Chapter 128: Into the Thistle

At this time, there was turmoil in all states in the world, and the court of the Yellow Turban at Chuping, in the face of the current situation, was no longer able to send troops to suppress thieves in various places, so it could only order Huangfu Song and others to stop the rebels near Sili.

Just when Emperor Liu Hong was at a loss, Liu Yan, who sat on the post of Zhonglang General by virtue of his fact that he was Liu Yu, the king of Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, stood up.

Liu Yan suggested that Emperor Liu Hong send some honest and honest officials to serve as local governors of prefectures and counties, so as to guard and stabilize the world. He himself also asked the court to be the pastor of Yizhou because Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the spirit of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Liu Hong had lost his attention, so he did not see Liu Yan's ambition, so he accepted Liu Yan's suggestion, changed the assassination history to the state pastor, and stated that the state pastor has the right to endow the political people and control the military and political power of a state, so that the states in the world are equivalent to small kingdoms, and the state pastor as the king has absolute rights to the subordinate states and counties.

As soon as the decree was issued, the state pastors of the states were simply happy, and they all began to recruit troops and horses to expand their strength.

When the news reached Youzhou, Liu Yi and others were on their way to Jixian County, and when they heard the decree of the imperial court, everyone couldn't help but sigh at Emperor Ling's mediocrity.

"Hahaha~ Our emperor is really choking! Unexpectedly let out all the military power! It seems that the world is really going to be chaotic! Zhang Fei rode a horse, walked beside Liu Yi and shouted, as if he was looking forward to the chaos in the world.

When Liu Yi heard this, he looked at Liu Yi with some concern.

"My lord, the chaos in the world may come sooner than we expected, and my lord needs to be cautious!"

When Liu Yi heard this, he turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and showed a confident smile.

"Zhicai rest assured, the so-called muddy waters can touch the fish, when the world is in turmoil, it is the day when we take the opportunity to rise!"

After speaking, Liu Yi raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the location of Jixian County.

"Gongsun Chan is the first stepping stone on my Liu Yi's rise to prominence!"

......

At this time, Gongsun Chan of Wuzhong County has begun to send troops to Jixian County, after Liu Yu learned the news, he sent his subordinates to lead 10,000 people to ambush Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan's troops were many and fine, and after Liu Yu's troops met Gongsun Zhan's army, they were beaten and fled in a few rounds.

After Liu Yu learned that only one-tenth of the army that went to ambush escaped back, he was in a hurry and fell ill on the bed.

At this time, Liu Yu was lying weakly on the bed, and a henchman servant was feeding him medicine.

"When are you coming?" Liu Yu asked weakly after taking a sip of medicine.

The servant carefully wiped off the decoction that overflowed from the corner of Liu Yu's mouth with a cotton cloth, and then replied respectfully, "Back to my lord, the villain has sent someone to summon the adults, presumably the adults will be there in a while!" ”

Liu Yu was about to speak when he heard this, but he couldn't help coughing.

The servant carefully helped Liu Yu to sit up, and then gently patted Liu Yu's back of the heart to smooth his breath.

"Huh~Huh~" Liu Yu, who had eased up a little, sat on the bed and gasped.

At this time, Liu

A respectful announcement came from outside Yu's door.

"My lord, the adults have arrived!"

Liu Yu, who was on the bed, heard this, and hurriedly sat up right with the support of his subordinates.

"Call them in!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of Liu Yu's room was gently pushed open, and more than a dozen state officials outside the door walked into Liu Yu's room in an orderly manner.

"Meet the Governor!" The crowd said respectfully.

"Excuse me!"

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask everyone.

"How's it going out there?"

Hearing this, an assistant official stood up and replied, "Lord Hui, according to the Tanmalai report, Gongsun Zhan's rebels are less than thirty miles away from Jixian County!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yu only felt a pain in his heart and then couldn't help coughing loudly, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check when they saw this, only to see the cotton silk in the hand of the servant who was holding Liu Yu was red.

When the people saw this, they were shocked and hurriedly fell to their knees.

