I would say, is Lan Wuchang the Ao Factory Man?
Teasing me, hum...
I was injured, tears were everywhere, pouted, clenched my fists, and rolled around on the ground to ask for monthly tickets!
At noon, it started to rain.
The rain after autumn is quite chilling, and it feels very cold when it falls on people.
Taishici was completely awake, sat by the bonfire with a lonely expression, broke a dry firewood as thick as an arm, and threw it into the bonfire.
A crushing defeat made him feel depressed.
Perhaps as Bu Zhi said, it is difficult to achieve success if you stay in Jiangdong.
Liu Yao was known as the governor of Yangzhou, but he could not control the situation. There were more incompetent people around him, so how could he stop Sun Ce from the tiger and wolf army?
Could it be that if you really want to surrender to Sun Ce? Just as Bu Zhi said, be a slave in the family surnamed Sun?
How could Taishi Ci, who was arrogant and arrogant, accept this?
"Drink some water."
Liu Chuang held a bowl of water and handed it to Taishi Ci.
Taishici raised his head, looked at Liu Chuang, and took it and drank it all.
"General Ziyi, what are your plans?"
Liu Chuang handed him another piece of dry food, took a piece of dried meat weighing half a pound and took a bite, "Do you still have to go back to Yuzhang?"
"Is it useful to go back to Yuzhang?"
Taishi Ci didn't know the taste. She took a bite of dry food, her eyes were full of confusion.
Liu Chuang smiled, "Liu Yaozao is famous and has a good reputation and favors criticism. However, in the chaotic times, he was a vassal of thousands of miles and abolished the director. Sun Ce was a man of his three generations, and had Zhou Lang as his help, and he was able to achieve the right time, place and people. It was almost impossible for Liu Envoy to defeat Sun Ce."
Taishici, silent!
He also didn't know this truth, but he couldn't make up his mind after all.
"Then Mr. Liu thought, how should I choose?"
"Actually, Zishan has said that if the general wants to follow Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he needs to go north. Besides, the general was originally a northerner, good at fighting horses and unparalleled cavalry. If he stayed in Jiangdong, there would be no place where the general could display his talents. If he went north, there would be nothing more than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao was resourceful and unrestrained, arrogant and arrogant, and was not the choice of a wise ruler.
However, Cao Cao, who was in charge of the emperor to command the princes, had achieved great momentum. Although it was worse than Yuan Shao, he was a broad man! I once heard from people that when he was commented on the Yuedan period, Xu Shao once commented with Cao Cao: A capable minister who governs the world and a hero who is in troubled times can accomplish great things."
Taishi Cidan closed his phoenix eyes slightly and said softly: "So, should I join Cao Cao?"
"Haha, that's right... General Ziyi has to make a decision on his own."
Taishi Ci took a deep breath, looked at Liu Chuang, and suddenly smiled, "But I don't know what are the plans for Meng Yan to return to Yingchuan?"
“I haven’t made any arrangements for this yet.
After returning home, I need to return to my hometown and rebuild my ancestral home... I think that my family had a change back then, and the mansion was already deserted and needed to be repaired. In addition, I also need to visit my father's friend back then, so that he can gain a foothold in my hometown as soon as possible. As for the future, it is not known yet."
Taishi Cidan's phoenix eyes narrowed into a slit, "Don't the young master want to defect to Cao Cao?"
Liu Chuang smiled, "As for the current situation, I may not be able to serve Cao Gong for the time being."
"I see!"
Taishici suddenly stood up and stretched.
He looked at the rain outside the shed and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to set off."
Departure?
Liu Chuang said in surprise: "Where to go?"
"Wuhu."
Liu Chuang was puzzled, and Liu Yong, Bu Zhi and others seemed extremely confused.
"There are hundreds of strong soldiers in Wuhu, and I should take them... I have decided to go north and join Cao Cao. But alone, it is rare for Cao Cao to value it. Previously, Fan Neng defeated Niuzhu and retreated to Wuhu, and survived. Although Fan Neng was incompetent, there were still hundreds of strong soldiers in Danyang under his command. How could I abandon them easily? When I go to Wuhu and take those troops away, I can still make my voice stronger for this time."
Liu Chuang nodded, but didn't think too much.
However, a strange look flashed in Bu Zhi's eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up, outlining a strange smile.
The rain was not heavy, so everyone was moving quickly.
Taishi Ci replaced Zhang Ying's lion test, crossed the bow and held a gun, and took the lead.
More than ten people ran wildly in the rain for half a day, and when it was almost dark, they arrived outside Wuhu City.
