Qin Tianzhao and An Qiusheng totaled a long time, and they both believed that these grains and grasses were robbed by Liu Yuan, and robbing grain was a big crime, considering that Liu Fan was about to go north in the near future, and there was not much grain and grass in Liu Yuan's army, Liu Fan was very likely to mix the grain and grass with the grain and grass sent by Qin Tianzhao today, thinking of this, Qin Tianzhao did not hesitate, and his heart was indescribably happy, once it was found out that Liu Fan had robbed the grain without permission and killed the soldiers of the Southern Prison, it would be difficult for Liu Fan to even think about not dying.

An Qiusheng's identity is embarrassing now, and he can't show up yet, so he can only go back to the camp first. Three thousand men and horses dispatched, naturally there is a lot of movement, after all, this is now the only defender of Chongcheng, watching the army go away, the people in Chongcheng are panicking, everyone thinks that the barbarians have come over, and many people are packing up their things, and they are ready to flee south.

The autumn wind was cool, the cold stars were pressing, Liu Fa and the team stood at the gate of the camp, waiting for the battle, looking at the dust rolling in the distance, Liu Fa's face swept a trace of playfulness. Finally, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and when he looked closely, Qin Tianzhao and his guards were already within ten steps, and he had no intention of stopping, the breeze stroked the tips of Liu Fa's hair, and Liu Fa's smile became more and more profound.

It wasn't until Qin Tianzhao's horse's hooves were about to step on Liu Fa that Qin Tianzhao pulled the reins, the horse snorted, raised his front hooves, and then neighed, Liu Fa didn't move, just stood there, stroking the handle of the knife, he knew that Qin Tianzhao didn't dare to step down, because he knew his temper.

Sure enough, Qin Tianzhao was still afraid of Liu Fa, and pulled the reins fiercely, but the horse didn't stand firm, took a step back, and almost threw Qin Tianzhao down, Qin Tianzhao's face was even more ugly at this time, it was really embarrassing!

There was silence in Liu Fan's camp, and then he didn't know who snorted and laughed, and then thunderous laughter came from behind Liu Fan, Liu Fan also twitched the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know what to say, Qin Tianzhao's face was not red, but became even paler, he really wanted to kill this horse, Liu Fan didn't care about the soldiers under him, it was really a bastard, what made Qin Tianzhao even more angry was that the soldiers and horses rushing to the city were also snickering, his face became more and more white, hearing the laughter around him, he was awe-inspiring with murderous intent.

The laughter finally eased, and Qin Tianzhao was just about to speak, when Liu Fa turned his head and scolded with a smile: "What are you laughing at, is it interesting?" ”

Originally, these soldiers had laughed enough, but when they heard Liu Fa say this, they laughed out loud again, deliberately, Liu Fa was definitely deliberate, Qin Tianzhao was afraid of being angry by Liu Fa, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse and prepared to get down to business. He pulled out his long sword and said coldly: "Last night, a large number of military rations were robbed in the granary, and dozens of officers and soldiers who held grain were killed. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately the army crushed towards Liufa.

Liu Fa laughed, then looked at Qin Tianzhao intently, and shouted: "Slow, General Qin is saying that there are thieves hiding in our army?" ”

Qin Tianzhao looked at Liu Fa with a smile, and said sinisterly: "General Liu, it's a routine, you can find out if you have a check, General Liu doesn't have to be angry, I am also for your safety." When he said this, he immediately glanced at the soldiers behind him, and the guards were about to rush into the camp, but by looking at their faces, they looked not like searching for thieves, but more like a group of live bandits.

Liu Fa stood at the entrance of the camp with a golden knife, blocking the way of these soldiers, these soldiers got Qin Tianzhao's order, naturally they would not take Liu Fa in their eyes, they were also arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and they actually stretched out their knives at Liu Fa, and the people under Liu Fa were not idle, not to mention the three hundred barbarian army under Qing Yunfei, it was the seven hundred Southern Prison Army, and they also drew their knives and stared at them.

Qin Tianzhao was very willing to see such a situation, although there was a lot of displeasure in his eyes, but he was happy in his heart, he also drew his sword, pointed at Liu Fa and shouted: "Liu Fa, do you want to rebel?" "If Liu Fa can't say anything, Qin Tianzhao will completely annihilate Liu Fa's army here.

