Chapter 12 Liu Biao's abacus
"Wen can govern the government, Wu can lead the troops, this person is very talented!"
Liu Cong didn't expect that he was so lucky, and he saved Pan Jun on the first day he came to Hanshou.
This person's ability is not much worse than Xu Shu, if he can be included in the door, his strength will skyrocket!
"It turned out to be Mr. Pan, Mr. Pan doesn't have to be polite, in Liu Cong, he was appointed as a general by Lord Assassin Shi, stationed in Wuling, I have already heard of Mr. Pan's name, and I can't admire him, I see it today, I know Mr. Style, it is really very popular!" Liu Cong turned over and dismounted, helped Pan Jun up, and said in a loud voice.
"It turned out that the second son was in person, and he didn't know the true face of the second son, so I apologize here! I heard that the soldiers under the second prince are all newly recruited, and in just a few days, there is such momentum, and the second son governs the army well, and he admires it so much! ”
Liu Cong asked to be released, in order to promote the general, the matter of garrisoning Wuling has already spread all over Jingzhou, Pan Jun, as a strong party, naturally heard about it, and at this time heard Liu Cong report to his home, and immediately praised.
"Haha, Mr. is so angry, I don't know where Mr. is going, why is he besieged by these brutes?" Liu Cong said.
"Lord Junmeng Thorn Shi took a fancy to it, and was appointed to work for Jiangxia three days ago, and this time he went out of the city to go to his post. As for these brutes...... Alas, if you don't hide it from the second son, the entire Wuling County is erosive, and there is more than one person who has been robbed! Pan Jun smiled bitterly.
"Isn't it, such a coincidence?"
Liu Cong wailed in his heart, knowing that his plan to keep Pan Jun had failed, he was only in the ninth rank at this time, and recruited Pan Jun to take out the position of deputy general from the ninth rank at most, and Jiang Xia was directly engaged in the seventh grade, the gap was too big, and there was no comparison at all.
What's more, Liu Biao is the assassin of Jingzhou, and he is recruited in front, why did he let Pan Jun stay?
Is kindness and righteousness coercive?
Not to mention whether Pan Jun can be made to succumb, even if he barely stays, what is the use of people not being there!
"Forget it, the coming day will be long, anyway, this goods has been going around in Jingzhou all his life, and when I become the assassin of Jingzhou in the future, he can still escape from the palm of my hand?"
Liu Cong sighed secretly, shifted his attention to the barbarians, and asked, "What does Mr. mean when he said that the entire Wuling County is rotten?" ”
"I heard that there was a disaster in the mountains this year, the barbarians were short of food and grass, and a large number of barbarians went out of the mountains and attacked the villages everywhere, and the entire Wuling County was empty." Pan Jun said bitterly.
Liu Cong's eyes changed when he heard this, and he said, "Has this matter ever been reported to the state capital?" ”
"How not to report? The county order and the county guard reported three times a day, and the barbarian invasion had been reported as early as two months ago. Pan Jun said angrily.
Liu Cong frowned, and said strangely: "This is strange, since it has been reported, why does the state government not send troops?" And I've been in Xiangyang for many days, and I've never heard anyone talk about the invasion of barbarians? ”
"It's not surprising that although the barbarians are a serious disaster, they are ultimately limited to Wuling County, and as long as the barbarians get enough food and grass, they will retreat. For those nobles in Xiangyang City, since they can't threaten them, why should they send troops to fight?
As for the general, it is normal that he has never heard of it, this is not a face-saving thing after all, and the major families will not only not spread it around, but will join forces to suppress it.
They control public opinion, and since they choose to suppress it, people like generals, who are outside the officialdom, will naturally not hear it. Xu Shu suddenly interjected.
"This is ......" Pan Jun only noticed Xu Shu at this time, and hurriedly asked.
"Ao, I forgot to introduce, this is Mr. Yingchuan Xu Shuxu, Mr. Shuijing's tall feet, a few days ago, and now he is my Chinese book for the Berserker Army." Liu Cong said.
"It turned out to be Mr. Xu, and I looked up for a long time."
"Don't dare, Mr. Pan is a talented man in Jingzhou, Yuan Zhi has heard about it a long time ago, and it is an honor to see it today."
The two exchanged a few polite words, and the topic continued to return to the barbarians, Liu Cong already vaguely understood why Liu Biao let him come to Wuling at this time.
If you want to make meritorious contributions, then you must first have meritorious service, if you serve in a prosperous place, everything is plain and bland, logical, and what merit can be said?
In today's troubled times, it stands to reason that there are many places to make contributions.
Whether it is to go to Xinye to resist Cao Cao, or to Jiangxia to fight against Sun Quan, you can get credit.
But the same cannot be said of the words.
Whether it's Cao Cao or Sun Quan, which one is easy to mess with?
With fierce generals like Liu Bei and Huang Zu to defend it, they can only be on the defensive, and if Liu Cong is sent over, I am afraid that they will have to prepare to collect the corpse.
And this Wuling barbarian rebellion is different, to use one word to describe the situation on both sides of Wuling is appropriate, easy to defend and difficult to attack!
The barbarians are good at mountain warfare, field warfare, but they are not good at attacking cities, the so-called erosive martial arts, but also only slaughter many villages, for the city walled county, in fact, the threat is not big.
The Han army is good at defending cities and field battles, but it is not good at mountain warfare, that is to say, even if the Han army concentrates a large number of troops and eliminates the barbarians who slaughtered the villages in the field battle, it is difficult to counterattack up the mountain and completely eliminate the barbarians.
Xiangyang City does not send troops to levy, although there are reasons why the major families have nothing to do with themselves and hang high, but the labor expedition and the disproportion between the pay and the harvest are also the main reasons.
What's more, even if they don't react, the barbarians plundered for a while, grabbed enough food, and then retreated on their own.
With this, Xiangyang City is naturally even more reluctant to send troops to conscript.
But for Liu Cong, this is the best place.
What is he here for?
Make a contribution!
What is Gong?
The retreat of the brute soldiers is a success!
As for whether the brute retreated on his own or was repulsed, is there a difference?
As long as he goes back after the barbarians retreat, everyone will naturally say that the barbarians were repelled by him!
At that time, countless honors were added to him, and he initially established his prestige, which made the Jingzhou family dependent.
"My cheap father is really scheming!"
Liu Cong smiled bitterly on his face, deeply impressed by Liu Biao's old spiciness, no wonder Liu Biao didn't even ask after knowing that he was recruiting ordinary people.
He also thought that Liu Biao trusted him, and dared to love that everything was arranged, not to mention that he took 3,000 ordinary people, even if he brought 3,000 dogs, he could make contributions!
"But since I'm here, naturally I can't just mix the credit and go back, Liu Biao still wants to be simple, the family is not a fool, this kind of pure blowing credit will not be put in the eyes of others. If you want to really convince the public, you must have a real record!
Besides, the barbarians are tyrannical, slaughtering my villages and towns, killing my people, if I don't meet them head-on and teach them a painful lesson, how can I be worthy of the people?! Liu Cong said secretly.
The three of them didn't talk for long, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood were not a place to stay for a long time, and Pan Jun had a time limit to go to work, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly resigned and left.
It's just that when he left, he said that the Pan family still has some power in Wuling, and if Liu Cong can be useful in the future, despite his orders, the Pan family will help with all his might.
After that, Liu Cong continued to Hanshou City, and he would stay here for the rest of the year.
The time for the second time crossing is coming soon, and this time he will take the berserker army through the reincarnation world.
When it comes to returning, it will be the day when the barbarians will pay for their blood debts!
