"Now that Pengcheng has been taken, we should evacuate as soon as possible and go north to Qingzhou."

Lu Dai raised his arms and said: "If Lu Bu learns that Pengcheng is lost, he will inevitably dispatch troops, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the prince to get out of the enemy." ”

He walked to the map and said in a deep voice, "There are two roads to the north today."

one passes through the East China Sea and enters the North Sea through Langya; The other is to take Rencheng County, go to Taishan County through Lu State, and you can also reach Beihai.

With the strength of the son, it is not advisable to go to the city.

Not to mention that there are many passes along the way, if you go over, you will lose your soldiers; And Taishan County is too guarded by Lu Qian, very human, quite strategic, and has a high reputation in Taishan County. This man is both wise and brave, and he is definitely a difficult opponent to deal with. Moreover, after entering Taishan County, the road is difficult to travel, and there are many mountains. We just learned that there have been Jinan thieves recently, and the soldiers are in Leshan. This fang is ferocious and should not be taken lightly.

In this way, we are equivalent to facing two opponents, Lu Qian and Xu He...... So I thought about it, and it was feasible for Tokai County. ”

Liu Chuang sat upright on the couch chair and didn't say a word.

And Tai Shici and others also nodded again and again in agreement.

"I don't approve of it."

Before Lu Dai's words fell, Bu Qi had already stood up.

"What objections does Zishan have?"

"Dinggong chose Donghai County, I have no objection...... From the current point of view, it is the best choice to go to Donghai County and enter the Beihai Sea through Langya.

Although Lu Bu's general Zang Batun is in Langya, it is not a cause for concern.

But I'm going to do it right away, but I'm not in favor of it...... I don't know if you have noticed that since our army left Ruyin, it has traveled hundreds of miles in a few days, passing through more than ten battles of all sizes. Although they all won one by one, the soldiers were tired and even more exhausted.

If we go now. I am afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied, and even have a heart of betrayal.

Therefore, I thought that we should rest in Pengcheng for the time being, to see the changes, and wait for the opportunity to move, instead of rushing to the road, which will demoralize the people. ”

Only then did Liu Chuang realize that it had been half a month since they came down from Ruyin.

This is half a month. Repeated battles, it can be said that they fought from Ruyin to Pengcheng. Liu Chuang and the others may be fine, but the soldiers are ordinary people after all, and I am afraid they are exhausted. It was hard to occupy a large city, and if you don't rest, you will withdraw. I'm afraid the soldiers may not be willing.

It is true that military orders are like a mountain, but sometimes it is necessary to consider the actual situation.

The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms period did not have the cohesion of the armies of later generations, and they fought as soldiers, more often out of helplessness in life.

Liu Chuang had to take into account the war-weariness of the soldiers, and if he did not relax properly, he was afraid that it would backfire.

"But. If Lu Bu gets the news, what should he do? ”

Lu Dai didn't give in, and said loudly: "Isn't it possible to wait for them to mobilize troops and horses and calmly set up the formation?" ”

"This ......"

Bu Qi hesitated. He said softly: "It's okay to evacuate, but you can't evacuate the whole army, you need to go slowly."

On the one hand, let the soldiers get a chance to rest and respite, and on the other hand, they also have to prepare for the confrontation with Lu Bu...... This thing. You still have to have a son. ”

"I'm coming forward?"

Liu Chuang raised his head with a blank expression.

"How do I come forward?"

"I've heard. Those who are out of Donghai County today, are also Elfang. ”

Ai Ai during the step period, but Liu Chuang frowned.

"Zishan means ......"

"If the moose can help, it can save a lot of trouble."

"It can't be!"

Speaking of which, can Liu Chuang still understand the meaning of Bu Qi?

Looking for Elkfang? Who's going to look for it? The brothers of the Elk family hate Liu Chuang to the core, I am afraid that except for Elk, who used to be a dead word.

Let the moose go?

How could Liu Chuang agree.

From the point of view of Buqiu, if Elfang can make a way, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

This is a good idea, but the problem is that this matter involves elk, and Liu Chuang can't agree to it.

