Liu Ze was neither humble nor arrogant, looked at Huo Jun and said, "The general said he was joking, right?" Shi Ah saw that his identity was revealed, and he was about to break the rope on his body, but who expected Huo Jun to come to Liu Ze's side and untie the rope. Huo Jun clenched his fists and said: "Liu Jizhou broke out of Luoyang City, it is known from far and near, and Jun's responsibilities have already been understood. Come on, untie the ropes for all. Liu Ze's thinking changed sharply, it has been more than half a month since he left Luoyang at night, this general is stationed in Luyang, bordering Liang County, if he doesn't know the situation, it is a serious dereliction of duty. Liu Ze asked, "I don't know the general's surname?" "In Xiazhijiang, Huo Jun, Huo Zhongmiao is also." Huo Jun, I remember that he was Liu Da'er's general, the most famous battle seems to be to defend Jiameng Pass with hundreds of people, facing more than 10,000 enemies, holding on for more than a year, and then surprisingly breaking the enemy army, talent, absolute talent. Liu Ze said: "Since he was recognized by the general, it is Liu Ze below. Huo Jun said: "Liu Jizhou is the savior in danger, helping the emperor and stabilizing Luoyang, such a great achievement, unexpectedly Yuan Shao is shameless, secretly harmful, fortunately with the help of Jiren, he came to Luyang." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Yuan's original ambition has been revealed, I am afraid that I want to do things that are not subordinate, there are Ze in Japan, there are many taboos, if Ze dies, the Han family will be ruined." Huo Jun said: "My lord Liu Jingzhou and Yizhou Liu Zhang are here, and Yuan Shao is a thief?" Liu Ze smiled and said no more.

Huo Jun saw that Liu Ze was no longer talking, and hurriedly arranged a better place for more than 90 of them to rest. Huo Jun sat in his mansion, thinking back to Liu Ze's words, why did he mention Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, and didn't say more, could it be that with the strength of Jingzhou and Yizhou, it was not enough to deter Yuan Shao? Yuzhou Liu Bei is also the queen of the Han Dynasty, with an army of more than 100,000, and it is also a force to be reckoned with? Why didn't Liu Jizhou mention it? When Huo Jun was in Zhijiang, he and his eldest brother gathered volunteers to assist Liu Biao to pacify Jingzhou, and after the eldest brother died of illness, Huo Jun commanded this army, and Huo Jun was appointed by Liu Biao as a general to guard Luyang. Under the governance of Liu Jingzhou, Jingzhou is prosperous, with more than 200,000 soldiers, and there are many talents under his command. Huo Jun's mind was full of questions, and he couldn't think of why.

Jia Xu didn't have any information about Liu Ze for a few days, and his heart sank, could it be that something happened to the lord? The scout reported that Yuan's army was on the border, as if facing a great enemy. Jia Xu couldn't get the exact situation, so he had to send countless scouts to infiltrate Luoyang at any cost, while he sat in Hangu and waited for news.

