When the news of Liu Zheng's arrest reached Changping, it was already afternoon.

Xun You, Xun Yue, Jian Yong and others were slightly stunned after learning the news, but they didn't react much.

In fact, they had already expected it, after all, they had been found from various places in Changping before, and all of them had their hands tied, and they were escorted to the south gate to show the public.

At this time, their expressions were either uneasy, or pensive, or wryly smiling, and they were embarrassed, and they lowered their heads as if it was a little difficult to accept such a scene of onlookers, but their eyes also paid attention to the movement ahead.

As far as the eye could see, a large number of Yellow Turban troops knelt down after Liu Yu brought people to the scene, countless well-equipped county soldiers lined up on one side, and the cavalry ran back and forth to bring back the escapees.

The neighborhood was a little quiet, except for Liu Yu's angry shouting.

Compared with the commotion of the Yellow Turban Army when Liu Zheng spoke before, Liu Yu stood on the city wall and shouted, the Yellow Turban Army did not have much noise at all, even if Liu Yu announced the news of Liu Zheng's collusion with Gongsun Du, except for Zhao Yu, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and a few other people who refuted and were tied up, the others were basically silent, and the leader of the leader was extremely enthusiastic to compliment Liu Yu, and took the lead in defecting to help pacify the Yellow Turban Army, and the scene was like a harmonious faction.

Towards the end, Liu Yu looked at the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned, and there was no shortage of words complaining about Liu Zheng's rebellion that caused the lives to be ruined, and burst into tears, causing many Yellow Turban soldiers to cry bitterly, and some people scolded Xun Yue, Xun Yue, Zhao Yu and others, which made Xun Yue, Jian Yong and others look ugly, but Xun You was thoughtful, and after not seeing Pei Lian and Ran Lian for a long time, he lowered his head and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

After all, Liu Yu is a state pastor, and he is the most benevolent, after he said that a large amount of grain and grass would be transported to help the Yellow Turban Army later, everyone in the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground, shouting in unison to praise Liu Yu, which was more than a hundred times more magnificent than the small scene caused by Liu Zheng before.

Not long after, seeing Liu Yu disappear into the city tower, Xun You and others were also escorted to the county office, Mr. Xu, who was mixed with the crowd that began to disperse, looked at the city tower from afar, his expression was thoughtful, and the big man named Gao Ran next to him cried and laughed: "I didn't expect Liu Youzhou to really pretend to be sick." This praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is really unexpected. Hey, Liu Zheng said before that people are full of blood, but I didn't expect to be imprisoned in the blink of an eye, and maybe I was worried about my life. ”

"Not really." Mr. Xu looked at the nearby Yellow Turban Army spontaneously maintaining order and cleaning up the battlefield, and swept the stains all over his body, frowning slightly, "Since Liu Bo'an has the heart to leave us and wait for a while, it's okay." Stay a few more days and see what happens. ”

"What do you mean, sir? These Liu Zheng's people have all been tied up, do you think there are still changes in them? ”

Gao Ran was puzzled, and Mr. Xu glanced over, "I must hate you if I beat you?" Do you want you to know how powerful I am, and I want you to surrender to me? You're a man who has a lot of means to train soldiers, but in this regard, you are"

Seeing that Gao Ran suddenly realized that he laughed dryly, Mr. Xu shook his head, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly, "Regardless of Liu Zheng, many Xun clan people around him are all manufacturable materials, and after a long time, it is difficult to say that they are not the ministers of the humerus." This time, they have been checking and filling in the gaps for Liu Zheng, and they haven't done anything wrong, if they belong to Liu Bo'an and intercede for Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng may not have a chance if he wants to escape. ”

Gao Ran hesitated for a moment, "Sir, since Liu Youzhou is not dead, I can't wait if you don't say that Yang County's order is recruiting me, and it's okay, then go back and report this matter directly to the lord?" How is it? ”

