Chapter 127: Fight to the Death
Cheng Liu has been exposed to a lot of side doors since he crossed over to the present, but he doesn't know how to coax contemporary young women, and he has to think carefully about the three words sorry for a long time.
Yu Youkui, who was in a hurry to rush to the carriage, was stunned and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Liu slapped his head, got! After apologizing, it is a routine of reasoning, and women in the world are generally fine!
"I was wrong that I shouldn't have bought the melon farmer's stall on my own initiative, and I was even more wrong that I didn't apologize to you in the first place. I was wrong before, it was wrong whether it was meaningful or not, it was your previous way of coming, I shouldn't point fingers, this is your choice, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Yu Yukui turned his back to Cheng Liu, and his figure pulled a long diagonal line.
Hearing this, he just raised the corners of his mouth without showing a trace, and it was more difficult to make Yumu's head say this conclusion, which was more difficult than poetry.
"This girl doesn't want to ride in the carriage anymore."
Cheng Liu pointed to the endless mountain road not far ahead, and asked, "Hiking?" ”
Yu Youkui didn't talk nonsense and jumped into the carriage.
……
At night, the inn was lit up with red lanterns, and a group of people stood side by side outside, all holding torches in their hands.
When the two carriages stopped, they raised their torches high and bent down slightly, forming a proper angle for the salute.
Cheng Liu was not interested in this, bypassed the pedestrian and went straight into the house.
There was already a person waiting in the room, it was a middle-aged man with a gray beard, and his resolute face had been full of vicissitudes at a glance, and he had carved a lot of traces of time, but if he looked closely, he could still vaguely see that he was also a dignified man when he was a teenager.
"Read."
Cheng Liu sat down, and one person poured a cup of tea, and Yu Youkui reached out and probed it for a while, and handed it to Cheng Liu.
And the middle-aged rough man began to groan: "Now the atmosphere in Yuzhou is extremely poor, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, coupled with the decline of the Han family, the majesty of the past is not there, so we can only let the situation in Yuzhou change, and the law is difficult to bind." ”
"In addition, more and more heroes began to change, such as Liu Qingshan, a former bachelor, who assisted the Yuzhou Assassin Shi to give advice, and wanted to take charge of the soldiers, horses, grain and grass of the three armies, but the assassin died in the mansion in less than three days, and the female relatives of the family also committed suicide by hanging the beam in the middle of the night, and they died blindly."
"Bachelor Liu Qingshan wanted to escape with his family overnight, but his body was found on a mountain road outside Runan City in the early morning, and the file only recorded that he died by mountain bandits, and the reason is not yet known."
After listening quietly, Cheng Liu only said a bad word, and then led the topic to the other side.
"How about the western line of Liangzhou?"
With the opening of the bamboo slip in the hands of the middle-aged man, the situation on the Western Front seemed to be presented in front of everyone.
"The remnants of Luantang Mountain swore to recapture Jincheng, killed and wounded 7,000 soldiers, spent a lot of siege equipment, and finally broke through the city gate yesterday. There are only more than 3,000 subordinates left, and they are defending Jincheng. ”
"The imperial court ordered that Jincheng is not the last line of defense, and it can be retreated or not defended, and Luantangshan has issued a death order, fight to the death, and not retreat."
If you don't retreat to the death, you won't retreat if you fight to the death.
Cheng Liu took a deep breath and asked softly, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo fought unfavorably at the beginning, lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, defeated Meiyang County, and regrouped in the ridge fifty miles away."
Everything was expected, and Cheng Liu was not surprised.
After a while, the middle-aged man stopped reporting, and the news stopped there, and if he wanted to know more, he had to wait for the spies to report back.
At this time, it was just nightfall, and Chen Shi had to wait until tomorrow morning, Cheng Liu was hungry, so he asked softly, "Is the meal ready?" ”
"The dinner is set in the middle hall, please come with the villain."
Cheng Liu drank all the tea in the teacup in one go, and swaggered into the middle hall.
To be honest, the dinner was rich, with meat and vegetarian dishes, but although Cheng Liu was hungry, he had no appetite at all.
After just moving his chopsticks slightly, he ordered those people to go down first, leaving only Yu Jukui and Gu Guan in the house.
"The situation in Yuzhou looks quite complicated at the moment, do you go back to Yingchuan first, or go directly to Runan?"
"Yingchuan."
Yu Youkui lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.
Cheng Liu picked a piece of meat and continued: "Are there any people you know from all over Yuzhou?" ”
Yu Youkui raised his head with some confusion and asked puzzledly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"The simplest and rude way is to stop the war with war, and now that Yuzhou is full of power, land annexation will naturally cause territorial disputes, and the court can't control it, so let's take care of it."
I had heard him say this before, and Yu Youkui was not surprised, but he still looked puzzled.
"Yuzhou's meat is extremely hot, located in the middle of the forces on both sides, if the situation is not stabilized, we will fall into an embattled situation, have you ever thought about it?"
Cheng Liu nodded: "Not only have I thought about it, but I have also thought twice, Mr. Xu opened his mouth, we are starting from Yangzhou, and there is no threat to Xuzhou in the north, and the biggest threat should be Jingzhou and Yizhou, but now they can't move, and the most dangerous one is Yuzhou." ”
"No matter who rushes out first, Yuzhou Haoqiang will take the opportunity to go south, either to Xuzhou, or to our Yangzhou, so that they can stay in their own territory, which is almost impossible."
It was only then that Yu Yukui came to his senses.
"So, you plan to go directly to Yuzhou first?"
Cheng Liu did not hide his ambition at all, and said in a deep voice: "More than that, we must treat Yuzhou as a nail and face the northern forces." And with the natural geographical location bordering Xuzhou, Tao Qian's hand can also reach so far, which is especially important for us. ”
Yu Youkui put down the dishes and chopsticks, and replied lightly: "I know the soldiers and horses of the two roads, adding up to more than 7,000 people, counting our own people, there should be more than 20,000." ”
"That's enough, let's take Yingchuan and Runan first."
Gu Guan sat on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, as if he was an outsider, although his heart was shocked, his mind was not here at all.
He just wants to go back early, see the sweet potatoes, or guard the state pastor's mansion, as long as he can stay with the sweet potatoes.
Thinking of this, the flush on his face quietly spread.
Cheng Liu was about to ask Gu Guan if he wanted to change the carriage tomorrow morning, but he saw that the latter's face was slightly red, as if he had drunk fake wine.
"Do you drink tea or wine? What's going on? ”
The smile on Gu Guan's face froze, and his face turned even redder.
After eating and drinking, Cheng Liu sat in front of the desk and picked up the file, and carefully read the information of Liu Qingshan and the assassin who only enjoyed three days.
They are not unjustly killed, the biggest piece of cheese moved, there will always be someone who takes the lead, as for which way the soldiers and horses, Yu Youkui can't guess, but after arriving in Yingchuan, everything will have a result.
