Chapter 24: Liu Kun's Worries
Ran Zhan first killed in the city lord's hall, the lights were still bright, but Liu Cang had already fled, leaving behind some naked women, and the few girls who were taken as victims were also among them, their naked bodies trembled, especially in the face of the various eyes of the countless soldiers who suddenly came, which made them even more full of fear and helplessness, one of them should have just been broken, and the root of his thighs was full of blood, Ran Zhan's heart was also tight, and he waved his hand to let these women all go down, And the fate that awaits these women is nothing more than a reward for this meritorious soldier, and who will think of them after that? Who cares about the girls who are sacrificed for a ploy? What will their future hold, what will their lives hold?
"Report, General Ran, we have searched everywhere, but we have found no trace of Liu Cang." The little sergeant respectfully bowed back to Ran Zhan.
Ran Zhan nodded lightly, without words, and his young face looked very resolute. He has learned to kill since he was a child, and the days of licking blood with a knife are commonplace, and his courage as a pioneer general, coupled with his strong and burly body, easily won the trust and respect of the sergeants. No one will despise him because of his young age, Ran Zhan's knife, in addition to killing enemies, will also kill disobedient people......
Seven or eight days later, the city lord's hall feasted
Liu Kun listened to his sergeants report on the military rations, money and various materials harvested, and his brows tightened, not knowing what he was thinking.
As the hero of the capture of Jinyang, I made an exception and was allowed to participate in this military meeting.
Ran Zhan knelt in the banquet, without a little fatigue on his face.
Ling Husheng and others also arrived one after another last night, including Xu Run.
When Xu Run saw Liu Kun sitting down, he began to flatter the horse, which made me a little embarrassed, but Liu Kun's anxious expression was indeed relieved, and the gushing praise made Liu Kun's neck slowly redden, which was very comfortable to be patted on the back. I really should have learned it by heart......
The more Ling Hu Sheng listened, the more angry he became, and his eyes were about to burst out with murderous aura when he looked at Xu Run.
After listening to Xu Run's heartfelt words, Liu Kun suddenly burst out laughing, and frequently nodded to Xu Run to show his happiness, and the satisfaction on his face was self-evident.
I really admire Xu Run's sycophancy, after all, there is no conflict of interest, and I am listening to this language art with an appreciative mood.
Liu Kun suddenly saw Ling Husheng's old face, and suddenly lost his smile, and said in his heart: This old man is really boring, Liu Kun can only stop smiling and say to Ling Husheng: "Is there any news from Lu Chen?" ”
Linghu Sheng replied: "My lord, Ziliang has been going to Tuoba Yi Lu's camp for many days, and I haven't seen him send troops, and I have received news that Liu Cang is already on his way to Pingyang, I am worried that the Han State will send troops to seize Jinyang, Jinyang is the capital of the state, and it is also the northern gateway of the Han State, there is no reason to let it go." After that, there was also a bit of reproach in the eyes that looked at me, which meant that I was immature and reckless, and what was even more uncomfortable was why my lord listened to a little girl's advice, which was ridiculous!
When Liu Kun heard this, he thought that he had been worried about these two points before, and the reason why he agreed with my suggestion was because this might be the best way at the moment, so Ling Husheng's worries were justified, and Liu Kun didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only look at me.
I know that Ling Husheng is a hard-working, real, and unpretentious person, so I am not unhappy about his dissatisfaction, because his worries are the most practical, and I am also thinking about countermeasures, seeing Liu Kun's inquiring eyes, I smiled mischievously at Liu Kun.
Liu Kun looked at my naughty appearance, and the little worry that had arisen before was reduced a lot, and he shook his head secretly, there is really no way to deal with this little girl.
I ran to Ling Husheng's seat, gently added a glass of wine to the old man, and smiled and grinned, which really made Ling Husheng angry, and could only smile awkwardly.
I saw that the atmosphere had eased, so I followed the example of the adults, and said to Liu Kun: "My lord, the Han side will definitely send people here, but as long as we can hold on for more than ten days, the enemy army will naturally retreat, because I think the Han Kingdom is now in the time of the change of thrones, and they are all planning for their own best interests, and no one wants to let their strength suffer too much loss at this time, the only thing I am worried about is that someone wants to use us as a bargaining chip to deter other Han kings, it will be very bad, but I don't think it will appear, Compared to the extremely low possibility, Jinyang City's material reserves are too tempting, hehe."
Ling Husheng couldn't help but nod when he heard my words, and blurted out: "Then why do you say that Tuoba Yilu has been delaying the dispatch of troops, does he have other purposes?" ”
When Liu Kun heard Ling Husheng say that Tuoba Yilu might have other goals, he first thought of whether Tuoba Yilu would unite with Wang Jun, after all, if there was no Liu Kun in Bingzhou, changing to Wang Jun, who was not familiar with Bingzhou, would only benefit him Tuoba Yilu, and swearing brothers with Hu people has always been the first interest, and the so-called feelings are basically nonsense. Thinking of this, Liu Kun's eyes looked at me again, and the worry in his eyes became thicker and heavier this time.
I said slowly: "Uncle Linghu's guess is reasonable, Tuoba Yilu is not a good type, but if he wants to rebel now, the time is not ripe, his old nest is in Shengle, too far away from us, he only has tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp now, and the daily food supply depends on us, if you want to conspire with Wang Jun and counterattack us, let's not say whether Wang Jun agrees or not, even if he agrees that Wang Jun came from afar where there is too much grain and grass to distribute to Tuoba Yilu, even if there is, why should Wang Jun believe Tuoba Yilu, Wang Jun is good friends with Murong Xianbei and Duan Xianbei, as long as these two are here, even if Tuoba Yilu takes refuge in Wang Jun, it is just the icing on the cake, and helping us is a charcoal in the snow."
