In Liu Bosheng's memory, the sky in Chongling is always clear, with the blue sky and white water, the cicadas chirping, and the green shade cast by a big banyan tree. This is their youthful life.

In addition to dancing swords and swords, the two brothers of a mother and a compatriot in the Liu family will also play some games that represent the children of the royal family, such as chess.

"Ahhhhhh! I lost again."

Liu Bosheng, who was a little older, was not so naughty that he learned from their ancestor Emperor Jing of Han. He lost even if he lost chess. He directly picked up the chessboard and smashed his brother's head. He just hammered it with hatred, and the black and white chess pieces flew around.

Liu Xiu, who was a few years younger, would always smile with his thick lips, then lower his head to pick up the chess pieces that were rolling around one by one.

Liu Bosheng would look at the honest and self-satisfied brother with both hands, feeling sulky. After a while, he felt sorry for the bet they agreed upon and gave him a newly-received clapping of his hair. He also felt that Liu Xiu could not use it, so he personally guided him step by step.

"A Xiu, remember, you must stab someone like this to be fatal!"

The relationship between brothers is complicated, including the dependence of losing their father early, and the small jealousy arises because the elders in the clan love Liu Xiu more. But no matter how Liu Bosheng dislikes Liu Xiu, he says he is difficult to become a great man. If anyone dares to insult his younger brother easily in Chongling or even Caiyang County, whether it is the son of the county magistrate or the young man of the same clan of a seniority, Liu Bosheng will directly take his companions to search the guys, and beat the child opposite to him to kneel down and beg for mercy!

"What's fun about playing chess?"

When Liu Xiu suggested another game, and this time he held a black hand, Liu Bosheng said this. The elder brother is not willing to admit that the game is too challenging for patience and layout. This is a game that he will never be able to fight against Liu Xiu. He only said: "I still like Liubo!"

The game of Liubo is simple, and you have to throw chopsticks before playing chess, which is a test of luck. Liu Bosheng likes to bet!

"When I have to gamble, I will also gamble." Liu Xiu only stored the black and white chess pieces in his palm and put them back into the chess cup little by little. It was like raindrops sprinkled on the jade plate, making a rustling sound.

He raised his head and smiled at his brother, "But those who can win by planning, why should you rely on your winning or losing all on gambling?"

"General, General?"

A call from outside the camp called Liu Bosheng back from the past, lowered his head, held his brush in his hand, and his name was written on the bamboo slip, which had been sealed; he raised his head and was directly in front of him, and there were many mistakes in the marching maps hanging in the camp, marking the location where Lai She might have arrived and where the war in the east occurred, but the results of both east and west were unknown.

"Uncle Wen, now I have thrown out the two pieces that I can do in my hand, leaving only the lonely bet in my hand!"

Liu Bosheng talked to himself secretly, and at the same time looked at the person who called him softly. It was Liu Zhong, a member of the Chongling tribe. He helped him attack and kill the Huyang County Magistrate when he was up. Now he is a servant in the Gengshi court and has a very good relationship with Liu Xiu.

The letter Liu Bosheng is writing is to leave it to him for safekeeping.

Although Liu Bosheng is always careless and keeps talking, "The Wei River is over and can be broken", he has been confronting the fifth reunion for so many days, and he also knows that he has encountered a strong enemy. After all, the opposite is the hometown of the fifth reunion. The king and minister are united, and the military and civilians are united, guarding the Wei River defense line tightly.

The simple luring of the enemy did not work. He had to grit his teeth and distribute the elite of the Chongling soldiers to Lai She, and let the Deng soldiers, who were the most capable of fighting among the "miscellaneous army" under his command, go east to meet Wang Chang.

These two pieces seemed to throw a stone into the Wei River, and they had no reaction. Until noon today, the Wei soldiers stationed in Xiliu Camp suddenly became restless. Three or four thousand people left the camp and headed north, and they were still fighting the "Geng" flag. No matter how bad the Green Forest information is, they knew that it was Geng Yan, a general under the command of the Fifth Reun.

"It must be the East and West, and the West will succeed, forcing the fifth republic to transfer troops back to the rescue!"

All the generals were happy, and Liu Bosheng also hoped that this was the case - it must be!

By dividing Shanglinyuan, although there was still surplus of food obtained from the powerful people in Weinan, they could hold on until the beginning of winter. After solving this source, the frequency of plunder was slightly reduced, but the morale of dividing the palace to increase the soldiers was gradually consumed by time, and the war was started before it was completely exhausted.

