Chapter 90: The Battle of the Counties (4) Ask for a monthly pass!
After nightfall, it snowed heavily.
Snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell one after another, instantly dyeing the earth white.
Liu Chuang was wearing a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with a hundred flower patterns, covered with a large coat made of black wolf skin, holding the female wall with his hands and looking west.
"Xiao Jian's soldiers and horses, how long will it take to arrive?"
"According to the scouts, the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Xiao Jian's forward battalion have set off, and it is expected that they will arrive in Zhuxian at dawn tomorrow.
Xiao Jianqin led an army of 5,000 and then marched. However, he was walking very slowly, and in this kind of weather, I am afraid that it will be a little late. β
"Well, it's snowing!"
Liu Chuang muttered to himself.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and said, "Immediately send someone to inform Zishan and ask him to prepare more bedding and thick clothes...... After this snowfall, I'm afraid the weather will be very cold. Those people who have left their homes may not be fully prepared, and they should be prepared in advance. β
"Whoa!"
"Also, let him prepare more ginger soup to keep out the cold.
After walking so far, the people must have been very tired, and encountered such weather again......
Alas, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer, I don't know how long such days will last. If the people die because of this, I am guilty. Sue SΓΉ Zishan, so that he doesn't have to care about the money, if he can make more preparations, he can make more preparations, and the right is my compensation. β
"Understood."
Zhou Cang took the order and walked down the road quickly.
At this time, he saw Zhuge Liang quietly coming behind Liu Chuang.
"Sad, Qinguan Jingxing, the palace has been made of soil.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer...... Although Liu Gongzi's song is vulgar, it tells the truth. Liang is a little curious, Liu Gongzi, what kind of person are you? β
Zhuge Liang looked confused, looked at Liu Chuang and asked.
This little one. Now it's elusive.
Liu Chuang never deliberately restricted him, what he wanted to see and what he wanted to know, Liu Chuang would let him go.
"What kind of person do you think Kong Ming thinks?"
"I ...... I don't know! β
Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said softly: "But I know that Liu Gongzi seems to attach great importance to my Zhuge family.
The third lady is good friends with my sister, I can see it. She wanted to keep my sister. It's just that...... Although my second sister is not ugly, she is not a beautiful country. And Liu Gongzi's side, whether it is the third lady or the sister Gan, and even the Du family who serves Sister Gan, they are all beautiful embryos. Ten times better than my second sister. Liu Gongzi, do you really like my second sister? Or, is it an ulterior motive? β
Liu Chuang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
said that she would try to keep Zhuge Ling, but why did she get involved in the personal affairs of her children?
To tell the truth, Liu Chuang was in his heart. Now there are only moose.
Whether it is Mrs. Gan or Du Shi, they are all better looking than Elk, but Liu Chuang didn't pay too much attention to it.
He's not a very attentive person. The biggest wish in my previous life was nothing more than to find a beloved, not too ugly woman to spend my life. Once reborn, you can get the love of the moose. For Liu Chuang, he is already satisfied. As for the other women...... Liu Chuang actually didn't think about that at all. Moreover, he didn't have the energy to think about it. Every day except for marching and fighting. is marching and fighting, all Liu Chuang's energy is invested in today's survival, where does he get so much fancy thinking?
What did Jin Jing say to Zhuge Ling?
Liu Chuang didn't know how to answer.
He forced a smile to himself, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard the soldiers on the side shouting loudly: "Son, look, the counties are on fire!" β
He quickly turned around and raised his eyes to look west.
But when I saw the night sky in the west, it was almost burned red by the firelight.
Although the distance is very far, Liu Chuang can still feel the raging flames in the counties.
The fire in Zhuxian shows that Huang Zhen and Wu Anguo have begun to act.
"Kong Ming, immediately call Wen forward."
Zhuge Liang originally wanted to have a good talk with Liu Chuang, but was blocked by the fire in those counties.
However, he also knew that the fire in these counties was imminent. At this time, it is estimated that he is not in the mood to talk to Liu Chuang about other things. So he turned around, and Zhuge Liang left in a hurry. After a while, Xu Sheng ran over panting.
"Wen Xiang, quickly send a team of men to pick up Bozo and Yuanji.
The defense of the city, but are they all ready? β
"Childe, rest assured, the city is ready, if Xiao Jian really dares to come, it will be enough to make his head bleed."
