Chapter 103 The terrible thing is that life is worse than death

Triple hit!

At this time, Liu Chuang was already empty-handed.

And the black shadow came so quickly that it reached him in the blink of an eye.

The sword is a sword with a somewhat strange shape, and at first glance, it is somewhat similar to the golden snake sword of the golden snake Langjun in the later Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

The tip of the sword is forked, like a golden snake spitting out a letter.

Well, the assassin is silent, and he doesn't talk nonsense with Liu Chuang, and raising his hand is a sword.

Liu Chuang jumped and dodged, but he was much larger than the others, so that although he tried his best to dodge, his arm was still cut.

Before he could react, the golden snake sword in the assassin's hand was like a storm.

Liu Chuang dodged left and right, and one of his feet was careless, he tripped over a corpse, and fell to the ground with a bang.

When the assassin saw Liu Chuang fall, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he raised his hand and stabbed with a sword. Liu Chuang rolled on a lazy donkey and dodged the assassin's deadly sword. Taking advantage of the fact that he was rolling on the ground, he grabbed a corpse and smashed it into the assassin. The assassin had no choice but to dodge sideways, and Liu Chuang also took this opportunity to get up from the ground. But before he could stand up, the Assassin lunged at him again.

"Childe, take the knife!"

Zhou Cang's voice was like a thunderstorm, and it reached Liu Chuang's ears.

He threw the big guillotine knife in his hand at Liu Chuang.

When the assassin saw Liu Chuang catch the weapon, the attack suddenly became wilder. And after Liu Chuang got the weapon, he was no longer as wolf as before. The two of you went back and forth for two or three rounds, Liu Chuang suddenly revealed a flaw, and the assassin stepped forward and stabbed with his sword, but saw Liu Chuang spinning in one step on the spot, and the big guillotine knife with a cold light slashed off the assassin's right hand holding the sword.

Bell, the long sword fell to the ground.

The assassin screamed and fell to the ground with his severed arm in his arms.

At this time. Zhou Cang and the others rushed up and held him down.

"Who sent you to kill me?"

Liu Chuang dragged his knife and strode in front of the assassin.

The body was stained with blood, and the whole person exuded a strong murderous aura.

"Big ...... Meng Yan, are you alright? ”

After getting the news, he and Mrs. Gan and Zhuge Ling hurriedly ran to the door. Seeing Liu Chuang's bloody and murderous appearance, Elk couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.

"Shuffled. Get back! ”

Liu Chuang shouted loudly, causing Elk to stop immediately.

When she saw the corpses everywhere outside the mansion gate, she knew that something might not be small.

At this time, Wang Xiu and the others also got the news and hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

See the corpses everywhere. Everyone couldn't help but look shocked.

The Assassin had one of his hands cut off, but he still looked stubborn and strong. Seeing Liu Chuang coming over, he twisted his head, closed his eyes, and didn't speak.

"This person is Deng Zhan Deng Gongwen."

Liu Zheng stepped closer and saw the assassin's appearance clearly. Suddenly he shouted.

He was fine when he went back to his hometown, so he stayed in Gaomi.

Liu Chuang saw that he seemed to be quite brave, so he simply invited him to come to the army, and now he is in command of the bow and arrow battalion.

"Zihe. Do you recognize this person? ”

Liu Chuang turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng.

"This person is a famous young swordsman in Qingzhou, named Deng Zhan, and his words are gongwen. It is a native of Le'anguo.

Deng Zhan, hello duandu. Why did he come to assassinate Meng Yan, could it be that he was instigated? ”

The assassin opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Zheng, showing a look of disdain, and turned his head without saying a word.

Ha, you're pretty strong.

"Come on, give him gold medicine to stop the bleeding."

"Childe, do you have to spare his life?"

Liu Chuang smiled coldly, walked to Deng Zhan's side and squatted down, "What a tough guy, and he is also a character who is not afraid of death."

However, since you have come to assassinate me, then don't blame me for being unkind. If you tell me now who is the messenger, I will give you a good time.

If you don't say it...... Hehe, I will let you know that death is not terrible in this world, what is terrible is that life is better than death. ”

Deng Zhan hoarsely voiced and said sharply: "If you die left and right, why are you afraid?" ”

Liu Chuang patted his face and said softly, "Then I want to see how long you can hold on." ”

After that, he waved his hand and ordered Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo to drag Deng Zhan into the other courtyard.

"Meng Yan, Deng Gongwen is known as a chivalrous person, and his reputation in Qingzhou is not weak.

Even though he came to assassinate him today, he thought that he had been instructed by someone. Why don't you spare him his life, so that the world may know that you are righteous and magnanimous. ”

Liu Chuang groaned and patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder.

