"Sasuke, Gonghiko, what do you two think of the more than 1,000 centaurs in the forest outside the city?"

In a hall of the county guard's mansion, Liu Hong asked Liu You and Jia Wei, who were sitting on his left and right, who had been getting along for a few days, and the relationship between the three of them had progressed rapidly, which was quite like a fish in water.

Liu You and Jia Wei first glanced at each other when they heard this, and then they both locked their eyebrows and thought deeply, they had read the secret report about the more than 1,000 people outside the city, but the content was very small, except for the approximate number of people, there was no other key information such as weapons, armor, Daxu, banners, etc., it was really difficult to have a relatively clear judgment of the combat power of their soldiers, the forces to which they belonged, and the purpose they came.

"Liu Gong." After a while, Liu You finally opened his mouth first. This title was changed the day before yesterday, and there were no accidents during this period, and it went smoothly.

"I thought that the troops outside the city were nothing more than reinforcements from other states and counties, or the remnants of rebellion, and ordinary bandits would not be able to gather so many people."

Jia Wei nodded, and continued: "But to say that it is the remnants of Xu Rebellion, it may not be big, after all, its main force has been broken by our army, and the remnants have fled and scattered, where is it so easy to gather again, even if it is lucky to gather, what do you want to do under this Shanyin City, is it because we don't have enough credit for our generation, so I came to send it off?" ”

After that, the three of them laughed, and then Liu You said in a concluding manner: "So Liu Gong, Sasuke thought that this man from outside the city must have been ordered to come from other states and counties. ”

"Oh?" Liu Hong looked at Liu You, with some consideration in his voice, "Since it is the Han army, why don't you enter the city?" ”

Liu You smiled: "I'm afraid he treats my generation as a bandit." However, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Liu Gong and General Jia, it would be correct for him to think like this. ”

Liu Hong smiled, noncommittal to Liu You's last words, turned his head to look at Jia Wei, and said: "Gongyan, since this is the case, you will quickly go to the city wall to raise the 'Han' flag, and see how this team outside the city reacts, speaking of which, this is my mistake." ”

"No." Jia Wei was ordered to get up and leave.

Soon after Jia Wei left, Liu Hong looked at Liu You again and asked, "By the way, Sasuke, how is the return of the property looted by the people by the traitors?" ”

Liu You's face was bitter, obviously this was a memory that made him not very pleasant, "This matter is generally over, and the people who have received their belongings are cheering and thanking Dade; However, there are still two things that need to be mentioned to Liu Gong. ”

"One of them is the fierce woman of the royal family in the city, who is unreasonable, relying on the fact that she is the woman's family and has a big waist and a round waist, and insists on demanding property that does not belong to her family. I sent my soldiers to drive her away, but not only did she not leave, but she even threatened to come to the county government to find Liu Gong and you to administer justice for her. ”

"The second is that those big families in the city, seeing that Liu Gong treated the small people generously and gave the small people plundered property, they also made a noise, wanting to coerce the people......"

When Liu Hong heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a deep voice:

"What do they want to do? It was the stolen goods that we seized from the hands of the traitors, and they dared to covet it, and they were really greedy for profit, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. ”

Liu You listened to Liu Hong's righteous words, and secretly said in his heart: "Liu Gongguo has the appearance of a hero. ”

"Sasuke, you send someone to send an invitation to this person who is making noise in the afternoon, and say that I will hold a banquet in this county government in a few days, and invite him to come at that time."

"And the woman of the royal family, she must be severely punished, if she is allowed to be so arrogant, there will be scoundrels who will flock to follow her, and for a long time, good will eliminate evil, and the atmosphere in this city will not be bad. Don't you hear, 'The one who started it, there is no aftermath'? ”

"No." Liu You replied respectfully.

After that, the two discussed for a while the handling of political affairs in the city in recent days, and when the discussion was over, two quarters of an hour passed, and then Liu Hong stood up and sent an invitation to Liu You: "Sasuke, go to the city to see how the excitement is." ”

Liu You gladly accepted and said, "You Zheng has this intention. ”

Then the two of them walked towards the north wall of Shanyin, and when they reached the city wall, they saw a forest of flags and the word "Han" fluttering, and Jia Wei had put on his armor and stood in the middle of the city wall.

