Chapter Ninety-Three: Shock
Guan Hai said it lightly, and it seems that it is easy to win.
But Liu Chuang knows how many risks are hidden in this. Not to mention taking a dozen people to the other party's lair, in case the queen money is unwilling to return, or he temporarily changes his mind, Guan Hai and the others are only afraid that they will face the disaster of death. All kinds of dangers, difficult to describe.
It's just that Guan Hai won't say it, and Liu Chuang won't ask for details.
As long as Guan Hai can come back alive, everything else is no longer important!
The Battle of Tobu ended, but for Liu Chuang, it was only the beginning.
After the war, there was still a lot to settle. The wounded need to be treated, and the people need to be reassured...... Not to mention, there are also the people of the counties who lost their homes in the war. Nearly 20,000 people in the counties must settle down as much as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
So, after Liu Chuang discussed with Bu Qi, he immediately made a decision.
"Ziyi, it's your turn."
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly said, "Please give me orders." ”
"If you capture Qian, how many soldiers and horses will you need?"
Tai Shi Ci thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the headquarters cavalry, you can capture Qianqian for your son." ”
"In this way, with you as the main general, I will send another thousand foot soldiers with you, supplemented by Bo Zuo, and you will immediately raise troops and attack Qianqian overnight."
"Whoa!"
"Wen Xiang."
"Whoa."
When Liu Chuang called Xu Sheng's name, Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
All along, he was the commander of the baggage battalion. In my heart, I was already a little impatient, and I wanted to be like Xu Chu and them, and I could fight on the battlefield.
But. Xu Sheng also knew.
Liu Chuang didn't even have a place to stay. This baggage camp became particularly important.
Let him command the baggage battalion. It is also a kind of trust in him...... Now, Liu Chuang has finally decided to let him take charge alone.
"I and you have a thousand soldiers and horses, maybe you will capture Langya County for me?"
"Don't worry, if you can't win Langya, I wish to come and see you."
O man of these years...... At every turn, it is to come to see you, and you will see you with your head.
Liu Chuang was also a little helpless, the so-called no jokes in the army. This phrase seems to have become a mantra.
"Wen Xiang, I don't want you to come to see me, in that case, I'm afraid that Xiaodouzi will have to cry."
In one sentence, a burst of laughter rang out in the yatang, and Xu Sheng felt surprised.
Liu Chuang's face immediately turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't want your head, I just want Langya County...... Wen Xiang, do you understand what I mean? ”
Xu Sheng's face tightened, and he bowed down and said, "Sheng understands!" ”
Tai Shi Ci and Xu Sheng. They were ordered to go away.
In Tobu County, there is still a mess...... Post-war finishing touches. It's not an easy thing to do. There are all aspects involved in this, and overall arrangements need to be made. In addition to the finishing work, there are also 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Guan Hai, which also need to be properly placed. These things are indeed a headache. Fortunately, there is Buqi to take over the past, and Liu Chuang doesn't need to think too much.
"Big Bear, do you need to use soldiers in such a hurry?"
Guan Hai felt a little strange that Liu Chuang was so eager to send troops and horses to seize the two counties of Qianqian and Langya.
Liu Chuang said: "I have 20,000 people from Qianqian from Zhuxian County, and I urgently need to be resettled.
The pattern of Tobu County is really not suitable for resettlement...... After some time, the return of the public Liu Suobu will inevitably cause congestion. Moreover, although we won, Tobu also suffered great damage. With Tobu's current situation, it is simply not possible to accommodate such a large number of people. Therefore, I am going to relocate some people to Langya, so that I can also share some of the pressure of Tobu County as much as possible.
Moreover, it's about to be a waxing moon! ”
"So what?"
"I don't know what Huang Gongmei talked about with Xue Zhou, but if Xue Zhou decides to land, I guess he will choose to arrive before the beginning of spring."
"How so?"
"Uncle Hai, it is not a trivial matter for more than 30,000 people to be resettled.
