8-26 Follow you, there is meat to eat!

As soon as the infighting touched, He Renlong did not make a move, because he had no chance to draw the knife, Liu Ziguang moved too fast, the steel knife was already on his neck, the blood on the knife dripped into his collar, the hot fishy Liu Ziguang's eyes flashed with anger, he could not tolerate He Renlong's attitude of sitting back and watching himself being besieged, although tactically speaking, this approach was not exaggerated.

He Renlong saw Liu Ziguang's bravery, and didn't dare to move, a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, he saw the killing opportunity from Liu Ziguang's angry eyes, even He Renlong, who was known as a madman, had to give in: "Hou Ye is despicable..."Before the words were finished, a detective horse flew to report: Wuchang City was attacked by the enemy, He Tengjiao asked He Renlonghuo to send troops to rescue Liu Ziguang, then he hatefully put away the steel knife, He Renlong sued the crime, and led the troops to leave in a hurry.

Galloped into the city for reinforcements.

"Why didn't the handsome cut ***." The soldiers of the death battalion said angrily. Liu Ziguang returned the knife into the sheath and said, "It's not time yet." He Ren Long Tie rode on the horse with a blushing face, and the deputy general asked: "General, that surnamed Liu actually dares to do this, or let's go back and kill them all, and plant them on Zuo Mengeng, anyway, no one will know." ”

"Can you kill him or can I kill him?

He Renlong pushed the deputy general back with a word, and continued to gallop towards Wuchang City with a straight face, no one has ever treated himself so rudely, even Zuo Liangyu only dared to scold loudly, and did not dare to face this Liu Ziguang....must be killed! Wuchang City was attacked by the sailors of the left army, in fact, this is a strategy arranged by Zuo Mengeng, the purpose is to attract He Renlong to come back to help, so as to solve the enemy in the shipyard, but the military deployment is not necessarily arranged, the military order transmission of the left army is not so smooth, from the shore to the sailors in the river step by step, there is a certain time difference on the ship, so this side Zuo Mengeng has been defeated, and the attack over there has just begun. The steamship of the sailor shot a giant crossbow at the Yellow Crane Tower on the Snake Mountain, and also sent a number of small sampans to make the appearance of Deng 6, the sound of war drums shouted and killed, and there was a look of trouble, but before He Renlong returned to the city, their feint attack was over, and the banner died down and withdrew to the opposite bank, Zuo Mengeng's Deng 6 troops also withdrew in the same gray manner, Hanyang made He Tengjiao and others confused, and after half an hour, they understood the reason why the left army hurriedly withdrew, because the Yangtze River flood peak arrived. The flood peak crossed Wuhan, the water level rose rapidly, and the flow also increased greatly, and the old boatmen who had been climbing on the river for many years knew that it was not suitable to sail at this time, so they reduced their forces and returned to Hanyang to wait for the crossing of the flood peak. The river is turbulent, the left army will not attack for the time being, He Tengjiao and others can take a breather, the biggest problem in Wuchang at present is the lack of food, the 100,000 victims outside the city need food, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city also need food, but the grain depot is in Hankou, and the control of the Yangtze River waterway is in the hands of the left army, and the grain supply channel is completely blocked, even if the grain in the city is scavenged, it still can't support many days. He Renlong didn't think of this problem when he rebelled, because the fan of Nanchang assured him that the relief grain of the imperial court would arrive immediately, and there was no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass, and now there is no trace of the grain truck of the imperial court, which is also the reason why He Renlong is unwilling to turn his face with Liu Ziguang now, and he fell out with the imperial court, that is, he was attacked on both sides, he He Renlong was not so stupid, not only could not kill Liu Ziguang, but also asked someone to make peace. Liu Ziguang was also very worried, because the shells and bullets were finished, although the manufacturing process was not complicated, but there was a serious lack of gunpowder ingredients, no gunpowder, these weapons were scrap iron, although his three hundred people were brave, but the number was too small after all, and the defense took care of one and the other, so now they must rely on He Renlong's troops. Although the No. 1 boiler of the shipyard was blown up, there were still several other small boilers, Liu Ziguang asked people to repair the No. 1 furnace on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked people to reconnect the pipes of the steam crossbow to the small boilers, and also forced those shipyard workers to move the ruins away, clean up the arrows and weapons in the warehouse, and fully arm the death battalion with cold weapons. It doesn't matter if the cannonballs are finished, recasting the eight-catty solid bullets with pig iron, casting pig iron balls, such a thing is a piece of cake for the shipyard workers, reopening the smelting furnace, making a mold overnight to cast the cannonballs, and by the way, the rough broadsword and spear Liu Ziguang wants to organize the refugees to help him fight. Your one click warms my entire codeword life on 617k literature network to support the genuine Iron Age. The refugees needed food, but the food was in Wuchang City, so Liu Ziguang took ten personal soldiers into the city to discuss with He Tengjiao, and his subordinates were afraid that he would be plotted by He Renlong, Liu Ziguang sneered: "He doesn't dare to kill me yet." Sure enough, as Liu Ziguang expected, as soon as he entered the city, He Tengjiao ran to say with an embarrassed face, please Zhenwuhou give him a face, don't blame He Renlong, and his words also hinted that now Wuchang City is all supported by the He army, and it is not suitable for civil strife, Liu Ziguang laughed and said that General He is a man of temperament, how can he be embarrassed by him.

