Li Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Yu'er, how dare you think about it! Borrow food from Dong Zhuo? Even if the sun comes out from the west, don't even think about borrowing a grain from Dong Zhuo." Grain!

Mei Wuli did store a lot of money and food, not only Dong Zhuo’s wealth accumulated over the years, but also the blood and sweat of the entire Sili people and the century-old money and food accumulation of the Luoyang Imperial City.However, to say that it can supply 30 troops with food and salaries for ten years is still a bit exaggerated, and it is not credible, but it should not be a problem to supply five years. "

The reason why Li Li said this is indeed targeted, not speculation.

According to historical data, after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun squandered some money and grain of Qiwu, and then Li Jue and Guo Si took control of the government and fought endlessly. It lasted for seven years, but there was no shortage of food and grass; That explains the problem.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't stored a large amount of money and food in Meiwuli, where would the food and salaries of nearly ten generals including Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji come from for more than [-] soldiers and horses?

Just relying on looting money and food, I am afraid that all the food from the homes of all the people in Xiliang's counties and counties will not be enough for their hundreds of thousands of troops to squander for seven years.

However, after Li Jue, Guo Si and others took control of the government, they were able to coexist peacefully at first, but after two or three years they began to attack and kill each other. The cause of the conflict was likely to be the distribution of food and grass, rather than simply fighting for fame and fortune. And disputes.

As for Li Jue's final agreement with the little emperor and the officials to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang, perhaps because there was no extra food to support these people, he just agreed to their request on a whim.

"Report! General, at the foot of the mountain at the corner ahead, there is a group of robbers besieging and killing passing merchants."

Just as Li Li and Chen Yu were on their way and talking, a soldier galloped over and spoke urgently about the unexpected situation on the road ahead.

"Rooters? Two more roundabouts will lead to Chang'an City, and there are still robbers here who dare to block the road and commit murder? What a strange thing!"

Li Li murmured a few words to himself in astonishment, and then ordered the scouts: "Well, get up, and continue to inquire ahead to see who was robbed and killed. Where did it come from, and how many people are there? Let's go!"

The scout immediately bowed to take the order, and disappeared at the end of the road in a hurry.

"Wenchang, let's hurry up and save people. If we go late, the robbers will get their way!"

After all, Chen Yu is from her daughter's family, and she has a kind heart. When she heard that someone was in danger, she rushed to help them.

On the other hand, Li Li paced his horse unhurriedly, walking forward slowly, "Yu'er, don't worry, just hurry to the front.

These years are full of chaos and natural disasters, and the lives of ordinary people are not easy. If they are extremely hungry, maybe those honest farmers will also do things like blocking the road and robbing.This kind of thing happens every day, and it is not worth making a fuss about.

Besides, merchants and merchants always travel with their retinues, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary robbers.In fact, as long as they are willing to give up some money to the robbers, maybe they will be fine. "

Seeing Li Li's expression of having nothing to do with himself, and speaking so easily, Chen Yu immediately relaxed a lot in his heart, and he was not in a hurry, and rode along with Li Li without haste.

"Report! General, my subordinates have found out that the person who was robbed and killed is Cai Zhonglang's daughter, and the robber is a Pegasus Bandit who has been roaming around Nanshan for the past two years. This time, the Pegasus Bandit dispatched a total of more than [-] people. According to the situation, they should have rushed here to ambush last night, and happened to meet Cai Zhonglang's family."

The scout spoke out the situation of the investigation in one breath, speaking so fast that Li Li didn't know what to say.

"Wait, who is Cai Zhonglang? Who is his daughter? You speak clearly, don't speak so fast, speak slowly!"

The scouts heard that Li Li's tone was not friendly, so they patiently explained: "General, Cai Zhonglang is Zuo Zhonglang General Cai Yong, styled Bojie, who was named Zhonglang General by the Grand Master half a year ago.

Cai Zhonglang's daughter is Cai Yan, whose style name is Zhaoji. She was the daughter-in-law of the Hedong Wei family before, and her husband's family is Wei Zhongdao, the eldest son of the Wei family.However, less than a year after she married into the Wei family, that Wei Zhongdao died of hemoptysis, and Miss Cai became a widow.At the beginning of this year, she returned to Chang'an, and has been living in Cai Zhonglang's house ever since. "

Li Li's heart shook slightly, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that Cai Zhonglang is the elder Cai Yong! It's just that I haven't seen him in the court recently?

Uh, by the way, little third son, how do you know Cai Zhonglang's family affairs so clearly? It's so rare! "

"This...hehehe!"

