Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Hahaha" Hu Yihui laughed, and a smug expression appeared on his 40-year-old face, but he still said modestly: "Actually, I mainly have more experience than you. If you can experience it in a few years , must be a hundred times stronger than me."

"Brother Hu is too polite." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Then please leave this matter to Brother Hu."

Hu Yihui patted his chest, and confidently assured: "No problem, just according to the information, there is a bandit den in the forest twenty miles ahead, the number of people is no more than 100, and with the strength of the youth army, it can be taken down in one charge. .”

"But I think you are overthinking." After thinking for a while, Hu Yihui said again: "You should all know the combat effectiveness of the Youth Army. I don't think there is any team in the entire Lingnan that can be their opponent. Besides, this Once we carried a large amount of light artillery and explosives. No matter how strong the Lin Family Fort is, it should not be our opponent. And have you ever thought about it? If we act rashly, the family and officials of Zhenyang might notice it. When we get there, maybe they are already prepared."

Chapter 93 Barbarian Natives

"We also understand this truth." Zheng Yuan nodded and said: "But what if there is an abnormal situation? It can be considered safe."

"Forget it, since you insist, why don't I say anything?"

"Report!" At this moment, a young army sergeant rushed in to report: "Report, Captain, a group of ragged people appeared on the other side of the river, and they were rushing towards us. They all seemed to be holding weapons in their hands. .”

Hu Yihui got up suddenly, and asked in a questioning voice: "How many people are here, have you found out their identities?"

"I don't know who they are, but judging from their faces and attire, they should look like local barbarians, and the number is about 100."

"Barbarian?" Liu Yi exclaimed, "How could a barbarian know that we are here?"

Zheng Yuan hurriedly said: "Brother, don't panic, maybe it was just a coincidence."

Hu Yihui drew out his saber, and said coldly: "Anyway, let's go out and have a look first. If we pass by, that's fine. If we have bad intentions, hmph, I will definitely teach them to be human again."

After all, he turned around and rushed out.

"Go, go out and have a look." Liu Yi greeted, and the three of them walked out of the tent with their weapons.

Walking out of the tent, the three of them found that there were indeed more than 100 people gathered on the other side, all holding various weapons in their hands. The people on the other side had obviously noticed themselves, and they were pointing at this side, looking at their appearance and clothes. , It is indeed slightly similar to the Han people, and it should be undoubtedly the barbarian aborigines.

After a while, he found that the barbarian on the opposite side was just pointing and did not make any other moves. Zhu Yuming became a little impatient, and said to the guide: "It is not a solution to just confront each other like this. Mr. Min, please ask, who are they all?" ? See if you can communicate?"

"Okay, let me try." The guide walked out of the crowd and shouted towards the opposite bank with a tin horn: "Ji Li Gu Lu ≈ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;;(≈ap;ap;ap;ap;ap; ap;!..."

When the people on the other side heard that someone understood what they said, they suddenly became uproarious and yelled for a while, and the last person with the teeth of an unknown animal on his head babbled to this side, and after listening to the other side, the guide Mr. Min's complexion suddenly changed.

Liu Yi noticed his expression, felt a little bit in his heart, and asked and answered: "What's the matter? Isn't the other party going to get out of the way?"

The guide's face was very ugly, and he shook his head and said, "No, these barbarians are natives in the nearby mountains, they say the mountains are their territory, it's okay to ask them to move out of the way, but we have to pay enough to buy the way. "

Zhu Yuming was furious immediately: "What? In broad daylight, the world is bright and the sky is bright. I, an official from the Tang Dynasty, was extorted by the local aboriginals when I went to work. It's really against him."

Liu Yi's face also darkened: "How much do they want?"

"Half of our cargo."

"Oh, what a big appetite." Zheng Yuan was also annoyed, and sneered, "Half of the goods, they are not afraid, the appetite is too big, will they feed themselves to death?"

Zhu Yuming even drew out his knife and shouted, "I can't take it anymore, Brother Hu, let's hit it."

"What do you think, Brother Liu?" Hu Yihui didn't answer him, but asked Liu Yi.

"Then let's call." Liu Yi knew what he meant, and said with a sneer, "We are about to build the road from Yuezhou to Luoyang. We are short of slaves, and that gives me an excuse."

"That's all right." With Liu Yi's words, Hu Yihui seemed to have confidence, and waved his hand: "The archers fired three rounds of rapid fire to drive them away from the shore, and another 100 people followed me into the water."

"Yes." Immediately, a hundred young soldiers took out their bows and arrows and shot towards the other side of the river.

The river is no more than fifteen feet wide and one foot deep, but the strong bow used by the young army can shoot a hundred steps (1.5 meters per step), so it is not too easy to deal with the natives on the opposite side.

