The man was in his thirties, with a short white face and a slightly thin body.

He appeared so suddenly that Liu Kan didn't notice it in advance. Looking closely, this person is a little familiar!

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.

"Brother Akan, Peixian has been separated for nine years, and I never thought I would meet you here...... Don't you recognize me? I'm Zhoushi! ”

Liu Kan really can't recognize it!

Don't say that you can't recognize it, and even the name sounds a little familiar.

The man laughed and said, "No wonder Brother Ah Kan can't remember me!" I also lived in Pei County back then, and when you first arrived in Pei County, didn't you just encounter a conscription? I remember that the county magistrate at that time seemed to be surnamed Ren, and we were a Lu, escorting grain and grass to Xue County, remember? ”

Yes......

There really is such a thing!

However, Liu Kan still can't remember this person, but it can be judged that this person doesn't seem to have malicious intent. So he turned over and dismounted and said: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhou here, after a few years, Brother Zhou, your appearance has changed greatly, I really can't recognize it...... Forgive sins, forgive sins! ”

Zhou Shi sighed with emotion: "Brother Akan, you are too polite! If you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me back then, I'm afraid that I would have become a pile of dry bones in Zhaoyang Daze. The day you shouted that you would never leave a single person behind, I still remember it vividly. It's true that there have been some improvements over the years, Brother Kan, you can't recognize me, it's normal. When I left Pei County, Brother Akan, you were imprisoned because of the Lu family's affairs, so that I could not say goodbye to you in person. Now that I think about it, I am still quite annoyed, but I didn't expect to reunite with my brother in this Daliang City today. ”

Liu Kan's mouth opened wide......

I was impressed. Come to think of it!

When he fought against Wang Ling in Zhaoyang Daze, he did save a person, as if he was called Zhou City.

He didn't pay much attention to it, though. After being imprisoned, who had heard that the city left Pei County this week, but he couldn't remember where he went.

In the past nine years, Liu Kan has experienced too many things. So much so that many things happened back then. It's all blurred.

That's right, it's this week!

But even so, Liu Kan did not let down his vigilance. ^^^^ asked cautiously: "Brother Zhou, what kind of livelihood are you doing in Daliang City now?" ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, I went to a relative in Daliang City back then, and my family was quite wealthy. He has no children under his knees, and he treats me as if I were his own. A few years ago, my relative passed away. Left all the family property to me. Speaking of which. Life is not bad, but it can't compare to you, brother. ”

"You ......"

"Huh. Brother still wants to hide it from me? ”

Zhou Shi only reached Liu Kan's shoulders, and could only cross his toes. patted Liu Kandi on the shoulder and said, "Do I know that you later sold Surabaya flower carving, the name of Duling Bacchus, how can I not know?" It's just that you moved your property to Ba County, and I thought it was strange...... Thinking that if my brother is nervous about the money, I can help a little more. But this county is too far away, but it is not easy to contact. ”

Regardless of whether Zhou Shi's words are true or not, I still feel warm in my heart when I listen to it.

"Let's go, let's go to my house!"

Zhou Shi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, pulled Liu Kan's arm and said: "Looking at the strength of the brother's faction, it must be not bad to mix the land, and there is no shortage of money to live in the inn." But since I came to Daliang, if I let my brother stay in the guest house, it seems that I am divided. Walk around and live in my house. ”

Liu Kan glanced at Li Cheng, but saw Li Cheng nodding lightly.

Thinking about it, it is definitely not good to break into Daliang City, but it is better to live in the home of this Zhou City.

Looking at his situation, it should be okay to mix. However, in the market, I may not know much about Liu Kan's affairs.

Well, settle down and make plans!

Liu Kan thought of this, of course he would not refuse. He and Zhou Shi walked hand in hand, while Meng Ji and others led the horse and followed behind the two.

Along the main street of Daliang City, I turned two corners, and after three alleys, I came to the front of a house.

Zhou Shi didn't lie, his relatives did seem to be very wealthy. This mansion covers an area of more than ten hectares and has countless houses. Compared with Liu Kan's house in Loucang, this is naturally not the same. But you must know that Daliang City was once the royal capital, even if it was destroyed once, it was still an inch of land, far from being comparable to the barren land of Loucang. ****

Youmen saw Zhou Shi from afar and hurriedly stepped forward: "The master is back!" ”

"yes, it's back...... I also met a good friend. Tell the chef to prepare more wine and food, and I will entertain guests tonight. ”

"Oh, the villain is going to command!"

