Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 17 Departure to Liu Yao
After two days and two nights of civil war in Shu County, Sun Ce took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the border with soldiers, and Li Shu and Wen Ji stopped fighting to make peace.

Sun Ce did not attack by force, but adopted the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, encircling without attacking.

Three months later, Shu County ran out of food, Lu Jun was forced to surrender in Kaesong, and the remaining cities of Lujiang County surrendered one after another.

Sun Ce easily won Lujiang County, but Yuan Shu turned his back on his word and appointed Sun Ce as the prefect of Lujiang instead of appointing Sun Ce as the prefect of Lujiang as promised. Instead, he appointed his old subordinate Liu Xun as the prefect of Lujiang.

Sun Ce was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, but there was nothing he could do.

At the same time, Liu Gan had led the remaining [-] people from the Shenji Camp to vote eastward against Liu Yao.

Prior to this, Qiao Yuan had already edited a book and sent it to Xu Shao, an important minister under Liu Yao.

Liu Gan's arrival made Liu Yao feel uneasy, he hesitated whether to accept Liu Gan or not.

Xu Shao immediately said: "Liu Wushuang belongs to the clan of the Han Dynasty, but this man is more than brave, and his intelligence is mediocre. Today, Sun Ce broke through the Lujiang River, and my lord drove Wu Jing and Sun Ben to Liyang. The two will definitely hold grudges against the lord. These two are Yuan Shu. Appointing an official, and being old with Sun Ce, if Sun Ce comes to attack, although there are two generals Fan and Yu stationed in Hengjiang, they will not be enough to resist a strong enemy. If you have Liu Wushuang's bravery, you can fight Sun Ce."

Liu Yao heard the words of great kindness, so he sent Liu Gan to Danyang Town in the south of Moling, and put him under the control of General Xue Li.

When Liu Gan heard for the first time that his immediate boss was called Xue Li, he actually refused in his heart.

Because Xue Li's name is too famous, such as "Three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain", "Take off your hat and retreat ten thousand enemies", "A good strategy stops fighting"...

This Xue Li has the same name as Xue Rengui, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. Although they have the same name, their abilities are very different.

Xue Li was originally Prime Minister of Pengcheng, but he belonged to Xuzhou County. Because of his discord with Tao Qian, he switched to Liu Yao.

When Liu Yao came to Yangzhou alone, he was able to control military power and gather tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time. There are two reasons for this.

First, Liu Yao took advantage of the influence of his Han family clan and relied heavily on local powerful political powers to marry generals such as Zhang Ying and Fan Neng.

Second, boldly appoint foreign generals Xue Li, Ruo Rong and others to win people's hearts with courtesy and corporals.

The two generals Wu Jing and Sun Ben were driven away by Liu Yao and the soldiers of Xue Li and Ruo Rong. They turned their hands into clouds, and turned their hands into rain.

Inside Moling City.

When Liu Gan first arrived in Moling, Xue Li threw a big banquet and warmly entertained him.

"Wu Shuang came from Lujiang, can he fight that Sun Ce?"

After drinking for three rounds, Xue Li was already drunk, and the daughter Hong brought by Liu Gan really suited his appetite.

"As soon as Sun Ce's army arrived, I left Shu County and never confronted them. What's more, if I don't have enough troops to fight against Sun Ce, the whole army will be wiped out." Liu Gan shook his head and smiled wryly.

"There are few major soldiers in Lujiang, so it's really not easy to resist the front of the army." Xue Li thought for a while, and pondered: "My Danyang County is different. Since ancient times, Danyang's elite soldiers have been famous all over the world. If Sun Ce dares to come, he will definitely let him taste the power of my Xue Dahammer!"

Xue Li is an expert at wielding giant hammers. He was given the nickname Xue Dahammer, and he often called himself happy by it.

"Sun Ce is definitely not someone who is easy to deal with. The general must not underestimate the enemy." Liu Gan reminded him kindly.

"Hehe... this man just has a good father. Thinking about Sun Wentai, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, he thought he was invincible in the world, and was shot and killed by Huang Zu in the end. Sun Ce and his dead old man Daddy is the same, brave is brave, and not enough!" Xue Li talked eloquently, and after drinking another glass of fine wine, he became confused.

Seeing this, Liu Gan couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.

At this moment, Liu Gan finally understood why Yuan Shu ordered Hui Qu, Wu Jing, and Sun Ben to attack Liu Yao for many years, but Sun Ce fell in one battle as soon as he came.

Of course there are reasons why Sun Ce is good at fighting, but the root cause is that Liu Yao's generals are too careless to underestimate the enemy.

Otherwise, take the Yangtze River as a danger, draw the river and defend it, and the enemy will attack it halfway. As long as the defender is not mentally retarded, and the enemy's army is not several times that of his own, anyone can lead the army to defend for a year or a half.

Liu Yao's defeat was due to underestimating the enemy!

Now that Liu Gan is here, everything in Jiangdong will end differently.

Liu Gan raised the banner of the clan of the Han Dynasty and recruited Danyang soldiers in Moling area. In terms of money and food, Liu Gan had Qiaoyuan's full support, but when the number of people increased, Liu Gan began to feel that the supply was difficult.

