stubborn thief

Chapter 197

There was a beautiful woman sitting at the banquet, which added a catfish effect to the leaders of Qingyang Mansion.

Han Chaozai and Tian Jin'an talked about each other with joy and excitement, telling stories about besieging cities and attacking villages, and commenting on how to use troops from time to time.

Just listening to the chat, it seems like a god descending from the earth.

In addition to bragging, from time to time, he secretly glanced at Bailiuxi and Yunjiayue from the corner of his eye.

Liu Chengzong is just the opposite, he is very silent.

Fan Sanlang tiptoed to the side, and softly persuaded: "Marshal, move your eyes, you are embarrassing the two girls."

Liu Chengzong came back to his senses and smiled, and asked in a low voice, "What did you do?"

"Walking the horses, Hongqi needs water, and by the way, help the Dai Guan team set up camp for their people."

Liu Shizi said: "Come, come, sit down and watch together."

Fan Sanlang frowned when he heard that, who the hell, he just watched it by himself, and he dragged me to watch it together: "Do not look at evil."

Liu Chengzong was fooled.

He wondered, why don't other girls wear clothes?
And it was wrapped tightly.

"Sit down, sit down, I'm not as good-looking as you, so your eyes will be even." Liu Chengzong said seriously: "We can't take advantage of others for nothing."

Liu Chengzong is particularly boring.

Han Chaozai was sitting on his left, Tian Jin'an was next to Han Chaozai, and Han Shipan and Han Shiyou were beside them, they chatted non-stop and wanted to say something to him from time to time.

The key point is that the things I talk about are very boring. They are all about sieges, wars and so on. Liu Chengzong can't arouse any interest.

You guys are so awesome.

None of the five cities in one prefecture, four counties, and five cities in Qingyang Prefecture has been captured yet.

Of the ten post cities, only Songzhuang and Shaozhuang in Malan Mountain, and Pengyuan and Zhengping in Ningzhou are gone, but three of the four post cities were rebelled by Yang Yaoxi when he plundered.

The remaining Zhengping station was poorly managed by the postman, who was more severely detained than the postman who was beaten to death by Wei Qian'er, forcing the postman to turn back.

So what are you guys doing?

What is besieging a city and attacking a stronghold, why is it not called besieging a city and pulling out a stronghold?Because they didn't attack.

Fan Sanlang was dumbfounded, he stood blankly and was pushed to the side by Liu Chengzong to sit down.

It was the first time I heard Liu Shizi praise her for being pretty, and then I saw Bai Liuxi's small earrings and headgear, Fan Sanlang felt aggrieved in his heart.

She had always thought that Liu Shizi treated him like a man, that she wouldn't let her sleep on the bed, fell on the back of a horse and a mule, and let her throw away everything she dressed up.

Letting me wear [-] catties and running around all over the mountain every day, and hacking hundreds of times... I feel sad, now you know that I am a woman, no matter how good-looking a person is, I can't do this all day long!
Liu Shizi is shaking his head with emotion. He is 1.8 meters tall, but his weight is obviously not enough. Otherwise, Tianzi's No. [-] heroine is really a dream come true.

Turning around to see that Fan Sanlang was calming down, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Fan Sanlang shook his head and whispered, "If you like them, just keep them."

"Look at their people, how are they?"

"Team Dai said..." Fan Sanlang was a little short of words on how to describe Bailiuxi's tribe, so he borrowed Dai Daozi's words and said, "It's not very likely that a pool of horsemen will win against them."

This was actually a bit complicated for Fan Sanlang, she didn't understand it, so she added another sentence: "The Dai Guan team is a little too big, there are seven to eight hundred people."

Liu Chengzong shook his head, he knew the people in Bailiuxi well, and said: "Then we can't stay."

Even though Liu Shizi overestimated the martial arts of Bai Liuxi and others, after all, Han Chaozai didn't say clearly that it was a flower gun for performance, he thought it was Shaolin's flower gun.

Dai Daozi had a very low evaluation of the combat power of his followers.

The subtext of this evaluation is that there is no military training.

To put it bluntly, there are strengths and weaknesses in martial arts. If Bai Liuxi is a master of using spears or spears, or a master of fists and feet, Liu Shizi can use fists and feet or similar weapons even after taking off his armor.

There is also a slight possibility of being beaten all over the place.

But this did not delay Liu Chengzong's feeling that a dozen or so martial arts masters, leading six or seven hundred civilians who were starving and thieves, might be able to scare them away from the arrows and trample on each other by shooting left and right by themselves.

He can do it, so can Dai Daozi, and a pool of horsemen is even better. Whether he can do more is related to courage and intelligence, and has little to do with martial arts.

Cao Yao sat on the other side. He was an old man. He found that Liu Chengzong had been staring at Bai Liuxi and the two of them. He smiled and cupped his hands from a distance.

As soon as Sister-in-law Cao sat next to them, Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue felt less embarrassed, and the three women began to chat.

