The sun sets and night falls.

Outside the village, the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the insects and birds chirp.

Liu Zheng didn't answer, looking at the distant mountains and sky in the west where the sunset was not visible but still red.

He suddenly understood Cai Yu's state of mind.

Cai Yu is twenty-three years old this year, and he did not come out of the mountain in a few years as recorded in the history books of later generations, he is still young now, and he has not entered the office, or rather, he is not ready to enter the government at all.

Although he has a good reputation, he is not conceited enough to think that he can control Liu Zheng.

And what Liu Zheng revealed today will also have a great impact on him.

Thinking about it now, Liu Zheng also feels that his actions are somewhat legendary, and it is completely understandable that Cai Yu, who is almost the same age, will feel uncontrollable.

It's just that the words "knife in his hand" made Liu Zheng feel a lot.

He didn't forget Cai Yu...... That is what Xun Yu should have experienced.

took refuge in Han Fu, Jizhou changed hands to Yuan Shao, and then chose to vote for Cao Cao.

This walk is to dedicate his life to Cao Cao.

Recommend celebrities and give advice......

Yanzhou rebelled, and he stabilized one of the three cities and kept the foundation of Cao Cao's rise.

Dedicated to the emperor to the east, he tried his best to overcome public opinion and welcome the Son of Heaven.

Since then, whenever Cao Cao has been in battle, he has sat in the center to stabilize the court, and it is also to stabilize Cao Cao's fighting spirit that retreats from time to time when he is far away on the front line.

And this stability also made Cao Cao gradually sit up, worship Sikong, be the prime minister, and ...... King of Wei.

Subsequently......

An empty food box, the heart of the quiet man returns to dust, and it is difficult to work with a king with a different surname.

He parted ways with his old master and committed suicide by poisoning.

The reputation of "Wang Zuozhicai" is not self-reaping.

He worked hard to send Cao Cao to the king of Wei, and suddenly looked back, but this big man had become not a big man of the Liu family in his hands, and he could only return to Huangquan with his loyal and sincere soul......

The knife in the hand......

Feeling Cai Yu's breathing on one side, this sense of reality made Liu Zheng feel extremely heavy when he recalled the other party's experiences, and then he suddenly bit his thumb, wiped blood on his lower lip, and said: "Qing lives up to me, I live up to Qing." ”

Cai Yu was stunned, raised his right hand and looked at his index finger, hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Liu Zheng laughing, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a dry smile: "This is not cowardice for my brother, your move is really abrupt, you and I have only been honest with each other for a moment, just like this, I don't know what to do for my brother......"

In the field of vision, Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Ke looked over, the faces of the two were obviously curious about what Liu Zheng was talking to him, and he was still in a bloody alliance, he turned his head a little uncomfortably, looked at the sunset, but his heart was also warm, "As soon as Zhang County's order leaves, my eldest brother is temporarily missing, Jian Xianhe is sitting in Nanyang, for today's plan, the only person you can use and believe in front of you is me." Confess to me at this time, so that I can take over completely? ”

"Nuxun can do it, but it's ......"

If it weren't for Zigangong that day, she would have lost her reputation, and I don't know how many people are staring at her at this time. Now that Uncle Ciming is still here, if you let her show up again, you will have to make an inch of progress and make people tired...... There's always to be someone who can make decisions at the front, right? ”

Cai Yu shook his head and chuckled, thinking for a while, "But Rong Yu said first, your words that made Zhang Mancheng's heart move were superficial, where is it so simple inside." Take it for granted. ”

Liu Zheng chuckled, he also smiled, and said suspiciously: "It's just that I don't understand, there are not many people who can be used in your hands." Not to mention Guan and Zhang, the Lu family has many talents, the Cai family and the Bao family also have available people, Zhang Zhongjing is familiar with you, and Brother Bo Lang, Gongda, and Bo Qi share your weal and woe, in addition, there are also Brother Zhong Fu, Li Li and Tang are also quite insightful among the brothers of Brother Li Cheng, why do so many people not choose, and they have to entrust those affairs to me? ”

This question gave Liu Zheng the feeling that he was refusing, he remembered the thought he had been haunting, and sighed: "You really have to leave." ”

"Huh?"

"I once heard Gongda say that Ling Zun was the minister of Jinan, and Brother Meng De will now succeed him as the minister of Jinan. He is quite talented and tolerant, and Xi Zhicai will definitely recommend you this time, so as not to bury your talent. Now that the two sisters-in-law have suffered because of me, you also have some connections in Jinan, and even lived for a long time, so it is better to go and find Ming Gong. ”

Liu Zheng looked at the distant mountains, didn't look back, and said slightly lost: "I'm right, right?" ”

"Uh...... Hehe, hahaha......"