The two walked over to Jia Wei, and when they arrived, Liu Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Gongyan, what's wrong?" ”

Jia Wei turned around and shook his head: "No result yet." ”

After about a quarter of an hour, more than a thousand horses emerged from the forest, they held high the banner of 'Han', and slowly marched forward, and when they reached a mile away from Shanyin City, they stopped, and then a cavalry rode under the city wall, raised their heads and shouted: "You are the Han army?" ”

Jia Wei looked sideways at Liu Hong and asked for advice, Liu Hong smiled and said, "He is, don't ask me." ”

When Jia Wei heard this, he raised his voice and said loudly: "It is the Han Army, which part of the people are waiting for?" ”

After the cavalryman heard this, he did not answer immediately, and a contemplative look appeared on his heroic face under the helmet, and then looked at his nose, lips, eyebrows, and eyes, this person was Sun Jian.

Jia Wei in the city did not get a response for a long time, and shouted impatiently again: "Hey, boy, it's good for you to answer quickly." ”

Hearing this urging, the suspicion in Sun Jian's heart was like ink dripping into clear water, and he quickly combed through his chaotic thoughts: first, the head of this Shanyin City suddenly raised the Han flag, and then the city shouted that the promise of this guy was very refreshing, as well as the Han soldiers and people buried in the forest pit.

These unusual things reminded Sun Jian of the past when he was a child in the courtyard when he used a wooden stick tied to hemp rope to set up a net as a trap and sprinkle some millet to lure birds and sparrows. And the seemingly well-intentioned one on the city wall may be the millet used to lure birds and sparrows.

"A treacherous thief, if it weren't for the wisdom of a certain family, he would have almost fallen into this evil deed." Sun Jian cursed in his heart, but although he boasted that he had seen through the trap, he did not flee on horseback, because in his opinion, this act was too cowardly and not the work of a hero; Instead, relying on the innate recklessness in his temperament, he raised his head and shouted loudly towards the city: "Look, you don't look like the Han army, but like that-"

Speaking of this, Sun Jian was stunned first, and then instantly raised his voice and said sharply: "Traitor!" ”

"Hahaha......" The three people in the city suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Sun Jian was a little unhappy, according to his thoughts, these thieves must be frightened, hated and angry by his own words; How can you giggle like a bunch of fools?

Jia Wei stopped smiling and said to Sun Jian: "What are you laughing at?" How stupid you are. If my generation was Xu Sheng's gang of rebels, he would have shot you with arrows and crossbows and shot you, a fool who thinks he was smart, how could you be allowed to make endless noise here. ”

"Hmph." Sun Jian snorted coldly, and sneered at each other: "A certain is just a small scout, what good is it to shoot me, besides, with the martial arts of a certain family, a few bows and crossbows want to kill a certain family, I am afraid it is not easy." ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said to Jia Wei: "Gongyan, let me talk to this kid." Then he leaned out from the battlement and shouted to Sun Jian below, "Boy." ”

"What are you going to say?" Sun Jian replied with a little unhappiness, like all teenagers who have just come of age, the thing he hates most now is that people still regard him as a child, not to mention that this person doesn't know what lies to say and what kind of words to use to deceive himself.

"You say that we are traitors, then I want to ask you, if we are really traitors, how dare we call the name of the bandit leader Xu Sheng just now, aren't we afraid of being killed afterwards?"

"This ...... I ......" Sun Jian was suddenly speechless, and he suddenly remembered this small detail that he hadn't paid attention to at this time.

Liu Hong continued: "And if you want Qiao to pretend to be a scout in the future, you should pay attention to changing the 'hat' on your head." ”

Sun Jian didn't speak again, he silently untied the ribbon tied to his chin, and then took the helmet off his head with one hand, and then looked at the helmet in his hand with complex craftsmanship and obviously much more luxurious than the ordinary standard helmet in the army, his eyes were complicated.

But the only luck left in his heart forced Sun Jian to express the last doubt in his heart: "What are the Han soldiers and Li Shu buried in the forest outside the city?" ”

Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, but immediately reacted, what he said was probably the thousand-person pit he used to bury the criminals a few days ago, and immediately replied: "Those people took advantage of the rebels to break the city, committed adultery and plunder, and were killed by Wu Yilu and buried in the woodland outside the city. ”

All doubts have been solved, but Sun Jian did not feel even a trace of joy or relief because of this, at this moment, the desire in his heart is no different from all those who deeply regret the stupid things they have done and the stupid things they have said - it would be nice if time could be turned back.

Seeing that Sun Jian fell into silence again, Liu Hong turned his head and said to Jia Wei: "What's wrong with this kid, why don't you say anything?" ”

Jia Wei said helplessly: "Ming Gong, you ask me, I ask who to go." ”

After a long time, Sun Jian raised his head again and asked with a bitter smile, "Are you really a Han army?" ”

Liu Hong replied solemnly: "It's true. ”

In the cold wind, under the meager sunlight, Sun Jian's lonely figure looked particularly bleak.