They must land in advance and be ready to open up the wasteland, otherwise, they are afraid that they will delay the agricultural season in the coming year...... The reason why Xue Zhou wanted to land was because he wanted his sons to live a stable life. If you miss the agricultural time, I am afraid that the headache will be Xuezhou at that time. ”
The capture of Qianqian was to facilitate the landing of Yuzhou Mountain.
Liu Chuang knows very well that what he will face next will no longer be to focus on war, but to quickly gain a firm foothold.
They had planned a three-legged situation, and now the time was almost ripe. The capture of Qianqian and Langya County is the beginning, and only after the 30,000 or 40,000 pirates in Yuzhou Mountain have successfully landed and settled down completely, the three-legged momentum of the Beihai dispute can be regarded as the end. He had to speed up his speed in order to be able to enter the Beihai Kingdom before Cao Cao could react.
Otherwise, it will be another trouble.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Langya County, Kaiyang.
Zang Ba looked at Lu Dai with a smile, and shook his head again and again, "Dinggong, Liu Gongzi's good intentions, I understand it in my heart."
However, now that Lu Qiantun is in the Soldier Pavilion, I can't act rashly. Wen Hou does not approve of us turning against Cao Cao now, and we will send troops at this time......
Although the yang capital is good, the time has not yet come. ”
Liu Chuang sent Lü Dai to Kaiyang to persuade Zang Ba to send troops to capture Yangdu.
He wanted to borrow the hand of Zang Ba to completely drive Xiao Jian out of Langya County, and at the same time contain Lu Dai.
It's just that although he thinks well, Zang Ba is not a fool.
As he said, he also wanted to seize Yangdu, but behind Xiao Jian was Lu Qian, and Lu Qian represented Cao Cao's interests. If he sends troops to Yangdu, it will be tantamount to being an enemy of Cao Cao. With Zang Ba's cleverness, how could he go to Cao Cao's trouble?
Lu Dai smiled.
"I have heard for a long time that Xuangao has the name of bravery, but when I see it today, it is not true."
Zang Ba frowned, "How can you see it?" ”
"My son-in-law persuaded Xuangao to send troops to seize Yangdu, just for the consideration of Wenhou."
"Oh?"
"Xiao Jian's soldiers will definitely be defeated when they commit Dongwu this time.
And in this battle, he will not be able to continue to control zhì Langya. When the time comes. Xiao Jian has nothing more than two options to choose from...... Surrender to Marquis Wen. Or ask Lu Qian to help. If he surrenders to Wen Hou, it's okay to say. It is nothing more than not interfering with Xuangao; But if he asks Lu Zike to send troops to help, when the time comes, when Taishan soldiers and horses enter Langya, what Xuan Gao will face is not a small Xiao Jian, but Cao Cao.
I don't know how to choose Xuan Gao at that time? ”
"This ......"
"My son-in-law has now captured Dongwu, but he has no intention of competing with Xuangao in Langya County.
He just wanted to temporarily settle in the remote town of Langya, and he didn't have any thoughts about Langya County. The general sent troops this time. First, you can seize Yangdu, and second, my son-in-law will also accept your favor. When the time comes, if Lu Qian's soldiers commit Langya, my son-in-law can also echo in the north, so that the general can not only sit on Langya County, but also get an ally who is grateful to the general, why not? ”
Zang Ba couldn't help but be a little moved.
He had to admit that Lu Dai's rhetoric made him a little moved......
"You're so sure. Can your son-in-law defeat Xiao Jian? ”
Zang Ba narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "As far as I know. Liu Gongzi's soldiers are no more than three or five thousand, and there will be no more than five or six people.
And Xiao Jian poured the power of the four counties of Langya this time, with as many as 10,000 troops. If Liu Gongzi has been operating in Tobu for a long time, he may still be somewhat sure. But now that he has a firm foothold, he will face Xiao Jian's army...... Hehe, I swear by the public, but I may not really have a chance to win. ”
Lu Dai showed a look of doubt, and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask the general, who is Xiao Jian?" ”
"Huh?"
