Chapter 57: Convincing the Crowd
People looked at Xia Ruoyan with wide eyes and shook their heads blankly.
Xia Ruoyan's eyes were red, and she choked up and said: "The extra 3,000 heads are all local people in Zhushan, Lian Dan's subordinates almost slaughtered the people of Zhushan, but said that the local people died at the hands of the barbarians, they cut off the heads of the people, and acted as the heads of the barbarians to receive rewards from the imperial court......"
By the end, she was crying silently, and among all these heads, including her parents, her brothers and sisters. "Barbarians deceive me, of course, it is hateful, but Lian Dan is a beast and beast that is inferior to pigs and dogs!"
The people present had never been to Zhushan, let alone experienced the scene at that time, but even listening to Xia Ruoyan's narration was shocking and terrifying.
That's not three, thirty, three hundred, but more than three thousand! More than 3,000 lives!
Liu Xuan clenched his fists, his body trembled involuntarily, he slammed his fist on the table, and a crisp click was heard in the ear chakra, and the small wooden table was shattered in an instant and scattered all over the ground.
His face turned blue with anger, and he waved his hand and said: "Lian Dan is not benevolent, and he treats me like a pig and a dog!" In this battle, whoever likes to fight will fight, I will never fight against the Green Forest Army! ”
Feng Yi patted Liu Xuan's arm to show reassurance.
He is also unwilling to give his life to people like Lian Dan, and he is unwilling to fight with the Green Forest Army, but he still says that this matter is not something they can decide at all, with their current status, no matter how low the eaves are, they have to bow their heads, and they can only obey orders!
He took a deep breath and said meaningfully to Xia Ruoyan: "We are both sympathetic and sad about the experience of the people of Zhushan, but we also have our own difficulties......
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu suddenly asked, "Ruoyan, how many people are in the Zhushan Green Forest Army?" ”
Xia Ruoyan looked at Liu Xiu and didn't understand why he asked. She said in a daze, "There are about a hundred people." ”
Liu Xiu sighed, looked at Liu Xuan and Feng Yi, and said thoughtfully: "The Zhushan Green Forest Army only has about a hundred people, and Lian Dan sent Zhang Ting to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to wipe them out, so why do you want to use our righteous army?" Moreover, he still let the righteous army be the main force and take the lead, and Zhang Tingyi only did the strategy and cooperate with the battle, could it be that Lian Dan thought that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under his command was not as good as that of our righteous army? ”
Everyone looked at each other, after Liu Xiu said this, they pondered it carefully in their hearts, it was really like this, the battle deployed by Lian Dan to exterminate the Zhushan Green Forest Army, the righteous army was completely redundant, and it could even be said that the righteous army was a burden to the cavalry of the Beijing Division.
Without the presence of the rebels, it was easier for the cavalry of the Beijing division to let go of their hands and feet and unfold the charge that the cavalry was best at. With the presence of the rebels, the cavalry will avoid their own people, and it will inevitably be tied.
People just thought that Liu Xiu's words were reasonable, but Feng Yi heard that Liu Xiu was talking and had something outside the strings. He asked, "Uncle Wen, what do you want to say?" ”
Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "Big brother, Brother Gongsun, when you two met Lian Dan, how did you feel his impression of the two of you?" ”
Liu Xuan and Feng Yi glanced at each other inexplicably, what was their impression? It feels like that, Lian Dan is arrogant and conceited, his eyes are too high, how can he look at them as unruly rebels?
Feng Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel good. ”
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said faintly: "If this is the case, then Lian Dan's purpose of sending Zhang Ting is not simple. ”
Feng Yi's heart moved, and he asked, "What did Uncle Wen say about this?" ”
Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "In the battle to defend the county seat of Hanzhong, the eldest brother and the grandson brother have made great contributions, and the people of the whole city have seen this, and no one can erase it." If Lian Dan has a bad impression of the eldest brother and the grandson brother, he will naturally not let the two of you embark on a career in office, then the best way is to get rid of the two of you and all the rebels before the court promulgates the reward. ”
Yes? Everyone present gasped, looked shocked, and looked at Liu Xiu blankly.
Liu Xiu said: "In this way, it also explains why Lian Dan sent the righteous army, a burden, to exterminate the Zhushan Green Forest Army with the Jingshi cavalry, and let the righteous army take the lead!" When the Righteous Army and the Zhushan Green Forest Army fought together, if Zhang Tingyi took advantage of the chaos and launched a cavalry charge regardless of the enemy, the consequences would ...... It can well be imagined. ”
Under the spear, all beings are equal. Trampled by the cavalry, where can there be any living people left, even if they do not die under the spears and sabers, they must be trampled into flesh by the hooves of the war horses.
Liu Xiu's words made everyone present rise from the soles of their feet at the same time, which instantly spread to the whole body and rushed straight to the brain.
Li Yi's face turned pale and stammered, "We...... We are merit to the county, incorruptible...... Lian Dan won't do this to us, right? ”
"With the cruelty of Elitan, what else can't he do? The rebels are the heroes who defend against the barbarians and defend the county town of Hanzhong, even if Lian Dan wants to get rid of us, it is difficult to find a suitable reason, if we are killed in the battle to exterminate the Green Forest Army, there is no more suitable and justified reason. ”
Liu Xiu came to the latter series of inferences through Lian Dan's strange move of sending the righteous army to exterminate the Zhushan Green Forest Army, as for whether his inferences were right or wrong, he himself did not know, but his words made the hearts of everyone present bottomless.
