If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have the strength at this time, Cai Yong really hated having to jump up and beat Liu Xie with the courtesy of the monarch. It's too lacking! When did he suffer this kind of sin? Even if he is as tyrannical as Dong Zhuo, he treats himself with great respect.

Faint!

Seeing Cai Yong closing his eyes and ignoring himself, Liu Xie's eyes rolled, and he turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Come on, Cai Zhonglang's residual poison has not been cleared, and he needs to be poured a few more times." ”

In order to stop his stomach from being tortured, Cai Yong had to open his eyes, but Liu Xie's eyes were not very friendly. Liu Xie didn't care either, and continued: "Cai Zhonglang, I understand that you want to die, but I will never allow you to die now." Do you know that although Li Dao and the others have been temporarily appeased, once you die, they will inevitably be worried, and once they make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

“…… The Holy One should call himself I. ”

"Ah, okay, as long as you promise not to die, I'll pay attention to it later." Liu Xie couldn't laugh or cry, and said casually.

“…… Holy Lord, when I die, I can make many people live with face......"

"But it will also make many people sad and sad, let others not say it, can Cai Zhonglang bear to leave your daughter to live alone? You know, without your protection, she is a weak woman, who can she rely on in the future? Now that the world is so chaotic, if it falls into the hands of bad people......"

"Zhao Ji ......" Not to mention, Liu Xie's words really touched Cai Yong's heart, and the only thing he couldn't rest assured about in this world was his daughter Cai Yan.

Suicide is often an impulse, and when this urge passes, he will not let him die. Cai Yong wanted to die, but he also thought of one thing with Wang Yun, that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and lewd during his reign, and he didn't do anything good in the harem of the Han family. Now Dong Zhuo is dead, but the face of the Han family still needs to be washed with blood. Cai Yong knew that he was quite used by Dong Zhuo when he was alive, and in the eyes of many people, he was Dong Zhuo's comrade, and he is begging for death now, but he also wants to use his death to give an explanation to the Han family.

It's just that now Liu Xie doesn't want Cai Yong to die, just because of a little face, he will lose a virtuous talent, and Liu Xie won't do such a loss-making business. Isn't it just a shame, anyway, the Han family is like this now, and the people who should be lost have already been lost, even if they lose it again, it's nothing. It's not terrible to be embarrassed, the key is to get back the lost face in the future, that's enough. As for some false names, it doesn't matter.

Liu Xie's attitude of not being famous, made Cai Yong speechless, but Lu Bu on the side agreed with Liu Xie's views from the bottom of his heart. What is the face, the key is to fall into the benefit.

"Holy Thoughts......

"I've thought about it for a long time. In short, I will not allow you to die. If you dare to die secretly again, I will find trouble with your daughter, and you will not be at peace under the Nine Springs. ”

Cai Yong was very helpless about Liu Xie's rogue remarks, he knew in his heart that Liu Xie was trying not to let himself threaten his daughter with his short-term views, but such words and deeds were really not what an emperor should do.

"Holy one, the sin is not as good as the ...... family"

"Come on, I don't need you to teach me this, I know. But when it is very timely, you don't think that I am just scaring you, I am still very good at talking. If you don't believe me, try your daughter's lifelong happiness. ”

Regardless of whether Liu Xie will really trouble Cai Yan after Cai Yong's death, Cai Yong doesn't dare to try, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if this emperor is serious? When I regret it, I have nowhere to buy medicine.

……

By the time Wang Yun and others arrived at Cai's mansion, Cai Yong had been "persuaded" by Liu Xie and promised not to seek death and life, not only that, but he also agreed to Liu Xie's appointment and was willing to serve as the county guard of Nan'an County. Liu Xie's decision to let Cai Yong leave Chang'an was also deliberate, first of all, Liu Xie believed that Cai Yong would not collude with Li Dao and others in order to avenge Dong Zhuo, and Li Xie and others would not feel uneasy about Liu Xie's transfer of them from Chang'an after seeing Cai Yong as the county guard of Nan'an County. The second is that Cai Yong's personal ability is still very strong, compared to Wang Yunlai, he is even only strong but not weak, with him sitting in Nan'an, Liu Xie does not have to worry about major changes in the west of Chang'an, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou lead troops to attack, with Cai Yong, they can completely use Li Dao and Guo Yan to resist. The last reason was that Liu Xie was worried that Wang Yun would kill Cai Yong under the pretext of being away in Chang'an.