Liu Ze rested all night, his spirits were greatly lifted, and the fatigue of the days was gone. Liu Ze was thinking about his actions, Shi Ah came to report Huo Jun's visit, and sat behind the table in the guest house, Huo Jun saw that Liu Ze was full of energy after washing, and his spirit was flying, and he couldn't help but say: "Liu Jizhou rested overnight and regained his spirit." Liu Ze said: "I took care of Zhong Miao, ran around for half a month, and only had to sleep soundly last night." Huo Jun said: "Jun has a lot of doubts in his heart, so he came to ask Liu Jizhou for advice. Liu Ze laughed and said, "Zhong Miao doubts what I said yesterday? Huo Jun said: "Exactly." "Hehe, Liu Jingzhou has seven counties, more than 200,000 soldiers, more than enough to defend, and not enough to enterprising," Seeing that Huo Jun wanted to refute, Liu Ze signaled Huo Jun with his eyes not to be impatient, and continued: "Jiangdong Sun Ce is bigger, and Liu Jingzhou has nothing to say; Jiaozhou Shixie, known as the wilderness; Our emperor has been covered with dust repeatedly, and Liu Jingzhou has sent envoys to pay tribute, but can he do anything practical? Huo Jun recalled Liu Biao's actions, and sure enough, there were empty soldiers, but they sat and watched others do great development, but they did not interfere. What about Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Liu Bei in Yuzhou? Zhong Miao thought so deeply, Ze admired it. Yuzhou Liu Bei, Xiaoxiong, only hate the shallow foundation, Yuzhou is surrounded by enemies, if Liu Bei is unhappy, he will inevitably go south to Jingzhou, Liu Jingzhou is difficult to defend. Yizhou Liu Zhang inherited his father Liu Yan's foundation, but he was weak and incompetent, and he had a strong army, which was definitely desirable. When Huo Jun heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he said: "Liu Jizhou has a vision of thousands of miles, insight into world affairs, and Jun admires it a lot. Liu Ze said with a smile: "Zhong Miao is talented, sit and watch Jingzhou's success or failure?" Huo Jun said: "It's a pity that Jun's status is humble, and he can't speak to Liu Jingzhou." Liu Ze wasted no time in handing over an olive branch, so he said: "With Zhong Miao's talent, when you arrive in Jizhou, you will definitely be able to spread your wings and soar." Huo Jun was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Rong Jun thinks twice." ”

Xu You came to see Yuan Shao, and was kicked to the ground by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao pointed at Xu You's nose and roared: "Xu You Xu Ziyuan, Liu Rundong has not been obtained so far, and he will inevitably run away, how can I gain a foothold in front of the world?" Xu You rubbed his sternum, hurriedly crawled to Yuan Shao on his knees, hugged Yuan Shao's thighs, cried bitterly and said: "Don't worry about Ming Gong, according to General Yuan Long's report, Liu Rundong escaped into Huoyang Mountain, thinking that Huoyang Mountain, the mountains are high and dense, wild things are rampant, and Liu Rundong will inevitably die in the mountains." Yuan Shao's anger is not stopped, think about it, Huoyang Mountain is dangerous, poisonous beasts are infested, it is difficult to get out of the mountain just by relying on Liu Rundong's hundreds of people, but what if, with Yuan Shao's strength, how can he withstand Liu Rundong's anger? Yuan Shao pointed at Xu You and said: "Ziyuan, Ziyuan, Liu Rundong has made great contributions to the country, the emperor will ask in the early days, Cao Mengde came to the mansion and made noise, how can he answer it in the long run?" Xu You wiped his tears and said: "Ming Gong, now that Liu Rundong's life and death are unknown, Jizhou has no owner, and it will inevitably be chaotic, why not send troops to Jizhou and cut off Liu Rundong's back road?" "Yuan Shao was so angry in his heart, the emperor was in Luoyang for more than a month, and he had not yet fully controlled the government.

Lu Bu was beaten by Boss Cao in Yanzhou, and led 30,000 horses to Yuzhou and defected to Liu Bei. Liu Bei went out of the county to greet and came to the state pastor's mansion, Liu Bei took out the big seal of Yuzhou and handed it to Lu Bu, Lu Bu was secretly happy in his heart, and he was about to stretch out his hand, Liu Bei was furious behind him, and he was about to fight, Lu Bu replied in shame and withdrew his half-stretched hands and said: "Lu Bu is embarrassed to vote, thanks to Xuande not giving up, why let Yuzhou let him?" Liu Bei said in his heart, grandma drop, Lao Tzu wants you to serve under me, who knows that you really have the heart to take my big seal, it seems that you have to be careful to watch out for this white-eyed wolf, and said in his mouth: "Prepare to live in Yuzhou, no virtue and no hope, serve as a famous general of the ancestors, the world is famous, and you should be the position of the state pastor." Lu Bu said: "Thousands of miles to invest, get a foothold, and be grateful." Liu Bei was waiting for this, so he said: "Peiguo Xiao County, densely populated, Feng Xian can live temporarily." ”

Lu Bu walked sullenly on the way to Xiao County, and Chen Gong said: "Liu Xuande's intention is to let the lord be the leader of Liu Jizhou." Lu Bu said: "Xiao County and Pengcheng are close to each other, how can Liu Xuande not know this intention." Chen Gong said: "With the courage of the lord, the heroes of the world are flocking to it, why not raise the flag in Xiao County to recruit troops and wait for the opportunity." Lu Bu was overjoyed, recruited rebels along the road, and arrived in Xiao County, with the help of Chen Gong, to deal with political affairs, raise the banner, and gradually people came to vote.

