Chapter 62: A Great Gift for You
In Liu Kuan's heart, Gongsun Chan is the mortal enemy of his father and son, and in history, it was Gongsun Chan who killed his top boss Liu Yu and occupied Youzhou. Liu Kuan knew that Gongsun Zhan had adopted a strategy of coercion against the ethnic minorities in the north, which was contrary to Liu Yu's strategy of appeasing Huairou. Liu Kuan also didn't want Gongsun Chan to become bigger, thousands of horses passed, and Gongsun Chan could form thousands of extremely powerful elite cavalry in an instant.
Liu Kuan knows that he has come to this era, although he has no other ambitions, but protecting his family is a top priority, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan are either you die or I live. If you want to save your family, killing Gongsun Chan is the only option you have to have.
"Brother Jian Ju, I am a disciple of the Han royal family!" Liu Kuan looked at Jian Juju calmly, thinking about it, he still revealed his true identity.
"Oh, Liu, Brother Liu is?" Jian Ju remembered that Liu Kuan's surname was Liu, and he was a little surprised.
"I am the grandson of Liu Shu, the Taishou of Danyang, and the son of Liu Yu, the prime minister of Ganling! The court is friendly to all tribes and does not allow bullying. Gongsun Zhan's forced taxation and forced tribute of horses were all against the will of the imperial court. Liu Kuan said flatly, "Soon, the imperial court will send another Youzhou Thorn History, the new Thorn History is friendly to ethnic minorities, not only to make ethnic minorities and Han people equal, but also to vigorously carry out border trade, support the development of the economy and livelihood of all tribes." ”
"Oh." Jian Ju couldn't react at once, and he couldn't believe Liu Kuan's words.
For so many years, the Han people have been suppressing various tribes, and Gongsun Chan has eliminated several tribes. Now no one in the northern tribe dares to disobey Gongsun Zhan, even the leader of Wuhuan, the greedy king, has also submitted to Gongsun Zhan, and the other leader, Qiu Liju, has also been defeated, and now I don't know where to hide.
Wu Qiu Jian opened his mouth, "My senior brother is the uncle of the current emperor!" What he said can be false! Tian Yu didn't say much, but he generally understood what Liu Kuan meant, and nodded at Jian Zheng.
In fact, Jian Ju was also in pain for the five hundred good horses that were forcibly sent by Gongsun Zhan. "What do you mean, brothers?"
"Not only did he not give it to him, but he also robbed him of more than 2,000 white horses!" Liu Kuan still said lightly.
Jane Ju gasped.
"Tell someone to delay for two days. Today you are getting married, and you are going to be busy with yours. We will think of a foolproof plan tomorrow, not only robbed his horse, but also made him dumb to eat coptis, and we can't blame us for Xidu! ”
Jian Ju knew that Liu Kuan was powerful, and seeing that he was confident, he also moved his mind. So he got up and went over, found Ma Jia beside Wei Qiutai, and came back after a few words.
Ma Jia is Wei Qiutai's right and left hand, and now that Wei Qiutai is old and sick, he no longer manages the affairs of the tribe, and Jian Ju's words are becoming more and more weighty.
Liu Kuan knew that Jian Ju had gone to explain the matters that had been delayed, and he hadn't thought of any strategy yet, so it seemed that he couldn't drink more today, so save his mind and think about it at night.
Wu Qiu Jian was drunk that night, and Liu Kuan didn't stop him, after all, after these few days, Wu Qiu Jian needed to release himself too much.
In the middle of the night, Liu Kuan and Tian Yu took the drunk Wuqiu Jian and came to the room arranged by Niu Jia to rest. The three of them didn't understand the etiquette here, so they let go of Jian Ju, who was married. If it is in the future life, you will have to go to the new house to make trouble. In Liu Kuan's heart, Jian Ju is one of his few friends! Maybe my brother gets married, so I'll give you a big gift.
"Brother Liu Kuan!"
When the sun rose on the second day, Liu Kuan, Wu Qiujian, and Tian Yu were thinking about whether to find the newlywed Jian Ju in the house, and Jian Ju pushed the door in.
"I thought that the brothers hadn't gotten up yet, and they didn't dare to disturb them." Jian Ju seems to have thought about it a long time ago.
Liu Kuan saw Jian Ju followed by two big men in their twenties, both of whom were stout men of more than 1.8 meters. The two are dark, their eyes bulging, and they look like two brothers.
"Oh, let me introduce you," Jian Ju saw Liu Kuan looking at the two behind him, "This is the brothers Murjin and Murtong, and they are Mullan's brothers!" ”
Liu Kuan and the three hurriedly greeted people, it turned out to be Jian Ju's two eldest brothers, no wonder the bride is tall, it turns out that she has strong genes, Liu Kuan said in his heart.
