Chapter Seventy-Two: Difficult to Travel (2) Ask for a Monthly Pass!
In the carriage, Mrs. Gan had already changed into a silk dress and wore a goose-yellow plain dress.
She knelt in the carriage and cooked a cup of Mengshan tea quite leisurely, tasting it quite deliciously. In the carriage, there is a faint fragrance of tea, which makes people feel peaceful. Bu Luan was sitting next to him, looking curiously at the tea bowl in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Moose, get in the car and come in.
"Three ladies, where are you going?"
"It's nothing, it's just walking around, and I met Meng Yan just now."
"Oh?"
Moose lowered his head and did not speak again.
The appearance of the youngest daughter's home fully shows that she has something on her mind at the moment.
Before thinking about it, she was impulsive and hoped that Liu Chuang would leave Mrs. Gan. But when Liu Chuang came up with a solution, the little girl felt that something was wrong. But what's wrong? She couldn't say why, so she had to run to Liu Chuang to lose her temper.
Mrs. Gan is not much older than Elk, but if you talk about experience, it is far better than Elk.
Born in a small family, she has developed a gentle temperament. And in the gentleness, there is a bit of delicate thinking that ordinary people can't detect. Looking at the appearance of Elk, Mrs. Gan was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little clear. She thought about it for a moment and filled a cup of tea for Elk.
"Xiaoluan, I remember when I uploaded it just now, I seemed to hear Xiaodouzi say that Mr. Huang sent a pair of white wolf skin mattresses.
The weather is getting colder and colder, my aunt is not in good health, and I am tired from the journey, so it is inevitable that I will feel uncomfortable. You go to Mr. Huang to ask for the wolfskin mattress and give it to the old lady. In the future, there will be bumps and bumps, and it is always a good thing to be comfortable. β
Bu Luan's eyes rolled, looked at Mrs. Gan, and then looked at Elk. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and went out.
She is not a fool either, and in terms of experience, she is not inferior to Mrs. Gan.
Therefore, Bu Luan could see at a glance that Mrs. Gan had something to say to Elk.
I think it's the whispers of my daughter's family, and it's hard to let Bu Luan hear it. So she got out of the carriage and happened to meet Xiaodouzi, so she hurriedly stopped Xiaodouzi. Pulled the little bean and went to the side. In the carriage, only Mrs. Gan and Elk were left, and they fell silent all of a sudden. Outside the car, the soldiers and horses were marching, and it was unusually noisy. Mrs. Gan handed the tea to Elk. He said softly, "Let's drink saliva first." β
"Hmm!"
The moose bowed his head and answered.
"The third lady is talking to the son?"
"Hmm...... But he was vague and absent-minded. β
"It's no wonder that Gongzi is not the same as when he first came out of Qu County, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in the future of thousands of people. However, I think the three ladies. It's not that you're bothered by this, is there something on your mind? Or have other ideas? β
"I ......"
The moose's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Gan couldn't see it, and guessed it immediately. The cause of the moose's troubles.
I'm afraid the reason for this is on myself!
But this is not easy to understand, Mrs. Gan thought about it, and then moved her body. He sat down beside the elk and said softly, "I know." The third lady and the son's childhood sweetheart have a deep relationship. But you must know that now Childe is no longer the one who can play with you carefree, he has to take on a lot of things, and he has to think about you and his future...... In this case, instead of blaming him, the third lady should comfort him and share his worries. You see, in this back camp, there are now hundreds of women, children, old and weak. Although the third lady is young, in fact, everyone is looking at you. Your every move will be followed by a lot of people. If you can share your worries for your son, so that he doesn't have to worry about these trivial things, it is the greatest care for him. β
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Mrs. Gan looked at the confused elk, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes.
Elk dares to love and hate, and elk is resolute...... She has many advantages, but in the eyes of Mrs. Gan, Moose, who is only a few years younger than her, is actually a little fool in life. Perhaps it is this confusion that makes Liu Chuang hesitate to do anything for her.
"Liu Gongzi is destined to be the one who wants to do great things!"
Mrs. Gan said softly: "So, the more at this time, the more the third lady should share her worries for him."
This time I went north to Qingzhou, and I will inevitably encounter many troubles along the way. Traveling through the land of the four counties is full of dangers, how can you ask him to care about you all the time? When a husband seeks a career, he will have many troubles. Even in the future, he may change a lot.
