Chapter 71 Difficulty Traveling (1)(1/2)
The sun is shining and bright.
A team of infantrymen, protecting a carriage, came to the foot of Xiangxian County.
Xiang County is the capital of Pei County.
Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei to guard Pei County to prevent Lu Bu's attack. Pei County and Xuzhou were separated by a Sui River. To the east of Sui River was Xuzhou, and to the west it was Pei County. Liu Bei had previously stationed in Xiayi, but was later recruited by Cao Cao to Xudu, so he never came.
However, Liu Bei's failure does not mean that he does not send anyone.
Chen Dao went to his hometown in Runan to recruit soldiers, while Sun Gan was responsible for lobbying the famous scholars in Runan.
Sun Gan was a student of Zheng Xuan, and he was very beautiful and could speak well and was the best candidate for lobbyists. If Liu Bei wanted to gain a foothold in Pei County, he had to cooperate with all parties. Xu Yu of Long Kang was a member of the Xu clan in Haixi. Liu Bei had a good relationship with the Xu family in Haixi, so he naturally had to visit him. However, Xu Yu was under Yuan Shu. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Pei County, he still needed to be recognized by Cao Cao.
Therefore, the officials under Cao Cao also need to manage some things.
Sun Gan first visited Xu Yan, and then went straight to Ruyin.
According to his plan, he hoped to contact the officials of Runan through Zhu Cheng. But he did not expect that he would meet Liu Chuang in Ruyin. It was Sun Gan's unlucky, or that he was eager to vent his anger for Liu Bei, but he lost his life.
At this time, before Chen Dao returned to Pei County, he was in charge of Xiang County, another confidant of Liu Bei, Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe.
Jian Yong was Liu Bei's fellow townsman and the earliest strategist to follow Liu Bei, which was very popular with Liu Bei.
Moreover, Jian Yong was very calm when encountering problems, so Liu Bei was very relieved about him. After Jian Yong came to Xiang County, he strengthened the garrison of Xiang County.
When he learned that Liu Chuang had killed Sun Gan in Ruyin, he was also extremely surprised.
Thinking back to the beginning, when Liu Chuang went south to Jiangdong, everyone, including Jian Yong, believed that Liu Chuang would stay in Jiangdong and would not return to the Central Plains.
But I knew that this guy was killing him again after going around in circles.
Moreover, it was a coincidence that Liu Bei actually came to Peijun at this time.
The results of Runan's side have not yet been passed to Xiangxian County, but Jian Yong was very careful and prepared to confront Liu Chuang.
He had met Liu Chuang, but had never dealt with Liu Chuang.
When Qu Yang met, Liu Chuang and Zhang Fei had a conflict. Later, when Chen Dao returned to Xia Pi, he told Jian Yong that Liu Chuang was a talent.
But God knows why it turned into an enemy.
When Mi Zhu said that Liu Chuang was a slave of Mi family, Jian Yong did not believe it.
Because he knew that Liu Chuang had nothing to do with the Mi family... He wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Liu Bei at that time. He was just a woman, why bother to care too much? Liu Chuang's uncle and nephew were extremely brave and could compete with Zhang Fei. Such talents were also the talents that Liu Bei needed the most. It was really not worth losing two generals for a woman. At most, just comfort Mi Zhu, that's it!
But unexpectedly, Liu Chuang actually kidnapped Mrs. Gan.
The hatred between Liu Bei and Liu Chuang suddenly became irreconcilable.
The hatred of killing your father and the hatred of taking your wife!
If it is just Mihu, at most Mihu will be unable to get over the face and have nothing to do with Liu Bei. After all, Mihu married Liu Bei and did not cause any facts. There are only a few people who know about this. Even if Liu Bei likes Mihu, for the sake of Liu Chuang and Liu Yong, I believe that Liu Bei can give up his love, and may even stand up to mediate the conflict between Liu Chuang and Mihu.
But Mrs. Gan...
That is Liu Bei's wife who was married to a Ming mediator in Xuzhou. She was snatched away by Liu Chuang like this. How could Liu Bei have the face?
This hatred is so big!
"Where are the soldiers under the city?"
On the head of Xiang County, a defender shouted sternly.
The carriage stopped outside the city, and a soldier led by the leader whispered loudly under the city: "Who is the decision in the city now?"
Um?
Very ruthless!
Men Bo frowned and did not dare to neglect. While ordering people to inform Jian Yong immediately, he replied loudly: "The person in charge of the city is Jian joining the army, who are you?"
"Tell the Jian joins the army and say that we will escort the wife home on the order of my son."
"ah?"
The defender was also a little confused when he heard this.
Escort the lady?
He didn't know what to do, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Who is the young master? Where did this lady come from?
