Chapter 274: How can it be as good as it should be

The plan to burn down the grain depot in the city was finally stopped by Liu Beijun, and while Xu Shu and Hu Che'er met to discuss countermeasures, Liu Beijun, who had opened the city gate, did not attack the other gates nor the official office, but went straight to the treasury of Jiangling. The money depot is secondary, and the grain depot and the armory are Liu Beijun's main targets.

Jiangling is located in the transportation hub, since Liu Biao's time has been serving as a material transfer station, and after Liu Xie got Jiangling, in order to guard against Liu Bei in Jingnan and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Jiangling was even more regarded as a frontier town in the operation, Jiangling City hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance official money.

When Liu Beijun arrived at the grain depot, he happened to bump into Wen Xiu who was directing people to arrange things that set fire to them, and as long as they found that the city could not be defended, they would order to set fire to the grain. Although the grain was not easy to obtain and it was a pity to burn it, it was better than the enemy falling into the hands of Liu Beijun.

Seeing Liu Beijun killed, Wen Xiu immediately wanted to order arson, but he didn't expect Liu Beijun's leading general to raise his hand with an arrow, which hit the unsuspecting Wen Xiu's forehead, Wen Xiu was killed on the spot, although the remaining Han soldiers were set on fire, but due to Liu Beijun's timely firefighting, the grain depot did not catch fire, and the loss was negligible compared with the grain and grass hoarded in Jiangling City.

Wen Xiu was killed, the grain depot was lost, and Xu Shu was hit by five thunders after learning the news. Seeing this, Hu Che'er on the side hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Xu, don't be stunned, quickly follow me out of the city, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood." ”

“…… General Hu, do you want me to abandon the city and flee? Xu Shu looked at Hu Che'er with a strange look in his eyes and asked.

"Alas~ Mr. Xu, you can't do anything, how can you force it. At present, the gate of Gangneung City is lost, and the grain depot is lost again, if you don't leave at this time, you can't leave if you want to go. Hu Che'er sighed, and explained with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes.

“…… General Hu, the Holy General Jiangling has been entrusted to you and me, and now that Jiangling is lost, if it can't be recaptured from Liu Beijun's hands, what face will you and I have to see the Holy Lord? Xu Shu stared at Hu Che'er and asked slowly.

"But now that the army's heart is weak, there are only these 100 people around you and me, how can you drive Liu Beijun out of the city?" Hu Che'er asked rhetorically when he heard this.

Hu Che'er's words were very realistic, and Xu Shu was speechless. In fact, the loss of the Jiangling City Gate means that Liu Beijun can enter the city in a steady stream. Previously, Hu Che'er suffered Zhang Fei and was defeated by him, which means that it is impossible to turn the tide in Jiangling City with Hu Che'er's martial arts.

"I won't go, if I can't recapture Jiangling, then let me Xu Shu live and die with this Jiangling. As for you, if you want to live, then go, and you don't have to fight to the death for Gangneung with me. Xu Shu was silent for a while, and said to Hu Che'er in a firm tone.

"Mr. Xu, why are you stubborn......

"General Hu, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do. I am the warden of Gangneung County, and I have the responsibility of guarding the land, so I should not leave. Xu Shu interrupted Hu Che'er's words, drew his sword in his hand and turned to leave, leaving no nonsense. Seeing this, Hu Che'er sighed, stepped to catch up with Xu Shu, and silently paralleled Xu Shu.

"Why didn't General Hu leave?"

"You have the responsibility to defend the land, don't I have Lao Hu? Since following the saint, the saint has treated me very much, and today is also the time for my old Hu to be loyal to the saint. Hu Che'er glanced at Xu Shu, who was asking, and replied slowly.

"General Hu said it well, then let you and I live and die together today."

Before Hu Che'er could respond to Xu Shu's proposal, a team of Liu Beijun rushed out of the diagonal stab, led by Zhang Fei, who had defeated Hu Che'er earlier. As soon as he saw Hu Che'er, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and stepped forward and shouted: "Hu Che'er, your third grandfather Zhang is here, and he won't come to die soon!" ”

"Mr. Xu, Lao Hu will go first." When Hu Che'er heard this, he said to Xu Shu, and then his face changed suddenly, and he shouted urgently: "Be careful behind you." ”

Xu Shu subconsciously turned his head, and immediately understood, but it was too late, and he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and the whole person fainted.

"Take Mr. away quickly, and make sure that Mr. is safe and sound." Hu Che'er instructed Xu Shu's personal soldiers to support him.

"Take care, General." The soldiers agreed, and took a dozen people to protect Xu Shu, who had passed out in a coma, and quickly retreated.