The third lady must also learn to follow the son to change, be his virtuous helper, be tolerant and tolerate him, so that he can last for a long time. β
Moose seemed to understand and nodded.
"Sister Gan, what should you do?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you are now a free body, will you leave me when you come to Qingzhou in the future?"
"This ...... I do not know. β
Elk suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Mrs. Gan's arm tightly, and said softly, "Sister Gan, you stay and help me take care of Meng Yan." β
"Silly girl, what stupid are you talking about?"
As if he had made a heavy decision, he said in a resolute tone, "I'm serious...... Actually, I also know that Big Bear is not the same as it used to be. I see that he is tense every day, fighting and killing every day, but I don't know how to help him.
I was scared, afraid that one day, the big bear wouldn't like me.
If Big Bear really doesn't like me, then I'm ...... Sister Gan, will you stay and help me? β
The moose pleaded in an almost pleading voice, causing Madame Gan's heart to tremble.
"This ...... I'll talk about that later. β
"No, I want you to promise me now."
The elk is very stubborn and refuses to back down at all.
She sighed and said softly, "I know that Big Bear likes me, but I also know that people change.
In the past, my eldest brother also liked his sister-in-law, how loving he was when he first got married? But as he became famous, he began to dislike his sister-in-law and felt that his sister-in-law was not from a good background...... Later, he met other women, who had a better family background than his sister-in-law, and were younger and more beautiful than his sister-in-law. The eldest brother divorced his sister-in-law and drove his sister-in-law home...... It didn't take long for me to hear that my sister-in-law was at home...... The cantilever committed suicide.
I don't know if Big Bear will become as ruthless as Big Brother in the future. So I stayed with my sister, and I could also rely on it. β
As he spoke, tears glistened in his eyes.
Those heartfelt words touched the softest place in Mrs. Gan's heart.
She has no one to rely on, and now she is free, but she has no relatives; And what about the moose? Although he still has a family, he has turned against him. It seems that Liu Chuang is the only one she can rely on. Once Liu Chuang became disgusted with her. Her fate can be imagined.
The little girl actually has a very sensitive heart.
It's just that she uses a strong appearance to cover up this sensitivity, if she hadn't opened her heart today, I'm afraid no one would know what she thought.
couldn't help but hold the moose in her arms, and Mrs. Gan didn't speak. but he answered with deeds.
"Madame, we're about to go!"
Outside the carriage, there was a report from a healthy woman.
The carriage creaked and creaked slowly, and with the morning sun of dawn, it headed north......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To be honest, Liu Chuang didn't want to provoke Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu was not weak.
Not to mention that his soldiers are strong and strong. There are also fierce generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to help, and Chen Gong gives him advice.
Lu Bu during this period, even Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly. Although Liu Chuang has 3,000 soldiers and horses, he is in comparison. Far inferior to Lu Bu.
However, to go to Beihai, you have to pass through Xuzhou.
From Suishui to Beihai, at least through Pengcheng, Donghai, Langya three counties. These three places. All of them are under the rule of Xuzhou, although Lu Bu cannot fully control them. But if the war starts lightly, there will still be a fierce battle. Liu Chuang didn't want to fight this war, but he couldn't help it.
On the second day of crossing the Suishui, the soldiers and horses crossed the water and stayed overnight outside Xiao County.
3,000 soldiers and horses forcibly crossing the river is not a trivial matter.
At least in Xuzhou, the appearance of soldiers and horses of unknown origin made all the counties under Peng Cheng's rule nervous.
As soon as Liu Chuang crossed the river, the messenger from Xiao County went straight to Pengcheng.
The name of the guard general of Pengcheng is Wei Yue, and he is a brave general under Lu Bu's account. At the beginning, LΓΌ Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and after Li Dao and Guo Yan led his troops to counterattack and force Wang Yun to death, LΓΌ Bu led his troops to Yuan Shao. When serving under Yuan Shao's account, this Wei Yue accompanied Lu Bu to the Black Mountain Thieves and broke Zhang Yan in Changshan. Later, LΓΌ Bu was arrogant and domineering, and Yuan Shao was wary of him, so he crossed the Yellow River south and came to Yanzhou from Hebei.
Wei Yue is a person with strong martial arts and is good at riding and shooting.
He was ordered to garrison Pengcheng, and there was another task, which was to monitor Zang Ba, who was stationed in Kaiyang, Langya.
