Chapter 13 Marching into Shouyang Mountain
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
"Pudong!"
With a loud bang, Liu Fan threw the cauldron sideways to the ground, and a small hole was smashed into the ground.
Even Guan Yu's expression changed, and the lord's strength was indeed a little higher than himself. He had considered this big cauldron, and Guan Yu thought he could not lift it up.
"Is it because of the rebirth of the overlord?" Wang Yi said nervously. His face turned red and his palms were sweating.
When the ground was filled with dust from the big tripod, everyone retreated until they had no way to retreat. It was fear, and it was even more shocked from the soul.
At this time, Liu Fan felt his back and back pain, especially his muscles, as if they were numb and could not lift up any strength. Although he didn't know how heavy the tripod Xiang Yu raised was, Xiang Yu pushed it three times and lifted it up and walked around the hall for three times, but he could only hold on for a few seconds.
Liu Fan was very unwilling to give up. He felt that if his body could carry his own strength, he would definitely be like Xiang Yu, lifting the cauldron and walking around the gate for a few times.
The tripod raised by King Wu of Qin in history was called the Dragon-patterned Red Tripod, which was one of the Nine Chinese Cauldrons. The Simuwu tripod unearthed in later generations was 832 kilograms. It is equivalent to the 3,328 kilograms of the Han Dynasty. The Dragon-patterned Red Tripod, one of the Nine Chinese Cauldrons, is definitely not lighter than the Simuwu square tripod. Although King Wu of Qin was killed by the Longwen Red Tripod, it also indirectly shows that even if King Wu of Qin did not lift the tripod at that time, he would have lifted at least half of it, otherwise it would be impossible for him to kill himself.
The overlord raised the tripod and was famous all over the world. The King Wu of Qin raised the tripod and was criticized by the world. Even if the latter is more challenging than the former, people will only praise the successful ones and satirize the failure.
"Is it difficult to raise this cauldron when killing a few bandit leaders?" Liu Fan calmed down for a moment, dragged his heavy steps towards Wang Yi and asked.
"It's far from it. The Queen of Qinting in Xi was like taking a bag." Wang Yi shook his head and said seriously: "I will transfer a thousand soldiers and horses tomorrow to the Qinhou Mansion in Xi, and hope that the Queen of Qinting in Xi will eliminate the robbers in Shouyang Mountain as soon as possible and return the bright world of Puzhou County."
"Fan Ding will never let down the entrustedness of the prefect." After hearing Wang Yi's words, Liu Fan came up with strength and replied loudly.
"When you come back, I will make you the Sima of the Army. However, there are no soldiers in Hedong that you need to take charge of, and you need to recruit five thousand of them yourself. I want to see if your ability to train troops is the same as your strength, and it makes a big splash." Now Wang Yi no longer thinks about Liu Fan's failure. Wang Yi has a feeling that Liu Fan will definitely be able to wipe out the robbers in Shouyang Mountain.
Wang Yi even felt that using Liu Fan's ability to suppress bandits was really useless. He should have defeated Zhang Han and Wang Li's 400,000 troops with tens of thousands of soldiers, and was completely famous all over the world with such a record.
"Thank you, the prefect." Liu Fan thanked him. From now on, he and Wang Yi have a superior and subordinate relationship. Liu Fan can no longer rely on his title to be on par with Wang Yiping.
"The shogunate is busy, so I will say goodbye today." After Wang Yi said that, he walked towards the carriage.
After seeing Liu Fan lifting the tripod, Wang Yi was still a little uncomfortable. Although Liu Fan was considered his subordinate, it is important for people to know themselves. Wang Yi knew that people like Liu Fan who had reached the peak of their literary and military strategies could not control them with his abilities. It would be better to let go of power and make a good relationship for the future.
Seeing his own lord leave, the guard quickly set up a formation to follow. Some admired and some feared it. In their eyes, Liu Fan could not compete with him.
After the prefect's mansion and his group left, a piece of news spread. Liu Fan, a famous scholar from Hedong, raised a two thousand kilogram cauldron in front of his home, which caused an uproar, and also made Liu Fan quickly famous!
After the prefect's group gradually walked away, Liu Fan said to Guan Yu who was going up the mountain: "Tomorrow I will lead my troops to Puzhou County to wipe out the robbers. Today, you can choose a few smart guards to ride a horse to Puzhou County to find out the situation, especially the robbers in Shouyang Mountain and various routes to the robbers. I will set off with the army tomorrow morning, and I guess I will reach the Puzhou County border in one day. Then we will meet on the border official road."
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Although Liu Fan just said it easy and confidently to Wang Yi, he would not do something in a daze. This is his first battle and he must ensure that everything is foolproof. When necessary, Liu Fan will even change the original plan. After all, the original plan was temporarily formulated according to Wang Yi's statement. If there is a more perfect fighter, he will seize the fighter without hesitation.
"Guan Yu received the order." Guan Yu said excitedly. He knew that he was about to start when he made achievements. He did not expect that this day would come so quickly. This was the first day when Guan Yu really bid farewell to Liu Fan.
Liu Fan, who was sore all over his body because he used excessive force to lift the cauldron, did not choose to rest. Instead, he went back to rectify his image and rode his horse to the place where the farmland and the people were settled. These days he would go to comfort him every day and lead by example, so that his prestige quickly spread to Anyi and Hedong.
Those who lose the hearts of the people may only be the hegemon of the country for a while, and those who win the hearts of the people can get the real world.
The next morning.
After Liu Fan finished practicing martial arts and washed up, a thousand soldiers transferred by Wang Yi had already come to report.
The leader of the army was a military commander, the one who testified Guan Yu to kill someone yesterday, named Cao Xiao.
Cao Xiao saw Liu Fan picking the tripod with his own eyes yesterday and admired him very much. So Liu Fan naturally directed the thousand soldiers to march towards Puzhou County.
There were no established cavalry in Hedong County. There were only dozens of horses in this thousand soldiers, and they were all slow horses. They were mainly used to pretend to be a grain carriage to pull carts.
There is still a county between Anyi and Puzhou. In order to arrive before dark, Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to march quickly, bury pots and cook rice in the middle, and rest twice. At dusk, he reached the border of Puzhou County. Liu Fan asked the soldiers to camp in the suburbs near the official road to avoid alarming the snakes.
