Chapter 65: Fatal Crisis (Ask for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!) )
"Stop, stop!"
In the dry well, there was an urgent cry.
Obviously, Sun Qian knew that he could not continue to hide. If he was really buried in the well by Liu Chuang, he was a little unwilling.
A rope hung down, and Sun Qian was pulled out of the dry well.
The two guards went up and were about to take him down, Liu Chuang waved his hand and smiled slightly: "Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou!" ”
"It's a certain house."
After Sun Qian stood firm, he looked very calm. He brushed off the dust on his body, and then looked arrogant, almost raised his chin, looked at Liu Chuang with his nostrils and said, "Are you the slave who carried the master, Liu Chuang?" ”
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing!
"Hahaha!" He shook his head again and again, looked at Sun Gan and said, "I heard that Sun Gongyou is a person who knows the times, and he is a fool if he doesn't want to." ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by asking me?"
Liu Chuang's smile did not change, he turned his head to look at the guard beside him and said, "Did you hear it, he asked me what I meant." ”
Before the words fell, Liu Chuang suddenly turned around and slapped Sun Gan in the face with a backhand. The crisp slap sound made the hearts of the healthy soldiers on the side twitch. Sun Qian was slapped to the ground by Liu Chuang, the bamboo crown on his head rolled aside, and his body was even more covered with dust.
The clear and handsome face was covered with blood.
Liu Chuang spat a mouthful, "You know, I hate it when someone pretends in front of me."
To be a captive is to have the consciousness of being a captive! Pretend to be high, you are a villain who likes to sow discord and is greedy for life and afraid of death. When I killed Zhu Cheng's family just now, why didn't I see you so bold? Do you think that if you take the shelf, I will give you face?
You are for the fish, and I am for the sword.
Mr. Sun, in my opinion, you are also a fool who can't see the situation clearly. Use your methods against Liu Bei to deal with me. Useless! ”
Liu Chuang's slap only took three points.
But it was these three points that made Sun Gan's face swollen and tall, and even his eyes were swollen and there was only one slit left.
Teeth were knocked out and bleeding from the nose.
That look, it looks like there are as many wolves as there are wolves, where is there still a little bit of a swaggering posture just now?
Sun Qian is a student of Zheng Xuan, and no matter what time he is, he will maintain a high-ranking attitude. But Liu Chuang slapped him. but beat his loftiness and arrogance to the ground. His so-called celebrity and morale, in Liu Chuang's eyes, is actually not even a hair.
"You ......"
"If you don't want to be beaten, I ask, you answer.
If you have itchy skin. I have a thousand ways to deal with you. Before I get angry, I ask you...... Where is Liu Bei? ”
"Er Yi ......"
Disheveled!
Sun Gan wanted to scold, but unfortunately, before he could scold, Liu Chuang's fist fell on his face.
This punch directly knocked Sun Qian out. The surrounding guards couldn't help but close their eyes and turned their heads hurriedly, they couldn't bear to look at it again.
"The answer is wrong. Where is Liu Bei! ”
Sun Qian understood at this time that the fat man in front of him, who looked honest and always smiled, was a person who did not play cards according to common sense. He struggled to his feet. But there was a buzzing in his ears, as if there were thousands of bees flying. He finally figured out that Liu Chuang was by no means as kind as he seemed on the surface. This guy is definitely a ruthless murderer. If you are strong. Humiliation.
"Liu Yuanjun, I have gone to Xudu now."
Liu Chuang nodded with satisfaction. Motioned to Hu Cong to take a handkerchief, squatted down, and wiped the blood on Sun Gan's face.
"You see, if you answer my words well, you won't have to suffer anything." As he spoke, he stood up and wiped the blood from the back of his hand with a handkerchief. Then he asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't you stay by Liu Bei's side and came to Ruyin?" ”
"I ......"
"I'll answer when I've thought about it."
Sun Gan's heart trembled for no reason, where did he dare to continue to be stubborn, and hurriedly said in a vague voice: "Liu Yuanjun ordered me and Shu Zhi to come to Runan to recruit troops. ”
Liu Chuang frowned when he heard this.
Liu Bei recruited troops in Runan? This also shows that Liu Bei's current troops are extremely insufficient.
Speaking of which, this guy is really unlucky. After being driven out of Xuzhou by Lu Bu, it seems that he has never lived in peace and is wandering around. However, during this period in history, Cao Cao still attached great importance to Liu Bei and treated him like a guest. It's just that this guy was born with a restless life, and after getting rid of Lu Bu, he ran to sign an edict of Raushzi, and was finally completely driven away from Xuzhou by Cao Cao.
However, it seems that it was during this period that Liu Bei was recognized by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and officially included in the ranks of the emperor's relatives.