It's just that Wei Yue didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, he didn't even sit down on his buttocks, and someone led troops to invade the territory, and Wei Yue was immediately furious.
You must know that Lu Bu's subordinates have just experienced a rebellion.
Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals, was bewitched by Yuan Shu and led his troops to rebel.
Later, although he was suppressed by Lu Bu, he still lost part of his vitality. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Bu did not expand after defeating Liu Bei. It's not that he doesn't want to expand, it's that he does have a weak heart. Hao Meng is Lu Bu's confidant, and even he betrayed Lu Bu, so how could Lu Bu not feel panicked. Even, he was wary of everyone under him, including Chen Gong.
The more this is the case, the more we need to be steady.
Wei Yue didn't want him to encounter a war as soon as he came to Pengcheng.
"Can you find out, who are the soldiers and horses?"
"The county has sent someone to investigate, but before the villain leaves, no news has come...... I only heard that a group of soldiers and horses came from Peijun, about 3,000 people. Xiao County's troops were empty, and the county was afraid of being defeated, so he ordered the villain to come and ask for help......"
Wei Yue frowned when he heard this.
Three thousand soldiers?
This is not a small amount, and it is from Pei County, could it be that Liu Bei belongs?
Wei Yue was extremely disgusted with Liu Bei, but the reason was not clear. He thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "The thief's situation is unknown, so report it to the prince quickly." β
"Wait!"
Before Wei Yue's words fell, he saw someone step forward and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Why is the general so cowardly, just a thief, why should he know with Wen Hou?
Thinking about that Liu Bei, but he has a false name, and he was defeated twice at the hands of the prince and marquis, so there is no need to worry at all. I have a plan to make the thieves retreat at once. β
What a big breath!
Wei Yue looked up and immediately recognized the person's identity.
This person's name is Qin Yi. He is a native of Xinxing County, Bingzhou, quite talented and learned, and his tongue is like a spring, and he is even loved by Lu Bu.
This time, Wei Yue assumed the post of Pengcheng Taishou, and Qin Yi accompanied him to supervise the army...... To put it bluntly, that is, Lu Bu was not worried about Wei Yue, so he sent Qin Yi to monitor. Wei Yue suddenly didn't like it in his heart, but on his face, he didn't show anything. Still with a warm smile.
"Uncle, what's the plan?"
Qin Yi showed a smug look and said with a smile: "Although there are many thieves in my view, they are a rabble.
The messenger said just now that the thieves were carrying a large number of horses and carts. It seems that there is also a family accompanying him. In this way, it will not be Liu Bei's trilogy. Some time ago, I heard that Liu Bei borrowed soldiers and horses from Cao Cao to encircle and suppress the Dangshan bandits...... So I think these thieves are likely to be Dangshan bandits. The general can order the county commander of Xiao County to deal with it pretending to deal with it and drag the thieves and soldiers. Then the general rode out lightly, and the thieves were taken by surprise, and they were sure to win a complete victory. β
When Wei Yue heard this, he felt that what Qin Yi said was also reasonable.
Not bad. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are still in Dangshan, and he has been defeated by Wenhou before, so it is impossible to come to the border.
Most likely, it is the remnants of the Dangshan thieves who escaped from Dangshan. Pass through Xiao County, and want to loot. Then he continued to flee.
The more Wei thought about it, the more he felt that what Qin Yi said made sense.
Although he couldn't quite see this guy who likes to talk about things on weekdays, this time, Wei Yue still decided to believe Qin Yi.
"Uncle Friend's plan is very good, but if I lead my troops to attack, who will stay in Pengcheng?"
"Yi Bucai, willing to stay in Pengcheng."
Qin Yi is about thirty years old and is ambitious.
When he went to defect to Lu Bu, it happened that Lu Bu defeated Zhang Yan.
Lu Bu took him in for the sake of his fellow villagers, but he didn't expect that not long after, he was driven out of Hebei by Yuan Shao.
In Qin Yi's heart, he always felt a little regretful...... But as Lu Bu gained a foothold in Xuzhou, he began to rejoice and was eager to try.
Lu Bu's subordinates have more martial artists and fewer strategists.
Therefore, a scholar like Qin Yi is more likely to be appreciated by Lu Bu.
If he can break the enemy this time, he will not have the credit of Qin Yi's advice...... And Qin Yi also believed that with Wei Yue's ability, he would be able to take the thief lightly.
Wei Yue thought about it and agreed.