Liu Fa smiled and said disdainfully: "General Qin, if you want to check the camp, it's okay, if you can't find out, what should I do, the more than 1,000 brothers under my command are not ashamed, and they can't be trusted by their own people, and now the enemy is current, hehe......" Liu Fa's meaning is obvious, so that not only the soldiers in Liu Fa's army, but also the soldiers who rushed to the camp also slowed down their movements, and looked at Qin Tianzhao with some complexity.

"Is it a trivial matter to rob the military rations, do you want to let the brothers go to the battlefield hungry." Qin Tianzhao is not to be outdone, he also has a good tooth, it is useless to say more, seeing that not many people are willing to go up, Qin Tianzhao himself is about to rush forward with people.

"I see who dares to ......" Liu Fa was furious, the Yuan Knife in his hand moved, and there was a deep mark on the ground, Qin Tianzhao was stunned, although he was a little panicked, but he still said quietly: "Liu Fa, you have to think clearly, you have to be a thief, and the thousand brothers behind you will become a thief!" ”

"Instead of fighting in the nest like this, it's better to do the opposite, damn!" I don't know who shouted this, the people behind him began to echo it, seeing that the situation was a little uncontrollable, Qin Tianzhao was not very old after all, and he was also a little flustered, but he was stubborn, looking at the arrogance in the Liu Fa camp, a trace of irritability flashed in his heart, and he was full of murderous intent.

It was at this time that Liu Fa spoke, he waved his hand, and the back was quiet, he looked at this thousand soldiers, and his heart was a little more moved and satisfied, he carefully looked at everyone's expectant eyes, he turned his head again, looked at Qin Tianzhao, and said calmly: "General Qin, I don't have to worry about it, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but I won't be humiliated, you can check this battalion, but if you can't find out, hehe......" Liu Fa's face showed a bit of evil, and his hand touched the handle of the Yuan Knife again.

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Qin Tianzhao was a little at a loss, he didn't know whether Liu Fa should be investigated, but if he didn't check, what should he do if he fell for Liu Fa's plan? He didn't want to leave like this, he went twice a day, but he didn't do anything, but was insulted by Liu Fan, he was really angry in his heart.

It was so deadlocked, Qin Tianzhao didn't want to go, at this moment, suddenly a "Sun and Moon" person ran from behind, he quickly walked to Qin Tianzhao's side, and didn't know what to say to Qin Tianzhao, Qin Tianzhao's face changed, and then he turned around and got on the horse, without looking at Liu Fan, and shouted at the soldiers and horses rushing to the city: "Go back to the camp!" Then he turned his horse's head and ran hurried in the direction of Chongcheng.

Liu Fa felt that something was not right, what could make Qin Tianzhao's face change like this, he immediately sent someone to investigate, in case things changed, the people who rushed to the city saw Qin Tianzhao leaving in the dust, they were also stunned, and they were all complaining in their hearts, what is this, running for nothing, doing nothing, embarrassing.

It didn't take long for the scouts in the army to report that the dust pass was broken, no wonder Qin Tianzhao's face was so ugly, at this time Liu Fa's face was even more ugly, Qin Wen gave him the order to go to the dust pass, but now that the dust pass is broken, if he goes north, it will be very dangerous, the reason is with him, if the dust pass is not broken, Liu Fa will go north and these barbarians still have the strength to fight, but now if he goes to the dust pass, he can only fight alone, and he is deep behind the enemy, without any supplies, this is basically no different from looking for death.

Things have come to this point, Liu Fa is really in a dilemma, let him guard Chong City, not to mention whether he is willing or not, even Qin Tianzhao will not fulfill his wish, at this time he had to discuss it with Qing Yunfei and the others, and soon Liu Fa was full of people in the tent, and they all stopped Liu Fa to explain the situation clearly, this is indeed not good news, where are they going, Liu Fa is really difficult to make a choice.

In the middle of the city, Geng Changwei also came back, the dust pass has been broken, there is no need for him to go to the dust pass again, now the only thing that the dust pass has not broken is the grinding stone ridge, there are not many soldiers on the grinding stone ridge, and now the situation is in crisis, even if the grinding stone ridge is dangerous, now it is not long to hold on, although the ridge is difficult to capture for a while, but there is not much food and grass, and it can't last long, they are now suddenly unable to break through, and the reinforcements don't know when it will be, although there are not many soldiers on the ridge, but there are still 1,800 people, If this continues, even if these people are not exterminated by the barbarians, they will definitely starve to death on the ridge.

