Chapter 61: Why not go back

I would say, is Lan Impermanence the Proud Factory?

Molerate me, hum hum......

Injured, tearful, pouting and clenching fists, starry eyes, rolling all over the ground begging for a monthly pass!

In the afternoon, it began to rain lightly.

The rain after autumn is quite chilly, and it feels very cold when it falls on people.

Tai Shici was already fully awake, sat by the bonfire with a lonely expression, broke off an arm-thick piece of dry firewood, and threw it into the bonfire.

A fiasco that made him feel depressed.

Perhaps, as Bu Qi said, it is difficult to do anything if you stay in Jiangdong.

Liu Xiangkong has the name of Yangzhou Assassin History, but he can't control the situation. There are more incompetent people around him, how can he stop Sun Ce's tiger and wolf division?

Could it be that you really want to surrender to Sun Ce? As Bu Qi said, to be a slave surnamed Sun?

How can this make the arrogant Tai Shici accept!

"Drink some water."

Liu Chuang held a bowl of water and handed it to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici raised his head, glanced at Liu Chuang, and then took it and drank it all.

"General Ziyi, what are your plans?"

Liu Chuang handed him another piece of dry food, took a piece of dried meat weighing half a catty, and took a bite hard, "Do you want to go back to Yuzhang?" ”

"Hui Yuzhang, is it useful?"

Tai Shi Ci didn't know the taste of food, and took a bite of dry food, his eyes full of confusion.

Liu Chuang smiled, "Liu Xiangzao is very famous, so Shang Zang is not." However, in troubled times, according to the people of thousands of miles, they were the princes of one side and abandoned their director. Sun Ce is based on the third Mengyin, with Zhou Lang as his help, and he has the right time and place, and it is almost impossible for Liu Zhijun to defeat Sun Ce. ”

Tai Shi Ci, silence!

He didn't know this truth, but he couldn't make up his mind after all.

"Then Liu Gongzi thinks, how should I choose?"

"In fact, Zishan has already said that if the general wants to follow Wei Qinghuo's example, he needs to go north. Moreover, the general was originally a northerner, good at horse warfare, and unparalleled in horse archery. Staying in Jiangdong, I am afraid that there is no place for generals to display their talents. If you go to the north, it is nothing more than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao is resourceful, arrogant, and not the choice of the master.

However, Cao Cao, who ordered the princes by the Son of Heaven, has achieved the general trend. Although it is still inferior to Yuan Shao, it is broad! I once heard people say that when I was commenting on the moon and dan that year, Xu Shao once commented with Cao Cao: The capable minister who governs the world, the hero of the troubled times, and his person can achieve great things. ”

Taishi Cidan's phoenix eyes closed slightly, and he said softly: "In this way, a certain person should vote for Cao Cao?" ”

"Hehe, what's this...... It is also necessary for General Ziyi to make his own decision. ”

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath, glanced at Liu Chuang twice, and suddenly smiled: "But I don't know what Meng Yan's plans are to return to Yingchuan?" ”

"I haven't arranged this yet.

After returning to their hometown, they need to return to their ancestors and rebuild their ancestral homes...... I think that my family has suffered a change back then, and I think that the mansion has been deserted and needs to be renovated. In addition, it is necessary to visit the best friends of the late father in order to be able to gain a firm foothold in his hometown. As for the future, it is not yet known. ”

Taishi Ci Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Doesn't the prince want to defect to Cao Cao?" ”

Liu Chuang smiled, "With the current situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve Cao Gong for a while." ”

"I see!"

Tai Shici suddenly stood up and stretched.

He looked at the rain outside the shed, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." ”

Leave?

Liu Chuang was stunned and said, "Where to go?" ”

"Wuhu."

Liu Chuang was puzzled, and Liu Yongbuqi and the others also looked extremely confused.

"There are still hundreds of soldiers in Wuhu, I should take them...... I have decided to go north to join Cao Cao. can be single-handed, after all, it is rare for Cao Cao to value it. Previously, Fan Neng defeated Niu Zhu and retreated to Wuhu, surviving for a long time. Although Fan Neng is incompetent, there are still hundreds of Danyang soldiers under his command, how can I abandon them lightly. When I go to Wuhu and take those soldiers and horses away, I can also make a strong name for this northward trip. ”

Liu Chuang nodded, but he didn't think too much about it.

However, a strange look flashed in Bu Qi's eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, outlining a strange smile.

The rain was not heavy, so the crowd marched quickly.

Tai Shici replaced Zhang Ying's lion skull, crossed the bow and spear, and took the lead.

More than a dozen people ran wildly in the rain for half a day, and when it was almost dark, they arrived outside Wuhu City.

