Ju Hu knew very well what Liu Zhi was thinking, because Ju Hu himself had had such an experience.
"When Mr. Yuan was in charge of Jizhou, the people of Jizhou were still alive. Now that Mr. Cao is visiting Jizhou, where can the people of Jizhou go?" Ju Hu said in a deep voice, "Gong Yuan was the fourth and the third prince. Where is Mr. Cao? He has been mobilized four times in three years! Jizhou
How painful is it?!』
Liu Zhi remained silent.
Are ordinary people in Jizhou suffering?
In fact, it has always been very bitter, but the nobles in Jizhou were not. They were originally very happy, but unexpectedly after Cao Cao came, the Yuzhou people suppressed the Jizhou people intentionally or unintentionally, which really made the Jizhou people feel very uncomfortable.
"Homeland, what is homeland?" Juhu said, "The purpose of Hushiqi's arrival is not to massacre Jizhou. However, Cao Gong refused, and the lives of Jizhou were all wasted. What's more, Hushiqi's employees never pay attention to their origins.
It is only based on talent. If you can help the Hussars to pacify Jizhou, this achievement will be enough to uplift the lintel and regain glory. It can also save Jizhou from the suffering of swordsmen, save tens of millions of people, and revitalize the Han Dynasty. It can be said to be both loyalty and righteousness."
Liu Zhi did not reply on the spot, but thought about it all night, still a little hesitant.
Liu Zhi had some idea of who General Fei Qian was.
If Fei Qian could only be regarded as a local prince in a corner before, he is now qualified to aspire to the Central Plains. The most critical point is, of course, that Fei Qian cannot successfully control the Central Plains, otherwise he will be like Yuan Shao back then, with a glorious personality.
Three to five years...
Ju Hu’s words sound nice, but isn’t it actually the same for Ju’s family?
When Ju Shou was under Yuan Shao's command, how prosperous was the Ju family?
If Fei Qian can stand firm in the Central Plains, it makes sense to invest in Hussar. If Fei Qian just wants to weaken Cao Cao's strength and run away after a fight, then he will definitely be implicated in the follow-up after he invests, so he has been unable to do so.
determination.
Juhu didn't have time to wait.
He came to see Liu Zhi just because Liu Zhi seemed to him the most likely. He didn't necessarily ask Liu Zhi to do anything.
So on the next day, Juhu simply found Liu Zhi. He stopped talking about the world situation and other exciting things, and just said that Cao Jun had not done anything good in the past few years. This time, the Youzhou army probably did not do anything good.
If you can't stop the Hussars, will Cao Cao care about you as a defender, or will he go all out to protect Yuzhou?
If Liu Zhi doesn't make a choice now, can Youzhou be saved? If Youzhou can't be saved, the Hussar Northern Territory Army will soon attack Jizhou. Are the passes here of Liu Zhi still that important? By then, your soldiers will
, how many people will follow you and stay here? If you don't make a decision quickly now, then just wait here to die.
Liu Zhi was not angry because of Ju Hu's words, but asked Ju Hu if the Qiaoqi really wanted to capture Jizhou?
Juhu did not answer directly, but asked Liu Zhi, if Qiaoqi did not have this intention, then why did he send the Northern Territory Army to attack Youzhou? Now even if Cao Cao wants to defend Jizhou, can he hold it? Once Youzhou is lost,
Jizhou no longer has a northern barrier!
Not only that, but what did Cao Jun gain from his massive attack on Guanzhong?
Not to mention the consumption of food and fodder, even Xiahou Dun was captured by the Hussars...
"Xia Houyuanrang was also arrested?" Liu Zhi's eyes widened, "Didn't you refute the rumors before?"
Juhu sneered.
Liu Zhi was silent for a while and then said, "If Qiao rides into Jizhou, I..."
Juhu said very rudely: "Under the hussar, a capable warrior is like a crucian carp crossing a river! And the system of hussar places special emphasis on military merit! If...hehe, if you want to gain meritorious service, you really have to go to the battlefield."
It’s time to fight for your life!』
Liu Zhi took a breath of cold air.
