Chapter 385: Success or Failure

Qishi Mansion, just these three words Liu Yuan sounds a little familiar.

I vaguely remembered the little master of the Zhou family, the three sects and nine streams, all kinds of people recruited by Zhou Xiangwen back then, gathered a group of rabble, which is very in line with what the current shopkeeper said.

Immediately, he directly asked, "What's going on with that Qishi Mansion, and where did it come from?"

Because he remembered the gang of people he met in Young Master Zhou's mansion back then, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he could make a contribution, and the words of the rabble in the mouths of the common people were not just for fun.

"You don't know about Qishi Mansion yet, it seems that you have been away from our realm for long enough. ”

The shopkeeper's neck shrank, his eyes looked at Liu Yuan and he blinked, a little surprised, pinched a few peanuts in his hand and said: "You know Lord Zhou of Dade County, just that Zhou Xiangwen, the youngest son of Lord Zhou, didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, and he made a trick." ”

"Who would have thought that it would really make a little famous, and there are really some people in his house who have come in handy, so one of them is called Jiao Zong, who first made Ji burn one of the northern granaries in Ercheng, and then led the army to successfully take another granary while drawing the attention of the other party. ”

The shopkeeper was very able to chat, and he talked about the scene at that time, and between three words, Liu Yuan understood the specific situation at that time.

Later, one or two things happened, all of them were in the Qishi Mansion, and the rabble, who were not favored before, came out to make a contribution, which also made the people's opinion of Young Master Zhou completely change.

and directly improved the status of his gang in the city, and some of them were directly reused by Xia Lingling.

"By the way, including the title of Qishifu, it was determined at that time, and over time, everyone also called it the same. The shopkeeper finally said that from the beginning of the conversation to the present, the two have also talked for half an hour.

During this time, Liu Guanzhang and the others went upstairs, and after nothing happened, Sun Yi seemed relatively silent, maybe he was also a man of few words.

On the contrary, since Pei Jiao went on the road, he has become more and more quiet, and he has lost the feeling of jumping out on weekdays, most of which he deliberately put it away.

Listening to the shopkeeper talk about this, Liu Yuan probably had a picture in his mind, and he also knew what happened in those days.

But there are still some doubts, that is, since this is the case, coupled with the strength of Dade County itself, how can most of the city land now fall into the hands of Chai Tingshan.

"Then what about later, Chai Tingshan was not attacked by the Dade County army after the rest?" Liu Yuan asked suspiciously.

"It's not what's wrong, how can you not be beaten, beaten, and then take the initiative to attack again, the two sides have gone back and forth with each other, and there are a lot of casualties. ”

"Then a major event completely changed the situation of King's Landing. ”

"Oh, what is it?" Hearing this, Liu Yuan subconsciously stopped chewing peanuts.

"That's news from the north, the imperial court's campaign in the eastern grasslands is over, and Ye Qingyu, the secretary of the military department, is still leading his troops back!"

"Ah, it turns out that the fighting in that area has stopped. At this moment, Liu Yuan was able to guess what would happen next.

In fact, if Liu Yuan paid a little attention when he was in a hurry, he would have been able to learn about the news from other people's mouths, but then his mind would be on his father, and he didn't have time to inquire about these at all.

Even if you know a few words from hearsay, it is not as detailed as what you know from the shopkeeper now.

"That's right, and I heard the news that I still won, but I won it, and the price paid was not small, the commander of the forbidden army died directly, and at the same time, the imperial court also lost 30,000 elite men......"

After that, the shopkeeper chatted a few words about the war in the grassland, and the court sent troops to relieve the siege for the prince of the grassland, which was considered to have completely quelled the war.

The rebellious forces of the steppe were directly suppressed, and they were directly beaten into pieces, and soon fell silent.

I believe that as long as the prince of the grassland is not a straw bag, he will definitely make achievements and will not be 'thrown off the horse' again.

The only regret is that the commander of the forbidden army died, but what is good is that Ye Qingyu withstood the pressure after all, and did not die on all fronts, in the end, he is a generation of battle-hardened generals.

However, the commander of the forbidden army was dead, and he was still ordered by the angry Son of Heaven to exile his family to the frontier.

