As soon as the military discipline is rectified, the efficiency is much higher. But on the 8th, they rushed to Chongcheng, according to Liu Fa's idea, it was very good to arrive on the 10th, Liu Fa first arrived in the Chongcheng City Lord's Mansion, at this time Geng Changwei was in the mansion, these days, he was also very distressed, the barbarians tore their faces, and actually attacked the South Prison, the South Prison was negligent in defense, and they were also caught off guard, he did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, but there were three places to defend, which really gave him a headache. At this time, seeing Liu Fa coming in, Geng Changwei also greeted him with a smile, he had always been tactful, but he didn't give Liu Fa eye medicine, but Qin Tianzhao was cold, and he didn't give Liu Fa a good look at all.

In fact, An Qiusheng was also rushing to the city at this time, and his speed was also extremely fast, not slower than Liu Fa at all, but the place he had to guard was Guangping Straight Road, which was a chore, he thought about waiting for Qin Tianzhao here, and Qin Tianzhao totaled it, but as soon as he entered Chongcheng, he saw the people under Liu Fan's hands, and he rolled his eyes and had a new idea.

There is not much grain and grass in Liu Fa's army, this time he wanted to come here to get some grain and grass, Geng Changwei also thought, it would be good to send him away as soon as possible, and when he was talking about grain and grass, Geng Changwei was almost about to agree, but while the two were talking, Geng Changwei's subordinates came over and whispered that An Qiusheng was here. Geng Changwei smiled apologetically at Liu Fa and walked out with his subordinates.

Geng Changwei saw An Qiusheng as soon as he left the house, he smiled and walked towards An Qiusheng. An Qiusheng was also overjoyed when he saw Geng Changwei, and hurriedly walked to Geng Changwei's side to give a deep salute: "Uncle Geng, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

Chapter 106

"Haha, Qiusheng, why are you here, you haven't come to see my old man for a long time!" Geng Changwei looked at An Qiusheng and patted him on the shoulder, An Qiusheng and his daughter were childhood sweethearts since childhood, he also grew up watching by himself, so he naturally liked it.

An Qiusheng laughed, and then said tentatively: "Uncle Geng, is this busy?" In fact, he already knew that Liu Fa was in Geng Chang's mansion at this time, but he just pretended not to know.

Geng Changwei was an old man, looked at An Qiusheng, and said with a smile: "Boy, if you have anything, just say it directly, what else is there to sell in front of my old man." ”

An Qiusheng smiled awkwardly, and then said with a straight face: "Uncle, did Liu Fa arrive in Chongcheng?" ”

Geng Changwei nodded: "You're quite well-informed, what's wrong?" ”

"Liu Fa is here, I don't know what is going on?" Qin Wen just ordered him to go to Guangping Straight, because the urging was tight, he could only come over early, and naturally he didn't know what happened later.

Looking at the door, Geng Changwei patted him on the shoulder: "Come in with me first, this is not a place to talk, there are many people!" As he spoke, he entered the City Lord's Mansion first. After Geng Changwei went in, he told the things one by one, which made An Qiusheng frown when he heard it. He was at odds with Liu Fan, and the injury on his right arm was not good at this time, and he couldn't hold a knife, so he naturally held a grudge, not to mention that Qin Wen's attitude was very strange now, which really made An Qiusheng scratch his head, Geng Changwei was not an outsider, and An Qiusheng explained things clearly one by one.

Geng Changwei saw An Qiusheng's wound at this time, and his face was clouded at that time, An Qiusheng's father An Luyuan had been friends with him for eight years, Geng Changwei was also very fond of this nephew, not to mention that An Qiusheng and her daughter had been engaged since childhood, so he naturally wanted to vent his anger for An Qiusheng.

The South Prison is not monolithic, although it has been managed well by Qin Wen over the years, it is not completely in Qin Wen's control, but there are three-quarters of the place in the South Prison, Qin Wen has the absolute right to speak, although Geng Changwei is loyal to Qin Wen, but he is not so good to Liu Fan, not to mention that Liu Fan also injured his prospective son-in-law, but the grain and grass cannot but be given to Liu Fan.

