Chapter 170: Peaches and plum blossoms bloom, and the son becomes emperor
The monk was anxious to report the news to Liu Huiwang, so he arranged for his close followers to escort the fat man and the two brothers to Li's military camp.
Fearing that his men would act recklessly, the monk gave him a few stern warnings.
The horse that the fat man rode and the knife that the thin man held looked extraordinary at first sight. Even he was jealous when he saw it. How could he not be tempted by his group of poor devils?
But we also have to think about what kind of urgent military information these reports are about. If we take it away now, they will sue Li Wenxiao in front of him, and he will have to walk away without any money...
After walking four or five miles, the monks and cavalry divided into two waves. One wave followed the monks to the south, and there were more than ten cavalry escorting them to the north.
While walking, Li Rui heard faint cries?
Taking a closer look, it was obvious that it was coming from the direction of Jingzhou City. The cries were also mixed with shouts of killing, which was clearly a fierce battle.
The sound of killing is endless, but looking at the soldiers and civilians along the road, the horses are not very fast, and the people are not very anxious. It seems that they have become accustomed to it?
The two brothers glanced at each other subconsciously, both of them shocked: The rebels are probably attacking Jingzhou City every day, and the time is definitely not short, otherwise these traitors would not be so calm and insensitive...
After thinking about it, the three of them were taken to a military camp. Li Rui looked up and saw that the camp was built on the basis of a fort. It was vast and covered two or three miles in radius.
Under Li Chengzhi's training, the two of them had already become Wu Xia Amen and gained some experience. With a quick glance, they could determine that there were at least 20,000 soldiers in the camp.
I just don’t know how many soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and civilians there are.
A monk stood outside the gate of the camp and shouted to the military leader on duty: "General, these three people came from the west, saying they were messengers sent by General Li Mao to conquer the west. They came to see your general."
of..."
After shouting this, the monk rode away without any further explanation.
Li Rui and Li Cong's eyes shone brightly: It seems that Liu Huiwang's people don't have much dealing with Li Wenxiao's people?
A good thing...
Just as I was feeling happy, I suddenly heard a sad cry from beside me: "Fifth brother..."
It turned out to be a fat man, and he didn't know whether he saw relatives, friends or old friends. He suddenly felt sad in his heart, his brain became hot, and he rushed straight towards the camp gate.
"Are you stupid?" Li Cong was startled, grabbed the reins of the fat man's horse, and shouted in a low voice, "If you dare to break in, be careful that the guards will shoot you into a sieve..."
"That's a brother from the same mother's womb. How dare he shoot me?" The fat man roared angrily and grabbed the reins.
Fatty’s brother?
The two brothers were stunned for a moment and looked into the camp. A strong man who looked like he was a goalkeeper was looking here suspiciously.
If he wasn't wearing black armor and a helmet, would they have thought that the fat man had cast a clone spell?
They are so similar, they are almost cut out of the same mold...
But what the brothers care about is not this, but the reactions of these disciples.
Fatty's horses were about to rush into the village gate, but these guards only watched the fun and had no intention of stopping them.
If one of Lang Jun's subordinates, regardless of whether he is his brother or his father, dares to rush into the camp without a letter of command, he will definitely be stabbed in the heart by random arrows.
"Second brother?" The strong man exclaimed and quickly came up to him, "It's really the second brother, how can he look like this?"
The fat man's face was covered with wounds, which looked like they had been whipped with a whip, and his clothes were in tatters, as if he were a beggar.
"Brother..." The fat man just cried for half a cry, but he was like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and fell silent.
He suddenly remembered what Li Cong had warned him after meeting the group of monks: the news of the destruction of Anwu City and Li Mao's death in battle could only be revealed after meeting Li Wenxiao, otherwise it would be a serious crime that would shake the morale of the army... p>
The fat man took two deep breaths and said in a trembling voice: "I want to see the general. I have important military information!"
Although he was born from the same mother, this gatekeeper is much smarter than the fat man. Looking at his horrified face and miserable appearance, he has already guessed: What kind of military skills can you, a cook who waits for others, have? p>
It's probably because something happened in Anwu City...
The goalkeeper's face turned pale and he was stunned for a while before saying: "I'll take you there..."
"Bring them with you!" The fat man pointed at Li Rui and Li Cong.
The main reason is that Fatty is afraid that he can't explain clearly. The second reason is that he can escape with his life thanks to these two brothers. Fatty wants them to show off their skills in front of Li Wenxiao and give them some reward to thank them for saving their lives...<
/p>
"Who are they?" The goalkeeper looked at the two brothers.
The fat man was stunned.
Along the way, I was trying to escape, but I only knew that the two brothers were the Song family's grooms, but I didn't ask their names.
"I'm Song Heng!"
"I'm Songtong!"
The two brothers clasped their fists in unison: "I've seen the general!"
The goalkeeper looked suspicious.
He looks like a slave laborer, but judging from his posture and conversation, he seems to be literate?
"Read the book?"
"Read it!" Li Rui replied calmly, "When Song Wenzhong, whose ancestral home is the Song family, joined the army in Wuwei Town, my father was his guard, so my brother was lucky enough to attend the Song family's clan school..."
Song Wenzhong is the father of Song Lishen and the father-in-law of Li Chengzhi's third brother.
Including the identities of the two of them, Li Chengzhi did not just make up random nonsense, but they were indeed real people.
But he is not as thin as them, and he does not raise horses, but is the two team leaders under Li Chengzhi.
After asking Li Wenzhong and Song Lishen, they both said that there were no Song people or people who knew the Song family among the rebels, so Li Chengzhi and the two brothers were not worried at all about whether anyone would find out their identities.
