**************
Cheng Bing, who had read the edict, listened to Liu Cun's explanation and was very surprised: "Zijian, didn't you set the main direction of attack in Dong'an City in the south?" ”
Liu Cun nodded: "This decision is made because the younger brother is worried that once he directly rushes to the aid of Dongguan City, which is besieged by more than 20,000 yellow turbans, he will only face two results, first, the besieged yellow turbans will immediately retreat and escape into the mountains to the west, and the Dongguan trapped by Lieutenant Xiao will be relieved, but the more than 10,000 yellow scarves that occupy Dong'an City will probably have to slip away, and after our army leaves, they will come again; Second, even if the younger brother led his troops to rush forward and storm the main force of the Yellow Turban besieging Dongguan, the two brothers said that the lieutenant Xiao, who led nearly 10,000 horses to defend Dongguan, dared to rush out and join forces with thousands of troops and horses of the younger brother to fight the enemy? Once Lieutenant Xiao didn't dare to come out, or hesitated, wouldn't it be dangerous for the junior brother to have only 6,000 men? Even if you fight to the death and win by luck, it will be a miserable victory in the end, but if you fight, the enemy of Dong'an, thirty-five miles away to the south, will come to attack, and the little brother will be defeated immediately under the enemy's belly and back, although the officers and soldiers under his command are well-equipped, but they have never fought! ”
Cheng Bing and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the battlefield would be so dangerous, and Liu Cun's calculations would be so meticulous.
Seeing this, Liu Cun simply said thoroughly: "The reason why the younger brother attacked Dong'an City, the 10,000 Yellow Turban troops occupying Dong'an City saw that the younger brother led his troops to kill, and they would definitely close the city gate and hold on, because they did not have the certainty of winning the 6,000 officers and soldiers of the younger brother, and they would definitely hope that the main force of more than 20,000 Yellow Turbans besieging Dongguan would come to support, and they would join forces with each other to defeat the 6,000 officers and soldiers of the younger brother with superior forces." ”
Seeing Cheng Binghe Mi Zhu quickly comprehended, Liu Cun continued: "In fact, in the face of Dong'an Yellow Turban's request for help, the more than 20,000 Yellow Turbans besieging Dongguan may be difficult to give up the siege of Dongguan City for nearly a month, I estimate that the thieves' grain and grass are almost consumed, and they can only hope to break through Dongguan City, and at the same time, they are also worried that once the whole army goes south to aid Dong'an, they will be chased out by 10,000 officers and soldiers in the city to threaten the flank, therefore, even if Dong'an City is attacked by the younger brother, the more than 20,000 Yellow Turbans in the north will only send a few reinforcements to the south to support at most, In this way, it will be easy to do, if the thieves who come to help are less than 5,000, the younger brother is sure to eliminate them in half an hour, if it is 10,000, the younger brother will also be in Dong'an City before the 10,000 yellow scarves have not reacted, head-on and fight hard, as long as the enemy army is disabled, our soldiers will inevitably be full of confidence, morale is like a rainbow, it is easy to fight, more than 30,000 yellow scarves if they escape quickly, it is estimated that they can escape half, if they hesitate to miss the time, and wait for the little brother to adjust, maybe they can achieve a big victory. ”
Cheng Binghe Mi Zhu was completely convinced, and they were suddenly full of confidence in Liu Cun, who knew that in fact, Liu Cun's level of fighting was much higher than his ability to govern, and fighting war was Liu Cun's old job.
"As long as you win this battle, Chengyang Taishou will be nine out of ten!"
Mi Zhu clenched his fists with confidence, as long as Liu Cun wins, the martial arts are all there, plus the support of the monarch, he secretly sent people to take out huge sums of money and exquisite utensils to go to Luoyang to fight up and down, who still has the ability to compete with Liu Cun for this Chengyang Taishou?
Mi Zhu even had a plan, once Liu Cun became the Taishou of Chengyang, he would buy land to build a mansion between the east of Xiahe City and Langya Academy, and once the world was in turmoil, he immediately moved his relatives and family business from Xuzhou, the land of the four wars.
After a night's rest, the huge team continued to rush and entered Ju County smoothly at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The guards at the city gate saw that the front and rear of the convoy were full of well-equipped black armor and black helmets, and then saw the monarch's flag fluttering on the first carriage, and immediately stood respectfully and solemnly, and the passing people retreated to both sides and bent down to greet them, and the two shrewd officers and soldiers had already rushed into the city to report urgently to the county order and the county lieutenant.
Mi Zhu and Cheng Bing sat in a luxurious special carriage, Liu Cun was wearing the same armor as ordinary cavalrymen, but the intricately carved silver helmet on the top showed that he was different.
The two knights who rode horses and followed Liu Cun were Qin Yi, his new captain of the guard, and Cheng Ji, his second disciple, Cheng Ji, who was eight feet tall and calm at the age of eighteen.
The convoy passed through the city gate, entered the five-zhang wide Chengbei Street, turned east at the crossroads, and immediately saw the county order leading dozens of officials to meet it quickly.
