Wang Zhi, who was covered in blood, had bruises on his face, gritted his teeth, like a mad beast, using the last bit of strength in his body and swinging his knife.

"Ahh

The roar was like thunder, pouring into the tattered ring head wound.

The clash between the lingering ring-headed knife and the sharp-edged spear is like a prime man teasing a twilight old man who can't take a step.

After a few choking sounds, everything was quiet again.

In just one round, Wang Zhi's burly body was picked up by Ma Tie and fell to the ground weakly.

Even if Wang Zhi's heart has thousands of surging battle intent, this body full of holes can't support it.

"Wang Zhi, you can't do it! Take refuge in me, and I'll save your life! ”

Ma Tie removed the spear in his hand, and he couldn't bear to kill Wang Zhi because he was a little talented.

As soon as his words fell, suddenly a thunderous shout came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of rolling horses' hooves.

"My brother, I don't need you to use such means to buy it!"

And with this voice was a group of fierce and sharp cavalry.

They swept over like a whirlwind of clouds, and no one under the horses' hooves could stop them.

Ma Tie's face changed suddenly, but he didn't have time to do anything at all.

The extremely fast soldier rushed his subordinates, who were less than 100 people around.

The mountains do not turn around, and the speed of feng shui turns is too fast.

What happened to Wang Zhi just a moment ago fell on Ma Tie in a blink of an eye.

The situation is so similar.

This team of cavalry is obviously dusty, but it has the fighting power of a jackal, and everyone's face is full of fierceness.

Ma Tie, who was born in Liangzhou, naturally recognized that these were all people from the northern frontier of Liangzhou.

Every move, with a ruthless aura, is only the soldiers in those bitter cold places on the frontier.

Dozens of spears were aimed at his body, Ma Tie smiled bitterly and slowly put down the spears in his hand.

glanced at Wang Zhi, who was lying on the side with his dying breath.

Ma Tie said in a low voice, "Your life, it's good!" ”

I don't know if he is lamenting the timing of this coincidence to the extreme, or feeling that Wang Zhi followed a good lord.

"Tie up! For the sake of your love for not killing my brother, I will not kill you. ”

Liu Yunshen sighed and walked quickly towards Wang Zhi.

"Wang Zhi, Wang Zihan, you open your eyes to Lao Tzu, you are saved! Give Lao Tzu a breath, you won't die. Liu Yun lifted Wang Zhi with difficulty and shouted loudly in his ear.

This grandson, you can't sleep!

"Wang Zhi, did you hear it? This is a military order! Military Order! Liu Yun shouted loudly.

Wang Zhi's weak pulse and breathing made Liu Yun's heart tense for a while.

Hurrying and hurrying, he didn't want to see such an outcome.

Wang Zhi, you can't die!

You can't die, you haven't fought with me in the world.

Wang Zhi......

Slowly, Wang Zhi's eyes, which were covered by coagulated blood, slowly opened, and the corners of his mouth pulled a smirk, "Lord...... Lord, subordinate...... Incompetent, incompetent ......"

"Incompetent you fart, don't talk! I'll wait for you to heal, don't worry, you'll be fine, you'll be fine. Liu Yun roared anxiously, and yelled at the soldiers around him, "Come on, hurry!" The medical workers in Xiangwu City, find me as many as I want! Right away. ”

"Whoa!"

The war horses around him are galloping, and the war that should continue is still continuing.

It's just that Ma Tie was captured, and the remaining stragglers were no longer enough.

……

Two days later, in Xiangwu City, the snow was removed.

Under the clear blue sky, Liu Yun and Gai Xun sat opposite each other, with tea in their left hand and wine in their right hand.

The liquor is distilled, and the tea leaves are scavenged from the government, which are all rare things.

"Lord, this person from Nangong Ting, otherwise find a chance to kill him!"

Gai Xun basked on his back in the rare warm winter sun, and said with a hint of sleepiness in his voice.

Liu Yun tasted this very luxurious tea and asked casually, "Did Elder Gai notice something wrong with him?" ”

"This person has a backbone, embarrassed to reuse!" Gai Xun said.

The words are very direct, and there is not even a reason.

