"It's dark......" Liu Yan hugged his beloved son's shoulders and said: "The body is much stronger, how about it, I have suffered a lot these days!" ”

"Back to my father, a little suffering is nothing, the child has gained some knowledge along the way, and has made many like-minded friends, and has gained a lot."

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Listen to what the eldest and second said that you proposed to leave Beijing this time?" ”

"Back to Father, yes. The saint died, the capital was in turmoil, and the general and the ten permanent servants faced each other-for-tat, almost fighting each other. After discussing with my eldest brother and second brother, I thought that staying in Beijing was not only difficult to ensure safety, but also more likely to be held hostage and blackmail my father to do something contrary to loyalty. ”

Liu Yan twisted his beard and didn't say anything.

Liu Zhang didn't understand what Liu Yan meant, so he said: "When the child was in Jingzhou, I heard that the general had been killed by the Ten Standing Servants, and the former general, Dong Zhuo, the Marquis of Aoxiang, led the army into Beijing under the banner of avenging the general. Now the court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, he secretly abolished the young emperor last month and set up King Chen Liuwang as the emperor, led the country by himself, killed dissidents, stayed in the harem overnight, praised and worshipped the unknown, did not enter the court, and went to the palace with a sword......"

Liu Yan waved his hand violently, and shouted angrily: "How dare Pifu'an do this? ”

Liu Fan and Liu Wei were also resentful when they heard this, and at the same time they became more and more grateful to their younger brother, if they hadn't listened to his advice, they would probably be crawling at Dong Zhuo's feet at this time! While grateful, they also admired their younger brother's ability to predict the prophet.

Liu Zhang said: "Father, now that the court is out of authority, traitors are rampant, and the country is not a country, the people of the Han Dynasty are struggling under the obscenity of Dong thieves, and life is worse than death. ”

Liu Yan's anger came quickly, and it didn't go slowly, after listening to Liu Zhang's words, he said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, you go to see your mother first, and recuperate for a few days." ”

Liu Zhang knew that although Liu Yan's mind was active, he was cautious by nature, and he was worried at the moment, so he naturally didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he had to bow and leave.

Then Liu Zhang went to see his mother and the third brother who was seriously ill, his mother Fei is a very kind person, perhaps it is because of his mother's teaching that the four sons are very harmonious and have a deep friendship with each other. The third brother Liu Mao has been tortured by illness for a long time, which makes him look like dry wood and weak. Liu Zhang couldn't say a word to him, he was out of breath, and Liu Zhang had to say goodbye and leave.

Leaving Liu Mao's place, Liu Zhang ordered someone to take him to visit Xun You and others. After seeing that they were properly settled and that there was nothing needed for their lives, they were led back to their courtyard by their subordinates.

As soon as he walked into the small courtyard, a weak green shadow rushed over: "Young master, you are finally back......" As he spoke, the little figure began to sob.

Liu Zhang felt very kind when he saw this little girl who was less than twelve years old, she was the first person he met when he came to this world - Yaoting! When he planned to leave the capital, most of the people in the house stayed, but looking at Yaoting's thin body, he couldn't keep her in the capital anyway, he knew very well what kind of catastrophe the capital would usher in, if he left her, it would undoubtedly let her die, so he begged Liu Fan and Liu Yi to bring her back to Yizhou.

Liu Zhang took Yaoting's hand and said, "What's the matter, who bullied my family Shaoting?" I'm still crying! Although his physical age is only sixteen years old, he can only be regarded as Yaoting's elder brother at most, but he is old in his heart, so Yaoting is just a nephew in his eyes, and his tone is full of pity.

Yaoting listened to tears welling up, she sobbed: "No one bullied the slave maid, the young master came back safely, the slave maid is happy......

Liu Zhang pulled Yaoting into the room and said, "How is it, are you still used to it here?" ”

Yaoting said: "Get used to it, but the young master is not there, there is only one slave in the yard, and I am very scared at night!" "A little girl of eleven or twelve years old, who lives alone in this deep courtyard at night, is not afraid of ghosts.

Liu Zhang said: "Is there no one else in the hospital?" ”

"Yes, but the slave doesn't recognize those sisters...... Yaoting pinched her fingers embarrassedly.

Liu Zhang scratched her little nose and was a little speechless.

Yaoting blushed and said, "In the future, the slave and maid will not be afraid......"

After Liu Zhang, who had been in the dust all the way, took a good bath and changed clothes, he slept beautifully.

That night, Liu Yan held a banquet in the backyard, and Liu Mao, who was drenched in breath, also showed his face with the support of his subordinates. Because it was a family banquet, Xun You and the others did not attend.

The next day, Liu Zhang took advantage of Liu Yan's free time to introduce Xun You and others to him. Liu Yan looked at everyone, and became more and more fond of his son, and said secretly: "My son's vision is so powerful, these people are not ordinary people at a glance, all of them have the talent of worshipping the prime minister, with their help, I Yizhou will definitely ......" He didn't dare to think about it, but he had already made up his mind, after a hundred years, this Yizhou foundation will be passed on to his young son, and I believe that this foundation will never be buried in his hands. As for the eldest son and the second son, although they are also very talented, they are only talents in one county, which is not enough to inherit and carry forward the foundation of Yizhou, and the third son is even more terminally ill and may go before him at any time.

Liu Yan immediately began to assist his son, and when Liu Zhang was named Zhonglang General, Xun You and others served under his account. Of course, Liu Zhang, the Zhonglang, will only be a title for the time being, and there is not a single soldier who can only be transferred. Then Liu Yan and Liu Zhang formally introduced to the Yizhou civil and military forces.

For seven days in a row, Liu Yan never raised the matter of soldiers, but only asked him to gather forces from all sides in Yizhou and cultivate forces. Liu Fan and Liu Yi have no complaints about this, they admire their little brother very much, and believe that only he can bring new glory to the Liu family, so they fully support Liu Yan's intentions.

These days, Liu Zhang has had contact with various powerful factions in Yizhou, although he can't talk about any feelings, but at least he is no longer a stranger.

Zhang Song, Zhang Lu, Yan Yan, Wu Yi, Pang Yi, Huang Quan, Zhao Wei, Fei Guan, etc., are political, military, or local powerful factions. These people are all human spirits, and they know very well that this young man will be the lord of Yizhou in the future, and they are all very polite.
