Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 372 Liangshan Pao 【Subscription】

Puzhou City was covered in clouds of war.

The Liangshan army had already surrounded the entire city, but they never launched a real strong attack.There were only two probing attacks these days, and only sporadic harassment after that.

However, there was a lot of jitters in the city of Puzhou.

The upper echelon of the Western Army, whose shock had calmed down a little, was even more uncertain.Some people want to fight against the city, such as the brothers of the Yang family and Wang Ting, who want to wash away their shame.In Puzhou City, the military supplies, food and fodder piled up like a mountain, not to mention the entire army, even the entire army and civilians in the city, it was enough for a year.It is completely doable.

But Yao Gu and Wang Lan are going to leave.He intends to return to his hometown to regroup, and then come to a showdown with the Liangshan bandits.

That Wang Yuan is a centrist, and like Liu Zhongwu, he hasn't made a statement yet.

As for Liu Guangshi, Guan Sheng, Qin Hui, Zhai brothers and others in this city, they are of no importance.

It's just that even though Liu Zhongwu succeeded in seizing power, it's not known whether he was an outsider and a defeated one. The city is still in chaos because of WeChat.

Some guys with a keen sense of smell fled to Xingren Mansion with their families when the situation was not good, fled to Huazhou further west, or even Puyang on the other side of the Yellow River.

But now the people in the city, after removing the former, there are still many wealthy families, and some of them even follow Tong Guan's army to "kill" and return to their hometowns.This kind of person and Liang Shanbo are sworn enemies, but they are even more afraid of Puzhou City being broken.In addition to those who have always stayed in the city, but have some connections, these people do not go to the magistrate's yamen where Liu Zhongwu is entrenched, but always go to the Juancheng County yamen to inquire about news.

After all, paper can't contain the fire. Rumors that someone in the upper echelons will abandon Puzhou and break out of the encirclement early are flying everywhere!It is said that the officers and soldiers are going to flee, and they will teach all the money, food and soldiers in Puzhou City to the Liangshan bandits in exchange for a way out.This kind of 'vicious' rumors are spread all over the streets, and fear is spreading in Puzhou City like a plague...

"General Liu! General Liu!" Qin Hui chased after Liu Guangshi's buttocks and kept calling.This "conscientious" parent officer seemed to have been running outside for a long time. In such weather, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Qin Xianggong, what's the matter?" Liu Guangshi was not much better, his face was full of tiredness.He hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, not only his cheeks became more swollen, but he also became irritable.

After Liu Zhongwu entered Puzhou City, he immediately seized his power and issued an order to summon Lei Ze's Jingxi Xiangyong to return to Puzhou.However, Liu Guangshi was not allowed to go down to have a good rest. Instead, he was sent by a patrol envoy to stabilize the city's law and order.But before Liu Guangshi actually patrolled the city, the latter had to hand over the account books of all kinds of food, fodder and military supplies, and then checked them one by one with Liu Xi, the supervisor sent by Liu Zhongwu.

Liu Zhongwu is a bit bullying the small with the big.

Now, Liu Guangshi still has an arsenal stocked with arrows and crossbows, and the forage in the forage field has not been counted. How can Liu Guangshi, who is in such a bad mood, bother to pay attention to Qin Hui?

But Qin Hui was also anxious. "Last night, the Liu's house in the east of the city, the Zhang's house in the south of the city, and the Du's house were broken into by gangsters. More than [-] people were killed or injured, and a large amount of money and fines were robbed. In five days, this is the tenth murder case. In this way, there must be chaos in the market...”

If something like this happened, if Qin Hui didn't come to look for Liu Guangshi, the patrol envoy, who else could he look for?How can those other vulgar Qiu Ba care about him as a magistrate?
"Straight mother thief! This group of pickled sprites take advantage of the chaos to rob, and if they are caught, they will be punished immediately!" Liu Guangshi did not go to pick up Qin Hui's file on the ground, but sat on the chair, gnashing his teeth angrily and cursed.But then there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he shouted outside: "Go! Report this matter to Manager Liu, and tell him to send a battalion of troops to Guan Sheng, and come quickly to prepare the report. People's hearts are chaotic, if you don't shake it, I'm afraid it will be reversed!"