Liu Yun smiled, "It turned out to be Gai Lao's intuition, but this person is indeed overwhelmed, but he can't be killed now." Yesterday night, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Han Sui, he did not intend to betray us, but he was the nail arranged by Han Sui by Ma Teng's side. It's too early to pull it now, wait a little longer. ”

Gai Xun raised his head and took a sip of wine, but did not speak again, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to Liu Yun's statement.

"Gai Lao Bird and Mouse fought with the cave mountain, beheaded thousands of people, and killed Ma Teng without any temper, but he is more and more pretending! Aren't you afraid of drinking like this and choking yourself? Liu Yun said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Gai Xun suddenly turned over, coughed violently, and his face turned red into Guan Yunchang.

In between coughing, Gai Xun glanced at Liu Yun and said innocently: "If the lord didn't say so, I wouldn't be like this." ”

"Hahaha...... Gai Lao, I'm just telling the truth. You drink like that, and although it looks cool, it's only a matter of time before you get choked. Liu Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, the old man didn't hear it, Liu Yun actually scolded him.

"Cool?" Gai Xun asked suspiciously, he didn't understand these strange words that popped out of Liu Yun's mouth from time to time.

Liu Yun knocked his finger on the door of his head, thought about it and said, "It's just that the posture is good-looking, you can talk more about it in the future." ”

"Cool, cool......" Gai Xun really read it a few times, and saw that it was memorized.

Just joke about it, Liu Yun immediately said: "Gai Lao, now that we are cutting the land of the western half of Longxi, I intend to ask Gai Lao Tun soldiers to garrison Shouyang, Lingjiao County, and Xiangwu County, what do you think?" ”

The land of Hanyang and Longxi is the old territory of Gaixun.

He is more familiar with the complex ethnic forms here, and he also has a lot of prestige among the Qiang, Di and other ethnic groups.

Liu Yun thought about it, if he wanted to suppress this place, I am afraid that only Gai Xun would be available, and there would be no one available except him.

Gai Xun didn't have any opinions, he said directly: "Just follow the orders of the lord." ”

"In that case, what other requirements does Gai Lao Ke have?" Liu Yun asked while sipping tea.

Gai Xun squeezed the last drop of wine, licked his lips, and said: "There is no requirement for the tun guard, only one thing, please ask the lord to set up a school in Hanyang and Longxi." ”

Liu Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "As far as I know, when Elder Gai was in charge of Hanyang, he didn't approve of this matter!" Why is it advocating for a school now? ”

At this time and day in and day, incompetent people such as Song Xiao thought that letting every household copy the "Book of Filial Piety" would make the people of Liangzhou understand the principles of benevolence and righteousness, which was simply unattainable. What's more, at that time, the bandits rose up, and it was not the time to do extraordinary things. But now there is a side of the main town, and it is a proper move to build a school and educate the people. ”

Gai Xun said slowly, with a lot of emotion in his expression.

Liu Yun couldn't help laughing, although Gai Xun is old, he really learns things quickly.

Sometimes he involuntarily pops out of the swear words, this old man, now he has simply learned the essence.

Gai Xun's request, Liu Yun thought about it and agreed.

Establishing schools and improving cultural quality are things that should be done and must be done in the construction of localities.

Although in Liu Yun's opinion, everything is undecided now, it is still a bit too early to do this.

In the era of frequent wars and lack of food, how many families are willing to send their children to study?

But since Gai Xun proposed it, Liu Yun also agreed, and if you make a foundation in advance, you can test the water, and it's okay.

"Gai Lao, there is one more thing, I need craftsmen from various counties and townships, as many as I want. You are all tired, and you are all sent to Izumo Mountain. Liu Yun remembered this stubble and said.

At a time when all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, in Liu Yun's eyes, craftsmen are the first in productivity.

Gai Xun replied with a smile: "This matter does not need to be done by the lord, Xun should handle it himself." ”

The fact that his lord has several workshops on Izumo Mountain has been heard about by Gai Xun in the past two days.

It is said that it is now the most novel place in the entire Hanyang-gun.

Salt works, paper mills, garment mills, etc......

Gai Xun is also curious, and plans to take a look if he has time.

