Liu Xiang blinked. If he hadn't been so anxious to hit Zou Jing, Liu Bei would have died in his hands.
If you think about it carefully, Liu Bei's fate is really hard, and few of the leaders who have been his boss have a good ending.
Now hearing Shi A mention it again, Liu Xiang asked curiously: "Is Liu Bei very famous?"
Shi A said nonchalantly: "I have only heard of Liu Bei's name in Zhuoxian County. I heard from others that Liu Bei is quite famous as a knight-errant. He has raised many thugs and has friends with various private businessmen.
.”
"There is no need to look for Liu Bei. We had a fight in Jixian a few days ago and he escaped. I don't know where he has gone now."
Shi A nodded, and both of them fell into deep thought.
Liu Xiang was thinking about how to provoke Shi'a and ask him to assassinate Wen Shu. He couldn't give an order directly. The assassination was too dangerous. Forcing the order would be equivalent to asking his subordinates to die. Such behavior was a loss of character.
This is not a Shi'a problem, it will make many subordinates feel awkward and easily lose their support.
Shi'a was thinking about where to find a powerful assassin. He was in the north, didn't know many people, and couldn't think of an answer.
There was silence for a long time.
Liu Xiang secretly sighed, his face was not thick enough, his heart was not dark enough, and his methods were not clever enough. Let's talk about this later. The worst case is that he asked Wen Shu to answer in front of the formation and shot him to death with a crossbow drawn from his waist.
It's just that this method is not very safe, and Wen Shu may not pay attention to him.
While Liu Xiang was sighing, someone came to report that the Shesheng camp had arrived and had entered the city.
"Tune one person to guard the treasury, and the rest will take over the city defense."
The visitor went back to deliver the order, and the people from the Shesheng camp arrived soon. Liu Xiang also ordered that the treasury be sealed and people would be dispatched to take inventory after dawn.
He took Su Wei to the county government office. He wanted to look at Gu'an's yellow book and think about the land allocation.
Not long after arriving at the county government office, Zhao Yun sent someone to report: "The defense of the four gates has been taken over by the Shesheng Battalion. A total of more than 1,300 Gu'an defenders were persuaded to surrender, and more than 200 of them were killed."
It turned out to be much easier when my old boss persuaded me to surrender.
"Collect the weapons and go to the military camp to stay."
"only."
I took off the Gu'an today. It happened suddenly, I was not well prepared, and the process was too fast. It's not even midnight yet and I still have time to get some sleep.
It's so dramatic, just like a novel.
Liu Xiang felt that there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands controlling him.
The troops were ordered to repair on the spot, and the guard camp was ordered to have two troops and 12,000 people to guard the camp. The militia assessment was carried out normally.
The rest of the troops will leave the camp at midnight tomorrow and take all the carriages with them to garrison the city of Gu'an.
After Liu Xiang read the pornographic album, he also went to sleep for a while.
At Mao o'clock the next day, Liu Xiang summoned Zhao Yun and county lieutenant Zhang Yi and asked, "I want to seize the Qiu Kingdom and open the city gates falsely. How many men and horses should I bring?"
When he saw Zhang Yi last night, Liu Xiang planned to let him lead the team, pretend to be a defeated soldier, and pretend to open the gate of Qiu Kingdom.
Otherwise, this guy would have been cold for a long time.
Zhang Yi shuddered. He was a veteran in the officialdom. How could he not understand the meaning of Liu Xiang's words? He was asking him to deceive the city gate.
Good luck!
Why is it so difficult to live a good life?
He lowered his head, wanting to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and replied: "At most eight or nine hundred people, no more. Lord, give me five hundred people, which is enough."
Liu Xiang stretched out his hand to stop him and said to Zhang Yi: "What do you think of County Lieutenant Zhang?"
Zhang Yi couldn't escape. He knew that he could survive if he went, but he would definitely die if he didn't go. He said with a tearful voice: "A certain person knows the whole country well and is willing to lead a general to deceive the city gate."
Zhang Yi understood clearly that Qiu Guo cannot be defended. A large army has been deployed in the north under Zhuoxian City for a long time. Now the south is occupied again. Qiu Guo is like a fish in the net and a bird in a cage. You can escape even if you want to.
No.
