Chapter two hundred and eighty fearless
Lutou City is a very large military town and the only big city west of Ninghe, Anling.
There is a Longji Mountain Range between the west of Ninghe and the Western Yi. The mountains reach the Han River in the north and Cangyan in the south. It is a dangerous area where the Western Yi monsters often go to the mountains to hunt. The monsters and beasts in the mountains are always driven out of the mountains to harm the people. Over time, compared to the safe and rich Ninghe east, the number of people west of Ninghe is much smaller.
There are few people and the environment is harsh, so the customs of the people will naturally be tough.
To the west of Ninghe, except for the two hundred miles close to Roucheng, other places can almost be said to be out of law. Especially after the decline of Anling Yan family, Anling's law was convenient for these places. No one cared about it unless it was a general's order posted by Lutou City.
Here, the biggest truth is who has the biggest fist.
Lutou City is said to be a city, but it is actually composed of two separate cities, east and west.
Xicheng is an old city, a pure military fortress with towering walls and complete defensive facilities. It is now the largest garrison in the mountains in the western part of Anling. Xicheng has only one city gate. The city gate faces east, and the gate is less than a hundred feet away from the city is the gate of the East City.
Dongcheng is much larger than Xicheng, and it is more like a city in the traditional sense. The city is open and the roads are crisscrossed, and the people and merchants gather in it and come and go. However, this Dongcheng has only one city gate, which also faces east.
The two gates of the two cities are connected in a straight line, and there is a wide main road that connects directly. Therefore, every time you go on a triumphant battle, the soldiers of Lutou City have to walk through the streets of Dongcheng, bringing an endless depressing atmosphere, or the city is jubilant in such a moment.
Lutou City won the battle.
This is the first counterattack victory achieved by Lutou City since the Western Yi was invading from March. Therefore, General Liu Feixu specially summoned the meritorious soldiers in this battle to return to Lutou City and be granted the title to show his merits.
But unlike the lively atmosphere in Dongcheng, Liu Feixu, who is currently in an independent high-walled courtyard in Xicheng, could not see any joy on his face.
Liu Feixu looks quite old, with her hair and beard mostly white, her appearance is quite rough, her eyes are round and her lips are wide, her nose is like an eagle hook, her ears are very attractive, and her expression is always like anger but not angry.
At this moment, he was sitting in the hall, staring coldly at a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes on the guest seat, and said, "Brother Yiming, you have known me for many years. Now that you are a guest in Lutou City, why are you not here for three visits? But I blame me for not treating guests well?!"
The words are as cold as iron, and every word is sonorous, without any room for turning around.
The middle-aged man in Jinyi, called Yiming, was naturally Su Yiming, who was named a guest minister from the county by Luochuan. He was not panicked when he heard Liu Feixu's words, but he took out a yellow stone and rubbed it in his hand. "It has been nearly two months since Su was a visit to Lutou City. General Liu ordered people to have a good meal and drink all day long, and he could be called a poor hospitality? But Su was not a solution to eat and drink for free. He thought of packing his luggage and going to see General Liu before leaving, and he didn't have to leave for another delay in General Liu's handling of official duties."
"Brother Yiming is leaving?" Liu Feixu jumped his left eyebrows and slowly leaned forward. "I am used to being straightforward from the army. I don't like to play dumb riddles and turn around. Anything we can say on the surface, why should Brother Yiming leave?"
Su Yiming thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "That's good, it's because of this that he got to know General Liu," he put the yellow stone on the desk beside him and said seriously, "General Liu, when Su came to Lutou City, he had already explained his purpose to General Liu. As a guest guest of the county, Su came with the great kindness of the prefect of Lijun. At that time, the land west of Lutou City and Ninghe was removed.
In addition, most of Anling has returned to Li County, including General Liu's former colleague General Han, who was also awarded the title of General Ganyuan, is deeply trusted by the prefect. If General Liu is willing to join Li County, Li County will immediately become the strongest county in the southwest Hanzhou and become a stable overlord in the troubled times. Even Guangjun now has to respect him. General Liu, who made such a great contribution, received only the rewards of General Han, but..."