Geng Changwei suddenly looked at An Qiusheng: "Is Tianzhao here?" ”

An Qiusheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Not yet, but it's only a matter of a day or two." ”

Qin Tianzhao will be able to arrive soon, Geng Changwei will also have an idea immediately, in a day or two, the lord of the city will want Qin Tianzhao to do it, he only needs to delay it for a few days, thinking of this, he comforted An Qiusheng first, and immediately returned to the front hall, as if nothing had happened, his face smiled apologetically at Liu Fa as usual: "General Liu, I'm sorry, the military has been busy these days, and these barbarians are really good at picking time." ”

Liu Fa smiled, Geng Changwei was not an ordinary person, he didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately stood up: "The general is serious, I don't know what I said about the grain and grass......" Liu Fa stopped here and looked at Geng Changwei with hope.

Geng Changwei was bent on delaying until Qin Tianzhao arrived, how could he agree to Liu Fa, but his face was a little difficult, after thinking about it, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "General Liu, it's not that I won't help you, it's still a little difficult to dispatch grain and grass now, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

Liu Fa just arrived, and he didn't understand the matter, but the food and grass in the army were less than seven days, Liu Xiaolong was already a little anxious in the past few days, but when he heard Geng Changwei say this, he had nothing to do, so he could only continue to ask: "How long will it take?" ”

Geng Changwei smiled: "The general doesn't have to be in a hurry, within three days, I will definitely find a way to send grain and grass to your army." ”

Liu Fa is also very happy, and his impression of Geng Changwei is much better, how to say that he is also a powerful character in the Southern Prison, without any shelf, Liu Fa respects him very much, but if Liu Fa knows that Geng Changwei is delaying time, it will be another story.

Geng Changwei politely sent Liu Fa out of the mansion, and Liu Fa was also ready to return to the place where the garrison outside the city was located, and just walked out of the city lord's mansion not far away, Han Ju quietly walked to Liu Fa's side and said to Liu Fa: "General, have you seen An Qiusheng today?" ”

Liu Fa shook his head: "No, why do you have such a question?" ”

Han Ju frowned and said to Liu Fan: "I guessed right, the general didn't see him, he appeared in the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

Liu Fa frowned, this is a little wrong, Qin Wen asked An Qiusheng to go to Guangping, why did he get to Chongcheng Liu Fa asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you are not mistaken, is it An Qiusheng?" Tell me about it. ”

Han Ju nodded, and then said: "After An Qiusheng entered the City Lord's Mansion, he also arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Geng Changwei also came out to see him and entered the City Lord's Mansion with him. ”

No wonder Geng Changwei went out for a while, Liu Fa still couldn't understand the relationship between An Qiusheng and Geng Changwei at this time, although he was a little puzzled at this time, but he didn't make up his mind, he called Liu Xiaolong over and asked him to find out the news, and the people under his command were familiar with doing these things. Liu Xiaolong received the order, and then let people enter Chongcheng to investigate.

It was also at this time that another army from outside the city rushed over, and they walked in unison and trained well, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Fa was stunned, a little puzzled, whose army was this, it didn't look like an ordinary soldier or horse. Liu Fan couldn't help but look at the person who led the soldiers, and looked at it intently, it was Qin Tianzhao, Qin Tianzhao was also looking at him at this time, his face was as usual, and he was as cold as ever.

After glancing at it, Qin Tianzhao shouted and drove into the city, a small storm in the city, Liu Fa felt that it was more difficult to get the grain and grass, at this time he had to think of other ways, according to this Qin Tianzhao's temperament, I am afraid that it is not just a matter of deducting grain and grass.

Liu Xiaolong has already gone to the city to inquire about the news, just now Geng Changwei also told him about some questions, Moshiling is now barbarians can't be attacked, but Guangping Straight Road has missed several times, the people of the South Prison have suffered greatly, Guangping is broken, and it will be rushed to the city immediately, and now the dust pass is in danger, Qin Wen did not let Geng Changwei go to the dust pass, but let Geng Changwei and Qin Tianzhao guard the city together, rushing to the city is dangerous, the pass is narrow, and the fight is courage and endurance. This is the last hurdle of the South Prison, and to break the South Prison, a bloody battle must be fought here. The army can't be used, here, can only be carried out, Dali has no news so far, the court is also sitting idly by, this southern prison does not know how long it can be collected.

