Chapter 142: Ma Teng, Han Suidong, and Xu Huang's early show of power (two in one)
Liu Cheng took this matter extremely seriously.
After all, this seemingly simple matter was related to many of his plans.
Therefore, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Therefore, after some thinking, I found a few confidants in his army.
These people are Liu Cheng's personal guards, and during this period of time, they have already established extremely deep trust.
Liu Cheng, who is extremely capable of fighting and can lead his soldiers to charge into battle and win one victory after another, is the easiest person to gain the trust of his soldiers.
Not to mention, Liu Cheng usually has a better personality and has been deliberately using tricks to win people's hearts.
Under such circumstances, these people who were accepted by Liu Cheng as his personal guards had already become completely devoted to him.
This time, Liu Cheng personally cooked a pot of noodles, using the best mutton.
The noodles are wide and chewy, and when paired with a good noodle, it tastes amazing.
"If you want to eat, go get it yourself. You can eat as much as you can. They stand here motionless. Do they still want to wait for me to serve them?"
After Liu Cheng got himself a big bowl, he poured the sesame seeds on it, and while stirring, he gulped down the saliva, but for a while he suppressed himself from joining the food, and laughed and cursed out loud.
Hearing Liu Cheng's laughter and scolding, these Liu Cheng's personal guards immediately jumped to the side of the rice bowl, each picked up a large pottery bowl the size of a human head, and began to work.
After a while, one person held a large pointed bowl of noodles, stirred the noodles randomly for a few times, and squatted on the ground just like their leader Liu Cheng, eating and snoring, which was particularly enjoyable.
.
A group of people are all talented eaters, and in a short time, Liu Cheng was ready to eat so many wide noodles, as well as the sauerkraut, that they were all eaten up.
Among them, Zhang Cheng is the more shameless guy.
He was obviously so stuffed with food that he was groaning. He also said that the emperor's uncle was too stingy and didn't even have enough food.
After being laughed at and scolded by Liu Cheng for a few times, he smiled and stopped.
"Today, I have called you here because there are some extremely important things that I want to tell you."
After eating noodles and joking for a while, Liu Cheng started talking about business.
Seeing Liu Cheng speak seriously, the laughter on the faces of Zhang Cheng and others immediately disappeared, and they all became serious.
Liu Chenggong began to explain and arrange for them.
What he said is still related to the letter he sent home later.
After thinking about it, Liu Chengdu felt that it was unreliable to only rely on those people in the caravan formed by Liu Shui and Lu Yang. After all, this matter was too important to him.
So he found a few people in his personal guard who were capable and reliable in these matters.
Leave these matters to them specifically.
Let them be primarily responsible for these things.
In addition to them, Liu Cheng will later look for some soldiers who are greatly influenced by him, can be trusted, have been injured in previous battles, and are not suitable to participate in the battle, and let them withdraw from the army and join
Join the queue of sending letters home.
He will pay them food from the Taobao account to ensure that when they do these things, they can earn an income no less than what they get in the army and have enough food and clothing.
There are many benefits to doing this.
The first step is to find a job for these soldiers who are not suitable to stay in the army to continue to make a living.
Secondly, these people are all soldiers and have experienced a lot of fighting. Walking in this seemingly chaotic world, they have to be more adaptable than ordinary people.
Another thing is that these people were originally soldiers, and now they are generally more sensible and responsible than ordinary people when it comes to delivering family letters to soldiers.
Finally, these people are the ones who are deeply influenced by Liu Cheng and admire Liu Cheng more.
When such people send letters home, Liu Cheng does not need to explain anything deliberately. During the walk and when delivering letters home to the soldiers' homes, he will unconsciously tell these people that Liu Cheng
Uncle Liu Huang is also the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass.
This is a solution Liu Cheng came up with after some thinking.
Zhang Cheng and others seemed very reluctant to leave Liu Cheng as the coach and go to work elsewhere.
They didn't want to leave their commander.
However, they still beat their chests and assured Liu Cheng, the coach, that they would successfully complete the tasks assigned by Liu Cheng.
Because this is a task assigned to them by their commander-in-chief.