Zhou Shi led Liu Kan and others into the house, and his own family came to lead the horses to the stable to raise. Liu Kan was still very careful and didn't dare to let others take care of his horses. The reason is very simple, I am afraid that Zhou Shi will do something and harm the horses, but there will be trouble with the land.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhou Shi, but in these years, it's really hard to say who can believe it.

On the surface, Zhou Shi is indeed unclear about other things. But who knows if it's a ground? You can't have the heart to hurt people, but you can't have the heart to prevent people! Liu Kan smiled: "Let me, the entourage, take care of the horses...... They are all horses that have just been bought from Saishang, and they are wild and difficult for ordinary people to take care of. But I still have to bother Brother Zhou, you can prepare some wine and food for them, and send them to the corridor, okay? ”

"Akan, you're still the same as before."

Zhou Shi smiled: "This is easy to do, I will arrange it." ”

Taking advantage of Zhou Shi and the housekeeper's explanation, Meng Ji stepped forward and pulled Liu Kan's shirt, which means to say: Is this person reliable?

Liu Kan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

God knows......

After such a short period of effort, Zhou Shi has already arranged it. Liu Kan and the others were not polite, sat down in the hall, and the two told each other about their parting.

"Brother Zhou, are you familiar with the official mansion of Daliang City?"

Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a smile, "It's not familiar, but Uncle Jia had a good relationship with the Daliang government earlier, so I can say something in the government." How. Brother Kan, are you in trouble? As long as it's not too serious, I'm going to talk about it. ”

Liu Kanqiang laughed, "It's not serious!"

That's right. I came to Daliang this time, just passing by...... Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, this Daliang City was suddenly closed. Looking at this, I don't know how long it will be sealed. I still have important things to do. Need to leave as soon as possible. It's really difficult.

Therefore, if Brother Zhou is familiar with the government, can he be accommodating on his behalf? Of course. If not, it's just that I haven't mentioned it. ”

Zhou Shiyi frowned, bit his lip, and groaned for a moment.

"Brother Akan, to tell you the truth, I can really help with this. It's just that...... It's going to take some time, I'm afraid.

The reason for this lockdown. I'm sure you've heard some of that, too.

It's not as good as this. You will stay with me first, and I will go and talk to the government. It took about two or three days. It should be possible. But until then, you'd better not move around. The closure of the city is imminent. You are not allowed to walk around the streets without passing the discs.

In a word, don't be impatient, don't be impatient! ”

Liu Kan and others also know very well that once the city is closed, the time may not be known.

exchanged glances with Li Chengmengji and others, Liu Kan said: "In this way, please Brother Zhou!" ”

"What please, please, I can have today, all thanks to the rescue of Brother Akan, who sacrificed your life and forgot to die. I'm going to be angry if I'm so polite...... When you are fined three glasses of wine, you are punished with three glasses of wine! ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion in the patio.

I only heard some people scolding and scolding, and some people crying and crying. Zhou Shi frowned and said angrily: "Why is there such a riot outside? Don't you know that I have a guest here? ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a woman walk into the living room.

This woman was about thirty years old, and she was born quite beautifully. Behind her, a group of housekeepers, a man and a woman, stopped outside the living room. The man is the one who was at the door before; Nudi is a woman who is not very old, about two years old. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing her unusual identity. The raw is pink cheeks, apricot eyes with spring, willow waist is full of hand, crisp chest is high, charming and moving. But at this time, she didn't have that luxurious appearance, and she saw that her face was white and trembling.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

The woman who walked into the living room looked like Zhou Shidi's wife. ****

"Master, I was in the backyard just now, and I ran into this cheap slave and this cheap slave having an adultery...... So I took it down and asked the master to make it.

I don't know if the master has a guest, and the concubine is rude! ”

Hmm, there are still adulterers and adulteresses?

Liu Kanwan didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing when he first came to Zhou's house. When Zhou Shi heard this, he was furious, got up, and walked over.

", is what Madame said just now true?"

