After Liu Yu agreed to Wei Song's request, Wei Song originally wanted to talk to Liu Yu more to strengthen their friendship. c八 c八 cRead c book, ■o↑
But before the two armies could talk about it, another guard from the Yamen Army in Qingzhou came to report to Liu Yu, saying that a general from the Guangping Beggar Army was seeking an audience outside the camp.
"Which military commander in the beggar army?" Liu Yu glanced at Wei Song after hearing this. Could it be that he came with Wei Song.
However, Wei Song quickly signaled that he had never told anyone and had come quietly by himself.
"General, this person calls himself Liu Yang, who is begging for life."
Liu Yu had some impressions of this name. Liu Yang, with the same surname, was also a powerful commander in the Guangping Begging Army. He seemed to be from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. He had been a beggar since the Begging Army moved eastward. A member of the army.
"Why is he here?" Wei Song was a little surprised after hearing the guard's words.
However, Wei Song came to ask for a meeting with Liu Yu. He didn't want others in the beggar army to know about it. He immediately hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Yu and left from another direction under the leadership of the Qingzhou Army guards.
Not long after Wei Song left, a muscular man in his thirties, led by a Qingzhou guard, lowered his head and entered the camp.
"Taiyuan Liu Yang, I met the general."
Just as he had done with Wei Song just now, Liu Yu immediately stretched out his hand to help him up, and immediately ordered someone to fetch a seat, and invited Liu Yang to sit down.
This Liu Yang seemed to be a flexible person at first glance, and after giving Liu Yu some rare treasures as gifts.
Soon they started talking by saying that they both had the same surname of Liu.
After several conversations, Liu Yu finally found out that this Liu Yang had lived in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and his ancestors were from the line of kings of the Western Han Dynasty. Although he had fallen into desolation hundreds of years ago and no longer received any preferential treatment from the descendants of the royal family, his family was still there. Taiyuan is quite powerful locally.
However, since their family followed Sima Tengdong to live in the east, they, the former Bingzhou powerful people, have long been "a phoenix in distress worse than a chicken."
After the two chatted for a long time, they finished all the old stories about the two families that had been lonely for hundreds of years.
At this time, Liu Yu directly asked what the beggar handsome Liu Yang was here for late at night. It was probably not to talk about the clan and get relatives with him.
After listening to Liu Yu's straightforward inquiry, Liu Yang said with some caution.
"Hehe, there is indeed something small that I want to ask the general for."
Liu Yang, the beggar handsome man, said cautiously.
Sure enough, Liu Yang, the beggar handsome man, and Wei Song who had just left, also took the opportunity of making friends with Liu Yu to send one of his sons to Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou.
As a member of the beggar army, Liu Yang was unwilling to leave the beggar commander Chen Wu, but he was also unwilling to risk the annihilation of his entire family, so he chose a shrewd and strong son as the last line to continue the Liu family in Taiyuan. Assure.
"Well, Brother Liu, please feel free to worry about this matter. You and I are both descendants of Gaodi Miao. I will treat my brother and son as my kinsmen and nephews. What do you think?"
Liu Yu understood that this request was probably the last bit of selfishness of Wei Song, Chen Wu, and Liu Yang, the begging troops who fought against the barbarians.
After listening to Liu Yu's words, Liu Yang, the beggar soldier, was moved in his heart.
Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty also knew what Liu Yu said. Just one sentence made the beggar Liu Yang feel excited. ¤八¤八¤Read¤Books,☆←o
You must know that at this time, the surname Liu was no longer the surname of the emperor, and there were already more than 100,000 people surnamed Liu in the world, so it should not be a big problem.
As a result, the vast majority of people with the surname Liu from different places, especially Liu Yu and Liu Yang, who came from poor families that had been in decline for hundreds of years, rarely established relationships even if they met.
"Well, the words "General" are already worth ten thousand words."
Waves of regret surged in Liu Yang's heart. If it hadn't been for Chen Wu, the beggar commander, who was so kind to these begging generals, they would have given up on Guangping, a "thin-skinned and big stuffing" army. The city went eastward to Qingzhou.
After all, the Qingzhou Army's system of farming and occupation fields allows a family to own a considerable amount of land. Although it takes a lot of time throughout the year to practice killing enemies, almost even so, the life is better than staying in Guangping. hundred times.