Because their extremely respected commander said that this was not leaving the team, but just changing places and continuing the battle in another way.
Moreover, their commander-in-chief also said that after the three-year period is over, if they still want to give up what they are doing, return to their commander-in-chief and continue to be personal guards, then their commander-in-chief will definitely agree!
Their commander-in-chief will not forget them and will always leave a place for them...
Zhang Cheng, the commander of the two hundred soldiers, was appointed by Liu Cheng to be the main person in charge of transporting family letters.
With Liu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, personally doing the mobilization work, a messenger brigade with a total of 301 people was quickly formed.
Under the leadership of Liu Cheng, they met with those in the caravan.
Liu Cheng brought them together and made further explanations and arrangements for them...
After a series of operations, the team, which was much larger than when they arrived, finally set off again, heading back the way they came.
Liu Cheng's letters to Liu Shui, Lu Yang, Cai Yan and others also followed the team back and forth...
…
At about the same time, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, who had finished licking his wounds, once again wrapped himself in his iconic red turban.
After offering wine to sacrifice Huang Gai and the other soldiers who had died in the previous battle at Sishui Pass, Sun Jian drew his sword and stood up.
Facing all the soldiers, he said loudly: "With thieves and ministers in power, the country is in danger of losing its eggs!
Yuan Shao issued a message to the world, calling on the people of the world to join forces to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty!
Yuan Jiujiu also has this intention.
Soldiers and horses from all over the world gathered together.
I thought I could defeat them all at once, but in the end, many soldiers and horses lost one after another within three months and were defeated!
So far, the thief has not been shaken!
I, Sun Jian, was also in front of Sishui Pass, first victorious and then defeated!
In the first battle, he lost his general Huang Gongfu and lost thousands of soldiers and horses!
What do you think, at this moment, faced with such a situation, what choice would I, Sun Jian, make?
Will you be afraid of this?
Won't!
I, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, am not such a cowardly person who cannot withstand failure!
My official position was granted by the Han Dynasty!
My parents and ancestors are all from the Han Dynasty!
The Han Dynasty is in such crisis, how can I be so content with it, but because of a single defeat, I am completely afraid to move forward?!
That’s not me, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai!!
This time, I must challenge Dong Gongsheng!
As long as Dong Zhuo doesn't die, I won't give up!
If I fail once, I will make a comeback!
I want to see if Dong Zhuo can be killed!"
"Please help me, gentlemen! Let's fight to the death together! Kill the Dong thieves to support the Han Dynasty!"
When Sun Jian said this, he actually knelt down on one knee directly facing many soldiers!
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and other leading generals were moved for a moment when they heard Sun Jian's words and saw Sun Jian's unexpected move.
They knelt down on one knee one after another facing Sun Jian.
Zu Mao's eyes were red and he shouted loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with the prefect!"
The rest of the soldiers also knelt down on one knee facing Sun Jian along with these generals. Along with Zu Mao, they shouted loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with the prefect!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the prefect!!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the prefect!!!"
Suddenly, the sound shook the field, and the fighting spirit soared to the sky!
Seeing this, Sun Jian kept kneeling on one knee for a while. Then, he cupped his hands in front of everyone and stood up.
"Gentlemen! Follow me on the expedition!"
He mounted his horse, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers!
The army moved in response and rolled away, heading straight for Luoyang!
…
Xiliang.
In front of Sishui Pass, the earth has begun to return to spring, but here in Xiliang, the north wind is still blowing the white grass on the ground.
Winter in Xiliang comes early and leaves late. The cold weather makes people particularly uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, the people gathered together ignored the cold outside, and their hearts were as hot as a ball of charcoal fire!
"Wen Yue! Now everyone in the world is attacking Dong Zhuo. This is your and my chance!
You and I can’t fall behind!”
In the camp tent and in the brazier, a raging fire burned, heating the entire tent.
No one knew whether it was because they were roasted by the fire or because of the aroused emotions. Their faces were all red. They spoke to the person opposite who was eating a leg of lamb and said this, with his voice full of excitement.
.
"Shucheng's words make sense!"
"This is indeed the truth!
