From the sun to Anyi, the distance of less than seventy miles, it took half a day, Li Ru and Lu Bu and their party arrived at Anyi City under the "escort" of Wang Shun. Temporarily living in the post house, reported by Wang Shun to Li Li.

Li Ru and Lu Bu, these two are world-famous figures, Li Li didn't dare to slack off when he heard about it, and immediately sent someone to inform Liu Yuan. At this time, Liu Yuan was watching the army in the camp outside the city.

Liu Qiu has been on the side for nearly two years, and Liu Qiu has obviously matured a lot. Fighting on the battlefield is the most able to hone people, accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, and some of the "childishness" on Liu Qiu's body has been wiped out.

Dressed in bright armor, his appearance is slightly ordinary, and there is a slight scar on the corner of his forehead, but it makes Liu Qiu even more wild, with a kind of heroic spirit. Not long ago, Liu Qiuxin was promoted to the general of Pingxi in Great Xia, with a knight of the first rank, and 300 households in the city for the release of the marquis. He was ordered to cooperate with Subu Chiyi to train the Hedong Xia army.

The cavalry army of 7,000, the infantry army of 8,000, and 15,000 people, selected from the infantry and cavalry of the Hedong Xia army, this is a large army that Liu Yuan intends to set up, and the army prepared for the westward entry into Guanzhong.

Looking at the spirit of the army, Liu Yuan was very satisfied.

"Brother Wang, do you know why Gu promoted you to a knight?" On the platform, Liu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the soldiers practicing in the school field, and asked Liu Qiudao beside him.

Liu Yuan hadn't affectionately called himself "Brother Wang" for a long time, Liu Qiu had some complicated emotions in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yuan's back, and replied: "Our army wants to attack Guanzhong next, and the king wants to use his brother!" ”

"It's called Brother Lonely!" Liu Yuan turned his head and stared at Liu Qiu.

"Big ...... Brother Wang! It seems a little difficult to speak, and Liu Qiu is quite difficult to turn around.

"Over the years, I have suppressed you in Meiji, have you ever been lonely?"

"Don't dare!" Liu Qiu bent down and bowed: "The king is the king of the world, he is the king of the world, he is subdued by the world, his ministers are happy to submit, and he is willing to drive the king!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yuan patted Liu Qiu on the shoulder, Liu Qiu was much taller and stronger than Liu Yuan, and he was slightly shorter. Liu Yuan turned to the west and said leisurely: "Since the first and the last, my royal family has a descendant, and there are few people. The lonely sons are still young, embarrassed by the big responsibility, and relieve the worries of the lonely. Lone uses you as a general, just to want you to become the first general of my royal family, do you understand Lonely's painstaking efforts? ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan said "sincerely", Liu Qiu couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart, and met Liu Yuan's "valued" gaze, his expression was a little moved. The brothers looked at each other, and it was rare to have such a close time in so many years.

His lips squirmed a few times, and Liu Qiu wanted to say something, so he heard Liu Yuan pointing to the west and said excitedly: "Lonely and hard-hearted, unify the north and south of the grassland, and attack the Han in the south." In the past two years, there have been countless hard battles before they have to annex the state and occupy the east of the river. However, at the beginning of the great cause, in that pass, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, so beautiful and rich, is waiting to be conquered alone. As long as I occupy this place, my Xiongnu Xia Kingdom, in this hinterland of China, will have a place to settle down! Complete the feat that even the ancestors of Mao Dun and Lao Shang failed to do! ”

Infected by Liu Yuan's emotions, Liu Qiu knelt directly on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen is willing to fight to the death for Brother Wang, for Great Xia!" ”

"Get up!" Liu Yuan bent down to personally help Liu Qiu up, and said gently: "You go!" ”

Looking at Liu Qiu's back, Liu Yuan's face calmed down, this Wang brother is a man of temperament, after observing for such a long time, he does have some talents and can be used. However, there should be precautions or there must be, Liu Yuan knows that in the bottom of his heart, there is a mustard for the call for Zheng and the matter of concubines, and it is difficult to eliminate the mustard in this life.

"King!" Long Wei stepped onto the stage in a few steps, interrupting Liu Yuan's thoughts.

"Lord Li Li sent someone to report that there are Chang'an guests in Anyi!" As he spoke, he told Li Ru and Lu Bu about their coming to vote.

Hearing the news, Liu Yuan's expression was a little surprised, a little surprised. Decisively put an end to the army and returned to the city of Anyi.

