Good news from the South!

Yuan Shu's puppet court sent an envoy to Jiangdong to crown Sun Ce.

Sun Ce, slaughter the messenger!

Sun Ce was on the table at the same time, resolutely supporting the Luoyang Imperial Court!

Subsequently, Liu Biao of Jingzhou stated that he did not recognize the puppet court set up by Yuan Shu, and asked Yuan Shu to dissolve the Shouchun puppet court and return the jade seal to Luoyang to apologize.

While Liu Biao verbally condemned Yuan Shu, he increased his troops in Nanjun and Jiangxia to control Yuan Shu.

However, Liu Biao did not make any statement on Liu Yan's claim to be king.

Yuan Shu acted perversely, and his sin was confirmed.

Yangzhou reported that Sun Ce expressed his position, but Yuan Shu was unexpected.

Worried that Sun Ce would cut off supplies, Yuan Shu's troops, who had assembled in Anhui County, Lujiang County, gave up their plan to attack Yuzhang County, and were scattering to the areas of Juchao, Linhu, and Xiang'an to resist Sun Ce in the east of the river.

Sun Ce openly opposed Yuan Shu, and the Luoyang court cheered.

Immediately issued a decree appointing Sun Ce as the assassin of Yangzhou in order to completely break the connection between Sun Ce and Yuan Shu.

……

In addition to the situation of several surrounding princes, Liu Mang is most concerned about the news of Shan Xiongxin.

"Xiongxin has just passed the book to Luoyang, and their party has arrived in Nanzheng, and everything is going well. Flying pigeons pass on the book, for fear of leaking secrets, and it is inconvenient to say more. After settling down, someone will be sent to report in detail. ”

Shan Xiongxin only took a few companions and went deep into Hanzhong. There is the Xiliang Army in the north, and Liu Yan in the south.

Go deep behind enemy lines, and hope that Lao Shan is well.

……

Luoyang, in a state of peace, spent the first spring of the return of the imperial court.

The weather is getting warmer, and summer is coming.

April is one of the most concentrated seasons for flowers.

Luoyang, a hundred flowers are in full bloom.

However, the flowers of Liu Mang's family have never meant to bloom......

Liu Mang's residence is a courtyard with four entrances.

The third entrance is the bedroom, and the second entrance is for Liu Mang's office to study and deliberate.

The empty field in the center of the second courtyard is where Liu Mang practiced. Around the open field, many flowers and plants are newly planted at the beginning of spring.

One of them. It is a peony flower.

In this era, peony flowers were just beginning to be cultivated as ornamental flowers.

Liu Mang said that the peony flower is a rich flower. Innocent bought it and planted it in the yard.

To save money. There is no gardener employed in the family.

Taking care of flowers and plants requires patience as well as skill.

The slave in the house, who is not proficient in this way, is close to the flowering period, but that peony. There was no sign of flowering at all.

Wilted, looking pitiful.

……

Innocent and an old man with white hair are standing in the peony flower.

Seeing Liu Mang enter the hospital, he saluted without scale. "Husband, this is the uncle of the florist I invited, who doesn't live in the house, and comes to take care of the flowers and plants every once in a while."

Although the old man's clothes are old, he is clean and tidy, and he is indeed a neat man.

Liu Mang smiled slightly: "I'm tired." ”

The old man smiled innocently. There was no reply.

……

The court returned, and all the people returned to their hearts.

The establishment of the recruitment hall has played an unexpected effect.

There is an endless stream of people who have been recommended and self-recommended.

Jia Kui and Deng Zhi are among the outstanding, and the rest, although they do not have the ability to govern the country and the territory, can either fill the vacancies of government officials, or they can enter the army and serve as captains of the department.

The government has been fully staffed, and government decrees have been communicated and implemented. It's faster and more efficient.

The military has a complete structure and is actively training and preparing for war.

Liu Mang didn't dare to be idle, in his free time, except for listening to Huang Zongxi's lectures. Practice martial arts every day, practice boxing and dancing guns.

Liu Mang's marksmanship was learned from Lin Chong.

