Great Song Pirate

Chapter 241 Bandits (First Arrival)
Xu Yi gave Li Mutian a big roll of his eyes, Li Mutian laughed and sat aside, Xu Yi then took out the letter from his arms.

After opening the envelope, there was a thin piece of letter paper inside, still exuding a fragrance like an orchid, which made Xu Yi smell it. It is pleasing to the eye, there is not much to say on the whole paper, just the poems and words written by Xu Yi in Yingxian's arms that day, nothing else, Xu Yi did not think of the words that he recited casually with drunkenness. The first poem by Tang Bohu was also firmly remembered by Li Shishi, and it was collected, and it became Xu Yi's masterpiece. It was a bit dumbfounding, but as to why Li Shishi only copied his two poems to him, Xu Yi asked Some can't figure out why.

When Xu Yi was still thinking hard, Li Mutian couldn't help being curious and stretched his head to come over. After looking at the handwriting on the letter paper, he couldn't help but praise: "The words are good words, and the poetry is even better! Wonderful! It’s really wonderful! Talented men match beautiful women! Hehe! Is this poem also written by Brother Xu? Why didn’t I know? ! My little brother admires it!"

"Go! It's just something I got after drinking. What's so good about it? Let me ask you, this letter from Mr. Li doesn't write anything, but only includes two poems of mine. Why? Can you figure it out?" Xu Yi folded the letter carefully, put it in an envelope and put it in his arms again and asked Li Mutian.

Now Li Mutian immediately pulled up, shook his head and pretended to be an expert in some field, and said sourly: "Don't you understand? She actually wants to show you her heart, which means that she has put you in her heart , Needless to say, it is more appropriate than eloquently saying how I miss you, how come Brother Xu doesn't even know this!"

As a result, after getting another big stare from Xu Yi, he shut up again.

Since he couldn't figure it out clearly, Xu Yi didn't take it too seriously. He had no intention of trying to capture Li Shishi's heart, but he just satisfied his imagination and got to know the famous Li Shishi himself in history. Now that he has achieved his goal, as for Li Shishi thinking about him, let her think about it.

"Mutian! How will we arrange the journey below?" Xu Yi asked.

"After we crossed the Yellow River, we entered the boundary of Hebei West Road, and then went to Xiangzhou and Daxingzhou. After arriving there, I'm afraid I will part with Brother Xu, and I will go to Zhending, Hejian and other places to buy some goods and pack them up. After looking at the family business there, it is estimated that they will go upstream along the Yellow River, arrive at Daming Mansion, and then turn around Hangzhou, but Brother Xu, don’t worry, if Brother Xu wants to buy and measure steel in Xingzhou, I will arrange transportation for Brother Xu For the matter, first transport the steel purchased by brother Xu to Zhengzhou by land, then change to water, take the Bianhe River to Yangzhou, and then ship it to Yangzhou to go to sea!" Li Mutian arranged.

Regarding the place names in the Song Dynasty, Xu Yi always felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't get the right number. He just knew where Xiangzhou was in the later generations. It turns out that Xiangzhou is also Anyang in the later generations, and Li Mutian said go. The Yellow River was going upstream, so he didn't understand, so he asked Li Mutian how he came to Daming Mansion by water from Hejian.

Li Mutian looked at Xu Yi and felt that he was sometimes very shrewd, but he was always confused about geography?But thinking that he was originally a turtle, it was understandable that he didn’t know the geography of the Song Dynasty, so he patiently explained it to him. After explaining this way, Xu Yi understood that the direction of the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty and the Yellow River in later generations were completely different. Because of the huge amount of sediment in the Yellow River water, the riverbed is often silted up, so the Yellow River in history has been constantly diverted. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River went north in Zhengzhou, instead of heading south like Bianliang, Lankao, etc. It enters the Bohai Sea via Shandong, but enters the sea in Tianjin through Hebei along the way. After a lot of effort, Xu Yi finally figured out these things, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. One set, but always making low-level mistakes in geography, so going on like this is not the way to go, just find a way to get a map for reference.

Li Mutian led the way. Because it is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the security situation here is relatively good, and there is basically no danger. The endless torrential river, Xu Yi once again expressed emotion, he has reached the Yellow River anyway, this river is called the mother river of the Chinese nation, it is she who nurtured the Chinese civilization, so that the Chinese nation stands on the top of the world For thousands of years, if there is no Yellow River, I am afraid there will be no Chinese nation!But the same mother river has also brought heavy disasters to the Chinese nation. Since the establishment of the Chinese civilization, there have been continuous records of the Yellow River breach in history. The children and grandchildren suffered a lot. At least where he is standing now, the later generations will be the river of the Yellow River. Therefore, Xu Yi has a deep sense of awe for this mother river.

