Chapter 2053 There are words outside the words, and there are changes in the changes
The sky is gloomy, as if there is some conspiracy behind the clouds.
Anxiety was spreading among the crowd. The fugitives had no strength to argue, and almost no desire to speak. Everyone was like a fish thrown ashore, with their mouths open and panting, but the next moment it was like will die.
After Cao Jun''s cavalry defeated the Jiangdong soldiers in Dangyang, they did not take on any role of rescue and rescue, and did not even stay long. After a short repair and supply, they turned around and headed north, taking these Jingzhou Nanjun people who were trapped by Jiangdong soldiers Lost here.
Those who know about military affairs naturally understand why Cao Jun’s cavalry did this, but these ordinary people in Nanjun, Jingzhou fell into a daze...
The original homeland was destroyed by Jiangdong soldiers, and the Dangyang Bridge also collapsed, so it is naturally impossible for the people in Nanjun, Jingzhou to continue to go south. Under the leadership of the leader, most of them subconsciously chose Turn back to the north, trying to avoid those cruel and unreasonable Jiangdong people.
The homeland has been destroyed, and there is no guarantee that Jiangdong people will not come again after returning. Therefore, it is safe to go north and go north.
should be…
They are from Jingzhou, and in Xiangyang to the north, there are Jingzhou herdsmen.
Since he is a shepherd in Jingzhou, why can''t he ignore the Jingzhou people?
Maybe so...
Official road extension.
Ragged people staggered forward with little hope.
No one knows whether this hope can be realized, but this hope is their last.
Xiangyang City.
As Kuai Liang was an important minister in Jingzhou, it was naturally impossible for Liu Biao to allow Kuai Liang to live freely outside Xiangyang City.
Everyone in Jingzhou, in fact, is basically holding their breath for Liu Biao''s actions. After Kuai Liang went to the door to beg Liu Biao to send troops but failed, he seldom went out, and spent most of the day wandering around at home. If others asked to see him, they would just shirk his ailment and block the door.
Kuai Liang could hold his breath so calmly, but the rest couldn''t. Now Xiangyang City is getting more and more dangerous. Although Cao Jun has not attacked the city in the past two days, who knows how long Xiangyang can last? Now these Jingzhou natives should have a certain idea, whether to support Liu Biao, and then it is almost equivalent to accompany Liu Biao to die together, or simply sell Liu Biao, taking advantage of Liu Biao''s price when…
There are many gentry families in Jingzhou. On the whole, they are headed by Lord Pang De, but now, the family of Lord Pang De has gone to Wancheng, and the family headed by the Cai family is now scattered, and the rest is naturally the Nanjun school headed by the Kuai family. .
Not to mention that day, Kuai Liang asked for an audience in front of Liu Biao''s office, and went into the hall to discuss for a long time, and then excused his illness and stayed home without seeing outsiders.
In the past two days, although Cao Jun did not attack the city, the hearts of the people became more and more urgent, and they also quietly gathered to discuss in private. As the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Biao''s duty is to shepherd Jingzhou. Now that he can''t guard it, what''s the point of "shepherd"?
Two evils, the lesser of two evils, the time has come. Although everyone understands that Cao Cao is not a good thing, but at least it is not like the gangsters in Jiangdong who can''t wait to loot the land. They will still leave something for the Jingzhou gentry, and it is impossible to be so crazy that they want to move like Sun Quan. Empty Jingzhou? Besides, Jingzhou has an old feud with the Sun family, and Cao Cao, no. Moreover, Cao Cao more or less represents the imperial court of the Han Dynasty. Strictly speaking, Sun Quan is just a low-level general. Is there any need to say more about how to choose?
As long as everyone agrees and sells Liu Biao for a good price, even though some people may suffer some losses, their own fields can still be kept...
If you follow Liu Biao to hold on, the current situation is so bad, is it possible that you have to wait until the family is ruined before giving up?
With such a consensus, the Jingzhou gentry in Xiangyang City began to slowly change their minds, and their attitude towards approaching Kuai Liang became much firmer. Han Song just didn''t leave, and sat in the gatehouse. Han Song''s servants also stood outside the door silently, as if they were going to wait until the end of time.