The beggar army Liu Yang, like Wei Song, also repeatedly warned Liu Yu that his son Liu Meng was Liu Yu's favorite, and he must not let Chen Wu know that it was Liu Yang who begged for a life. They came to ask for marriage.
Just when the two started to share the same interest in chatting, and the relationship between the two armies was getting to a higher level, another Qingzhou guard came outside Liu Yu's camp.
"General Qi, there is another beggar army, oh, it is the leader of the beggar army in Guangping who is here to see you."
the trooper said.
Liu Yu looked at each other and asked.
"But first, let me ask, who is coming?"
"Go back to the general. The person who came here says he is Xu Chong, a beggar soldier."
Liu Yu was also somewhat impressed by the name of this beggar soldier Xu Chong.
Liu Yang, the beggar soldier on the side, was also a little surprised when he heard Xu Chong's name. He didn't care to continue talking to Liu Yu, and immediately said goodbye and left the Qingzhou Army camp.
Instruct the guards to escort Liu Yang, the beggar soldier, out of the military camp.
Afterwards, Liu Yu immediately gave instructions to the guards.
"Hurry and invite General Xu Chong, the beggar army, in."
. . . . .
On the next day, beggar commanders Chen Wu and Hao Ting led their respective generals to the Qingzhou Army camp to prepare for the distribution of the captured spoils.
This time, almost all of Chen Wu’s subordinates, the beggar handsome man, were here.
Liu Yu glanced at Chen Wu's generals. Well, basically more than half of them came to "secretly" pay homage to him last night.
What these people said were very similar, but they arranged for their nephew to go to Qingzhou to escape temporarily. After all, several counties in Hebei were already ravaged by barbarians, and it was difficult to have sufficient opportunities for farming and farming.
When Chen Wu's generals saw Liu Yu looking at them, they all just stared at Liu Yu's face. The funny thing was that they all thought that only a few people went to see Liu Yu last night. Most people, like Chen Wu, are bent on killing Hu.
Therefore, Liu Yu took this opportunity to tell Chen Wu the names of all the people who begged him to take in his nephew last night, and told Chen Wu that Ran Liang, who had been asked to join the Qingzhou Army, was a role model for young generals. Therefore, Liu Yu still needed to get more young beggars. In this way, he could not only help the beggar army save food, but also save the martyrs who stayed behind to kill Hu from the worries of losing the battle and destroying their whole families.
When Liu Yu relied on his memory to read out the names of the people provided by the beggar commander who had visited him last night, there were more than ten.
Suddenly, the scene was quiet and the atmosphere was very awkward.
All the generals recruited by Chen Wu, the handsome beggar, looked at each other, and everyone had a look in their eyes that said, "So you think so too."
After hearing Liu Yu say a series of names, beggar handsome Chen Wu did not immediately express his position, and the expression on his face did not seem to change at all and remained calm.
After waiting for a while, beggar handsome Chen Wu suddenly laughed and said boldly.
"Since the general favors the children of the beggar army so much, of course Chen cannot stop him. I think the brothers of the beggar army who are around Chen will not object."
After hearing what Chen Wu said, the generals of the Guangping begging army present nodded in agreement.
All these begging military generals seemed to relax, and even let out a gentle sigh of relief.
The scene in front of him even made Liu Yu feel a little jealous.
How could Chen Wu, the handsome beggar commander, be supported by so many beggar army generals? Even leaving Chen Wu under pressure was something that his generals did not dare or were unwilling to do.
Chen Wu, the handsome beggar, seemed to have not finished speaking. He smoothed his beard with his hand and continued to speak to Liu Yu.
"General, how about this. I have more than just these young men in my begging army. There are also many good young men who have been familiar with bowing and horses since they were young. As long as the general controls them well, they will all be able to kill thieves for the general in the future."
After hearing what the beggar handsome Chen Wu said, not only was it beyond Liu Yu's expectation, but even the rest of the beggar army generals did not expect that the beggar handsome Chen Wu would agree so happily, and even to make more reasonable suggestions.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of Liu Yu and everyone else, Chen Wu knew that this matter seemed to be very necessary.
Because Chen Wu knew that the beggar troops under him had already developed very pessimistic thoughts about their own future, otherwise they would not have joined forces with Liu Yu to send their nephews to Qingzhou.
For these, the beggar commander Chen Wu thought, in this case, it is better to withdraw all the young soldiers with average physical strength but average appetite to Qingzhou first. If the situation changes in the future, for these poor people who have no place to stand, .
