Liu Yu said to Zhao Yun slightly apologetically: "Alas, it was the master who mistook you and Tang Xing!" ”

Zhao Yun was a little excited when he heard this, "How can you blame Master?" My generation of men should have the world in mind, how can they be trapped in the private affairs of their children? He paused at this point, blushed and twisted a little and continued, "Besides, it's not too late! ”

Liu Yu laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, when Yuan Shao is defeated, the master will personally go to Yingchuan to propose to you!" ”

When Zhao Yun knelt down happily and thanked him, Liu Yu aimed at Huang Xu and Tai Shici: "What about the two of you, do you have a sweetheart, say it, I will give you all the decisions at one time!" ”

Huang Xu smiled and said to Liu Yu: "The apprentice hasn't met a favorite one yet, why don't you help me pay attention to it, Master." The requirements of the apprentice are not high, just about the same as Master Fan! ”

Liu Yu knocked on Huang Xu's head angrily, and scolded with a smile: "You are still not demanding?" Your peerless posture like Master Fan's is rare but unattainable, where can you let me help you pay attention? ”

Huang Xu muttered and said, "Then I'll find it myself, I'm going to do it rather than abuse!" ”

Liu Yu didn't care about him anymore, turned his head and asked Tai Shici: "Ziyi, what about you, if not, let me introduce you to one?" ”

Tai Shici, who had a handful of beautiful hair at a young age, was also asked by Liu Yu and blushed, and his current appearance can be called "the second generation of Guan Gong". But he was a little better than Zhao Yun, at least he could speak: "I." I'm going back and ask my mother! ”

#############################################################

Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, and Zhao Yun all went to where they should go, and generals from all over the country also wrote to say that everything was in place, and now Liu Yu finally put his mind at ease. So the days of idleness resumed.

"Husband, according to Xinghua News Agency, Cao Cao appointed Xiahoudun as a general and Xi Zhicai as a military advisor, and led 100,000 troops to Hangu Pass. Its striker Zhang Xiu had led 20,000 horses to build a camp five miles outside Hangu Pass, and General Xu Huang had tentatively led 30,000 defenders to kick the camp, and the two sides had a scuffle. In this battle, our army annihilated more than 5,000 enemy troops, but suffered losses of more than 3,600 people. The enemy generals Zhang Xiu and General Xu Huang fought for 300 rounds, and they were also victorious. Liu Yu lay in a rocking chair and listened to Ren Hongchang report the situation in various places for him.

Liu Yu's three major intelligence agencies all have their own work priorities, such as Li Ru's S.H.I.E.L.D., which is mainly responsible for all kinds of intelligence in Liu Yu's sphere of influence. Most of the work was carried out on the surface, and of course, this institution nominally belonged to the imperial court. Su Shuang's Xingchanglong Trading Company and Tang Zhou's Xinghua Society were completely loyal to Liu Yu personally, and the former was mainly responsible for business intelligence and geography and humanities in various places; The latter relied on the art of charm to plant spies in all walks of life, townships, villages, and prefectures. After several years of development, Xinghua Society can deservedly say that "Lao Tzu is the best in the world" in terms of the scope, accuracy and speed of obtaining information.

On the one hand, Liu Yu was proud of his perfect intelligence network, and on the other hand, he was a little annoyed by Xu Huang's losses: "How did this Xu Huang do it, he lost nearly 4,000 people in Yiyi's attack, and he couldn't even train his soldiers after being a guard general in Hangu Pass for two years?" That Cao Cao's son-in-law's martial arts are really good, and Xu Huang's martial arts are also ranked best in our army, and he fought to a draw......"