Cai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Liu Zheng looked over with a puzzled expression, and saw Cai Yu crying and laughing, "It seems that you are not an unknown prophet." ”

He grimaced and smiled: "This speculation is also reasonable, but do you know who brought Nuxun here in the first place?" If I leave, Nu Xun resolutely refuses to leave, is it possible for me to tie her up? With her heart, it's hard to say whether the southeast branch will hang on the road......"

Liu Zheng looked surprised, "You mean ......?"

"Uncle is in the court, since I made a mistake and instigated Nu Xun to come over, I must ensure that Nu Xun spends three years here safely."

Cai Yu nodded, and said: "As for Zhicai, it is common for us to talk about others in vain. But this time is to talk about each other's experiences in Luoyang and Zhuoxian...... Oh, he was still a little apprehensive, he was recommended to Cao Mengde by Brother Zhong Fu and was deeply valued, thinking that Cao Mengde also had the intention of being good friends with Brother Zhong Fu, he was afraid of losing Brother Zhongfu's face, and he didn't dare to admonish him by binding his hands, I asked him to just say it bluntly, if there is anything wrong, let Cao Mengde come to you to settle accounts. ”

The gaze was a little narrow, Liu Zheng didn't know whether it was true or not, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's that I think too much......"

"You haven't answered my question yet, why did you pick me?"

"Because...... Wang Zuozhicai, you are the only one in the world, Xun Wenruo. ”

At the junction of yellow and black in the sky, the spring breeze was pleasant, blowing his clothes, Liu Zheng bent down and arched his hand, and said loudly, "I am sincerely helping the Han family, lest I mess with myself, you are alone in the rear, and you are outspoken, within a hundred years, you are worry-free outside!" ”

Cai Yu was stunned, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he held Liu Zheng's arm and said with a dry smile: "There are countless heroes in the world, and you Liu Deran is still among them, so you are flattered." It's not such an honor to be a brother, and I've had nothing to do lately, but I can still do some of my modest efforts. Get up, get up. ”

Liu Zheng smiled, but he didn't stand up straight, and said in a slightly astringent tone: "Since Brother Wen Ruo said so, Zheng also asked...... If I kill my brother...... Well, it's the clan brother Liu Bei Liu Xuan......"

Seeing Cai Yu's face instantly constricted, his expression was serious, Liu Zheng immediately said the entanglement with Liu Bei without any hesitation, and after talking about what Li Yan might encounter on this trip, he looked at the door of the mansion, as the sky was getting dark, Li Yan's family was a little anxious, and they had already appeared at the gate of the mansion and paced back and forth.

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "It was just a thought at the beginning. is resentful in his heart that his brother is lazy and lazy, and sits back and enjoys his success. Since then, he has been at odds with him, and now whether he has the intention of rebellion or not, he is purely chasing after the wind and shadows......"

"You're saluting before soldiers."

Cai Yu sighed and said helplessly: "So keep filial piety...... Is it also because Yu Yuan is ashamed in his heart? ”

“…… Precisely. ”

"Why are you being blunt with me? Does Nuxun know? Don't you be afraid that I will tell Uncle Ciming......"

"I'm afraid, but there will always be times when I can't hide it...... Moreover, I will live up to me, I will live up to my promises, and I must always keep my promises......"

"Heh, can I take back Fang Cai's words and say that I have something to go back to recently?"

Liu Zheng's face tightened, Cai Yu helped Liu Zheng up, and said with a wry smile: "It's just a joke." It's not easy for you to tell you frankly. ”

He sighed with emotion: "Since you yourself have such an attitude in front of me, you should also know in your heart what is right and what is wrong." I advise you for my brother, who is without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. ”

Liu Zheng hesitated, "It's ......"

"Don't you hear that your brother is against the wall, and he is insulted outside? Now you lack an enemy to ease each other's grudges, so that he can let go of his old suspicions. ”

Cai Yu paused, "Have you ever thought that Liu Xuande may really have the heart to worship Yuan Qigong?" I was afraid that you would send someone with bad intentions, so I came here through the protection of Uncle Ciming this time. ”

Seeing that Liu Zheng had something to say, he nodded, "I know." But if he really came for the Zhongxing Sword, then this was his last chance. When he travels west, as long as he is reused, where can he still call the shots in this matter? Then you will be secretly vigilant, and you will be assured of filial piety. The rest of the matters will be discussed by me and Zhang Mancheng. ”

"That'...... Please be cautious about this matter......"