Seeing his furious appearance, Qin Hui didn't dare to say any more, and seeing that there would be an extra battalion of troops, the law and order in the city would definitely be stabilized, so he was happy to accept it.

The massacre occurred, and the impact was too bad. People in the city were panicked. If it wasn't contained, the city of Puzhou might be in chaos first.

Then Liu Zhongwu gathered the defeated soldiers, and set up barracks around the city, and brought all the defeated soldiers and the original troops of Puzhou into the camp for training. These days, although Puzhou City clearly has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are no soldiers in the city. Patrols began to give those criminals an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, this matter is not the only purpose of Qin Hui's coming to Liu Guangshi today. He tentatively said, "General Liu, there have been rumors in the city recently. I wonder if General Manager Liu can come forward to refute the rumors?"

Liu Guangshi had a headache when he heard this, so he refuted the rumors?He still hasn't figured out which sentence is a rumor!

Liu Guangshi has already been excluded from the core of power in Puzhou City. He doesn't know some things himself, so how can he refute the rumors?And looking at Qin Hui's donkey face with a hint of expectation, is this rumor refusing to the common people, or is he himself?There is really nothing good about scholars.

After Liu Zhongwu got the report, he was also furious. These days, apart from checking supplies and military supplies, he was doing his best to rectify the defeated troops. He didn't have much to do with the affairs of Puzhou City, but he didn't expect the city to become so chaotic.It is inevitable that it is imperative to rectify it.But when Liu Guangshi mentioned Guan Dadao, he laughed.

Just called Liu Xi to take his warrant to transfer two battalions of soldiers and horses to Liu Guangshi.

Liu Zhongwu didn't want to really bear the name of bullying children.He had originally prepared two battalions of soldiers to be dispatched by Liu Guangshi who bore the title of City Patrol Envoy, but Guan Sheng was different.

When Liu Guangshi mentioned Guan Sheng, he was asking for favors, so Liu Zhongwu returned them to him.

His youngest son admired Guan Sheng very much, but earlier Liu Zhongwu considered Tong Guan's opinion in the army, so he didn't recruit him for his own use.

Now Tong Guan is far away in Daming Mansion, where he is the master of the house, so Liu Zhongwu used the excuse of reorganizing the army to transfer Guan Sheng to his side.Although this man's name of 'Mould Star Gaozhao' does make him a bit of an eyesore, it cannot be denied that Guan Sheng's appearance comparable to his ancestors is too suitable for a warrior.Moreover, he has excellent martial arts skills, and he is also proficient in military art, so he is a proper military strategist.

He can allocate two battalions of soldiers to Liu Guangshi, and ask Liu Guangshi to say that one wins two, so that Guan Sheng will be completely included under Liu Zhongwu's command.

At this time, a military attache in military uniform rushed into the hall, clasped his fists and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Report! Another Liangshan bandit soldier came from the Yellow River waterway. I saw that there were a lot of stone cannons on board."

The biggest crisis for the Puzhou government and army is coming.Why didn't the Liangshan Army attack Puzhou? This was waiting for the Liangshan Cannon.

Earlier, Lu Qian placed the Liangshan cannons in Liangshan Bo Dazhai and Dongping Mansion, as well as Yidu in Qingzhou.But it was preparing for a decisive battle.

If the big army is unfavorable in the fight with Tong Guan, Lu Qian will lead the soldiers back to Liangshanpo first, leaving the partial division to defend here, and then the main force will retreat eastward along the Jishui River by boat, resisting steadily.He would like to see how the military discipline of the Western Army is.

According to the old Zhao family's tradition of suppressing rebels, it is commonplace to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, to plunder and harass the local area, and to force the children to become thieves. It is not allowed that the strength of the Liangshan Army will continue to increase.

Therefore, the stone cannons in Liangshanbo are all in Liangshan Dazhai, Dongping Fucheng, and Qingzhou Yidu City.Even in Jeju City, there is not a single one.

