The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, a small colonel came to report in front of the high cadre tent, "The mouth of the pot has been collected by Liu Shi's army." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What? How many people did Liu Shi come, and didn't there be thousands of people guarding the mouth of the pot and the eldest son? How is it so easy to capture? ”

The little colonel said: "It is said that Liu Shijun came with tens of thousands of people, holding the edict of the Son of Heaven, and I heard that there was a captain on one of the walls of the eldest son who refused to speak, and was killed by the hidden arrows under the city, and under the threat of the army, he had to open." The spout of the pot opened the city gate directly. It is said that the people who defend the city were Liu Shi's old acquaintances, and now the Yongzhou army is heading here. ”

"Fuck! These people are cowards. As soon as he said it, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "What did you say?" ”

The junior colonel said: "After Liu Shi led the army to collect the eldest son and the mouth of the pot, he drove here. ”

"Good! Good! Bold Liu Shi dared to go against the Yuan family, I don't think you want to live anymore. I'm going to meet Liu Shi? "Pick up the whip and go out.

Guo Yuan stopped: "The general should not be rash, it is better to set up the camp first, and then set up a trap to prevent the other party from attacking the camp." ”

"Good! Good! Do you need to ask me these things? What do you do? I just need to ask Liu Shi, why did he oppose the Yuan family? ”

The next day, Liu Shi rushed to Hukou Pass with a large group of men and horses, and Zhao Yun brought nearly 2,000 light horsemen out of the city to greet him. Gao Gan was reported early, and he also opened the gate of the village, lined up to greet each other, and the two armies faced each other, and Gao Gan shouted loudly: "Liu Shi! Why are you uneasy and stable to be your Nanyang Taishou, or Yongzhou Mu, and come to fight with me for the state? Could it be that he wants to be an enemy of the Yuan family? ”

Liu Shi frowned, and was about to answer, when Cheng Yin, the captain beside him, shouted: "Gao Gan! Your family is also a high-ranking family, how can you not know the following honors. How can you be so rude to my general? Is the name of my general's name also something you can call at will? Don't apologize quickly. ”

Gao Gan said angrily: "Liu Shi's position as a hussar general is just exchanged for food and money, how can it be counted, and according to his age, I am also older than him, and according to his family background, he Liu Shi is even more incomparable." ”

Cheng Yin said angrily: "You don't respect your elders, you are old and white, according to your family background, my marquis is a relative of the Han family, and the first emperor is also comparable to you." As he was talking, he saw Liu Liushi waving his hand, and Cheng Yin stopped talking.

Liu Shi stepped forward immediately and said to Gao Gan: "Yuancai! I, Liu Shi, have no intention of going against the Yuan family, but I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard and merge the state, and I will decide to merge the state. You go back and tell the first brother that I am Liu Shi in the state, so that he should not think about it anymore, govern Jizhou well, think of the kindness of the Han family, and go to the court to pay tribute as soon as possible, and share the worries of the court, and we are still the ministers of the same palace. If you are obsessed, once the Son of Heaven orders, I will lead the army to break through Jizhou and relieve the Yuan family from entering the court to ask for crimes, it will not look good. Let's go back! It's not your fault that you didn't just intervene. ”

Gao Gan was so angry that his face twitched, and after a while, he said: "Deran Gong! I heard that you are very strong in strength and martial arts, I want to compete with you, do you dare? ”

Liu Shi glanced at Gao Gan and said secretly: "Are the children of this family all like this, don't they know how high or low?" The army dared to propose to fight against me alone, and if I didn't agree with him, I would definitely not be convinced, and I would completely destroy him psychologically. ”

So he said, "Why don't you dare? ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Gan's eyes flashed, his face showed a sneer, he slapped his horse forward, raised his gun and stabbed him, Liu Shi raised his gun to stop, the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, I can't help but say, this Gao Gan is brave, but unfortunately he met Liu Shi.

A year ago, Gao Gan had the possibility of fighting with Liu Shi for a hundred and ten rounds, and now, Liu Shi's strength has made a breakthrough again, and in less than a hundred rounds, Gao Gan was knocked down by Liu Shi with a shot, and pointed at Gao Gan with the tip of his gun: "I won't kill you today, let you go back and talk to your first brother, and don't think about it anymore, and share your worries for the Son of Heaven." Otherwise, wash your neck and wait for my Qinghong Sword! "Say goodbye and go back.

Gao Gan thought that he was already very strong, but today he only walked less than a hundred times under Liu Shi's gun, which made him embarrassed. Roll over and get up, and yell: "Go!" Get back. ”

Liu Shi looked at him, laughed in his heart, and suddenly said loudly: "Gao Yuancai, you have two subordinates to take back together!" Then he said loudly: "Take Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng!" ”

Gao Gan's face flushed, and he said in shame: "What use do you want them to do with useless things?" Let's go! After saying that, he didn't go back and left.

Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, who had just been brought out, saw that Gao Gan was so ruthless, and their hearts were full of sadness.

