Dong Zhuo opened his eyes wide and his mouth wide open to look at Liu Yu, Cai Yan, and Ren Hongchang happily hugging each other, and after a while, he whispered something "Heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass". Liu Yu of the Lion Cub Book League ignored him, and sat on the couch with Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang in his arms as if he was in his own home.

Dong Zhuo seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Yu's casual attitude, he smiled, sat down opposite Liu Yu, and then said: "Don't hide it from my brother, the subordinates I sent to Bingzhou first sent me a bad news - Bingzhou is short of food. And there is not much food and grass in our army, so I have the cheekiness to ask you for help, brother! ”

Dong Zhuo actually thinks about the stomach problems of ordinary people, not bad! Pull him along, it can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue!

"How much is missing?"

"According to Zhang Ji, the subordinate that Liu Yu sent to Bingzhou first, said that this year's Bingzhou was in a severe drought and the harvest was extremely poor, and the Xiongnu in the north often entered our Bingzhou to plunder due to lack of grain......"

"Brother Dong, just say how much stone grain you need, right?"

"Brother, can you give me 100,000 stone of food for emergencies first?" After thinking about it, Liu Yu was about to say yes, but Dong Zhuo said anxiously: "Of course I won't let you suffer, brother, if I join all the brothers in the state, you can take it!" ”

The benefits of sending it to the door are indispensable, Liu Yu immediately opened his mouth and said: "I will give 100,000 stone of grain, I only hope that Brother Dong can teach me a hard lesson to the Hun cubs who bullied me and no one." In addition, he also asked Brother Dong to send half of the captured Hun war horses to his brother after the big victory, and the brother had already wanted to form a cavalry! ”

Dong Zhuo said generously: "No problem! ”

Liu Yu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "In the future, if Brother Dong needs food, cotton cloth or weapon medicine, just come to my brother." But. My brother will settle the account, and when the time comes, Brother Dong will have to prepare some horses, salt or coal and iron minerals of equivalent value to exchange with me! ”

Liu Yu didn't know why Dong Zhuo smiled when he heard it, and nodded again and again: "It should be." You're welcome! ”

Liu Yu guessed that Dong Zhuo must not have discussed this matter with Wei Zhongdao, otherwise he would never have taken such a big advantage!

"In the future, I will ask a person named Su Shuang to contact Brother Dong, if you have any needs, just tell him, and in the future, our transaction will be completed through him!"

"I understand, after all, the court officials have a bad reputation for doing these businessmen! Brother is worried! ”

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

Soon after Dong Zhuo left, it was time for Liu Yu to leave Beijing and return to Yuzhou. In addition to Tang Long, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, the three pending traitors who had just joined Liu Yu's camp, there were also Liu Biao, Liu Dai and Liu Xuan, the three generals who were going to Yuzhou to take over Liu Yu's support, and the three major assassins!

As soon as I saw Liu Yu. Liu Biao said affectionately: "Brother, come, my brother will introduce you to my athletes." This is Huang Zu. His name is Lu Gong. ”

Not to be outdone, Liu Dai and Liu Miao said one after another: "This is the head of my family, Wang Zhong." "They are my brother's right-hand men, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng."

In the face of such five "generals", Liu Yu didn't even have the slightest intention of soliciting. After a few polite words, he ordered the troops to set off. During the trip, Liu Yu finally knew why Liu Biao wanted them to die, begging him to borrow soldiers. Because their private armament is too ...... To put it mildly, a random army of 1,000 people from Liu Yu's command can defeat 10,000 such private forces in a head-to-head confrontation!

"The formation is scattered and the outfit is not neat, I am afraid that such a force will not even be able to defeat the bandits who rob the road all year round, and it is no wonder that the three elder brothers will ask the master to borrow troops!" Liu Xuan looked at the team in the distance and shook his head and said.

Ren Hongchang said with some disdain: "Their soldiers are all selected from domestic slaves, how can they be compared with our elite soldiers who are killed from the battlefield in Yuzhou?" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Xuan said with a solemn expression: "Not all private armed forces composed of domestic slaves are so hasty, and some private armed forces are stronger than the regular army!" ”

Liu Yu was very interested in this. urged Liu Xuan to speak in detail.

