Chapter 362

Underwater ferry!

South bank, Liu Xiu barracks.

The news that Deng Xian led the army to fight spread to Liu Xiu.

After gathering all the people under his command, Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said with a smile, "General Zhang, Deng Xian led ten thousand soldiers to kill him. These ten thousand troops were either recruited or dispatched from various counties. Among them, there is your hard work. "

Zhang Ren clenched his fist and said angrily, "Deng xianpifu is shameless and soft."

Liu xiudao: "Deng Xian is a pioneer. It seems that Cao Cao doesn't trust Deng Xian very much. Let Deng Xian take the lead this time, it means to test Deng Xian, but I'm afraid there are more ideas about consuming Deng Xian's troops. "

Liu Xiu asked again, "General Zhang, the soldiers under Deng Xian, can they instigate rebellion?"

Zhang Ren's sword eyebrows picked up and said: "the Lord's meaning is to let them kill Deng Xian and then surrender? However, it is very difficult for us to persuade these 10000 troops to surrender across the river. "

After a pause, Zhang Ren said: "the soldiers gathered in all counties are definitely willing to follow the last general. Deng Xian's use of troops was ok, but he was very strict with soldiers and exploited military expenditure. His impression on the soldiers is not very good. "

Liu Xiu said: "since Deng Xian has a bad impression on the soldiers, it is not impossible to persuade them to surrender the 10000 troops. As long as we grasp the weakness, it will work. "

Zhang Ren said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid it's difficult to finish the speech of the last general."

Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "no matter, you listen to my arrangement is. Later, we will prepare a small boat. We will stop at the center of the river and persuade the soldiers to rebel. "

When Zhang Ren heard of the speech, he would not refuse and let Liu Xiu arrange it.

Pang Tong laughed and said, "my Lord, are you going to persuade Wanjun to surrender with a sharp tongue?"

Liu xiudao: "always have a try."

Wei Yan's eyes showed a trace of shock. He thought Liu Xiu's action was too bold and risky. I'm afraid it's not easy to succeed. However, Wei Yan did not follow Liu Xiu for a long time. He saw that Liu Xiu's stratagem was always one link after another. He never failed, so he raised a glimmer of hope. If he succeeded, there would be another hard battle.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a soldier entered the camp and reported: "my Lord, the soldiers led by Deng Xian are less than three miles away from the ferry."

"I see!"

Liu Xiu big sleeve a brush, get up a way: "Zhang general, go."

With these words, Liu Xiu looked at Pang Tong and Wei Yan again and said, "you two are in the army, leading the army to line up by the river and hold the line for me."

"No!"

Pang Tong and Wei Yan nodded and clasped their fists.

After leaving the camp, Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren boarded a small boat at the ferry, and then under the control of the boatman, they went slowly to the middle of the river.

Now the water is rising, and the current is more turbulent. However, the location of the lower ferry is good. The boatman stops the boat in the middle of the river to prevent it from being washed away by the current.

Liu Xiu was dressed in white, with a sword hanging on his waist and a silk scarf on his head. Zhang Yiyi, dressed in military uniform and wearing armor, stood beside Liu Xiu.

Both of them stood in the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the ferry pier on the other side.

On the North Bank of the river, there are large areas of reeds.

At this time, the reeds are in pieces, and the river wind is blowing, constantly swaying.

Liu Xiu's eyes swept the official way on the north bank, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.

Zhang Ren stood aside and said, "Lord, Deng Xian is here. What should I do?"

Liu xiudao: "you don't have to do anything. Just stand beside me."

"No!"

Zhang Ren's eyes showed a trace of smile.

In the army, Zhang Ren belongs to the type of saying more is better than doing more. Most of the time, they don't even laugh. Let him face Deng Xian's 10000 troops, crackling a lot of words, Zhang Ren feel very embarrassed.

"Step on it! Step on it

The sound of footsteps came from the North Bank of the river.

After a short time, a dense army emerged from the official road on the north bank.

Now the river is rising, and the horizon of the official road on the north bank is almost the same as that of the Gushui river. Liu Xiu looked around and saw this army clearly. The soldiers charged quickly, and Deng Xian was the man in the front.

Deng Xian rode on a high horse with dark body, high spirited and fast forward.