"Where to go!" As soon as Zhang Fei saw that a piece of fat slipped away from his mouth, where was he willing to follow, he immediately urged the horse to rush over, and Hu Che'er also waved a double iron halberd to meet him at this time, intercepting Zhang Fei's retreat.

Hu Che'er's martial arts are not as good as Zhang Fei's, and now he is riding on foot, so Hu Che'er is at a disadvantage everywhere. However, people were in a hurry, in order to buy Xu Shu more time to get out of trouble, Hu Che'er's moves only attacked but not defended, which made Zhang Fei a little unable to perform.

The barefoot one is not afraid of wearing shoes, and Hu Che'er, who is a little desperate for Saburo's posture, blocked Zhang Fei, Hu Che'er only blocked Zhang Fei for more than 30 rounds in the previous fight, but this time it has been more than 50 rounds, and it looks like that posture can continue to hold on until he is exhausted.

Zhang Fei was so angry by Hu Che'er's stalking that he couldn't help but give up his reason, and when he gave up, Hu Che'er couldn't cover it, and fought again for more than ten rounds, Hu Che'er was stabbed in the center by Zhang Fei with a spear and killed on the spot.

"Grandma, you really can't underestimate these dog thieves in the court." Zhang Fei shook Hu Che'er hanging on the snake spear to the ground with both hands, and couldn't help but scold because of the excessive movement that caused the wound on his shoulder.

……

The words are divided into two ends, south of Gangneung City

Wen Dai, who has been tied up with ropes, is glaring at Wen Hou angrily, the city gate will be lost, the fault is that Wen Dai should not be gullible Wen Hou, after learning that Wen Ping had an accident, Wen Dai, who was anxious to know his father's safety, ordered the city gate to be opened, and the city gate was not closed well, so that Liu Beijun, who pretended to be a wounded soldier, took the opportunity to take it, and Wen Dai, who went down to the city to find Wen Hou and inquired about it, also became Liu Beijun's prisoner.

"Brother......

"Don't call me that! My Wen family does not have a disloyal and unrighteous person like you. Wen Dai directly drank Wen Hou's words. Although Wen Dai, Wen Xiu, and Wen Hou have different identities, they have a very close relationship on weekdays. Wen Dai is Wen Ping's parent, Wen Xiu is Wen Ping's son, as for Wen Hou, don't look at it as just Wen Ping's nephew, but he is usually the most loved by Wen Ping. Today, Wen Hou turned his back on the enemy and defected to the enemy, Wen Dai felt that the Wen family would be humiliated by this, and his hatred for Wen Hou increased a little.

“…… Brother, I have no choice but to do so, if not, my uncle's life is in danger. Wen Hou explained to Wen Dai helplessly.

“…… Wenhou, have you forgotten what my father taught you on a daily basis? Wen Dai listened to Wen Hou's explanation, and his mood eased slightly, but his tone was still indifferent.

"Brother, of course the younger brother hasn't forgotten. It's one thing to not forget, but it's another to be able to do it. To be honest, the elder brother also knows that the younger brother's parents left early, and if it wasn't for the uncle to take him in, the younger brother would not be where he is today. But it is precisely because of this that the younger brother must not ignore his uncle's life and death. ”

“…… What is my father doing now? Wen Dai was silent for a while and asked out loud.

"I don't know. When the ambush was defeated before, the younger brother had seen his uncle once, but at that time the uncle was already unconscious, and if he could not be treated in time, he would definitely die. After that, the younger brother came to Jiangling with Zhang Fei, whether the uncle was safe or not, the younger brother was really not there. Wen Hou replied helplessly.

“…… Why was it defeated? Remember the earlier news that you sent back said that everything was going well? Wen Dai frowned and asked.

It's good that Wen Dai didn't mention this matter, but Wen Hou was angry when he mentioned it, and couldn't help but scold: "It's not the bad thing of Wei Yan who is greedy for merit, if it weren't for saving him, my uncle wouldn't have fallen into Liu Beijun's ambush." ”

"Wei Yan......" Wen Dai couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard Wen Hou mention Wei Yan.

Wei Yan's popularity in Jiangling is not very good, probably because he has never met a talent back then, after being reused by the imperial court, Wei Yan always likes to compete for the first place in everything, but in this way, it is easy to give people a feeling of competing for merit.

As the head of the Wen family, Wen Ping understands very well why Wei Yan is like this, but Wen Dai is young after all, and he is not like Wei Yan who is young because of his bad background and has no way to serve the country, and it is understandable that he does not understand Wei Yan.

"What the hell did that shaft do? I cheated the people of my Wen family. Wen Dai asked.

“…… He wanted to assassinate Liu Bei, but the assassinated Liu Bei was fake, and he also exposed his whereabouts because of the assassination, but asked Liu Beijun to surround him on a lonely mountain. When my uncle learned about it, he immediately led his troops to meet him. I don't want Liu Beijun to kill Wei Yan immediately, the purpose is to wait for my uncle to lead someone into the net, and when my uncle goes, he will be ambushed by Liu Beijun......" Wen Hou was still a little angry when he mentioned this.

