Later, he followed his uncle to the north to resell sheep and horses, but unfortunately his uncle died of illness halfway and lost money in business, so he went to Jizhou and made a living by collecting firewood. On the streets of Jizhou, he swore to Yang Xiong as a brother because of injustice. That Yang Xiong is the villain's brother. He was imprisoned in two courts and served as the executioner of Cao Xing in the city. ”

Shi Xiu slowly explained his origin.

And Liu Bei couldn't help but touch his beard when he heard that his sworn brother Yang Xiong also killed his wife in anger because of his wife's fornication.

This man can be regarded as a righteous person. ’

So he ordered it to be loosened. With a little apology on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Brother Shixiu." I didn't know the identity of my brother, so I made this decision! ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiu hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "The junior brother didn't know Xinling's identity at first!" ”

At first, he also thought that Liu Bei and others were the people of Zhujiazhuang. But when he walked along the way, everyone called him 'Xinling', and walked into a military camp.

Shi Xiu instantly reacted to Liu Bei's true identity.

After meeting him at this moment, Shi Xiu was greatly admired. After all, Liu Bei's shot just now proved that the other party's martial arts are really good! He had never seen someone so strong in martial arts!

In addition to the name of Corporal Liu Bei Lixian. Shi Xiu even thought that he had found a confidant.

So he hurriedly met Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that he had been working hard for a few days to save his brother. So he asked Li Ying to arrange a room for him, prepare wine and food, and have a good rest.

And tell each other. In a few days he will attack Zhujiazhuang, if he wants to, he can follow them.

Shi Xiu was even more excited when he heard this, and said, "Brother is interested in how the younger brother doesn't follow!" If you attack Zhujiazhuang in Japan, my brother is willing to be the vanguard of the front! ”

"Good!" Liu Bei laughed.

Li Ying also laughed on the side. But then, as if thinking of something, he reminded: "But Xinling still needs to be careful of the prince and the officials who know Zhujiazhuang." ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this and said, "Mrs. Hu doesn't need to worry. If they dare to come, they will be resisting the heavenly army! Wipe it out together! As for the officials who are good friends with Zhujiazhuang......"

Speaking of which, here. Liu Bei's face showed indifference, "If they have the ability, they will come!" ”

He is currently in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Qingzhou Mansion. As long as you have a piece of paperwork, unless the other party's level is greater than your own. Otherwise, you don't dare to meddle in your business.

After speaking. Li Ying and the others breathed a sigh of relief. And after a busy day and some food and drink, they went to rest in the wing.

However, after Liu Bei entered the room, his head rested on his arm and looked out the window, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

'Siege Equipment, Siege Equipment......'

If you really want to talk about it, Liu Bei really didn't take them seriously. It's a pity that there is still a lack of siege equipment for the attack on the outer city.

However, there is a real lack of wood for molding, and craftsmen who can make heroic equipment. How can I find these things now?

After thinking about it, Liu Bei sat up, lit the candle, and began to sharpen the ink.

Then he wrote some and opened the door.

"Wang Er......"

As Liu Bei's voice fell. Wang Er, who set up a tent in this courtyard to guard Liu Bei, immediately ran out. Said respectfully: "My lord! ”

"You go back to Qingzhou City overnight. Let Jiro quickly gather craftsmen who can build siege equipment and a large number of wooden beams to come to support. ”

Wang Er took the letter. Then he groaned. Then he said, "My lord." Do you mean, we're short of siege engines right now? ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course." As long as the siege equipment is built. Battles can be resolved in one day! ”

This is not that Liu Bei looks down on Zhujiazhuang, but in addition to that trap and the outer city wall. The rest is not worth a damn.

No matter how bad his military ability is, tens of thousands of people can be commanded.

Hit a Zhujiazhuang, as long as they can cross the city wall, all of them will die.

Wang Er heard this. Hurriedly said, "My lord." My subordinates know someone who might be able to help with this! ”

"Oh? Do you know this kind of craftsman? Liu Bei asked curiously.

Wang Er nodded: "When this villain was in the rivers and lakes, he met him a few times. His father was the governor of Yan'an Prefecture, but after his father's death, because of his natural gambler, he lived in the rivers and lakes and worked in Wugang Town. He is good at making guns and sticks, and because he has pockmarks, he is called 'money leopard' by the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

"His ancestors made a living by building weapons. If you have this person to help, you must get twice the result with half the effort! ”

"Okay." Liu Bei nodded and said, "You can invite you with a lot of money." It's just ......"

I thought about it for a moment. Liu Bei couldn't help but ask, "I just don't know if Tang Long's friend is willing to take care of this matter?" ”

"Tang Long's life is not rich. It can only be said that it is barely making ends meet. If it is given by adults with a lot of money. He's going to be back! Wang Er said with a serious expression.

"Uh-huh." Liu Bei nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you!" Good news waiting for you here! ”

"It's my lord!" Wang Er hugged his fists and said, "The villain is going to Wugang Town to invite Tang Long!" ”

After speaking, Wang Er turned around and left.

After Liu Bei sent Wang Er away. Then he turned and went back into the house to rest.

Early the next morning.

Li Ying saw that Wang Er, the guard beside Liu Bei, was not there. I couldn't help but ask, "Xinling." What about the two brothers? ”

His impression of Wang Er is still quite good.

Liu Bei said: "Time is urgent. He was ordered to go out and gather craftsmen and wood to build siege equipment. In the days before the arrival of the craftsman, he and his subordinates will inevitably disturb the owner! ”

Li Ying laughed when he heard this: "What is Xinling? No matter how small the number of people in my Li Jiazhuang is. There are also more than 10,000 households. Yang Xinling and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command are still raised! ”

"Don't say it's some time. It doesn't matter if it's ten or eight years, or even a lifetime! ”

Liu Bei saw that he was arrogant. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Brother Li, a righteous person! ”

So Liu Bei took people to settle down temporarily. Then he began to order people to dig a trench outside the camp and fill it with bamboo sticks.

After all, if it were him, he would definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack.

——

On the other side, the people of Zhujiazhuang received the news.

Zhu Biao and the other three brothers gathered and began to discuss countermeasures.

"The two brothers have heard that they have not. Then the leader of the martial arts army of Qingzhou Mansion is here? ”

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu were quite surprised when they heard this, and said, "This person came so fast!" ”

Then the expressions of the two of them were extremely worried: "Third brother." I didn't expect the generals of Qingzhou Mansion to really come. Otherwise, let's put the men and horses back. ”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but say: "Brother's words are wrong! The three of my brothers killed his corporal and took his horses! I've done it all the time. ”

"This man must have come here for revenge! Rather than surrender and surrender your life to someone else. It's better to try your best to dampen its spirit. Let's talk about peace again! ”
