stubborn thief

Chapter 195
Bailiuxi was riding a horse on the way to Heshui County.

The mighty team lined up on several trails on the mountain ridge, and the ragged bandit soldiers led their horses and mules and walked away.

As one of the thieves in the Qingyang Mansion, Bai Liuxi was no different from the other leaders. He had more or less subordinates, stronger and weaker troops, and his momentum also swirled up and down.

The only difference is that she is a woman.

Bai Liuxi is a native of Huan County in the north of Qingyang Prefecture. He was born in a music family, but he can’t compose music and play the piano. Since elementary school, he has danced knives and guns, and is good at Yang Paifeng. .

In the end, before it was too late, thieves rebelled everywhere. Seeing that her livelihood was in trouble, the old lady who often played Taijun She wanted to find a safe place for her to be a matchmaker.

I really found one, and the officials and eunuchs planned to buy her as a concubine.

This family, at the highest level, can transport salt from the fourth grade to the same knowledge. If you want an official position, you have an official position, if you want a status, you have a status, and if you want money, you have money.

Only Tongzhi, who transported salt from Sipin, was the buyer's son.

Master Tongzhi looked down on this matter and didn't plan to give money; Tongzhi's father insisted on asking the class leader to send him over here.

Things get in trouble.

Later, the old man sent servants to pick them up, and he beat up all the troupe. They neither wanted to let the servants snatch Bailiuxi away, nor did they dare to fight with the servants. The men stood outside and stood firm. beaten.

All of them were beaten with blue noses, swollen faces, and bloody heads.

In the end, the old team leader went to stop him, but he was kicked in the heart, and he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.

Bai Liuxi and the Wusheng Wudans, the ones who draw knives, the ones who swing guns... To be honest, they are not very powerful.

Although they have played with weapons all their lives, most people have never fought anyone in their lives.

And when it comes to martial arts, they are very proficient, but the martial arts they practice are not the same as Liu Chengzong's.

Liu Chengzong's kind of martial arts, the purpose of long-term training is to hit and kill.

The martial arts of people like Bai Liuxi, the purpose of long-term training is to avoid and inaccurate.

One of the splits sat on the ground and kept shaking, and the other stabbed quickly and anxiously with a flower gun, but the goal was not to hit the hit, but to miss it.

That's why it's rather embarrassing to fight. Others greet each other according to the key points, while they run to avoid others and stab them.

Those who use knives and guns are not very good, but Bai Liuxi picked up a stick and knocked four or five people into howls.

For a moment, his hands were heavy and he killed someone.

Later, she took the opera troupe to bury the old troupe leader, and fell grass in the mountains of Huanxian County.

Bai Liuxi can be the leader not because she can fight, nor because she is young and good-looking, but because she can find food.

In their line of business, especially in Shaanxi, the most frequently ordered repertoire is Yang Jiajiang, and as Xiaodan, it is easy to attract those high-ranking officials and nobles, and they often accompany the old troupe leader to be a guest of honor after the performance.

Over time, she knew that many big families kept food in their cellars, and she dug them up secretly every once in a while. Anyway, there were so many people, even if they were discovered, the big families couldn't stop those single families, so she ran away after sharing the food.

She has always been very smart, and never told others where the grain cellar was located. Even if she explored the way, she would only find a few martial arts students and Wudans to find out the truth with herself, and only let others intervene when doing things.

But even so, until this year, the food is getting less and less.

Not only were the grain cellars known to be robbed, but there were years of severe droughts, and there were not many big households that they could rob, and the remaining fortresses were not something that small thieves like them could steal.

When the order just collapsed, everyone didn't know where to go, and if they could propose a direction, they could take advantage of the situation and become the leader.

But as the order has collapsed for a long time, if you want to stabilize the people below, it is no longer enough to propose a direction.

It's hard for anyone, but it's even harder for a woman in this day and age.

The subordinates left and scattered, and those who remained wanted to do something more intense.

Bailiuxi Luocao has been working hard to learn culture for more than a year, mainly relying on the storytellers in the team.

The old storyteller knew some characters and could teach her simple ones, but his work mainly depended on his knowledge and memorization, and he memorized the whole book when he talked too much.

The bad thing is that this old man has only memorized one book.

Water Margin.

This made Bai Liuxi afraid to set up camp on the mountain. She originally had thousands of people under her command, but she would have seven or eight hundred people if they were scattered.

Wang Lun of Liangshan is a group of three heroes who gather seven or eight hundred young people, and she is a twelve martial artist who gathers seven or eight hundred hungry people.

Bai Liuxi thought to herself, how smart she is, counting the days, Lin Chong will soon go up the mountain, and Chao Gai will soon be here.

Can't be on the mountain, if she stays on the mountain, the female version of Wang Lun, a white-clothed scholar, will be annexed by Lin Chonghuo.

I was thinking about this all day when the Liu family brothers came.

