Mid-autumn came in a blink of an eye, during this time, Liu Ze, with the help of Liu Hu, hired many carpenters, transformed a cart, a cart can hold more than 100 jars of wine, and the young and middle-aged people in the village came to help under Liu Ze's high salary. Liu Ze instructed Liu Hu to organize these people to practice martial arts and assassination.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Ze saw that Liu He's winery had brewed more than 1,000 jars of wine, Liu Ze pondered, and said to Liu Hu: "Brother Tiger, I think that Liu Yang is shrewd and capable, and the third Liu Bin is also a smart and clever person, what I mean, the wine sent to Dongping Country will be sent to Liu Yang to be responsible, and the profits will allow Liu Yang to buy grain, fine iron, and horses." In the middle of nowhere, in a secluded part of the village, we set up a big house to store it, what do you think? Liu Hu said: "Although Liu Yang is shrewd, he has a disadvantage, that is, he is a little greedy, Liu Bin is indeed sincere, I think it is better to let Liu Bin be responsible for delivering wine; Let Liu Yang do the work of building the house, although he is greedy, the construction period of the house is short, and it can be completed in less than two months. Liu Ze nodded and said, "Okay." Liu Hu asked suspiciously: "Rundong, what is the use of you buying grain, refined iron, and horses?" It's okay if the amount of refined iron is small, but if the amount is large, the government will investigate it. Liu Ze thought about it, should he tell Liu Hu that the troubled times are coming, after the Yellow Turban Incident, Dongping Kingdom is the hardest hit area, and the million Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army surrendered by Cao Cao's big boss was reorganized in Dongping. If you don't tell him, Liu Hu always has a question in his heart, which is not conducive to doing things in the future. Liu Ze took Liu Hu's hand, sat down indoors, and said to Liu Hu: "Brother Hu, you and my brother are not outsiders, what do you think of the world's affairs?" Liu Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "The Han family has no way, favors the eunuchs, and reuses the ten permanent servants; The dictatorship of foreign relatives exploits the people; The family first values its own interests, occupies the land, and the fertile land and beautiful river belong to it. In order to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, yeoman farmers attached themselves to their families and became tenant farmers. The wealth of the world is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the people are miserable. The country does not know how to sympathize with the people's strength, blindly uses troops abroad, and military service and conscription come one after another, and the stability of this world is only temporary. Liu Ze said: "When Ze returned home, along the way, the people did not have enough food, no clothes, and worked all day, what did they get?" Taiping Dao has been spread for a long time, won the hearts of the people, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao with the art of war, the whole country believers are divided into 36 parties, each party set up a commander. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, we can only take precautions, in troubled times, food is the foundation of life, and armor is the capital of self-protection. Ze just tried his best to accumulate materials before the arrival of troubled times, so that the people of Liujiazhuang could have a little more chance to live. Liu Hu was suddenly moved and said: "Rundong is thinking about the long term, and he can't do it for his brother, so he is looking forward to Rundong, but he has a life, and he will do his best to help." ”

Or Taizu said it well, the work is not in place, and the ideological work is not done correctly. After Liu Hu talked to Liu Ze, his mind was put down, and his motivation immediately increased. Let Liu Bin lead the team, every ten days, send wine to Dongping Guocheng, and the purchased materials are temporarily stored in the righteous house where Liu Ze lives. Liu Ze invited the village chief, the patriarch and several leading figures to have a beautiful drink together, and each of them gave two more altars. The address of Liu Ze's new home was quickly determined, in the northwest remote place of the village, a full three acres of land was demarcated, Liu Ze did not hesitate to work, the courtyard wall is high and thick, the water outside the wall is diverted into a canal, and the house is practical and solid. Liu Ze asked Liu Yang to be responsible for the specific construction, and repeatedly warned Liu Yang that he must build according to the plan he had planned, and Liu Yang agreed one by one.

Liuhe's winery is at full capacity, and it can make 100 jars of wine every day. Liu Ze considered that the market in Dongping Guocheng was limited after all, so he asked Liu Bin to lead a team to sell wine to the surrounding counties. Dongping has seven counties under its jurisdiction, namely: Wuyan, Shouzhang, Xuchang, Fucheng, Zhangxian, Dongyulu and Ningyang. Liu Bin's candidate is still good, every time he goes to a place, hundreds of jars of wine are sold smoothly, and the things he buys are all done according to Liu Ze and Liu Hu's instructions, and the fine iron is scattered and secretly placed on the car. Liu Ze looked at more and more materials, and his confidence slowly became full, everything was going on in an orderly manner, should he go to Luoyang City to see, Liu Hu couldn't go, everything at home had to be taken care of by him, and he was familiar with the people in the village, Liu Ze had a few candidates in his heart. Liu Ze found Liu Hu and discussed with Liu Hu about going to Luoyang. Liu Hu unconditionally supported everything he did to Liu Ze, and in terms of candidates, Liu Hu still had a lot of say in the selection of people, and recommended several people to Liu Ze. Liu Ze told Liu Hu that after the construction of the house was completed, the materials should be moved to the new house, and reliable personnel should be found to avoid leaking important materials such as fine iron. At the same time, let Liu Hu not be stingy with money, secretly build weapons, and train people. Liu Ze remembered Yu Ban, one of Boss Cao's five good generals, it seems that he is a native of Juping, Taishan County, and seems to be very close to Dongping, if he can pull Yu Ban over, hehe, Yu Ban is a good hand at training soldiers and fighting, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, start in advance and take the lead, it feels good. Liu Ze then asked Liu Hu: "Brother Hu, there is a person named Yu Ban in Juping, Taishan County, I have heard that his martial arts are extraordinary, and he knows a lot about military affairs, has Brother Hu ever heard of it?" Liu Hu said: "I have heard a little. Liu Ze said with a smile: "Brother Tiger has worked hard, with a heavy gift, to see if you can invite Yu Ban here, this person has outstanding training ability, we can borrow his strength to train strong soldiers." Liu Hu responded: "Okay, I'll go in person." Liu Ze saw Liu Hu's face, slightly unhappy, knowing what Liu Hu was thinking, he said with a smile: "Brother Hu, I wait for the troubled times to save my life, what is the most important?" Talent! What can we do with you, me, and the people in the village? Only by sticking to one pattern and recruiting talents can we grow and develop, and we can have more grasp of life-saving. In the future, in the event of a war, we will rely on military generals to charge and fight, and we will rely on intelligent people to strategize, so as long as we have a skill, we must make use of it. Liu Hu was ashamed in his heart, just now he was slandered in his heart, if he invited Yu Ban to come, where should he be, but he didn't expect Liu Ze to see this and wake himself up. Liu Hu said loudly: "The tiger will not fail in its mission. ”

