However, just when Qin Ge thought he was going to die, a golden shadow appeared next to him, it was Xu Huang. Golden light surged from Xu Huang's body, and his fists merged together, and a golden light as dazzling as the scorching sun bloomed all over his body. He struck out with both fists at Hu Cai. How could Hu Cai be Xu Huang's opponent? Moreover, Xu Huang used real power to attack with anger. force. The fists of the two people intersected, and Hu Cai screamed and flew away. The blazing demonic flames on his body were directly shaken away. He flew out and knocked down a stone pillar. Hu Cai was smashed into the rocks behind the hall. He was extremely miserable and miserable. His orifices were bleeding, and he pointed at Xu Huang in shame and anger and said: "You bastard! How dare you..." Xu Huang looked at Hu Cai with a cold expression. At the same time, he had an extra double-edged mountain ax in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to fight with Hu Cai.
"Gongming!" Yang Feng shouted, and at the same time blocked Xu Huang who was about to take action. Xu Huang, who belonged to Yang Feng, put away the battle ax in his hand and sneered provocatively at Hu Cai with disdain. Hu Cai knew he was defeated by Xu Huang and was lifted out of the rubble by several leaders. He did not dare to say anything and walked aside with a gloomy expression.
Mrs. Guo did not expect that Hu Cai would suddenly attack because he was anxious about the war with Dongyue soldiers. Moreover, Xu Huang, a guy who had always been silent and existed like an invisible man, could be so terrifying and be able to severely injure Hu Cai so easily. And it was obvious just now He made a murderous move against Hu Cai. Yang Feng originally fought against Guo Tai, but he didn't expect that his generals were stronger, which made Guo Tai feel the crisis.
"General Qin is right. What everyone is talking about is the word righteousness. I, Yang Feng, swear that I will not attack Yanzhou until the Goryeo Tartars are wiped out! But we brothers also need to eat. This..." Yang Feng stood up. Take a stand first and draw a clear line with Hu Cai immediately. He will not let himself get a reputation of treachery. This made Guo Tai fearful even more, because there were many factions within the Baibo Army, and each leader worked for his own army. During the Yanzhou robbery, Yang Feng's troops looted the most prosperous Shanyang County in Yanzhou and the surrounding counties. Although Liu Guan and Zhang San were The brothers appeared in time and retreated after several days of fierce fighting. However, under the leaders of the Baibo bandits, they were the ones that harvested the most food and supplies. Now that Yang Feng's soldiers and horses were strong and his momentum was strong, there was a faint tendency to overwhelm Guo Tai, and Yang Feng's confidants Xu Huang was unparalleled in bravery and fought like a god, which made Yang Feng even more powerful. Now that Yang Feng bypassed him to express his attitude, it can be said that his ambition is obvious.
Mrs. Guo saw that Yang Feng and Xu Huang supported Qin Ge, and she was a little unsure about their attitude. However, Qin Ge was too famous, and when Hu Cai invaded Dongjun not long ago, they had just fought against Dongyue soldiers, and they also learned their lesson. Having experienced the power of Liberty City, he did not dare to neglect and clasped his fists and said: "General Qin's righteousness is well known to everyone in the world. My brothers are just making a living. I will bear in mind General Qin's warning! But what Brother Yang said is right. , so many of our brothers can’t just eat, drink, and have diarrhea!” After saying that, she asked a few boys to help the seriously injured Hu Cai down. Hu Cai was her confidant, and Mrs. Guo couldn’t let him go. She quickly lowered her stance and only hoped that he would be able to do this in the future. Don't publicize things too much in the green forest.
Qin Ge had been sitting on the sidelines watching everything that had just happened, as if it had nothing to do with him. But through a brief exchange, he had already figured out the situation of the Baibo Army. In any case, the Baibo bandits committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. For the people of Yanzhou, It is a cancer that must be scraped off. However, the current Baibo army has strong horses and famous generals. He is unable to destroy the Baibo bandits. However, there are many hills inside the Baibo army. The bandit leaders are not in harmony with each other. It seems that the solution is to break them one by one. The Baibo bandit's winning method.
Qin Ge clasped his fists and said: "I believe that all of you are upright men and will not be unjust and unjust people. What happened today is just a joke to Brother Hu Cai and me. Of course, people have to eat when they are alive. When I come, We have discussed with Governor Liu Dai and the nobles in various states and counties. They will regularly provide you with a batch of food and grass as your rations in exchange for peace in Yanzhou. As for how much food and grass we can provide you every month, I can You can negotiate on your own, but I want to remind you that people all over the world are in poverty now, and everyone must live a tight life!" Qin Ge also had no intention of provoking a conflict with the Baibo bandits, so he borrowed the Poxia donkey and gave it to Guo Tai and Yang Feng face.
After hearing this, Mrs. Guo and others all praised Qin Ge as a true hero with great righteousness and broad mind. They all agreed with Qin Ge's proposal because the general trend was now, and Qin Ge had such a tough attitude and was famous in Yanzhou. Finally, Guo Tai and others betrayed Qin Ge and said they would send envoys to negotiate peace with Liu Dai.