Wen Dai was silent for a moment after hearing this, and asked slowly, "Wen Hou, when you last saw your father, did your father talk to you?" ”

"No, my uncle was already in a coma at that time, and due to excessive blood loss, he could die at any time. Brother, the younger brother does not regret his choice, as long as the uncle is safe, he is willing to die now. ”

“…… How is Wei Yan doing now? Did he also become a prisoner of Liu Beijun? Wen Dai asked again.

"No, Wei Yan fought to the death and did not surrender, and finally died of exhaustion."

“…… It's still a bit bloody. Wen Dai didn't say anything more after saying this, didn't look at Wen Hou, closed his eyes and ignored anyone. Wen Hou didn't dare to say much when he saw this, and stayed aside honestly.

After waiting for a while, someone's footsteps came, Wen Dai opened his eyes and found that it was Liu Bei, and immediately asked, "Liu Bei, where is my father now?" ”

"General Wen is fine, the little general doesn't have to worry." Liu Bei replied with a smile. After taking Jiangling City, Liu Bei didn't feel anything, but the large amount of materials captured made Liu Bei happy. Jiangling can't hold it, this is Liu Bei's true thoughts in his heart. Don't look at Jiangling at this time, it fell into Liu Bei's hands, but as long as the imperial army went south, Liu Bei would immediately slap his ass and leave.

Not a power-level opponent, being able to harvest so many supplies is already a surprise. The only thing that makes Liu Bei regret is that he left Xu Shu, if he can capture Xu Shu alive, even if he can't use it for himself, he can make the court lose another talent. Liu Bei believed that Xu Shu was hiding somewhere in the city right now, and if he ordered the whole city, it would not be impossible to find Xu Shu. It's just that what Liu Bei lacks at the moment is time, and it is impossible for the Han'an army, which is a horn with Jiangling, to sit idly by and watch the loss of Jiangling City, although Li Yan took Xing Daorong to intercept and buy time for Liu Bei, but when the Han'an army will rush to Jiangling, Liu Bei really has no bottom in his heart.

Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, Liu Bei does not want to affect the good results in front of him because of his greed, so after seizing the treasury of Jiangling, Liu Bei began to organize people to carry the money and grain in the treasury, as much as they can take, it is best to empty it in one go, if it is really impossible to move, then it will not be able to recapture the Han army if it is burned.

Liu Bei is the boss, and Liu Bei naturally doesn't need to do things like moving materials himself, as long as he orders his subordinates to do it. After appointing someone to be in charge of this matter, Liu Bei was temporarily idle, and he also had time to visit Wen Dai, the prisoner of the war.

"Little General, now that your father and brothers are on my side, why don't you come over with your family together?" Liu Bei invited. In Liu Bei's eyes, Wen Dai is a young and handsome man, if he can be recruited over, then there will be one more available person around him.

And Wen Dai couldn't help sneering after listening to Liu Bei's proposal: "Liu Bei, my brother I saw it, but I don't know what happened to my father now." Is it too early for you to want to recruit me now? ”

"Huh...... If the little general is worried about General Wen's safety, there is no need, after the careful care of our army, although he is still unable to move at this time, he has regained consciousness. If the little general wants to meet General Wen, he only needs to return to Jingnan with me. Liu Bei smiled when he heard this.

“…… Okay, then I'll live a little longer. Wen Dai thought about it and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to loosen Wen Dai's bonds, and handed over the task of taking care of Wen Dai to Wen Hou, and then turned around and left. Liu Bei is very confident in recruiting Wen Dai. It's not that he has confidence in himself, but that he has confidence in the talent he has hired to pretend to be a clerk.

Masters have been mostly hidden in the folk since ancient times, and this master is also different, and the abilities he is good at are also varied. The person Liu Bei found to pretend to be a writer is a master who is extremely good at imitating others. This person was originally a performer who ran the rivers and lakes, his surname was Jia, and no one mentioned his name, and everyone who knew him called him Jia. Jia was seen by Liu Bei, who happened to be passing by, during a performance, and was immediately interested, so he took this person under his command.

The real Wen Ping actually died a long time ago because of his injuries, but when he died, Wen Hou had already become Liu Bei's prisoner, so he didn't know Wen Ping's life and death. After seeing the unconscious Wen Hir, who was pretended to be by Jia Jiangshi, who was proficient in disguise techniques, Wen Hou, who was concerned about the chaos, also thought that Wen Ping was still alive. In order to save his uncle's life, Wen Hou had to lead the crowd to surrender to Liu Bei.
