Chapter 50: The Devil and the Charm
Meng Wei and Meng Mei did not have sufficient experience in management, but because their father Meng Xiaotian had been a general for nearly fifty years and was very good to the people, the people in the city respected and trusted the two brothers and sisters very much in the face of their father, and everyone maintained a very harmonious state.
In this way, more than four years of peace passed, and not long ago, Ke Liang suddenly sent a messenger to send a letter, which said: From now on, Lejin City should be a vassal to Ke Liang State, and the soldiers and civilians in the city should be slaves of Ke Liang State, and if they dare not listen, then they will kill all the people in the city.
General Meng Wei said to Han Jiangliu and the others: "We are all free people, how can we be slaves of anyone! This Keliang country is a hegemon in the south, and it has done bad things everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, which has already aroused the anger of the heavens and people, but because they are too powerful, no one can do anything about them in the nearby cities. ”
Jing Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "This Keliang country, what kind of powerful method is it?"
General Meng Wei said: "Their king has five generals under him, namely General Qing, General Hong, General Bai, General Huang, and General Hei, and the one who came just now is General Hei. It is said that the five generals have their own tricks and have never lost a battle on the battlefield. And their king himself is also a master outside the world, but no one has ever seen how high his kung fu is, but looking at General Hei's flood skill today, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to deal with. If it weren't for Han Gongzi's intervention, I'm afraid that today, the people of our whole city would have become their slaves. ”
Without waiting for Han Jiangliu to speak, Zhou Kang and Jing Xiaoxian said in unison: "Don't worry, General Meng, we will help you defend the city to the end, and we will definitely not let Keliang Kingdom run rampant." ”
Han Jiangliu and Huaizhong also said: "Yes, we will help everyone defend the city together." ”
Meng Wei looked happy, took his sister Meng Mei's hand and said, "We two brothers and sisters thank you for your help. As he spoke, the brother and sister were about to fall to their knees.
Han Jiangliu and the others hurriedly picked up the two brothers and sisters and said, "You don't have to be so polite. ”
Between the drinks and feasts, several people worked together to plan a strategy on how to deal with Ke Liangguo.
Meng Wei said: "According to the current situation, the black general did not take advantage of this time, then the next step will be to move the rescue troops, what we can do now is to strengthen the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking, in addition, food and grass must also be prepared, if they send a large number of men and horses to surround the whole city, we can't go without food at that time." ”
Han Jiangliu nodded and said, "That's true. ”
"To the north, less than five miles away, there is a field of wheat, which is ripe and has not yet been harvested, and it should be recovered as soon as possible," said Monwy. Who can help with the wheat harvest?"
The work was tiring, but it wasn't necessarily dangerous, so no one answered.
Meng Wei said: "You may think that this job is very comfortable, but in fact, the wheat outside the city of Lejin is very different from the Central Plains, the ears of wheat are full of barbs, and the rhizomes are hard, and it is difficult to harvest, and the difficulty is not as easy as fighting a tough battle." ”
Huaizhong said, "I'll be in charge of harvesting the wheat." ”
Meng Wei said: "Okay, Huai Zhuangshi, you have ordered three thousand people to be responsible for harvesting wheat, and you are in trouble." ”
Huaizhong immediately launched an operation, gathered 3,000 people, brought sickles and vehicles, and went to the north of the city to harvest grain.
Then Meng Wei arranged for Zhou Tong to take people to inspect around the city, found an abnormal situation, and quickly returned to the city to report.
Jing Xiaoxian cooperated with Meng Mei to prepare for the defense of the city, patrol the city, and at the same time pacify the people.
And Han Jiangliu and Meng Wei worked in shifts day and night, giving full command.
During the day, Han Jiangliu went to rest first, and Meng Wei was on duty.
At night, Meng Wei went to rest temporarily, and Han Jiangliu was on duty to direct the work of the whole city.
On the second night, when Han Jiangliu was climbing the city to lookout, the golden scale eagle chirped and flew back from a distance carrying Zhou Kang.
The golden scale carving fell on the city wall, and Zhou Kang said, "Brother Han, the people of Keliang Kingdom are here. ”
"Oh?" Han Jiangliu immediately came to his senses, "How many people are here?"
Zhou Kang said: "There are only two people and two horses, one is the black general last time, and the other is a general in red clothes, two people and two horses, the speed is very fast, I am afraid it will arrive in half an hour." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "You follow me to meet the enemy outside the city." ”
Zhou Kang said, "You don't need to call General Shangmeng. ”
Han Jiangliu said: "No, the two of us go out of the city, two against two, don't be afraid of them." ”
"Yes. ”
At that moment, Han Jiangliu and Zhou Kang did not bring many people, opened the city gate, mounted their mounts, went out of the city, and stood firm a mile away from the city, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Sure enough, not long after, General Black and another general in red came.
