Chapter 486: Responsiveness

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

A few days later, the 100,000 troops led by Liu Xiuqin and the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Xie Gong left Handan and went south to Wei County.

Starting from Handan, more than 20 miles south, you can enter the boundary of Wei County.

Wei County is a large county in Jizhou, the whole county has nearly 20 counties, the place is large, the population is also large, and it borders Hanoi, the climate and environment are similar to Hanoi, and it is a heavy grain producing area.

Wei County, during the Warring States period, it was the State of Wei. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was named the king of Wei, and his territory was Wei County, and Cao Cao set Yecheng, the county capital of Wei County, as the national capital, and the famous Tongquetai was built in Ye City, Wei County.

Cao Wei and Wei State, among which Wei came from Wei County.

When the world was not in turmoil, the people of Wei County lived and worked in peace and contentment, and because of the rich grain production, the people's life could be described as rich.

But after the chaos in the world, Wei County became the hardest hit area. It is precisely because of the wealth of the people that today this rebel army came in to loot once, and tomorrow the rebel army came in again to loot again, causing all kinds of industries in Wei County to be ruined, and the people were not able to make a living.

The people couldn't survive, so they either defected directly to the rebel army, or simply migrated to other places for refuge.

After entering Wei County, looking at the abandoned villages and large abandoned fields, Liu Xiu and Xie Bow were full of emotion in their hearts.

is still the same sentence, as far as their hearts are concerned, Liu Xiu and Xie Gong both hope that the situation in Hebei will be stable and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Further south, they are Liangqi County. Before they arrived in Liang City, they encountered a large number of Liang people first.

Liu Xiu got out of the carriage, raised his eyes and looked forward, and then walked forward. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao hurriedly followed, and reminded in a low voice: "King, be careful of deception!" ”

"No problem." Liu Xiu waved his hand. He parted the crowd of his soldiers, walked out, looked at the large number of people opposite, and asked, "Where are you going?" Why are you so panicked? ”

Liu Xiu did not wear armor and wore a robe, and he looked polite, but the soldiers around him were very polite to him.

A famous person hurriedly said: "This lord, we are all people from Liangqi County, I heard that the Qingcalf Army is coming, and we plan to take refuge in Handan!" After a pause, he cautiously asked, "Where did the Lord come from?" ”

"Handan!" Hearing Liu Xiu's reply, the people were also shocked. Without waiting for people to continue to ask, Liu Xiu said: "You don't have to panic, under Liu Xiu, this time I led the army into Wei County to pacify the thief army. ”

Knowing that the elegant young man in front of him was Liu Xiu, the people present were stunned, but the person who asked the question just now was the first to react, and hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Grass people...... The grass people meet King Xiao! ”

The rest of the people also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The grass people come to see King Xiao!" ”

Liu Xiu stepped forward and helped the people who took the lead in kneeling, and then waved his hand to the others, saying, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

When everyone got up one after another, Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "You don't have to go to Handan anymore, today, our department will exterminate the thieves who come to attack!" ”

Hearing this, the people were all happy and dancing, and some people couldn't help but hug each other and cry. Not to mention that in that backward era at that time, even in modern times, it was still difficult to move out of their hometown with their families and to live in other places

will drag the family to migrate to other places.

Now that I know that King Xiao personally led the army to exterminate the thief army, and he doesn't have to take refuge in Handan, where he is not familiar with life, can people not be happy?

After the excitement, the people knelt down again and said in unison: "King Xiao, please accept me and worship!" ”

"Long live King Xiao!" "Long live King Xiaoβ€”"

It should be said here that in the Han Dynasty, long live was not a special term for the emperor, but a very common blessing language, which everyone can use, such as the old man of which family has a birthday, and the people who come to congratulate can use 'long live' to bless. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that long live became the emperor's special noun, so in the court of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible to hear the ministers chanting together 'Long live my emperor, long live, long live', and there was no salute of three bows and nine bows, and the title of the emperor was not used 'long live'

words.

When Liu Xiu was talking to the people, Xie Gong also rushed over. After learning what was going on, Xie bow's face was ugly, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and said angrily to Liu Xiu: "The thief army is so bold that they have all sacked the Liang period, is their next step to attack Handan directly?" In their eyes, there is still heaven

Son, but there is still a king's law? ”

Seeing that Xie Gong's face turned red with excitement, and he looked like he was going to eat people, Liu Xiu was not as angry as him, and said quietly: "Qingli Jun is taking revenge. ”

Xie bowed and looked at Liu Xiu puzzled.

Liu Xiu said: "The last time we sent troops to Wei County, the Qingcalf Army suffered a lot of losses, this time they wandered into Wei County again, and they became more and more unscrupulous, which is to retaliate for the last time we sent troops to Wei County!" ”

"How can this be true? These thieves should all be cut with a thousand knives! As he spoke, Xie bowed his head and shouted, "General Liu! ”

Liu Qing, the general under his command, stepped forward, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last general!" ”

"General Liu, you lead 10,000 elite soldiers, you must annihilate all the thief troops who invaded the Liang period, and not one will be left!"

"The last general obeys!" Liu Qing agreed, floated on his horse, and went to the main formation to raise troops.