"Husband, do you know why Yuan, Cao, Xiahou, Sun, Ma, and Gongsun are called the 'Six Families'?"

Liu Yu thought for a moment. said: "Because they are all famous families with a long history, and they have a strong influence both in the court and among the people? ”

Liu Yu smiled at Liu Yu, habitually took Liu Yu into her arms, and then whispered softly in Liu Yu's ear: "If the conditions for becoming the 'Six Families' are only like this, then there will be no 'Little Six Clans', wouldn't it be better to call it the 'Twelve Famous Families' directly?" ”

Liu Yu rubbed in Liu Yu's arms, and said in the warm fragrance of nephrite: "Then you can explain it to me, good lady~"

Liu Yu patted Liu Yu on the face with disgust, and said softly: "The twelve most famous clans of my Han Dynasty are not much different in terms of their popularity, wealth, and connections, and the reason why the 'six families' can surpass the 'small six clans' is only because each of them has a private armed force with strong combat power. ”

"Private armed? How strong can it be? Liu Yu pouted and asked with some disdain.

Liu Yu tightened his arms around Liu Yu with some dissatisfaction, and said slowly: "I don't dare to say what I haven't seen, but the Cao family's 'Tiger Rider' and Xiahou Family's 'Leopard Rider' are by no means inferior to our Beiwei Army!" ”

Tiger riding? Leopard riding? What's the matter, Liu Yu remembered that Cao Cao's personal guard was called "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", wouldn't it be the elite of the Cao family and the Xiahou family? Suspicious of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask Liu Yu: "Are the tiger riders and leopard riders all cavalry?" How many people are there? ”

"The Cao family's 'tiger cavalry' is a kind of soldier wearing heavy armor, its attack power is extremely strong, but its daily consumption is also very large, and the Cao family's financial resources can only maintain a thousand, while the Xiahou family's 'leopard cavalry' is modeled on the Hun cavalry, about 3,000 people......"

Liu Yu was particularly able to understand the reason why the scale of the tiger cavalry could not be expanded, and wanted to form a thousand-person ironclad heavy cavalry in the world of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" that day. He also almost emptied his cheap daddy Liu Wuzhou's private treasury!

"Sister, tell us about the powerful armaments of the other four families, shall you?" Ren Hongchang, who is responsible for the work of a confidential secretary, is much more interested in these than Liu Yu.

Liu Xuan nodded and continued: "The Gongsun family has been fighting against Xianbei and Wuhuan in Liao-dong all year round. The 'black and white righteous servant' to which it belongs is famous and fearful to the foreign race. ”

"What is 'black and white'?" Liu Yu only knew that Gongsun Zhan had a personal guard cavalry called "White Horse Yicong", but he had really never heard of this "Black and White Yicong".

"The 'Black and White Righteous Servants' are actually two solid colored cavalry: the 'White Horse Righteous Servant' with white helmets and white horses and the 'Black Horse Righteous Servant' with black helmets and black horses, each of which has 2,000 men." Liu Xuan paused, and said: "According to Xinghua News Agency, the current leader of 'White Horse Yicong' is Gongsun Zhan, and the leader of 'Black Horse Yicong' is Gongsun Du. ”

It turned out that Gongsun Du did not perform in the Three Kingdoms. As a result, the dark horse Yicong is also not worthy of its name, which is a pity for this elite army. Liu Yu rubbed Liu Yu's plumpness and motioned for her to continue.

"The cavalry of the Ma family was originally established by General Fubo Ma Yuan with reference to the Cao family's 'tiger cavalry'. Later, his descendants carried out some reforms under the guidance of the Great Food Merchant, and finally formed the 3,000 'Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry' that now crisscrosses the Western Regions. The above four families are all relied on cavalry, but the Yuan and Sun families are not. ”

Liu Yu took a breath of relief when she said this, and Liu Yu seized the opportunity to send her a cup of tea to moisten her throat. Liu Yu lowered his head and kissed Liu Yu fiercely on the face. Then he said: "The Sun family's fleet crisscrosses Jiangdong. Even the outlaw water thieves are difficult to stop its edge, and its secret training of more than 1,000 'tiger warriors under the car' is even more unfathomable, it is said that its team members are all skilled in swordsmanship, can rival 100 people. As for the Yuan family, what he relied on was the five thousand crossbowmen trained by the family, of which the 1,500 crossbowmen were equipped with special machine crossbows that could shoot through iron armor within 100 steps. ”

