"Dezu, how long have you been doing this?" Taking a sip of warm wine to warm up a slightly cooler heart, Liu Yuan asked Yang Xiudao.

Perhaps because the allusion of "Yang Xiu's death" is too deep into Liu Yuan's heart, Liu Yuan has always shown a different attitude towards Yang Xiu than the children of other families. Just like Fu De, who was called Shang Shulang at the same time, he was released to the state and county early, and Yang Xiu has been with Jun for several years.

Yang Xiu didn't know what Liu Yuan meant, how long he had been working in Zhongshu Province, Liu Yuan wouldn't know? With a little doubt, he quietly glanced at Liu Yuan, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it's been more than three years!" ”

"With your Yang Dezu's talent, do you feel wronged?" Liu Yuan looked at Yang Xiu with a smile.

Yang Xiu naturally felt that "Huai Cai is not met", and he can meet and accept the court, play in the palace, and find a yellow door. He is a dignified son of the Yang family, and he has to compete with a cadre of "mediocre talents". However, he didn't dare to say anything on his face, he had been personally trained by Liu Yuan for so many years, although he was occasionally sharp, but his scholarly spirit was a lot more restrained.

"How dare you?" Yang Xiu took a step back and bent down.

"You have been doing your duty recently, and in the future, you will be promoted to a scholar and a soldier in the army!" Liu Yuan gave Yang Xiuyi a surprise.

"Thank you!" There was irrepressible joy in Yang Xiu's eyes.

Now the center of Xia Guo is slowly familiar with the three provinces and six ministries led by Liu Yuan. Yang Xiushen was among them, and naturally understood the status of the scholars. In charge of the imperial court, his promotion to this position means that he Yang Xiu has taken a big step towards the decision-making level of Zhongshu Province. At his age, it is also rare in today's Great Xia.

"Pass on my edict, and drive back to Chang'an tomorrow!" Liu Yuan ordered lightly.

"No!"

With Wu Yue as the commander, he stayed in Hangu, and Liu Yuan led the army to the west. Left 10,000 people in Wuyue, and the town guarded the front line of Hangu, which has been paid attention to. Liu Yuan was not worried at all whether the Wei army would do something at this time, so he withdrew, and it was Cao Cao who was relieved.

Before returning to the west, I met Sima Fang. It was also a sudden leisure, and when he asked him if he had fallen, he didn't fall, Liu Yuan didn't have much patience, so he cut it. The ensuing impact is "Sima Bada", and only "Sida" remains. The Sima clansmen who fled to Zhao Wei heard the news, and they hated Hu Xia and Liu Yuan even more. But Liu Yuan cares about it personally, even if he is Sima Yi.

......

Compared with the fierce battles with You, Bing, Si, and Monan, on the Wuguan front, it has been relatively calm. On the Chu army, Zhang Yun was the governor and the commander-in-chief of the army. Liu Biao transferred some of the most elite soldiers and horses of Jing and Hunan to the north, and Zhang Yun was elected by a group of families led by Cai Mao, in order to control this part of the military power.

More than 30,000 elite Chu troops, divided into two groups, after the war, Zhang Yun has been staying in Wancheng, "shooting" the army. On the contrary, Liu Bei, who arrived later, went straight to Wuguan to lead the army, joined forces with Wen Ping, and took over the command of the army as the deputy governor.

The line of Wuguan is actually a contest between Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Yun is far away in Wancheng, cheering.

Liu Beizhi attacked Wuguan, made an attempt at the beginning, commanded 5,000 elite soldiers, galloped north for 100 miles, and assaulted Guancheng. But Zhang Xiu was well prepared, and Kecheng was not down. Then there was a confrontation that followed the timeline, and the perfection of the Wuguan garrison made it nowhere to speak, so when the rear was urging too quickly, it made a move, sent thousands of soldiers and horses, rushed into the city, and had the right to train the troops.

