"What's going on? Let me go up the mountain to find the treasure..."
The commander-in-chief Wang Kuo roared angrily, and all his soldiers swarmed to the top of the mountain.
The main hall of Jigongshan is gone long ago, and all that is left are the charred ruins of wood, bricks and rubble. Not to mention any living people, not even a living bird or animal.
Now there is not a single copper coin on Jigong Mountain, not a grain of grain, not even a bandit.
After learning the news, General Cai Mao chopped off the wooden case in front of him with a sword.
Take advantage of the situation!
"Who did this? I want to peel off his skin..."
There was a burst of shouting from the general's palace, and military advisor Xu Ji was speechless. The news brought back by the commander Wang Kuo was almost zero, and it was impossible to guess who did it. After a fire, nothing was left.
Some people are sad and others are happy, but there are bursts of hearty laughter in Xinye City.
It was the three sworn brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang from Taoyuan.
"Thanks to Xianhe this time, Xinye finally has some confidence."
Xianhe is the name of the counselor Jian Yong. He met Liu Bei when he was young and later went out to study and travel.
When passing through Xinye, Liu Bei happened to discover his childhood friend.
Although Jian Yong cannot be called the top counselor of the Three Kingdoms, he is also knowledgeable and good at using strange things.
Liu Bei's face was full of sincerity and he helped the big man with his righteous words. Jian Yong also bowed his head and bowed.
He became the strategist of Xinye, but Liu Bei was very happy. What he lacked in his account was counselors, otherwise he would not be messing around like a headless fly.
Jian Yong became a strategist and immediately entered the role. After some analysis, Xinye could stay there and take the opportunity to develop and strengthen his strength.
However, Liu Bei was poor. The money and food in his hands were only enough to support two to three thousand troops. He had no money to expand his army.
Jian Yong asked Guan Yu to send his men to inquire about the activities of General Cai Hao's mansion at all times.
It has long been rumored that Cai Mao was at odds with the eldest son of Jizhou Mufu, and Liu Bei also confirmed this.
So Jian Yong concluded that something else would happen between the two of them.
Sure enough, the emperor paid off. Jian Yong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that He Man had led an army into the territory of Jizhou.
At this time, there were definitely not many bandit soldiers left in Jigong Mountain, so Liu Bei took the opportunity to seize the bandit den.
With both money and food, Xinye had the resources to expand its armaments.
"Xianhe, isn't this good? I'm afraid General Cai Mao is also thinking about the money and food on Jigong Mountain."
Liu Bei's analysis was not unreasonable. Xinye originally asked for it from Liu Cong, the head of Jizhou Mufu.
Now Cai Mao is a great general with overwhelming power. If he offends him, I'm afraid Xinye won't be able to stay any longer.
"He Man is also a commander of the Yellow Turban Army. He has 50,000 troops and is not weak in strength."
"Liu Qi has a small number of troops, but he has elite soldiers and strong generals. From my opinion, the outcome of this battle is still 50-50."
"Cai Mao will never attack before the outcome of the two armies is decided. This is a God-given opportunity for Xinye..."
I have to say that Jian Yong's analysis was accurate, but he didn't expect that He Man was destroyed by Liu Qi in just one round.
With the two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu beside him, Liu Bei also made up his mind to destroy He Man's lair.
With the unparalleled martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the little Jigong Mountain bandits are naturally no match.
After the money and grain were shipped out, Jian Yong came up with another plan, which was to burn Jigong Mountain on fire.
That's why Wang Kuo couldn't find any trace of who made the move first.
A victory in Fancheng greatly increased his strength, and after selection and ideological education, a third leader was appointed.
It was Zhou Cang who led the people to surrender, and his deputy was Pei Yuanshao. Naturally, they were very happy.
The first commander, Huang Zhong, led 20,000 troops, and the second commander, Zhao Yun, led 15,000 troops.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao led 10,000 troops, and then Liu Qi added bow and crossbow battalions, stone-throwing battalions, cavalry battalions, special forces battalions, scout battalions, etc.
The crossbow battalion was led by Jiawu, and the cavalry battalion was led by Yue Yong, Wang Dahu, and Cheng Biaoxian.
The scout battalion was naturally led by Jia Qi, and Yun Zhong and others also became captains.
He still lacks generals under his command, but there is no need to rush. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
Liu Qi arranged everything properly and returned to being carefree and contented. He ate the little maid's tofu whenever he had nothing to do.
Of course, I sometimes miss Zhang Ning in my heart, but the world is huge and my strength is too small, so I can't find out the news about this saint who is loved and hated at the same time.
Of course, I occasionally think of the incomparable beauty and versatile Cai Wenji.
I just don’t know if this cute little girl has married Wei Zhongdao, the Wei family in Hedong.
Naturally, Chixia Kung Fu did not give up. She practiced hard every day and night, and occasionally competed with the little maid in martial arts. However, there was no sign of the Ren and Du meridians being opened at all.
"Lord, the imperial court has sent someone."
As soon as Liu Qi received the Chixia Kung Fu, the happy voice of Du Chang, the household registration chief, came from outside the door.
The person who came was none other than Wang Sheng, the eunuch sent by the imperial court. He was short in stature, fat-headed and chubby.
It was Shi Changshi who was Zhang Rang's subordinate. Now that the eunuchs in the imperial court are in power, eunuch Zhang Rang can be said to cover the sky with one hand.
Liu Qi did not dare to neglect and quickly led his men out to greet him.
"Wang has met the eldest young master. To be precise, he should be Marquis Renyong."
Eunuch Wang Sheng greeted with a smile, and feinted with his hands clasped in fists.
This is the person named by His Majesty, and he is a member of the Han family, otherwise Wang Sheng would have waved his sleeves long ago.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, even Liu Qi was a little confused.
Although he is a member of the Han clan, he is only a minor palace master. Wang Sheng's words revealed a lot of information.
Nowadays, officials don't like political affairs. They linger among beautiful women all day long, and they don't even remember that they are members of the Han clan.
Where does the title of "Ren Yong Hou" come from? You must know that if there is the word "Hou" behind it, it means a different status.
The imperial court implemented a system of enfeoffment, in which the clans of the Han Dynasty were in charge of the world, and the names of the princes were not small.
"Master Wang is too polite, please hurry up and please, A3, hurry up and bring back the heavy gifts."
Liu Qi invited with smiling hands.
Don't underestimate Wang Sheng, who is just a eunuch. He is a subordinate of Chang Rang.
I heard that it was the Living King of Hell from Jia San again, but no one thought that he was giving the whip as a generous gift.
Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and other civil and military officials all discussed privately, and of course they were all titled by their lord Naren Yonghou.
As for the ghost Guo Jia, he shook his feather fan and smiled slightly. This was something he had expected.
Jia San ordered several guards to carry the two boxes up. This move made Wang Sheng stand up so excited that he didn't even bother to drink tea.
Just the sound of the box falling to the ground makes this gift extraordinary, and it also comes from many years of experience.
Liu Qi's face did not change at all. It seemed that the generous gift had a good effect, and of course he had many questions.
Fancheng is too far away from Luoyang, and there is little information available, so I have many questions to ask.
