Chapter Forty-Nine: Passing Huaiyin City (I)

A sudden encounter had to end in a hurry because of the concerns of both sides.

In this encounter, both sides were killed and wounded.

However, in comparison, it seems that the Xuzhou soldiers suffered heavy losses, after all, a Zhang Nan died. But Liu Chuang felt that his loss was even greater...... The reason is very simple, Liu Bei can continue to recruit troops, but on his side, he has one less to die in battle.

The eight scouts are veterans who follow Guan Hai.

Not to mention how many fights I experienced when I was an ant thief. Just said that they came out of the salt water flat, and these eight scouts followed Liu Chuang and others to fight in Donghai County. Having survived so many battles, the wealth of experience is by no means comparable to the two hundred soldiers replenished by Yuzhou Mountain.

Eight veterans died, which is even stricter than eighty recruits who died in battle!

Liu Chuang was slashed by Guan Yu, and I am afraid that he will not be able to recover in a short time. Even with the help of ginseng pills, you won't be able to fight people for at least half a month. In this way, it is equivalent to reducing the combat power of a strong force. What's more, before the plan, must be modified.

"Since our whereabouts have been exposed, presumably Guangling must be on guard...... If you want to force the river to cross the water shrine, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. ”

"What then?"

Liu Chuang suddenly said: "Let's go north!" ”

"Going north?"

"While Liu Bei and Lu Bu have not yet negotiated peace, let's cross the Huaishui north and bring the Guangling defenders over."

"This ......"

"If we don't bring the Guangling defenders forward, we won't be able to go south.

It is obviously unlikely to return to Yuzhou Mountain; To go west, you have to pass through Xiaqiu, and you have to pass through the battle zone between Yuan Shu and Xuzhou, which will be more dangerous. Old? is cunning and cunning, and he will definitely defend the Jiangshui Temple. If we don't transfer him from Guangling, our southward movement will be an empty word. If you don't make a good one, when Liu Bei comes to his senses, he will face Liu Bei and Chen? Lao Er's joint attack......

Let's fight Huaiyin, and then cross the Huaishui to the north and take Chen? attracted attention.

After crossing the Hehuaishui, we made a detour from Lingxian County, crossed the Huaishui again from Huaipu, and went straight to the Jiangshui Temple, and then forcibly crossed the river.

The key to this battle is to take Guangling by surprise and mobilize Guangling soldiers and horses. Just put Chen? Mobilized, we can have a little more life......"

Liu Chuang looked at the blue line representing Huaishui on the map, and suddenly the classic battle of Taizu's four crossings of Chishui suddenly appeared in his mind. After thinking about it, the only way to use such a method is to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the entire Guangling and disrupt Chen? and then fish in troubled waters. Liu Chuang vs. Chen? Chen Deng's father and son don't know much, but judging from the introduction in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is an old fox.

He is good at self-preservation, and he will not take a stand lightly.

But between Liu Bei and Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang can guarantee in the name of Grandpa Mao in later generations that this old fox will definitely choose to help Liu Bei.

If he guards the Jiangshui Temple, Liu Chuang and the others will face danger.

The only chance is to get him moving.

At this time, Liu Chuang is not afraid of Chen? Move, most afraid of Chen? Motionless...... When he moves, he shows his flaws. The so-called movement is better than stillness, which is roughly the same truth. Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that this was also the best countermeasure he could come up with at the moment.

Huang Shao, Xue Wen, and Xu Sheng looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Guan Hai.

Guan Hai rubbed his nose and suddenly smiled.

The big hand patted Liu Chuang's shoulder, "Meng Yan's idea is good, if we can go south to Jiangdong to get out of danger, let's fight here." ”

On the side, Liu Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of relief.

Liu Chuang is strong in force, and he is very happy; But he prefers that Liu Chuang is a person who is both civil and military, preferably like his father Liu Tao.

"Meng Yan will take care of his injuries and leave the matter of seizing Huaiyin to us."

"Uncle, the battle of Huaiyin is the key to this operation.

