ps: The collection is still rising, thank you again for the moon pass! Thank you so much!
***********
On the twelfth day of the first month, Liu Cun and his entourage returned to Zhushan Phoenix Gang smoothly, Sun Wan and his children, the chief manager Lu An and others who received the news in advance gathered at the gate, and the nine members of the Township Elders' Association also changed into decent clothes and stood solemnly.
Under Liu Cun's introduction, the virtuous Sun Wan was very happy to salute Tai Shi Ci, and then hurriedly ran to the carriage, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully in front of the stepmother and Tai Shi Ci's wife on the car, which immediately brought tears to the eyes of the worried old lady and Tai Shi Ci's wife.
Sun Wan didn't wait for her stepmother to return the salute, so she got up and stepped forward to help, and said happily as she walked up the steps: "It's okay, it's okay!" Mother and sister are here to be together! ”
The villagers were very happy to see that the lord Liu Cun had won two more tiger generals, and they were very enthusiastic about Tai Shici and Fu Min. Tai Shici and Fu Min were moved, and after greeting for a long time, they followed Liu Cun into the mansion, and saw the old lady and their wives laughing around the two infant children, and a group of flowery maids around them shouted excitedly, and the worry in their hearts was completely gone.
"The family has never been so lively, now it's okay, your sister-in-law won't complain that I won't return home." Liu Cunle said to Tai Shici and Fu Min haha.
Tai Shi Ci was just about to open his mouth to thank him, but he saw a majestic military general striding in, so he took the initiative to stand aside.
Liu Cun turned his head and immediately greeted him, and pulled the person in front of Tai Shi Ci and the others: "Ziyi, filial piety, this is what I said about Brother Shoushan, big brother, this is Taishi Ziyi, this is Brother Fu Min, they are all rare tiger generals." ”
Wang Qi is very happy, now the most lacking in the army is the cavalry generals, the two young people in front of him are heroic, extraordinary, at a glance is a rare handsome, especially Tai Shici, Liu Cun often nagged Wang Qi This is a tiger general, so Wang Qi was full of expectations when he received the letter sent back by Liu Cun.
After seeing each other, Wang Qi took out a letter and handed it to Liu Cun: "The monarch is in a hurry, Nanwuyang and Fei County have been occupied by more than 20,000 yellow turbans, the county order and most of the officials have been killed, the corpses of the wealthy are all over the place, and tens of thousands of ant people in the two counties are vying to attach themselves to the thieves, causing the government and the opposition to shake, and the Quartet is frightened. The thieves are outnumbered, and a large number of officers and soldiers have been seized with heavy weapons, and it is possible to attack Kaiyang Wangcheng in the east at any time, or attack Zhangxian and Nancheng in the south, and now there are only 8,000 troops under the command of the king, which is really difficult to parry. ”
After reading the letter of help from the monarch Liu Xi, Liu Cun asked puzzledly: "Where did you get so many yellow scarves?" Hasn't Xuzhou been encircling and suppressing the yellow turbans in the territory, and the good news is frequent? ”
Wang Qi scolded disdainfully: "Zhu Kai, the assassin of Xuzhou, is a corrupt Confucian who is very happy, and has spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources for several months, only annihilating more than 1,000 scattered thieves in several counties in northern Xuzhou, and then lying to the court to exterminate tens of thousands of thieves, and the emperor has been deceived by him to give a decree to praise." On the third day of the first month of this month, the yellow turbans in the north of Xuzhou, the east of Yuzhou and the south of Yanzhou quietly gathered for some reason, and suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Nanwuyang, breaking the city in only one day, and swept the whole county in less than five days, and then captured Fei County again. ”
Liu Cun weighed for a moment: "So, let's go south to fight." ”
Wang Qi nodded: "The monarch is as kind to you and me as a mountain, I can't help it!" ”
"Definitely going to save! Big brother, what do you think the imperial court will do? "Liu Cun doesn't really understand the Tao here.
