Chapter 123
Making a decision
"My son, what did the county captain do after he arrived at the county town?"
On the watchtower of Liyangwu Fort, with the river breeze blowing, Li Chong looked at his son Li Yu.
"Father, I think the reminder that day had some effect on the county captain. If he wants to regard our Liyangwu Fort as the second Bawangwu, then he has made a mistake. Now that Zhao Yue is in the county,
There was no big move.”
Li Chong frowned slightly. He was in his prime. In his early years, he was a blacksmith shop owner, so he was very strong. Of course, it was not just his physical strength. He entangled the villagers and spontaneously resisted the bandits. He often fought one against ten, so he could
The identity of a mere blacksmith shop owner has reached the level of the owner of Liyangwu.
"There are no big moves, what about the small moves?"
Although Li Chong looks unkempt, his heart is not rough.
"First we entered the governor's mansion for a few hours, and then we left the city and went to Gongsun Xiu's camp."
Li Chong nodded lightly.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on Zhao Yue, no matter how detailed it is. Even if he goes to pick up a girl, he still has to report to me."
"Father, you don't have to be like this? Then why does Zhao Yue have to be so careful about his father? It's the smiling tiger Gongsun Xiu who should be more careful."
"Don't underestimate the world's heroes!"
Li Chong glared at Li Chong and said: "A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix. A mouse's son can dig holes. Who is General Dang Kou? How can his son be a common man? Besides, what happened to Bawangwu, haven't you?"
See, if this person is really like Yu Yi, why did Kang Xiu end up like this? Don't make the same mistake again."
Li Yu was stunned by Li Chong's glare and did not dare to talk back to Li Chong anymore.
"My child will keep an eye on Zhao Yue. If there is any trouble, he will immediately report it to his father."
"Um."
Li Chong nodded, but still sighed slightly in his heart.
The river breeze is strong, and Xiaohuangzhou is located on the river. From the watchtower, you can see the outline of the county town on the other side.
He frowned even more as he thought about Su Jun's letter on his sleeve.
Between the Marquis of Su and the Jiankang court, whose treasure should I suppress?
Ten miles outside the county town, there is a small hill. A stream flows under the hill, but the trees beside the stream have long been cut down and turned into wooden walls and arrow towers for the camp on the hill.
Zhao Yue led his troops and slowly walked towards the village gate.
At this moment, the village gate was wide open, and Gongsun Xiu, who was wearing armor, was already waiting aside.
"Meet the Commander-in-Chief."
Gongsun Xiu bowed his hands to Zhao Yue, his tone could not be said to be respectful, but he was not contemptuous either.
"The sooner I heard General Gongsun's name, now I see him, he is indeed an extraordinary warrior and full of murderous intent!"
Gongsun Xiu's face was frosty, but he still managed to put on a smile.
"The last general does not deserve such praise."
Before Zhao Yue could continue to speak, Gongsun Xiu answered.
"Young Marshal, there is no need to say useless polite words to me. I am loyal to the Marshal, and naturally I am loyal to the Zhao family."
You didn’t say you were loyal to me!
Zhao Yue jumped off his horse and said, "Let's enter the camp first."
Since ancient times, capable people have their own pride.
Li Xia is one of the people under his cheap father, and Gongsun Xiu is naturally another one.
If you want to get his approval, you have to be capable.
And Zhao Yue paid his own way and was not afraid of this kind of challenge.
Entering the camp, the structure inside is very simple, but very strong.
The wall is high and thick, and there are many defensive tools in it, all made of trees outside. The granary, barracks, stables, main tent, and school grounds are all clearly distinguished.
Gongsun Xiu was a cavalry commander, so he had cavalry in his hands.
The cavalry in the camp are not all Han Chinese. There are Xianbei people with red beards and blue eyes. The Xianbei people have broad cheekbones and well-developed temporal lines...the eyebrow arch, mastoid process and external occipital protuberance are all relatively developed, giving people a rough and majestic look.
