Soldiers come to the world

There is no starlight and moonlight tonight, thick dark clouds cover the sky, and the outside of Yecheng is even more pitch black, without a single pedestrian, and the official road is covered with green wheat. Three carriages rush south along the official road, about After walking for two miles, a fork appeared.

Two carriages were quietly parked beside the fork, and there were also seven or eight guards. It was Li Fu who asked Zhi Mayan to notify the brothers outside the city in advance so that they were prepared.

The two carriages carrying Jia Xu's family slowed down at this time. When Cao Jun's carriage passed the fork, the two waiting carriages started immediately and followed the carriage to the south.

But the two carriages carrying Jia Xu's family turned around and drove onto the side road. Liu Min didn't expect this scene to happen. He was very surprised and hurried to catch up with Li Fu and asked, "Second Uncle, How is this going?"

Li Fu smiled lightly, "Don't think that Cao Jun will really help us, he is just helping Zhang Xiu's family, if I guess correctly, there will be a large cavalry chasing after tomorrow morning, and Xu Chang will also intercept us in front, if we don't use this The golden cicada's plan to get rid of its shell, we still can't escape."

Jia Ji next to him couldn't help asking: "Now we are going west, does Mr. Li want to cross the Taihang Mountains to Bingzhou?"

Li Fu smiled mysteriously, "You will know soon."

The carriage traveled westward for about five miles, and entered a hilly area called Wuxi Township, which is a relatively remote place in Yecheng. Zhuangzi stopped.

The gate opened, and the carriage drove directly into Zhuangzi, and when the gate slammed shut, Li Fu smiled at Liu Min, who was a little stunned: "This is Guo Tu's villa, which is now owned by Zhimayan, and I have rented it at a high price. We will live here in peace for the first ten days, wait for the limelight to pass, then go to Bingzhou to find a small county to live for half a month, and finally go to Guanzhong, where the Tao family caravan will pick us up, and then go to Hanzhong to enter Jingzhou, it should be Nothing is lost."

Liu Min and Jia Ji glanced at each other, and both of them had to admire Li Fu. Who would have the courage to hide in the outskirts of Yecheng? Cao Pi probably never dreamed of it.

Early the next morning, Xia Houshang led a team of 500 cavalry to rush out of the south gate of Ye City like lightning, and chased southward at high speed. He was scolded by Cao Pi, which made him regret. Know if you can catch up.

The five hundred cavalry were as fierce as wind and fire, and as powerful as thunder, they stirred up billows of yellow dust on the official road, and rushed towards the south at high speed.

In the Plum Blossom Villa in the mountainous area west of Yecheng, the gentle Liu Minzheng and Jia Ji explained the truth to Jia Xu’s mother and wife. Jia Xu was not sick, but was forced to surrender to Jingzhou. leave a good impression.

This is the task of Liu Min, who is responsible for appeasing Jia Xu's family members. He speaks kindly, looks handsome, smiles very sincerely, and is very friendly. Moreover, he is knowledgeable, which made Jia's mother and Jia Xu's wife fall in love with him at once. Hearing that he was Liu Xian's nephew and had not yet married, Jia's mother secretly considered whether she could give him her youngest granddaughter.

More importantly, when they heard that Jia Xu was fine, Jia's mother and Jia's wife were relieved, and when they learned that Zhang Xiu was forced to death, they couldn't help scolding the Cao family for their hypocrisy and cruelty.

. . . . . . . . .

The battle in Jingzhou has been in a state of semi-confrontation. Cao Ren finally adopted Jia Xu's second plan, withdrew his troops back to Nanyang, and sent Cao Hong to lead [-] troops to station in Xinye County.

Xinye County has been operated by Liu Bei for many years. The city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Five thousand Cao troops stationed in it, it is extremely difficult to conquer.

At this time, the Jingzhou coalition forces also had a subtle change. Since Jiang Xia's army was stationed in Fancheng, Guan Yu led [-] troops to station in Deng County.

Liu Bei led the remaining [-] Nanjun troops and more than [-] warships to station at Longzhong Wharf. Wenpin also led [-] troops across the river to the north and stationed in Dengsai City on the west bank of the Bishui River estuary. In this way, the Jingzhou coalition forces formed There is a momentum of two wings.

The [-] Jiangxia Army was the main force, stationed in Fancheng, with Guan Yu in Deng County on the west wing, and Wenpin Deng Sai on the east wing. A total of nearly [-] coalition troops confronted Cao Jun.

A month has passed, and neither side has taken any action, as if returning to before the outbreak of the battle, but in fact, the power structure in Jingzhou has been completely changed by this battle.

In Wuchang City, Jiangxia, a troop of cavalry is galloping westward. It is already the first ten days of May at this time. Outside Wuchang City, there are endless wheat fields, the green is light yellow, and the thick ears of wheat are about to mature. the sea.

The intermittently planted rape fields are still dark green, and the heavy rape stalks bend the overly tall stalks, causing green waves to rise and fall one after another.

The leader of the cavalry was none other than Liu Jing. The Fancheng army was temporarily led by Gan Ning, and he rushed back to Jiangxia temporarily.

The road from Jiangxia City to the Academy has been rebuilt. The original curve was straightened and a few bridges were built to cut the distance in half. In addition, the road is wide and flat, and it takes less than half an hour to ride a horse.

