Chapter 431: In the Long Society

Previous Chapter

The morning sun is like fire, and the earth awakens in golden light.

Scorched earth, corpses, pools of blood, ruins...... On the wilderness northeast of Changshe City, the ground is full of devastation and rivers of blood, and the scene is extremely strange, accompanied by the occasional wailing and crying, which makes people feel complicated and chaotic.

Xi Wei stood at the head of the city, looking at the scene over there carefully and quietly, his body trembling slightly.

A similar scene, according to the people of Changshe City, happened five years ago. At that time, Bocai Peng Tuo made a rebellion in Yingchuan, and was stationed in Changshe, and was attacked by Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song with fire, although after the Wancheng Incident, the two Zhonglang generals led the army to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, causing Bocai Peng to escape, but then Bocai Peng Tuo in order to save the Nanyang army swung in, or was broken by the three Zhonglang generals combined forces, Bocai even lost his life.

The former Yellow Turban Army has long since gone their separate ways, or they are still turning into grass bandits, or they have become ordinary people again, or they have joined one side and done things for others. Of course, there is no shortage of deaths in these five years.

But in the same way, the elite imperial army of yesteryear no longer exists.

So, in this battle from yesterday evening to the early hours of this morning, this battle that can also be called the Battle of Chosha was won by the anti-thieves - it was the anti-thieves who won the battle, including him.

As the assassin of Yuzhou, Kong Ling, who led the self-proclaimed elite Yuzhou army, was defeated in this battle against these thieves in the name of justice.

To be precise, in fact, Kong Ling didn't even have a chance to fight, and just led the army to camp on the bank of the Weishui River, which was only two or three miles northeast of Changshe, and was defeated by them.

Kong Ling's army naturally has a lot of people, two counties and four countries in Yuzhou, except for Runan County and Chen State, after all, he has the strength of one county and three countries, and when he goes to Sujuo, there are more than 20,000 people. This time, Yangzhai County, the seat of Yingchuan County, was the first to be breached, and then the Changshe was also breached, in addition to the soldiers who were captured, wounded, and killed, naturally there were many people who converged in the direction where Kong Ling came.

And although the situation was urgent, Kong Ling only led five or six thousand cavalry first, and there were still a large number of infantry on the way from Suozao to Yingchuan County, but with those reorganized and converged troops, in fact, there were more than 10,000 people.

But Kong Ling's mistake was to underestimate their courage and misestimate their numbers.

Coupled with the nearly 8,000 parts that Liu Pet brought over and recruited along the way, plus the 3,000 people he brought, there were more than 10,000 of them, so a guy like Kong Ling, who could only talk loudly, exhausted his energy and hurried with all his strength to become a net, and was naturally defeated by them effortlessly.

Now that I think about it, the conversation before leaving Liu Zheng on the night of April 17 is still vivid in my mind.

still remembers that at that time, Liu Zheng said in an extremely serious tone: "I will give you three choices, first, take refuge in Yuan Shao, and you will be a fine work for me." Second, you go to Yuan Shu, stay directly by Brother Wentai's side, keep an eye on Yuan Shu's movements at any time, and if necessary, I will ask you to contact Yuan Shu and deal with me who fell out with Yuan Shao. ”

Third, persuade Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and assist him in capturing Yingchuan. He's a bit of a solicitation for me, I know, but you and I should be able to tell that he's a proud man, so you have to be careful that he kills me if you don't agree with him. In addition, I will give you some troops to protect yourself and deal with you when the work is done. But the ugly words are ahead, I may not be able to protect you, and it doesn't matter if you want to surrender Liu Pet......"

He was really angry at the time.

In the past, when Liu Zheng was imprisoned, he strongly supported Liu Zheng and propagated the rumors that Liu Yu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the pressure he was under was definitely not trivial. Since then, he has been conscientious, and he has not even done less errands, and he followed Liu Zheng south decisively, but Liu Zhengyi asked him to do things, not to let him give advice and do the work of the staff, but to let him be a lobbyist and meticulous work that he is not good at, and even be born and died as an outcast.

He felt that he could be entrusted with a heavy task, but he couldn't stand this kind of work, and he was in danger alone without any experience, the degree of difficulty can be imagined, Liu Zheng even said: "It's okay if you want to be angry." After all, you are still young, and some things may be too difficult for you. Of course, you actually have another choice, which is to leave me after this fire, and go wherever you want. It's just that you've thought about it, and it's very unlikely that the person who left wants to come back in. ”

"Liu Mou told the truth, you follow me, I really don't know what I can make you do for the time being, but you are stubborn, once you make a decision, you will not change easily, which also shows that you are very loyal. That's the only good thing I see in you now, and the only thing I can use now—you can't rebel. Naturally, it doesn't matter if you want to go, but if you want to choose the other three paths, I won't give you advice. Find Yuan Shao, you can go north directly. Looking for Yuan Shu and Liu Pet, you can go to Yingyin to find the two ladies of my family, they are now in charge of Yuzhou affairs, and they are also responsible for arranging the manpower affairs, and they can also give you a little advice over there. ”

These words did not give him a little power to choose, and there was no room for discussion, he argued loudly, listed all the people he would meet, and tried to go to Lugushan Mountain with Zhang Fei and others, or stay here, but it was useless, Liu Zheng said that Yuan Shao had gone to Hanoi, and the situation in Lugushan Mountain might change, and he would look chicken if he stayed in the army or went to Lugushan Mountain, so he could only choose these four roads, so he thought about it, so he said the cruel words of "insufficient erection and conspiracy", and then left the camp and went to Chenliu County.

