There are nine stops in the world, and one of them is mediocre.

Taihang has eight paths, and the military capital is eighth.

Since Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, the prisoners, soldiers, and people moved here, taking the meaning of "migrating to the Yong Disciples", Juyong Pass has been given a special meaning.

It is one of the nine stops in the world in the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", the main road valley of the Jundu Mountain, and also the county passage of Shanggu County and Guangyang County, which is the important place of the soldiers since ancient times, and it is one of the passages of the Huns, Wuhuan and Xianbei after invading Shanggu County.

"The one we came in is called Nankou, and we run more than 40 miles along this valley, and that side is called Juyongguan. Liu Gongzi, Zou Mou said a lot, since a hundred years ago, the imperial court ordered the people of Shanggu County and Dai County to move to the east of Juyong Pass, even if Liu Yuanjun has appeased the Hu people, and also let many displaced people live and recuperate in Shanggu County and Dai County, most of them are still Hu people to the west of this pass. The more than 20 of you are dressed up as martial artists, attracting attention, although it can also deter ordinary people, but the Hu people are already hostile to the Han people, and there are also those who have a more eccentric temperament, and may come to provoke, so you have to pay attention. ”

"Naturally, these Hu people are not all difficult to deal with, and generally asking about their tribal origins will also make them daunted. Xianbei is now divided, the Xianbei people in this area of Shanggu belong to the jurisdiction of Kebineng, Kebineng is still a clear right and wrong, friendly to the Han people, and several tribes under his command are also extremely obedient, saying a few words to complain to him, those Xianbei people will inevitably throw a mouse taboo and dare not mess around. ”

"On the contrary, it is Wu Huan, don't look at Qiu Liju's death, Congzi Dun supervises the four departments and is also considered to be attached to Liu Yuanjun, and this area of Shanggu is difficult to build after all. Nanlou is the same generation as Qiu Liju, although he obeys the orders of Badun, after all, he is old and has a high prestige, but he can't say that he is obedient. ”

"And he is hostile to our Han people, in the past he was the bravest to invade Youzhou, but now although he has changed his ways, those subordinates will occasionally steal the city and villages, and they will not change their ways. I think there is also his connivance. These people may not be useful when they go to Nanlou to complain, and it is not much use to go to Badun and Liu Yuanjun to complain. ”

It has entered summer in April, at noon it is the scorching sun, Juyongguan extends straight to the valley road of the sky, but it is a cool breeze, full of greenery, or the appearance of Han people, or the appearance of Hu people pedestrians scattered to meet them, or horses overtake, Liu Zheng and others ride horses slowly, admiring the majestic mountains and lush ancient trees on both sides of the road.

A middle-aged man continued: "If you want to deal with them, you have to report a few other names. For example, Kebineng's brother Tho Luohou, the tribal marshal Mo Huba, Zonu, or the Micah of Beiping and my Hanmin Tong City on the right side. Xianbei has always been strong, and those people in the difficult building will also be afraid...... Of course, there are times when you are angry, and it is more convenient to report Wuhuan. ”

"Wuhuan will report to Xia, Wuyan, Su Fuyan, these princes and adults. As long as they pretend to be more confident and confident, they will generally let them go. These are the conventions of Hermes-Epitek and Hu people, and well-equipped people like us will be allowed to go directly, and occasionally preferential treatment may be possible. ”

"It's quite similar to Naja Van's life. Big brother, I remember that Jia Wenhe escaped the persecution of the Di people after pretending to be Duan Gong, and was still courteous, right? ”

Zhang Fei asked with a smile, seeing Liu Zheng nodding, he explained to Gongsun Yue, who was puzzled about who "Jia Wenhe" was.

Jia Wenhe, of course, is Jia Xu, and now he has been working in the Niu Fu Department as a lieutenant, if Liu Zheng is not mistaken, this time the Shandong Army Alliance will crusade against Dong Zhuo, and Niu Fu, who is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, is very likely to send troops to fight, and when the time comes, there will inevitably be Jia Xu's figure.

As for Zhang Fei being able to know, it was also because Liu Zhengchuan wrote to Luoyang, so that Nan Guo Yannian, Shiren and others paid attention to the movements of people similar to Jia Xu, Li Ru and others, and even picked up the affairs of his life in order to win over him in the future.