We don't have many people, and many of them are newcomers, so this battle is not only to be clever, but also to fight beautifully and win the pleasure.

Huaiyin County is two important places, and many businessmen gather.

Let's seize Huaiyin, not only to mobilize Chen? Lao'er, we must take this opportunity to replenish the heavy grain and grass, so that the army's heart is stable......

Therefore do not have the kindness of a woman. To provoke Chen? That old fox, it is difficult to work by idle means, and thunder means should be used. ”

Liu Yong was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Liu Chuang meant.

But Huang Shao seemed to understand, he raised his head and said softly: "Childe means ......"

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys!"

"Oh?"

"The Huaiyin Bu clan is a local noble clan, but it has declined.

There is no too strong force behind him, but it represents the strong face of Huaiyin. After arriving in Huaiyin, you can kill the Bu family...... So, Chen? As a representative of the Guangling clan, he can no longer sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and he will inevitably send troops to encircle and suppress us.

I want him to move, to move completely.

As long as Chen? As soon as we move, our vitality will be increased...... Although this will anger the Guangling clan, but only a few fallen Bu clans, after he becomes stronger, all grievances will disappear. At that time, who will care about the Huaiyin Bu clan? ”

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, revealing excitement.

Liu Chuang's words revealed a huge amount of information, which made him feel extremely excited.

Childe is not a person who is willing to keep to himself...... He returned to Yingchuan just to obtain more powerful capital. As soon as he gets the opportunity, he will set up another door. A person like Xu Sheng is not afraid that the lord has no ambition, he is afraid that Liu Chuang has no ambition.

"Childe, I'll do it."

Liu Chuang took a deep breath and saw that everyone had no objections, so he showed a satisfied smile.

"Since everyone agrees with me, let's take action.

Let's set off immediately and go straight to Huaiyin County...... Want to come to this time, Chen? Haven't gotten the news yet. We must succeed before Huaiyin is alerted, and the sooner we start, the easier it will be. A moment later, there will be an extra loss, so please work hard. ”

"I'll wait, and I'll do what the son says."

The smile in Liu Chuang's eyes was even stronger.

He took a step, a step he had never thought of before.

If he can succeed and can successfully escape from Xuzhou, then a group of people will gather around him. But if he fails......

Ha, as if he had never appeared in this era!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

June 24 of the first year of Jian'an, early in the morning.

A light rain dispelled the sultry heat that shrouded the county seat of Huaiyin.

Cool weather, people feel very comfortable.

The dispute between Lu and Liu, far north of Huaishui, is gradually calming down, and it won't take long to think that it will be able to return to normal.

The doorman opened the donkey and pushed open the gate of Huaiyin County.

The convoy gathered outside the city immediately became noisy.

"Slow down, slow down...... Queue up, pay the city tax, and get the number plate.

If you dare to make trouble, don't look at me as unsympathetic. The county has an order that the caravan entering the city will increase the tax by 20%, have you heard it clearly? ”

Zhang Donkey's voice was not small, and there was a sudden commotion outside the city gate.

However, since it was ordered by Huaiyin County, people were helpless.

Since Liu Bei and Lu Bu went to war, Huaiyin has suddenly become lively, and business affairs have become much more frequent. The Huaiyin County Commander will naturally not let go of this opportunity to collect money. The laws of the imperial court are no longer passable here. The Huaiyin County Order is here, just like the Emperor of the Soil.

The businessmen scolded and scolded, and there were thousands of reluctances in their hearts.

But they also knew that the people did not fight with the officials, and if they wanted to enter the city, they had to pay taxes.

That's it, it's great to raise the price of goods a little, the business in Huaiyin County is very good, and I believe that the two percent of the tax can be recovered.

So, people lined up and walked in a row.

Zhang Donkey is just a doorman, and whether the tax increases or not has little to do with him.

He was squatting on the steps, talking to his friends, when he suddenly saw two majestic men, carrying heavy goods on their backs, coming to the checkpoint.
