Chapter 107: Liu Bei's Worries (Free 2)
The reason why they are so cautious is that there are too many people who have come to assassinate Zhang Shuo recently. For example, yesterday, when Zhang Shuo was visiting the vegetable market, he saw a middle-aged aunt selling vegetables, and when he wanted to ask, he thought about asking the other party how he felt about the current policy of Qianguo and whether there were any problems that could not be solved.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Shuo leaned over, the aunt suddenly burst out, and slashed at Zhang Shuo's face with a kitchen knife. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhou Cang didn't have time to step forward to stop it, if it weren't for Gao Lishi, who was standing next to Zhang Shuo, who pushed Zhang Shuo in time, I am afraid that Zhang Shuo would have to break his appearance if he didn't die.
Zhang Shuo had long expected that he would be assassinated, so no matter the reason why a large number of player groups looted the capital of Qianguo through Qin Wen's sneak attack last time, all players who did not serve in Qianguo were expelled from the national capital. Or now control the player to carry weapons into the city. It's all about reducing these unnecessary hassles.
I didn't think about it, but I almost folded it in the hands of an inconspicuous middle-aged woman. This made all the guards, including Zhou Cang, sincerely afraid, afraid that Zhang Shuo would blame him.
Zhang Shuo could naturally guess some of the guards' thoughts, but he had no intention of punishing them from beginning to end.
It's not that Zhang Shuo is benevolent, but that the population of Qianguo is too small at this time. What's more, the guards around Zhang Shuo are all carefully selected from the army, and the lowest level is 4th level, and their loyalty is 90+.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo only symbolically deducted their military salary for one month. But they were afraid that they would starve their families if they had no food this month, so they also aptly said that this month's military salary could be slowly deducted in 12 months.
As for the reason for the aunt's assassination, it is also very simple, her son was in the army in the Western Liang Kingdom, and a major war broke out between the two countries and unfortunately died in battle. So he counted the revenge of killing his son on Zhang Shuo's head.
In this regard, Zhang Shuo felt extremely helpless, but he couldn't change this kind of thing. For the loyal guards around him, Zhang Shuo reciprocated kindness. But for someone like Auntie who openly stabs himself, Zhang Shuo needs to make an example of him.
At that time, he ordered Zhou Cang to hang the middle-aged aunt who had just been killed by him on the beam of the west gate of Tiangan City. To warn the world and deter the young. Presumably there is no order from Zhang Shuo, and it is still hanging there!
In front of everyone, Zhou Cang and Mu Chun had a fight. Because of Mu Chun's arrogance and unruliness before, Zhou Cang also had a little anger in his heart, and as soon as he fought with him, he was ten percent of his strength.
Mu Chun originally wanted to test Zhou Cang's emptiness, but without knowing that Zhou Cang had divine power, the moment the silver-level Pu knife in his hand touched the two-edged axe of Aotou, he felt that his arm was numb, and he lost consciousness for a short time.
Looking at the Pu Dao that fell into the field, Mu Chun was horrified in his heart, and was about to withdraw and retreat, when Zhou Cang's two-edged axe was already against Mu Chun's neck.
"General Mu, I conced!"
Zhou Cang smiled contemptuously and mocked Mu Chun. So much so that Mu Chun's two colors changed several times, and finally he hugged Zhou Cang with a fist and said: "General Zhou is brave, the villain admires!" ”
"It's over. A certain family is born with great strength, and it is normal for you to suffer a secret loss under the unknown. Seeing Mu Chun's appearance, Zhou Cang's mood also eased.
"General Zhou is extraordinary, powerful." Mu Hong also smiled on the side and said, although his younger brother still failed miserably after all, it was nothing if he didn't fight each other.
"Yuanfu is born with divine power, Mu Chun, it is normal for you to lose without knowing it."
Zhang Shuo said with relief, and then led everyone into the Wuying Hall again.
After some careful consideration, Zhang Shuo only granted Mu Hong the position of brigade marshal, and Mu Chun was demoted to the rank of commander. In terms of ability, Zhang Shuo gave them a position that was still a little lower.
But judging from Zhou Cang's situation, if he really gave the two brothers a big official, I am afraid that most of the generals and even the soldiers in the army will have some opinions. After all, the two of them are in Qianguo, and they are still newcomers who have not made an inch.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, right now, Zhou Guojian is clear of the wilderness, and he will not come out of the city. As a result, our army has been storming Gaoyou for half a month, but it has not been able to advance an inch. I don't know if everyone has a good plan? It must be known that if this stalemate continues, I am afraid that our army's food and grass will be exhausted. ”
Just when Zhang Shuo was here to meet the Mu brothers. In a large tent in Ping'an County, Guangling County. Liu Bei, the monarch of Shu State, looked at the generals and ministers who accompanied the army in the tent, and said with a worried face.
At this time, Guan Yu, who was the head of the military generals of Shu State, stroked his long hair and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, big brother, the elite of the 94 Department has been broken by us the day before yesterday." Zhou General Lu Gu was also defeated by the third brother and Xiao Yuanyin, and it only took a few more days. We will break the high post! ”
"The second brother is right, they are all a bunch of turtles with shrunken heads, and none of them dare to fight!"
Zhang Fei, who was under Guan Yu, also said indignantly. Earlier, Shu swept away the six countries of Guangling, and Zhang Fei galloped on the battlefield, how hearty it was. Even Zhu Jin, who was the champion of the three armies, was captured in a battle under the offensive of the Shu army. But now in Zhang Shicheng's place, the people of Shu Han have hit a bloody head.
I have to say that although in the original history, Zhang Shicheng's positioning was just a stepping stone for Zhu Yuanzhang. But as one of the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng still has a few brushes. Not to mention anything else, just in defending the city, this person is definitely a first-class expert.
Historically, Zhang Shicheng faced the encirclement and suppression army of Meng Yuan, although he lost many victories, and even surrendered to the Yuan court many times. But he was later refused to accept the surrender by Prime Minister Meng Yuan, and in a desperate situation, he managed to carry a million troops for three months with a Gaoyou city. In the end, the Yuan court dismissed Totoku in the name of leaving the army for three months, having no merit, pouring the country's wealth for his own use, and half of the officials of the imperial court thought that he was self-serving.
Then in the face of the 200,000 army led by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, Zhang Shicheng held out for more than a year before he was defeated and died. It can be seen that this person can defend the city.
Therefore, even if he is currently sitting on the five fierce generals of Guan Zhang, Huang Xiao and Zhu, and Liu Bei, who is assisted by Zhuge Liang of Wolong. In the face of the ironclad defense of Gaoyou City, it also began to be at a loss.
What made Liu Bei most upset was that he fought fiercely for days. The Shu army had serious consumption of grain and grass. Although the current Guangling County is not as miserable as Donghai County under the chaos of the heroes, the loss of grain and grass materials caused by the war is not a small amount.
And the spring plowing season has arrived, if it is delayed any longer. This year's spring plowing has been delayed. Then in the autumn harvest season of this year, if the autumn grain of the year cannot be harvested, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale riot and famine in the entire Guangling!