During this period, there was no way to talk about the prevarication and the exchange of interests, and the shopkeeper was not clear, after all, the height of the temple was not something that a commoner who was far away from the rivers and lakes could speculate at will.

Even if you guess, you can't guess the point.

"And then?" Liu Yuan was listening to it, but the shopkeeper picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and smashed it when it was over, making Liu Yuan anxious.

After that, the emperor naturally focused on dealing with the rebellion, and directly waved his army south, making Ye Qingyu the generalissimo to suppress the rebellion and rebellion against the king in the world. ”

"Among them, there is such a branch, which is led by the vanguard general Wei Ying, who came directly to kill Dade County, and did not choose to cross the river but made a detour to attack Dade County from the front......"

At that time, the battle could be said to be extremely tragic, and it had never been easy to attack the city, plus Xia Lingling organized a strong resistance and defense.

And they learned the news in advance, but they made some mistakes to focus on the river, and because of the natural danger of the Renhe River, many generals didn't pay enough attention to it, who knew that the other party didn't choose to cross the river.

That battle lasted for a month, during which Chai Tingshan seemed to have disappeared.

Finally, on the forty-fourth day, the army broke through Dade County from the south city gate and drove straight in, while Xia Lingling and other living forces fled from the north city gate.

Due to the hard fighting for several days, the imperial army did not have enough strength to strangle the traitor and let him escape.

How could have you have thought that at the moment when the city was broken, just a stick of incense, a large number of people and horses suddenly rushed out of the four wild places behind him.

Carrying a machete in his hand, wearing a simple leather cloth armor, he rushed into the city with a shout of murder.

Directly fought with the imperial army in the city, produced one street battle after another, raided and counter-encircled, and played the role of a yellow bird.

The vanguard will not die, leading the remnants to flee from the West City Gate, leaving corpses all the way, and the street battle is a narrow road encounter, whoever has a higher spirit, who wins, the outcome is obvious.

On the blood-drenched and slightly pale wall not far away, a large banner with the word 'firewood' on a black background hunted in the wind.

At this point, the tug-of-war of offensive and defensive warfare about Dade County has finally come to an end, and the name of the anti-Wang Chai Tingshan is completely loud and reaches the sky.

Bang –

The shopkeeper knocked the red porcelain bowl on the table, and Liu Yuan, who heard the sound, came back to his senses, only to find that the other party was still sighing in his mouth, which made him wonder if the shopkeeper had been a storyteller before.

"If you want to say that the vanguard general Wei Ying is not a straw bag, how can he not understand the truth of the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the rear is not a stable situation, how can he do his best to attack the city with confidence. The shopkeeper whispered, shaking his head.

"You must know that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, this is not directly for General Chai to make a wedding dress. ”

In fact, the specific details have become obscure here.

At the beginning, Wei Ying didn't think about this, and he had always sent spies to investigate, planning to fight back after taking Dade County, and then exterminate the rebel forces of Chai Tingshan.

At first, he boasted in his tent that he would go down to Dade County within ten days, but twenty days passed.

At this time, if you want to retreat, it is already like a deep quagmire, and you can't retreat, you have to retreat, all the previous investment is in vain, how can you pay back.

Think about that Chai Tingshan is just from a wild road, how many soldiers and horses can be under his hands, and the weapons and armor are not as good as theirs.

In addition, for several days in a row, the spies did not find any suspicious traces within a radius of ten miles, so they were no longer at ease.

Thinking about it, Chai Tingshan was also frightened by such a tragic and fierce battle, where did he dare to take his head.

And he firmly believed that he would definitely win it in another ten days, but the result was that Xia Lingling, a woman, guarded it for more than 20 days and personally climbed the wall to fight.

It is worth mentioning that Ming Xiao and his wife, who are on the list of the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, also made a move, otherwise they might not have been able to hold on for so long, which can be regarded as a change of affection owed at the beginning.

The ruthless Wei Ying's teeth hurt, and there is nothing he can do.

In the end, under the fatigue, after repeated battles, finally broke through this hard bone, the army was overjoyed, rushed into the city, where can I still take care of the things behind me, and was defeated by Chai Tingshan in one fell swoop.

