Wang Cang didn't know where there was such a sentence among the people, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he still felt that this sentence was very reasonable, he nodded hurriedly, revealing a look of admiration.

Liu Qi laughed, and then led the army to Anhui County, but what made everyone feel strange was that this time Liu Qi did not directly lead the army to cross the river, but first rushed to Caisang and crossed the river from Xunyang Port, because if he expected it to be good, on the way to cross the river via Pengze Lake, Sun Ce's army should now be confronting Huang Zu's 30,000 water army.

Liu Qi's army crossed the river from Xunyang Port and soon came to Xunyang County on the other side, and then the army soon came to Anhui County under the guidance of Liu Xun.

When he saw that the current Anhui County was still as calm as before, Liu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, although this time he lost nearly 40,000 horses, from the original strong soldiers and horses to weak power, not to mention Sun Ce in Jiangdong, even a slightly stronger rogue can threaten the entire Lujiang County.

What's even more sad is that the current Lujiang Yan zhòng is short of food, and the people are simply unable to continue, so in such a situation, Liu Xun has to rely on Liu Qi, and when he returns to the county government, he really salutes Liu Qi as the governor.

Liu Qi naturally responded as a matter of course, and sat down in the county mansion accompanied by Liu Xun.

After returning to the Taishou Mansion, Liu Xun immediately respectfully informed Liu Qi that a banquet would be held for him in the evening, hoping that he would come with a good face.

Liu Qi flatly refused: "Sun Ce's army may arrive at any time, how can we have time to feast happily?" Liu Taishou, how many soldiers, horses, grains and grass are there in your city? How many warlords? Handed over to the official for unified assignment, although we have seized the opportunity, but Sun Ce is powerful, and our current situation is still very difficult, so don't take it lightly. ”

Liu Xun agreed with a smile, and finally in desperation, he sent the number of grain and grass in Anhui County and the list of available generals to Liu Qi's case.

Liu Qi unfolded the list and took a look, and found that there were really not many available generals under Liu Xun's account, almost all of them were ordinary generals under Yuan Shu, including Zhang Xun, Yang Hong, and a few people such as Yuan Shuzhi's younger brother Yuan Yin and Zi Yuan Yao, and the talents of these people were really unmatched.

"Huh? There's still this person here! Liu Qi looked at a name written on the list and said in surprise.

Next, Liu Qi said to Liu Xun: "Liu Taishou, do you know who this Liu Ye is?" ”

I heard Liu Xun say: "This person is the son of Emperor Guangwu, the descendant of King Fuling, the word Ziyang, his father, his mother's cultivation, his birth and his brother. At the age of nine years and seven years old, his mother was critically ill, and when he was dying, he warned him and Ye, the waiter of the general public, to be flattering, and asked the two brothers to get rid of it. When he was thirteen years old, he entered the house to kill the waiter and went out to worship his mother's tomb. The other attendants were shocked and reported the matter. Pu was furious and sent people to chase after Ye. Ye also thanked him and returned to his father and said that this was his mother's order, and he didn't dare to disobey it, so he didn't blame it. Later, Ye borrowed the name of Cao Gong to kill Yangzhou Zheng Bao, everyone elected him as the hand of the local marshal, he did not want to support the army, so he took refuge in the lower officials, this time the lower officials went out to fight on the top, he stopped, but unfortunately the lower officials did not listen, resulting in this defeat. ”

"Oh? In this way, this Liu Ye is still the same clan as the official and the clan of the Han family? I want to recruit him to write a book for me Yangzhou Assassin History, I don't know if Lord Liu is willing to cut his love? Hehe, as long as the adults agree, the official is willing to allocate an additional 10,000 grains from Lujiang as compensation. ”

Liu Qi glanced at Liu Xun lightly and said slowly.

"Is that true?" When Liu Xun heard that Liu Qi was willing to give an extra 10,000 pieces of grain, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he hurriedly asked excitedly.

"Hehe, a gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, this official is the history of Yangzhou Thorn, how can he not talk without words?" Although Liu Qi seemed to be very casual on the surface, he was very excited in his heart.

Because he knows that Liu Ye in history is known as Wang Zuozhicai, such a talent is Xu Shu and Zhou Yu's top deposits, although his reputation in history is not as loud as those two, but his talent is not weaker than those two.

What's even more rare is that this is an all-round character, he has a very good intelligence analysis ability, and the prediction of many things is extremely accurate, Liu Qi still remembers that there was such a thing mentioned in history, after Cao Cao once occupied Hanzhong, Liu Ye persuaded him to take Liu Bei's foothold in Xishu when the foothold was not stable immediately to send troops to Shuzhong, and Liu was defeated, but Cao Cao did not listen, and then Liu Bei really led his troops to occupy Hanzhong, and also lost the general Xiahou Yuan. In addition, Liu Ye was also good at mechanical manufacturing, and during the Battle of Guandu, it was he who built the Thunderbolt and suppressed the offensive of Yuan Shao's army.