Ren Hongchang kissed Liu Yu's face and said with a smile: "That Zhang Xiu is Tong Yuan's apprentice after all, and it is expected that he can fight to a draw with General Xu Huang." ”

"Tong Yuan? Is it the 'Spear King', the oldest of the three Grandmasters of the Earth Rank? ”

"yes. A year ago, Tong Yuan had been hired by Cao Cao Li as the chief instructor of gunnery in the whole army, and Cao Jun's combat power has now improved a lot! ”

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu couldn't help but say, "Tong Yuan was hired by Cao Cao as the chief instructor of spearmanship a year ago?" Why don't I know at all? ”

Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu. "When people came to report to you at that time, you drove them away, saying don't bother you with these little things, and saying, 'A bad old man, there's nothing to be afraid of'." What, now I regret it a little? ”

I touched my chin a little embarrassed. Liu Yu changed the topic and said: "Now Cao Cao has two grandmaster-level figures, do you think he will take all the three grandmasters of the earth level into his pocket?" ”

Ren Hongchang smiled and said, "How is that possible?" ”

Liu Yu retorted with some disbelief: "How is it impossible? First of all, the 'Sword Saint' Wang Yue became Cao Cao's thug because of his nephew. Then the 'Gun King' Tong Yuan was somehow moved to serve as Cao Jun's chief teacher of swordsmanship, can you be sure that 'Sword Venerable' Sun Buer will not become Cao Jun's chief swordsman for some reason? ”

Ren Hongchang looked at Liu Yu silently, her eyes made Liu Yu uncomfortable, Liu Yu asked with a little guilt: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?" ”

Ren Hongchang gently stroked Liu Yu's face, sighed, and said faintly: "Husband, why are you so lazy?" Then ignoring Liu Yu's ignorant expression, he continued: "Didn't the cousins of the major family members that the intelligence officers worked so hard to sort out have not seen it? 'Daozun' Sun Buer is Sun Jian's eldest brother, how could he betray the family and join Cao Cao? ”

"How is that possible?" This time, Liu Yu smiled, "Ren Hongchang, are you joking with Liu Yu?" Although Liu Yu didn't read that information carefully, he also clearly remembered that Sun Jian's eldest brother was called 'Sun Qiang', not 'Sun Buer'! ”

Ren Hongchang looked at Liu Yu with a gaze that made Liu Yu's heart furious, and said, "I'm afraid that you didn't read it carefully, but you didn't finish reading it at all, right?" ”

Liu Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and asked, "Hehe, Hong'er, how did you know that I didn't finish reading that information?" ”

Ren Hongchang burst out laughing, and she bent her fingers and gently flicked Liu Yu's forehead. said: "Because the end of that information clearly states that the name used by Sun Jian's eldest brother Sun Qiang in the rivers and lakes is Sun Buer!" ”

In order not to give Ren Hongchang a chance to laugh at himself. Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "Why does he use a pseudonym in the rivers and lakes?" Is he afraid that if he uses his real name, the enemy will find out his origin, which will bring disaster to the family? ”

Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu with disdain, and said, "With the strength of the first family in Jiangdong, will you still be afraid of people seeking revenge and making trouble?" ”

Liu Yu, who was hit again, had to ask honestly: "Then why did he change his name?" ”

Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu helplessly. explained: "Sun Qiang is obsessed with martial arts, and talented, twenty years ago, he was only a year old and he was known as the world's second sword master, but he was arrogant and said to people, 'The goal of this life is to be the first in the world, never to be the second in the world', and even changed his name to Mingzhi. However, the big family has the rules of the big family, and it is impossible for him to change the name taken by the elders. Therefore, his name of Sun Fuji can only be used in the rivers and lakes! ”

I see! It seems that Sun Qiang is also an interesting person! Touching his chin, Liu Yu said cheekily, "Hong'er." Can you tell me about the situation of the three Grandmasters of the Earth Rank and the Old Immortals of the Heaven Rank? ”

Ren Hongchang looked at Liu Yu with unbelievable eyes and exclaimed, "Husband, you don't even know this common sense, right?" ”

Liu Yu, who was already mentally prepared, looked back at her with a smile on his face, and Ren Hongchang looked like he had been defeated by Liu Yu and said: "The old immortal of the Heavenly Order is talking about Nanhua, the sect leader of the Taiping Sect who cultivates in Mount Tai, and Zuo Ci, the sect leader of the Dunjia Sect who cultivates in Shushan. The Taiping Sect pays attention to the good of the world, so most of the talismans in his sect are the art of curing diseases and disasters. His practice texts are "Taiping Yaoshu" and "Taiping Qing Dao Ling".

