Chapter 532: Habitual Escape (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
As Lu Lan said, Wei Ba is an outlaw, don't look at him as a Wuling Taishou, and he has just reaffirmed his alliance with Wu Guo, but in a blink of an eye, he actually led someone to attack Yanguan.
You must know that Yanguan is in Lingling County.
This is a very outrageous act, and anyone with a sense of justice should treat him with contempt. Lu Lan is like this, he is very disdainful of Wei Ba.
Lu Xun also criticized Wei Ba's behavior, but he was not because of Weishenme's sense of justice. At the beginning of the negotiations, Wei Ba raised the issue of the Xiongxi tribe, but later did not insist on solving this problem first and then returning it to Pan Jun and others. Lu Xun was vigilant, he believed that it was impossible to maintain a long-term alliance between Wu and Shu, and sooner or later there would be a winner. The reason why he was willing to talk was because the losses were too great and he didn't rescue Pan Jun and others, and Wu's forces in Jingzhou were too weak to actually control Jingzhou. When these people are rescued and this difficulty is overcome, the battle for Jingzhou will continue.
Similarly, for Wei Ba, he also needed a time to breathe, and he needed time to digest Wuling and accumulate liliang for his next actions. When the time comes, he needs a reason, and the Xiongxi tribe can take on this role.
Similarly, Lu Xun also needed a reason to launch an attack on Wuling, so he turned a blind eye to Wei Ba's tricks.
This battle had been decided a few months ago, and if there was an accident, it was just that Lu Xun did not expect Wei Ba to attack in this way at this time.
Since Wei Ba has done the first year of junior high school, he can do fifteen. Taking advantage of Wei Ba's time in Yanguan, he led his army straight to Chenyang. Recapture Chenyang. It is to regain control of Wuling.
Before that, Lu Xun had to take precautions and put up a fence to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation. The richest place in Jingzhou is along the Yangtze River, and the richest place south of the Yangtze River is in Changsha County east of Xiangshui, when LΓΌ Meng seized three counties, Wu Shu divided Jingzhou, Changsha, Jiangxia, Guiyang belong to Eastern Wu, Nanjun, Lingling, Wuling to Xishu, Jiangnan four counties. It seems like half of each. In fact, the anointed land fell into Wu's hands, and Guan Yu later had insufficient military rations, so he had to forcibly take Xiangguan rice, because Changsha, which produced rice, was robbed by Sun Quan.
Lu Xun had to prevent Wei Ba from breaking into Changsha. Beat Changsha to pieces. That would be much greater than the loss of Wuling.
Lu Xun recruited Changsha Taishou Zhou Yi. Let him guard Changsha, and don't let Wei Ba take advantage of the loophole. In addition, it is necessary to prevent Wei Ba from contacting Yuzhang's bandits. Wei Ba's subordinates are all barbarians, good at mountain warfare, if they get involved with the bandits again, it will be a big trouble.
Zhou Yi received the order and stationed troops in Linhao to wait for Wei Ba.
Lu Xun also asked people to pass a letter to Guiyang Taishou, telling him to be on guard and cooperate with Zhou Yi to fight when necessary. Guiyang can be broken, but it can't let Wei Ba pass through Guiyang smoothly and enter Changsha.
Lingling Taishou also received the same order. However, Lingling's security is more stringent, in addition to Lingling's county soldiers, there are also a thousand elite cavalry led by Zhu Ji, which is definitely a Liliang that cannot be ignored.
After making such arrangements, Lu Xun led the army to Chenyang. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Sun Quan, detailing his strategic deployment. He told Sun Quan that because Wei Ba's actions were ahead of schedule, the second duel in Jihua had begun, and he asked the king to make diplomatic preparations and prepare for logistics and transportation, this time, Wei Ba must be eliminated in Jingzhou and never suffer in the future.

Liao Li rolled up his sleeves and listened to the report while looking through the books on the case. After Wei Ba captured Wuling, he was responsible for the operation of the entire Taishou Mansion as Changshi. The establishment of the long history officially shows that the Shu Han regarded Wuling as a border county, a place where war may occur at any time, which also shows the attitude of the Shu Han towards the Wu State. Liao Li himself is a native of Wuling, so he can't be appointed as a Wuling Taishou, but with the identity of Changshi, he can not only manage the civil affairs of the whole county on behalf of Wei Ba, but also take charge of the army when necessary.
Wei Ba attacked strictly, and the heavy responsibility of guarding Chenyang fell on Liao Li's shoulders, and civil rights were of course no exception.
So Liao Li is very busy.
But Liao Li is very cool, he enjoys this feeling of power very much. He felt that this thousand-stone long history was much better than the two-thousand-stone Changshui captain. When Wei Ba was there, he still had to give Wei Ba some face, and now that Wei Ba is on the expedition, he doesn't need to give face to anyone, he is too comfortable.
However, Liao Li's freedom was shattered by the news that Lu Xun was killing and was almost in the water.
Liao Li thought for a moment, tilted his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, stood up, and waved his sleeves: "Withdraw!" β
The officials of the Taishou Mansion next to them were stupid. What, withdraw? You are a long history, Wei Taishou is not there, you are fully responsible, of course, including sticking to Chenyang. How can you run away as soon as you hear about the enemy and not see the enemy's shadow?
A bold official stepped forward to remind Liao Li. Liao Li's eyes rolled, Taishou took almost all the troops, and there are only more than 200 people left in the entire Chenyang now, how to defend it?
The official said righteously, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it, you can't run away without firing an arrow.
Liao Li pouted, I want to guard you, and those who don't want to die will come with me. I am a long history, any responsibility is mine, if anyone wants to do the best, I have no objection, when the time comes, I will report your heroic deeds to the prince.
