Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye didn't care about the wind and sand, so he suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise.

And the eldest grandson Yumo also stood up, but his face was excited, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, I just said that it will be exciting to come to the frontier. Hehe, the Tubo people will be killed later, and I will chop it up later." Let’s talk about the heads of a few bandits.”

As he spoke, he picked up a treasured sword brought from Chang'an's house from the ground, held it in his hand, and pretended to rush out to kill the thief.

Seeing this, Guo Ye said secretly, what a troublemaker.

As he said that, he pulled the elder Sun Yumo back, and shouted: "A sword has no eyes, it's not a joke, you calm me down first, and I will come forward to resolve this matter. No one is allowed to act rashly without my order!"

The tone of his speech was severe, and his face was even more solemn. This was the first time Chang Sun Yumo saw Guo Ye like this, and he calmed down a little bit with fear.

Guo Ye didn't pay any attention to this fellow, and asked directly: "Lieutenant Ge, how many troops are there in total? Did you name them?"

Ge Xiaowei said: "There are more than [-] people in total. Although they didn't name their name, they speak the accent of our Central Plains. My lord, we only have a hundred people. If Xichuan doesn't send troops over in time, we can only It's a bloody battle with these sand bandits to the end. Why don't your lord take the female relatives and the eldest grandson to escape from here and rush to Xichuan in the scuffle for a while, and leave it to us to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Ge Xiaowei puffed up his chest and promised: "My lord, don't worry, even if I sacrifice a hundred lives, I will delay the other party, so that my lord and others can escape from this place safely."

Guo Ye was quite moved when he heard the words, and he patted Lieutenant Ge on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't act rashly. Sand bandits within a hundred miles of Xichuan are unlikely to harm and rob Han people. This is the small capital of Xichuan that I was in before. When protecting the mansion, the rules were established. It is impossible for someone to easily tear up this agreement."

Speaking of this, Guo Ye asked again in a low voice: "Could there be some misunderstanding? Come on, let's go out and have a look first!"

After finishing speaking, he left the elder Sun Yumo who was holding a long sword, and walked out of the beacon tower together with Captain Ge.

At this time, it was almost dusk. Although the wind and sand were extremely strong, after Guo Ye walked out of the beacon tower, he still found sand bandits all around.

Suddenly, he found a person sitting on a horse dozens of steps ahead, surrounded by more than a dozen bandits to guard him, as if he was the leader of the group.

Taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides at this moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the man carefully, hey, wasn't this the fourth head of the Yellow River Gang, Scar Liu, who was ordered by him to go to Xichuan with Zhao Jiuchou that day, and was going to join Kang Bao?

Immediately, Guo Ye raised his voice and shouted: "Hey, the man riding the horse in front is Scar Liu?"

"Guo Ye?"

The other party also obviously hesitated for a while, and then responded: "You are Guo Ye and Guo Yushi? Oh my mother, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple! Master Guo, I am Scar Liu, the scar of the Yellow River Gang Liu!"

At the beginning, they looked alike, and now coupled with Scar Liu's unique voice like a trumpet, Guo Ye was 100% sure that the other party was Scar Liu.

But he really didn't know, didn't he let Zhao Jiuchou take his own handwritten letter and lead Dao Scar Liu to see Kang Bao and let them join the Xichuan Army?

Why, for no reason, Dao Scar Liu and his group became sand bandits who robbed roads and plundered money?

At this time, Dao Scar Liu had already dismounted, and hurried towards Guo Ye, looking very excited.

Chapter 553

It really is Scar Liu!

That man ran close to Guo Ye, the scar on his cheek was as ferocious as a centipede, wasn't it the unique signature of Scar Liu?

puff~

Dao Scar Liu knelt down suddenly, clasped his hands and cupped his fists and said: "Guo Engong, please be respected by Dao Scar Liu Yi, it's really not a pleasure to see him thousands of miles away today!"

After all, Dao Scar Liu not only didn't get up, but turned his head hurriedly and shouted at the hundreds of sand bandits not far behind him: "Brothers, what are you doing so stupidly? If it wasn't for Guo Engong's help that day, the big guys would still be here outside the Great Wall." Is the earth so happy? Don’t stick around like a log, learn from Lao Tzu, and kneel down to pay respects to Lord Engong Guo.”

In an instant, more than 300 good men got off their horses and knelt down, some put down their weapons and landed on their knees, and they clasped their hands one by one and shouted in unison:

"I'll pay my respects to Master Engong Guo!"

Lieutenant Ge beside Guo Ye was stunned by the scene in front of him. Even the elder Sun Yumo ran out of the beacon tower and stared dumbfounded at this turn of events.

The bandit's siege and night attack turned into a pilgrimage of gratitude.

This gap is really too big.

Guo Ye hurriedly helped Scar Liu up, and said, "Scar Liu, why do you still remember the things that happened in the past? Come on, get up."