Even Feng Yi, who had repeatedly said that they had no choice but to follow Lian Dan's orders, lowered his head at this time and remained silent. Liu Xiu's words are very alarmist, but it does not mean that there is no such possibility at all.
"Haha--" Liu Xuan, who was already extremely angry, suddenly laughed, laughed for a while, he restrained his laughter, and said word by word: "Lian Dan old thief, don't want to wait for me to live, I'll fight with him!" ”
"Big brother!"
"Brother Bosheng!"
Liu Xiu and the others hurriedly pulled the angry Liu Xiu back. Feng Yi looked at Liu Xuan with a frown, and said urgently: "Brother Bosheng, isn't it the same as sending you to death if you go to Lian Dan now?" ”
After a pause, he looked at Liu Xiu again, and said in a heavy tone: "Even if Lian Dan has a bad plot and wants to kill me, what can we do?" ”
Liu Xiu's eyes rolled and said, "There is only one way to break Lian Dan's trick!" ”
Everyone's hearts moved, and Liu Xuan asked, "Ah Xiu, what good can you do?" ”
"If the Green Forest Army is not in Zhushan, we have pounced in the past, and there is no battle to fight, and Lian Dan's plan to kill people with a knife will be solved." Liu Xiu Zhengse said.
Feng Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, but soon dimmed again, and said: "If we follow Uncle Wen's method, we have to send people to Zhushan first, find the Green Forest Army, and advise them to evacuate quickly, but Zhushan is so big, where will the people we send to find them?" Even if they are lucky enough to find it, they may not listen to us! ”
Liu Xiu smiled, turned his head to look at Xia Ruoyan beside him, and said, "Did Brother Gongsun let Ruoyan go?" Miss Ruoyan is from the Zhushan Green Forest Army, as long as Miss Ruoyan can rush back one step ahead of us, she will definitely be able to persuade the Green Forest Army in Zhushan to retreat! ”
Xia Ruoyan immediately nodded, and said, "As long as I can rush to Zhushan first, I can definitely persuade Brother Ma to move to a hidden place with his brothers!" ”
Liu Xuan blinked, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is a good strategy!" As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yi and asked, "Brother Gongsun, what do you think of Ah Xiu's method?" ”
Feng Yi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that we need a fast horse now!" ”
Obviously, he also agreed with Liu Xiu's idea.
If they were somewhere else, it would be too difficult to get a fast horse, but it would not be difficult to get a fast horse in Hanzhong County, and the Ye family would naturally help them solve this problem.
Afterwards, Liu Xuan sent Zhu Yun to the Ye family and asked the Ye family to donate a war horse for the righteous army.
At that time, Zhu Yun's mouth couldn't close.
Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu and others discussed for a long time, and the plan was completely finalized, and everyone's discussion came to an end.
At this time, it was already dark, and Liu Xuan said to everyone: "It's not early, everyone go back and rest early!" ”
Everyone got up one after another and said goodbye to Liu Jiu. Liu Xiu also specially told Liu Xiu to arrange a safe and secure place for Xia Ruoyan. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, I'll deal with it!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Xiu nodded, patted Liu Xiu's shoulder with a smile, and sent him out of the room.
After sending Liu Xiu and his party away, he looked at Zhang Ping on the side and asked, "Jingzhi, do you feel that Ah Xiu seems to have become different from before?" ”
In Liu Xuan's mind, although the younger brother is not as honest as the second brother, he is also a very responsible person, but the current younger brother is shrewd like an old fox who has cultivated into a fine spirit, and his skills have also become very good.
Think about it carefully, since joining the righteous army and coming to Yizhou, the little brother is completely reborn and changed as if he has changed as a person, sometimes Liu Jiu can't help but secretly wonder in his heart, is the little brother in front of him really still his little brother?
What Liu Xiu didn't know was that since Liu Xiu took the gold liquid, the whole person had indeed been reborn, not only had his body become much stronger than before, but even his mind had become more intelligent and sensitive than before.
Looking at Liu Xiu, who was worried, Zhang Ping smiled rarely, and said: "Ah Xiu has never been an idle person!" ”
Zhang Ping doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, but he is definitely a careful person and can notice many details that are often overlooked.
Take Liu Xiu often going to the market to inquire about the world's affairs, even Liu Xiu doesn't know, but Zhang Ping knows it very well.
It can also be seen from this small incident that Liu Xiuke does not plan to stay in the small village of Chungling for the rest of his life and be an ordinary farmer, but has great ambitions and is full of ideas and ambitions for the future.
It's just that Liu Xiu is a very calm person, maybe his city is very deep, he has never shown his thoughts to anyone, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to show his strength.
And this trip to Yizhou just gave Liu Xiu room to play.
Liu Xiu was able to make a splash in Yizhou, where there was a shortage of soldiers, and Zhang Ping was not surprised at all.
What kind of person Zhang Ping is, Liu Zhuo naturally knows very well, after hearing his evaluation of his younger brother, Liu Zhuo smiled bitterly, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "I'm the eldest brother, I'm afraid it's far from knowing my own brother as well as respecting you!" ”
"Brother Bosheng is ambitious! It is natural to ignore some small things in the family. Zhang Ping said with a smile.