Liu Yu was taken aback: "What? There is a crossbow that can shoot through iron armor in 100 steps? That's the nemesis of heavy cavalry and hoplites, why didn't the old Yuan family equip those 5,000 people with that kind of special machine crossbow? ”

Liu Yu gently bit Liu Yu's earlobe and said, "Do you think the Yuan family doesn't want to?" But it is extremely difficult to manufacture that kind of special machined crossbow. The body of the crossbow must be made of iron-clad wood, and no other wood or metal can resist that pull. Even more rare is the crossbow string. With the financial resources and technology of the Yuan family, the annual output is less than 100, and it is commendable to maintain the preparation of 1,000 and a half! ”

Although the private soldiers of the six families made Liu Yu gain knowledge, they could not make him jealous. Liu Yu's confidence not only comes from his own strength, but also from the 300,000 male soldiers in his hands. As a newcomer with foresight, territory, army, and arm support, if Liu Yu is still scared by the six masters, then he will be too incompetent!

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

After ambushing them, they covered up all the way, just to prevent their sister and daughter from being touched by Liu Yu, a famous disciple. But the more they were like this, the more Liu Yu was curious about the three imperial concubines in history. Looking for an opportunity, Liu Yu pouted Liu Yu and they summoned Tang Xing, Fu Xi and Dong Xiaowan.

Thirteen-year-old Tang Xing gives people an intellectual beauty, her every word and deed, every move gives people a gentle and elegant feeling, she quickly integrated into Liu Yu's wife group with her beautiful face and decent words and deeds. Probably because of the relationship between being in the deep boudoir and having few friends, she has a particularly good relationship with Ren Hongchang, who is close in age. And she is also a fan of Cai Yan, and often asks her some questions about literature and music. For these reasons, Tang Xing often stayed in Liu Yu's carriage for half a day, and her inexplicable father would also spin around Liu Yu's carriage with a nervous expression countless times. Whenever he saw him, Liu Yu would feel inexplicably happy......

Six-year-old Fu Xi and four-year-old Dong Xiaowan are both pink, smart and cute, and look like a beautiful embryo. Maybe it's because I think that I will be a mother in the future, Liu Yu and they love these two little guys very much, they are afraid of falling in their hands, and they are afraid of melting in their mouths! What makes them depressed is that the two little guys are closer to Liu Yu than to them, and they spend much more time in Liu Yu's arms than they do with them!

There were many people and things, and it only took ten days to travel when I came, and this time it took seventeen days.

After arranging Liu Biao and Tang Long first, Liu Yu went straight to the meeting hall of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion. And You Heng has already led some not very busy Wenchen generals and more than a dozen people that Liu Yu has never seen to wait here.

After seeing the ceremony, You Heng smiled and said, "Lord, Lord Xun Yu has found two medical masters for you in the Zhaoxian Pavilion. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yu is very interested in the person who can be called a master of medicine by You Heng. couldn't help but ask Xun Yu: "Who is it?" ”

Xun Yu pointed to two honest old men who were over fifty years old and said: "It's these two - Huatuo Huayuanhua of Qiaojun, Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang." ”

Hua Tuo? Zhang Ji? The author of "The Book of Green Capsules" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases"?! Haha, that's great! Liu Yu excitedly stepped forward and shook Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji's hands, and said happily: "It's great that the two gentlemen can belong to my Yuzhou, thank you for the people under Liu Yuxing's rule!" ”

Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The ministers are willing to serve the Lord and the Lord!" ”

"How can it be the work of dogs and horses", Liu Yu looked at them one by one. Zhengse said: "In the future, the injuries and illnesses of my Yuzhou soldiers and civilians will depend on you!" ”

The two worldly doctors were all moved, and said in unison: "The ministers will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xun Yu and said, "You did a great job." In the future, my injuries in Yuzhou will definitely be greatly reduced! ”

