Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 227

Chief Liu?Song Chen scratched his head in confusion.

"Haven't asked for advice yet?" Song Chen asked suspiciously.

The man sneered and said, "Timely Yu Song Jiang is you, right?"

Song Chen was taken aback when he heard that, this code name was only used to save Pang De, and he carefully looked at the person in front of him, and found that he had a three-point resemblance to the fat-headed Yang Song.

"You...you are Yang..."

"My name is Liuzhu. I used to raise food and grass for the shopkeeper Song in Nanzheng, and I helped you pass Yangping Pass on the night of Shangyuan. Did you forget?"

Because the name Yang Song has a bad reputation in Hanzhong, and he was also worried that those hungry refugees would "kill the rich and help the poor", so he always used the pseudonym Liuzhu during his stay in Zitong.

Deng Ai properly resettled 20 Hanzhong refugees, with 500 people as a small village and 5000 people as a large village. He sent Dengjiazhuang children to each village as the head of the village to guide the refugees in scientific planting. Gao Shun's militarized training.

Liuzhu had never done farm work, and it was very difficult to carry and carry the hoe, so he was often reported by the villagers for being lazy, and soon gave feedback to Deng Ai through the village head.

When Deng Ai communicated with Liu Zhu, he found that the other party was not only organized, but also able to read and write. This kind of person was a rare talent in that era. Although he was not good at work, he was better at being flexible and good at communicating.

Deng Ai wanted to reuse willow and bamboo, but worried that using such a lazy guy would make the rest of the villagers feel unfair, so he adopted the encouragement method taught by Lantian.

After Liu Zhu was targeted by Deng Ai, he thought that this young man would make him punish and endure hardships. As a result, Deng Ai expressed his appreciation for his ability, and hoped that Liu Zhu could take the lead in working hard in his small village, and when he made achievements, he would Promote him to the rank of head of the village.

The current village chiefs are all from Dengjiazhuang, and Deng Ai is a direct descendant of Dengjiazhuang, so those refugees from the head of Guizhou have no chance to take office. They feel that wherever they go, they are farming for food, and they dare not dream of serving in the army.

The head of the village does not have to go to work in the field every day, mainly to supervise and guide the villagers. With Deng Ai's solemn promise, Liu Zhu's mind gradually became more active. As long as there is hope in his heart, he will be motivated to work. .

Although Liu Zhu worked slowly at first, but his comprehension ability was very strong. This novice farmer has the best grasp of scientific planting. When he arrived at the first season of harvest in Zitong, the land output in charge of Liu Zhu was [-]% higher than that of others, so it was logical that he was hired Deng Ai was promoted to the head of Xiaotun.

After Liuzhu became the head of the small village, he often helped the villagers with their planting and living matters. He gradually became famous in the village, and even the rest of the small village came to him for help.

The feeling of being loved by the people is something Liu Zhu has never experienced before. He deeply understands that creating wealth is more fulfilling than plundering it.

Liuzhu sleeps soundly every night, and she no longer worries about being murdered for money like she was in Nanzheng. Although she is not as rich as when she was Yang Song, what she has now is more solid.

Because Liuzhu was excellent in farming and loved by the villagers, he was finally appointed by Deng Ai as the head of the big village, responsible for managing ten small villages with a total of [-] villagers. The fat Yang Song disappeared and was replaced by the Able and lean willow bamboo.

When Song Chen heard this information, he immediately knew that the person in front of him was Yang Song, but the change in appearance was indeed too great. Not only did he lose all his fat, but his originally fair complexion was also tanned.

"Captain Liu?" Song Chen asked back.

"You finally remember me? But your real name is Song Jiang?" Liu Zhu suddenly remembered that Song Jiang might not be his real name, otherwise he had been secretly inquiring for several years without any information.

Song Chen raised his head and smiled slightly, wondering if he told him his name was Wu Yong or his real name?

"Lieutenant Song, is there any problem? My lord invites you to drink." Chen Dao walked over to look at Liu Zhu and said in a low voice.