After all, they are the ones who care most about preserving their own bloodline.
In the end, when Liu Yu led the Qingzhou Army to leave Guangping County and embark on the journey back to Qingzhou, not only did Haoting's five thousand begging soldiers and more than 10,000 begging family members pass by, but there were also hundreds of Guangzhou soldiers. A young man who begs for help from the army.
Most of these young men are between the ages of 11 or 12 to 14 or 15. According to the agreement between Liu Yu and the beggar commander Chen Wu, these young beggar soldiers will serve in the Qingzhou Army in the name of young volunteers. If In the future, the situation of the Quang Binh begging army will improve, and they can be taken back at any time.
Although it seems to be a loss-making deal, after all, the real combat effectiveness of these half-grown child soldiers is very weak, and violent teenagers like Ran Long are really the exception.
However, Liu Yu knew that the situation in the north and south of the Yellow River would not get better in the future, and would become worse and worse. Not only would various natural disasters become more serious, but the Huns and Han thieves from all walks of life would also become more and more arrogant and powerful.
By then, Liu Yu believed that with his continuous kind help, the desperate army of beggars would definitely think of him. In this way, just by creating a resounding reputation, he could attract a large number of tribesmen. Mouth.
It was not until five days later that Liu Yu led his team to Jibei County and returned to his territory safely.
The reason why the march is so slow is because Liu Yu's huge team not only has more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qingzhou Army and the Begging Army, but also more than 10,000 family members of the Begging Army. More importantly, there are also More than 30,000 people, tribes and other people migrated from Guangping.
After just returning to Jibei County, Liu Yu began to lead the beggar army Hao Ting and others to patrol various places, allocate land to the beggar army who were about to settle in Jibei County, and then ascend the throne one by one and establish military households.
However, just as it all started, something unexpected happened that interrupted everything.
This matter was arranged by Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, and Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, went north to crusade against Qingzhou. Xizuo had already brought back the news.
"Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, has recruited more than 30,000 good men in Xuzhou. It is estimated that these 30,000 Xuzhou troops will be assembled and prepared in no more than five days. It is estimated that they will arrive in Jibei County within ten days."
Liu Yu immediately summoned the generals in Jibei County to discuss how to deal with this attack by Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun.
Prior to this, Liu Yu discussed with a group of generals that if the Jin army led by Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun was defeated, then Wang Dun's Yangzhou army, which went north from Yangzhou, would probably return without success, because it only relied on one route to the east of the Yangtze River. It is difficult for Yangzhou soldiers to cross the high mountains of Langya and launch an effective attack on Qingzhou.
"I didn't expect that Pei Dun, a man with nothing but food and wine, could pull up another 30,000 troops. I thought he had been defeated by Wang Mi and had no troops left."
The person who spoke was Dong Ping, the general who came from Jinan County.
A few days ago, the Qingzhou Army had received news that Wang Mi, the general of the Huns and Han Dynasty who was plundering the east of the Han Dynasty, had captured several cities at the junction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou. Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun's 20,000-strong army did not fight. Since they collapsed, without even seeing the shadow of Wang Mi's rebellious army, a mutiny broke out and the entire army fled.
Suddenly, Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, who had been praised by celebrities for decades, became the laughing stock of the world.
After learning the news, Liu Yu and Dong Pingping thought that Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, would be in ruins and would no longer be able to carry out the order of the Eastern Sea King Sima Yue's Northern Expedition to Qingzhou.
"General, this matter is not simple. You only need to give me 10,000 elite soldiers, and I will be able to capture Pei Dun'er without any effort from you."
Several generals of the Yamen Army despised Pei Dun, a man with nothing but food and wine.
"For this time, it is certainly not too difficult to defeat Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou." Liu Yu calmed down the noise of his generals and continued.
"It's just that this time, my requirement for this battle is not to defeat or kill many enemy troops, but to capture as many Xuzhou soldiers as possible. You must know that Wang Mi has summoned nearly ten more soldiers in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. With ten thousand troops, if it is just to repel or even defeat the thirty thousand Xuzhou Army, it will not be of much significance. Defeating Pei Dun, who is just a loser, is already the most insignificant thing."
At this time, Liu Yu had fully realized the benefits of having a large population, so he hoped to capture these enemy troops as much as possible and add them to the strength of the Qingzhou Army.
After all, it will be very dangerous to deal with the Huns and other barbarians in the future just relying on the current population of hundreds of thousands. 11