"This is all thanks to the blessing of the lord!" Xun Yu slapped Liu Yu on the back, and then said: "The minister has led the recruitment hall for several months, and hundreds of junjie from all over the country have come to join the lord, and today the minister brought the best of them to see the lord." ”

"Oh. Introduce me to the introduction! ”

Xun Yu walked up to the pile of people Liu Yu didn't know. Pointing to two elegant scribes who were about thirty years old, he said, "These two are Zhuge Xuan, the head of the Zhuge family of the Wang clan of Shan-Donglang Evil County, and his younger brother Zhuge Xuan. This time, the Zhuge family came to vote, which fully proved the reputation of the lord in Shilin. ”

Zhuge Jue and Zhuge Xuan? It seems to be Zhuge Liang's father and uncle, right? Earned! When did Xun Yu become so fond of sycophants? Do I have a reputation in Shilin? Didn't those Confucian students all say that I was lustful and useless?

When Liu Yu was puzzled, Zhuge Jue explained the real reason why they came to Liu Yu: "My Zhuge family has offended the Yuan family for some reason, and I can't gain a foothold in Shandong-Dong, so the special family asks for refuge under the lord's door, and I hope the lord will take it in!" ”

I see! Liu Yu said to Zhuge Jue in a soft tone: "You can stay in Yuzhou with confidence, I won't let my subordinates suffer a trace of grievances!" ”

Zhuge Jue said gratefully: "Thank you, lord! ”

After dealing with the problem of the Zhuge family, Liu Yu looked at Xun Yu with his eyes. He nodded knowingly, pointed to several other middle-aged scribes who were also dressed in Confucian robes, and said, "These two are the clan brothers of Zhang Hong and Lord Zhang Zhao - Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao; This is Fan Kang, a famous man from Bohai; These two are Jingzhou celebrities Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue; These four are also the world's sages - Xu Jing, Liu Yan, Cui Yan, and Tian Chou. ”

Most of these are historical celebrities that Liu Yu is well aware. Liu Yu had an intimate conversation with them with great enthusiasm, and of course he would not forget to use mind magic. Anyway, now that the Heavenly Dao restricts him very little, he is naturally happy to open the door when the Heavenly Dao allows!

After the politeness of Liu Yu, Kuai Liang and others came to an end, Xun Yu pointed to the two strong men with strange appearances and said: "These two warriors are Hu Che'er and Hu Chi'er, they have strange skills, and they can carry a weight of 500 catties and travel 700 miles a day......

Hu Che'er is a well-known halberd thief, and even Dian Wei was killed by him, so he is naturally a good talent. Although Hu Chi'er's name is unfamiliar, since it can be compared with Hu Che'er, it is not a simple thing to think of!

Xun Yu pointed to the last thin but very muscular gray-clothed middle-aged man and said, "This is the master craftsman-Zheng Hun." ”

Zheng Hun? Another character I haven't heard of! But Liu Yu trusts Xun Yu, since he said that Zheng Hun is a master craftsman, then Zheng Hun must be very good at craftsmanship. In the future, you can appropriately pass on some modern technical knowledge to him to study, so as to improve the productivity and combat effectiveness of Yuzhou!

Next, Liu Yu selectively told Liu Yu's old and new vassals what happened in Luoyang.

As soon as Liu Yu's words fell, You Heng spoke: "My lord, the minister has already formed three mercenaries according to your orders. Now the generals who lead the army and the strategists who accompany the army are staying in the barracks and can set off at any time! In addition, Su Shuang also took 300,000 stone of grain from the treasury by the warrant of the lord, and not long ago he sent back the news that the state side took out 10 million catties of crude iron as an advance payment to buy grain, which will be sent to Yuzhou in the near future. ”

"Hmm," Liu Yu nodded. A little proudly said: "How is it, Liu Yu's trick is amazing, right?" ”

You Heng, who was greatly influenced by Liu Yu, gave a thumbs up very cooperatively and praised: "The lord is the lord!" ”

"Hahaha." Liu Yu accepted his praise disrespectfully, and then asked the people next to him who didn't know why: "Tell me how we should arrange Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and Tang Long?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking, and Liu Yu had a headache when he heard it. So it was very irresponsible to let You Heng take full authority to deal with this matter, and Liu Yu went back to his backyard to find his wives.

