"Why did you invite my lord to the banquet, why did you lead the army and horses to chase after you?" Everyone saw a military horse arriving from afar, and it turned out that Zhang Nan led the original 300 sergeants to come.

Zhang Nan glared at Cai Mao angrily, Cai Mao glanced at Liao Hua again, dismounted and apologized to Liu Du and Han Xuan, and said, "Brother Liu Huang, Chu Hou." This matter is a pure misunderstanding, and I hope that the two of you will put the overall situation first and go back with me to discuss the alliance. Another day, Mao will come to the door to apologize! ”

"No need! I have been invited by Liao Gongzi to visit his mansion, General Cai Mao, please go back! Liu Du said lightly.

Cai Mao was deflated, so he had to lead the army back to the city. Liu Du, Han Xuan, Liao Hua and others all went to Liaojiazhuang.

"General Liu, look, this radius of 500 miles is governed by my Liao family......" Liao Hua rode on a horse and introduced Liu Du as he walked.

Han Xuan saw many children squatting on the ground and playing on the road, and the faces of the farmers and women who came and went were full of happy smiles, which showed that although this was a mountainous place, they were also living a stable life under the protection of the Liao family.

This is only the tip of the iceberg of the Liao family's power, and the Liao family occupies a pivotal position in Xiangyang City and Liu Biaojun.

After walking ten miles further, Liu Du and Han Xuan came to a large compound, Liao Hua invited the two into the door, looked at Zhang Nan and a general, and said: "Liao Kai, you take General Zhang and the soldiers to live in Wubao, so that you can entertain them, and you must not slack off!" ”

The family named Liao Kai took Zhang Nan and a group of soldiers to the southwest, Liu Du and Han Xuan sat down in the hall, Liao Hua ordered someone to serve tea first, and then called an old man.

It turned out that the old man was Liao Hua's father Liao Quan, Liao Hua was Liao Quan's youngest son and Liao Quan's favorite. Liao Hua's elder brothers have already married and have their own family businesses, leaving Liao Hua to wait for his elderly father at home.

Now that Liao Hua is just and weak in the year of the crown, the Liao family's industry is naturally handed over to Liao Hua for management, and Liao Quan is relegated to the second line, no wonder Cai Mao, who has always been contemptuous, is also respectful to Liao Hua.

Liao Quan had a conversation with Liu Du and Han Xuan, making it clear that their Liao family would never serve someone like Cao Cao. They are very traditional in their bones, thinking that the Han family is orthodox, and Cao Cao is really a national thief when he holds the Son of Heaven hostage.

Liao Quan has a good impression of the Han family relatives such as the surname Liu, which means that Han Xuan has no chance to win over the Liao family. Liao Hua also didn't want to guard his own industry for the rest of his life, and in troubled times, he naturally wanted to choose a British master to assist him, and his two most optimistic buyers were Liu Bei and Liu Du.

It's just that Liu Bei's strength is not worth mentioning now, and Liao Hua is naturally more inclined to Liu Du, and his words reveal that he wants to serve Liu Du. Han Xuan couldn't help but feel that Liu Du's luck was also part of his strength, he crossed over and was supported by the strength of the Han family, and Liu Du was a real self-made, in addition to modern knowledge, he could only rely on the identity of the Han family.

After talking with Liao Quan and Liao Hua, Han Xuan said to Liu Du: "Now it's not expected to form an alliance with Liu Biao, then Cai Mao is a surrender faction in history and is unreliable." ”

"What else can I do now, you and I have an alliance?" Liu Du asked.

Han Xuan smiled: "Although I am captured by you now, even if I die, Jiangdong still has my eldest brother Han Hao." He can also keep Jiangdong from losing, and my brother Chen Wu, don't forget, he is also a traverser! ”

"Hehe, I can't help you now. Let's put aside the contradiction between you and me for the time being, and first talk about how to deal with Cao Cao? Liu Du let out a sigh and said to Han Xuan.

Han Xuan analyzed: "Cao Cao is much stronger than in history now, even if you and I direct a good show of burning Chibi, if Guo Jia doesn't die, can Cao Cao still be tricked?" ”

Liu Du is not sure, they are just modern people, and they have received modern education. Intrigue and intrigue may not be able to defeat these ancient wise men.

Liu Du said: "Then what should we do, why don't we join forces to attack Xudu first?" ”

Han Xuan shook his head: "I don't have a good way for the time being, I can only take one step at a time." What we can do now is to unite all the forces that can be united, use all parties to contain Cao Cao, and not let Cao Cao unify the north so quickly! ”

"How about uniting Liu Bei, after all, Cao Cao doesn't dare to despise him." Liu Du asked.