Of course, he said such cruel words, but also because Liu Zheng wanted to destroy the situation in Yuzhou at such a critical juncture, let Liu Pet fight with Kong Ling, and even use Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's water and fire to do something, which was completely out of his impression of Liu Zhengming's courage and righteousness, but felt that Liu Zheng was extremely hypocritical.

After thinking about it all night, Xi Xuan suddenly found that the world was so big that he couldn't find a place to stay.

It's just that he is too stubborn, he followed Liu Zheng to Yingchuan alone, at this time, the nearest is naturally the hometown of Shanyang County, Yanzhou, but if he goes back to his hometown, the family has no power and power, and he used to travel far away to study, and he doesn't even have relatives and friends here, even if some of his talents are appreciated by the government, according to his background in a poor family, he still has to boil up his qualifications, see the opportunity, and spend a few years of hard work before it may be possible to be reused, if he goes to Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom, and then goes back to Zheng Xuan to study, or through Zheng Xuan's relationship, this road is too dangerous, He doesn't know if he will be able to return to Gaomi County alive.

In other words, his path was blocked by Liu Zheng, and in the case that Liu Zheng would not change his mind, he could only choose those three paths.

So, he thought about it, so he could only go to Yingyin to find Xun Cai and Geng Qiuyi first, thinking that he would listen to his opinions first, and if possible, ask for a travel fee, explain the reason, and say goodbye to Liu Zheng indirectly with dignity, and then ask Xun Cai to ask a few people to escort him back to Gaomi. If you want to come to your daughter's house to be emotional, you won't see him fall into trouble.

He had been to Xunfu when he followed Liu Zheng south, and he had also followed Ke Hai before about the approximate location of the contact point of Liu Zheng's subordinates in Chenliu County, and after contacting the leader of the contact point, he bothered the other party to take him to Yingchuan, and three days later, he appeared in Yingyin and met Xun Cai.

After telling Xun Cai and Geng Qiuyi the approximate reason for the incident, Xun Cai didn't say anything to him, blaming Liu Zheng for his arbitrariness, but he introduced him to the approximate manpower that could be transferred in Yingchuan. The implication of this was obviously to persuade Liu Chong, who was already heading towards Yang Zhai at that time.

He was originally a little unhappy, after all, Liu Pet was friendly in front of Liu Zheng at the beginning, and turned his head and said that Liu Zheng was his person, this kind of behavior looks like a person with strong self-confidence, and also has a certain amount of scheming and ambition, and is a little domineering, let him go over to persuade Liu Pet, and stay and cooperate with Liu Pet, which is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, playing with his life, he is still young, and there are more opportunities and choices...... When Xun Cai introduced Peng Tuo's subordinates Qu Gong and Shen Cheng to him in Yingchuan, he suddenly found that things had become much simpler.

Qu Gong and Shen Cheng are under Peng Tuo's command, and Peng Tuo followed Peng Tuo when he was the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the past, and like Jiang Gong, he and Peng Tuo are both superiors and subordinates, and they are also confidants. Originally, the two were assigned to activities in Runan and Yingchuan, but during that time, Peng Tuo wanted to follow Xun Shuang to Luoyang, Liu Zheng and others also happened to come over, Xun Cai, who took over the intelligence of Yuzhou, also wanted to re-understand the layout of Yuzhou, so they arrived in Yingyin in advance, bid farewell to Xun Shuang and Peng Tuo, and then stayed for a while longer, and explained the general situation to Xun Cai, who came later.

When Xi was worried, both of them were there, and this time he just brought two thousand people over, these two thousand people are active in Yingchuan and Runan, and there are naturally friends near Yingchuan.

In the time since, in fact, until he went to meet Liu Pet, he was still a little apprehensive, but when he saw Liu Pet, he didn't expect things to be unexpectedly simple.

Now it seems that Liu Chong has no intention of rebelling, but it does not mean that he has no opinion on Yingchuan Taishou and Kong Ling.

In the past, Yingchuan Taishou was jealous of his gathering of more than 100,000 people, and he slandered him a lot, and even Kong Ling spoke disrespectfully to him, and Liu Chong always remembered it in his heart.

According to Xi Xian's guess, Liu Chong waved his troops to Yingchuan this time, firstly, to make trouble for Liu Zheng, and wanted Liu Zheng to be forced to join him due to the situation, and secondly, he also wanted to station in Yangzhai, and then march from Yuzhou with Kong Ling to attack Luoyang, of course, when the time comes, Kong Ling will have to obey his orders, and he will lead the attack on Luoyang.

