Liu Tong and the three of them bypassed Hanzhong, because the path was familiar, and they walked very fast.

On the way, I also heard some news, one is that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died a few years ago, and his son Liu Zhang ascended the throne. First, Li Dao and Guo Yan fell out, attacked each other, and fought inextricably, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of officials of the imperial court were fought over by them like playthings.

Lu Bu, who was defeated by the two before, also defected to Tao Qian, Tao Qian had always been worried about Liu Kuan's revenge, and was under the pressure of Qingzhou Xian Yufu, and also wanted to use Cao Cao and Lu Bu to help him defend Xuzhou, so he gladly accepted Lu Bu and let him garrison Xiaopei.

Soon after, Tao Qian died, giving way to Cao Cao, who was under the command of the troops, and Cao Cao took charge of Xuzhou Mu.

Another piece of news is that Jiangdong Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and became a powerful prince. Liu Tong thought to himself, although history has changed, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have finally become princes.

The three of them soon came to Wu Ji's house and dismounted, but saw the word "happy" pasted on the doors and windows. Wu Ji shouted "Mother" and pushed the door in, but saw that there was no one in the house.

As soon as he turned around and went out, he saw Wu Xing walking from the river with a vegetable basket in one hand and Li Lan's slender waist in the other. Wu Ji ran quickly, Wu Xing and Li Lan were stunned at first, and then extremely embarrassed. Wu Ji was happy, one in each hand, and pulled Li Lan and Wu Xing back.

Liu Tong saluted the two, "Congratulations, congratulations, a lover has finally become a family!" ”

Li Lan squirmed and looked at Wu Ji cautiously, Wu Ji reacted, "Yes, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." As he spoke, he knelt down to Wu Xing, kowtowed and shouted, "Father! ”

Wu Xing was stunned, tears welled up, Li Lan came over to hug Wu Ji, and she was also in tears.

That night, Li Lan made a sumptuous dinner, and Wu Xing took out the only jar of rice wine in the house, and the house was full of joy. Wang Bing likes to be quiet, so after eating some, he went back to the house to rest.

Liu Tong saw that the knot in the heart of Wu Xing's family had been opened, and he brought up the old words again, and said: "General Wu, Aunt Li was born in a big family, how can she be trapped in the mountains and forests to live, the general is good at martial arts, and he should win fame." How about going to Yecheng with us tomorrow? ”

Wu Xing was reluctant to leave, but he fell in love with Li Lan and was willing to follow and protect each other, but now that Li Lan has married him, Wu Ji has also accepted himself, and he really does not want Li Lan's mother and son to be separated, so that Li Lan will suffer here with him. looked at Li Lan, Li Lan was also in general thought, and nodded slightly at Wu Xing.

Wu Xing stood up and bowed to Liu Tong, "Meet the son!" Liu Kuan was not there, and he saluted Liu Tongtong, which can be regarded as recognizing Liu Kuan as the lord.

Liu Tong laughed and helped Wu Xing up. A few people were happy and drank again. Liu Tong had never drunk alcohol, and he was separated from Long Duan'er, so he was in a melancholy mood, a little uncontrollable, and drank too much. I fell asleep that night and didn't wake up until noon.

When Wang Bing saw Liu Tong wake up, he was stunned, "If I don't look at it, you will be presumptuous!" "If it weren't for Li Lan's presence, he would have been tortured a long time ago.

After Liu Tong saw that Wu Xing and the others had already packed up, he set off with everyone, and after coming to Weixing, Liu Tong bought a horse for Wu Xing, and wanted to buy a carriage for Li Lan, but was stopped by Wu Xing, saying that both his wife and his wife could ride horses, and they could ride a horse together. Liu Tong heard that Li Lan could ride a horse, so he bought another one, and Li Lan got on the horse, but the charming person was also heroic.

Everyone rode all the way, stayed and ate and drank all the way, Liu Tong was lavish, there was nothing to do all the way, and he soon arrived in Yecheng.

Liu Tong and others first replied to Hua Jun, and Hua Jun and Zhang Li learned that Zhang Zu intended to pardon Zhao Sheng and the Five Elements and Five Disciples, and they couldn't help but burst into tears. For Gu Yuan Dan, Hua Jun heard about it when he was young, it is indeed a sacred object of the Shangqing Dynasty, and Tianshuzi gave it to him, which shows the importance that Shangqing Gate attaches to Cangchunzi, and it can also be seen that Chi Songzi regretted being used by the court to punish Cangchunzi's whole family.

Hua Jun said: "In the early years of the Han Dynasty, I ruled by inaction, and my Taoist status was transcendent. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and the three Qing Dynasty were dissatisfied. Emperor Han and Emperor first promised the position of the national teacher, punished Cangchunzi and broke his promise, my Taoist is really unbearable, in the long run, Taoism will have no place to stand. The three Qing and the Zhengyi alliance are inevitable. The real great virtue and great merit is to rebuild the Qiankun, the glorious road home! As for the dispute between Zhang Zu and Chi Songzi, it is a dispute between friends, encouraging each other and secretly competing. ”

Hua Jun distributed five Gu Yuan Dan to Wang Bing, Zhang Li and Liu Kuan and his son, and took the lead in swallowing it, and everyone swallowed it one after another.

