When Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong fought until the twenty-seventh together, he excused himself to stop fighting in the snow, which made everyone laugh, and Ma Qiang gave Jian Yong a horizontal knife, which was regarded as recognition and expectation for him.

That night, Ma Qiang left Liu Bei and others to spend the night in the Red Star Camp.

In the private room of the canteen, Zhang Fei and others were blowing bottles of soju one after another, and Ma Qiang and Liu Bei came to the hillside outside the camp.

On the hillside, the two looked at the scattered lights of the camps in the distance in the dark night, these lights were basically the lights of the camp school, and they thought that under the lights, the little teachers were teaching their parents and uncles to read and write in their immature voices.

Liu Bei sighed, "I heard Mr. say that he wanted to let the Red Star Camp be able to read and write, but I don't believe it, but now I know what it means that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as the heart is strong!" ”

"Xuande doesn't seem to be very ambitious in Zhuo County?" Ma Qiang also knew some of Liu Bei's situation in Zhuo County, so he asked.

"Han Envoy Jun and Bei do have differences on some matters." Liu Bei did not deny it.

"If the chaos is imminent today, Xuande should make plans early, in my opinion, it is better to choose a county as the county lieutenant, and win the name with military merits in the future."

"Bei has the same heart."

"Xuande has wings and virtues to help each other, and he will be able to make contributions." Ma Qiang looked to the south, in Zhangjiao, Jizhou, is he also looking forward to the arrival of the Jiazi Year at this time.

Pity... The year of Jiazi is not an auspicious day for you, but the day of your death...

Late at night, Liu Bei suddenly sat up, looked at Zhang Fei who was sleeping on the side, and carefully dressed and walked out of his bedroom.

Outside, a lone voice stood holding a knife.

"Qingming, it's really you, why don't you go back, your father has been thinking about you!"

Under the moonlight, a man in his twenties leaked his face, and the knife he was holding was a Tang knife given by Ma Qiang to the chiefs during the day.

"My dad... He... Are you okay? ”

"Uncle has aged a lot over the years, that day my uncle didn't choose you to go to Luoyang, you ran away in anger, do you know how sad your uncle is, since you have returned to Youzhou, why don't you go to see the second elder? Where have you been all these years? ”

It turned out that this person's name was Liu Xin, the word Qingming, was the second son of Liu Bei's uncle Liu Yuanqi, when Lu Zhi opened a class in Luoyang to accept apprentices, Liu Bei was selected by Liu Yuanqi to go to Luoyang to study with his eldest son Liu Deran, which made Liu Xin, who was the same age as Liu Bei, very annoyed, and the last person left a letter with a sword on his back and left.

"I wanted to go to Luoyang, but I didn't expect to go the wrong way, to Jingzhou, in Jingzhou and because of the water and soil adaptation, I had a disease, and then thought that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so I went to Yizhou again, and worshiped in the Wuben Hall, now although I have achieved academic success, but the fame has not been established, so I dare not return home." Liu Xin sighed, raised his horizontal knife again, and said with a smile: "When I was walking in Jizhou, I heard that there was a strange person in Youzhou, so I mixed in with the homeless people, but I didn't expect to be the head of the tun now." ”

"If you want to make a meritorious name, you can write a letter to recommend you to my senior brother Gongsun Zhan, he is now in Liaodong for a long history, wouldn't it be better for you to go to him?"

"Why did Brother Xuande deceive me? Now that the yellow scarf will rise, the battalion owner is training hard and the soldiers and horses, must be hoping to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, when I will kill the flag on the battlefield, and wait for the battalion owner to gain the Tao, we can also ascend to heaven, is there a lack of rewards? Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains, and I am afraid that there will not even be a war at that time.

I just came to inquire about the situation of my second elder today, and now I know about it, and I have left! Saying that, Liu Xin turned his head and left, Liu Bei knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only sigh, and when Liu Xin left, he muttered, "The knife and gun have no eyes, I just don't want my uncle to be sad for my brother..."

