Naturally, Liu Qi would not let Xu Shu go, but it was difficult to change Xu Shu's attitude for a while, so Liu Qi connected him with everything and made them indistinguishable from each other. Even if Xu Shu had to leave, these things would also get entangled.
He can't leave.
Liu Qi had already seen that Xu Shu also wanted to stay, but he had said before that it was not easy to break if he wanted to leave. Liu Qi's actions were just an excuse for Xu Shu to stay, just like Gan Ning.
Liu Qi's army marched all the way to Linxiang, and all the counties along the way turned their backs. First, because they had no soldiers and horses. Most of the soldiers and horses were transferred to Linxiang by Zhang Xian, leaving only a few hundred soldiers and horses in each county.
, even public security is difficult, let alone facing Liu Qi's army. Second, the local people do not want war. They do not have Zhang Xian's ambitions, they only hope to live a peaceful life, so they will welcome Liu Qi's army when they see it. Third, the local people
The official was a local person who had many things to do, so naturally he would not confront Liu Qi for his own sake.
So in the next few days, Liu Qi's army not only encountered no trouble, but went very smoothly. Before they reached a city, local officials would open the city to welcome them and kill pigs and sheep to reward the army. Although Liu Qi did not accept it, they still went their own way and prepared.
On the third day, Liu Qi's army finally arrived outside Linxiang City. The army looked for a suitable place to camp on the spot. Liu Qi and Xu Shu surrounded Linxiang City to check.
Naturally, the movements of Liu Qi's army could not be hidden from Zhang Xian, but Zhang Xian had decided to fight Liu Qi to the death in Linxiang, and naturally he would not care about the reactions of the counties along the way. In his opinion, as long as he could defeat Liu Qi, those counties would naturally submit to him again.
After victory had been decided, all the officials in these counties were replaced by their own people.
At this time, Zhang Xian was having a meal in the garden, when suddenly Zhang Yi walked over quickly.
"Father, Liu Qi's army has arrived." Zhang Yi walked a little fast and spoke a little hastily.
"It's here so soon." Zhang Xian was a little surprised. He expected that it would not arrive until noon tomorrow at the earliest, but he was not worried as he had already prepared for Liu Qi.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Xian put down his chopsticks and stood up and walked towards the city gate, Zhang Yi followed closely.
Not long after, Zhang Xian climbed up the city wall. Flags were fluttering outside the city, tents were lined up one after another, the camp had been built, and shouts of killing could be heard from inside.
"Hahaha, Liu Qi built the camp very quickly. It's a pity that these soldiers and horses have not been trained for a long time. Tibet is still training in the camp, so it is not too late." Zhang Xian looked at the busy soldiers outside the city and said with a smile.
"Yes, my father, Liu Qi, is young after all and doesn't understand military matters. Compared with my father, he is nothing. To fight with my father now is like playing tricks on Lu Ban's door. When my father is captured by him, I will definitely do it in front of all the soldiers in the city.
I slapped him hard on the face." Zhang Yue, who came after hearing the news, said with a ferocious expression.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, just do how Liu Qi insulted you in Xiangyang." Zhang Xian looked at Zhang Yue and felt a little distressed. Zhang Yue had never been reprimanded by him since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he was beaten by Liu Qi when he arrived in Xiangyang.
A whip.
After Zhang Xian comforted Zhang Yue, he said to Zhang Yi: "Go and tell Huang Zhong, Han Xuan and others like it so they can also take a look."
Zhang Yi asked with some confusion: "Father, why are you still so polite to Huang Zhong and the others? These people have been opposing my father. Why don't you kill them all together to avoid future troubles?"
Zhang Xian said angrily: "You know what? These people have high prestige in Changsha. Killing them hastily will only provoke a mutiny. Let me kill this Liu Qi who has complete control of these soldiers and horses. It will not be too late to kill them again."
"That's what father said." Zhang Yi took the order and left.
A quarter of an hour later, Huang Zhong and Han Xuan came together.
"Brother Huang, Brother Han. Please come here." Zhang Xian saw Huang Zhong and others arriving, so he went to invite Huang Zhong and Han Xuan. At this time, Huang Zhong and Han Xuan had no choice but to follow Zhang Xian's arrangements.
When several people came to the city wall, Zhang Xian was the first to speak: "Look, that's Liu Qi's camp."
