Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2032 The morale of the army is floating, hiding whereabouts

"Cai Mao has been conferred! 』

"Cai's navy has been defeated! 』

With the publicity of the good news, Liu Cong was in high spirits.

Everyone has ambition, even Liu Cong.

When Liu Cong boarded the city wall of Xiangyang to inspect, behind him was a tall Jingzhou soldier holding a high banner, embroidered with golden characters on a red background, shining in a graceful and luxurious color.

It is also written "Liu", but with such a golden brilliance, people can tell at a glance that the person under the flag is not an ordinary person, it is the Liu family, the master of Jingxiang.

There were [-] soldiers around Liu Cong, each of them followed Liu Cong, their backs were straight, their armor was complete, and they walked like karaoke, majestic and majestic.Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, plus they are the soldiers of the Liu family, no matter in size or equipment, they are naturally carefully selected, and they also have an astonishing posture while marching.

The ordinary soldiers on duty above and below the city wall saw Liu Cong and his party stepping forward, so they naturally gave way one after another, not daring to come forward to harass and talk.

Liu Cong was wearing a military uniform, with a pocket on his head, and the painted armor was like a mirror, making everything around him seem smaller, but he looked a bit heroic.Seeing that the people he saw on the road were all respectful, Liu Cong was unavoidably proud of himself, and his body straightened by three points. If he waved to the soldiers and the people along the way, he shouted a few hard work...

Of course, if Liu Cong really had this kind of awareness, he wouldn't be Liu Cong anymore.Liu Cong just passed by with his head held high, no one in his eyes.

Wen Pin followed behind Liu Cong, seeing Liu Cong's complacent energy seemed to fly from his face and overflow from the pores of his body, but he lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

Xiangyang City, if you say it is big, it is also big, and if you say it is small, it is also small.

Yesterday Kuai paid a visit to Liu Biao and broke up unhappy.

Soon the news of Jiangling's fall spread like wildfire.

On behalf of Liu Biao, Liu Cong visited the city...

Then spread some news about Cai Mao's defeat, but he couldn't see Cai Mao's head, even if there is a pocket dog belonging to Cai Mao...

Does Wenpin need to guess more about the meaning contained in this?For the past few days, the whole of Jingzhou has been in a state of stormy weather. The Liu's Building is on the verge of falling, but no one knows whether it will fall on the head of that unlucky ghost.

Wenpin followed behind Liu Cong, while Pang Ji was one step behind Wenpin.

Wen Pin turned his head slightly, glanced at Pang Ji, his expression remained motionless, but his eyes turned slightly towards Liu Cong.

Pang Ji saw Wenpin's wink, but lowered his eyes, still with his sleeves folded, following step by step.

Wen Pin frowned, took a step back, and met Pang Ji's eyes again.

Pang Ji also frowned, shaking his head slowly.Are you kidding me, Fu Xun has been arrested, how much do you want to do?

Wen Pin looked at Liu Cong in front again, seeing the complacency that could not be concealed in Liu Cong's expression, sighed, and ignored Pang Ji, stepped forward a few steps, and walked to Liu Cong's side, reluctantly Putting on some smiles, he cupped his hands and said, "How about watching the soldiers, my lord?"Can it be used? 』

Liu Cong thought that Wenpin was just being polite or asking for credit, so he chuckled and nodded reservedly.

Wenpin felt anxious, but was speechless for a while.

Now the situation has changed greatly, Jiangling has fallen, it can be said that Jingzhou has lost half of it, there are strong enemies outside, and there are disputes inside, Wenpin can even think that if it is true that no matter which side the soldiers are, one day when the soldiers come to the city, it must be internal and external. Frying, it will fall apart in no time!
But even in such a situation, when Liu Cong arrived at the city, he still felt that he could hold his ground without any danger. It seemed that he only needed to hold on to Xiangyang. care.

As for the harsh situation and the tragic battle, it seems that Liu Cong is far away...

