In the county government of Baxian County, Zhao Yun and Wuqiu Jian came to pay tribute to Wang Ling'er and meet this senior sister. Wang Ling'er removed the mask and was shy. Liu Kuan took Wang Ling'er's hand and invited her to go to Jicheng with him again, but Wang Linger did not allow it.

Liu Kuansui said: "Senior sister, after I pacify Gongsun Zan of Liaodong, I will go to Qingzhou to meet you, after you return to Qingzhou, you can gradually arrange for people to immigrate to Changchun County, be sure to guard the gate of Qingzhou, and do not go out to fight again." I will tell my father to supply grain and grass to the Qingzhou Army in due course. ”

Liu Kuan, Wu Qiujian, Zhao Yun, and Wang Ling'er gathered in the inner hall for dinner that night, and Xian Yufu took the generals to the military camp to celebrate and drink.

Wang Ling'er saw that Zhao Yun was young and heroic, and she liked it very much. Wu Qiu Jian pulled Zhao Yun and asked east and west. "Second Senior Brother, why don't I want to come early? My master told me a long time ago that my senior brother was benefiting the people in Youzhou, and I had long wanted to serve in front of the army. But Master said that I was not good at learning and would not let me go down the mountain. Recently, I learned about Liu Youzhou's order to seek talents, and the master asked me to go down the mountain. ”

Zhao Yun was smart, and when he saw that Wang Ling'er was shy, he took Wuqiu Jian to the courtyard to compare. Liu Kuanxin said, or Zilong has eyes, so he took Wang Ling'er's hand and asked about Wang Ling'er's situation in Qingzhou, chatting and chatting, Liu Kuan saw that Wang Ling'er was concave and convex, drank some wine, her face was ruddy, and she was charming, so she couldn't help but hug her into her arms, bowed her head and kissed her.

On the second day, Wang Ling'er was not suitable for the intimate relationship with Liu Kuan for a while, and heard that Liu Kuan's army was going to Liaodong, so he left Baxian with a contradiction in his heart and led the Qingzhou army back.

Liu Kuan sent Xian Yufu, Zhao Yun, and Bu Dugen to lead 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to return to Jicheng with 15,000 Black Mountain soldiers, and he took Wuqiu Jian and Ke Bineng to lead 10,000 cavalry to Xiangping day and night.

Liu Kuan led the cavalry to Xiangping day and night. Yan Rou and Tian Yu had already surrounded Xiangping City, and after Liu Kuan arrived, Yan Rou and Tian Yu came to greet them and welcomed Liu Kuan and others into the big tent.

"Second brother, there is something you have to forgive the younger brother." Yan Rou saw that Liu Kuan was seated, so he confessed to Liu Kuan, and Tian Yu snickered on the side.

Liu Kuan felt strange and said, "The third brother has always acted steadily, what caused the third brother a headache?" ”

Yan Rou turned her head and shouted outside the account, "Get out of here!" Liu Kuan looked out of the account, only to see Liu Tong's thief's head and thief's brain probe coming in, sticking out his tongue and grimacing at Liu Kuan.

Liu Kuan knocked on the desk, "Bastard, is it child's play in the army, how did you get in?" Liu Kuan's face was angry, but he was full of joy in his heart. This kid is too bold, what a bastard!

Liu Kuan beckoned, and Liu Tong took the ass into the big tent. Wu Qiu Jian took Liu Tong into his arms.

Yan Rou continued: "Second brother, when I marched through Yuyang from Shanggu, Tong'er and Lou Ban came on horseback, saying that they wanted to join the army with me, and I asked them to escort them back, but he refused to live or die. ”

Liu Tong raised his head and said, "Third uncle, didn't you say that I am strong in martial arts and a fierce general?" Why can't you join the army? "Liu Tong is seven years old this year, and Lou Ban is two years older than Liu Tong.

Liu Kuan shook his head when he saw the two of them and said, "Let you go for the time being, and then I will punish you after I finish discussing military affairs." Don't go back yet!" Seeing this, Liu Dian hurriedly pulled Liu Tong and Lou Ban out to play.

"Let's talk about the situation", Liu Kuan saw that after Liu Tong left, he sat down and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Tian Yu got up and said: "Master Hou, since Gongsun Zhan was relieved of the siege of Guanzi City by us, on the grounds that Han Dang Taishou did not provide him with grain and grass, he plundered the eastern Xianbei tribe and the Wuhuan tribe, and even robbed the state pastor to give the rewards to the various departments, and constantly expanded the number of people. Since the recent rebellion, I took the opportunity to capture Yuyang, I and Yan Taishou prepared to attack him, he went away to Liaoxi, I took the lead in Liaoxi to set up defenses, but he took a detour to take Xiangping. Gongsun Dutai was fighting outside, Xiangping was empty, and Liu Bei's thief pretended to protect the whole people and surrendered to Gongsun Zhan. Our army and Gongsun Zhan's army have been fighting recently, and they have suffered mutual damage, but they have not let him escape. The city has been under siege for more than a month. ”

Liu Kuan nodded, "How is the grain and grass in Xiangping City?" ”

"General Gongsun Du has been running Xiangping for a long time, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are sufficient." Yan Rou replied.