The Xiangxian County defenders naturally could not know that Liu Bei's wife was stolen. This kind of thing was too embarrassing. It would be reasonable to be captured by Lu Bu, but it would be too embarrassing to be kidnapped by a young boy. Therefore, except for some veterans who followed Xuzhou, many people did not know what happened. Just when the defenders were confused, Jian Yong had already arrived at the top of the city.
When he heard that the other party was sending him a wife, his heart suddenly blew.
Jian Yong quickly poked his head out and looked at the city.
The person in the lead was a burly man with a long black face and long body, a sturdy beard.
"Who is you? Who is the young master you are talking about?"
The black-faced man seemed very impatient and said sternly: "My son is Liu Chuang, the son of the Marquis of Zhongling. Your wife is in my hands. Do you want it or not?"
"this……"
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. My young master is very virtuous and just says to send his wife back... The wife is in the car, and it's up to you to decide whether to do so."
After the black-faced man finished speaking, he whistled, turned his head and left with the man.
Under the city tower, the carriage was parked alone.
Jian Yong hesitated for a moment, and saw that the black-faced man had gone away, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Come, drive the vehicle into the city."
Did Liu Chuang send Mrs. Gan back?
He was not fighting with Chang Nu and Li Tong in Ruyin. Could it be that he had escaped?
What does it mean when he sent Mrs. Gan back?
Or maybe, Liu Chuang knew that he was desperate, so he sent his wife back and wanted to ease his relationship with his lord?
Slowly, what did the black-faced man just say... the son of Marquis Zhongling?
Which Zhongling Hou?
Jian Yong suddenly felt that his head was not enough and almost turned into a pot of paste.
He walked down the city tower along the avenue. At this time, the city gate had been opened. A group of soldiers rushed out and drove the carriage to the city gate rolling hole.
"How come this car is so heavy?"
"Maybe there are gifts or something."
"It's quite possible."
Jian Yong had already arrived at the city and was about to meet him, but he saw a young general who suddenly blocked Jian Yong's way.
"Frankly, why stop me?"
The young general is Guan Ping, Guan Yu's eldest son.
"Shifu, something seems to be wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Guan Ping looked at the slowly moving carriage and whispered: "Don't the Father think that the carriage seems to be loading a lot, I'm afraid it's not my aunt."
Jian Yong was stunned and quickly looked up and watched.
He also discovered this problem, and suddenly shook the cicada and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop the carriage."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a whistle.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage of the carriage split into pieces, and several figures rushed out of the carriage.
It was about four or five people, but the leader was about 190 cm tall and had a majestic figure. He had a chubby round face and a bit of tenderness. He rushed out and went straight to the city gate. Before the defenders below the city gate could react, the Jiazi sword buzzed and blood flashed in an instant, and two bloody heads fell to the ground.
"Liu Chuang!"
Jian Yong and Guan Ping spoke in unison and exclaimed.
Behind Liu Chuang, there were four people including Taishi Ci, Liu Yong, Xu Sheng and Xiao Ling.
These five people looked like five tigers going down the mountain.
Liu Chuang rushed to the front with one horse, Taishi Ci and Liu Yong flew up and down, one shot and one spear. Xu Sheng and Xiao Ling followed closely with one sword. Five people rushed into the city gate with one rush, and Liu Chuang shouted, "Jian Yong, don't you take your life."
A man from Men thrust his gun and stabbed him, but he saw Liu Chuang's fat body flexibly turning around. The Jiazi sword raised up and chopped the man on the ground.
Guan Ping was furious and said, "I dare to cheat if I bear the master's slave."
He said, and then he pushed his knife and wanted to come forward to stop him.
But Jian Yong grabbed him and retreated while commanding the soldiers loudly: "Stop them and close the city gate for me."
"Father, what are you doing?"
Jian Yong hugged Guan Ping's neck and said viciously: "Fangzhi, now is not the time to fight.
Didn’t you see the man holding a spear behind Liu Chuang? He is probably the one who your third uncle is Liu Yong… This person is equal to your third uncle. Wouldn’t you go up and die for nothing? Command the troops quickly. I guess a thief army will come soon, and the trouble will be great at that time!”
Most of the soldiers and horses in Xiang County were stationed in the schoolyard.
The gatekeeper Ding at the city gate looked quite a lot, but in fact he was not very strong in combat.
Guan Ping suddenly woke up and quickly turned around and ran to the schoolyard. But before he could arrive at the schoolyard, he saw Jian Yong coming with his men with his hair disheveled.
"Stay it, go quickly!"
"What's wrong with Shifu?"
"The vanguards' forces are too strong, and there are thousands of people... The vanguard army has rushed into the city, and Xiangxian County can no longer stand firm. Please evacuate with me."
There are as many as a thousand people under Liu Chuang?
To be continued...