The county seat of Tobu is a lower county, so there is only one city gate.
Depending on the size of the county, the city gates are also very different. There are two city gates in Zhongxian and four city gates in Shangxian...... The city gate of Dongwu County is a good thing for Liu Chuang. At least he can concentrate his forces and don't have to worry about what tricks Xiao Jian is playing. A city gate is equivalent to bearing all the pressure; But for Xiao Jian, he is equivalent to facing all the power in Liu Chuang's hands.
It is difficult to judge which is stronger or weaker.
After Xu Sheng received the order to leave, Liu Chuang held on to the women's wall and continued to observe the situation outside.
"Kong Ming, it is estimated that it will be very cold in the second half of the night, you don't have to stay here, go back and accompany your sister."
I guess she's nervous right now, and if you stay with her, she'll be at ease. In the past two days, you should not move around, and stay in the county government honestly. β
"Liu Gongzi, in fact, you know that I am really using you, right?"
Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether you use me or not, if you use me, it's not a recognition of me.
People are not afraid of being used, and the most afraid is that no one is willing to take advantage of them, then he will lose the value of survival. As long as it's good for everyone, even if it's used, what's the matter? Kong Ming doesn't have to feel guilty about this, in fact, I also want a big victory. β
Zhuge Liang was suddenly silent!
It was the first time he had seen someone show such an open-minded attitude after being taken advantage of.
"But ......"
"Hugh is going to be again, hurry back."
Liu Chuang said in a deep voice: "Recently, don't go to the east and west, and don't get involved in the affairs of our army." Read well, and it's best to read all the books that my father left behind. When this battle is over, I hope you will follow me to Gaomi. β
"Huh?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a touch of joy.
Liu Chuang said with a straight face: "My father has some friendship with Kang Chenggong. As a junior, I should visit now.
It's just that I'm a clumsy person, and someone has to come and help me. As for whether you can worship under the Kangcheng Gongmen, it depends on your own creation. I am only responsible for taking you to see Kang Chenggong, and the rest depends on your own efforts. So...... You know, read well. β
After speaking, Liu Chuang turned around and ignored Zhuge Liang no more.
Zhuge Liang was ecstatic in his heart. There is even a trace of inexplicable touching.
This Liu Gongzi, no matter what his purpose is, at least he really cares about me.
Since the death of his uncle, Zhuge Liang has put the heavy responsibility of the Zhuge clan on his shoulders. On the surface, he was bold and careful. Calm and capable. But deep down, he didn't want his uncle or brother to be by his side, instead of him facing it alone.
Liu Chuang's appearance seemed to give Zhuge Liang a sense of security.
Especially in Fangcai, Liu Chuang's voice was very strong, which made him feel that his uncle Zhuge Xuan was standing in front of him.
Suddenly. Zhuge Liang felt that that Xuande Gong and Liu Yuanjun seemed to be nothing more than that. At least, he wasn't like Brother Meng Yan. At the age of eighteen, he took on such a heavy responsibility alone. It seems that when Liu Yuanjun was eighteen years old, he didn't know where to play.
At least from this point of view, Liu Chuang is stronger than Liu Yuanjun!
From the very beginning. admiration for Liu Bei, disgust for Liu Chuang. Even be careful, until now, Zhuge Liang will always unconsciously compare Xuande Gong and Liu Chuang together. Xuande Gong is magnanimous and benevolent, but he is not as open-minded as Brother Meng Yan. Although Brother Meng Yan sometimes seems very cruel, the benevolence in his heart is not inferior to Liu Yuanjun, and may be more generous than Liu Yuanjun.
"Liu Gongzi, Liang will leave first."
"Go ahead!"
Liu Chuang didn't look back, and stood behind the women's wall with his hands in his hands.
Snow fell on him, dyeing his hair and clothes white.
A gust of wind blew, rolling up his clothes and flying.
The tall back made Zhuge Liang feel an inexplicable sense of security.
He stood at the entrance of the gallop, looked at Liu Chuang for a moment, and then walked quickly along the gallop and walked down the city.
The Great War is coming!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At dawn, the Langya soldiers marched to the counties with great momentum.
But they were greeted in ruins.
The fire burned all night, engulfing the counties in a sea of fire. Those who refused to leave were devoured by the flames, and most of them were reduced to ashes. Some others were spared. And when they came out of their hiding place at dawn, they found that their goods, their silver and gold, and their houses, were all in vain...... A group of people couldn't help but cry loudly in the ruins.