"I don't know how the lord plans to place Nangong Ting?" Gai Xun suddenly asked again, he was still more worried about this person.

Nangong Ting's arrangement, Liu Yun told the truth, has not yet thought it through.

It's only been a few days since he surrendered, and his backbone is already so obvious, and even the handle has fallen into Liu Yun's hands.

It would be a great disaster to keep him in some important position.

But Liu Yun still wants to use this person to make some small moves, if he doesn't arrange a similar one, I'm afraid it will arouse his vigilance.

When the time comes, he will lose his wife and his soldiers.

Liu Yun shook his head with a deep groan, "I don't have any plans for the time being. ”

"How about arranging to obey orders under the Lord's account?"

Gai Xun said, took out another jug of wine, looked at it, and put it back on.

He especially cherished the wine that Liu Yun made with very crude means.

Much more enjoyable than what he had drunk in the past.

Gai Xun's words suddenly woke up Liu Yun, "You mean, Xu Yi's vacant position and not the implementation of power?" ”

"That's kind of what it means." Gai Xun said stunned.

Liu Yun's fingers tapped on the stone table and thought for a moment, "Well, then let's do it." ”

With a wry smile, Liu Yun continued: "Actually, I didn't take this person to heart, and I was most worried about Ma Teng!" ”

Gai Xun didn't understand what Liu Yun meant, and suddenly said loudly: "The lord is relieved, with me Gai Xun in one day, Ma Shoucheng will not want to take a step beyond Shouyang, and the last general can make a military order." ”

Liu Yun waved his hand slowly and said, "Gai Lao misunderstood, what I'm worried about is Ma Wenlu and Ma Tie!" But it's pretty much the same thing. Ma Teng's son and daughter are now in my hands, guess what Ma Teng will do? ”

"This matter ......" Gai Xun couldn't help but hesitate, "If this matter is handled properly, it may still be profitable, but if it is handled poorly, it will be a war against each other." ”

Liu Yun said indifferently: "Now that we and Ma Teng have met each other, what else is there to fear?" With these two hostages in our hands, Tsushima Teng, in fact, we have a greater initiative. What worries me is how to use these two people to get the greatest benefit for us. The value of these two people is not small at all. ”

No matter how many children Ma Teng has, it is impossible to ignore Ma Tie and Ma Wenlu.

He will definitely find a way, and he must be many times more anxious than Liu Yun.

Liu Yun remembered that it seemed that Ma Tie, a kid, was born to be a hostage, and he seemed to have been planted in Cao Cao's hands for a while, and then hung up because of this.

"The lord may be able to coerce Ma Teng into a war with Han Sui on all fronts. The pot of water in Liangzhou has been thoroughly muddled, which is the most beneficial to us. Gai Xun said in a presence, "Moreover, Ma Teng will definitely agree." Although he and Han Sui used to be comrades, they are now a little incompatible, and if there is no other situation, it will be a matter of time before war starts. ”

When Gai Xun is serious about making a trick, he is particularly cute.

But Liu Yun is still hesitating, under the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his perception of Ma Teng is actually not bad.

He didn't want to completely tear his face, even if he started a war now and robbed other people's places, there was still a chance to turn around. But if you really do what Gai Xun suggests, it will be difficult to talk to Ma Teng again.

"Forget it, this matter will wait a few days, I have sent a spy to Di Dao, let's see Ma Teng's reaction first." Liu Yun thought for a while and said.

Gai Xun fiddled with the wine bottle and suggested: "My lord, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." ”

Liu Yun also knows this truth.

But what he is thinking about now is not only the matter of Ma Tie and the two people, the most important thing is how to use these two good chess pieces to maximize his own interests.

Kindness or anything is not something to consider at this time.

"Talk to Ma Teng!" Liu Yun suddenly raised his head and said.

After thinking about it, it is better to put this matter on the negotiation table and see Ma Teng's conditions.

Gai Xun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "That lord may need a sharp-tongued staff!" Moreover, he also needs to know how to maximize the interests of the lord, the territory, the money and food, or become the spear in the hands of the lord. ”

"What do you think of Mr. Gongsun?" Liu Yun asked.

