Chapter 530

It took less than half a month for Liu Xiu's army to reach Quren county.

The army was arrayed outside the city, and the drums were beating, which made the atmosphere in the city tense.

Liu Xiu rode to the lower part of the city, looked up at the upper part of the city and said in a loud voice, "where is Quren county magistrate?"

"I am the official!"

Huang Quan step out, his hands on the tower, eyes staring at Liu Xiu. But in his heart, there is a trace of uneasiness. In the face of Liu Donghe's great pressure to fight against him, Liu Dongxiu is under great pressure.

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Quan and said, "I've come to fight against you. Today, you open the gate of the city and follow the tide. I'll let you continue to be the magistrate of Quren county. If you resist stubbornly, don't blame me for being impolite. "

Huang Quan raised his chin and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu, don't be rampant. The city is here. If you have the ability, you can attack it. "

Liu Xiu said: "rotten wood can't be carved!"

"Huang Quan said:" less nonsense, you have the ability to attack the city is

Liu Xiu see the other party is not willing to surrender, sneer twice, on the policy back to the army. Instead of fighting, Liu Xiu ordered his troops to retreat and stay six li away.

Liu Xiu's army retreated, but Huang Quan was stunned.

What's going on?

On the city tower, the people of the major families were also silly.

Liu xiusu is a strong and unrivalled man. How can he withdraw when he orders Huang Quan to surrender?

It's weird!

In Huang Quan's heart, there is such an idea.

Looking at the men under his command and the soldiers of other great families, Huang Quan ordered: "Liu Xiu will withdraw, but be careful that they will kill him. Be careful not to let up. "

"No!"

People are afraid to relax when they are ordered.

After all, it was Liu Xiu who came.

On the other hand, Liu Xiu came back to the camp, sat down in the tent, and sent for Pang Tong and Jia Xu. Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "the army has arrived in Quren county. Now we are waiting for the news from Huo Jun and Chen Dao. But apart from that, I'm not going to wait. I'm going to send a team of soldiers to harass me in the evening. What do you think? "

Pang Tong said: "harassing strategy is also good, so that the other party can not rest well, in this way, can also consume the other party's morale."

Jia Xu said: "true and false, false and real. Since it is to harass, we can actually send a team of soldiers out to let them attack the city occasionally. In this case, the soldiers in the city can not live in peace. "

Liu Xiu also nodded when he heard the speech.

The three did not discuss other strategies, because the plan to conquer Quren county is in progress.

At night, the soldiers in the army had settled down.

Liu Xiu sent a team of soldiers, quietly approaching the city tower of Quren county.

There are only a thousand soldiers in this group.

The soldiers arrived outside the city, looked at the bright lights on the top of the city, and beat the drums.

"Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the drums of war resounded in the night sky.

The sound reverberated into the city.

When the patrolling soldiers heard this, they immediately stood on guard, and then they all grasped the weapons in their hands. In addition, the soldiers stationed on the tower, even the soldiers stationed in the tower, all took action.

Huang Quan is always on the tower. During the day, he saw that Liu Xiu didn't attack the city. He thought that there might be a sneak attack at night, so he prepared early. Now when he heard the drum, he turned over and killed him with his sword.

When he came to the tower, Huang Quan roared: "prepare for war! Prepare to fight. "

The soldiers under his command were more active.

A steady stream of soldiers rushed up to the tower and assembled on it. They were on guard.

"Dong! Dong

The drums, they're still going on.

In the dark, no soldier rushed out.

The name of the leader of the Qu family was Qu Zheng, the son of Qu Lin. He is nearly forty years old, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is strong and strong. Qu Zheng glanced out of the city and listened. His face wrinkled and he said, "magistrate Huang, there is no footstep outside the city, not even a cry to kill. In my opinion, this is Liu Xiu's strategy of harassing. "

Huang Quan stares at the outside of the city, his expression is solemn, his eyes are tense, and he doesn't feel relaxed.

Thinking for a moment, the drum has stopped.

