Liu Jing couldn't help but frowned when he heard that Liu Jing wanted him to serve as the chief registrar. The chief registrar is a close official of the county monarch and the steward of the county temple. He mainly helps the county monarch "to manage the administration and make up for the mistakes".
The most complicated thing is that with his personality, he is not suitable for this position at all. He immediately shook his head and refused: "Zhongda's intention is inappropriate. The chief registrar is the most important position in the county temple. It requires quick thinking and careful behavior.
Others are not qualified for the job. This is not my strength, so why not let me be the chief reporter."
The chief clerk is mainly responsible for recording documents and other matters, and his work is much easier than that of the chief clerk, which is suitable for him who is intolerant of mundane tasks.
At present, all political affairs in Ling County are handled by the seriousness of the county magistrate, Cao Gu Mao, who is the chief clerk, and the pottery merchant who is the chief clerk. Liu Jing's original intention was to let Liu Yao be the chief clerk, and all the secular affairs should be done by Cao Gu Mao.
Since Liu Yao offered to be the chief reporter, Liu Jing naturally agreed.
Since Liu Yao was thinking about his sick mother, things were settled and he said goodbye to Liu Jing before the tea boiled.
How could Liu Jing turn a blind eye to the news that Liu's mother was ill? He immediately ordered people to prepare gifts and followed Liu Yao to his home by car to visit Liu's mother.
As Liu Yao said, Liu's mother was suffering from heart disease. When she heard a noise outside the house and knew that Liu Yao had returned from going out, she immediately turned over, turned her back to the door and window, and cried silently.
Liu Jing followed Liu Yao into the dormitory, saw Liu's mother showing her back, and said, "Is Madam sleeping? Madam Jing heard that she was feeling unwell, so she came here to visit."
Mother Liu quietly wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "It's Zhongda who's here..."
Liu Jing was shocked when he saw Liu's mother's appearance. In just a few months, most of Liu's hair turned white, she looked weak and haggard, and she looked more than ten years older. No wonder Liu Yao was so anxious and worried, and even did not hesitate to change himself
A reclusive heart as solid as gold and stone.
Liu's mother only spoke to Liu Jing, but ignored Liu Yao. Liu Yao sighed inwardly, came to the bed and knelt down and said: "Mother, I have decided to become an official."
Liu's mother glanced at Liu Yao in surprise. No one knew her son better than her. Liu Yao had been different since he was a child. Although he was extremely talented, he lacked ambition and had no intention of pursuing an official career. He wanted to be a hermit.
Therefore, when I suddenly heard that he had changed his mind and decided to become an official, I couldn't believe it for a moment.
Liu Jing said: "Just now Wenlang came to my house and asked to serve as an official. I have already agreed to Wenlang and entrusted him with the post of chief secretary."
Liu Yao then said: "So please mother get well soon. Only in this way can my son go to his post with peace of mind."
Mother Liu couldn't help crying again and said: "You finally know how to make progress, so that even if I die soon, I can rest in peace."
"Please be careful, mother." Liu Gao kowtowed heavily and said, "After my son becomes an official, he usually lives in an official's house. He can only go home after taking a rest. In the future, it will be difficult to serve his mother. I hope my mother will take care of her health."
Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "Just go and don't miss me."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had relaxed, Liu Jing took the opportunity to give gifts to Liu's mother and stayed there until evening before leaving.
The next day, Liu Jing came to the county temple alone. He spent a whole day reading a lot of documents and finally got a general understanding of Ling County. However, Liu Jing was not just the magistrate of Ling County. He also took photos of nine counties in Changsha.
, entered Lingling and guarded Lingling, with tens of thousands of water infantry under his command. Except for Lingling County, everyone else had to be in charge.
Liu Yan handed over unimportant and complicated matters to his assistants and junior officials. He was only responsible for important affairs. On the surface, he acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, but in fact he had deep knowledge of political affairs. As a superior, Hongda style
That’s it.
However, in just a few days, Liu Yao managed everything in an orderly manner, which was very different from before. Since he was the county magistrate, he was serious, and he was the meritorious officer Gu Mao. He was the chief bookkeeper and the pottery merchant, and all officials below him respected him.
…………
The southern city wall has now become devastated, and a section of the wall near the north side has even collapsed, and Changsha soldiers blocked the gap with wooden fences.
On the city wall, soldiers from both sides were fighting each other. Dead bodies and wounded were spread all over the city wall. The injured were either trampled to death or killed by the enemy's last stabs. Only a few people were rescued by their companions.
Facing the Jingzhou Army that was rushing toward the city like a tidal wave, the Changsha soldiers gradually felt overwhelmed and retreated steadily. Under such an unfavorable situation, Chu Fang, who had just returned to the rear to rest for a short time, had to return to the front line again.