Sure enough, following the three rounds of salvo, the natives on the other side fell into a panic, and the youth army took advantage of this opportunity to head towards the opposite bank.However, the barbarians on the other side are not fools. When they saw that the other side was about to attack, they immediately began to use various means to stop them. Unfortunately, they did not have long-range weapons and could only throw stones, but a few stones can be quenched with blood How about the refined elite?What's more, with the suppression of bows and arrows, after a few more people were shot down, the barbarians could only hide and watch the landing of the boy army.

After landing, things became even simpler. In front of the well-equipped and well-trained young army, how could the barbarians, who were dressed in rags, had a yellow and emaciated complexion, and mainly used sticks as their weapons, be opponents?It was just a wave of killing, more than half of the entire barbarian team was killed, and only a few people were injured in the youth army, not even a single one was slightly injured.

"Gulugulu≈ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;≈ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;..." The barbarian leader escaped by chance and was frightened mad. Meaning to kill a wave, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed non-stop. There were many gravels by the river, and the barbarian leader ignored them. His forehead hit the stone directly, and he didn't dare to wipe the blood all over his face.

"What is he saying?"

The guide looked at Liu Yi with admiration, and quickly translated: "My lord, this barbarian king is surrendering. He said that he will be your servant in the future, and he will never dare to disobey your orders."

Liu Yi sneered and said, "Want to surrender? Do you still want to follow me? Huh, how can there be such a cheap thing? You tell him that it's okay to surrender, but you must accept our arrangement and follow our instructions, otherwise I don't mind killing them all." .”

"Yes." The guide quickly translated the words to the barbarian king, and the barbarian king didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and agreed: "The front wheel does not turn and the back wheel turns￥...}: ≈ap;ap;ap;ap;ap;ap; $”

"The barbarian king said that he is your servant, my lord, so he will naturally obey your orders."

"That's easy." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Let them put down their weapons and accept our prisoners."

"￥￥"

"..." Upon hearing this, the barbarian king immediately called his subordinates to put down their weapons, and tied his hands to express the previous offense to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, the next thing will be handed over to Brother Hu. This barbarian captive should be more useful, right?"

Hu Yihui said with a smile: "That's natural. Compared with colluding with bandits, colluding with other races to plot crimes is a more serious crime. If the investigation is true, it would be trivial to ransack the family and exterminate the family. Even gods can't save them."

Liu Yi was overjoyed: "That's great, I'm sorry, brother, I'll leave this reward for now, and I'll invite you all to have a good drink after the matter is completed."

"Hahaha, then it's settled, hahaha..."

Chapter 318

Chapter 92 go

In fact, this attack is still very dangerous. Attacking halfway is a taboo for military strategists. If the barbarians did not have qualified weapons this time, I am afraid that they will really suffer a big loss this time.However, after this battle, Liu Yi also learned to be smart, and directly moved the camp to the other side of the river. Although this seemed to cut off the way out, it meant a last-ditch fight, but with the young army around, Liu Yi didn't think any bandits could drive him away. Go back to the river.

On the second day, Liu Yi originally planned to rest here for two days, but yesterday's barbarian attack let him know that this place is not safe, so he simply set off today.

After walking on the road for another three days, they finally came to a place thirty miles away from the county seat. At this time, the team was much stronger than before.The main reason is that in addition to the original people, there are four to five hundred captives and a considerable part of the huge amount of capture.I have to say that the law and order in Zhenyang County is really not that good. During the three days of this journey alone, Liu Yi encountered five waves of bandits. It also made Liu Yi and others realize how bad the current situation in Zhenyang County is, and they are even more angry at the inaction of the county magistrate of Zhenyang. How did such a person become the county magistrate?What did he do during his tenure?

In addition to these captives and captures, he also got an unexpected surprise, that is, in a bandit lair, they actually found some letters, and they were all correspondence between the Lin family Lin Zhengnan and the bandit leader. The content is enough to make the entire Lin family die a hundred times.

At this time, a small school came to report: "My lord, the front has been found out, and the Lin Family Fort is twenty miles away."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Brother Hu, follow the plan."

Hu Yihui smiled and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go first."

Just when Liu Yi was planning Linjiabao, Linjiabao was entertaining distinguished guests.

"My Lord Xu, what kind of wind is it today that brought you to my place? It's really rare." Lin Zhengnan, the chubby head of the Lin family, smiled and saluted an old man in a seventh-rank official uniform.

"Hmm." The old man known as Mr. Xu had a gloomy expression and responded casually.

Looking at his expression, Lin Zhengnan knew that his coming might not be a good thing: "What? Could it be that my bastard got into some trouble again? This little bastard, if he doesn't do a good thing all day long, it will only cause you trouble, Xu My lord, please wait for a while, I will ask that little bastard to come and apologize to you. This is a little apology from my little brother, please don't take it to heart."