"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life!" The little lady begged for mercy repeatedly, but she didn't know that Zhou Shi felt even more faceless, and she only gritted her teeth with hatred.

"You, I saw that you were pitiful, master, and bought you out of the Xi Pavilion, and I offered you good food and clothing, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this?"

As he spoke, Zhou Shiqiang pulled out a sword from the side, stepped forward, and stabbed out with a vicious sword.

Liu Kan didn't expect that the market would be so ruthless this week. Without saying a word, he killed the little lady. However, he has been here for a long time, and his hands are also stained with blood, and he has long been numb to such things as killing, so he doesn't care much about it. Mo said that this little lady was bought by Zhou Shi, even if it wasn't, what if she killed it? Think that at the beginning, Liu Kan was in Quyan City, didn't he also agree that Chen Ping killed Hu Yanzhu? Although people are different, they are all murders after all, so what's the difference?

"My lord spares his life......"

Menzi shouted in a mournful voice: "Master, it was the little lady who seduced me, not the little one." Please see that my ancestors have served our family for three generations, spare the little one, and I don't know what the reason is, the sword that Zhou Shi has raised is gently put down.

"You cheap slave, I think I treat you well, but you do such a degrading thing...... If it weren't for your dead father's sake, I would have cut off your dog's head today. Anyway, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes are not forgiven. Come on, pull this lowly slave down for me, and give me eighty rods. If it's dead. He abandoned the corpse in the wilderness, and went to the government to eliminate the household registration of other places; If they are still alive, they will be thrown out of their homes. Leave him to fend for himself. ”

What capital sin can be forgiven, but living sin is not forgiven?

Eighty rods down, this person can still have a concubine?

Meng Ji and others, most of them are from high backgrounds. ^^^^ this kind of disposal of domestic slaves has also been born. So it seems very calm. What about Liu Kan. Although he was a little unbearable, he couldn't come forward to persuade him for this kind of thing. I heard the little guy howling bitterly and screaming for the old man to spare his life. But they were dragged away by their families. Immediately after, a burst of screams and wails came, making the atmosphere in the living room a little dull.

"Brother Zhou, why do you have to make a liver fire for such a villain?"

A family member dragged the body of the little lady away.

Liu Kan stepped forward and put his arm around Zhou Shidi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It is a happy thing that you and I meet again today." Drink three hundred cups. Don't let this kind of thing mess with your interest. ”

It is really this era when human life is like a mustard. Zhou Shi sighed and smiled.

"Ma'am. That's what I often tell you about the Diakan brothers. If he hadn't sacrificed his life to save him back then, you and I wouldn't be able to become husband and wife today. ”

"It turned out to be a benefactor. The little woman was rude just now, don't blame, don't blame! ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and her mouth was full of gratitude. In these years, there is no restraint of etiquette, and women can enter the house as well, and they can even accompany their husbands to drink. As for Meng Ji and others, they are not surprised, and they don't feel that Zhou Shi is rude at all.

Mrs. Zhou went down to urge the wine and food, and the screams of the little people outside became weaker and weaker.

Liu Kan and Zhou Shi sat down again, and after a while, a family member brought wine and food, and everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, and drank heartily.

said that it was a hearty drink, but in fact, Liu Kan and others kept a lot of alcohol.

No matter how much the wine worm in the stomach jumps, they will not drink excessively. After all, it's not in your own home, be careful.

On the contrary, it was the market that week, and the end was very open

After pouring a few large amounts of wine, he was drunk.

Seeing that Zhou Shi had drunk too much, Liu Kan no longer persuaded him to drink. In short, this meal was very enjoyable for both the guests and the host.

In this way, Liu Kan lived at Zhoushi's house.

On the second day, Zhou Shi began to be busy with Liu Kandi's affairs. During this lockdown curfew, you can only enter but not exit. It's not easy to get out. Fortunately, this Daliang City is not the seat of the county seat after all, and it is convenient to dot up and down.

If it is a county office, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome.

Daliang City is under the rule of Dangjun, but the seat of Dangjun is in Suiyang, which is quite far away. This is exactly the intersection of the four counties, with Dongjun to the east, Sanchuan to the west, and Yingchuan to the southwest, so this jurisdiction itself seems a bit confusing. Local officials are also not scrutinized. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Shi can confidently say that he should dredge it up and let Liu Kan and them get out of the city as soon as possible.