Chu Fang's robe and armor had been completely destroyed in the previous frequent battles. He was now wearing a pair of undershirts and had a blacksmith sew the mantle and skirt. It was certainly not comparable to the fine robes and armor, but it was still barely there.
It's a full body armor.
"Kill..." Chu Fang was not very tall, but his voice was like thunder. He jumped into the enemy group and struck left and right with his halberd, killing or injuring anyone who stood in his way.
There were dozens of followers on Chu Fang's left and right. They were brave men selected by Chu Fang from tens of thousands of soldiers in Changsha. They followed Chu Fang to attack the enemy.
As Chu Fang returned to the battlefield, the morale of the soldiers in Changsha was greatly boosted, and the originally shaky defense line became stable again.
Outside Linxiang City, Kuai Yue stood on a cloud cart several feet high. Looking at the stalemate on the city wall again, he slapped the railing hard. It was Chu Fang again. The east city wall was in danger, so he went to the east; the south city wall
It was critical, he came to the south, and he was everywhere. Laixiang should have been broken long ago, and it was because of this person's obstruction that the war was still going on. Now every moment of delay, countless people die. Thinking of this,
Kuai Yue became more and more angry.
"Long history, if Chu Ziping is not eliminated, Linxiang will be hard to come down." Liu Pan looked resolute and once again asked Kuai Yue to fight: "Chu Ziping will be exhausted after fighting for a long time. If I lead the troops to the city at this time,
I will be able to kill him in one battle. Once this person dies, Linxiang will be defeated."
At the end of last year, Sun Ce invaded Jiangxia, defeated Huang Zu, and even killed his brother Liu Hu. At the beginning of this year, on Liu Biao's order, he rushed north to help, led his cavalry to counterattack into Yuzhang County, and crossed the Yuai, Xi'an,
In the county, Sun Ce had no choice but to send Taishi Ci to supervise all the generals to reject them.
Liu Pan led his army and fought several battles with Taishi Ci. He did not gain any advantage, but he did not suffer any losses. At that time, Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, and Zhang Xian died of illness, so he was urgently transferred back to Linxiang.
Hearing Liu Pan's invitation to fight again, Kuai Yue no longer refused as firmly as before, but fell into thinking.
Despite his appearance, Liu Biao was actually dissatisfied with him. He led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Linxiang, but failed to defeat him for years. When Zhang Xian was alive, Liu Biao could barely tolerate this. After all, Zhang Xian was deeply popular and he attacked Linxiang.
Xiang is by no means an easy task, but now that Zhang Xian has been dead for more than two months, Linxiang still has not been captured, which is a bit unreasonable.
If he hadn't been afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken and his achievements would fall short, Liu Biao might have changed his general by now.
Kuai Yue weighed it over and over in his mind, knowing that he could not delay it any longer, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed, warning: "Chu Ziping is by no means an easy person to deal with. Liu Zhonglang must be careful."
"The good news is that Chang Shi is waiting for me." Liu Pan showed a confident look on his face. He was not afraid of heroes like Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci who were famous all over the world. What's the point of a mere Chu Fang?
What's more, he was using his leisure to attack his labor. If he couldn't win over Chu Fang, he might as well kill himself.
Liu Pan got off the cloud carriage, and a powerful and resolute-looking cavalryman looked at him inquiringly. Liu Pan couldn't help but laughed heartily and said: "The official has agreed, Han Sheng, to come with me to the city.
"
This person is his lieutenant, named Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, a native of Nanyang County. He is brave and good at fighting, and is one of the best generals in the world. The reason why Liu Pan did not fall behind in the battle with Tai Shici was not only his personal bravery, but also Huang Zhong's.
The bravery is also an extremely important factor.
"No." Huang Zhong's heart was shocked and he responded happily.
Liu Pan looked at the Linxiang city wall from a distance and said to Huang Zhong: "The promotion of the Han Dynasty is in front of us. You and I can support it together."
Huang Zhong nodded solemnly and said: "I have been going south for many years, but I still haven't achieved any remarkable achievements. If I just return to Xiangyang empty-handed, won't I be laughed at by others? Today, I swear to be the first to achieve success."
Liu Panzhuang laughed loudly and said: "The first achievement is also my wish, and I cannot give it to you."
Then, each of the two men selected a hundred men, all of whom were wearing armor, discarding their armor, but holding long swords, spears and halberds, and headed straight to the gate of Linxiang City.
At this time, the battle situation of the Jingzhou Army became more and more unfavorable. Soldiers were continuously driven off the city wall by the Changsha Army. If they were lucky, they could escape along the ladder. More people were squeezed directly off the city wall several feet high. Even if they were lucky enough not to fall to death, they would still be unavoidable.
