Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Finding Brothers Naturally in Difficulty
The day when I returned to Curie Pass, the weather was unexpectedly good. The long-lost sun actually appeared lazily in the air, sowing some heat.
When I looked up and saw the scorching sun and the blue sky, my mood became much better inexplicably.
The military camp of Curie Pass has been empty, and only some soldiers are left in the core area. More barracks are now used as warehouses. Cao Tiancheng moved his bedroom to the originally high bedroom. The underground of this bedroom can hide a huge secret.
Before the barracks, above the school ground, because of the departure of the army, no one cleaned the thick snow on it, but there were still a lot of people coming and going. The snow-white snow was trampled into a white and black flower field, and the mud turned out to the snow, and there were spots.
Outside Cao Tiancheng's office and bedroom, two sword guards stood upright. They stood straight without looking straight. From time to time, there would be horse bandits who came from the sky walking past them. Looking at their standing posture, these horse bandits laughed or made faces and would reach out to tease these serious guards, but to their disappointment, these guards ignored them at all, as if there were no such people in front of them.
On the side of the school ground and under the eaves, the bandits were lying on benches or on the felt carpet, enjoying the sunshine comfortably. These people were more or less scarred, and purple-black blood was stained everywhere on the broken cotton coats.
Although she looked very embarrassed, the horse bandits' complexion has improved a lot in the past few days in Curie Pass. When they arrived at Curie Pass, they finally got rid of Miranda's pursuit. Cao Tiancheng knew that Gao Yuan owed them favors and offered them good wine and meat every day. He also invited a doctor from Fufeng to treat their injuries. In the past few days in Curie Pass, these horse bandits' complexion have lived the most comfortable time in the past few days.
Bai Yucheng leaned against the wall with his eyes narrowed, and the wall behind him was nailed together with a large tree rod about a foot thick. He then applied mud on the outside, which looked primitive and thick.
After entering Curie Pass, he rarely spoke, but he carefully observed everything here. Although the army had left, the traces left here could have seen many things. Curie Pass was very small, but the defensive facilities Gao Yuan had arranged here at the beginning made him amazed. This was a defense that could send troops to counterattack at any time in defense. From these facilities, Bai Yucheng could roughly see the fighting spirit in Gao Yuan's bones.
If there are thousands of people defending and enough weapons and food to supplement such a fortress, it is probably difficult to win unless the attacker spares no expense, regardless of time, and exchanges several times or even ten times the casualties of the defenders in exchange for victory. This may be in the Central Plains. There may be an army able to do this, but in this place, it is a nightmare for any attacker. No one will use this price to gnaw the hard bone of Curie Guan, whether it is the Donghu people or the Huns.
But now, this place has been abandoned.
It has become a logistics base, and the lofty garrison has advanced hundreds of miles forward.
It seems that he is indeed preparing to have a big fight with the Donghu people.
Bai Yucheng is indeed a little regretful now. He underestimated Miranda and underestimated when a powerful regime wanted to deal with a team like him. That would really make him have no way out and no way to go to the earth. He thought he was very powerful, but under Miranda's full swing, he had not even been able to hold on for a month. He was beaten to pieces, and the team of nearly a thousand people was almost completely lost. In the last battle, if it weren't for the hundred arms and crossbows he gave Gao Yuan, he would never have escaped.
Looking at his subordinates who were lying or sitting in front of him, Bai Yucheng smiled bitterly. This was his last possession. In addition to his weapons and war horses, each person had only two mouths on his shoulders. All the wealth accumulated over the years was cheaper than the Donghu people.
Although they were all from the Donghu people he robbed, he was still reluctant to let it go.
The sun was very comfortable, Bai Yucheng stretched his waist and touched the scars under his ribs. He was so painful that he started to sweat coldly. He slashed his bones, which was left to him by Alunda, a Donghu man. This dog-good guy hated him to the bones. When he was in Tuotuo River, he really should have killed him. The result of letting him run away was that he had a deep scar under his ribs. It was probably that even after healed, a long scar would be left.
I am afraid that this injury will last a month. Fortunately, I have arrived here now. Although Gao Yuan’s subordinates don’t talk much, they are very good at doing things. They invited a doctor. With the doctor’s careful diagnosis and treatment, the lives of the seriously injured brothers were saved. This is the only thing that makes him very pleased.
How to go in the future? As the leader, this is a question he has to consider.
The Donghu people can't go back. More than a hundred brothers asked them to be good people, and it is probably impossible for them to break up. It is estimated that the result of the disbandment will not take long before these guys' heads will be hung on flagpoles by government officials from all over the country to show their public.
These guys who are used to rob will go there to farm honestly and do business. Everyone will think that the business is the best without capital.
This problem made him feel a little painful. Perhaps it would be a good way to go to the Xiongnu to rob him in the future, but the average Huns' tribes are so poor that they can't afford to mess with the endless tribes. They are not as rich as Donghu people.