"A lost dog's ear, a certain has never heard of him.
I think of my son-in-law, since the birth of Qu County, he has repeatedly encountered strong enemies.
From the East China Sea, he detoured south, extinguished Huaiyin, attacked Ling County, burned Tanglin Pavilion, and went south to Jiangdong.
During the confrontation with my son-in-law, which one is not a hero in the world? After going south, my son-in-law once fought with Sun Bofu to fight the God of War Tingling and subdued Tai Shici. From chatting about dozens of people, it developed to nearly 1,000 people, and then turned to Runan, captured Ruyin, defeated Li Tong, and killed Changnu.
These people are all famous, Xiao Jian may be compared to them?
Later, my son-in-law returned to Xuzhou, captured Pengcheng, captured Wei Yue, fought Wenhou, and retreated to Zhangliao...... Hehe, what kind of character is Xiao Jian. ”
There must be a language problem in his words!
But Zang Ba didn't know how to refute it.
Yes, compared with the opponents Liu Chuang has encountered before, Xiao Jian is indeed not worth mentioning.
Lu Dai continued: "As far as I know, Langya County was originally under the rule of Xuzhou.
The general was valued by Wen Hou, and the troops were stationed in Kaiyang, but they were unable to advance an inch. Maybe Wen Hou won't say anything on his lips, but he may not have no thoughts in his heart. If the general takes Yangdu, he can take Yangdu, Juxian, Dong'an, Dongguan, Haiqu, and Linyi, and most of the county is owned by the general. At that time, I am afraid that even Wen Hou will look at the general differently. Hehe, unless......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless the general is afraid of that Lu Qian."
Syllable!
When Zang Ba heard this, he was furious.
To be honest, he was indeed a little jealous of Lu Qian.
Since Lu Qian became the Taishou of Taishan County, he has made all kinds of strongmen bow down.
At that time, Zang Ba was also a very prestigious branch of the thieves in Taishan, and he was also a little flustered when he saw that Guo Zu and Gongsun Qian had all surrendered from the mountain. So in a hurry, he withdrew from Taishan County to avoid Lu Qian's edge. There was nothing wrong with his choice, but in his heart, he always felt that he was afraid of Lu Qian and left Taishan County, so he always had a grudge against Lu Qian.
Now Lu Dai suddenly mentioned it, and suddenly said that Zang Ba's sore spot.
"Just Lu Zike, what am I afraid of?"
He stood up and was about to get angry, when he suddenly heard a report from a junior colonel outside, saying that there was a report from the Tobu War.
Liu Chuang and Xiao Jian went to war, but it touched the hearts of many people.
Lu Qian is paying attention, Zang Ba is also paying attention, and even Zhang Liao, who is stationed in Tan County, is also interested in the battle situation in Dongwu County......
In addition, there are also the people of Beihai, as well as the forces of all parties in Qingzhou, who are quietly paying attention to the development of the Battle of Dongwu.
Zang Ba took the battle report sent from the front, glanced at it twice, and suddenly showed surprise on his face.
Lu Dai was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
However, seeing the surprise on Zang Ba's face, he suddenly relaxed and made a leisurely appearance.
"Liu Gongzi, it's really a good means."
"Oh?"
Zang Ba smiled and said, "What Dinggong said is right, just Lu Zike." Why worry?
But. What the Duke said is true? If Lu Zike uses soldiers. Is Liu Gongzi really willing to send troops in Dongwu to contain Cao Bing for me? ”
"This is what my son-in-law said personally."
"Hahaha, I suddenly regret it."