"Ah, you are your own person." Liu Bosheng often called him a close friend of his tribe members.

"Tonight, I personally cross the Wei River to attack, and you stay here."

"If I can return, this letter does not have to be sent out."

"If I can't return, go south and go to Hanzhong King Liu Jia, and then send this letter to Uncle Wen for me in the future."

Liu Zhong was stunned. Although he was a very close person, he had never seen Liu Bosheng do this before. He only said, "General, this battle is serious..."

"Thinking about something!"

Liu Bosheng laughed again: "If I return, I will definitely return with all my victories."

"If I don't return, I will definitely be killing crazy and hit Liyang and even Hexi. I don't have time to come back. I want you to report the good news to Liu Jia and Uncle Wen for me!"

He stood up, tightened his armor, and restored his contemptuous expression: "The so-called King Lun of Wei, just a native chicken and a tile dog!"

...

After walking out of the tent, a group of captains of Chongling soldiers gathered together to discuss the specific strategies for crossing the Wei River. Among them, there was a dazzling man, Cen Peng, standing alone, not far or near. As a surrendered general, his identity was a bit embarrassing.

Liu Bosheng greeted everyone carelessly and called Cen Peng to the side.

"Your voice is the way to travel between the east and the west, thanks to your plan to complete it for me."

Liu Bosheng looked at Cen Peng and said, "You are acquaintance with the fifth family, but you can plan for me with all your heart. I read that right, Jun Ran is indeed a real man."

"General release me and don't kill me. Cen Peng is upright. Since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he will do his best under the general's command."

Just like he knew that the trend of the new dynasty was about to go, he insisted on staying in Wancheng until the last moment. Cen Peng offered advice for love and friendship, not for a fixed regime.

But Cen Peng also had a question, and he didn't dare to say it. Until today, he boldly said: "I heard from someone that the King of Wei wanted to exchange me with his younger brothers and sisters, but was rejected by the general. Why?"

"Cen Peng Yiyi's defeated general is more useful than General Wen's beloved wife and the children of Yin clan?"

"Cen Junran, I look down on myself too much."

Liu Bosheng said solemnly: "Xiao He said that all generals can easily get it. Those who are as good as Han Xin are unparalleled in national talents."

"You Cen Junran are the same. You are a handsome man and a national sage! In addition, I admire you, and you cannot be exchanged for just women and children. This is a humiliation, a great humiliation! Even if she is the one my brother likes."

Liu Bosheng laughed: "If the Fifteenth City in Weibei is willing to exchange it, I can consider it."

This compares Cen Peng to Heshi Bi, which makes him feel even more sad. He bows his head and says, "If you only surrender your general, you will be treated well by the general, and you will not be able to repay you."

It is really entangled and uncomfortable. Cen Peng hopes that the fifth reunion can win, but at the same time, he does not want Liu Bosheng to lose. The former is the first to discover his talents and recommend him, and he has the grace of knowing and meeting him; the latter forgives himself to reveal his righteousness, and makes Gengshi appoint himself as a marquis, which is a grace of saving his life.

But the fifth reunion, Liu Bosheng's ambition to be destined to conflict, had to make him choose.

Liu Bosheng also looked at Cen Peng and asked the question.

"Jun Ran thinks, how likely is I to win this game?"

"to be honest!"

Since Cen Peng could plan for Liu Bosheng, he naturally understood what this battle meant, and he only gritted his teeth and said, "If General Deng from East and West, both generals can accomplish things, and the general crossed the Wei River and attacked him, it would be 55!"

"Even if that's the case, it's a draw?" Liu Bosheng asked again: "What if there weren't them? Sanqi?"

"The King of Wei has the advantage of the Wei River and the boats, and the victory or defeat should be in September 1st!"

"Is it 10%?"

Liu Bosheng remained silent, but after a while, he laughed again: "This ratio is a bet!"

He pointed at Cen Peng: "You really never tell lies or do not want to make false statements. No wonder you were depressed and unsuccessful in the new dynasty for more than ten years until you met the Fifth Reun and Yan Boshi."

"For Jun Ran, I will win and I will spare the fifth reunion."

After saying this, Liu Bosheng left seriously and left Cen Peng to stay in the Weinan camp, but he hadn't finished what he said in his heart.

"But if I am unfortunately defeated, Cen Junran, do whatever you should do, and don't remember my affection! Liu Bosheng is willing to bet this bet!"