Not the Liu family brothers from Yan'an Prefecture, but the Liu family brothers from Qingyang Prefecture, Liu Wu Liu Daojiang, Liu Liu Liu Daohai.

These two brothers are land tigers of Qingyang Mansion. Last year, they joined forces with Han Chaozai, who joined forces in the early years. The soldiers Ma Wan fought with the officers and soldiers in Huan County, leaving corpses everywhere.

Now he led his troops to the north again, so frightened that Bai Liuxi hurriedly led his troops into the mountains, hiding from the leaders.

If the male leader led the team, it wouldn't be like this, maybe they would join forces happily, but her team was mixed with men and women, and she also took in many famous Huadan women from Huanxian and Qingyang.

Just like earlier when she wanted to join forces with Han Chaozai, Han Chaozai's general jumped into the trap and wanted to take them all away.

This thing is very complicated, first of all Bai Liuxi doesn't like it.

But after discussing with the sisters, I have to admit that it makes sense.

They are a group of helpless women, although they are all familiar with weapons and have a bit of force, but they are physically and mentally exhausted just to feed themselves, not to mention not only guarding against soldiers, but also guarding against thieves.

Everyone is the enemy.

How long can they last like this?
It is bound to find someone to rely on.

Finding support is easy to say, but difficult to say.

It’s okay to fall in love with each other, and it’s okay to die in the end of the world; if you love me, I have the right to live together as a partner; I really don’t like it, and I’m looking for it for power, and it’s a good skill to bump into a dwarf tiger.

Anyway, they are in this line of work, and the head of the class has long said that sooner or later they will find a high-ranking official to marry, and it is better than wandering in the world.

But if you are only running for power, why do you need to find the local bandit Han Chaozai?Wouldn't it be okay to wash and send yourself to Han Chaozai?Or run to the north of Yan'an Mansion and directly vote for the most powerful Wang Jiayin.

Just at this moment, there were wild rumors among the bandits in Qingyang Mansion that Liu Shizi of Yan'an Mansion led his troops to Qingyang, and his general Yang Yao summoned the leaders of the four counties of Qingyang to visit him.

Bai Liuxi felt that this was a good opportunity, so he mobilized his staff to move to Heshui County.

On the way, her general asked, "Sister Bai, what kind of character is Liu Shizi?"

Liu Shizi is a powerful person of the first class.

Bailiuxi also has a general, a martial arts student named Yunjiaoyue.

This is also a woman. Because of their good looks, the two of them were adopted and taught by the old class master to learn Wudan skills since they were young. Bai Liuxi was born fair and tall, so they were given this stage name.

As for Yun Jiaoyue, something went wrong in the process of growing up.

Bailiuxi, just listening to the name makes people feel like Muchun, white and emerald.

What kind of scenery is the cloud crossing the moon?Black and bright.

The two obviously ate the same food and practiced the same skills, and Yun Jiaoyue grew taller and stronger.

How to describe it?
Before the troupe collapsed, Yun Jiaoyue's famous repertoire was the ancient city club learned from the southern Hui troupe.

She plays Zhang Fei in it, and the warrior who plays Guan Yu wears a green cape, half a head lower than her.

The well-endowed Daomadan, handsome in appearance, only became a martial arts student because of his overly burly figure and dark complexion.

Hearing Yun Jiaoyue's question, Bai Liuxi shook his head.

They said they were meeting Liu Shizi, but everyone in the team knew that when they had to make a choice, they had to find a reliable leader to attach to.

When this kind of fate cannot be controlled by oneself, everyone's heart is heavy.

Bailiuxi hid in the mountains for a long time, and even the news of Yang Yao summoning a group of thieves came from others, and where did he know what kind of person Liu Shizi was.

However, she still smiled as if to comfort herself: "I heard that he is used to fighting, he should be a man like Yunjiaoyue."

Yun Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "If Yun Jiaoyue is really a man, then he must be a first-class man in the world. If my sister has the body of a general's daughter, it will not be a loss."

Just joking around like this, but Bai Liuxi showed a sad face: "Don't say whether you are worthy or not, look at the Water Margin, there are two kinds of men in the world, they are greedy for money, lustful, and have no future, but those who do some big things are not close to women. Dig out my heart and drink it!"

"That's true. I heard that Wang Jiayin of Yulin didn't marry a wife either." Yun Jiaoyue sighed, "The small bosses are in groups of wives and concubines, and the big boss is all alone. It's really strange."

The procession of Bailiuxi goes down along the south of the Yangtze River. This river is extremely wide, and it is also called Malian River, but the people prefer to call it Mashazi River.

Because the river is very long, winding southward from the Great Wall, the water is not good, neither drinking nor irrigating, it is not welcomed by people, and it is not clean until it flows to Ningzhou, and it can barely irrigate.

Moreover, the river's mind is not normal, and it can usually wade through, but in the summer and autumn rainy season, it will soar a thousand times, destroying bridges and flooding human and livestock fields.