All the generals under Liu Xiu's command looked at him in unison, just waiting for him to give the order to fight. Liu Xiu didn't send troops hastily, he looked at Long Yuan and asked, "Can I have a report?" ”

Long Yuan shook his head and said, "The spies ahead haven't come back yet. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and said to the generals under his command: "Order the whole army to rest in place first." ”

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Now they just heard from the fleeing people of the Liang period that there was a thief army that wanted to attack the Liang period, what was the specific situation, and how many soldiers and horses the thief army had, they still didn't know anything, and Liu Xiu didn't dare or was willing to move troops rashly.

Liu Xiujun rested in place, while Liu Qing led 10,000 soldiers and went straight to Liangqi.

Seeing this, Xie Bow frowned secretly, before sending out the troops, everyone said that they would come to Wei County together to exterminate the thief army, and now they are going to fight with the thief army, why did Liu Xiu not move his troops again?

He walked up to Liu Xiu and said, "King Xiao, the thief army is near Liang Period, and I hope that King Xiao will send troops as soon as possible to destroy the thieves with our department!" ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Did Xie Shangshu receive a report of discovering the thief army?" ”

"Uh...... No reports have been received in this regard. ”

"Xie Shangshu knows how many thieves the army has?" "I don't know." "Who is the leader of the thief army?" "Also...... I don't know. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Now, we don't know anything about the situation of the thief army, how can we rush to war? Wait, wait for the report from the front to come back, and it's not too late to send troops! ”

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but it made Xie Bow's heart very unhappy.

You can have an army of 150,000, what do you have to wait for? Fight directly, even if the thief army has more troops, it is impossible to be the opponent of your own 150,000 army.

He took a deep breath and pondered for a while, but he still didn't argue with Liu Xiu, but just said in his words: "When King Xiao arrived in Wei County, he suddenly became cautious in using his troops!" ”

Liu Xiu's battle left the impression to the world that he was fierce, even if he was outnumbered, he dared to take the lead in charging, and the battle of Kunyang was a clear example.

However, the world misunderstands Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu has always been cautious in wars, and the number of mistakes he has made is only a handful.

Hearing Xie Gong's words, he smiled indifferently, and did not take it to heart, and deliberately found a few elderly people to ask them about the specific situation here in Wei County.

Knowing that one of the old men had land at home, Liu Xiu also exchanged his experience in farming.

Xie bowed to the side, listened for a while, and then couldn't listen anymore, walked to the side, and discussed the next battle with the soldiers under his command.

After more than half an hour, one of Xie Gong's detectives ran back and reported to Xie that he had found the Qingcalf Army near Liang Qi.

Xie bowed and was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the thief army?" ”

"There are more than 3,000 people." The spy replied.

Hearing this, Xie Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the thief army was only about 3,000 people, and Liu Qing led an army of 10,000, and it should be easy to annihilate the thief army.

When Liu Xiuyou heard the spies' reply, he suddenly walked over and asked, "How many thieves are there?" ”

"Uh...... Back to King Xiao, there are more than 3,000 thieves in the army! Now fleeing westward! ”

"Oops!" Liu Xiu snorted and shouted sideways: "Pass the order, the whole army will set off and march to Qinshan in the west of the Liang period!" ”

At this time, Liu Xiu was no longer as relaxed as when chatting with the people, his face was solemn, and he asked Long Yuan to bring over a war horse, and he got on the horse and led the army under his command to march to the southwest.

Xie Gong didn't know what Liu Xiu was nervous about, and he kept urging the soldiers under his command to speed up the march and march at full speed.

In this regard, one of the strategists who bowed to Xie smiled secretly in his heart and whispered to him: "King Xiao knows that the thief army only has about 3,000 people, and he wants to attack with his own side!" ”

Xie Gong didn't say anything, rode a horse, caught up with Liu Xiu, walked side by side with him, and said: "King Xiao is not in a hurry, the thief army is only 3,000 people, General Liu can take it lightly!" ”

Seeing Xie Gong's confident look, Liu Xiu asked curiously: "Xie Shangshu thinks that our army has entered Wei County, does the Qingcalf Army know it?" ”

Xie was stunned, all the thief armies have planted a lot of eyeliner in Handan, this time the transfer of their own 150,000 troops, such a big movement, the thief army should not be unaware.

He said: "The Qingcalf Army should already know, why did King Xiao ask this? Liu Xiu didn't answer Xie Bow's question, and asked again: "Since the Qingli Army has already known that our 150,000 army is heading south and entering Wei County, why did they only send about 3,000 people to attack Liang Period?" Did you send these 3,000 people to death? Let them come to the exhibition

Now the mantis arm as a car? ”

Xie looked at Liu Xiu blankly, and after a while, he suddenly gasped and said in horror: "What does King Xiao mean, the thief army is cheating?" These 3,000 thieves are just bait? ”

Liu Xiu said: "To the west of the Liang period, there is Qin Mountain, the terrain is steep, the forest is like the sea, and it is very easy to set up an ambush!" If the thief army escapes into Qinshan, if General Liu leads his troops to enter rashly, he will be ambushed! ”

Xie Gong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly called a spy and ordered him to hurry up and catch up with Liu Qing, and not to rashly chase the enemy into the mountain. Liu Xiu glanced at Xie and shook his head secretly, reminding him at this time, I'm afraid it's too late. Liu Xiu doesn't care about Liu Qing's life or death, but once Liu Qingbu is annihilated by the Qingcalf Army, this will lead to a great morale boost for the Qingli Army, which will bring huge resistance to his next counterinsurgency.