As Xia Lingling's old opponent, Chai Tingshan had already calculated that this must be a protracted battle, and he spent more than ten days recuperating his strength, and all the soldiers of the army did not go out of the city, which gave Wei Ying the illusion that he was timid and afraid.

even acted in a play, and there was some news that there was no news, and several soldiers talked to him that he was afraid of death and was listened to by those spies, which did not make Wei Ying scoff, and he was even more determined to attack the city.

Chai Tingshan secretly continued to send spies who were familiar with the terrain and kept a close eye on this battle.

Wei won and lost when he returned with a great victory in the grassland, and he didn't put a few monkeys in his eyes as the king's thieves, thinking that Dade County was ruled by a weak woman, and that's it.

Who knows that the other party is a ruthless wolf, the kind of ruthlessness that will bite you two mouthfuls of raw meat even if you have a broken hand.

I thought that the side of the couch was a long worm at best, and it could be crushed to death with a kick when I turned around, but who knew that this long worm was a giant snake, and it was more treacherous and cunning poisonous.

All these things added together, which laid the foundation for Wei Ying's final defeat, and also made Chai Tingshan a great success.

"Yes, you and I know it, but how can he not know it. Liu Yuan shook his head and said, without saying anything else.

Everyone knows the simple truth, but it is only hindsight, and only the authorities have the most say in the specific situation.

"After that, there are not so many twists and turns, General Chai Da took Dade County as the rear and began to expand outward, with a clear purpose, to make it a monolith. ”

"According to other sources, he plans to wave his army to the north......" Later, the shopkeeper's voice was subconsciously lowered, and he even stretched out a finger and pointed to the ceiling, which was self-evident.

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's explanation. Liu Yuan clenched his fists and said, and after speaking, he also threw a piece of broken silver on the table, which was regarded as money for staying in his inn.

"Eh, you have too much, guest officer, wait for me to find you. The shopkeeper held the silver in his hand and shouted at Liu Yuan's back as he went upstairs.

"It's a little more, don't worry, even if you say that it's half a day's worth of tea. Liu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, he was rare to be generous this time.

It's also that the shopkeeper is really detailed, as if he doesn't give a few copper plates, as if he is embarrassed.

Since the guests said so, the shopkeeper accepted it with a smile, happily put it into his arms, and did not forget to add at the end: "Next time you come back to the guest officer, I will talk to you again if you want to hear anything." ”

Liu Yuan, who was provoked, laughed and stepped onto the second floor.

Lying on the bed at night, Liu Yuan closed his eyes, thinking about Chai Tingshan in his mind, after all, Qingchuan County, or the first inn in the world, are inextricably linked to it.

The first inn in his own house was opened in Qingchuan County, and Chai Tingshan couldn't get around it.

But I didn't think about it for a while, thinking about the relationship between the two, coupled with my idle nature, and in order to treat my father's illness, I had to leave to go to the Holy Hand Sect again, so it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

Soon put this matter behind him, and once again pondered the 'Mountain Wilderness' knife technique in his heart.

Now he can use a mountain knife or a barren knife, but some of his moves are still in the realm of tasting and stopping.

But with a limited number of tricks such as getting straight to the point, Liu Yuan faintly felt that he had touched the artistic conception, and he was still a little bit close, and he was about to be perfect.

But it's just that it's been a few days, and there's never been a start.

If you think about it, the day will be bright.

In the early morning, under the watchful eye of the shopkeeper, several people left the inn and embarked on the road back to Qingchuan.

Three days later, outside the gate of Qingchuan County, Liu Yuan and his party stood in front of the city gate on horseback.

Looking at the majestic guards in front of the city gate, and the armor, I knew that Chai Tingshan was rich during this time.

Speaking of these equipment, it was left behind by Xia Lingling and the imperial army when they attacked Dade County, and they all let Chai Tingshan pick it up, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

The people guarding the city, I don't know how many batches they have changed, where did they recognize Liu Yuan, and after collecting money and checking and interrogating them according to the rules, they let Liu Yuan and a few people enter the city.

After Liu Yuan and the others walked away, they could hear it from a distance, and the guard on the left asked his companion in surprise: "Who did the younger man say just now, I heard him right?"

"That's right, it's our Qingchuan people, and it's no problem to check it. ”

"Which is this, later, in the latter sentence, he said that he opened an inn in Qingchuan. ”

"Yes, the innkeeper. ”

"Fool, let's have an inn in Qingchuan!"

"Ah......h