"Go back?" Mr. Xu asked rhetorically, raised his hand and grabbed the dirty short brown chest and pulled it a few times, and said impatiently: "I thought to, but the matter is not over yet." We have fallen short, but it remains to be seen how Youzhou will be. First, Liu Zheng has a sword in his hand, if Liu Boan doesn't want it, second, Liu Boan crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, Liu Zheng will not descend, third, millions of yellow scarves will belong to Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan will not be satisfied, and fourth"

Mr. Xu paused, puzzled, "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that Liu Yu appeared?" Only three days after the battle in Changping, Liu Yu arrived with his troops, listened to what he had just said, and met Gongsun Yue and Su Fuyan on the way, and persuaded those people to surrender and waste some time. If there is a change in Changping, Liu Yu will know it immediately. After that, he hurriedly brought troops over to rescue the Yellow Turban Army."

"How did Liu Yu know? Lu Zigan and Liu Xuande are here, if he is really imprisoned, how can he know the situation? He came over, no matter how he looked at it, it was like cleaning up the mess of the Yellow Turban Army for Liu Zheng, and this is going back to the source, whether he pretended to be sick to cooperate with Lu Zhi, Liu Zhenggong, Sun Zhan, or Lu Zhi's temporary defection, but I can think that the Yellow Turban Army may be taken in by Liu Yu, how can the Xun clan not know the indispensable truth of guarding against people? How can there be no precautions? ”

"Sir, do you think there's something going on in that?"

"Naturally, there is an inside story, I have to take a look at it again, it's a bit messy" Mr. Xu frowned and looked at the northwest, "Wait." If necessary, I may have to go to the military capital to see Liu Zheng's injuries and Gongsun Zhan's reaction to this."

"Well, why didn't Mr. go directly to ask Liu Xuande and Zhen Guoning? Maybe they both knew? ”

"Nonsense. Now that Youzhou is unstable and Liu Yu has left Jixian County, how can there be any reason why this city is not sealed? Even no, Liu Bei was not locked up by Liu Yu, and there must be a lot of eyes and ears around him. Shall I not see more clearly here? Also more free? ”

Someone called, Mr. Xu glanced around, and then glanced at a yellow turban leader on the side of the battlefield who waved to them past, pinched his nose and rolled his eyes, "Go over." Although I have suffered a little, I have not gained nothing from this trip. At least he, Liu Zheng, has some ability, and he can figure it out. If I expected to be correct, this man has always acted recklessly, and there will be such a scene of failure as today, I think he is bent on going his own way and does not listen to dissuasion. Lu Zi did this, I am afraid that he is doing what Wancheng did in the past. Oh, the country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, what is the use of beating? If this person comes, I'm afraid it will only become more violent. ”

He sniffed, sniffed the stench in the air, smiled a little reluctantly, tilted his head a few times to signal Gao Ran to go with him, but his eyes glanced faintly to the south.

Some words are not yet Gao Ran's turn to know, but he knows that compared to Liu Zheng, Liu Bei holds the Zhongxing sword in his hand, has great ambitions, and is good at forbearance, how can he be easy to follow, and he is by no means a person who can be trusted.

It's just that now, I still have to rely on this person

In the county office, Liu Yu sat firmly in the high hall, browsing the bamboo slips that Xun Yue had not had time to put away before, and Xun You, Xun Yue, Jian Yong, Zhao Yu and other people knelt below, or looked at each other, or their faces were bitter, only Xun You yawned, and then lowered his head, his butt pressed against his ankles, looking drowsy.

