There was a beautiful woman sitting at the banquet, adding a catfish effect to the leaders of Qingyang Mansion.
Han Chaozai and Tian Jin'an talked to each other, talking about their experiences of siege and attack, and commented on each other's use of troops from time to time.
Just listening to the chat is like a god descending to earth.
While boasting, he would secretly glance at Bailiu River and Yunjiaoyue with his peripheral vision.
Liu Chengzong is just the opposite, he is very silent.
Fan Sanlang tiptoed to the side and advised softly: "Commander, please move your eyes, you are embarrassing these two girls."
Liu Chengzong came back to his senses, smiled, and asked in a low voice: "What have you been doing?"
"Walk the horse, Hongqi needs some water, and help the Dai Guan team to set up camp for their people."
Liu Shizi said: "Come on, come on, sit down and watch together."
Fan Sanlang frowned when he heard that. Who are you? Just watch it for yourself. He even pulled me to watch it together: "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
Liu Chengzong was fooled.
He wondered, what about girls who don’t wear clothes?
And it was wrapped up very tightly.
"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, I'm not as good-looking as you, so if you look at each other, we'll be even." Liu Chengzong said seriously: "We can't take advantage of others in vain."
Liu Chengzong is extremely boring.
Sitting on his left is Han Chaozai, and next to Han Chaozai is Tian Jinan. Next to them is Han Shipan and Han Shiyou who are accompanying them. They chatter non-stop and have to say something to him from time to time.
The key points are very boring. They are all about sieges and wars. Liu Chengzong can't arouse any interest in them.
You guys are so awesome.
Qingyang Prefecture has one state, four counties and five cities, but none of them have been captured yet.
Of the ten post cities, only Songzhuang and Shaozhuang in Malan Mountain, Pengyuan in Ningzhou, and four post cities in Zhengping are gone, but three of the four post cities were instigated by Yang Yaoxi to rebel during his plunder.
There is only one Zhengping post left, but it was mismanaged by the post chief. He deducted it even more severely than the post chief who was beaten to death by Wei Qian'er, and forced the post servants to rebel.
So what have you two brothers done?
What does it mean to besiege a city and attack a stronghold? Why is it not called a siege and a stronghold? Because it was not captured.
Fan Sanlang was dumbfounded and stood there blankly while Liu Chengzong pushed him to sit next to him.
The first time he heard Liu Shizi praise her for her beauty, and then looked at Bai Liuxi's small earrings and little headdress, Fan Sanlang felt aggrieved.
She always thought that Liu Shishi thought of him as a man. He would not let her sleep on the bed, throw him on the back of a horse and a mule, and make her throw away all her clothing.
I have to wear 30 kilograms of weight and run around the mountains every day, and I have to be hacked hundreds of times... It's sad, you know now that I'm a woman, no matter how good-looking I am, I can't do this all day long!
Liu Shizi was shaking his head and sighing. He is 1.8 meters tall, but his weight is obviously not enough. Otherwise, the dream of becoming the number one heroine has become a reality.
Turning around, he saw Fan Sanlang calming down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fan Sanlang shook his head and whispered: "If you like them, just keep them."
"What do you think of their people?"
"Dai Guandu said..." Fan Sanlang was at a loss for words to describe the tribesmen in Bailiuxi, so he borrowed Dai Daozi's words and said: "There is little chance of winning against them with a pond of horse soldiers."
This was actually a bit complicated for Fan Sanlang. She didn't understand it, so she added another sentence: "The Dai Guan team is a bit overconfident, there are seven or eight hundred people."
Liu Chengzong shook his head. He knew the people in Bailiuxi well and said, "We can't keep them."
Even though Liu Shizi overestimated the martial arts of Bai Liuxi and others, after all, Han Chaozai did not clarify that it was a performance of Huaqiang. He thought it was Shaolin's Huaqiang.
Dai Daozi's evaluation of the combat effectiveness of his tribe was extremely low.
The subtext of this evaluation is that he has no military training.
To put it bluntly, martial arts can be strong or weak. If Bai Liuxi is a master of using spears and spears, or a master of fists and kicks, and Liu Shishi takes off his armor and uses fists, kicks or similar weapons, he really may not be able to defeat him.
There is also a slight possibility of being beaten to pieces.
But this did not stop Liu Chengzong from thinking that with a dozen martial arts masters and six to seven hundred civilians who became thieves due to hunger, he might be able to scare them so much that they would avoid the arrows and trample each other. p>
He can do it, Dai Daozi can do it, and Yitang Horse Soldiers can do it even more. Whether he can do it has more to do with courage and intelligence, and has little to do with martial arts.
Cao Yao sat on the other side. He was an old man. He noticed that Liu Chengzong had been staring at Bai Liuxi and Bai Liuxi. He smiled and cupped his hands from a distance, left the table and went to the tent. Not long after, he came back with Cao's sister-in-law.<
/p>
As soon as Sister-in-law Cao sat next to the two of them, Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue were no longer so embarrassed, and the three women started chatting.
