Chapter 219: Spoils of War
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "You mean to let us go." ”
Liu Xin smiled bitterly: "Before last night, you were originally free, why can't you let go of this, I let people save you, treat your injuries, take you in, and help you, I don't want you to do anything, but respect Brother Wentai is a man, now, you do such illegal things, according to the laws of Jingzhou, you should be severely punished, I will let you go for the sake of Brother Wentai today, but from now on, we will break off righteousness......"
Before he could finish his words, a personal guard hurriedly ran in and whispered in his ear: "Lord Qi, Mr. Cheng has returned from Xichuan in triumph. ”
Liu Xin was overjoyed, and he didn't care about Sun Ce, and they were still tied up in the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Please, invite Zhongde here." ”
As soon as Cheng Yu entered the city gate, he knew the news that Liu Xin was seriously injured, and when he heard that Liu Xin was invited, he knew that his body was fine, so he immediately put his mind at ease, walked into the hall quickly, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates and others are fortunate to live up to their mission and have taken Chengdu, this is the head of the traitor Liu Yan, please take a look." ”
Sun Ce and the others couldn't help but be secretly surprised, they all knew that Liu Yanxiong was on one side, and there was the danger of Shu Road, some time ago, I heard that the Jingzhou army was unable to hold each other in Luocheng, and they were helpless, who knew that in just a few days, Liu Yan's head had been sent to Xiangyang,
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't look at the head, although Liu Yan is secretly colluding with Dong Thief, he is also a member of the Han family, and he is still my elder, so bury him well." ”
Cheng Yu promised and said: "The lord is merciful, his subordinates will do it, his subordinates are from Chengdu, and they also brought a few loots for the lord, please take a look." ”
With Cheng Yu's slap lightly slapped twice, the guards escorted in a few people from the outside, Liu Xin fixed his eyes, it turned out to be three women, one was already a, but the charm was still there, and the other two were wearing red dresses, one was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and the other was only a six- or seven-year-old doll.
Seeing Liu Xin's blank face, Cheng Yu pointed at the half-old with a smile and said, "Lord, this is the mother of the traitor Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, known as the ghost mother Mrs. Zhang, who is good at ghosts. ”
When the ghost mother Mrs. Zhang heard Cheng Yu introduce her, she hurriedly bowed to Liu Xinyingying, and said coquettishly: "The concubine has seen an adult. ”
Liu Xin saw that she was almost fifty years old, and she was still pretending to be innocent there, so she couldn't help but get goosebumps, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, take her down first, and take care of her." ”
Cheng Yu said again: "These two are Liu Yan's daughters-in-law, they were caught at the wedding, and they didn't even have time to enter the cave room, the big one is called Wu Amaranth, and the small one is called Fei Shuang." ”
Liu Xin didn't feel funny, no wonder they were all wearing red dresses, and they were caught at the wedding, when they heard the name Wu Amaranth, he suddenly remembered that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan in history, he robbed one of Liu Yan's daughters-in-law as his wife, and it seemed that he was also surnamed Wu, and couldn't help but say: "Wu Amaranth, you raise your head, I ask you, who is Wu Yi." ”
When Wu Yuan heard Liu Xin call her, her heart was beating non-stop, but she didn't dare to disobey his orders, so she had to raise her head slowly and said timidly: "Lord Hui, Wu Yi is my brother." ”
As soon as Liu Xin heard it, he already knew that she was indeed the Wu family who had been Liu Bei's wife, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Shu and Wu Xian, who were tied up and detained by Wuhuada, and his heart moved, beckoning to Wu Amaranth, and said, "You come forward, let me take a good look." ”
Wu Amaran knew that she was now the meat on someone else's chopping board, and on the way to Xiangyang, her brother Wu Yi repeatedly told her that no matter what, she had to please Liu Xin, which was related to the rise and fall of the entire Wu family.