The officials were dumbfounded, and no one insisted on defending it anymore. Since Changshi said that the responsibility is his, who would be stupid enough to resist Lu Xun.
So, under the leadership of Changshi Liao Li, the officials of Wuling Taishou Mansion went out of the city in an orderly manner, took a boat, and went straight to Longyan Beach. Longyan Beach has a ready-made position, and there are more than 1,000 people led by Han Ru, a young man of the Chenxi tribe, to guard it, which is enough to hold the position of Longyan Beach. If you can't do it, you can retreat deep into the mountains.
Although the officials retreated with Liao Changshi, they were full of slander at him for fleeing without a fight. Many people remembered Liao Li's behavior as too punctual in Changsha, and felt that this thing was a habitual escaper, and as soon as he met the enemy, he habitually ran away.
Liao Li is a smart man, he knows everything about his subordinates, but he doesn't explain it at all. After arriving at Longyan Beach, he began to write letters to inform everyone who needed to be notified.
Lu Xun led his army across the river and appeared in the city of Lipu. However, he found that the city was very peaceful. The city gate was open, there were soldiers standing at the head of the city, and the people who came and went stood quietly and gently on the side of the road, as if they were welcomed, and the smiles on their faces were so sincere that Wu Jun was a little flattered for a while.
As soon as Lu Xun arrived at the door, the guards of Pupu came out.
"Cheng Yi, the commander of the Tuntian Commander of Pupu, sent to meet the auxiliary general."
Lu Xun was a little unaccustomed to it, he looked at this young man who claimed to be the Lieutenant of Tuntian in Pupu, and his face couldn't help but show disdain. Encounter the enemy. The city surrendered without a single arrow. Sending such an important pass as Pupu with both hands, and having the face to come out to greet him? I heard that Liao Li is the Taishou Mansion Gongcao, and he is in charge of all the personnel, this person can't be any relative of Liao Li, right?
"Since you are the Tuntian Lieutenant of Pupu. Presumably, the situation in Pupu is clear. How many people are still in the city? How much grain is left? β
"Back to General. There were also two hundred and eleven soldiers in the city. They are all old and weak, and there are 1,751 people in the people, and there is food. There are also three days of food rations. β
"Poof!" Lu Xun couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and squirted out all the water he had just drunk in his mouth: "Three days? β
Cheng Yi nodded with certainty: "Chenyang transports grain twice a month, and each time it can be used for half a month for the tuntian soldiers and people in the city." The last time I was here was twelve days ago, but it's not just three days left. β
Lu Xun was stunned, and Lu Lan couldn't help but interject: "Then what if we don't come?" β
"If you don't come, I will send someone to Chenyang today to ask for rice, and in two days, the grain will be transported to Lipu." Cheng Yi laughed, smiling brightly: "However, since the general is here, Liao Changshi of Chenyang probably won't be able to transport grain anymore, so we have to surrender the general and ask the general to allocate food." General: If food is scarce, let us eat one meal a day. β
Lu Lan was furious: "You still slandered us? β
Cheng Yi looked puzzled: "Since the general wants to take over Lipu and capture us, won't he give the prisoners food?" β
Lu Lan was about to scold, but Lu Xun stopped him, resisted the urge to scold and said to Cheng Yi: "So, is there no one in Chenyang?" β
Cheng Yi nodded calmly: "According to common sense, there should be no one." Wei Fujun took away all the soldiers who could fight, Chenyang was about two or three hundred people, and he couldn't hold the city at all, and Liao Changshi must have retreated after receiving the news. He then said happily: "The general does not have to worry, the rice in the field will be ripe in three or four months, and there will be enough food to supply the general's men and horses." β
"Let's go." Lu Xun interrupted Cheng Yi's comfort, drove him out, and then glanced at Lu Lan and smiled bitterly in unison. They laughed very bitterly, obviously they captured Lipu without blood, and then they might have to take Chenyang without blood, but they didn't feel a little joy?
"This is the ...... Something isn't right. Lu Xun pondered for a long time before he said. He knew it was nonsense, but he didn't know what else to say besides it.
"General, no matter what, let's occupy Chenyang first." Lu Lan said fiercely: "I still don't believe it, Wei Ba spent so much effort to occupy Chenyang, would he give up so easily?" As soon as Chenyang is lost, can he keep Yuanling and Linyuan counties? β
Lu Xun nodded and sent someone to Chenyang to inquire about the news. Two days later, the scouts returned, and Chenyang, like Pupu, was an empty city, and the city was neatly cleaned as if it had been specially cleaned. In addition, Liao Li also left a letter and put it in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion.
Lu Xun opened the letter and looked at it, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Liao Li said, I will hand over Chenyang to you, how many houses there are, how many soldiers, how many people, how many acres of fertile land outside the city, how many stones are expected to be collected, you collect them one by one, and when you leave, return them to me. If you miss a person, or a stone of rice, I will ask for it from Sun Quan, the king of Wu. In addition, the west wall of the Taishou Mansion is a little broken, so you can arrange for someone to repair it, so that it will not fall down and hurt people when it rains.
Lu Lan couldn't help it and burst into foul language. "M? Rice, your mother, the rice in the field has not yet tasseled, how can there be a grain of rice? (To be continued......)
PS: Lao Zhuang said that day that he wanted to compete for the top six in classification instead of guaranteeing, because Lao Zhuang knew that it was very difficult for Lao Zhuang to classify the top six. Now it seems that Lao Zhuang's estimate is still accurate, just on the third day, Lao Zhuang was squeezed into the eighth classification, and several god-level opponents were eyeing him from behind, and Lao Zhuang was really trembling.
If you still have a guaranteed monthly pass, don't hide it, vote it out quickly, and appease Lao Zhuang's little beating heart.
