Chapter 153 Is the little girl like a cruel person?
"Fan Lixiang surrendered?"
When Liu Zhang got up early in the morning and heard the news, he was a little baffled, but not surprised. He had not expected Fan Lixiang to defend Jingnan, but he did not expect Fan Lixiang to surrender, and he was the first to surrender.
Fan Lixiang surrendered and Liangqiao fought to the death. Why did Liu Zhang feel that the land in Jingnan, which had been almost reduced to ruins by war, was full of weirdness.
Fan Lixiang's charming and cunning face flashed through her mind.
Liu Zhang did not believe that Fan Lixiang would surrender. The reason was very simple. Fan Lixiang was very smart. She knew that Liu Qi temporarily accepted her because of the need to stabilize the situation. If she was defeated by Liu Qi, she would not get any benefits, including
She wants power.
But there was no need to discuss this. Liu Zhang stretched himself. Xiao Furong refused to obey last night and was not allowed to find other women by himself. Holding the hot and plump female body, he could not vent his lust, but could recharge his batteries.
, but Liu Zhang felt more tired than usual when he woke up early in the morning.
"Xiao Nao, what are your next plans?" Liu Zhang asked, rubbing his stiff face.
Fa Zheng stepped out: "My lord, now Liu Qi has adopted Fan Lixiang's grain scraping plan. Originally, the grain could last for three months at most, but now the grain and grass may last for more than five months. We have missed the best opportunity to attack Jingbei. It is better to stick to Jiangling and wait.
Liu Qi's 100,000-strong army was trapped and destroyed, and then Xu Tu headed north."
What Fazheng was talking about was what Liu Zhang regretted the most. Jingzhou originally had a strong naval force but a weak infantry force. Except for Liu Qi's army, almost all the other infantry forces were destroyed in Zigui. Now Xiangyang is almost an empty city, and Liu Qi's 100,000-strong army is at the end of its rope.
In the south, the Sichuan army was unable to divide its forces and missed the best opportunity to attack Xiangyang.
But life is unsatisfactory 10 times out of 10, and there is nothing we can do about it. After March and May, I don’t know what Jingbei will be like.
What Liu Zhang was most worried about was whether the hermits in Jingzhou would come out. Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, almost all the top counselors in the Three Kingdoms were in Jingbei. These people could make calculations, turn their hands to make clouds and rain, and scatter beans.
An army is omnipotent. As long as one Liu Biao becomes an official, there will be many variables.
Historically, these counselors looked down upon Liu Biao, and would never surrender to Liu Biao, a lord who, although he had good intentions, had no ambition, could not control the soldiers externally, and could not manage the household affairs internally.
But it is different now. None of these counselors are from the powerful families of the time. Even if they are not from the proud family, their elder teachers, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are all from the proud family. Will they sit back and watch them annex Jingzhou?
But it was useless to think about it now. Liu Zhang raised his head and said to the civil and military people: "It is impossible to wait for Liu Qi to be destroyed. Now Liu Qi's army has marched from Hanshou to Gong'an. Immediately, Pegasus sent an order to the fish belly, and asked the Wuxi barbarians to send troops with my order."
, harassed Liu Qi's rear, and didn't Fan Lixiang propose a grain scraping plan? He immediately sent people to sneak into Jingnan to spread the news that Liu Qi was short of grain and grass. After robbing the people of Jingnan, they would arrest women, children, and make dried meat to serve as military rations.
.”
The ministers looked at each other with surprised expressions. Seeing Liu Zhang speaking these words without breath and without blinking, as if it was natural, they felt a slight chill. As soon as the rumor spread.
, as long as women and children disappear in the war, Liu Qi's 100,000-strong army will turn into demons in the hearts of the people in Jingnan, and I am afraid that his reputation will be worse than Liu Zhang's.
"In addition." Liu Zhang continued: "The isolated city cannot be defended. Zhang Ren stayed in the main city, Yan Yan led an army to garrison Yiling, and Yang Huai led an army to set up camp west of Jiangling.