Chongcheng now has a lot of refugees who have gone south, they are now homeless, and most of the people who are alive are old, weak, sick and disabled, there are not many young and middle-aged people, these were originally Han families who went south, but now they are all displaced and become beggars, Chongcheng is very small after all, and these people have to go south. What Liu Fa is waiting for now is grain and grass, he is a little impatient now, the grain and grass are no longer available, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Prison can only defend the city, and the entire dust pass can only be lost to the barbarians.

One hundred and seven chapters

Qin Wen meant to let himself come to Chongcheng, but he didn't say clearly, how to do it specifically, he still needs Liu Fan to think about it, but it is obviously not possible to stay in Chongcheng, he still needs to go north, but there are not many soldiers on his mobile phone, and he is a thousand people, and he dealt with some a few days ago, and now it is more than nine hundred, he was thinking in the tent, and suddenly Xin He walked in.

Xin He's face was not very good, and when he came in, he walked straight to Liu Fan's side and smacked his lips: "Gao Yong and the others entered Chongcheng and went towards the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Liu Fa frowned: "Do you see it clearly?" ”

Xin He nodded, mumbled, and then said: "The people under my command can see clearly, they seem to have some conspiracy with An Qiusheng!" ”

Gao Yong and the others are so mean on weekdays, they don't have many people under them, plus these days, Liu Fa has set them all up, and transferred some people who are not visible on weekdays, it can be said that Liu Fa is really in control of this army now. The two of them, Liu Fa has nothing to fear, it's just that they go to the City Lord's Mansion, if they get together with Qin Tianzhao and the three of them, they are afraid that it will not be good, and he can only let Xin He watch the movements of the two of them closely at this time, if there is anything wrong, they will be executed on the spot.

As soon as Qin Tianzhao entered the City Lord's Mansion, he saw An Qiusheng, and he was also a little puzzled: "Qiusheng, why are you here?" ”

An Qiusheng smiled helplessly, first motioned for Qin Tianzhao to sit down, and then said slowly: "Mr. asked me to go to Shouguang Straight Road, I have so many soldiers under me, and I really have no chance of winning when I fight with the barbarians, besides, I didn't bring too much grain and grass, come over and replenish it." ”

Geng Changwei also came in at this time, and saw that Qin Tianzhao also smiled at him, although he was not as polite as he was to Liu Fan, but he seemed much closer On weekdays, Geng Changwei is also very good to Qin Tianzhao, in his eyes, this southern prison, in the future, belongs to Qin Tianzhao, but with Liu Fan, Qin Tianzhao now feels a little erratic.

When Qin Tianzhao saw Geng Changwei, he also hugged his fists and smiled for the first time: "Uncle Geng, I haven't seen you for a long time, is your health okay?" "Among the four heroes in the South Prison, Geng Changwei is the oldest and the most tactful. Qin Tianzhao has also been taken care of by him since he was a child, so he is still closer than Qin Wen.

Geng Changwei just nodded, he didn't talk nonsense, and said: "I'm in good health, well, I know about you and Qiusheng, Liu Fa is outside the city, and now Mr. said that you are the master of the city, what about me, I don't care, now the grain and grass are in the east of the city, you can watch it!" As he spoke, he took out the official seal of Chongcheng.

Qin Tianzhao was stunned, he didn't take the big seal, he just shook his head: "Uncle, this official seal, you put it away, no one has a good envoy for you to hold it, I saw that Liu fell, is he also out of food and grass." ”

An Qiusheng looked at Qin Tianzhao and was greatly convinced: "Brother Qin's talent, this can also be guessed, Liu Fa is really here to ask for grain and grass, but Uncle Geng and I dragged him first, just wait for you to speak." ”

Geng Changwei nodded with a light smile: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and you can't leave him any handle, I don't think it's better to give him this grain and grass." ”

Since An Qiusheng and Geng Changwei have spoken, Qin Tianzhao has no reason to refuse, not to mention that he has already seen Liu Fa unpleasant, the first time they met, Liu Fa felt that he was the same person as himself, but there was no sympathy in his heart, just rejection, indescribable rejection.

The three of them were discussing, and suddenly the guards came to report, Gao Yong and the others came, Qin Tianzhao and the others looked a little strange, it was difficult to come to urge food again. Geng Changwei asked An Qiusheng to sit in the back pavilion first, he and Qin Tianzhao looked at the intentions of the two, Gao Yong and the others were also a little apprehensive at this time, they were rejected by Liu Fan, and now they have basically been set aside, and there are actually dozens of henchmen under their hands, and they came here at this time, but they had the idea of taking refuge in Qin Tianzhao.

