Chapter 239: The Enemy Meets

Cui Guangyuan felt that he was cruel enough, but he did not expect that Liu Mingge was even better and so arrogant and domineering in other people's territory.

The person who was killed, Cui Guangyuan, actually wanted to kill him, but he couldn't. Cui Guangyuan was a commoner of the Cui family. If he killed these elders of the Cui family, the Cui family would immediately abandon him.

But now Liu Mingge killed one of them with a swing of his sword. The others also saw it, but they dared not speak out in anger. They all shouted at Cui Guangyuan, "Master Yuan, our Cui family cannot die like this in vain!"

"Yes! This lunatic, the elder of the Cui family, killed him at will in front of you, and didn't take you seriously at all!"

"Master Yuan, if we can't avenge the elders, how can our Cui family gain a foothold in the world!"

"How can I, the Cui family of Qinghe, be allowed to be slaughtered by others! Where are the sons of the Cui family? I haven't taken action yet." Cui Che, another gray-haired elder of the Cui family, raised his cane.

At this time, several Cui family disciples actually drew their swords, and Liu Boxian stabbed Cui Che to death with another sword.

At this time, even Cui Guangyuan could not sit still and drew his sword to attack Liu Boxian: "Prime Minister Liu, you have gone too far! Do you really think that my Cui family has no one left?"

Liu Boxian didn't care. In his opinion, Cui Guangyuan was just a child of a noble family whose martial arts skills were higher than ordinary people.

Liu Baoxian casually swung his sword to resist, but was almost stabbed by Cui Guangyuan. Cui Guangyuan swung his sword faster and faster, and Liu Baoxian had to defend with all his strength.

Fortunately, Liu Boxian was holding a giant sword, which was like a long shield and blocked Cui Guangyuan's sword.

"Huayang Sword Technique? Where did your Cui family learn it? How do you know Huayang Sword Technique?" At this time, Liu Boxian could see that Cui Guangyuan used the Huayang Sword Technique, which is only known by the people in the sword tower.

"You Liu family learned it, but my Cui family can't learn it? Today you killed the elders of the Cui family for no reason. Even if you have a high position and great martial arts skills, I, Cui Guangyuan, will definitely fight to the death with you!"

Cui Guangyuan's sword skills became faster and stronger, and Liu Boxian had to use all his strength to knock Cui Guangyuan away. "That's enough! I'll kill you two members of the Cui family. My life is here. After we have settled the business,

You can come and get it anytime!”

How could Cui Guangyuan really fight Liu Boxian, but he was just doing it for the Cui family to see. Seeing that Cui Guangyuan's superb swordsmanship could not hurt Liu Boxian, the Cui family could only stand by and watch.

"Cui Guangyuan, your three-hundred-year-old foundation of the Qinghe Cui family is now up to you! If you continue to fight against the imperial court, you will definitely be defeated and killed in the future! The whole Cui family will be slaughtered, what else will you have by then?

Do you have the face to meet the ancestors of the Cui family?"

Liu Boxian took advantage of Cui Guangyuan's hesitation and started preaching again.

Cui Guangyuan's face turned red and he restrained his skills. The others quickly tried to persuade him, "A man is capable of bending and stretching. Compared with the Cui family's hundreds of years of foundation, what is this little thing in front of him?"

"Yes, please ask Prime Minister Liu to discuss the conditions of the imperial court. We can't just trust you with our life and property easily with just a few words from you!"

Cui Guangyuan looked pale and took a long breath, "Our Cui family still has nearly 100,000 troops, and most of Jingzhou. If we surrender, we will die and our family will be destroyed in the future. Wouldn't we be ashamed of our ancestors?"

"The Cui family's army will naturally be returned to the imperial court, but the land and official positions can be kept, as can the private soldiers! Everything is just like the old system of Daliang for three hundred years!"

As soon as Liu Boxian said this, everyone looked happy, but Cui Guangyuan was unmoved, "Does the current court have the strength to let us accept this condition? Last month in Jiangling, my Cui family's survival army killed them in one battle.

Three thousand people, how dare they

Want to fight with me? Prime Minister Liu, you need to have strength and bargaining chips to negotiate. Now even the imperial court cannot defeat us, so I should raise this condition!"

Liu Boxian smiled, "How much food and grass do you still have for your 100,000-strong army? Everything west of Chenzhou has been lost. Half of Jingzhou cannot feed your 100,000-strong army. As I said before, the imperial court has formed an alliance with the Wei State and is attacking from the north and the south."

The situation has been formed. Although you have an elite survival army, it cannot help the general trend, and you cannot cross the river south to regain the city that has been lost in the past few months!"

Cui Guangyuan coughed for a while, and the others were trying to persuade him, "Mr. Yuan, instead of spending all your capital with the court, it's better to sell it at a good price!"

"We, the Cui family of Qinghe, are originally loyal to the imperial court, but unfortunately there is a traitor in the imperial court, so we have to lead the army to protect ourselves!"

"The imperial court should give preferential treatment to aristocratic families. Only when the aristocratic families are prosperous can the country prosper!"

Liu Boxian also coughed, "Ahem! After you have figured out the terms of peace and surrender, come to the brothel in the city to find me! I am going to live in the brothel for a few days!"

After speaking, Liu Baoxian walked away, leaving only the stunned people.

"The prime minister of a country who is dignified and comes from an aristocratic family, yet he behaves so erratically. It is really unpredictable!"

"Weird! Madman! I can't believe what he says!"

"No, Liu Mingge acted crazy, but he did everything he said!"

Cui Guangyuan looked at everyone, but he couldn't get excited. In their eyes, the two elders who were killed earlier were no different from the death of an outsider. Many people were already planning to get some suitable official positions.

