Chapter 52: Cizhou (2)
Deng Junliang suddenly said: "My lord, I heard that Liu Feng, the new lord of Liujiabao, has opened up a lot of land in the direction of Nanshe County, Cizhou, recruiting displaced people, and there are four battalions of elite soldiers under his command, and Liu Feng Bayar and others are also brave and good at fighting. Now that we are in a predicament in Cizhou, it is not easy to come to Liujiabao, for today's plan, it is better to seek cooperation with Liujiabao! ”
"Do you want the official to turn to him for help?"
Zeng Yu frowned when he heard this, since Liu Feng rose in Liujiabao, in just half a year, he was full of tricks, and he became famous in Cizhou, coupled with the Liujiabao caravan, the advertisement made for Liu Feng, so that the world only heard that there was a young castle lord Liu Feng in Cizhou, but he didn't know that he was the city guard of Cizhou, and Liu Feng's flamboyant style made him hate.
Deng Junliang said: "Liu Feng is not only the lord of Liujiabao in Cizhou, but also can repel tens of thousands of bandits in the military and civilians in the fort. ”
Zeng Yu was a little unwilling, and said, "Is there no other way?" ”
Deng Junliang said: "My lord! That's the only way I can think of at the moment. ”
Zeng Yu was silent, and there was silence in the hall. I only listened to the report of the guards outside the hall: "Old lady of the Yu family, please guard the city and talk about it!" ”
Zeng Yu said: "Wait a while and go!" “
Deng Junliang said: "The matter of the adult alliance cannot be delayed!" Think again! ”
Zeng Yu said helplessly: "After I meet the old man, I will come to discuss!" ”
Deng Junliang said: "It's okay."
……
Cizhou, in the study of the Yu family.
With a snap, a white piece fell on the chessboard, breaking the last way of life of a big dragon in Heizi, Yu Taisheng smiled at Zeng Yu on the ground, "Zeng Yu, you lost!" ”
Zeng Yu sighed and threw the Go pieces in his hand back into the chess box, "The old man's chess skills are exquisite, even if I tried my best to take the lead, I still lost a big defeat, I really admire." ”
Yu Taisheng laughed, but there was incomparable bitterness in his laughter: "I took the lead, but I may not be able to win, I occupied this Cizhou City with *** first, but I was also trapped by this Cizhou City, and it is difficult to do anything anymore!" Now that you have taken the lead again, you still let the kid of the Liu family make a fortune and make people happy! ”
"Why should the old man sigh, he Liu Feng is just a local tyrant, and when our Cizhou City survives this year, it will inevitably prosper." Zeng Yu said with a smile.
"A local tyrant?" Yu Taisheng smiled and threw the white son in his hand into the chess box, "Zeng Yu, after taking over Cizhou, I know that you are ambitious, and after the drastic rectification, there has also been a great improvement, but our luck is not good, it coincides with the drought." ”
"The boss doesn't need to sigh, everything will pass smoothly, Cizhou still belongs to us." Zeng Yu said affirmatively,
"Good! Good! Yu Taisheng continued with some relief; How can this Cizhou not let his Liu family dominate!! This is the Liu family's boy's post! As he spoke, he took out Liu Feng's greeting post.
Zeng Yu didn't understand for a while, what did this mean, he was still worried, how to contact Liu Feng, but he didn't expect it, but Liu Feng came to visit, he smiled and lowered his head, but the smile on his face was a little strange.
……
The next day after talking with Guo Chongtao, Liu Feng took Ulan to the road to Cizhou, Liu Feng seemed a little listless, yesterday was called by his mother to preach, and several uncles told him again, they were not worried that Liu Feng went to Cizhou alone, but under Liu Feng's racking of brains, he agreed to take Ulan to Cizhou together.
At this time, Liu Feng and Ulan rode together, as if he intended to punish Ulan for not helping him intercede yesterday, Liu Feng was a little half-lying in Ulan's arms, dozing off, moving his head from time to time, looking for that soft and comfortable position, which made Ulan both embarrassed and helpless, but fortunately, the guards on the side chose to ignore this scene.
There were seventeen of them, Liu Yanying accompanied him with a group of personal guards, and the group of mounts that were originally Liu Feng followed behind the horse team, leisurely and leisurely. The three packs were wrapped in some long boxes, but they were gifts prepared by Liu Feng for Cizhou, which were Qiang knives made by the military battalion.
Liu Feng, who was lying in Wulan's arms, was still quite nervous about seeing Yu Taisheng soon, Yu Taisheng as a character of the same generation as his grandfather, there are still many legends in this Cizhou, he is a craftsman, more than ten years ago, he took the chestnut from the fire, changed from a craftsman, and became the head of a state, which is a legend.
And his operation in Cizhou for many years, deterred the Zhaoyi Army from daring to offend Cizhou, and even the wolf rode south, but only forced the confession, and for more than ten years, there was no major war in Cizhou. It's just that because of his health, he had to abdicate to make way for Xian and Zeng Yu. But as Liu Feng said before leaving, Liu Yunfu said: "Being old and not dying is a thief, and this old man who has been lying on the bed for many years but can still control Cizhou is not so easy to deal with." ”
Walking on the road to Cizhou, Liu Feng was full of emotion, because there was a rain yesterday, all the way, all the mud, fortunately they all rode horses, although they did not delay the road, but they did not dare to run quickly, the big pile was full of mud spots.
On the way, when they met the villagers who had moved south, they suffered and rolled up their sleeves and pushed their carts forward on the muddy roads. was already thin because he couldn't eat, and then he was walking in muddy water, and that scene could not be described.
Cizhou originally had the equal territory of Wu'anyi Shexian Wei County Linzhangyang, and still controlled by Cizhou, only Wei County and Linzhang County, Liujiabao was originally under the jurisdiction of Shexian County, and now Shexian County has been occupied by the Zhaoyi Army, but Yangping County of Wu'anyi has surrendered to the Khitan. The two county towns of Wei County and Linzhang have been dilapidated, and some of the surplus wealth has moved to Cizhou to live.
However, the more you go to the direction of Cizhou, the more peaceful it becomes, there is no scene of starvation and death, and it is a little comforting for Liu Feng, from Liujiabao to Cizhou City, the road happens to pass through Wu'anyi, the county town that has surrendered to the Khitan, to no longer suffer from plunder, but also not rich, and the villagers encountered on the road are numb.
Along the way, Liu Feng was leisurely, and he could arrive in two days, but let him walk for three days, with Liu Yanying worrying about camping, Liu Feng took Ulan around to play, of course, sometimes it is inevitable to move his hands and feet, but what annoys him is that he can only touch but can't eat, in the words of Ulan's shyness, sooner or later it's all yours, what's the hurry?
Three days later, everyone finally reached the outline of Cizhou City, and Ulan and all the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived. This road is three hundred miles, Liu Feng is at ease, when he wakes up, he plays tricks with Ulan, and when he is tired, he lies in Ulan's arms to rest. But his guards were not so easy, along the way, their nerves kept collapsing, and they encountered countless bandits and thieves along the way. Who knows if there will be some guys who don't have long eyes on the way and enter Cizhou City, it will be much better, at least in terms of safety, even the arrogant Liu Yanying is a little relaxed.
