Chapter four hundred and eighteenth come to defect
Zhu You said arrogantly: "When did I ask for a reward from the lord? Of course the lord gave it to me!"
Deng Yu said oh, blinked, nodded with a smile, turned and walked away. Seeing this, everyone chased after Deng Yu and asked: "Zhonghua, you don't care about the persuasion?"
"Since the lord has a plan in mind, we don't have to worry about it anymore." Zhu You persuaded him and was scolded by the lord, but then the lord gave him a precious piece of leather. Obviously the lord did not mean to blame Zhu You, nor did he. In other words, the lord also has the intention to take over, but the time is not yet ripe.
At that time, only high-ranking officials could afford lambskin, mink, etc., while ordinary people usually wore sheepskin, deerskin, etc., and the poorer ones could only wear thicker linen clothes.
The day after Liu Xiu's troops arrived on the other side of Anxian, before dawn, Liu Xiu was woken up by Long Zhun outside the camp. Liu Xiu opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Long Zhun outside the camp said: "My lord, Master Yao wants to see you!"
Liu Xiu's heart moved, and he immediately sat up from the bed and said, "Please come in quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the camp was lifted, and Yao Qi walked in from the outside. When he arrived at the bed, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord, there is something happening in Anxian!"
Liu Xiu immediately asked: "What's going on?"
Yao Qi said sternly: "At around 9:00 this morning, a carriage left Anxian along the north bank of Qishui River, heading west. It seems that it was going to Lunu!"
Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just one carriage?"
"Exactly!"
"This is strange." Both Liu Xiu and Deng Yu speculated that Peng Ning's target might be Lunu, the county town, but how many people could fit in a carriage and only one carriage wanted to attack Lunu secretly? ?
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu asked: "Do you know who is in the carriage?"
Yao Qi shook his head and said: "The carriage was out of danger and did not stop. The people in the car did not show up. The scouts could not identify who was in the car."
Liu Xiu asked: "Have you sent anyone to follow that carriage?"
Yao Qi responded: "Yes, there are three groups of brothers tracking the carriage's whereabouts."
"Very good! Keep an eye on it and the people in the car. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Peng Ning's gourd."
Yao Qi's guess was correct. The carriage that set off from Anxian in the dark before dawn was indeed destined for Lu Nu. However, the people in the carriage were not going to attack Lu Nu. Lu Nu surrendered.
There were only three people in the carriage, one was the driver, and the other two were Sun Cang and Wei Bao.
Sun Cang and Wei Bao were originally county officials of Shanggu County. Later, they followed Geng Yan to Chang'an to meet Liu Xuan. As a result, Wang Lang proclaimed himself emperor on the way, so they abandoned Geng Yan and secretly ran to Handan. Take refuge with Wang Lang.
This time, the two of them were originally following Yan Feng on the expedition. For some unknown reason, they abandoned Yan Feng and went to Peng Ning's side instead.
Let's say that Sun Cang and Wei Bao arrived on the other side of Lunu in a carriage. It was already dark and they couldn't find the boatman, so they had to stay in the carriage for one night.
The next morning, before the ice in the river had melted, the two abandoned their carriage and walked across the river to the north gate of Lunu.
When they approached the North City Gate, someone on the top of the city shouted loudly: "Don't go any further! Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Sun Cang bowed his hands to the defenders at the top of the city and said, "I am Sun Cang, a subordinate of Shanggu County. This is Shi Weibao, a subordinate of Shanggu County. The two of us have made a special trip to see Governor Liu!"
The soldiers at the top of the city heard that they were both officials of Shanggu County and did not dare to neglect them. They said, "You two adults will wait outside the city for a moment. The younger one will go and report to the prefect!"
After half an hour, Liu Jun's figure appeared on the top of the city.
Liu Jun naturally knew Sun Cang and Wei Bao. He held his hand on the arrow stack, poked his head out, and took a look outside the city. The two people standing alone outside the city, shivering from the cold, were not Sun Cang and Wei Bao or someone else.
?
After looking at it, he frowned secretly and murmured in his heart, didn't Sun Cang and Wei Bao go to seek refuge with Wang Lang? Why did his Lu Nu come here now? He asked: "There is Sun Men's subordinate outside the city, and Wei Men's history?"
"
Menxiapu and Menxiashi are both middle and low-level officials in the county government. They have no real power. Their daily work is to handle paperwork and do odd jobs.
If the chief secretary is a senior secretary, then the mentee, mentee history, etc., are ordinary secretaries and ordinary assistants.
Sun Cang and Wei Bao coincidentally walked a few steps closer to the city wall. When they looked up, they saw clearly that the person on the top of the city wall was Liu Jun. Their eyes turned red, they both raised their hands and saluted, saying: "Bye bye, little man."
Governor Liu!"
Liu Jun almost became angry and said angrily: "I heard from Bo Zhao that Masters Sun and Wei had already gone to Handan to join Wang Lang!"
Hearing this, Sun Cang's eyes turned red and he choked up and said, "It's the villain who made a mistake. He shouldn't have been so obsessed with it that he mistakenly believed in the rumors and made a big mistake! We thought Wang Lang was kind, but he turned out to be a jealous and capable person.
, I went to defect, but Wang Lang assigned the two of us to the army, and only allowed me to be the commander of the village and lead the army..."
In the structure of the Han army, the commander of the camp was a leader of 100 people, and the leader of the team was a leader of 50 people. They were all junior officers at the bottom.
After Sun Cang finished speaking, Liu Jun sneered in his heart, saying that Wang Lang was jealous of talents was a lie, but complaining that the official positions Wang Lang gave them were too small was true.
