Two days later, the east of Liucheng was dusty, the battle flag was fluttering high, and a team of men and horses drove over, obviously Zhao Bao's reinforcements had arrived. The Xianbei people also saw that the situation was not good, gave up the encirclement of Liucheng on all sides, and withdrew their troops to the west for ten miles to set up camp. Zhao Bao led 20,000 troops to come this time, Liucheng Wubao was too small to accommodate so many troops stationed, so Zhao Bao stationed the army outside the city, and he only led a few followers into the city.

Gongsun Cheng led a group of subordinates and members of the Gongsun family out of the city to greet Zhao Bao. Originally, Liu Ze was just a cloth cloth, and it was said that he was not qualified to meet Taishou, but after Liu Ze made Liucheng letter lantern, Gongsun Chen was impressed with him, and especially included Liu Bei and Liu Ze in the greeting list.

Liu Ze learned from the whispers of the people next to him that Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhong, one of the ten powerful permanent servants, were brothers, but he was ashamed to mention it, let alone associate with him. Zhao Baoyong is martial and righteous, his mother is filial piety, he has been filial piety, he has been the commander of Guangling County, he is clear and clear, and he is promoted to the Taishou of Liaoxi. After taking office, he repaired the city defense, strengthened the military equipment, and repeatedly defeated the Xianbei Wuhuan and other alien races who came to plunder Liaoxi, and beheaded countless people, and the Xianbei people hated and feared him. Zhao Bao adopted an iron-fisted policy for foreign races, and loved the people of western Liaoxi like a son, opened up the land, and the people lived in peace.

Soon, Liu Ze saw Zhao Bao, who was wearing a military uniform. Zhao Bao was about forty years old, his face was thin, his eyes were bright, his beard under his chin was dyed red, and although his face was full of the fatigue of a long march, his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

Gongsun Chen and the others bowed their hands together, and Zhao Bao waved his hand and directly asked about the current military situation in Liucheng.

Gongsun Chen told the truth, but he was very helpless about the abduction of Zhao Bao's mother's wife.

"Zhao Taishou, the Xianbei people obviously knew the identity of Mrs. Zhao, and they were very strict in their precautions, and they failed to use light cavalry sneak attacks several times. Moreover, the Xianbei people are gathering more and more, and the troops in the hands of the humble officials are limited, so they have to send a letter to Zhao Taishou, please send reinforcements to retreat the Xianbei people and rescue Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Taishou. ”

Zhao Bao knew that Gongsun Chen had indeed tried his best, and the fierceness and courage of the Xianbei people were famous.

"At the moment of the great enemy, let's discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, if Liucheng is lost, I am afraid that the lives of the people of Liaoxi will be ruined. As for the mother and the clumsy jing, they came second. Oh yes, how did Gongsun Duwei come up with the idea of sending a message with a lamp, and that lamp seemed very special. ”

"This lamp is not made by the humble position, Liucheng was besieged, the humble position sent people to break through the siege several times and sent the letter unsuccessfully, fortunately my brother has a friend Zhuojun Liu Zeshan strange skills, made this Liucheng letter lamp, only to spread the news to Yangle." Gongsun Chen told the truth.

Zhao Bao was very curious and said, "Where is this person?" ”

Gongsun Chen nodded at Liu Ze, and Liu Ze immediately stepped forward and saluted Zhao Bao. "Liu Ze of Caomin Zhuojun has seen Zhao Taishou."

Zhao Bao looked at Liu Ze as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and his body was quite thin, so he couldn't help but have some doubts. "This Liucheng letter lantern was made by you?"

"Back to Taishou, this Liucheng letter lamp is indeed made by his own hands, but as for this skill, it was taught by the master under him."