Xiao Jian's vanguard army was also taken aback after figuring out the situation.
They hurriedly sent someone to inform Xiao Jian, and marched twenty miles and set up camp ten miles away from the county seat of Dongwu.
In the afternoon, at about three o'clock, Xiao Jian's troops finally arrived in the county seat of Dongwu.
Knowing that Liu Chuang burned down the counties, Xiao Jian was furious.
He originally planned to use the prefectures as his base camp to put continuous pressure on Tobu. But now it seems that Tobu did not give him such a chance at all. Don't you want to fight? Then let the horses come! I'll be waiting for you in Tobu County, don't play those useless tricks.
Xiao Jiannian is about forty years old, and he has a good appearance.
Speaking of which, this guy is also unlucky.
Appointed by Tao Qian, he was the prime minister of Langya...... I don't want Tao Qian to die as soon as he takes office.
After Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he was driven out of Xuzhou by Lu Bu before he even had time to sit firmly, which made Xiao Jian feel at a loss.
At that time, Zang Ba's soldiers entered Langya.
Xiao Jian didn't dare to compete with Zang Ba, and the wolf bèi evacuated Kaiyang and fled to Yangdu.
He originally planned to take refuge in Cao Cao, but he was met with a fierce reaction from the Yangdu gentry, Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan.
Zhuge Xuan didn't have a good impression of Cao Cao, not for anything else, but only said that when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou the last time, Langya County was also destroyed. Many children of the Zhuge family were killed by the rebels in the war. Among them, there is Zhuge Xuan's only son, who also died unexpectedly.
Zhuge Xuan resolutely disagreed with Xiao Jian's defection to Cao Cao, which upset Xiao Jian.
The two from the initial contradiction. Later, a heated argument ensued...... Zhuge Xuan is Langya Haoqiang, although his family is not as good as it was at the beginning, but the heritage still exists. Zhuge Xuan came forward, and the gentry of Yangdu expressed their opposition. Zhuge Xuan was even ready to tell Zang Ba, so that Xiao Jian finally had to make up his mind to take Zhuge Xuan's life. Unexpectedly, although Zhuge Xuan died, Zhuge Liang's family escaped.
Xiao Jianyi didn't stop doing it, and decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
But......
In fact. The life or death of Zhuge Liang and others is not important to Xiao Jian.
The important thing is that when he just wanted to monopolize power, Liu Chuang slapped him in the face. Let Xiao Jian lose face. He had to defeat Liu Chuang, or rather, drive him out of Langya County. If this is not the case, I am afraid that no one will listen to him.
But Xiao Jian is not a reckless person.
He knew very well that Liu Chuang was able to kill all the way from Xuzhou and defeat Lu Bu twice. It's certainly not an idle person.
Therefore, after he learned that Liu Chuang rescued Zhuge Liang, he secretly sent someone to Gonglai Mountain and ordered Gonglai to send troops to the thieves. Contain Shi Lian's troops. can order the public to come to the thief, Xiao Jian's foundation is about to come out. Subsequently, he ordered Dongguan to send troops to Yunting. intends to attack Shi Jian with the public thief. After solving the threat of Shi Lian's team, Xiao Jian's attention. It is concentrated in Tobu.
Transferring 8,000 elite soldiers from the three counties of Haiqu, Yangdu, and Juxian, Xiao Jian was ready to take Dongwu County in one fell swoop by virtue of his superiority in troops.
However, the counties were burned down by Liu Chuang, which made Xiao Jian suffer a big loss before he fought.
Fortunately, he still kept a little sober, and after arriving at Tobu County, he immediately ordered Tobu to surround him.
"Where are the thieves, now that my heavenly soldiers are here, I haven't opened the city to give the head, and when will I wait?"
Xiao Jian sent people to scold under the city, but saw that there was silence in the head of Dongwu County, as if there was no sound.
The little school scolded even more arrogantly, but when he was scolding happily, he suddenly saw a young man with a strong figure appear on the head of the city. He held a five-stone iron-tired bow, drew his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow, shooting the little colonel under the city.
"Xiao Jian, don't talk nonsense.
Today, you came to invade my city, and a certain Liu Chuang has been waiting for a long time.
