XXXV. Ice-making schemes

Liu Bowen's voice fell, and the room was full of expectant glances at him.

At this moment, everyone found out that Liu Bowen had become the only life-saving straw in Lujiazhuang.

The county order doesn't care if it's too guarded or not, grandma doesn't love it, uncle doesn't love it, and only relies on more than 1,000 Zhuang Ding in Lujiazhuang to fight against five or six thousand red-eyed moth thieves, how long can it support?

"The kid believes that Mr. is not a thief, but must be a person of great wisdom, and the lives of more than 5,000 old and young women and children in Lujiazhuang will be in the hands of Mr."

Thinking clearly about the current predicament of Lujiazhuang, Lu Su no longer hesitated, and bowed to Liu Bowenna.

Liu Bowen hurriedly supported Lu Su: "Receiving the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention that Lu Zijing donated 15,000 stone grain and grass to our army, and the people and horses of King Hongnong can't sit idly by." If we work together, we will be able to defeat the Gepi thieves. ”

"What Mr. said is extremely true, the army and the people work together, and the thieves can be broken. I wonder what the gentleman has planned? Lu Su stood up straight with Liu Bowen's support and asked respectfully.

Liu Bowen walked out of the conference hall quickly and made a circle with a feather fan: "This river outside the village can help Lujiazhuang break the enemy!" The weather is cold, and the dripping water turns into ice. Lu Zijing can mobilize the whole village to go out of the village, dig the thin ice on the river surface before the arrival of the Gepi thief, and break the river water to the ground, and when the Gepi thief arrives, it will inevitably have condensed into ice. Pedestrians walking on it will not slip on their feet, so that they can prevent the moth thieves from approaching the village and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from King Hongnong. ”

"What an 'ice-making plan', this plan is feasible!" Lu Su applauded, "If the moth thieves attack, we can take advantage of the fact that they are unsteady under their feet and shoot them with bows and arrows." ”

Now that there are countermeasures, Lu Su and the guests have settled down. Send people to beat gongs and drums to gather all the women, children, old and young in the village, all over the age of ten and under the age of seventy, all carry their belongings out of the village, as long as they can hold water, whether it is a wooden barrel or an iron spoon, or pots and pans.

Although the weather is cold and the river water is bitterly cold, it is better to freeze than to lose your head.

As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, almost all the villagers of the village were mobilized, and the young men jumped into the river, stepped on the ice to break the ice, and then scraped the water up with wooden barrels, handed it to the women above it, and finally dumped it on the ground. All of a sudden, three or four thousand people were so busy that they forgot about the cold, and it didn't take much effort to dump a sea on the ground.

Just when Liu Bowen assisted Lu Su in making ice, Hua Rong hurried out of the village and reported the situation to King Hongnong, who was three miles away.

Finally, he asked: "My lord, Mr. Berwyn has promised Lu Zijing to help them repel the moth thieves, I don't know what the king wants?" Will the people of Lujiazhuang save it or not? ”

Liu Wei thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Save, how can you not save?" The widow is the Hongnong King of the Han Dynasty, and he will regain the throne in the future, and the people of the world are the people of my Liu Bian, how can I not save him when he dies? Besides, it is a matter of course for officers and soldiers to eliminate bandits, Yuan Shujun has all been beaten, are you still afraid of 5,000 moth thieves? ”

Liu Wei said that he was high-sounding on the surface, but in fact, he had his own little abacus in his heart.

Although the number of Ge Pi thieves was large, his own men and horses, plus more than 1,000 Zhuang Ding in Lu Su, did not suffer much loss in terms of quantity. And the combat effectiveness of the moth thieves must not be compared with Yuan Shu's regular army, these bandits were honest farmers not long ago, and they became anti-thieves in desperation, with no food, no clothes, lack of weapons and armor, no formal training, how strong can they be in combat?

Moreover, the terrain around Lujiazhuang is flat, Gan Ning's cavalry can just show their strength, six hundred cavalry lined up in formation, and a few charges back and forth, these poor Ge Pi thieves are simply here to send people to their heads!

After the cavalry crushed the fighting spirit of the Gepi thieves, and then let the main foot soldiers take the opportunity to cover the killing, maybe they can capture a large number of prisoners, and then enrich their own ranks, taking the opportunity to expand their forces.

Taking a step back, even if the Golpi thieves were defeated in a battle, they fled in panic, and finally only captured a few prisoners. But after this Liangzi was formed, how could the Ge Pi thief be willing to give up, and he would inevitably come to Lujiayu again sooner or later to seek revenge, and he could just take this opportunity to encourage Lu Su to take the villagers of Zhuang to follow him across the Yangtze River to settle in Moling, and gradually enrich the population of Moling County.

This is simply a chance to kill two birds with one stone as a reward from God, and Liu Wei will not let it slip out of his hands!

"Wen Chang, you quickly take fifty horsemen, return to the camp overnight, let Mu Guiying and Gan Ning pull out the camp to the east, and the whole army will come to save Lujiazhuang!"