After the business was settled, the bandit leaders even found a large number of beauties to serve Qin Ge. It can be said that they used the highest etiquette. Qin Ge was not interested in this, so he declined to leave because of his official duties. He did not stay longer and stayed in Xu Huang's house. Escorted all the way out of the Baibo Valley, Qin Ge cupped his fists at Xu Huang and said, "Thank you Gongming for your righteous action, otherwise I will die today!"
Xu Huang said with an expressionless face and clasped his fists: "The Goryeo barbarians are burning, killing and looting in the northern border. Your Excellency is the only hope for the common people of the Han Dynasty. Xu is just a man of justice! I wish you a triumphant return!" After speaking, he turned around. Went straight back to the camp.
Qin Ge looked at the tall and straight body and sighed: "It's such a pity that such a majestic and heroic body has been reduced to a bandit. He can't follow me across the northern border and become a marquis and worship the prime minister!" Xu Huang, who had not gone far, was shocked when he heard this. Then he quickly stepped into the Baibo Valley.
Qin Ge looked at the majestic Baibo Valley, raised a meaningful smile on his lips, and drove away with Po Jun.
After returning to the camp, Liu Dai watched Qin Ge come back safe and sound. At this time, he felt frightened towards Qin Ge. Qin Ge was just an ant-like evolver, but he dared to face the six Baibo bandits alone. The bandit leader who made the Yanzhou nobles fearful, with such a life-threatening energy, there is nothing a person like this can do! Qin Gejiang talked about the results of the discussion with Mrs. Guo and others, shrugged and said: "Now we can only lose money to avoid disaster! I will also go to Zang Ba's place to talk! You guys pay some money and supplies, and spend money to keep yourself safe. !”
Liu Dai thought to Xiao Jiujiu: "Now this is also a temporary measure, but Taishan County is close to the Taishan Bandits and also close to the Baibo Bandits. Do we need more supplies and food?" Liu Dai now knows the Taishan County Sheriff. Ying Shao had been sidelined a long time ago, and now all military and political affairs in Taishan County were decided by the Free Leader, so he discussed it directly with Qin Ge.
Qin Ge shook his head and said with a smile: "Liu Governor, you haven't figured out the situation yet. Those gangsters want protection money! My freedom is in Taishan County, and I just want to see who dares to receive the protection money from me. On the head, even if I, surnamed Qin, want to give it, can they take it?" Hearing Qin Ge's tough words, Liu Dai suddenly softened, smiled awkwardly and said, "Then during this Northern Expedition, when will General Qin be able to give it to me? When we return to Yanzhou, we all work together to eradicate these two groups of bandits! It can be regarded as eradicating harm to the people!" Qin Ge did not answer, but let out a long sigh.
Liu Dai felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. He naturally knew the danger of this battle. Qin Ge might not be alive for long.
…
In Liberty City, the streets were deserted. Qin Ge led the Northern Expedition into Taishan County and led all the way to Liberty City. The news of Qin Ge's return spread like wildfire. Man Chong, Yu Jin, Wei Sanniang and others were already ten miles away. The long pavilion welcomed him, and the people rushed to tell each other. The crowds of people around the long pavilion were like going to a market.
When Qin Ge led the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun and the mighty Northern Expedition Army, Man Chong, Yu Jin, Mao Jie, Wei Sanniang and other senior leaders of the Free Leaders knelt on the ground and kowtowed together, and the people spontaneously followed They knelt down and worshiped, and the shouts shook the heaven and the earth.
Looking at the familiar figures and faces in front of him, stepping on the warm land under his feet again, Qin Ge felt like he was reincarnated. He knew that this was his foundation. During this period, he was trapped in the strange Luoyang. He keeps his tail between his legs and pretends to be a grandson at all times, and he must always be on guard against someone secretly plotting and plotting. He may also be attacked and annihilated inexplicably, and he has to bear all this on his own. And when he returned to his hometown of Taishan County, Qin Ge felt as if he was bathed in sunshine. All the complicated emotions in his heart surged into his throat. He took a deep breath and shouted to the sky: "I'm back!"
On a carriage not far away following Qin Ge, it was the four Yingchun girls who brought Qin Ge from Luoyang. They were all various Confucian classics presented by Zhu Jun, the three Confucian and Taoist sages, and Xun Yu. Qin Ge also learned a lesson from Confucius: Five Cheats of Learning to Get Rich! .
Seeing such a scene in the Free Territory, the four maids Ying Xia murmured: "Those gentry children said that my sworn brother came from a remote and barbaric land. I think that although the life of the people here is not as prosperous as that of Luoyang, the people are very happy and have great respect for righteousness." Brother, I love you very much!" Qin Ge was also deeply grateful to the four women for their meticulous care after his mental exhaustion. However, living alone with a man and a woman in the same room, especially taking care of Qin Ge's daily life, was inconvenient, so Xun Yu let Xun Yu With brothers Xun and Chen as witnesses, Qin Ge recognized the four girls as adopted sisters! The Xun brothers saw that Qin Ge was not a womanizer even at a young age, and they deeply admired his determination.
