Chapter 67 Shepherd and Fortify Cheng 2 Zhongfu
Liu Shi came to the top of the Qinling Mountains, the place where Wuguan Road must be taken, and the herding and protecting the mountains. www.biquge.info There used to be one or two hundred people living in this place, and because the bandits lived in this vicinity, they fled to him, and some simply joined the gang. However, the terrain is extremely heavy, connecting Lantian and Shangluo.
In order to unblock the Wuguan Road, a fort must be set up here, which can not only deter some escaped thieves, but also provide accommodation for past business travelers.
"Shi Quan! You take a hundred people to set up a fort here, usually detect and attack the small group of bandits along the line of Wuguan Road, protect the safety of past business travelers, notify us in time when you find a large group of bandits, and cooperate with us to eliminate the bandits.
If there are no bandits, a part of them can be divided into this tuntian to provide food and accommodation for business travelers. The terrain here is good, and in the future, some people will be moved here to make sure that you can get food on the spot. Liu Shi looked into the distance, and it was Chang'an.
"Captain! I want to follow you out of the thief. Shi Quandao.
Liu Shi retracted his gaze and looked at Shi Quandao: "This place is the first pass for Chang'an to enter Shangluo, and it is also the most dangerous level. Now Chang'an is not quiet, the Xiliang rebels are attacking Chang'an, once Chang'an is in danger, the Xiliang rebels can go out of Wuguan, go to the east of the river, or out of the Hangu to take Luoyang. Your shepherd's fort has become a shepherd's gate. Don't be careless, and scout the terrain in the vicinity in detail, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy when the time comes. β
As he was talking, a guard hurried over and said, "The Lord has a letter." β
Liu Shi took the letter and read it, smiled coldly, and then said to Shi Quan: "You and Lanqiao Liu Cheng should cooperate well, plan to move in the direction of Chang'an, pay attention to the part of the thieves who have escaped, and don't let them gather again to harass the people and past business travelers." Notify me of something in a timely manner. After speaking, Shi Quan was left with a team of 100 people, and galloped towards Shang Yu with men and horses.
Three days later, the front village of Wanglingzhai where Huangpi was located was fiercely attacked by Liu Shi, and the four masters who stayed in Wanglingzhai hurriedly sent someone to report to Cheng Er.
After receiving the letter, Cheng Er threw the letter in his hand to the ground, and said hatefully: "It's all waste, and I can't capture a Shang City in five days." That kid from the Li family is too, he can't even do a good job of internal response, and dozens of key servants can't even take down a city gate. β
He glanced at Shang Yucheng again and said, "Go back!" β
It turned out that this Cheng Er was actually surnamed Zhu, and he was the second son of the Zhu family, and he changed his name to Cheng Er after becoming a thief. The second son of the Zhu family, the siege of Liu Shi failed, and most of the men and horses he brought with him were lost in Zhujiabao. His father, brother, mother, and brother were also killed by Liu Shi, and only a few people fled back to Wanglingzhai.
For a while, Liu Shi hated his teeth and couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw. Several times he asked to attack all parts of Shangluo, so that Liu Shi was not at peace. Huang Pi didn't allow it, he was worried that Liu Shi would find him to fight for it. In this way, his little life will not be easy.
Cheng Er was helpless, ten days ago, when he heard a report from the inside of Shang Luocheng, Liu Shi led a battalion to Phoenix Mountain. Even the cavalry that scared Cheng Er the most left. This time, Cheng Er began to think about it, and he didn't persuade Huangpi, but just looked for Huangpi to drink.
On the third day, Huangpi suddenly drank too much and died, Cheng Er successfully took over the cottage, although the three leaders were brought by Huangpi, their interests were similar to Cheng Er's, and they had already fought together. There is no disagreement for Cheng Er to take over as the big leader.
Cheng Er said to several leaders in the cottage: "Now that Liu Shi has gone to Phoenix Mountain, it will take at least half a month to return, and it is difficult to say whether he can capture Phoenix Mountain, even if he captures it, it will be a defeat for both sides." All the grain and grass in this Shangluo County are in Shangluo City, as long as we master Shangluo City, Liu Shi has no food to eat, and his soldiers will be scattered. Unless he went to rob the Jiang family or the Li family, he wouldn't dare to come.
If we occupy Shangluo City, it will be convenient to eat and drink, and it will be better to live in this poor mountain. As long as the city of Shang is captured, the women in it are for everyone to play, and the gold and silver are for everyone to take. "The chiefs scrambled to go. In the end, under Cheng Er's coercion, he agreed to bring back a few women for him, so that the former four leaders and the current three leaders had to stay in the cottage.
This Cheng Er led the troops back to Wangling Village, but he saw that it was too late halfway to the road, and he didn't dare to leave in a hurry, fearing that Liu Shi would be ambushed halfway. He knew that there were more than a dozen defensive lines in Wangling Village, and it was not so easy to capture the main village. Patiently stayed for one night.
The next day, when we set off at dawn, we came to a three-way junction, and saw that there was no movement on one side, and there were birds flying in the air without falling.