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

Time is fast and fast, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Yu has already sent away Liu Biao, Liu Dai and Liu Xuan, and the three mercenaries with other plans have also been handed over to them. Thinking of their grateful expressions at that time, Liu Yu felt embarrassed. So Liu Yu specially asked his father-in-law Cai Yong to write a letter to the Cai family in Jingzhou. Let them cooperate well with Liu Biao's work. In this way, his Jingzhou thorn history will not only be very relaxed, but also have the opportunity to hug the beautiful girl!

As for the three pending moles, after the discussion of Liu Yu's advisers. Liu Yu appointed Fu Wan as the Yingchuan Criminal Prison Division, Dong Cheng as the captain of the Yingchuan East Gate, and Tang Long as the Yingchuan Diannong Division. These three positions are all medium positions of power, and the Queen Mother and Empress should not have complaints. Put these three people in Yingchuan, the base camp of people with a lot of wisdom. There's no need to be afraid that they'll be ghostly.

Liu Yu left everything to his subordinates. Even Liu Yu put He Man and Xu Chu solely responsible for the training of the Beiwei Army. And what Liu Yu has to do every day is to chat with his wives and practice skills, and later provoked Liu Yu to imply Liu Yu, saying that if this continues, Liu Yu will be overshadowed by his subordinates.

Hearing this, Liu Yu could only prevaricate her with "don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people", looking at her implicitly worried eyes, Liu Yu's heart was full of apologies. But Liu Yu couldn't tell her that the loyalty of these people was almost full under Liu Yu's mind magic, and he didn't have any worries about this at all, right?!

On this day, someone came to report that a young man who claimed to be Liu Yu's apprentice asked to see him outside the house.

My apprentice? Huang Xu's kid? No, it won't. Everyone in my house knows him! Well, it won't be...... Liu Yu hurriedly summoned him. Soon. Two imposing young men appeared in front of Liu Yu's eyes. As expected, the extremely heroic man with a silver gun in hand was Liu Yu's first apprentice in this world - Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

Liu Yu laughed and stood up and said, "Zilong, you're finally here!" ”

Zhao Yun also seemed extremely excited, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Don't Xiao disciple see Master!" ”

"Children talk nonsense. How can you be unscrupulous, you are the founding disciple of the mountain that I am proud of! Liu Yu picked him up while scolding, then slapped him heavily on the shoulder and asked, "Okay, come, introduce this friend of yours to the teacher." ”

Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed and pointed to the young man next to him and said, "Master, this is the disciple's newly acquainted friend Taishi Ci Taishi Ziyi. ”

Tai Shi Ci? Liu Yu was very surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but look at this generation of fierce generals who died because of Zhang Liao at the age of only forty-one in history. He is about 190 centimeters tall, with a majestic body and a bronze face, and his eyes are full of respect, worship and gratitude when he looks back at Liu Yu. Respecting and worshipping Liu Yu can be understood, after all, Liu Yu's reputation as "the first in the world" has a great deterrent effect on martial artists. But where does this gratitude begin?

"Donglai Tai Shi Ci see Liu Hou!" Tai Shici stepped forward and paid homage to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu hurriedly helped him up and asked with a smile, "Why is Ziyi so polite?" ”

Tai Shici's tiger eyes flashed with a little starlight, and he said with a whimper: "In the Yellow Turban War three years ago, if it weren't for Liu Hou's troops, my mother would have been dead long ago. The only way to save my mother's grace is to repay it with my body! I hope the Lord will answer! ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and said righteously: "The most basic duty of a general is to protect the family and defend the country, I just did what I should do, how can I accept your return because of this?" Looking at the strong reverence in the eyes of these two ancient celebrities who were still simple young men, Liu Yu couldn't help but secretly praise Ji Cheng.

"If all the officials of the Han Dynasty can be like Shizun, then what kind of war is there? It's a pity that we have traveled all the way, and only under the rule of Shizun can be called the prosperity of the state, and the people of other states and counties are not happy! ”

"May the Lord make the whole world like Yuzhou! Tai Shi Ci would rather be a small soldier under the command of the lord, but also do his part for the great cause of the lord and the peace of the people! If the lord refuses to take him in, Ci will have no shame to go home to see his mother, and he will only die! ”
