Chapter 268: The Shadow of Death
The brigade of Xianbei thieves left quietly, and it seemed that they were not noticed by the Han soldiers and horses on the city wall in the distance, but they were sleepy-eyed and dozed off for a while, when did these soldiers in the county town go to the battlefield with real swords and guns, if it were not for the gathering of the Xianbei thieves and Kou army outside the city, I am afraid that one person would have been left to guard the city, and the rest of the people would have slept on the edge of the city wall.
The soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Zan are lying in a comfortable temporary station one by one at the moment to rest, as the main force of the army, how can the soldiers and horses not have a good rest, and these people will need to fight for their lives on the battlefield in the future.
If Gongsun Chan can see the number of soldiers and horses leaving, I don't know how he feels, will he lead his soldiers and horses to have a good fight with the enemy, it is a full 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the guards in the city in Youzhou, a cold place, are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there are not too many people who have really been on the battlefield, they are all recruits who have been recruited temporarily, how can they be compared with those battle-hardened soldiers.
"Mr. Su Yu, where are I going to go now?" Ke Bineng, who was wearing heavy armor on the side, looked at Mr. Su Yu, who was a little pale, and asked cautiously, but he knew that Cui Stari, who was a warrior of the Xianbei Ten, did not take any advantage of this person, and he was so angry that he almost drew his sword in a rage.
Su Yu was wrapped in a heavy leather jacket and a fur hat on his head, and instinctively exhaled in the dark night to relieve the cold air around him, "I will lead a full 50,000 soldiers and horses this time, if we don't do an earth-shattering event, do you think He Lian Danyu will be satisfied?" ”
Kebineng originally thought that he was just leading the soldiers and horses to hunt the Han people's livestock to supplement the food, where would he have thought that the person in front of him would actually want to make a big move, and now the spirit was like an eagle falcon, staring at the other party with eyes that seemed to be waiting for the follow-up.
Su Yu saw that the eyes of everyone around him fell on him involuntarily, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything, but continued to carefully tighten the clothes on his body, as if this could relieve the cold and enter his body.
Seeing this, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched violently, but they still knew more about Mr. Su Yu's strange temper, even if it was a cow like Cui Stari, they could only sigh helplessly in their hearts.
In the city lord's mansion of Liu Yu in Youzhou, the lights are bright at the moment as if it were daytime, and a team of elite soldiers are looking at the surrounding environment in three steps and one sentry, looking at the surrounding environment in five steps and one post, even if there is a trace of movement, they will react as soon as possible, even if it is a floater, don't want to fly in.
Liu Yu sat in the first place, frowning and staring at everyone present, for the current Xianbei thief Kou completely lost the past soft policy, after all, Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu are still deeply dissatisfied with the death of the two henchmen, if they can't avenge the two of them, how can they calm the anger.
Liu He, as Liu Yu's son, saw a solemn look flashing in his father's gloomy and dense eyes, as if because of this time, Xianbei Kouguan's father had become a little different, and there was no longer the same color as Mount Tai collapsed before, but there was some rumors.
If it continues like this, God knows if it will have an extreme impact on the generals under his command, and he was ready to open his mouth when he thought of this possibility, but the moment he looked up, he saw his father staring at his father with blood-red eyes like jackals, and he could only choke on the words that came to his mouth at the moment.
"Princess, we are now in the city with limited soldiers and horses, not to mention, through the report of the study, there are no less than 100,000 Xianbei thieves who have gone south to Kou Pass this time, what tricks can you have to survive the current crisis?" Liu Yu saw that his son Liu He was no longer the first bird, his blood-red eyes returned to his former Qingming and nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the Wenchen generals who shrank their heads in front of their chests like a bird.
The moment everyone felt the low voice ringing in their ears, the whole person shuddered involuntarily as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and cautiously looked at the first lord as if it were yesterday.
As time passed, there was not the slightest sound in the hall, even Liu Yu's face was a little unbearable, and he coughed softly a few times involuntarily at the moment, as if to say why he didn't come out to analyze the situation.
When everyone saw this, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while, no one dared to come out and answer one or two, and they seemed to be afraid of becoming the next field.
"Humph!" The cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, Liu Yu's face was gloomy like a black pot bottom that had not been cleaned for ten thousand years, and he was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the military generals of Wenchen, but as a feudal official for a long time, how could the clan members of the Han family not know the reason" Although you can rest assured, after all, a certain family can still distinguish the right and wrong of things! "020 reading
Everyone present heard the words and their faces remained unchanged, but their hearts were full of criticism, and the words of this person were completely like the wind in their ears, after all, for a guy like Tian Chou who cares about the people of Youzhou, now it seems that how can a marginal person not make people feel cold, which is still the result of the secret pressure of most Youzhou scholars, otherwise Tian Chou may not be able to return to work here at this moment.
