"Deran, I think it's getting dark, why don't you go back and rest first, I'll go to the barracks and talk to Yun Chang by the way!" Liu Bei and Liu Deran rode into the county seat at this time.

"I haven't seen Yun Chang for a long time, why don't we go and have a look, now I have nothing to do when I go back, I'm alone at home!" Liu Deran stroked the horsehair and said.

"Alone?" Liu Bei muttered to himself, sighed, frowned, and said, "Deran, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Deran's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he smiled reluctantly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey~ I suddenly remembered an important matter, if you don't go to the barracks to talk to Yun Chang on my behalf, I can't get away from it now!" Liu Bei restrained his mount and said to Liu Deran.

"What's so important at this late hour?" Liu Deran asked in surprise.

"Don't ask about it, you'll find out later!" Liu Beidao reined in and prepared to leave, and did not forget a sentence at this time: "Yun Chang will ask you there!" ”

"Oh, that'll do!" Looking at Liu Bei mysteriously, Liu Deran was also ignorant.

Liu Bei rode straight to the county government, and when he arrived, he threw the reins to the guards and strode towards the county government.

He walked along the corridor to the backyard, and saw that the light in Gan'er's room was still on, so he tidied up his clothes, coughed a few times, and walked up and knocked regularly: "Gan'er, are you there?" ”

"Brother Liu Bei?" From inside the house came Gan'er's voice.

"Ah, yes, are you going to sleep?"

"Not yet!" As soon as Gan'er's words fell, she opened the door: "Brother Liu Bei, do you have something?" ”

"I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's convenient or not!" Liu Bei saw that it was getting late, and he ran to a woman's room by a big man, which was indeed a little embarrassing.

"Oh, come in, it's not too late, I haven't slept yet!" Gan'er stepped out of the way and stood on the side of the door.

Liu Bei walked in, looked around, and saw that the house was dressed plainly, there were no gorgeous and extravagant things, and there were pen and ink and books on the desk.

"Are you still reading alone?"

"Well, my grandfather has always warned me, I didn't like it very much at first, but after a long time, I got used to it, and now I don't read a book before going to bed, but I can't sleep!"

"Good habits, Li Lao does teach well, but it is also his fate, there is a granddaughter like you who is both talented and beautiful!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

Gan'er was beaten by Liu Beiyi, and suddenly her face was flushed, and she lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes.

"Brother Liu Bei, come over now, what's important!"

"Oh, look at my memory, sit down!" Liu Bei and Gan'er walked to their seats and sat down.

"Well, that's right, Tingtian'er often plays with you!"

"Well, yes, Tian'er has often come to me since she came here, and it's no wonder, because in addition to the servants, there is only one woman here, and he doesn't look for me to find anyone!"

"Since you have a good relationship, it couldn't be better, I want to propose marriage to my brother, let Tian'er and Deran get together, and the two of them live together, what do you think!"

"I think it's very good, Tian'er, I feel that I am also interested in Deran, after all, the two of them often work together, and they will naturally have feelings after staying for a long time, but I feel that Deran seems to be more wooden, and I don't feel it!"

"Hey~ It's not good to blame Deran, Deran has been like this since then, a more introverted person, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he is not good at expressing his inner emotions, especially in front of girls, even more so!"

"Anyway, I feel that you men are always very wooden, and you don't understand women's hearts at all!" Gan'er pouted and said, "Just thinking about your brother, why don't you think about yourself!" ”

"Hey~ I...... I...... Am I running out of time? Liu Bei prevaricated casually.

"It's because you don't have time that you need someone who can take care of you to help you share it!"

"I'm going to think about getting married after I'm busy for a while, and I really don't have time now!" Liu Bei changed his words at this time and said: "However, I want to ask you for the matter of Deran, you can find an opportunity to talk to Tian'er, and let Tian'er take the initiative!" ”

"You two brothers are really carved out of the same mold, it turns out that they both like to be passive!"