When he heard that he was not a lowly family member, the goalkeeper's face suddenly softened a bit. When he heard that it was the two brothers who narrowly escaped death and saved his brother's life, his face was filled with smiles.
He directed the two brothers to deposit their bows, knives, armor, horses, etc. at the gate of the village, and then the gatekeeper took them to the commander's camp.
Li Rui and Li Cong looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Chengzhi once said that he was not worried about the rest. The only thing he was worried about was Fatty's horse.
Even if such a big horse is placed in the military camp of the imperial court, it is definitely the best choice for the commander's mount. How can an ordinary officer and soldier be worthy of riding such a good horse?
Li Wenzhong is a person who has served as a driver in a state. He will not be able to see this flaw. If he sees this horse, he will definitely become suspicious.
But it’s not possible without this horse.
A weaker horse would not be able to carry a fat man weighing more than two hundred kilograms and run for dozens of miles without resting...
There are ways to prevent Li Wenxiao from seeing the horse. If Li Wenxiao sees the horse and asks about it, he will also make up an excuse, but whether he can get away with it depends on the luck of the two brothers.
Who would have thought that with such good luck, Fatty’s brother would be a goalkeeper?
You are so considerate. You are afraid that these belongings will be noticed by others, so you take a look at them first?
Li Wenxiao is not clairvoyant and has an ear for the wind, and he is even less likely to doubt two small soldiers.
This level has been passed...
The two brothers secretly rejoiced, helped the fat man get into a carriage, and drove towards Wubao.
While walking, I listened to the two brothers talking about their daily routine.
"Why did you become a soldier if you didn't protect me properly?"
"The soldiers and horses under the general's command are getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more generals. Everyone in the house who can read and understand some military skills has become a military commander... I am only a camp gate officer, and my fourth brother has become a brigade commander.
..."
The fat man looked suspicious: "Fourth brother? He is not even as good as you... You are the personal guard of the house, and you have learned some military skills. Like me, he is just a cook and has not even read many books. How can he lead an army in war?"
?"
"Whatever you do if you know the art of war, just dare to kill people!"
The goalkeeper lowered his voice, "We're just driving the refugees to carry earth to build the wall under the city..."
Li Rui and Li Cong were horrified when they heard this.
No wonder the cries in the distance are endless, the thieves are actually taking human lives...
……
There were no outsiders in the main hall, only Li Wenxiao was sitting there blankly.
He is not yet forty, but he already has white hair on his temples and a haggard face. Looking at his face, he is several years older than his concubine brother Li Wenzhong.
At this time, Li Wenxiao was staring at a piece of copper in a daze.
It is stained with rust and covered with patina. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see more than ten small characters engraved on it: Nian#ugly, peaches and plums bloom, the son is called the emperor, the king is the king...
It must have been buried for too long, and several characters are missing: for example, there is obviously a word between Nian and Chou, but the specific word can no longer be seen.
There is also the word "子", which is not only a little blurry, but also obviously has a part missing, like the character "耂", the character "木", or the character "土".
Li Wenxiao believes that 99% of this character is the character "filial piety".
There also seemed to be a radical missing on the left side of the first "王". He thought it must be Liu Huiwang's "王"...
And the character between Nian and Chou should be B.
Isn’t this the Year of Yi Chou...
Why did the Wuzhi Li family neglect to build a good family?
It was Li Wenxiao who got such a bronze medal by accident, thinking that he was destined by destiny...
On the contrary, it was the mastermind Liu Huiwang who was truly wronged: in order to increase his confidence in rebellion, Li Wenxiao secretly buried a similar bronze medal under the old locust tree in the backyard of Fuzhong Temple, with a letter: Liu became king, Li Wenxiao
The family is the assistant!
Sure enough, as he wished, the Buddhist sect raised an army and responded like a cloud. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of rebels gathered, and even the city of Jingzhou was surrounded.
Li Wenxiao was extremely confident and ambitious, thinking that sooner or later the world would be his own.
But then he realized that it was easy to think of it, but how difficult to do it?
Liu Huiwang was not a person who could achieve great things at all. He was wary of himself when he started the army. He was afraid that his prestige would surpass him, and he was even more afraid that he would have self-respect in supporting his troops. He didn't even dare to let himself lead his troops to attack Jingzhou City? p>
Just with a bunch of rioters and ignorant monks, let alone two months, if grandpa gives you another two years, can you conquer it?
Until Li Chengzhi suddenly appeared in the west, and news came from the east that Xi Kangsheng was going to send troops to quell the rebellion, the thief was so panicked that he gave up some of his military power.
If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?
It’s really a waste of time and effort...
And this Li Chengzhi?
Why does it seem like it suddenly fell from the sky?
In a short period of time, tens of thousands of heroes gathered together, and it was like a divine help. Not only could they win every battle, but they also won every battle in such a weird way?
Not to mention the elite, even if Li Wenzhong brought 6,000 pigs, he could still escape with one or two, right?
He was completely wiped out by Li Chengzhi?
Why don’t I have such good fortune as Li Chengzhi?
Could it be that this bronze medal is also fake, or that I misread this prophecy, and that it does not predict the Uchi Li family at all?
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Wenxiao picked up the bronze medal again. He wanted to study it carefully, but when he saw the sentence "The peach and plum bloom, the son will be emperor", a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
The whole person seemed to be frozen, standing stiffly on the spot, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
It's like heaven descending...like divine help...
Li Chengzhi’s surname is also Li, and there is also a “子” in the character “Cheng”?
