Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 157 Soldiers Surround Liu He
As they were chatting, Zhang Yu came to the city wall holding her son Liu Zheng, followed by the two wives of Guan Yu and Cheng Liang.

"Yu'er, why are you here? It's cold, you'd better rest at home."

Liu He was a little surprised, but instinctively took Liu Zheng from Zhang Yu's arms. The boy was sleeping soundly now. Looking at the baby's cute pink face, his fatigue from the day and night seemed to disappear in an instant.

Zhang Yu said softly, "My husband loves me, and I know that. Although I am a woman, I also know what is right. Now that disaster has come, I should stand by my husband through thick and thin."

Zhang and Su Shi also said in unison: "Yes, I should serve my husband!"

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang's faces were filled with distress and relief.

Liu He laughed and said, "Haha, it's fine if you guys come, but why did you bring my slave with you? What does he, a kid of only a few months old, know?"

"My husband, you are wrong. Since I am your eldest son, I cannot live a comfortable life. Although I am still young, I should see how hard it is for you and your brothers. If a war breaks out in the future, I will hold you in my arms and wait for you to return victoriously under the city wall. I will never disturb you in battle."

Liu He hugged Zhang Yu and said, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

Guan Yu's wife, Zhang, waved her hand, and several followers came over carrying some plates.

"We women can't do much to help at this time. We can only prepare some breakfast and food. My husband and uncles should eat first so that they can have the strength to defend the city."

Su Shi also chimed in: "Yes, we have also arranged for those soldiers, and they will be sent to the top of the city soon."

"Haha, the three sisters-in-law are really thoughtful. I'm already hungry, so I won't be polite for now!"

Zhu Ye picked up a bowl of porridge, picked up a coarse rice cake, sat down on the spot, and started eating.

"Haha, you..."

Liu He smiled, picked up one and started eating, and Guan Yu and the others were no longer polite.

"Report..."

A voice interrupted everyone's meal, and a messenger quickly ran over.

"Report to the county magistrate, the heads of several families in the city have come together to ask for an audience, saying that they have brought wine and meat to entertain the troops, and are already at the foot of the city wall!"

"Oh? They really came just in time. We were just talking about breakfast when they arrived. Haha, brothers, follow me to greet them!"

Liu He brought Guan Yu and a few others down from the city wall, and saw that all the heads of the major families in the city, led by Liang Hao, were present, and some even brought their children with them.

Behind them followed a convoy of ox carts, which stretched through several streets, and the carts were loaded with wooden barrels, wine jars and other things.

When they saw Liu He coming, they hurried to greet him.

"I'd like to meet the county magistrate!"

Liu He bowed from a distance with a smile on his face.

"Oh my, not only did you spend so much money, but you also troubled me to come here in person. As a junior, I really feel ashamed to accept this honor!"

Liang Hao walked forward, smiling so hard that all the wrinkles on his face were almost pushed together.

"You are too polite, magistrate. Liang is the county magistrate of this county and also a commoner in the city. Now the Taiping Dao has rebelled without any reason and committed heinous crimes. As for the country, we should share the country's worries. As for the family, we should also work together to resist the foreign enemies and protect our homeland. It's just a little food, not worth mentioning!"

"Yes, yes, yesterday the county magistrate personally climbed the city wall and fought bloody battles to save the city. Although we are powerless and cannot follow the county magistrate, we also want to be loyal to the country!"

"Humph!"

Guan Yu, who was standing behind Liu He on the right, didn't like people from these aristocratic families. He glanced at them with his eyes squinting and snorted coldly.

"This..." Everyone felt awkward. "Hey, second brother, don't be rude! The family heads are so loyal, we should thank them!"

After saying that, he bowed to Liang Hao and others.

"He is the county magistrate, but I am not virtuous and I am weak. Now that the country is in great trouble, He needs to rely on you all!"

Liang Hao and others breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw Guan Yu's expression just now, they thought their secret had been leaked.

"If you care, you will be in chaos. If you care, you will be in chaos. All the people who know about this are in my house and are under strict surveillance. Besides, we are all in the same boat, so there is no reason for us to leak the secret."

Liang Hao wiped the few drops of cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly returned the gift.

"You are too polite, magistrate. If you don't mind, from now on, whenever there is a war, each of us will come to comfort the troops every day."

"Thank you very much. Come, bring the food and wine to the city wall and share it with the soldiers."

A dozen soldiers of the Anmin Army came over, and several followers followed behind Liang Hao. Together they moved the dozen carts of grain onto the city wall, leaving only empty ox carts.

"My Lord County Magistrate and the generals have worked hard, and it's time for you to eat something. If you're worried about not having enough food, don't worry. I'll have someone send some more over later. You must not go hungry."

"Yes, you are the pillars of this county. If you are hungry, how can you fight? Go and have some food quickly."

All the family heads hurriedly urged them to do so.

Cheng Liang patted his belly and said, "Oh, the family heads are so concerned about my belly. Hehe, I am biased against you guys on weekdays. Now it seems that I am wrong. I, Old Cheng, will apologize to you first!"

"No, no, General Cheng, you are too polite!"

Several family heads quickly returned the greetings.

"Hehe, yes, yes. Although I, Cheng Liang, am a rough man, I also know that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the great virtues of a person. If you eat other people's food, take other people's things, and do things to hurt other people behind their backs, you are worse than pigs and dogs, and you are a beast that deserves to be cut into pieces. Do you think what I, Cheng Liang, say is right?"

Liang Hao and the others didn't understand what was going on, so they could only nod in agreement.

The family heads poked their heads out and looked toward the city wall, while Liu He and his companions looked at them calmly with smiles on their faces. For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was quite weird.

"What's going on? Did something unexpected happen? This shouldn't happen! I must be overthinking it. Yes, that must be the case!"

Liang Hao comforted himself in his heart.

"Hurry up! Why haven't you given the Anmin Army the drugs yet? And why haven't these guys in front of us gone upstairs to eat? But it doesn't matter if they don't eat. They are just a few people. No matter how brave they are, they can't cause any trouble."

Liang Hao felt that he had never been so eager for time to pass quickly. He clutched his cuffs unconsciously, and the sweat from his palms slightly wet his cuffs.

"Pfft..."

"Well……"

Suddenly, some noisy sounds were heard from the city wall, and there seemed to be faint sounds of someone falling and someone groaning softly.

Soon, several servants of the Liang Mansion who had gone up to the city wall earlier leaned half of their bodies out from the city wall and nodded slightly.

Liang Hao and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, as if the clouds had finally cleared and the moon appeared. They were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out!
"Haha, little Liu He, you have come to this day! Prepare to die!"

The heads of each family waved their hands, and the people behind them who were previously responsible for escorting the grain carts suddenly squatted down, pulled out all kinds of weapons from the bottom of the ox carts, and surrounded Liu He and others.
