Chapter 169: Jing's Violent Death
Zhang Xiang has been in contact with the Xianbei people for a long time, so he is familiar with the forces of many Xianbei people, and the internal fighting between the Xianbei people is very strong, and every day there will be small tribes perishing, and many small tribes will rise.
These small tribes that were destroyed were the targets chosen by Zhang Xiang, and he recruited a large number of these scattered Xianbei people to serve him, these people did not need much training at all, and they were elite cavalrymen on horseback.
And the people who can survive the tribal war all have two brushes, these scattered Xianbei people don't seem to be many, but there are quite a few people in the collection? So now Zhang Xiang has more than 3,000 Xianbei cavalry under his hands.
These Xianbei people are used to Zhang Xiang's life here, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, as long as they fight for Zhang Xiang, it can be said that Zhang Xiang raised a very brave Xianbei vicious dog.
Zhang Xiang's side is in full swing, but Gongsun Zhan's side is about to fail, and he was defeated by Yuan Shao, so he could only retreat to Youzhou, but Liu Yu began to fall into the well for Gongsun Zhan.
Liu Yu's reputation in Youzhou was as high as that of Gongsun Zhan, and he let out the wind to say that Gongsun Zhan was reckless and disregarded the people of Youzhou, so he provoked the army of Jizhou, and now the people of Youzhou are detached from Gongsun Zhan.
Therefore, the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu is becoming more and more stiff, Gongsun Chan has lost a lot of horses because of the defeat on the battlefield, and Youzhou is so many adults, so Gongsun Chan is going to attack Liu Yu, and the two sides are tense.
At this time, Yu Zeng found Liu Xing, "Son, we can't stay like this, since the lord doesn't let Childe participate in government affairs, why don't we get involved in military power." Of course, Liu Xing would not agree to be cowardly.
Yu Zeng can only continue to persuade: "Childe, you have now received the attention of the lord, but the lord is not the only son of you, many people are staring at the position of the lord, our brother follows you not for peace of mind, but for money, if the son really can't do it, we have to vote for others, although the son has the support of the master's mother Jing, but Jing's mind Childe should also know that if the son is willing to be a puppet, then he should not say it." ”
Liu Xing: "Yu Zeng, you are forcing me, I don't understand why you and my mother chose me, I just want to be a rich man with peace of mind, I can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life, I don't want to get my father's position at all." ”
Yu Zeng: "Son, tell you the truth!" It's because you don't want us to choose you, don't fight or fight for the son don't have to choose at all, this is something you were born to decide, because the son does not fight, so many people are willing to fight for the son, as long as the son fights for those of us who follow will get greater benefits, not fighting can only mean death in the end. ”
A dead word said what Liu Xing had been avoiding, "Even if I want to fight, I don't have that ability!" Liu Xing also accepted his fate, since he couldn't retreat, he had to fight.
Yu Zeng: "Childe has us and the Jing family, but we and Childe are actually not all the way, we want to make a profit, but the Jing family wants to control Childe, to achieve the goal of seeking Youzhou, we will not always accompany Childe, so we must get involved in military power to protect ourselves." ”
Liu Xing burst out of courage for the first time and went to the state capital to see Liu Yu, "Father, I want to join the army." Liu Xing's character Liu Yu knows very well that joining the army must not be Liu Xing's idea.
"Wake up, why did you join the army, who asked you to come?" Liu Yu had already guessed that it was either Jing's or Yu Zeng's behind this matter, but the meaning of these two people was completely different.
If it is the Jing family, then it means that the Jing family is already planning to reach out to themselves, if it is Yu Zeng, it will be simpler, of course Liu Xing will not say that Yu Zeng asked him to come, that will only make his father more disappointed.