Leaving Chang'an and walking around, Liu Xie seemed to be necessary. The lack of talent is the biggest shortcoming of Liu Xie today, although Wang Yun and others are available, but after all, they are all old, and if they want to revive the Han family, it is not possible to do it in three or five years. There is no successor, which is the most headache for Liu Xie. Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many things that need to be done in person now, it is necessary to go out and recruit some talents who can be recruited.

It is true that the imperial court can recruit talents through recruitment, but the problem is that all talented people have a little strange temper, if you recruit them, he can do it, this alone is enough to make people annoying, and today's social atmosphere, people can't punish the imperial court.

You need to find it, and you have to hurry up, because you may be recruited by someone else if you are late. Liu Xie loves the Three Kingdoms, Jin Ge Iron Horse, but there are few men who don't love it. Regarding games with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xie doesn't know how many times he has played. It is also thanks to the blessing of those games that Liu Xie has a certain understanding of those well-known figures in the Three Kingdoms. Especially those big names, Liu Xie knows everything clearly.

Of course, the prerequisite for recruiting talent is to wait until the situation stabilizes. If you want to attract the phoenix, you must first plant the sycamore, otherwise even if Liu Xie really meets a virtuous talent, I am afraid that people will excuse themselves. And before dealing with the things around him, Liu Xie didn't plan to tell the ministers immediately that he was going to go out to visit Xian.

When Wang Yun knew that Liu Xie appointed Cai Yong as the county guard of Nan'an County, he did not say anything against it, but his expression, a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that this Uncle Wang's mood was not very beautiful at this time. Seeing that Cai Yong was fine, Yang Biao and the others said goodbye and left after a few more words of persuasion, and only Liu Xie, Wang Yun and Cai Yong were left in Cai Yong's room, as for Lu Bu, Wang Yun had already found a reason to send him away.

"Situ, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't always keep a straight face." Liu Xie took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said to Wang Yun.

"What else can the old minister say? The saint doesn't care about the face of the Han family, and the old minister is an outsider, so what is there to say. Wang Yun said with a straight face.

"Situ, I lost my face, and if I want to get it back, I can only rely on my own efforts. The Han family has fallen to the point where it is today, and it is not the responsibility of one person, nor should it be borne by one person. Dong Zhuo deserves to die, he is the culprit, and he is innocent of death, but he can't be implicated too widely. General Huangfu led his troops to capture Yiwu and annihilate the Dong family's Manmen, I think it's enough. I think that when Dong Zhuo was in power, he didn't talk about others, just Situ You, didn't you bend over Dong Zhuo before. ”

"The old minister is a false snake." Wang Yun argued.

"Yes, I know Situ, you are trying to curry favor with Dong Zhuo at the expense of your personal reputation for the sake of punishing Dong Zhuo. But Situ, how do you think that others are all people who tend to be inflammatory? Others don't say it, take Situ your best friend Cai Zhonglang as an example, is he the kind of person who easily bends his waist for fame and fortune? ”

"Uh......" Wang Yun suddenly found that he was surrounded by Liu Xie.

"Situ, the current situation is not stable, the Xiliang Army is like a sharp sword hanging over the head, the slightest carelessness may fall on the heads of you and me, this is really not the time to engage in liquidation and make people panic. We need to protect ourselves now, we need to be loyal to our own strength, whether it is the Xiliang Army or Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, they are not worthy of entrusting their lives. ”

“…… Then I don't know what the Holy Lord plans to do with the Xiliang Army? Wang Yun was silent for a moment and asked.

Hearing Wang Yun's question, Liu Xie's heart was relieved, knowing that the stubborn old man in front of him was moved by his own words, and acquiesced in his disposal of Cai Yong.

"The Xiliang army is powerful, and it must be handled carefully. I wonder what Szeto thinks about this? Liu Xie didn't say what he thought immediately, but asked Wang Yun instead.

"Fragmentation?"