People are like this. When you have something, you don’t feel it’s worth anything, but when you lose it, you feel regretful.
Liu Zhi was finally persuaded by Ju Hu and was willing to surrender.
…
…
When Gongsun Zan built Yijing, he wanted to unify the country, but it was just a fragment of his dream on the castle tower.
Now, Yi Jing lives up to its name, having changed its owner twice, and the third defender is about to face the same fate as the previous two...
The general stationed at Yi Jing is Lou Yi.
Lou Yi followed Cao Cao very early, and his body is already marked by Cao Cao. There is no problem with his loyalty, but his personal ability is average, so he can only serve as a second-line guard and cannot command the first-line troops alone.
Conduct the main battle.
But things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Yi Jing would now become the center of contention, with turbulent undercurrents surging!
When he heard that Youzhou was under attack, Lou Yi was also anxious, but it was useless for him to be anxious himself.
He could only pray, set up sentries everywhere, and repeatedly sent requests for help to Jizhou...
However, Lou Yi never expected that the reinforcements from Jizhou did not come, but the "rebels" from Jizhou did.
At the end of the You period and the beginning of the Xu period, there were clouds and dark sun.
The setting sun barely managed to pass through the dark clouds and cast its rays on this piece of land. After saying that it had done its best, Shi Shiran called it a day and went back to the mountain to rest.
There is still tomorrow anyway.
It's too late today, try your best tomorrow.
Like many sneak attacks, Wei Yan still likes to be on the front line.
He is now half squatting and half kneeling in the wild grass, holding a telescope and looking at the sentries in Yi Jing in the distance.
There are quite a few sentries outside Yijing!
Youzhou is in chaos, and there are only a few pedestrians. It is not suitable for such a large group of people to leave...
But it's not impossible.
Wei Yan's eyes were calm and his expression was calm, as if this sneak attack was just an ordinary outing or ordinary training.
The soldiers following Wei Yan were also waiting quietly and patiently for orders.
The weeds were only knee-high, so most of the soldiers had to squat or crawl like Wei Yan to hide themselves.
Maintaining this posture will obviously not make people feel comfortable.
Therefore, many soldiers will subconsciously find something fun to kill the boredom of waiting time.
The old horse head behind Wei Yan was catching an insect from near the grass root, and then stuffed the insect into an ant's hole. He watched the ant climb up the insect bit by bit, and then desperately tried to drag the insect into the hole.
Inside, because the hole is too small and the bug is too big, it is stuck there...
Suddenly, I heard some rapid chirping of birds in the distance.
Lao Ma Tou immediately lowered his body, turned around and saw that the people around him, including Wei Yan, were also lying low in the grass.
The wind blew through the wild grass, making a rustling sound.
In the direction of the main road away from Yi Jing, two riders came. When they reached the crooked neck tree on the grass hill, they stopped in confusion, looking left and right, as if they were looking for something...
Wei Yan made a low-pitched sound like an insect. The old horse understood and climbed out of the grass. Then he stood up on the roadside and said hello.
Only then did the two riders realize that there was someone standing behind them, and they were startled. However, they also knew that it was the person they were waiting for, so they quickly asked a few questions, got the code, and brought the person they had brought with them.
The bamboo tube was handed to the old horse, and then he immediately hit the horse and whirled away, as if he was avoiding something, or was afraid of something.
Lao Ma stood still until he heard a few more melodious bird songs, then he came back and handed the bamboo tube he got to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan checked the fire paint on the bamboo tube and smiled when he saw the brand on the fire paint.
Wei Yan was very familiar with this brand, it was the mark of the Ju family.
After taking apart the fire paint, inside the bamboo tube was a "complete", "normative" and "standard" Cao Jun's command text!
In this Cao Jun writing, Wei Yan's "identity" is clearly stated!
With such a piece of Cao Jun's writing, Wei Yan now has a new identity.
"Hey, this thing..." Lao Ma Tou said from the side, "I don't know how it was done..."
Wei Yan laughed, then turned around and said, "Gao, come here!"
…
…
Gao Rou didn't know whether she should feel lucky or unfortunate.
