Last night, Gai Xun and Liu Yun drank and talked happily all night.

However, he was also drunk and unconscious.

After Gai Xun agreed to Liu Yun, it seemed that he was suddenly liberated, and the whole person was completely relaxed.

Through bowl after bowl of wine, he vented his dissatisfaction with the imperial court, his hatred for Dong Zhuo, and his dissatisfaction with the incompetence of the three princes and six ministers such as Huangfu Song in the wine.

Since Zhongping abandoned his official position and returned home in three years, and then was re-re-re-established by the imperial court, he served as the Taishou of Wudu County, until today, Gai Xundu has not been satisfactory and has lived a very bad life.

At that time, he agreed to enter the court as an official, which was a mistake.

What kind of bullshit West Park Eighth Captain, a group of capable generals, actually obeyed the orders of a small yellow gate.

Can this still be considered a court? The dictatorship of eunuchs, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and now the foreign generals control the government.

Gai Xun couldn't figure out what was wrong, anyway, there was nothing wrong.

Before getting completely drunk, he only said one word, "Oppose!" Must be reversed! ”

When people drink with emotions, it is easy to get drunk, especially the depression that has accumulated in Gai Xun's heart for several years.

A real capable minister, in such an era, will live very painfully.

Just like Gai Xun, Liu Yun looked at Gai Xun who was sleeping soundly and drank another bowl of wine.

This wine is really not intoxicating.

Since ancient times, he has advocated being able to be a clean official, but it is difficult to be a clean official, and it is difficult to be a capable minister.

They can't go with the flow, they can't secretly develop their authority under the guise of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and under the guise of the imperial court.

They care about the world, but they often don't die well.

Now those who are in the court, standing high.

Nine times out of ten, what they are looking at is only the right in front of them.

All the people in the world, it's just the people!

……

The rising sun poked its head out in the gray dust mist.

Liu Yun left Gaifu with Wang Ting and the others refreshed, and although the weather was bad, he was in a good mood.

When Gai Xun learned that Liu Yun had also brought a large amount of salt, he proposed that he dispose of it.

The Gai family is still very good in this area, and it is guaranteed that it will definitely meet Liu Yun's demands.

Liu Yun naturally agreed, but he couldn't ask for this.

The world at the end of the Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, was the world of famous families.

Each of these has a strength that can only be matched.

Otherwise, Liu Yun would not have traveled thousands of miles to find such a general, who is now dying.

Although the Gai clan is located in the borderland, its power should not be underestimated.

The royal court sent several people around him out to find other brothers and set up a meeting in that stable.

This remote stable is particularly hot today, and merchants from the south and north gather together.

The atmosphere was originally quite lively, but after Liu Yun and the others entered, it suddenly became quiet, and a pair of eyes were fixed on Liu Yun's body.

Liu Yun felt that something was not right, slowed down his pace, and looked at the shop boss not far away.

"Big brother, you can be regarded as back, look, these are all small people who are looking for you."

The boss of the shop greeted him with a smile on his face and explained for Liu Yun.

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and looked at the shop boss in surprise.

Is there something wrong with this old guy?

He promised to let him help sell salt, but he didn't say how much fanfare, what kind of trick is this?

Finding so many people doesn't look like doing business.

At this moment, the smile on the face of the shop boss suddenly gradually retracted, and his slightly bent back straightened.

He put his hands in his sleeves, raised his chin and said to Liu Yun: "They, but they are all interested in your salt!" In his hands, there are also iron tools. ”

Behind the boss of the shop, the guests who were eating suddenly stood up one by one and raised their swords.

Liu Yun's face darkened suddenly, he didn't expect that this was a black shop.

"It seems that the two brothers I left behind should be dead!" Liu Yun closed his eyes slightly and said.

The shopkeeper laughed twice, his face full of obscenity.

"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have known that you were carrying more than just salt. Where is the rest of the salt? Hand it over, and I won't kill a few of you. The shopkeeper said loudly.

Liu Yun visually inspected the people in this store at this time, about two dozen people, which is not much.