He would rather fight Lü Bu to the death in Pengcheng than agree to let Elk Jin take the risk.

Liu Chuang's resolute attitude also made it difficult for Bu Qi to continue. However, he also knew that this matter was indeed a bit embarrassing for Liu Chuang, so as soon as the conversation changed, he diverted the topic.

Since Liu Chuang did not agree to let Elk go to Tan County, he had to make another plan.

After listening to Bu Qi's words, Lu Dai also had to consider the reality of the fatigue of the soldiers. After discussing for a long time, the two finally proposed to Liu Chuang the proposal to divide the troops. Compared with the 2,000 soldiers and horses who came down from Ruyin, Xu Chu's Xu Jiazhuang Qingzhuang, and the hundreds of people recruited by Shi Jian from Xiang County, the situation is relatively better. These two groups can join forces and enter Fuyang.

Fuyang, located in the upper reaches of the ancestral water, is an important ferry port.

Occupying Fuyang can not only create a certain amount of deterrence for Donghai County, but also leave a way back for the subsequent withdrawal of troops.

The rest of the soldiers and horses rested in Pengcheng for a day before setting off. In this way, the soldiers could get enough time to rest, and create favorable conditions for continuing the march in the future. Liu Chuang thought about it and felt that this idea was good, so he agreed with the idea of the two.

That night, Xu Chu Shi led 1,200 people to set off overnight and rushed to Fu Yang.

Fuyang is also a small county, with a population smaller than that of Zhixiao County, and there are no soldiers and horses stationed.

With the ability of Shi Jian and Xu Chu, it is easy to capture Fu Yang. However, out of prudence, Liu Chuang still decided to send Buqi to accompany him.

Then, Liu Chuang wrote another letter, ordering Huang Shao and Xue Wen to order Pei Wei and Changsheng to go to Yuzhou Mountain.

He must tell Xue Zhou of his destination, so that Xue Zhou can also be prepared. As for whether Xue Zhou will choose to go to Donglai in the future, it is not a question for Liu Chuang to consider. This kind of thing, firstly, depends on Xue Zhou's choice, and secondly, it depends on Huang Shao's eloquence.

Handed over this matter to Huang Shao, Liu Chuang was very relieved.

And with Xue Wen's help, it is not difficult to achieve this matter.

After arranging a qiē properly, Liu Chuang also felt very tired.

He looked at the time, and it was already the middle of the night, so he went back to his room and lay down in his clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.

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

"Uncle, please help me!"

Just when Liu Chuang was asleep, Elk found Liu Yong.

looked at Liu Yong with a stunned expression. She said softly: "I heard that we need to go through Donghai County to go to Beihai...... My second brother is now sitting in Tan County, and he may be able to help Meng Yan. Uncle, I haven't been able to help Meng Yan much along the way, so this time, I want to help him. I didn't know how to help him before, but now. But I had the opportunity to ask my uncle to fulfill it. ”

When Liu Yong heard this, he shook his head again and again.

"Three ladies, how can this be?

At the beginning, you worked hard and tried hard to escape with Meng Yan.

Now if you go back. Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Your second brother has suffered so much from Meng Yan, how can he let you go? ”

Elk hurriedly said, "Uncle, you don't know.

Ruotan County is my eldest brother, I will not go back.

Because I know that my eldest brother is a human being, and he will never let me and Meng Yan go, and he will even use me as bait. forced Meng Yan to comply...... But my second brother is different. In terms of talent, the second brother is not as good as the eldest brother. But the second brother is not a businessman, in fact, he has always disagreed with the eldest brother's idea. I didn't quite agree, and the eldest brother bet all the qiē on the big-eared thief. Now my eldest brother has invested the hard work of several generations of my elk family on the big-eared thief, and the elk family will ...... in the future I believe. The second brother will listen to my advice, at least for the sake of the elk family. He will also make the right choice.

I don't want the hard work of my ancestors to go to waste, so I'm going to go to Tan County to persuade my second brother to come and join him. ”

Liu Yong frowned when he heard this.

Elk's words really made him a little moved.

If the elk family can help, it can add some help to Liu Chuangping......