Especially Jia Xu, seeing that Liu Zheng attached great importance to it, Zhang Fei also inquired, and Liu Zheng told Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others about the other party's life, to remind them that if they met, they would catch it, and if they couldn't catch it, they were not allowed to despise it.

Knowing that Jia Xu's reputation was not obvious when he was young, but he was promoted to filial piety, and he was arrested by Di people on the way home due to illness, and he actually relied on Duan Cheng's descendants who pretended to be one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" to deceive the past, and was also courteous, this courage also made Zhang Fei remember, and when he heard something similar at this time, he also said it.

"Liu Gongzi really has the world in mind, and he is in Youzhou, and even the people of Liangzhou have found out clearly."

The middle-aged man listened to Zhang Fei's introduction and said meaningfully, with some admiration and appreciation in his expression.

Liu Zheng smiled, "Captain Zou shouldn't look at me like this." is to like to explore the past of some talented people to set an example. ”

The middle-aged man is called Captain Zou, but it is none other than Zou Jing and Zou Zisu.

He will appear here, which can only show that the wind chill leave is fake.

Of course, this is originally fake, and the scruples are nothing more than the relationship between Liu Zheng and Liu Yu.

Zou Jing will come over because his family business now has some dealings with Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng in private.

In addition, when he came back from the court in the past, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were also a little ashamed because they failed to give Liu Zheng credit in front of Liu Hong, so they asked him to take care of Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng needed to keep filial piety at the beginning, so naturally he didn't need his protection, but this time he went to Shanggu County, but he sent someone to send him a letter to ask for the information of the people from all walks of life who responded to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and also mentioned by the way that he wanted to see Lu Zhi.

Zou Jing wanted to stay in Yuyang and had nothing to do, so he personally came to Jundu County to meet Liu Zheng, who was sheltering from the rain and waiting for information, first, to act as a guide for Liu Zheng, who was going to Shanggu County for the first time, and secondly, to personally tell Liu Zheng the information of several Taishou and colleagues who were more familiar with him in the past, so as not to delay the military plane back and forth by the messenger.

Zou Jing is old and has deep qualifications, so he will deign to do this, of course, there are also reasons why Nanyang and his party were in the first place.

At the beginning, he told Jian Yong how to deal with Liu Zheng, but those words were always too cold-blooded, but now that he has dealings with Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng, he has the heart to make up for it.

What's more, a few years have passed, although Liu Zheng is still a flat-headed commoner, the energy behind it is no longer what it used to be, and he also hopes that in the future, he can give his clansmen another choice of places.

To be honest, the scene of Liu Zheng shedding blood and tears in Wancheng Zou Jing is still vivid, and later heard that Liu Zheng's prophecy came true, which shocked him even more, thinking of Liu Zheng's various miracles, so that even if he knew some entanglements between Liu Yu and Liu Zheng, Zou Jing also planned to come over to make a stand.

At this time, seeing that Liu Zheng was perfunctory, Zou Jingwan smiled: "Do you take people as a mirror?" Wouldn't it be more convenient to read history? Why did you go all the way to inquire about the people of Dong Thief? ”

In the past, in order to open the market in Yuyang, Xun Yu had some relationships with Zou Jing, and there were also contacts, and some eyeliner information was also handed over, and Zou Jing knew some.

Seeing that Zou Jing was getting bigger and bigger, his expression seemed to see through his intention to point to the world, Liu Zheng's expression was also slightly constricted, "It's the same, you shouldn't have inquired about Dong Zhuo's people first." The people behind the Guangyang incident should be caught, so that the brothers will not be distracted in the future. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions were slightly condensed when they heard this, and Gongsun Yue was also a little embarrassed.

Leaving Gongsun Zan that day, Liu Zheng and the others did not go back to Guangyang County, and rushed directly to Jundu County near Juyong Pass.

Liu Zheng would do this because the person who poisoned him was definitely related to Gongsun Zhan, and he was afraid of angering Gongsun Zhan, so he did not go to investigate the matter in person.

But "Mr. Wujiao", Liu Zheng was also very curious, so he didn't hide it from Gongsun Yue, and sent someone to go to the Guangyang branch to find out the eyeliner there, intending to investigate.