Liu Xing may have a lot of shortcomings, but he is indeed a good son, he doesn't want to disappoint Liu Yu, "Father is coming by myself, the child wants to share his father's worries when he is older, and he doesn't want to be so cowardly." ”
Liu Yu: "Joining the army is not child's play, is it not afraid of the awakening of the dead?" Although you are my Liu Yu's son, I will not take special care of you, and you can still have no worries about food and clothing if you stay at home. ”
Liu Xing: "Of course I'm afraid of children, children don't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone?" But the child is more afraid of staying at home, and he is too tired to face the brothers and children at home. ”
Liu Yu understood what Liu Xing was talking about, and he also came over like this, and couldn't help but feel a little empathetic, "Okay then!" I know, tomorrow you go to the army to report! ”
After Liu Xing left, Liu Yu found Yu Zeng, "Do you know that Gongzi is going to join the army?" Why does Xing'er have such thoughts? "Liu Yu actually trusted Yu Zeng through the last incident, so he asked Yu Zeng about it.
Yu Zeng naturally wouldn't tell Liu Yu the truth, "This subordinate knows that it seems that the Jing family is making trouble, but the subordinate has no objection, joining the army is not necessarily a good thing for the son except for being dangerous." ”
Liu Yu knew the answer he wanted, and it was really the Jing family, it seemed that the Jing family had become restless, "Yu Zeng, you will bring someone to join the army with Gongzi tomorrow, remember to keep Gongzi's safety." ”
Liu Yu saw Yu Zeng nod and let him go down, recently his relationship with Gongsun Zhan has become more and more tense, and a big war may break out at any time, it is indeed not a wise move to let Liu Xing join the army at this time.
But Liu Yu felt that what Yu Zeng said was very right, and left the Jing family to say to Liu Xingxing that it would be beneficial and harmless, and Liu Yu suddenly felt that he could not tolerate the Jing family anymore, so Liu Yu decided to attack the Jing family first.
Liu Yu put down what he was doing and went to find Jing's, but unfortunately he saw a picture he didn't want to see, Jing's was actually messing around with a man in the room, and Liu Yu suddenly felt that his head was green.
Jing would never have thought that Liu Yu would come, he followed Liu Yu for all these years, Liu Yu rarely came to her room, but Jing was like a wolf and a tiger, so he naturally couldn't stand the loneliness of the boudoir.
Liu Yu and Jing's husband and wife relationship has long existed in name only, and Jing doesn't feel sorry for Liu Yu for doing this, but when Liu Yu broke into her room, she felt ashamed.
Liu Yu: "It's really a good woman in the Jing family, I will kill you two dogs and men today, and I will vent the hatred in my heart." "How can Jing and his little white face fight against Liu Yu with a sword in his hand?
In the end, both fell in a pool of blood, Liu Yu looked at Jing's corpse and suddenly felt old, and the next day the news of Jing's violent death came out, and Zhang Xiang also received the news, although Zhang Xiang didn't know what happened, but Jing's death disrupted Zhang Xiang's plan.
The Jing family is an indispensable part of his plan, if there is no Jing family, the Jing family cannot support Liu Xing, then Liu Xing's subordinates only have the power of Yu Zeng's side, and it seems that the power has become greater.
But in fact, the strength is weak, it has become very difficult to support Liu Xing to the top, and Zhang Xiang can't give Yu too much support, Liu Yu's spies are not blind, and Liu Yu's eyeliner can be all over the territory in Youzhou.
Zhang Xiang doesn't like such a sudden thing the most, and now there is only one way for Liu Yu to die, only when Liu Yu dies will Youzhou become chaotic, and Zhang Xiang can fish in troubled waters.
It turned out that Zhang Xiang's plan was to protect Liu Yu first, and then be a peacemaker, so that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan could temporarily unite and fight against Yuan Shao together, so as to support Yuan Shao's offensive pace and buy time for himself.
Yu Zeng cannibalized Liu Yu's forces through Liu Xing's relationship, and the balance between Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao will be broken one day, and once it is broken, it will be Zhang Xiang's opportunity, and he can unite with Yu Zeng to attack Youzhou together.
But now it seems that he can only give up Youzhou cheap Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiang plans to devour Liu Yu's troops first, so Liu Yu can't live, Liu Yu is a literati, so he attaches great importance to his own safety.