Everyone boarded a boat at the ferry of the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, and walked all the way to Xiangzhou. At this time, many people who had fled began to appear on the road. The not-so-wide official road was even more crowded. Xu Yi was a little puzzled by the large number of refugees in front of him. Didn't he fight the Jin people yet?Why are there so many refugees?So I stopped to find some refugees and asked about it after giving them some food.

After asking, I found out that it was the old thief Tong Guan who caused the trouble. The old man led troops to the northern expedition to the Liao Kingdom. Although the Song Army was not the opponent of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao people beat the shit out of them, and fled back without armor and armor. These incompetent people can't beat the Liao people, but they are very good at dealing with their own people. Most of the generals of the Song Army don't restrain their officers and soldiers very much. Wherever the officers and soldiers pass by, they are like locusts, eating one place after another. After all, the people in the north were not rich. They used all sorts of pretexts to plunder and plunder, making these people unable to live. All the slightly more valuable things were robbed. There are even unscrupulous people who blatantly rob and humiliate women. It can be said that they have done all the bad things. In addition, after the Song and Liao rebellion, the Liao people continued to have remnant soldiers across the border to plunder the land of the Song people. Compared with the officers and soldiers, they were even more brutal. Several times, finally it was the Jin people who occupied Yanjing and other places, and beat the Liao soldiers there to death. It turned out that the Jin people were worse than the Liao people, and they actually joined the ranks of scourges in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. Some Jin soldiers found all kinds of excuses to harass the Song people, and they simply regarded the Song people here as cash machines, and robbed them if they wanted money. People in many places in the north couldn't live anymore, so they had to move their families south I hope to avoid the scourge of swordsmen, and wait until the north settles down one day before going back.

After listening to these refugees' narration, Xu Yi was filled with indignation and sorrow again. No matter what dynasty, as long as the swordsmen are together, these people will be the first victims, and the most victims will be the people!It seems that the situation in the north is still deteriorating and has not deviated from the original track. He can only look up at the giant cart of history with the same awe, but he has no power to stop it. He knows that these people who fled early , Compared with those people who are still sticking to their ancestral property, they may be considered lucky. After the Jin soldiers enter the customs, I am afraid that the remaining people will suffer a hundred times more. As for them, they want to wait until the north is stable. It is basically impossible to realize the wish of the family. Zhao Gou, a bastard, has no intention of taking back the world of his Zhao family. He only hopes that these people can find a better place to stay in the south!
Xu Yi called Li Bo over, bowed his head and confessed in a low voice, Li Bo immediately arranged for someone to release the pigeons, and everyone went against the flow of people and walked towards Xiangzhou again.

The car rattling, Ma Xiaoxiao, they traveled all the way north, gradually entered the mountain road, and the pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and Xu Yi and the others also became nervous, put away the original relaxed state, the reason It is said that there are many robbers entrenched in the mountains here, and they often attack nearby villages and towns. Most of these robbers are poor people who have been forced by the government to survive, so they have no choice but to gather in the mountains and forests. It is hard to say whether they are good or bad people by robbing rich families, but in the eyes of Xu Yi and Li Mutian, once these people set their sights on themselves, it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, they will definitely be snatched away. .

For this reason, they also accelerated their marching speed. Li Bo and others took their weapons from the car again and put them on their waists. Bandits, Li Bo was confident that the dozens of brothers he brought with him could still handle it.

After two days of driving, Tangyin was getting closer and closer, but seeing the sky getting late, even if they continued on their way, they might not be able to make it in time to stay in Xiangzhou, so after discussing with Xu Yi, Li Bo decided Hurry to a post station ten miles away to settle down, and then go on the road after dawn tomorrow.

As they walked, everyone carefully observed the movement around them. It was getting late now, and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. Among this kind of mountain roads, robbers were most likely to be ambushed, and everyone had to be careful, but Xu Yi didn't do it right now. I was worried about this matter, but when I heard Li Mutian say that he was coming to Tangyin soon, he thought of a person, but he didn't know if he had left home to join the army, or stayed at home to serve his parents.

But things in the world are often just what they are afraid of, and they will come. They just passed a foot of a mountain when they heard a sound of clappers. out of their way!

(Important masters are about to appear on the stage, brothers, guess who will show up? Liao is begging for votes! If you want Liao to continue to explode, brothers, don’t be stingy with the reminder tickets in your hands! Let’s smash Liao’s head! Hehe)
