Chapter 269: The Anomaly of the South
Wang Shouren didn't pay attention to the dripping rain, and said with a smile: "How can you not count, you and I plus Brother Cao, but there is a gentleman's agreement, otherwise with the situation at the time, do you think I will let you and Xue Li leave?" You must know that you have slain, but it is my father-in-law's son-in-law. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
King Li smiled and said, "Since Brother Bo'an keeps his promise, then please wait in the city, and in a few days, I will go there in person and talk to you again." ”
Wang Shouren suddenly grinned and said, "Could it be that Brother Li really thinks he has won?" ”
King Li said firmly: "If you don't have all the preparations, how dare you boast of Haikou." ”
Wang Shouren said suddenly: "In this case, then I will sweep the bed and wait for Brother Li to come." ”
The two drove their horses back at the same time, the city gate was closed again, and the gentleman's agreement naturally could not be assassinated, Wang Shouren is a gentleman, but King Li is really not counted, but for Wang Shouren, it is rare to be a gentleman.
Li Wang stood on the chariot, and in the car behind him was Xiao Qiao, and Li Wang was not worried about the two daughters, so he also brought them with him, for fear that their women's identities would be inconvenient.
Drawing the sword to the sky, a thunder at the end of spring exploded at dusk, so frightened that King Li pressed the sword down, this sword is cast in bronze, and it is not good to die under the butcher's knife, but it is a big game to give the head under the power of heaven.
Quickly lifted his breath, raised his momentum again, and shouted: "Charge." ”
As soon as the words fell, the banner soldiers in front of the car raised the red flag, and the banner soldiers who were waiting in all directions followed suit, got the order, and the soldiers rushed over under the leadership of the general.
Wang Shouren's order can only be defended, the original 50,000 troops also transferred 30,000 to Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others who went to Caoyang in the rope pool, and he only left 20,000 people, plus the natural danger of Hangu Pass, he will definitely be able to defend for a period of time, as long as Li Jing's army forcibly lands, the danger of the rope pool is naturally worse, and it cannot be relaxed.
Speaking of which, most of the generals under Wang Shouren's command are from Lu Bu's original team, including none of the eight strong generals.
This person at the end of the Han Dynasty likes to use eight and five to name the generals under his command (in fact, it is romance or wild history), such as Han Sui's eight generals, Ma Chao and Lu Bu's eight strong generals, and Liu Bei's five tiger generals, Cao Cao's five good generals, this is an honor, not an official position, so there is no need to confuse.
The first siege was just a tentative attack, both sides were more cautious, King Li concentrated on attacking the city gate, the archers covered, the battle lasted less than an hour before the battle was temporarily stopped, the spring rain should not be so big, maybe it was not used to life and death, so it came out to hinder.
The casualties on both sides were only hundreds, and they did not mention the meeting to fight again after the rain.
Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Big brother, there is an urgent report from the south. ”
Yuwen Chengdu took the document and handed it to King Li with his own hands.
After a while, King Li sighed and said: "The Central Plains is in war, and the south is also surrounded by haze, and the lives of the world are in misery, when can I seek a glimmer of life for the people." ”
Everyone passed on each other, and it turned out that Liu Zhang took advantage of the battle in Jingnan to raise 40,000 troops, attacked Fancheng and Yiling in two ways, and fought Lianke all the way, forcing Liu Biao to close the defense line and station large armies in Xinye and Jiangling, which also seemed a little weaker to the war in Jingnan.
And Changsha County in Jingnan, the twelve counties under the rule were broken one after another, and now only the county governance Linxiang is still under the control of Liu Biao, Huang Zu took the opportunity to cut off the connection with a small part of Jingnan, and held the gate of Jiangxia and other places to buy time for the front line of Liu Zhang's army.
But it is very weird, Li Shimin is not in a hurry, and he is not very concerned about the siege of the city, although he has limited troops, but it is not difficult to take the weak townships and counties, which is really puzzling.
But there was a piece of news that caught the attention of King Li, and Sun Jian attacked the Shi clan.
The first is the several major families in Moling, and many people were arrested in one day because of big and small things, and the reasons are very mottled, some robbed the people's daughters, some killed people on the street, and even cheated and were caught, and they made a lot of lives, these seem to be different, but in fact they have a lot in common, that is, they hurt people's lives, and they are all descendants of the Shi family.
The prison in Moling imprisoned dozens of children of the scholar clan, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of most of the scholars, but they did not dare to go against Sun Jian, who had heavy troops, and their respective patriarchs brought gifts and visited them, but without exception, they were all closed by Sun Jian.
Moling was full of suspicion, and just three days later, a total of 11 scholars were resentful, gathered nearly 2,000 people, stormed the prison, and wanted to rescue all the descendants of their clan, but they were all wiped out by the army that had already been ambushed in it.
Sun Jian, who was furious, had a reason to raid the official residences of these people, and by the way, some connected scholars were not spared, and they were punished together, and more than 2,000 people were escorted to the East City Gate, except for some good people who came to watch, no one else dared to come, and they were slashed for two days and one night, and the East City Gate was stained red with blood, almost becoming a dead place, even after five days, no one dared to enter and exit from this gate, even if it was a detour, it didn't matter.
King Li frowned and said, "I'm afraid Sun Jian is going to suffer this time." ”
Jia Xu continued: "I don't know who gave him the idea, his heart can be punished, even if we occupy the fame, we can only peel off the cocoon, slowly figure it out, this Sun Jian is too anxious." ”
King Li's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of someone, could it be his idea?
Lifting the pen to write and draw on the silk paper, Li Wang at this time is no longer the self he was four years ago, and the brush under his hand does not say that the pen walks the dragon and snake, but also looks decent, which is the result of hard practice.
Raised the silk paper and blew it, the most troublesome thing about the brush is that it will take a while to dry, turned around and handed it to Yuwen Chengdu and said: "Bring this envelope skin, and order someone to hand it over to Sun Jian quickly." ”
Yuwen Chengdu said yes, and planned to go down to arrange it later.
Jia Xu suddenly said: "Could it be that the lord wants to save Sun Jian's life?" ”
King Li nodded and said: "A few years ago, Sun Jian was kind to me, whether I can save it today or not, I can only do what I can, it's all in his thoughts." ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The lord's move is to repay the favor, I understand, but I don't understand why I want to hand over the letter to Sun Jian, his temperament lord should know better." ”
Li Wang was stunned, but as he said, not to mention whether he listened to his own persuasion or not, and his temperament would not be afraid of the backlash of the scholars, he hurriedly turned around and said: "Chengdu, this letter cannot be handed over to Sun Jian, but handed over to ......" King Li was stunned, it seems that there are few people in Jiangdong who rebel against Sun Jian's idea, who can persuade him?
Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's good that the lord wants to have a good fate, this person does have one person in Jiangdong, that is, his second wife, Mrs. Wu, who is more virtuous and respected than her sister, Sun Jian's wife, even in the entire system of Jiangdong, no one dares to disobey her, and she is deeply loved by all the soldiers. ”
Mrs. Wu, King Li suddenly realized, it was mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Sun Ce and Sun Quan were very in awe of this person, even if it was the later Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu, she also needed to consider her opinion, and she was indeed the best candidate.
King Li nodded and said: "Go, Sun Ce and I also have a relationship, and I also came to congratulate on my wedding day, send someone through his door, and be sure to hand over this letter to Mrs. Wu." ”
"The last will obey."
