At this point, is there still a little fighting spirit left?

Chen Ying's shouting did not cheer up Chu Jun. (The Chu people's kind of courage and invincibility in good times and lack of fighting spirit in adversity are undoubtedly highlighted at this moment.) Indifferent to Chen Ying's shouting, they all looked panicked, and some of them couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.

Liu + Guan Ying and others laughed.

Chen Ying's face was swollen and red, and he looked at Liu + viciously.

He suddenly raised his long sword, urged the ** war horse, and shouted: "Qin Dog, I swear to stand with you." ”

Even if I die here today, I must not let you look down on me.

Liu + smiled coldly, knocked the tiger toad with both feet, ** the red rabbit hissed the wind beast, looked up to the sky and hissed, like lightning, and pounced.

Guan Ying and Liu + have been friends for many years, and they are very clear about Liu +'s thoughts.

He held his halberd high and shouted, "Old battalion, charge!" ”

The cavalry of the building cangs shouted in unison, quite long, and the horses charged. The sharp length pierced through the chest of the Chu army, and the dull sound accompanied by the mournful wail of the Chu army echoed over the mountain col. Puffy and fluffy, continuous thrusts, even if they are long, they can't withstand this ferocious force. After the assassination of four or five people, many of the captains of the Loucang cavalry snapped and broke from them.

But these cavalry did not panic. Throw away the long. He drew a long knife that was shiny and bright.

This is also the saber created by Loucang Tielu. It is about four feet long. One-sided striker. Suitable for chopping. The handle of the knife is wound with a coarse cloth. It can prevent contamination after blood. The hand slips out. Knife name: knife. It is also the first batch of weapons in Tieludi. Appears on the battlefield today.

:Knife. Blade flashing. Everywhere you go. Flesh and blood flying.

And Chen Ying and Liu + Ma met each other. Chen Ying didn't say a word. Raise your sword and stab it on your horse.

Liu + smiled slightly. The red flag in the hand is flipped. The sword slammed into the air. "Since the military advisor personally sent it off. I don't even need a glass of water and wine. Leaving in a hurry? If it is preached. Others will say that I Liu + don't know how to be polite...... Come with me to Pengcheng as a guest! ”

Talking. When the two horses misturned. Liu + Qi handed over his left hand. The right hand lightly stretches the ape arm. Pengdi grabbed Chen Yingdi's belt.

With one arm exerted, I heard Chen Ying's exclamation, and the whole person was dragged away from the war horse. Liu + put Chen Ying on the horse's back, raised his left hand, and knocked Chen Ying on the head with the gold of the red flag handle. All of a sudden, Chen Ying fell unconscious, and he didn't know what to do.

Liu + turned the horse's head, "Old Guan,!" ”

Guan Ying nodded, shouted to gather the cavalry, and retreated with Liu + Xun towards the fork of the Tang River.

About half an hour later, Xiang Yu led the cavalry to this mountain pass, only to see dead bodies everywhere......

"Where's the advisor?"

Xiang Yu grabbed a defeated Chu soldier and asked loudly.

"Military Division, Military Division, Military Division was captured by Qin Gouzi!"

"What about Xiao Gongjiao?"

"General Xiao Gongjiao...... was killed by that Liu Ju......"

"Ahhh Xiang Yu was so angry on the horse that he couldn't stop screaming, "What about the soldiers and horses?" Where did all the soldiers and horses under Xiao Gongjiao go? ”

"Major General, Qin Gouzi set up an ambush at the fork of the Tang River and burned the reeds. Our army suffered heavy casualties, and was later intercepted by Qin Gouzi repeatedly, and almost all of them were annihilated...... We're all the ones left, and the rest of us don't know where they live or die, and their whereabouts are unknown! ”

Xiang Yu's head buzzed, and he almost fell off the horse.

That's seven or eight thousand people, how long has it been, and these remnants of the army in front of you are left?

However, there was a hint of pride in his heart: that Chen Ying talked steadily and steadily all day long, and in the end it was not a loss of soldiers?

Even people have been arrested, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me in the future!

This strange thought arose, which startled Xiang Yu.

"Immediately rush to the fork of the Tang River and rescue the military division!"

Even if Chen Ying did not obey military orders and formed a gang in the army. But in any case, since he voted for me, he has been loyal and solved a lot of troubles for me. Now, he has fallen into the hands of Liu +, but I am afraid that he will be more than lucky. I'm going to try to get him back.

However, when Xiang Yu came to the fork of the Tang River, he only saw a sea of fire, and the flames were raging.