The city of Zhou is dredged, and Liu Kan is in the Zhou Mansion, but he has a feeling that his days are like years.

The bad news is one after another, Chen She's army has conquered Qian County, what town will it attack next? It's not very clear.

Today, Chen Shi Wu Guang's soldiers and horses have tens of thousands.

There are more than 100 chariots and more than 1,000 cavalry...... It's like it's on a scale. At this time, the officials of Daqin began to pay attention to this army, and the county guard of Surabaya County organized soldiers and horses to prepare for an attack. Unexpectedly, because of this small Chen Shi rebellion, Surabaya County was also in chaos all of a sudden. First, Qin Jia, a worried person, rebelled, and then Zhu Jishi, a Fu Li, responded, threatening Pengcheng's safety.

In other words, Yingzhuang will face a lot of trouble.

On the one hand, Chen She's side is amazing, and on the other hand, Qin Jia and Zhu Jishi are making trouble. In contrast, Chen She's strength is very large, while Zhu Jishi Qin Jiadi is less powerful. But if they capture Pengcheng, then the problem will not be smaller than Chen Shidi. Ying Zhuang thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind.

He first sent people to Chen County and asked Chen County to send troops to assist.

On the other hand, he mobilized 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Qin Jia's subordinates, and set up a position on the front line of Lingbi and Mangxian, preparing to meet Chen She.

According to Yingzhuang's idea, after Chen Shi captured Qian County, he would definitely attack Xiang County.

After all, there are only two days between the two places. If Xiang County is defeated, the entire Surabaya County will be in chaos. Therefore, the strong division of troops is used to defensively. When Chen She's army attacked, he relied on the terrain of Lingbi and other places to maneuver with Chen She, and then Chen County's soldiers and horses covered and killed from behind, and if they attacked twice, Chen She's army would be defeated. Overall, there is nothing wrong with this strategic idea.

But Li Cheng doesn't think so!

"The idea of the strong county guard is too rigid......"

He pointed to the sand table made by Liu Kan and others and said: "Chen Shi is a first-class man, judging from his previous actions, this person is just due to luck to rise to Surabaya County." He had captured many towns before, but he didn't stop at all. After the raid on the treasury, he immediately moved. This shows that Chen Shi does not have the courage to have a decisive battle with us, if it were not for His Majesty's wrong governance, he would not have been able to succeed at all.

A rabble, just fight!

What do you keep?

Give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will be able to defeat his tens of thousands of troops. Zhuang Jun Shou looked at him too highly, but he was afraid that it would not be beautiful! "Isn't it good?"

Tu Tu couldn't help but say, "At least you won't make a mistake!" ”

"Misestimating the enemy's situation and missing a good opportunity, how can there be no mistakes? The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Zhuang Junshou overestimated his opponent and underestimated himself, and he made the mistake of not knowing himself or his opponent. In my opinion, this battle is difficult to win! ”

"You mean ......"

Liu Kan seemed to understand what Li Cheng meant.

"If I were Chen She, I would definitely use a small group of people to feint on Lingbi. Then gather all the horses and ambush the Chen County reinforcements on the way.

If the Chen County reinforcements are defeated, the war will inevitably affect Chen County. Chen Jun is where Chu is, and once our army is defeated, there will inevitably be a catastrophe. If Chen gets involved in Chen County, the people of the former Chu will definitely come to vote. At that time, Chen She's wings will be full. ”

Li Cheng's analysis made Meng Ji and the others gasp.

And Liu Kan looked at Li Cheng in surprise. No wonder the eldest prince Ying Fusu values Li Cheng so much, he really has real talent and learning......

I vaguely remember the Daze Township Uprising in history, Chen Sheng did occupy Chen County, and then set up Zhang Chu on his own. But how exactly is this occupied? The records in the history books are not detailed. One thing is for sure, that is, after Chen Sheng captured Chen County, it was indeed considered to be a climate. can have this tactic, which shows that Chen Shi is not a mud leg. Or is there a capable person around Chen She? Before ten o'clock, the second shift, this is to make up for yesterday's shift.

Today is a total of three watches......