However, for Cui Guangyuan, the death of two direct elders of the Cui family was a good thing. These people always opposed him everywhere as Cui Guangyuan's concubine.

However, today he used the Huayang Sword Technique, which surprised everyone. Cui Guangyuan actually knew the unique secrets of the sword tower.

Liu Boxian was also thinking about where Cui Guangyuan learned the Huayang Sword Technique in Li Chun Tower. The unique secrets of the Sword Tower would not be easily passed on to others. Besides, Cui Guangyuan was not a Taoist at all.

As for Li Xiaofei, after discussing with everyone for a while, he finally decided to farm the land and open up trade routes to provide financial resources.

Before Li Xiaofei's newly built caravan set off, a caravan arrived outside Yuzhang City.

This caravan came from the north, carrying mostly medicinal materials, pearls, furs and other goods to buy food in Yuzhang City.

Food in the city has been restricted from being taken out for a long time. The leader of the northern caravan sent someone to see Li Xiaofei and expressed his willingness to pay a high price to purchase food, silk and other materials.

Li Xiaofei naturally refused. The man sent by the caravan laughed, "Sir Li, if you don't want to sell, of course someone will sell it. We have to buy what we want to buy with the money. If you don't make money, you will lose it."

More people come and earn!”

Li Xiaofei felt that the caravan was too arrogant, so he sent Cai Guishan with dead soldiers to monitor them. Anyone who dared to sell food to the caravan would be arrested immediately.

Cai Guishan monitored for three days and found no one in the city who dared to come to sell grain. It was just that the people in the caravan went directly to the countryside to collect grain.

Cai Guishan was determined to capture the people in the caravan, but he stopped as soon as he saw their equipment.

When Li Xiaofei learned that this caravan actually had thirty tanks, fifty heavy armored cavalry and two hundred armored infantry, he couldn't believe it at all.

"How is this possible? A caravan has such a strong military force? Isn't a caravan just some carriages and hundreds of servants? Where is he?

Or a caravan? Such a caravan can capture a county at any time! Cai Guishan, have you been bribed by them? "

Cai Guishan shook his head, "Master Li, I will not make up lies to deceive you, but the military strength of this caravan is indeed so strong. Master Li might as well go and see for himself."

Li Xiaofei knew that Cai Guishan would not lie to him, but he was full of curiosity about such a caravan, so he took Cai Guishan with him to the caravan's camp.

When Li Xiaofei saw the deputy leader of the caravan, he took a few more glances, as if Li Xiaofei had seen this broken-arm swordsman somewhere.

The swordsman with a broken arm ignored Li Xiaofei and the others with a frosty expression, but Li Xiaofei had already remembered who this person was.

Li Xiaofei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and called Cai Guishan aside, "Guishan, are you sure you can help me kill that swordsman with a broken arm?"

"Did Mr. Li want to sneak attack on their camp? He openly robbed the caravan. Once word spreads, Mr. Li's reputation will be completely wiped out. You have to think carefully."

"In order to take revenge, I'm not afraid of notoriety behind my back! Just tell me whether you want to help or not?" Li Xiaofei stared at Cai Guishan with red eyes.

Cai Guishan immediately understood that Li Xiaofei must have a deep hatred for this swordsman, otherwise he would not be so decisive.

"Just do it! Cai Guishan must help Mr. Li!"

Cai Guishan swung two flying knives from his sleeves and went straight towards the swordsman. The swordsman dodged and then drew his sword to fight back.

Cai Guishan and the people in the Dead Soldiers Camp were all familiar with killing people. Immediately, another fishing net was thrown towards the swordsman with broken arms, along with several packets of quicklime.

The swordsman with the broken arm cut through the fishing net with a few swings of his long sword, and also cut through the paper package, causing lime powder to fall down covering his head and face.

The swordsman with a broken arm was confused, and Cai Guishan stepped forward and cut off his other arm with a sword.

The swordsman with the broken arm fell to the ground and screamed. The people who stayed behind in the caravan came over after hearing the news, and most of them were killed by the dead soldiers with bows and crossbows. The dozens of armored infantrymen who were guarding the gate wanted to come to support, but were tripped up by the dead soldiers with ropes.

Falling down, they were all smashed to death with a hammer.

However, a few smart guys from the caravan still ran away on horseback. There were no good horses in the Death Soldiers' camp, so they chased for a while but failed to catch up.

Li Xiaofei put a foot on the head of the broken-arm swordsman: "Beast! Evil thief! Do you still recognize me? Lijia Village fifteen years ago! You bunch of beasts killed all the people in my village! You didn't expect that there would be

Today!"

The swordsman with the broken arm was still shouting and struggling, ignoring Li Xiaofei at all. Li Xiaofei let go of him and said, "Take this beast back, we can't let him be so easy! Order all battalions to leave the city immediately to destroy this caravan! They are bandits!"

The caravan's chariots and cavalry were all out buying grain and grass, working in groups of twos and threes. Someone from the camp reported that the people who stayed behind had been massacred and the goods had been robbed.

The captain of the caravan cavalry immediately ordered people to light red Kongming lanterns and raise them into the sky during the day.

Soon the caravans, chariots, cavalry, and armored infantry all gathered and headed towards the camp.

The chariot convoy cleared the way, and the army led by Li Xiaofei had little success in shooting arrows, so they had to retreat to the city.

The wheels of the leading chariots turned faster and faster, and directly hit the city gate, knocking out several large holes in the city gate.

The rest of the chariots formed a half-moon formation under the city gate. The chariots immediately deployed large shields made of cowhide and bamboo to block arrows and rolling logs and stones from the city.