Originally, Liu Chuang also wanted to enter the city with Tai Shici. Who knew that Tai Shici refused very simply, and only took Xiao Ling and five personal soldiers straight to Wuhu.

"Ziyi, what does this mean?"

Liu Chuang was puzzled, looked at Bu Qi and asked.

Bu Qi jumped down from the horse, found a dry place to sit down, took out dry food and drinking water from his arms, and said with a smile: "Childe don't worry, Taishi Ziyi wants to take this opportunity to show his bravery to Childe." He hoped that Childe could see what he was capable of. ”

"Show me?"

Liu Chuang also dismounted and let Zhang Cheng and the three of them be in charge of guarding.

Then he and Liu Yong sat down, took a piece of dry food from Bu Qi's hand, took a bite hard, and said, "Good duanduan, what to show me?" ”

"Didn't Gongzi see that Ziyi had the heart to follow?"

"Belong to me?" Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "I have no territory, and I have no name, how can Ziyi be attached to me?" ”

Bu Qi let out a long breath, "I have to admire, Childe's vision."

Originally, I thought that Tai Shici was just a reckless man, but now it seems that he is both wise and brave. I wanted to trick him into going north, and then take the opportunity to get him to join Childe. I think Tai Shici also saw my plan, so I asked you in the grass hut before, what are your plans for the future.

Ruo Gongzi said at the time that he wanted to belong to Cao Cao, and he was afraid that Ziyi would be difficult to move.

Although the partial son did not say his intentions, his ambition was already revealed in his words...... Don't laugh, you are a descendant of the Marquis of Zhongling, and you are a relative of the emperor. These two identities alone are enough to make many people return to you. Ziyi's current situation is that defecting to Cao Cao may not be reused. As long as Gongzi is in one day, Cao Cao will be jealous of him. And Liu Miao is obviously not a person who has achieved great things, so he finally chose you. ”

"Well, it's child's play."

"Maybe it's child's play, but it's also true......

Unless Ziyi is willing to stay in Jiangdong and be what you and I call 'a slave surnamed Sun'. But looking at Ziyi's temperament, he may not be willing to get this reputation. Most importantly, he is a northerner. Staying in Koto has always been an outsider to him...... Although the eldest husband is only in the Quartet, if Jiangdong can't tolerate him, there is no point for him to stay here. It's better to follow Childe and fight for a famous future. ”

"He's gambling!"

"Isn't Childe gambling?"

Gambling is human nature.

Including Liu Chuang, returning to Yingchuan this time is not a gamble.

In fact, he gambled along the way...... Xue Zhou, Lu Dai, Bu Qi, and even Tai Shici today, every decision he made was a gamble. Tai Shi Ci bet this time, but it can be justified. How did he later submit to Sun Ce in history? Liu Chuang doesn't remember very well. However, I vaguely remember that Tai Shici died very early, as if it was more than ten years after Jian'an.

In other words, he died more than ten years after he returned to Sun Ce.

According to his age, he was only in his forties when he died...... However, the martial arts of Tai Shi Ci, who was in the realm of refining gods, died in his forties, which is a bit bizarre. Among them, there is no reason for the depression in my heart. Being in Jiangdong, it is difficult to return to his homeland in this life, and he has to meet the Ming Lord, but unfortunately Sun Ce was killed soon after. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, how could Tai Shici not feel depressed?

Thinking about it, he already had the idea of returning home at this time......

When Liu Chuang thought of this, he understood a lot.

At the same time, he is secretly vigilant: people often say that joy and anger are invisible, and it seems that his kung fu has not yet reached home.

Even Tai Shici can see his ambitions, if he meets Cao Cao in the future, how can he hide it?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang was thrilled with a chill, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat......

The sky will be bright, and the gate of Wuhu City will be opened.

Tai Shici led six hundred Danyang soldiers out of Wuhu County.

Fan Neng is also Liu Miao's favorite general. Because of this, he lost Niu Zhutun, but he was not punished in any way, but lived happily in Wuhu. The news of Zhang Ying's defeat at Shentingling has not yet come, so Fan Neng does not know that Zhang Ying has been killed.

Tai Shici rode a lion skull, pretending to be Zhang Ying's order, and asked Fan Neng for help.

Fan Neng didn't doubt it, so he set up a banquet in the city.

I didn't want Tai Shi Ci to suddenly make a move at the banquet, and joined forces with Ling Xiao and the two to kill Fan Neng and the other twelve people, and controlled Wuhu in his hands.

He selected six hundred Danyang soldiers from the soldiers in Wuhu.

Then he opened the Wuhu Treasury Mansion and distributed the gold, silver, grain and grass inside, which made Wuhu suddenly chaotic.

He took advantage of the chaos to lead his troops out of the city and joined forces with Liu Chuang.