The team soon rushed to Jiangxia Academy. Due to the large number of scholars taking over, the surrounding area has become prosperous. On the Cross Commercial Street, hundreds of residential houses spread around these two commercial streets, forming a large town named Shuyuan Town.

There are various shops on the commercial street, a dazzling array of supplies, there are also copying libraries, more than a dozen taverns, four or five hostels, and even a brothel, which has become a gathering place for the refugees from Xiangyang.

Jiangxia Academy has been renamed Lumen Jiangxia Academy. Pang Degong led his disciples to move here from Xiangyang, and received the full support of the Jiangxia government. Not only did they make their lives worry-free, they had a fixed place to live, but also built two schools specially for the children. They also have a place to read.

But Liu Jing didn't come here today to meet Pang Degong or Kuai Liang, he came here to meet Jia Xu, Jia Xu is now under house arrest in the academy, except that he can't leave the academy, others are free, of course, there are also a few martial arts experts His guards watched him day and night.

Liu Jing walked into the backyard. There are several secluded courtyards in the northeast corner of the backyard. Both Kuai Liang and Pang Degong lived here. Last year, Kuai Liang suffered from a serious illness and almost died of it. Although he was rescued, he unfortunately became paralyzed. Teaching and educating people here makes life fulfilling.

When Liu Jing came to a courtyard, there were two guards sitting at the door. Seeing Liu Jing's arrival, the two guards stood up in fright. Liu Jing smiled and asked, "How is Mr. Jia?"

"It seems to be growing vegetables!"

Liu Jing laughed, he was actually planting vegetables, he opened the door and walked into the yard, this yard is quite big, covering an area of ​​three acres, with seven or eight houses, each with a yard at the front and back, and a few big trees growing in the back yard. It is lush and lush, with tall tree crowns, covering half of several houses.

The front yard is quite large, with one-third of an acre of land, full of vegetables, which is quite wild, and there is a small piece of rapeseed next to it. If you come here a month earlier, it will be a golden place.

Liu Jing saw Jia Xu at a glance. He was wearing a half-worn cloth, a scarf wrapped around his head, and cloth shoes. There were two excrement buckets beside him. With his dark and thin face, if he didn't know that he was Jia Xu, he and The old farmers outside don't make any difference.

Jia Xu was pouring dung water on the rapeseed roots, she was very focused, Liu Jing coughed lightly, Jia Xu turned around, and smiled slightly: "It turns out that Mr. Jing is here, and Jia Xu has neglected."

It has been a month since Jia Xu was brought to Jiangxia. He is not as mighty and unyielding as the other captured scribes. Pang Degong and Kuai Liang were friends, and even became interested, and went to teach his disciples on Kuai Liang's behalf.

Liu Jing met him twice, and the two had a very happy chat, just like a chat between friends, but when topics such as loyalty and surrender were brought up, Jia Xu remained silent.

Liu Jing didn't make things difficult for him, and ordered his subordinates to give him as much freedom as possible, serve him well, and let him live in the academy slowly.

Liu Jing arched his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. is bothering you!"

"Hehe! There are two dung buckets on the left and right, why is there any elegance? Mr. Jing, please sit in the room for a while, and I will come later."

Liu Jing entered the room and sat down. An old servant serving Jia Xu brought a cup of tea. Liu Jing picked up the tea cup and looked around.

At this time, Jia Xu had already changed into a suit of clothes and came in, smiling and bowing to Liu Jing, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Liu Jing got up and returned a salute, and the two sat down facing each other. Jia Xu asked with a smile, "How is the situation in Fancheng now?"

"Cao Ren led the main force to garrison Nanyang, while Cao Hong led [-] troops to garrison Xinye. The two armies are currently at a standoff."

Jia Xu nodded, "This is the second plan I suggested to Cao Ren. It is more stable. Is the young master planning to confront him forever?"

"Of course not. If Cao Ren withdrew all his troops to Nanyang, he could give up. But he occupied Xinye, obviously he was using defense as an offense, and was ready to attack at any time. Since he can maintain a deterrent to Jingzhou and protect Nanyang, it is very important for him. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, but...there is no such good thing in the world."

"Then can you tell me how to fight back?"

Liu Jing smiled, and changed the topic, "Didn't the gentleman say he wanted to visit the Jiangxia Army's fire oil refinery last time? I can promise that the gentleman can go to Xiazhi County at any time."

Jia Xu saw that Liu Jing didn't want to talk about counterattack, so he didn't ask any more questions, but he was very interested in kerosene. Cao Jun also found kerosene in Puyang, but the kerosene there was very sticky, not as rumored. The fire is lit, and it is impossible to ignite it with a rocket. It takes several people to light it with torches.

But the last time they got the can of Jiang Xiajun's kerosene, everyone was surprised, including Jia Xu. The kerosene turned out to be transparent and light yellow. keen interest.

Although he is now Liu Jing's prisoner, it does not prevent his interest from spreading. He made this request when Liu Jing talked to him last time, but Liu Jing declined on the grounds of being top secret. Agreeing, Jia Xu felt a little strange.

He half-jokingly said: "Young Master, aren't you afraid that I will pass it on to Cao Jun in the future?"

Liu Jing shook his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and he became a little dignified, Jia Xu's heart sank, he had a bad feeling in his heart, and asked cautiously: "What happened?"
