Chapter 53 Liwei
Liyang County is not big. According to the return of the scouts, there are only 500 county soldiers in the county, and most of them are old and weak.
When Lu Qiang and others got the news, they couldn't help but be very disappointed. What's the use of such a county soldier? Instead, it became a burden. And spring ploughing will begin soon, and it is unrealistic to recruit at this time.
When he returned, he didn't even say anything. It's not that he had no idea, but he didn't dare to say that the matter of pulling Zhuangding has often happened throughout the ages, but he believes that Lu Qiang will have the same idea as him and must not do the exhausting thing.
Just as everyone was at a loss, soldiers suddenly came to report that a man who claimed to be a former friend of the general outside the camp.
Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned. After he came to this era, there were few people who could be called good friends, and he couldn't figure out who it was.
Please come in.
Soon, a tough and dusty young man was led in by soldiers.
"Fan Cheng"
This young man turned out to be Zhou Anmu's good friend Fan Cheng. Zhou Anmu met him when he led Lu Qiang to Jingkou.
"Hehe! I haven't seen you for many days. General Lu's current prestige is unknown to everyone in our northern army! Brother Zhou has been thinking about you all the time!"
Fan Cheng held his fist with a smile.
Lu Qiang quickly got up to salute and said in surprise, "It turned out to be Brother Fan. Aren't you overturning Zhoushan? Why do you have time to come to me?"
Hearing Lu Qiang's question, Fan Cheng put away his laughing expression and turned his head to look at Tan Daoji, Zhou Kui and others.
"Brother Fan has something to say, but it's okay to say it. These two are both my friends"
Fan Cheng nodded and said, "General Liu got the news that Liu Yi will be unfavorable to you. He has sent his brother Liu Yun to lead 20,000 troops to kill from behind. Please prepare as soon as possible."
Lu Qiang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the news. Did Liu Yi know that he wanted to start his own business? Impossible! Unless he has a good wind ear.
Fan Cheng saw Lu Qiang's doubts and then said, "The news is absolutely accurate. In order to have a good relationship with those dog officials in the imperial court, Liu Yi has decided to abandon you. After Liu Yin arrives, he will definitely invite you to meet and then take the opportunity to kill you."
Lu Qiang understood that after Liu Yu got the news, he was afraid that he would not believe it, so he sent Fan Cheng, who had a relationship with him, to report.
Although this news needs to be verified, it is related to life and death. It is better to believe in it than to believe it. Moreover, Lu Qiang could feel that after he returned to the camp, Liu Yi wanted to use and deliberately guard against him, so it was not impossible to say that he wanted to kill himself.
Why did Liu Yu help himself so much? Do you want to use yourself for him?
Thinking of this, Lu Qiang couldn't help looking at Wang Zhenwei beside him, but saw that he was noying slightly to himself.
At present, he held his fist and said, "Please tell General Liu Yu that Lu must remember today's feelings, and there will be a reward in the future"
When Fan Cheng heard Lu Qiang's words, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother Lu, Liu Yi is narrow-minded. He can only share difficulties and can't be rich together. He has already killed Brother Lu. Brother Lu might as well throw himself into the account of General Liu Yu of my family. With Brother Lu's skills, in time, he will become a famous general."
is really here to attract yourself. Liu Yi is not a thing, and I'm afraid Liu Yu may not be good.
pretended to be muttered, "I have no problem, but I can't leave these brothers. Because they are no longer treated by Liu Yi, I don't know if General Liu Yu is willing to take them in together?"
"Haha! What's the problem? They are all brothers of my Beifu Army. To be honest, I came here quickly from the land road, and General Liu has sent a navy to lead a warship to catch up his brother safely. It is estimated that he will arrive in a few hours."
It seemed that in order to cooperate with Fan Cheng, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the tent, and then a soldier quickly stepped in.
"Report, the two generals, General Liu Kun, have arrived ten miles away, and ordered General Zhou and General Lu to go to meet together"
came so fast, including Fan Cheng, and everyone's faces changed.
The ship hasn't arrived yet. Obviously, Lu Qiang can't use these 3,000 people to fight with Liu Yun's 20,000 people.
He smiled coldly and said, "General Zhou, take your brothers to the river first, and I will meet Liu Yun when I go."
"Are you going alone?"
Lu Qiang's words shocked everyone in the account.
"Don't worry, 20,000 people in Liu Yun can't do anything to me, and they are all Beifu brothers. I believe they won't kill me."
Lu Qiang's words not only did not comfort the people, but also made everyone feel even more uncertain.
Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and said, "They are all brothers on the same line. If they want to die, they will die together. What are they afraid of what will he do? Come on, let's meet Liu Yun."
It's not Zhou Kuiduo's righteousness, but he knows that if Lu Qiang is finished, he won't be better.
Fan Cheng hesitated for a moment. If he left like this, wouldn't it be looked down upon? So he also asked the same Lu Qiang to fight together.
In fact, Lu Qiang doesn't want to go to war. He just wants to scare Liu Yun with the power of the overlord's bow. Now everyone refuses to go first, so they have to let them. At the same time, he can also take the opportunity to establish his prestige in front of the soldiers.