One move, one style, standard specification. Pierce into a thread and sweep into pieces.

After several years of hard work, Liu Mang's muscles have gradually tightened. Eight-pack abs are also gradually taking shape.

Reciprocating and longitudinal, fine beads of sweat seem to paint a layer of oil paint on the naked upper body, shining in the sun, shining with charming brilliance.

Wan'er passed by the verandah, saw that Liu Mang was engaged, and stopped to watch. The beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and I can't help but be stupid......

"Wan'er." Wujian gently came to Wan'er's side.

Wan'er murmured stupidly: "The young master is so handsome!" I've been with him for so long, and I still can't get enough of it. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go and tell my sister that this month, the young master will be yours. Don't look at it, lest the young master be distracted, go, and do things. ”

Wan'er tightened the tip of her nose. "Words count!"

The two men laughed softly and walked away.

"Report! Agui is back. ”

"Agui?" Liu Mang put away his moves. "Quick, let him see me in the study."

……

The third prince of Gui was ordered by Liu Mang to go to the Huaijiang area to investigate the situation of the Huaijiang Yihe.

In the past few months, he has traveled two or three thousand miles to and from Xu, Henan, and Yang.

He was originally slightly chubby and fair-skinned, but he lost a lot of weight and got a lot darker.

"Agui, it's hard work."

"Serve the Lord, don't work hard!"

Agui took the water handed by Liu Mang, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates have heard that the ancestral home of Huaijiang Yiba is Hailing County, Guangling County, Xuzhou. The surname Huang is his real name, but there is no way to know. belonged to Hailing, but the Huang family had already moved away and did not know where they went. ”

Liu Mang wiped his sweat and motioned for Agui to sit down and speak.

"My subordinates were in the rivers and lakes, and I heard some rumors that the Huaijiang Yiba seemed to have been in contact with Nanyang, so my subordinates rushed over."

Sure enough, it has something to do with Yuan Shu! Liu Mang nodded.

"After a month in Nanyang, my subordinates finally heard reliable news, that Huaijiang Yiba was instructed by Nanyang Li Zhu!"

"Li Zhu?" Liu Mang's brows furrowed.

It's this Li Zhu again!

Liu Mang leaned forward. "Is the information reliable?"

"Reliable!" Agui's face looked slightly meaningful. "My subordinates looked for an opportunity to have a drink with one of Li Zhu's guards, and I heard it from his mouth."

"Does the other party know your identity?"

"Don't worry, my subordinates have never revealed their identities." Ah Gui patted his chest and promised, "The commander of the guard also mixed in the rivers and lakes, and when his subordinates ate wine with him, he made a mouth. ”

"Oh? How do you set it? And what did he say? ”

Agui said proudly: "When people in the rivers and lakes meet to eat and drink, they are nothing more than boasting that they are well-informed. The subordinates first kept persuading them to drink, and when they were almost drunk, they said that I had a relationship with Qin Shubao in Jinan, how about it. That guy was very disdainful, saying that Jinan Qin Shubao is nothing, how can there be a big name in Huaijiang. ”

"And then?"

Then I expressed disbelief. I don't believe that Huaijiang Yiba is more capable than Qin Shubao. He boasted that Huaijiang Yiba had lived in Li Zhu's mansion for three days, and he had seen Huaijiang Yiba practice with his own eyes. ”

"Things are well done. So where is Huaijiang Yiba now? ”

Later, I heard from friends in the rivers and lakes that Huaijiang Yiba went to Jiujiang County in Runan. The subordinate followed. waited for his subordinates to rush to Jiujiang, but there was no news of him. ”

"It's really coming and going without a trace."

"yes." Ah Gui suddenly became a little nervous, and his voice was much lowered. "My lord, my subordinates originally wanted to find his whereabouts in Yangzhou, but I happened to hear rumors that he had come to Luoyang. The subordinates were worried about the danger of the main security, so they hurried back. ”

"He's coming to Luoyang?" Liu Mang's heart hung again. What he considered was not his own safety, but the safety of the little emperor Liu Xie. (To be continued.) )
