Chapter 0021: A Gentleman Deceives with a Method
Li Yu shook his head. He thought he could not blame others for his own incompetence. Yang Guang's behavior had aroused the disgust of the world, and even his own family members could not stand it. Only people like Yang Zhiji would still work so honestly for Yang Guang.
"Tai Shou Yang, I just want to ask you one question, should we write the pass document or not?" Li Yu said coldly, "Although I only have 400 men under my command, they are all elite soldiers like wolves and tigers. Even if we kill them, we may be able to overcome the many obstacles. After all, there are no eight passes in Luoyang at this time."
"Bah! A traitor like you actually wants to get the customs clearance documents? What a delusion." Yang Zhiji suddenly spat at Li Yu and said with disdain.
"In fact, even without your customs clearance documents, I can still pass, but it's a little dangerous. Even without your handwritten letter, but with your token, it's the same. If you can be more honest, I may let you go, but you are in such a difficult situation!" Li Yu glanced at the girls not far away and said, "I guess these are your daughters! Tsk tsk, they are descendants of the royal family, beautiful as the country. It's a pity that they are still just a virgin. I have two brothers, why don't I marry them to be wives?"
"You, you are so insolent." Yang Zhiji's face suddenly changed when he heard it. He is a descendant of the royal family, and his daughter is at least a princess. She should be betrothed to a famous family, not a lowly soldier.
"What a pity, you have no right to decide all this. Xiao Gu, Pang Jue, if our prefect does not agree, you can choose one in half an hour. If you have no daughter, you can choose a wife. Anyway, the prefect has too many wives, and he is too busy. You can help him." Li Yu looked at the women with a smile, and the scared woman screamed.
"Stop, you evil villain! Stop. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Yang Zhiji looked at Li Gu and Pang Jue walking towards his family, and immediately started cursing loudly .
"God will strike me? Even if there is a thunderbolt, it is forced by you people." Li Yu couldn't help but sneered: "Sir, write it or not, although you are a good person, but I, Li Yu, can do anything for my brothers."
"You." Yang Zhiji looked at Li Yu with a gloomy face, wishing he could eat Li Yu alive. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to do that.
"Li Gu, you choose one." Li Yu said to Li Gu, who was already prepared, with a slightly cold face, "You are not a child anymore, it's time to find you a wife. The governor's daughter is good, this time it's your choice."
After hearing this, Li Gu immediately laughed, rubbed his hands, and said with a chuckle: "Thank you very much for the reward, young master!" Then he walked towards one of the young girls with a weird smile on his face.
The girl in front of him had never seen such a rude and strong man. When she saw Li Gu approaching her, she immediately screamed loudly.
"Father, save me!" The girl's voice pierced Yang Zhiji's ears deeply. She was his most beloved daughter. Normally, he would never teach her a lesson. Now, seeing that she was about to fall into the hands of the enemy, Yang Zhiji's face suddenly showed pain.
"Father, save me." Another daughter shouted. Compared with Li Gu's rudeness, Pang Jue looked even more wretched, and she could not accept it even more.
"Husband!" Yang Zhiji's wife Ru also looked at Yang Zhiji with horror.
"Stop." Yang Zhiji finally shouted. He was loyal to Yang Guang, but he would never let his reputation or his family be humiliated.
"Very good. Li Gu, take Yang Taishou down." Li Yu's face suddenly showed a proud look. In this era, women had a very low status, especially daughters. Yang Zhiji not only valued his reputation, but also loved his two women very much. It was impossible for him to let his two daughters fall into Li Yu's hands. So there was this test. Facts have proved that Yang Zhiji was fooled.
After a while, Li Gu had a document and a token in his hand. Li Yu took it, looked at Yang Zhiji with a smile, and said, "Sir, the Sui Dynasty is about to be destroyed. Although you are an important official of the royal family, you should focus on the country at this time. My begging army is still short of a chief clerk. I wonder if you are willing to follow me and leave Hongnong."
"Rebel, stop talking. If that's the case, you might as well just kill us!" Yang Zhiji shouted loudly. It was impossible for him to follow the thief.
"Looking at these tokens and the pass, Your Excellency the Governor, do you think that if the court knew about this, they would let you go?" Li Yu said with a smile.
"Traitor! You might as well kill me! Even if I die, I will never follow a thief!" Yang Zhiji cursed angrily after hearing this.
Li Yu was not angry after hearing this, but said with a smile: "The governor is strong-willed, Li Yu has heard of it all along, but the governor knows who Li Yu is, a rebel, a traitor. Since he is a traitor, there are some things that can be done without any psychological burden, such as killing a few people in Hongnong City, which is very simple. If the governor is unwilling to follow the army, then Li Yu will kill until the governor agrees!"
"You, you beast." After hearing this, Yang Zhiji's eyes rolled back and he suddenly fainted.
"Young Master." Pang Jue looked at Yang Zhiji who had fainted on the ground.
"He fainted, that's even better. Take him away. Take him away in a few carriages. Open the armory, put on new armor, bring food and grass, and we will set off immediately, leaving Hongnong and heading for Luoyang." Li Yu looked at Yang Zhiji on the ground and smiled, "This Yang Zhiji is still useful. Without Yang Zhiji, it will not be easy for us to confuse the enemy ahead."
"Yes." Pang Jue quickly ordered his men to get a few horse-drawn carriages and loaded Yang Zhiji and his family onto the carriages. In just one hour, the four hundred soldiers of the Beggars' Army put on new armor and headed straight east.
At noon, a team of cavalry came roaring and broke into Hongnong City. The leader was a middle-aged man with handsome appearance. He had a graceful temperament, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes from time to time. It was Yuwen Shu's son Yuwen Wenji.
"Where is Governor Yang?" Yu Wenzhi saw that his face was gloomy and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. Outside the city, he found chaotic horse hoof prints. When he entered the city, he saw blood on the ground, which made his originally happy mood disappear without a trace in an instant.