Now the situation is more chaotic, and it is the most normal thing for anyone to die. The two of them naturally hope to regain military power, and following Qin Tianzhao is not the best way out.

The two of them originally had a frank attitude, but Qin Tianzhao was suspicious, and he couldn't believe their words for a while, he knew that Liu Fa was not a stupid person, in case he gave himself a set, it would be bad, he and Geng Changwei exchanged glances, and just pretended to agree to them, but there was nothing they could do, there was no good way at this time, Gao Yong and the two had little influence in the Liu Fa army, but Liu Fa's current foundation was not deep, and if it was provoked, it was not impossible.

Gao Yong and the others heard Qin Tianzhao's reply, and they were also happy in their hearts, and they happily retreated, but all this was seen by Xin He's people, they had just left the city lord's mansion, Liu Fa had already known the news, and at this time Liu Xiaolong also inquired about the news, it turned out that An Qiusheng was the quasi-son-in-law of Geng Changwei, and now things are a little difficult to handle, and the matter of grain and grass seems to be becoming more and more problematic.

At this time, Geng Changwei also sent people to inquire in front of Liu Fa's camp all day, although Liu Fa understood, but he also pretended not to know, the next day, he went to the city lord's mansion again, but at this time it was no longer Geng Changwei who was in charge, Geng Changwei, the old fox, had already found an excuse to go out to check the camp, Liu Fa just entered, and saw Qin Tianzhao at a glance, Qin Tianzhao was idle at this time, he was actually practicing calligraphy, although Liu Fa knew that this grain and grass was not in his hands, but he still needed to come and take a trip.

Liu Fa cupped his fists perfunctorily, and said word by word: "Long time no see, City Lord Qin." ”

Qin Tianzhao also said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Liu has become a general." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and he also heard the mockery when Liu Fa pronounced the three words of the city lord of Qin.

Liu Fa didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and because he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, he got straight to the point: "City Lord Qin, there is no grain and grass in our army, if it drags on like this, there will inevitably be complaints in the army, and I hope that the city lord of Qin will allocate some grain and grass for me, and I will go north to fight the enemy." ”

Qin Tianzhao frowned, shrugged his shoulders contrivedly, and said with a wry smile: "General Liu, alas, it's not me to help you, there are some troubles in the dispatch of the army in the past few days, I just arrived in Chongcheng, and my eyes are black, so let's do it, General Liu is giving me a few days, let's talk about it in a few days......"

Although Liu Fa knew that he was perfunctory, he had no choice, his eyes rolled, he hugged his fists, and left. Out of the city, he suddenly felt that there was nowhere to go, he still didn't know the conspiracy of Gao Yong and the others, the grain and grass were also insisting, and they were all troublesome, he thought about it, or go back first, and discuss countermeasures with others, it is not possible to go on like this.

As soon as he returned to the army, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and the soldiers looked at him a little strangely. He was puzzled, at this time Liu Xiaolong and Xin He both walked towards him with gloomy faces, he understood that something might be wrong, and it was not the place to talk outside, he called the two into the big tent, Xin He first spoke in a deep voice: "There are rumors in the army, saying that you and Qin Tianzhao do not share the same sky, Qin Tianzhao will not give us food and grass, and now the people are panicked and the army is discouraged." ”

Liu Xiaolong's face is even worse, he has no turning back at this time, and now the people in the army are hating him, because he is the person in charge of logistics in the army, and today there are already many flexible people in front of him to inquire about the problem of grain and grass, and the grain and grass are really not much now, at most they can only last for three days, and now many people are asking for the distribution of food and wages, and they are about to fight.

Liu Fa didn't say how to solve the problem at this time, he just opened his mouth and asked Liu Xiaolong: "Have you found out, what is the matter with An Qiusheng coming to the city?" Don't tell me that he just came to see his father-in-law-to-be. ”

Liu Xiaolong suppressed the anger in his heart, and didn't understand why Liu Fa asked such a boring question, but he still spoke: "An Qiusheng has not much grain and grass in the army, and this time I came here to supply grain and grass." ”
