Cao Ren and Li Shushi were stunned for a moment and then felt relieved.
Although Cao Ren's defense cannot be said to be perfect, if it was just a Zhongyang city, there should be no problem. At least when he faced Soochow, he lasted for a year with both military strength and morale at a disadvantage.
Although Guan Yu lost Xiangyang when his morale was high, he finally managed to get Xu Huang to come to Fancheng to help him.
The Xianbei who is attacking this time are destined to be unable to carry out activities such as siege for several months. For them, losing the mobility of the cavalry is equivalent to destroying half of the martial arts masters, so as long as Cao Ren can withstand the barbarism for a few days,
If people attack the city, in fact, even if the Xianbei people will still linger under the city like the Jie people, the intensity of the attack will be greatly reduced.
Again, although the grassland barbarians may not be better at arithmetic than Li Shushi, they are all masters at weighing the pros and cons at hand. They will not lose their strength in vain and the gain will not be worth the loss. Zhongyang will never arouse the enthusiasm of the Xianbei people.
greedy.
"Why Zixiao? In your words, there should be many candidates to choose from."
Although he already agreed with Gao Shun's choice from the bottom of his heart, Li Shushi was still curious about Gao Shun's choice. After all, it can be seen from Gao Shun's words just now that this task with the opportunity to lead the army is actually very popular.
"Who said this guy's family is rich and he has a younger brother who is also rich and manages military supplies?"
Qu Yi on the side said this as if his face was full of sorrow and indignation. Speaking of the candidate for Zhongyang City Guards, he should definitely be the favorite. It seems that Cao Ren or Cao Chun must have made many promises to him in order to get this position. He couldn't.
The temptation to refuse.
"Zihe, tell me what's going on. You two brothers are quite powerful if you can convince a guy like Zhengdao."
"Haha, hahaha..." Cao Chun scratched his head with a silly look on his face, and his face also looked a little embarrassed. At first glance, you can tell that he is still the good boy with a pure heart. Well, I guess those crooked ideas are all from his writing ranger.
Pronounced as "Rogue Bandit's Brother".
"Actually, after riding side by side with General Fengxian, my brother felt that the barbarians on the Xihe side were indeed more powerful and exciting than the rangers, bandits, and river bandits in the Central Plains. Besides, my brother's goal since he was a child was to be a guard.
Even if a general like Huo cannot achieve such achievements, he can live up to his life by becoming a good general with a reputation like Chen Tang and Geng Bing."
So bright, such Cao Ren is really bright. Compared with tall, handsome and rich people who have set up lofty ideals since childhood, Li Shushi is obviously far behind. Although he shouted that he would target Cheng Bushi, in fact, he was subjective
Compared with a good young man like Cao Ren, his initiative is still far behind. Therefore, compared with such a shining Cao Ren, Li Shushi feels that he is too gloomy.
"Because of my brother's wish and his interest in Zhongyang City Guards, when I heard that it was difficult to choose the lord, I took the initiative to go to Brother Zian and Brother Fengxian to discuss it. In the end, it took a lot of effort to 'convince' everyone.
of."
To replace the pure Cao Chun in my imagination, or should I say that the children of the aristocratic family and the common people like myself are basically creatures on two different planes? Lu Bu and Gao Shun and Li Shushi still know each other quite well, although if they bribe Lu Bu
As long as the matter is not difficult to handle, Lu Bu will basically accept it, but if you ask Lu Bu to bribe him, it is definitely impossible with this guy's arrogance, so he will never come up with such an idea. As for Gao Shun, the incompetent guy
Not to mention guys.
So in fact there is only one possibility, that is, Cao Chun obtained potential candidates for city defense from Lu Bu and Gao Shun, and then used the family's rich methods to defeat them. Of course, the process was done by Cao Chun using an enhanced version of "
"Persuasion" was passed off lightly. After all, it was too arrogant to talk about how he corrupted the other party's generals in front of his lord.
"Well, let Zixiao be the city guard. But I may not have so many soldiers for him, and his opponent is completely unknown, so the risk is quite high. I hope he won't resent you and me when he is in danger.
.”
Li Shushi had made the decision, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a figure in front of him flashing, and a figure kneeling on one knee appeared in front of him. Although he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him because he lowered his head.
, but after Su Xiaololi's intrusion just now, Li Shushi's nerves have been well tempered, so now he looks completely calm and calm.
"Ren only needs two thousand elite soldiers and a few trebuchets. Life and death on the battlefield are determined by fate. Wealth and wealth are in heaven. Ren will only be grateful to the prefect for trusting me and giving me such a rare opportunity. Ren hereby swears that he will live up to the prefect."
As ordered, people are present in the city."
"Then I will send Cao Ling to be your military counselor, and Liao Chunhe will be your deputy general. We will select the soldiers and set off as soon as possible today."
"Get the order!"×4.
"In addition, Wei Yue, you choose 500 light cavalry to station in Pingzhou. On the one hand, you are responsible for dealing with those barbarians who dare to take advantage of the situation. On the other hand, you must also keep an eye on the Yellow Turban Army who were dispersed by us in Baibo Valley. They will not easily
Those who are willing to give up."
"The more I understand, please rest assured, lord, the more I will make sure they never come back."
"For the rest of you, please work harder to ensure that Lishi City does not fall into the hands of the barbarians."
"The last general (subordinate) takes the order!"×N.
However, just a few minutes after the tea party turned into a military meeting, a personal guard came to Li Shushi with quite surprising news, news that left Li Shushi completely confused.
