generation hero

Yuan Tang laughed lightly, and said kindly: "That's enough repairs, it's time to set off. Besides, brother Pang needs repairs, you and I don't need it, and Uncle De and I are ready to go whenever Chang Shi thinks we should leave. "

Liu Yanping's expression flickered, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, look at the chaos outside, isn't it too dangerous to just go on the road like this?"

Yuan Tang nodded and said: "It's dangerous. It's not dangerous if there is a fight. If the Yichi people hit Aicheng, there will be a battlefield outside, and no one can leave, so we must make arrangements early. My Uncle De can guarantee Changshi and Aicheng." The family returned to Nanxia safely. How about preparing for the day tomorrow and leaving early the next morning."

Liu Yanping hurriedly stood up, and said, "Don't worry about Brother Yuan, those who have high mountains and long roads, those who return to the south, plan carefully."

Yuan Tang hit the wine table with a "slap", still smiling, "You and I came back from Yaojing, why did we ever need to make a plan, and Chang Shi gave us an accurate word, whether to go or not?"

There was a smile in his eyes, but the meaning of pressing the question couldn't be more obvious, Liu Yanping couldn't be more prevaricated.

Ling Mufeng drank some wine, his mind was tired, he fell asleep on the wine table, was woken up by Yuan Tang, and snorted dissatisfiedly, Yuan Tang suddenly felt a little lost, helped him up, Huang Tianshen, as a disciple, devoted himself He tried his best to stay by Master's side, and when he saw this, he hurried up to help him.

Ling Mufeng was still dissatisfied, he didn't know if he was drunk or angry, and complained in a low voice.

In the dead of night, after this interruption, the atmosphere became a little cold, Yuan Tang sat back at the table, picked up the jug, and found that he had finished drinking the wine, so he put it down in a dispirited mood.

Yuan Tang said: "If Chang Shi is still inconvenient, I won't force it. Uncle De and I will set off to return to the south first. The territory of Fenzhou is not peaceful, so please take care of Chang Shi. If you need it in the future, you can use it." Send a letter to Jiyang Yuan's house."

After finishing speaking, Yuantang cupped his hands respectfully, and Liu Yanping said anxiously: "Yuan Canjun, wait, why bother to be so decisive, hey...Jianjun thought it would be safe to return to Muzhou now?"

Yuan Tang bowed his head and said, "I dare not say anything else, Jiyang is the ancestral home of the Yuan family, and my Yuan family in Jiyang territory can still speak well."

"But what about other than Jiyang?" Liu Yanping said, "Muzhou and Qizhou are all controlled by Su Shoukui now. Has Yuan Canjun ever thought that the court's lack of troops is not as good as rectifying Muzhou and Qizhou, and Jiyang is just Muzhou?" It's just a place in the state. Going back to Nanxia like this is like entering an urn."

"They've already left Fenzhou, so why go back?" Yuan Tang was a little impatient.

"Of course not going back," Liu Yanping waved his hand and said, "Didn't you think about how to protect yourself after returning to Muzhou and how to deal with Su Shoukui after joining the army? If you have soldiers in your hands and the Yuan family's foundation in Jiyang, maybe you can fight with Su Shoukui." Su Shoukui contended."

Liu Yanping drank the last half bowl of wine in front of him, let out a long sigh, and said, "Have you ever thought about joining the army? That Su Shoukui's ambition is definitely not loyal to the imperial court. If he is allowed to occupy the two states and collude with outsiders in the future, Nanxia will be in danger." .”

"So," Yuantang said with a bit of a smile, "Liu Changshi plans to stay in Wushan to recruit troops and buy horses to return to Muzhou?"

Liu Yanping looked very serious, and said: "If Baiyu hadn't fallen, Muzhou and Qizhou would not have become what they are today. Yuan joined the army, and I'm not hiding it. Occupying the two states, I feel uneasy."