"How to differentiate? How to disintegrate? Situ, just as we don't trust the Xiliang Army, then Li Dao and Guo Yan don't necessarily really trust us. At this time, to divide and disintegrate, it will only force them to unite and jump over the wall in a hurry. ”

"Then what is the Holy Father going to do?" Cai Yong on the side asked.

“…… If you want to take it, you must give it first. Liu Xie put on a high-ranking appearance with Zhizhu in his hand, but his age made Wang Yun and Cai Yong feel angry and funny when they met.

……

Li Dao has been living a good life recently, and he was originally worried that the imperial court would liquidate him, but he didn't expect that he would be knighted first and then knighted, and he would be a step closer than when Dong Zhuo was there. However, Li Dao has been a little uncomfortable these days, usually at this time he has already taken his own soldiers out of the camp to have fun, but now Dong Zhuo is no longer there, and the imperial court has also explicitly forbidden the Xiliang army to go out to disturb the people again. In the past, he could still use the lack of food and salary as an excuse, although Dong Zhuo had never shortened Li Dao's food and drink when he was there, but even if he went out at that time, Dong Zhuo would not care.

But now it doesn't work, their own money and food need to rely on the allocation of the imperial court, if you dare to be disobedient, there is Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, especially Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, these two are obviously not as good as Guo Yan and his relationship with him, and then he will really cut off his own supplies, and it is far from enough to rob the people.

Li Wei is so idle that his eggs hurt, and Jia Xu, who came back from last year, is here again.

Compared with last time, Jia Xu was treated significantly higher this time. Li Wei is happy, it was because of listening to Jia Xu's words last time that he had today's scenery, and I don't know what kind of benefits Jia Xu will bring to him this time.

"Mr. Jia, I don't know why I came here today?" Li Wei asked Jia Xu with a smile on his face.

"This ......" Jia Xu looked embarrassed when he heard this, as if he was considering how to speak. Seeing Jia Xu like this, Li Xu's originally relaxed heart also lifted, and after waiting for a while, he heard Jia Xu say slowly: "General Li, Jia Mou came back to give you a wake-up call by holy order." ”

"Oh, I don't know what the Holy One commands?"

"General Li misunderstood, the Holy Lord didn't want General Li to do anything, but he didn't want General Li to be deceived, so he specially ordered Jia to inform General Li."

"Mr. Jia, don't sell Guanzi, if you have something to say, please tell me in person."

"Hmm...... That's right, two days ago, Wang Yun Wang Situ suddenly proposed in the court to recruit the White Wave Thief, and the recommended candidate was General Li. ”

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with this? Li Wei asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Oh, General Li, why are you confused? That Wang Yun obviously has Lu Bu's tiger and wolf army in his hands, why did he recommend General Li to lead his troops to conquer the White Wave Thieves? ”

"Hmm...... That's right, isn't it that he Wang Yun wants to take the opportunity to weaken my strength? ”

"That's exactly the case, and the saint also thinks so, so he rejected Wang Yun's proposal at that time. But General Li, you also know that Wang Yun has made great contributions to the matter of punishing Dong, and most of the people in the court are his minions, and he has brought up this matter in the court in the past two days, and many courtiers also agree with this matter this time. ”

"Then the Holy One agreed?"

"The Holy Lord did not agree for the time being, but General Li, you also have to understand, the Holy Lord is still young, and there are many things that he can't do, so he ordered me to come and discuss with the general to quickly discuss a countermeasure."

"This ......" Li Wei got up and walked around the tent a few times, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, what do you think if I pretend to be sick?" ”

"No, never. The general is sick, but it is impossible for all his men to be sick, which just gives Wang Yun an excuse to deprive the general of his military rights. When Jia Xu heard this, he hurriedly persuaded.

"Then, then I'm not going."

"General, don't be angry, if the general disobeys the order, won't it give Wang Yun a reason to send troops to fight against the general, and I'm afraid that General Guo will not be able to stand on the general's side."

"Oops~ This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Mr. Jia said, what should I do?" Li Wei asked Jia Xu a little anxiously.

"It's not like there's no way." Jia Xu said slowly.

"Will the plan be released?"

"Rather than passively being controlled by others, it is better to strike first, and before the will of the imperial court comes down, General Li preemptively asks for orders and leads his troops to leave."

"Leave? Where to? Li Dao didn't react for a while, and asked in surprise.

