Chapter 102: Taking Stock of the Harvest (Part II)

Liu Huiniang has a complicated mood these days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chao Chong treats her as a personal soldier and often follows her around, on the one hand, she is afraid that Chao Chong has other intentions for her, so she lives carefully every day. On the one hand, I want to discover the mystery that Liangshan always wins.

The first thing she did after following Chao Chong back to Liangshan was to visit a grand funeral.

After each battle, the war dead were transported back to Yangsan, where a grand funeral ceremony was held, and finally buried in the Houshan cemetery. This has become a common practice in Liangshan.

Liu Huiniang is the first time to participate, grand, solemn, solemn, glorious, the results of this battle are brilliant, there are only more than 30 people killed in the battle, but Chao Chong still said impassioned on the high platform, and the soldiers in the audience listened to the blood boiling. With the call of the soldiers in the audience, Liu Huiniang was also excited.

Especially in the end, when Chao Chong personally carried the coffin of the martyr as a general, Liu Huiniang even burst into tears.

After the funeral, Liu Huiniang followed Chao Chong to patrol the mountain, and all the soldiers looked at Chao Chong with enthusiasm. The seemingly barbaric and rude generals also saluted with joy and sincerity when they saw Chao Chong.

Chao Chong always responds with a smile and can accurately say the name of each soldier.

She somewhat understood why those Liangshan soldiers had won so many battles. Compared with his father's rejection of his father when he was in the regimental training camp, those officers and soldiers did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. Mutually exclusive, indifferent as frost. The atmosphere on Liangshan is really good.

Why is this happening? Aren't they thieves?

In order to peek into the mystery, Liu Huiniang observed more carefully.

These thieves will get up and practice on time every day.

They always have to sing a few songs before eating.

Their military discipline is simple, but everyone will abide by it.

Their tents were clean and tidy, and their beds were neatly made.

They always have shiny military badges on their chests and love to show off.

They had dinner in the evening and would gather to listen to stories.

Behind their officials, they wore back-shielding flags like singing on the stage.

……

In the past, I just thought that Chao Chong was too cunning, but the more I observed, the more Liu Huiniang felt that Chao Chong was mysterious. There was even a thought in my heart that "he's still a good guy".

Chao Chong once promised Liu Huiniang to let her father go back, and on the fourth day after returning to Liangshan, Chao Chong really kept his promise and let Liu Guang go back.

Liu Huiniang had a good impression of Chao Chong in her heart and was secretly grateful. But this goodwill was quickly destroyed by something.

After Liu Guang returned with more than 100 captives, Chao Chong immediately mobilized his troops and followed Liu Guang. On the way, plans to attack Jeju City were announced.

When Yoo Hye-niang heard this plan to storm Jeju City, she understood that her father was being used.

Things turned out to be as Liang Shan expected, Liu Guang deceived and opened the city gate, and Liang Shan suddenly exerted his strength and seized the west gate.

The official army in Jeju City collapsed, and the Yangsan army took advantage of the situation to enter the city. Jeju Fortress falls.

Liu Guang was arrested by the officials and imprisoned in the government, which made Liu Huiniang anxious. Even if Liu Huiniang is angry with Chao Chong, she can only rely on Chao Chong's strength to save her father at this time.

She originally thought that Chao Chong would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for herself, such as asking for a sacrifice, sleeping or something, Liu Huiniang has always believed in her appearance, but in order to save her father, Liu Huiniang let it go.

But the result was unexpected, as soon as she asked to save her father, Chao Chong agreed without hesitation.

For Chao Chong, rescuing Liu Guang is just a gesture, if Liu Huiniang, the female Zhuge can be subdued, there will be someone to help him formulate a battle plan in the future, and the combat department will not be the only one who is alone.

Liu Huiniang looked at Chao Chong in surprise, Chao Chong also looked at Liu Huiniang inexplicably, and the two stared at each other for a while.

"You're so despicable, don't you even take the opportunity to make a condition?"

Liu Huiniang was as if she had enough strength to punch out, but she threw herself into the air, and there was still a little loss in her heart.

"Your life is mine, what more conditions do I need to mention? Also, I would be happier if you could judge me by removing the word mean. ”

"Okay, I didn't say it."