The purpose of letting himself go to the city gate was to reduce casualties. Even if he didn't go, the Qiu Kingdom would not be able to defend it. He also had some small thoughts in his heart. If the plan was successful, he would no longer have to worry about it.
He continued to cry miserably: "I am willing to fight to the death for the general. If things are not harmonious, I just ask the general to treat my wife and children kindly."
Liu Xiang was a little confused, what the hell is this?
How can he show his loyalty and yet suffer misfortune? It is not that difficult to seize the Qiu Kingdom. Zhang Yi said it as if he was going to die. There is something fishy in this.
He pondered for a while, stared at Zhang Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Choose eight hundred people, pretend to be defeated, and defraud the city gate. No matter what, as long as you win the Qiu Kingdom, I will give you credit."
Liu Xiang thought about it all, and concluded that this Zhang Yi was definitely not loyal to him, and there was no reason to defect to Qiu. This was the same as joining the Kuomintang in 1949. It was too long for his life.
.
What is he thinking?
It doesn't matter, this Zhang Yi is just a disposable tool. Once used, he can be thrown aside. If you are in a good mood, find a corner and let him fend for himself; if you are in a bad mood, there are ways to deal with it.
he.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiang smiled and said to Zhang Yi in a friendly manner: "Zhang Yi, if you win the Qiu Kingdom, you can live in peace. I will not hesitate to reward those who have made meritorious deeds."
Zhang Yi bowed his hands, bowed to the end, said nothing, turned around and left.
This guy is a bit interesting.
I underestimated him.
Pretending to be ugly and nice before was just his way of survival, so you can't underestimate him just because of that.
Liu Xiang abides by the principle of emergency avoidance and can be forgiven for doing some excessive things in order to survive.
As long as you don't become my enemy and let you go, no matter what, my magnanimity can accommodate many people and many things.
Liu Xiang smiled calmly, recovered his thoughts, and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, I will give you three hundred guards and a thousand Yue cavalry on the way to Qiu Kingdom. You join forces with them and follow Zhang Yi. If
If he succeeds, you rush to the city; if he fails, support his retreat. I will lead my own army and support you behind you."
"The last general takes orders." Zhao Yun also went down to order troops.
After Liu Xiang and other guards arrived, he left a thousand crossbowmen and 6,000 infantry to guard the city. With a thousand crossbowmen and 12,000 infantry, he rode in carts and accelerated his march, fighting with Zhang Yi and Zhao Yun.
The teams converged. Under the guidance of the guide, the entire army had to go east for a while and then turn back to the north.
Qiuguo is located fifty miles northeast of Gu'an County, on the west bank of Juma River.
Juma River is the Juma River in later generations. To be precise, the upper reaches of Juma River in later generations was called Laishui in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the middle and lower reaches were called Juma River.
This road is on the edge of the Taihang Mountains. The mountains are winding and full of hills. It is not easy to walk. You have to go around to the east and the distance is much longer than the straight line.
The scenery is pretty good.
This area was Laishui County in later generations. Shidu and Yesanpo were in this area, but Liu Xiang couldn't find the specific location and couldn't visit it, which was a small pity.
Speeding up the road, Liu Xiang finally arrived ten miles south of Qiu in the evening. He had fun along the way, thinking about the scenic spots in future generations, and treated himself as if he was traveling.
Zhang Yi has already accelerated, and should be at the foot of Qiuguo City by now. Zhao Yun, four or five miles ahead, is resting his horse and preparing to charge into the city.
Liu Xiang sat on the shaft of the carriage and played with Bai Xi. The road conditions were not good along the way. He did not want Bai Xi to get tired and kept letting him run on empty. This made Bai Xi very dissatisfied and kept coming over to give him a headbutt.
Liu Xiang rubbed Bai Xi's cheek, trying to calm the little guy's emotions. It was only four years old, and it was already following Liu Xiang around the battlefield. It was indeed hard work.
When Bai Xi went into battle for the first time, he was only three years old. Liu Xiang clearly felt that it was shaking, but he still bravely ran with the horses. A few months later, it is now able to maneuver in the battle formation with ease.
Zongheng, it and Liu Xiang have grown a lot.
Liu Xiang was comforting Bai Xi when a battle report came from the front, indicating that he had failed to deceive the city.