"Zihe, I can promise you other things, but this matter is ......

It is precisely because he is a famous ranger that I want to cut him. This kind of person seems to be chivalrous and righteous, but he doesn't know what chivalry is, he only knows how to fight fiercely. It is precisely this kind of person that makes the world even more chaotic. If it had been before, I would have spared him. But when I first came to Beihai Country, I was about to use this person to sue those who committed adultery, otherwise it would become even more chaotic in the future. ”

"But ......"

"Zihe, when the violent Qin caused chaos in the world, he practiced the world with strict laws, so Gaozu made three chapters of the law.

Now the law is broken, and the world is in chaos...... Zihe, in troubled times, you need to use heavy canons. I want to let those people know today that Liu Chuang should not be humiliated. ”

When Liu Chuang said this, Liu Zheng knew that he could no longer persuade him.

He sighed helplessly and nodded, "What Meng Yan said is reasonable, then I will go and find out with Kang Chenggong." ”

Liu Zheng turned around and left!

And Liu Chuang strode into the courtyard.

Zhuge Liang wanted to follow up to see the excitement, but was stopped by Zhuge Ling.

"Kong Ming, don't go!"

"Why...... That person assassinated Brother Meng Yan, and I also want to know who instigated it. ”

"If you want to know, you can ask Liu Gongzi later.

Now, give me back to study, and punish you to copy the Cangjie book thirty times, and if you don't finish it, you won't be allowed to go out. ”

Zhuge Ling knew that if such a situation occurred, the interrogation process must be extremely cruel. She couldn't stop Liu Chuang, because Liu Chuang was also a victim. But she didn't want Zhuge Liang to run to see the bloody scene. I've seen too much of that scene, but I'm afraid that my heart will change drastically.

"Why!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly became anxious, "I didn't make a mistake again." ”

"No why, because I am the elder, you will listen to me."

Seeing the two sisters and brothers bickering, Elk couldn't help but step forward to persuade him. It was not easy to bring Zhuge Liang to the back house.

Lu Jin also felt that the scene would be very bloody later, so don't let Zhuge Liang be a child and run to join in the fun.

Liu Chuang took Deng Zhan to a cross-courtyard, and when he saw that Deng Zhan was still strong, his heart suddenly became angry.

"Come, wait for Deng Da Swordsman to lie down."

Holding the serpentine sword in his hand, he watched Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo press Deng Zhan to the ground with his back facing the sky.

Liu Chuang ordered someone to take a few pieces of straw paper and fiddle with it in his hand. Then he beckoned a flying bear guard to step forward.

This Flying Bear Guard is Zhang Niu'er.

After the Battle of Tobu ended, Zhang Niuer was faced with two choices.

One is to be a general, and the other is to be Liu Chuang's personal entourage in the Flying Bear Guard...... Because of the First Battle of Dongwu, Liu Chuang's Flying Bear Guard. Dozens of people were also lost.

Liu Chuang squatted down beside Deng Zhan and said softly: "Sue me, who instructed you to come."

Don't say anything, you came voluntarily, although your swordsmanship is good, you can't recruit so many dead soldiers to work for you...... Now say, I'll give you a good time. If you toast and don't eat and drink, then I'll make you understand. Death is a relief for you. ”

"Dog thief, everyone will be punished, how can a certain family be afraid of you?"

Deng Zhan suddenly shouted. But before he could finish speaking, Liu Chuang slapped him in the face.

Spread the straw paper on Deng Zhan's face, and Zhang Niu'er picked up a ladle of water and poured it on it. That Deng Zhan couldn't breathe. desperately wanted to struggle, but Zhou Cangwu Anguo was a powerful person. Hold him down, unable to break free. After only a moment's effort, Deng Zhan couldn't stand it anymore. Liu Chuang took off the straw paper from his face, and watched him take a big breath of fresh air, with a touch of calm on his face.

"Now, do you want to say?"

"Dog Thief ......"

Deng Zhan gasped and wanted to scold, but saw Liu Chuang take the draft paper again, stick it to his face again, and wet it with well water.

Once, twice, three times......

When Liu Chuang asked him for the fourth time, Deng Zhan couldn't hold it anymore.

"Peng Xuan, it was Peng Xuan who asked Gong Shalu to order me to come."

Is it Peng Xuan?

Wang Xiu, who was standing in Liu Chuang's depth, looked at Liu Chuang's methods of torturing Deng Zhan, and felt his heart pounding.

But when he heard Peng Xuan's name, his heart couldn't help but twitch...... This Peng Xuan, why is he so ignorant? Kang Chenggong had already made it impossible for Liu Chuang to start a war in Beihai and forbade him to cross Wenshui. I thought that everyone would be safe, but I didn't think that you would jump out by yourself.