And when he was in Qu County, he could also see some clues. Lu Fang is not as assertive as Lu Zhu, but he doesn't seem to have a lot of confidence in defecting to Liu Bei. If you can win him over, more or less, it will bring some benefits to Liu Chuang.

It's just that Liu Yong still doesn't feel at ease when he lets Elk go to Tan County alone.

Liu Chuang's side, don't think about it.

If he knew that Elk was going to Tan County, he would definitely not say a word and resolutely oppose it.

Stand up and wander around the room.

The elk's eyes widened with a look of hope.

She went to Tan County, on the one hand, she wanted to help Liu Chuang, and on the other hand, as she said, she didn't want the Elk family to fall.

Still, she had a little bit to think about.

Liu Chuangruo arrived in Beihai and laid the foundation.

Elk also hopes that someone will help her in the future, so that she will not struggle alone.

Who is the most reliable?

Mrs. Kim?

Elk needs friends, but also his own people.

So after thinking about it, she finally set her sights on Elfang.

"You're going, I'm not against it.

But there is one thing, I must go with you ....... Let's take a light car and set off now. After arriving in Fuyang, I will borrow some manpower from Zhongkang to ensure that we will not be harmed by your second brother when we arrive in Tan County. ”

"Uncle, let's go now?"

"Good!"

Liu Yong will do it when he thinks of it, and he will never drag mud and water.

He took his armor bag and led the green horse out; Elk also changed his clothes, rode a pearl, and the two went out of the city overnight and rushed to Fu Yang.

At dawn, Liu Chuang woke up.

He was about to go to wash up, but he saw Mrs. Gan running over in a panic.

"Childe, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

"Gan Niangzi, what happened?"

Liu Chuang asked suspiciously, but saw Mrs. Gan handing him a letter.

After opening it, he glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly, "How can you be so impulsive?" I will handle the affairs over there in Tan County, how can she ...... Gan Niangzi, when did you leave? When did you find out that she wasn't in the room? ”

"The concubine doesn't know when the third lady left.

However, last night Xiaodouzi came back and talked about your quarrel in the lobby, and I was at that time...... Alas, it's all to blame on the concubine. If the concubine had been more careful at that time, maybe this incident would not have happened. When I called her to dinner this morning, I found that she was no longer in the room.

Later, I went to the stables and saw that Pearl was not there...... So he went to the doorman and asked.

Mending said that when he was ugly last night, he saw the third lady and his uncle going out, so he didn't stop him. As soon as I heard about it, I rushed to ......"

Walked with your uncle?

Liu Chuang stomped his foot. Without saying a word, he jumped down the steps.

"Come on, prepare the horses."

Zhou Cang immediately led the elephant dragon over, Liu Chuang turned over and rushed out of the mansion.

He rushed to the gate of the city, but heard from the man Ding that it was indeed ugly, and Liu Yong took a person out of the city, and they did not interrogate.

Uncle, uncle, stupid. Why are you stupid?

Liu Chuang was so anxious that he wanted to go out of the city to chase him.

At this time, Tai Shici and others also got the news, and hurriedly came to stop Liu Chuang.

"Childe doesn't have to worry. Da Liu is not a reckless person.

Didn't the doorman say it just now, they went out from the north gate, as if they were walking towards Fu Yang...... I guess that Da Liu and Sanniangzi will definitely go to Fuyang first, and then borrow some soldiers and horses from Zhongkang before going to Tanxian. Besides, Fu Yang's side. There is also Zishan.

Zishan may not be in the way, but he will definitely go with him.

With Zishan's strategy, coupled with Da Liu's bravery, even if the three ladies persuade the elk to move. Then the elk party will not dare to be unfavorable to the third lady. ”

Liu Chuang felt that every inch was messed up.

Listening to Guan Hai's analysis, he also felt that there should not be much of a problem.

However, this heart is up and down. Some can't settle down. After returning to the mansion, he had no intention of listening to the report of Lu Dai and others. The mind seems to have flown away with the moose.

Seeing this situation, Tai Shici and the others were not easy to disturb.

"Meng Yan, go out for a walk."

"Huh?"

Guan Hai patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Now you are uncertain, and you can't decide things."

