Chapter 450: Revenge
Liu Yu's speech made the people of the fishing village indignant at Liu Biao's dispatch to Nanyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, you expressed Yuan Shu as Nanyang Taishou, and let Yuan Shu scourge us like this. If you Liu Biao can recover Nanyang, don't collect it early, if you want to send troops to recover Nanyang today, let us live a good life. Are you Liu Biao sending troops again? If you make us your people, you may be abandoned again one day.
Naturally, the people couldn't think of going up at this level, but they were all inspired by Liu Yu to resentment in their hearts. In addition, Liu Yu is quite famous in the area of Deng County, and in the fishing village, his prestige is even more echoed, even if there is no such thing, it is not impossible for Liu Yu to borrow them to take Fancheng.
A person like Liu Yu will naturally not be willing to be mediocre, if he pushes forward four or five years in the days of chaos, maybe he will become a hegemon like Liu Bei. It's just that now, the timing of Liu Yu's chaotic entry is really not good, and the territory is occupied by the princes, that is, Liu Yu has monstrous ability, and it is difficult to start in a short time.
Liu Yu is a smart person, and he can also see that Liu Wei has a faint tendency to dominate the world. He simply defected to Liu Wei, to be a member of the Han family, and to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty with his own ability.
Although Liu Yu abolished the emperor and established himself as the emperor in another time and space, he was not born with a backbone. At that time, the emperor was incompetent, and he fought step by step to the point where the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and if he did not stand on his own, he would not have succeeded.
And now, not to mention the endless emergence of capable people and generals under Liu Bian, it is impossible for Liu Yu to want power to tilt towards the government and the opposition. And Liu Wei is now a Ming Jun, Liu Yu will not oppose it, and Liu Wei knows Liu Yu's existence, even if he trusts it, he will secretly be vigilant, and Liu Yu has no chance to rebel.
Since Liu Yu is a masterpiece of a generation, most of these people will make a group of confidants and friends, and in an instant, Liu Yu mobilized the people of the fishing village. After careful counting, there are two hundred young and strong. Liu Yu took these two hundred young men and went straight to Fancheng along the river.
Fancheng and Xiangyang are separated by a Xiangjiang River, the two cities face each other across the river, if you find a high place in Fancheng, you can still look at Xiangyang with good eyesight. Liu Yu and Fu Youde knew that time was running out, and after coming to Fancheng, they should let two hundred young men go to control the four gates.
At this time, Fancheng was equivalent to a buffer zone between Jingzhou and Yuan Shu, and Hou Junji did not let people send troops to station, and Liu Biao did not send troops to station. It is equivalent to a three-regardless boundary, and this kind of place is prone to chaos, and chaotic places are easy to form forces, and although Liu Yu is in a fishing village, he is exquisite, and the lords of the forces in the city are all his friends.
Liu Yu asked two hundred young men to go to control the four gates in advance, and found friends in the city, and said the request to defend the city, and everyone immediately agreed.
First, the person who is a confidant dies, and out of righteousness, these people are willing to help Liu Yu. Second, what is it to be powerful and blessed in Fancheng, now Liu Yu wants to take refuge in the Son of Heaven, they follow Liu Yu, and in the future, they will make contributions under the command of the Son of Heaven, so that they are really famous.
With the help of these people, Liu Yuyi counted the number of people, excluding the 200 young people from the fishing village, and more than 1,200 people in Fancheng, a total of 1,500 people. Fancheng is the gateway of Xiangyang, it can be regarded as a strong city, about three zhang high, the city wall is built with bluestone, among the three kingdoms, Cao Ren occupies Fancheng, many times repelled Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, in addition to Cao Ren is good at using soldiers, there is also a point by virtue of the strength of Fancheng.
It's just that although Fancheng is strong, these forces in the city are not armies, and there are no supplies for the army. Liu Yu, Fu Youde, and the lords of the forces discussed at the head of the city, and Liu Yu asked, "How many weapons, bows and arrows are there in the city?"
"This, as for weapons, we do have some, but most of them are short knives for slashing and slashing. But there were only five hundred bows and arrows, and I am afraid that there were only a few thousand. One replied.
Liu Yu looked at Fu Youde and said, "How about it, with these things, can you be sure to defend the city?"
Fu Youde nodded slightly solemnly and said, "As long as you eat enough, it is not a big problem to hold Fancheng for a few days." Weapons such as knives and guns were distributed to those who were good at fighting, and bows and arrows were distributed to those who were good at archery. As for the rolling stones and rolling wood, I saw that there were many abandoned houses in the city, which could be demolished by the people and used to defend the city! In addition, he sent people to set up a hot pot in the city and boil the gold juice. ”
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Fu thinks about everything, and he really has the ability to defend the city." Then we will divide 250 people on each side of the tower to defend the city, and the other 500 people will be used to transport supplies and replace the wounded and tired defenders on the tower. You and I, I guard the south gate and the west gate, and you guard the north gate and the east gate. ”
"Opposite the south gate is Xiangyang, I'm afraid the pressure is the greatest, or I guard the south gate, the west gate, you guard the north gate, the east gate." Fu Youde shook his head and said.