In all fairness, as far as Kong Ling's character is concerned, he can't even believe Xi Xian.

However, as soon as Liu Pet entered Yingchuan, he was slandered by Yingchuan Taishou as wanting to rebel, Liu Chong's temper did not bother to explain, but he didn't want to be discredited, so he only said that he went to Yangzhai to ask for food, and when Yingchuan Taishou sent someone to summon the sour jujube to slander him and he knew about it, he should be really angry that these people who are still fighting at this time and don't even have a little affection.

After that, Xi Wei also learned that Liu Chong was actually planning to teach Yingchuan Taishou a lesson, and he also wanted to send troops from Chen State to open up Changping, the westernmost part of Chen State, with Xinji, Xu County, Yingyin, and Yangzhai in Yingchuan County, so that he could transport grain and grass troops and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

When Xi Xian met Liu Pet in person, he saw that Liu Pet was extremely happy after hearing about Liu Zheng's plan, and then waited for Liu Zheng's letter to be sent from Sour Zao, and learned that Liu Zheng was framed by the Sour Zao Alliance, and asked Liu Pet to help distract him, and also pointed out to Liu Pet to ask Yuan Shu to assist from the side, although Liu Zheng's words in the letter were not lacking in the intention to stay out of the matter, and also knew that Yuan Shu was not a good ally, Liu Pet still showed that this matter was in the right hands.

So the two sides hit it off.

Xi Wei and Qu Gong mixed into Yang Zhai, Shen Cheng led people to mix into the Changshe, first Xi Xian, Qu Gong and Liu Chongli should join forces, almost effortlessly broke through Yang Zhai, killed Yingchuan Taishou, obtained Yang Zhai's materials, and also incorporated two or three thousand elites, and then quickly took the Changshe located in the east of Yang Zhai and the north of Yingyin with the same routine.

At the same time, Liu Chong did not hide Xi Wei, and sent a letter to Changping's Gongcao Yuan Jian and Liang Xi, the chief bookkeeper, in front of Xi Wei, and asked the two to send troops to attack Xinji, Xuxian, and Yingyin counties according to his plan, open up the channel for transporting grain and troops, and sent someone to write to Chen Xiang Luo Jun to be vigilant against Chen Liu's possible allies.

Luo Jun was stationed in Yangxia, in the northwest of Chen, not far from the border of Chenliu County, and there was only one Fule County not far to the northwest. As for the south of Chen Guo, it is Runan County, which is under the control of Yuan Shu, and Liu Chong has already written to Yuan Shu, and even Xi Shu feels that there will be no big problems with Yuan Shu.

As for the Liang State in the northeast of the Chen State and the Pei State in the east, these two countries are under the jurisdiction of Kong Ling, but the people of the two countries fled to the Chen State in the past, and the Chen State has an inextricable relationship with the two countries, and the soldiers of the two countries may not have the fighting spirit, plus the Chen State is powerful, as long as Liu Chong lets a few henchmen and generals be stationed in the northeast of the Chen State, the two countries may not dare to move.

What's more, Qian County is in the west of Peiguo, adjacent to Chen State, although Kong Ling's house sometimes talks nonsense regardless of face in rumors, but Qian County, as the state capital of Yuzhou's Assassin History Department, if it is captured by Liu Chong, it will definitely make Kong Ling angry. So Xi Xi and Liu Chong both believed that with Kong Ling's character, they would make people stationed in Qian County shut down, and they would be more inclined to let the sour jujube alliance take action, so they were basically not dangerous.

Of course, according to the expectations of Liu Zheng's letter, Yuan Shu should come in and get a piece of the pie, and there may be some variables. But Qu Gong and Shen Cheng also said that Liu Bi and Gong, who were active in Runan, had reached a certain consensus with Yuan Shu, and they had old days with Liu Bi and Gong, and they wanted to come to Yuan Shu to attack Liu Pet, and they needed the assistance of Liu Bi and Gong Du, as long as they retreated, Liu Bi and Gong Du should spare their lives, and when the time came, that is, Chen Guo suffered, and basically it would not affect them.

Xi Wei was worried that Liu Zheng had done something wrong, and as for Liu Zheng's result, it had nothing to do with him, he just had to follow Liu Zheng and work hard.

It's just that the scene in front of him is a hundred times more ferocious than what Jixian saw at the beginning, and he can't adapt to it for a while. By the time I turned around, it was almost dark.

It seems that Kong Ling doesn't dare to come over again today......

He turned around and walked down the city wall, there were still many people near and far who were busy defending, Liu Pet was also letting his corporal soldiers forcibly recruit people into the army, and he was also discussing with Qu Gong and Shen Cheng about retreating, and he was also involved, but because of his age, even though Xun Cai had entrusted Qu Gong and Shen Cheng before, he had also completed the character of persuading Liu Chong, which still made people look down on him, and not many people adopted the opinions he put forward, so he was a little worried in his heart.

This day was the eighth day of the fifth month of the third year of Chuping, and he became a thief......

I hope I don't see the wrong person......