Ziyi and the Ding Guild have arranged things properly, you might as well go out for a walk and relax...... I have sent Zhang Cheng to Fuyang to inquire about the news, and he will return when it gets dark at the latest. The third lady and Da Liu are together, you don't have to worry. And it's useless for you to worry. ”

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I have to say that Guan Hai's persuasion method is really ...... Not smart.

But he also knew that his mind was in turmoil, and it was useless to stay in the mansion. So he nodded, and came to the back house with some restlessness.

It's just that in the back house, he is also a little restless.

So he took Zhou Cang and Pei Shao out of the back door of the mansion and walked to the market.

Peng Cheng seemed calm, and did not seem to be in chaos because of yesterday's events. This has a lot to do with Lu Dai's timely appeasement and the opening of the warehouse to release grain. The people also seemed very calm, and on both sides of the street, there were many shops, revealing a bit of noise and excitement.

Liu Chuang's soul was not guarded, and he collided with people several times.

However, the other party looked at him as tall and big, and Zhou Cang and Pei Shao behind him were more like fierce gods, so they didn't come to look for trouble.

After turning for a while, Liu Chuang lost interest.

He scratched his head and was about to go home, when he heard a clanging sound from the corner of the street in front of him.

He walked over to take a look, but it was a blacksmith shop.

However, the farm tools in this shop are not ordinary iron paved zuò, but all weapons...... Pengcheng has been repeatedly warned, so in the blacksmith shop, most of the people will build weapons and buy and sell them in Mingli. Although the government knows, most of them turn a blind eye and will not come to inquire. Liu Chuang hesitated, walked into the blacksmith shop, saw the swords placed on the weapon racks on both sides, and couldn't help but step forward and pick up a sword, and after waving it twice, he put it down......

Have all one's goods in the window!

It looks like a good sword, but it's actually very rough.

Think about it, what kind of good weapons can be made in this kind of street blacksmith shop? Even if it is built, I am afraid that it will be dusty.

He walked to the other side and suddenly saw a strange weapon.

This is a long pole, about three meters long, wooden long pole, one end is a prismatic iron block about 30 centimeters long and about 10 centimeters thick. One end of the iron block is three-edged and sharp, but not particularly sharp. When Liu Chuang saw this weapon, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Yuan Fu, Yuan Shao...... Do you two recognize what kind of weapon this is? ”

Zhou Cang and Pei Shao, obviously never seen this kind of weapon, shook their heads together.

"This is called Yin."

"Huh?"

Liu Chuang turned his head, and saw the blacksmith by the fire coming over, and said with a smile: "Looking at the guest officer's physique, I think he is also a powerful person...... This is called Zhen, which is said to be the most common weapon in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was specially used for military chariots. It is difficult to use. ”

"Oh?"

Whoa!

Liu Chuang really hadn't heard of this kind of weapon, so he couldn't help but copy it in his hand and weigh it.

This rod is about more than 30 catties, which is not particularly handy.

In the "Zhou Li", there is a record of this weapon, saying: Zhen is a bamboo, eight goblets, and two feet. Built in the ...... of military vehicles This weapon later became a ritual weapon. However, with the development of the times, Zhen gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and even many people did not know his true face.

Liu Chuang suddenly felt that his coiling dragon stick. It can be made into a '殳'.

The shape of this mace is somewhat similar to that of the mace of later generations, except that it does not have the kind of barbs on the mace. After Liu Chuang weighed it twice, he shook his head and put it aside.

"What, the guest officer thinks it's too heavy?"

Heavy?

Joke!

Liu Chuang smiled, "It's not heavy." I just feel light. ”

"Light?"

Liu Chuang suddenly, he had an idea, and asked with interest: "I have a big pole, about 100 catties...... I wonder if you can make a corresponding heading? But. I'm going to have a weird skull, with spikes on it to increase the power of the strike, can you make it? ”

"A hundred-pound pole?"