"Wang Ting, kill it!" Liu Yun slowly pulled out the knife and said in a cold voice.

Wang Ting took a fierce step, like a wild bull out of the cage, and swung out with a diagonal sword.

This knife force carried a thousand jun, from the bottom up, and slashed through three people.

One person broke his stomach, one person broke his chest, and one person lost his head directly!

The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect this person to be so hard-boned, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and he used the knife directly.

"Kill! Kill them for me! ”

The shopkeeper shouted anxiously, and at the same time, quietly shrank back.

At this moment, several more people suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

A smile suddenly broke out on the face of the shopkeeper, and he shouted, "Boy, don't you want to be caught yet?!" ”

At the moment when he shouted these words, he heard those people shouting to Liu Yun, "Lord! ”

Liu Yun glanced at the shopkeeper and sneered: "Scatter coins, my people!" ”

The shopkeeper's face suddenly had a few layers of panic, and he really thought that it was the other person he had arranged.

Can...... How could it be this kid's person?!

"Kill!"

Liu Yun shouted, followed by Wang Ting, and killed.

Some things, only the first time and countless times!

In fact, Liu Yun thinks about it carefully, his ability to adapt to the environment is still very good.

What it was like to pick up a knife and slash someone for the first time was not so deep in his mind.

The rest, there are only countless times.

Choosing to struggle forward on this road, whether the blade is sharp or not, there is a very direct relationship.

And what Liu Yun only needs to choose is to lift the knife at the right time and put down the knife at the wrong time.

The hot blood, as soon as it leaves the body, will soon become cold.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with that body anymore.

Then a group of soldiers rushed over, completely crushing the last calculation of this group of bandits.

They are blocked by the door, just like the eight kings who have been covered in the pot, no matter how powerful the four hooves are, without the power to lift the lid of the pot, they will not have any way to live.

The war was soon over, and among the corpses on the ground, the only one left was the shopkeeper.

This was deliberately left by Liu Yun, and he still had a few words to ask.

Panic, weakness, grievances, all these emotions are like a dark cloud hanging over the shopkeeper who is shrinking in the corner.

His apprehensive gaze swept over the surrounding soldiers, and their long knives hanging low in their hands.

Any knife here could cut off his now remorseful head at any moment.

"My lord, can you ...... Spare the villain's life? The shopkeeper said in a dry voice, looking up at Liu Yun.

His mind is full of regret now, very regretful.

This kid is clearly like an ordinary businessman, why is he wrong?

"Why kill me? Just to grab salt? Liu Yun asked.

The shopkeeper was sweating in the cold weather, and he wanted to find another excuse, but he didn't.

Slowly shaking his head, the shopkeeper accepted his fate and said, "Just for ...... Salt, adults, villains are confused for a while, begging adults to spare the lives of small people, that is, to be cattle and horses, slaves and servants, and villains are willing. ”

Liu Yun knocked twice on the surface of the loess with the tip of his knife and said, "I don't dare to ask for a servant like you, I'm afraid that you will kill me in the middle of the night!" Where's my salt? ”

"It's all in the backyard, it's all in the backyard!" The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

He believes that at this time, only honesty can save lives.

He thought about it for a long time last night, and when he learned that Liu Yun was going to find Gai Xun, he hesitated and doubted Liu Yun's identity.

But in the end, I was smoked by the desire for profit!

Just when the shop boss thought he saw hope, he suddenly heard Liu Yun say, "You! I'll kill it myself! ”

As soon as a flash of panic crossed his face, his head fell off.

This expression became the last expression in his life.

If he is made into a mummy, he will be a mummy with an exaggerated expression.

"Bring the salt, let's go!" Liu Yun wiped the long knife and said.

The times create heroes, and the situation will force people in a cold direction, but fortunately, Liu Yun always feels that his heart is hot.

That's enough.

Back in Gaifu, when Liu Yun told Gai Xun about these things with a smile, Gai Xun handed Liu Yun a bowl of wine.

At the same time, he said: "Killing these people will only dirty your hands!" Go fishy. ”

"It's true, the wealth is not exposed, and I blame them for their death." Liu Yun drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and said.

