Suiping County.

Liu Hongchao tilted his head sideways to appear flatter, looking at the stack of letters on the table.

Letters came from all directions, and all the local tyrants of Runing who participated in the Laba banquet wrote to report the information.

For them, Zhang Xuan is certainly a big man who cannot be offended, but Liu Hongchao is also a ruthless character that cannot be provoked.

The two tigers are hostile, for such a small animal, the best way is to escape from afar, avoid, and leave an incense on both sides, riding the wall is an inevitable choice.

Liu Hongchao didn't care about these things, because what they said was just one thing. It's what happened at the Laba feast. All he cared about was a letter.

Because this letter was written by Zhang Xuan.

Liu Hongchao already knew about the events at the Laba banquet earlier, but he just swept it over and turned to the end: "Liu Erzhi's actions must not be the general's original intention, but if he doesn't do a light punishment, wouldn't it make Runing Xianliang misunderstand the general." Therefore, Xuan is in Runing, General Gonghou is driving, and when the time comes, it will be unfortunate to release the previous suspicions. "

The following inscription: Fengtian advocates the righteous camp Runing Jiedu envoy Guoyi General Zhang Xuan.

"What does Zhang Xuan mean exactly?" Liu Hongqi said with a little annoyance.

Liu Hongqi has always been a tyrant in the area of Runing Mansion, he has always lost the face of others, and no one has lost his face, such as Li Zicheng, Yang Yueshan and other figures, Liu Hongqi is willing to bow his head, of course, the so-called bow, but the envoy is just sending an envoy to express his submission.

Now Zhang Xuan said it politely, but in fact, he still asked him to bow his head and admit his mistake. On the one hand, he was angry at Zhang Xuan's offense to him, and he was also angry at what his second brother had done, and he felt that the second brother had never encountered a mistake after walking outside for many years. But the second brother is the second brother after all, and he is his own person. His anger came at Zhang Xuan.

"Big brother, no matter what Zhang Xuan means. The second brother can't help but save it. Liu Hongjun said.

"Yes, the second brother can't help it." Liu Hongli and others said one after another.

Liu Hong started his family by selling smuggled salt and raising thugs. Therefore, Liu Hongqi couldn't and didn't want to embarrass Zhu Liu, and said: "The second child will definitely be saved, but how to save it, let me bow my head to Zhang Xuan and admit my mistake?"

"Naturally not!" Liu Hongli said loudly: "Zhang Xuan doesn't know how powerful my Liu family is. Zhang Xuan has King Chuang behind him, and he can't kill him directly. However, I can bring 10,000 or 20,000 horses to surround Runing City and let him know how powerful my Liu family is. He didn't dare to hold on to the second brother. "

"Yes." Zhu Liu agreed. For a while, Liu Hongchao was also a little moved.

However, Liu Hongchao did not make an easy decision, after so many years of fighting in the rivers and lakes, there is still some caution that should be there.

"Liangmo, tell me." Liu Hong raised his eyes and looked at Wang Liangmo.

Wang Liangmo, as the only person with a foreign surname in Liu Hongqi's forces, even if his wife's surname is Liu, it is not for nothing that he can mix into this position, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhang Xuan is probably not easy to deal with, I have inquired about Zhang Xuan's record, although he is Cao Cao's son-in-law, but he has also fought some tough battles, not to mention that Hu Dawei died in the hands of Zhang Xuan, once he moves the army, I am afraid he will not be able to be good." It couldn't scare him. "

"What do you mean, surnamed Wang?" Liu Hongli said: "It's hard to let the eldest brother bow his head with the surname Zhang."

Wang Liangmo's face was slightly pale, his nails were clenched, he was not surnamed Liu, in this Liu family-dominated force, it was his eternal original sin, and it was also his eternal ceiling.

"That's not what I meant." Wang Liangmo said: "Once the troops are dispatched, don't think about reconciliation, but if you start to do it, the second brother may have something unbearable."

"Crow's beak." I don't know who said a word, in the main hall that suddenly quieted down, it was extremely harsh.

"I know what Liang Mo means." Liu Hongqi didn't seem to hear those three words, and said after a while: "It's not easy for my Liu family to have today's situation, which includes my hard work and everyone's hard work. Of course, there is also the hard work of the second brother. If the hard work of my Liu family is wasted for the sake of the second brother, even if it is the second brother, I am afraid he will not be willing. "

"So," Liu Hongqi's gaze swept over everyone and said, "My Liu family's foundation is the first, and the second brother's life is the second."