They knew that Qin Ge was influenced by modern thoughts and had a tradition of pursuing love and marriage. The four Yingchun people's humble obedience to him made Qin Ge really unable to feel any love. It just made him feel unusually awkward, so they sent them Considered a foster sister. Qin Ge has always been a gentleman to the four girls, and with his current status, he helped the four girls get rid of their status as slaves. The four girls were naturally grateful and recognized Qin Ge as their lord on the spot, and their loyalty directly became die-hard loyalty. The four girls getting along are no longer as awkward as before.
Qiushi and the other four girls traveled all the way this time. The states and counties were deserted and starved everywhere. Human tragedies were being staged everywhere. This completely refreshed their world view for them who had been accustomed to seeing rich clothes and fine food in Luoyang. When we arrived in Taishan County, although there were refugees everywhere, they had houses to live in and clothes to wear, and the free officials and generals were all wearing coarse cloth. Even Wei Sanniang was dressed in linen, and she was one with the people. The four girls opened their eyes and said: "The children of the gentry are living and dreaming in the capital, regardless of the life and death of the people in the world. Now the era of great war is coming. In the future, heroes like the sworn brother will be the ones who lead the world's trend!" They can feel it firsthand! To the people's love for Qin Ge.
Qin Ge helped everyone up one by one. When he saw Wei Sanniang, she was already in tears. The softest part of Qin Ge's heart couldn't help but hurt, and he said softly: "I've made you suffer!"
Wei Sanniang stroked Qin Ge's face and choked up: "Just now, all the adults said in private that you have changed, big brother. It's like a different person. They said that you have become a monarch, but I know that every time Every edge is smoothed, and the flesh is cut from the soul with a knife. Only after experiencing thousands of tempers, torture and pain can we continue to change. The number of changes in your body now shows how much pain you have suffered in Luoyang. !" The young chivalrous man back then has turned into the man who is now responsible for the safety of the world. Qin Ge and Wei Sanniang were heartbroken to see the earth-shaking changes when they left.
After hearing this, Qin Ge could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. His eyes were filled with moisture. He took Wei Sanniang into his arms and said with emotion: "You still understand me best. With your words, all this suffering is worth it." !" All the generals understood that this kind of small farewell was better than a newlywed, and stepped aside wisely.
Due to the huge crowds of people, Qin Ge simply put away his troops, took Wei Sanniang with the support of the generals, and walked towards Liberty City on foot, constantly greeting the people along the way. Due to the continuous influx of refugees, Taishan County is now overwhelmed, with refugees almost all over the mountains and plains, shoulder to shoulder.
"Lord! All our territory has been taken back. Liu Dai and the Yanzhou nobles vomited out everything they ate, and I even made them bleed! Those Xiaoxiao who were ready to move have all been eliminated, and half of the land in Taishan County has been Under our control, now only the evil wolf Zang Ba is left! If we can control the entire territory of Mount Tai, many refugee problems will be solved!" Man Chong looked at the refugees all over the mountains and plains, and also saw Qin Ge's worries, Then he told Qin Ge the situation during this period. Although he united with Zang Ba to launch a desperate counterattack against Liu Dai, the Yanzhou nobles and the Holy Shield Society, Man Chong was very hostile to Zang Ba from the bottom of his heart. After seeking the skin of a tiger, the situation in Taishan County is gradually stabilizing. Man Chong means to prepare to take action against Zang Ba.
Qin Ge knew very clearly about the affairs of Liberty City through the intelligence network. He nodded lightly and said: "But the root of governance lies in conspiracy. You can often gain a lot by using conspiracy, but you can also lose a lot, which is very harmful to the foundation, so When we govern, we should try our best to use conspiracy, and we cannot use conspiracy unless we have to! As for Xuan Gao, from now on you and Wen Ze must stick to the same principle. If he doesn't let me down, I will not let him down!" Qin Ge and Xun Yu get along day and night, and when it comes to governing, Dao had a deep understanding, and after listening to Qin Ge's words, Man Chong found that these words contained a lot of information, and he had to consider it carefully, and now Qin Ge made him feel more and more unfathomable.
Man Chong pointed to a group of scholars in robes standing in front of the refugees not far away, and pointed to a middle-aged scholar in his thirties with a skinny body and a wounded face in the lead: "This time the Taishan bandits counterattacked all the people in Taishan County. The county and town made those famous families realize the reality. This person is Yang Xian, the current patriarch of the Yang family!" Man Chong whispered in Qin Ge's ear: "Yang Xian was hanged naked by Zang Ba in the General Pavilion that day. After five days and four nights, my body has not recovered yet. The young man next to Yang Xian is Yang Mi, one of the three heroes of the Yang family that my lord told me!"