"Don't worry. Can you still ignore the female Xun as a brother? Your words may not be of much use to me, but to her, it means that she can change her mistakes. She may not be looking for reasons to defend you. What's more, your song "Peacock Flying Southeast", I, Xun, have already ...... with you Well, it's hard to say that, in case you're pampered. ”

Cai Yu smiled, "But the art of war is still superb in Zhicai and Gongda." This time, Liu Bei really wants to seize the Zhongxing Sword, if one of the brothers is not careful, you have to go out in person to break the skill. ”

"That's natural, brother, don't worry."

Liu Zheng nodded, thinking about the days when Cai Yu and Xun Yu worked together in the future, and he was also a little excited, "That's not to be ...... later."

"Don't worry, I still have one more thing."

Cai Yu smiled, his eyelids lowered slightly, and said, "Nu Xun said that you have thaumaturgy...... The matter ...... Oh, if you don't want to say it, I won't blame you. It's just that if you say it, Yu may be able to help as much as Zhang Xianling, even if you plan it, it's not impossible. ”

"This ......"

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, "How much does my brother know?" ”

"It's good that you know everything."

"It's not a secret...... If it weren't for the coma that night, I wouldn't have made a bloody alliance at this time, trying to help my brother help me...... It's just that it's a long story, and I asked my brother to send my uncle away and talk about it again. ”

In the breeze, Liu Zheng glanced at the system and looked at the "Cancel the character friendliness viewing function!" in the system prompt. He arched his hand.

Cai Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and it didn't take long for the two to converge with Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Ke.

Previously, Liu Zheng made a blood alliance, and said what he was promising with Cai Yu, Zhang Mancheng naturally inquired, and after knowing Cai Yu's judgment of their trip from Zhang Ke's mouth, Zhang Mancheng was also quite surprised, praised a few words, and also knocked on the side to confirm whether Cai Yu was the Xun family, and was naturally confused by Cai Yu Xun Shuang on the grounds of ignorance.

Soon after, the four of them discussed the issue of Liu Bei's possible attack, and met with Li Yan and others over there, although Li Yan couldn't wait for a long time, but knowing that Zhao Yun and others were missing, it was not too late for an hour or two, and then discussed with Li Li and others who knew that Yan Liang was going north, and everyone dispersed.

Late at night, Liu Zheng looked forward to it for a long time, but he didn't wait for the news that Li Yan and others were attacked, he also felt that Zhang Mancheng might be suspicious of himself, and then stayed two days later Cai Yu Zhang Mancheng came back, and everyone avoided Lu Zhi before confirming that Liu Bei really didn't move.

After that, although Liu Zheng was puzzled by Liu Bei's intention, he was also secretly vigilant, but until Gongsun Yue became a relative, took over Gongsun Zhan's family property here, and stayed here to accompany Lu Zhi Liu Zheng to become a rich idler, Liu Bei did nothing, and his subordinates who were originally followed by Zhang Mancheng and Peng Tuo also seemed to be settling in Zhuo County, until Liu Bei followed Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others to the north, there was no change.

And with the marriage of Gongsun Yue and Xiahou Yan, Cao Cao and others said goodbye and left, Xun Shuang also took Liu Fan and others north after being the main marriage, Peng Tuo was instructed by Liu Zheng and Zhang Mancheng to stay by Xun Shuang's side as a guard, and Zhang Ke also packed his luggage and sold his property after deciding that day, and then unloaded the post of county commander and left with Xun Shuang and others.

He left a pregnant concubine, the night before leaving, he secretly came to meet Liu Zheng from the secret passage, in addition to entrusting the concubine to Liu Zheng, although the two of them were convincing about this trip, but in fact there was no tension in their hearts, Zhang Te was so insecure for the first time, so he also entrusted the aftermath, and took the name of the son and daughter who could be born, the male is called Zhang Te, and the female is called Zhang Ying, and then after Liu Zheng handed over the names of several young talents that may exist in Yizhou, he set off.

In the next few days, Zhang Mancheng handed over all the men he brought over to Bu Ji, and after discussing with Cai Yu, he left for Qingzhou.

And Bu Ji took these subordinates with him, constantly secretly vigilant about Liu Bei's people who stayed here.

It wasn't until two months later that Liu Zheng and Cai Yu, who had lost any vigilance against Liu Bei's subordinates, suddenly discovered that the new Zhuojun Taishou was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

During this period, after Zhang Ke returned to Zhuo County, the message sent by someone made Liu Zheng's mood quite complicated.

The matter of abolishing Shi Limu was decided, Liu Yan did not take office too often, but directly took office as Yizhou Mu, and Zhang Ke also got his wish and mixed with Liu Yan's henchmen, and this time he came to follow Fei to Yizhou together.