Yuan Tang shook his head and said, "Long Shi knows that Wushan and Muzhou are still separated by Fenzhou, so it's not easy to recruit troops in Wushan, and then pass through Fenzhou. For the sake of recruiting bandits and refugees from the village, it would be a big deal to fight Su Shoukui."

Liu Yanping said: "So joining the army is absolutely indispensable for this matter. Among us, only joining the army and brother Yuan De are familiar with soldiers and horses. If joining the army leaves, there is absolutely no possibility of success."

It would be better if it can't be done, Yuan Tang thought, striding towards his resting room, Liu Yanping just followed him, earnestly said: "Brother Yuan Xian is the one that everyone expects. You are obviously not a callous person, why are you so decisive."

Yuan Tang stopped, and said to Liu Yanping: "Liu Changshi misjudged me. I tried my best when guarding Baiyu, and I didn't feel that I was ashamed of the court. It is also a due friendship to support everyone all the way back to the south. , no matter how much, Yuan can't do it."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Yuantang felt depressed, thinking about how to finish the road in Fenzhou, and Liu Yanping's words occasionally floated in his mind, and Liu Yanping had doubts, and he also thought about it.The Yuan family has managed Jiyang for several generations. As long as they can return to Jiyang, the safety of him and Yuan De can be guaranteed. As for the others...

Tossing and turning on the mat, Yuan Tang didn't fall asleep until dawn. When he woke up, the sun was already high. Hearing the noise outside, he wiped his face and turned outside.

A group of bandits gathered together, and Luo Da happily talked to Liu Yanping.

"Brother Liu is a smart man, thanks to Brother Liu... our village lacks this!" Luo Da blushed, and the others also echoed Liu Yanping's praise.

Yuan Tang took a closer look and saw that the bandits in the village were distributing a batch of weapons, bows, arrows, knives and guns, but not many, and the style was like that of the Red Army.

Luo Da warmly greeted Yuan Tang and said, "Little brother Yuan must have been drunk last night, no wonder he got up late. You missed a good thing. Brother Liu took me out to catch a lot of good things this morning."

Liu Yanping nodded with a smile.These days, there have been many Yichi people and Di people scattered around Wushan Mountain. Early this morning, Liu Yanping asked Luo Da to gather the villagers, attacked a group of dozens of Yichi people, and seized the opponent's weapons.

Although these scattered troops were not the main force, they were scattered in Wushan because the main force of the Yichi people was nearby. Liu Yanping actually asked the villagers to attack the scattered army of the Yichi people. Yuan Tang stared at Liu Yanping and said, "Brother Liu is so courageous. "

Luo Da happily shared the spoils with everyone. Liu Yanping walked over and said to Yuan Tang: "Don't worry about joining the army. The prefect of Fenzhou recently ordered King Ying to send troops to support Fengcheng. Now they are fighting Yichi. Don’t make a move to deal with us scattered people.”

Yuan Tang smiled and said, "I can't make room for the time being, but in case the Fenzhou Army loses and the Yi Chi people attack Aicheng, can you make room?"

Liu Yanping's smile paused, and he said humbly: "That's right, so the defense of the cottage must be prepared as soon as possible. It's best to find a way out first. What do you think about joining the army?"

Yuan Tang didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh at this time. Liu Yanping was serious about taking advantage of Wuzizhai's location and manpower this time, but he didn't intend to follow in the muddy water. ask me."

Whether it is recruiting people or building a cottage, it is outside Yuan Tang's plan.To put it bluntly, he and Liu Yanping have different opinions. Although he respects this long history, he doesn't want to fall into other people's tricks at all.

Yuan Tang wanted to set off with Yuan De to return to Muzhou as soon as possible, but the battle in the northern part of Fenzhou changed too quickly. The army of Fenzhou governor supporting King Ying was defeated by the Yichi people together with King Ying, and they either died or fled. Shi Ran took the opportunity to attack Behind Yichi, the northern part of Fenzhou fell into a melee.