Originally, Liu Chuang wanted to enter the city with Taishi Ci. However, Taishi Ci refused very simply and only took Xiao Ling and five personal soldiers to Wuhu.
"Ziyi, what does this mean?"
Liu Chuang was puzzled and asked as he looked at Bu Zhi.
Bu Zhi jumped off the horse, found a dry place to sit down, took out dry food and drinking water from his arms, and smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry, the Grand Historian Ziyi wants to take this opportunity to show his courage to the young master. He hopes that the young master can see what his ability is."
“Show me?”
Liu Chuang also got off the horse and asked Zhang Cheng and the other two to be responsible for the alert.
Then he and Liu Yong sat down, took a piece of dry food from Bu Zhi, took a bite and said, "Oh, what should I show you?"
"Didn't the young master realize that Ziyi is willing to surrender?"
"Subordinate to me?" Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "I have no territory and no name. How could Ziyi join me?"
Bu Zhi let out a long sigh, "I have to admire the wonderful vision of the young master.
Originally, I thought Taishi Ci was just a reckless man, but now it seems that he is both wise and brave. I want to trick him into going north and then take the opportunity to let him join the young master. I think Taishi Ci also saw my plan, so I asked you in the straw hut before, what are your plans in the future.
If the young master said at that time, he wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, he would be afraid that Ziyi would not be moved.
Although the young master has not expressed his plans, his ambition has been revealed in his words... Young master, don't laugh, you are a descendant of the Marquis of Zhongling and a royal relative. These two identities are enough to make many people fall in love with you. Ziyi's current situation is that he may not be able to reuse him if he defects to Cao Cao. As long as the young master is in one day, Cao Cao will be afraid of him. Liu Yao is obviously not a person who accomplishes great things, so he finally chose you."
"This is so silly."
"Maybe the children's play is also a fact...
Unless Ziyi is willing to stay in Jiangdong and be the "Sun slave" you and me calls me. But judging from Ziyi's temperament, he may not be willing to gain this reputation. The most important thing is that he is a northerner. Staying in Jiangdong is always an outsider to him... Although a real man is only in all directions, if Jiangdong cannot tolerate him, it will be meaningless to stay here. It is better to follow the young master and fight for a future of fame and fortune."
"He is betting!"
"Aren't the young master also betting?"
Gambling is human nature.
Including Liu Chuang, this time returning to Yingchuan was a gambling.
In fact, he was gambling all the way... Xuezhou, Lu Dai, Bu Zhi, and even Taishi Ci now, every decision he made was a gambling. Taishi Ci betting this time was reasonable. How did he surrender to Sun Ce in history? Liu Chuang can't remember it very clearly. But I vaguely remember that Taishi Ci died very early, as if it was a matter of more than ten years since Jian'an.
In other words, he passed away after surrendering to Sun Ce for more than ten years.
According to his age, he died in his forties... But with Tai Shi Ci's martial arts in the realm of refining the spirit, he died in his forties, which is a bit bizarre. Among them, there is a reason for the depression in his heart. He is in Jiangdong, and it is difficult to return to his hometown in this life. He has to meet the wise master. Unfortunately, Sun Ce was killed soon after. Once the emperor is the emperor and the ministers are the same, how could Tai Shi Ci not feel depressed?
I think he had already thought of returning home at this time...
When Liu Chuang thought of this, he understood a lot.
At the same time, he is secretly alert: people often say that happiness and anger are not reflected in their appearance, and it seems that his skills are still not yet available.
Even Taishici could see his ambitions. If he met Cao Cao in the future, how could he hide it?
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang was so excited that he was sweating in a cold sweat...
It is coming dawn and the Wuhu city gate is open.
Taishici led 600 Danyang soldiers to drive out of Wuhu County.
Fan Neng is also Liu Yao's beloved general. For this reason, he lost Niuzhutun but was not punished. Instead, he lived a happy life in Wuhu. The news of Zhang Ying's defeat in Shentingling has not yet come, so Fan Neng didn't know that Zhang Ying had been killed.
Taishici rode a lion to test, placing Zhang Ying's order to ask Fan Neng for help.
Fan Neng had no doubts, so he held a banquet in the city.
Unexpectedly, Taishi Ci suddenly took action at the banquet, and worked with Ling Xiao and the others to kill Fan Neng and twelve others, and to control Wuhu in his hands.
He selected 600 Danyang soldiers from Wuhu soldiers.
Then he opened the Wuhu Ku Mansion and distributed the gold, silver, grain and grass inside, which made Wuhu suddenly in chaos.
He took advantage of the chaos to lead his troops out of the city and met with Liu Chuang.
Taishici was downplaying the story of seizing the city, as if effortless. But Liu Chuang knew that the scene must be very dangerous.