Since my life is his, it is only natural for him to help me! Liu Huiniang waved her little fist and comforted herself.

Chao Chong ordered people to transport money, food, and weapons out of the city; One side walked towards the besieged government. Lin Chong was there to direct the battle.

Outside the palace, Chao Chong asked the government to release Liu Guang, and in exchange, the Liangshan men would stop their attack on the government and evacuate before dark.

When the prefect Jiang Tianyue heard this condition, he secretly scolded in his heart, Liu Guang really took refuge in Liangshan! It's a shame that I still use him so much, I'm really blind to my own dog's eyes!

Jiang Tianyue wanted to kill Liu Guang immediately, but was dissuaded by He Tao.

When He Tao saw that Chao Chong came to ask for Liu Guang back in person, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and Chao Chong's move completely confirmed Liu Guang's crime of colluding with Liang Shan, and his suspicion was completely cleared. He was naturally happy that Liu Guang would be let go.

He Tao, the traitor, finally moved Jiang Tianyue and released Liu Guang respectfully.

Chao Chong also fulfilled his promise and besieged the government without attacking it, which made Jiang Tianyue's anxious heart let go of half of it.

Liu Guang felt that he was unlucky.

When he was originally released by Liangshan, he was still full of ambition and wanted to lie down and taste his courage and make a comeback. But Liangshan used himself to break through Jeju City, and Liu Guang knew that he was finished.

This black cauldron will definitely be carried to death.

Liu Guang was disheartened at that time, so he was captured by the officers and soldiers who swarmed up, and was pressed into the government office. But at this time, it was too late to resist.

People say that adversity sees true love, Liu Guang couldn't say thank you to He Tao before, but when he was in the most danger, it was He Tao who saved his life three times and twice, which made Liu Guang's gratitude to He Tao increase.

If he knew that He Tao was actually the real traitor, maybe he wouldn't think so, but unfortunately he didn't know anything about it.

Liu Guang was put back, and when he saw Chao Chong again, his heart was full of frustration.

Liu Huiniang hurriedly went up to comfort her father. The father and daughter sighed when they saw each other.

Chao Chong said: "Hui Niang begged me to save you, I have already done it." Where to go, you decide. I heard that your two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, are at home, so while there is still time, you can take Huiniang to the house to have a look. Before dark, Hui Niang returned to the team, and as for you, it was fine. ”

For Liu Guang, Chao Chong was not interested. It's better to give Liu Huiniang a half-day vacation.

"You already know Hui Niang's identity?"

Liu Guang was surprised, and looking at his daughter's face again, it didn't look like she had been bullied.

"Isn't that weird? From the time you arrived in Jeju from Rouge Mountain, your every move was under my surveillance, and you thought you could deceive me? ”

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Liang Shan has long investigated himself, no wonder he has been led by Liang Shan since he left the city. And he is just through hearsay, ignorant of the people of Liangshan. No wonder it will be defeated!

Liu Guang was always full of frustration in the face of Chao Chong, and he felt uncomfortable in front of him, and after getting permission, he quickly left with his daughter and went to his home.

The Yangsan army took control of the western wall of Jeju Prefecture and sent Yang Zhi's dragon horses to roam around the city to maintain order.

Other soldiers were not allowed to harass the people or enter the houses, but were to carry supplies out of the city from the treasury, granary, and cane storehouse. But the people in the city still closed their doors out of fear, and did not dare to show their heads. As a result, the streets are deserted. Only occasionally did Long Xiang ride a few horses to run past and maintain order.

Liu Guang rushed back to Liu's house with his daughter, and when he saw that the door was closed, his heart was settled, and he hurriedly knocked on the door, and the housekeeper saw that it was the master and the young lady who came back from the crack in the door, and hurriedly opened the door.

When I entered the mansion, I saw Liu Qi and Liu Lin hiding in the matching room with seven or eight family members with knives and guns.

Liu Qi and Liu Lin were overjoyed when they saw their father and little sister coming back safely, and knelt on the ground to greet them. When the ladies of the family heard about it, they also came out to meet each other. They originally thought that Liu Guang and Liu Huiniang were captured and would definitely die, but they didn't expect to come back safely, so they naturally hugged their heads and cried again.