Song Chen's military rank belongs to the entrapment army, so his position is lower than that of anyone in the tent, and he was assigned to the last seat in the corner because of the news of Zhang Fei.

When Liu Zhu was arguing with Song Chen, he was accidentally discovered by the superior Liu Bei, so he sent Chen Dao to rescue him.

Song Chen stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "General Uncle Zhi, this is my former friend, can you go up to meet the Lord together?"

Chen Dao frowned and murmured, thinking that there is no reason to bring guests, but Song Chen is from Lantian after all, the lord Aiwu and Wu should not mind, thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Come with me."

Bai Mubing was in charge of the guards of Liu Bei's camp, and the identities of those who could enter and exit had been checked, and Chen Dao was not worried that the head of the village in front of him would threaten Liu Bei's safety.

Chen Dao led the way, Song Chen looked at Liu Zhu and said, "If brother Liu wants to regain his glory, come with me."

Liuzhu indirectly brought 20 people to Yizhou. This is a great contribution wherever he goes, but because of status restrictions, he cannot leave Tuntian District, so even if he has meritorious service, he dare not ask Liu Bei for rewards. This time, he came to the main account to distribute Winter clothes are all a coincidence.

Liu Bei's big tent was full of fierce generals, Liu Zhu originally wanted to take this opportunity to 'confess' to Liu Bei, but unfortunately he was afraid to step forward because of the tiger's might of those generals, especially the heavily armed white carpenter soldiers watching them all the time.

Now with Song Chen leading the way, Liu Zhu's footsteps suddenly became brisk.

Chen Dao brought the two of them to Liu Bei, and Liu Zhu followed Song Chen to salute, not daring to look up.

"Do you know each other? I think they were arguing just now?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Song Chen clasped his fists and bowed: "My lord, this person is Yang Song who led Hanzhong refugees into Shu. Now he has changed his name and surname to follow General Deng to farm in Zitong..."

Liu Bei was a little surprised and asked: "So you are Yang Song, what's your name changed now? Raise your head for Bei to see."

Liu Zhu's heart sank when he heard Liu Bei's tone. It seemed that Yang Song's reputation in the past seemed to be really bad. He slowly raised his head to see Liu Bei's handsome appearance, bowed down and replied: "See you, Liu Zhu, a grassroots man. General..."

Seeing the other party's nervous expression, Liu Bei comforted him with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yang has had a hard time these few years. This time, the collection of Hanzhong was thanks to the villagers who delivered food and supplies. When the war is over, the backup will definitely be rewarded for your merits. Yours I will never forget the credit."

"Liu Zhu, thank you General."

"There is nothing to worry about under my rule. Mr. Yang, you can use your real name back."

Liu Bei saw that the other party kept emphasizing that his name was Liu Zhu, so he quickly reassured the other party, meaning that we don't engage in white terror here, and you don't need to use a pseudonym like Song Chen.

Liuzhu said awkwardly: "Uh... the name Yang Song seems unlucky. After the Caomin entered Shu, they were reborn, so they plan to continue to use Liuzhu in the future, and please general."

Chapter 498 The Land of Life and Death Guiyang Cheap Yin

Yang Song wanted to change his name and surname, and Liu Bei had no reason to stop it. There have been many name and surname changes in history, and this is also Yang Song's freedom.

"Mr. Yang... Liu can do whatever he wants. I'll explain it to Shi Zai later and let him arrange some easy work for you." Liu Bei replied with a smile.

"I heard other villagers call him Chief Liu. A small chief can manage 500 people. I think it should be quite easy..." Song Chen interjected.

"It's the chief of the village." Liu Zhu added anxiously, seeming proud of his words.

Liu Bei is very aware of Deng Ai's division of Tuntian districts. The head of the village in Liuzhukou is in charge of managing five thousand villagers. It is a position that requires a certain ability to be competent, so Liu Bei suddenly has a feeling for this "notorious" person. The feeling of admiration.

"True gold is not afraid of fire, Mr. Liu will work hard." Liu Bei nodded affirmatively.