Prior to this, although he kept saying that he was the queen of Zhongshan Jingwang, he was actually not accepted. It was also this experience that allowed Liu Bei to obtain enough political capital. Regardless of whether he was a real member of the Han family before, after this, he is!
Liu Bei went to Xudu!
It seems like a hassle.
Liu Chuang glanced at Sun Qian, then at the lifeless Zhu Cheng, and suddenly waved his hand, "Send them on their way." ”
He and Liu Bei have a naked hostile relationship, and there is no room for relaxation.
Therefore, he will not make that so-called magnanimous posture, since you want to calculate me, then be prepared to be killed by me.
Whether it was Sun Qian or Zhu Cheng, they didn't resist.
The two were dragged down by four healthy soldiers, and after the knife fell, the head fell to the ground.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This knife goes down, and it's very painful.
But Liu Chuang knew that in this way, he also offended Cao Cao.
The fighting in Ruyin County has stopped, although Zhu Cheng was prepared and ordered people to guard the city gate. Unexpectedly, dozens of big men suddenly came out of the city, and after seizing the city gate, they did not retreat. Tai Shi Ci and Guan Hai led the troops to take the opportunity to kill in Ruyin City, and completely controlled Ruyin County in their hands.
The county government has been cleaned.
Liu Chuang threw the aftermath to Huang Shao and others, and sat in the lobby sullenly.
"Childe, do you want the three ladies to move over?"
Liu Chuang shook his head, "The murderous aura here is too heavy, and it is not suitable for them to live." Let them live in the inn, and the environment over there is not bad. ”
He suddenly asked, "By the way, where is the person you said Lao Huang?" ”
"Just wait outside."
"Let him in."
Huang Shao hurriedly agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard Liu Chuang ask, "Old Huang, what is the name of the subordinate you mentioned?" ”
"Oh, his surname is Zhou Mingcang Zi Yuanfu, and he was originally a Guanzhong person.
Back then, the great sages and good teachers had an incident. He joined in Yingchuan and worked under me. Childe rest assured, Yuanfu is very reliable, and there will be no problems. ”
Zhou Cang!
Liu Chuang couldn't help but shake his body and raised his head suddenly. Looking at Huang Shao.
"You just said that his name is Zhou Cang?"
"yes...... Could it be that Childe has heard of this person? ”
When Liu Chuang heard this, he waved his hand again and again, pretending to be indifferent and smiled: "Lao Huang, what are you talking about, how can I know him?" It's just that for some reason, after hearing the name, I felt a kind of heartfelt intimacy. That's why I asked. ”
Huang Shao felt inexplicable, but he didn't know what to say.
Hear the name and feel familiar?
How come I don't feel this way...... I think my name sounds familiar, but you didn't have that reaction in the first place.
He muttered to himself. And he walked out.
After a while, I saw Huang Shao leading a black-faced man in.
"Zhou Cang, meet Childe."
Liu Chuang had already stood up and stepped forward to help Zhou Cang. "Yuanfu don't be polite, I just heard Lao Huang say your name. There is a sense of intimacy in a certain family. Now that I see it, it's really a good man! If it weren't for Yuanfu today, Liu Chuang's life would have been suspended. ”
When Zhou Cang heard Liu Chuang's words, he couldn't help but feel hot.
He hurriedly said: "Cangjiu admires the life of the Marquis of Zhongling, and I hate to serve the Marquis of Zhongling."
Today, the son values it, and he is willing to serve his life, and he also asks the son to take him in. ”
He is just a yellow turban thief, and to put it bluntly, he is beaten by everyone, like a rat crossing the street. Growing up so big, when did he meet someone as kind as Liu Chuang, Zhou Cang was still a little hesitant. But seeing this scene, he couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly expressed his surrender to Liu Chuang.
Of course, the sedan chair carries people.
Zhou Cang is not a fool, what he said makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
He won't say anything about Liu Chuang's name...... What is Liu Chuang's reputation? If there is, I'm afraid it's also a bad reputation, and it's not even as good as Zhou Cang. But when it comes to Liu Tao, the Marquis of Zhongling, it will be a matter of course. Although Liu Ziqi is dead, his fame still exists.
It doesn't matter if it's because of Liu Tao, the important thing is that Zhou Cang can play for Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang naturally wouldn't tell the ingenuity in this, laughed twice, and pulled Zhou Cang to sit down.
At this time, there was a report from Hu Cong: "Taishi Ci Guan Hai Xu Sheng Xue Wen Buqi Lu Dai Ji General asked to see him outside the door." ”
Liu Chuang hurriedly said: "Please!" ”
Zhou Cang immediately stood up and stood behind Liu Chuang.
It's called a guard...... This seat is not occupied by anyone.
Think about Liu Bei, there are two perennial followers behind him, one Guan Yu and one Zhang Fei. Being able to stand here is enough to be a confidant.
