After the New Year's Day, Liu Ze went to visit Cai Yong again, and told Cai Yong about the Han Emperor Liu Hong's banquet for himself, Cai Yong said: "Although the emperor said it orally, the duty of the county guard is not trivial, and it can only be decided after discussion in the court." New Pen Fun Pavilion. However, the emperor insisted on it, and the minister would not oppose it too much, and the matter was estimated to be a foregone conclusion. Liu Ze said: "Ze has been away from Dongping for a long time, and he wants to return to his hometown to arrange some trivial matters." Cai Yong said with a smile: "Before Shangyuan, the court will not discuss this matter, Rundong should go and come back quickly." ”

Liu Ze took a few people arranged by Shi A and rode back to Dongping on a fast horse.

Rushing to Liujiazhuang, Liu Hu heard the news and hurried over to meet Liu Ze. After more than half a year, Liu Hu's figure appeared more stout, with wrinkles on his face, like a knife and an axe, Liu Ze knew that Liu Hu must have suffered a lot in this more than half a year. When the two brothers saw each other, they couldn't help but hug passionately, Liu Ze smiled and said: "Brother Tiger, you have lost a lot of weight, but you are stronger." Liu Hu smiled: "You are still the same, but the bookish atmosphere is stronger and more mature." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Our brothers have not wasted half a year. Liu Hu said with a smile: "Fortunately, Yu Wen is really a general, and he has nearly a thousand soldiers in the mountains." Taishan Zang Ba Zang Xuangao and Wen Ze have a good relationship, Xuan Gao gathered 2,000 troops in Taishan, and he was talented in serving Wen Ze and intended to form an alliance. Liu Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed, "You and my brother, you can sleep soundly at night." ”

Liu Ze ignored the fatigue of the saddle horse and followed Liu Hu to the deep mountains behind Liujiazhuang, but saw that in the dense forest, the huts were all over, each according to the rules and regulations, and the arrangement was in good order. Although the New Year's Day has passed, many people have not returned, and it seems a little empty. The supplies brought back by the wine transport team were piled up to the brim. Coming to a large thatched hut, Liu Hu shouted; "Wen Ze is available?" Chaimen pushed open, and saw a man walking out, eight feet tall, with a resolute face, and a sword hanging from his waist, Liu Hu smiled: "Wen Ze has wanted to meet Rundong for a long time, and today the sky is beautiful, and Rundong has returned to his hometown." Liu Ze hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Yu Ban's hand and said: "I have heard Wen Ze outstanding martial arts for a long time, and he has a strategic mind. Yu Ban hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I often talk about Rundong talents with Brother Hu, and I have been longing for a long time, and seeing each other today is enough to comfort my life." The three of them entered the house and sat down, and Liu Ze said what he meant: "Today, I intend to remove Ze Liaodong County Guard." Looking at the general trend of the world, the period of disaster is not far away, Ze intends to bring the villagers to Liaodong, but he is afraid that his homeland will be difficult to leave, so he is in a dilemma. Brother Tiger and Wen Ze trained elite soldiers, Ze wants to take away one, as Ze in Liaodong to establish a life, the villagers want to follow, then go, lovers, Ze is very worried. Yu Ban said: "Rundong is very worried, the homeland is difficult to leave, and the normal feelings of people are reluctant. Liu Ze thought for a while and said: "Brother Tiger, I intend to strengthen the wall of Liujiazhuang, dig more tunnels, and when the troubled times come, I will have a little more money to save my life." "At that moment, how to strengthen the wall, how to dig tunnels, how to evacuate the villagers when the war comes, and how to transfer materials. Of course, it refers to the practice of tunnel warfare in later generations. The more Yu Ban Liu Hu listened, the more shocked he became, it was really a good way to defeat the enemy and save his life in troubled times. At the end, he said: "I want to go to Liaodong with Wen Ze, Zang Xuan is at a high place, and Wen Ze bothered to see how to arrange it properly." Brother Hu, don't be stingy with money, discuss with the patriarch Baozheng, just say that you are prepared, the villagers will contribute, and I will contribute," Yu Ban said: "I have a good relationship with Xuangao. Xuan Gao was framed by Shangguan because he was not angry with his father, gathered the rangers, hijacked the prisoner car, saved his father by force, and passed it on as a beautiful talk; Xuangao was afraid of the persecution of Shangguan, so he set up a village in Mount Tai and entangled his subordinates. Xuan Gao Chengwei's husband is also, a martial arts group, skilled in bows and horses, and he implores Rundong to bring Xuan Gao into Liaodong. Liu Ze said with a smile: "If Xuan Gao is interested, Ze can't ask for it." ”