"Wei." Liu Zhu clasped his fists and saluted.

Liu Bei inquired about the transportation situation, and when he learned that Deng Ai distributed the villagers reasonably without delaying the autumn grain harvest, he thought that he could arrange this child to farm in the war zone in the future.

After Chen Dao sent Liuzhu (Yang Song) away, Liu Bei talked to Song Chen about Zhang Fei's news. The generals in the tent wore winter clothes to protect them from the cold and ate hot food.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Dingjunshan camp has been able to gain a foothold in the hinterland of Hanzhong because of the smooth supply line.

According to the strategy of Pang Tong and Fazheng, they had to defeat Xiahouyuan at Dingjun Mountain, and they could not advance to Nanzheng until they captured Yangping Pass. Even Deng Ai couldn't afford it.

After Xiahouyuan's soldiers arrived, he immediately began to set up a siege. After Liu Bei noticed his intention to set up a siege, he sent troops down the mountain to destroy it, but was stopped by Fazheng.

After the fences such as Juma and antlers were erected, Pang Tong and Fazheng took Liu Bei to the side of the mountain to watch. They only saw a small number of training soldiers in Cao Jun's tent, and the rest of them hid in the tent and did not come out.

"When will the two military advisers defeat Xia Houyuan?" Liu Bei asked.

Pang Tong smiled and said nothing to Fazheng, who raised his beard with a relaxed expression: "I expect it to be broken within ten days."

"Oh? The military commander is so sure? Please test it for your preparation." Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Fazheng nodded and explained: "It is said that the north of the mountain and the south of the river are yin, and the law of war says 'army against Guiyang and despise yin'. Now it is winter, the weather is cloudy and there are few days, and the Mian River is cold and windy in winter, so Cao soldiers can only Huddled in the camp to keep warm, Xia Houyuan's garrison here will undoubtedly die."

"Xiao Zhi, please explain in more detail." Liu Bei urged.

"The sun rises from the east and sets in the west at dusk. Xiahouyuan's camp was blocked by Dingjun Mountain, and most of the warm sunlight could not shine in. Only when the sun was in the sky, there was a little time. Therefore, his camp at the foot of the mountain It's not as warm as our mountain.

Furthermore, if Xia Houyuan wants to raise troops to seize the army mountain, he will feel oppressed when he faces up to the top of Mount Tai. In terms of momentum, they have already fallen into a disadvantage. As long as they use a little trick, they can defeat them, and even behead the head of the enemy chieftain. "Fazheng said meaningfully.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, "Xia Houyuan is Cao Cao's governor who stayed in Hanzhong. If he can beheaded in Dingjun Mountain, Cao's army will be in chaos. In addition, Song Chen brought news from Nanzheng. Cao Hong in Wudu was restrained by Yide. Come for reinforcements, Cao Cao is still waiting and watching in Chang'an, we need to seize this opportunity."

"Shiyuan and I have made a plan to kill Xia Houyuan within ten days." Fazheng's tone was extremely firm.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "I once promised that whoever killed Xiahouyuan would be named General Zhengxi. It is rumored that Xiahouyuan was very brave in fighting. Now the second brother, third brother, and Ma Mengqi are not here. There are only Zilong and Han in the army." Sheng and Wenchang are rivals, I wonder who the two military advisers would like to make such a great contribution?"

"It must be General Huang." Fazheng replied.

Liu Bei thought that he would choose Zhao Yun, so he could be awarded General Zhengxi by making meritorious service, intending to make up for the embarrassing ending of not being promoted because of Zhao Yun's persuasion and anger, but he did not expect Fazheng to identify Huang Zhong.

"Then Xia Houyuan is in his prime. Although the old general Huang is very brave, he is old after all. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous..." Liu Bei frowned.

Pang Tong smiled and comforted him: "The one who breaks Xiahou must be General Huang, but Xiaozhi has a clever plan to help protect it, my lord, please relax."

"But why? Because General Huang killed Xia Houcheng?" Liu Bei guessed.

"My lord, you don't need to guess anymore, just watch a good show with me in the future." Fazheng said mysteriously.