In order to transport the stone cannons out of Liangshanbo, they must first be disassembled, then transported by water to Dong'e County, then transported by land to the north to the bank of the Yellow River, and then transported to Puzhou by the Yellow River waterway.Although it is more convenient than transporting by land from Qinghe County to the city of Puzhou, it also requires a lot of turnover.

Liu Zhongwu's expression changed.He had heard about the powerful stone cannons in Liangshanbo, but he had never seen them before. Although he was worried, he also had a little bit of luck.Now it seems that this fluke is gone.

A few days ago, they stood still and watched them rectify the rout, but they also used so many days to transport the stone cannons.

Liu Zhongwu waved his hand to signal the officer to back down.There was real sadness on his face.Why is it difficult for him to decide between fighting and walking?That's why.

Liangshan Pao is famous, Liu Guangshi and Liu Qi are both victims, so it is natural to tell him, so can Puzhou City resist it?
Or when he was guarding Jeju like the Liang bandits, he also built a lot of wooden buildings, but no one can guarantee that it will be really effective.If the wooden building did not exist, Puzhou City would have been captured by Liangshan bandits...

Liu Zhongwu absolutely didn't want to see the scene where all the people died for the country.This is the side he wants to go.

But once he left, the reputation accumulated by generations of people in the Western Army could no longer be restored.Unless the Western Army comes back next time and wipes out the Liangshan bandits in one battle, this shame will really be nailed to the Western Army.

And when he left, he didn't say if he died in the breakout. If he could escape alive, there was still the court's law waiting for him.Now that Tong Guan can't protect himself, he can't take the blame for him again.He might not have the good luck he had back then.

Liu Zhongwu thought for a long time, and in the end he was really afraid of Zhao Ji's knife.

The death of Gao Yongnian back then put him on the current official blacklist.At that time, the leader of the Qingtang Qiang people, Xisuo Luosa, together with the four supervisors of the Western Xia Dynasty, forced Xuanwei City, and Gao Yongnian sent troops to rescue.As a result, after only traveling for thirty miles, Gao Yongnian was backlashed by the Qiang soldiers under his tent. The latter were the familiar Qiang that Gao Yongnian had taken in at the beginning. Gao Yongnian trusted them a lot, but he unexpectedly rebelled at this time.As a result, a generation of famous generals was captured without a fight, and was later killed by Qingqiang prince Doroba.

Liu Zhongwu, as the deputy general, followed Gao Yongnian to rescue Xuanwei City. After Gao Yongnian was killed, he, as the deputy general of the army, not only failed to stabilize the morale of the army and continued to complete the rescue mission, but fled all the way back to Xining, watching Xuanwei City besieged.It was not until two months later that other generals led troops to resolve it.When this matter reached Zhao Ji's ears, he was furious, and immediately named out the names of the eighteen generals in Gao Yongnian's army.

According to the guilt, Liu Zhongwu would have at least been sentenced to exile, but because he bribed Tong Guan with a lot of money, not only did he not exile, but instead took the position of his former boss Gao Yongnian.This can be said to be the first thrilling event in Liu Zhongwu's life, and it is also a turning point in his life.

More than ten years have passed like this, and he still remembers it clearly.And it was precisely because of this that he was even more unwilling to be questioned by the court.

However, if Yang Keshi, Yang Kesheng, Wang Zhi, Wang Shan, Wang Yuan, Yao Gu, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Xi, and Liu Guangshi are killed, the backbone of the Western Army will be destroyed. Half go.

Therefore, Liu Zhongwu was always hesitant about whether to fight or go.But now, Liang Shanbo's butcher knife has come out, and he has to make a decision between fighting or going.

Liu Zhongwu's complexion changed, and he had a plan in mind for a while.

"Soldiers will block the water and cover them with soil. Measure the virtues and abilities of the bandits in Liangshan. Can they make magical weapons?"

A group of people gathered together, and after hearing what Liu Zhongwu said, Wang Ting was the first to express his indifference.Brothers Yang Keshi and Yang Kesheng followed closely behind, waving the flag and shouting.

As staunch defenders, the three of them had a will as hard as steel, and they were not moved by Liang Shanpao at all.As for Liu Zhongwu himself, he had to make a choice when things came to an end, and he had a plan in mind at this time.