The people around Liu Yu are all his cronies, and Yu Zeng can do it, after all, he initially gained Liu Yu's trust, but Yu Zeng can't make a move, otherwise Zhang Xiang will not be able to devour Liu Yu's troops.
So this matter can only be done by Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan does have the ambition to seize Youzhou, but he doesn't want to kill Liu Yu, Zhang Xiang suddenly regretted what he said to Gongsun Zhan.
Things have developed so far but they are self-inflicted, and now it is much more troublesome to let Gongsun Chan kill Liu Yu, Zhang Xiang used his relationship in Wuheng to let the Wuheng people start to rob Gongsun Chan's territory.
Gongsun Zhan thought that the Wuheng people were instructed by Liu Yu, so they also attacked Liu Yu in advance, Liu Yu naturally couldn't sit still, the two sides finally went to war, and Yu Zeng took the opportunity to establish meritorious service in Liu Yu's army.
Most of Liu Yu's generals are Hu generals, so the status of Hu people in the army is higher than that of Han people, and the appearance of Yu Zeng made Han people take refuge one after another, and Yu Zeng fought Liu Xing's name after all.
Therefore, Liu Yu was very indulgent to Yu Zeng's matter of winning over the sergeants of the army, and another reason was that Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated against Yuan Shao, but he won a great victory in the battle against Liu Yu.
Liu Yu now needs a general like Yu Zeng very much, even if he wants to pursue it, he will have to wait until he repells Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu also wrote a letter to Zhang Xiang, asking Zhang Xiang to support him against Gongsun Zhan.
Zhang Xiang didn't contribute this time, and stopped the army at the border of Youzhou, but he didn't cross the border at a single step, even so Zhang Xiang also played a supporting role, and Gongsun Zan still left some soldiers to guard against Zhang Xiang.
Gongsun Chan transferred some troops, and Liu Yu's pressure on the battlefield was naturally less, and Yu Zeng also took the opportunity to perform, and he also worked hard in the battle with Gongsun Zhan, so Liu Yu promoted Yu Zeng.
But it's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Gongsun Chan also sent his only remaining white horse Yicong to the battlefield in order to quickly fight, and one of the white horse generals was very powerful, and Liu Yu was defeated and retreated.
When Zhang Xiang heard the news, he knew that it was Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiang didn't expect Zhao Yun to still be under the command of Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Xiang wrote a letter to remind Yu Zeng not to fight head-on with the white horse general.
In fact, Yu Zeng will do this without Zhang Xiang saying it, Yu Zeng's biggest advantage is forbearance, he has long seen that the white horse is not simple, he is not his opponent at all, and he may not be able to withstand three rounds.
Yu Zeng didn't do anything to die, but unfortunately Liu Yu let Yu Zeng fight at this time, Zhang Xiang had already mentioned in the letter that Yu Zeng could act cheaply, and Yu Zeng felt that it was time.
If you don't do it, you may die on the battlefield tomorrow, Yu Zeng suddenly found Liu Xing, "Childe, it seems that we should withdraw, the battlefield is no longer a place to stay for a long time." ”
"This group has already mentioned it to my father, but my father doesn't agree, and I can't help it." Liu Xing thought that Yu Zeng wanted Liu Yu to retreat, after all, this matter has been very common in the army recently.
Yu Zeng: "Gongzi is not talking about the lord, but Gongzi and me, the subordinates have already controlled some of the people in the army, as long as we return to Jixian County, the subordinates will have the ability to support the son." ”
Because there are no outsiders now, Yu Zeng said that Liu Xing did not doubt his intentions, "Now that the foreign enemy is current, we trust our father's hind legs, which doesn't seem to be good!" ”
Yu Zeng: "Gongzi forgive his subordinates bluntly, we will definitely lose this battle, even if we want to make peace, it is difficult for us, so we better plan early, it will be really late if we don't leave." (To be continued.) )
