Chapter 864

Everyone was amazed when they heard this. For a long time, it has been said among the people that King Xiang Yu of Chu was a cruel man, and every time he attacked a city, he would slaughter the city to vent his anger.

I never thought that I met today, and it turned out to be a kind-hearted king.

Many old people were obsequious and began to praise Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu started chatting with everyone, his eyes were soft and his attitude was approachable: "Since ancient times, for farmers, the biggest thing is spring plowing, but now it's rainy, are you all plowing in the rain? Or wait for the spring rain to stop?"

After hearing this, many old farmers started talking in a hurry, and at the end Xiang Yu finally heard some tricks.

The spring rain here in Fangling lasts for about half a month. After the rain is over, it will be sunny for more than a month. Guishou seizes the time to plant the seeds at this time. In the second month, the spring rain will start again. It will not be used. After a while, the seeds buried in the soil will take root and sprout.

After hearing this, Xiang Yu ordered people to lead these elderly people down, and sent some food, and then sent them away.

After these people left, Xiang Yu looked around at everyone: "Do you understand?"

Even if many generals and counselors were stupid, they knew what Xiang Yu had just done.

Since they arrived here, it has been raining for nearly ten days. Counting the time, there are at most twenty days left. As long as the rain stops, it will be time for the army to attack Shangyong.

Why do you want to do this?The reason is simple.Local officials are often the kind of people who eat vegetarian food in their corpses. Only farmers who have been working with the soil all their lives have formed a very accurate prediction of the climate.

Taking advantage of the rainy weather, there are many siege equipment that need to be prepared.

What Xiang Yu values ​​most is the ladder.

After passing Fangling, the terrain is already very undulating, and the road is not smooth. Fortunately, there is the Jiuchi Road built by the First Emperor, otherwise, such a large siege weapon like Jinglan would be useless.

Shangyong can also be regarded as a mountain city. Considering the terrain of Shangyong, Jinglan, a siege weapon, can hardly play its due role at all, so everything can be attacked by ladders and heavy armored infantry!
Fortunately, there is a strange person under Ji Bu's hands. He is a giant, and his body is bigger than the encounter. When he saw it for the first time, Xiang Yu was amazed. There are such people in this world?
This person can drive wild animals to fight. When he came to Fangling, he thought that he could drive the birds and beasts in the mountains. When the time comes to attack these mountain cities, it will definitely have an excellent effect.

In other words, Xiang Sheng led the people under the meeting to collect the rebels. When these refugees heard that the state of Chu had treated them well, they immediately expressed their willingness to submit to the state of Chu and followed the state of Chu to open up wasteland in the south.

Xiang Sheng was very satisfied, so he turned the horse's head and called for people to come over. First, give these refugees a full meal, and then it will be much easier to drive them away.

After a full meal, suddenly a soldier came to report that someone wanted to see him.

Xiang Sheng heard this, and his mind brightened: "Could it be that there are still one or two national scholars among this group of refugees?"

With a playful mind, Xiang Sheng asked the guards around him to bring him over.

After a while, a tall young man with a hungry face came to Xiang Sheng's side.

The man cupped his hands and said, "Villain Bishamon, I have seen the General."

Xiang Sheng saw that this man was very tall, and felt that he would be a good fighter in the battlefield, so he asked, "Bishamon, why are you here looking for this general?"

"The villain is willing to do things for the adults, and he also learned martial arts for a few days when he was young, so he can definitely serve the adults." Bishamon smiled, and glanced at Xiang Sheng slightly.

After hearing this, Xiang Sheng took a bow from the soldiers, looked at Bishamon with a half-smile, and said, "Shoot an arrow and show me. If you really have the ability, I can show you in person in front of the king." For your life."

This Bisha took the bow from Xiang Sheng's hand, pulled it casually, and the bow snapped at the sound.

"It's too light, you can change it to a strong bow." Bishamon asked with a smile.

Xiang Sheng was startled, and asked secretly: "Could it be possible to see a piece of treasure in this refugee camp today?"

Thinking in his heart, Xiang Sheng asked someone to fetch an iron tire bow, and Bishamen just shouted, and pulled the bow away casually, like a full moon, and pulled it five or six times, then stopped, panting: " I don't know if I can get the general's eyes?"

"This is really a strong man!" Xiang said in praise: "Your year?"

"Eight out of twenty." Bishamon said.

Xiang Sheng listened, nodded and said: "If that's the case, how about you being a thousand men in our army?"

"To be highly regarded by the general is already a blessing for three lives, how dare you despise the size of the official position?"

Xiang Sheng was even happier, feeling that this person was very talkative, so he asked, "Are you a local?"

"If you go back to the general, the villain is a local. I heard from my ancestors that he was from the ancient mediocrity."

In ancient times, the Yong state overran its power to attack the Chu state, and in the end, the Chu state gathered Qin and Shu to send troops to destroy it.