At that moment, Yu Ban rushed to Mount Tai, and Liu Ze and Liu Hu returned to the village. On the way, Liu Ze told Liu Hu again: "Brother Hu, let you stay, it's really helpless, the village is young and strong, and you must practice strictly." If the village cannot be defended, the village can be moved to Liaodong, or the whole village can be moved to the deep mountains, looking for a place with a water source to set up a village to hold the exhibition, as a base area. "Base?" Li Hu asked, "What is a base area?" "From a literal point of view, the root is the root of you and me, and Liujiazhuang is where you and my ancestors lived, and it is the root of you and me; Only when we take root can we live, only when we live, and only when we live can we seek greater development. Liu Hu said with a smile: "Rundong said that the image, I wrote it down." At that moment, Liu Ze said again how the base area can take root and exhibit. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united, so that everyone can twist into a rope and move towards a goal, can we make the base area bigger and stronger. Speaking of which, Liu Ze was obscene, Taizu's theory is not only universal, but it may also be miraculous in the late Han Dynasty.

Back in the village, Liu Ze invited the patriarch Baozheng to a banquet. During the banquet, Liu Ze said: "Liujiazhuang is dilapidated, Ze has earned a sum of money in Luoyang, and if he wants to rebuild the wall, he also asks the two to help." "This is a good thing, where can the patriarch Baozheng excuse himself, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, Rundong does not forget the roots, which is admirable and respectable." "Can you let Brother Tiger renovate for the main one, and the two of you assist?" People take the money, of course, they have the final say, and the patriarch Baozheng said: "That's right." Liu Hu was born as a martial artist and was rich in strategy. After agreeing on this matter, Liu Ze also sighed, after all, he is an authentic Liujiazhuang person, and these people around him are their ancestors, and they can do something for them to protect the safety of one party, and their hearts are more comfortable.

After staying for a few days, and arranging some trivial matters, Yu Ban rushed back from Mount Tai. Liu Ze hurriedly greeted him, and Yu Ban said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." Xuangao intended to lead some of his subordinates to Liaodong with Rundong, but Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other three people were unwilling to leave Mount Tai, and Xuan Gao arranged for them to continue to set up a village in Mount Tai. "I am overjoyed to be able to be accompanied by Xuan Gao, Sun, Wu and others, Brother Hu can support each other."

Seeing that Shangyuan was about to arrive, Liu Ze asked Yu Ban to select people, and informed Zang Ba to get ready, wait for news, and go to Liaodong. He and his entourage rushed back to Luoyang. Liu Hu was forbidden to be sent twenty miles away, and he couldn't bear to be separated. Liu Hu's mood was different from Yu Ban's, after all, Yu Ban met Liu Ze soon after, and when he remembered that he had stayed in the mountain village, he couldn't help but burst into tears. When Liu Ze saw Liu Hu like this, his eyes were full of tears, and he chanted loudly: My husband is not without tears, and he will not spill parting. Fighting the sword against the wine, shame for the wanderer. The pit viper stung his hand, and the strong man relieved his wrist. Thinking about fame. What a sigh of parting. After chanting, he beat his horse and left. Yu Ban Liu Hu stood on the side of the road, looking at it stupidly, savoring the poems recited by Liu Ze, and couldn't help but feel excited.
