Liu He ordered Xu Rong and Huang Zhong to lead their troops to camp outside the city first, and after the two of them finished explaining their subordinate adjutants, they met in Taishou Mansion. Under the leadership of Liu Bei, Liu Xiu, Zhang Fei and other natives, he walked on the main road of Zhuocheng, which was straight and magnificent, enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages in parallel. Passers-by walk on both sides, and cars gallop through the center. The roadside ditch stone barrier, the outside of the ditch is forced to the side. The high-rise building faces the street, and the cyan wine flag is raised high, sometimes some people go in together, and sometimes some people shake out drunk. Among the pedestrians, there is no shortage of high-crowned scholars; Riding on the galloping car, many nobles in gorgeous clothes.

Zhang Fei said: "Taishou Mansion is in the north of the city, and there is still a distance from here. This way has come for dozens of miles, everyone is tired, and then I will work hard, visit Taishou early, and go to my manor to rest. ”

As he walked, Liu He found that the street was compacted like hard soil, and the road surface was paved with river pebbles, and the horses' hooves stepped on it and rattled.

The guard Ah Ren was speechless: "Such a big city, such a wide road, how many river pebbles do you have to use!" ”

Ah Xia has never been far away, and he has little knowledge, so he is also envious: "Isn't it?" Where did you get so many river pebbles? ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Have you forgotten the name of this county? ”

Ah Ren suddenly said: "Oh! It turned out to be from Zhuoshui. ”

Zhuoshui is now the Juma River in Zhuozhou City.

Liu He turned around and greeted, "Let's get off the horse, everyone!" There are river pebbles on the ground, and horses' hooves are bumping. There are a lot of pedestrians, so don't fall or touch people. ”

Liu He suddenly thought inexplicably - there were no horseshoes, bilateral stirrups, and Takahashi saddles in this era.

The streets were bustling, and from time to time cars and cyclists passed by them. The cars are mostly chariots, luxuriously decorated, and there are shelters outside, and the people who are not inside, occasionally the fragrance of women wafts out of them, and every time at this time, Liu He's team of guards will not bear to look at them twice.

When I saw the pavilion in the Taishou Mansion, I was greeted by more than ten horsemen galloping.

There are many people on the road, and if Liu He and the others move forward again, they will collide with each other. Liu He urgently ordered everyone to stop at the horse and avoid the left.

The leading knight was well-dressed and high-spirited, and the riders who followed him looked like slaves, but they were all standard leather armor, and their waists boasted of their swords, which must be unusual people. They drove their horses down the road and galloped straight, and the pedestrians in the streets, whether they were on foot, all retreated, and did not dare to complain, for they must be either rich or noble.

When he got closer, Liu He saw the leading knight clearly: his body was 1.75 meters tall, and his appearance was dignified. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. Wearing a collared green soapy robe, wearing black oil and gold armor, riding a yellow fat horse, holding a green dragon halberd, he was looking at Liu He.

The knight dismounted, pointed to Liu He's general flag, and said, "But Liu Bu Sima, Liu and Liu Shunzhi?" ”

"Exactly! Dare to ask Your Excellency? Liu He returned the salute.

"Zhuoxian County Lieutenant Zou Jing, cursive Sui'an." Zou Jing pointed to the fingerprint ribbon.

The waist wears a copper seal yellow ribbon, and the yellow ribbon is worn by officials below 400 stone and above 200 stone. Liu and other Sima rank than a thousand stones, copper seal black ribbon.

"It turned out to be the county lieutenant of Zou."

"Some time ago, the county received an urgent message, saying that Jun Chi came to Lu Long's aid, and the new assassin Shi ordered the county to recruit troops to help Sima. Today, I greeted him at the county boundary, but I found that there were thieves in the jurisdiction, and I went to chase them, and I forgot about them, and I asked for it! Zou Jing took a deep look.

"It doesn't matter! Business matters. Liu He also returned the favor with deep affection.

The courtyard of Taishou Mansion is a deep house, and the carved walls of Junyu are very spacious and gorgeously decorated.

Liu He left Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and others on the side of the road, and walked forward with Zou Jing. Outside the gate of the house, there is a halberd guard, there is a side school by the door, and there is a book on duty in the school. Zou Jing went in, reported his name, and took out the removal and dispatch letters. After he finished registering, he hurriedly got up from the table, invited him to take a seat, served soup, and said with a smile: "Please wait, I will go to the house to report." ”

Liu He was bored in the school, Zou Jing met for the first time, and he didn't talk much, so he could only silently watch the pedestrians on the road. The twilight is getting darker and the pedestrians are decreasing. Smoke curls from the nearby alley. The evening breeze blows on the face, and it is intoxicating. In the middle of the day, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. He didn't pay attention, he was startled, subconsciously pressed the knife to dodge, turned his head, and indeed Zou Jing: "Liu Jun is distracted?" I call you and me in. ”

"Gaffe!" Liu He was sick.

The leading scholar in front of him: "The prince of the palace called me to greet you!" You follow me. Ministry Sima, county lieutenant please. ”

The back house of the Taishou Inner Mansion is very large, the white wall Zhu Hu, from the outside of the wall you can reach the green bricks and tiles in the house, the eaves are warped, and there are luxuriant trees, verdant and upright green bamboo are also higher than the wall. There were also a few halberd-wielding guards outside the door, they all knew Zou Jing, saluted respectfully, and let Liu and the two in. Outside the wall, only to see the eaves roof tiles, into the house, only to see the house points in, each into the moon gate separated, along the corridor to the inside, along the way the layers of the pavilion, the water pavilion, the trees are shady, the purple and red. The whole Taishou Mansion is fragrant and fragrant.