Liu Kuan looked around at the generals and said: "Gongsun Zhan is a hero, how can he be harsh, and he has been bullied by his departments for a long time, after my father and son came to Youzhou, they have different political views, and their rebellion is the only way." The first emperor was quite dissatisfied with him at the time, Gongsun Chan and my Liu family will die sooner or later, and there will be a battle. I told Han Dangtai to cut off his food and grass and monitor him, he was also forced to have no way out, and today's events were expected. At this time of chaos in the Central Plains, I should quickly pacify, recuperate, and wait for a hundred things to be lifted today, and the war cannot be delayed. I know that Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, and his name is important and sympathetic to the people, and his depravity is understandable. ”

Tian Yu heard the words and said, "Master Hou wants to recruit Liu Bei? Tian Yu does not call Liu Kuan a senior brother on formal occasions, and he is not as arrogant as Qiu Jian.

Liu Kuan nodded and said, "Even if you can't surrender, you can separate him from Gongsun Zhan." Tomorrow I'll go to meet Gongsun Zhan! ”

On that day, Liu Kuan arranged for the generals to go back to the camp to rest.

But he said that Gongsun Zhan had always been very depressed, and before Liu Yu came to Youzhou, he was in charge of Youzhou alone, fighting in the south and the north, and made great achievements. Gongsun Zhan knew that Liu Yu was lenient, and thought that he should be able to make a big show, but he never thought that after Liu Yu's father and son arrived, they would take precautions against themselves in every way, not only did they not supply grain and grass, did not replenish the soldiers, but also garrisoned troops around them. In the past, he was the main force of the Youzhou army, but after he lost his troops in the battle with Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, Liu Yu's father and son used Youzhou's financial resources to expand the army, and they were marginalized in just two years, and their strength was weak.

Gongsun Zhan drank the stuffy wine, saw Liu Bei bowing his head and pondering on the side, and said: "Brother Xuande, now that Liu Kuan's army is here, the enemy army is several times larger than mine, and Han Gongyi's army is also on the way back, Brother Tai can have a good strategy to teach me." ”

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, who was angry beside him, and said: "Brother Bogui is a loyal and patriotic person, Liu Youzhou is lenient, and he will be able to understand Brother Bogui, now Xiangping has become a place of death, Brother Bogui might as well strike the army with Ji Hou, please let Ji Hou get out of the way, let me and others lead the troops to join the Kwantung princes, go to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and make meritorious contributions for the Han Dynasty." Once Brother Bogui fish into the sea, he can have a grand plan again! ”

"Hey, that's all there is to it! Thank you Brother Xuande for your advice. Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan raised his glass and toasted Liu Bei. Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei looked ugly on the side, and they stopped talking.

On the second day, as soon as the sun rose, Liu Kuan led the army to the outside of Xiangping City. Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Gongsun Xu and others led the army out of the city to line up.

Liu Kuan hit the horse forward, and Tian Yu, Yan Rou, Wu Qiujian and others also followed, "Is it okay to wait for the pavilion?" Brother Xuande and Brother Yun are all right? Liu Kuan stopped his horse and hugged his fists, and greeted the people who ushered in him, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei returned the salute, Guan Yu looked ashamed, and turned his head to look into the distance.

Liu Bei stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, Bogui was forced by that Han Dang, and he did a helpless move, and now the Kwantung armies are discussing the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now he is not talented, and he is willing to be a guarantee, please be magnanimous and magnanimous, and let the capital pavilion wait for the army to go to the crusade against Dong Zhuo." I don't know what it means? Liu Kuan was very moved after hearing this, Youzhou needs peace, Gongsun Chan leaves, and Youzhou will undoubtedly have internal peace from now on.

Liu Kuan nodded, and when Gongsun Zhan saw this, he stepped forward: "A little suspicious, I hope the general won't give up!" Willing to crusade against Dong Rebellion for the state pastor! ”

Liu Kuan saw Gongsun Chan for the first time, and said in his heart, it is really better to be famous than to meet, Gongsun Chan has a great figure, a handsome face, and a loud voice. Gongsun Chan was also looking at Liu Kuan.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan saw a boy holding a copper stick in his hand and beating the horse past Liu Kuan, and most of his body was covered by the horse's head.

The boy came to Gongsun Chan and asked in a childish voice, "Are you Duting Hou Gongsun Chan?" ”

Gongsun Chan was very surprised, clenched his fists and said, "It's exactly below." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the boy suddenly attacked him with a stick, and said, "It's you dog thief who beats you, and you want to kill my grandfather!" ”

Gongsun Chan was not guarded, and handed over the weapon to Gongsun Xu beside him before going out of battle, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but saw that the copper stick was coming in the wind, and he was really angry, and changed direction halfway, and with a bang, Gongsun Chan's head was smashed flat, and Gongsun Chan's body was tilted to the left, rolling and falling to the ground.