"I also hope that Lord Zhou Mu will guarantee his respect!"

Liu Yu gasped and waved his hand to everyone.

"Get up, I know my body, I can't die for a while!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up with some concern.

"Did the court reply?" Liu Yu asked weakly.

The outspoken man just now was about to open his mouth when he heard the words, but was stopped by others with their eyes.

At this time, the imperial court had no time to deal with Youzhou, and the letter for help that Liu Yu had written to the imperial court was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news.

Everyone looked at Liu Yu's state at this time, and no one dared to answer truthfully.

"Lord Hui, at this time, Lord Liu, the Taishou of Zhuo County, is already on his way here, and he must be able to reach Jixian County in less than three days." An assistant clerk replied cleverly.

Hearing this, the listless Liu Yu finally regained some vitality.

"Good! It's good to have reinforcements! Hurry up and get ready, and when Liu Yi arrives, assist him in suppressing the thief!" ”

"No!" Hearing this, everyone hurriedly retreated, not daring to disturb Liu Yu again.

......

At this time, Liu Yi and others had already fallen through Liangxiang County and were heading towards Guangyang.

Originally, everyone wanted to rest and rectify in Liangxiang County, but remembering that Lu Duyou had died tragically here, everyone didn't dare to stay longer in order not to affect their emotions.

It is said that since the last assassination of Lu Duyou, Liu Yi ordered all counties to strengthen public security, and could not help but increase the number of county soldiers in each county, and also asked each county official to set up 100 government soldiers to protect the personal safety of county officials.

At this time, in Liangxiang County, since the last incident, with the efforts of the county order and the county lieutenant, it can be said that the dog does not bark at night, and the government settles the lawsuit.

After seeing the changes in Liangxiang County, Liu Yi was very relieved and couldn't help but feel better.

After crossing a large river between Liangxiang and Guangyang, they came to the territory of Guangyang.

At this time, because of Gongsun Zan and others, the people in Guangyang County can be said to be panicked, and when they saw the army of Liu Yi and others, they undressed and pushed food to welcome Liu Yi and others as a support army.

After being warmly received by the people of Guangyang, Liu Yi and others

People didn't dare to stay longer, so they only rested for a day, and then went in the direction of Jixian County.

......

It is said that at this time, Gongsun Chan and others have come to a plain twenty miles away from Jixian County.

"General, Tan Malai reported, Liu Yi is leading an army of 20,000 to Jixian!" After receiving the news of Liu Yi's arrival, Tian Kai reported to Gongsun Zhan as soon as possible.

At this time, Gongsun Chan was wearing Rong armor, sitting on a low stone to drink water, hearing this, Gongsun Chan covered the lid of the water bladder in his hand hard.

"Hmph~ It's pretty fast!"

After snorting coldly, Gongsun Chan gave an order to Tian Kai and the others.

"Order the whole army to set off immediately and camp five miles away from Jixian County!"

"Yes!"

......

Another day later, Liu Yi's army finally came to Jixian County, at this time Gongsun Zhan's army was camped five miles outside Jixian County, for the arrival of Liu Yi and others, Gongsun Chan turned a deaf ear and did not want to stop the attack.

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's attitude, although Liu Yi was puzzled, he was too lazy to pay attention to it, after all, it is better to enter the city safely than to have a bloody storm.

After entering the city, Liu Yi first went to visit Liu Yu.

Knowing that Liu Yi was coming, Liu Yu was in a good mood these days, and his body also improved with his mood, and he was already able to get out of bed and walk at this time.

Because it was a special period, Liu Yu did not set up a banquet for Liu Yi and others, but simply set up a few tables in his house to show his welcome and gratitude to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi and others stayed in Jixian County for two days.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan and the others outside the city had no intention of attacking, Liu Yi felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he called Xi Zhicai, Yao Lie and others to his room to discuss matters.

"Si'er, how is the situation in Gongsun Zhan?" Liu Yi asked about Cui Si's situation outside.

