Chapter 186: Timing Right
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Tang Qun said: "General Liu, we are back to join you!" ”
"Defect to me?" Liu Xiu looked at him puzzled. Tang Qun Zhengse said: "Although we and other displaced people are shallow, we also understand that General Liu is willing to stay in Chaoyang in order to protect our lives and attract officers and soldiers to retreat. General Liu can treat us and other displaced people so kindly, and we will not hesitate to smear the general's liver and brain
! As he spoke, hundreds of homeless people, led by Tang Qun, knelt on their knees and kowtowed forward.
Liu Xiu dismounted, walked quickly to Tang Qun, held his arm and said, "Hurry up!" So saying, he waved to the others and said, "Get up, everyone!" ”
Tang Qun and the others all knelt on the ground and did not move.
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Do you know that the Zhutiandu Department is an anti-army in the eyes of the imperial court, and it may be encircled and suppressed by officers and soldiers at any time?" "Everyone regards us and other displaced people as mustard, only General Liu, who not only treats us as human beings, but also fights with his life for us
Also willingly! ”
"General Liu, you can accept us!" The homeless people in the back raised their heads one after another and looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes.
Tang Qun Zhengse said: "If General Liu refuses to accept us, we can't afford to kneel down for a long time!" ”
Liu Xiu sighed lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "With your current state, you can't go to the battlefield to fight, you need to undergo training first!" ”
People were about to answer in unison that there was no problem, and Liu Xiu continued: "The training is hard, not everyone can stand it, and if any brother is eliminated at that time, there can be no complaints!" ”
Tang Qun and the others were shocked, and they all said: "General Liu, don't worry, if we fail to pass the drill, we will continue to be homeless people, and we will never pester the general again!" ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" From now on, everyone will be their own brothers, so get up! ”
Tang Qun and the others looked happy and stood up from the ground happily one by one.
The more people at the bottom of the society, the more they know about Entubao, even if they only give them a little benefit, they will be grateful to Dade and remember it in their hearts.
What's more, Liu Xiu was indeed for the safety of the displaced people, so he fought the rising sun and risked his net worth and life.
No one is a fool, whether you are hypocritical, or treat each other with sincerity, the other party will definitely be able to feel something. It is no accident that hundreds of homeless people like Tang Qun are willing to entrust their lives to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu is now the time to employ people, and with the addition of more than 500 homeless people, the number of troops in his hands has increased to nearly 2,000 at once.
He gave the task of training these outcasts to Ma Wu and Choshi.
His own cavalry was trained by Ma Wu and Cho Period, Liu Xiu was very satisfied with the combat power of the cavalry, this time to find a leader for the homeless, Ma Wu and Cho Period were naturally his first choice.
Back to the county office, the county government is like a busy market, there are people inside and out, and you can't enter it from the main gate. The people outside were full of anxiety, stretched their necks, and waited eagerly, while the people who came out of the inside were all smiling, their eyelashes were about to bloom, and they were carrying cloth bags full of food on their shoulders, and their arms were also bulging.
Containing copper coins.
When people saw Liu Xiu, they immediately stopped crowding, first pulled the clothes on their bodies, and then bowed to him respectfully, and said in unison: "General Liu! ”
Liu Xiu's prestige in the hearts of the people is not only based on his real skills, but also on his moral administration. Don't look at Liu Xiu's age, he is only in his twenties, but people respect him in their hearts.
Seeing someone salute himself, Liu Xiu returned the salute one by one, and after a while, he felt that he couldn't go any further, and if he continued like this, it was estimated that he would not be able to enter the gate of the county government until it was dark.
He took Deng Yu and others and deliberately turned around in a big circle, and went around to the back door of the county government before he entered the county office.
That night, Liu Xiu held a funeral at the head of Chaoyang City to cremate the brothers who had died in battle. In the Battle of Chaoyang, Liu Xiu's side was not without casualties, he brought 300 elite troops of the Lingling Army, and in the end there were less than 50 people who survived, and more than 200 death row prisoners who participated in the battle with him, and in the end only a pitiful 30 people remained, and more than 400 brothers spilled their blood
field, bravely sacrificed his life, how could Liu Xiu not hold a funeral for them?
It's just that the timing of this funeral is also important.
If it had been held the night before, I am afraid it would not have had much effect, but tonight, it will be completely different.
During the funeral, most of the people in the city spontaneously walked out of their homes, looking at the fires on the top of the city, and people's eyes involuntarily began to wet red. They know very well in their hearts that the reason why Zheng Da's bullies can be eradicated, and the reason why they can no longer be bullied and live a good life with enough food and drink is all due to the credit of these fallen officers and soldiers of the Chungling Army
I'm afraid I'm still being humiliated by Zheng Da and others!
When people were wiping their tears, the song of the soldiers was faintly heard from the city, which was the military song of the Han army!