Going to grab the merchant? I have observed it these days and it seems that those who go to the Xiongnu to do business from this road are related to Gao Yuan. Most of their goods are bought from here. When they come back, most of the goods were sold to Cao Tiancheng, who was entertaining them, and they were not easy to deal with!
After thinking about it, there was no way out.
Rubbing his head, Bai Yu Cheng really didn't know where his way out.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar. They were the most sensitive to the tremor of horse hooves trampling on the ground. Even if there was thick snow on the ground now, they could not hide it from them. People including Bai Yucheng raised their heads almost at the same time and looked in the direction where the horse hooves came.
A high-character flag appeared in their sight, and dozens of cavalrymen came from a distance, and the snow rolled up from the horse's hooves formed a flying snow dragon behind them, rising in the air, falling down one after another. Ice slags were reflected by the sun, shining with colorful light.
He reached out to hold the wall behind him and Bai Yucheng stood up. Cao Tiancheng had just left yesterday. Before noon today, Gao Yuan appeared in front of him. It seemed that this county magistrate of Dayan was still a very emotional and loyal guy. He did not neglect himself because he was in trouble now.
I believe Cao Tiancheng has told Gao Yuan all the time.
Seeing the tall banner, the horse bandits around the schoolyard also stood up and slowly gathered together.
The snow splashed, and the war horse ran into Curie Pass. Gao Yuan turned over and got off the horse. He stepped on the snow mud and the mud flew. He stretched out his arms and laughed loudly: "Brother Bai, a rare guest, a rare guest."
Bai Yucheng smiled bitterly: "Master Gao, Bai Yucheng is now a dog who falls into the water. He has no way out and can only run to you to take refuge."
"What is Brother Bai saying? The injured tiger is still a tiger. When Brother Bai is in trouble, it is a honor for Gao Yuan to think of Gao Yuan!" He hugged Bai Yucheng tightly, "Welcome to Curie Guan as a guest."
Gao Yuan hugged Bai Yucheng's wound and suddenly felt pain that he yelled, "Brother Gao, I can't stand your enthusiasm anymore, but it's a little lighter!"
Gao Yuan let go of his hand and took a step back, "Is he injured?"
Bai Yucheng nodded, "Aronda's old turtle gave me a knife, and it's here, and it almost killed me."
"I really regret not taking the old turtle's life in Tuotuo River!" Gao Yuan sighed: "But Brother Bai, if you survive the disaster, you will have good fortune. Let's talk in the house. Lao Cao, you are the master here now, and you have not neglected Brother Bai and his subordinates, right?"
"Where do you dare to neglect your subordinates, Bai Da is a good friend." Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Cao is so enthusiastic that he does not look down on us because of our horse bandits. Bai sighed very much!" Bai Yucheng nodded and said.
"Brother Bai, you are a thief to the Donghu people, and you are a hero with me. I dare not say anything else, but in Fufeng, you are definitely our most honorable guest. Lao Cao, you will get the table at noon, and Brother Bai and I will not stop drunk." Gao Yuan laughed loudly, held Bai Yucheng's hand, and walked straight into the wooden house where Cao Tiancheng was doing business.
The guards immediately brought the burning brazier. In the deserted house, it was extremely warm in an instant. They untied the cloak on their bodies and threw it aside, "Brother Bai, this is an infantryman, my cavalry captain, do you still know me?"
"Of course I know it! The arrow technique is amazing!" Bai Yucheng gave a thumbs up, "I witnessed his arrow technique across the Tuotuo River and admired it very much."
Hearing Bai Yucheng's praise, the infantry laughed from ear to ear, "Bai Dajia's praise."
"Is Hutou okay this time?" Gao Yuan was not seeing the short and dumb man next to Bai Yucheng with a fat face. He was a little worried that this guy would be dead.
"I've saved my life. I have to thank the doctor invited by Lord Cao. But I'm afraid I'll have to lie for a while. He blocked me a few more arrows and almost couldn't run away from the Curie lock. I made nine of my ten lives, and now I'm lying next door. But he's strong and has survived the most dangerous time. It should be fine." Bai Yucheng smiled and said, "Running to you is the most correct decision I have made during this period."
"When you are in trouble, where can you run if you don't run to your friends?" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Just save your life. As long as you have your life, you will be able to avenge you sooner or later. Come and sit down and talk to me about this!"
Cao Tiancheng came in with a teapot and poured tea for several people, "Bai Dazhuan, this is a good tea. I didn't want to take it out a few days ago. Don't blame me. Not much, you have to save some money. This was given to me by County Commander Gao. When he came, if I didn't take it out, he would definitely curse himself. Although he really wanted to hide it in his heart and enjoy it privately, when he thought about County Commander Gao's to curse, he could only take it out."
After talking, the people in the room laughed.
