Chapter 70 Liu Shi sent food and bravely beheaded the thief

As soon as Huaiyang's grain arrived in Danshui, Liu Shi arranged for Gao Shun and Cao Xing to sit in Shangluo, and he led Dian Wei and others to respond. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info all the way to Chang'an.

Looking at the boundless military tent, he was extremely shocked, and Dian Wei said: "I heard that the imperial court of the kingdom has transferred 40,000 troops this time. ”

Liu Shi sighed: "How much grain and grass is this, we are in Shangluo County, and we are worried about raising more than 2,000 battalion soldiers. ”

Dian Wei said: "I heard that the court sent 100,000 soldiers here to block Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu the year before last. At that time, most of the grain and grass were transferred from Luoyang. There is a lot of traffic along the way. However, last year, there was a severe drought in Jizhou and Yanzhou, and the court transferred grain from Jingzhou and Huaiyang. In just these three months, 400,000 stones have been transferred. ”

Liu Shidao: "In recent years, the continuous war in Chang'an has greatly affected the grain cultivation in Guanzhong, and the people are miserable, and many people have fled to Hanzhong. Naturally, this food needs to be transferred from outside. ”

Liu Shi sighed: "What's wrong with this Great Han Dynasty? ”

The group was silent. Liu Shi went through the grain delivery procedures, and then took the post to meet Huangfu Song.

When receiving the invitation, Liu Shi came to the big tent with the heralds, and saw that behind a table in the big tent, there was a man in his fifties, dressed in a knurled robe, a silver armor, and a purple jade belt around his waist, and a majestic appearance.

Liu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Disciple Liu Shi pays a visit to his teacher." ”

Huangfu Song smiled and nodded: "How can De Ran personally deliver it this time?" You came at the right time, now our army is preparing for a big battle, there are not enough personnel, I want you to escort grain and grass with the army, I don't know what you think? ”

Liu Shi said happily in his heart: "A month ago, I heard that the teacher was here to supervise the teacher, and the disciple wanted to borrow the grain to come to Jin to see the teacher. But the Shang Luo thieves have not been purified, and the disciples dare not move lightly. Some time ago, the bandits had been eliminated. Therefore, I have come to visit the teacher to see what else the teacher needs the disciples to serve. Since the teacher needs it, the disciples who carry food with the army are also willing. ”

"Well, good! If this battle goes well, I'll take credit for you. But there is no mercy in the military, and if the delivery is delayed, it will be done by military law, do you understand? Huangfu Song said solemnly.

Liu Shidao: "The disciple understands, but I don't know how much food to send and where to send it, it will take a few days." ”

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "Yes, I am in a calm mood and calm in trouble." The specific things will be told to you by Cao Shi and Zhu Bo in the army later, how many people did you bring to send food this time? ”

Liu Shidao: "A thousand battalions." ”

Huangfu Song groaned and said, "There are fewer people, I'll transfer another 2,000 to you!" I hope you don't live up to the expectations that the Son of Heaven expects of you. The front army is ready to go, so go and prepare!. ”

Liu Shi agreed, and then received an arrow and went to the barracks to receive soldiers, grain and grass and guides. Then divide the 3,000 people into two teams, with Dian Wei and himself leading one team each.

It turned out that Huangfu Song did not listen to Dong Table's advice, but guarded the right to support the wind, and after more than two months, the army of the kingdom was really unable to capture Chencang, and the soldiers were tired and tired, and they had to retreat to Liangzhou when they ran out of grain and grass. Huangfu Song saw the fighter plane and immediately commanded the army to chase after him.

Dong Table said: "No! The book of war says: Do not chase after the defeated enemy. Scatter back troops, do not persecute. Now, we are pursuing the kingdom, persecuting the troops that have been scattered, and we are chasing down the defeated enemy. Besieged beasts still struggle, and anxious hornets sting. How much more are there so many? ”

Huangfu Song said: "No! I can't say that, I didn't attack him before, I wanted to avoid his sharpness, and now the kingdom's army is exhausted. We are now attacking a weakened army, not a force that wants to be scattered. The kingdom's army is trying to escape, and there is no fighting spirit. We use the majestic array to attack the army of chaos. It's not called chasing the poor. ”

Dong Table was not convinced, and Huangfu Song had to act alone when he saw this. At this time, Liu Shi arrived with food, so he arranged for Liu Shi to accompany the army to carry grain.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and Huangfu Song led his troops to chase him to Yuzhong. The kingdom was forced to have no choice but to return to the division and fight again.

Huangfu Song took the opportunity to attack, how could the kingdom resist the enemy? Lose a few battles in a row, and fight and go.

On this day, Huangfu Song was chasing after him, Han Sui suddenly killed, Huangfu Song was caught off hand, the formation was chaotic, and the kingdom took the opportunity to return to the division again.

Huangfu Song was in danger for a while, and at this moment, Liu Shi led the army to arrive, and ordered Dian Wei to guard the grain and grass, and led 2,000 soldiers himself, and accidentally killed.

Han Sui thought that he had encountered an ambush and hurriedly dispersed his army.

Liu Shi happened to meet the Ministry of the Kingdom, and chased after him with all his might. This kingdom department was extremely tired, how was it Liu Shi's opponent, and they each fled, and there were veterans in Liu Shi's team who knew the kingdom and hurriedly pointed it out to Liu Shi.