Lu Dai said: "What does the general regret? ”
"At the beginning, Liu Gongzi took advantage of Kaiyang and intended to meet with me for a while. It's a pity that I was unwell at the time, so I missed the opportunity to meet Liu Gongzi. Dinggong, please return to Liu Gongzi, and say that I want it from the six counties of Yangdu...... If he has time for Liu Gongzi in the future, please visit Yangdu without hesitation. When the time comes, Zang will be in Yangdu, sweeping the bed and waiting. ”
When Lu Dai heard this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He exchanged a few words with Zang Ba, and then got up to say goodbye.
"General, do you really want to send troops?"
Wu Dun couldn't help but step forward and ask, "This rash dispatch of troops, in case Xiao Jian wins a big victory, I am afraid that the general's reputation will be unfavorable." ”
"Whew!"
Zang Ba snorted coldly and said softly: "Don't worry, Xiao Jian can't come back." ”
"Huh?"
"This is the scout report from the front. Liu Chuang completely defeated Xiao Jian's department at noon yesterday. He himself was captured by Liu Chuang and killed in the county seat of Dongwu. ”
Wu Dunsun looked at Yin Li and the three of them, and they looked at each other when they heard this.
Zang Ba shook his head and said, "Liu Chuang, the tiger and the wolf, you can't be an enemy." ”
"But Lu Zike ......"
"What about Lu Zike?"
Zang Ba turned around abruptly and asked sharply, "Could it be that you and I are scared like this?"
He is just a soldier in the pavilion, which makes us panic. Think about it at the beginning, you and I crisscrossed Taishan County, who were you afraid of? Now that you've been living comfortably for a long time, you don't even have the guts? If you don't want to do it, I will lead my headquarters to attack and see what he Lu Zike can do to me. ”
The composition of Zang Ba's soldiers and horses is very complicated.
In addition to his own soldiers and horses, he recruited four Sun Guan to form the current situation.
Sun Guan's face was red, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Why did the general say such words, when we withdrew from Taishan County, we decided to assist the general. Now that the general has made a decision, we should serve our lives. Lu Zike is rampant and domineering in Taishan County, but if he wants to be strong in Langya County, it is impossible. ”
"Actually, you don't have to worry."
Zang Ba took a deep breath, and then made a smile.
"I will send someone to Tanxian and ask General Wenyuan to help me.
He Lu Zike underestimated me Zang Ba too much, thinking that sending a team of soldiers and horses to garrison Yiting would make me dare not act rashly? Hmph, isn't he stationed in Yiting? I will ask General Wenyuan to garrison the country. When the time comes, it will be up to me to see if I am afraid, or if he Lu Zike is afraid. ”
The country of Zhangguo is the Zaozhuang of later generations.
When Sun Guan and the three of them heard this, they immediately smiled.
If Zhang Liaoken sent troops to help, it would be easy to capture the six counties of Langya......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In November of the first year of Jian'an, the world was peaceful.
But he didn't want a war in Tobu, which frightened countless people.
Liu Chuang defeated Xiao Jian, the Langya prime minister who was several times his own, with weak troops, and Xiao Jian was captured by Liu Chuang and killed in Dongwu City, with his head hanging at the head of the city.
When Lu Qian, the Taishan County Taishou heard the news, he was furious.
He was just about to send troops to conquest, but he didn't want Zang Ba to send troops from Kaiyang, so he almost drove straight in, and occupied the six counties of Yangdu without blood.
And Lu Qian's soldiers and horses stationed in Yiting originally wanted to stop Zang Ba.
Who would have thought that Zhang Liao suddenly sent troops from Tan County and settled in the State of Zhang.
Fei Guoshou's general Gongsun Qian hurriedly sent someone to report to Lu Qian, so that Lu Qian had to stop using troops.
Obviously, Liu Chuang has already formed an alliance with Zang Ba, and may even become an ally with Lu Bu, otherwise how dare Zang Ba be so bold and send troops to capture the six counties of Yangdu?
However, before he digested the news, another scout came to report that Liu Chuang, after defeating Xiao Jian, took Qianqian and Langya counties in three days.