……

"Wenyou, I haven't seen you for many years, and now I am reunited in Anyi, I am not surprised!" As soon as he returned to the city, Liu Yuan summoned Li Ru and Lu Bu to the mansion, sat in the hall, and said with a smile.

Compared with a few years ago, Li Ru is thinner and has an indifferent expression, but there is a flash of wisdom that cannot be hidden. Liu Yuan had some "expectations" in his heart, and asked: "Hearing the changes in Chang'an, Dong Zhongying died, and he is not worried about anything else, but he is worried about Wen You's safety." Now that Wen You is here, it can be regarded as a relief! ”

Regarding Liu Yuan's "nonsense", Li Ru naturally knew in his heart, and after talking about the scene, he still bowed his hand with gratitude: "Thank you King Xia for thinking about it, I am now a homeless person, come to defect, and hope that King Xia will take him in!" ”

"That's nature!" Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Wenyou talent, now that you are here to vote, you are overjoyed, how can you refuse it." With the help of Wenyou, a lonely cause can be expected! ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan lifted himself to the ground so high, Li Ru didn't have much turmoil in his heart, let alone be self-conscious, but chuckled and flattered Liu Yuan: "The king can develop and grow the declining Xiongnu, and the people of the grassland, come south to compete for the glory of China, is a generation of heroes, admirable!" ”

The two of you praise it, I praise it, and they talk happily. Seeing this, Lu Bu next to him felt that he was being ignored, coughed lightly, and interrupted the two of them, "You and me", attracting attention.

Liu Yuan looked at Lu Bu, touched his mustache, and said with a smile: "It's the fault of ignoring the general, it's lonely!" ”

"King Xia, this is General Fengxian!" Li Ru pointed to Lu Bu and introduced to Liu Yuan.

"The name of the general flying general, Lone has also heard of it, and now he will be treated favorably when he comes to vote!" Liu Yuan said to Lu Bu.

Seeing Liu Yuan's attitude, Lu Bu felt a little calmer, and replied: "Thank you King Xia, the last general is willing to serve King Xia and conquer the world!" ”

"Lone still remembers that when he was in Pingyin, General Wen led the army, but Lone was 'embarrassed and fled north'!" Liu Yuan suddenly mentioned the friendship with Lu Bu in Henan in the sixth year of Zhongping.

Hearing Liu Yuan talk about the past that he was almost unimpressed, Lu Bu chuckled in his heart, this Xia King would not hold a grudge because of that "grudge". But seeing Liu Yuan's smile and banquet, the closeness did not seem to be fake, and he was a little confused.

"The general doesn't have to misunderstand, Lone just suddenly remembered the 'friendship' of the year, and he sighed in vain!" Liu Yuan smiled faintly: "Today's good ministers are brave enough to vote in the future, and they should be a big white." Tonight, set up a banquet alone, go up and down with Anyi, and welcome the two! ”

"King Xie Xia!"

……

When Liu Yuan met with Li and Lu, in a room of the post house in Anyi City, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao sat opposite each other. Gao Shun had a cold face and was silent, while Zhang Liao's expression was a little dazed and tangled.

"It seems that the general is really going to take refuge in Hu Xia!" After a long time, Zhang Liao sighed: "Do we really want to do it?" ”

As a child of the Han family who lived in the border county of Bingzhou since childhood, Zhang Liao naturally did not have a good impression of the Hu people, and now that Lu Bu wanted to take refuge in Liu Yuan, he was naturally disappointed in his heart.

"I am loyal to the general, and whatever choice the general makes, I will obey the order!" Gao Shun didn't think so much, his expression was serious, but there was also some bitterness in his voice. looked at Zhang Liao: "Along the way, Wen Yuan has intentions, and he knows that he has intersected with you." Now while the general and Li Ru are away, you can do it yourself, as soon as possible, I won't stop you! ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his face was obviously moved, and he looked at Gao Shun and said: "Brother is willing to go with a certain one, there are many heroes in Kanto, you and I go to defect, even if it is a pawn, it is better than serving Hu Xia and being scolded by others!" ”

"Wen Yuan doesn't need to be persuaded anymore, let's hurry up and leave! Wait for the general's return later, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave! ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said to Gao Shun: "I hope that in other days, you and I will not meet on the battlefield!" ”

After speaking, he got up and went out, did not leave immediately, and turned to a place, which was where Xun Yu was.