"If you are not injured, I will definitely agree, but your injuries have not healed now, so you should not fight too hard, if I can't hold on, I will replace you at the south gate!" Liu Yu shook his head and refused.
"It's good!" Fu Youde groaned and nodded in agreement.
So fifteen hundred men were at the gates, and a thousand men were used to defend the city, and the other five hundred were busy, some distributing weapons, others demolishing abandoned houses in the city, and sending the timber and stones they had obtained to the tower for the defense. Others set up cauldrons at the head of the city, and the people brought dung to make gold juice.
Liu Yu is in the south and has to take care of the west gate, while Fu Youde is going to the east gate at the moment and takes care of the north gate. After all, if the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou are in the city, the pressure on the south gate is the greatest, Fu Youde is thoughtful, he did not go to the north gate, but stationed at the east gate, if there is a change in the south gate, he will soon be able to come to support.
Everything was ready, and the soldiers and horses above the city were in place, two hundred and fifty men from each gate, all armed with machetes. There were 500 pairs of bows in the city, and because Liu Yu's side was under the greatest pressure, the people were divided into two hundred, and the other three gates were only one hundred. Other people were also carrying stones and rolling wood, and Liu Yu ordered the people to dismantle the door panels and use them as shields. In ancient times, the door panel could be disassembled and assembled at will, but it was a little heavy, but it was not too troublesome.
After everything was arranged, Liu Yu took a deep breath and looked south, only to see a group of boats slowly coming on the surface of the Xiangjiang River. The Jingzhou soldiers are armed with weapons and wear battle armor, but they are mighty. is the first general, and behind him stands a banner of words.
"It's a clerk!" Liu Yu looked at the big banner, knew the identity of the general, and muttered: "He directly led three thousand elite soldiers to come, planning to go down to Fancheng first and block the news of the Jingzhou army's mobilization." Fortunately, they did not carry siege things, and they could not take Fancheng in a short time with only 3,000 men. ”
The people on the city tower were a little nervous when they saw the Jingzhou army, although they were the forces in the city, they were far inferior to the real army. Seeing this, Liu Yu said loudly: "Don't be afraid, their vanguard is only 3,000, and they can't take Fancheng in a short time, if they wait for the main force of Jingzhou to be dispatched, it will take a few days, and then the situation here will alarm the Son of Heaven, and we can abandon the city and go north."
The people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but the weapons in their hands showed that they were still very nervous.
Liu Yu looked at the Jingzhou soldiers and horses on the south river, but he was not afraid in his heart, as long as he held Fancheng for a few days, he Liu Yu would be able to shock the world, get the weight of the Son of Heaven, and serve the Han Dynasty in the future.
At the east gate, Fu Youde had just come to the east gate, but when he saw a soldier running in the direction of the north gate, he reported: "Brother Fu, someone at the north gate is calling the door, it's not rampant!"
"Who called the door, and how many soldiers and horses came?" Fu Youde's face changed slightly.
"The person who came rode alone, and he was still wearing Yuan Jun's armor!" The people hurriedly replied.
"Yuan Jun?" Fu Youde hurriedly walked towards the north gate, in his opinion, Yuan Jun came to Fancheng at this time, didn't he ask Liu Biao for help? You might be able to get some important information.
At this time, Lan Yu was very depressed, he fled from Juxian County the night before yesterday, Yuan Jun hated him to the core, and wanted to arrest him for the crime. After all, Fu Youde was killed by him, and Lan Yu was defeated, if Lan Yu escaped, Hou Junji would definitely blame them. Therefore, Yuan Jun was in hot pursuit of Lan Yu.
Lan Yu ran south on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the pursuers, which could be described as embarrassing, and now he was hungry, and the horses were already tired and about to lie down. When he arrived in Fancheng, Lan Yu wanted to go into the city to have a full meal to solve the hunger in his stomach, if he didn't eat, he would die of exhaustion and starvation. Not wanting the north gate of Fancheng to be closed, Lan Yu stepped forward to call the door, but found that the city gate was controlled.
Although Fu Youde and Liu Yu are at the east gate and the other at the south gate, the other two are also guarded by people that Liu Yu can trust, so their talents are naturally not bad. The people guarding the north gate saw that Lan Yu was wearing Yuan Jun battle armor, so they temporarily stabilized Lan Yu and called Fu Youde over.
"Don't open the gates yet? If I want money, open the gates! As soon as Fu Youde arrived at the north gate, he heard the shouts of blue jade under the north gate.
"Sappy!" As soon as Fu Youde heard this voice, his face suddenly became hideous, and he ordered: "Open the city gate!"
Fu Youde himself didn't go to see Lan Yu. Then he turned and went down the gate, and came to the bottom of the city, and rode out of the gate.
And the blue jade under the city, when he saw the city gate open, thought that the people in the city were tempted by money to open the city gate. Even though Lan Yu urged his horse to go in the direction of the city gate, he didn't take a few steps before he saw a long way out of the city gate.
Lan Yu looked at Fu Youde, his body was like being devoured by thunder, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost: "Fu Youde, you are not dead?"
Fu Youde sneered and scolded: "Shameless villain, I treat you as a brother in vain, but you do everything possible to calculate against me, you want me to die, are you dreaming?"
While speaking, Fu Youde rode his horse and speared and took the blue jade directly.