Walking on the city is like strolling in the courtyard.If it is true that the Cai family is defeated, how come it is necessary to boost the morale of the soldiers and talk about rewards or something?The result is that there is no one. Seeing that most of the circle has walked down, is it really regarded as an after-meal digestion?

It's not that Liu Biao doesn't understand these things. The problem is that Liu Biao is really unwell. Sitting in the hall with thick powder on his face, it's okay to see from a distance. If he wears armor on the top of the city, even if he is not People can see the flaws on the face, walking down in such a big circle, it may directly kill the old man!

So Liu Biao can only ask Liu Cong to act on his behalf, but he told Liu Cong that he should inspire the army, understand?Liu Cong understood.

Liu Biao thought Liu Cong understood.Or knowing that Liu Cong may not understand, but Liu Biao has no choice.

Liu Cong also thought he understood, and in his heart, walking around like this would boost his morale.As for something more detailed, why do it?If you do it yourself, then why do you need Wenpin and others?
Regarding Wenpin's questioning, Liu Cong only thought that Wenpin was asking about strategies, so he smiled and said: "There is a strong city here, and sent out sentries to watch the incoming army, and prepare more rolling logs, stones, arrows, and kerosene." , if there are really arrogant people who dare to come here, they will surely collapse after being unable to attack for a long time. At that time, they will go out of the city to pursue them, and they will definitely win a big victory! 』

"What you said...it's really..." Wen Pin looked at Liu Cong fixedly, "you think... the enemy is really vulnerable? 』

Hearing this, Liu Cong frowned and looked at Wen Pin, "General Wen, what do you think?" 』

Wen Pin shook off the hem of the clothes that Pang Ji was secretly tugging behind him, and said in a low voice, "I don't care whether the invading enemy is vulnerable or not, the most urgent thing is to be in the city!"Once the refusal is unfavorable, things will definitely change!The young master made calculations in the morning! 』

Do you want to say that those people in Xiangyang City will live and die with Jingzhou or Xiangyang City?The city exists and the people live, but the city is dead and the people are dead?
Hehe, even if they are beaten to death, they can't do it. If the momentum is wrong, these people can just turn in the direction of the chrysanthemum, why bother to beat them to death?And who would hang himself on a tree in the Liu family?
Don't look at being obsequious in front of Liu Biao and Liu Cong now, if Liu Biao and Liu Cong can't hold on anymore, these people will also immediately scramble to bow down at the feet of others!

Looking at Liu Cong's confused and blank eyes, Wen Pin just sighed in his heart.

No matter in appearance or etiquette, this noble son of the Liu family is first-class. Even if he is taken among all the gentry peers in Jingxiang, he stands out from the crowd.

But if you put aside your appearance and manners...

You must know that in this world, there are not only open robbers, but also secret cheapness!

But looking at Liu Cong now, he looks full of confidence. It's no wonder that he has never suffered setbacks, and he has been going smoothly since he was a child. How can Liu Cong be full of confidence in himself and in this world?

However, a war cannot be won by self-confidence alone!What is needed is repeated calculations, and even humiliation, as if walking on thin ice, with subordinates serving to die, colleagues working together, and decisiveness at critical moments!
And how could all this be understood by Liu Cong?

Liu Cong asked suspiciously: "But the military resources are insufficient?Or is there not enough equipment? 』

Wenpin shook his head, and just said in a low voice: "It's the military spirit... Young Master! 』There is no thought of fighting to the death in the city!He has no intention of laying down his life for Mrs. Liu!On this point, no matter how powerful Wenpin is, no matter how strategic he is, it is impossible to do it instead of Mrs. Liu...

Wenpin can fight against external enemies, but internal enemies can only be dealt with by Mrs. Liu himself!

Liu Cong frowned, and slowly turned his head to look around again.

After Pang Ji was thrown away by Wenpin, he lowered his head without saying a word, and shrank aside.