Han Song didn''t wait for long. After a while, Kuai Liang saw Han Song''s posture, so he sent someone to lead Han Song to the courtyard. When they met, he said directly: "De Gao, why is this?" 』
Han Song didn''t speak directly, but looked around slightly, and saw that on the side of the table, there were a few volumes of books scattered, with some fresh ink on them. It seemed that Kuai Liang was reading the annotations carefully in his spare time, and he couldn''t help feeling a little angry. The future of the Jingxiang gentry is unpredictable, and the situation in Xiangyang is uncertain. You, Kuai Liang, still have the heart to read the book?
It’s just that there should be etiquette, Han Song saluted Kuai Liang, but after sitting down for a while, he almost jumped up again, "wait for it?" How can I wait? Pang Huang is scattered like a monkey, and the Cai family is rebellious like a jackal. Now you and I are the only ones left in Jingxiang. The future is unpredictable, but you just wait? Stop joking! 』
In fact, the Jingxiang gentry is very chaotic. It has been like this since Dong Zhuo’s time. Although Pang Degong is admired on the surface, this kind of admiration is more in terms of knowledge. In daily affairs, Pang Degong does not have much for the Jingxiang gentry. Binding and control.
It’s fine if it’s normal, after all, literature is the first and martial arts is the second. We are all scholars, and the problems that can be solved with words are not so much problems...
The current problem obviously cannot be solved by words alone.
Kuai Liang smiled slightly, then looked through the wall, looked around, and then signaled to Han Song, "De Gao, why is this?" 』
Han Song''s eyes froze.
Kuai Liang spoke very slowly, almost word for word.
Han Song and Kuai Liang looked at each other for a while, then suddenly became furious, stood up, pointed at Kuai Liang, "I never thought you would be such a irresponsible person!" Han just missed it! Really die in Jingzhou! Alas! It hurts! 』
After scolding, Han Song turned around and left.
Kuai Liang was not angry either, and watched quietly, sitting beside the table, motionless.
…彡(-_-;)彡…
『How many more people can be called in the city? ’ Han Song said in a deep voice.
『Brother Han’s meaning…』
In Xiangyang, there are naturally posthouses, but at the moment, there are not many people left in the posthouses. The postmen were transferred to the top of the city, and of course the posthouse was empty, and with the siege outside the city, no one would come here to bother them, instead it became a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.
Sitting opposite Han Song was Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng is a common man, a ranger, originally a Jiangxia thief, once occupied Xiangyang with Zhang Hu and caused chaos. Later, when Liu Biao came, he recruited Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu together with the Kuai family, and later went to work in Jiangxia Huangzu''s place , After the defeat of Huang Zu in Jiangxia, he fled back to Xiangyang.
Han Song frowned and said, "Brother Kuai first said "so" and then said "imprisonment", and then said "must", which meant to "avoid" quickly...Therefore, we can see that there must be changes in Kuai''s mansion. , I am afraid that I have been controlled by the old thief...Although a certain escaped by swearing, I am afraid it will not be able to hide it for a long time...』
At first, Han Song couldn''t figure it out, how could Kuai''s family be quiet and say nothing when Nanjun was destroyed? Now that I think about it, it becomes very clear, it’s not that I don’t say it, but I can’t say it. Now that Liu Biao knows Kuai’s attitude, how can he let Kuai’s jump up and down at such a moment? became inevitable.
Hearing what Han Song said, Chen Sheng couldn''t help pondering for a moment, and replied respectfully: "I haven''t been in Xiangyang for many years, and the veterans have made mistakes... If we call up people now, there may be less than a hundred reliable people... And these hundred people have not practiced for many years , this skill...」
"Hundreds of people? 』Han Song frowned.
In fact, how many of these hundred people will be useful is still unknown. In addition, although Chen Sheng said that he had been operating in Xiangyang for many years, he left Xiangyang after all, so these people in the city now, if it were not for Chen Sheng How many retain some old friendship, I am afraid that even these hundred people may not be able to get it together!
『That’s all! A hundred people is a hundred people! ”Han Song gritted his teeth and said, “A certain person visited Kuai’s family today, I’m afraid he will attract the attention of the old thief, and sooner or later there will be changes...”
Han Song''s eyes turned cold.