So many things have happened in just two days, Geng Changwei is also a little sighing, Qin Tianzhao and An Qiusheng are still young after all, they still lack the heat to do things, and they need time to train, but Liu Fa is really a ruthless character. However, Geng Changwei is not a simple person, and if he deals with Liu Fa, he will not be so difficult with Qin Tianzhao.

Liu Fa didn't discuss any regulations in the camp, and was distressed, when suddenly the herald ran in and said, "General, General Geng is back, he asked you to go to the City Lord's Mansion quickly." ”

Liu Fa was stunned, then let the herald go down first, then looked at everyone, and asked, "Geng Changwei, this old fox called me, what do you think?" ”

Xin He said with a worried face: "The night owl enters the house, and everything comes here, this old fox is afraid that he wants us to go north!" Jiang Baiyan's face was not very good, he also nodded and said: "I think too, be careful, general, this old fox is not as easy to deal with as Qin Tianzhao." ”

Qing Yunfei's temper is the hottest, he is not good at these conspiracies, and he hates them the most, he looked at Liu Fa and begged: "General, you can't let your brothers die in vain, you have to think of a way!" ”

"Nonsense, the general naturally won't let the brothers go to death, but there is no way now, can you stop arguing first." Xin He rolled his eyes and said to Qing Yunfei very dissatisfied.

Liu Fa was silent for a moment, and then decided to go and see the situation first, he rode his horse again, and entered Chongcheng, in the city lord's mansion, only Qin Tianzhao and Geng Changwei were sitting in the front hall, and when they saw Liu Fa coming in, they all had a faint smile, and it was indescribably insidious.

Liu Fa clenched his fists slightly, and smiled at Geng Changwei: "Geng Cheng...... The general is back. Liu Fa said a word for the city, and then looked at Qin Tianzhao, seeing that his face had not changed, as if he hadn't heard it, his heart suddenly sank, things were really not good, according to Qin Tianzhao's character in the past, he would at least change his face, but today, it seems that he has become a lot calmer.

Geng Changwei didn't seem to hear the pause in Liu Fa's words, he also grinned, motioned for Liu Fa to sit down first, and then said, "General Liu has been coming to the city for a while, right?" ”

Liu Fa said with a smile: "Yes, I have been here for a few days, but I only got some grain and grass today, alas! Then he looked at Qin Tianzhao again, Qin Tianzhao smiled slightly, and didn't say much, but Geng Changwei was a little embarrassed, he took a sip of tea, covered it up slightly, and then became serious again, and said to Liu Fan: "The southern prison is fully tight, the dust pass has been broken, General Liu, the grain and grass have arrived, you must rush to the dust pass immediately, drag the barbarians, unite the army there, and wait for Dali's reinforcements to come." ”

"Hehe, I only have a thousand people under my hands, aren't you joking!" Liu Fa's face was cold, and he could still laugh out loud, he was already patient to the extreme, he knocked on the teacup, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be mocking.

Geng Changwei laughed, walked in front of Liu Fan, and said with a smile: "Where did General Liu come from, how could the old man let you go to death, although the dust pass is broken, there are still many places in our hands, such as Moshi Ridge, which is Guangping Straight Road, hasn't the barbarians been taken down yet?" ”

Liu Fa rolled his eyes, if the Guangping Straight Road was defeated, they could only stay in Chongcheng and wait for the barbarian army to suppress the territory. Liu Fa knew that he couldn't say that Geng Changwei, not to mention that he couldn't do anything if he stayed here, he rolled his eyes, and then said: "General, I can go north, but there is not much grain and grass in our army, please transfer more generals." ”

Qin Tianzhao's face was not good-looking, he sent a lot of them yesterday, and today Liu Fa actually spoke again, he also knew in his heart that the grain and grass in An Qiusheng's camp must have been robbed by Liu Fa, but now there is no evidence, he can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he can't say anything about his suffering. He smiled faintly and reminded Liu Fa: "General Liu, I just sent you grain and grass in the morning!" ”

Liu Fa nodded, and then said, "Yes, I know, but it's not enough!" Then he looked at Geng Changwei again: "General Geng, please transfer me some more grain and grass, I don't know what the result will be when I go north, please don't be too stingy!" ”

Hearing Liu Fa's words come to this point, Geng Changwei could only nod, this time to go north and die for nine lives, even if it was a meal for them, he readily agreed.

