Chapter 1233: Zuo Zhangba, Mengmei Jushi
The fat-headed and big-eared Qiang General was stunned when he heard Wei Yan's shout, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and he froze on the ground in shock and suspicion! And after the cold figure looked at Liu Yu carefully and clearly, he began to tremble irrepressibly, and the look in his eyes was even more shrunken and panicked. :3.
Liu Yu glanced at Wei Yan reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work......
As soon as he dropped his head, Wei Yan gasped, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Lord Wang, Weichen has embarrassed your old man again......"
On one side, the fat-headed and big-eared Qiang moved closer with difficulty, and his low tone also contained shock and suspicion: "Zhangba...... This man...... Is it really Liu Yu? ”
The corners of the cold character's lips twitched, and he said tremblingly: "Yes...... He! I saw him once in the Yellow Turban Army, and I will never forget his demonic appearance! ”
There was a deep smile on his face, and behind Liu Yu's calmness, there was fierce resentment and bloody murder! He took a slow step forward and said, "Wen Chang, these two guys are dealt with by this king, you go and gather all the brothers first, but don't let them be eaten by the Qiang soldiers!" ”
Wei Yan didn't even have the process of thinking, after answering the question, he turned his horse and turned around, and ran towards the Han army who were fighting bloodily, while rescuing and summoning his subordinates, he shouted in a trembling voice: "Brothers, the prince has come to save us in person, all of them will work hard to solve the opponent and gather here with me, and we will follow the prince to kill together!" ”
The corners of Liu Yu's mouth hooked up with a contemptuous smile that could make people angry, and he said flatly: "Two of you." Let's hurry. After sending you on your way, the king will take his brothers home. ”
Liu Yu's words made the cold character involuntarily take a step back, and the Qiang general shouted viciously: "Others don't know how many bowls of rice you Liu Yu eats to vague you." General Ben ignored this ballast, surnamed Liu, what skills do you have, might as well shake it all out, and see if General Ben cares? ”
I didn't expect this to be a general of the Qiang tribe! Liu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Fatty, do you think that you are worthy of all the skills of this king?" ”
Liu Yu's extremely honest words made the Qiang general's face flush, and he cried out through gritted teeth: "Hugh is there to take advantage of his tongue in vain. Liu Yu, even if General Ben spares up this life, he will weigh the weight of your so-called 'Hani Great Demon King'! ”
Liu Yu was amused by this unashamed Qiang general again. However, Liu Yu's laughter this time has been infiltrated with unconcealed viciousness and violence! The hair-raising laughter was still wafting in the air, and his halberd was already fluttering. A half-arc was drawn. An incomparable aura shot out in the form of this half-arc. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Qiang soldiers who were eyeing him next to him had suddenly screamed wolf, and they fell out in different directions!
The Qiang general opposite Liu Yu only saw the enemy's weapons suddenly appear, and the dozen or so most skilled soldiers he deliberately left next to him had already fallen to the ground. That kind of fast method has reached an incredibly mysterious level. However, at this time, the Qiang general did not have more time to worry about his subordinates. Because Liu Yu's Zhan Tian Halberd had already poked straight at his eyebrows after drawing half an arc!
Scream. The fat body of the Qiang general drove the horse to spin, and his sledgehammer smashed nineteen times in one go! The strength as thick as a mountain could not stop Liu Yu's attack in the slightest, and the Zhantian Halberd, which was blessed by Liu Yu's skill, was like a large canopy of light and rain and cold flames that suddenly burst out, and it was extremely powerful and unusually shrouded towards the Qiang general! The cold light rain of the forest, one by one, one by one, was as slippery as a group of swimming fish under the water, all of them burst through the hammer wall dancing of the Qiang general in the blink of an eye, like a demon's curse, and all of a sudden attached to the body of the Qiang general!
The Qiang general was so frightened that his heart was almost bent into a fist, he screamed in horror, and the sledgehammer swung wildly, but the man drove his horse to the right side.