"The official is very curious, how can this letter lamp fly into the sky? And how to accurately fall into Yangle City? ”

"Actually, the lantern is very simple, made of wicker to make a cage, covered with hemp paper, and a candle is lit at the bottom, and when the heat fills the lamp, the letter lamp can float in the air. At this time, the west wind is blowing, Yangle City is east of Liucheng, the letter lamp drifts to the east with the wind, and the candle can fall when it burns out. There are dozens of letter lamps under the system, and the candles are of different lengths, which can ensure that there are always one or two letter lamps that can fall in Yangle City. Liu Ze considered the words and sentences, said as simple and clear as possible, and thought about not telling modern physics knowledge.

Zhao Bao sighed: "Liu Gongzi is so young, and he has such a miraculous skill, which is breathtaking. If this Liucheng letter lamp can be equipped in the army for communication purposes, it will be very good. This time, Liu Gongzi has made the first contribution, and the official has to reward him well. ”

"Thank you Zhao Taishou, this letter lamp is just some vulgar instruments, how dare you ask for a reward. And the use of this letter lamp depends on the right time and place, no wind, no wind, no wind, no wind direction, not to mention the west wind the day before yesterday, I am afraid that this letter lamp will not be able to fly to Yangle until now. "Liu Ze stole Zhuge Liang's patent, and he was a little embarrassed, how could he use this thing to ask for credit.

Zhao Bao smiled slightly and said: "Rao is like this, Liu Gongzi is also indispensable, so let's talk about meritorious deeds after breaking Xianbei." ”

Gongsun Chen arched his hand and said: "The three thousand men and horses under the command of the lowly post have already been fully equipped, and they are waiting for the order of Taishou. ”

"Good! Listen to the orders! Tomorrow, the troops will go out of the city and fight to the death with Xianbei! Zhao Bao's eyes fell in the direction of the Xianbei people's camp in the west, and he gave an order firmly.

"No!" The generals responded in unison, the Xianbei siege in the past few days, the generals had already held back the fire, just waiting for Zhao Taishou to give an order to go out of the city and fight with the Xianbei people.

Next, Zhao Bao and Gongsun Chen went to the mansion to discuss the specific plan for fighting Xianbei tomorrow. Naturally, Gongsun Zhan, who was a minor official at such a military meeting, was not qualified to participate, so he returned to his residence with Liu Bei and Liu Ze, and ordered someone to bring dinner and chat while eating.

"Brother Bo Jue, it is said that Zhao Taishou has led a large army to come, and defeating Xianbei is just around the corner, why is my brother worried?" Liu Bei saw Gongsun Zhan's preoccupied appearance and couldn't help asking.

Gongsun Zhan shook his head and said: "When the virtuous brother first arrived in Beijun, he had not yet seen the fierceness of the Xianbei people. ”

Liu Ze wondered very much, it is recorded in the history books that Gongsun Zhan was brave and good at fighting, took the lead, and once broke Xianbei with more than ten horses and hundreds of horses, and he could be regarded as the No. 1 brave general during the Three Kingdoms period, why......

"Brother Bo Jue, aren't you still afraid of Xianbei people?"

Gongsun Chan laughed and said: "Brother Xian misunderstood, although the Xianbei people are strong, but in the eyes of the foolish brothers, they are just some local chickens and dogs, and the white horse cavalry of our Gongsun family has never been inferior to the Xianbei people." It's just that since the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai, brave and wise, since the ruler of Xianbei, the south of the border, the north of the rejection of Ding Ling, the east of the husband, the west of Wusun, according to the Xiongnu homeland, thousands of miles away, can be regarded as a heroic overlord, this person does not exclude, my Han frontier may not be peaceful one day. I heard that the scout reported that Tan Shi Huai had come to Liucheng in person, and Zhao Taishou's mother and wife were all in his hands, if Tan Shi Huai used this as a threat, how could Zhao Taishou deal with it? ”

"I heard that Zhao Taishou is a well-known filial son, if Xianbei really uses his mother as a threat, I'm afraid Zhao Taishou really has no intention of fighting." Liu Bei was also deeply worried.