Everything was negotiated, and the people in the hall suddenly laughed loudly, although the laughter was different, and finally there was no unhappiness, but the coldness and murderous intent in it made this autumn a little colder. Liu Fa got up to say goodbye, he could feel the biting chill behind him, but he was not afraid, maybe this was an opportunity?

Geng Changwei agreed so happily, but it made Liu Fan have some doubts in his heart, Geng Changwei is not Qin Tianzhao and An Qiusheng, Geng Changwei is an understanding person, it is impossible for him not to guess that An Qiusheng's grain and grass were robbed by himself, and he went north to die for a lifetime, how could Geng Changwei waste a large amount of grain and grass.

Liu Fa frowned, thought about it for a long time on the road, and didn't understand what Geng Changwei had in mind, after returning to the camp, he and Xin He made it clear about today's matter, Jiang Baiyan was the most calm and calm, he understood that this result was inevitable, but Qing Yunfei was different, he angrily scolded and scolded in Liu Fa's tent, either greeting Geng Changwei's maternal relatives, or greeting Qin Tianzhao's maternal relatives, Xin He really couldn't listen to it, and gave him a kick.

"General, there seems to be a lot of something wrong with this, Geng Changwei is cunning and cunning, how can he easily transfer food to us?" After kicking Qing Yunfei, Xin He asked Liu Fa a little confused.

Qingyunfei glared at Xin He, and then said nonchalantly: "What does it matter, if this thief old man really doesn't give it, I will rob him again, the problem now is that we are going north, there is really no way to live......"

"Wait, you say it again!" Jiang Baiyan suddenly thought of something, and immediately spoke to Qing Yunfei.

Liu Fa and Xin He glanced at each other, looked at Jiang Baiyan first, and Liu Fa asked, "Brother Baiyan, what did you think of?" ”

Jiang Baiyan nodded, and then pointed at Qing Yunfei and said, "If what I expected is right, Qing Yunfei just got to the point." ”

"Say, say what?" Now it's Qing Yunfei's turn to be confused. He thought about it suspiciously, and then said word by word: "What does it matter, if this thief old man really doesn't give it, I will rob him again......"

"Yes, that's the ......" Jiang Baiyan suddenly stood up, looked at everyone with a gloomy face, and then said: "Qingyun flew to rob An Qiusheng's grain, An Qiusheng has no grain and grass in the army, An Qiusheng and Geng Changwei are Weng's sons-in-law, Geng Changwei naturally will not sit idly by, if I am Geng Changwei, I will return to his own body in the way of others, and then Geng Changwei can not only weaken our army, but also have a reason, saying that we have not protected the grain and grass, or the grain and grass have no grain!" ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Baiyan stopped, and said to Liu Fa: "General, this is the best result I can speculate, if the grain and grass are robbed by An Qiusheng, they are in the dark, we are in the light, we will always suffer, besides, when our army leaves, what to do with that batch of grain and grass, if it is discovered, simply put, we can't take it away, if it is taken away by An Qiusheng, I will soon run out of food, general, don't forget, An Qiusheng will also go north." ”

Liu Fa frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Jiang Baiyan said made sense, at this time, even Qing Yunfei had to change color, and Xin He was also afraid on his face.

"Brother Baiyan is talented, if it weren't for Brother Baiyan, I'm afraid I'm really going to fall for the old thief's tricks." Liu Fa looked at Jiang Baiyan with appreciation, and felt more and more that he had not chosen the wrong person, in fact, in Jiang Baiyan's eyes, Liu Fa heard his analysis just now, and his face did not change at all, which can be described as brave, and besides, Liu Fa has the ambition to be a hero, and he will have a bright future in the future.

Jiang Baiyan didn't dare to say twice, and then sat down in his seat again, waiting for Liu Fan's orders. Since he guessed that Geng Changwei would attack on the road, Liu Fa discussed countermeasures with the three of them.
