Chapter 150: Flower Heavy Jin Guancheng
As Chengdu gets closer and closer, the hearts of the soldiers are becoming more and more rippling.
When I left Bajun for three days, I met Liu Mingge who was carrying a cart of medicinal materials, and it turned out that this Prime Minister Liu really went to look for medicinal materials.
Along the way, Hu Qiansheng began to brag about what he had seen in Chengdu again, and even moved over the matter of the Seven Fairies going down to earth. Fortunately, no one has been to Chengdu, so no one has exposed him, and he should have fun and listen to his nonsense.
Liu Mingge told Li Xiaofei and Chen Kuan about what he found out from the local people, and this Chengdu is said to have fallen into the hands of the colorful fairy of the Cockscomb Pavilion.
Li Xiaofei laughed: "I can't imagine that Mr. Liu actually believes the nonsense of those veterans, and the local people dare to love the veterans pretending to be them." Why don't they all say that there are seven fairies? ”
Chen Kuan also shook his head: "This is too outrageous, I have followed Chen Dashuai into battle for half my life, and I have never encountered such a thing." Most of them are just false rumors from the people."
Liu Mingge didn't argue: "Anyway, it's almost Chengdu soon, and we have the right to listen to a story to relieve boredom!" People have to make up some daydreams for themselves, otherwise this life will be too bleak! ”
When I arrived at the city of Chengdu, the city gate was closed. Li Xiaofei and Chen Kuan shouted for the door, but seven women with the defenders really appeared in the city and fired arrows towards the city.
I saw that these seven women were each wearing seven colors of purple, red, white, yellow, blue, black and blue, no wonder the people said that there were seven fairies, and there were really seven women.
The Liang army under the city was stunned, although these seven women were not stunning, but the combination of seven colors of clothes, coupled with the foil of the surrounding soldiers, and the roses and azaleas covered on the city wall, were really amazing to the audience.
"Unexpectedly, this Chengdu fell into the hands of a group of women! It's very interesting, Xiaofei, don't rush to attack the city first, I'm going to meet them! Liu Mingge turned his head and explained a few words to Li Xiaofei, and then jumped onto the city.
The city fired a burst of arrows at Liu Mingge, but they were all blocked by Liu Mingge without accident.
"Don't let go of the arrows, array!" The purple-clothed woman led by her drew her sword and rushed towards Liu Mingge, and the group of women behind her also followed with a long sword and a long sword
Liu Mingge lay down on the battlements of the city wall, propped up his head with his left hand and looked at these women with a smile: "Purple-dressed, the eyes are a little small, and they lack the artistic conception of affection; The one in red clothes is too sad and boring; The one in white clothes is too big and not gentle enough; Those in yellow clothes have too big faces and are not delicate enough; The green clothes, this makeup doesn't match the clothes, it's too ugly. ”
Before she finished speaking, the woman in purple on the opposite side was furious: "You thief, relying on your martial arts skills, you will speak lightly to us, and you will be chopped up today!" ”
"If the anger is heavy, it hurts the liver, and the face will turn yellow and black! It's not good, it's not good," Liu Mingge continued to tease them
Seeing that the women's swords were about to be slashed, Liu Mingge raised his head and held his hand, and rushed towards them, only to hear a sound of ping-pong, and the women's weapons were knocked to the ground one after another, Liu Mingge continued to lie on the battlements of the city wall behind them and looked at them: "It seems that you don't have any strong martial arts, it's just that no one in Chengdu is a man." Haha, this city of abundance has fallen into the hands of a few of you women, fortunately I came, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"You thief, don't be rampant! Shoot the arrows! Kill him! The woman in purple ordered again
A dense rain of arrows continued to shoot towards Liu Mingge, and Liu Mingge shuttled out with his back to the ground, like a snake walking through the ground of the city wall for a while, then stood up and continued to laugh: "Don't waste your efforts, why don't you sit down and make me a cup of tea, dance for me again, play the piano, and let me give me some pointers, maybe you can still achieve something!" ”
"Phew, you black dwarf, why? This king will not give in even if he is a ghost! Look at the sword! The woman in purple continued to scold Liu Mingge
Liu Mingge simply closed his eyes: "Don't look, the girl is really a good sword, haha"
"Sister, this person is so weird, his martial arts are strong, he can only use Skynet to deal with him!" The woman in red said to the woman in purple
Liu Mingge heard it, but he didn't care about it and continued to close his eyes.