It's just that this good news is not as worrying as Liu Bei's appointment as the Taishou of Zhuojun after all, Liu Zheng remembered the break between the Guangzong camp and Liu Bei that day, and he could only hope that Lu Zhi was there, and the other party would be merciful.

Then in June, Liu Bei arrived, the first thing was to come over to greet and worship Liu Shi, everything seemed to be reconciled as before, and then he would come over from time to time to chat with Lu Zhi, Li and others for a while, and even with Liu Zheng and Guan Yu, the three brothers could talk and laugh.

But only Liu Zheng, Cai Yu, Sun Hao, and Bu Ji knew how crazy the people who Liu Bei had lived in Zhuo County before were when they moved, and Cai Yu also discovered that there was no room for turning around this brotherly wall.

Liu Zhengzhuo's reputation in Zhuo County was almost taken advantage of by Liu Bei, and even in the farms and workshops, many people began to intend to treat the owner as Liu Bei.

At the same time, many of the secret secrets related to Liu Zheng hidden in various families were almost discovered and cleared by those people, and even a few secret passages and secret rooms where the news was stored were also ordered to be cleared by Cai Yu after being discovered repeatedly.

Liu Zheng and Cai Yu also knew that there must be a traitor, but because they didn't know who it was, they could only let Sun Hao transfer the important craftsmen to the north to hide, and then let Qin Jin and his brothers and subordinates either withdraw from Zhuo County, or protect the farm and Zhuang Mansion from the dark to the bright, the only good news is that Qin Jin and Cai Yang's sister Cai Fen became relatives and stayed in the Cai family to help.

In July, Jian Yong took Li Li, Huang Zhong and Wen Ping over for a trip, before Jian Yong knew that Liu Zheng was framed, because he knew the situation in Luoyang, he didn't come up, but exchanged a few letters, and paid more attention to the news of Zhang Yan and Cai Nu and others, but after that, the news from Zhuo County was broken, and he found that something was wrong and came over.

After Li Li went south with Wen Chou, he found Yan Liang, who was looking for Zhao Yun and others, but was sent south by Yan Liang.

The two came this time, but also brought a major news, Zhao Yun and Cai Nu were ambushed before, so they went incognito, and did not go to Xuzhou again, but actually returned to Tong Yuan's hometown Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Tong Yuan's body has been buried, and Li Yan and others, in fact, have not been able to wait for Tong Yuan for a long time, and have been repeatedly squeezed by the Yan family, and have taken a group of people to Xiangyang to find, and now they have stayed in Xiangyang with the Yan sisters and Li Chengtang and others, and some have also stayed in Nanyang to do things.

Among them, Cai Nu, that is, Xun Yue, was seriously injured, and now he is taken care of by Zhang Chu and Zhang Ji, and Cai Nu is actually taken care of with Zhang Yan and Yang Feng......

The two failed to travel eastward, and then they were ambushed, and they were chased and killed, and they thought that going north was the easiest to be exposed, so they could only flee to the south, thinking of Jian Yong's existence, they came to Nanyang to defect, and Ping Han took Cai Nu to Nanyang and contacted Jian Yong, Jian Yong also sent people to secretly look for Zhang Yan and others, and then with the mark, he really found Zhang Yan and Yang Feng.

It's just that the two of them didn't know who did it, and after that, they secretly sent someone to let Luo Shi continue to pretend to be looking for it, and stayed in Nanyang to recuperate.

This time Jian Yong came over, but he also talked about Zhao Yun's filial piety, and because of the importance of Zhongxing Sword, he noticed Liu Bei's abnormal movement, and Jian Yong didn't dare to take it, so he only waited for Liu Zheng to leave Liu Bei's territory and then send Zhongxing Sword.

After that, Jian Yong didn't dare to stay longer, and after discussing with Cai Yu, he asked Huang Zhong and his son to stay, and then took Bu Ji and Zhao Hong, who was recuperating in Zhuo County, back to Nanyang.

And with the passage of time, Liu Zhengzhuo's foundation was almost completely destroyed, and it was left behind, and it was also entrusted to the Cai family and Bao Ru to take care of, and even Cai Yu and Cai Yu's three families also lived in Zhuangfu.

Lu Zhi also had the heart to persuade Liu Bei, but Liu Bei denied it, and he didn't know what to do, and Liu Zheng could only endure it......

This forbearance is more than two years.

On May 28, the fourth year of Zhongping, Liu Zheng burned incense and bathed and officially left the house.

And what awaits him is already a completely different man.
