Chapter 21: Tiger Idiot

When Sun Quan's troops retreated to Jiangnan, Liu Tong followed behind him with 10,000 cavalry, which was Liu Kuan's request to supervise Sun Quan's withdrawal according to the agreement, which could be regarded as seeing him off. Liu Tong saw the extremely spectacular scene of thousands of sails fighting for the crossing by the Yangtze River from afar, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

Liu informed that the northern navy was almost negligible, and the reason why Liu Kuan did not fight Jiangdong was still subject to the navy. It can be expected that in the next many years, the north can only be on the defensive, and if it wants to fight across the river, it must build a strong naval army.

Although Liu Tong did not participate in the planning of the Military Aircraft Department, Liu Tong, based on the historical knowledge of later generations, also knew that Liu Kuan's strategy after that should still be in the north, and must be after consolidating the northeast and grassland, and capture Liangzhou and northern Jingzhou.

Liu Tong hated Sun Quan so much, thinking that he had chased him so embarrassed, he couldn't get angry. Sun Quan, wait, Ye will clean you up one day.

Seeing that Sun Quan's troops slowly crossed the river, Liu Tong was bored and ordered the deputy general to return to the camp with the troops, and Liu informed that Zhang Liao would come to the riverside to set up defenses soon.

Liu Tong appointed Zhang Liao as the general of Yuzhou, in fact, the main thing was to ask him to defend Sun Quan. Historically, Zhang Liao also dealt with Sun Quan near Hefei for a long time.

Liu Tong took Hongli, Chen Dao, Wu Ji, Han Zong, and Lou Ban, together with five hundred guards, and walked west along the river.

I saw the rolling river coming from the southwest, rushing and mighty, under the endless blue sky, it seemed magnificent, and the continuous hills and rock walls on both sides of the bank connected the broader fields, grasses and rivers, and people couldn't help but admire the rivers and mountains so much.

Everyone slowly followed behind Liu Tong, and they couldn't bear to break the silence in the noise. "The river comes from the southwest, and it is vast. The long waves are like pouring down, and even the mountains are chiseled like splits. Liu Tong couldn't help but chant.

Chen Zhi and Han Zong are also quite knowledgeable people, listening to their ears, their mood is stirring, this is the first time they have heard Liu Tong reciting poetry, originally thought that Liu Tong was just brave and resolute, after all, his "great achievements" are widely circulated, I never thought that his literary attainments are so high, and the poems he chanted are so appropriate to the current scenery!

Wu Ji, Lou Ban, Red Carp and others all feel good as long as Liu Tong recites, but they just admire it inexplicably in their hearts, as for what is good, they don't know, anyway, they are not literati, and only people like Liu Tong are worthy of reciting such sentences.

"Good poetry!"

Suddenly, Wu Ji shouted, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery and was taken aback.

"Idiot, you also know poetry? Tell me what's good? ”

After all, Liu Tong hadn't seen Wu Ji for more than two years, thinking that he had made great progress in his studies over the years, but he was a little surprised.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Wu Ji's black face suddenly turned red, scratched his head and said: "Gongzi's recitation must be a good poem!" He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Tong again.

Liu Tong knew in his heart that this was a sycophant. Liu Tong is also a little proud, now thinking about it, Liu Zhen and his wife are both top students in the liberal arts, they were urged to recite hundreds of poems when they were in elementary school, after crossing, Zhang and Niang let themselves recite the poems and songs written by Liu Kuan from memory, which has indeed greatly improved their literary literacy, and these poems of later generations can indeed make themselves occasionally pretend to be B, although Liu Kuan forbids himself to do so.

But it doesn't hurt to recite it occasionally, I'm not plagiarizing, and I don't publish it, Liu Kuan shouldn't object, Liu Tong was shrouded in the admiring eyes of everyone, and he was complacent.

At this moment, among the scouts scattered on all sides, two horsemen came back from the west and were rushing towards him. Liu Tong stopped his horse, and more than five hundred horsemen behind him suddenly stopped, Liu Tong was very satisfied, the guards were indeed well-trained.

"Master Hou, a team of men and horses came to the west, there were about two thousand people, after crossing the small mountain pass, more than a thousand of them left, and the remaining team of men and horses were coming over this side, and the small ones saw that there were five or six hundred people, half of the cavalry, half of the foot soldiers, and a few carriages!" Two scouts dismounted, one of them on one knee, and one of them reported.

"What flag?" Chen Zhi asked.