"Cast the net!" The woman in purple gave an order, and Liu Mingge also felt something strange on the top of her head, and hurriedly opened her eyes
In front of him was a large net made of countless hemp ropes and bamboo silk, no, it was a large wall inlaid with countless flowers, Liu Mingge looked at the dense petals of flowers falling from the top of his head, and the sword in his hand slipped to his feet.
"Mr. Liu, get out of the way!" Li Xiaofei under the city was in a hurry, after all, this net was too big, and behind the net that Li Xiaofei saw under the city, countless fishing nets entangled with thorns were also scattered.
"Haha, what's flashing, it's a blessing to be able to see what it means to be happy in the flowers in this life. Besides, I can't bear to draw my sword against these flowers! I'll be caught by them! ”
Liu Mingge said it easily, but Li Xiaofei couldn't rest assured, after all, the other party was hostile, in case it was impossible to say that Liu Mingge was directly set on fire or thrown into a dry well to be buried, it would be a big mess.
However, things in this world are often more embarrassing, seeing that Liu Mingge was willing to throw himself into the net, Li Xiaofei had to withdraw first and then think of a good strategy to attack the city.
Li Xiaofei said: "Beat the drum and collect the troops!" ”
It may be that the soldiers haven't seen a woman for a long time, looking at the seven women dancing with knives and guns in the city and distracted, Li Xiaofei said four words, only listening to the two words of drumming.
So the four drummers beat their drums vigorously, as if they were deliberately fiddling in front of the enemy to show that they were strong and powerful.
The drums beat loudly, the soldiers thought they were going to attack the city, and Li Xiaofei just wanted to repeat the military order again, but it was too late.
The one who rushed to the front was originally recruited by a group of outlaws, and he felt that the enemy army was led by a woman, so they all moved forward bravely, and they didn't care about the arrows in their bodies.
This time, the ladder and other objects did not have time to be arranged, and a group of reckless men directly hit the city gate with a crashing wood.
The defenders of the city did not expect the other side to attack the city in such a stupid way, and moved a large number of soldiers and oil and gold juice rolling wood and stones to the city walls, and the city gates were guarded only by a hundred or so people and a few sabers.
The manic siege team almost frantically slammed into the city gate, and Li Xiaofei was not idle here, and still erected the cloud ladder to attack the city.
Liu Mingge was still lying in the net waiting to be caught, and the purple-clothed woman led by her swung her sword and stabbed Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge dangled in the net: "What, don't you take me hostage?" It would be a big loss to kill me, but I am the prime minister today! ”
"Phew, how can there be a hooligan to be a prime minister, don't be so arrogant with your martial arts! Come on, burn him! ”
Then more than a dozen people carried oil and splashed it on Liu Mingge, and when Liu Mingge saw that it was a real guy, he tore the net with both hands and jumped out
"Sure enough, it's the most poisonous woman's heart, I still want to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but you want to burn me! Then you're welcome! ”
As he spoke, he flashed to the purple-clothed woman and grabbed her: "Don't resist uselessly, even without me, your people can't hold this city, and there is a steady stream of people attacking the city below!" ”
The other six women surrounded Liu Mingge with people: "Don't mess around! You can't escape! Release the Queen! ”
"I didn't plan to run away, oh, this is your queen, no wonder you have such a big temper, let it go" Liu Mingge pushed the woman in purple away, jumped and grabbed the woman in red
Liu Mingge's body was extremely fast, the woman in purple stumbled and was supported left and right, Liu Mingge pressed the neck of the woman in red and smiled: "I'm talking about it, let your queen go, by the way, the city gate seems to be broken!" ”
Everyone looked over, only to see that a lot of Liang troops had rushed into the city gate, and the arrows on the urn city were only shot down, but they were all blocked by the besieging soldiers raising their shields, and when the rolling wood and stones were thrown down, the Liang army had already broken through the inner gate.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, the woman in purple drew her sword and put it across her neck: "Sisters, I'd rather die than insult these people!" ”
Liu Mingge immediately let go of the woman in red and ran over to snatch the sword of the woman in purple: "You guys think too much, all this is a misunderstanding!" We're not going to do anything to you! ”
Seeing that the women were stopped by this man, they all lost their swords and resigned themselves to fate.