Zhou Cang is motivated, and Liu Chuang naturally will not refuse.
In history, is there such a person as Zhou Cang? Anyway, there are different opinions. It is recorded in the history books that there is no Zhou Cang; But because of the role of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, everyone knows that there is such a person. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether this weekly warehouse is stored or not, and I don't ask if this weekly warehouse is another weekly warehouse. But this person, Liu Chuang still decided to accept it. He did not stop Zhou Cang's behavior, and from a certain Cheng dù, he also acquiesced to Zhou Cang's position.
This also moved Zhou Cang.
Tai Shici and the others came to the lobby and couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Zhou Cang standing behind Liu Chuang.
However, they were immediately relieved and sat down in the lobby.
"Childe, what do you have to tell us when you come to us?"
Liu Chuang closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he said softly: "Gentlemen, the situation may change somewhat. ”
"Oh?"
"Liu Bei, I have already gone to Xudu."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't quite understand what Liu Chuang means.
It was Bu Qi who reacted the fastest, his body shook suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "What does Gongzi mean, then Liu Bei will slander in front of Cao Cao?" ”
Liu Chuang's face sank like water, and he nodded silently.
"What can Liu Bei do if he slanders? Gongzi is a dignified Han clan relative, after the Marquis of Zhongling.
Could it be that Cao Cao can believe it with Liu Bei's words...... Hehe, I think. Childe seems to be a little worried......"
But the problem is that during this period, Cao Cao really believes in Liu Bei!
But Liu Chuang couldn't say it because he had no evidence.
Although Liu Yong went to find Zhong Xuan to come forward, could Zhong Xuan influence Cao Cao?
Liu Chuang, I'm not sure!
Zhong Xuan is a famous man in Yingchuan, and his weight in Cao Cao's camp is not low. Historically, he was indeed very supportive of Cao Cao...... Especially during the Battle of Guandu. Zhong Miao donated more than 2,000 horses to Cao Cao. There is no record in the history books of what kind of horse Zhong Xuan donated, but even if it is a ploughing horse or a chariot horse, it is worth at least more than 20 million yuan. In other words, Zhong Miao is very supportive of Cao Cao.
But now, I'm afraid he hasn't been able to say much in front of Cao Cao.
Li Dao and Guo Yan fought against each other. Li Dao kidnapped the Han Emperor.
Zhong Xuan's monk Shangshu Lang Han Bin planned to rescue the Han Emperor, and the Han Emperor was able to go east out of Luoyang.
After Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, Zhong Xuan added the title of Shangshu to shoot and worship the Marquis of Dongwu Pavilion.
From this point of view, Zhong Xuan seems to be in the line of Emperor Han again...... Cao Cao served the Son of Heaven to order the princes. It will inevitably suppress the Han Emperor's lineage. Therefore, Zhong Miao left Xu Du very smartly and went home to support his heart. The following year, that is, in the second year of Jian'an, he was reactivated by Cao Cao.
So. How useful can it be to find Zhong Xuan at this time? Liu Chuang's own heart is not very solid.
"In any case, thinking about the worst of everything will never be worse."
Liu Chuang took a deep breath. He said in a deep voice: "In case Cao Cao listens to Liu Bei's rumors, and we forcibly seize Ruyin...... This is the yellow mud in the crotch. It's not, it's. If this happens, what should we do? And what should be the choice? ”
When Tai Shici and the others heard this, they couldn't help but fall silent.
yes, what if that happens?
"Childe!"
Lu Dai hesitated for a moment and said softly: "If Cao Cao really wants to use troops, how about the surrender of Gongzi?" ”
"How could Dinggong say this? Won't you be laughed at if you are defeated without a fight?
Besides, if he really surrenders, Childe will have no chance, and when the time comes, it will be better to let others knead it, so it is better to fight. ”
Tai Shi Ci Danfeng's eyes were wide open, and the beautiful hair on his chest trembled.
"Ziyi doesn't have to be excited, Dinggong is also thinking about me...... To be honest, if you are hostile to Cao Cao, you and I really have no confidence now.
However, I will never do anything to surrender.
My father fought with the Ten Permanent Servants back then, and he refused to bow his head knowing that he was dead; How can I surrender without a fight? The matter of surrender should not be mentioned again, and I estimate that if I do surrender, the end may not be good, but it is better to die in battle as Ziyi said. ”
Lu Dai blushed and sat down.
"You can't beat it, and you can't drop it...... What are the plans of the child? ”
"Zishan, what do you think?"
Liu Chuang called Bu Qi, but he didn't seem to hear it. It wasn't until Xue Wen reminded him on the side that he could be considered to react.
"I don't know what to do with this."
