Chapter 166: Abandon the Past Suspicions
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu and Liu Ji both completed the military order and captured Deng County and Xiangxiang respectively within three days, the difference is that one of the two is outwitting and the other is attacking. With the fall of Deng County and Xiangxiang one after another, the three counties around Caiyang, only Deng Feng's main attack on Tongling has not yet achieved results, but in fact, Tongling is the closest to Caiyang, and Deng Feng's soldiers and horses are far more than three hundred.
but more than 2,000 people.
It can also be seen from this that Deng Feng is far inferior to Liu Xiu in terms of wisdom and strategy, and far inferior to Liu Ji in terms of force.
It was not until the third day of Liu Xiu and Liu Ji that the situation in Deng County and Xiangxiang County was stabilized, and Deng Fengcai led the army to conquer Tongling and finally took Tongling City.
On the same day, Liu Xiu and Liu Ji also returned to Caiyang and returned to Liu Ji.
The two of them are Cai Yang who arrived before and after, and for Liu Xiu and Liu Ji, the two great heroes, Liu Jiu personally went out of the city to greet them, and also held a grand celebration banquet for the two of them.
Although he won a big victory, Liu Ji's heart was not happy.
He never expected that Liu Xiu would really be able to defeat Deng County in three days, and he would not lose to himself at all. This made him feel that the credit for his achievements seemed to have become less great.
In addition, he felt that he had really underestimated Liu Xiu, an unknown clan brother, before.
Celebration banquet. Liu Xiu looked at Liu Xiu on the left, and then at Liu Ji on the right, and his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Of course, he had a reason to be happy, Ah Xiu conquered Deng County within three days, and his little brother really grew up, and he grew up to be able to take charge of himself
of the generals. As for Liu Ji, he is a rare fierce general, and he also has the ability to take charge of himself. With these two brothers in the army, I can help him share a lot of things in the future.
He was in a happy mood, picked up the wine glass, and laughed: "Ah Xiu, Ah Ji, live up to expectations, return triumphantly, and strengthen the prestige of my pillar Tiandu, this first glass of wine, first salute our heroes!" ”
Hearing this, the participants raised their wine glasses one after another and said in unison: "To General Liu, to Captain Liu!" ”
Liu Xiu and Liu Ji also raised their wine glasses, the former owed a debt to Liu Xiu and everyone present to express their gratitude, while the latter had a calm face, didn't say anything, raised his head, and poured the wine in the cup into his stomach.
Everyone present could see that Liu Ji's face was unhappy, and they all understood where his heart knot was, but it was difficult to say anything. Liu Xiu was able to defeat Deng County as promised, not to mention that Liu Ji didn't expect it, in fact, this was also beyond the expectations of everyone present.
Liu Xiu first smiled at Liu Xiu and asked, "Ah Xiu, you have made meritorious contributions to Deng County, what reward do you want?" ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "It is not my own work to win Deng County, and my personal reward can be waived, but I have a request." ”
The reward or something, it doesn't matter to Liu Xiu.
He is already a partial general, and his official position can no longer be promoted, and if he is promoted again, he will have to replace his eldest brother and become a general. As for money, now Liu Xiu himself has to save money, and Liu Xiu is embarrassed to reach out and ask for it.
Liu Xuan smiled and asked, "Oh? If Ah Xiu has any requests, let's hear it. ”
"General, I hope to retain Wang Chong's position as a county commander, county lieutenant Zhao Ying, with outstanding ability, can be transferred to the army." Liu Xiu said.
Liu Xuan thought about it, smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Ah Xiu, you can just watch and deal with these things, you don't have to report to me again." No more requests? ”
Liu Xiu shook his head. Liu Xuan sighed secretly, this younger brother of his own, he is too considerate, which not only makes people feel heartwarming, but also sometimes distressing. He turned his head to look at Liu Ji again, and asked with a smile: "In this battle of Xiangxiang, Ah Ji performed heroically and had outstanding ability
Killed the county lieutenant and county commander of Xiangxiang, led our army to conquer Xiangxiang in one fell swoop, and made immortal achievements. ”
Regarding Liu Ji's promotion of Liu Ji to a partial general, everyone present naturally had no objections, and with Liu Ji's bravery, he could be promoted to a partial general. Everyone bowed their hands in unison and said, "The general is wise!" ”
Liu Ji stood up, walked out of his seat, knelt down on one knee to Liu Ji, intervened in the salute, and said, "Subordinate General Xie Longen!" ”
Liu Ji smiled and waved his hand, signaling Liu Ji to return to his seat.
He said happily: "Today's report, Yuan Zhiyi also won a big victory in Tongling, and now Deng County, Xiangxiang, and Tongling have all belonged to our department, and our department is in Nanyang, and finally has its own foundation!" ”
Liu Yong said with a smile: "This is the great general's leadership, and the blessing of the sky, and the blessing of the ancestors, the great cause of our army is just around the corner!" ”
Hearing his words, Liu Jiu was even happier and laughed. Liu Yong glanced at Liu Ji and continued: "It's just that my subordinates think that the general is only promoted to the position of general of Chengyu (Liu Ji), which is biased. ”
"Oh?" Liu Xuan looked at Liu Yong puzzled.
Liu Yong said: "Uncle Wen conquered Deng County, it took three days, and Chengyu conquered Xiangxiang Township, it took only two and a half days. ”
Everyone present looked at each other, but no one spoke. People don't have much to say about it. Liu Xiu and Liu Ji both laid down the target city within three days as promised, but Liu Ji's time was half a day less than Liu Xiu's, which is also a fact, it seems that Liu Ji's ability is indeed stronger than Liu Xiu
A little bit.
Liu Xuan's face was still happy, but his heart was extremely unhappy.
His younger brother is not doing well, he can reprimand, but he can't tolerate others to talk about it.
