Chapter 746 Scheduling

After Li Bowen left, Zhou Xu summoned in turn those officials from the old dynasty who had performed well since taking office and had done everything he had arranged for him very properly.

If it should be raised, just raise it a little. If it should be adjusted, adjust it according to the situation.

After all this hard work, the afternoon has almost passed.

"The humble minister Liu Jiefang, please see the king."

It was not his first meeting with Zhou Xu, the new king, but even so, he still felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is for suddenly summoning me.

Thinking about it carefully, I haven’t done anything. I just train pigeons in the pigeon loft these days. That’s an honest duty!

Thinking of this, Liu Jiefang relaxed a little.

【Yes, I haven't done anything, what are you afraid of? ! 】

Zhou Xu, who was reviewing documents at the time, didn't know that the other party had thought so much in such a short time. At this moment, while signaling Liu Jiefang to excuse himself, he briefly paid attention to the work situation, and then got to the point.

“I’m calling you here this time because I actually have something I want to arrange for you to do.”

“Although the king has given orders, I don’t have much ability and can only raise some pigeons. That’s all.”

Liu Jiefang, who answered, first laid some groundwork for himself in case Zhou Xu made any sudden demands to make things difficult for him.

How could Zhou Xu not hear this little trick? I'm not surprised at all.

After all, after the other party surrendered, he was indeed very honest and well-behaved, and since he was half a fellow countryman, he would not make things difficult for him.

"Don't worry, I just want you to raise some pigeons."

While speaking, Zhou Xu quickly explained his next arrangements.

“Nowadays, there is no problem with carrier pigeon communication in this country, but in our original territory of Da Zhou, there are no carrier pigeons that can be used, so I want you to go there to train carrier pigeons.”< br>
When Liu Jiefang heard this, he completely relaxed.

So it’s really about raising pigeons? Then he's fine.

According to the wishes of his new king, he seems to need to move.

But it doesn't matter. After traveling through these years, Liu Jiefang has realized a truth, that is, as long as he can live well and live peacefully, nothing else matters.

After listening to Zhou Xu’s arrangements, Liu Jiefang left with a heavy load.

The following week passed quietly, and a group of patrol soldiers arranged by Zhou Xu outside Xianyang City arrived at the palace as quickly as possible...

"Your Majesty! There is an urgent report from outside the city. It is discovered that a large number of troops are approaching Xianyang City. The number of troops is estimated to be two thousand!"

After hearing the report, Zhou Xu, who was reviewing documents at the time, froze. But it soon returned to normal and arrangements were made.

"Send an order to Zhou Chongshan to lead the trapped camp out of the city to attack, intercept and kill the other side, and then fly pigeons to pass the message..."

At this point, Zhou Xu paused and made a decision immediately.

"Then Fei Ge sent a message to Green Forest City and ordered Bai Tu to lead his army to capture Xishan City. At the same time, he sent a message to Black Rock City and ordered Shi Lei to lead his army to capture Anling City!"

At this point, there will only be one person who will send a large force to attack Xianyang City, and that is Liu De, who occupies Xishan City and Anling City.

Zhou Xu originally thought that Liu De could hold on for another month or two. Who would have thought that the opponent would be unable to wait and take action so soon.

And the choice was Xianyang City, the capital city.

Although he didn't know what the other side was thinking, Zhou Xu didn't care.

What about two thousand troops? It's just a ragtag group of people, how can they be the opponent of his three hundred cavalry?

After receiving the order, the three hundred cavalrymen led by Zhou Chongshan immediately filed out. Their iron hooves stamped on the ground, making a roaring sound, and raised up the yellow sand in the sky and rushed towards the invading enemy troops! According to the descriptions of the survivors of the battle afterwards, on that day, as they advanced with the army, there was a sudden rumble from the southwest, like thunder, and a black-armored cavalry appeared in the dust.

Then before they could take a closer look, a war cry came from a distance, and the black-armored cavalry roared in unison: "The ambition to trap the enemy is life or death! ”

A full two thousand troops were defeated in an instant!

When the news came back, Zhou Xu was not surprised at all by this result.

Yan Sheng had assembled five thousand troops but could not stop his cavalry. What could the two thousand people on the opposite side do?

At this moment, the infantry units that set off later have already gone to collect the surrendered troops. If nothing else happens, they will be able to pick up a group of cheap labor for nothing.

At the same time, the battlefield outside the city was filled with wailing. Kong Daqian, who came out with the army, did not even dare to stay in the carriage. He turned around and simply got under the carriage, which allowed him to escape unexpectedly. .

Unfortunately, after the war, he still could not escape the fate of being captured.

Kong Daqian originally wanted to stay in Xishan City, under the euphemistic name of helping Liu De guard the city.

But Liu De was actually a bit worried. Knowing the current situation in the city, if he left with his large troops and those unruly people rebelled, the city would definitely fall.

So he simply went out with the army, and while taking his two favorite concubines with him, he did not forget to take his national advisor with him.

I thought that after I captured Xianyang City, I would have soldiers and food in my hands, and it would only be a matter of time to take back Xishan City.

But Kong Daqian, who was forcibly taken away at that time, was thinking about all the eighteen generations of Liu De's ancestors.

At this moment, Kong Daqian, who was being escorted by a soldier, felt his heart go cold. Looking at the style of the armor on the other side, he was afraid that he might have fallen into the hands of the tyrant Yan Sheng.

However, just as he was thinking this, a figure wearing black armor broke into his field of vision. Looking at that outfit, Kong Daqian quickly became excited.

"Trapped in the camp! Are you trapped in the camp?!"

Kong Daqian suddenly shouted, startling the soldier who was guarding him, and then subconsciously I plan to give him some color.

But Kong Daqian didn’t care so much, and quickly shouted out all the words...

“I am Kong Daqian! It was the king who arranged for me to sneak into the enemy camp. I am Dazhou People! We are from Da Zhou!”

Kong Daqian shouted these words quickly enough, and the soldier who was about to kick him was shocked when he heard it, and then his foot sprained. He didn't get hit by the kick, but he fell to the ground in embarrassment. He even twisted his foot.

During this period, the surrounding soldiers in the trapped camp heard the movement here and turned their heads to look over.

Looking at one of them, Kong Daqian’s face became even more happy.

"Major Zhou! It's me, Major Zhou! Kong Daqian!!"

Kong Daqian and Zhou Chongshan had met once in Huangsha City, and Zhou Chongshan also knew , their king arranged for each other to sneak into the enemy formation.

Now that he heard this shouting, Zhou Chongshan hurriedly walked over.

“Are you really Kong Daqian?”

“It’s me, it’s really me!”

While nodding, Kong Daqian seemed to think of something, so he simply grabbed Pick up a handful of mud and smear it all over your face.

Zhou Chongshan took a closer look and recognized it.

"It's really you!"

No way, when he met Zhou Chongshan, the other person was an old farmer with tanned and rough skin.

But since he became a national master, Kong Daqian has been pampered every day. He no longer needs to bask in the sun, and there is no need to be exposed to wind or rain. As time goes by, not only does his skin become much whiter, but his whole person looks better. Still several years younger.

Now that my face is blackened with mud, I can actually see a bit of what it was like in the past.