Hua Jun looked at Liu Kuan and said: "The foundation of the north is beginning to take shape, Zihua, your father and son can practice the Five Elements Division, but after practicing the Five Elements Division, you are not allowed to re-enter the world, and you are not allowed to intervene in the world disputes, this is a strict rule of Taoism, you should think clearly." Five elements and five disciples, the remnants of three people, I see the east of Yecheng, Handan Mountain is quite aura, I have nothing else to ask for, your father and son for me to rebuild the Five Elements View in Handshan, my Five Elements Gate to reopen the mountain and establish a faction, as for the third junior sister, the fourth junior brother, if you want, you can continue to assist Zihua to promote crops, build water conservancy, I just want to accept disciples to preach, and live for a long time. ”

Liu Kuan hurriedly said yes, Hua Jun and others are their father and son, they have been displaced from north to south, they have worked hard, and they are very gracious.

"Three uncles, in troubled times, my Huaxia is in danger, if we don't hurry up to end the war and rebuild the world, Huaxia will fall into hundreds of years of suffering, and even have the danger of extinction.

Hua Jun knew that Liu Kuan came from the later generations, was familiar with history, understood Liu Kuan's meaning, looked at Liu Tong and said: "Go to the big river, as far as personal cultivation is concerned, for the benefit of all people, and for a thousand years, it is true cultivation." Liu Tong had to say yes.

Half a year later, with Liu Kuan's investment and the help of Tian Yu, Wuqiu Jian, and Zhao Yun, the Hanshan Five Elements View was completed. Hua Jun, Wang Bing, Zhang Li and others moved into the Five Elements Temple.

In the autumn of 195 AD, Yuan Shu took advantage of Tao Qian's illness and died, giving way to Cao Cao, Xuzhou was not stable, and thought that Ji Ling was the general, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were the deputy generals to attack Xuzhou, and Cao Cao held on to Xuyi and Huaiyin, and the two sides won and lost each other.

Cao Cao's alliance with Lü Bu defected and took the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu defeated Cao Cao and occupied Pengcheng, Guangling and other places in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao went out once, encountered Yuan Shu tribe to chase and kill, fortunately Qin Zhen's father Qin Shao impersonated, Yuan Shu tribe mistakenly thought he was Cao Cao, so he killed Qin Shao, Cao Cao escaped, after which Cao Cao recognized Qin Zhen as a righteous son and changed his name to Cao Zhen. Cao Cao led his subordinates to flee to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao. Stationed in Xinye, guarding against Yuan Shu for Liu Biao.

After Liu Tong came back from Hanzhong and learned about the war between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, he said to Liu Kuan: "Father, I have been recuperating for many years in the seven northern states, and Xuzhou is the state of my father's governor. ”

Liu Kuan nodded and said, "Gongda and Yuan Zhi also mean the same. What is difficult for my father is that your uncle has urged me to send troops to meet the emperor several times, but I don't know what Dahe wants? ”

Liu Tong left Liu Kuan's desk, closed the door of the study, and said: "When grandpa was alive, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others wanted to make grandpa the emperor. But we can't let anyone else hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. ”

"Well, how is that good?" Liu Kuan was upright and asked humbly.

Liu Tong straightened his waist and said: "We can do the feudal monarch and minister, but there is no need to be hypocritical, and now it seems that targeted elimination is the best policy." Liu Xie is already the source of trouble, and as soon as Liu Xie died, his father was Han orthodoxy. If you pick it up and die in my north, you'll be in big trouble. This matter is also something that can be done. ”

Liu Kuan was not a loyal person, so after hearing this, he nodded and said: "If Liu Xie dies and the princes are all kings, won't it exacerbate the war?" ”

"Father, now the princes are all kings, but their names are different. As soon as Liu Xie died, my governor's palace was orthodox in the world, and capable people with lofty ideals would come as well as cross the river. Liu Tong paused and said: "It's inconvenient for anyone to go to this matter, so I'll go there myself." If I am not mistaken, Liu Xie will have escaped from Chang'an and crossed the Yellow River to the north recently. ”

When Liu Kuan heard that Liu Tong was going to kill people and to kill the emperor, his heart tightened, when did Liu Tong become so cold-blooded and decisive? I didn't like it, and I left with my sleeves up.

In the spring of 196, Xian Yu sent troops from Qingzhou to attack Dongguan and Langya. Liu Kuan personally led the First Army to break through Peiguo.

At the same time, Lü Bu's general Hao Meng, a native of Hanoi, launched a rebellion under the instigation of Yuan Shu, and led his troops to attack Liu Biaozhi's Xiapi, and the city was so strong that it could not be attacked, Lü Bu did not know who rebelled, and led his family to flee to the Gaoshun camp.

Gao Shun asked, "Does the general have something to hide?" ”

Lü Bu replied: "Outside the city are the voices of Hanoi people. ”

Gao guessed that Hao Meng rebelled, so he led his troops to Xiapi to quell the rebellion, and fired the bow and crossbow to kill Hao Meng's army, and returned to the camp at dawn. Hao Meng's department will Cao Xing anyway, and Hao Meng fights, Hao Meng stabbed Cao Xing, Cao Xing cut off Hao Meng's arm, and Gao Shun took advantage of the situation to cut off Hao Meng's head.

Gao Shun came to see Lu Bu with the injured Cao Xuan on the bed, and Lu Bu asked, "Who else is the accomplice?" Cao Xuan replied to Chen Gong's accomplice, and Chen Gong was sitting next to Lu Bu at that time, his face was red, and everyone else saw it. Lu Bu did not pursue it because Chen Gong was a general. Lu Bu praised Cao Xing and let him lead the rest of Hao Meng's army.

Liu Kuan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and said to the generals: "Xuzhou will be available soon." ”