The surface of the river was red by the fire, and at a glance, not a single figure of the Qin army could be seen......

―――――――――――――――――

After Liu + led his troops to the fork of the Tang River, he bypassed the reeds and joined Li Cheng's fleet.

More than 100 small boats, divided into several trips, quickly took Liu + and them over the > water, and then on the other side of the river, a fire destroyed the boat.

What will happen if the Chu army wins the building?

Liu+ didn't bother to pay attention to it.

He led the soldiers and horses, day and night, and soon caught up with the convoy in front and reunited with the old lady's family.

After that, the soldiers and horses continued to advance, and after ten days of eating and sleeping in the open, they finally arrived in Pengcheng.

At this time, the early Loucang people have begun to move from Pengcheng to Peixian; After arriving at Peixian County, after some rest, they quickly crossed Zhaoyang Daze and moved closer to Juye. By the time Liu + arrived in Pengcheng, two-thirds of the people had already been transferred.

Lu Shizhi 6 Jia led his troops out of the city to greet them, and when everyone saw each other, they inevitably sighed for a long time.

Ten years of foundation work, just discarded......

6 Jia and their mood is a little better, but Lu Shizhi and others can't help but feel a little sad. But it is also clear that what Liu + did was not wrong.

Isn't it for the sake of the next day?

"Little pig, you've lost a lot of weight, and your complexion has deteriorated a lot."

Liu + put his arm around Lu Shidi's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "I know you're uncomfortable, but don't take it to heart." My brother-in-law promises you that if we can call back one day, I will let you be the first to enter Loucang City......"

Lu Shizhi nodded vigorously and smiled.

"Well, I know you've had a hard time these days.

Now that I'm here, you can rest well...... Ten days later, I have important things for you to do. If you fail, don't blame me for giving credit to someone else. Go see your sister and your parents. Though...... They end

Parents. ”

Lu Wen and his wife were the last to come out with the old lady.

Since giving birth to Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi has not spoken to this old couple.

This couple, although their eyesight is active, but no matter what, they are parents after all. In the last days of the building, Liu + heard Lu say that the husband and wife would often miss Lu Shizhi. After all, he and his wife are under their knees, and now only this one son is left.

Lu Shizhi didn't listen to the words of others, but he listened to Liu + very much.

He nodded, and then as if he remembered something, he pulled Liu + to the side, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, Zhou City sent someone over some time ago to ask when we will withdraw from Surabaya County; He sent a lot of things, and among them, there were twenty women. ”

"Women?"

Lu Shizhi smiled, "All of them are Wu Yue beauties, and they look petite and moving."

I haven't told my second sister yet...... We're going to leave in a few days, these women, brother-in-law, what should we do? ”

"This week!"

Liu + sighed, "He's not giving me a gift, he's giving me trouble!"

I'm not in the mood to think about this right now...... In this way, you go and tell your second sister about this, just say that I said it, leave two women and take care of my mother on the way. Well, leave four more women and send them to your parents, they are not young after all, and they need a few careful people to take care of them after a long journey. Other women, let her watch it, it's really not okay......

I'll find you a daughter-in-law...... Anyway, you're not too young! ”

One sentence made Lu Shizhi's face flush suddenly.

Liu + laughed and walked into the hall of the mansion.

Cao Shen 6 Jia, uncle and grandson Tong Jia Shao and others are all waiting for him.

Jia Shao took out a letter and handed it to Liu +: "Junhou, Bashu has sent a letter......

"Huh? Got in touch with Bashu? ”

Jia Shao smiled slightly, "It's connected, but it's ...... We've died a lot. Fanjun Wu held the Dajiang hub and conquered Changsha County. His subordinates sent more than ten waves of meticulous work in a row, but they failed to break through their Dajiang defense line. Later, he bought Wu's son, and then he successfully entered Bashu...... Now, Miss Man has broken through Ba County and forced the Qin family to the central area.

Tang Li's army moved south, occupied the country, and took Wuchi Road as the boundary, and is currently divided with Yelang State.

Miss Man sent someone to say: If the prince wants to take Henan, I hope you can design a passage to connect with Bashu as soon as possible. ”

It is true that Henan and Bashu are separated from each other, and the road is difficult and dangerous.

Without a stable pathway, it is a troublesome thing......

Liu + thought for a while, "Let's put this matter aside for a while, and then make plans when we get to Jiuyuan County." Jia Shao, you have to try to contact Bashu again, so that Tang Li can speed up the pace of southward advance, and be sure to bring all the following areas under his rule before Guanzhong is breached.