Liu Ze rested in Luyang for two days and said goodbye to Huo Jun, Huo Jun saw that Liu Ze wanted to leave, and he was reluctant, Liu Ze said: "Zhong Miao is hesitant about what he said the day before yesterday? Huo Jun said: "Liu Jingzhou treats Jun well, and he can't bear to abandon it. Liu Ze said with a smile: "The coming day is long, and there is a time to meet." Huo Jun was very interesting, sent a number of silver taels and horses, and also issued customs clearance documents, saving trouble along the way.

Jia Xu's hair turned gray in a hurry, and he finally got the news from Liu Ze that Yuan Shao tried in vain to kill the lord, but Liu Ze escaped from Luoyang City and entered Huoyang Mountain, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Facing the map, Jia Xu pondered hard, where is the main guild going? In the southwest of Hongnong County and in the northwest of Nanyang County, there are Bear's Ear Mountain and Funiu Mountain, and the mountains are continuous within a radius of four or five hundred miles, and the road is difficult to travel. After turning over Huoyang Mountain is Nanyang Luyang County, Liu Jingzhou and the lord are both noble Han families, as long as they enter the boundary of Jingzhou, they will not dare to treat the lord wrongly, then, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he thought about it along this line of thought, Jia Xu's finger pointed at Jingzhao Yin Shang County, and immediately ordered someone to call Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, and asked Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to lead 10,000 horses to find along the periphery of Bear's Ear Mountain and Funiu Mountain, and he and Huang Zhong led 20,000 fine horsemen to Shang County.

Liu Ze and his entourage went from Luyang to Zhiwan City, Nanyang County, stopped for a while, galloped along the official road, arrived at Xi County, rested for one night, replenished supplies, and galloped towards Shang County.

It was almost evening, and Shangxian County was in sight, Liu Ze was overjoyed, and he kept whipping the war horse under his crotch, and suddenly, a group of people and horses blocked the way.

Liu Ze, Shi A and the others were all shocked, and were about to turn the horse's head, when a loud voice came from the front, "Who is coming?" This voice is too familiar, it was Huang Zhong who made it, Liu Ze was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Could it be that Huang Han is rising?" The person who came said, "It's Huang Zhong." Getting closer, Jia Xu and Huang Zhong turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the side of the road. Liu Ze hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped the two of them, and saw the two old men, Jia Xu was full of white hair, Huang Zhong was full of tears, his heart was excited, and tears flowed out, Jia Xu said in a trembling voice: "Ming Gong is missing, the three armies are panicked, and people are in a hurry." Liu Ze said: "I don't mean that Yuan Benchu had such a secret evil intention, if there is no Shi A and others who sacrifice their lives to fight, you and I can't wait to see it." Looking at Jia Xu's hair, he saw Huang Zhong's face wrinkled, and stammered: "Why is Mr. Wenhe full of white hair?" General Hansheng is wrinkled? After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood, took the hands of the two and said: "Yuan Benchu harmed the two of them so old, and he vowed to repay them." ”

When he came to Shang County, Liu Ze said: "Mr. Wenhe, I mean that Mr. Wen is sitting in Chang'an and operates the five western counties; Zilong sits in Jinyang, and after a slight merger of states, Mr. Yao instructed the strategy. The two places are stable, the soldiers are strong, and the troops are secluded, and I vent the anger in my heart. Jia Xu said: "Good." However, Liangzhou Han Sui, Ma Teng, traffic Qiang people, is not a small disaster, why stop? Liu Ze said: "Take Youji first, and then take Liangzhou." Jia Xu nodded, and said in his heart that this lord is becoming more and more domineering, it seems that going through this ordeal is not a bad thing, at least it has aroused the monstrous anger in his heart.