"Taiping Technique" was passed on to his little disciple Zhang Jiao by Nanhua Lao Xian, and Zhang Jiao used this book to form the Taiping Sect and disturb the world of the Han Dynasty. "Taiping Qing Dao Ling" was passed on by Nanhua Laoxian to his eldest disciple Yu Ji, who is now preaching in Jiangdong and has a very high popularity.

What the Dunjia Sect seeks is to refine its body alone, and its cultivation classic "Dunjia Heavenly Book" is divided into three volumes: heaven, earth, and man. It is said that cultivating 'human escape' can hide and deform, and take people's heads with flying swords; cultivating 'earth escape' can penetrate mountains and stones; once cultivating 'heavenly escape', you can ride the clouds and ride the wind, and soar to the void. So far, I haven't heard that Zuo Ci Immortal has accepted apprentices, and his Dunjia Sect Master's disciples are only one person combined! ”

Liu Yu's eyes narrowed, and he felt that this "Dunjia Heavenly Book" seemed to be a comprehensive cultivation treasure book. It should be much more clever than the "Taiping Technique" that Tang Zhou showed him! If you have a chance, you should take a look......

"Are they the most famous people in the world who practice the Dao?"

"No, although these two old immortals are highly respected by the world, they are not as good as Zhang Daoling of the Heavenly Master. Even they themselves admit it. ”

Liu Yu asked with great interest: "Why is this?" As far as I know, Zhang Daoling has been dead for many years! ”

Ren Hongchang nodded, and said with admiration: "Although the two Heavenly Rank Old Immortals are powerful, they have only absorbed the wisdom and experience of their predecessors. Zhang Daoling is different, he originally cultivated in Heming Mountain, and later wrote the hand-me-down works "Heavenly Palace Chapter" and "Three Days of Righteous Law" with heaven and earth as his teacher, and then he founded the Heavenly Master Daoguang to collect disciples and teach various methods for the benefit of the people. Later, the Five Doumi Sect was established to help the poor people, and hundreds of thousands of people benefited at that time. Therefore, although Zhang Tianshi has now materialized and gone. But his fame is still above Nanhua and Zuo Ci. ”

"Is Zhang Daoling cultivating in Heming Mountain? But why did his grandson Zhang Lu move the main altar of the Wudou Mi Sect to Hanzhong? Liu Yu was very puzzled by this.

Ren Hongchang showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said: "Zhang Heng, the son of Zhang Tianshi, is to blame for this matter." This man was ambitious and talented, and he wanted to make a career that surpassed his father's, so he cooperated with Zhang Jiao and served as the Western envoy of the Taiping Sect. Later, implicated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court sealed the mountain gate of the Heavenly Master's Dao, Heming Mountain, and Zhang Heng died of shame. Zhang Tianshi's grandson, Zhang Lu, had no choice but to listen to the advice of the elders of the sect and moved the main altar of the mountain gate to the Hanzhong region, where there were many followers. ”

Hey, Zhang Lu can be regarded as a blessing in disguise! What turned out to be a simple sect has now become de facto a theocratic princely force!

"Well, okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let's continue to talk about the movements of other princes' armies, right?"

Probably the word "nonsense" caused Ren Hongchang's dissatisfaction, and after she glanced at Liu Yu fiercely, she said angrily: "Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang as a vanguard general to lead an army of 30,000 to Hanoi County first. And he himself personally led an army of 100,000 with the remaining one tiger and two foxes to follow. When this information was sent, Yan Liangbu had just arrived in Chaoge, and according to their speed, they should be in Makino now! ”

Liu Yu nodded. He asked, "Are they all in place?" ”

"Yes. Mr. Fu Zhu took General Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, Tai Shi Ci and 30,000 horses into Hanoi, and took over the city defense work from General Fang Yue. The work of the fortified Qingye was also done well, and most of the Hanoi people crossed the river to live in Xingyang, and a small number entered the city of Hanoi. At present, there are only more than 180,000 inhabitants and 80,000 soldiers in the city of Hanoi. There was also enough food, grass and defensive tools in the city, and Mr. Fu sent a letter to ask your husband to rest assured, saying that Hanoi would never be lost. And he will look for an opportunity to strike at Yuan Shaojun. And according to Huang Xu, that is, 'I'm on a diet right now.' Get ready to eat tiger meat'! ”