The backing mountain will fall, and the backing will run away.

Liu Gan gradually began to understand that Qiaoyuan cannot rely solely on money and food, so Liu Gan opened his first wine shop in Moling, selling only self-brewed Nurhong and Lugui wine.

This wine has been released for more than a month, and it has been sold well in the whole Danyang County, and even Jiujiang County and Wu County have heard the news, and many merchants have come here.

Liu Gan had to train the army and manage business at the same time. After a long time, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"If only she were here."

Liu Gan suddenly fell in lovesickness, and Da Qiao's pretty face could not help but haunt his mind. Although they were far apart, the two had always communicated with each other through letters. Liu Gan also thought about whether to bring Da Qiao to Moling, but he held back. up.

Because Liu Gan knows that there will be a battle here in the future!
He can't put Da Qiao in danger because he doesn't have enough strength to protect her.

"Wait a little longer, wait for me for two years, maybe only one year, and I will raise my troops and fight back to Lujiang!" Liu Gan couldn't help clenching his fists when he thought of this.

From time to time, Ruo Rong, a native of Danyang, returned to Taoqian, and gathered people from three prefectures to inscribe Futu Temple, Chonglou Pavilion, accept believers, and promote Buddhism. There were as many as ten thousand people who went to eat and watch the ceremony.After Tao Qian died of illness, Liu Bei took over as Xuzhou Mu. Ruo Rong refused to hand over the food and tributes from the three counties, and filled his pockets for his own use. With the courtesy of guests, they benefited the people of Guangling, and killed Zhao Yu because of the drunkenness.

Soon, Ruo Rong raised his troops, claiming to be [-], and defected to Liu Yao.

Ze Rong led the army to pass by Moling, Xue Li treated each other with courtesy and held a grand banquet.

"General, Ruo Rong is moody and never cares what other people say about him. It is said that he is cruel by nature and definitely not a kind person!"

When Liu Gan heard the news, he left his army training and came galloping to remind Xue Li kindly.

However, Xue Li disagreed: "Zo Rong is a Buddhist believer. I heard that the patriarch of the Buddhist school cut meat and fed it to eagles. He emphasized a fearless spirit of sacrificing his life for righteousness. How can such a righteous religion be a cruel person?"

Liu Gan said, "Have you not seen Taiping teach Zhang Jiao?"

Xue Li laughed and said, "Wu Shuang is too worried. Ruo Rong is a majestic Prime Minister, how can he be compared with the rebel Zhang Jiao? Now that the banquet is over, why don't Wu Shuang raise a glass with us?"

Liu Gan sighed helplessly, and declined, saying: "If you don't listen to me, you will regret it too late!" After speaking, he swaggered away.

Seeing Liu Gan being so decisive, Xue Li couldn't help being slightly startled, but he secretly kept an eye on Ruo Rong.

That night, Xue Li had a great banquet, singing and dancing to promote peace, and he did not forget to call his own soldiers to guard outside the door.

After one night, Ruo Rong was drinking and having fun, confiding his heart and heart, without any malice.

Xue Li secretly regretted that he treated a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, and immediately dismissed the guards outside the door, leaving only his foster son Xue Tong to accompany him.

With fine wine in his stomach and melodious drum music, Xue Li gradually showed his drunkenness, and he began to speak carelessly: "Then Liu Wushuang once told me that Ze Rong is moody, has a cruel personality, and is definitely not a kind person."

Ze Rong's eyelids twitched, and he said calmly, "Brother Xue, do you think so?"

Xue Li drank another cup, and said with a smile: "I think you are upright and straightforward, promote Buddhism, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and you deserve the title of 'great virtuous person'."

Ruo Rong couldn't help laughing, raised his glass and drank, "I don't think Brother Xue is Ruo's bosom friend!"

Seeing that Xue Li was in a daze, Ze Rong asked with a smile, "Brother Xue, do you know Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling?"

Xue Li squinted his drunken eyes and said, "Of course I know it. I heard that this person is pure and evil, knowledgeable and righteous. He is a rare good official."

Ze Rong said with a half smile but not a smile: "Brother Xue, do you know that this person died not long ago?"

"There is such a thing, do you know who did it?" Xue Li suddenly sobered up a lot.

"I am the one who killed Zhao Yu!" Ruo Rong suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Xue Li's heart fiercely.

"Ze Rong!" Xue Li turned pale with fright, turned his body slightly in panic, dodged a fatal blow, but was also stabbed in the chest with a knife, and the blood immediately stained his robes, and Xue Li burst into a loud voice due to the severe pain call.

In the next second, Xue Tong threw his cup and stood up, struggling forward.

"My son, save me!" Xue Li yelled, but Ruo Rong made a quick and ruthless attack, and swung his knife again, stabbing Xue Li hard on the forehead.

When he was dying, Xue Li suddenly thought of Liu Ganzhi's words.

"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it too late!"

The loud voice was like a nightmare, echoing in Xue Li's ears for a long time, until he lost consciousness forever.

When Xue Li died, Moling was in chaos.
