It seems that Du Yuan did not lie. Liao Hua is indeed a very righteous person.
Liu Cheng couldn't help but rub his hands and touched the butcher's knife in his hand.
He agreed to stay here to help the villagers of Zhangjiacun and deal with the bandits who might come next. Although he repaid the old village chief for finding a house for the few of them to stay, he wanted to take the opportunity to make a name for himself, the newly minted Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and collect some money.
The people's concerns are still there, but Liu Cheng's biggest consideration is not yet here.
Liu Cheng had already decided that he would go to Dong Zhuo and rely on Dong Zhuo to start his own business.
The heads of Cao Cao and Chen Gong he brought with him were the stepping stones for Liu Cheng's promotion.
Liu Cheng had no other ideas before, he just wanted to take the two people's heads and go there like this.
But after he suddenly met bandits here tonight and learned that one of the bandits was named Liao Hua, Liu Cheng had some other ideas in his mind.
If you want to do something, soldiers and horses are indispensable.
In this era, as Dong Zhuo suddenly entered Luo and set aside the table, everyone began to stop talking about the rules and started talking about fists instead.
And for some reason I don't know, the force value is obviously not low.
Under such circumstances, it is essential to lead the troops yourself at the right time.
In this case, why not take the opportunity to gather some people at this time?
In this case, after I meet Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao's head, my starting point will be much higher, so that I won't have no manpower available.
Not to mention the rest, let’s just talk about Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who were both the queens of Zhongshan King Jing. If they first responded to the imperial court’s call to suppress the Yellow Turbans, they did not first recruit the two fierce generals Guan and Zhang, and then recruited many local warriors before going to defect to Liu Yan.
Even if he were Lu Zhi's student, he would not have achieved such a status at the beginning and be able to stand out quickly.
At this time, Liu Chenggong had the idea of recruiting Liao Hua.
Although Liao Hua's reputation is far inferior to that of a tiger general like Guan Zhang, he can still survive if he can't stand this guy!
And he is also a growing talent.
In the later period, he seemed to have become a general of the Shu Kingdom.
Compared with the first-class famous generals, he is indeed a bit inferior, but he is still a very good and capable person.
If he can be subdued, coupled with the bandits he brought with him, it will be a great help to Liu Cheng now.
At least it won't be like now, riding a donkey, carrying a butcher's knife, and two rookies. When encountering some problems, you always have to work hard to solve them yourself.
In order to deal with Liao Hua, Liu Chengke made a lot of arrangements.
Especially the road into the village...
As Liu Cheng geared up, the torches that appeared in the dark night were approaching here.
Then Liu Chenggong was a little confused.
Because there are so many torches, they look like a long dragon at night!
Liu Cheng did a rough count and found that it was at least no less than three hundred!
He originally thought that the troops led by Liao Hua were similar to those of Du Yuan, only forty or fifty people, and if there were more, there would only be a hundred or so people.
Relying on his understanding of his own combat effectiveness in previous battles, and the assistance of these villagers who had already gained some courage, Liu Cheng was still very confident in defeating Liao Hua.
But now, things seem a little not so good!
Even less wonderful things are yet to come.
These bandits carrying torches came all the way towards Zhangjiacun. After approaching Zhangjiacun, they did not come from the main road at the entrance of the village as Liu Cheng had expected. Instead, they separated and surrounded the village on three sides.
!
Since the number of villagers was limited and their fighting power was limited, Liu Cheng concentrated them on the main road at the entrance of the village where thieves were most likely to travel in order to maximize their power.
Now, with Liao Hua's attack, the preparations Liu Cheng had made before were basically of no use!
When Liu Cheng was secretly anxious, holding the butcher's knife and quickly thinking of remedies to deal with emergencies, things changed again.
Located more than a hundred steps southeast of Liu Cheng and others, someone patted the horse and walked some distance forward.
This man was wearing armor, holding a gun in his hand, and had a flag behind him.
It was too dark and the torch illumination was limited, so I couldn't see clearly what was written on it.
Maybe they already knew what happened to Du Yuan before, so there were many people surrounding him to protect him.
"I am Liao Hua! Grand Commander of Nanshan!"
Under the firelight, this young-looking man spoke loudly.
"You have hurt the lives of my brothers in the mountains. Now that I have brought people here, I don't need to fight with you. I only need to give the order for all the brothers to throw the torches they hold towards the village, and you will die without a burial place."
!”
When Liao Hua said these words, Zhangjiacun suddenly became a little commotion.
Obviously, Liao Hua's words hit their weak point.
This is their village, and their lifelong belongings are here. These thieves do not need to fight with them. They only need to burn the village, and then they will have no way to survive!
Seeing this, Liao Hua paused for a moment and then said: "But I, Liao Huayou, am not a murderous person. You have killed some of my brothers in the mountain, and some of my brothers in the mountain have also killed some of you. This matter is considered nonsense."
Evened.
As long as you release the captured brother and let the man who captured my brother Du come out, today's matter will be solved!"
The villagers who were commotion couldn't help but become silent.
Liu Shui and Lu Yang, who were hiding with Liu Cheng, couldn't help but become nervous and looked at Liu Cheng.
This damn bandit leader actually targeted Liu Cheng directly!
These words were very clever. He directly forgave the villagers of Zhangjiacun and only looked for Liu Cheng!
In the past, when the life and property of these villagers were fatally threatened, they would naturally share the same hatred with Liu Cheng. But now, with the bandit leader saying this and picking Liu Cheng out alone, it would be very uncomfortable!
These villagers will most likely withdraw.
After all, they all have many concerns.
Things suddenly became urgent and became increasingly unfavorable to Liu Cheng.
The air became a little solid for a while, and Lu Yang even wanted to take Liu Cheng and run away at this moment!
However, Liu Cheng suddenly stood up from his hiding place unexpectedly.
"Liu is here! What do you want from me?
Could it be that they have more people and want to bully the few and capture Liu?
If that's the case, then just come!
If Liu frowns, he is not the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the Queen of Zhongshan Jing!"