Forced by the lord's inquiry, a Wenchen had to cautiously walk out in the eyes of everyone: "Lord, you also know that we are now short of soldiers and horses, besides, the Xianbei thief Kou Pass is also a clan, which is accompanied by the existence of the Xianbei Ten Warriors, these guys are all second-rate military generals or above the cultivation, obviously not an existence that we can contend with, for today's plan, we can only wait for reinforcements from the Han court!" ”
Liu Yu looked at Yan Rou, the corner of his mouth twitched violently, thinking that he was a state pastor, and he would be bullied by a foreign race to hide in the city and shrink, if he was known by the world, he would not laugh at himself behind his back, how to raise his head in front of everyone in the future!
"Isn't there any other way for Yan Rou?" Obviously, for Yan Rou's suggestion, Liu Yu is more aware of the most feasible way now, but if he blindly shrinks, God knows how the people of Youzhou can survive!
Yan Rou looked at Liu Yu, who was full of hope and looked at him, as a strategist, he didn't know what the other party was thinking, but with a full understanding of his own soldiers and horses, where would there be any better way.
Liu Yu saw that the boulder in his heart fell heavily, and his eyes looked into the distance blankly, and he could only wait for the arrival of friendly troops like a turtle with a shrunken head.
"Lord, I actually have some ways to wait!" Just when everyone was shrouded in the shadow of death, Tian Chou, who was originally like a marginal, couldn't help but sigh, and then took another step and calmly came to the center of the hall, clasping his hands into fists and bowing slightly.
Liu Yu, whose eyes were full of gloomy expression, seemed to have a relapse of glory at the moment he heard the voice, and hurriedly looked at the person who came and wanted to ask for countermeasures, but after seeing that this person was Tian Chou that he had discarded, he felt that his cheeks were hot like a monkey's butt for a while, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean quickly dripped down.
Time passed minute by minute, everyone saw that the lord had not yet asked Tian Chou, but they were in a hurry to die, every minute of delay their own family would have a huge loss, and at the moment, after a short eye contact, many families stood up like a carp crossing the river, clasped their fists with both hands and bowed slightly, "Lord, how about I listen to Zitai's suggestion?" ”
Liu Yu sat on the main seat and looked at the people present, although the other party was in a consultative tone, in fact, it was clear that he was putting pressure on himself, if he let those scholars in Youzhou suffer huge losses, there would inevitably be an irreconcilable crisis for his rule.
As the initiator of all this, it is Tian Chou's fault, how can he let Liu Yu give the other party a good face, "Zitai might as well talk about your clever tricks, a certain family can rescue the people of Youzhou in time!" ”
Zitai had already secretly exclaimed in his heart the moment many family owners came out, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yu, who had a gloomy face, asked coldly, as if the relationship between himself and the other party was difficult to repair, and sighed helplessly, after all, these family owners are just for their own interests, indirectly helping themselves, what reason is there to complain about the other party.
Thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, Tian Chou slowly spoke, "My lord, have you forgotten that in the land of Youzhou, although there are white horse generals like Gongsun Zhan, there are still many alien races that you helped at the beginning, and your prestige is in the eyes of the other party, as long as you raise your arms and shout, someone will inevitably respond positively, why don't I come to drive the wolf and gobble the tiger!" ”
Although Liu Yu was dissatisfied with Tian Chou, he had to say that the other party's suggestion was obviously much better than Yan Rou's, and he was able to save his crumbling prestige, and his attitude towards this person had also changed a little, "Zitai, I don't know how you are going to convince those aliens?" ”
"Lord, have you forgotten that the Xianbei thieves who are afraid of us like tigers are like competitors with Karasuma, both of them rose rapidly after the Huns were lonely, if the Xianbei thieves were allowed to burn and loot in Youzhou to get more resources, it was obviously not a good thing for the Karasuma clan, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is the best ally, isn't it!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Liu Yu's attitude towards Tian Chou at this moment really changed back to his original appearance, and he did not hesitate to say three wonderful words, which shows that Tian Chou can help Liu Yu get through the current crisis at this moment, so that the other party is grateful, even if the initial loss of face has become excusable.
Hearing this, the corners of Tian Chou's mouth finally showed a long-lost smile, after all, being able to become Liu Yu's subordinate to help the other party do things was still very satisfying for Tian Chou, otherwise he would not appear in this hall again at Liu He's request... to be continued
