This tiger was a great tonic.
Yang Yu saw that everyone had been marching for a long time, so he directly ordered the army to rest on the spot and cook this tiger while he was at it.
Soon after, the cook finished cooking the tiger.
Dian Wei and Luo Cheng were called over by Yang Yu. They gathered in a circle, ate meat, drank wine, and chatted.
Yang Yu hadn't received the system reward yet, so he realized that Dian Wei must have some kind of mental illness. This mental illness must have something to do with his exile after killing someone.
"Dian Wei, how did you end up like this with all your strength?”
Dian Wei sighed and said,"This matter is a long story! Because the Liu family of Jiwu County and Li Yong had a feud, and Liu had always been kind to me, I killed Li Yong and his wife for Liu. This Li Yong was once a Fuchun County Chief and was quite powerful. I was also a commoner, so the Jiwu County Magistrate had been sending troops everywhere to capture me.”
Yang Yu didn't say anything, but Luo Cheng couldn't help but say,""Repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Dian Wei, you are indeed a man! However, the lord is a member of the imperial court. If a guilty person like you stays by his side, it will ruin his reputation.”
Dian Wei said bitterly," Actually, I wanted to turn myself in a long time ago. I was just afraid that after I died, Li Yong's people would harm my wife and children without any restraint.”
Yang Yu waved his hand and interrupted him." There's no need to surrender. As long as you follow me out to kill the enemy and make a contribution, I'll help you. When the time comes, the merits and demerits will offset each other and you'll be fine."”
Hearing this, Dian Wei raised his head and looked at Yang Yu. He was so excited that he choked up."If that's the case, I'm willing to die for you!”
Yang Yu nodded." Although I'm only a general of the Yue Cavalry, I'm also a general recommended by the emperor's princess and personally appointed by the emperor. The county magistrate of Jiwu still has to give me some face." Besides, even if the county magistrate is not willing, I can report your merits to the emperor and pardon you.”
Dian Wei was overjoyed when he heard this. The three of them toasted each other and grabbed the fragrant tiger meat to eat heartily.
After the defeat of Changshe Bocai's rebel army, Yang Yu had taken all the food and grass because they were in a hurry to escape.
Halfway through their escape, they had already run out of ammunition and food. Thus, they gathered sixty thousand troops and surrounded Chenliu County. They planned to break through Chenliu and replenish their supplies before making any plans.
After Yang Yu investigated, he immediately sent out his troops, determined to fight alone.
When they arrived at Chenliu County, the Yellow Turban Army had been attacking the city for several days.
Chenliu was a big city. The surrounding people were so frightened by the Yellow Turban Army that they had long hidden inside. The old, weak, women, and children took turns to fight on all sides of the city walls. The Yellow Turban Army exhausted all their strength but could not break through the city.
Yang Yu took advantage of the time when the Yellow Turban army was attacking the city on a large scale to let Dian Wei and Luo Cheng each lead three thousand soldiers. He also took the rest of the people and split into three groups to attack from the rear of the Yellow Turban army. The Yellow Turban army was instantly killed in a flurry.
In the chaos, Dian Wei had killed countless commanders of this rebel army, making a great contribution. The defenders of Chenliu County also rushed out when they saw the opportunity. After a battle, more than ten thousand Yellow Turban bandits were killed or injured. The rest divided into many small groups and fled in all directions.
Yang Yu divided his forces to pursue them. These Yellow Turban bandits, who had become frightened birds, died in a few days, surrendered, and the rest fled to Black Mountain, no longer daring to come out and cause trouble.
The Yellow Turban bandits of Chenliu were exterminated.
Thus, Yang Yu led his troops back and soon arrived at Jiwu County.
At this point, Dian Wei did not dare to trouble Yang Yu, but Yang Yu led the army directly to the outskirts of Jiwu County.
Dian Wei arrived outside the city gate and wanted to enter directly, but he was stopped by Yang Yu."What's the hurry? I haven't seen your wife and children, and they're not here for a while. Where is your home? Send a few people in and bring your wife and children out.”
Dian Wei didn't know what this meant, but he still did as Yang Yu said.
Soon, the magistrate of Jiwu County heard that there was a troop of government troops outside the city, so he hurried out.
Yang Yu's bodyguards had already set up a stool for him and sat at the gate of Jiwu County. Behind him, there were flags like a forest. Ten thousand soldiers stood solemnly, all of them majestic.
Dian Wei wore a brand new armor and stood behind Yang Yu with Luo Cheng on either side.
After the county magistrate came out, he was stunned. He reluctantly walked over and smiled."General, why have you come here? If the army is short of food and wine, I can entertain them.”
Yang Yu gestured for him to sit down, then pointed at Dian Wei and asked,""Do you recognize him?"
The county magistrate looked at Dian Wei obsequiously, but soon the obsequious look in his eyes disappeared, revealing a thick look of suspicion. Finally, he suddenly slammed the table and jumped up: "It's actually a fugitive who hasn't been brought to justice for several years! General, this man killed for no reason. He should be beheaded! I didn't expect him to sneak into the general's army. I'll take him down now to prevent him from ruining the general's reputation!”
The county magistrate immediately turned around and called the county captain to bring people over to arrest him.
Yang Yu slammed the table, and the table fell apart. The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly turned around and looked at Yang Yu in horror.
"Did I ask you to capture him?" Yang Yu said coldly.
The county magistrate immediately felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible iron hand. He was extremely afraid.
However, when he thought of the Li family's power, the county magistrate gritted his teeth and said,"General is a member of the army, how can you interfere in the affairs of this county? A life for a life is a matter of course. Even if the general kills me today, I will arrest this person!”
Seeing him like this, Yang Yu laughed instead."This general will not make things difficult for you. Call over the person in charge of the Li family and this general will personally talk to him!”
The county magistrate was stunned and revealed a hint of anger."General, are you threatening and enticing the people of my Jiwu County?”
"Dian Wei is a member of my army. According to the law, he is no longer under your control." Yang Yu laughed. Besides, I was ordered by the emperor to kill the thief, but you want to kill my general. Are you colluding with the Yellow Turban thief to break my arm?”
When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes widened. He never expected that the person in front of him would actually put a big hat on him!
Although the county magistrate was very angry, after thinking about Yang Yu's words carefully, he felt that he was not lying.
He indeed had no right to punish Dian Wei after he joined the army.
Moreover, the army that Dian Wei belonged to was out to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits. If they were killed by him, it would be a slap to the emperor's face!
After weighing the pros and cons, the county magistrate could only send someone to call Li Yong's family over.
At this time, Dian Wei's wife and children also came over. Seeing Dian Wei's majestic appearance in armor, they were overjoyed. The whole family hugged each other and cried loudly.
Li Feng's eldest son and Magistrate Jiwu muttered to each other for a while before revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Yang Yu waved his hand and these people came over. They also saw Dian Wei's family.
Dian Wei had killed Li Yong and his wife, causing the Li family to be dissatisfied.
In the past few years, the descendants of the Li family had relied on their power in the local area to make Dian Wei's wife and children suffer.
At this moment, the two sides met face to face here, and their eyes were filled with deep hatred.