He sighed and said, "But General Liu insisted on listening to the nonsense of the envoy of Guangjun. Guangjun is now full of food, but what's the use of just having food? It's worth more than 300,000 elite troops in Lijun? I understand this principle. General Liu, who grew up in Lutou City, understands better. In the final analysis, General Liu still wants to see the ownership of the battle of Roucheng before making a decision. But have you ever thought that even if the current Lijun general Roucheng is given to Guangjun, General Liu will successfully join Guangjun, which is considered to be the flesh of Guangjun? Yunbailou of Guangjun is the most capable, and it is probably no problem to take out some money and grain to let you fight against the west and the south of Lijun for him. Once any of the Western Yi or Lijun soldiers are at Lutou City, do you expect Guangjun to send a soldier and a soldier? Moreover, it's not that easy for Guangjun to capture Roucheng!"
Su Yiming held the yellow stone in his hand and rubbed it for a while before putting it back in his arms, "That's the truth, but these truths are useless now. Since General Liu suddenly wanted to see me today, it means that the battle in Rou City should have been settled, and Guangjun probably did not get any benefits. In this way, Su's stay in Lutou City will be meaningless, so he can only resign from General Liu."
Liu Feixu stared at Su Yiming's eyes for a long time before reaching out to pat him. A big and round-waisted soldier who was waiting outside the hall came in with a red paint box and placed the box on the table beside Liu Feixu, revealing a bloody head. It was the envoy of Guangjun that Su Yiming had met!
"Brother Yiming, no one can tell the future so clearly, so as a superior, you must be very cautious in making any decisions." Liu Feixu didn't look at the head beside him, but just stared at Su Yiming and said, "This person in Guangjun lied to me, so I took his life. Brother Yiming didn't lie to me, so it would still be meaningful to stay in Lutou City."
He paused and said, "I heard that the Nanyi now has troops in southern borders, and the pressure from the south of the county is very high. Now there is a great enemy like Guangjun in the north. It is good to be able to help more. Brother, do you see if my sincerity is enough...?"
Su Yiming smiled and shook his head, "General Liu, the rules of Lutou City are very good, but the rules of Lutou City are nothing if they leave Lutou City. Even if you use this bloody head to scare me Su Yiming to death today, the prefect of Lijun who led the Lijun Light Cavalry to fight in the southern border will not frown because of this. Oh, I forgot to tell General Liu. I just learned that the Taiming City was a great victory, and the main force of Nanyi was defeated by my Lijun army... head-on...!"
Liu Feixu's face was extremely hard to see in an instant, and she smiled and said without a smile, "Your brother Yiming is a good method. You can still know about Lijun's southern border when you are in Lutou City. I admire you..." His eyes were filled with gloomy, "But my brother really doesn't want to build this bridge between you and the prefect of Lijun?!"
Su Yiming shook his head and said lightly, "General Liu, don't you understand? After the Battle of Roucheng started, the bridge was gone. The prefect of Lijun was full of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and the strong men under his command were everywhere. He needed to leave the bridge of goodwill for a mere Lutou City until today? What's more, during the Battle of Roucheng, General Liu intentionally or unintentionally sent troops to the Ninghe River," he raised his head and looked at Liu Feixu with a expressionless face. "The reason why Su stayed until today was just to remember General Liu's grace for me that meal was about to wait for General Liu to clarify the situation before saying something more. Although it was probably as useless as those said in the past two months."
Liu Feixu narrowed her eyes, clenched her fists, and said nothing.
Su Yiming had already stood up and bowed, "Brother Liu, there is no place for Liu's family to stand in the southwest Hanzhou. If you still don't give up... go to Wuzhou in the northwest..."
After saying this, he bowed to Liu Feixu and turned his head to walk out of the hall, but was blocked by several vicious personal soldiers at the door, causing a sound of whirling swords in the courtyard. He smiled without looking back, "General Liu, Senior Xianyouzi is waiting for the guest of the county outside the city. If so, you still don't want me to let me invite my master to come and talk to you?"
Liu Feixu was silent for a while, and murderous intent appeared and disappeared in his eyes. After a long time, he raised his hand and waved it.
The war dispersed.
Su Yiming said nothing.
Leaving with big strides.