Gongsun Zhan sighed and said: "What I am thinking about is also here, Tanshi Huai is insidious and cunning, he will definitely use this method, it is difficult for Zhao Taishou to be loyal and filial piety, our army is unstable, how can we defeat the Xianbei people?" Forget it, military matters are decided by Zhao Taishou, and he has his own decision, so it is useless for me to wait, so the two virtuous brothers should rest early. ”

Liu Bei and Liu Ze returned to their rooms and chatted for a while, Liu Bei said a lot of things at home, and Liu Ze wrote them down one by one.

After the lights went out, Liu Ze was tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night, every qiē in this life and previous life was like a movie, sliding in front of him one by one, he was really confused. The past is already a floating cloud, the once warm home is gradually gone, Liu Bei's clear snoring in his ears makes him really feel that he is indeed in the troubled times, where the next road goes, he really doesn't know, he can only take one step at a time, but in any case, surviving is his greatest hope. As for tomorrow's Liucheng Hanxian War, he is just a small bystander, he has no power to change anything, only quietly wait for a result, the Han army wins, he has a chance to leave here alive, if the Han army is defeated, there are no eggs under the nest, maybe this journey through the West will really become a ten-day tour of Liaoxi.

Early the next morning, Liu Ze was awakened by the neighing of horses outside, and after a few days of getting used to it, he didn't feel too troublesome to wear this Hanfu, so he quickly got dressed, pulled Liu Bei and ran outside the house.

All the horses in the castle were nervously and orderly preparing for the battle, and the warriors had put on their leather armor and were placing their harnesses on the tall and beautiful white horses.

White Horse Righteousness! Liu Ze's eyes lit up, Bai Ma Yicong was the most elite private unit of the Gongsun family, and later followed Gongsun Chan to the north to become famous all over the world, and it was also a famous special forces unit during the Three Kingdoms period, but it was a pity that the whole army was wiped out in the Battle of Jieqiao, and Gongsun Chan has gone downhill since then.

Walking through the chaotic crowd, Liu Ze saw Gongsun Zhan striding over from a distance, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor and a snow-white cloak.

"Two virtuous brothers, morning!" The uniform made Gongsun Chan look more handsome and upright, obviously he was in a good mood, and greeted the Liu brothers with a loud voice as soon as they met.

"Looking at Brother Gongsun's outfit, do you want to go into battle and fight?" Gongsun Zhan's current identity is just a small official under his father-in-law Liu Taishou of Zhuo County, and he is temporarily suspended from studying in Lu Zhi Academy, so he can't take his turn to fight, so Liu Ze has this question.

Gongsun Chan smiled strangely and said, "Although Brother Fool is not in the army, it has always been Brother Fool's greatest wish to go to war, and how can I miss such a good opportunity today." The two virtuous brothers have little rest, and they can go up to the city tower to watch the battle later, and see how the brother kills the enemy and the thief. ”

At this time, Gongsun Chan came over, and when he saw Gongsun Zhan's condition, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Big brother, why do you want to fight?" ”

"Didn't the second brother order all the troops of the Gongsun family to be ready to fight with the army yesterday? Doesn't the second brother think that being a brother is also a part of the Gongsun family? Gongsun Chan had a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Yes...... Big brother, today will be a fierce battle, the outcome is unpredictable, if the eldest brother loses, won't I be ashamed of my father under Jiuquan? Gongsun Chen was a little embarrassed, although their brother was not born to the same mother, but the brotherhood was deep, how could he let the eldest brother take risks.

Gongsun Zhan said loudly: "Second brother, don't worry, the enemy is current, none of our Gongsun family is a bad seed, let Tanshi Huai also see that there are also heroes in Sene!" ”

Gongsun Chen had no choice but to nod and said: "Okay, the eldest brother insists on going to battle, and the younger brother doesn't dare to stop him, but after leaving the city, the eldest brother must work with the white horse cavalry, and he must not attack rashly." ”

Gongsun Chan responded and said goodbye to Liu Bei and Liu Ze.

At this time, the army was ready to stop, Gongsun Chen gave an order, the city gate was opened, and the army rushed out.
