Chapter 567

Don’t look at Mr. Sun’s aggressive and very independent appearance, but if he makes such a big deal, he really can’t make the decision.

Mr. Sun was born in a scholarly family and he passed the imperial examination, but he failed the imperial examination many times. However, his son passed the imperial examination at a young age. In this regard, he was far inferior to his son. Scholars always judge heroes by fame.

Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, but he still said, "What do you think?"

Sun Chuanting said, "The child is unfilial! He has caused the family to be sore, and the Sun family has lost fame and fortune, and he is bullied by others. Wen thief wants to kill me again, and the Sun family is destroyed."

Mr. Sun said loudly: "The Sun family cannot perish."

This era emphasizes three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. If they do not pass on their way, they are afraid that they will not be able to see their ancestors after death. They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of these things.

Sun Chuanting said, "The child defected to the Liu family not because he wanted wealth, but because the court regarded me as abandoning his shoes and putting it to death. This was a forced one."

In their past, they were like thieves who defected to the Liu family.

Mr. Sun said, "You have more opinions than me, so you will decide this matter, right? I hope the Sun family can have a foothold in Shandong and pass on it."

With his father's words, Sun Chuanting showed a relaxed expression. You must know that without his father's support, he would not dare to do such things wholeheartedly. After all, such things are not very glorious.

Wu Xiuwen was very happy to see that the father and son reached an agreement. He was thinking, if you, Sun Boya, have no official status, you will be nothing. If you don’t have the status of an official, you will be nothing. If you don’t want to kill you in the court, you will also kill you.

After they joined forces, they immediately continued to move south. This area was already a war zone. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of five provinces appointed by the court, led tens of thousands of troops from Tianjin to the south, stationed in Cangzhou. His goal was to directly attack Dezhou.

The Liu family army has not shown any weakness in the information they have received now. They sent their No. 1 general Liu Zhongyong to lead tens of thousands of troops to Dezhou to confront Lu Xiangsheng's army.

Liu Zhongyong was not a brave and unscrupulous person. He knew that the current situation was beneficial to them. They stayed in the city, ate well and dressed warmly. Lu Xiangsheng's army braved the wind and snow, and was hungry and non-combat reductions were very powerful. To put it bluntly, if a heavy snow fell, it would probably kill many of his soldiers, so Liu Zhongyong ordered all the troops under the city of Dezhou to stand firm.

Although the war between the two sides has not begun, it has become very tense here. Both sides still sent Ye Busuo, the most elite subordinates, to strangle the other side's spies and collect the latest information.

Sun Chuanting and his group dared to rush out publicly because they were escorted by hundreds of knights and also had the status of an official army. However, after leaving Cangzhou and entering Nanpi, they began to change to the banner of the Liu family army, because Nanpi was guarded by Liu Feiyun, a general under Liu Zhongyong.

Liu Feiyun is Liu Zhongyong's son. He followed his father in the army for many years and has been in the army. He has been through life and death. He is also one of the elders of the Liu family army. However, his father was too outstanding and too loud, which completely drowned his light.

But Liu Feiyun was a smart man. The lord asked them to defend Dezhou. He would take the initiative to attack Nanpi of Hebei, guard this strategic location, and resist Lu Xiangsheng's army's southward advance. Once his actions succeeded, he could block the war outside Shandong.

Nanpi County is located in the southeast of Hebei, southern Cangzhou, south to the canal, and adjacent to Shandong in the southeast. Nanpi is 250 miles away from the capital, 160 miles to Tianjin, 200 miles to Baoding, and forty miles to Cangzhou. At that time, Nanpi belongs to Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture, the capital, with nine miles below, and ten miles each under the jurisdiction of ten miles.

When the cavalry of the Liu family army attacked Nanpi, the county magistrate knew that it was not an opponent, so he committed suicide in the city. When the officials saw that the county magistrate had committed suicide, they also knew that it was not an opponent of the Liu family army. They opened the city gate and welcomed the Liu family army in. Liu Feiyun successfully controlled Nanpi and immediately strengthened the defense of Nanpi.

Of course, he also knew that such a small county town was difficult to resist the siege of Lu Xiangsheng's army. Moreover, because the road was blocked with heavy snow, they could not transport the red-clothed cannons and the Folang cannons. His troops only had light weapons such as muskets. They did not have much advantage against Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, but his military strength was quite strong. He was the commander's two regiments. The forces of the two regiments of the Liu family army would not be inferior even if they faced tens of thousands of people in the Tianxiong Army, so the two sides were currently confronting this line.

The Liu family army occupied this place to stop the war outside Shandong, and they had no clear plan to expand their control scope, so they stopped here.

The reason why Lu Xiangsheng's troops arrived in Cangzhou and then failed to advance was mainly because the weather was cold, the road was blocked with heavy snow, and the problem of food and cotton coats in his army was very serious.