"Hehe......" Liu Yu laughed a few times and asked, "How is Gongsun Zhan's situation?" ”

Ren Hongchang showed a puzzled expression and said, "The movement of Gongsun Zhan's army is very strange! They did not attack Jibei, which was guarded by General Zhang He, nor did they attack Dongjun, which was guarded by General Lu Yi. ”

Liu Yu also felt a little strange: "Could it be that they have been stationed in Jinan County and have not done anything?" ”

Ren Hongchang shook his head and said, "Gongsun Zhan divided the army into several thousand cavalry teams, and then sent these small troops into Yanzhou to plunder the people. Although we had done a general mobilization before the war and moved most of the people to safety, nearly 30,000 people were still taken captive by Gongsun Zhan. Husband. What do you mean when you say he doesn't attack the city and rob people? ”

Looking at Ren Hongchang's bewildered and cute appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but take her into his arms, first kissed her on the delicate red lips, and then said in her white eyes: "It seems that Gongsun Chan has also realized the importance of population." ”

Ren Hongchang, who was awakened by Liu Yu's words, said to himself: "I didn't expect this Gongsun Chan to be really a little clever, and he knew that he couldn't get any benefits from his husband, so he simply didn't fight, and directly grabbed some people, money and food to increase Qingzhou's strength." Fortunately, the husband had the foresight to order the front lines in various places to implement the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, wow. Husband, you are so smart, I love you so much! After speaking, he gave Liu Yu a passionate tongue-kiss.

When the heat dropped slightly, Liu Yu asked, "What about Sun Jian and Yuan Shu?" What is their situation? ”

Ren Hongchang added a slightly red and swollen but more attractive red lips, looked at Liu Yu with silky eyes, and said delicately: "Yangzhou General Zhang Liao led an army of 80,000 and the 50,000 Jiangdong Army led by Zu Mao confronted each other across the river, the Jiangdong Army is afraid of the might of our army, and our army is also afraid of the Jiangdong Navy, and there is no big move on either side at present. Only some small frictions occur from time to time. The funniest thing is Yuan Shujun, Zhang Xun led an army of 30,000 and was recruited back by Yuan Shu as soon as he left Jiujiang County. There was no follow-up action when the information was sent, and in my opinion, Yuan Shu was a tiger, and he didn't dare to fight with his husband! ”

At this time, Liu Yu was basically relieved, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were no threat to Liu Yu, and the two armies of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were not afraid under the precautions of Guo Jia, Xu Huang, Fu Zhu, Zhao Yun and others, and he could finally relax and continue to live his corrupt life.

###########################################################

"Xiangye, the Queen Mother, please enter the palace to see you." As soon as Liu Yu returned to the mansion, he received a message from He Lingsi from a small yellow door.

During this time, because the misunderstanding with He Lingsi was resolved, Liu Yu often attended her and her wife's parties, and they were already familiar enough to make some harmless jokes, but it was the first time that they had made a separate appointment like today. Seeing the little yellow gate leading the way and taking him to the Imperial Garden, Liu Yu couldn't help asking, "Is the Queen Mother enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden?" ”

"If you go back to Xiangye, the Queen Mother should rest in Cuihualou now."

When he walked into Cuihualou, he saw He Lingsi sitting there wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you dressed so formally today, it won't be a blind date, right?" ”

He Lingsiqiao's face flushed, first dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs standing around, and then glanced at Liu Yu, and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's not because of you that I'm dressed like this!" ”

Liu Yu deliberately made a look of surprise and shouted, "Oh my God." Do you want to go on a blind date with me? ”

He Lingsi glanced at Liu Yu with shame and annoyance, and then looked at Liu Yu with resentful eyes and said angrily: "People want to, but I'm afraid you don't agree!" ”

Liu Yu, who was countered to the first army, felt embarrassed. I had to scratch my head and change the subject: "Okay, no kidding." Why do you say it's because of me? ”