Dong Zhuo, in the past, led troops and horses to represent the imperial court to destroy us, calling us rebels over and over again.
As a result, as soon as Emperor Ling died, he immediately rushed to Luoyang with his troops.
Depose the emperor, establish a new king, kill the queen mother...
This is really audacious!
Compared with us, this guy is a complete rebel!
Now that everyone in the world has raised an army to attack Dong, Dong's thieves will definitely be exhausted.
The defenses in Chang'an Sanfu and other areas are empty, so this is a good time for us to send troops!"
Han Sui, who was no longer the Third Master in Luoyang, was no longer the same man. After eating the mutton in his mouth, he ignored the grease on his face and hands and said to Ma Teng with a smile.
Ma Teng, who had eaten a piece of mutton chop, also laughed when he heard this: "We were regarded as traitors before and came to attack us. Now, it is our turn to stand before justice and attack Dong Zhuo, the most powerful thief in the world."
I surrender!
This is really a good reincarnation!"
"Yes, it's the way of heaven that brings reincarnation! Feng shui takes turns! Now, it's time for us loyal ministers and righteous men to send troops to show our loyalty!"
Han Sui responded with a smile.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the tent couldn't help laughing.
Behind Ma Teng, a young man who looked like a silver doll and looked about the same age as Liu Shui also laughed along with everyone...
During some joking, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others quickly reached a consensus and decided on a plan to send troops together to seize the opportunity to attack the Sanfu area of Chang'an.
Then he began to sharpen his sword, quickly mobilized troops, horses, food and grass, and began to prepare for this matter.
Following the actions of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, a storm quickly arose in Xiliang...
…
Here in Hedong County, a battle between Baibo bandits and Niu Fu has just ended.
The main battle took place between the Baibo bandit Yang Fengbu and Niu Fu's subordinate Zhang Jibu.
After a battle, Zhang Ji, who logically should have a higher combat power than Yang Feng and others, was actually defeated by Yang Feng!
Of course, this kind of defeat is not a big defeat, and it does not break the bones.
But this situation still had a great impact on Zhang Ji, Niu Fu and others.
When Niu Fu got the news and sent Li Jue and his troops to support Zhang Ji's troops, Yang Feng, who had gained a lot of advantage, had already led his troops and retreated from Zhang Ji's camp.
Faced with such a result, Niu Fu was so angry that he wanted to scream.
Back at Sishui Pass, it was okay for him to lose to brother Kede. After all, brother Kede was such a fierce general, and it was not a shame to be defeated by him.
Lu Bu, that guy who likes to play with the painted halberd in his hand whenever he has nothing to do, with his nostrils always pointing up, can't he also defeat Brother Kede?
But now, things are different.
What he faced was not a world-famous general, but a group of Baibo thieves led by the remnant of the Yellow Turban, Mrs. Guo!
They are just a group of bandits and bandits, and they have never fought against them!
Thinking about this matter makes Niu Fu feel aggrieved!
"...Originally, our side had the upper hand and was about to win. Who could have imagined that at this moment, a general from the Bai Bo bandit side suddenly rushed out and led his troops from the diagonal thrust.
Charge out.
This thief will be armed with a big ax and has very high combat power. The soldiers and horses he leads are also very elite, and he can grasp the opportunity of fighting well.
He led his troops to charge, and no one could stop him!
My nephew Zhang Xiu led his troops to fight and was wounded by this man. When the general was ready to mobilize his troops again to intercept, it was already too late..."
Here at Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, who had just lost a battle, lowered his head and reported the battle to Niu Fu.
"Do you remember the name of that thief general?"
Niu Fu suppressed the rolling emotions in his chest and asked aloud.
This thief general left a very deep impression on Zhang Ji, so after Zhang Ji heard what Niu Fu asked, he said directly without any thought: "The name of this man's flag is Xu Huang!
"
"Xu Huang?"
Niu Fu recited the name again, and then shook his head: "I have never heard of this person's name before, I think he is an unknown person..."
Niu Fu originally wanted to say that it was the unknown general, but thinking of the previous scene when he faced Brother Kede, Niu Fu swallowed the rest of his words...