Liu Yu smiled sadly, the Zhan Tian Halberd swung out with indescribable speed, just across the way of the enemy's rush, the crescent-like blade silently swept through the neck of the Qiang general, and he didn't even have time to let out a miserable howl before he broke up.
All around, there was a dead silence, and every Qiang soldier who saw this situation froze in place as if they were stupid, their thinking seemed to be condensed all of a sudden, and their consciousness seemed to be violently numb, all of them stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and they were blankly betting on the head of the underground Qiang general. They couldn't believe their eyes, they didn't dare to admit the facts in front of them, how could a powerful general give up his life so unusually?
Liu Yu turned his head and looked at the grim figure named "Zhangba" who had been crawling underground since he started to attack, looking at his situation, it seemed that he was afraid that Liu Yu was afraid to the core. Liu Yu was curious, and couldn't help but say, "You, stand up!" ”
Convulsive, the "Zhangba" kneeling there was no longer cold, his face was full of tears and trembling and straightened up, he screamed in despair and fear: "Lord Wang......"
Liu Yu stared at this unimpressed figure and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" How did you know this king? The "Zhangba" kneeling there didn't know if he couldn't stand the extreme fear and horror in his heart, and he was so excited that he cried bitterly again, sobbing and sobbing, so sad! Liu Yu sighed and said softly: "What are the big men crying about!" Tell me where you came from! ”
"Zhangba" choked up and wailed bitterly: "Lord Wang...... The small one, the small one is called 'Zuo Mustache Zhangba', he was the escort general in front of the Tiangong general, and the small one has seen the divine power of the prince on the battlefield! ”
Liu Yu thought about it for a while, but he still didn't have any impression of this person, but looking at how much he was afraid of himself, it was all sincere. After glancing at him, Liu Yu asked calmly, "Are you willing to accept your fate, Zuo Zhangba?" Don't you want to struggle? Fight with me? ”
Zuo Zhanghachi hit his head on the ground, tears were in his eyes, and cried: "The little one doesn't dare...... Lord Wang, the little one would rather die than dare to fight against you......"
Am I really that scary? …… I'm afraid it's true! Otherwise, I've been idle here for so long, why didn't any Qiang soldiers come to me for revenge? Glancing at the cowering Qiang soldiers, Liu Yu groaned slightly. said: "Thinking that you still have a touch of conscience and a sense of remorse, I will give you a chance." Left mustache and beard. Will you be my subordinate? ”
Zuo Zhanghachi almost couldn't believe what he had just heard, he was stunned for a moment and touched his head to the ground with surprise on his face, choked, and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”
Although Liu Yu felt that this Zuo Zhangba's fear of himself was enough to ensure his loyalty to him, for the sake of insurance, Liu Yu still applied the "Charm Technique" to Zuo Zhangba, turning this first-class fighter with Wei Yan's seventy percent strength into his loyal dog!
At this time, Wei Yan also summoned all the people over. Liu Yu took a cursory look at it, and there were probably only more than 3,000 people left. Liu Yu motioned for Zuo Zhangba to get on the horse and follow him, although Wei Yan felt a little surprised. But I also know that this is not the right time to ask.
Liu Yu deliberately released his momentum to stimulate the blood of the Han soldiers, and then commanded in a loud voice: "Warriors, kill with this king!" In the midst of the soldiers' loud voices. Liu Yu took the lead and rushed to the outside of the iron chariot array with three thousand imposing remnants.
A Qiang general with a sharp steel cone in his hand roared. rushed towards Liu Yu with all his might, in a vain attempt to organize the itinerary of the Han army on his own. Full of this kind of self-conscious person, Liu Yu didn't even raise his eyes, and as soon as the Zhan Tian Halberd stood up, the Qiang general had already flown into the air! There was no wailing, no moaning, Qiang clasped his hands to his chest, and a face that was already not good-looking was distorted and deformed. A pair of lifeless dead fish eyes means that his soul has vanished!