When he met Liu Chuang, Wang Xiu knew Liu Chuang more or less.

This is a person who you respect me and I respect you.

If Peng Xuan didn't provoke him, Liu Chuang would definitely not trouble him. But now, Peng Xuan took the initiative to jump out to provoke, with Liu Chuang's temper, how could he give up?

Liu Chuang heard Deng Zhan's answer and stood up.

He turned and walked outside...... When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped again, "Yuanji, give him a good time and send him on the road." ”

Liu Chuang cut off Deng Zhan's hand, and the hatred between the two could not be resolved.

If it was Liu Bei, maybe he would pretend to be magnanimous and let Deng Zhan go...... But for Liu Chuang, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he will never leave such a dangerous person to continue to live in the world. Although Deng Zhan has wasted a hand, it does not mean that he is not a threat. Therefore, he will not let go of Deng Zhan. Since Deng Zhan, as an assassin, was going to assassinate him, he must have been prepared before he started.

Wang Xiu's eyes were compassionate, he glanced at Deng Zhan, whose face was pale, sighed, and turned to catch up with Liu Chuang.

"Liu Gongzi, what are you going to do next?"

Liu Chuang's expression was calm, and he said as he walked: "I will go and inform my father of this matter first, and then ask my father to decide." ”

Wang Xiu took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "Liu Gongzi, Xiu has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Shuzhi, please speak."

"I know you're angry right now, Childe, but the current situation is definitely not the time to use troops.

Childe is in Tobu and has been exhausted from his repeated use of troops. I also know that Gongzi's command is all tigers and wolves, but since Peng Xuan has done it, he must be prepared. At this time, he ventured into war with him, and was at odds with Fadu. No matter what, Peng Xuan is the Beihai minister appointed by the imperial court. Childe now has no official position, how can he send troops to fight? There is a way that the teacher is famous, and the son is reckless, but he is afraid that he will attract the accusations of others, and it will be unfavorable when the time comes. In this matter, it is better to ask Kang Chenggong to come forward. Send someone to Drama County first and ask Peng Xiang? ”

Liu Chuang paused, and then smiled slightly.

"Shuzhi doesn't have to worry, I have my own opinions."

Wang Xiuxin said: What I'm afraid of is that you have an opinion......

Liu Chuang came to Zheng Xuan's mansion and talked with Zheng Xuan in the study for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.

Immediately, Zheng Xuan wrote a letter and asked Wang Xiu to send someone to send it to Xi County.

After Liu Chuang returned to the mansion, he remained silent. For his assassination. That is, there is no hype, and there is no mobilization of teachers.

However, this incident still caused a lot of movement in Beihai Kingdom.

On this day, Liu Ping suddenly came to Liu Chuang's house.

"Liu Gongzi. I've heard people say, "Then Peng Xuan sent someone to assassinate you?" ”

He looked at Liu Chuang, but found that Liu Chuang's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Liu Ping pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I think of the son, I must be angry at this moment."

But he was worried that Peng Xuan was appointed by Cao Cao, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Yes and no? ”

Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed, and he said softly: "How does Pingyuan Gong know? ”

Liu Ping was born in the Plains Liu family, so Liu Chuang was called the Plains. He smiled. He said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult to guess about this matter.

Childe has a strong temperament, how can he allow people to be so bullied?

And in the past two days, Childe has not moved. I guessed that Liu Gongzi must have concerns.

With the ability of Liu Gongzi. Even the tiger never bowed his head. Those who can make the son worry about it, think about it, and hide it from the original prince and Cao A. ”

Liu Chuang smiled but did not say anything, and did not answer positively.

And Liu Ping looked very excited, "Meng Yan actually doesn't have to worry, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, named Han Chen, to be Han thieves."

However, although he is based in Yan and Henan, he is not enough to worry.

There are not no people in the world who are stronger than him...... For example, the first duke of Hebei, the third duke of the fourth generation, was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He had also heard of the reputation of the son, and he was quite close. If the prince gets the help of the original prince, he will kill that Peng Xuan, and Cao Apu will not dare to speak out. ”

"Pingyuan Gong, could it be that he has an old relationship with Yuan Gong?"

Liu Ping smiled, "It's not old to be old, it's just that when I offended Dong Zhuo and fled to Bohai, I funded him."

Yuan Gong is humble and warm, and Corporal Lixian.

He had long heard what happened to Liu Gongzi, and he felt deeply injustice for Liu Gongzi.

When I came to Beihai this time, I originally wanted to invite Kang Chenggong to Yecheng to give a lecture. I didn't want to encounter so many things, so I had to give up. However, being able to get to know Meng Yan is also a blessing. My Han family has such a fierce general as Meng Yan, does he have any reason to be unhappy? ”

After listening to Liu Ping's words, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The boss is really interested!