He Lingsi didn't continue to dwell on the topic just now, and after glancing at Liu Yu, he said coquettishly: "Your subordinates have something to discuss with you, but after a few days, I searched through the entire Luoyang and didn't find you, the most leisurely prime minister in the history of a big man." So they came to me, and I couldn't just dress casually to meet them, so I put on this burden. You say, it's not because of you, it's because of whom? ”

In the past few days, Liu Yu has been cultivating in the dragon vein of the Great Han in Beiyu Mountain with the help of the remnants of the Great Han's luck. How could his men possibly find him in Luoyang City?! After laughing a few times, Liu Yu asked with some doubts: "What are they looking for me?" It can't be that something went wrong with the war situation, right? If that's the case. Hongchang will tell me when I get home! Okay, don't sell it, why the hell did they come to you? ”

He Lingsi replied, "Do you remember where we first met?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at her and replied angrily: "Isn't it this Cuihua Building?" ”

He Lingsi's eyes were misty. seemed to be recalling something, and after a while, he said softly: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, I am fifteen years old!" Things are not people......"

"Hey, I said don't talk nonsense, okay?" Liu Yu impatiently interrupted He Lingsi's emotion and said, "I also know that Wei'er is fifteen years old, but does this have anything to do with what you just said?" ”

"Big fool." After He Lingsi finished scolding, he glanced at Liu Yu again, and then said: "Bian'er should be the queen at the age of fifteen, but you, the minister who should be in charge of affairs, are not here these days, so those three princes and nine ministers have come to discuss with me the choice of the queen." Now you get the idea, right?! ”

So that's what happened! Liu Yu asked relievedly: "Is there a result then?" Who are you going to choose as queen? ”

He Lingsi nodded and said: "My sister-in-law's niece is not only as good as a flower, but also knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, and is really an excellent candidate for daughter-in-law." Although the girl is three years older than Wei'er, there has always been a saying among the people that 'a female junior holds a gold brick', so we all belong to her. ”

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Since you all think it is appropriate, then set it and pick a day to tell the world." ”

He Lingsi responded: "Okay." Then I will send someone to Yingchuan tomorrow to announce the decree. ”

Liu Yu asked curiously: "Does that girl live in Yingchuan?" ”

"Yes, her name is Tang Xing. She is the daughter of Yingchuan Taishou Tang Long. ”

"What, your appointed queen is Tang Long's daughter Tang Xing?" Liu Yu confirmed in disbelief.

"yes." He Lingsi replied in the affirmative and then asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"Of course there is a problem." Liu Yu patted the table and said loudly: "I originally planned to go to Yingchuan to propose to Tang Long after defeating Yuan Shao, but who knew that you came to intervene, what's the matter, do you want to rob me of someone?" ”

He Lingsi was taken aback at first, and then said softly with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you also took a fancy to that girl, I, I'll choose someone else!" ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You bring all the candidates' information, let's choose together!" ”

He Lingsi ordered a eunuch waiting outside the building to get the information, and then quietly watched Liu Yu without speaking. Just when Liu Yu was uncomfortable being stared at by her complicated gaze, she lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Are you going to marry Tang Xing as soon as Yuan Shaojun is defeated?" ”

Her words made Liu Yu both surprised and amused, and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?" ”

He Lingsi seemed to have added a lot of courage, she looked directly at Liu Yu and asked loudly, "Let me ask you if you are going to marry Tang Xing back to be your seventh concubine after Yuan Shao retires?" ”

Liu Yu finally couldn't help laughing, and asked rhetorically in He Lingsi's angry gaze, "When did I say that I was going to marry Tang Xing?" ”

He Lingsi was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that after you defeated Yuan Shao, you would go to Yingchuan to propose to Tang Long?" ”

"Can't I help my apprentice propose?"

He Lingsi's eyes were full of brilliance all of a sudden, and she said with joy on her face: "So it's not you who wants to marry Tang Xing, but your apprentice?" ”

Liu Yu was a little suspicious of the reason for her excitement, and couldn't help but take a preventive shot first: "Why are you so happy?" Although Tang Xing is not the woman I booked, she is also my future apprentice and daughter-in-law, I will never let others beat her idea, don't want to rob me! (To be continued)