The Blade Formation can be said to be the best assault formation. Its most important thing is to be sharp. The greater the ability of the sharp arrow, the greater the role of the formation. Of course, with Liu Yu's martial arts, he is really the best candidate to maximize the effect of the Blade Array.
Along the way, people blocked people and died, and cars blocked cars. Under the opening of Liu Yu's perverted force, more than 3,000 cavalry broke out of the siege with a loss of less than 200. In the earth-shattering cheers of the Han soldiers, Liu Yu ordered the surviving cavalry to go back to the camp to recuperate, and even Wei Yan, who wanted to ask Liu Yu for his guilt again, was forced back to the sleeping tent by Liu Yu to recuperate.
After letting the generals who came to greet Liu Yu return to their respective positions, Liu Yu entered the big tent with Zuo Zhangba. "Zuo Beard Zhangba, you will serve as a centurion in my pro-army back army in the future!"
Zuo Zhangba said with joy from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your master's appreciation, the slave will do his best to protect the master!" ”
Liu Yu nodded in encouragement, and then asked, "How long have you been in the Qiang tribe?" ”
"Since the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the minions have been wandering around and contacting the faithful with the intention of making a comeback. Later, seeing that there was no possibility of any more trouble, the slave was discouraged, and returned to the Qiang tribe to which his father belonged, and it has been more than eight years now! Although Zuo Zhangba was simple, he explained his past to Liu Yu without concealment.
"It turns out that you are a Qiang yourself!" Liu Yu sighed inexplicably.
"The slave is the son of his father and his Han female slave, because of his impure blood, not only can he not inherit the tribe, but he is constantly ostracized by his half-brother. If it weren't for the fact that the minions were appointed by the King of Qiang as the generals and the top four vanguards because of their good martial arts, the minions might have left a long time ago! ”
When he heard the words "Han female slave", Liu Yu was very uncomfortable. It seems that after Xianbei and Wuhuan, he is also going to teach the Qiang people...... Liu Yu wants them to understand that the Han nationality is the greatest and most noble nation in the world, and it is to be served and obeyed, how can it be oppressed and enslaved?!
"Since you are one of the four pioneers of the Qiang tribe, then you should have a certain understanding of the 'Iron Carriage Soldiers', right?"
"Yes." Zuo Zhangba knew what Liu Yu meant, and after he nodded, he automatically explained: "Although the Iron Cartridge is unmatched in terms of defense and impact, its requirements for the environment are very harsh. If the battlefield is in the desert, grass, or heavy snow or rainstorm, then with the weight of the iron car weighing thousands of catties, it will not be able to move quickly at all, and it will basically be useless! ”
###########################################################
For three days in a row, the Han army retreated without a fight. No way, who told God not to rain heavily! Although Liu Yu was convinced that with the combat effectiveness of the Han army, if he attacked strongly, it would be a sure victory, but the consequences would be more than half, and Liu Yu did not want to consume the precious lives of the Han soldiers at will!
Just as Liu Yu was sitting alone in the big tent and worried, the official in front of the tent suddenly reported. said that there was an old man who asked to see Liu Yu and wanted to offer Liu Yu a plan to break the Qiang. Although I don't know if it's true or not, being idle is also idle. Liu Yu immediately ordered someone to summon him.
Not long after, an old man in a green robe with loose crane bones and an ancient appearance walked into the tent. After seeing Liu Yu, he didn't bow down, but only bowed slightly and said, "Shanren Lou Zibo see the prince!" ”
Liu Yu didn't mind his faux pas, because Liu Yu was already attracted by his name: "Your name is Lou Zibo?" But that Lou Zibo, who lives in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain and is known as 'Mengmei Jushi'? ”
The old man smiled slightly, nodded calmly, and said, "It's the mountain man." ”
"Huh. Speaking of which, we are not outsiders. Liu Yu smiled and invited him to sit down, and said, "I have a little concubine, named Zhiruo." She's supposed to be your apprentice, right? I should call you 'Master' too!" ”
Lou Zibo seemed to have known about Zou Zhiruo's follow-up to Liu Yu for a long time, and there was no surprise on his face, and Liu Yu's second half of what he said did not make him uneasy. He just smiled and nodded.