Due to Liu Chuang's rapid dispatch of troops, the Qianqian guards didn't even have to figure out what was going on, and they were captured by Tai Shici.
Subsequently, Huang Zhen led his troops to follow up and cooperate with Tai Shici to stabilize the situation in Qianxi.
Tai Shi Ci is stationed in the military pavilion, and he is eyeing the strong and strong; The day after Tai Shici captured Qianqi, Xu Sheng was almost bloodless and took Langya County. Facing Xu Sheng's army, Langya Ling didn't even resist, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly abandoned the city and fled.
Liu Chuang fought in Dongwu, and he fought too hard!
So much so that when Langya Ling heard that it was Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses, he was so frightened that he fled.
Although Xu Sheng was dissatisfied, he occupied Langya County after all.
He immediately sent someone to report back to Liu Chuang, and after discussing with Buqi, Liu Chuang decided to move back 8,000 people from Xiaohuanshan, and all the rest moved to Langya County. Whether you want to or not, there is only this option. In order to appease these people, Liu Chuang promised each household a large amount of compensation, and the government could rent ploughing cattle and horses when the following spring ploughing was due...... Such a reassuring thing made the people have a lot less opinions.
The counties have been turned into ruins, and there is no way to go back.
Instead of resisting Liu Chuang, it is better to follow orders honestly.
At the very least, they have access to enough food for the winter, as well as land......
Qi County, Linzi.
It was getting late, and Xun Chen came out of the mansion, and it was already the time to hold the lamp.
He returned home full of thoughts, only to find that his wife had already prepared dinner.
After eating two bites casually, Xun Chen returned to the study, sat at the table, and was silent for a long time.
"Husband, but do you have something on your mind?"
His wife, Chen, walked in from outside, brought a bowl of mutton soup, and put it on the table.
Xun Chen suddenly came to his senses and smiled slightly with his wife, "It is true that I have encountered some things that make me some, some, and some undecided." ”
"No matter what, you have to eat.
The husband assists the eldest prince in Qingzhou, and he has heavy responsibilities and needs to take care of his body. ”
Xun Chen smiled slightly, took the bowl from his old wife's hand, drank a few mouthfuls of soup, and suddenly asked, "Madam, how old is Dan'er this year?" ”
"Oh, I'm nineteen."
Chen's age naturally refers to imaginary years.
Xun Chen thought for a while and asked again: "Speaking of which, Dan'er has also reached the age of marriage. ”
Mrs. Chen was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "What is the matter with my husband today, last year, the lord had the intention of being in-laws with my husband, but my husband didn't agree, saying that he was young...... Twenty-eight years old, how can you be young? If you are an ordinary daughter, you have to be a mother in the future. ”
At this point, Mrs. Chen suddenly stopped.
She looked at Xun Chen suspiciously, and said softly: "Husband, the matter in Fujun's heart is related to Dan'er?" ”
Xun Chen hesitated, "Madame, do you remember the Marquis of Zhongling?" ”
Mrs. Chen said: "What the husband said, even if the concubine is forgetful, even Ziqigong will not forget it." ”
Xun Chen took a deep breath, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "That lady knows that Ziqi Gong is not an heir." ”
"Huh?"
"I was discussing with the eldest prince in the palace today, but I heard something by chance.
A few days ago, a group of rogues came from Xuzhou and headed for Beihai Kingdom. Do you know the name of the man who is the leader? Liu Chuang! ”
"Liu Chuang? It won't be Ziqi's brother's brother, right...... Husband, there are countless people with the same name and surname in this world, and ...... back then"
"When Ziqigong's family was in trouble, he didn't find Brother Chuang'er's body.
After so many years, we all thought that Ziqi Gong was the heir. But...... That Liu Chuang actually claimed to be the queen of Ziqigong, and he happened to be the same age as Brother Chuang.
Madam, if he is really a brother, what should he do? (To be continued.) )
