Chapter 323 There is a surprise on Funiu Mountain
Li Xin stared at Li Zicheng and felt ridiculous. A bandit said this big talk. What the bandit did was not like governing the country and stabilizing the country, but more like destroying everything. Li Xin was young after all, and he was not as comprehensive as Li Jingbai.
Soon, he sneered in a teasing voice: "Can General Li explain the matter about Nanyang Prefecture? Can you tell me what happened in Xiaqi County? The massacre of Nanyang has caused nine out of ten families and the lives of life. The plunder of Qi County and the wealth has been exhausted. This is how General Li recreates the bright world? Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Li Zicheng's brows frowned instantly, his eyes narrowed, and his sharp eyes stabbed like a knife. Li Xin straightened his back, without any intention of dodging, "Are General Li wrong? Or do you have any different opinions?"
Li Xin was extremely sarcastic. He just wanted to anger Li Zicheng and bring all his attention to himself. What's so scary when he died? But what surprised him was that Li Zicheng's Jinzhou brows slowly stretched out, and his ferocious expression turned into a gentle smile. After a while, Li Zicheng stood up and applauded, "Okay, well, for so long, you kid is the first one to dare to talk to me like this."
"You are right, but you got something wrong. The matter of Nanyang Prefecture has nothing to do with me. At least, I didn't let someone slaughter Qi County, right? As for robbing Qi County, it's really helpless. I thought I couldn't stay in Qi County for a long time and had to raise enough supplies. Otherwise, what should I do if I tens of thousands of brothers under my command? You said that I wouldn't let my brothers rob, would those people give out the supplies obediently?"
"I will admit that since entering the Central Plains, the rebels of various units have done a lot of wrong things, but I will do my best to restrain my subordinates. Perhaps, there are still many inappropriate things, which is what I need. I will be willing to change and turn my army into a righteous army that can fight well. Are you willing to help me? Or do you just say it?"
Li Xin was a little confused. Although he was smart, his head was still buzzing by Li Zicheng's words for a moment. Li Xin was speechless, but Li Zicheng smiled.
Li Zicheng felt that he had not read the wrong person. Li Xin was definitely a person who was unwilling to be lonely. When he saw Li Xin, he seemed to see his young self. In Li Xin's eyes, he saw an ambition and a manic heart to make achievements. Perhaps, even Li Xin himself did not find these, but Li Zicheng was sure that he had not misjudged. How could a person who was willing to be mediocre and had no other ideas gathered the young and strong in the village and treated him as a soldier to train?
Li Xin was longing for something in the deepest part of his heart. He was still young and could not see clearly or clearly. Then Li Zicheng helped him push. Li Zicheng was waiting, he was very patient, while Li Xin sat in the chair in a daze, thinking for a long time before slowly standing up.
"General Li, what if he doesn't follow you?" Li Xin was a little resistant to the bandits after all, although he felt a little hot inside. He really didn't want to admit it. When Li Zicheng said those bold words, his heart was pounding, and it became more and more powerful.
"Li Xin, you are a smart person, you should know what I will tell you!" Li Zicheng gently patted Li Xin on the shoulder. Although there was no direct answer, Li Xin thought clearly. As his father said, he would have no choice but to come back. If he didn't go with Li Zicheng, the entire Qinglonggang Town would become a desolate place without breathing.
"General, it's not impossible to follow you below, but you must agree to the next condition!" Li Xin clenched his fists and his eyes were firm. He had a bottom line in his heart. If he broke through this bottom line, he would not surrender to Li Zicheng no matter what.
Conditions? Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, but they instantly turned back to normal. He was not afraid of Li Xin's requirements. As long as he was willing to provide conditions, it would prove that Li Xin had accepted his fate. "Tell me, as long as it is reasonable, even if it is ten, I will agree to you!"
"From now on, we must not slaughter the people, otherwise we will be buried here with Qinglonggang and will not follow the general!" After hearing Li Xin's words, Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows and was surprised. He almost thought about it, and nodded and laughed: "Even if you don't say it, I will restrain the troops of various units. I have told you that I am different from others."
The next day, the peasant army in Qinglonggang withdrew, and Li Xin also left Qinglonggang with Li Zicheng. No matter how Li Jingbai cried, Li Xin could not come back. It was also the same day that in order to completely cut off relations with Qinglonggang and not to affect the tribe members, Li Xin changed his name to Li Yan.
.........