Cheng Binghe Mi Zhu was very familiar with the officials of Ju County, and introduced Liu Cun to them after a little greeting, which immediately caused a sensation, whether it was Liu Cun's virtuous name or the image of the military dress at the moment, all of which made the Ju County officials applaud, and the etiquette of meeting each other became more solemn, Liu Cun did not realize until this time that he was also a celebrity.
Since the county government could not accommodate a large number of vehicles and cavalry, Cheng Binghe Mi Zhu followed the county order to enter the yamen to rest, and Zeng Mian, a 35-year-old county lieutenant, led Liu Cun, who was responsible for escorting the convoy, to the barracks inside the east gate to rest.
Entering the gate of the barracks, Liu Cun was attracted by more than 1,000 young men on the school field, and Zeng Mian, who had a bold personality, had not yet received the news that Liu Cun was about to lead his troops to attack the Yellow Turban, thinking that Liu Cun was just escorting the convoy south to Wangcheng, so he introduced it very enthusiastically: "On the order of the monarch, this county will send 3,000 troops to rescue Dongguan, because the ordnance came too late, it has been delayed for five days, today is the last group of soldiers, tomorrow to complete the reorganization and distribute weapons, and the whole team will go out early the next morning." ”
Liu Cun reined in his horse and stared at the nearly 100 young men who were trying to shoot arrows on the field: "Brother Zeng, is it too late for the training of the soldiers?" ”
Zeng Mian heard Liu Cun, who was famous all over the world, call himself his brother, and he felt very comfortable in his heart: "It's too late and can't help it, this county has been drained by the lieutenant last month with 2,000 people, who knows that the war is going so badly, in order to keep the peace of Ju County, and also to serve the monarch, I can only continue to recruit soldiers, fortunately, there has been a martial style in this county since ancient times, and it can make up for the lack of training. ”
Liu Cun really didn't agree with this point of view, but he was embarrassed to say anything, so he just smiled and moved forward.
At this moment, more than 100 young men who were trying to shoot arrows suddenly fought, and more than 20 well-dressed young men punched and kicked around three young men in simple clothes, and soon knocked down two of them, and the remaining sturdy young man faced the siege of more than a dozen people, and he became more and more courageous, although he suffered a lot of punches and kicks, but more than six or seven people were knocked down by him.
Liu Cun rode on the horse and admired it with interest, Zeng Mian felt a big loss of face, turned over and dismounted and rushed forward and shouted, the officers and soldiers who were watching the excitement around immediately went up to separate the people, and the two sides of the brawl were still struggling desperately and scolded angrily.
Zeng Mian was so angry that he looked at the two sides and scolded loudly, and finally pointed to the only remaining young man among the three people who were besieged and roared: "It's you Xu Sheng again, if it weren't for your uncle's face, I would have kicked you out immediately!" ”
The twenty-year-old man named Xu Sheng was very unconvinced, but in the end he slowly lowered his clenched fists, pushed away the two officers and soldiers who were blocking him, and walked to the two companions lying on the ground without bothering to tidy up his torn clothes.
When the situation calmed down, Zeng Mian glanced at the twenty or so nonchalant beaters, sighed helplessly and turned to leave, and suddenly found that Liu Cun was already standing in front of him.
Liu Cun pointed to the young man who was silently wiping the blood stains on his face for his companion in front of the side: "Brother Zeng, where did that young man named Xu Sheng come from?" ”
Zeng Mian was surprised, but still introduced: "That kid originally had a good family background, followed his father to practice martial arts since he was a child, and later entered the county school for a few years, four years ago his father died of illness, the family gradually declined, his mother and two younger siblings all relied on the uncle who served as the thief Cao, this time his uncle felt that he had grown up, so he asked me to take care of one or two, to see if he could rely on his ability, a knife and a shot to kill a future, who knows that he is still as stubborn and stubborn as before, so that adults laugh." ”
Liu Cun smiled: "Brother Zeng, the younger brother likes Xu Sheng's stubbornness, can the elder brother give him to the younger brother?" ”
Zeng Mian looked at Liu Cun in disbelief, and Liu Cun smiled again: "Brother Zeng, if you can give Xu Sheng to the younger brother, the younger brother is willing to give the elder brother four war horses." ”
Zeng Mian's eyes widened, his heart pounded, he liked the tall war horses of the cavalry under Liu Cun too much, but he thought that Xu Sheng's strong boy was not necessarily willing, and Xu Sheng's uncle was not easy to talk to, so he could only endure the pain and said: "As long as that kid is willing to go with the adult, I don't have any opinion." ”
Liu Cun nodded: "Thank you, brother, just have the elder brother's words, whether Xu Sheng wants it or not, the younger brother will give the elder brother four horses." ”
Zeng Mian was overjoyed, and he was about to turn around and pull Xu Sheng over.
Liu Cun hurriedly stopped him, told Zeng Mian that he would go over in person, and then strode towards Xu Sheng, who was unaware, in front of everyone.