His hands and feet were broken, and he was seriously injured.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong showed no fear, took the lead and took the lead in rushing up the city wall along the ladder.
Although Liu Pan was wearing double armor, he was extremely agile. He passed through the broken female wall and suddenly thrust out the two-edged spear in his hand.
A Changsha soldier had no way to escape, and was stabbed in the throat by a bright spear, and then penetrated another person in the rear before stopping his attack.
After stabbing and killing two people in a row, Liu Pan's expression remained unchanged as he pulled out a two-edged spear with all his strength, and immediately slashed left and right. The so-called two-edged spear means that the two sides of the harpoon have sharp edges, and can both stab and chop.
Huang Zhong was holding a long sword with a ring head. The blade was more than four feet long and red as blood. It is not known whether it was born this way or whether it was caused by the accumulation of blood over many years due to too many killings.
Huang Zhong held a bloody knife in both hands, slashing left and right. The sharp edge of the knife was unstoppable. Wherever it passed, limbs and heads flew everywhere, causing grief and grief everywhere. It was like cutting grass.
Under the leadership of Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, two hundred soldiers wearing heavy armor pushed back the unstoppable Changsha army.
The generals of the Jingzhou army below the city took advantage of this opportunity to reorganize their forces, and then launched a new round of offensive towards the head of Linxiang City.
Zhu'a was injured several times and was covered in blood. He couldn't help but gasp for breath. Although it was difficult for him to even stand now, his hand holding the knife was still very stable because he had six fingers.
Zhu A considers himself a hero, but after all, he is a thief, and his martial arts may be relatively outstanding among the knights in the market. If he puts it on the battlefield, let alone being wiped out by everyone, he is far from outstanding. He is worse than a fierce general like Chu Fang.
Even though he was far away, he still had this self-awareness.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Zhu and Huang Zhong charging towards him, he couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva. As soon as these two people arrived on the city, they reversed the situation in one fell swoop. In his eyes, Chu Fang was a rare warrior in the world, and these two
The bravery shown by Chu Fang is by no means inferior to that of Chu Fang. One can imagine how much pressure he is under now.
"Brother, these two are invincible. Let's go quickly..." The young man looked panicked and grabbed Zhu A, trying to drag him away.
"Let's go? Where can we go?" Zhu A smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I used to be a thief in the market, but later I gave up stealing for gambling. After all, I couldn't get on the stage and could only stay in the market for the rest of my life. However, thanks to Mr. Fu
If you don't give up, make me the commander of another department. I can only repay you with death for this kindness and virtue."
"But now the prince is dead..." Seeing that his eldest brother seemed to be willing to die, the young man said anxiously.
"Although the prince is dead, the kindness has not been repaid. You don't owe me the kindness, so you can leave. I can't." Zhu Apingping's ruthless face was full of perseverance. In the past two years, although he lived a precarious life every day,
days, but this was the happiest time in his life. He would rather die on the battlefield than return to the market, a place he hated from the bottom of his heart.
The young man's face was full of bitterness. He was an orphan and had been raised by Zhu'a since he was a child. Without Zhu'a, even though the world is so big, where could he go?
"Just die!" The young man tightened the knife in his hand and stood side by side with Zhu A.
Zhu A smiled at the young man, then faced Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, who were charging like ferocious ferocious beasts, raised their swords and shouted: "I am Sima Zhu A from another department..."
Huang Zhong has no interest in knowing who the ant in front of him is. He only has Chu Fang in his eyes. Anyone who dares to stand in his way will die!
A streak of blood flashed across, and with a "bang" sound, the knife in Zhu'a's hand was broken into two pieces, and a blood mark appeared on his neck. Then, before he could fall down, his body was hit by Huang Zhong, who was rushing towards him.
Fly out.
The young man's eyes were about to burst, but the next moment, Liu Pan's spear pierced his eye socket and penetrated his brain to death.
In the eyes of Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, Zhu Ahe's young man was just a pebble on the roadside, kicked away with his feet. Their only target was Chu Fang, and the two sides were not far apart.
The look on Chu Fang's face was extremely solemn. He had noticed Huang Zhong and Liu Pan as early as when they had just climbed onto the city wall. After all, they were invincible on the city wall and invincible. It was difficult not to notice them. And the two of them were invincible.
It was obviously for him.
"The Jingzhou Army has such a fierce general, why has it never shown up before?" Chu Fang was confused, but it doesn't matter now. Both of them are brave generals. Even in his heyday, he was not sure.
After being able to defeat one of them, he is now exhausted. Faced with the siege of two people, his chance of surviving is almost zero.
"Avoid its edge?" Chu Fang looked at the Jingzhou troops who were climbing up the city wall again. If he retreated, the Changsha soldiers would definitely collapse. He would definitely not do this.