However, Liu Chengzong stopped looking over there and concentrated on chatting with Fan Sanlang.
"Why can't I keep it? It's beautiful. Just keep it by your side and look at it every day." Fan Sanlang was very curious: "Don't they all talk about marrying a virtuous wife and taking concubines for sex? I haven't heard that you can find them if you run around." Fan Sanlang kept talking in a low voice, but unexpectedly this sentence made Liu Chengzong amused: "Where are you thinking? I didn't want to please my mother-in-law."
Fan Sanlang smiled and said: "If you don't want to woo your aunt, then you keep looking at her."
"It's good-looking." Liu Shizi took it for granted: "Isn't it normal to be attracted by sex?"
The person in his mind would get angry many times a day, but he would stop at being polite.
Liu Shizi doesn’t want to please his mother-in-law. In college, it is said that self-cultivation requires the study of things to gain knowledge in order to be sincere and sincere. How can you know what you want if you haven’t seen a few beauties?
You only want to know about it when you see it, and then you can know whether it is what you want.
Is it true that only Mr. Yangming is allowed to check bamboos, but I, Marshal the Lion, can not check beauties?
"Isn't it normal...is it normal?"
Looking at him taking it for granted, Fan Sanlang was not so confident when he spoke.
She also doesn’t quite understand the man’s thoughts.
Anyway, she found that Liu Chengzong was different from others. She always thought that when seeing a beauty, it was normal to look at her secretly or not at all.
But she didn't expect that when Liu Chengzong said this, she felt vaguely that it was normal to be open and honest.
She was convinced by Liu Chengzong's fallacy, so she also followed it and nodded while watching: "She is indeed a beauty!"
But she still feels that Liu Shizi attaches too much importance to combat effectiveness. She said: "I think we can stay and let them follow us. There are many women in the team and they can help with a lot of things."
"I'm so sleepy every day that I can't keep my eyes open and wash clothes. I'm a soldier and a slave. Why don't you find a woman who can do the washing and tidying up?"
Hey, don’t say it, the little thing makes sense.
Liu Chengzong was injured some time ago, and his sleeves would always seep blood and stain his clothes.
Those clothes were washed by Fan Sanlang. I was so sleepy every day that I couldn't open my eyes. I almost fell into the basin several times.
There are several women in the baggage team, but they cannot do all the work in the Lion Camp.
In fact, it is normal for leaders to have women in the team.
For some people, women can even account for one-third of their team.
But Liu Chengzong was very resistant to this. He always remembered the time when Mr. Wu Qian committed suicide and was chased and beaten by Zhang Xiong.
At that time, the team was full of hungry people, and those running behind were either old people or women. They had not been hungry for a few days or suffered much at that time, and they were all normal people. The ones who were most capable of fighting were all taking the rear.
.
Many of them who were not so good at fighting, or who were unlucky, died on the road and were killed by the Yan'an Flag Guard.
Therefore, I always feel that women and the elderly are a burden and will kill others because they are incompetent.
Even Fan Sanlang joined in and was not allowed to sleep in the bed every day, just to practice his ability to escape day and night.
But it's very effective.
Nowadays, Fan Sanlang still cannot maintain wearing heavy armor, so he wears chain mail wherever he goes to let his body get used to the weight.
After a few months, she has been able to do it very well, and she is as good at sleeping on horseback as a veteran, and she will never fall off again.
She is becoming more and more like a soldier.
Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue seemed to have some skills and would not be a burden, but they were also leaders, with hundreds of people behind them eating with them.
Those people are a burden.
If you can't keep him, no matter if you let others disperse as soon as they meet, or if you use the gains from the bloody battles of the entire Lion Battalion to enrich yourself, it will make him feel like he is nothing.
Liu Chengzong was not the only one who felt bored. The captains of the Lion Battalion all chatted about their own affairs, except for Li Laojia, who couldn't stand Tian Jinan's boasting.
He said: "Chief Tian, you are so powerful, why did you attack Heshui County? Just across the front, if we don't attack this city, we won't be able to transport food to the west!"
It was originally Li Laojing's vindictive words, but Yang Yao took over and said: "Heshui City is indeed a problem. It guards the nearest road to Qingyang Fucheng. The city is three miles away and is built on the Beishan Mountain. There is a beacon tower on the mountain, and the beacon fire ignites it."
, it can be heard from Qingyang Fucheng and Qingyang Wei forty miles away."
"Beichuan, which flows from north to south in the east of the city, meets Dongchuan, which flows from east to west. They merge into Heshui River and go westward. Only a stone bridge on the river outside Dongguan can pass through."
As soon as he heard that the car couldn't pass, Cao Yao became anxious: "What should I do if I can't pass?"
Yang Yao added: "Small cars can pass, but big cars cannot. Before I entered Qingyang, the commander-in-chief had ordered not to harm the people. I was afraid of robbing the city and the magistrate summoned the people to defend it, so I left the city alone. I thought I would go back to Yan'an."
