Under the attack of the five fierce generals, the high attached city soon fell, Hu Wei Kada led the remnants of the defeated army to escape out of the east gate, but Guo Jia had already arranged an ambush, Zhang Wang was waiting, Hu Wei Kada was killed by several arrows, and the defeated soldiers saw that they were cornered, so they had to surrender.

When Wei Yan arrived with an army of 80,000, Guo Jia had already arranged the Gao Attached City properly. Cao Hong, Wen Ping, and Zhou Tai were all annoyed. Due to the quick capture of the high attached city, a lot of materials in the treasury were captured, and the supply of the army was worry-free, and Guo Jia prepared to besiege Fulousha.

Liu Zhen hurried back to Chigu City, and along the way, a group of soldiers served General Yang very well, using whips, sticks, horse-drawn dead chickens, punishment stations, and thirst punishments. General Yang didn't last three days, and he said all the beans poured from the bamboo tube.

This General Yang is none other than Han Sui's old subordinate, Yang Qiu is also. At the beginning, Xu Shu planned to take Liangzhou and force Han Sui away, Yang Qiu, the leader of the small warlords, did not have much weight in Han Sui's mind, and was surrounded by a large army. Liu Ye ran the Western Regions, Yang Qiu's bandit team was taken care of, Yang Qiu had no choice but to sneak into the Tianshan Mountains and lurk, and the Han army launched a guerrilla war, occasionally came out to rob merchants, when the green and yellow were not available, they relied on the wild things in the mountains to make a living, or ran to the remote oasis, crazy.

After such a difficult time, the arrival of Sima Hui brought dawn to Yang Qiu. Sima Hui boasted that he had already snagged 100,000 elite soldiers, and then it was easy to lobby 300,000 elite soldiers. What kind of eloquence does Sima Hui have, the bluffing Yang Qiu was stunned for a moment, and since then he has been working hard for Sima Hui. After Sima Hui left, Yang Qiu also met Gerti by chance, and the two hit it off, and Yang Qiu helped Gerti recruit troops and instigate a labor camp in the Western Regions. Due to the language barrier, and with Yang Qiu and Gerti, they can only blow the atmosphere, which makes some workers baffled, so it has little effect.

Gerti felt that he was strong and strong, and he couldn't let go of Ma Tiantian in his heart, so he sent his cronies around the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to inquire about her. Ma Tiantian went down to the Tianshan Mountain, looking for Liu Zhen to no avail, and hesitated alone, because he was riding a white camel, dressed in white, and his goal was obvious, and he was soon followed by Gerti's cronies. The cronie followed him for more than ten days, and finally met his accomplice, and then handed the news to Gerti, who was overjoyed. It happened that Yang Qiu's subordinates had a wave of merchants, and there were not many guards, only more than five hundred, Yang Qiu felt that he couldn't eat, so he came to Gerti for help.

The elated Gerti felt that it was a double happiness, so he cooperated with Yang Qiu, first catching Ma Tiantian, and then eating the merchants. Then the starry night came and he lost his life.

Liu Zhen found Liu Ye and Zhang Ren and showed Yang Qiu's confession to the two, Liu Ye said: "Does Yang Qiu know where Sima Hui went?" ”

Liu Zhen said: "It's been more than half a year, and Yang Qiu only said that he saw Sima Hui go through the grassland. ”

Liu Ye said: "Yang Qiu said that Sima Hui has recruited 100,000 elite soldiers, whether it is true or not, this matter is not trivial. I want to fly to the emperor to know. ”

Liu Zhen said: "What did Sima Hui do in the grassland? The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and the garrison is controlled by General Gao Ran, so he won't have any problems, right? ”

Liu Ye sneered: "Gao Ran has a straightforward temperament and controls the army of 200,000, of course there will be no problem. I'm afraid there's something wrong with his men. ”

Zhang Ren said: "Whether Feishu Gao reads the general, let him pay attention to his subordinates." ”

Liu Ye said: "General Gao is more than brave, but not enough to change, the missionary Shi Jia Mu is the eldest son of Jia Gong, and he is outstandingly resourceful, so he can fly to him, let him be careful." “

Liu Zhen said: "Good, Uncle Liu will arrange it himself, I will take Tiantian to Shule and his party to see the two younger brothers." ”

Liu Ye wanted to say something, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he swallowed the words back, but Zhang Ren said: "New beautiful woman, are you in a hurry to show off?" ”

Liu Zhen smiled and went.

An inn in Shengle City was chartered by a group of wealthy people, and the guys and bosses of the inn waited cautiously. In the private room on the second floor of the inn, two people were sitting opposite each other, and they didn't speak, like a gourd, it was Shi A and Liu Hu.

After a long time, Liu Hu said: "Sima Hui appeared in Hetao, and when he met Hu Chu Quan, he disappeared without a trace, could it be that Hu Chu Spring hid him?" ”

Shi Ah said, "Never. My men have seen his traces in the labor camp of the steppe, and the time is counted after he appeared in the Hetao for more than a month. ”

Liu Hu said: "This old guy is really not simple, so many eyes are staring, and he can't even look at him." ”

Shi A said: "Sima Hui visited Huchuquan, what instructions does the emperor have?" ”

Liu Hu shook his head, "The emperor asked me to cooperate with you well, and nothing else was said." ”

Shi A said: "Huchuquan supports the soldiers of the Hetao, and it is always a heart disease. The Huns are typical of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, now that the Han Empire is strong, they shrank back to be people, once alas, don't have it again. ”