After getting together and telling the truth, everyone in the family knew that it was all Liu Huiniang who sold herself to Chao Chong in exchange for a safe family, and they sighed.

"That Chao Chong must have thought about the little sister, but I can't let the little sister fall into the tiger's mouth again, why don't we escape together!"

Liu Qi suggested.

"Stupid! Since Yangsan can control the entire Jeju City, the power is huge, and the information is well-informed, how can we escape? Where to escape? ”

Liu Qi bowed his head and was silent when he was reprimanded.

"Actually, Liangshan is not bad, and Chao Chong takes care of me."

Liu Huiniang was afraid that her family would be worried, so she comforted her.

"What is Chao Chong's age? Is it rude? What is the appearance? Have you ever asked for warmth? I heard that he is the son of a big boss, does he have any status on Liangshan? ”

Mother Chen asked with the same idea of examining her future son-in-law.

"He seems to be quite gentle, always smiling at people, and although he is in a den of thieves, he does not look like a thief at all, but a bit like a son of a family. The thieves on the mountain had great respect for him...... Oh, Mother, what do you ask all this? I'm just a soldier for him now, where do you all want to go? ”

"Pro-soldiers? Can a girl still join the army? Silly boy, he just wants to keep you by his side, and he deliberately makes a ploy. ”

The mother did her best to enlighten her daughter.

"Who says women can't be soldiers? In ancient times, there was Mulan, and now there is Mu Guiying, and there is a military general on Liangshan who rides a horse, called Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, but it is majestic. ”

Liu Huiniang hurriedly argued.

"Silly boys, those rough country girls, it's okay to mess around, you can't learn from them, men don't like to dance knives and guns. You've got to learn how to dress up! ”

"Mother, it's really not what you think......"

"Ah Xiu, no matter what, if you can get that Chao Chong's trust, life will be a little better."

Liu Guangchang sighed, his daughter is the meat of his heart, but as long as there is a way, he is not willing to let his daughter be wronged. But at this point, he can only hope that his daughter will have a better life.

"Daddy, we can't afford to offend Liangshan. I am afraid that as soon as this war is over, you will be wanted everywhere, what will you do? ”

"Let's take one step at a time, Jeju City can't stay anyway."

Liu Guang saw the situation in front of him very clearly. Now it is Yangsan who controls the situation, and the government is powerless. Once Liangshan withdraws his troops, the first thing the government will do is to shirk its responsibilities and find a scapegoat to carry the black cauldron.

The fall of the state capital will definitely not be able to hide it, and it must be reported, but who will bear the responsibility for this crime?

I, the former Jeju regiment training envoy, is the best candidate to take the blame.

The three of them, father and son, were wanted and arrested, beheaded in the downtown area, and I am afraid they will not be able to escape.

Liu Guang analyzed the current situation to his family and said: "Now is the time for my Liu family to live and die, you all talk about what to do." ”

Everyone was frightened by the treacherous prospect and fell silent for a long time.

The eldest son, Liu Qi, said: "Father, we dragged the family with us, and the family couldn't run fast. Instead of being caught and killed by the government, it is better for us to go to Liangshan and fall into the grass for Kou! ”

If it were placed in normal times, Liu Guang would definitely reprimand his son for not knowing loyalty and having no shame. But now in this situation, he instead thought about the feasibility of this proposal, or rather, taking refuge in Liangshan has become the only way for their family to live.

"Although Liangshan Chao Chong let me go, he didn't have the slightest intention of soliciting, and rashly proposed to go up the mountain, for fear that they would not accept it."

Liu Guang was also a little apprehensive in his heart, if he proposed to go up the mountain, but was rejected by Chao Chong, it would be a shame, and the possibility of rejection was still very high.

"My father is excellent in martial arts, has been in the army for many years, and has five official residences, how many people can compare with Liangshan? Let's go to the grass, they should be overjoyed! ”

The second son Liu Lin said.

Martial arts? Liu Guang's old face turned red all of a sudden. In the past, he also thought that his martial arts were good, but when he faced Lin Chong, he had no power to fight back at all, and he was captured by the horse.

Liu Qi and Liu Lin also had no backhand in the face of Lin Chong and Yang Zhi. This may be the reason why Liang Shan looks down on his father and son, so that Chao Chong did not propose to solicit at all.