Guangyang is close to Jixian County, which is also prosperous, Liu Zheng naturally planted people there, and the scale is not small, and now it is in charge of Wu Yueqi, who came back with him south.

On that day, he would appear in front of the angel after Gongsun Chan arrived, and there was naturally an element of coincidence, but it was of course the result of layers of planning and intelligence collection.

Liu Zheng knows a little about the entanglement between "Mr. Wujiao" and Ma Riyan and others, even if "Mr. Wujiao" changes places with a shot, and can go deep into the official post to pretend to be a groom, there must be something behind it, and Liu Zheng of course wants to find this person along the vine.

Speaking of which, Liu Zheng had already heard the name of "Mr. Wujiao", but he was just talking about "Wujiao Daoist" at the beginning.

Later, when Liu Hongguang recruited Fangshi, Nan Guo Yannian once wrote a letter to ask Liu Zheng if he wanted to sneak into the West Garden, and after Liu Zheng refused with a companion like a tiger, Nan Guo Yannian also found a colleague who was interested in going in to inquire about some information, and knew that there was "Mr. Wujiao" Zuo Ci Zuo Yuanfang.

Under Gan Shi's hearsay, Zuo Ci is a bit utilitarian, but Liu Zheng has seen the romance of his previous life, and he is a little curious about Zuo Ci, who is respected by later generations as a half-immortal, and he didn't write a letter to let Nan Guo Yannian get in touch.

It's just that this letter has been going back and forth, because of the civil strife in Jizhou Black Mountain, the road is impassable, and it has been a long time, and when it comes again, it is already Liu Hong dead, and Zuo Ci has also been affected by He Jin, Dong Zhong and others, and I don't know where to flee the news.

Liu Zheng was a little sorry at the beginning, but he didn't expect to hear the other party's name in Youzhou one day.

Whether this "Mr. Wujiao" is Zuo Ci or not, I can't be sure, I only know that the Fang Shi who appeared in Guangyang is brave and useful, and it is certain that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

After some investigation in Guangyang, Liu Zheng also waited in Jundu County for a while, and when he came back, he didn't expect to get the news that Wu Yueqi was seriously injured and the rest of the important personnel were almost assassinated.

When this matter came to this, Liu Zheng naturally did not let Wu Yueqi and others investigate it again, but this result itself represents the other party's warning to himself, and it also shows that those people have a thorough understanding of the relationship between Wu Yueqi and others and him.

Something similar happened only once when Liu Bei of Zhuo County was too punctual, and he was able to directly attack the principal Wu Yueqi when his subordinates were able to inquire about intelligence, which in itself was unusual.

Gongsun Yue will be embarrassed, and he also thinks that Gongsun Chan should have the meaning of Gongsun Chan in this matter, and Liu Zheng is looking for someone to find out the news and did not hide it from him, but something happened, although he is open, and he also knows that Liu Zheng will not suspect him, but he is sandwiched on both sides, and there are still some people inside and out.

But Liu Zheng felt that even if Gongsun Chan spread eyeliner widely, he would never spend so much effort on him, and he would catch one of them.

Gongsun Chan benefited from the holy decree, even if Liu Zheng prevented him from killing the angels, and led troops to deter their white horse righteous followers, which was a bit rude, it was impossible for Gongsun Chan to vent his dissatisfaction and provoke Liu Zheng's anger when Liu Zheng was ready to bear the responsibility of revising the holy decree.

On the contrary, it is Liu Bei who will keep an eye on him, and this time he made a move, it should be that the person in charge here saw his intentions - Liu Zheng will participate in the revision of the holy decree, in fact, he wants the court and Liu Yu to know that he has a good relationship with Gongsun Zhan, and at the same time, he also told Liu Yu that he will try his best to ease the contradictory attitude between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan.

As soon as the holy decree was changed, Gongsun Chan accepted it, of course, it may not have affected Gongsun Zhan's opinion of him, and the people on Liu Bei's side had some guesses, and it was natural to find a way to beat him once.

Even this can be said to be a threat, telling Liu Zheng that the eyeliner under his hands is actually not so well hidden.

Since this incident happened, of course, Liu Zheng also sent someone back to Zhuo County to inform Xun Yu that it had rained heavily in those days, so he stayed in Jundu County, and also sent someone to inquire about some of the layouts he had done before.