He looks like a cheerful person. Liu Yu didn't say much, and asked directly: "Master, you said that you have a clever plan, is it true?" ”
"Yes, yes."
"I hope that Master will give me advice." Liu Yu said very sincerely.
Lou Zibo narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said softly: "The prince is praying for rain to the heavens?" ”
Nodding, Liu Yu said without concealment: "Yes, I have always hoped that there will be a heavy rain for me to fight and fall into the Qiang army, but unfortunately the sky is not beautiful......"
Lou Zibo smiled slightly. With an unfathomable look, he said, "Lord Wang." Don't worry. The mountain people had learned a little about the celestial phenomena, and had calculated that there would be a three-hour rainstorm in two days. Please also ask the prince to prepare early and decide Yongzhou with one drum! ”
Although he was a little skeptical about Lou Zibo, a weather forecaster, Liu Yu still ordered the army to make all kinds of preparations. When Lou Zibo's predicted time came, it really rained heavily.
Looking at the hard earth gradually turning muddy, Liu Yu couldn't help but praise: "Master, you are really amazing!" Let God rain when it rains, and he will rain when it comes......"
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Lou Zibo's face change, and he said urgently: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince." Mountain people are only favored by the heavens, so they can get a glimpse of the opportunity, and how dare to make the sky rain. The prince can't say this kind of thing in the future, which will be offended by heaven! ”
Liu Yu also reacted at this time, and immediately changed the topic in embarrassment: "Master, after today, Yongzhou will be completely calm. Your old selfless dedication will surely be praised by the people of Yongzhou! ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's words made Lou Zibo react again, but this time he blushed slightly.
What's going on? Am I saying the wrong thing again? …… Wait, looking at his expression, it seems to be ashamed...... I know that the reason why he came here to give advice is probably not for the people of Yongzhou, but because he himself has asked for me. I was still wondering why he had to stay, and he was going to ask me for payment when the plan worked......
For the sake of Lou Zibo's affection for Zou Zhiruo's mentorship, Liu Yu didn't intend to embarrass him, and relieved him: "Master, what are you embarrassed about?" I'm still quite capable, so why don't you tell me and see if I can help you! ”
Uncle Lou Zi took a breath, as if he had plucked up great courage, and said, "Lord Wang, for the sake of Zhiruo and the old man's old face, give the ancient tomb faction a way to live......"
"Tomb Pie?" Liu Yu thought for a while before he remembered: "Is it the tomb sect of the 'Mochou Fairy' in Zhongnan Mountain?" ”
Lou Zibo nodded, and then unexpectedly knelt down to Liu Yu, begging: "Please raise your noble hand, Lord Wang!" ”
What the hell is this amazing thing about? How can this indifferent person be begged to be a junior like me? Liu Yu was slightly surprised, helped up Lou Zibo and said, "Master, get up quickly." I'm confused right now, so you'd better tell me more about it first. I have no grievances with the Tomb Sect, why would you beg me to let them go? ”
Lou Zibo glanced at Liu Yu and explained, "Fairy Li of the Tomb Sect will only sell the 'Ice Spirit Silver Needle' because he is trapped in his livelihood. It's definitely not intentional to help those assassins who are trying to be unfavorable to you, and I hope that the prince will know it! ”
"I've also heard that Fairy Li has adopted hundreds of orphan girls in the past ten years. It seems that just to take care of these orphan girls, she will sell hundreds of Ice Spirit Silver Needles at the price of dozens of taels of gold each, right? Liu Yu had already remembered what Zou Zhiruo had said to him.