Huang Zhong and the others looked around and saw that the camp was surrounded by tall trees and high security. From time to time, sounds of killing came from the camp. They couldn't help but think to themselves, they didn't expect Liu Qi to be so powerful. Zhang Xian was afraid that he would be in trouble. But they
Don't even remind him. They are now very different from Zhang Xian, so they won't remind Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian saw that several people were silent and said: "Liu Biao sent Liu Qi, a yellow-mouthed boy, to die. He wants to capture Changsha with less than 20,000 troops. He is too stupid."
Huang Zhong and others nodded, but they didn't think so. Zhang Xian had only collected the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Changsha in the past few days. Some of them were taken from them, and the other was how the family's private soldiers could compare with the regular army.
Although the soldiers and horses on the opposite side are not as good as yours, they look elite. This person is a bit too arrogant.
"I'm afraid Liu Qi won't come to attack the city today. How about joining us to rob the camp today?" Zhang Xian said.
"No, Liu Qi will definitely be heavily guarded when he arrives today. If he goes to rob the camp, he may not succeed." Han Xuan objected first, and Huang Zhong and others nodded in agreement.
"Haha, if that's the case, then we'll deal with that kid Liu Qi tomorrow." Zhang Xian said with a smile.
"Look there's someone there." Suddenly a sergeant shouted.
When the people nearby saw that there was indeed someone there, they couldn't help but exclaimed, "There really are people here."
"Who is so bold as to come to Linxiang?"
When Zhang Xian heard the soldiers talking, he turned around and saw a few people riding horses on a dirt slope not far outside the city. They were checking this way. He couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you doing? You ran away.
Come here and run wild."
In the distance, Liu Qi and Xu Shu were observing the surrounding terrain and city gate defenses of Linxiang City. When they heard Zhang Xian's question, Liu Qi asked, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to take care of me?"
Zhang Xian said angrily: "I am the prefect of Changsha, so of course this place is under my control. Why don't you guys come here to die?" Zhang Xian originally thought that if he revealed his identity and some of them didn't obediently come over to intercede, he would pardon them to show his true self.
He was so generous, but he didn't expect things to be different from what he thought.
After listening to Zhang Xian's words, Liu Qi said: "You are the traitor Zhang Xian. You heard that I am Liu Qi, the general who conquered the south, and I came specifically to conquer you. Why don't you get out of the city and die." After Liu Qi finished speaking, several people followed Liu Qi.
Laughed.
When Zhang Xian heard that Liu Qi had announced his family status, he didn't know that he had been tricked. He shouted to Liu Qi: "Liu Qi, if you have the ability, come and fight me for 300 rounds. I will kill you like shit."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "What qualifications do you, a rebellious person, have to fight with me for three hundred rounds? My father appointed you as the governor of Changsha. I thought you could benefit one side, but I didn't expect you to be so ambitious and do such a treasonous thing. It's really
He is despised by others." Liu Qi finished speaking and then said to the city: "Soldiers on the city, it is Zhang Xian who rebelled this time, and it has nothing to do with everyone. As long as someone can repent, I will definitely forget the blame, otherwise the city will be destroyed.
Wait until you die." After saying this, Liu Qi laughed and left.
Zhang Xian was furious when he heard Liu Qi's words and immediately ordered people to go out of the city to arrest a few people. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi and the others left as soon as they finished speaking. Liu Qi and others left before his people even left the city.
Huang Zhong and others secretly praised Liu Qi's words. Liu Qi's words have no effect now, but they can be fatal at a critical moment. Not many civilian soldiers in the city are loyal to Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian will be at a disadvantage in future wars.
, they will definitely defect to Liu Qi in order to protect themselves. If some people defect to the enemy, more people will follow, and Zhang Xian's army will collapse.
Zhang Xian was extremely angry. He was defeated by Liu Qi even before the battle. How could he not be annoyed? He secretly vowed to make Liu Qi look good tomorrow.
"When you see Liu Qi being so arrogant, you obviously didn't tell me and we take it seriously. Tomorrow, please take action to make sure Liu Qi looks good." Zhang Xian turned his head and said to them.
Huang Zhong and his family members were in the hands of Zhang Xian. Seeing that Zhang Xian was angry, he could only respond: "Don't worry, sir, I will seek justice for you tomorrow."