Got Liu Ziguang's understanding, He Tengjiao invited He Renlong out, He Renlong said with a sincere face, the battle in the afternoon was also to ensure that Wuchang City was not lost, so there was no rush to help, and said that Zuo Mengeng's scheming was really afraid of his ambush, Yunyun, of course Liu Ziguang didn't care about anything, so the two got back together, and they humbly sat down with each other.

Liu Ziguang took advantage of the situation to put forward the idea of recruiting the victims as an army, and selected the young and strong among the 100,000 victims to assist in the defense, Wuchang can also build embankments to prevent floods, and can reduce the possibility of riots by the victims. Liu Ziguang said: "Defend the city, move bricks and smash people, it will always be, I used the civil volunteer team when I was in Jinan, the key is that we received the emperor's order to come to the disaster relief, since the food is distributed to the disaster victims, it is better to let them support themselves, at least 20,000 people can be selected out of the 100,000 victims, so that our troops can compete with the left army." ”

"But how to solve the problem of food, the food in the city is only enough for seven days." He Renlong objected, he was afraid that his soldiers would starve him, and to tell the truth, he didn't care whether the refugees outside the city were dead or alive.

"If there is anything to eat, if there is not enough food, I will eat horse feed, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will not starve to death of the victims. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the emperor's grace and the sincere advice of the saint. Liu Ziguang said categorically.

Hearing his words, He Tengjiao stood up and said, "Lord Liu, Gao Yi, please accept a certain worship." Since Liu Ziguang raised the matter of the disaster victims' meals to the level of political problems, others could not say anything, and after deliberation, it was decided to take out the silver taels to buy grain nearby, and the grain in the city was also purchased at a high price, and the noodle shops like Cai Linji were also the objects of purchase, and a few bags of flour hidden at home were thrown away by the government for a few taels of silver.

The refugee gathering point outside the city erected a recruitment flag, He Tengjiao and other local officials came to the scene in person, Liu Ziguang also changed into a brand new uniform, accompanied him to recruit troops, and another purpose is to strengthen He Tengjiao's strength, at least the Governor He who represents the imperial court can not be a bare commander, he must have soldiers and people in his hands, so that he can play the role of a governor, always rely on the thousands of people who rely on He Renlong, it is not a way after all.

As the saying goes, when the recruitment flag is erected, there will be people who eat food, which is not false at all, and as soon as the banner of recruitment is played, the hungry people flock to it, scrambling to eat food and become soldiers.

He Tengjiao deserved to be an excellent civil affairs official, and his kind words appeased the people, and turned this recruitment activity into an ideological education conference, he told the hungry people that they can eat all thanks to the emperor's grace, if Zuo Liangyu is still in charge, you can't eat a grain of rice, and now Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses are on the other side, and they will come over to grab food at any time, and whether they can keep their jobs depends on themselves.

In this way, the hungry people are even more courageous to fight for the first, they have already complained about Zuo Liangyu's tyranny, after the flood, the Zuo regime basically sat back and watched the victims, no matter how hard it was Governor He to get a mouthful of food for everyone, how could they let them snatch it again.

Among the 100,000 victims, there are 30,000 men who can be used, and then subdivided into three battalions of young men and women who can fight, and each battalion has 3,000 people, and the extra one post is counted as He Tengjiao's governor's guard, and the battalion officers and thousands of generals of the three battalions of soldiers are all sent by Liu Ziguang to serve as the shipyard, and the simple spearhead built overnight is a weapon, and the military uniform has no armor for the time being, let alone think about it, but in any case, almost overnight, the military strength comparison between the two sides of the strait has changed dramatically, and the city of Wuchang is full of soldiers, so He Tengjiao and Hou Xun have a bottom in their hearts, the only unhappy thing is He Renlong, He Tengjiao has soldiers in his hands, and he will no longer rely on him, so He Renlong's hatred for Liu Ziguang has deepened。

In addition to the victims who were organized into an army, the remaining 20,000 men were formed into a people's team, ready to fight the flood at any time, and the flood peak was very hot, and the river rose very badly everywhere, and there was a danger of flooding the city at any time.

Liu Ziguang was still stationed in the shipyard, he brought the strongest battalion of the hungry people's troops to his own system, armed them with the armor and weapons discarded by the left army, and also searched for the dead horses on the position to make broth for them to eat, the soldiers of this battalion are all young people in their tenth and twentieth years, and when they heard that their commander was the famous Zhenwu Marquis Liu Ziguang, he was not excited with tears in his eyes, Liu Ziguang stood on a high place and shouted: "Brothers, are you willing to follow Lao Tzu to beat Zuo Liangyu's turtle son?" The young soldiers shouted: "Yes!" The sound shook the earth and drowned out the roar of the surging river.

Liu Ziguang was very satisfied with this effect, jumped down from a high place, walked up to a soldier, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Why are you willing to follow Lao Tzu?" It was the first time that the little soldier was so close to the big hero, and his excited breath became short, and he replied loudly: "Follow you to have meat to eat!" ”