What's more, Liu Yongzheng is picking bones in eggs, to put it bluntly, he is deliberately targeting Ah Xiu and revenge Ah Xiu for severely punishing his son Liu Jin.
Without waiting for Liu Xuan to speak, Deng Chen suddenly burst out laughing.
Liu Yong's face sank, looked at Deng Chen dissatisfied, and asked, "Why is Wei Qing laughing?" ”
Deng Chen said: "I'm laughing at Mr. Liu, who doesn't know right from wrong, regardless of importance. ”
Liu Yong's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he asked, "Why did Wei Qing say this?" ”
Deng Chen ignored him, he first looked at Liu Ji and asked, "General Chengyu, after the battle of Xiangxiang, how many brothers are left in your department?" ”
Liu Ji frowned slightly and said, "Less than two hundred brothers." ”
Deng Chen nodded, looked at Liu Xiu again, and asked, "General Wen, after the battle of Deng County, how many brothers are left in your department." ”
Liu Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Less than two thousand." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present understood what Deng Chen meant.
When Liu Ji fought, the soldiers became fewer and fewer, from the original 300 brothers to less than 200 people, while Liu Xiu fought the war, and the soldiers were more and more fought, from the original 300 brothers, to nearly 2,000 at once.
The ability of the two is judged by high and low.
Liu Yong said unconvinced: "The defenders of Deng County are not strong-willed, and the whole city has defected, which does not show that Uncle Wen is talented!" ”
Deng Chen said with a smile: "Deng County didn't surrender sooner or later, why did you surrender after General Wen arrived in Deng County?" If Mr. Liu thought that Deng County had already surrendered, why didn't you lead the army to receive it in the first place? ”
His words made Liu Yong speechless, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Deng Chen continued: "The first army is to attack and plot, the second is to attack the enemy, and then the city is attacked. A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man is good! ”
The implication is that Liu Xiu uses the upper policy, while Liu Ji uses the lower policy, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Xiu's soldiers will fight more and more, and Liu Ji's soldiers will fight less and less.
After listening to Deng Chen's analysis, everyone present frequently pointed to it, and they all thought that Deng Chen's analysis was reasonable.
Liu Ji frowned, his face became more and more gloomy, he held back for a long time, he stood up suddenly, bowed to Liu Ji, and said: "The general promoted me to be a partial general, I deserve it, and ask the general to take back his life!" ”
Although he has a hot temper, he is not an unreasonable person. It is true that it took him less time to conquer Xiangxiang than it took Liu Xiu to take Deng County, but in the same way, Liu Xiu took Deng County without losing a single soldier, and he also received all the county soldiers and government servants of Deng County, while his own side paid more than 100 brothers
Compared with the casualties, his loss of Xiangxiang was indeed much greater than that of Liu Xiu's loss of Dengxian.
Thinking about this, he had a little admiration for Liu Xiu, and he also felt that he was promoted to a partial general, and he deserved it.
Liu Ji blinked, smiled on his back, waved his hand to Liu Ji, and said, "Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have done so will be punished!" Ah Ji laid down Xiangxiang, it was indeed a great achievement, and he was promoted to a partial general, I don't think anyone would object, right? ”
Everyone present nodded together, including Deng Chen.
Liu Ji won Xiangxiang, it is indeed not as beautiful as Liu Xiu won Deng County, but this does not mean that Liu Ji's ability is problematic, just because Liu Xiu is too good, if he is replaced by others, I am afraid that he is far inferior to Liu Ji!
Liu Ji smiled and said to Liu Ji: "Ah Ji, sit down, you will be the partial general of my Zhutiandu Department in the future, I hope you can make persistent efforts and make miraculous achievements!" Liu Ji gave Liu Ji a deep salute again and said, "General Xie! He returned to his seat, picked up the wine glass, took the initiative to walk in front of Liu Xiu, and said, "Ah Xiu, Brother Ji was offended a lot in the past, and this glass of wine can be regarded as Brother Ji pleading with you!" ”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and drank the wine from his glass. Liu Xiu took the wine glass, stood up, drank the wine in the cup as well, and smiled at Liu Ji: "Brother Ji is serious, they are all his own brothers, what is there to offend!" Brother Ji's bravery, Ah Xiu also deeply admires, if there is a chance to be with Ji in the future
Brother goes out together and gallops on the battlefield, which is the blessing of Axiu! "Liu Xiu has never hated Liu Ji. Liu Ji is short-tempered, self-serving, and not big-minded, and he is also a big mouth, with no obstructions, and there are many shortcomings, but his advantages are equally prominent, and his essence is not bad, no
Hiding his heart, and valuing love and righteousness, outstanding force, bravely crowning the three armies, and he is really with the eldest brother, whether it is public or private, Liu Xiu respects Liu Ji very much.
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Liu Ji smiled, patted Liu Xiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are really getting better and better at talking!" ”
Liu Xiu was slapped by Liu Ji and grinned, feeling that half of his shoulders were sore and swollen, if he didn't know Liu Ji too well, he probably would have to suspect that Liu Ji was innocent of revenge!
Liu Ji picked up the wine jug on Liu Xiu's table, poured a bowl of wine for each of them, and said, "Come, Ah Xiu, you and my brother, have another drink!" ”
"!"
Liu Xiu and Liu Ji slammed their glasses and drank all the wine in their cups. Liu Ji is a person, his temper comes and goes quickly, if he doesn't like anyone, he will immediately show it on his face, and he can't say anything good in his mouth, and if he likes someone, he will immediately show it, hook up with him, and call him a brother
。 He never hides his likes and dislikes, and it is precisely because of his character that he caused a catastrophe for him in the future, and also implicated many people, which had a wide range of effects and far-reaching influences, and even changed the course of history.
