So I play chess

Chapter 25
The sons of the rich families in the city defense army were originally offshoots with some martial arts skills, but when they came to the army, they relied on their status, refused to accept discipline, and even neglected to practice.

After the Liangzhou army entered the city, these people not only suffered enough, but also worried about their lives every day, and now they are forced to go to the battlefield.

At this time, seeing the eunuch lead the troops back, and hearing someone shouting in the formation, each one of them immediately strengthened their courage and turned to kill the Liangzhou army beside them.

However, something happened suddenly, Liu Zhuo's reinforcements rushed into the formation, and the blade pointed at the three hundred or so children of the big family.

The shouts of killing spread into the city through the city walls, and the lords of various families wanted to send people to investigate, but their houses were surrounded by the Liangzhou army for the reason of preventing internal and external collusion.

This situation is very similar to the Yang Mansion back then.

Thinking of this, the gentlemen naturally gave up the idea of ​​taking risks to inquire, and stayed at home in a well-behaved manner.

Six or seven hours passed after this battle. At first, the Liangzhou army in the city was orderly, and then suddenly began to dispatch and dispatch, and finally withdrew the siege altogether.

When the Tongcheng people just reacted, they could already hear someone shouting on the street.

"The prefect entered the city, and the Liangzhou army was defeated!"

The battle started suddenly and ended suddenly.There were corpses all over the city of Tongcheng, and the general Zhou Tong got off his horse to accept the surrender. The common people saw that the prefect Liu Zhuo had entered the city, and the soldiers and horses behind him had no armor. There was even a carriage inlaid with gold and jade, which was extremely gorgeous I don't know who is sitting in it.

At this time, Liu Zhu, who led the army to win the battle, had just woken up.

"Brother Li Maoxian, who is this car for?"

Before Liu Zhu entered the city, he saw someone bringing the carriage, but it was empty and there was no one in it.

As soon as Lao Zhao entered the city, he went to besiege the prefect's mansion, and he had to "take down" Wenliang in front of the people, and the play was really over.But Li Mao stayed by Liu Zhu's side all the time, and when he saw him asking questions, he replied, "I am the master of Tongcheng."

"Brother Yu dares to say...you are using my name to seize my city of Great Chu."

Before Liu Zhu spoke, he was still a little worried that Li Mao would break up with him if he succeeded, but seeing Li Mao's expression as usual, he said: "Brother Liu, don't be impatient, and follow me to see someone, and then we will make a decision. explain."

After Li Mao finished speaking, he galloped away, Liu Zhu gritted his teeth and was about to urge the horse to follow, but suddenly he heard a person next to him calling "Prefect".

Liu Zhu looked where the voice came from, but it was the commander of the city guard.The two haven't seen each other for a few days, and their moods have different ups and downs.At this time, Liu Zhu didn't say much when facing each other. He said that he would go with me, and then he chased Li Mao away.The commander of the defending army immediately followed.

A few people passed through the city and arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion. The play for outsiders had just ended, so Liu Zhu went straight into the mansion regardless of the number of people.The commander of the defending army was stopped outside the door.

In the mansion, Li Mao went to the main hall alone, while Liangzhou soldiers led Liu Zhu all the way to the Book Pavilion, and saw two women waiting at the door from a distance, one sitting and one standing, clearly a pair of master and servant.

The woman sitting there looked only twenty-eight years old, but there was no innocence in her eyes that girls of this age usually have. Seeing him as a man, she didn't show any shyness, on the contrary, she was more cunning.

"Nephew, aunt came late and made you suffer." Wen Gu said.

Liu Zhu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see any children.Seeing Wen Gu looking at him again, he asked, "Who are you talking to, little lady?"

Wen Gu said, "Of course it's with you."

Hearing what she said, Liu Zhu was obviously taking advantage of him, but he was angry in his heart but he couldn't get angry, so he said: "Little lady, don't joke, do you know who I am?"

Hearing his tone, Wen Gu suddenly chuckled. Although Liu Zhu felt that he was being teased by her, seeing her smile at this moment, his anger was reduced by three points.

Wen Gu smiled and said, "Of course I know who you are, even you may not be as clear as I am."

Liu Zhu thought to herself that this young lady was too old, so she followed her and asked, "Where did you start talking about this?"

Wen Gu didn't answer him, and asked again, "Do you know Liu Xia?"

"Of course I know it. It belongs to my great-grand cousin's house. We met each other a few years ago. Why do you ask this?"

This was unexpected to Wen Gu, Liu Zhu had actually met such a remote relative who was not at the same place.But whether to cheat or not is not the key.

"I belong to his family. Speaking of it, it should be your aunt."

Liu Zhu was taken aback for another moment, then he waved his hands and smiled, "Impossible, my uncle, a country man, how could he be raised like this...impossible."

All Liu Zhuo thought were compliments, but the other party teased him like this, and he praised her instead, wouldn't it be a big loss of face, so he didn't say anything.

Wen Gu smiled, "If the world is full of possibilities, why did the eunuch and I meet here at this moment?"

Wen Gu's tone was rather sharp, and before Liu Zhu could speak, he said again: "The prefect guarding a city should protect the people well, who would think that the enemy would abandon the city and flee first. Is this possible? "

"You..." Liu Zhu would not have thought that he would be scolded by a young girl in such a way that he had lived for more than forty years, and his face flushed immediately.

Wen Gu changed the subject, and said again: "Yang Wantang is a minister of the Great Chu, not to mention oppressing the prefect, but even connecting with internal and external enemies. Is this also possible?"

Liu Zhu thought yes, if Yang Wantang didn't bully me, why would I be here.But he didn't say anything.

"Since Liu Taishou has done the impossible, you must be aware of the current situation. If you want to survive, you need to do the impossible to resolve it."

Liu Zhu was still a little stubborn, and insisted: "What's my situation?"

Wen Gu's tone was a little slow, and he said: "If the eunuch doesn't know, I'll come and make some calculations for you. Although the Great Chu is chaotic, but a city's eunuch escaped before the battle, and the court didn't ask the reasons, the death penalty is inevitable. And I know that the eunuch's ambition is rare. , so he came to rescue, the eunuch could be said to be quick-witted, went out of the city to invite reinforcements, and defeated the famous Liangzhou army. Not only did he escape the death penalty, but I am afraid it was a great achievement."

Liu Zhu sneered, and said: "Is the Liangzhou army actually a young woman in charge? You Liangzhou army beat yourself up and put in so much effort to perform this play. You just want to use my reputation to occupy my big Chu city. Do you think Can't I see it?"

"Liu Taishou thinks clearly, but what's the use of you knowing these things, the most important thing now is that you have to save your own life." Wen Guben was sitting on the high platform, stood up at this moment, looked down at Liu Zhu, and said "If we were the Liangzhou army, you would first abandon the city and flee, and then lead troops into the city in a big way. When Nanchu learned that they would surely raise troops to attack, the Liangzhou army would definitely not protect you. In such a situation, you would die without life. But if we It was you who invited the reinforcements, you not only saved Tongcheng, but also took down the Liangzhou army, and since then your reputation has spread far and wide, and no one in the world knows you."

After Wen Gu finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Zhuo. He obviously listened to his own words, so his tone was a little slow: "Prefect Liu, you want to think about it carefully?"