Gai Xun stood up, greeted Gongsun Lu, who happened to walk into the garden, and said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe no one can understand better than Mr. Gongsun that the interests of the lord are maximized, haha." ”

Gongsun Lu smiled and bowed to Gai Xun, "I've seen General Gai!" ”

Then he said to Liu Yun: "Lord, Wang Zhi has woken up." ”

"Let's talk about maximizing profits, I'll go see Wang Zhi!" Liu Yunmeng was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Liu Yunfeng rushed into the inner courtyard in a hurry, leaving Gongsun Lu with a confused face.

"What is benefit maximization?"

"What I'm guessing is that the lord can get more things, what does Mr. Gongsun think?"

"The old man has never heard of it!"

"That's it, Mr. Gongsun and Shinxun's interpretation."

……

Liu Yun, who was in a hurry, almost collided with Wang Yun'er, who happened to come out.

"Ah, Yun'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're awake?" Liu Yun asked anxiously.

Because of the first meeting, many times after that, Wang Yun'er blushed when she saw Liu Yun.

She nodded slightly, and said in a thin mosquito voice, "I just woke up." ”

"I'll take a look, you stand here and don't go, wait for me! Anyway, Yun'er, what's the matter with you, you seem to have been avoiding me lately, afraid that I will eat you? Liu Yun looked at Wang Yun'er who didn't dare to look up at him strangely, and specially admonished.

This girl, in the past half a year's hard work, Liu Yun has seen it many times.

The shyness on Wang Yun'er's face instantly became like an indissolvable sunset, she twisted the corners of her clothes and nodded lightly.

Liu Yun walked into the room filled with the smell of medicine with satisfaction, and Wang Zhi was like a zombie, lying on the couch.

Seeing Liu Yun coming in, Wang Zhi wanted to get up to salute, but was stopped by Liu Yun raising his hand.

"I can't move, where did I get so much courtesy, how do you feel now? Are there any good points? Liu Yun asked.

The corners of Wang Zhi's mouth pulled up a reluctant smile, and said: "It's much better to have the labor master, Fang Cai Yun'er told me that I have been lying down for two days, but it really shocked me." I slept in such a good spirit that I felt like I could go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"Settle down and recuperate. To tell you some good news, we won a big victory and successfully won Shouyang, Xiangwu and Barrier County! Liu Yun said with a smile.

Liu Yun felt that Wang Zhi should be the first person to know about this news.

But instead he became the last to know.

The excited smile on Wang Zhi's face had just risen, and suddenly it dimmed again.

"It's a pity...... The more than 2,000 brothers, who died unjustly, please punish the Lord. ”

Liu Yun patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you for this, I blame me." You were originally in a feint attack on Yuzhong, but I suddenly gave the order to travel hundreds of miles and attack Xiangwu in a hurry! The soldiers were already exhausted, and they were unprepared at night, so they caused a disaster, blame me! ”

This battle led to such heavy losses.

After Liu Yun thought about it carefully, he could only blame him.

Wang Zhi's department feinted to attack Yuzhong for two whole days, and then attacked Xiangwu urgently, and the horses were estimated to be exhausted, let alone people.

After losing more than 2,000 people in World War I, Liu Yun was also miserable when he thought about it.

That's more than 2,000 lives, although Liu Yun has sent Gongsun Lu to send money and food to the families of these soldiers in the past two days.

But the soldiers never came back.

The general is incompetent and tired of thousands of troops, which is also the reason why Liu Yun tried his best to dig up Gai Xun.

"My lord......" Wang Zhi choked up and whispered, but he couldn't say anything.

Liu Yun soothed and said: "Take care of your injuries, I'll wait for you to show your strength again!" ”

Wang Zhi sat up and bent down at Liu Yun with a solemn expression.

Everything is in plain sight.

After explaining to the medical worker, Liu Yun walked out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard, feeling the warm sun, Liu Yun felt a trace of indescribable depression.

Now, it's no longer a small fight on Izumo Mountain.

At that time, he had less than a thousand soldiers, and now there are tens of thousands.

And the territory has expanded several times in a short period of time.

"Lord, you let the servant marquis here, but you have something to order?"

Wang Yun'er's whispering like a warbler interrupted Liu Yun's daze.