"Hehehe...... Did you say yes? ”

"Okay, since you're all here, can I not agree?" Gan'er blushed at this time, lowered her head and said, "Are you busy tonight, or ...... Why don't you stay with me at night? ”

Gan'er's words made Liu Bei's eyes suddenly light up, at this time he looked at Gan'er in front of him, his heart was unconsciously fluttering, and his face and ears suddenly turned red, but as soon as he thought of his wife's life, he immediately returned to his composure, and said: "Change it, it's not too early today, you should rest early!" ”

Liu Bei got up and walked out of the room with his head down, he closed Gan'er's door with his heart shut, and then left, leaving Gan'er alone in the house with tears.

At this time, Liu Bei walked to the courtyard of the county government, and a person, accompanied by the moonlight, strolled here.

He looked up at the bright moon on it, it was so big and round, and he thought to himself that it would be fifteen today.

Bright starry sky, starry, only feel that everything in the world is so quiet, the stars on the flickering bright, listen to everyone on the ground in the sky will have a star corresponding to their own, the stars are bright, they know their good luck, the stars are dim, they know their bad luck, I don't know which of the thousands of stars represents themselves, is that one dim, or that one is bright, but think about it for yourself, it should be that dim, their fate is so bad until now, My life is also full of hardships and obstacles, I am thirty-two years old this year, and there is no improvement in my career, I am busy for most of my life, I don't even have any children, I'm sorry for my parents, I'm sorry for my ancestors, I'm sorry for my teachers, I'm sorry for Xue'er, I'm sorry for my brothers, I'm sorry for everyone who has helped me.

The work of Tuntian is also over, and the matter of Deran and Yide has also been abandoned halfway by himself, where will he go in the future, he is thinking all the time, since he has no place to stand, he can only go to others, Yuan Shao? Cao Cao? These are their former hostile forces, and now they are taking refuge in him, they are inevitably too cheap, Youzhou can't go back, going back is a dead end, he killed his subordinate general Shan Jing, he hasn't had time to settle accounts with me, it's really big, and there is no place for himself.

"Xuande, Xuande, you're here!" I saw Jian Yong hurriedly running towards Liu Bei and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found you!" ”

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

"The information I just received is about Gongsun Zhan!"

"How, quick!" Liu Bei immediately said.

"Liu Yu's engagement in Yuyang Xian Yufu, Cavalry Governor Xian Yuyin, Gongsun Bin, Gongsun Biao and others led Youzhou soldiers and horses to avenge Liu Yu, because Yan Rou of Jixian County has always been kind to Karasuma, they elected Yan Rou as Karasuma Sima. Yan Rou recruited Xianbei, Karasuma and other soldiers and horses, and won tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers, and fought with Gongsun Zhan's Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan in the north of the Lu River, defeated Gongsun Zhan's army, and killed Zou Dan. Later, Xian Yufu greeted Liu Yu's son Liu He and Yuan Shao's general Liyi, and combined a total of 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, defeated Gongsun Zhan in Baoqiu, and beheaded more than 20,000 people. The coalition army was magnificent, at this time, Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping each killed the commanders placed by Gongsun Zhan, and united with Xian Yufu and Liu Hebing, Gongsun Zhan was repeatedly defeated, so he fled back to Yijing to hold on. Jian Yong reported the matter of Gongsun Chan to Liu Bei one by one.

"And then?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

"I don't know the situation later, but it is certain that Gongsun Zhan's current situation will definitely not be better, now he has many enemies, and people will punish him, even if he has the power of God, there is no way to return!"

"Gongsun Chan is now at this point, he deserves it, no wonder others!" Liu Bei came here, sighed and said, "It's just that it's cheaper than Yuan Shao!" ”

"Yuan Shao?"