Smart but never sit still, especially when dragged by others, sit and wait together. Han Song felt that he wasn''t particularly smart, but at least he wasn''t stupid. He didn''t know how to dodge and struggle when the knife and ax were in front of him.
Chen Sheng didn''t object, he didn''t even show surprise, because he didn''t have much affection for Liu Biao. When Liu Biao was recruiting to surrender, what he said was very nice, but how much has been realized so far?
From a certain point of view, it''s not that Liu Biao intends to renege on his promise and gain weight, but after all, Liu Biao had nothing at the beginning. In order to be able to take control of Xiangyang, he can naturally say anything. How could you care about one or two words and promises from ordinary people?
Han Song continued slowly: "The most taboo thing about this action is nothing more than hesitation. Once the old thief reacts, our heads will surely fall!" Therefore, with the momentum of thunder, seize the door in one fell swoop! If the city gate is fixed, it will be a good thing. When Cao Jun enters the city, you and I will make the first contribution to the city! At that time, the official rewards will be generous! 』
Han Song''s tone was not too exaggerated, he just said so plainly, the lights flickered and shone on his face, creating some different colors.
At the beginning, Han Song felt that Liu Biao was not very good, so he didn''t talk to Liu Biao at all at the beginning. Liu Biao felt that Han Song was well-known, and then he half-forced and half-invited Han Song to be the other driver. Han Song went to Cao Cao as an envoy, but when Han Song came back, Liu Biao said that Han Song had accepted a bribe from Cao Cao and wanted to mess with Han Song, but when he tortured the entourage who followed Han Song, he did not get any valid evidence. So it''s over...
『If this can be done, the inside and outside of Jingzhou will be stable at first, but after a few years, how can we know that we will not be able to light up the lintel and become an important minister of the Han Dynasty? Wouldn''t it be a hundred times better to be able to make achievements than to waste time doing nothing under the old thief? 』Han Song saw that Chen Sheng was still worried, so he drew a big cake.
Start a family and establish a business, with a vast lintel, how many people have followed suit for thousands of years, and Chen Sheng is naturally no exception...
What Han Song said was not a lie. After all, the Pang family and the Huang family moved north, the Cai family had already fled, and the Jingzhou gentry were the remaining Kuai family and others. More or less there is a place.
"However, the city gates are heavily guarded..." Chen Sheng tried his best to appear calm, but his slightly shortness of breath still revealed some of his feelings, "Even if we have the opportunity to attack the city gates, our people lack armour. , secondly, the fighting skills are unfamiliar, if you fail in one blow, I''m afraid it''s...』
『It doesn’t matter…』Han Song smiled darkly, 『A certain day ago, I made a plan…The old thief’s concern must be the secret son left by the Cai family in the city. If…hehe…」
What Han Song said was exactly what Liu Biao was worried about. These days Liu Biao guards against the outside of the city, and even more so inside the city. Although Liu Biao knew that there were Cai family''s dark sons in the city, but with a population of tens of thousands, how could it be possible to identify who was good and who was bad, whether or not the old lady Chaoyang was involved?
Liu Biao has been sitting in the Jingzhou government office all the time, in order to deal with this unknown change at any time.
Because Liu Biao knows that if there are only foreign enemies to defend the city, there will be no problem in defending the city for the first half of the year, but if there is an internal rebellion, it may only take one night to overthrow! These days, Liu Biao has not been idle, he sent Liu Xian to patrol around the city, just to catch the secrets left by the Cai family...
Then, finally caught the traces of these dark sons of the Cai family.
When commotion broke out in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief while suddenly worrying. After all, if this hidden danger is solved, it means that Xiangyang will be safer.
The shouts of cutting off the old thieves and punishing the treacherous are spreading with the chaos, and at this moment in Xiangyang City, it is unknown how many people have heard this slogan clearly, and how many people are turning around like this or It''s that kind of thought...
I don’t know where it was lit, and the flames rose into the sky. In addition to the sound of shouts, there were also cries and screams, which set off the slogans of cutting off old thieves and punishing evil spirits.
Upstairs at Xiangyang City Gate, Liu Cong was also awakened by the sound of such slogans. He rolled and crawled and pulled the wooden window to look into the city. Although Liu Cong secretly cursed Liu Biao more than once after entering the city gate, and even thought that Liu Biao would die suddenly, and then he would be able to get out of the current predicament, but after seeing the riots in the city, his worries about Liu Biao were overwhelmed in the end. past the hate...