Cui Si replied with some atmosphere when he heard this, "Lord, Gongsun Zhan is too difficult to deal with, I sent ten scouts to find out the news, and only one came back alive!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help frowning, no one expected Gongsun Zhan's camp to be so heavily guarded, and a strong sense of vigilance suddenly arose in their hearts.

"This Gongsun Chan is really not a free gift! It seems that we have encountered a strong enemy this time! Liu Yi said trickily.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai on the side hurriedly asked Cui Si, "General Cui, the remaining detective has heard Gongsun Zhan's truth?" ”

Cui Si sighed when he heard this, "Alas~ Except for about forty or fifty thousand soldiers under Gongsun Zhan, I don't know anything else!" ”

Xi Zhicai frowned and thought about it when he heard this.

I heard that there were forty or fifty thousand people in Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Yi was also a little big-headed, but Zhang Fei on the side was a little unimpressed.

"Hey~ Isn't it forty or fifty thousand people! In Zhongqiu before, Zhang Jiao's army had more than 100,000 people, don't we still beat them to the ground? Tens of thousands of people are not a cause for concern! Zhang Fei shouted disapplauded.

Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly scolded: "Yide can't be underestimated, we met before."

How can those rabble be compared to Gongsun Zhan's elite army! ”

Zhang Fei was still a little unconvinced when he heard this, and muttered, "Then what should I do now" After seeing Liu Yi's serious expression, he quickly closed his mouth.

At this time, the drama on the side seemed to have figured out something.

"Lord, we can't wait any longer, we have no help in the future, we can only rely on the current forces to confront Gongsun Zhan, but he is different, the Wuhuan people are afraid that they have already attacked Youzhou at this time, if we can't break Gongsun Chan as soon as possible, I'm afraid that when the Wuhuan people arrive, we will only be beaten!" Xi Zhicai said urgently.

Liu Yi also figured out the joints after thinking about it for a while.

"Yes, we are not here to defend the city this time, but to break the enemy, and it is the best policy to take the initiative to attack!"

After speaking, Liu Yi began to command everyone.

"Yide, Yunchang!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you immediately straighten out your military horses and prepare to go out of the city tomorrow morning to fight!"

"Yes!" Zhang Fei saw Liu Yi give the order to attack, and rubbed his hands happily.

After instructing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Liu Yi turned his head to look at Yao Lie on the side.

"Yao Lie, you and I will lead the poisonous scorpion to pick up Yide and them in the back!"

"Order!"

......

Just when Liu Yi was dispatching troops on his side, in Gongsun Zhan's camp, 50,000 soldiers had already lined up in formation.

"General, are you really going? Why don't you wait for news from General Zou? In the big tent of the Chinese army, Guan Jing is trying his best to dissuade Gongsun Zhan.

With the help of the soldiers, Gongsun Zhan, who was wearing armor on his body, heard Guan Jing's words, laughed twice, and said with extreme confidence: "What are you afraid of!" I didn't really go to play with Liu Yi's family, but I just came, how can I see the ability of this Lord Liu, otherwise when Zou Dan and Qiu Liju come over, I'm afraid I won't have that chance! ”

Guan Jing thought about it when he heard this, and felt that it was also, after all, the 50,000 soldiers under Gongsun Zhan were all elite soldiers who had been gathered from all over the country for many years, and even if they were defeated at that time, it would not be a problem for everyone to retreat, thinking of this, Guan Jing would not say more.

......

At noon that day, after Liu Yi and the others had lunch, they were sitting together studying the matter of tomorrow's troops, when suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran over.

"Report to the lord, Gongsun Zhan's army has attacked Jixian County!" The soldier fell to his knees and screamed.

Hearing this, Liu Yi, who was discussing tactics with everyone, put down the map in his hand, raised his head and said suspiciously, "Huh? Gongsun Chan actually took the initiative to attack? ”

Xi Zhicai on the side heard the words and thought about it, and then said to Liu Yi: "Lord, I often hear that Gongsun Zan is a person and his conceit, I am afraid that I came here to test the strength of my lord!" ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he felt that what Xi Zhicai said was reasonable, so he sneered twice and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also thinking about seeing his ability!" ”