It solved the problem of his lack of food and cotton coats, but the cold weather still plagued their soldiers. You should know that sending troops in the cold weather is very unfavorable. The soldiers' resistance is very poor. Once they are ordinary injuries, they can easily lose their lives. In such a cold day, who would not want to stay in a warm house and burn the fire and go outside to fight desperately?

Therefore, the morale of his troops was not high. This was the first time that Lu Xiangsheng had experienced such a situation since he led his troops. He knew how to fight this battle, so he gathered his main force in Cangzhou and waited for an opportunity to act. Although the court repeatedly urged him to send troops, he still refused on the grounds of waiting for the weather to improve.

They all knew that the weather would only get colder and it would be difficult to improve until the flowers bloom next spring. What he said about the weather would be better, which means at least not snowing and then sending troops.

Lu Xiangsheng is a military expert. Any military expert understands one thing, that is, it is best not to send troops in winter. Since the troops have been sent, you must take complete measures, such as keeping cold and warm.

They did a pretty good job in keeping cold and warm, because the court forced to tear down the east and west walls and brought them a large amount of food and grass and cotton coats, so that at least his soldiers could be filled.

However, in this kind of weather, the food consumption is very large, because only when the soldiers eat enough can they have enough calories. This situation also made the court even more worried. Seeing that the food and grass were consumed so much, they could only constantly urge him to attack Nanpi and take down Dezhou.

However, Lu Xiangsheng did not understand the background of the Liu family army, so he did not dare to push forward with all his might. Sun Chuanting arrived in Nanpi under this situation.

After entering Nanpi County, they entered the area they controlled and finally arrived at a safe place.

Sun Chuanting is a man who knows about military affairs. The Liu family army is brave and good at fighting. When I see you today, this is certain that the Liu family army is really brave and good at fighting. Not to mention whether they can fight, just their equipment makes them very envious.

Even ordinary soldiers of the Liu family army were equipped with iron armor and were equipped with a variety of weapons. In this cold weather, each of the soldiers on their mission brought a thermos with wine in the pot. They could drink some wine to warm up at any time. This configuration is something that the official army could not compare to.

And they all wore thick cotton coats, and even officers would wear thick leather coats, which were quite majestic and quite grand.

Moreover, the morale of the Liu family army was very high. Among their soldiers, all of them were strong young men, most of whom were tall and rosy.

Nowadays, when observing whether an army can fight, the first thing is to see whether its soldiers are full of food, and the second is to see his equipment. Seeing the Liu family's army's luxurious equipment, Sun Chuanting felt envious. In comparison, his famous Qin army is equivalent to a beggar's army.

The Liu family in Linqing was rich in the world and was indeed well-known.

Until now, many people still blame the Liu family's army for being so well-equipped, as the Liu family in Linqing, who was rich in the world.

Liu Feiyun knew about Sun Chuanting and Wu Xiuwen and his group's arrival, and expressed great welcome. He immediately sent an elite cavalry team to escort them to Texas.

Sun Chuanting was willing to stay here. After all, he was a newcomer and was willing to serve the Liu family army. Only after showing his skills could he prove his value. However, Liu Feiyun said: "My lord wants to see Mr. Sun."

The lord he mentioned refers to their leader Liu Yuanqiao. Since Liu Yuanqiao designated to meet Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting must go to Jinan to meet him.

After a brief rest in Nanpi, they immediately replaced the new war horse and went to Texas with all their might.

Of course, after arriving in Nanpi, they all started to change their means of transportation. For example, Mr. Sun, young and old women, they did not have to ride in simple carts. They were seated in very beautiful and warm carts, and were escorted by military knights to quickly move south along the official road.

After entering Texas, it was a different scene. In Hebei, the area was listed as a war zone, and there were chaos everywhere. The people fled one after another, fled to other places or into the mountains, and the wilderness was extremely desolate. However, after entering Texas, there was no such nervousness that was suffocating, but instead it seemed very calm.

Although it was snowing and the weather was cold, the people did not go out, wherever they passed, they could often see smoke everywhere. Sun Chuanting was a knowledgeable person. As long as he saw the people cooking on time, he knew that these people were enjoying peace and were not as chaotic as the north.

Moreover, the Liu family army would not levy taxes like the imperial army, and they would collect taxes randomly. The cavalry and guards of the Liu family army defended the place, and the public security was very good. The comparison between the two sides made Sun Chuanting feel that the court was still the rebel side.

When they entered Texas in large quantities, Liu Zhongyong, the general in charge of guarding Texas, was waiting at the city gate.

Liu Zhongyong is an elder of the Liu family army and is also the core figure. Seeing him here, Wu Xiuwen hurriedly met him and said, "How dare you bother General Liu to wait here."