"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife, and fight with the son, the road is long. Fight with the enemy, die and live together, fight with the son, and never slack off. Step on Yanran, chase Hu'er, fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”
The people are no strangers to the military songs of the Han army, after all, the Xinmang court has existed for more than ten years, and everything in the Han Dynasty is still vivid.
At this time, they suddenly heard the long-lost military song of the Han army, and many people were sad and couldn't help crying.
How mediocre the Xinmang court is, how nostalgic the people are for the era of the Han Dynasty.
People cried and cried, wiped the tears from their faces, and sang the Han army song with the Chungling army at the head of the city.
The military song was loud, both tragic and majestic, and people sang it over and over again, and the singing became more and more neat.
Originally, it was just the Chung Ling Army singing, but later, it became a chorus of the whole city. This is the essence of Han culture, even if it has been damaged for more than ten years, it can still show super cohesion in this land.
The army and the people are of one mind, and even to the point of integration of the military and the people, Liu Xiu wants this effect. His grasp of the timing also once again showed his strong political ability. The next day, thousands of young people in Chaoyang City poured into the county government, all of whom came to sign up for the Chungling Army. Liu Xiu did not refuse to come, and looked for all the orders, and with the enthusiastic participation of the people of Chaoyang, the number of people under Liu Xiu's command also expanded to three
Thousands.
Just when Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, Yan Guang and others were busy in the county government, dealing with all kinds of government affairs and military affairs, Zang Gong found Liu Xiu, bowed to him, and said: "General, Jun Weng is here to bid you farewell!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately put down the pen and bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, bypassed the table, walked to Zang Palace, and asked, "Jun Weng wants to go back to Xiajiang?" ”
"Exactly!"
Zhu You walked up to Zang Gong, punched him in the shoulder, and said, "Didn't you say okay, in the future, you will follow the lord, and we will go to conquer the world together!" ”
Zang Gong smiled bitterly: "Jun Weng intends to follow the general, but ...... I still have to go back to Xiajiang first and bid farewell to General Wang and General Cheng. ”
This matter has been mentioned by Zang Gong before, and Liu Xiu is not good at blocking it, but he is also very worried that Zang Gong will never go back and miss a talent in vain.
He pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, picked up a small cloth bag from under the table, handed it to Zang Gong, and said: "The road is far away, take care of yourself all the way!" ”
Zang Gong took the package and opened it to see that it contained a few gold ingots, as well as some dragon coins, turtle coins, and coins.
He was stunned for a moment, hurriedly pushed the package back, and said, "No merit, general, this ...... This is too much, please take it back! ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "In the battle to defend the city, the monarch is brave and unstoppable, how can it be said that it is useless?" ”
"That'...... That's just a life-saving grace to repay the general......"
"Between brothers, why do you have to be so clear?" As he spoke, Liu Xiu stuffed the cloth bag into Zang Gong's arms. Zang Gong's heart warmed, his nose was sour, to be honest, even Wang Chang and Cheng Dan had not treated him so well.
He took a deep breath, took two steps back, and then, knelt on his knees, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said: "From now on, Jun Weng only recognizes the general as a lord, as long as Jun Weng still has three inches of qi, he will swear to follow and be loyal to the lord!" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Liu Xiu to come and support him, he kowtowed to Liu Xiu three times in a row. Then, he stood up and strode out. He didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would really be reluctant to leave
Finish.
Zang Gong left more than 20 brothers of the Green Forest Army under his command to Liu Xiu, and he believed that with Liu Xiu's person, he would definitely take care of these brothers. Chaoyang, who left alone, traveled all the way south and went straight to the lower river.
Two days later, Liu Xiu received a letter from his eldest brother Liu Xiu, in which Liu Xiu praised Liu Xiu for his ability to conquer Chaoyang City, and then told him about the battle between Liu Ji and Li Mu.
Li Mu's operation in Huyang was very successful, and he restrained the soldiers of Huyang County to the death, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the task. However, Liu Ji was in a stalemate in Xinye, and he couldn't attack Xinye City for a long time, and the worst thing is that the county army originally stationed in Luyang has begun to retreat and is marching in the direction of the county town.
Aid Shinno.
If this is the case, Liu Ji's situation will be very dangerous.
After reading the eldest brother's letter, Liu Xiu immediately wrote a reply and asked Liu Jiu for instructions on whether he would send troops to aid Liu Ji or send troops to attack Shandu County.
As far as Liu Xiu's original intention is concerned, he prefers to attack Shandu County, after all, the soldiers of Shandu County have been annihilated, as long as they send troops over, they will be captured.
However, judging from the current situation, Liu Ji's side is more critical, sending troops to aid Liu Ji and laying down Xinye can allow his side to take the initiative against the upcoming county army.
At least it can be attacked, and retreat can be defended. Compared with Shandu County, even Huyang's strategic value is much more important than it. Five days after this incident, Liu Xiu received a reply from Liu Xiu, and the content of the letter was only a few words: Ah Xiu can make his own decisions.