In a word, this person can be literate and martial, resourceful, anticipating the enemy's opportunities, and is also good at making powerful siege equipment, but because it is a Han Dynasty clan, many tricks are often not adopted by Cao Cao, which is why his fame is not as big as Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, in fact, his real talent is definitely not inferior even compared to these people.

Being able to meet such a talent in a small place like Lujiang, how can Liu Qi not be excited? In fact, such a character is worth even 500,000 grains, but it inevitably arouses Liu Xun's suspicions, and Liu Qi deliberately said the ultra-low price of 10,000 grains.

But even such a price is absolutely incredibly high in Liu Xun's opinion, so Liu Xun agreed almost without hesitation, and in order to ensure that the food is in hand, he assured Liu Qi that he would personally go to persuade him, if the other party did not agree, even if he was tied, he would tie the other party to Liu Qi's command.

Liu Qi's favorite thing to hear is this sentence, he has already decided now, even if he is tied up this time, he must tie Liu Ye to his account, and he must not let such a genius go to Cao Cao again, this is not only a great insult to talents, but also an unforgivable sin for himself.

After Liu Xun left, Liu Qi had been fidgeting, eagerly looking forward to Liu Ye coming to him, even Xu Shu was surprised to see this scene, and hurriedly smiled: "What's wrong with today, my lord?" is so nervous about being like this for a Liu Ye? Could it be that Wang Zuozhi can't do this? ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "This time Mr. Xu really guessed correctly, this Liu Ye is indeed Wang Zuozhicai, and even Xu Shao, who is good at getting along, praises him like this." Such a talent is really not much inferior to Zhou Yu, but it is a pity that the pearl is covered with dust, and under the command of a guy like Liu Xun who has no knowledge, it is really an insult to the world's geniuses.

"Oh? This person is so admired by adults? It seems to be a very remarkable talent, this time Shu has opened his eyes again, and when the adult said so, Shu is also anxious to see the genius of the world. ”

But it was said that Liu Xun rushed back to the Taishou Mansion, and immediately ordered someone to invite Liu Ye over, and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, this official really regrets that he didn't listen to your Jianyi at the beginning, and insisted on going to Shangping the thief, but he fell into Sun Ce's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and almost couldn't come back, but fortunately, Lord Liu, the assassin of Yangzhou, connected with Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu to block Sun Ce's offensive, and led the army to aid my Anhui County, and set a plan to defeat Sun Ce, this official is really ashamed, in fact, such an excellent talent like you has been staying in this official mansion, It's really a pearl secret investment, and now Lord Assassin wants to recruit you as a secretary in the room, so it's better for you to serve under Lord Assassin. ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then said: "My lord Hugh is going to fall for Liu Qi's plan, this person came to my Lujiang, and did not have any good intentions, if he is really good for my Lujiang, he can completely cooperate with Huang Zu to defeat Sun Ce on the river, and now he led the army to Lujiang, which can only mean that there is something else, and the last general is afraid that the adults will be controlled by it in the future, so it is better to offer more grain and grass and thick coins, thank him for his kind help, and politely send him away, and then unite the army and people in the city to protect the city, Anhui County has been run by adults for many years, The city is strong and deep, Sun Ce will definitely not last long, not to mention that now Sun Ce does not know that the adult has returned to Anhui County, and the adult can completely order someone to surrender, and wait for Sun Ce to enter the city and then ambush the army, so that Sun Ce can be captured. ”

Liu Xun said with a smile: "Ziyang's words are wrong, Liu Tingshi helped my Lujiang for the world's society, and personally braved the arrows and stones, and Sun Ce decided between the military formations, and also helped our army with a lot of grain and grass to relieve the hunger of the people in our county, so virtuous." How can Ziyang say that he has bad intentions? Mo Duoyan quickly went to the adult army to take up his post. What's more, my lord is the assassin of Yangzhou, and my Lujiang is within its jurisdiction. ”

Liu Ye sighed and said slowly: "The last general knows that the adult is afraid that the last general will betray the adult, so he doesn't dare to tell the truth, how can the last general be this kind of person?" In fact, the last general knows that the adult follows Liu Qi to Lujiang, it must have other plans, but the adult is not Liu Qi's opponent at all, once the ill-intentioned is bad, it will be difficult to die well, so the last general implores the adult, don't think about things too simply, so as not to regret it for life. Power is inhabited by virtuous people, adults conspire to gain power, and they are not Liu Qi's opponents, and the last general can now predict the future outcome of adults. ”

Liu Ye's persuasion was originally reasonable, and it was completely to Liu Xun, but Liu Xun didn't buy it at all, but complained that Liu Ye cursed him, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Liu Ziyang, you don't have to shirk today, the general has already agreed with Lord Shi, he supports me with 10,000 grains in the city, and this official is responsible for persuading you to take refuge in him, if Jin doesn't listen to me today, all the souls who starved to death in the city will have to be asked only by you, and my Lujiang is now a small number of soldiers, and the people are short of food, if there are more than 10,000 Hu, I wonder how many lives will be saved? Therefore, if you go today, you have to go, if you don't go, even if the official kidnaps you, he will take you to the camp of Lord Thorn Shi, you say, do you go to see Lord Thorn Shi by yourself, or let this official tie you up? ”