If you want to fight, you will fight...... Hugh will follow the example of the woman and show the benefit of the tongue. A certain family debuted in Donghai County, and has traveled thousands of miles over the years, and has seen thousands of heroes. I've seen a lot of elite generals, but I've never seen a fool like you. Even your Lu Wenhou can't help me, you are a little Langya, you dare to come to die. Come on, come on, let the horses come, and let a certain family see what you do. β
After speaking, Liu Chuang bent his bow and arrows again at the head of the city, and an arrow hit the banner erected by the Langya soldiers under the city.
The big sword flew down, but it made Xiao Jian so angry that his face was red.
You Liu Chuang is just a rogue, occupying my Dongwu County, and you dare to say that I came to invade the territory?
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen you so shameless...... Since you want to die, then your true appearance will make you die happily!
Liu Chuang and Xiao Jian don't have any friendship, so naturally they don't need to do that superficial effort.
As Liu Chuang shot down Xiao Jian's Daxu banner, Xiao Jian was no longer polite, pulled out the sword in his hand, and pointed to the gate of Dongwu City, "Pass my order, and the forward army will attack me." β
Thundered!
Dozens of war drums are beating, knock-knock!
The drums became more and more rapid, and the majestic sound of the trumpet echoed in the sky.
The Langya soldiers shouted in unison and launched a ferocious attack towards the gate of the county seat of Tobu.
But seeing the catapult in front of the formation, it creaked and creaked, and huge stones were thrown out and smashed towards the head of Tobu County.
Liu Chuang stood behind the female wall, not moving.
The whistling wolf's tongue arrows shot at the sandbags piled up on the women's wall, and the fine sand flowed down the wall like a stream and fell to the ground.
"Childe, do you want to fight back?"
Liu Chuang shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, when the thief soldiers are nearly three hundred steps, you will know with me." β
After saying that, he sat down on the ground, picked up a wheat cake, rolled a large piece of beef, opened his mouth and bit it hard, and tore off a large piece.
"Childe, it's nearly three hundred steps."
"When the thieves are nearly 200 paces, they will know with me."
Liu Chuang looked relaxed, sat there and devoured it, mixed a one-pound wheat cake with half a catty of beef, and swallowed it in his stomach.
Originally, the soldiers at the head of the city were a little nervous.
But seeing Liu Chuang's appearance as if nothing happened, the tension in his heart gradually faded.
"I think that at the beginning, Lao Tzu killed from Donghai County to Jiangdong, from Jiangdong to Runan, and from Runan back to Xuzhou, I have never seen any scenes.
You guys, who follow me for a while, are like this rabble, and you will feel scared, which is really embarrassing. β
"Gongzi Hugh will laugh at me and wait, and we will see who kills the most thieves later."
Zhang Niu'er shouted loudly.
He was originally from Danyang, and became a prisoner when Sun Ce attacked Danyang.
was later bought by Liu Chuang, followed all the way, and now it is a team leader.
At the beginning, Zhang Niuer was still a little nervous. But seeing Liu Chuang like that, and listening to Liu Chuang's words again, he couldn't help but speak out.
Liu Chuang glanced at him, "Boy, don't be hard-mouthed.
Later, if you can shoot ten people, I'll make you a general. β
"Childe, is this true?"
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase."
Zhang Niu'er couldn't help but grin...... Tun General, that is, a centurion.
In Liu Chuang's view, this tun general is just a grassroots officer, but for Zhang Niu'er, if he becomes a tun general, he can receive a salary, and he can also get armor and weapons, which is a hundred times stronger than the team rate.
"Childe, the thief has taken nearly one hundred and fifty steps."
When Liu Chuang heard this, he picked up the iron tire bow and grinned at Zhang Niu'er, "The archer obeys the order and shoots arrows with me!" β
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, stood up from behind the female wall, bent his bow and arrows, and shot a Langya soldier with one arrow. Liu Chuang learned to shoot with Chang Sheng, and then got the guidance of Tai Shici, and his archery skills have reached an extremely clever level. He didn't look at the enemy's position at all, and he had three arrows in one hand, and the arrows were like beads...... As Liu Chuang launched a counterattack, a series of hoarse shouts sounded on the city.
"Archer, one hundred and fifty paces, shoot from the back!"
Hum, a row of arrows sprang up from the head of Tobu Castle and flew towards the Langya soldiers under the city......