Zhuxian Town, now Org's cavalry is stationed in the town. When he saw Li Zhengqian's miserable situation, Org didn't know how to comfort him. He was a Mongolian and had a straightforward temperament. He could not comfort others. So, as the evening approached, he directly pulled Li Zhengqian and found a place to drink. Li Zhengqian was so depressed that he drank it, and as he drank, he would drink too much.
"Brother Orge, Li didn't mean to blame you. After all, the detour plan was proposed by us. Li was angry at the people of the Ministry of War. I was dying about the fight with the bandits in Zhuxian Town. Because of the huge losses, they directly wrote down my official documents and took down my position. What did they say that they did not care about Kaifeng's safety and sent troops privately. Haha, I really think I can't understand, isn't it just that I blamed me for leading the troops to cooperate with the army? But... We don't expect the army to supervise, who else can we expect? Tens of thousands of troops in Nanzhili are in Runing Prefecture, but they just don't send troops to Kaifeng... Now, the bandits have gone to Qi County and are about to fight Chenliu. All the infamy is to blame me..."
Li Zhengqian complained drunkenly, and when the conversation opened, he was in a tendency to be unable to stop. He talked more and more, but in the end he didn't know what he was saying. Orge also felt a little sympathetic to Li Zhengqian. This guy was really unlucky. After the plan to severely damage the bandits in Zhuxian Town failed, not only the court held accountable, but now the gentry and people in Kaifeng City also pointed the signs at him. What's more, he scolded Li Zhengqian for being incompetent and causing Kaifeng to suffer.
The people in Kaifeng City got angry, but Li Zhengqian was also wronged. What kind of urinary nature is the soldiers of Kaifeng Guard? Can they fight hard? Now that the soldiers are defeated, Li Zhengqian is responsible for the responsibility. Can he feel angry?
By the way, the Kaifeng Guards' troops are really bad and unreliable, but for the time being Orge still has to rely on these people to block the peasant army. Chenliu must be kept. If Chenliu is lost, not only will Kaifeng City be threatened, but he will also have to take a detour to go to Guide Mansion by himself. There is another epidemic in Ruzhou, and reinforcements cannot come up for the time being, everything depends on him, Orge himself. Alas, it is worrying to think about it.
At the end of August, the entire Henan territory was in chaos. Gao Yingxiang from Nanyang Prefecture was frustrated by the epidemic, and the border troops of Xuanfu, who were also invasive, were also unable to move forward by the epidemic. Wang Ziyong, who was hiding in Funiu Mountain, felt both uncomfortable and Zhang Xianzhong. He thought that it would be fine if he hid in the mountains, but there were also diseases on the mountain. Now Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Ziyong were a little panicked.
Several patients appeared on Zhang Xianzhong. I don’t know if it was an epidemic based on the disease, but for the sake of safety, Zhang Xianzhong directly ordered these people to be locked up. The mountain was not as good as the foot of the mountain, and there was no doctor or doctor. He was locked up and almost waited to die.
Zhang Xianzhong's behavior made many people dissatisfied, but everyone dared not speak out. It was getting dark, and a soldier came from the bottom of the mountain. The leader was Sun Kewang. A few days ago, the sons and sons were ordered to go to Fangzhou to collect supplies, so they were not on the mountain for this period and lacked understanding of what was happening on the mountain. When they arrived on the mountain, Sun Kewang entered the Taoist temple, but found that the Taoist temple was empty. He carried a few paper bags and circled around the small Taoist temple twice, but did not see anyone, and he suddenly became a little anxious. Just as a team of patrolers walked past the door, he stopped the people and asked, "Where is Sansheng and his mother?"
Three ministers, Daming Qian Feilai, is Qian Zhuo's son. Since Qian Zhuo's death, Sun Kewang has done his best to take care of Qian Zhuo's wife and children. Over time, his relationship has become more and more intimate, and now he is like a family.
Seeing Sun Kewang asking, several people hesitated for a while, and no one spoke. Sun Kewang saw something and couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't you force me to do it, but you are willing to say it? What happened to Sansheng and his son?"
"This... Leader Sun, the mother and son of Sansheng were locked up in the Bodhi Temple on the mountain. A few days after you left, Sister Hua started coughing. Recently, the epidemic has been severe, so Leader Zhang issued a strict order. Anyone with symptoms will be locked up in the Bodhi Temple."