After that, Xun Yu replied to the letter, saying that "don't be impatient, I don't have to worry", this kind of narcissism and confidence, Liu Zheng also read the letter, only to restrain those negative emotions with a smile, it happened that Zou Jing came over today, the weather was also good, they set off on the road, as for only twenty cavalry followed, it was also Zou Jing before leaving to remind not to take too many people into Shanggu County, so as not to anger the Hu people, Liu Zheng let those cavalry guard in Jundu County just in case.

Zou Jing also knew something about Guangyang, and seeing the awkward atmosphere, he glanced at Gongsun Yue, and changed the topic: "Zou remembered that Duan Gong advocated the extermination of Qiang in the past, and he was quite similar to Brother Ling. Although it is the Hu people in the east of Guangyang County that the cavalry captain is afraid of, if he is here, he can also report his name as a last resort. In that case, those Hu people will know that we are going to die. ”

"That is, we have been fighting against the Hu people for several years, and there are only about 20 people who have done this. If you really encounter the invasion of the Hu people, the eldest brother will also sacrifice himself and forget to die. ”

Gongsun Yue laughed, glanced at Liu Zheng, and quipped: "But maybe it's enough to report the name of Brother Deran on this trip." In recent years, the people of Youzhou have taken refuge in the upper valley, but it is indispensable to talk about the eight heavenly soldiers breaking the yellow scarf, such a shocking move is enough for the Hu people to be afraid. ”

Everyone smiled, thinking of the changes in the past, Liu Zheng was also a little embarrassed, and then looked at a few people who looked over from the side, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't say more about this kind of thing." I went to visit the teacher and asked about the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and if it was not necessary, I would not make any extraneous troubles. Be careful that the wall has ears, if the pro-Han Hu people listen to it, it will not be comfortable. ”

Suddenly a fast horse ran towards this side, the rider also looked behind him from time to time, as if he was checking something, Liu Zheng glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly and was a little curious, Zou Jing stopped the horse with interest, raised his head and said: "Liu Gongzi, it seems that something is going to happen, let's stop later, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

Zhang Fei said hello to Wen Renchang, Zhu Ming and other twenty people who fell behind him.

Seeing that many pedestrians on one side also avoided the side of the road, not only were they nervous, but some people took out their self-defense weapons and probed their brains with curiosity, Guan Yu smiled, "In the past, I heard that there are many troubles in the north, and the folk customs are also very strong, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”

In the distance, smoke and dust billowed behind the rider, and dozens of cavalrymen in exotic costumes shouted and rushed over, Zou Jing also glanced at those pedestrians, and subconsciously frowned, "That's right, the main thing is that they were pedestrians in the past, and the Hu people will never let go, and it is common for everyone to unite and fight the enemy together when they encounter the Hu people." After Liu Yuanjun took jurisdiction, there would be occasional accidents, and he could bring some weapons in case of emergency...... It's me Hermes-Epitek who is chasing! ”

Seeing that the first rider was slowly approaching, there were still blood stains on his clothes, but he looked like a Han man, Zou Jing shouted, his brows furrowed, Gongsun Yue suddenly clenched the iron spear, and said solemnly: "Brother Deran? ”

The dozens of horsemen and horsemen brandished scimitars and galloped arrogantly, making Liu Zheng also raise his eyebrows, he listened to Zou Jing's Han-Ming customs, and was a little hesitant, when he saw the rider suddenly change direction and run towards them, shouting, "Strong man save me!" Save me! ”

They were the only ones who were the most numerous, and they were the most well-equipped, making them a good place to seek refuge.

Seeing that the man on the horse was unkempt and ragged, Liu Zheng remembered what he had just said not to make any extraneous branches, and secretly cursed a crow's mouth, but he also pulled out the spear behind his back and shouted, "Your Excellency, just come here." ”

He shook his spear and shouted, "Zhu Ming! Array! ”

"Whoa!"

Zhu Ming shouted, "Archers, array!" ”

Twenty cavalrymen, including Zhu Ming, immediately drove their horses to the middle of the road, and in the process, they took off the big bow on their backs and drew the arrows from the quiver at their waists.

Twenty men were silent, lined up, bending their bows and arrows in one go.

The arrows were shining in the sun, and the men and horses were neat, which also made the dozens of Hu cavalry suddenly slow down.