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment. Suddenly asked: "I don't know the big pole of the guest officer, can you take it with you?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Chuang looked at the blacksmith suspiciously. Suddenly turned around and said, "Yuanfu, you go back immediately and get my coiling dragon stick." ”

Zhou Cang went as promised, and Liu Chuang sat down on the side, "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you can make the beheadings I need?" ”

"It's not difficult to do the beheading that the guest officer wants, but I'm afraid the ordinary big pole can't withstand the force.

To tell the guest officer, my ancestor once made a skull, which is quite similar to the shape that the guest officer said, and some mechanisms were specially designed when it was built. But for some reason, the guest did not appear later, and this head was left in my home, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 400 years...... There was also a powerful one before, and he took a fancy to the head, but in the end, no one could use it.

If the guest officer is interested, may you wish to take a look at it first? ”

More than 400 years?

It still sounds like an antique.

Liu Chuang suddenly became interested, and nodded again and again, "In that case, can you take a look?" ”

"Wait a minute, officer."

The blacksmith turned and went into the back house, and in a few moments he saw two apprentices come out carrying a box.

Placing the box in front of Liu Chuang, the blacksmith stepped forward to open the lid.

I saw a skull about one meter long and about forty centimeters thick.

However, it is a little different from the one that Liu Chuang saw before, this one is in the shape of an eight-edged head, and the eight edges converge at the top to form a sharp cone. The whole body of the head is black and shiny, obviously carefully cared for, and there are many hollows on it, arranged in one place, which seems to have a special purpose.

The head did not have the thorns that Liu Chuang requested, but it revealed a strange feeling.

For some reason, the moment Liu Chuang saw this beheading, he immediately liked it. He walked over and reached out to take the head. With this head in his hand, his face changed slightly. If nothing else, the weight of this head is probably more than 100 catties......

No wonder the blacksmith said that Zeng Lishi valued it, but in the end he couldn't take it.

It's too heavy!

However, Liu Chuang was surprised, and the blacksmith and his two apprentices were even more shocked.

When Guy Liu Chuang picked up the head, he didn't look struggling at all, and it seemed to be very relaxed.

"Hey, there seems to be a word on it."

Liu Chuang held the head in his arms, walked to the door, and looked carefully at the bright light: "The city father's good system is in Canghaijun." ”

Who is the father of the city?

Liu Chuang looked stunned, turned his head and said, "Who is City Father Liang, which is Canghai Jun?" ”

However, he also knows that it is in vain to ask.

Sure enough, Pei Shao looked at him with an idiotic face, as if to say: You don't know, why do you ask me?

Liu Chuang looked at the blacksmith again, but saw that the blacksmith also shook his head again and again, "Don't ask me, after the ancestors made this eight-tone sword, they quickly hid it, and they didn't tell anyone the origin of this thing." Even later, we don't know very well. ”

"Good stuff, good stuff!"

Liu Chuang looked at the praise again and again, and his face was even more appreciative.

At this time, Zhou Cang walked in from outside with a coiling dragon stick, and panted and handed the coiling dragon stick to Liu Chuang, "Childe, what's the use of taking it?" ”

Liu Chuang took the coiling dragon stick and hit it on the ground.

Peng's sound is terrifying.

"Why, can you make them one?"

"It's ...... Cow tendon wood? ”

The blacksmith was obviously also a discerning man, and he recognized the texture of the dragon stick at a glance.

He took it, rubbed it twice on his hand, and couldn't help but praise it again and again, "Good rod, good rod...... Presumably, the original owner of this pole is also a powerful person. It's just that I don't know how I lost my weapon later, and I fell into it. Guest, do you really want to use this behead? ”

"I've got you the big rods, why don't you use them?"

"Wait a minute, officer, I'll get the tools."

It turns out that fixing the head on the big pole is not as simple as Liu Yong did before.

There are also many processes involved in this, and it is necessary to fix the weapon well, not to mention the texture of the big rod. This requires a great deal of craftsmanship.

Liu Chuang was not in a hurry at the moment, so he watched the blacksmith take the tools, carefully put the head on the coiling dragon stick, and then fixed it properly.

Every movement is very accurate and definitely practiced hard.

Liu Chuang's heart moved, and he blurted out: "What's your name?" With such good craftsmanship, would you like to work for me? ”