- Luoyang

In a somewhat deep courtyard, several people sat together, their faces difficult to see in the dim light.

"Tomorrow is the year of Jiazi, how is Taiping Dao preparing?" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade dress sat on top and asked in a low voice.

"Thirty-six people are mobilizing, and people from Jingzhou and Yangzhou are constantly going to Jizhou, in order to cover up their movements, but it's really not easy." The answer was a scribe with a short beard and a sharp eye, which showed that this person was quite alert.

"There are 36 sides of Taiping Road, there are millions of young and strong, once there is an incident... It can't be really—" Another asked the man sitting at the top of the room, with some concern.

"Haha, Wen Zu has been thinking about it a lot, and he must have already considered this matter at the beginning." Just now, the scribe looked at the brocade-clothed man with a confident face, and the faint light shone on his face, which was Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, the concubine of the Runan Yuan clan.

This person is Xu You, whose words are far away, and he is a close friend of Yuan Shao.

This is Yuan Shao's annex, and many of the people gathered here are party members on the list, such as Wang Fen, who just said that Wen Zu is one of the eight chefs, because of his reputation, since the disaster of the party, he has been hiding incognito with the help of friends for more than ten years, which can be described as a ruined family.

If you want to say that the people who hate the top ten permanent servants and Liu Hong in the world, he must be among them.

"In the Taiping Road, most of them are poor people, these people don't read poetry, they are greedy and lustful, and they forget their righteousness when they see profit, so why are they afraid? As long as you show a small profit, you will be able to induce the dignitaries in the road to denounce it, and at that time, the Taiping Road is not well prepared, and it is not difficult to destroy it! Yuan Shao stroked his beard and said with a chuckle, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was so calm, the others also nodded and put their minds at ease.

When the others dispersed, Yuan Shao was the only one left.

"Zi is far away, the stakes are very high, you must be careful." Yuan Shao patted Xu You's hand and instructed.

"Don't worry, I still want to see the day when you ascend to the position of the third prince!"

Listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Those who know me, Ziyuan, go to Jizhou, you need to help me investigate the heroes of Jizhou, Jizhou is the head of Kyushu, outstanding people, our great cause, we still need the help of heroes!"

"But that's the case, by the way, why didn't Ben call Ah Pu this time? Ah is resourceful and worthy of a great task! ”

Xu You and Cao Cao were also close friends, and the three of them often played together when they were young.

"After all, Ah Pu is a eunuch, although he is close to me, but such a big event, you must not be guarded against!" Yuan Shao expressed his worries, and then laughed at himself a little, "I used to say that I was suspicious, but I didn't expect that today, I also began to be suspicious." ”

Xu You sighed and said, "This is the original cautious move, what kind of suspicion is it!" ”

Watching Xu You leave, Yuan Shao looked in the direction of the palace.

There, there was everything he wanted.

It's true that he Yuan Shao is a concubine, but he just wants to prove to the world that the concubine doesn't matter at all, and he Yuan Shao is the first person in the Yuan family!

——

"Brother, then Yuan Shao is convening the secret meeting of celebrities and scholars again, does he still have you as a brother in his heart? He's forgotten who he is! Yuan Shu stood in front of Yuan Ji, stomped his feet and shouted.

Yuan Ji held a book in his hand, turned a page gently, and was not angry, but persuaded Yuan Shu to come.

"The matter of Taiping Dao, the adults have all handed it over to Ben Chu to deal with, why should we be angry, Ben Yi is also running for my clan."

"Running around, he is for himself, where is it for our Yuan family, brother, you wait, sooner or later he will destroy our Yuan family!" After speaking, Yuan Shu strode out angrily, Yuan Ji shook his head helplessly, fortunately he was still there, otherwise these two people would have to make trouble in the sky.

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside, Yuan Ji's eyes also became hollow.

Jiazi year... It's finally here