Tai Shi Ci said lightly about the process of seizing the city, and it seemed to be effortless. But Liu Chuang knew that the scene must be very dangerous.

Two people against twelve people......

It's really a shame that Shi Ci is bold.

What surprised him even more was Xiao Ling.

It seems that he and Tai Shici cooperate with each other, and they do complement each other.

"Although there are only 600 people, they can all be ten with one, and they want to live up to the expectations of the son."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Liu Chuang with a respectful expression.

This is called a letter of nomination, I use this Liu Bei Danyang as a congratulatory gift, I don't know if I can enter your Liu Mengyan's eyes?

How could Liu Chuang not hear the meaning of Tai Shici's words, he couldn't help laughing, and grabbed Tai Shici's arm, "If you have Ziyi to help me, won't you shine on the lintel?" ”

This sentence is also very vague, but smart people can hear the meaning of Liu Chuang's words.

Tai Shici's face showed a bright smile.

He said softly: "From now on, I am willing to serve the son of the dog and horse." ”

The two joined hands and laughed again.

Liu Chuang's confidence suddenly doubled...... If before that, he was still a little hesitant to return to Yingchuan, now, he has a strong belief. That's right, you Cao Cao obeyed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but I may not lose to you. I am also a relative of the emperor, even if my father has hung up, but the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongling should not be disgraced. You see, I'm not a strong soldier now, too?

"In this way, we will set off immediately, and strive to cross the river and go to Liyang before it gets dark tomorrow."

This period was the most chaotic period in Koto.

Yuan Shu occupies Huainan, but his eyes have been fixed on Runan and Xuzhou; Sun Ce crossed the river and swept Danyang, and the war was quite tight...... As for Liu Xuan, he has the name of Yangzhou Thorn History, and now he only has Yuzhang County in his hands. Huiji Wang Lang, Lujiang and Lu Kang are in their own ways, and no one can command the other. In this way, how can the entire Jiangdong not be chaotic? However, fortunately, Liu Chuang and the others left in time, if it was two days late, after Zhou Yu arrived in Danyang, I am afraid that if he wanted to cross the river again, it would not be so simple. In fact, when Zhou Yu heard that Tai Shici took Wuhu on horseback, he was also very surprised...... He had a faint hunch that Tai Shi Ci would go north and would likely follow Liu Chuang.

Sun Ce didn't care about Liu Chuang, but it didn't mean that Zhou Yu would despise him.

Even if his father Zhou Yi had been taught by Liu Tao back then, but each was his master, Zhou Yu still had murderous intent and wanted to destroy Liu Chuang.

However, when he was about to make a move, Liu Chuang and his party had already crossed Jiangxi from Niuzhutun.

Even if Zhou Yu was full of regret, he had to put Liu Chuang aside for the time being...... Because, in the case of Danyang, it is necessary to do everything possible to stabilize dìng.

In the Jiangdong region, there are many powerful and powerful, and there are many scholars.

There is also the Shanyue Rebellion, so it has not been very peaceful.

When the world is under great rule, these forces may still be more honest. But when it came to troubled times, forces from all sides took action one after another, making the situation even more erosive.

The first thing Zhou Yu has to face is those local heroes who are doing their own thing, as well as the Shanyue mountain people who are ready to move.

"Meng Yan!"

With a cry of surprise, Pearl came to Liu Chuang with a moose.

Like a dragon and a pearl, they have been separated for a long time, so after meeting, the two horses seem to be extremely intimate, rubbing their necks, as if they are not lovers. Liu Chuang had a smile on his face, and he was speechless. After he crossed the river and entered Jiujiang, he immediately sent people to contact Guan Hai and others.

Guan Hai had already joined up with Elk and the others, and would send scouts every day to inquire about the news outside the city.

Hearing that Liu Chuang and others had arrived, Elk Jin could no longer bear the pain of lovesickness, and rode like a pearl wind to meet Liu Chuang.

"Ziyi, what's wrong with you?"

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath, and a look of envy appeared on his face.

"Seeing my son's appearance, I suddenly remembered my mother, wife and children at home.

It has been two years since I crossed the river to join Liu Yuanjun, and when I left home, my son was already ten years old. When I think about it, I feel a little guilty. I have been married for thirty-five years, and I have been married at the age of twenty-four, but I have been with my son, wife and children for only two years.

Da Liu, after returning to Yingchuan this time, I am going to bring my wife, children and mother.

My son is just at the age of practicing martial arts, so I can take him to my side and train him...... By the way, Da Liu, I will ask you when the time comes, and I will bother to give me more advice. ”

Along the way, Tai Shici and Liu Yong got along well.

Both of them have reached the realm of refining gods, so when they talk, they also have many common languages.

Liu Yong is not a good talker, but if someone talks about martial arts to him, he will be very excited and talk endlessly. Previously, he was silent because no one could talk to him. Whether it is Liu Chuang or Guan Hai, it is too far from Liu Yong's martial arts.

