Chapter 783: King Chen of the Chen Kingdom
Kuai Liang was already ready for battle.
Hearing the noise of gongs and drums outside the city, and the galloping of war horses, my heart was already nervous.
Who expected that the enemy did not come to attack the city, but after giving them a dismount, they retreated and set up camp to rest.
This operation can stunned Kuai Liang, not only that, but the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower were also stunned by Liu Zheng's operation, and they didn't know whether to continue to guard here for a while, or disperse like this.
Of course, Kuai Liang will not let them disperse, but let these defenders continue to stay on the city tower, ready to guard against the attack of those enemies under the city.
After all, fighting a war is a trick, and between fiction and reality, it may determine the outcome of the battle.
Kuai Liang didn't dare to be careless at all.
Kuai Liang's preparation was indeed not completely useless, and after Liu Zheng's men and horses set up camp, they began to continue to set up their movements, and began to run around the entire Runan City.
As soon as Liu Zheng's men and horses moved, the defenders on the city tower began to get nervous, and they immediately waited for each other.
However, this time, it was obviously just a temptation, and Liu Zheng didn't really want to rely on these cavalry under his command to launch an attack on Runan City.
Kuai Liang was not interested in his words of persuasion, so Liu Zheng couldn't make them feel better, when besieging the city, pretending to attack, these virtual and real strategies still had to be done.
The purpose is actually very simple, that is, I don't want these horses of Kuailiang to rest in Runan City.
Liu Zheng needs to mobilize their nervousness so that they can't maintain a good rest.
Wait until Liu Zheng's reinforcements arrive and really want to attack, and it really takes no effort to defeat them.
And then directly seize this Runan City.
Although it seems simple, if you want to make Kuai Liang in this city, you really need some acting skills.
Liu Zheng did not play in person, he ordered Xu Huang to send soldiers and horses to run around the city in batches.
After running a lap, the defenders of the city looked nervous one by one.
They didn't dare to be careless, after all, if they were a little careless, in case it was really a siege, they would not have time to stop it, so they could only be ready at all times.
After running a few times a day, even the most energetic person can become a little sleepy.
And Liu Zheng didn't plan to end there, and even sent people to harass them at night, so that they could not have a good rest.
Of course, these things do not need Liu Zheng to do in person, and at this time, Liu Zheng took Liu Pet back to Chen State, intending to take over the soldiers and horses left in Chen State.
Runan is very close to Chen Guo, and it is Liu Chong, the king of Chen, who personally returns to Chen Guo. It didn't take much effort to reach the palace of Chen Guo directly.
Tran is the only place in the nearby states and counties that has not suffered much fighting.
When Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and Runan before, he actually wanted to include all these vassal states near Chen into his territory.
However, Yuan Shu has always been afraid of Liu Chong's strength, and did not take the initiative to attack Liu Chong.
After all, Liu Pet had already gathered more than 100,000 people in Chen Guo at that time. These hundreds of thousands of people and horses are all soldiers and horses that can participate in the war, but there are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses who were really recruited by Liu Chong, because his identity is different, after all, he is the prince and the king, once he really mobilizes more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will definitely cause the jealousy of the imperial court, so for his own sake, Liu Chong did not really recruit more than 100,000 people.
This is also the reason why Yuan Shu has never dared to attack Chen Guo.
Later, after Yuan Shu was eliminated, Liu Biao was also afraid of Liu Chong's strength and did not act rashly.
In just a few years, the development of Chen Guo has been getting better and better, and it is one of the few peaceful places near Yuzhou.
At this time, Liu Zheng brought Liu Pet here.
Liu Zheng did not express his identity, but asked Liu Pet to lead the group directly into the palace.
At this time, Luo Jun was temporarily in charge of the palace.
Luo Jun, as the state minister of Chen Guo, is actually equivalent to the position of Chen Juntaishou.
The Han Dynasty implemented the parallel system of counties and states, and the fiefdom of a vassal state was almost the size of a county, and the princes had a high degree of autonomy in the vassal states, but they did not have military power, and military power was generally in the hands of the prime minister.
This left the princes and kings with little strength to rebel. Because they have no ability at all, the military power is in the hands of the prime minister, and they may rebel with it.
However, unlike other counties, the relationship between Luo Jun, the minister of Chen, and Liu Chong is very harmonious, and Liu Chong himself is a powerful figure.
He has some martial arts, so he can work with Luo Jun to govern Chen Guo well.
Hearing that Liu Pet was back, Luo Jun, who was the Minister of State, was very surprised.
He tried a lot of hard work to rescue Liu Pet from Liu Zheng's men, but he didn't expect Liu Pet to come back by himself.
Under the instructions of his subordinates, Luo Jun immediately entered the palace and met Liu Chong.
As soon as he saw Luo Jun, Liu Pet spoke to Luo Jun first.
"Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a long time, this king wants to kill you!"
During the days that Liu Zheng was imprisoned in Wu County, Liu Pet did have a bad time. Although he was not abused by Liu Zheng, he was detained in the courtyard alone. It's always sad to not have freedom.
For those friends at home, they must also miss it very much, and now that they finally see Luo Jun, Liu Pet is naturally a little emotional.
"The king is finally back, but I really want to kill me, I sent a lot of people to rescue you, but they didn't succeed!"
As soon as he saw Liu Pet, Luo Jun began to tell about his hard work, mainly because Luo Jun was also worried that Liu Pet came back by himself, and he was afraid that Liu Pet would blame himself and not rescue him.
Although they have a good relationship, it is better to explain this kind of major event involving life clearly.
"Prime Minister, it's okay now, I'm back, hurry up and get some wine and meat, I want to have a good meal first!"
Liu Pet didn't think much about these things, as soon as he came back, he wanted to eat and drink in a familiar place first, and then slowly deal with the things that Liu Zheng explained to him.
As soon as Luo Jun was about to agree, he saw Liu Zheng beside Liu Chong.
However, he had never seen Liu Zheng, and at first sight, he didn't recognize Liu Zheng.
"Your Majesty, who is this?"
Although he didn't recognize Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, as well as the guards brought by Liu Zheng's side, had already aroused Luo Jun's suspicions.
"Oh? He will be my lord from now on. ”
Liu Pet is very calm, since he has taken refuge in Liu Zheng, he thinks very clearly.
"My lord?"
Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed.