Two people vs twelve people...
It’s really a blessing for Taishi Ci to be brave.
What surprised him even more was Xiao Ling.
It seems that he and Taishici cooperated with each other, and they really complement each other.
"Although I only had six hundred people, they could each take ten, and I wanted to be the one who deserved the wishes of the young master."
Taishici looked respectfully and looked at Liu Chuang.
This is called a letter of fame. I use this Liu Bei Danyang warrior as a congratulatory gift. I wonder if it can catch your Liu Mengyan's eye?
Why couldn't Liu Chuang hear what Taishici meant, and couldn't help laughing, and grabbed Taishici's arm, "With Ziyi helping me, how can I shine on my family?"
This sentence is also very obscure, but smart people can hear the meaning of Liu Chuang's words.
A bright smile appeared on Taishici's face.
He whispered: "From now on, I will serve the best work for the young master."
The two joined hands and burst into laughter again.
Liu Chuang suddenly had a greater confidence... If he had hesitated about returning to Yingchuan before this, then now he had a strong belief. Yes, Cao Cao was the emperor to command the princes, but I might not lose to you. I am a royal relative after all, even if my father is dead, the reputation of Zhongling Marquis should not be humiliated easily. Look, am I also a strong soldier now?
"In this way, we set off immediately and strive to cross the river and head to Liyang before dark tomorrow."
This period was the most chaotic period in Jiangdong.
Yuan Shu lived in Huainan, but his eyes were always staring at Runan and Xuzhou; Sun Ce crossed the river and swept Danyang, and the war was quite intense... As for Liu Yao, he was only known as the governor of Yangzhou, but now he only had a county in Yuzhang. Wang Lang of Kuaiji and Lujiang and Lu Kang of Lujiang were in charge of their own affairs, and no one could command the other. In this way, how can the whole Jiangdong not be in chaos? Fortunately, Liu Chuang and others left in time. If they were two days later, after Zhou Yu arrived in Danyang, it would probably not be so simple to cross the river. In fact, when Zhou Yu heard that Taishi Ci took Wuhu with his horse, he was also very surprised... He had a vague premonition that Taishi Ci would go north and follow Liu Chuang.
Sun Ce didn't care about Liu Chuang, but it didn't mean that Zhou Yu would despise him.
Even though his father Zhou Yi was taught by Liu Tao back then, he was the master of his own, and Zhou Yu still had the intention of killing Liu Chuang.
However, when he was about to take action, Liu Chuang and his group had already crossed the river from Niuzhutun to the west.
Even though Zhou Yu was full of regret, he had to put Liu Chuang aside for the time being... because the situation in Danyang must be stable as soon as possible.
In the Jiangdong area, there are many powerful people and many gentry.
It also has the chaos of Shanyue, so it has never been very peaceful.
When the world is in great governance, these forces may be more honest. But when encountering troubled times, all forces take action, making the situation even worse.
The first thing Zhou Yu has to face is the local tyrants who are independent and the eager to move mountain crossings.
"Meng Yan!"
Accompanied by a surprise shout, the pearls carried the elk and came to Liu Chuang.
The Elephant Dragon and the Pearl have been separated for a long time, so after meeting, the two horses seemed extremely intimate, rubbing their necks, as if they were not a lover. Liu Chuang had a smile on his face and looked at Mi Feng speechlessly. After he crossed the river and entered Jiujiang, he immediately sent someone to contact Guan Hai and others.
Guan Hai has already met with Mi Feng and others, and he will send scouts to inquire about the news outside the city every day.
When he heard that Liu Chuang and others arrived, Mi Feng could no longer resist the pain of longing and rode on the pearly wind to meet Liu Chuang.
"Ziyi, what's wrong with you?"
Taishi Ci took a deep breath, and his face showed envy.
"Seeing the young master like this, I suddenly remembered the old mother and wife and children at home.
I have been crossing the river to join Liu Jun for two years. When I left home, my son was ten years old. I wonder if I can still deny me now? I think I feel a little guilty when I think about it. I have been married for thirty-five years, twenty-four years old (two years old) but I have been with my son, wife and children for only two years.
Liu, after returning to Yingchuan this time, I am going to bring my wife, children and mother.
My son is just the age to learn martial arts and Ao Li. He will bring him to his side and train him... By the way, Liu, I will ask you for advice at that time, and I will give you some more attention."
Along the way, Taishici and Liu Yong got along well.
Both of them have reached the realm of refining the gods, so when they talk, they also have many common languages.
