Outside the west city of Baoshan County.

"Baoshan County Lieutenant Li Liang pays a visit to the general!" A man in iron armor led a few officials to greet Liu De.

Liu De dismounted and helped Li Liang up, looked left and right, and asked, "I don't know where the Baoshan County Order is?" ”

"Uh..."

Li Liang hesitated for a moment before saying, "As early as a few days ago, the county order ran away with his family..."

When Liu De heard this, his face turned cold, and he scolded: "These countries are moths, it's really hard to die!" ”

"The general is angry!" The crowd hurriedly persuaded.

"Do you know where the county order fled?"

"General Qiyu doesn't know!"

"Humph! Jian Yong, write down the order of Baoshan County, as the head of a county, he actually abandoned the city and fled, if he catches this person, according to the law of the Great Zhou, behead! ”

"Yes!" Jian Yong said that he understood, and quickly took the note on the bamboo slip.

Seeing that Liu De finished speaking, Li Liang hurriedly invited: "Please also invite the general to enter the city to rest, I have prepared a banquet to entertain all the Dongyu generals in Baoshan!" ”

Liu De waved his hand: "No need, time is urgent, don't hold any banquets, County Lieutenant Li, you can still stick to Baoshan after the county order escapes, which means that you are also a loyal and patriotic person, and when we defeat the enemy, I will ask Your Majesty for credit." ”

"Thank you, General!" Li Liang hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, but his expression was depressed, obviously not believing that Liu De would be able to defeat the nearly 100,000 Lin Hu army stationed outside the city. Alas, if I had been as close to heaven as the county order, I would not have stayed in such a dangerous place! Li conscience wailed.

"County Lieutenant Li, you come and tell me about the situation of Lin Hu's army outside the city!" Liu De asked, but Liu De only found out at this time that many parts of the city wall in Baoshan County were slightly piled up and fixed by wooden planks and soil, and they were obviously newly repaired, and relying on such a city wall could not resist the Lin Hu army at all.

This is a joke on the lives of the soldiers!

Liu De grabbed Li Liang's neck and asked, "County Lieutenant Li, what's going on with this city wall, how can there be so much damage?" Do you have an explanation? ”

"General, General! Let me explain it to you! Li Liang held Liu De's arm with both hands and pleaded.

"Humph!"

Liu De let go of his arm, snorted coldly, and said, "If you should lie to me, you should know the consequences!" ”

"Yes, yes! General, this is not the place to speak, and please follow me into the city for a while, so that I can tell the general the truth. Li Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Liu De.

"Okay, I'm going to hear what's going on, Yan Nan, organize the soldiers to enter the city and take over all the defenses of Baoshan!" Liu De ordered.

"The last general commands!" Yan Nan said yes.

Li Liang didn't dare to object, and he didn't have any reason to object, with the more than 1,000 old and sick people under his hands who were the opponents of Lin Hu's 100,000 tiger and wolf army, I am afraid that in just one round, these more than 1,000 people will be eaten without even slag.

Liu De rode horses to the county government with Li Liang and other Baoshan officials, while Yannan organized soldiers to enter the city outside the city, divided the generals' defensive areas, strictly forbade the soldiers to disturb the people, and sent scouts to listen to the information of the Lin Hu army outside the eastern city.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Dongyu Army are busy, they are well organized, and compared with the dull Baoshan soldiers, they are majestic and amazing.

......

"General, please have tea!"

Li Liang handed a cup of hot tea to Liu De with both hands and said respectfully.

Liu De took a sip of hot tea and said to Li Liang: "Let's talk about it!" What the hell is going on? ”

Li Liang rubbed his hands, a little uneasy, and sighed: "General Liu, you must know that although I am the county lieutenant of a county, commanding 500 soldiers and horses, I must be controlled by the county order and obey its orders, and there are hundreds of people who are controlled by the county order's cronies, and the county order is related to the sky, how can I stop it, if I stop it, I am afraid that I will already be the soul of the county order!" With that, he wiped his reddened eyes.