"No!"

Wei Yan agreed, ordered fifty knights, and whistled: "Follow me!" ”

The hoofs of the horses rumbled, and the fifty horsemen rolled up the dust and headed west.

"Let's go, I'll also help the villagers of Lujiayu make ice and block the attack of the Gepi thieves."

Under the leadership of Liu Wei, more than 150 people rode horses to the "moat river" outside the village and dismounted, and joined the "ice-making" army.

Hearing Liu Bowen say that this thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was the former Son of Heaven and the current King of Hongnong, Lu Su hurriedly came to pay homage and knelt on the ground: "Cao Min Lu Su, I have seen His Royal Highness King Hongnong!" ”

Liu Wei took the opportunity to take a look at Lu Su, he was very young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at his heavenly court full and round, with a rich and noble face, a pair of eyes that were very keen, and he was not as honest and honest as described in the novel.

"Oh, I have heard for a long time that Lu Zi is a great name for righteousness and wealth, and the widow still has to rely on you to help in order to get through the difficulties, so there is no need to make this great gift."

Liu Wei pulled Lu Su up from the ground and held his hand enthusiastically. In order to deceive Mr. Zijing's property and the people, he must be a qualified actor. If you want to be a good emperor, learning to act is an essential lesson.

Lu Su was moved by King Hongnong's approachability, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the king can come to my Lujiazhuang, otherwise I don't know how to deal with this catastrophe today!" ”

Liu Wei patted the back of Lu Su's hand and said with deep affection: "The king, the boat is also; The people, the water! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. You are the people of the widow, and you are also the sea of the widow, and the ship of the widow is still sailing on the sea of your ocean, how can you not be saved from death? Zijing rest assured, I have sent someone back to the camp to bring rescuers, and they will arrive at dawn. ”

Lu Su couldn't help but be moved inexplicably, what a good emperor, he can say such a profound truth at a young age, and when he grows up, he must be a Ming Jun comparable to Yao Shun, I just followed him and calculated!

"However, we must not be merciful to those rebellious ministers and thieves!"

Liu Wei changed his words and said loudly, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, if the Ge Pi thief breaks through Lujiazhuang, he still doesn't know how to treat the villagers, so we should punish them with more cruel means." How can you just make ice? There should be some thistles, antlers or something on it, so that the thieves can understand the truth that the devil is one foot higher and one foot higher, so that those rebellious ministers and thieves can repent! ”

"The king has a point."

Lu Su agreed, and ordered hundreds of doormen to go to the village to take out some thistles, antlers, thorns, etc., while the ice on the water surface was not yet thick, and put them on it, and then they would definitely be able to kill and injure the Ge Pi thief.

Just when the doorman went to set up the trap, Lu Su also quietly looked at Liu Wei. The heart said that this young king is powerful, and there is a dark heart hidden under the surface of justice, Liu Bowen and I didn't expect to arrange a secret weapon on the ice, but he could think of this vicious move. The combination of rigidity and softness, decisive killing, will become a great weapon in the future.

Torches lined up on the wall within a radius of several miles in Lujiazhuang, shining like day under the wall, and with the concerted efforts of thousands of old and young women and children, a frozen world was finally created in half an hour. All kinds of hidden weapons, thorns, and antlers are frozen on the ice, making people shudder. If you are not careful under your feet, you will inevitably be covered in bruises.

"Quick, enter the village, the Ge Pi thief is coming!"

Half an hour later, the sentry standing on the gatehouse shouted at the top of his voice.

Two or three miles to the east, the torch-lit sky was like day, and the stars were swaying like the sky in the wilderness, and the shouts and clamor were getting closer and closer as the dust that covered the sky and the sun advanced.

"Enter the village, raise the suspension bridge!"

Without waiting for Lu Su to speak, Liu Wei took over the command.

This battle was unskilled, using the ice skates and walls on the ground to resist the siege of the Getty thieves, and then waiting for reinforcements to arrive. I can take this opportunity to brush up on my command experience, and at the same time establish an image in the hearts of the people and Zhuang Ding.

"Everyone queues up to enter the village, and it must not be crowded to avoid stampede. The old and young women and children are in front, and the guests of Zhuang Ding are behind, and if there is a violation of the order, it will be investigated. ”

Accompanied by Liu Bowen, Lu Su, and Hua Rong, Liu Wei stood on top of the gatehouse with a sword and issued orders loudly. If it is not strictly controlled, thousands of people will flock into the village, which will inevitably cause a stampede accident.

Under Liu Wei's command, order became orderly, with old and young women and children in front, and strong men behind, and thousands of people retreated into Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and even stepped on their toes without even happening.

After entering the wall, under the leadership of the leader, each of them dropped the belongings in their hands, took up their bows and arrows, picked up spears and forks, and climbed the wall step by step, preparing for defense.

Just when the suspension bridge was "squeaked" and the gate of the village was "rumbled" and closed, five or six thousand thieves also swept in, shouting in unison, and surrounded Lujiazhuang.