"Naturally, I went to a place where Wang Yun couldn't calculate the general. The reason why Wang Yun wants to calculate the general is because the general is in front of him at this time, but if he is far away, and the general is burdened with heavy responsibilities, then he will not find a reason to deal with the general. ”

"Hmm...... It makes sense. Where does Mr. Na Jia think Li Dao should ask for his life? ”

"This ......" Jia Xu hesitated a little again, and Li Wei urged when he saw this: "Oh, Mr. Jia, that's all it takes, don't hide it." ”

"Well, since General Li can trust Jia, then Jia said that the general in the Central Plains can't go, so he can only go west. Na Ma Teng and Han Sui have always wanted to go eastward, and the general asked for orders to go to Longxi County to garrison, if he felt that his strength was insufficient, he could even pull General Guo Yan with him. Of course, the general should not really go to fight Ma Teng and Han Sui when he goes to Longxi County, that will only cheapen Wang Yun, as long as he does not move, he Wang Yun will not be able to find the general's fault. ”

"To Longxi County?" Li Wei was a little hesitant to keep him away from Chang'an, and he was still a little reluctant to say what he wanted to say. But when I thought of Wang Yun, who always wanted to make trouble for himself......

"General, don't you hear that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, although Chang'an is good, but with that Wang Yun in one day, the general must always be on guard, but if you go to Longxi, it will be the general's world there, which is better or worse, doesn't the general have a plan in his heart?" Jia Xu observed his words and looked at his expression, and said to Li Dao slowly.

Not to mention, these words really moved Li Dao. Li Wei is not a master who keeps to himself, he has really choked enough during this time, and he has weighed the gains and losses left and right, especially when there is a Jia Xu next to him who is fanning the flames, Li Wei finally wavered.

Although he didn't agree to Jia Xu's proposal immediately, Li Wei didn't refuse it, but just asked Jia Xu to let him think about it. In the evening, Li Dao came to his own camp as usual.

Li Dao has a unique habit, believing in the art of witchcraft, and the witches around him have a leg with him. Whenever he encountered something difficult to decide, Li Dao would find the witch to have a good time first, and then let the witch divinate the good fortune for him, and this time was no exception. It's just that Li Dao didn't know that the witch beside him had already asked Jia Xu to order someone to buy it in advance, and the result of the divination was naturally a good fortune to the west.

Li Wei, who was convinced of the art of witchcraft, naturally made up his mind, and accepted Jia Xu's proposal to take his good brother Guo Yan to Longxi to live a good life as the emperor of the soil.

……

"I'm not going! You're crazy! If you don't wait for the prosperous Chang'an, you have to go to the bitter cold place of Longxi to suffer. Guo Yan's answer hurt Li Dao's heart very much, and in order to convince his good brother, Li Dao had to tell him the result of his search for the witch witch. It's just that Guo Yan is not Li Dao, and he doesn't believe in Wu Bu's set at all. Not only did he not believe it, but he also persuaded Li Dao not to believe in that set of deceptive things.

Guo Yan didn't believe in Wu Bu, and Li Dao didn't annoy him. can question Wu Bu's accuracy, which makes Li Dao a little angry. The power of faith is blind, and now Guo Yan dares to question his beliefs, almost making Li Wei and Guo Yan turn their faces on the spot, but Guo Yan still doesn't know it.

……

"Okay, I'll go with you through this." After all, they have been good brothers for many years, and after persuasion to no avail, especially after seeing that Li Dao's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, Guo Yan finally sighed and agreed to Li Dao's invitation.

"Hey~ That's right. Again, I promise you'll thank me for today's decision in the future. Li Wei turned his anger into joy and assured Guo Yan.

"Alas~ I don't know what sins I created in my last life, and I only met you in this life. Childish, you can remember, I am willing to accompany you through this experience, not because of any witches, but because I think that if we brothers are together, when others just want to calculate us, we can take care of each other. Guo Yan sighed, looked at Li Dao and said.

"Hahaha...... Yes, you and I brothers join forces, who can help us? By the way, do you think we should call Zhang Ji and Fan Chou? Li Dao suggested with a smile.

"Of course, we will go to Longxi to suffer, why should we let them stay in Chang'an to enjoy happiness." Guo Yan replied without hesitation.