What to do? Liu Guang subconsciously looked at Liu Huiniang, that Chao Chong is so fond of Ah Xiu, if Ah Xiu begs him, things may be ......

Bah! Bah! Liu Guang hurriedly dispelled this despicable thought, how could he let his daughter do such a thing.

Liu Huiniang saw her father's contradiction in Liu Guang's eyes. It was a matter of life and death for the Liu family, and Liu Huiniang also let it go, she decided to give up her face and beg Chao Chong again.

He wouldn't refuse me, would he? It should be, probably, probably, no......

Liu Huiniang actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but in order to give the family confidence, she pretended to be full of confidence and said: "Leave this matter to me, I'll ask Chao Chong, and he will definitely agree!" ”

Liu Guang, Liu Qi, Liu Lin, father and son, looked at each other, and they were all silent. At the moment of life and death, they have to rely on women to save them, and they all feel shameless.

But this is the most likely way to succeed. It is a matter of life and death for a family, and they can only acquiesce.

Seeing this, Mother Chen hurriedly broke the embarrassment and said, "It's okay for us all to go to Liangshan, with the support of my mother's family, Ah Xiu won't worry about being bullied!" ”

"Mother, it's really not as ...... as you think"

After some discussion, Liu Guang took Liu Qi and Liu Lin to escort Liu Huiniang to Chao Chong.

"Oh, why did you come back at noon? Didn't I allow you to stay until dark? ”

Chao Chong said curiously.

"Can't I want to come back sooner?"

Liu Huiniang was a little dissatisfied.

Liu Guang, Liu Qi, and Liu Lin hurriedly knelt down and saluted, since they had a request for others, their posture should be lowered a little. Chao Chong nodded and motioned for them to get up.

"Okay, of course!"

Facing the girl who plays with the temper of a child, Chao Chong doesn't care.

"Uh, that ......"

Liu Huiniang was also a little hesitant, she had just begged Chao Chong to save her father in the morning, and she already owed him a big favor, and now she had to make a request to Chao Chong, and even she felt that she couldn't open her mouth.

Thinking of the future of the family, seeing the expectant eyes of her father and two elder brothers, Liu Huiniang still mustered up the courage to say: "My father's family wants to go to Liangshan, will you accept it?" ”

"No problem." Chao Chong said casually.

Liu Huiniang was a little frustrated and said, "Okay, I know it's a bit difficult to be strong." Wrong! You just said no problem? ”

"No problem! I promised! Chao Chong repeated.

Liu Huiniang, Liu Guang, Liu Qi, and Liu Lin fell into surprise. They didn't expect Chao Chong to agree so happily!

Liu Guang thought of Chao Chong's completely different attitude towards himself and Liu Huiniang, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he let his daughter bring it up, if he proposed it himself, he would definitely be rejected.

What Liu Qi and Liu Lin thought was that their sister was so favored, and Chao Chong actually obeyed her, so if she went to Liangshan in the future, she should have some status, right?

For Chao Chong, it doesn't matter whether Liu Guang's family goes up the mountain or not, it's just a dozen more people to eat.

More of them is not more, less of them is not less. But Liu Huiniang is the staff officer of the Operations Department who she predestined, and she must be encircled.

Because there was still a half-day holiday, Liu Huiniang followed Liu Guang back to Liu's mansion, and as soon as she returned home and announced the news, all the family members also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did not have to worry about life and death.

Liu Guang also sighed, the world is so changeable. If someone had asked him to submit to Liangshan ten days ago, he would have thought it was a great shame. But now that he is accepted by Liang Shan, he feels very lucky.

Time, luck, and life!

Before dark, the Liangshan army and horses transported 100,000 stone of grain, 200,000 pieces of money, more than 5,000 knives and guns, 3,000 sets of iron armor, 300 hard crossbows, 1,000 strong bows, and more than 100,000 feather arrows.

Chao Chong gave the order to retreat.

When the Yangsan army withdrew from Jeju City, the system sound sounded again.

"Ding, the state city is lost. The opening conditions of the power map and system mall are insufficient, so they are temporarily locked. If you don't advance, you will retreat, please keep up the host's efforts! ”

Well, there is a give-and-take! Chao Chong could only comfort himself like this.