Of course, it might just be because Liu Cong realized that if Liu Biao really died, there would be no good end for him?
Liu Cong rushed to the door and shouted: "General Wen! General Wen! Save my father quickly! Save my father quickly! 』
Wen Pin had been paying close attention to the disturbance as soon as the riot broke out. Hearing Liu Cong''s call, he cupped his hands and said, "Young master, don''t panic! It’s okay in the city, don’t need us...』
『Bold! ”Liu Cong jumped violently, “You want to come…”
Before Liu Cong finished speaking, there was another commotion outside the city! When Cao Jun saw the fire in Xiangyang City, although he didn''t know what it was for, he still reacted immediately and began to line up, ready to attack!
Wen Pin glanced at Liu Cong, and didn''t continue to say anything. He slightly bowed his hands, and immediately strode away to set up defenses against Cao Jun. This is the most important responsibility of Wenpin. If Wenpin really obeyed Liu Cong''s blind command and led the soldiers down to participate in the pacification of the city, wouldn''t Cao Jun be in a hurry when Cao Jun came?
Liu Cong curled up inside the door and window, trembling hands and feet, muttering to himself, all kinds of noisy voices surrounded his ears, one wave was higher than the other, and they got in from every hole, making Liu Cong''s head buzzing...
I don''t know how long it took, the commotion gradually subsided, and the surroundings became quiet. Liu Cong slowly let go of his hands covering his ears, and like a groundhog, he stretched his head out to test a little bit.
Under the swaying light and shadow, the smell of blood rushed to his face. Even though Liu Cong had lived on the gate tower for a while, he still hadn''t been able to fully get used to it.
『Report to my son, the thieves in the city have been calmed down, so you don’t need to worry. 』
Wen Pin said something to Liu Cong indifferently, and then went to direct the fresh and hot head that had just been cut off to be hung on the battlements, and displayed to Cao Jun.
Wen Pin knew that Cao Jun was dispatched more to cooperate with the actions in the city. If he saw a head hanging out and the city became quiet again, he would basically retreat and would not fight mindlessly.
Sure enough, just as Wenpin expected, Xiahoudun saw this and knew that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so he called for gold and withdrew his troops...
Cai Mao, who was beside Xiahou Dun, stared at the head of the city, clenched his fists.
Xia Houdun patted Cai Mao on the shoulder, "It''s okay, Degui''s strategy won''t work, and another plan is... Liu Jingsheng, sure enough, he has some tricks..."
Cai Hao had no choice but to follow back to Cao Jun’s camp. He tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. As soon as it was dawn, he got up and walked back to the front of the formation again, staring at the city from a distance.
The human heads hanging on the top of the city are like peanuts pulled out of the ground. The long hairs are tied together in one place, with their eyes closed or their mouths open, their heads and heads dangling in the wind. Turning, swinging, spinning...
Cai Hao stared, suddenly his heart skipped a beat, his eyeballs shook immediately, trying to identify the heads in the distance, if he was not afraid of the bow and crossbow shooting from the top of the city, he might have wanted to get closer to the city of Xiangyang for a closer look...
『One five, ten ten...』
Cai Hao counted, then worried, and counted again, then stared, trying hard to match the livid or pale faces with the images in his mind from under the blood and dust. He got up, and then stared at it for nearly a stick of incense, until his eyes couldn''t help being sore and unbearable, and when tears came down, he rubbed his eyes and rushed to Xiahou Dun''s Chinese army tent in a hurry.
『De Gui...』 Seeing Cai Mao’s tears streaming down his face, Xia Houdun couldn’t help but froze for a moment, and comforted him, “De Gui should be so sad, victory or defeat is common for military strategists...”
"Ok? Cai Hao was also dazed for a moment, and then he sighed, pretending to be sorry, but what he said afterwards revealed that he didn''t have much sadness at all, "General Xiahou!" A certain counted it carefully...the number is wrong, and the person is wrong...』
Xiahou Dun was originally sitting, holding a bowl to drink water. Hearing this, his hands stopped in mid-air, slowly raised his head, and looked at Cai Mao seriously, "Degui means..."