Ever since he was captured by Wei Yan, he followed Wei Yan all the way around. His mood was like that of a small sampan in the stormy sea, enjoying going up and down. However, after a long time, Gao Rou gradually became confused. He is now
Which party should be considered?
Cao Jun’s?
But if Cao Cao really knew what he had done, he would still be able to die ten times...
So he's considered a hussar?
But I don’t even have a serious status in the Hussars...
Thinking of this, Gao Rou couldn't help but ask Wei Yan with a shy face, "General, I... what is my status now?"
Wei Yan walked behind Gao Rou and smiled when he saw Gao Rou asking, "What else is your identity? Isn't it written in this line... Captain! County Captain!"
"No, no, no," Gao Rou curled her lips, "I'm not asking that, I'm saying, how can I be considered as a member of the Hussar now... There is hard work without merit, so can I be considered a member of the Hussar now?"
It's time for the hussar to come, me, me..."
Wei Yan patted Gao Rou on the shoulder and said, "Does this need to be said? Are you afraid that someone will take your credit? You are too underestimating someone!"
Gao Rou repeatedly said she didn't dare.
Wei Yan patted it again, "We're almost there! There's a sentry in front, show your style!"
Gao Rou responded, then turned her head, coughed twice, raised her head slightly, exposed her nostrils, and walked forward.
It was already the beginning of Haishi, and a crescent moon in the night sky was hidden behind dark clouds. The cool moonlight peeked out from the edge of the clouds from time to time, illuminating a small piece of blue-white sky.
The earth was completely dark, and except for the firelight at the Yijing Pass, there were dark and hazy shadows everywhere.
"Stop! Stop!"
As Gao Rou and others gradually approached, the soldiers on duty at the outer gate of Yijing started shouting and swaying their torches, trying to illuminate Gao Rou, Wei Yan and his party on the road.
"Stand here, mother! Howl your fucking ass!" Gao Rou greeted the soldiers on duty at Yijing checkpoint very rudely, "Do you have anything to eat or drink? My belly is touching my chest."
!』
Being scolded by Gao Rou so bluntly, the soldier at the sentry post didn't know what to say, and the bow and arrow in his hand lowered subconsciously.
Because Jizhou has been disturbed by Wei Yan for a period of time, there are many peripheral checkpoints and beacons set up in many places, especially at important city gates, to warn unknown teams.
This checkpoint outside Yijing was obviously newly built.
The team leader at the checkpoint took a closer look by the firelight, especially when he saw Gao Rou's nostrils raised high, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity suddenly came to his heart, and he quickly got down from the defensive position and shouted.
Haha said: "Ah, haha, thank you for your hard work, Shangguan. You came here in such a hurry... but you don't know why?"
"Why? You fucking have the nerve to ask! The hussars have invaded, how can you people defend it? Huh?" Gao Rou took out the text from his arms and shook it, "Look! This
Asking for help day by day, he only asks for help. When I come with people, you ask me why I am here?! What do you think I am here for?! 』
The long list of Gao Rou can be described as majestic and full of energy.
Wei Yan frowned slightly behind him.
Because this performance is a bit overdone...
However, the team leader at the sentry did not notice anything unusual at all. Not only did he glance at the text briefly, he didn't even bother to check it, let alone check on Wei Yan and others.
"Thank you, Shangguan, thank you, Shangguan..." The leader of the team nodded and bowed, "Look at my sentry post, it's so simple that even if the wind blows, it can be seen from all sides! All the food is brought from the city every day. It's really...
There’s no savings at all! And the place here is so small that Shangguan can’t even stretch his legs... Shangguan, look, we’re almost there... Shangguan goes forward along the road, and after passing another guard post, he enters the city.
, If we walk smoothly, we might be able to get to the city in time to have breakfast. Isn't it more comfortable than in the wilderness like mine?"
While Gao Rou was taking back the writing, she secretly glanced at Wei Yan. When Wei Yan nodded slightly, she coughed and said, "If you don't have anything to eat, you must have some water! Bring some water bags!"
As a result, there was no water bag, so I just filled two bags of water next to the bucket, then hurriedly passed the checkpoint and headed towards Yijing.