Lou Zibo looked overjoyed. Nodding again and again, "Exactly, exactly." Mochou Fairy is kind by nature, she just can't see people suffering. The sale of the 'Ice Spirit Silver Needle' is also to supplement life. It's definitely not against you, the prince! ”
His expression at the moment completely destroyed the image of a master in Liu Yu's mind, how can I say it - care is chaos! However, this situation still made Liu Yu feel a little strange: "I know all these things, and I have never intended to blame Fairy Li and the Tomb Sect, why do you ask me to let them live?" ”
After listening to Liu Yu's words, Lou Zibo's face changed again, and he asked suspiciously: "Aren't those people sent by you, Lord Wang?" ”
"Who are you sending? You can make it clear! Liu Yu was also confused.
"Since it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that the killer who assassinated the prince used the 'Ice Spirit Silver Needle'. There are many masters at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. They didn't directly attack the Tomb Sect, but on the one hand, they intercepted and killed those who wanted to go to the Tomb Sect to buy the 'Ice Spirit Silver Needle', and on the other hand, they kept intercepting the ordinary disciples sent by the Tomb Sect to buy daily necessities in the town at the foot of the mountain. ”
Liu Yu frowned. He asked, "Didn't Fairy Li expel those people?" ”
"Yes." Lou Zibo said helplessly: "However, once Fairy Li appears in the team that procures goods, those people will immediately flee and will never fight." ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly. said, "Isn't this all right?" In the future, Fairy Li will be more tired. Wouldn't it be okay to personally lead the team down the mountain every time? ”
Lou Zibo smiled bitterly and said: "If things are really so simple, then the mountain people will not be cheeky to beg the prince!" ”
"Oh? Are there any followers to those people? ”
"Not bad! Whenever Fairy Li wants to buy something, there will always be some people who show up and snap up the goods at a price several times higher than that of Fairy Li. Even Fairy Li wanted to buy a string of rock sugar gourds for five yuan for his disciples, but they were all bought by a big man at a high price of twenty yuan a string! ”
"How could there be such a boring person?" Liu Yu really felt a little funny.
However, Lou Zibo didn't feel the same way as Liu Yu, he said with a sad face: "Under the temptation of high prices, no one in the town is willing to sell things to Fairy Li, and the financial situation of the Tomb Sect does not allow Fairy Li to spend money indiscriminately. When the mountain people came to see the prince. The Tomb Sect has run out of oil and food, and can only rely on wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains and some prey to survive! ”
After hearing this. Liu Yu couldn't help but have a set of pictures in his mind: hundreds of yellow-faced and thin-skinned girls, searching for edible wild vegetables and fruits all over the mountains; And the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect, who are armed with martial arts, under the leadership of Fairy Li, get up early and hunt down the birds and beasts in the mountains. Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Lou Zibo glanced at Liu Yu and said with a slightly strange expression: "After the discussion between the mountain people and Fairy Li, we feel that the people who will spend a lot of effort to do such an 'extraordinary thing', I am afraid that there will be no one else except for you, Lord Wang!" ”
Liu Yu couldn't cry or laugh for a while: Am I such a boring person in their hearts? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that I am really the only person in the world who can waste so much manpower and financial resources to do this kind of "useless work"! But I didn't give such an order! Wait, this can't be done by my loyal dogs, right?
With Su Shuang and Tang Zhou's protector and cautious temperament, when they learned that Liu Yu had been assassinated and could not find the main owner, it was really possible for them to use the ancient tomb to vent their anger. If it weren't for Lou Zibo, Zou Zhiruo's mentor, who had a deep friendship with Fairy Li, the Tomb Sect might have been wiped out by those two "arrogant and domineering" guys to outsiders, right?!
Lou Zibo said with some trepidation: "Lord, look at this matter......"
Liu Yu naturally understood what he meant, and immediately expressed his attitude: "I really don't know about this matter, but please rest assured, Master, I will send someone down to investigate." If it weren't for my people, I'd help you out of this trouble by the way. If it was really my people, I would compensate the Tomb Sect for all the losses during this period! ”
Lou Zibo said with a happy expression: "There is no need to compensate for the loss, after all, the 'Ice Spirit Silver Needle' used by the assassin is indeed from the Tomb Sect, and we are more or less responsible." The prince can raise his noble hand and let us go, and the ancient tomb faction is already grateful! (To be continued.) )