Huang Quan of Chengdu asked him to mobilize Hanzhong, Shangyong, and Brazil's troops to go south to Yubeli Pass as a reserve."
Liu Zhang was really worried that those monsters in Jingbei would come out of the mountains to attack the grain road and cut off their retreat. Since he wanted to hold on to Jiangling for a long time, he simply arranged Jiangling like an iron barrel. Liu Zhang believed that even monsters would be there.
In the face of great strength, there is nothing he can do about himself.
Jingnan, Ancheng.
A Jingnan soldier stopped a woman who was running out of the back door. The woman was holding a basket of eggs. The soldier grabbed it and kicked the woman to the ground: "Diao Fu, you don't know that Mr. Liu Qi is here."
Are you collecting food and grass? You dare to steal military food and you are seeking death."
As the soldier spoke, he kicked the woman several more times. The woman howled and endured the severe pain, but even snatched the egg from the soldier's hand. She grabbed the hem of the soldier's robe and begged sobbingly: "Please, Master."
, This is not military ration, this is the last ration for our family. My three-year-old child has not eaten for several days. Please, Master, be well, Master."
"Fuck you." The soldier kicked the woman out, picked up the egg basket and left. The woman collapsed on the ground and screamed.
Ancheng is a small city in Changsha County with a population of less than 10,000, but now it has become a hell on earth. Since the food of the wealthy families has been looted by the Sichuan army, Liu Qi can only loot these common people after accepting Fan Lixiang's grain-grabbing plan, so that every family
Not a single millet, not a grain of rice in every household, and they died of hunger in the wild for a while, which was unspeakably miserable.
Fan Lixiang led a group of soldiers and looked coldly at the chaotic city from the city wall. Soldiers were everywhere chasing the people. The people fought desperately to protect food, and then beat and kicked them. Chen Ying frowned and looked a little unbearable.
, opened his dry lips and said to Fan Lixiang: "Miss, have we gone too far?"
Fan Lixiang let out a sigh of relief, as if Liu Qi's words were still echoing in her ears. When Liu Qi heard the grain scraping plan she proposed, she was also frightened and uncertain, and did not dare to make a decision.
Liu Qi, like his father Liu Biao, is like the Liu family in the late Han Dynasty. They were all benevolent and righteous kings, unwilling to commit more crimes, even when they were in danger.
But Fan Lixiang told Liu Qi that Jingnan had not paid taxes to Jingzhou Prefecture for several years, and every family had more or less surplus grain. As long as Liu Zhang was defeated this time, grain could be mobilized from Jingbei to Jingnan and returned to the people.
However, if Liu Qi's army is destroyed, the entire people of Jingzhou will be ravaged under the iron heel of the Sichuan army.
This is righteousness.
Liu Qi's will was weakened in the face of righteousness. Coupled with the civil and military dissuasion from those who were afraid of starving to death, only one general, Wenpin, objected. Under these circumstances, Liu Qi finally agreed to Fan Lixiang's plan.
Liu Qi repeatedly warned Fan Lixiang not to go too far and try to let the people in Jingnan pay voluntarily. Fan Lixiang sneered in her heart. Jingnan has been in war for several years and the people have suffered from war. Only a noble man like Liu Qi, who lives in a temple, would think that
They still have a surplus of food, who will voluntarily pay for it?
Fan Lixiang put on an innocent and charming smile at Liu Qi and said softly.
"Sir, do you think this little girl is cruel?"
A jade face that is so clean and reflective, bright eyes that are full of charm, a faint smile at the corner of the mouth, and a glowing temperament that is like March in the world, whether it is warm or cold.
It was as if Fan Lixiang was the only one left in the lobby for an instant. All eyes were focused on Fan Lixiang's beautiful face. The lobby was eerily quiet for a moment, and Wen and Wu were speechless.
Liu Qi was stunned for a long time, his head suddenly stopped, and he just said: "Okay, okay, believe it, believe it, girl..."