Liu Xin's left arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, but his right arm was very free, he stretched out his right hand, gently pinched Wu Amaran's pointed chin, and raised her head slightly, Wu Amaranth was ashamed and afraid, her white and tender face flushed, Liu Xin couldn't help but touch her little face a few times, and then showed a hint of an elusive smile, and said: "Zhongde, I am very satisfied with this trophy you brought back, come on, send the two of them to the back." ”
Seeing Liu Xin's evil appearance, as if the two of them were usually judged, Wu Shu and Wu Xian sisters shuddered in unison,
Seeing that Wu Yuan and Fei Shuang were taken out, Liu Xin turned to Sun Ce and them, the look on his face had returned to seriousness, and said: "Listen, I still say the same thing, the soldiers of Jingzhou can only fight to help the Han, don't say that you kidnapped my son, even if you kidnap my son, don't want to blackmail me to lend a soldier." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xin paused, and her cold eyes swept over their faces one by one, which made people shudder, and saw that the Wu Shu sisters were hairy and trembling,
But I heard Liu Xin continue: "You are in Xiangyang, I treat you as guests, even if you don't do anything, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life, of course, I also know that you are all arrogant people, will not be willing to live this ordinary life, I am the same as you, I am also an ambitious person, my ambition is to revive the Han family, sweep away the troubled times, as long as you are willing, you can also become a hero of the revival of the Han Dynasty, but you have chosen a different path." ”
Wu Shu suddenly screamed: "Lord Liu, they are willing, you let me persuade them, they will be willing." ”
Liu Xin was unmoved, shook his head, and said resolutely: "Mrs. Wu, you still don't know about your son and Brother Wentai's subordinates, they will not be as willing to live as you think, I will let you leave Xiangyang immediately, and you are welcome to return to Xiangyang as a guest at any time, however, I want to warn you, if you insist on going your own way, and still regard the Han family city as the foundation of your Sun family, the next time it falls into my hands, it will no longer be my guests, but will only become my spoils." ”
Ma Yun returned to the backyard and persuaded Bian Yu and the others to go back to the room, and she didn't go to rest, she knew that in this era, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs such as antibiotics, and if the wound was infected, it was a very dangerous thing, so although she didn't close her eyes all night, she still didn't want to sleep, she wasn't too worried about Liu Xin, Liu Xin's body was strong enough, and she had been practicing martial arts for a long time, she was in a coma yesterday just because of excessive blood loss, and now it seems that there should be no big problem, Ma Yun is worried about Cai Jue,
After all, Cai Jue is still just a weak girl, and her body's resistance is far inferior to that of a man, she fainted on the spot when she hit the wall yesterday, and she didn't wake up until midnight.
Ma Yun was always by Liu Xin's side yesterday, and she never went to visit Cai Jue, but now that she thinks about it, she feels a little sorry for her, after all, she was injured to save her son.
Cai Jue's two arms and one leg were fixed, after waking up in the middle of the night, she never fell asleep again, yesterday she was still in a coma, Hua Tuo poured her hemp boiling powder, now that the medicine has passed, she only feels sore, especially half of her cheeks are even more hot and painful, seeing Ma Yun walking in, Cai Jue didn't move, only felt a sour nose, couldn't help crying,
How could Ma Yun not know her thoughts, and said softly: "Sister, don't cry, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and when the adults are busy with the things at hand, they will naturally come to see you, don't worry, I will let him give you an explanation." ”
Cai Jue didn't feel a little hot on his face, and wanted to speak, but he touched the injury on his face, and couldn't help but cry out "oops", and said with tears in his eyes: "Madam, can I take a look in the mirror." ”
Ma Yun is also a woman, of course she knows how important her appearance is to a woman, but half of Cai Jue's face is still swollen, and the slap marks left by Han Dang on it are still clearly visible. ”
Cai Jue naturally believed in Ma Yun's words, how dare she look in the mirror, and even buried her head in the bed subconsciously,
Although Liu Xin was in good health, he eventually shed a lot of blood, and he still felt very tired after sitting for a while, and when Sun Ce and the others were taken out, he lay down again, quietly listening to Cheng Yu's report,
Chengdu was taken, but Yizhou has a wide area, including the top ten counties, Liu Xin now only controls five of them, and the four counties of Yueshan, Yizhou, Yongchang and Jianning in the Nanzhong area are still in the hands of Liu Yan's henchmen and have not yet been attached, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei, who are stationed in Jiameng Pass, directly dedicated the city to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
This time, the army sent to Chengdu, the public excuse is to go out of Hanzhong, attack Chang'an, crusade against Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo, now Chengdu has been taken, the morale of the three armies is high, they have asked for battle, to take advantage of the victory to recover Hanzhong,
Cheng Yu saw Liu Xin silent, knowing that he was hesitant to continue to attack Hanzhong, so he arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that it is not appropriate to use troops now, the counties of Yizhou are not attached to the people, and they need to leave heavy troops to garrison, the battle of Luocheng, the casualties are huge, and the soldiers are urgently needed, and the surrounding Cao Ying, Yuan Shu and others are all eyeing each other, if Hanzhong is taken now, there will be one less buffer between Dong Zhuo, although we can form a three-sided encirclement of Dong Zhuo, but we are also facing the pressure of Dong Zhuo's three-sided breakthrough." ”
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Yes, now is not the time to face Dong Zhuo head-on, Xiliang Iron Cavalry has 200,000 people, plus the old army of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's strength is not less than 400,000, he can also recruit Qianghu and Southern Xiongnu soldiers and horses to help, if we fight to the death with him now, even if we can win, it will only be a tragic victory, but let the princes from all over the country sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, Yizhou is a piece of fat, just swallowed, it takes time to digest and digest it." ”
Cheng Yu saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he hurriedly continued: "The lord's words are so interesting, they are sobering, and his subordinates have something to report." ”