With the overlord bow, Lu Qiang's confidence has risen sharply. This is the era of cold weapons, and only force can solve everything.
Three thousand men and horses quickly lined up their formation, but there was no need for them to go out. The ten-mile journey arrived in a blink of an eye. The people and horses here were lined up for a short time, and a black and suppressed Liu Yun army appeared in the distance.
The two sides once belonged to the same army, and even the military flag was the same. If you don't know, you think it's a friendly army!
In fact, Liu Yun appreciates Lu Qiang very much. Although he is a little grumpy, several names will be born. Don't they all have to be honed?
But he is also very clear about Liu Yi's thoughts. Although the Yuan Emperor has been traveling to the south for nearly 100 years, although the court has not stopped, it is ultimately inseparable from the support of those scholars. Now Lu Qiang has almost offended them all, which really makes Liu Yi very difficult.
Just on the way, Liu Yun also wondered if he could put Lu Qiang under house arrest and let him out after the situation calmed down. After all, it was rare.
But his idea soon died, because he had seen that Lu Qiang and Zhou Kui had lined up, but still an offensive formation.
I can't help humming coldly. It's really self-inflicted. The whip raised and said to the messengers around him, "Let Lu Qiang come and reply. If not, after the three-way drums, the army will be killed, and the armor will not be left."
Before the messengers went, they saw that Lu Qiang had come alone.
Liu Yun's face couldn't help softening. He knew that many of his soldiers and the soldiers on the opposite side were originally from the same barracks. Of course, it would be best not to fight.
However, when he saw Lu Qiang's posture, he couldn't help frowning: "What does this boy want to do?"
It turned out that Lu Qiang had taken off the overlord's bow in the process of running on the war horse. Far away from Liu Yun's two arrows army, he suddenly stopped and did not say anything. He directly opened his bow and shot at Liu Yu's handsome flag.
After seeing Lu Qiang's army set up a position, Liu Yun's men and horses were also ready to fight, but no one expected that it was almost impossible for Lu Qiang to shoot arrows at such a distance and shoot arrows so far away to produce lethality.
You should know that although Lu Qiang's reputation in Liu Yijun is loud, no one has really seen his current archery. The soldiers in the front row watched Lu Qiang open his bow and shoot the arrow, and naturally turned around along the line shot by the arrow to see where the arrow would fall.
At this time, I only heard a click, and then I saw the handsome flag behind Liu Yun, breaking together with the flagpole and falling next to Liu Yun.
"Protect the general..."
With the shouts, Liu Yun's own soldiers raised their shields to stand beside Liu Yun.
Liu Yin was also stunned. He stood on the chariot, shaking his legs uncontrollably. He knew very well that if this arrow was shot at him, he could not avoid it at all.
What bow did he use to have such a long range?
After the soldiers on Lu Qiang's side saw Lu Qiang breaking the opponent's handsome flag with an arrow, they immediately burst into shocking cheers.
"General is powerful..."
If it hadn't been for the supervision of officers, the soldiers on Liu Yun's side would have shouted. As Liu Yun thought, many soldiers here were from the original Huan's family, and they were connected with the soldiers opposite side. They didn't even understand why they wanted to fight against their own people.
Seeing that the time had come, Lu Qiang said, "Brothers of Beifu, I, Lu Qiang and you have no grievances. Recently, I have no hatred. I didn't want to be an enemy of everyone. It was Liu Yi who was jealous of me and insisted on getting rid of me. Lu will not oppose him, but he will never be willing to be harmed by him. Therefore, Lu made a statement today that he and Liu Yien Broken righteousness, if you dare to attack me again, Lu can only fight to death"
Lu Qiang said, punched Liu Kun's army slightly, then turned his horse's head back to this array, and then 3,000 men and horses slowly retreated back.
After listening to Lu Qiang's words, the soldiers of Liu Yun's battalion couldn't help whispering. The whole scene was like a group of flies, which was a little fighting spirit.
A general came and asked Liu Yun, "General, I'm afraid this battle can't be fought!"
Liu Yun really wants to give him two mouths and fart. The handsome flag has fallen down. This is a sign of great evil. Besides, with the strong and ghost-like archery, won't I die if I go?
"Camp in place, send people to return the general quickly, and ask the general to make a final determination"
Fan Cheng just heard how good Lu Qiang was, but he was not very similar. I remember that when they met, Lu Qiang said that he could not do martial arts, but how long has it been!
As far as Lu Qiang's arrow is concerned, it is definitely the first arrow in Beifu.
This time, the heart of inviting Lu Qiang to join Liu Yu's camp is even heavier.
"Brother Lu, the boat is almost here. Let's leave quickly, otherwise if Liu Yun really jumps over the wall, we can't resist!"
Lu Qiang nodded and ordered Zhou Kui to urge the soldiers to speed up. Now that he has torn his face with Liu Yi, he can't have any more fantasies.
Under Zhou Kui's order, 3,000 people suddenly accelerated and rushed to the river.