It's just that in this way, Liu Chengzong didn't look over there, and concentrated on chatting with Fan Sanlang.

"Why can't you keep it? It looks good, so you just stay by your side and watch it every day." Fan Sanlang was very curious: "It's not all about marrying a wife, marrying a virtuous man, taking concubines and sex, I haven't heard that you can find them by running around."

Fan Sanlang kept talking in a low voice, but he didn't expect this sentence to directly amused Liu Chengzong: "Where are you going? I didn't want to ask my mother-in-law."

Fan Sanlang smiled and said: "I didn't want to ask my mother-in-law, so you still keep looking at her."

"It's pretty." Liu Shizi took it for granted, "Isn't it normal to be attracted to one's beauty?"

The person in his mind wants to be sexually aroused countless times a day, but they are all out of love and end in courtesy.

Liu Shizi doesn't want to beg his mother-in-law. In the university, it is said that self-cultivation can only be done with sincerity. If you haven't seen a few beauties, how do you know what you want?
Only when you see the color, you want to understand it, and then you can know whether it is what you want.

Could it be that only Mr. Xu Yangming can make bamboos, but can't I be the lion marshal to be beautiful?
"Isn't it... normal?"

Looking at him as if it should be taken for granted, Fan Sanlang was not so confident when he came to his lips.

She also doesn't know much about men's minds.

Anyway, she found that Liu Chengzong was different from others. She always thought that it was normal to see a beauty secretly or not at all.

But she didn't expect Liu Chengzong to say that, and she felt in a daze that it seemed normal to look at it openly.

She was persuaded by Liu Chengzong's unreasonable reasoning, so she followed suit and nodded while watching: "She is indeed a beauty!"

But she still felt that Liu Shizi paid too much attention to combat effectiveness. She said: "I think I can stay and let them follow along. There are many women in the team and they can help with a lot of things."

"I'm so sleepy that I can't keep my eyes open to wash clothes. I'm also a soldier and a slave. Why don't you find some women who specialize in washing clothes?"

Hey, let's not talk about it, the little thing makes sense.

Liu Chengzong was injured some time ago, and blood would always ooze from his sleeves and stain his clothes.

Those clothes were washed by Fan Sanlang, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes every day, and he almost fell into the basin several times.

There are several women in the luggage team, but they can't do all the work in the Lion Camp.

In fact, it is normal for leaders of all walks of life to have women in the team.

In some people, women can even account for one-third of the team.

But Liu Chengzong had great resistance to this matter. He always remembered the part of the way Wu Qianzong was beaten by Zhang Xiong after Mr. Wu committed suicide.

At that time, the team was full of hungry people, and those who ran behind were either old people or women. They hadn’t been hungry for a few days or suffered much, and they were all normal people. .

Many of those who were not so capable of fighting, or were unlucky, died on the road and were killed by the Yan'an Guard Banner Army.

Therefore, in my heart, I always feel that women and the elderly are burdens, and they will kill others because of their incompetence.

Even Fan Sanlang joined and was not allowed to sleep on the bed every day, just to practice his ability to escape day and night.

But it worked.

Today, Fan Sanlang still cannot maintain heavy armor, so he usually wears chain mail wherever he goes to let his body get used to the weight.

After a few months, she has been able to do very well, and she is also proficient in sleeping on horseback like a veteran, and she will never fall off again.

She is becoming more and more like a soldier.

Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue seem to have some skills, so they won't be a burden, but they are also leaders, and hundreds of people follow them to eat.

Those people are cumbersome.

If he can't stay, no matter whether he just let others go away or use the bloody harvest of the entire Lion Camp army to make money, it will make him feel that he is not a thing.

Liu Chengzong was not the only one who felt bored. The whistle chiefs of the Lion Camp all talked about their own things, but there was one Li Laojie who couldn't bear Tian Jin'an's bragging.

He said: "Boss Tian, ​​you are so powerful, beat Heshui County? Just in front, if this city is not beaten, there is no way to transport westward if there is food!"

Originally, it was Li Laoyu's words of fighting spirit, but Yang Yao took the words: "Heshui City is indeed a problem. It guards the nearest road to Qingyangfu City. The city is built on the North Mountain on Wednesday, and there is a beacon tower on the mountain. The beacon fire is ignited , it can be heard from Qingyang Fucheng and Qingyangwei forty miles away."

"Beichuan flowing north-south to the east of the city meets Dongchuan flowing east-west, forming Heshuichuan, which flows westward. Only a stone bridge on the river outside Dongguan can pass through."

As soon as he heard that the car couldn't pass, Cao Yao became impatient: "What should I do if I can't pass?"

Yang Yao added: "Small cars can pass, but big cars can't. Before I entered Qingyang, the commander-in-chief ordered not to harm the people. I was afraid of robbing the city magistrate and summoning the people to defend it, so I left the city alone. I thought I would return to Yan'an Woolen cloth."

Liu Chengzong was delighted when he heard it, he couldn't pass the big carts, and he couldn't pass the grain carts with a heavy load of [-] catties.