In these years, he sat like Xun You, kneeling and straightening his body, so seeing that Xun You, a prisoner, sat down and took a nap in front of Liu Yu without any taboos, Xun Biao's expression on the side was ugly, and he secretly pushed him with his elbow, and saw Xun You looking over blankly, staring at his mouth: "What are you doing?" ”

"I haven't rested well, and I'm not allowed to take a nap? I can take a nap every day for the past two months, oh, it's the biological clock that my uncle said, and I can't blame it if it's already cultivated, right? Moreover, you and I are both from the Xun family, what else can Liu Yuanjun do? When you're leaving, you tell me, I'll sleep for a while. ”

Hearing Xun You speak, although it was as low as a mosquito, it still scared Xun Biao, he squeezed his eyebrows for a while, but Xun You still said unhurriedly, and at this time he closed his eyes and took a nap, he was a little angry, but he didn't speak, but Xun Yue next to him whispered angrily: "It's insulting"

As soon as the words fell, only a heavy sound of "pop" was heard, and everyone was startled, and they all looked at Gao Tang, and saw that Liu Yu's hands were still on the desk when he patted the bamboo slips, his eyes were lowered, and he said expressionlessly: "You guys are dressed in smocks, and you must be from the Xun family?" ”

Liu Yu is in a high position, and there was a foreshadowing of the words and deeds of the South City Gate before, plus everyone was bound, Liu Yu did not have any expression at this time, and everyone inevitably had a sense of oppression in their hearts.

Xun Yue Xun Biao was also frank, at this time he responded respectfully and solemnly, introduced himself, saw that Xun You was silent, Xun Biao felt that Xun You's identity could not hide Liu Yu, and bumped into Xun You again in annoyance, but he didn't expect Xun You to snort impatiently, and shouted: "I am the lord and the retainer, and today I was framed by the envoy and captured, what should I do?" Do you want me to become inflammatory? Don't you know the truth that the Lord humiliates his ministers to death! Now that my lord's life is in danger, do you want me to flatter my enemies? ”

These words were righteous and awe-inspiring, from the previous laziness to the positive color at this time, but after a moment, Xun Yue was stunned, probably thinking that Xun Yu at this moment was the most dignified, and immediately dismissed the plan to dissuade again.

"The lord humiliates the death of the minister" Liu Yu repeated, his eyes glanced at Xian Yuyin on the side, not long after Xian Yuyin went out, there were a lot of footsteps outside, on the high hall, Liu Yu looked at the content on the bamboo slip, and said in a deep voice: "Since you call yourself Liu Zheng's retainer?" It must be Xun Yu Xun Gongda. ”

"It's down there! In the next plan to cut the difficult building, plan Liaodong, divide Wuhuan, plan for the stability of Youzhou, and my lord can be said to be for Youzhou"

"Xun Gongda, be honest!" Xian Yuyin snorted coldly and entered the door, "Don't fucking fart." The Lord humiliates his ministers to death? You say that, my father-in-law has been at the mercy of you for so long, shouldn't Lao Tzu kill you with a knife? ”

"Even if the knife comes, what are you afraid of!" Xun You's righteousness is awe-inspiring.

Liu Yu still lowered his head, raised his eyes and looked at Xun You, seeing that Xun You's face was calm, he raised his hand and waved, "Drag it down, whip fifty, and lock it up." When you admit your mistake, come back to me. ”

Xun Yue Xun Biao hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded, Zhao Yu Guan Hai and Zhou Cang also apologized one after another, and they took care of everything, and generally said that Xun Yu was weak and loyal, and should not be punished.

Liu Yu was also stubborn, and his tone was slightly colder, "Drag it down." ”

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. This backbone is quite hard, and he would rather die than give in. As several soldiers carried themselves out, Xun You laughed loudly, and then was dragged out.

Xun Yue Xun looked at Jian Yong and the others, and before everyone could react, Jian Yong's eyes flickered for a moment, but he was the first to give in, kowtowed: "Liu Yuanjun, Jian is willing to surrender, but he knows everything, and he knows everything." ”

"Oh, Jane? Are you Liu Zheng's uncle Jian Yong Jian Xianhe? Someone came, dragged it down, and was sentenced with Xun You. ”

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, seeing that some soldiers dragged him down, and after begging for mercy a few times, he also began to count Liu Yu's actions of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Although Jian Yong was born in a businessman, his eloquence was not in vain after all, and his rhetoric was gorgeous, but with just a few words, he counted Liu Yu's treachery by seven or seven, and then disappeared at the door, and soon after, there was a terrible scream from a distance.