Unavoidably, the war expanded, and the prefect of Fenzhou came to Aicheng to sit in person. Part of King Ying's army retreated and fled to Aicheng.

There are Yichi people and Shi Ran people wandering everywhere from Fengcheng to Aicheng. Under such circumstances, Yuan Tang did not dare to cross the battlefield with Yuan De rashly, and the plan of returning to the south was completely blocked.

Taking advantage of the melee between all parties, Wuzizhai not only recruited hundreds of warriors, but also successively seized weapons, food, grass and armor and other supplies that are necessary for upgrading military equipment. The trend of the second village master.

Yuan Tang couldn't leave, Liu Yanping came to Yuan De to help train soldiers, Yuan Tang turned a blind eye, even though Yuan De regarded him as the head of the family, he never restricted Yuan De's freedom, but he still didn't agree with Liu Yanping's plan .

Liu Yanping came to persuade Yuantang several times, but he couldn't leave, and Yuantang could only temporarily settle down in Wushan.

At the beginning of August of this year, three people who looked like officials suddenly came to Wuzizhai.

The new location of the cottage is relatively hidden, but many people come and go in and out of the village these days, and those who are interested have already noticed that Wuzizhai has moved.

Those three people were officials from Fenzhou Governor's Mansion, they wandered in the woods outside the village and were brought back by the villagers.

After Liu Yanping's careful management of Wuzizhai, and Yuan De's military training, he robbed Yichiren and Shiranren's stragglers a few times, and it has just become a climate.The officials came here on behalf of the governor of Fenzhou this time, and they wanted to borrow people from Wuzizhai to defend Ai City with the officers and soldiers of Fenzhou.

Luo University was still wary of the officers and soldiers of Fenzhou, but Liu Yanping had an expression of anticipating this day, and asked the officials of Fenzhou to come to the hall of the cottage to talk in detail.

The Yichi people and the Shi Ran people fought in a melee. Both sides wanted to capture Aicheng. The officials and troops of Fenzhou lost a lot when they supported Fengcheng, and they had to beware of Su Shoukui's erosion from Muzhou to the north, so they could not mobilize reinforcements.

For some unknown purpose, the governor of Fenzhou refused to welcome King Ying's defeated army, so he offended King Ying. King Ying's army had already retreated from Fenzhou. The attack was menacing, so people were called to all parts of Ai City.

The officials stayed in the stronghold for two days, and finally Liu Yanping and Luo Da decided to send people to help the officials and soldiers of the state to relieve the danger of Aicheng, but accordingly, Aicheng had to provide military pay and weapons to the stronghold.

Luo Daben was deeply suspicious about the aid to the war. After Liu Yanping lobbied and saw that Ai Cheng wanted to give money and food, he gradually laughed out of doubt, but was very happy that Zhaizi had earned a sum of food and water first.

At night, Luo Da set up several tables of wine, and invited Liu Yanping to sit down. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Yanping came to Yuantang's seat.

Liu Yanping looks gentle and gentle, and is out of tune with the people in the village, but he is kind. Luo Da dares to call Liu Yanping brothers, but Yuan Tang. Although he is handsome and good at martial arts, Luo Da does not dare to approach him. He still remembers Yuan Tang The scene of fighting a bloody road that night.

Liu Yanping came to sit down, and Luo Da simply asked someone else to compete for wine, and the table was half empty.

Liu Yanping did not persuade Yuantang to participate in the plan this time, he poured wine for Yuantang, and asked Yuantang and Yuan De to be the main generals, and the people from Wuzizhai to support Aicheng. In person, with Luo Da and other members of the village, I am afraid that the help in the battle will not help, but will lose manpower, which is not worth the loss.The most precious people in Wuzizhai are these people.

Yuan Tang couldn't fully agree with Liu Yanping's plan, but he stayed in the cottage for a few days, ate other people's rice and slept in his house, so he couldn't completely ignore it at this time.

Two days later, Yuantang and Yuan De rushed to Aicheng with 500 people from Wuzizhai.