"Yes, Yuan Shao! As soon as Gongsun Chan dies, there is no longer Yuan Shao's opponent in northern Hebei, he can be like a bamboo, and in one fell swoop will Youzhou, Merge Prefecture, and Qingzhou into the bag, we have to hurry up and find a way, once Yuan Shao destroys Gongsun Chan, we will be the next Gongsun Chan! ”

"This ......" Jian Yong pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, we have to hurry!" ”

"The longer the time drags on, the more difficult the dilemma of the situation will be, Yuan Shao's wolf ambition, once he occupies the four states, the Han family's lower will really be in danger, one person will become bigger and stronger, and he will not be able to lose it in the end!" The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more angry he became, and said, "Damn! ”

"You have to take your time, don't rush it too much!"

"Oh, by the way, what about the situation in the south?" Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and asked, "Is it Cao Cao and Yuan Shu?" ”

"This is the second situation I want to report to you, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian south to contain Liu Biao in order to eliminate Yuan Shao's allies, and he personally led the army north to fight Cao Cao."

"How did it turn out?"

"Sun Jian conquered Liu Biao's Jingzhou under the orders of Yuan Shu, but Huang Zu could not defeat Sun Jian and was forced to retreat and flee to the Da Xian Mountains, while Sun Jian took advantage of the victory to pursue. Huang Zu's ambush soldiers fired arrows from the bamboo forest, Sun Jian was hit by an arrow, and his brain was killed in a reverse current! ”

"Tut-tut, it's a pity, a tiger general in the world died like this!" When Liu Bei heard that Sun Jian had died in battle, he shook his head again and again.

As for Yuan Shu, it is not optimistic, Yuan Shutun's army is in Fengqiu, and then there are the remnants of the Black Mountain Thieves and the Huns in Fuluo to help fight, and Cao Cao fought in Kuangting, but was defeated. Yuan Shu retired to Yongqiu, returned to Shouchun in the south, and the guard general Chen Yu did not let him enter the city, Yuan Shu retreated to Yinling, gathered troops to attack Chen Yu, and Chen Yu fled back to Xiapi. Later, Yuan Shu led the rest of the army to Jiujiang County, killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and finally led Yangzhou Mu himself. Jian Yong said: "That's all for the time being, if there is a situation in the future, I will report to you as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, the battle of Kuangting between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao is the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, this battle also established Cao Cao's absolute strength in the Central Plains, after the defeat of Yuan Shu obviously did not dare to covet the fat of the north anymore, he killed Chen Wen, and he became the pastor of Yangzhou, obviously to develop to the south, and the development of Yuan Shu's power in the Central Plains will become history in the future!"

"This Yuan Shu was defeated too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the allies completely collapsed!"

"Yes, Yuan Shu's allies have lost the capital to fight against Yuan Shao's allies, and now they can only survive, Gongsun Zan is defeated, Yuan Shu is defeated, Sun Jian is dead, so what about Tao Qian?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.

"When Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were fighting, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian led an army to attack Rencheng in the south of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao led an army to conquer Tao Qian and conquer more than ten cities in Xuzhou after repelling Yuan!"

"Good guy, Cao Cao has now defeated Yuan Shu, and then defeated Tao Qian by the way, it can really be described as a tiger and wolf, is there any movement in Cao Cao now?"

"Later, Cao Cao retired because of the lack of military food, do you think Cao Cao will attack Xuzhou?"

"The general trend, coupled with Cao Cao's strategy, and the soldiers under him are experienced in a hundred battles, Cao Cao has eaten Xuzhou this time!"

"So what are we going to do?"

"I'm going to go south and help Tao Qian go!"

"Wouldn't it be suspicious to go there rashly?"

"We and him are now nominally allies, I plan to send you to Tian Kai to serve him and send troops to Tao Qian, so that we can go together, and when we get to Xuzhou, let's make plans again!"

"Okay, I'll go back and pack up, go now!"

"It's so late, take a rest today, and go tomorrow!"

"Well, okay then, I'll go first!" Jian Yong was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he heard countless torches flashing outside, and the sound of swords, guns, swords, and sticks came from the east, west, north, south, and north directions, which made Liu Bei and Jian Yong confused at this time.