Han Xuan nodded, he was still a little worried: "Liu Bei at least has the same goal as us for now, and we will go to Xinye to discuss with him in a few days." Also, watch out for the Tribulation Gate, because I finally know that their target isn't just me, it's all of us traversers! ”

Liu Du still wanted to ask in detail, but Han Xuan didn't say any more, he and Liu Du were opponents, and the information was to be kept for exchange.

After Cai Mao went back, Liu Biao learned that Cai Mao sent someone to ambush Liu Du and Han Xuan, and called Cai Mao to scold. Mrs. Cai interceded for Cai Mao again, Liu Biao was so angry that she spit out a few mouthfuls of old blood, seeing that Liu Biao was terminally ill, but the two of them were still thinking about persuading Liu Biao to make Liu Cong his heir.

Let's say that Han Hao and Chen Wu learned that Liu Du took Han Xuan to Xiangyang to ask Liu Biao to discuss the alliance, Chen Wu said: "Now that Liu Du is in Xiangyang, the guards will definitely be lax, if you don't save my eldest brother back at this time, when will you stay?" ”

Han Hao said: "Please ask Zilie for this matter!" ”

Chen Wu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely save my eldest brother!" ”

Zhang Zhao dissuaded: "The general commands the army to guard the border, how can he go out lightly? ”

Chen Wu sighed and said, "Then let the Shadow Tiger Army go." ”

Han Hao said: "Dong Ping has the important task of monitoring the Sun family, and he can't be moved. ”

Wang Cang thought for a while and said, "I guarantee a person, named Zhou Shan, who has the most courage. Since childhood, he has worn the house and entered the house, and he mostly followed Chuhou. Send him now. ”

Since Wang Cang stepped down as the Taishou of Guiyang, he has served as Han Xing's teacher and often comes to Hanfu. This time, Han Xuan was captured, and he also offered advice.

Zhang Zhao said: "Don't leak it. That's all there is to it. ”

Han Hao then secretly dispatched Zhou Shan, led 500 soldiers to pretend to be merchants, divided into five ships, and hidden weapons in the ships. Zhou Shan was ordered to come from Jingzhou by water, the ship was moored by the river, and Zhou Shan sneaked into Jingzhou to find Han Xuan.

After some inquiry, he learned that Han Xuan had gone to Xinye, and Zhou Shan hurriedly led people to follow him to Xinye.

Xinye, Liu Du, Han Xuanzheng and Liu Bei were negotiating, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were standing around Liu Bei.

Han Xuan said: "Uncle Huang is concerned about Sheji, and Xuan Shi worships him. It's just that I, Jiangdong, have just experienced a major war, and there are more than internal rebellions, so I can't afford to go north to attack Xudu. ”

Liu Du coughed lightly, looked at Han Xuan, and said to Liu Bei: "I Lingling is also unable to send troops, and the two of us came here to conclude a joint defense treaty with Xuande." ”

saw Zhang Fei on the side snorted coldly: "Nest! If my eldest brother had such capital, he would have killed Xu Du long ago. ”

Although Zhang Fei is not as reckless as in the romance, he is still a little impatient. Guan Yu on the side also squinted and looked at Han Xuan with an arrogant expression.

Although Zhang Fei's words went to Liu Bei's heart, Liu Bei still reprimanded him twice, these two people in front of him were much stronger than him, and he didn't dare to offend.

Liu Du ordered Zhang Nan to bring three copies of the covenant, which roughly said that if Cao Cao attacked south, the three families with money and grain would pay for the food, and those with soldiers and generals would send troops, and swore to stop Cao's army outside Jingzhou. The three of them wrote their names and fingerprints on the covenant, and the temporary alliance was reached, and Liu Du asked Liu Du to transfer a copy to Liu Biao, striving to win Liu Biao into the alliance.

Han Xuan put away the alliance book, but saw Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes suddenly open, and shouted to the roof not far away: "Who? ”

It turned out that when they concluded the alliance, someone was eavesdropping on the roof, but fortunately, Guan Yu detected the eavesdropper's anger in time. Even if Guan Yudang chased after Zhang Fei, Han Xuan, Liu Du, and Liu Bei also hurried over.

I saw a man in black holding a dagger and fighting with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were using swords, which were not the weapons that the two of them were best at. But this man in black was able to draw with the two, which shows the high level of his martial arts.

Liu Bei couldn't help but smack his tongue again and again, if he didn't win this person today, it would be a big shame in front of Han Xuan and Liu Du.

The dagger of the man in black stabbed at Guan Yu again and again, Guan Yu dodged and dodged, but Zhang Fei stabbed with his sword. The man in black didn't want to fight the two, so he threw down two fireworks to escape.

At this time, a young general led his troops over to surround the man in black, and the man in black had nowhere to escape, so he carried the Qinglong Yanyue knife and threw it to Guan Yu: "Second uncle, go on!" ”