"The flags are different, the returning troops are playing the military flag of Jingzhou, the flag of this team is small, and the word 'Xu' is written on the flag."

"Oh?" Liu Tong felt strange, how could this team of soldiers and horses come in the direction of Luzhou? The returning troops seemed to be seeing them off, and the Jingzhou troops obviously saw that they had entered the territory of Luzhou, so they returned, who were they sending? It should be from Luzhou. Sun Quan only withdrew from Luzhou today, the information in this era is not smooth, and the people who came should think that Luzhou is still in the hands of Sun Quan, and it seems that most of the people who come are friends and enemies.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong couldn't help but be happy, this time he came to Luzhou, before the battle was fought, Sun Quan left, and the evil anger in his heart had not yet come out. Since he is Sun Quan's person, him!

Liu Tong looked at the surrounding environment, there are fewer mountains and more flat land in this area, which is conducive to his cavalry charge, but it is not easy to hide, there are two or three hills two miles away to the north, to put it bluntly, it is a few larger mounds of earth and stones full of grass and trees, fortunately, there are not many people with him, and he should be able to hide.

Liu Tong waved his hand and ran towards the easternmost hill, and everyone followed, Liu Tong led the men and horses around to the northeast of the hill.

Because there was no preparation in advance, more than 500 cavalry, the people were easy to handle, but the neighing of the horses was not easy to deal with. The mountain is blocked, but it is not an ambush. Liu Tong looked at this majestic man and thought, why should I ambush, there are five or six hundred people on the other side, and there are carriages, and they will be scattered with one charge!

Since he has already brought the team over, let's do it first, Liu Tong is a little funny to himself, and looking at the body of the red carp lying down next to him, he feels even more funny, behind the hill, it is not the future to ambush and fight devils, but seeing the solemn eyes of the red carp, it is not easy to joke.

Lou Ban ran over, "Childe, here, two miles away!" ”

Liu Tong bent his index finger and put it in his mouth, and as soon as the whistle sounded, everyone got on the horse.

There are not many people of 500, but the army is neat, and there is still some momentum in galloping away. Liu Tong saw the people opposite, first stopped, and when he got closer and closer, the other party suddenly appeared a little commotion, and it quickly became a battle sequence.

Did you just think that you were here to greet them, and after seeing your own dragon red banner clearly, you were ready to fight? Liu Tong is sure that this team is Sun Quan!

However, why did Liu Biao send someone to escort him from Jingzhou? Liu Tong was puzzled by this, after all, Liu Biao and the Jiangdong Sun family had a grudge against their father.

Three hundred paces away, Liu Tong ordered the troops to stop, and this point of people was not worth a surprise attack.

Liu Tong was about to ask, only to see a horse running out from the opposite side, immediately a person in his early thirties, carrying a big knife, tall, with a large waistline, the whole person looked round and bulging, but the appearance was not a fat person, very majestic.

"Who's coming? Dare to stand in the way of someone! ”

This rough man is very arrogant! Liu Tong was funny in his heart, how could he be a person who was prestigious.

"You bastard, you came to the master's territory, and you are still so arrogant? Hurry up and report your name, otherwise the iron rider will be ruthless. ”

The military general on the opposite side was about to rush with a sword, but was stopped by a scribe who rushed behind him. Liu Tong gradually saw the person who came, but saw that although the person looked old, he should be younger than the general, with slightly yellowed hair, fluffy and sparse, a flat nose, triangular eyes, a mustache, and a sparse beard on his chin.

"This general, I came from Yizhou, and I took my family to Luzhou Province, and I hope it will be convenient!" Saying that, Liu Tong accompanied the obscene little face, and kept clenching his fists.

Wu Ji didn't like the general's style just now, and he also waved his big sword, "Get off the horse and put down your weapons!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the military general on the opposite side was about to step forward to make a move, and the scribe hurriedly grabbed the reins of his horse.

Liu Tong didn't like it when he saw this, "Even if it's a provincial relative, why don't you report your name, and I'll ask you, who is your surname, and which one to find in Luzhou?" If you bring your family, please also get off the horse to inspect it, otherwise I will treat it as a meticulous work, and Hugh blames the sword for being ruthless. ”

When the military general on the opposite side heard that he wanted to inspect the female dependents, he was immediately furious, "Xu Chu, a captain under the command of General Zuo, is also!" ”

Before the words fell, Xu Chu waved his knife and rushed over, Liu Tong was shocked, the tiger idiot Xu Chu! No wonder it is so arrogant, how can it be here?
