The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet! ------- Han Gaozu. Liu Bang "Song of the Great Wind"

It is said that Chen Long and others left Chang'an, went all the way south, and returned to their hometown Lingling, which was the return of the dragon to the seabird and the forest. Along the way, the first practice group was the second weight, and there were already many mysteries, and I accidentally found Wang Fang sent by Jia Xu to keep an eye on. Wang Fang confessed that Jia Xu did not inform Li Wei, which made Chen Long feel lucky, and it was expected that Jia Xu had left a way back for himself and would not rashly report the matter of Li Wei Zhongxuan, so he released Wang Fang and let him leave.

Chen Long knew that Wang Fang's lies might be difficult to deceive Jia Xu, who had a strong IQ. However, Jia Xu should be able to understand that Wang Fang deliberately let him go, and this person has become a channel of communication between Chen Long and Jia Xu, which also means that he is not afraid of Jia Xu telling Li Xu. The true meaning of this is really very mysterious, and only smart people can read it.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Fang left, Jia Xu closed his eyes in the study, thought carefully, and suddenly asked people to prepare carriages and horses and rush to General Li Wei's mansion. Could it be that Jia Xu is still ready to report this matter to Li Wei? Zhong Xuan is in danger.

Jia Xu's carriage did not stop all the way, and when he arrived at Li Wei's mansion, the soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Jia Zhi and hurriedly introduced them into the study. Li Dao wore a neat general's uniform and hurried to meet him. Jia Xu hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "General Li, General Dong is about to arrive with his troops, right?" ”

Li Wei took off his hat and helmet, took off his robe, and asked Jia Xu to sit down and talk. I went to the bookshelf and took out two letters and said, "Mr. Jia, General Dong's soldiers and horses will arrive in a few days." When the time comes, the sea and the sky in Liangzhou will be at our disposal. Thanks to Mr. for his clever plan! He laughed proudly.

Jia Xu was not in a hurry, opened a letter and read it, and saw that it contained some action plans of Dong Zhuo's army, asking Li Dao and the others to prepare and so on. opened another letter, saying that after Zhong Xuanai was from the Yingchuan family, in order not to cause a shock in the imperial court and affect the overall situation of the subsequent troops in Liangzhou, Zhong Xuanguan was temporarily reinstated and acquitted, so as to reduce the material discussion and not hinder the follow-up action.

The two letters were neatly presented in front of Jia Xu's eyes, and the font was generally the same. Jia Xu stared at the payment of the two letters, and said with a slight smile: "General Li, this is the best." In the future, we will rely on General Li to attack the city and pull out the village, Liangzhou is our base, once we sit firmly, we can compete for hegemony in the world. Did these two letters come back and forth? You put it away. As he spoke, he handed the packed letter to Li Dao.

Li Wei took it, put it in the bookshelf casually, and said with a smile: "I think that the news of Zhong Xuan's imprisonment spread to Luoyang, which caused heated discussions among many families in Yingchuan, and General Dong noticed this matter and added another letter." I have already ordered the release of Zhong Xuan and the reinstatement of the official. ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly, stroked his mustache, and smiled: "That's the best." General Li, I have drunk all the fine wine you gave me last time, and I will give me a few more bottles. ”

Li Wei laughed and shouted at the door: "Someone!" ”

Jia Xu was behind Li Wei, quickly put the two letters on the bookshelf into his arms, and Shi Shiran walked out of the study. When Li Wei saw Jia Xu walking out, he didn't go back to the room, and ordered the soldiers who came to the door: "Move a few jars of Lao Baifen to Mr. Jia's carriage." Saying that, he and Jia Xu walked slowly towards the outside of the house.

Jia Xu returned and muttered to himself in the sound of the carriage: "The hero in the portrait is really a good means. You used a fake letter to release Zhong Xuan, and you dared to leave Zhong Xuan to continue undercover, which is indeed both wise and brave. I have taken away your fake letter and Dong Zhuo's true letter from Li Dao, and I will keep your criminal evidence a secret for you, I am afraid that Li Dao will forget the existence of these two letters, and no one will mention this matter again. When I find out your identity one day, there will definitely be some intersection between you and me. ”

Not to mention that Jia Xu kept two letters for Chen Long, and said that Chen Long was equal to Shang Luo's smooth convergence, several carriages traveled in a row, and they stayed overnight along the road, and the road was still calm.