Liu Mingge let go of the woman in red and her expression became serious: "Fortunately, I came, otherwise with your skills and such combat power, I am afraid that you will be beaten to pieces!" Behold, all your men are scattered! ”
The seven women looked at it for a while, except for the woman in purple, who lowered their heads and remained silent.
The woman in purple was unwilling: "Don't think that you can sit still if you attack in!" There are still hundreds of thousands of people in this city, and if you still don't treat us as human beings, you will be driven out one day! ”
As he spoke, he saw that the hundreds of people who entered the city first by the Liang army had already begun to smash the shops and rob them, and the woman in purple laughed at Liu Mingge: "Look, this is the army of your court!" What's the difference with those bandits! ”
Liu Mingge had nothing to say, so he had to jump down from the city and said in the air: "Don't move around here, I'll come when I go!" ”
I saw Liu Mingge swinging his long sword from the roof and running towards the Liang army in front, the sword flashed on the ground, and several soldiers who were holding a pile of cloth and jade were killed by Liu Mingge on the spot.
"If there are any more robbers of people's houses, there will be no forgiveness!" Liu Mingge shouted
Chen Kuan was about to step forward when he was stopped by Li Xiaofei: "Uncle Kuan, forget it, Mr. Liu has never been in the army!" I don't know the rules in the army! ”
The so-called rules in the army are things that everyone knows, and the soldiers who break the city first can loot property, as long as they don't kill people.
The hundreds of people who rushed to the front this time were the siege elites transferred from the Chen family's army, Liu Mingge suddenly killed a few soldiers who were looting property with a horizontal sword in front, and the others immediately stopped, unconvinced but did not dare to speak out.
This Liu Mingge's martial arts and ruthlessness have long been heard of, and when Liu Mingge saw that everyone stopped, he continued to put the long sword on his back and jumped on the roof to go to the city wall.
Liu Mingge can preside over justice freely, but Li Xiaofei can't, if Li Xiaofei doesn't want to find a way to appease these people who have broken the city, these people will mutiny, even if Chen Kuan is here.
Li Xiaofei stepped forward: "All brothers are meritorious people, after settling down, I, Li Xiaofei, guarantee that you will each have a reward, and just now I unfortunately killed a few brothers, and I want to redouble my sympathy for their relatives!" The Prime Minister's orders must also be obeyed and executed, and they must not be committed again! ”
The belongings taken out by the few people who were killed were scattered on the ground, and as soon as Liu Mingge left, the rest of the people were all separated. Seeing that Li Xiaofei came out to be a peacemaker, picked up some more belongings, and promised a reward, he naturally thought that nothing had happened.
Liu Mingge returned to the city, and the seven women admired him very much at this time: "It seems that you are really a big official!" Let's believe you! ”
"You have to believe me, I'm a good person!"
The army entered the city, and seven women led their henchmen team of 300 people to surrender to Liu Mingge.
hugged Liu Mingge's thigh, and the seven women told each other frankly what had happened in the past few months.
After Luo Xian's army was defeated, he fled back to Chengdu, and was killed by his subordinates, who fought for their own affairs, and then the military supplies could not be supplied, so they plundered the merchants and people in the city.
These seven women had already built a Jinguan Pavilion together, and there were hundreds of people under them, all of whom were killed from the bandits' dens in the mountains. Luo Xian's subordinates were nicknamed the Embroidery Army, and their combat effectiveness was low, except for being able to bully the people who had no weapons in their hands, and they collapsed at once when they met really well-trained people.
