Chapter 281 meet

Ou Sheng accompanied Ou Xiong, watched Song Lin's figure gradually disappear into the wind and rain, and said, "Brother, Liu Jing..."

Ou Xiong glared at his clan brother with a sinister look, and said in a hateful voice: "If I hear you calling Liu Zhongda's name again, I will cut off your head, so as to save you from dying at the hands of other people because of your lack of respect. , and then I will be implicated and suffer together with you."

Ou Sheng laughed dryly, then shut his mouth firmly and acted like a mute.

However, it was said that Song Lin took a cronies through the back forest, and in order to minimize the risk of exposure, he went west and bypassed a mountain before heading north.

However, even though they were so careful, and it was raining heavily and their vision was blurred, the two of them still almost bumped into the Jingzhou army scouts.

Fortunately, they escaped into the forest in time and successfully escaped the detection of the scouts.

Song Lin and his cronies rested for a while before continuing to march towards Ling County with difficulty.

…………

Liu Jing, dressed in a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, was accompanied by Chu Fang on the southern city wall for inspection.

The rammed earth city wall is strong and durable, and it is not afraid of anything except rain.

Although Liu Jing spent a lot of effort in building Ling County, it still cannot change the natural law that soil is afraid of water.

Liu Jing was not unprepared for this. Before the war, he deliberately stockpiled a large amount of grass thatch, that is, a straw mat made of rice straw, which covered the city wall in rainy days to keep out the rain.

What Liu Jing didn't expect was that the weather was extremely abnormal these few days. It rained heavily for seven or eight days in a row. No matter how many layers of grass thatch the city wall was covered with, it would not help.

Because the north and east walls are facing the water, it is difficult for the enemy to attack from these two directions, so Liu Jing hardly repaired them. Now that the wall section has partially collapsed, Liu Jing had to ask his soldiers to temporarily seal the gap with wooden fences.

Even the wall sections repaired by Liu Jing on the west and south sides have cracks to varying degrees.

Liu Jing has never regretted for a moment like now that he did not use brick wrapping technology to build the city wall.

As early as three years ago, that is, the first year he came to Ling County, he had this idea. However, with the rapid growth of the strength of his subordinates, food, armor, weapons, ships... more and more places to spend money. The more, in contrast, the city wall is not a top priority, so in the end it will be nothing.

If I had known today, Liu Jing would have gritted his teeth and squeezed out money to cover the city wall with bricks. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

While Liu Jing was frowning at the city wall, Ma Zhou, who was in charge of guarding the west gate, received a report from the soldiers. The scouts met two people in the suburbs.

Ma Zhou raised his eyebrows, his first reaction was Ou Xiong, and then he drove this idea out of his mind, this idea is too absurd.But besides Ou Xiong, who else?

If he couldn't figure it out, Ma Zhou didn't think about it anymore. He would know if we met, and he immediately asked the soldiers to bring him to him.

Soon, Song Lin was led by the soldiers into the school where Ma Zhou was. When he took off the bamboo hat on his head, Ma Zhou was stunned.

Song Lin, Ou Xiong's brother-in-law, is also an old acquaintance. In the previous battle in the market, he and Cai Sheng teamed up to attack Ou Xiong. Song Lin and four followers stopped him, and Ma Zhou even cut him with a sword.

Song Lin also groaned secretly in his heart, who was not good to meet, why did he meet Ma Zhou?With a forced smile on his face, he said: "Ma Jun, I'm here on behalf of my brother-in-law Ou Yuanbo this time, to ask to see Liu Jun, and to discuss something important."

Ma Zhou said with a half-smile, "Uncle Qu Yuan wants to see Jun Liu? This is really rare. Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west?"

Song Lin bowed his bow and said, "I dare not joke. I really have something important to discuss with Liu Jun. Please Ma Jun, please pass it on for me."

As the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are courteous. Song Lin lowered his posture so much that Ma Zhou could not force him too much. He snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn't about Mr. Liu, I would have killed you with a single sword. How could I let you Gossip in front of me."

Ma Zhou turned around and took off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat on the wall, put them on and said, "Follow me, I will take you to meet Liu Jun."

"Mr. Lao Ma." Song Lin cupped his hands and said.

Liu Jing met Song Lin in the gate tower on the south city wall. After many days of heavy rain, the gate tower built with rammed earth has been devastated, and it is not as majestic and solemn as before. Fortunately, it was built with care, but it did not collapse. .

"I'm Song Lin, and pay my respects to Liu Jun." Song Lin knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Although Liu Jing already had some guesses in his heart, he still couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why did you come here this time?"

Song Lin said slowly: "My brother-in-law, Ou Yuanbo, disrespected Mr. Liu many years ago, so he was moved to Baqiu to guard the river by Mr. Zhang. When Ou Yuanbo was in Baqiu, he couldn't help but reflect on his past behavior. at..."

Liu Jing couldn't help but laugh, Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou even laughed out loud, would Ou Xiong reflect on his own mistakes?This is simply a fantasy.

Song Lin turned a blind eye to this, and said: "The year before last, the Northern Army sent [-] troops to the south, and Ou Yuanbo led us to fight bloody battles with the Northern Army in Baqiu for many days. However, Wu Ju secretly defected to the North, which caused the Baqiu defenders to panic. Defeated, we lost to the enemy, and unfortunately were captured by the northern army. Ou Yuanbo refused to betray his master and was imprisoned in Baqiu for two years. It was not until this year that Mr. Zhang died of illness that Ou Yuanbo led us to join the northern army .”

Liu Jing nodded slightly. To be honest, he was quite surprised that Ou Xiong had such a character. If it was him, he would never be able to do it.

Song Lin continued: "I waited to join the Northern Army, not out of sincerity, I only made such a choice because I thought the overall situation in Jingnan was settled. However, I didn't expect that Liu Jun rose up in the south, and with a mere county, he suffered repeated setbacks. The Northern Army is famous in the state of Chu, and we, the people of Changsha, are honored.

In the past, we had personal grudges with Liu Jun, and public enmity with the Northern Army. Therefore, this time, I will come to meet Liu Jun on behalf of Ou Yuanbo. As long as Liu Jun promises to ignore the past, I will lead two thousand soldiers to surrender to Liu Jun. We can also contact other Changsha people in the Northern Army. "

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? Uncle Qu Yuan is so courageous. As long as I promise, he won't hesitate to take the lives of himself and the [-] plays under his command?"

Song Lin bowed again and said: "I was ignorant before, offended Liu Jun, and got the punishment I deserved. Now we all know that Liu Jun is a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness, and he must follow his words, so only Liu Jun One promise, and I will return."

Liu Jing turned his head and looked at Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou who were looking down. They looked at each other and said with a smile: "Since Qu Yuanbo knows the difference between personal grievances and public enmity, shouldn't we be as good as him?"

Liu Jingchong and the two nodded slightly, and said to Song Lin: "Okay, I promise you to wait, all the dirty things in the past will be wiped out today."