Xun Yue Xun Guan Hai Zhou Cangtong Fei and a few people couldn't help but be frightened when they heard the screams, some couldn't understand Liu Yu's attitude, and after Zhao Yu also expressed his willingness to give in and be taken down to be whipped fifty, Zhou Cang Guan Hai also fell towards Liu Yu, and then was dragged down, the same is the same as fifty lashes, waiting to be sent down.

Shortly thereafter, only Xun Yu Xun was left in the room, the two looked at each other, listening to the muffled snorting outside the house, their faces were a little pale, and they were still thinking about how to deal with Liu Yu, and they saw Liu Yu suddenly wave his hand to Yu Yin, and then Xian Yuyin beckoned, letting the soldiers go out and leave.

Liu Yu didn't drag the mud and water, and after everyone left, he clapped his hands, "Dye girl, come out." ”

Ran Lian hurriedly came out of the back hall under Pei Lian's escort and fell to her knees.

Fang Cai Xun Yu and the others also heard the fate of Dying Lotus clearly, and then hurriedly interceded for Liu Zheng, Liu Yu pointed at Pei Lian, and asked Xian Yuyin to ask someone to tie up Pei Lian and drag him down for execution, in Xun Yue Xun Biao Dye Lian's overwhelmed expressions, smiled, and then looked at Xun Yue, turned over the bamboo slips, "I also signed the origin of the volunteer, one meal is enough?" Follow the official post and deliver messages for people, escorting? Its ultimate goal is to find the yellow scarf and settle people's hearts? However, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let the yellow scarf become a warehouse slave of ordinary people? It seems that the yellow scarf will not be bent, but this move is not to spread the eyeliner widely and investigate the situation of all parties? The plot is not small. ”

While Liu Yu was talking, Xian Yuyin also loosened the tie to Xun Yue and Xun Biao, the two looked at each other, a little confused, but Xun Yue also hurriedly bowed down and made a big salute: "Make you worry a lot, Yue will guarantee the head of the item, we are all for the country and the people, and there is no intention of rebellion." ”

"How can I trust you? You are working with your sons, even I dare to be sleepy. The war in Youzhou was together, the people were injured and the people suffered. Just don't talk about that, you entered Changping, took it upon yourself to open a warehouse and release grain, and imprisoned the county order, and governed Changping by yourself, saying that it is good, this is called an expedient measure, and it is difficult to say, is this not a rebellion? ”

"We feel that this trip is inappropriate, but Yang County ordered to collude with Wuhuan and Wang Song to wait for us"

"Oh, he colluded with Wang Song? Dare to ask the two of you, both of them were appointed by me, could it be that I and Wuhuan are also called collusion? Liu Yu smiled absurdly, "When will it be your turn to call the shots in Youzhou?" Did Liu do something wrong that made you feel that you should come forward? But this is also called overstepping the courtesy, also called transgression, and also called rebellion, right? The two of them are members of the Xun clan, don't they know? Liu has always admired Xun Shenjun in the past, but he never thought that after two generations, the Xun family has been incorruptible and shameful to such an extent today? ”

Liu Yu's tone is not serious, but every sentence is pierced into the hearts of Xun Yue and Xun Biao, especially Liu Yu has always been of noble character, plus this time in the final analysis, it is really Liu Zheng Xun Yu who used troops without authorization, and they can be called aiding and abusive, so the two of them said that they didn't dare, but they were so ashamed that they didn't know how to explain it.