Liu He also stayed in Luoyang, and compared with the Tai Shou House, it was not worth mentioning. There were many slaves and maidservants in the house, and after two courtyards, I saw seven or eight slaves.

Zou Jing introduced: "Wen Taishou is a giant surname in Taiyuan, a nobleman from Wangmen, and most of these slaves and maids were brought by Duke Wen from home. ”

Liu He smiled and said, "Only a family like Gong Wen can afford to raise these beautiful slaves." ”

Then go into the backyard.

Although it was not yet night, the hall was lit with candles, and the hall was as bright as day. Shuzuo told them to sit down first, and went to inform Wen Taishou. Not long after, Wen Taishou arrived, dressed in an official robe, with a high crown and a big wear, a silver seal and a green ribbon, and his feet were wearing cloth shoes, full of majesty.

Liu He and Zou Jing went to the door of the hall to worship.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Wen Taishou took off his shoes and went to the hall, helped Liu He up, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "The wind and dust are servant, and it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit." He asked, "How is Ling Zun?" ”

"Back to the Ming Mansion, my father is all right, and he arrived in Youzhou before winter. This is a letter from my father to the Ming government. Liu He handed the letter to Taishou.

"Youzhou border troubles, people suffering. After receiving Ling Zun's urgent text, I raised my neck and raised my heels to arrive early. ”

Liu Hecheng said with trepidation: "And panic! And De Bo can be fresh, how can He De actually look at Lao Ming Mansion? The Ming Mansion did not think that he was young, and sent Zou Jun to greet him, which has made him flattered. Don't hide it from the Ming Mansion, from the time of worshipping the seal ribbon to the present, I haven't slept a night along the way. ”

Wen Taishou said with a smile: "Qing has ambitions for the border pass, and if he wants to build the merit of defending Huo, he is really the pillar of my Han family." ”

"He is thin and talented, and short-sighted. With the ability of harmony, he can do the things of Sima, and he is not competent. If the father of the family pays peace with a heavy responsibility, and is deeply afraid that he will be entrusted by his father, if because of the peace, the state and county will ridicule the father for being inhuman, so as to damage the prestige of the father and insult the reputation of the family, and the crime is great! Every time I think about it, I can't sleep. ”

"Qing is too humble...... I know that you are too educated, know military affairs, and have courage... But the army of this county was less than four hundred. Wen Taishou sighed.

No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Liu He thought: "The Ming Mansion doesn't have to sigh. I am tired in Youzhou, and I have relied on the tax support of Hebei and Qingdao for many years, and it is a great luck to raise 400. ”

The next step is to deliver the papers, verify the tiger talisman, and tomorrow and Zou Jing will go to receive the recruits.

Liu He wanted to befriend Zou Jing, so he took him to Zhang Fei's house.

Along the way, Zhang Fei began to blow: "Lord, don't hide it, among our Zhuoxian rangers, I am the best in martial arts." Some of my ancestors have been in the army, served as a captain, and have family skills, but they have been passed on to my brothers of this generation. I have been boiling my body since I was a child, and I have been practicing more than once, and now, I can use a strong bow and a spear, and I dare not say that there are hundreds of enemies, and at least seventeen or eighteen people are not close to me. ”

Liu He smiled in his heart: Yide, you are ten thousand enemies.

"Yide is a tiger with a stunt, and he is a warrior at first glance. Now that the assassin is preparing to fight against Xianbei, it is a good opportunity to make more military achievements and find a marquis. Liu Bei said.

"The Junhan family clan, and a disciple of Lu Gong, is more than 20 years old and is still white, good at inspiring to join the army to fight for fame, how can I lag behind Jun before I am weak." Zhang Fei looked at Liu Beidao.

Liu He sighed slightly in his heart: Yide is also too upright, but fortunately, Liu Bei's joy and anger are invisible.

It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo in the TV series ignored him when he heard that Liu Bei was white. In this era, if you are in your twenties and have not become famous, you are indeed not a hero, and you will inevitably be looked down upon. Some famous figures in the late Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, these male lords were all born at a young age, named Yangzhou County, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Kong Rong, including Guo Tu, Guo Jia, etc., although some of these scribes came out late because of the party, but they were also famous when they were young.

Liu He patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "The year is cold, and then the pine and cypress will wither." Yide is an upright person, and Xuande doesn't care. ”

"The lord is too worried." Liu Bei looked humble.

Liu Hexin said: "Liu Bei suffers a loss, his reputation at home is not obvious, and he has no backing, and he is too late to become famous, so although he is eloquent, he has to spend half his life." ”

Zhang Fei sighed lightly: "It's not! Why did my grandfather name me 'Fly'? I hope that I will be able to find a marquis with military merits in the future and soar to the sky! Inherit the majesty of our ancestors and glorify our ancestors! ”

Liu He suddenly found that Zou Jing was not interested in everyone's conversation, and he looked like he had something on his mind.

"Why is Sui'an depressed?" Liu He asked.

"There is the relief of Lao Shun." Zou Jing arched his hand: "It's a wanted criminal who escaped today." ”

"Oh?" Liu He said curiously.
