Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1129: Ranger of the Tang Dynasty
War is by no means just a matter for the courts and armies of the two countries.

Whether the relationship between the courts of the two countries is friendly or hostile is often the weather vane of the people.

When courts and courts are hostile to each other, conflicts between the people of the two countries will naturally arise. This kind of conflict comes naturally but is inexplicable. Sometimes even without any specific incidents, conflicts and hatred arise out of no reason.

"Same hatred and hatred" and "one loss and one harm", from ancient times to the present, the interests of the common people are closely linked with the court, and the capital is constantly being cut.

Therefore, the hatred between the fishermen of Dengzhou and the fishermen of Goguryeo also exists as a matter of course, and it is getting deeper and deeper.

When the fishermen heard that Huyi City had been conquered and that the harbor city of Goguryeo had fallen into the hands of the Tang army, they were very excited.

The fishermen don't understand the national war, but the humiliation of Yicheng is actually related to the interests of the fishermen in Dengzhou. The arrogance of the fishermen in Goguryeo is suppressed, and the fishermen in Dengzhou will naturally have a better life in the future.

The fishermen who talked more and more happily walked as if they were carrying the wind, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"Master Wang is mighty and invincible. If Goguryeo is destroyed, those Goguryeo bastards will kneel down to greet us when they meet us at sea." A fisherman laughed.

Another fisherman shook his head and said: "You are not an official of the Tang Dynasty, even if others are subjugated people, there is no need to kneel down to you."

"But what is certain is that in the waters from Dengzhou to Huyicheng in the future, those bastards in Goguryeo will not dare to compete with us for fishing areas. They have to hide far away from the places where we cast nets. Who told them that they have already perished It's over."

"Speaking of it, I still want to thank our Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty. It was not easy for the soldiers, and they worked hard. They gave our people face and confidence."

The fishermen nodded in agreement.

After a moment of silence, another fisherman said in a low voice: "I heard that Master Wang's sacrifice was not small. A month ago, outside Goguryeo's Black Bone City, [-] Mohe Shiwei and other foreign cavalry raided the rear of our Master Wang. Fortunately, they were left behind. The Master Wang outside the Bone City has noticed."

"There is a great hero. He is the grandson of the Duke of England. He is also a son of the rich and powerful. He has earned the title of 'Duke of Weinan County' by his own ability. His name is Li Qinzai."

"Twenty thousand foreign cavalry raided the camp outside Black Bone City. It was this Li Shuai who led the five thousand king's soldiers who stayed behind to fight. The cavalry didn't rush over, but the more they fought, the more frightened they became."

The fishermen immediately stood in awe: "It's really a blessing for the whole country to have such a hero in my Tang Dynasty!"

The well-informed fisherman sighed, and said: "We carried [-] cavalry for a day and a night, but Li Shuai and the [-] soldiers under his command also suffered heavy casualties. Finally, when reinforcements came, the [-] foreign cavalry were wiped out, but Li Shuai Of the five thousand soldiers, there are only a hundred or so left, and all of them are wounded."

"Even Li Shuai himself was seriously injured. He was in a coma for two days and two nights. Most of his body was in the gate of hell. He almost couldn't be saved..."

"Our officials in the Tang Dynasty, some are honest, some are greedy, and some rely on their ancestors and fathers to prosper. Although this Li Shuai is the grandson of Yinggong, he has never relied on his ancestors, and his temper is very strong. , If you don’t retreat, you won’t retreat, and you will die on the battlefield.”

Speaking of which, the fishermen couldn't help but arched their hands in the direction of Goguryeo, and said: "He is a great man and a great hero. He deserves the worship of us common people. For this, I should also be grateful to Fu Bai."

All the fishermen also bowed their hands in the direction of Goguryeo, with admiration on their faces.

"I don't know what kind of demeanor that Li Shuai is. When Wang Shidong went to the east, many soldiers set off from our Dengzhou port. I don't know if there is Li Shuai among them."

The well-informed fisherman smiled and said: "A distant nephew of mine is now serving as a soldier under the command of Sun Renshi, the commander of the navy. I met him at the naval station at the port the day before yesterday. He told me that the emperor has ordered to recall Li from Goguryeo. Handsome, go back to Chang'an to recuperate."

"I'm afraid that Li Shuai will take a boat to our Dengzhou in these two days. If you want to see Li Shuai's demeanor, you can wait for him at the port. You will definitely wait for him."

The fishermen's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said: "If we can really see that Li Shuai from afar, it will be our blessing. Don't go far away from fishing in the past two days, and stay near the port. If you see a navy ship coming , let's wait by the side of the road and pay respects to this Shuai Li from afar, as a token of our appreciation."

Everyone should be.

The fishermen talked a lot and laughed loudly from time to time, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Among the crowd passing by the roadside, a young man dressed as a samurai in a short shirt lazily followed the fishermen with half-closed eyes.

This man is not a fisherman, but a ranger.

Datang's rangers are very famous, but in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, "Youxia" was not a good word.

Because this kind of people is too complicated, the street gangsters who are brave and brave in the streets call themselves rangers, and those who do nothing to help the rich also call themselves rangers, which makes the grade of the ranger group drop slowly. It's just as unremarkable as the low-level ones.

However, there are also some people with real abilities among the rangers. They live in the world, act chivalrously, have no specific occupation and no source of income, but what is interesting is that they never seem to be short of money.

They are prohibited by force, they are unscrupulous, they only act according to their own preferences, and they also use their own judgment to determine the good and evil in the world, so that they replace the government to choose punishment privately from the perspective of civil law enforcers.

But it is undeniable that this type of people are highly skilled and can beat people as well as beat them.

The young ranger followed the fishermen for a long time. He didn't follow the fishermen, but when he was bored, the things the fishermen talked about made him interested.

"Weinan county magistrate Li Qinzai? Hehe, he is quite a character." You Xiaer muttered to himself.

The fishermen have reached the port, and there are many small fishing boats moored on the water surface of the port. For these fishermen who depend on the sea for their livelihood, these small fishing boats are their jobs and their homes, and some even the whole family They all lived on the boat for many years.

The port is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.Many fishermen returned from the sea, their cabins were full of catches, and some were downcast, apparently they were not lucky when they cast their nets recently.

There are also many traders yelling at the port, buying the fruits of the fishermen's catch, all kinds of fish, all kinds of prices, bustling with fireworks.

Several small fishing boats docked quietly on the shore, and a group of men dressed as fishermen disembarked, silently shuttled through the crowd, and walked out of the port.

The fishermen who were talking about the Goguryeo war just passed by this group of men who had just landed. One of the fishermen suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" asked a fisherman.

"Something's wrong, the group of people who passed by just now don't seem to be fishermen..."

"They didn't write on their faces, how did you see that?"

"I have been fishing for half my life, and I dare not say anything else. I don't even need to see if the other party is a fisherman, but I can tell by smelling it."

Speaking of which, the fisherman looked towards the direction where the group of people were going away, and said slowly: "I dare to swear on the tablet of my ancestors, the group of people just now are definitely not fishermen. What's interesting is that they just got off the fishing boat."