"That's ......" Liu Chuang's face showed a look of disappointment. To be honest, seeing that Bu Qi didn't speak just now, he thought that Bu Qi had an idea. But now it seems that Bu Qi may not be able to do anything about it...... Is it possible, do you really want to fight Cao Cao?
Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The deliberations were fruitless, and the crowd dispersed.
In Ruyin County, there is still some chaos, and they also need to be appeased.
After Liu Chuang sat in the county government for a while, he really couldn't think of a clue...... He knew that there was a crisis in front of him. If he can't come up with a way to resolve it, I'm afraid that this team that he has worked so hard to pull together will soon fall apart.
But how?
Strategist, strategist!
Although Lu Dai, Bu Qi and Huang Shao are good, they are not the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period after all.
If he has Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in his hands, even if it is a character like Xu Shu, he may be able to come up with a solution for him quickly.
But what can be done?
Zhuge Liang is still a child, and he may not even have traveled to Wollongong; Pang Tong is in Jingzhou, and it is not easy to win over. What about Xu Shu? At this time, they should have gone to Jingzhou with Shi Tao and Meng Jian to study, God knows where they are......
Thinking about it, Liu Chuang was also very helpless.
The top strategists of the Three Kingdoms period were either already famous or not yet talented.
His luck was really bad.
"Childe, the third lady asks you to go back and rest."
Outside the door, Pei Shao came to report, so that Liu Chuang realized that the sky was about to dawn.
He rubbed his temples and stood up.
Zhou Cang followed closely behind him, and unconsciously, walked side by side with Pei Shao.
When I left the county office, I saw that the streets were still brightly lit. The soldiers cleaned the streets in an orderly manner, clearing the traces of yesterday's war.
On the horizon, the belly of the fish has turned white.
It's about to dawn, and this moment is the night.
Liu Chuang also felt a little sleepy, and accompanied by Pei Shao and Zhou Cang, he returned to the post house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the lobby of the post house, he saw Tai Shici and Bu Qi sitting there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Zishan, General Ziyi, why don't you go to rest?"
Bu Qi saw Liu Chuang coming in, and hurriedly got up with Tai Shici to salute.
"Childe, I'm in the county government, and I can't say some things.
After discussing it with General Ziyi, I feel that Childe's worries are not unreasonable...... After all, Liu Bei has been famous for a long time, and although he is in trouble now, his foundation is stronger than that of his son. Moreover, he also participated in the battle of the princes of the 22nd Route to defeat Dong Zhuo, and he had a long friendship with Cao Cao. If he really wants to slander Cao Cao, I am afraid that Cao Cao's belief in Liu Bei is far greater than the possibility of believing in Gongzi......
Even if Childe can find Zhong Yuanchang to come forward, I'm afraid the effect may not be good.
Unless, Zhong Yuanchang can find someone like Xun Yu and Xun Yu to speak for his son, otherwise, he will have to go to war with Cao Cao. ”
Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed and he sat down on the couch.
"Zishan, you go on."
"Moreover, once we start a war with Cao Cao, I am afraid that the people on our side will also fluctuate.
I'm not saying bad things about Dinggong, but I can hear that Dinggong doesn't want Gongzi to start a war with Cao Cao at this time. ”
"It's nature." Liu Chuang smiled slightly and said softly: "Dinggong was forcibly kidnapped by me at the beginning. At that time, I told him that I was willing to escort his children to Yingchuan Academy. If I go to war with Cao Cao, I'm afraid that the idea of the Lu Kai brothers entering the academy will be frustrated...... He didn't necessarily have any ill intentions, he just thought about himself more. Hehe, this is also human nature, Zishan doesn't have to go to his heart. ”
Bu Qiu smiled slightly, "If Childe doesn't care, how can I blame him?" ”
As he spoke, he exchanged a look with Tai Shici, got up and said, "But if you really have a bad relationship with Cao Cao, what does the son want?" ”
Liu Chuang closed his eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "If I can not fight, I naturally don't want to fight...... But if I really want to fight, I will not be afraid of him. ”
"In other words, Childe is unwilling to surrender?"
"It's better to be broken than to be full of tiles...... My father dared to compete with the Ten Constant Servants back then, although he was not afraid of death. Since I am his child, and I have the blood of Gao Zu flowing in my body, how can I be afraid? ”
When Bu Qi heard this, a flash of joy flashed on his face.
"In that case, I have an idea."
"Oh?"
"It's just that the idea sounds a bit ...... Somewhat whimsical. But if he can really succeed, he can't say that he can find a place for his son to settle down. ”
Liu Chuang's spirits perked up, "Please also ask Zishan to teach." ”

ps: The chrysanthemums of squid sauce are shaking in front of them, but they are not allowed to pick them, and they are unwilling.
There is also a big deal, Ao Gonggong let me pick up soap once, and I was unwilling.
All kinds of unwillingness, gathered into one sentence: I want a monthly pass!!!!