Blocked by Wuguan City, Liu Bei has always been very calm, he went north to unify the army, and did not have much expectation of breaking through Wuguan and driving straight into Guanzhong. In the garrisons in Jingnan, his Liu Bei's influence is already big enough, and he is here for more purpose than to exert his influence in the Chu army in Jingbei. Liu Biao gave him this opportunity, and he naturally had to seize it.

What surprised him even more was that under Wuguan City, a young man named Xu Shu recommended himself and defected to Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who has always been thirsty for talent, did not despise him because of his age, and met him personally.

After some conversation, I was pleasantly surprised, I only felt that I had picked up a treasure, and immediately made a decision to entrust him to join the army, thinking that he was a confidant and often slept with him.

The cold wind struck, and in the Chu army camp outside Wuguan City, many soldiers were huddled in the cold. Liu Bei personally inspected the battalions and comforted the soldiers.

"It's winter!" Liu Bei sighed, and the air around him seemed to be a little heavy from the cold: "That Zhang Yun's heavy supplies in our army are hateful, and there are still many soldiers wearing light clothes!" ”

"Yuanzhi, the weather is getting colder, and the war in the north has not yet been decided. The soldiers are tired of the war and think about it, should we withdraw our troops! Liu Yuan looked at the young people who were inseparable from him these days.

Xu Shu looks personable, with a calm complexion, bright eyes, and a heart-wrenching bearing. The sky was getting dark, and a large area of dense fog was rising around Wuguan, looking at the Chengguan shrouded in cold fog in the west, Xu Shu said softly: "Lord, let's wait for the reaction in the city!" ”

When Xu Shu first came, he offered Liu Bei a loss plan. I don't know where he heard about the Zou family, so he sent people to the city pass and made a big announcement in the most crude language. There is only one meaning: Zhang Xiu, your uncle Zhang Ji was green, and the Zou family was in Chang'an, and he was already played by Liu Yuan.

This is obviously a word of sowing discord, and at the beginning, Zhang Xiu naturally didn't believe it. But the three of them became tigers, and after a long time, the soldiers on the Wuguan slowly changed slightly in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Xiu. It's not ridicule, ridicule or anything, but envy, if Zou really becomes His Majesty's concubine, then Zhang Xiu is His Majesty's nephew, and the future is immeasurable!

The sensitive Zhang Xiu naturally noticed this, even if he didn't believe it anymore, but under Chu Shu's endless chatter, Zhang Xiu slowly wavered. From time to time, Liu Yuan's reaction when he saw Zou came to mind, and he remembered that Liu Yuan took the initiative to send Zou back to Chang'an, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zou was really taken in by Liu Yuan as a prisoner.

With this firmly in his heart, Zhang Xiu broke out. For Zhang Xiu, Liu Yuan's "move" was too humiliating for him and his deceased uncle Zhang Ji. Liu Yuan, who was still in Hangu, didn't know that on the Wuguan side, he had already been "on the Zou family".

Angry all his life, especially Zhang Xiu, who boasted of being loyal and dutiful to the city for many years, had a monstrous hatred in his heart, and his rebellious heart suddenly rose, and the righteousness of "loyal to Han and against Xia" ignited in his chest. Dedication, release the Chu army!

Because there are many loyal soldiers of the Xia army in Wuguan City, Liu Yuan attaches great importance to the garrison of Wuguan, and various arrangements are also in place, and there are many Hu soldiers.

Zhang Xiuyin discussed with his confidant Hu Che'er, and on the one hand sent someone to contact Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he wanted to gather pro-troops to seize the pass and offer the city. But in this life, although Hu Che'er admires Zhang Xiu, he wants to betray Daxia and betray Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Hu people's faith, which Hu Che'er can't tolerate.

After changing hands, he sold Zhang Xiu, killed the messenger who Zhang Xiu wanted to send out to the city to contact, and quickly reported to Li Le.