A soldier came in to report, saying that Xun You insulted the executioner a few words, and the executioner knocked him out in a fit of anger, Liu Yu's face was slightly ugly, and under Xun Yuexun's pleading, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, take it to the prison to take care of it, find someone to see the injury, don't die." Tell them all to rein in and don't go overboard. ”

The soldier went down immediately, Xun Yue and the three of them hurriedly thanked him, Liu Yu gathered the bamboo slip, and suddenly threw the bamboo slip in front of Xun Yue, and then supported his chin with his right hand, his face suddenly became a little puzzled, "You say, what is this kid thinking?" ”

Xun Yue Xun looked up suspiciously, and saw that Xian Yuyin's face, which had been tense, suddenly turned into a smiling face, so he also secretly glanced at each other, looking surprised.

"If his thoughts are really rebellious, naturally they don't count. It's not a rebellion, this guy is rude. Liu Yu put his left hand on the desk, and his five fingers knocked on the desk alternately, looking dazed, "Moreover, many whimsical ideas actually have some truth." It's about people's livelihood and the overall situation, I'm just afraid that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty that I have seen before are not as far-reaching as he thinks alone. In the past, Zhang Yan, who was thousands of miles away in Zhuoxian County, could be successful, and after the ten permanent servants must be punished, the heroes were divided, and there was almost a fire to burn Luoyang, and there was also a bit of long-term vision, which is rare in the world, but why don't you just refuse to find someone to assist? I just want to be fierce and brave, and I want to turn things around with my own strength."

Xun Yue Xun Biao naturally heard what Liu Yu said, and the words were all on this, and the two naturally knew that Liu Yu had no murderous intentions towards Liu Zhengxun and others, but they were not busy explaining, so they heard Liu Yu say again: "Just such a reckless person, why do you believe him so much if he doesn't follow the rules?" And help him make trouble with me."

"Probably because of his recklessness and a bit of foresight, I waited to see his sincerity," Xun Yue paused and explained: "For a while, his heart was surging, and he did something that made the envoy dissatisfied. ”

"I'm dissatisfied? This is clearly a mistake, right? This has to be replaced by Zhu Gongwei and Huangfu Yizhen, and it is indispensable to be beaten again, and then the guy will be bloody, tearful and crying, oh, I really beat it. Seeing Xian Yu Yin's strange expression, Liu Yu reacted, a little embarrassed, and then looked at the dyed ripples, waved his hand happily and said: "Xian Yu is engaged, you take the dyeing girl and the son of Brown to go to the military capital immediately." As for Zhongyu, how about you stay here, temporarily replace the Changping Order, and finish what Liu Zheng said? I can't really give all my grain and grass to the Yellow Turban Army, and it is not a long-term solution to fish. Let them work together. ”

Xun Yue was stunned, and then thanked him with a look of surprise.

Dye Lian and Xun Biao also hurriedly thanked them, and saw Liu Yu stand up, walked to the back hall with his hands in his hands, looked like he couldn't understand, walked halfway, and seemed to suddenly think of something, paused, and turned back and said: "Zhongyu and Bo Lang, both of you are the grandsons of Xun Shenjun, whether you are excited or not, I believe that you are the pillars of the country and are dedicated to the Han." If I mean if. If he Liu Zheng has ambitions one day, you can come and tell me. Xun Wenruo said, since Liu Deran wants to be his own knife, and he has the ability and pure heart, then I will be a soldier for a while, and protect him This knife will not fall to the ground. ”

His expression was slightly distracted, but his eyes were a little sharper, "But if his knife comes up with a sheath and wields it, it seems that there is no harm in wielding my Binglan, and it is not difficult to really trap a knife." Moreover, Binglan is the place where the soldiers are hidden, the soldiers, the murder weapon, if you say that Binglan really doesn't have a bit of evil spirit, do you think it's possible? ”

Seeing Liu Yu walking away without saying anything, Xian Yuyin hugged his fists and smiled: "Why did the lord say this!" On top of Binglan, could it be that he Liu Deran has a knife? We are all sharp, just waiting to be unsheathed. Wherever you point, we'll wave it there! ”