One of his subordinates said, "Big boss! There may be an ambush ahead. β
Cheng Er snorted and said, "I naturally know." Fiction is reality, let's go from this side. So saying, he beat the horse and ran in the direction where the bird had flew.
Just halfway through, a few arrows rang out, "Oops! A few screams.
Cheng Er shouted: "In an ambush, everyone rushes forward together!" "Let's go ahead first.
This Cheng Er was also a ranger before, and he was extremely brave. Under his leadership, the bandits also ran forward with shouts, and the whole bandits were in chaos.
"Cheng Er! Where to run? Liu Shi is here. After that, a group of people and horses appeared at the intersection, and saw Liu Shi sitting on horseback with a spear in his hand.
Then he glanced at the bandit and said loudly, "Lay down your weapons and spare you from death!" Those who resist will not be spared. "There was silence just now, and the bandits were still noisy.
Cheng Eryi said angrily when he saw it: "Liu Shi! You have taken my wealth, and you have killed my father, brother, mother, and brother, and you have taken your life. β
Then he said to the thieves, "Don't listen to his nonsense! After Liu Thief deceived everyone, he made cattle and horses for him all day long, and he could only eat half full, and he had to be whipped if he was not satisfied. As long as we work together, Liu Shi's people can't stop us. Everyone! β
As soon as Cheng Er's words fell, someone in the crowd shouted: "The day before yesterday, I met a person who was arrested by Liu Shi in the old village and said that his wife in his village went to see him, but his wife was killed by the guards?" Come on! There are so many of us that they can't stop us. The bandits, who had just been quiet, quarreled again and rushed forward.
At this time, someone in Liu Shi's team shouted: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, I am Zhang San in the village, I was arrested in Zhujiabao a few months ago, and Liu County's order is very good to us!" As long as you work hard, can you eat enough? Then the bandit was quiet again.
Cheng Er looked at it and said angrily: "Liu Shi! Let's have a fight, do you dare? β
Liu Shi smiled coldly and said, "Let the horse come." β
Cheng Er took the horse with his knife, stepped off the horse and ran towards Liu Shi with a neigh, Cheng Er danced the big knife and slashed towards Liu Shi, and a cold wind came to his face.
Liu Shi didn't move, and when the big knife was approaching, the spear was picked up, the tip of the spear shrank, and then sent, and when the chest stabbed at Cheng Er, it was as fast as electricity.
Cheng Er was startled and hid down. Liu Shi raised the spear and turned around and threw it at the horse, Cheng Er hurriedly jumped off the horse, Liu Shi took the horse with him, the side of the spear, and the middle of Cheng Er's chest.
Cheng Eryuan opened his eyes wide, glanced at Liu Shi and fell down. This move was extremely fast, and all the thieves saw it in their eyes and were shocked in their hearts.
Liu Shi said coldly: "Put down your weapons and spare you from dying." β
When the leaders saw that the situation was not right, they turned their horses and ran back, and with a few more swishing sounds, several people planted their horses on the spot. When the rest saw this, they laid down their weapons and crawled on the ground.
Liu Shi saw a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass brought by the bandits on the return journey, and when he asked, he realized that when Cheng Er came, he broke through several township forts, shook his head and sighed, "This Cheng Er died unjustly." β
Liu Shi came to the cottage to check carefully, sure enough, it was a dangerous mountain, two yellow mountain beams closed in this place, forming a natural mountain gate, and a walled wall was built in front of the door, which was really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Xiangwanggou, also called the ancient city of Wangling, four hundred years ago, Gaozu had the help of Wang Ling, and Wang Ling was stationed here to lead the troops, control Nanyang, out of the blue pass, help Gaozu to win the world, and establish the Han Dynasty that has been peaceful for hundreds of years.
This time, Liu Shi did not attack, but sent people to take a detour to the back of the cottage under the leadership of the captured bandits, and went straight to the main village. Seeing that the general trend was gone, the three leaders who stayed behind wanted to sneak away with a few henchmen, but they were beheaded by Shi Lian.
Breaking through Xiangwang Village, Liu Shi was dumbfounded when he looked at more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver. "Thisβso much?" This yellow skin was snatched all the way, I don't know how many people were broken, but it was useless to hold gold and silver. After coming to Shangluo, he cooperated with Cheng Er, broke through the county seat, robbed the county government, and intimidated Shangluo County to pay him protection money and pay for food with food. Up to now, there are still tens of thousands of stones of grain in this king's tomb.
Although this yellow skin is born in the yellow scarf, the family used to have a slight yield, after coming to the Wangling Village, while collecting protection fees, while also letting the thieves reclaim a lot of fields around Xiangwanggou, has planted a lot of millet seedlings. After Liu Shi interrogated these thieves carefully, he put away some of the teenagers in the cottage, and in order to comfort these teenagers, he distributed the fields cultivated by Huangpi to the parents of these teenagers, so that they could continue to farm here, and only pay taxes according to the law.
A fire burned Xiangwang Village, and then returned to Shangluo County.