However, this may involve the contradictions of the mountain people, which need to be both soft and hard, and cannot be blindly strong.

As soon as the pass is breached, I want him to immediately stop his southward advance and return to the land of Bashu...... If you don't get it right, there will be a fierce battle. ”

Liu + asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and according to the memories of his later generations, he quickly drew a simple map.

The scope of the map covers the later places of Yunnan and Guizhou, and also includes Myanmar and other regions.

"These areas are very complex, and there are still countless uncivilized barbarians.

In addition, the road is rugged and mountainous...... When the old Tang is attacking, he can win over a group, kill a group, and govern the southern barbarians with the southern barbarians, and stabilize them first. As for other things, once we have established ourselves in Kuhara County, I will try to talk to him about countermeasures. ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

On the one hand, he is confused about how Liu + knows these areas; On the other hand, he secretly thought about Liu +'s 'soft and hard' strategy. However, what really surprised everyone was that Liu + said in an extremely positive tone that Guanzhong would be breached!

"Lord, are you so sure that Guanzhong will be breached?"

Shusun Tong said: "There is Hangu as the gateway in the pass, occupying the danger of mountains and rivers. It took 200 years for the Six Kingdoms to really break through Guanzhong.

Now the rebel army continues to expand, but it breaks through the Guanzhong ......"

"yes, yes!"

Jia Shao said: "I even heard that the Ying clan has transferred Wang Li's soldiers and horses from the north to enter Yanmen Pass and approach Taiyuan County.

Although Zhang Er and Chen Yu have made a lot of progress over there, if they want to resist the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that it will not be an easy thing. ”

Wang Li, is the gate closed?

Liu + Ji Lingling was a chilling cicada, "When will Wang Li enter the Yanmen?" ”

"Detailed report, about thirteen days ago. Now that I'm gathering in Mayi, I'm afraid I'm going to attack at any time.

Wuchen had abandoned most of Taiyuan County, gathered his troops and horses, and stationed in Julu County, preparing to fight to the death with Wang Li's troops. Chen of Daijun and Zhang Er of Handan also mobilized soldiers and horses. But I don't think they have a chance of winning with their current situation. ”

"So, we need to speed things up!"

In Liu +'s memory, Zhang Er and Chen Yu were indeed not Wang Li's opponents.

But it is precisely because of this reason that the reputation of Xiang Yudi, the overlord of Western Chu, has risen.

"Immediately send someone to Pei County, inform Wu Chen Ren Ao, and order them to speed up the evacuation. Before Wang Li conquered Taiyuan, we had to cross the river, cross the Hengshan Mountains, bypass the Great Wall, and enter Beidi County. As soon as we arrived in Northland County, we were in front of us. ”

Although the reason is not clear, everyone responded in unison.

"Prince!"

Shusun Tong seemed to remember something, got up and said, "I want to leave for a while." ”

Liu + was stunned, "Leave? ”

Uncle Sun Tong Zhengse said: "When the prince arrives in Jiuyuan County, there are countless things to face. Internal affairs alone are enough to make the prince unbearable. Although the prince has Cao Shengong to help, he is only one person after all. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Jiuyuan, you need a lot of talents.

I have some good friends who are good at government and know the law.

I'm ready to walk up to one

They went out to help...... If the prince said that there will be chaos in Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will be, and it is necessary to plan early. ”

Cao Shen was on the side, and also nodded lightly in agreement.

After all, the land of Jiuyuan County is vast, and it is far from being comparable to the warehouse. And the population is 20 times that of the warehouse, or even more than 30 times.

Being able to manage the building warehouse does not mean that it will definitely be able to govern Jiuyuan.

More manpower is needed to help, otherwise with Cao Shen alone, I am afraid that he will be exhausted to death.

"In that case, then bother Mr. Lao!"

Liu + waved his hand to his uncle and grandson, "I will send Xiao Ha to accompany Mr. around." He knows Guanzhong very well and is also very alert.

If I have his protection, I can live more or less peacefully in my heart. ”

"That's good!"

Uncle Sun Tong got up, "However, except for Xiaoha, I still need one person to accompany me...... But I don't know, can the prince cut Sima Xi's love? ”

"Sima Xi?"

Liu + looked at his uncle and grandson channel suspiciously: "If Xizi is willing to accompany him, I naturally have no opinion." It's just that I don't quite understand, why did Mr. let Kiko follow? ”

"Without him, I can broaden my horizons along the way.

After Kiko lost an arm, she has been working hard. As far as academics are concerned, Kiko has little to learn. It is necessary to experience all the way and increase knowledge. ”

Liu+ nodded, "If that's the case, I don't have much to say." It's still the same sentence, Kiko is willing, and I naturally agree. ”

Next, everyone discussed the matter for a period of time in the future.