The leader of these seven women was the woman in purple, named Yu Ziyuan, and they didn't expect that their hundreds of people would defeat nearly 10,000 defenders in Chengdu, and they captured Chengdu in a daze, and they were respected as queens.
The remaining six women are called Qin Hongyao, Shen Qingteng, Feng Baiji, Zheng Puhuang, Song Yanmo, and Xiang Lily of the Valley.
Liu Mingge looked at them again: "What a colorful Jinguan Pavilion, those white dings are called Cockscomb Pavilion, haha." I said how this splendid land has a cheesy name. Since that's the case, you follow me to meet that stupid boy handsome, and I still need your help in Chengdu! ”
Liu Mingge's words reassured them, it seems that this person who doesn't seem to be serious is indeed a great character.
After meeting Li Xiaofei, Yu Ziyuan and others expressed their willingness to hand over their family tribes and property, and only begged Li Xiaofei and others not to kidnap the people of Chengdu again.
"It's not that we are stupid, but the people of Chengdu have been looted several times in half a year like leeks, and even their clothes have been stripped of their clothes at the worst time. If Li Dashuai wants to set up another tax donation to the labor army, then the people will only have a dead end! Yu Ziyuan knelt down as she spoke
Li Xiaofei hurriedly helped him up: "It's the first time I've met you like you, who are willing to donate their own property for the people of a city!" You all understand the righteousness so well, I don't say that I am afraid that Prime Minister Liu Cheng will take my life! ”
Liu Mingge ignored him and listened to their conversation with his eyes closed.
Chen Kuan was still a little unconvinced, and asked: "You have donated all your family property, what will you do in the future?" ”
Yu Ziyuan smiled: "We know a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we are proficient in the trading of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, wine, rice and cloth, if the adults can trust it, lend us some principal, and return it to you with interest in less than three years!" ”
Li Xiaofei coughed: "Ahem, since that's the case, you don't have to donate all your family property, as long as you can help me maintain the expenses of this tens of thousands of troops, including myself, this time can be available for you to deploy!" ”
Qin Hongyao interjected: "Lord Li is a lion's mouth, tens of thousands of troops consume tens of thousands of catties of corn in a day, how can we seven families afford it!" ”
Liu Mingge couldn't help but speak: "Li Xiaofei, you can accept it when you see it!" Since Chengdu has been returned to the imperial court, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court left thousands of people to assist in the defense, and the rest were allowed to return to their hometowns with some special products of Shu after receiving the reward, which also saved many troubles. The seven of you will find a way to collect the specialties of Shuzhong, whether it is medicinal herbs, cloths or toy clothes! ”
"Tens of thousands of specialties, we can still think of a way, thank you Prime Minister Liu and Li Dashuai!" Yu Ziyuan bowed and thanked him
"It's not good that we are doing well, tens of thousands of troops are on an expedition, and if we can't get the rewards we deserve, maybe we will mutiny, but if we want to give rich rewards, we have to exploit the people. So I can only talk about my heart! Liu Mingge returned
"Actually, the little woman has an idea, our salt tea Shu brocade just needs to be escorted to Jingzhou and Yangzhou for delivery. If you ask the army of the imperial court to escort you, it will be safe and more transported. If you take out 30% of the proceeds of these goods to work the army, you can kill two birds with one stone! Song Yanmo suddenly remembered this idea
Li Xiaofei and Liu Mingge were still a little hesitant, after all, it was still a little unreasonable to let the army and businessmen do business.
Chen Kuan agreed: "This is really a good idea, there are many people in this army who are originally coolies who are engaged in cargo transportation, and they are also suitable for this!" In this way, there will be no violation of military discipline by stealing chickens and dogs because of boredom during the march! ”
The two sides hit it off, but Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered that there was a place: "Sword Pavilion, the Sword Gate Pass is not in our hands now, will it be inappropriate to withdraw the army of the imperial court now?" ”
"Jianmen Pass has never been forcibly broken by any army, even if there is a hundred thousand troops in vain!" Liu Mingge responded