Liu Yong is not a talkative person, but if someone talks about martial arts with him, he will be very excited and talk endlessly. Before, the reason why he was silent was because no one could talk to him. Whether it was Liu Chuang or Guan Hai, the martial arts of Liu Yong were far different.
Now that he has a Taishi Ci, Liu Yong is much more cheerful.
He smiled slightly, "Ruo Ziyi doesn't think that I am inferior in my ability, so I should obey my orders."
Taishi Ci was overjoyed because he knew Liu Yong's martial arts very well. Compared with Taishi Ci, such a person is not inferior to that, which is of great benefit to his children.
After everyone met, they still felt a little embarrassed.
This embarrassment mainly comes from Taishi Ci and Guan Hai...
Back then, Guan Hai led his troops to besiege Beihai, and Taishi Ci broke through the siege in the name of Kong Rong.
So neither of them was very strange, so when they met, they seemed a little embarrassed. Taishi Ci was better. After all, Liu Chuang had already explained Guan Hai's affairs to him on the road. But Guan Hai didn't know that Taishi Ci would come, so he was at a loss.
However, it was all years ago.
Guan Hai was commanding thousands of troops at the time, but now he is alone.
Taishi Ci's situation was not much better than that. He originally thought that he could make a name for himself when he defected to Liu Yao, but in the end, he only became a military Sima in three years, which was too embarrassing. When the two met, they couldn't help but sigh. Looking back on the past, they couldn't help laughing loudly.
All hostility and dissatisfaction also disappeared in the laughter.
Taishici knew that Guan Hai and Liu Chuang had a very close relationship.
In the future, he would also have to do things around Liu Chuang, so why bother to worry about it? Besides, Guan Hai did not cause much harm to him at the beginning.
Seeing that the two turned their enemies into friends, Liu Chuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two teams merged together, Liu Chuang was surprised to find that before he knew it, there were more than a thousand people under his command.
Xuezhou sponsored him by 200 people, and more than 100 prisoners were captured on the way.
After crossing the river, he bought three hundred Danyang surrendered soldiers in Qu'a, and this time Taishi Ci brought 600 Danyang soldiers from Wuhu... There were more than 1,200 people under Liu Chuang's command.
So, Liu Chuang ordered a day off in a small town west of Liyang.
Then he discussed with Guan Hai, Taishici and others and decided to divide the troops into two parts and two songs.
There were 900 soldiers in Danyang, and Taishi Ci and Guan Hai each led 400 people, which were two troops.
There were more than 100 cavalrymen, plus one hundred Danyang infantrymen, and they were commanded by Liu Chuang himself.
The remaining more than 200 people were turned into baggage troops and handed over to Huang Shao. Lu Dai and Bu Zhi temporarily took the order to join the army, and the rest were appointed. After a day of rest, morale changed accordingly. More than 20 baggage trucks, carrying a large amount of gold, silver, jade and food, drove from the town in a mighty manner and headed westward.
With such a soldier, Liu Chuang finally calmed down.
The situation in Jiujiang County was almost the same as Danyang. Yuan Shu focused on Runan and Xuzhou, so he didn't care too much about the troops that had always appeared in his rear. Although some bandits tried to block the road along the way, they were easily solved by Taishi Ci and others.
So, along the way, I was relaxed and comfortable.
Since Liu Chuang met with the team, he handed over the troops to Taishi Ci, Guan Hai and others to take care of.
He now has Bu Zhi and Lu Dai around him, so he can feel much more relaxed, so he has plenty of time to ask Liu Yong for advice, and at the same time digest the gains of fighting with Sun Ce at the Shenting Ridge that day. When he fought with Sun Ce, Liu Yong gained a lot and had touched the path to refining the gods.
In Liu Yong's words, he still has a chance.
But Liu Chuang didn't know when this opportunity would come.
Since Liu Chuang came back, Mi Feng abandoned the carriage and rode on horses. She handed over the carriage to Mrs. Gan, and most of the time, she followed Liu Chuang on a pearl.
Just like that, a month passed in a flash.
After a month of flying around the clock, everyone arrived at the upper reaches of the water, and the Taotaohuai River was in front of them.
July is the time when the Huai River flows the most rapidly. Liu Chuang and others couldn't help feeling embarrassed when they looked at the Taotao Huai River.
After passing the Huai River, even if you enter Runan.
But the water flows so fast that it would be a problem if it was not transported by a ferry.
But where should I find a boat to cross the river?
Just when Liu Chuang was having a headache, Huang Shao came to him, "Young Master, don't worry. Twenty miles westward, there is a small county called Maqiu, with a population of only three or five thousand people, and the garrison was extremely relaxed. Outside Maqiu City, there is a ferry with dozens of ships moored.
Chapter completed!