All the soldiers at the top of the city lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong looked around, and then approached Wenpin with some embarrassment, and carried forward the excellent quality of asking when he didn't understand, "This...General Wen, this military spirit...what is it?" 』

……╮(￣▽￣)╭……

Heluo.When the morning light was slightly bright, Le Jin crawled out of the nest with hands and feet, and then sat down on the hillside from a distance, and gradually there were noises and quarrels around.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos in Luoyang, most of the people who were originally in Sili were either relocated to Chang'an or fled to other places. Therefore, many original villages in Heluo were abandoned or fell into disrepair. Or it was hit by wind, water and rain, or even burned by wildfire. Basically, except for some ruined walls, there are only those weeds with strong vitality left.

But in a dilapidated village, I don't know when it started, and it became more popular.

Originally, under the dilapidated eaves and broken walls in the village, those who could live were also inhabited, but obviously, those dilapidated houses in a half-collapsed state were actually more dangerous, because no one knew that those trembling houses Will the earth embryo wall collapse directly in the middle of the night, and directly bury the refugees hiding under it to shelter from the wind and rain, even saving the straw mat coffins.

Therefore, Le Jin did not live in those villages, although in comparison, no matter how dilapidated the dilapidated eaves and broken walls in the deserted villages, they were more like houses than the nests he lived in.

It is not enough to just dig a hole for the ground nest, the depth should not be too deep, nor too shallow, about three feet is just right, and the place must be chosen, too loose or too damp will not work.A low wall of about two feet is built around it with adobe, and a few rafters are placed on the top, and then a raft made of branches is built, and the roof is covered with grass blades and mud.

Even better, they would even pull out the kang in the ground and put hay on it...

But no matter what, the earthy smell is indispensable. Every night when he sleeps, Le Jin feels as if he has entered a grave and died. Only when he sees the light the next day can he be regarded as alive again.

But Diwozi has the benefits of Diwozi.

One is covert.

As far as the eye can see, there are exactly the same mud monkeys all around, even if there are hussar scouts, most of them just wander around in the deserted village, basically they don't pay much attention to Diwozi.

Another one is convenience.

After all, Le Jin and the others are not refugees, some things still have to be hidden, and most of the refugees choose to rest in the deserted villages. After all, there are too many people, after all, the eyes are blurred. If someone is accidentally discovered, Le Jin and the others will lose their hiding. The meaning of whereabouts.

As the sun shone down, the barren village seemed to be temporarily separated from the hands of death, and it began to have some vitality.Some people took advantage of the dawn to explore and collect around, to see if they could get ahead of others and get more ingredients, but even so, more people were shaking numbly, dressed in rags, It's like a living corpse, more like a person.

Not long after, someone sat down in front of Le Jin, covering Le Jin, and then secretly handed over a piece of pancake.

Le Jin lowered his head slowly, held his head with one hand, and secretly gnawed on the pancakes.Looking at it from a distance, it looks like she is crying silently. There is no conflict with the surrounding situation, but the slightly strong body under the shabby clothes is somewhat inconsistent.

The pancakes are very dry, but there is bacon mixed in the middle. After eating a piece, mix some wild vegetable soup and drink a couple of sips later, and you will not be hungry for most of the day...

Ever since being teased by the Hussars, Le Jin has been the greatest shame in his life, and he wants to wash it off. So this time, Le Jin volunteered to join the refugees and arrived near Heluo .

Although it is said that Jizhou and Yuzhou have entered a stable period as a whole and no longer conquer each other, the cold spring at the beginning of the year has also caused people in many places to be in trouble, especially those families whose young and strong families were taken away. time, even more powerless to resist...

And these Jizhou people did not have a good opinion of Cao Cao.After all, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, it is said that tens of thousands of Jizhou children were killed.Of course, Cao Caoyue did do this, but most of the people don't know the specific situation, they just know the result, so they would rather flee from Jizhou than go to Cao Cao to pray for mercy.

Therefore, from the very beginning, most of these people went to Heluoguan. Along the way, these refugees who were originally disorderly also went through many scattered gatherings, and sometimes separated into two branches to go in different directions. Now, sometimes I can meet some other fleeing people.

Sometimes there will be some sons of the gentry, or even local soldiers, who will either arrest or buy some people, but most of them have no interest in the old and the weak, and the ones who are taken away are basically young men and women , perhaps in the eyes of these people, only young and strong men and women are valuable, and those old and weak are far from dead.