On the evening of this day, when they arrived at Yunyang by the Hanshui River, Lu Chang and Zhou Budo were waiting outside the county seat early in the morning, leading the cars and horses directly to a big boat by the ferry in Yunxian County, Hanshui. The carriage drove steadily along the pedals into the bottom barn, and the horses were all gathered on the back deck and circled, the forage had already been prepared, and Lu Chang also specially prepared a separate fence for Lian Na, which was filled with good forage.

Seeing that everything was in order, Chen Long ordered the boat to sail overnight in order to avoid long nights and dreams. Standing on the bow of the boat with Zhang Ning, he was finally freed from the turbulence of the land route and replaced with a comfortable big boat, and everyone had a sense of relief and pleasure. The Han water flows like golden water in the setting sun, the distant mountains are picturesque, it is the early winter of 184 AD, the leaves of various colors on the edge of the Han water are layered on top of each other, spreading all over the riverside, and the scenery is particularly intoxicating.

This year, Chen Long experienced the first trial cry of Lingling, harvested Lingling Taishou and his beloved wife Zhang Ning, and also harvested peerless generals like Guo Jia and Zhao Yun. Although Zhang Jiao was defeated, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were unfortunately killed, they won the biggest victory of the Yellow Turban Army, and their fame also rose in the imperial court. The most dangerous thing is that he had an overnight relationship with Empress He, and was killed by Emperor Han Ling, but fortunately, he strategized and finally turned Emperor Han Ling into an idiot, and the situation turned favorable. If Lingling is a bumper harvest year, it is a good opportunity to expand the Qinglong Army, and it is expected to add another 30,000 soldiers. I believe that Jiang Wan and Huang Gai will not let themselves down.

The big ship went down the Han River, and the boat moved slowly in the dark night. According to Chen Long's plan, he first went to Xiangyang City to meet with Liu Xian to learn about Liu Biao's appointment as the assassin of Jingzhou, and then continued down the Han River and returned to Lingling comfortably along the waterway. Then rectify the soldiers and horses, wait for the opportunity, and wait for Dong Zhuo and others to exterminate the Xiliang rebels, and then find a way to get the edict, put on the robe of the army, rectify the soldiers and horses, and unify the Xiliang.

Of course, before that, how to smoothly hand over the position of Jiaozhou Thorn History is also a headache. If this matter is not good, it will bury a * in the backyard of Lingling, leaving hidden dangers. Na Shixie is not an unknown person, but he is both wise and brave, and he is quite popular with the people of Jiaozhou, if he refuses to admit defeat, there must be a big war to fight.

In a few days, the ship arrived at Xiangyang City. Xiangyang is located in the northwest of Jingzhou, the hinterland of the Hanjiang Plain, named because it is located in the Yang of Xiangshui, the Han River passes through the city, and separates the Xiangyang and Fancheng on the north and south banks across the river. Historically, both cities were important military and commercial towns, and they were battled for by soldiers. Liu Bei's name of the thatched cottage happened near Xiangyang City, but unfortunately the current Zhuge Liang is just 4 years old, so let's keep him at home to study.

The big boat slowly passed around the city, and the Han River formed a small "several" shape here, and finally docked at the Yujiahu ferry port in the southeast of Xiangyang City.

It was noon, and Chen Long had no intention of entering the city, so he asked Lu Chang to go straight to Xiangyang and call Liu Xian to see him. Two hours later, Liu Xian took a few servants, led by Lu Chang, to meet Chen Long in the big boat.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Liu Xian is a little rich, in a white robe and brocade, and he is very energetic. When the brothers met, they had their own enthusiasm, Chen Long led Zhang Ning to meet, and Liu Xian respectfully called his sister-in-law.

Chen Long asked about the situation in Xiangyang, and Liu Xian first said that Liu Biao said: "Liu Biao took office, but it was full of twists and turns. After Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, was convicted, the local warlord Wang Rong led the history of Jingzhou assassination by himself, and echoed with Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi across the river. Due to the prosperity of the Jiangnan sect of thieves, Yuan Shu Yuan Highway stationed troops in Luyang, and his subordinates had Nanyang generals, which seemed to have the intention of invading Jingzhou. Wu Su Dai called himself Changsha Taishou, Han Xuan's expedition was unfavorable, and Bei Yu claimed to be the magistrate of Huarong County, and each of them blocked the river according to the militia to dominate, resulting in Liu Biao unable to take office directly, so he had to go to Jingzhou anonymously and alone. According to the instructions of my eldest brother, I have been closely monitoring the periphery of Cai Mao's mansion, and sure enough, I found that someone was secretly communicating with Cai Mao, and I was checking whether it was Liu Biao. ”