I heard that it was the kingdom in front of him, how could Liu Shi let it go, stared at the kingdom tightly, drew out the Qinghong sword, raised the sword in his hand, and cut the kingdom off the horse, and the rest of the people were also on their backs, dropping their weapons and squatting on the ground.

The Huangfu Song Department, which was originally in turmoil, had to be killed by Liu Shi, scaring away Han Sui, turning the crisis into safety, and killing a big one, so that the troops were withdrawn.

Huangfu Song heard that Liu Shi led the troops to kill, and he was overjoyed. I also heard that Liu Shi had killed the kingdom, the leader of the Xiliang Rebellion, and he was even more ecstatic. praised Liu Shi again and again, and asked for merit.

Huangfu Song saw that the kingdom was dead, and Han Sui fled, and no longer pursued, and returned to Chang'an, waiting for the will of the Hou court.

Liu Shi also said goodbye to Huangfu Song and returned to Shangluo.

According to the meaning of Emperor Liu Hong, now that the thieves of Wuguan Dao have been leveled, he should be the marquis of Zhuo County, and the Liu family of Zhuo County Liu Zhuang should be included in the royal family genealogy. But where is the fief, how many vassals are there, and some of the courtiers are arguing.

At this moment, the emergency recital of the general Huang Fu Song was transmitted again. Hearing that the imperial army had won a great victory, the kingdom was dead, and the kingdom was still killed by Liu Shi. This made the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee shocked, this is a great achievement, or a great achievement in counterinsurgency, and it cannot be appreciated.

It stands to reason that such a great achievement is not an exaggeration to seal a county marquis.

At this time, Sikong Yuan came forward and said: "Liu Shi should be crowned a marquis for this great achievement, but this Liu Shi is so young, and the county marquis is too high. The pavilion is too low, it is better to add up the two merits, and it is better to be named a township, with 2,000 households. Please Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Liu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "I said at the beginning that Liu Shiru would exterminate the bandits on Wuguan Road within two years and restore his ancestral name, and now he will be crowned Zhuo County-----。 The words did not fall.

Situ Yuan Huai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Now in the land of Sanfu, since Wang Mang's chaos and the scourge of red eyebrows, there is no Liu fiefdom. In Xiliang, the people's hearts are not ancient, they are dissatisfied with the court, and rebellions often occur. When the clan guards the borderlands. Now that Liu Shi is a relative of His Majesty, he should share his worries for His Majesty and spread the emperor's prestige to the four seas. Therefore, Liu Shi should migrate to the land of Sanfu to spread benevolence for His Majesty, educate the border people, and defend the frontier. ”

As soon as the words fell, several more ministers chimed in.

When Liu Hong saw it, he had to change his words and say: "In this case, where should the three assistants be sealed with the will of everyone?" ”

At this time, Sikong Yuan Pan stepped forward and said: "The land of Sanfu, although Chang'an City is large, as the imperial capital of Gaozu Shi, and now Xijing, it is obviously not suitable for Liu Shi's fief. Right Fufeng, left Feng Xiang is too close to the border, but Jingzhaoyi's Lantian County is still suitable, but this blue field is close to the Qinling Mountains, mountainous, river, plateau and river valley, a few years ago there was a flood peak, earthquake, the entire Guanzhong place was affected, thousands of houses collapsed, nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured, half of which was Lantian, plus in recent years, Sanfu suffered from the burden of military disasters. The people are even more unbearable, many flee to Hanzhong, sparsely populated, if you can move some Liu clan relatives here, invest more in the dredging of the river, and relocate some people, you can also alleviate the pain of some material transfer. It's a beautiful thing. ”

Zhou Mi, the waiter, also stepped forward and said: "Lantian is close to Chang'an, but the migration of Lantian should not be sealed and the people should compete for profit." Therefore, it is better to be enclosed in the mountains, and in the borderless land. ”

Seeing this, Liu Hong asked, "Is there such a place in Lantian?" ”

Situ Yuan replied: "Yes, after the Bailu Plateau, the southwest of Lantian is fifty miles, belongs to the south of the Qinling Mountains, belongs to the junction of Sichuan, Plateau and Mountain, and there are about 1,000 households at the mouth, Emperor Xiaowu had built Dinghu Palace here, and then it was abolished, it is not bad to be close to the mountains and rivers, but the number of households in this food town is not enough. ”

At this time, Zhang Rang, a waiter standing aside, said: "Although this place is good, it is mostly mountains and forests, dry land, few fertile fields, and the land is barren. ”

Emperor Liu Hong asked Yuan Peng suspiciously: "This place is so barren, how can it be enough for Liu Shi to eat, you can't lose my royal face!" ”

Yuan replied: "Although the land here is barren, it is better than a lot of land, as long as you are willing to cultivate, it is enough to feed 3,000 households, and you rely on water, as long as you work hard, you may not be able to live." And this place is close to Chang'an. It is a royal garden, since Wang Mang's rebellion, it has been abandoned now, it is a pity, if Liu Shi can divide this place, and then gather some manpower, do not lose two birds with one stone. ”

"Good! In that case, let's move to this place! In addition, the traitors in Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Xiliang have not been eliminated, and the safety of Wuguan Road is very important, so Liu Shi will be given the title of Lantian Township, three townships of Shiyi, three thousand households, and the commander of Wuguan Dao and Shangluo County! The food is more than 2,000 stones, and there is no need to discuss it again, and Zuo Feng of the small yellow door went to pass the edict. Emperor Liu Hongdao.

The ministers said, "Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty is tired!" If you have something to play, you have nothing to do! ”