Liu De's eyes flashed, and he put down the teacup: "The destruction of the city wall was done by the county commander?" ”

Li Liang nodded, "Since the county order took office, he only knows how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, no matter what kind of defense construction, the city wall has long been dilapidated, so it is easy to be destroyed by the county order's cronies." ”

"Whose person is that county order?" Although Liu De asked this question, he already had a candidate in his heart, which was the disgusting and ugly old face with only a few strands of beard under his chin that he had seen several years ago.

"It's Yang Zhoumu!"

Li Liang said. Li Liang is just a county lieutenant in a small county town, an eight-rank official, how could he know the hatred between Liu De and Yang Zichuan.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Liu De didn't say anything for a long time, Li Liang thought that Liu De was afraid of Yang Zichuan's might, and smiled bitterly in his heart, yes! On the land of Yanzhou, Yang Zichuan is undoubtedly the sky, how can people go against the sky?

Liu De didn't speak, but he was actually thinking about a question, what gave Yang Zichuan the confidence to destroy Leyang City, and let Lin Hu drive straight in without threatening him Yang Zichuan's rule in Yanzhou. Now he finally got some things out of his mind.

The Beihu and Qiang tribes united more than a dozen small tribes to attack Donghu, to pull down the former grassland overlord, and Lin Hu also wanted to do the position of the grassland overlord, so a large number of weapons and armor were urgently needed, one was to eliminate Donghu, and the other was to compete with the Beihu and Qiang people for resources on the grassland, without a large number of sharp weapons, so they reached this agreement with Yang Zichuan, and Yang Zichuan only had one, let Lin Hu help destroy Leyang City and Dongyu City who did not obey his orders.

The reason is that Leyang City and Dongyu City control the only two main roads to the grassland, which completely hinders Yang Zichuan's smuggling activities, and the hatred with Liu Shang is one thing, but blocking Yang Zichuan's financial route is probably the most important.

Lao Ma once pointed out: if there is a 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With 20% of the profits, capital is active; With 50% of the profits, capital is desperate; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging his head.

Liu De was a little annoyed, and only now did he finally get things straight, in fact, the main reason was that the intelligence was not timely and his subordinates did not have a strategist who was good at analyzing the general situation, although Yan Nan was resourceful, but in fact, Yan Nan's main identity was still the general who led the troops rather than a strategist who gave advice.

Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Tan Zheng, Feng Xiuqing, Jia Lulong and even Chen Lao are all handsome for a while, and they are experts in handling political affairs, but they can't strategize and win thousands of miles away.

Liu De has never been as eager to have a strategist who advises him as he does today.

Who will be my son's room? Liu De fell into deep thought.

......

"County Lieutenant Li, since the county orders have run away, why don't you run? After all, even if the court blames it, it will first find trouble with the Baoshan County Order! Liu De turned his head and asked.

Li Liang smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "General, who is not afraid of death?" It's just that the county order is Yang Zichuan's clansman, and the court will not blame him. And I'm just an ordinary soldier, a son of a poor family, no power or power, but the old county commander appreciated my martial arts and promoted me to the county lieutenant of a city, if I ran away, one is sorry for the old county order's kindness, and the other is sorry for the villagers and fathers up and down Baoshan, after all, I was born in Baoshan and grew up in Baoshan. What's more, I will inevitably become the scapegoat of the county order, it doesn't matter if I die, I am afraid that my old mother and wife and children will be affected by me, and I will not be able to live in peace. So I can't run, and I don't dare to run. ”

After hearing this, Liu De patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "You are also a man!" ”

Li Liang grinned and said to Liu De: "General, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if I also had a family background as a county order, I would have run away a long time ago." ”

"If a man wants to run, whether he has a family that protects him or a powerful person who has access to heaven, he will run; And if one doesn't want to run, even if he hesitates for a long time, he won't run! Let's go! County Lieutenant Li, accompany me to inspect Baoshan County, what about the 100,000 Lin Hu army? I don't really think about it yet. After Liu De finished speaking, he took the lead out of the house.

Li Liang looked at Liu De, who was going out, and was still chewing on what he had just said, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart: "General Liu, you are really very human!" ”