When Chen Long heard this, he nodded and said, "It is still so difficult for Liu Biao to take office in Jingzhou. If I want to take up my post in Jiaozhou, it will be even more difficult. You continue to monitor Cai Mao's mansion, and if you find anything, send an envoy to Lingling to report it. How about looking for talents from the Pang family, the Ma family, and the Kuai family? ”

Liu Xian said: "This matter is very smooth, and I am about to report it to my eldest brother." ”

When Chen Long heard the word smooth, he smirked happily, what he wanted to hear most now was that a certain famous man of the Three Kingdoms came under his wing again. Liu Xian continued: "Let's talk about the Ma family in Xiangyang Yicheng first. The Ma family is a generation of scholars, the eldest Ma Xuanma Bochang, the second Ma Kang Ma Zhongchang and the third Ma Jin Ma Shuchang are all famous people in Xiangyang, because Wang Rong does not respect the Han Dynasty, they are all closed. I am going to give a speech on the virtue of the eldest brother, and the leader of the Ma clan, Dayue, agreed to let Ma Xuan and Ma Kang both go to Lingling. Uncle Chang was still young, so he continued to stay in the clan to study for the future. ”

Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "Very good. But he couldn't say that the two constants behind the Ma family were what he wanted the most, because Ma Liang and Ma Jian had not yet formed an embryo.

Liu Xian continued: "The Pang family in Xiangyang, the patriarch Pang Degong is a famous man in the world, and he retired due to the dimness of the court and the dispute between the party and the party. When Pang Degong heard my name, he avoided it, but later heard that he and Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Cannan, were the most deed, so he met Pang Degong through Huang Chengyan. That Pang Degong seems to be good at divination, and after asking me to explain your age, policies, and ideals for a few days, he finally agreed to let his son Pang Shanmin go to Lingling. ”

Chen Long was overjoyed and got carried away and asked, "Is there a child named Pang Tong in his clan?" ”

Liu Xian was stunned and said: "I don't know this truth. How did the eldest brother hear about this child? ”

Chen Long laughed and said, "It's not about anything. With Pang Shanmin, it can be regarded as gaining the trust of Pang Degong, and this matter is handled very properly. ”

Liu Xian knew that Chen Long had some uncertain prophets, and he did not pursue it, and continued: "The most difficult thing is the Zhonglu Kuai family, and the Kuai family has two famous people, namely Kuai Liang Kuai Zirou and his younger brother Kuai Yue Kuai, who are both deep and wise, resourceful and decisive. However, I have handed over your ranking many times, but the Kuai family is closed, and I am still trying to figure out a way. ”

Chen Long smiled: "Since this is the case, there is no need to force it, let's focus on the Pang family." "I thought that with Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, why worry that Feng Xiao and Wolong will not be their military advisors in the future? I also want the two worms of your Kuai family to do something.

Thinking of this, he said to Liu Xian: "Third brother, you don't have to go back to Xiangyang, go back to Lingling with me." I want to reorganize the army, and you happen to be involved. After the reorganization of the troops is completed, they will return to Lingling. Liu Xian hurriedly returned to the city, made a little arrangement, and rushed back to the big boat. Just as Chen Long's big ship finished replenishing the water, he set sail again. After a few days, after passing through the summer mouth, he turned directly into Xiangshui, passed by Baling, returned to the familiar land of fish and rice in Jingzhou, and passed through Dongting Lake again.

The big ship docked in Changsha that night to replenish the fresh water again. Chen Long missed Huang Zhong and said to Liu Xian: "Third brother, let's go see how Huang Zhong is?" Liu Xian said: "Since Han Xuan and Su Dai started fighting, Han Sheng has been on the front line. I don't know where to camp at this time. ”

Long Chen sighed, and said in his heart, I just wish you all the best, can't you see clearly in this troubled world? I hope you can come to help me command the army as soon as possible, and I am willing to form a third army for you.

Time flies, and after a few days, the big ship is close to Lingling. People say that they are cowardly in their hometowns, and Chen Long remembered that day by the small lake in Shuiliandong in Qingyuan Village, when he saw Peach Blossom's white clothes, his mood was agitated, and his heart swelled with extremely deep thoughts for his beloved wife Peach Blossom.