Everyone refused to look at Liu Hongqi, everyone was an understanding person, and naturally knew that the second place and giving up were almost words of agreement.

"Hmph" A sneer reached Liu Hongqi's ears, and he turned his eyes to see that the person who spoke was none other than Sang Kai.

"But I don't know what Master Sang's opinion is?" Liu Hongqi asked.

For Sang Kai, Liu Hongqi just offered up, and Sang Kai was eligible to participate in all meetings of the Liu family. But Sang Kai also seems to be self-aware and always doesn't say a word. Today's sudden opening made Liu Hongqi very interested.

"I'm laughing, someone is dying without knowing it." Sang Kai sneered.

Liu Hongqi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still maintained his demeanor and said, "How can you say this?"

"Who is Zhang Xuan, you don't know, but I have dealt with him, Zhang Xuan is definitely not an unwise person, he will fight with Liu Erye for his drunken gaffe? Isn't it that Zhang Xuan wanted to deal with the Liu family and grabbed Liu Erye's sore feet? Sang Kai sneered.

As soon as Sang Kai's words fell, Zhu Liu was in a commotion.

Liu Hongqi was shocked in his heart, and the fog in front of him was suddenly removed, he can have today in the troubled times, but he has this sensitivity. But he still asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"The Liu family is half Runing, he is in the body

How to sleep peacefully for Runing? The puff is not guilty of his crimes. Sang Kai said.

"What should I do?" Liu Hongqi asked.

"Lord Liu should raise the banner of righteousness again, contact Ma Fengying, the governor of Fengyang, retreat to the mountain of Zha Cha, stick to the help, where the thieves pass, all the lives are ruined, and the people with lofty ideals are all outrageous, waiting for the court to revitalize the rivers and mountains, Lord Liu will not regret the reward of the marquis."

Liu Hongchao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I know what Master Sang means, come and send Master Sang back." ”

Sang Kai didn't say anything, got up and left, returned to his room, and as soon as the watchman left, he immediately beckoned to his entourage and said, "Quickly pack up your things." ”

"Your Excellency." The attendant said; "It's very closely monitored outside, and we can't leave."

"It's okay," Sang Kai sneered and said: "Liu Hongqi will soon have a fiasco, he looks at the sky from the bottom of the well, and only thinks that he counts tens of thousands of heads, and he is the first hegemon in the Central Plains, but he doesn't know what the real elite of the world looks like." ”

At this moment, in the hall, Liu Hongchao also made a decision.

"Big brother," Liu Hongli said, "Since we know that Zhang Xuan is interested in my family, are we still being led by his neck?" ”

Liu Hongqi no longer had the steady look he had just now, he paced slowly, and said: "Sang Kai really stayed in Kaifeng City, his vision is different, I didn't find out before, Zhang Xuan has ulterior motives. However, after I scrutinized it carefully, Zhang Xuan only had a big battle with Hu Dawei more than a month ago. At that time, he only had 5,000 people, and now he has 10,000 people, and he is now stepping up his training, but a month ago, how could he train the elite soldiers to come out, I invited him to attack more than 10,000 new soldiers with 20,000 people, and this moment is the time when we have the greatest chance of winning. Otherwise, after a long time, after Zhang Xuan's military training is completed, it will be difficult to say the number of victories and defeats, what Sang Kai said is all for the court, not for my Liu family. The reinforcements from Kaifeng City have not yet arrived, let alone our cottage? Even if as he said, trapped in the mountains and the places outside the mountains are all obtained by Zhang Xuan, how many people in Runing still obey my Liu family and Liu Hongqi, and are you willing? Are you willing to throw all the gains of my Liu family's years of struggle to Zhang Xuan? ”

"Unwilling." Zhu Liu was unwilling.

Linglong cottage, although it is Liu Hongqi's old nest. These people have been in it, but the memories left for them are definitely not too friendly.

The mountains are bitter, and they will continue to be so in the afterlife. At the beginning, they were poor and white, and they could still endure this hardship, but now after the brocade clothes and jade food, it is absolutely impossible for them to suffer this hardship.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Whether it is Liu Hongqi or below, it is difficult to give up good money. is still full of confidence in his 20,000 people. Anyway, Liu Hongqi replied to Zhang Xuan's letter strongly, and recruited troops on a large scale, and Xiping, Suiping, and other counties were shaken.

The breeze blew through half of Runing Mansion until it reached the middle of Runing City.