Liu Shi glanced at them and asked, "What are the plans of the two of you?" ”

Xia Zhao said sadly in his heart: "If the hussar general can forgive his sins, Zhao is willing to be a grass citizen in the general's territory." ”

Deng Sheng responded: "The same is true for Sheng. ”

Liu Shi thought for a moment and said: "Even so, you two are also people who lead the army, let's move with the army!" When there is a new achievement, then do the reward. ”

Liu Shi had just returned to the city and was about to arrange the attack on Taiyuan, when the junior colonel came to report, "Liu Changshi and Master Li sent someone to report to the adults that there was an emergency." ”

Liu Shi was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly called in, and someone saluted Liu Shi and said: "Liu Changshi and Lord Li said, 'Lord Huangfu is back, saying that the Son of Heaven has gone to Xu County, and I ask the hussar general to hurry back to Chang'an to discuss. ”

"What's going on? How did the Son of Heaven go to Xu County? I was puzzled, but I knew that something big must have happened again, so I immediately called the generals to discuss, appointed Zhao Yun as the Taishou of the Shangdang, Liu Hu as the captain, and led 20,000 troops to guard the Shangdang, stick to Hedong, and monitor Taiyuan.

He then led the remnants back to Chang'an.

As soon as he returned to the Hussar General's Mansion, Liu Shi came to everyone to discuss, and Huangfu Li said: "The Son of Heaven was kidnapped by Cao Cao and went to Xu County, Yang Feng and Han Xian were not effective in interception, and went to Yangzhou from Liang County, it seems that they went to Yuan Shu. Now Luoyang has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, Hongnong Taishou is my younger brother, and now the soldiers are thin, and it is too late to say to the general, I have asked Ziming to send someone to help guard Hangu Pass. ”

Liu Shi hurriedly asked what happened?

Huangfu Li said in detail that Dong Cheng and Han Xian were at odds, and Dong Zhao secretly recruited Cao Cao into Luo, and the Son of Heaven and half of the ministers did not want to go, but Cao Cao insisted that Luoyang had no grain and could not supply the daily expenses of the Son of Heaven and the ministers. It is not too late to return when the situation in Luoyang improves.

Cao Cao believed that Zhang Yang and Han Xian were guilty, removed them from their posts, and held them accountable, appointed himself as the lieutenant of Si Li, the post of Situ, and also monitored the ministers. Huangfu Li saw that the situation was not good, so he left, and the Son of Heaven secretly passed that Huangfu Li asked the hussar general to think of saving him.

Liu Shi was silent when he heard this, and everyone looked at each other.

Everyone knows that this Cao Cao is different from Dong Table, Li Xun and others.

Earlier, Xu Zigan, who had the ability to know people, once said: "Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times and a capable minister who rules the world." ”

A sentence appeared in the hearts of the people: 'Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.' "It's just that although this Cao Cao can, is there a way to persuade Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? There are also Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.

None of the people present would believe that this Cao Cao was just for the good of the Son of Heaven and the ministers, and it seemed that they had to deal with more complicated things.

Li Ru said: "The lord should respond to all changes with the same, and if you want to stabilize the party, Taiyuan must be won." If you want Taiyuan to be safe, Yanmen County has to be in the hands of the Yongzhou Army, but this Taiyuan and Yanmen are not easy to take in the hands of the Huns! ”

Jia Xu said suddenly: "As far as I know, this Taiyuan, Yanmen is just occupied by the Xiongnu Youxian King, since the death of the Xiongnu Shan last year, his son Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne, and is still active in Hexi, Shangjun, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan. The right virtuous king can go to the humble no more than 30,000, and after the battle, there are about 7,000 people. As long as the hussar general raids and occupies Yanmen, after Taiyuan, he recommends a captain who protects the Huns to communicate with Huchuquan, which is not impossible to stabilize Taiyuan and Yanmen. Besides, Cao Cao's new successor to the Son of Heaven will take a few months to pretend, and in these few months, the general will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to hold the festival of the axe and the three states, who can object? I'm afraid that Xiliang will be too late. ”

"Why is that?" Liu Shi said suspiciously.

Jia Xu explained: "Although Xiliang is chaotic, as long as there are external forces to force Xiliang, Xiliang has become extremely united and not easy to take down. Moreover, Cao Cao didn't want the general to take it down, the edict might already be on the way, and it would be delivered to the general and the Xiliang people in a few days, and even the appointment letter of the captain of the Huns was about to arrive. Perhaps there is also a will to transfer the generals and the others to serve in the court. ”

Liu Shi was stunned, looked at Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what Cao Cao does!" If he wants to really serve the Han world, he has to let the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang, go to work alone, and serve the people with a public heart, and I will obey myself. Otherwise, if you want to transfer me out of my current territory, you don't have to think about it. If you want to serve in the court, I, Liu Shi, will not stop you. If you want to secretly communicate with Cao Cao in Yongzhou, I, Liu Shi, will not spare it once I find out. ”

He also said: "Wen You immediately drafted a table, recommended Yan Rou as the captain of the Huns, and sent it to Xu County quickly, and sent the tribute that should be sent to the Son of Heaven, showing our determination to guard and merge with the state and Yongzhou, and supervise Liangzhou." ”

After a pause, he looked at everyone again, and said resolutely: "Another cousin An is the Taishou of the Shangdang, Zhenghe is the Taishou of Taiyuan, and Ji Jue is the Taishou of Yanmen." With Zilong leading 10,000 troops, Yan Rou and Zhang Xiu led the headquarters of soldiers and horses to seize Taiyuan and Yanmen, I brought 20,000 elites as the rear army, Wenhe accompanied the army, Xingba garrisoned Hedong, and responded to Hongnong, and the others remained unchanged. The three counties of the state must now be in our hands, and when the time permits, the county of Xihe will be recovered. ”