He first sent a messenger back to Xiao County to report the news, and then ordered his troops and horses to prepare for the expedition.
Wei Yue's troops in Pengcheng will not be mentioned for the time being.
Let's say that after Liu Chuang and the others crossed the river, to be honest, they didn't think about attacking Xiao County.
Xiao County is just a small city, with a population of only 20,000 or 30,000.
However, as an important town in the west of Pengcheng, Xiao County also has extraordinary significance...... For example, Xiaocang is a strategic reserve granary in Pengcheng. Therefore, the arrival of Liu Chuang and others made Xiao County very nervous, and even Wei Yue attached great importance to this.
But for Liu Chuang, Xiao County is a piece of chicken ribs.
Although there is a small warehouse in the city, there is a lot of grain in stock...... But the problem is that Liu Chuang is not short of grain and grass now. He came down from Ruyin all the way, plundered several county seats, and even robbed countless baggage. Although this burden is important, if it is too much, it will become a burden.
This time I went north, and the soldiers were fast.
If you carry too much baggage, it will affect the speed of the march, which is not what Liu Chuang thinks.
What he was thinking about now was how to get to the city of GuΓ².
"Wei Yue, who knows?"
In the military tent, Liu Chuang couldn't help but ask everyone, but most of the generals present were at a loss.
Liu Chuang knew Zhang Liao and Gao Shun...... He even knew that dead man Hao Meng, but he didn't remember where Wei Yue was sacred. He knew Wei Xu and vaguely remembered that this guy seemed to be a relative of Lu Bu, but in the end, Lu Bu was unlucky and unlucky in his hands.
However, Wei Yue ......
Liu Chuang didn't know, and others didn't know.
Needless to say, Tai Shi Ci Xiao Ling has always been in Jiangdong, and it is impossible to understand.
And Xu Sheng was still in Kaiyang School Palace last year, and Xue Wen has been staying on Yuzhou Mountain Island...... Xu Chu Shilian, of course, has never heard of Wei Yue's name.
So much so that when Liu Chuang asked, everyone looked at each other.
Come to think of it, it's a ...... There is no appearance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there seems to be no record in the history books, so he should be a nobody.
When Liu Chuang thought of this, he didn't take Wei Yue to heart.
"Now that we are already in Pengcheng County, if we can't do all the tricks to pass through Pengcheng, sooner or later we will be surrounded by Lu Bu.
Therefore, we must think of a way, it is best to take Pengcheng without blood, and then quickly go north while Lu Bu has not yet reacted. Gentlemen, we have come to this point, and we must not be stopped by the little Pengcheng, I don't know what you have to say? β
After Liu Chuang finished speaking, his gaze swept over everyone, especially Bu Qi and Lu Dai for a moment.
The two glanced at each other, and Bu Qi stood up and said, "If Gongzi wants to take Pengcheng without blood, I have a plan...... However, the key to this plan is how to lure out the defenders of Pengcheng. If they defend Pengcheng and refuse to fight, I am afraid it will be difficult to take it lightly. β
Luring the snake out of the hole?
In Liu Chuang's mind, these four words suddenly appeared.
Indeed, if Wei Yue defended Pengcheng, although Liu Chuang had 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, it might not be enough.
But the key to luring the snake out of the hole lies in the word 'lead'. How to lure Wei Yue out is also a problem he has to solve at present.
Just when Liu Chuang was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zhou Cang's voice from outside the big tent.
"Childe, when Fang Caizi was patrolling, he caught a Xiao County messenger."
"Oh?"
Zhou Cang and Xiao Ling strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Xiao Ling bowing and saluting, "Childe, I found a letter from that captive." β
"Bring it in."
Xiao Ling handed the letter to Liu Chuang, who opened it and swept it through the ten lines at a glance, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Bu Qi hurriedly asked, "Why is Childe laughing?" β
"Zishan, see for yourself."
Liu Chuang handed the letter to Bu Qi, and after Bu Qi glanced at it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"This day helps my son succeed...... Hehe, I was thinking about how to transfer the Pengcheng garrison out, but I didn't expect this Wei Yue to be sent to the door. β
Bu Qi's eyes flashed with a touch of anger.
"Since Wei Yue has sent it to the door, it is easy to capture Pengcheng."
PS: Today, Saturday, there are only two shifts.
You can take a breath, 15,000 words a day, I write a sore back, I really can't hold on. Let me take a day off and adjust. But I still have to keep asking for a monthly pass!