Liu Bei nodded with a puzzled face, and then several people explored along the top of the mountain in the northeast direction, carefully observing the length of Xiahouyuan's south and east circles.

After several days of preparation, Dingjun Mountain finally ushered in the warm sun.

In the afternoon, the soldiers walked out of their tents and lay lazily on the ground to bask in the sun, but the good times didn't last long before the sun went west in two hours, and the northern foot of Dingjun Mountain was shrouded in shadow and cold wind again.

The soldiers on the ground also rushed to the tents trembling, and Cao Ying became panicked and disorderly for a while. The military commander Pang Tong sat above the east encirclement of Zhang Yun on the Dingjun Mountain and gave orders, and Fa Zhengze and Liu Bei commanded above the southern encirclement of Xiahouyuan.

Taking advantage of the chaos in Cao Ying, the Yizhou soldiers lurking in the middle of the mountain followed the flag order and went down the mountain with firewood to set fire to the fence.

Originally, the sentry soldiers in the Cao camp were also changing defenses, so they didn't notice the red command flag on Dingjun Mountain, and only reported the military situation to Xia Houyuan when the fire broke out in the south and east circles.

Xia Houyuan had just basked in the sun for a while, and was about to close his eyes and rest in the big tent, when suddenly Zhao Yong, the governor of Yizhou, broke in and reported: "General Xiahou, the south and east circles are on fire at the same time, and Liu Bei's general Zhao Yun is attacking the east. General Jun Yi couldn't resist sending someone on a flying horse to ask for help."

"Who can this guy stop? He couldn't stop Wei Yan in Ma Ming Pavilion, so I sent Xu Gongming to rescue him. Now how long has it been since the war started and he can't stop Zhao Yun?" Xia Houyuan complained.

"Zhao Yun's bravery is far from comparable to that of Wei Yan. General Zhang is indeed under a lot of pressure." Zhao Yong replied objectively.

Xia Houyuan twitched his beard and said to himself: "Pang Tong and Fazheng love to attack east and west. Before that, they pretended to attack Ma Ming Pavilion Road, but secretly sent troops to occupy Dingjun Mountain. Now they send Zhao Yun to attack Dongwei. Is there a plan?"

Prince Consort Du Xi frowned and said, "Our troops stationed are not as strong as Liu Bei's. If General Zhang's eastern encirclement is captured by Zhao Yun, they will be able to encircle us from the south bank of Mianshui. The [-] troops are likely to be captured by Liu Bei. I hope the general will think twice about encircling and annihilating here."

Du Xi was originally the chief minister of the prime minister's house, and was requisitioned after Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian. After years of polishing, he became Cao Cao's confidant.

Cao Cao let Xia Houyuan take charge of the military power in Hanzhong, and Du Xi took full power to lead the government affairs in Hanzhong. The two were equal in rank, so Xiahouyuan had to consider his opinion.

Chapter 499 Introduce the enemy chieftain as bait

Du Xi suggested to send troops to rescue Zhang He. After thinking for a while, Xia Houyuan thought it was reasonable. He believed that the use of troops was not under Liu Bei. After leaving Nanzheng, Guo Boji (Guo Huai) is still guarding Yangping Pass, and I have to go to Nanwei to fight the fire and repair the antlers, and there seems to be no suitable person in the tent to rescue Zhang Yun..."

"If there are really no generals to send, I would like to personally lead troops to rescue them." Du Xi clasped his fists and said.

"Zixu is a serious task. I will assign half of your troops to rescue Dongwei. Remember that Zhao Yun is brave and cannot fight. If the opponent retreats suddenly, do not pursue him. Be careful not to fall into the tricks of Pang Tong and Fazheng." Xia Houyuan warned.

Du Xi nodded, "I saved it, the general cherishes it."

Xia Houyuan snorted coldly: "In Liu Bei's camp, only Zhao Yun is worthy of a battle. If Huang Zhong and Wei Yan dare to seek death, I will let them go and never return."