After lifting up Scarred Liu, Guo Ye shouted to the members of the former Yellow River Gang in Sanbailai, "Brothers, get up, get up quickly."

After everyone got up, Guo Yecai asked: "Scarred Liu, what's the matter with you? I asked Zhao Jiuchou to lead you to serve Mr. Kang Baokang, why did you let the good frontier soldiers quit and start working again? Are you going to be a Sand Bandit?"

Scar Liu grinned, pulled the centipede-shaped scar and shook it off, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Well, Mr. Guo, it's windy and sandy outside, let's go in first and then talk about it."

Guo Ye was eager to know the answer, nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk after you go in, you have to explain everything to me."

Leaving everyone outside, Guo Ye led Scar Liu into the Beacon Tower, and even Ge Xiaowei was ordered by Guo Ye to stay outside.

In the room, the eldest grandson Yumo sat by the campfire and looked at Guo Ye and Scar Liu, while Zhen Niang obediently continued laying hay to prepare a bed for Guo Ye.

Dao Scar Liu untied the sheepskin wine pouch at his waist, gulped it down a few times, clicked his tongue twice, and praised: "Hey, this is a burning knife produced in Lingzhou. It was bought in the big market in Ali Tucheng. Yes, Master Guo, do you want to try it?"

As he said that, he made a gesture to hand over the wine bag to Guo Ye.

Guo Ye resolutely refused: "No need, don't talk about it, talk about it quickly, why let the Xichuan army quit, but start the old business of robbery?"

Dao Scar Liu tied the wine bag to his waist again, touched the back of his head and said with a little shame: "Master Guo, it is said that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. It is really true! We have indeed entered Kang Baokang. Your Excellency’s Xichuan Army, and stayed for a while, but the Xichuan Army has too many rules. No gambling, no drinking, no whoring, and you have to get up early every day for morning exercises. How can we brothers bear these things? We can bear everything. But the key is that those in the Xichuan Army look down on our brothers at all, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to let go of the good officers and soldiers and become bandits, right?”

Guo Ye asked without hesitation: "Why do you look down on you?"

Dao Scar Liu said: "Most of their Xichuan Army are from Longxi, and they didn't like foreigners like us from the very beginning. And the most hateful thing is Cheng Erniu, the captain of the [-] cavalry of the Xichuan Army. He is arrogant, and he speaks aggressively. Every time we practice, it is you Yellow River bandits, you gangsters who open and shut our mouths. If we refuse to obey, this guy will grab a stick and beat him up. Mr. Guo, isn’t this grandson clearly a bully? Is it? Anyway, I, Dao Scar Liu, is also the fourth head of the Yellow River Gang, so I have a bit of face in the world, don't I?"

Scar Liu Fei spat out so much acid, Guo Ye could almost understand what was going on.

First of all, the Xichuan Army was mainly formed by the children of Longxi, which more or less condensed the local concept and had the habit of xenophobic.This made people like Dao Scar Liu find no sense of belonging in the army.

Secondly, the Xichuan army has eaten the royal rations of the imperial court for many years, and they are superior to others, especially those who joined the army halfway from the bandits of the Yellow River Gang, naturally they have a sense of superiority.

In the last point, Guo Ye felt quite helpless. Cheng Erniu was such a character, especially after commanding eight hundred white-robed cavalry, he was so frightened.Let this kid do the drill, and Huang He will appoint these people to suffer, because it is impossible to expect a rough man like Cheng Erniu to reason with you in a gentle manner.

Especially under the precepts and deeds of some of his bad habits, Cheng Erniu has cultivated a bad concept.That is cursing and violence. This guy must think that dutiful sons are born under the stick, and fierce soldiers are born under the army stick.

Alas, it seems that Kangbao has not grown enough in Xichuan these years, and obviously the ability to control the overall situation is still insufficient.

Immediately, Guo Ye asked: "Because of these, you left the Xichuan Army and started working as bandits again?"

"Isn't that right? We've all been bullied into such ugly grandsons. If I stay there with my brothers, I'll be ashamed? I'm here to kill the enemy and serve the country, not to be a punching bag for Cheng Erniu. Don’t you think so? Mr. Guo.”

Dao Scar Liu's expression was obviously a little excited, and he continued to shout in a high-pitched voice: "Hundreds of brothers are following me, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at me, I can't let everyone surnamed Cheng play like a ball, right? "

Guo Ye shook his head secretly. It really is true that the habits of the world have not changed, and it is indeed not suitable for life in the army.

It seems that I took it for granted before.

Then he said apologetically, "Scar Liu, I, Guo Ye, didn't think carefully and made you and the brothers of the Yellow River Gang feel wronged."

"No, no, no." Dao Scar Liu hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, "Master Guo, don't say that, you brothers and sisters will never forget your kindness. Besides, we are indeed happy here, all this is because Mr. Guo took care of him."

It is said that Hua Mulan doesn't like red makeup and prefers armed forces; this scar Liu is interesting, she doesn't like being a soldier but a bandit.Maybe, this is just nature?