Wang Qi smiled bitterly: "The imperial court must know, and I dare to say that the imperial court ordered my Chengyang County soldiers and horses to go south to rescue and exterminate the thieves, I'm afraid it's already on the way." ”
Liu Cun smiled: "Why don't the eldest brother take 5,000 recruits south to the royal city first?" The younger brother immediately dispatched the infantry cavalry under Yan Shen and Zhai Yue, and finally headed south at full speed. ”
Wang Qi thought for a while and reminded: "There are 15,000 soldiers in Dong'an and Dongguan counties, but to prevent the thieves from Fei County and Nanwuyang from quietly turning around and going north, passing through the Yimeng Mountains to sneak attack Dong'an and Dongguan counties, so at most 5,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry can be dispatched, and any more will be dangerous." ”
Liu Cun nodded: "This Yellow Turban raided Dongwuyang successfully, and then conquered Fei County in one go, it's not easy!" If it is all a rabble, it must not be done in just ten days, do you know who the Yellow Turban general is? ”
"I didn't mention the urgent report and letter, I heard that one is called Xu He, and the other is called ......" Wang Qi thought for a long time: "It seems to be called Guan Hai, and the other is our defeated general Zhang Rao." ”
"Guan Hai? Didn't he say that he retreated into Taihang Mountain? How did you appear in Nanwuyang, which is thousands of miles away? Liu Cun was very surprised.
Wang Qi smiled: "Who knows why this guy suddenly jumped out again?" But this guy is quite capable of fighting, I read the giant deer battle examples you wrote for the apprentices, and found that this Guan Hai is really a brave and resourceful hard bone, and he has a keen sense of smell and is very cunning. ”
Liu Cunzheng said: "Most of the Yellow Turban thieves who can still make waves today have survived the defeat of one battle after another, and we must not ignore their combat effectiveness and unruly style of play, they are not like us to have worries, we can eat wherever we fight, and we can't do it if we eat up." ”
Wang Qile was happy: "That's okay, when I meet my stepmother and younger siblings, I will rush back to Xiahe, and lead my troops to set off early tomorrow morning. ”
"Tomorrow, bring Cheng Ji and them, and when they arrive in Kaiyang, they will immediately contact Mi Zizhong and Cao Bao, ask for a map of northern Xuzhou, and let Cheng Ji and their staff team reassemble, and then send a team of people to quietly go deep into the war zone to survey and verify, I will let Lu Pei do this, and let him lead the Lingshan Battalion to report to you tonight, and it is time to test it after practicing for so long." Liu Cun added.
Wang Qi was overjoyed: "With the help of that kid from Lu Pei, I am much more relaxed." ”
Wang Qi visited the old lady Taishi and Fu Min's parents, and immediately rushed back to the northern camp of Xiahe City, and Liu Cun continued to stay at home and enjoy the reception banquet set by the big housekeeper Lu An.
Because Liu Cun's yard is big enough, three before and after, as well as two courtyards in the east and west, and there are four large and small gardens between the courtyards, Sun Wan knew that the old woman was coming and moved to the west courtyard in advance, and gave the main courtyard in the middle to Tai Shici's family, and the east courtyard was more than enough for Fu Min's family of fifteen, Sun Wan also carefully built a beautiful partition wall, leaving a moon gate for each other to walk around, so no one had to worry about where to live, and the old lady's family and Fu Min's family were moved to tears frequently.
During the dinner, Tai Shici and Fu Min felt incredible to Liu Cun who was happy to haha, and they were about to send troops to fight, Liu Cun was so relaxed that they couldn't understand it for a while.
After the dinner was over, after bathing and changing clothes, Liu Cuncai sent his eldest son Liu Zhen to invite Tai Shici and Fu Min to the study of the West Courtyard for tea.
As soon as Tai Shici and Fu Min entered the study, two young men of the same age as them stood up and saluted, respectfully calling them uncles.
Tai Shi Ci and Fu Min hurriedly returned the salute, and after listening to Liu Cun's introduction, they knew that the two young people in front of them were Lu Pei, the eldest disciple of his brother Liu Cun, and Cheng Ji, the second disciple.
Liu Cun ordered everyone to sit down and motioned to Cheng Ji to hurry up.
Cheng Ji quickly hung up a map of Langya to explain the current battlefield situation, focusing on the four county towns on the north and south sides of the Yimeng Mountain, focusing on the height and thickness of the city wall, the surrounding favorable terrain and river conditions, and then pointed to the three mountain roads that run through the Yimeng Mountain, and introduced the mileage, dangerous section, slope, width, maximum marching speed, and the number of materials required for marching teams of different sizes for each mountain road one by one, and even the maximum load capacity of pack horses was clearly calculated.
Tai Shici and Fu Min were dumbfounded when they heard this, but Liu Cun discussed in a low voice with Lu Pei beside him, and finally asked Lu Pei to verify the terrain and road conditions at the southern and western foot of Yimeng Mountain as much as possible, so that Cheng Ji's staff team could make accurate calculations.
Rupe wrote them down one by one, gave a salute and left silently.