When I said this, I immediately ran to add wine to Linghu Sheng, Mr. Linghu Sheng listened to my analysis, and saw that I was so sensible, I couldn't help but feel pity, and there was no longer embarrassment, but I liked my little girl more and more.
Xu Run suddenly shouted: "If I were Tuoba Yilu, I would definitely abide by the covenant and meet Wang Jun!" ”
Ling Husheng became angry as soon as he saw Xu Run's uncertain prophetic appearance, and put down the wine cup and snorted coldly.
I shook my head with a smile, and continued to imitate the tone of the adults and said: "Ming Gong, Wang Jun came with the purpose of seizing the land, and the first thing he harmed was the interests of Tuoba Yilu, and the little girl observed that Tuoba Yilu was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, and it was impossible for Wang Jun to write to the court for him to make him the acting duke, a piece of cake has already been divided by three families, and one more person is going to share it, who wants to do it?" Therefore, Tuoba Yilu will definitely send troops, but Tuoba Yilu is waiting for one thing, so he has not moved."
Xu Run said strangely: "Mingyue, what is the cake?" ”
I knew that I had said the wrong thing, so I could only say haha: "Uncle Xu, don't interrupt, the cake is just a lot of pancakes stacked on top of each other, which looks very tempting, hehehe." I secretly wiped a sweat in my heart, and I must pay attention to the words in the future.
Liu Kun and Ling Husheng, and even Ran Zhan, who had been silent, looked at me curiously.
This made me a little proud, and I walked slowly with the steps of a scholar doctor, and then said: "Just let Linghu Ni - Brother Linghu hold a letter from Ming Gong and a map of Jingbei."
Liu Kun's face was a little unnatural, Mingyue's words were reasonable, but it was really reluctant to hand over such a large amount of land......
Linghu Sheng's heart is also uncomfortable, and he seeks skin with the tiger, although he can solve the needs of the moment, but what about the future...... Suddenly, Ling Husheng saw Xu Run's heartless and self-satisfied appearance, and his anger couldn't help but grow, and Mingyue's good mood of recommending his son Ling Huni to take on this important task was gone.
Xu Run doesn't think so, he thinks that the more he behaves, the more he can appreciate Liu Kun, and he can also prove that he is a celebrity and a gentleman. So he still went his own way, turning a blind eye to Ling Husheng's anger.
I looked at the attitude of the two people in front of me, I really didn't understand Liu Kun's intentions, and suddenly thought that this is the art of employing people? Balance, control, hey, Xu Run has no talent, just a villain who likes him, and there will inevitably be chaos in the future. But where can I manage it, I'm only 4 years old, everyone treats me well, or it depends on my status as a princess...... Otherwise, I'm just a little girl in their eyes.
Liu Kun was not in the mood to care about Xu Run and Ling Husheng, and after thinking about it for a long time, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, and slowly said, "What a big piece of land......"
I can see Liu Kun's reluctance, but we don't have the ability to defend these places, just when I didn't know how to persuade Liu Kun, a person hurriedly walked outside the hall.
"Uncle, it's not good, uncle!" , Liu Yan came in a hurry all the way, and the voice had already come before the person arrived.
Liu Kun frowned, thinking about why this Liu Yan was so uncomposed, but he could only wait for Liu Yan to come to him before asking, "Shiren, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, the sergeant we sent to hunt down Liu Cang has returned, and he has brought back very bad news."
Everyone stared at Liu Yan, waiting for what he would say next.
"They met the army that came to take over Liu Can's garrison, Liu Cang has been picked up by the other party, this army is led by Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu, there are about tens of thousands of people, according to the report of Tanma, its army will probably arrive in Jinyang the day after tomorrow......"
Liu Kun's brows tightened, looked at everyone, and finally spoke: "Linghu Ni listens to orders!" In a while, I will write a letter to Tuoba Yilu, and then give you a map of Jingbei, you quickly go to Tuoba Yilu's camp, and follow Tuoba Yilu with Lu Chen to meet Wang Jun, this is the first time you stand alone, don't let me down! ”
Ling Hu Ni walked quickly in front of Liu Kun, bent down and arched his hand: "No! ”
Ling Hu Sheng's eyes were full of love when he looked at Ling Hu Ni, thinking that this kid used to be a frizzy hairy boy, and now he has also been assigned a heavy responsibility, thinking of this, Ling Hu Sheng's eyes looking at me are also full of gratitude.
I came to Ling Husheng's side again to pour him wine, and then ran to Xu Run's to pour wine, and both sides should be treated well.
I saw that Liu Yan had just sat down and ran to his place to eat something, hehe, Liu Yan was very doting on me, he relied on me for everything, and he didn't stop me from behaving like this, and helped me pick up vegetables.
Everyone saw me so well-behaved, and the previous tension eased a lot.
Next, Liu Kun began to arrange various city defenses, ready to fight an offensive and defensive battle with Shi Hu.
Tuoba Battalion
Tuoba Yilu looked at Tuoba Liuxiu and Tuoba Biyan's hostile gazes, and felt that his head hurt, and it seemed that he was going to separate the two of them......
Tuoba Yulu was also a little unbearable, and said: "Uncle, if you don't set off to meet Wang Jun, I'm worried that we will be very passive."
Lu Chen also looked at Tuoba Yilu anxiously, it had been many days, I didn't know where Wang Jun was, he was in a hurry when he left, and he didn't know what the situation was on Liu Kun's side now. Hey, Tuoba Yilu here is just reluctant to send troops, how good is this!