Han Jiangliu and Zhou Kang saw this general, wearing a red robe and a red helmet, like a coal, especially the red tassel on the helmet, which was really like a raging flame.
Look at his face again, the red is translucent, the bright is red, as if it is about to burn.
General Hei said: "This time I brought a helper, this is my brother, General Hong, if I don't break through your Lejin City again, I will not be a man!"
Zhou Kang said, "You are a waste, he is also a waste, you two are still waste combined!"
General Hei's face became even darker, and General Hong's face did not change much, he was already extremely red, and he could no longer be red into other colors.
General Hei whispered to General Hong: "Brother, it's that handsome young man, who has the spell to avoid water, and if you burn him with fire for a while, if you are not afraid of water, you must be afraid of fire." ”
General Hong said, "I'll compete with him first!" As he spoke, he used the Heavenly Flame Fork to fight Han Jiangliu.
This kind of weapon is not very common, just because this weapon is too peculiar and not easy to practice, so there are fewer people who use it. But since leaving the capital, Han Jiangliu has seen this kind of weapon for the second time, the first time is in Longhu Mountain, Xinzhou, the snake spirit Jin Zhang Prince has used it, and the level is limited.
Han Jiangliu and General Hong fought, using swords against forks, feeling that this General Hong's kung fu is much higher than that of Prince Jinzhang, and his moves are calm and spicy, which is really difficult to deal with.
Over there, Zhou Kang was fighting with General Hei.
Zhou Kang is known for his light skills, plus he is riding a bird, light and flexible, although the black general's palm is strong, but he can hardly touch Zhou Kang's shadow, so angry that the black general screams and scolds Zhou Kang for being a coward.
Zhou Kang laughed and said: "Heroes don't fight with wits and strength, and those who can only use brute force are fools." ”
Zhou Kang said: "I said you are a fool, do you accept it?"
General Black said, "No!"
Zhou Kang said: "Fool, if I call you, do you dare to agree?"
The black general knew that some people with spells would usually use this method to attract the attention of their opponents, saying: Do you dare to agree if I call you? If the opponent agrees, then he will be hit by the spell, and he will be captured at least or killed.
But General Hei was bold, and he said: "Your black grandfather is here, you can call it, and I promise." ”
While talking, the two of them went back and forth again, fighting for more than a dozen moves.
Seeing that Zhou Kang had stopped talking, General Hei couldn't help asking, "I'm waiting for you, why don't you call, I want to see what means you can use." ”
Zhou Kang laughed and said, "Fool, I've already finished calling, and you have promised to finish, haven't you heard enough, you fool!"
Zhou Kang had nothing to say, in fact, he was extremely anxious, although he relied on light skills, if he dodged the attack of the black general, he would not be defeated for a while, but it was also difficult to win, and the sword in his hand had never once posed a threat to the black general, so he used the method of speaking to divide the black general's heart, hoping to find an opportunity to attack.
But General Hei is single-minded, and his speech may be full of loopholes, but the moves in his hands have no loopholes.
This situation made Zhou Kang very worried, and the two were tied, and in the long run, if General Hei spat out the flood again, he would have to suffer.
Zhou Kang was afraid that General Hei would spit floods, and General Hei had been fighting for so long that he couldn't win, and what he thought in his heart was: It seems that only Flood Gong can win.
At that moment, he chanted a spell in his mouth, and saw that a monstrous flood was about to descend on him.
Zhou Kang turned a thousand thoughts in an instant, and finally only thought of one idea, that is, to escape, the golden scale eagle flew high and far, and he would not be drowned, but in this way, wouldn't Brother Han Jiangliu become a state of one enemy and two enemies, he had to suffer, no, since he was a good brother, how could he run away by himself and let his brother suffer alone!
And Han Jiangliu also saw in a blink of an eye that General Hei was about to spit out water, and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhou Kang, go quickly, don't worry about me, I have a trick to avoid water!"
General Hong raised the Tuotian Flame Fork upwards and laughed: "You have a trick to avoid water, I don't believe you still have a trick to avoid fire!"
If this fire gong is launched, the Tuotian Flame Fork will turn into a fire dragon, lingering around the opponent, never parting, until it burns the target, it is more ferocious than the flood power is here, although the flood power is fierce, but as long as people escape from the attack of the flood, they will be safe, but the fire gong will not stop if it does not burn the target.
Han Jiangliu received the old mother of Lishan, and at the same time mastered the use of the water and fire lotus, which can be said to be a great opportunity, but the defect of the water and fire lotus, the two of them can only be used separately, but they cannot be used at the same time, if the two dangers of water and fire attack at the same time, Han Jiangliu can only use spells to avoid one of them, and there is nothing to do about the other.
General Hei's flood attack occurred first, and Han Jiangliu naturally took up the function of a water-avoiding lotus first, which is not a rational choice, but a natural choice for people to live and die, and there is no time to think carefully about which one to use first and which one not to use.