A few days later, Liu Ze took more than 20 people and drove more than a dozen carts to Dongjun, pass through Jiyin, go to Dingtao, run to Chenliu, and go all the way to Luoyang. When they came to Dongjun on this day, it was getting late, and the group arranged their accommodation, and Liu Ze and a few people went to the street together.

Dongjun is now near Puyang, densely populated, is a large county of Yanzhou, under the jurisdiction of fifteen counties, the county seat is built strong and tall. Liu Ze and a few people turned a few streets, and were about to return to the inn, when there was a sudden sound of killing in front, and when they approached, they saw a group of people fighting with swords. The good deeds around him watched from afar, and did not dare to come near. Liu Ze quietly walked to the side of an old man and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, who is so bold and kills on the street?" The old man glanced at Liu Ze, saw that Liu Ze's clothes were quite neat, and said in a low voice: "Little brother is from a foreign country, right?" Don't know about the rangers? Liu Ze hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke came from Dongping Kingdom, and he just arrived. The old man said with an expression on his face that I knew you were an outsider who had just arrived: "The ranger calls for friends, disagrees with each other, draws his sword and fights bravely." Outsiders like you must not provoke them, offend them, and never die. Liu Zexin said, it's just the little hooligans on the street, who have seen a lot of group fights, but they have just turned swords into sticks and daggers. Liu Ze thanked the man, stopped talking, and watched intently. I saw one of them, who was not tall, but he was brave and abnormal, and he could be said to be invincible. The two gangs were fighting, their clothes were disheveled, and they couldn't tell who was in the same group. When I looked again after a while, I saw that the man and his five companions were surrounded by more than 20 people, and then it was clear that there were many people and there were few bullies. Although the short man was surrounded, he did not panic, and beckoned the people around him to move closer to him, and the six of them formed a circle back to back, with their swords pointing outward. The short man was bloody, I don't know if it was his or someone else's, and his eyes were shining, like a leopard that chooses to devour people. There were more than 20 people around, and a tall man seemed to be the leader, holding a long sword, pointing at the short man and shouting: "Le Wenqian, you thief, fell into my hands today, and you regret coming to this world." The short man laughed and said: "Cheng Yuan, you bastard, you only know how to bully the soft and fear the hard, bully men and women, for the evil township, there are many people today, and I am not afraid of you." "Shenma? Le Jin Le Wenqian, Liu Zedeng's eyes lit up.

Although Cheng Yuan was tall, he seemed to be very afraid of Le Jin, waving the long sword, and asked a few of his subordinates to attack Le Jin, the hands of those people holding the sword couldn't help shaking, and slowly approached Le Jin, Le Jin shouted, jumped out suddenly, the long knife swung out, and the sword in the hands of several people was shot down, so frightened that he turned around and ran, Cheng Yuan was furious and scolded: "Give me all the useless things, and kill the people around him first." Le Jin suddenly exerted his strength at this time, bullied Cheng Yuan's side, raised his knife and slashed at Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan was shocked, hurriedly raised his sword to block, and with a bang, Cheng Yuan was knocked back three steps. Cheng Yuan's subordinates saw that their master was attacked, and they messed up together, and they were not afraid at all. At this moment, a gong sounded in the street, accompanied by shouts: "Curfew!" Pedestrians go home! Travel to the Ann Inn! But the people who were fighting turned a deaf ear, and the excitement around them slowly dispersed. The sound of the gong drew nearer, and a procession of night guard officers approached, and the brawlers were a little flustered. Le Jin shouted loudly to his people: "Hurry up and get out of the way!" Lejin fended off the attacks of a dozen people and covered their retreat. Cheng Yuan saw that the night patrol was coming, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, Cheng Yuan shouted loudly: "Xing thief Cao, come and catch the Lejin thief." Liu Ze thought to himself that Cheng Yuan was at the level of the Yanai, and he had a fight with "My dad is Li Gang". Le Jin saw that his people had withdrawn from the battle group, the big knife in his hand suddenly exerted force, turned around, forced a few people back, turned around and ran, Cheng Yuan saw clearly on the side, I don't know when he took a big wooden stick in his hand, and hit Le Jin hard, when Le Jin hurriedly dodged, the wooden stick hit Le Jin's leg, only to hear a crisp bone cracking sound, Le Jin fell to the ground.
