Chapter Twenty-Seven: Assassination, Accident

In the early morning of the next day, it was snowing again, and the pieces were like butterflies dancing.

Although Liu Xiu was in a very bad mood yesterday by the corrupt officials, but the expedition was imminent, Liu Xiu no longer considered this, but handed it all over to Xie Xuan and others to dispose of, while he himself rested under the service of the pretty girl Fan Yufeng.

At this moment, the sky has not yet broken (5~7 o'clock), Liu Xiu got up early and went to the barracks under the service of Fan Yufeng, and it was time to go to the army today

Changsha County is far from Wuling County, where the three Cai brothers are stationed, and Rongcheng County, even if it is a rapid march, it may take nearly half a month.

In the half month of Liu Xiujun's time, his record of breaking Changsha overnight and defeating 40,000 of 10,000 had already reached the ears of Zhang Xian of Guiyang County.

As soon as Zhang Xian heard the news, he was dumbfounded, in order to defend Liu Biao's army in Jingbei, he would deploy half of his troops in Changsha County, but he didn't expect that the Changsha County City defended by 40,000 troops would be broken overnight by Liu Xiu'er.

Liu Xiu was so capable that Zhang Xian was frightened for a while, and then asked Chen Yingdao in shock: "How did Liu Xiu's little boy break the Changsha county town defended by your army?" Hurry up and tell the truth! ”

When Chen Ying heard this, his heart tightened, he didn't dare to stay in Changsha County after he was defeated and fled that day, but rushed back to Guiyang County in the starry night, so until now he only knew that Liu Xiu was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and suddenly he attacked Changsha County, and suddenly even his east and west camps were defeated, so he couldn't think of how to answer Zhang Xian's question after thinking for a long time, so he could only support him for a long time, but he didn't say why.

Zhang Xian looked at Chen Ying's hesitant appearance, and he had already guessed that this Chen Ying had even understood how he had failed, and he was immediately angry: "Waste! I didn't even understand how to lose, how did you become this Changsha guard, and you still claim to be strategic! I think you're a piece of shit! ”

Where can Zhang Xian's old body withstand such anger and anger, scolding and scolding, a mouthful of blood spurted out, fell to the ground and did not wake up, and everyone hurriedly surrounded it!

Not to mention the chaos on Zhang Xian's side, Liu Xiu had already sent assassins not long after he sent out his troops, but these assassins were all recruited from the rangers just a few years ago, and the first time they carried out the mission, not only whether it could be done at all, but Liu Xiu was a little worried in his heart.

On the snow, Liu Xiu didn't feel how cold he was riding on the fire, but when he saw Liu Bowen still shaking a feather fan in winter, he was really worried about Liu Bowen, so Liu Xiu asked him curiously: "Bowen, I see that you don't care about cold and heat, you shake the fan every day, isn't it cold?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled slightly bitterly, and did not answer Liu Xiu's ridicule, but changed the topic and said to Liu Xiu: "My lord, the assassins have been dispatched for some time, and they must have arrived in Rongcheng County, where the Cai brothers are located, at this time!" ”

"Oh? So fast? Liu Xiu was a little surprised, for these assassins under his command, Liu Xiu didn't care much, basically handed over to Liu Bowen to be fully responsible, because in his heart, even if the war is fought with conspiracy, it is better than relying on the assassination of the assassin all the time, this kind of assassin way that flourished in the Warring States Period is too sideways in Liu Xiu's opinion, so after using it at this time, Liu Xiu has no confidence in his heart, and asked Liu Bowen: "Berwin, can our assassins kill the three Cai brothers?" You must know that it is the commander of the army, and the guard is tight! ”

Regarding Liu Xiu's worries, Liu Bowen had naturally already thought of a foolproof way to deal with it, and he said with a confident smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry, the three brothers Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Cai Xun are just pigs and dogs, and it is easy to kill them; Even if we can't succeed, we can blame Liu Xian of Lingling County for the assassination, so the lord doesn't need to worry! ”

As soon as Liu Bowen reminded him, Liu Xiu also reacted immediately, and suddenly realized: "What Bowen said is very true, even if it doesn't work out then, blame Liu Xian, and with the wisdom of the Cai brothers, they will definitely choose to send troops to attack Liu Xian, and the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce, and it will not be difficult to kill the Cai family at that time; And even if it doesn't work out then, we can watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits! ”

Liu Xiu gushed endlessly, his eyes sparkled, such a strategy can not only save time, but also save troops, and ensure the effect, it is really a brilliant plan; It's a pity that the way of the assassin is lucky to be able to succeed once; Both times it was an accident; And if it can succeed three times, it will be a fluke.

No matter how good this strategy is, Liu Xiu will not always pin his future on this gambling-like strategy

The snow march, although the scenery was white, but it was always less alive and less fun, and everyone hurried for several days, and finally received news from the Assassins when they were about to arrive in Qicheng County.

The news was somewhat unexpected: first, the assassination had basically been successful, but the assassins only killed Cai Zhong and Cai He, and did not kill Cai Xun who stayed in the barracks; However, the most unexpected thing was that Cai Xun did not send troops angrily, but threw tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to the deputy general, and he led his personal guards, took the bodies of the two brothers, lied about his serious injuries, and returned to Xiangyang to mourn; Of course, Cai Xun is not stupid, on the other hand, he also sent people to Yang Yena in Wuling County to ask the general to come and defend on his behalf.

With such a change, Liu Xiu was really stunned to see it, he had seen it, but he had never seen such a flute; However, Liu Xiu also understands that this Cai Xun has been transferred to the remote southern part of Wuling County for several years, and he has long been bored, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to go back, as for the tens of thousands of troops, he has handed them over to Yang Ye, if Liu Xian takes the opportunity to break through, it will naturally be counted on Yang Ye, anyway, no matter how it is calculated, it will not be counted on him Cai Xun of the Cai family.

However, this unexpected change gave Liu Xiu an extremely rare opportunity, as long as he arrived in Rongcheng County, with a mouth, he could also collect these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiuna's depression due to the hard march in the snow for many days also dissipated at once, and he was in a good mood and teased Liu Bowen: "Bowen, you are known as 'Clever Calculation', this Cai Xun reacted like this, have you ever calculated it?" ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Ji conceit can calculate the changes in the world and the rise and fall of dynasties, but it can't be counted as the incompetence of such a cowardly person."

When Liu Xiu heard this, he laughed, and ordered to speed up the march, while he galloped with a whip, and the fire under his crotch was like a spark of fire, quickly burning all over the snow.

The three girls behind him also laughed, and chased after him with a whip, "Brother Ji Xu, wait for us!" ”

After all, Liu Xiuxue's deeds of breaking Changsha at night still spread, and even the Central Plains, Hebei and other places also received such news.

And Liu Biao's shoucheng, Liu Xiu's life experience, ability, statement, and Liu Xiu's talents, etc., all of them have also spread all over the country, and there are those who laugh and look down, those who frown and sigh, and those who threaten.

For a time, the wind surged