"Uh……"

Seeing that Xia Houyuan was so arrogant, Du Xi persuaded him but was afraid of dampening his enthusiasm, so he didn't speak for a long time after getting up.

Seeing this, Zhao Yong comforted: "Zixu can go quickly, General Xiahou and I are also going to Nanwei to fight the fire."

"That's good, you take it seriously." Du Xi walked out of the camp without looking back.

After Du Xi divided half of the troops, Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yong also led the army to Nanwei to fight the fire. Facing Liu Bei's opponent, he was calm on the surface, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He brought out all the remaining ten thousand soldiers.

"Look, my lord, Xia Houyuan is here."

Seeing the handsome flag at the foot of the mountain fluttering in the wind, Fazheng showed a joyful smile.

Liu Bei stood behind the grass on the side of the mountain and leaned over to watch. He saw that there were not a few soldiers and horses brought out by Xia Houyuan, so he frowned and said, "The military master said that he can kill the enemy chieftain, but with so many soldiers and horses guarding him, it is impossible for Xia Houyuan to attack him." Order?"

Fazheng pointed to the south direction and said, "I have ordered General Huang to lie in ambush at the foot of the mountain, and I will send someone to lead Xiahouyuan over in a while. The old general's unparalleled arrow skills will surely kill him easily. Xiahou and his son also died under the arrow. Fate, as long as Xia Houyuan dies, the Cao army will be in chaos, and the Cao soldiers in front of my lord will become lambs to be slaughtered, and finally lead troops eastward to besiege Zhang He."

"Xia Houyuan couldn't shrink back at Yangping Pass. Now that the two armies are facing each other, he must know that there is an ambush. What strategy can the military master have to lure him out?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"My lord, watch patiently, and the answer will be revealed soon."

Fazheng shook his head with a smile, and then directed the soldiers to wave the red flag. Immediately after the sound of drums and thunder at the foot of the mountain, a group of men and horses in the forest went straight to Xiahouyuan.

Liu Bei looked at the character Liu on the banner, and there were very few military generals with the surname Liu under his tent, so he frowned and asked curiously, "Who is this? Could it be Feng'er?"

"My lord's guess is correct, it is Mr. Feng." Fazheng replied calmly.

"Although Feng'er is somewhat brave, how can he defeat Xia Houyuan? If he is unprepared, he can't rest assured."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he frowned, thinking that Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan both had dead sons, how could they throw my adopted son out to attract them?If you miss and get caught, you will be too passive.

Fazheng saw Liu Bei's worry, and explained, "My lord, don't worry, Mr. Feng's horse and armor are very good. You just need to lead Xiahouyuan into the ambush circle."

"Couldn't it be possible to get another general to lead?" Liu Bei asked speechlessly.

"My lord, without the status of Mr. Feng, it is impossible for Xia Houyuan to fall into the trap. He is a deadly bait. It is the safest way to ensure that Xiahou is killed here. Only if you give up, you will gain." Fa Zheng sigh.

Liu Bei understood Fazheng's strategy, Liu Feng had already led the horse out, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, so he could only focus on Liu Feng's position.

Fazheng was waving the red flag on the mountain when he was discovered by Xiahouyuan's sentries. Immediately the army repairing the antlers stood in line, and after a while, a young general was found shooting and killed.

Before Xia Houyuan asked his name, his eyes were already looking fierce, because Liu Feng was wearing the Mingguang Armor that his son Xia Hou called him.

Seeing Xia Houyuan's agitation, Zhao Yong quickly advised him: "This man is wearing the armor of a major general. He must have some kind of plot. General, be careful not to fall into the trap."

"I will know." Xia Houyuan glared at Zhao Yong.

Liu Feng reined in the horse a few feet away from the antlers. He pointed a gun at Xia Houyuan and cursed: "Xiahou, do you dare to go out to fight?"

"Little thief, do you dare to wear my son's cloak? This Mingguang Armor was given by the King of Wei. How can the fate of ordinary people bear it? You still don't know how to fight in front of me..." Xia Houyuan's tone was cold, as if Talk to a dead man.