The youngest son of the scout was taken aback by Li Li's question, and said with a smirk, "General, the young one was previously on duty in Luoyang, and Cai Zhonglang is from the same town as Chenliu, and has always respected the boss very much. Later, he was recruited by General Li Jue as a scout. Before the expedition at the beginning of this year, I followed General Li Jue to Cai Zhonglang's residence, so I know all these things about Cai Zhonglang's family."

Li Li smiled at the third son and said: "Hehehe! Younger son, you are very smart and will be promising in the future. It seems that I recruited you into the personal army, which is considered the right move. Work hard, and it won't be long before you The kid can be a team leader! Lead the way, let's save people, since Cai Zhonglang's daughter was robbed, then we can't just stand by!"

"Sounds good, I think you decided to save someone so simply because you heard that the person is Cai Dacai! All men are so virtuous, hmph!"

Seeing Li Li galloping away, Chen Yu pursed his red lips, looked at Li Li's retreating back angrily and muttered a few words, then rode his horse and followed more than a dozen soldiers to catch up.

At the corner of the mountain road, at the foot of the mountain.

A group of more than [-] robbers, armed with a high-quality Xiliang war horse, surrounded a carriage noisily while whistling.

Around the carriage, five strong servants guarded the carriage with long swords in their hands, and kept waving their swords to resist the robbers rushing towards them.

At this moment, the bodies of more than ten subordinates were already lying on the ground. Obviously, the subordinates of the Cai family were at the end of their strength and could not resist for long.

However, the robbers seemed not in a hurry to kill the remaining five servants. They stabbed the five servants with bruises and bruises all over their bodies, playing with the dying servants, but they refused to take their lives for a long time.

"Bold thief, at the foot of the imperial city, how can you allow us to commit crimes wantonly?"

With a loud shout, Li Li leaped down from the mountain path, and came with a long sword in his hand to kill the general in vain.

Less than two feet behind him, the black-faced Dian Wei clamped his horse's belly tightly, and charged fiercely at the robbers' horses with two halberds in hand.

Chapter 41 The Glamorous Widow

"Bold thief, at the foot of the imperial city, how can you allow us to commit crimes wantonly?"

With a loud shout, Li Li leaped down from the mountain path and came to kill the general with a long sword in his hand.

Less than two feet behind him, the black-faced Dian Wei clamped his horse's belly in vain, drew out his two halberds and rushed fiercely towards the band of robbers and horses.

"Chong!"

The sound of slamming iron tools exploded, shaking the whole field.

Li Li jumped on his horse and swung his sword. When his upper body dodged left and right, the edge of the sword flickered and stabbed out.

A horse takes the lead, wherever the robbers pass, there is rarely a general who cuts off the neck with a sword, rolls off the head, and splatters blood.

After nearly two months of fighting experience and three life-and-death disasters, Li Li is no longer a rookie on the battlefield. He has fierce shots, skilled riding skills, and rich experience in fighting.

In addition, his martial arts has improved greatly recently, and his strength has also increased to a certain extent. When he charged, he became more and more fierce and unstoppable.

Li Li charged forward, and the captain of the personal army, Dian Wei, was not far behind.

While galloping the horse, the halberds in his hands flew flying, and before the robbers had time to react, their heads fell off the horse.

Dian Wei's ferocity, those who have not fought against him, will never be able to understand.

His enormous power, like a broken rock from a mountain, is enough to destroy all enemies standing in front of him. He is rampant, hard-wearing, and unmatched.

If Li Li is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable, then Dian Wei is like a flood peak, destroying all the robbers who dare to come forward to meet it.

More than [-] robbers, although not all of them are strong and strong, are also desperadoes with high-quality mounts and sprinting horses.

However, the robbers who flaunted their power and made fun of the Cai family's retinue before now seemed so weak and vulnerable in their counterattack.

A moment later, when more than ten of Li Li's personal soldiers protected Chen Yu and rushed to the killing scene, there were less than a hundred horsemen left among the more than 300 robbers, and they fled in all directions, rushing to the forest in a hurry.

"The guards obey the order and shoot with bows and arrows! Come on, you are a jungler, take a few guards and chase after them, and bring back those dozens of good horses!"

While chasing the fleeing robbers at the foot of the mountain, Li Li gave orders to his soldiers and Dian Wei.

After Dian Wei got the order, he took a personal soldier and rode up the mountain, and hurriedly chased after the robbers along the mountain path where they fled.