What?"
Liu Chengzong was very happy to hear that. A big cart couldn't pass, and a grain truck carrying a thousand kilograms couldn't pass. How could you still want to shoot someone when you ran out of grain?
The Heshui County in front of us must be broken, but these Qingyang Prefecture's squatters may not be of use.
He asked Tian Jin'an: "Chief Tian, you are permanently stationed in this mountain. How many defenders are there in Heshui County?"
"The defenders are all three squads of government officials, the city's guard postmen and the squire regiment, more than 500 people, but the walls are high and the forts are deep, and two rivers meet, so it is really easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Liu Chengzong heard that the city was difficult to deal with, and wanted to avoid casualties among his men, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Thousands of stones of rice and food, think of a way to destroy it."
Tian Jinan faces difficulties.
One thousand kilo of rice and grain was quite tempting to him.
However, he thought again and again, and simply surrendered: "Commander, let me tell you the truth, I only have 600 men."
"There was an encirclement some time ago, but Jiang Yingchang, the county magistrate, was already prepared and could not defeat him."
Liu Shishi smiled, this guy couldn't even get free pay from the imperial court, so he wanted to get free pay from the rebels?
He turned to look at others again: "Which leader is willing to destroy this city?"
No one said anything, even just listening to Yang Yao and Tian Jinan's introduction to the city, they all knew that Heshui City was difficult to fight. It has a wall and a moat, with mountains to the north and river valleys to the south. No one knows how many people would die if they attacked it by force. p>
Maybe there won’t be any pressure on food after people die.
Seeing that none of them spoke, Liu Chengzong smiled and said: "It seems that I have to come to this city, so I will come. As for what the leaders said about the lack of food and grass, I have a suggestion."
At this time, the Han Dynasty Prime Minister, Tian Jin'an and the men sent by the Liu family brothers from the north were all a bit lower in momentum.
When it comes to field battles, mutual courage means that the border troops may dare to fight, but siegeing a city really does not rely on courage.
Once separated by a moat, if you can't even touch the city wall, you don't know how many people will die.
But when asking for food, they are very active and do not say anything when they have to work. They are all embarrassed and have no shame in asking for food.
"All the leaders have a lot of people. I have a small favor that I need your help with. I am short of shoes and socks. Please help me get some shoes and socks, as well as oily raincoats and hats."
Several leaders were particularly aggrieved.
You look down on people so much, don’t you think of them as small traders!
"Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions. The quantity I want is huge. If I can't buy it, I need help from the leaders."
Liu Chengzong waved his hands and said: "Thick-soled cloth shoes and white cloth socks, I want ten thousand pairs."
He really didn't mean to insult others. His people were too expensive for their shoes, especially when they fought with He Huchen on a rainy day on the mountain road. The mud couldn't be pulled out, and many people lost their shoes.
He Huchen's Ningxia soldiers were also recruited, and there were also a lot of barefooted soldiers in this group.
What's more, during long-distance marches, cloth soles are not very wear-resistant. Many of his men now wear straw sandals, and some simply go barefoot when their feet are worn out.
Shoes are the most scarce armament in the Lion Camp.
"Don't worry about whether you buy or make them, just bring me cloth shoes and socks, and I'll give you six pounds of yellow noodles for one set."
The unhappiness on the faces of several leaders became less pronounced.
Han Chaozai asked: "Commander, are the shoes you have worn okay?"
Liu Chengzong never thought that someone would ask this question. He nodded blankly and said: "As long as the ones you wear are not broken, I will give you four pounds... But don't rob ordinary people's shoes. It's too ugly to rob shoe thieves."
Everyone laughed.
Han Chaozai was a little embarrassed. He wanted to go back and ask his men to take off their shoes and go barefoot from now on.
Especially those at Bailiuxi River were the happiest, with Yun Jiaoyue and Yun Jiaoyue both showing excitement on their faces.
They are the best at this.
And the price is very high. Even if you sell the grain given by Liu Chengzong and go directly to the village to buy shoes, you can still get a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengzong said again: "Ten thousand pairs of thick cotton shoes and cotton boots, a pair of twenty kilograms of yellow; I also need ten thousand pairs of leather boots, sheepskin or cowhide, I don't care what kind of leather, the same twenty kilograms of yellow."
Noodles."
"There are also ten thousand sets of bamboo hats and oil coats, and ten pounds of yellow noodles." After Liu Chengzong said this, he looked at everyone's reaction and smiled: "As long as you send the things over, there will be no problem, just weigh the food and take it back, there will be no deductions.
”
After that, he changed the topic and said: "The price I gave is very suitable. Even if you buy it, you will still make money. If anyone lets me know and goes to steal shoes, don't blame me for turning against them." p>
Just when several leaders were happy to have a job in exchange for food, Bailiuxi, who was at the bottom, sat and cupped his hands and asked: "Generalissimo, if the slave sisters sneak into Heshui County to serve as internal agents, how much food can they be rewarded if the city is destroyed?"
