces were full of panic, and Zhang Yifu was also reluctantly standing beside Li Xin, with cold sweat dripping down his fat face from time to time, in such a cold day It's funny that he's still sweating.

"What a fast speed!" A dozen or so carts quickly formed a circle, revealing gaps between horses.All the guards held weapons in their hands, nervously looking at the shadow in the distance.

The black shadow gradually expanded. When Li Xin looked over, he saw only a few dozen cavalrymen, wearing fur coats and holding long knives in their hands. The horses under their crotches spewed white gas from their mouths, and occasionally neighed.The leader was dressed in black armor, but had a beard and a fierce expression.In his hand, he was holding a long spear, and on the red tassel on the tip of the spear was a golden bell. When he waved it, the bell rang, and the sound was clear and sweet.

"He is Ganbeard." Zhang Yifu swallowed and said.

"He is Gan Huzi." Li Xin looked at Gan Huzi on the opposite side, nodded and said, "It looks like a beard."

"Hey! I've been in Liaodong for so many years. It's the first time I saw someone dare to resist me. Haha, it's really interesting." Gan Huzi looked at the carts that had already formed a circle, and said with a sneer, "How dare you use it?" It’s a joke to resist my cavalry this way.” The minions behind him also let out bursts of wild laughter.The faces of Zhang Yifu and the others here were even worse.

"My lord, it looks like this car formation may have been broken by the opponent." Jiang Yi was naturally dull, and when he heard Gan Huzi's words, he couldn't help but said softly.

"This Ganhuzi used to be a member of our Ming Dynasty frontier army. He was defeated by Nurhaci in the Sarhu Battle. He escaped with his life. He simply gathered a few brothers and made this worthless business." Zhang Yifu is familiar with the situation outside the pass. , as soon as I heard Jiang Yi's words, I said quickly.

"No wonder." Li Xin nodded and said, "I'm afraid we will attack with bows and arrows later."

"My lord, why don't we rush out and kill them all?" Yang Xiong asked nervously.

"No, although they are cavalry, there are also archers who can attack from a distance, but they are few in number. You can see that there are only a few archers, and each of them carries twelve iron arrows, which are only a few dozen. With dozens of iron arrows, they have nothing to do."

"Then how to guard against their iron arrows!" Jiang Yi asked impatiently.

"Hehe, it's natural to use our strengths to attack their weaknesses." Li Xin glanced around, but finally his eyes fell on the carriage, pointing to the carriage and said: "Our strength is that we have many people, and our weakness is their weakness." There are bows and arrows, but there is one thing that can help us stop the opponent and not be afraid of the attack of the opponent's bow and arrow. Jiang Yi, you let people take the cloth and set up a defense line at the gap to prevent the opponent from rushing in through the gap. Just hide under the wagon."

"This? Can it work?" Yang Xiong asked with some uncertainty.

"Do you have a better way?" Li Xin rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhang Yifu and said, "In this way, not only can there be as few deaths as possible, but more importantly, it can also guarantee the loss of shopkeeper Zhang's cloth." Less. Isn’t this very good?” Everyone was silent for a while after hearing the words. Although Li Xin’s method was very good, the bow and arrow had no eyes, and there were still loopholes. Perhaps the unlucky one was himself.In particular, Zhang Yifu looked at his own figure, but finally shook his head tremblingly. He was a big man, if the opponent attacked with a bow and arrow, he might be shot.

"My lord, is there a better way?" At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly looked at Li Xin and said.Hearing this, Li Xin looked at the cold-faced middle-aged man in surprise, but never thought that he could see that he had other methods.

"Young master, please teach me." Zhang Yifu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, the small eyes were full of hope.

"There are again, and they may also seriously injure the other party. I just don't know if shopkeeper Zhang is willing to give up, and if you all have such bravery." Li Xin pointed to the sweet beard and said: "Look at the horses they sit on. Come on, such a war horse can be easily obtained with a hundred taels of silver."

"Then please tell me what is the solution, my lord? As long as I don't take my life, a small loss can still be tolerated." Zhang Yifu immediately smiled when he heard the words, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

"That is to borrow one of your carriages." Li Xin said: "You drive a carriage yourself, and tell Gan Huzi that you will give me a cart of top-quality Shu brocade as a gift."

"It's that simple?" Zhang Yifu showed disappointment on his face.

"Of course not." Li Xin snatched a long knife from a guard beside him, held a knife blade, and said, "Yang Butou and Jiang Butou and I are hiding behind. When you get close to each other, you can Just ignite these cloths and jump off the carriage by yourself. At that time, I will guarantee that Nagan Beard will not be in the mood to chase you down, and I will also protect your life and your cloths.”

"This?" Zhang Yifu's face suddenly revealed a look of embarrassment, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was obese, and if he tried to lure the enemy here, it might ruin Li Xin's good deeds.

"Forget it! Shopkeeper Zhang is not easy to go. I'll go by myself!" Li Xin thought for a while and said, "With my appearance, that Ganhuzi will not doubt it." Li Xin looked at himself After a while, he finally said with a smile.Then Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi also had to admit it.After several months of training, this Li Xin is far from Wuxia Amon, and even Yang Xiong is not his opponent, but this Li Xinsheng has a good-looking, handsome appearance, and he does not look like a martial arts practitioner at all.If Li Xin is allowed to go, he is not afraid that Gan Huzi will find anything.

"My lord, why don't I let you go." Gao Meng grunted and gave Zhang Yifu a look, dissatisfied that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing that Li Xin was going to take the risk himself, he was naturally unwilling.

"Of course you are going. You and Catcher Yang hid behind the carriage. Once you found a fire in front of you, you grabbed the cloth and beat it around. The cloth is very easy to catch fire. Once it is ignited, it will definitely cause a raging fire. You guys Use cloth as a weapon, and first attack those who carry bows and arrows. These people will definitely cause chaos, and then we can take the opportunity to take them. Captain Jiang, please sit here, and once there is chaos on the opposite side, you can take the opportunity to kill." Li Xin thought for a while and said to everyone.Yang Xiong has martial arts, and although Jiang Yi is not as good as Yang Xiong in martial arts, but has a calm personality, he can be the candidate to sit in the rear.

"Since this is the case, you must be careful, Young Master." Jiang Yi nodded, and said: "If something happens to Young Master, the villain will definitely avenge Young Master and Master Li."

"Don't worry, the Ganbeard in front of me is not capable of killing me." Li Xin shook his head, chose a carriage from among the many carriages, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw that the entire carriage was covered with cloth, and there were no other prohibited items. Items, I didn't expect this Zhang Yifu to talk very well.

"Let's go." Li Xin drove the carriage lightly, while Gao Meng and Yang Xiong hid behind the carriage while everyone was not paying attention, and huddled there tightly.

"Hehe, a scholar came unexpectedly. When did this Liaodong scholar come? Look at him in prison clothes, he is actually a prisoner." Gan Huzi narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xin.

"In front of you is Chief Gan. I am hereby invited by shopkeeper Zhang to present a cart of high-quality Shu brocade as money for buying the road. I don't know what Chief Gan thinks?" Li Xin said calmly.He held the reins with one hand, while with the other he held the handle of the knife under his buttocks.

"Haha, it turns out that there is a character who is afraid of death, and there is also a scholar who is not afraid of death." Gan Huzi laughed loudly when he heard this, and pointed the whip in his hand to Li Xin and said, "You scholar, are you not afraid that I, Gan Huzi, will kill you?" Did you kill it?"