Although it is said that Guanzhong is good, these refugees who fled have no specific concept of how good Guanzhong is.They want to live more instinctively, no matter how hard it is, as long as they can survive.In addition, there are some folk rumors that Cao Jun will go to the countryside to catch "voles" when they have no food and grass, and make them into jerky...

As for the bacon in the pancakes that Le Jin ate, Le Jin himself didn't care much about whether it was real meat or not.

The knives and guns were buried in the ground, and they were carrying small knives with them at most.If knives were properly controlled in later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, such a dagger that is longer than a palm is just an irregular table knife, and it will not attract much attention.

After Le Jin finished eating the pancakes, he patted the subordinates in front of him. The subordinates understood, stood up, motioned slightly to Le Jin, and then walked away.

The sun listlessly climbed to the top of the tree, and more people got up. Not far away, a few people quarreled for unknown reasons, and then it quickly turned into a fight, while the surrounding people were basically dumbfounded. Ignore, not even a sign of onlookers.

This kind of situation basically happens every once in a while.

In a depressive environment, sometimes a little bit of trifles can trigger a huge and unknown anger. The thing that triggers the battle is often not the most important thing, but the process of the battle is often extremely tragic.

It's just that it's different from ordinary life. Often no one cares about the struggle among refugees, and no one will watch, and no one will make a fuss. Only the two sides of the battle are like stray wild dogs. Biting each other for a little bit of bone scum.

After a while, one of the fighting parties, with blood all over his face, staggered to his feet and staggered away...

After waiting for a while, the other one was still lying on the ground.

Le Jin frowned slightly.

Then after a while, another guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks touched it, and then he groped up and down on the man on the ground, took something and hid it in his arms, and began to pick at the man's only one. I can no longer see the original color of the robe...

Le Jin turned his head away, originally he didn't want to look at it anymore, but when the guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks started dragging his naked body towards the bushes in the distance, Le Jin couldn't help it, stood up, He gestured to one of his own soldiers.

In the current situation, who else would kindly dig a pit for someone to bury?I don’t know how many refugees died on the road, but basically they died there.Although Le Jin also knew that cannibalism was common among the refugees, but he still didn't want to see it under his nose.

A soldier nodded, then stood up, followed the sharp-billed monkey's cheek, and also entered the bushes, and came out again after a while.

"..." The soldier walked back to Le Jin, with a slight smell of blood on his body, and muttered something in a low voice, presumably because he wanted to address Le Jin subconsciously, and then held back, "Killed... 』

Le Jin nodded slightly.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, but did not leave directly.

Le Jin tilted his head slightly.

"...I don't know...how long..." the soldier hesitated and asked in a low voice.

It has been a while since Le Jin and his people have mixed around this refugee gathering point, but they have never moved.Although they brought some supplies and some daily consumption, some people would dress up as fishing boats and send them over by the big river, but after all, sleeping in a nest every day is not a very comfortable thing.

"almost.hold on. Le Jin said, after pausing for a moment, he felt that what he said seemed a bit perfunctory, so he added, "You and my brother alone, it is difficult to overcome the danger... we need to wait for the changes of the weather... don't worry, it will be soon... 』

Although the personal soldier didn't know what the exact time was, but he could somewhat understand what Le Jin meant, so he nodded, pretended to be nonchalant, and walked away.

Suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the distance, and then there was a faint sound of horseshoes. Le Jin immediately took a few steps, turned around and hid in the bushes, only peeping with half of his head exposed.

In less than a cup of tea, three scout cavalry came rushing from a distance, they didn't stop at all, they skipped the deserted village, and after a while, there were three more, and the speed was much slower, half-walking and half-stopping , stayed outside the barren village for a while before slowly moving forward, and after a while, five people came slowly, one of them had sharp eyes, scanning the surroundings like an eagle...

This is General Hussars' fixed scout detection queue!
Le Jin couldn't help but jump in his heart...