, a sense of toughness.
Moreover, looking at the sword scars on their naked bodies and the murderous aura boiling all over their bodies, they were obviously good warriors on the battlefield.
There are Di people with prominent foreheads, high noses, many double eyelids, light yellow eyes, and well-defined faces. Huns have high cheekbones.
It is said to be a Han military camp, but the generals under Gongsun Xiu's command are mainly nomadic people.
"Young Commander, please don't disturb me. Although they are foreigners, they are loyal to the Commander-in-Chief, and they are even better men on the battlefield!"
"General Gongsun's soldiers are all brave and brave. No wonder they can often surprise the enemy and retreat unscathed."
"Hahaha."
After entering the camp, the frost on Gongsun Xiu's face also dissipated a lot.
"They are all just false names. The war in Huainan was temporarily suspended, and I had time to come here to Liyang. Before I came, the commander told me that in everything, the young commander will be the main one, and the three thousand people under the general's command will be taken care of. As long as they are not
Attack the city and I can sweep Liyang's soldiers out in the field."
With these words, Gongsun Xiu was very confident in the strength of his soldiers.
"With General Gongsun's words, that's enough."
Walking into the main tent, Gongsun Xiu made an invitation gesture to Zhao Yue.
"Young Marshal, please take your seat."
Zhao Yue did not refuse. For him, Zhao Xun's power would belong to him sooner or later.
Gongsun Xiu stood in front of Zhao Yue on the left, turned to the various generals in the camp and said, "Why don't you pay your respects to the young commander soon?"
"Meet the Young Marshal."
Everyone looked at each other with their eyes, noses, noses and hearts. After looking at each other, they bowed to Zhao Yue.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the young commander."
"General Gongsun doesn't have to be like this."
Zhao Yue waved his hand and everyone sat down, and said to Gongsun Xiu: "I have interacted with those who joined the army. Most of the people in the army are straightforward. As you said outside the camp, I don't have to say those polite words to you, and naturally, you don't have to either.
Just treat me with these polite words."
Gongsun Xiu looked directly at Zhao Yue and nodded.
"good."
Gongsun Xiu knelt down and sat down.
"Today you have met the young marshal. In the army, the young marshal's orders are my orders. You understand."
"My knowledge!"
"Young Marshal, do you want to give me a lesson?"
Do you think I am Chang Kaishen?
Zhao Yue shook his head gently.
"Then you go and practice first. There will be a big battle soon. Keep your horses fat and take good care of the swords, guns, swords and halberds in your hands. Don't lose your life if they become inoperable on the battlefield."
"promise!"
Everyone retreated one by one, and in an instant only Zhao Yue and Gongsun Xiu were left in the main tent.
"I wonder how General Gongsun thinks the situation in Liyang should be resolved?"
Gongsun Xiu frowned and said: "I am a war general and I know how to kill on the battlefield. But in this situation, if I have the ability in this regard, the commander will let me make my own decision."
"General Gongsun is humble."
Zhao Yue smiled and did not talk nonsense to Gongsun Xiu.
"In Liyang County, the Bawangwu incident can be regarded as a warning to the monkeys. Among the five major forts, except Liyang Wubao, the others are not worth mentioning."
Zhao Yue glanced at Gongsun Xiu and continued: "Xiaohuangzhou is on the river. We don't have enough boats to attack it. If we want to plan Liyangwu Fort, we have to lure Li Chong out."
Without beating Li Chong painfully, Zhao Yue understood that Li Yang would be impossible to control.
As for whether Li Chong will fall to Su Jun?
at least
Su Jun is now in Huaiyin and has not yet arrived in Liyang. If Li Chong was not stupid, even if he wanted to turn to Su Jun, he would not dare to change his tune so quickly.
Move quickly and have flexible wrists!
Zhao Yue wants to control Li Yang before Su Jun reacts!