"Report, Huns troops appeared thirty miles outside Shicheng. They sent envoys to express their intention to meet with the prefect."
The Xiongnu army? And they also sent envoys to meet with themselves? What kind of situation is this? And even if the Xiongnu wanted to send envoys, they should negotiate with the envoys of the Xiongnu Zhonglang who held the scepter of the Han Emperor. If local officials did not
Although there is no legal provision that clearly stipulates what kind of punishment will be imposed if someone is authorized to interact with foreigners privately, but most of them will have to be read by some scholar-officials.
"Which Xiongnu envoy is here, and why are you here?" Tong Yuan's speech solved Li Shushi's problem.
Seeing the hesitant look on Li Shushi's face, Lu Zhi knew that the other party was concerned, so he poked Tong Yuan. Anyway, Tong Yuan was famous when he was in Beidi, and he should be the same as the Han clan's bone capital Hou clan who were also distributed in the local area.
We have a close relationship with him, so if he comes forward, there will be a lot of explanations in the future. Anyway, this guy is not Li Shushi’s official subordinate.
"The other party seems to claim to be from the subordinates of Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu." The guard was a little unsure. After all, the information was vague. He was just a pawn who sent a message. He didn't know exactly what the other party said.
However, Li Shushi suddenly felt that Lu Bu beside him was visibly shaking when he heard the words "Youxian King Yu Fuluo". He glanced sideways at Lu Bu, only to see him clenching his fists and looking complicated, as if he was struggling in his heart.
.
"Fengxian, I heard from Zian that you have a close relationship with the Huns and are relatively familiar with them. You will be the one to receive this Huns envoy. What is the purpose of the other party? What is Xihe doing to me at this critical moment?
What kind of attitude can you use to inquire about something?"
Here Gao Shun was still wondering when he had told his lord about Fengxian's relationship with the Huns. Lu Bu was already so excited that he clasped his fists and responded to Li Shushi: "I promise to complete the mission!" After saying that, he couldn't wait to drag Li Shushi's bodyguard.
Rushed out of the door.
"It seems that Fengxian's experience is really complicated, hahahaha..."
Seeing Lu Bu's abnormal reaction, everyone knew that he must have some connection with the Youxian King. It is worth pondering whether they are enemies or friends. But fortunately, even if the enemy has the great god Zong Yuan, he can stand by him.
As long as Lu Bu doesn't do anything outrageous, Li Shushi believes that Lu Zhi will help and ask the clan members to help settle the matter. Of course, it would be better if it is a friendly army. It is best to provide a little help in times of need to make the battle against Xianbei more effective.
The odds of winning are not.
So that night, Li Shushi received Lu Bu playing a small game of shooting the halberd with his Fangtian painted halberd and the bow of bliss that looked like a person's eyes, leaving the opponent's leader stunned. Okay.
It was supposed to appear more than ten years later."
"Yuanmen Shooting Halberd" actually appeared here in advance. Of course, Li Shushi believed that Lu Bu's performance was absolutely insane, because he directly shouted out the distance of two hundred steps. This distance was not even reached by Cao Xing and Huang Zhong, the strongmen of foot shooting.
Complete assurance.
I wonder how terrifying two hundred steps is? Well, the Qin Dynasty used six feet as a step, and the Han Dynasty mostly inherited the Qin system in terms of weights and measures, so it was also six feet per step. One foot in the Han Dynasty is about 23 centimeters today. That is
It is said that Lu Bu needs to use his bow and arrow to shoot at a distant target at least 270 meters away and hit it accurately. This is such incredible luck.
Although the lethal distance of the Song Dynasty and its outstanding Divine Arm Bow (actually it should be more appropriately called Divine Arm Crossbow) was more than 300 steps, at that time, few of them could achieve such a long range of damage based on area coverage.
Things, and the aiming system is still extremely crude now. In other words, the effective range of a single use is only a hundred steps.
So let alone the Hun general who was full of guilt and fell under Lu Bu's leather boots on the spot, even Li Shushi was immediately OTZ when he heard the news. As expected, Xiaoqiang insisted on getting it at the critical moment. Xiaoqiang's production must be a high-quality product.
No.
The story on the second day after that was more ridiculous, of course in Li Shushi's opinion. The Huns general who was shocked by Lu Xiaoqiang's overlord spirit reported his family name, and it turned out to be Yelida, the legitimate son of King Youxian of the Huns. Of course
This self-report is not shocking. The key is the following sentence, "He is the cousin of General Fengxian" that really shocked everyone present and shook their bodies as if they were having an epileptic seizure.
Lu Bu also had to admit that his mother was actually the sister of King Youxian. Because she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her father, she ran away. As for how she met Lu Bu's father later, even Lu Bu himself didn't know, because
His mother fell ill when she gave birth to him and left when he was very young. His father also died shortly afterwards.
During the Xianbei people's southern invasion, it is not known whether that part is a sentimental love novel like Qiong
His life experience has been explained, and the jade pendant is now lying quietly with Lu Bu's wife.
It is precisely because of this relationship that when Lu Bu was roaming the grasslands, if he really couldn't avoid it, he would run to his uncle, whom he met by chance, to avoid the limelight. Therefore, although the two parties could not be said to be close, they could be regarded as friendly people.
Now that there is such a relationship, and Lu Bu has used his force to completely subdue the arrogant Huns, the subsequent negotiations will be much smoother for Li Shushi.
Xiaoqiang, I should definitely remember you this time~