It wasn't long before Deng Xian arrived at the North ferry.

The army formation is quite spectacular.

Deng Xian's eyes, a fall in the center of the river, saw the bow of Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren.

Deng Xian's mouth was full of pride, and his whip pointed to the front. He said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiu, I was ordered by the prime minister to take 10000 troops as the vanguard to attack you. If you surrender to the prime minister as soon as you are a child, you will not die. If you resist stubbornly, there will be no bones left. "

"Ha ha ha..."

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard the speech.

The laughter came to Deng Xian's ears, but it was very harsh.Deng Xian roared: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister's 800000 troops have come to kill us. If you are tenacious, Jingzhou will be ruined. You Jingzhou is only tens of thousands of troops, can you resist the prime minister's 800000 troops? "

Liu xiudao: "800000 troops, ha ha, Cao Cao is really shameless. If Cao Cao really had 800 thousand troops, he would have 400 thousand troops. Cao Cao's little trick can't deceive me. "

After a pause, Liu xiudao said: "Deng Xian, how can you still sit on the horse when you help the tyrant and the tiger? Don't you feel scared? "

Deng Xiandao said: "good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials decide what to do. The prime minister is wise and powerful. Deng Xian follows the prime minister before and after the horse. That's obedient to nature and people's understanding. Not like you, stubborn resistance, do not know the number of days. At the end of the day, we have to die. All the soldiers who follow you will be killed. "

Liu xiudao said: "it's shameless. It's shameless to be a traitor of the Lord, to sell the Lord for glory, and to put gold on your own face. If I were you, I would have jumped into the Gushui River and killed myself. How could I have the courage to speak? "

Liu Xiu and Deng Xian came and went, constantly attacking each other.

Zhang Ren stood aside and said nothing.

He can't do such things, and he's not good at them. He can only watch Liu Xiu fight Deng Xian.

However, Liu Xiu and Deng Xian argued for such a long time, Liu Xiu did not get to the point, Zhang Ren was a little anxious. Zhang Ren couldn't understand how Liu Xiu wanted to suppress Deng Xian and incite the soldiers to mutiny.

Liu Xiu changed his words and said abruptly, "Deng Xiangou thief, even if you don't want to be shameful, don't be willing to degenerate and eat with animals."

A beast, not only scolded Cao Cao, but also scolded Deng Xian.

Deng Xian scolded: "Liu Xiu, you have a strong mouth, but unfortunately you are short of troops, so you can only use your mouth. I will tell the prime minister exactly what you say. Now you are arrogant and arrogant. When the prime minister's army goes south and breaks Jingzhou, you will cry. "

Liu Xiu sighed and continued: "in the past, when Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were in power, the Han Dynasty was in decline, so that the eunuchs were in chaos and the imperial platforms were in chaos. After the Yellow turban rebellion, Dong Zhuo, Li Xi, Guo Si and others rose one after another, harming the common people, the imperial court and Zang people. "

"When the thief Cao took the emperor, it made the imperial court even worse."

"Now, rotten wood is an official in the temple, and animals eat bread in the temple."

"The rats barking with wolf hearts roar at the imperial court, and the slaves control the government. As a result, the country turned into a Qiu ruins, and the common people suffered a lot. "

Liu Xiu's words were impassioned and continued: "the emperor was humiliated when the court was in trouble. If you have a little conscience, you know how to serve the emperor. But you, Deng Xian, not only don't attack the thief Cao, but also add insult to injury. It's worse than animals. "

"Before you arrived in Xinye, Zhang Ren was stationed in Nanyang County."

"Cao Ren's army attacked Xinye for seven days in a row, with blood flowing and corpses everywhere. However, Zhang Ren did not surrender and did not allow Cao's army to advance half a step, which made Cao's army lose his general at the expense of his troops. "

"I admire and admire General Zhang very much for his conduct."

Liu Xiu said: "so Nanyang County was attacked by Cao bandits. My officer was the first to lead the army to support and prevent Nanyang County from falling. I don't know. You, the traitor of the Lord, directly dedicated the city to Cao Cao. You are so servile that I have to admire you. "

With these words, the language became more and more sharp.

Zhang Ren stood aside, listening to Liu Xiu's words, his face gradually had a smile.