Heshui County, which stands in front of him, must be broken, but these land tigers of Qingyang Mansion may not be useful.

He asked Tian Jin'an, "Boss Tian, ​​you are stationed in this mountain, how many guards are there in Heshui County?"

"The defenders are all three classes of yamen servants, city guards, postmen, and gentry regiments. There are more than 500 people in one piece, but the walls are high and deep, and they are at the confluence of two rivers. It is really easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Liu Chengzong heard that the city was difficult to deal with, and wanted to avoid casualties among his subordinates, so he stretched out his hand and said: "One thousand stones of rice grain, think of a way to break it."

Tian Jin'an faced difficulties.

A thousand shi of rice is not a small temptation for him.

However, after thinking about it again and again, he simply handed over his hands and begged for mercy: "To tell the truth, Commander, I only have 600 people under my command."

"There was a siege some time ago, and Jiang Yingchang in Nazhi County was already on guard, so he couldn't beat him."

Liu Shizi laughed, this guy can't get free money from the imperial court, and he thinks of the rebels coming here to get free money?
He turned to look at others again: "Which leader is willing to destroy this city?"

No one spoke, even if they only listened to Yang Yao and Tian Jinan's introduction to the city, they knew that Heshui City was not easy to attack. It had walls and a moat, and there were mountains in the north and valleys in the south. A strong attack would kill many people.

Maybe there will be no food pressure after people die.

Seeing that no one of them spoke, Liu Chengzong smiled and said, "Then it seems that I have to come to this city, then I will come. As for the lack of food and grass that the leaders said, I have a suggestion."

At this time, Han Chaozai, Tian Jin'an, and the subordinates sent by the brothers from the Liu family in the north were all a little less imposing.

When it comes to field battles, the frontier troops might dare to fight each other, but the siege of a city is really not a matter of courage.

Separated by the moat, even the city wall cannot be touched, so many people will die.

But when they asked for food, they were very active, and they didn't talk when they wanted to work. They were all embarrassed, and they didn't have the face to ask for food.

"The leaders have a lot of people under their command. I need your help for a small favor. I am short of shoes and socks. You can help me get some shoes and socks, as well as a raincoat and hat."

Several leaders were particularly aggrieved.

Too contemptuous of people, isn't this just treating them as small traders!
"Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions. I want a lot. I can't buy it, so I need the help of the leaders."

Liu Chengzong waved his hands and said, "I want [-] pairs of thick-soled cloth shoes and white cloth socks."

He really didn't mean to insult others, his people are too wasteful of shoes, especially when he fought with He Huchen in the rainy mountain road before, the muddy marks could not be pulled out, and many people lost their shoes.

Moreover, He Huchen's Ningxia soldiers were also recruited, and there were also a bunch of barefoot people in this group.

What's more, for long-distance marches, the cloth soles are not very wear-resistant. Many people under his command now wear straw sandals, and some feet are worn out and they are simply barefoot.

Shoes are the most scarce armament in the Lion's Camp.

"It doesn't matter whether you buy it or make it, as long as you bring me cloth shoes and cloth socks, it's one thing, and I'll give you six catties of yellow noodles."

The unhappiness on the faces of several leaders became less.

Han Chaozai asked, "Marshal, are the shoes you've worn okay?"

Liu Chengzong never thought that someone would ask this question, he nodded in a daze and said: "As long as the worn ones are not damaged, I will give you four catties... But you don't want to snatch ordinary people's shoes, it's too ugly to snatch shoes from thieves."

Everyone laughed.

Han Chaozai was a little embarrassed. What he wanted was to go back and ask his subordinates to take off their shoes, so that they would be barefoot in the future.

Especially Bailiuxi was the happiest, and both Yunjiayue and Yunjiayue had excited expressions on their faces.

They are the best at this.

Moreover, the price is very high. Even if you sell the grain given by Liu Chengzong and go directly to the village to buy shoes, you can still get a lot of it.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengzong said again: "[-] pairs of thick cotton shoes and cotton boots, one pair of [-] catties of yellow noodles; [-] pairs of leather boots, sheepskin, cowhide, I don't care what kind of leather, the same twenty catties of yellow noodles noodle."

"There are also bamboo hats and oil coats, [-] sets, and [-] catties of yellow noodles." After Liu Chengzong finished speaking, he watched everyone's reactions, and said with a smile: "As long as the things are sent over, there is no problem, and the food can be directly weighed and brought back. There will be no deductions. "

After that, he changed the subject: "The price I gave is very suitable. Even if you buy it, you will still make money. If anyone lets me know and grabs the shoes, don't blame me for turning your back on him."

Just when several leaders were happy to have a job of exchanging food, Bai Liuxi, who was seated last, cupped his hands and asked: "General Marshal, if the sisters from the slave family are mixed into Heshui County to serve as internal support, how much food can be rewarded for breaking the city?" ?”

　good afternoon!