Gai Xun poured the wine in front of him on the sword that he cherished so much.

"I don't know how many people there are in this world. But I know that at least half of the people today think that it is easier to make a living with a knife, a gun and a stick than with an industrious hand. Gai Xun slowly wiped the already shiny and sharp ring-head knife, it was indeed a good knife that could be picked and broken.

Liu Yun glanced at the treasure knife and said, "This society itself is the law of the jungle, but the collapse of law and discipline has allowed all this barbarism to grow. We, with the sword in our hands, also have a very important role, which is to reorganize the law, domesticate the hearts of the barbarians, and protect the good and weak. ”

Gai Xun pondered Liu Yun's words carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Although you are young, what you said is very reasonable. It's rare for you to have such an extraordinary insight at this age. ”

"That's because I read a lot." Liu Yun said with a smile.

If you read history to learn from it, you will read more books, and you will know more truths.

Gai Xun smiled and suddenly asked, "You still plan to ask for iron tools?" What's the use? ”

Liu Yun stood up, leaned on the wooden railing, looked at the good horses in the circle with envy, and said: "Iron is very useful, I want to build a stainless steel knife, a treasure knife that is better than this treasure knife in your hand." It is also necessary to build cannons, cannons that can knock down a mountain, in short, it seems that everything needs iron. ”

Gai Xun's brows frowned slightly, "A sword that is better than my treasure knife?" I'm afraid there are few in the world. ”

"You'll know when the time comes, is there a way to get it?" Liu Yun asked.

Gai Xun put away his knife and said, "I'll try it, but I have prepared the horses and soldiers." This time, I came to recruit the villagers. ”

"So, don't you really raise horses, and you don't plan to go to Luoyang? But for the soldiers you recruited? Liu Yun asked with a smile.

He really thought that this old man was different from what was written in the historical records, and he planned to raise horses here to live, and he didn't plan to participate in the boiling court dispute.

"Exactly!" Gai Xun said.

Now that he has fallen under Liu Yun's command, he didn't think about hiding it.

……

Just under Han Sui's nose, Gai Xun, who seemed to have lived the second spring of his life, blatantly began to recruit soldiers.

It also gave Liu Yun a glimpse of the appeal and influence of Lord Xiliang.

What a fucking horror!

In just three days, more than 8,000 people were recruited.

Liu Yun once looked at the data survey of later generations, and at this time, the population of the entire Dunhuang County was barely 30,000 households.

30,000 households is counted as five people per household, which is only 150,000 people.

Women, children, old and young, not counting, the young and middle-aged people in each household are counted by two people, and it is estimated that it can reach an average value, that is to say, at this time, the number of people who can serve as soldiers in the entire Dunhuang County will definitely not exceed 60,000.

But Liangzhou has produced two heroes so far, Dong Zhuo is bringing Liangzhou soldiers, and Han Sui and Ma Teng are still Liangzhou soldiers.

To this day, Gai Xun was able to recruit so many soldiers in just three days.

This can only be the influence of the Gai clan in this land.

However, Liu Yun took a closer look and found that most of the soldiers recruited by Gai Xun were Qiang and Di soldiers, and even some Huns, and only a few Han people.

Liangzhou is a place of great ethnic integration, and it is not surprising that Liu Yun has such a situation.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses, in this era when you can revolt with a thousand people, is already a large army.

Gai Xun only recruited these 8,000 men, and then he did not expand his staff, because of the limited food and grass.

Too much, he can't support it.

The iron tools that Liu Yun needed, after Gai Xun spent a lot of effort, finally got some, basically some broken copper and iron, and barely loaded three cars.

"Gai Lao, it's not much of a problem to ride back to Hanyang for dozens of times, but now that we are carrying thousands of people and horses, we want to bypass Han Sui and Ma Teng's territory and return to Hanyang, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Liu Yun fiddled with the sand table he made out on a whim, and said to Gai Xun who was lying on the couch on his side.