"Brother Liu Kuan, Gongsun Zhan also forcibly took 300 white horses from the Wofu tribe. The white horse of Wo Fu has long been given to Gongsun Yue, and the accompanying horse drivers are outside the city of Xidu. ”
When Jian Ju spoke, Liu Kuan saw that there was indignation in the eyes of the brothers Murjin and Murtong. Liu Kuan knew that Jian Ju and their brother must have said their thoughts, and since Jian Ju could tell them, it meant that they were credible.
"The three brothers will call me Zihua directly in the future. In our Han nationality, it is more cordial to call the words between brothers. Liu Kuan said and turned his head to Murjin, "Brother Murkin, do you send people to drive horses in addition to sending horses?" ”
Murkin's voice was very loud, like a gong, "Yes, I gave away two hundred horses last year!" ”
"Is the man who sent the horses here?"
Murjin shook his head, and the people who left behind this time were his brothers and some entourage. Jian Ju didn't know what Liu Kuan meant, and said: "What is the situation of the people who are looking for the people who sent the horses from the Wofu tribe, are we people from Xidu?" ”
Liu Kuan patted his head, yes, since they all sent the horses by themselves, Xidu must have sent someone last year. "Brother, you go find a confidant, I want to understand the situation, by the way, find another map."
After Jian Ju went out, Wu Qiu Jian pulled the Murjin brothers to talk, and they were very close to each other. Sure enough, it is "like gathers like things", Liu Kuan looked at Tian Yu again, and he always looked faint and quiet.
What kind of map is this, Liu Kuan took a sheepskin from Jian Ju's hand, and saw that there were rough lines on it.
Seeing Liu Kuan's dazed face, a short man in his fifties, dressed in a short jacket covered with oil stains, brought by Jian Ju leaned over with squinted eyes. Liu Kuan smelled a pungent smell of mutton.
Xiao Lao'er pointed to the map and explained one by one, where is this, where is this, if it weren't for his explanation, Liu Kuan wouldn't have been able to see it, this is the lake, this is the mountain, this is the river......
"Mountain eagle, childe, this is mountain eagle." The little old man pointed to a position under the sheepskin and said, "The east and west sides of the mountain owl are continuous mountains, this is a dangerous mountain pass, leading from north to south, and the terrain is dangerous. ”
Liu Kuan heard the little old man say this, as if he was recommending it to himself. Liu Kuan thought that Jian Ju had told him his purpose, so he glanced at Jian Ju reproachfully, but saw Jian Ju shaking his head at himself.
I can't underestimate this sloppy person, it turns out that he is a good person, and he can see the clues from the details of Jian Ju's search for himself.
Liu Kuan asked in detail about the route they took to send the horses last year. The little old man said: "Childe, the mountain eagle is dangerous here, just like the bird of prey mountain eagle looking down, it is the most convenient passage for us to go to Youzhou, we walked here last year, if we take other roads, we will have to walk more than 100 miles recently." It's a little far from us, in the territory of Wuhuan. ”
Is the mountain eagle a bird of prey? Liu Kuan didn't know what kind of bird the mountain eagle was, it should be a bird like an eagle, whatever.
When Liu Kuan heard this, he was overjoyed, what he wanted was to stay away from here, and it would be better in Wuhuan.
After the little old man left, Liu Kuan gathered a few people.
"Brothers, Gongsun Chan is rampant, and he fights at every turn, and we want to give him some color this time. This time we are not only going to rob his horse, but he will not suspect us, and this time he has lost his white horse, so it is not good to ask you again. ”
"That's, how can he be bullied like this!" Mur Tong said in a muffled voice.
"The people Gongsun Yue has seen, pay attention to dressing up, I and Wuqiu Jian don't use sticks, after Jian Ju and the Murjin brothers go back, buy more Wuhuan Qiu Liju's banner, and we will act in the name of Qiu Liju, anyway, Qiu Liju and Gongsun Chan don't deal with it, so let's relieve his anger and make a name for him." Liu Kuan said with a smile.
Jian Juju and Murjin brothers didn't want to rob horses, but they were still worried about bringing disaster to their clan, and when they heard Liu Kuan say this, they suddenly felt relieved.
"Jian Ju, you arrange for someone to send the horse to Gongsun Yue tomorrow morning, and arrange more henchmen to go in to send the horse, Brother Muergin, you also try to meet your horse deliverer, find a confidant to arrange, and today you will go back to the clan and prepare to go." Jian Ju and the others couldn't help but nod.
Liu Kuan pointed to the map and said, Let's ......