All around, everything is quiet.

Huang Quan looked for a moment, nodded and said: "this situation should be harassment. Hum, Liu Xiu is really cunning. It's hateful to send soldiers to harass me at night. "

Qu Zheng said: "it's not surprising that attacking and harassing the two armies is the most normal strategy. County Magistrate Huang, I went to sleep. "

Then Qu Zheng yawned.

Then, Qu Zheng with the soldiers of the major families retreated and went to sleep again.

Huang Quan watched the soldiers of his family retreat, but did not order the soldiers stationed in the garrison building to retreat. Instead, he stayed for another quarter of an hour. Seeing that there was really no response outside the city, he ordered: "all the soldiers except the garrison will go down to have a rest."The soldiers disbanded, and huangquan was ready to go back to rest.

"Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the war drums outside the city began to ring.

The voice was very rapid. Among the drums, there seemed to be thousands of troops galloping forward.

As soon as Huang Quan was ready to go down for a rest, he turned around and stared at the outside of the city. With the continuous sound of war drums, all the soldiers who just left came back, including Qu Zheng who just went down.

Qu Zheng's face was full of fatigue, and he said in a loud voice: "magistrate Huang, is Jingzhou army coming?"

Huang Quan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone yet."

"Damn it

Qu Zheng's face is quite tired. No matter who is tossed about like this, the mood in his heart is not much better.

Countless soldiers, once again, gathered on the city floor.

However, the battle drums continued, but no soldiers emerged outside the city.

Cheated!

Huang Quan saw this scene and knew that he had been cheated again.

These damn Jingzhou soldiers!

In Huang Quan's heart, he cursed, and even felt that Jingzhou soldiers were too hateful. If they wanted to start a war, they would kill them openly. They were full of such small tricks. It was really hard to be elegant.

Qu Zheng put his hands on the wall and said, "magistrate Huang, it's not good to go on like this. If there is a battle drum outside the city, we will have to come up to fight, then we won't have to sleep tonight. If so, it's in Liu Xiu's heart. "

"Indeed, we have to change our strategy," Huang said

"What shall we do?"

Qu Zheng's eyes fell on Huang Quan. Although he was the commander of the private soldiers of various aristocratic families, the county magistrate of Huang Quan was still in charge of the general direction.

Huang Quan thought for a moment and said, "well, the defense on the tower is temporarily garrisoned by the soldiers under my command. No matter whether there are drums outside the city or not, we are responsible for the inspection. Once Liu Xiu's soldiers really attack the city, at that time, I will let the soldiers under my command blow the horn. When the horn rings, you come up again to meet the enemy. In this way, we can avoid the influence of war drums outside the city. "

Qu Zheng is also a bright eye, said: "this is a good way."

With a smug look on his face, Huang Quan said, "well, go down and have a rest."

"Goodbye!"

Qu Zheng nodded heavily and retreated with the soldiers.

Huang Quan stayed on the top of the tower. He looked at the soldiers under his command and said, "the Jingzhou soldiers outside the city are here to harass. No matter how the war drums sound outside, there is no need to mobilize troops. Only with the sound of the equal sign horn can the army gather on the upper floor of the city. "

After giving the order, huangquan disbanded the army on the top of the city, leaving only a part of the soldiers on patrol.

After everything is arranged, huangquan is going to have a rest.

When he lies down to rest, he sleeps peacefully to avoid wasting time when he suddenly gets up. When he was sleepy, there was a drum beating in his ear.

All of a sudden, the yellow spring has awakened.

It's just that the sound of the battle drums outside the city is harassing, and people close their eyes to sleep.

After the third drumbeat, about a quarter of an hour later, there was another drumbeat. This time, the sound of war drums awakened him, but the sound of war drums for four times in a row made him numb.

I don't care about the sound of drums.

The soldiers stationed on the upper floors of the city relaxed their vigilance when they encountered the sound of battle drums. They were very relaxed and didn't worry about being attacked at night.