The biggest effect of this river on the people living in the north of Ningzhou is to wash the firewood in the mountains to the downstream river beach, so that they can pick up firewood when the water recedes.

Along the Huanjiang River, passing the barren fields on both sides of the bank that were destroyed by bandits and wars, to the confluence of the Hulu River more than [-] miles away from Heshui, the surrounding area became lively.

Yun Jiaoyue climbed up the mountain ridge to look around, and soon came down the mountain with a spear: "Sister, this is it, the east side of the mountain is full of banners and banners! Go up the mountain and have a look!"

Yun Jiaoyue didn't know how to describe what he saw.

She had never seen such a scene in her life. At least twenty miles away, she could see a densely packed camp spread out layer by layer on the dry terraced fields in the mountains extending eastward along the mountain ridge, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

Suddenly, it seemed to see a town from a distance, and even said that the town was no longer suitable.

Even in the Wanli period, the entire Qingyang Prefecture had only 6 to [-] people. Now, after several years of famine and two years of war, the surviving people are scattered in four counties, one prefecture and vast mountainous areas.

Yun Jiaoyue was very convinced that the army stationed in the distant mountains had more people than any county outside the Fucheng.

Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue stood on the mountain ridge and looked at the Lion Camp, and the Lion Camp was also watching them.

On the anti-slope of the invisible mountain ridge in Bailiuxi, Dai Daozi, the former Ningxia town's Hengcheng castle management team and now the Shiziying pond military management team, led ten pond soldiers to quickly pass through.

These soldiers still wearing the armor of the frontier army were running in the mountains with their swords. On the road around the mountain, a soldier riding a horse and leading more than [-] horses galloped out of an earth dragon.

And on the mountain ridge five miles away to the east, another team of Tang soldiers had received their flag order, knowing that a team of hundreds of people had entered the Lion Camp with a radius of 25 miles.

Now there are 36 pond soldiers in the Lion Camp, each of which has twelve horsemen, and each pond is filled with eight Ningxia soldiers and four post soldiers.

Ningxia veteran Dai Daozi is in charge of Sitang.

But in fact, the work of pond riding in the Lion Camp is very difficult, because the team is too big.

Under normal circumstances, they are used to covering the team twenty miles away. At this distance, a standard battalion sub-post with a scale of [-] can be completely hidden in the mountains.

But their team is too big, nominally two battalions, but actually has more troops than three battalions, and they carry far more mules and horses than the official army.

In the river valley with a wide field of vision and full of concave and convex hills and plateaus, twenty miles can't cover it at all.

Dai Daozi's courier subordinates asked while running: "Team management, just watch them. What about the seven or eight hundred people?"

"Ah."

Dai Daozi just pressed the knife and ran away, and said no more.

He didn't know why this group of people came here. In the past few days, the leaders of Qingyang Mansion from all walks of life came here to see his commander-in-chief, which can be described as an endless stream.

Brother Liu Daojiang and Liu Daohai sent their generals to come.

Han Chaozai and thieves like Tian Jin'an, the local leader of Heshui County, Hu Sanzha, He Zijie, Wang Mancai and other thieves from Ningzhou, all came here in person.

But at Yang Yao's invitation, these leaders were all at least three or five cavalry, at most more than ten people, and they just brought some guards.

There is nowhere like Bailiuxi, seven to eight hundred people came here, and they walked the official way.

Dai Daozi was far away, so he could only see that the gang was not organized, and he couldn't tell whether their leader was a man or a woman.

After weighing the strength of the two sides, Dai Daozi finally came to the conclusion that with his ten cavalry, he had little chance of winning against the 800-man team on the river bank.

But certainly not at a disadvantage.

This group of people didn't even have a decent armor, and all they used were civilian weapons. Dai Daozi could think that he had a small chance of winning, but the possibility of losing was also very small. Exhausted?
Dai Daozi was suffocating in his heart, since he was the first to join the Lion Camp in the prisoner camp, he hadn't made any achievements yet, and he was eager to show his abilities in a battle.

These seven 800 people are very good.

Running to the mountain road, the man wearing the Taoist ran a short distance, and the horse ran fast but traveled a long distance. They arrived almost at the same time. Twelve soldiers from the pond got on their horses and formed a small square formation of three cavalry formations, heading towards Bailiuxi. The team quickly approached.

The distance of four hundred steps is only a moment of galloping, and Dai Daozi feels more and more wrong as he walks.

At first he thought that the people who came were Minzhuang from Heshui County, but when he ran to a stone's throw away, he realized that there were many young women and aunts in the team.

Many of the well-dressed girls in that team were about the same age as his daughter who was killed by Lieutenant Qingfan.

Dai Daozi's eagerness to make meritorious deeds also cooled down, he rode his horse for half a circle, and withdrew the team to a safe distance: "Go and ask someone, what are they doing here?"

　Hello night owls!