Gai Xun turned over and got up, rubbed his eyes for a while, and his eyes were still a little sleepy, and even said domineeringly: "Then kill back!" ”

"General Gai is mighty, but if you kill all the way back, do you always think, how many more people can you have with the 8,000 people you just recruited?" Liu Yun turned his head and asked.

This old man is even more bullish than Huang Zhong.

Gai Xun looked at the sand table that Liu Yun had put out, moved a few places, and said, "This is appropriate!" Then take a detour to Xiping and go straight to Longxi! ”

Liu Yun glanced at the location of Xiping County that Gai Xun had just posed, this was planning to run a long distance!

Detour to Xiping, you can indeed avoid Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Guzang, which were heavily guarded by Han Sui.

"In my opinion, it is better to attack Jincheng with suspicious soldiers, lure Di Dao and Ma Teng in Yuzhong to help, and take the opportunity to seize these two places!" Liu Yun stared at the sand table for a long time, and suddenly said.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have not completely broken up now, and this is also an opportunity for the two of them to separate.

Gai Xun suddenly laughed, "Gu Youwei Wei rescued Zhao, are you planning to encircle Wei to capture Zhao?" ”

"Almost! I sent someone to take the first step, so that people could secretly camp troops south of Yuzhong, and they could go straight to Yuzhong in the north and point to Di Dao in the south. Liu Yun said, marking a dot on the map, "In addition, you can also send people into Jincheng to spread some rumors." We are waiting here to recruit troops, but no one knows how many people we have recruited, tens of millions of people, which is a number in our mouths. ”

Gai Xun glanced at Liu Yun, "Good boy, are you planning to sell my reputation from now on?" ”

"Gai Lao, it's not all the same to use early and late, the key is to use the benefits! The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, so we set up a suspicious formation, pointing to the east and the west, and 8,000 people must also fight the momentum of an army of 800,000. Even if they can't beat Han Sui and Ma Teng, they have to be frightened. Liu Yun clenched his fists and said, he said that he was enthusiastic.

Gai Xun didn't answer Liu Yun's words, because he felt that this plan was very reliable, looking at Liu Yun, he suddenly asked, "I heard that you tied up Ma Teng's young daughter?" ”

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, this topic came a little suddenly.

"Gai Lao, who are you listening to?" Liu Yun asked in surprise, since he came to this place, he didn't seem to have said anything about this stubble.

Gai Xun took a sip of water and said slowly: "It's been a few days ago, didn't that little cub in Wang Ting's drink too much wine!" ”

Liu Yun slapped his head fiercely, Wang Ting, this kid should quit drinking.

How can this drink and this mouth can't be controlled! Say anything.

As a spy officer, this is a big taboo!

"I heard that although Ma Teng's young daughter has a stubborn personality, she is still strangely good-looking?" Gai Xun asked curiously, looking Liu Yun up and down, as if he was gesturing something.

Liu Yun was uncomfortable when he was looked at by Gai Xun, "Gai Lao, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, that girl is really good-looking, but she is too barbaric!" Think about it, immediately a female general, all she does all day long is killing people and conquering cities, can this be a gentle woman? ”

"It's not gentle, we are all horseback men, why do you need to be so particular, why don't you take that little woman first? Bai Ma Teng is his maternal uncle (father-in-law), and he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Gai Xun asked with a gossip on his face.

Liu Yun scratched the back of his head, Gai Xun's serious gossip made his brain hurt.

"Main...... I still didn't care about it, otherwise, with my character, I wouldn't have let her go. Liu Yun said very seriously.

During this time, he was really busy, busy before and after, busy outside and out, a lot of all kinds of things, and he could take care of the little girl.

Gai Xun put down the thick bowl in his hand and said with great satisfaction: "I will make the decision for you in this matter!" Ma Teng's daughter, even if she is tied to the cave room, should also be done. ”

Liu Yun: ......

The old man is like a bandit.

Liu Yun felt that he couldn't say that he had been a mountain bandit in the future, which was too damn embarrassing.

I don't even dare to fix a woman, what kind of mountain bandit and horse thief is this.

Speaking of which, I don't know if Yun'er's little sister has been obedient to practice yoga recently.