It wasn't until it was getting late that they dispersed. Liu + got up and was about to go to rest, but when he went out of the gate without thinking, he was stopped by someone.

"Prince, stay!"

Liu + followed the sound and looked, it turned out to be Cao Shen.

He walked up to Liu + and bowed, expecting Ai Ai's as if there was something unspeakable.

Liu + couldn't help but be a little strange, "Lao Cao, what do you have to say?" Let's put it bluntly...... You and I have been in fellowship for more than ten years, and in front of outsiders, you call me a prince. But in my heart, you are still the old Cao who drank with me in Peixian Prison back then.

Between brothers, don't talk and say, what's the matter? ”

Cao Shen is a person who is quick to do and not good at words.

Even though he is now a father, he is still the same. He blushed, and it took him a long time before he said, "Ah+, I want to intercede with you." ”

changed the previous title, not called the prince and the lord, but called Liu + the name of the land.

This made Liu +'s heart suddenly feel warm.

At the moment, he put his arm around Cao Shendi's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Old Cao, so dignified, what kind of favor do you ask me for?" Could it be that you did something to bully men and women? ”

"Shh

Cao Shen's face turned even redder, and he said nervously: "Ah +, don't talk nonsense." If my daughter-in-law finds out, she won't let me go easily. ”

Cao Shen is a guy who is afraid of his wife!

This is not a secret in Loucang......

Liu + smiled: "Then what are you asking me for?" ”

"Xiao, Brother Xiao...... Now that you're a prisoner, what are you going to do to him? ”

"You mean, Xiao He?"

Liu + then remembered that Wu Chen had sent someone to report before, saying that when he captured Pei County, he also took Xiao He together.

Wu Chen also said: "Xiao He has the talent of a prime minister, and he can't bear to kill him."

Junhou wants to do great things now, and he needs a figure like Xiao He to help. If the prince agrees, I am willing to persuade Xiao He to surrender. ”

It's just that Liu + was busy with the battle of Loucang at that time and didn't reply.

Later, when the Chu army came to the city, all his attention was on the war, and he unconsciously left Xiao He's affairs behind. Perhaps, Liu + really doesn't know what to do to Xiao He. This person...... It's just that somehow it was left in Pei County?

Today, as soon as Cao Shen mentioned it, Liu + suddenly realized.

Xiao Gui Cao Sui...... The relationship between Xiao He and Cao Shen is like a brother and a master and apprentice. Therefore, it is normal for Cao Shen to intercede.

Liu + thought for a while, "Lao Cao, what do you think I should do with him?" ”

"Brother Xiao is not a wicked person, and when he was in Pei County, he didn't mean to embarrass you...... Some things, just ...... In spite of oneself! ”

Cao Shen blushed, and said softly: "Including this time, he followed Liu Ji to get into trouble, I'm afraid it was also a last resort." He had been to Loucang a few times before, and he also admired Junhou very much. Ah+, speaking of which, we all came out of Pei County, and I hope you will spare his life for the sake of the friendship of fellow villagers. ”

"When did I say I was going to kill him?"

"Huh?"

Liu + looked at Cao Shen in surprise and said softly: "I just don't know, what to say." I have always respected Mr. Siu's character and talents. He was dedicated to the benefit of the villagers in Pei County, and gave up several opportunities for promotion...... It's a pity that there are too many misunderstandings between us. You know, when I left Peixian...... I wanted to ask him to go out of the mountain, but I didn't know how to speak. ”

Cao Shen looked at Liu + in surprise, "Ah +, you mean, you won't kill Mr. Xiao?" ”

"Nerves, like Mr. and other talented people, I haven't had time to ask for advice, how can I say the word 'kill'? In this way, Lao Cao, you will go on my behalf and visit Mr. Xiao in Pei County...... If he is willing to conspire with great things together, Liu + is willing to treat him as a national soldier...... If he doesn't want to help me, I don't embarrass him. I just asked him to be wronged for the time being, and when I evacuated Peixian, I would give him freedom again. ”

Speaking of this, Liu + couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Xiao is talented, it's a pity that he can't be used by me!" ”

"Don't worry, I will go to Pei County and persuade Brother Xiao to come and serve...... If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to...... I will tie him up to you. ”

Looking at Cao Shen's anxious and strange appearance, Liu + couldn't help but laugh.

"In that case, then please!"

After speaking, Liu + gave Cao Shen a deep look.