After Gao Rou, Wei Yan and others left, the team leader at the checkpoint lowered his face and snorted with a sneer.
"Leader, these people are a bit suspicious..." A soldier from Cao's army came forward and said, "How could a Jizhou guy be so active and diligent? He was on his way at starry night... and there were no complaints... This should be checked carefully..."
The team leader glanced at the soldiers sideways, "Oh! You are so capable! Then tell me, what should we do?"
The soldier said: "We should light the beacon fire to warn the city!"
The team leader looked deeply at the soldier, "Then...why didn't you say anything just now?"
The soldier hadn't noticed anything yet, "Just now? Weren't you talking about the team leader just now?"
"Oh, blame me, blame me!" The team leader laughed, and then pulled the soldier aside, "Oh, tell me, why didn't I discover your talent earlier?"
The soldier reacted at first, thinking that the captain was really praising him and was still being modest. However, after taking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong, because the further he walked, the deeper he walked into the shadows...
"Team leader...ah!"
The soldier still wanted to ask, but suddenly he felt a coldness in his chest and abdomen, and then a heat. When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw a shining short blade piercing his chest and abdomen!
"What are you going to do?! You want to be a deserter!" The team leader shouted indiscriminately, as if he was fighting for the air, "Damn it! You still want to kill me?! Ahhh! Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
The subordinates directly under the team leader heard this and rushed over with knives and torches.
"This thief wants to escape!" Team Leader shook his shirt, "He also wanted to harm someone! Fortunately, someone killed him in return!"
The subordinates directly under the team leader looked at it, then reacted, waving torches and shouting: "It's okay! It's okay! There is a deserter! There is a deserter! He was killed on the spot! It's okay! It's all gone, it's all gone!"
The soldier was not completely dead yet. Hearing these shouts, he fell to the ground, furious and still confused, "Why... why..."
The team leader squatted down, looked at the soldier and said, "Are you smart? Have you ever fucking thought about why our sentry post only has a wooden wall, a row of hay huts, and a few horses? What the hell is this?"
What? Have the gentlemen in the city ever thought about how we would defend ourselves if we really encountered something?! We were told to come out to die! Just light the beacon fire as you said! As for our life and death, who will?
Care? Who the hell cares?!』
"you……"
"What the hell!" the team leader snorted coldly, "Do you really think I'm stupid? You found out something was wrong and didn't say it to my face, but you came behind your back and asked me to light the beacon! By the way, your credit is wrong, I will hold you accountable!"
Bah! How dare you play tricks on me!』
The team leader waved his hand and said to his direct subordinates, "Pull further away, find a hole, bury it, and rest in peace! It's considered a comradeship!"
The team leader and his cronies agreed, dragging the soldier out.
"Those people...are there really something wrong?"
A close aide of the team leader asked.
The team leader was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, "The last time you opened your belly and ate meat and wine to your fullest...do you still remember?"
"Ah? Captain, what are you asking about this?" Leader's confidant was in a daze, "It's been a long time... After defeating Gongsun's army, there was a banquet hosted by Yuan Gong under the city, and everyone had plenty of food and wine... I remember that.
It happened once, and then it disappeared... In the past few years, military pay has been less than one year, but this kind of food and wine has become more expensive every year!"
The team leader laughed and said, "Yes, but you also know that those dignitaries... eat meat and drink until they vomit, and they are not willing to share some with us... So, how much military pay is it?"
How many things! Others don’t treat us as human beings. If we don’t care about our own lives, then no one really cares about us... Do you understand? 』
"Understood! What the leader said is right!" said a close confidant of the leader, "But, let's just let them pass...will everything be okay?"
"What can happen?" Team leader smiled and said, "Anyway, they have written... What can happen? What happens? It's not our business! Okay, while it's still early, go back and get some sleep...
…』
Everyone was speechless, so they all walked back.
The team leader looked up at the sky and saw a large area of black sky. The moon had long since disappeared.
The team leader couldn't help but sneered, "What a beautiful weather!"
"Ah? Is the weather nice?"
The team leader smiled and said, "Good weather for sleeping!"