Now that there is a Tai Shici, Liu Yong is much more cheerful.

He smiled slightly, "Ruo Ziyi doesn't think that my ability is low, and I should obey my fate." ”

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knew very well because of Liu Yong's martial arts. Compared with Tai Shi Ci, it is not much better, and this kind of character is willing to give advice, which is of great benefit to his children.

After everyone met, there was still some embarrassment.

This embarrassment mainly stems from Tai Shi Ci and Guan Hai......

Back then, Guan Hai led his troops to besiege Beihai, and Tai Shici fought his way out of the siege in the name of Kong Rong.

So the two of them are not very strangers, so that when they meet, they seem a little awkward. Tai Shici was better, after all, on the way, Liu Chuang had already explained to him about Guan Hai. But Guan Hai didn't know that Tai Shici would also come, so he was at a loss.

However, it was all many years ago.

Guan Hai was in command of thousands of troops at the beginning, but now he is alone.

Tai Shici's situation is not much better than this, originally thought that defecting to Liu Miao would be able to get ahead, but in the end, he only became a military Sima for three years, which is really too embarrassing. When the two met, they couldn't help but sigh, and looking back on the past, they couldn't help laughing.

All the hostility and dissatisfaction also disappeared in laughter.

Tai Shici knew that Guan Hai and Liu Chuang had a very close relationship.

In the future, he will also have to do things by Liu Chuang's side, so why bother thinking about it? Besides, Guan Hai didn't cause him much harm at the beginning.

Seeing that the two turned enemies into friends, Liu Chuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two teams merged together, Liu Chuang was surprised to find that before he knew it, there were more than 1,000 people under his hands.

Xue Zhou sponsored his 200 men, and more than 100 prisoners were captured on the way.

After crossing the river, he bought 300 Danyang soldiers in Qu'a, plus 600 Danyang soldiers brought by Tai Shici from Wuhu this time...... Under Liu Chuang's command, there were more than 1,200 people.

So, Liu Chuang ordered a day off in the town west of Liyang.

Then after some discussion with Guan Haitai Shi Ci and others, he decided to divide the soldiers and horses into two parts and two songs.

There were a total of 900 Danyang soldiers, and Tai Shici and Guan Hai each led 400 people, which were two departments.

There were more than 100 cavalry troops, plus 100 Danyang foot soldiers, for a song, which was personally commanded by Liu Chuang.

The remaining more than 200 people became baggage soldiers and handed over to Huang Shao. Lu Dai and Bu Qi temporarily received the order to join the army, and the rest of the people have their own appointments. After a day's rest, morale changes. More than 20 baggage trucks, carrying a large amount of gold, silver, jade, grain and grass, drove from the town and headed west.

With such a team of soldiers and horses, Liu Chuang finally stabilized his mind.

The situation in Jiujiang County was not much different from that of Danyang, and Yuan Shu's attention was focused on Runan and Xuzhou, so he didn't care too much about the soldiers and horses that had been appearing in his rear. Although some bandits tried to block the road along the way, they were easily solved by Tai Shici and others.

So, along the way, it was easy.

Since Liu Chuang joined the team, he handed over the soldiers and horses to Tai Shici and Guan Hai and others to take care of.

Now that he has Bu Qi and Lu Dai by his side, it is much easier, so he has a lot of time to ask Liu Yong for advice, and at the same time digest the harvest of the battle with Sun Ce at the foot of the Shenting Ridge that day. In the battle with Sun Ce, Liu Yong gained a lot and had touched the door of refining gods.

In Liu Yong's words, he is still one chance away.

It's just that Liu Chuang doesn't know when this opportunity will come.

Since Liu Chuang came back, he also abandoned the car and rode the horse. She handed over the chariot to Mrs. Gan to ride, and most of the time, she rode a pearl to follow Liu Chuang.

In this way, almost a month passed.

After a month of wearing stars and moons, everyone arrived at the upper reaches of the water, and in front of them was the Taotao Huaishui.

In July, when the Huaishui water flow was the most urgent, Liu Chuang and others couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they looked at the Taotao Huaishui.

After passing the Huaishui, even if you enter Runan.

But the current is so fast, if there is no ferry to transport it, it will be a trouble after all.

But where do you find a boat to cross the river?

Just when Liu Chuang felt a headache, Huang Shao came to his side, "Childe don't worry, twenty miles to the west, there is a small county, called Maqiu, with a population of only three or five thousand people, and the garrison is extremely lax. Outside the city of Maqiu, there is a ferry port where dozens of ships are moored.

After dark, we took Machu overnight, and then crossed the river from Machu, and before dawn we could all reach the opposite bank. ”