Of course, Zheng Xuan knows Liu Ping's background.

When Liu Ping stood up and spoke for Liu Chuang, he also wanted to borrow Yuan Shao's prestige.

Although Peng Xuan is the minister of Beihai, he is close to Yuan Tan to the west, how dare he offend Liu Ping? Therefore, when Guan Ning Bingyuan came forward, and Liu Ping stood up to speak for Liu Chuang, Peng Xuan immediately stopped talking and stopped talking. Among them, there is no reason for Yuan Shao.

When he went to Zheng's mansion a few days ago, Zheng Xuan said to Liu Chuang: "Meng Yan don't rush to raise troops first, wait and see." ”

At that time, Liu Chuang still didn't understand who Zheng Xuan was waiting for.

But now, he understood!

Zheng Xuan asked him to wait, wasn't it Liu Ping?

"I have admired Ben Chu Gong for a long time.

It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to see it, and I often regret it in my heart.

Now the Plains Gong came, but on behalf of Yuan Gong? If Pingyuan Gong can represent Yuan Gong, what is Peng Xuan? If I destroy him, it will be as easy as a hand. ”

"Hehe, if Ben heard Meng Yan's words for the first time, he would definitely be very happy.

I often heard him say that he also admired the Marquis of Zhongling. Now that Meng Yan is being bullied by Peng Xuan so much, he must not stop like this, otherwise, where will the name of my Han family and the prestige of the Marquis of Zhongling be placed? But I don't know, how does Meng Yan plan to take revenge on Peng Xuan? ”

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Pingyuan Gong, this matter will be known in a few days." ”

"So, I'll see."

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

In the next few days, it was still calm.

But everyone felt the storm that had brewed after that calm.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered Cao Gong to forcibly take Ye County, and then he personally led the army, sent the troops to Nanyang, and went straight to Wancheng.

Cao Cao's troops were so fierce that Zhang Xiu couldn't resist them.

So under the persuasion of the strategist Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu finally decided to surrender to Cao Cao.

When the news reached Beihai Kingdom, it was already late January.

Liu Chuang learned that Cao Cao had sent troops to Nanyang, and immediately ordered to gather the generals, "I want to cross the glue and seize the two counties of Jimo and Jiaodong, who is willing to pioneer for me?" ”

This time, he didn't mention anything to discuss at all, and directly made it clear that the chariots and horses were going to war.

Bu Qiu and Lu Dai couldn't help but show a faint smile.

In their opinion, Liu Chuang's dispatch of troops is only a matter of time...... Now, the second batch of immigrants in Xuezhou has landed, with a total of 5,000 people. Among them were 1,000 young men and nearly 4,000 women and children. With the arrival of a large number of immigrants from Yuzhou Mountain in Jiaozhou Bay, Liu Chuang's control of Jiaozhou Bay was immediately upgraded to another level.

Donglai County is too guarded and managed, and has dispatched troops and generals from Changyang and Dongmu to transfer troops and horses to garrison Changguang, which has prevented Tai Shici from sneak attack.

Tai Shici took this opportunity to take his mother, wife and children out of Huang County and settled in Buqi County.

It can be said that Liu Chuang has completely controlled Jiaozhou Bay and has caused tremendous pressure on Donglai County......

As soon as he spoke, Xu Chu stepped forward.

"Childe, a certain family is willing to lead the troops there, and they will take Jimo and dedicate it to Childe."

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, his eyes turned, but fell on Xu Sheng, who was sitting on the side.

It seemed that he felt Liu Chuang's gaze and understood Liu Chuang's intentions, Xu Sheng hurriedly got up and said: "Brother Tiger, there is a way to kill chickens with a knife, a small Jimo, there are only two or three thousand soldiers, and there will be no more than three or five, why do you need Brother Tiger to go out?" The younger brother has been following the son for a long time, but he has not made an inch. At least before, Brother Tiger, you captured Tobu County and made your first contribution. Why don't you let me go? ”

If it were someone else, Xu Chu would definitely refuse to give in.

But Xu Sheng's situation is different, first, he has followed Liu Chuang for the longest time, and it can be said that in addition to Guan Hai and others, it is him.

Moreover, Xu Sheng can also be regarded as his own sequence, and the relationship between Xu Chu and Xu Sheng has always been good, so it is not easy to refute Xu Sheng's words.

Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Since this is the case, then Wen Xiang will be the vanguard."

However, Wen Xiang needs to pay attention to the fact that the Jiaodong Gongsha family will not be restrained...... Jimo is not to be worried, but be careful of Nagong Shalu.

In this way, I will let Yuanji be your lieutenant, and tomorrow morning, you will go to Yi'an. ”