Liu Hu was about to speak, when footsteps sounded outside the window, and he immediately stopped, Shi A smiled: "You don't need to report that you can come to this room, who is Shejamu?" ”

"Haha, it's Jia." As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked in, clasped his fists at the two and said, "I've seen two leaders. ”

Liu Hu said with a smile: "Speaking of being quick-witted, it's Brother Shi Ah who came." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Luoyang hero, how can you be in vain." ”

Shi Ah smiled and said: "In the history of mission, there must be something important. ”

Jamu said, "Not bad. Liu Ziyang caught Sima Hui's people in the Western Regions and knew some clues. ”

Shi Ah and Liu Hu's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said, "Say it quickly." ”

Jia Mu said: "Speaking of which, it's still the prince's credit, and the process is like this,"

Shi A frowned and said, "This Sima Hui can really blow the atmosphere, 100,000 elite soldiers?" Where did he get the confidence? ”

Jia Mu said: "Sima Hui's fame has moved the whole country, and there are many people who admire him, and there are also generals who rebelled against several troops. ”

Liu Hu said: "I have a Han military system, under the general, set up a missionary lang and a missionary history, if there is no general and missionary two agree, the soldiers and horses cannot move a soldier." Sima Huice rebelled against the general, I am afraid it can only be said that it is half the success. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "It's better than nothing, if you want to start an incident, most of the missionaries are literati, I'm afraid they can't fight the generals with outstanding martial arts." ”

Shi A said: "Lao Jia, don't sell it, talk about important things quickly." ”

Jia Mu said: "I figured out Sima Hui's route. ”

"What? Say it, say it. ”

Jamu said: "Wherever there is a labor intensive, there is a presence of them. ”

Shi A nodded and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of laborers in the Western Regions, and there are even more in the grasslands, but there are no laborers in the Hetao?" ”

Jia Mu said: "I haven't finished talking yet, there is also the garrison of the foreign generals and the Jingxiang generals. ”

Liu Hu said: "According to the history of mission, where will Sima Hui settle down next? ”

Jia Mu said categorically: "Meridian Valley also." ”

Shi Ah said, "Why? ”

Jamu said: "The emperor decreed that the Meridian Valley be renovated into a wide avenue, and a lot of labor was used, which is one of them; Second, who is the general who leads the troops and guards the laborers? ”

Liu Hu said: "Zhang Yun, Lu Jie. ”

"Yes, there is another person who is in charge of specific affairs, and that is the Iraqi Ibji. This person has an excellent personal relationship with Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Sima Hui deliberately went to the Western Regions, then turned north, and the Hetao appeared slightly, and then went to the prairie, and disappeared from then on. He took such a lot of trouble to make you mistakenly think that he was going north, or east, to Jizhou, so that he was led by the nose. He himself shook a shot, turned south, and instigated Yi Yuan, Zhang Yun, and Lu Jie. ”

Shi A said: "In this case, Brother Liu and I immediately went south and waited in the Meridian Valley. ”

Jamu said, "Without further ado, I will send the two of you off soon." The grassland has me and General Gao here, and the custody is safe and sound. ”

Shi A and Liu Hu didn't ink, called a few companions, and Pegasus left. Changing horses all the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and eight days later, he came to Chang'an. Chang'an Jia Xu had already received the news and prepared everything for Shi A and Liu Hu.

When Shi A and Liu Hu saw Jia Xu, facing this white-bearded old fox, they humbly asked for advice, Jia Xu smiled and said: "I have already sent secret agents to infiltrate the Meridian Valley, once Sima Hui is traced, we will do it." Don't show your face, just sit back and wait. ”

Shi A, Liu Hu is overjoyed, Jiang, it's still old and spicy.

No matter how powerful Sima Hui is, after all, he is very old, and after appearing in the grassland labor camp, he immediately put on the appearance of a middle-aged man and came south. Hungry and sleeping along the way, unspeakable hardship, this day came to Chang'an City, found his secret stronghold, rested for a while, and when he came out again, an old man with an ancient appearance and a silver beard was displayed in front of the world.

Sima Hui beat the Dharma drum, sang Taoism all the way, and walked towards the Meridian Valley.

Yi has always been optimistic about Liu Bei, and has supported him a lot openly and secretly, but it is a pity that outside Xiangyang City, the stars have fallen, and a generation of heroes has been buried in barren mountains since then. Yi was sad, he had the idea of seclusion, but he didn't expect Liu Cong to surrender too quickly, Liu Ze employed people, informal, Yi Ji, as a local celebrity, was a high-ranking official of Liu Biao's shogunate, of course, he would not let him be idle. Liu Ze ordered the renovation of the Meridian Valley, Cheng Yu made him the person in charge, Zhang Yun and Lu Jie assisted, of course, the Meridian Valley is so long, it is impossible to have two generals, and Jia Xu also sent more than a dozen captains and partial generals to lead the troops to take care of the laborers.

The Iraqi arrived in Jingzhou from Shanyang County, Yanzhou to attach themselves to Liu Biao, as a fellow countryman, Liu Biao still took good care of him, so in his spare time, it was inevitable for the Iraqi to get acquainted with local celebrities and talk loudly. Sima Hui is one of the people who are often visited by the Yi.

Meridian Valley Mountain is high and dangerous, if you want to build a smooth avenue, how can it be a day's work, it has been several years, but it is only a slight scale, and it is still early to complete.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, he rubbed his sore old waist and came to his relatively luxurious shed, lying on the bed, drowsy. At this time, the guard came to report: "My lord, there is an old man who is visiting. ”

Yi made a fuss, this deep mountain and dense forest, what kind of old man, so interested?