"What?" Sun Kewang was immediately in a panic and threw a few packets of food to the patrolmen. He ran to the mountain anxiously. Not long after, he arrived at the Bodhi Temple. At this time, the Bodhi Temple was kept airtightly and the windows of the house were also sealed. When he approached, he could hear the scolding and wailing coming from inside.
Sun Kewang had a gloomy face and walked to the door step by step. Most of the guards knew him, but no one dared to stop him. He patted the wooden board at the door and shouted inside, "Sister Hua, are you there?"
Soon, there was a response in the room, and a woman cried weakly: "Brother Sun, is it you? You finally come back. Find a way to rescue us. I am just infected with cold, not an epidemic. Even if it is locked up, one person is enough. Don't let the child suffer with it. Think of a way, three sentences...three sentences are almost out of reach!"
Sister Hua's voice was weak and powerless, as if she hadn't eaten for a few days. Sun Kewang couldn't help but be furious and shouted at the guard next to her: "What's going on?"
"This... Leader Sun calms down. It's not the villain's intention. It's because the superiors have issued strict orders. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, they are not allowed to contact. Leader Sun, calm down. This is what Leader Zhang means. If you want to save people, hurry up and find Leader Zhang... Don't make it difficult for the young people to do..."
Sun Kewang snorted coldly, and did not continue to entangle. He also knew that these people were not wrong. He comforted Sister Hua, and Sun Kewang left the Bodhi Temple and found Zhang Xianzhong not long after. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was discussing something with Liu Wenxiu and others. Seeing Sun Kewang breaking in in a blink of an eyebrow, a little displeasure appeared between his eyebrows, "Kewang, you are anxious, but what big thing happened?"
"The adoptive father... As soon as the child came back, he learned that Sansheng and his son were locked up. This was inappropriate. Brother Qian Zhuo fought with his life to exchange for the lives of the brothers. Now we treat Sansheng and his son like this. What will brothers think of us? Please be kind to the adoptive father and let Sansheng and his son come out!"
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said angrily: "I'm confused, do you know how terrible the epidemic is? If you can't control it, our troops will be over. Let the three ministers release the mother and son, what if they get infected with others? It's also for everyone's sake to lock those people up."
"Entertainment father, I promise you that the mother and son of Sansheng will not walk around and will stay in the Taoist temple forever!" Sun Kewang was still trying to say something again, but Liu Wenxiu and Ai Keqi quickly winked and signaled him not to say anything more.
Sun Kewang had a long fuss, but Zhang Xianzhong did not agree or deny it. After waiting for Sun Kewang to leave, Zhang Xianzhong angrily pounded the table, "This little brat actually took the lead with me for the sake of the mother and son."
Liu Wenxiu and Ai Keqi looked at each other. Since Qian Zhuo's death, Sun Kewang has been taking care of the mother and son, and now he is like a family. It is not a pampered father who is angry. Sun Kewang clashes with his pampered father for outsiders. How can he not get angry?
"Enjoyed father, Brother Sun is back. What we had before..." Liu Wenxiu asked hesitantly.
Zhang Xianzhong snorted: "The plan is the same. For the safety of the entire army, it is the safest to do this... Is it because he is alone, tens of thousands of people in the entire army have to take risks?"
"But... But if Brother Sun knew the truth, he would probably..."
"You know, it's time to know. Things have happened. What else can he do? Do he dare to turn against me for the mother and son?"
......
At night, a fire suddenly spread, devouring the entire Bodhi Temple. Most of the Bodhi Temples are made of wooden structures and are just around the corner. When Sun Kewang arrived, he saw a piece of ruins. After the fire, more than a dozen burnt corpses were wrapped in the rubble, and it was no longer clear who was who.
Sun Kewang only felt a sharp pain coming, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Sister Hua... Sansheng... It's Sun that I'm sorry to you..."
The angry Sun Kewang caught the guards and beat them up, but he couldn't finish his anger because he couldn't recover from his death.
Sun Kewang didn't know how he returned to his residence. When he lay on the couch, he would look like a mother and son as soon as he closed his eyes, especially Sister Hua's faint smile.
I don’t know when I got up, but I had already regarded Sansheng and his son as family members.
The sudden footsteps sounded, and Sun Kewang sat up, reached out and grabbed the knife next to him, stared at the door, and said sternly: "Who is outside?"
The door was slowly pushed open, and a figure staggered in. Under the moonlight, she was in rags, but with the light, she could still see her beautiful facial features.
Looking at this face, Sun Kewang's heart beat rapidly. This jade face was so familiar.