Xiang Sheng did not doubt that he was there, so he said: "In this case, the refugees here are going to the south of our country. I was worried that there would be no suitable candidates, so you led 1000 people and went to Changsha in the south. This matter If you do well, the position of Sima in the other department of this general will be reserved for you!"

"Planning for the general is the job of the last general, how dare you ask for credit?" Bishamon said seriously.

This made Xiang Sheng feel more at ease, so he called the chief bookkeeper in the army to make a book for Bishamen's enthronement.

The two of them were talking in the military tent at the moment, Bishamon was able to bring out his own unique views on everything in the world, which made Xiang Sheng admire him even more.

"I heard that the king of Shu is called Li Shimin, who is this Li Shimin? He can even be called king in Shu?" Bishamen asked casually.

Xiang Sheng said: "It is said that he was from the Zhao Kingdom in the past, and he was just a traitor. The former Zhao Wang Wuchen asked him and Han Guang to lead the army to conquer Yandi, but he never thought that Li Shimin would support his troops here and come to join our king. Your king is kind. Naturally, I couldn't bear to see other people wandering, so I took Li Shimin in. I didn't know that Li Shimin was ambitious, and finally led an army to the west, so he occupied the land of Shu, and later he became king."

"Oh!" Bishamon nodded casually, but in the depths of his eyes there was a secretive emotion, but he also concealed it very well, and Xiang Sheng didn't pay attention to it, so naturally he couldn't see it.

"I heard that Li Shimin has a younger brother, Li Yuanba, who is extremely brave. When we attack Shu in the future, I want to experience how powerful this Li Yuanba is."

"Haha..." Xiang Sheng laughed loudly after hearing this: "Bishamon, it's not that this general looks down on you. Li Yuanba is born with supernatural powers. He holds a drum-beating gold hammer weighing hundreds of catties in his hand, which is as light as nothing. You are still behind. Let's beat the drums to cheer the king, the one who can kill this person must be the king!"

"Ah? There is such a saying?" Bishamon pretended to be surprised, as if he couldn't hold back his face.

"Hehe... When you're in the army, you see with multiple eyes. What do ordinary people like Xiang Han and Xiang Guan know? They only know how to fight blindly, how can they know how to attack soldiers?"

Both Xiang Han and Xiang Guan are military generals in the Xiang clan, but only Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Sheng and others are famous.

In the following conversation, Bishamon seemed to be very interested in Li Shimin's matter, and asked a lot, and then it was over.

Xiang Sheng only said that this newcomer accepted and was eager to make contributions, and he also knew everything and said everything.

Not long after, Bishamon, wearing iron armor, came among the refugees, found a couple of people, and brought them back to the barracks.

Just as Bishamon entered the barracks, the older man whispered, "It's been built, how's the inquiry going?"

"Father, I have found out clearly. I can be sure that Li Shimin, King of Shu, is really my second brother."

This person turned out to be Li Jiancheng!The old one was naturally Li Yuan.

Because he was mixed among the refugees, he learned Shangyong's accent, so he came up with a way to sneak into the military camp to determine whether the Shu king Li Shimin was his brother who died in childhood.

And this Bishamen is exactly Li Jiancheng's nickname, and no one knows about it except his father and brothers.

As Li Jiancheng said, he took out a portrait from the barracks, spread it out and spread it on the desk.

The young man looked younger than Li Jiancheng, and when he saw it, he immediately shouted, "It's the second brother, it's the second brother!"

"Crack!" Li Yuan greeted him with a slap, ugly to Li Yuanji's face, and angrily scolded in a low voice: "Bastard, do you want to let the people of Chu know that we are the king of Shu lost among the people?" family?"

Li Yuanji immediately looked at Li Jiancheng aggrieved, and Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Father, Yuanji is still young, so naturally he doesn't know the dangers in this world. Father calm down."

"Hey! My ancestor Li Yuan was also a rich and powerful family. If we hadn't met that bullshit First Emperor who was with us in the Six Kingdoms, the city was broken and everyone was running for their lives. Otherwise, how could our family be in trouble? Displaced?"

"Auspicious people have their own destiny." Li Jiancheng comforted: "Father, you see that the second brother is not the king now. We have confirmed the identity of the second brother now. After sending these people to Changsha, I will return to Xiangxiang Under my command, find a chance to take the grain and grass in the city..."

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng showed a smile that everyone understood.

Starting from here to Changsha, it will not take long to go directly to the river valley, which is the Duanjiangkou where Li Jing led the army to the south and wanted to fight Ji Bu.

Li Jiancheng reckoned that if he walked faster, the spring rain here might not have stopped by the time he returned.

Because in Xiang Sheng's conversation, Li Jiancheng also knew that this season's spring rain will last for about a month.

The father and son all changed into military uniforms, and it took only half a month to return.