Speaking of which, Wang Lang was indeed stingy. No matter how bad Sun Cang Wei and Bao were, they were also middle-level officials in the county government and went to seek refuge with him. Instead of letting them continue to be civil servants, he even transferred them to the army.
Be the commander of the village and lead the troops.
Liu Jun asked slowly: "Then why did you two come to Lu Nu to find me?"
Sun Cang and Wei Bao raised their hands and said, "This villain has made a special trip to seek refuge with Prefect Liu!"
"Take refuge in me?" Liu Jun looked up and smiled and said, "Why don't you two go back to Shanggu and come to seek refuge in me?"
Sun Cang said: "We made a big mistake this time. When we return to Shanggu, Governor Geng will definitely punish us. We... really don't dare to go back!"
Liu Jun thought for a while and asked, "Where are you two from?"
"Safety!"
"There is a garrison of Da Sima on the other side of Anxian. Why don't you two go to Da Sima instead, instead of looking far away, come to Lunu to find me?"
Sun Cang sniffed and said: "We have thought about defecting to Da Sima, but Da Sima doesn't know us at all. If we go, I am afraid that not only will we not gain Da Sima's trust, but also...
We will be regarded as spies by the Grand Sima, and we will be executed!"
Liu Jun nodded. Sun Cang's concerns were reasonable. In fact, it was indeed the case. He looked at the two people outside the city and remained silent for a long time. Now is the time when his own side is employing people. Someone came to vote for him, but he didn't.
The reason for rejection is that Sun Cang and Wei Bao are both officials of Shanggu County, and they are both Geng Kuang's people. If I accept them now, it will not be easy to explain to Geng Kuang.
When Liu Jun was undecided, Sun Cang reached into his arms, took out a parchment, and said: "Prefect Liu, in order to make up for his mistakes and show our sincerity, I specially drew a safe city defense map. In addition, I also drew a safe city defense map.
Maps the place where Pennin’s grain and grass are stored.”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jun's heart was shocked, and he could not help but lean out of the city. An's city defense map, as well as the grain and grass storage areas of Penning's tribe, were extremely important information for his side.
Especially the place where grain and grass are stored, once our side controls it, we can launch an effective sneak attack and destroy the grain and grass of the Penning tribe. No matter how many troops the Penning tribe has, their morale will plummet and their morale will be in chaos, which will be very beneficial to our own side.
At this time, Liu Jun's mind was racing. Da Sima led the troops to fight while he was guarding Lunu. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem to have made any decent achievements.
If he could deliver the safe city defense map and the grain storage area of Penning Department to the hands of Da Sima, then he would undoubtedly have made a great contribution.
Thinking of this, Liu Jun's heart beat faster, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface and said in a calm tone: "How do I know whether the picture in your hand is genuine or fake?"
Sun Cang and Wei Bao had the same look on their faces. They looked at each other and said in unison: "I can swear to heaven that if this picture is false, I, and even my family members, will be punished by heaven and earth, and they will all die without a burial."
place!"
The oaths they swore were quite vicious. Not only did they count themselves, but also the whole family. After hearing this, Liu Jun no longer hesitated and said to his subordinates: "Open the city gate and let them go."
Enter the city!"
At this time, Liu Jun was only thinking about getting the map drawn by Sun Cang and Wei Bao, and completely forgot about Liu Xiu's instructions to him before leaving, "No one is allowed to put it into the city."
Moreover, Liu Jun did not even think about it. When Sun Cang and Wei Bao defected to Handan, they did not care about the life and death of their family members in Shanggu. How important was the life and death of their family members in their minds?
As the city gate opened, Sun Cang and Wei Bao entered the city. After seeing Liu Jun, they both knelt down, kowtowed forward, and choked with sobs: "Thank you, Prefect Liu, for taking us in regardless of the past.
I would like to thank Governor Liu for this!"
Liu Jun waved his hands to the two of them and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Prefect Liu!" Sun Cang and Wei Bao stood up. The former rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly: "Prefect Liu, to be honest, my two brothers came to Lunu overnight, and they have been there for a day.
I haven't eaten yet, Governor Liu, look at it now..."
Liu Jun rolled his eyes at the two of them, and while walking towards his carriage, he said, "You two should come to my house and sit down first!"
"Thank you, Prefect Liu! Thank you, Prefect Liu!" Sun Cang and Wei Bao nodded and bowed and smiled in apology.
There was no conversation all the way, so Liu Jun took Sun Cang and Wei Bao to his residence. Then, he had people prepare wine and food to entertain Sun Cang and Wei Bao.
During the meal, Liu Jun asked them a lot about the situation in Handan and the Yan Feng and Penning tribes.
As long as Sun Cang and Wei Bao knew about it, they would be silent about it.
Liu Jun was not a fool. He knew the answers to many of the questions he asked. He just wanted to hear how Sun Cang and Wei Bao answered, so as to judge whether they were really surrendering or pretending to surrender.
In the end, Liu Jun was quite satisfied. The answers given by Sun Cang and Wei Bao were similar to what he knew. After Sun Cang and Wei Bao had finished drinking and eating, Sun Cang took out the parchment scroll from his arms and said respectfully
He respectfully handed it to Liu Jun and said cautiously: "Prefect Liu, in order to draw this map, my two brothers risked losing their heads!"
Liu Jun knew that he was asking for credit, so he shook the parchment in his hand, smiled calmly, and said: "As long as the information in it is true, I will naturally keep your achievements in mind!"