...

There are three Wei Bridges in total. The Zhongwei Bridge is opposite Chang'an, and the Dongwei Bridge is to Changling, the old family of the fifth home of the fifth home. The Xiwei Bridge is right in front of you, and the opposite bank is Xiliuying.

Their floating bridge was built on the remains of Xiwei Bridge. It is said that Wang Mang was burned because he was afraid of the fifth reunion, but Liu Bosheng felt that this was burned because he was afraid of the fifth reunion.

All the wooden bridges have been burned down, but the stone piers that have been used since the Han Dynasty are still there. There is one every ten steps, standing in the river water, and being burned by fireworks.

The pontoon bridge has started construction one after another in the past few days, firstly, swimmers swam over and pulled a few ropes to the bridge pier to fix it. Then fix some small boats on the ropes and lay wooden boards on the boats. Of course, it is not that simple, but in Liu Bosheng's eyes, this is the case. After further investigation, how to tie a knot, how to build a board, and how to keep the boat balanced in the flowing water, that is the delicate work of the craftsmen.

The Green Forest Army was accustomed to sports and combat, and had rich experience in building pontoon bridges. In order to prevent enemy fire ships from destroying pontoon bridges, they were careful and built one on the left and right pontoon bridges, with the left bridge longer and the right bridge shorter.

The left bridge has been built three-quarters, with only a few dozen steps left from the north shore, and a few strong men with good water properties can penetrate it. But now, we have to build the enemy's crossbows and rockets, and we are all going to put out the fire every day. The right bridge has been built two-thirds, and it is barely within the enemy's range.

Liu Bosheng sat by the Wei River, waiting for the sun to set a little bit, and the opposite side seemed to be the sound of songs about the Chinese city, singing "Fighting the South of the City". He heard that the fifth reunion had personally settled in Xiliu Camp, and heard people say that the King of Wei loved to let the soldiers sing each other.

When singing the two lines "Why is Liang building a room south? How to north?" and "When you go out in the morning and go back at night", the sound is particularly loud, as if it means something.

Liu Bosheng sneered: "It's not the tune of Chu Ge and Nanyang. The soldiers don't understand it. It's not easy for them to disrupt our army."

But it is still useful. There are also songs of Xialiba people from Nanyang, Jingchu, and they are missing home.

Time passes by little by little with the flowing water. It seems that today will be spent in the peace of confrontation as before.

However, as night falls, the direction of Zhongwei Bridge, thirty or forty miles downstream, was filled with fire! Killing sounds are everywhere!

It was Liu Bosheng who arranged for Yin Shi and others to use the piers there to build two floating bridges. They took the feint attack first, and hid the soldiers gathered in Xiwei Bridge in the forest on the shore and prepare for the rear of the inner wall.

After a while, another Wei soldier left the camp and headed east!

"Xi Liuying, there are still a few thousand men left by Di Wulun?"

Liu Bosheng stood up, picked up a thin piece of stone, threw it into the Wei River and drifted it. He was very strong and had enough head to fly for more than ten times before he sank into the river - but he still couldn't reach the other side.

"Start!"

He turned around and entered the dry fields covered by the willow forests. In the fields that had just been harvested, they were soldiers who ate and drank with straws.

"General."

"General Zhutian."

When Liu Bosheng walked past the Chongling soldiers, he could call out many people's names one by one with a faint fire. When his brothers raised the righteous flag in Baishui Township, they followed only two or three thousand soldiers, expanding little by little, and sometimes they were frustrated and were dispersed.

Many of them have died in the battlefield, either in the thick fog of Little Chang'an, or in the offensive and defensive battles in Wancheng, or even buried in the fatigue of long-distance marching. After coming and going, the Shadai has reached the present day, and a total of more than 6,000 soldiers from the headquarters have entered the pass, and two thousand were divided for Lai She to take risks, leaving 4,000 left.

Now, Liu Bosheng ordered another two thousand people and handed it over to his most trusted brave general Liu Ji. He is also a long-time general on the battlefield. He has fought dozens of times since the rest of the year, and has been the bravest army. If he doesn't accept others, he will submit to himself!

"A Ji, you are the pioneer!"

Chongling soldiers are good steel and must be used on the blade. Whether they can benefit from crossing the river depends on them. If they can successfully climb first, the subsequent more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops will have the courage to keep up.

"Receive the order!" Liu Ji knelt on one knee: "The honor of death, the humiliation of life!"
