This town is not far away, but the snow road is slippery, and Cai Wenji is impatient to walk for a long time, Liu Yong has to carry Diao Chan on his back, so the team is walking extremely slowly, and the soldiers who drove the deer into the mountain have returned, and Liu Yong and his party have not yet reached the bottom of the mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After another half an hour, the group arrived at a dense forest, and not far below was the road into the city.

At this time, although there are not many people on the road, but horseback, carts, walkers, burdens, coming and going, and the goods in and out are also very miscellaneous, game, animal skins, department stores, clothing, ...... It is extremely unusual on a mountain trail. Liu Yong knew that this area belonged to the overlapping area of Liu Biao and Cao Cao's forces, and the two sides were still in the "honeymoon period" for the time being, so it was normal for them to be more prosperous than ordinary towns. However, the two sides sent scouts to spy on the military situation, but it was not necessarily, so Liu Yong did not dare to take it lightly, so he asked Zhou Cang to send a few capable soldiers disguised as villagers to inquire about the news.

After a while, the sergeants returned. Zhou Cang asked Liu Yong with his eyes, and then asked, "Tell me about the situation in the town." ”

"Yes." The squad leader who took the lead replied, "This town is in an east-west direction, about sixty zhang, and there is only one road through the city, which can go to Runan and Shouchun in the east, and Jiangxia and Fuyi in the west. The north side of the town is backed by a mountain cliff, and there are hillsides along the road on the east and west sides, and there are some woods, but they are not too dense to hide people; There are 63 households in the town, three liquor stores, and two inns, all of which are full. There was a market on the south side, and although there were many people in it, there was nothing unusual about it. ”

Liu Yong was very satisfied with the thoroughness and meticulousness of the investigation, nodded, and asked, "Did you find anything abnormal?" ”

The squad leader replied, "General, yes." ”

Liu Yong was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Back to General. There was a dense forest on the outside of the bazaar, and it was dark inside, and we were going to go in and have a look, but someone stopped us. ”

Zhou Cang was also puzzled on the side: "Why don't you let you in?" ”

"Those people said that there were goods they had stacked inside, and it was inconvenient for people to go in. However, his subordinates thought there must be something strange in this. ”

"Say."

"For there were sixty-four horses tied to the side of the woods. Although it is dressed as a team of ordinary traders. However, the subordinates recognized that these were all military horses. The general thought about it, even if someone stole the war horses in the barracks to sell, there would not be so many and so neat. These horses are fat and strong. Obviously, they are usually very well fed and trained. Moreover, these men were all burly men, not like ordinary merchants, but like well-trained soldiers. ”

Zhou Cang was even more surprised and thought. How can there be so many war horses in a small place? Could it be that Cao Ren or Xiahoudun expected that we would pass through here, so they ambushed us here in advance? However, the encounter with Cao Ren was an accident, not to mention that the retreat route in the future was all improvised, and they were not immortals, how could we be counted that we must go to Fuyi? There are so many small towns on the road, can't there be one ambush? Does Cao Ren have so many soldiers and horses?

Zhou Cang thought about it for a while, but still didn't know what it meant. Since the situation is unknown, do you want to enter the town? But when will you be able to reach Fuyi on two legs? The more Zhou Cang thought about it, the more chaotic it became. was about to ask Liu Yong, but Liu Yong frowned and asked, "How are those businessmen dressed?" But what's so special about it? ”

"They are all dressed as ordinary merchants, but they have a red strip of linen wrapped around their right hand and upper arm, which is very strange."

Hearing this, Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay." It's our own people. ”

Zhou Cangqi said: "My own people? How did I not know? ”

Liu Yong smiled: "There are some situations that I will tell you in a moment. At this time, there happened to be a carriage going in the direction of the town, Liu Yong waved his hand, led the soldiers to the front, and jumped down at the right time.

The owner of the car and a few pedestrians saw dozens of soldiers suddenly jump out and block in front of them. One by one, they were majestic, and they were robbed later, so they were so frightened that they trembled and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Liu Yong smiled and clenched his fists. apologized again and again, only saying that the officers and soldiers who came here on business had two female companions who were going to be brought into the town, so please make it easier.

When those people saw that Liu Yong was not robbing, they relieved themselves and saw the two girls with beautiful faces. In particular, Diao Chan looked like a fairy, and nodded in agreement. Liu Yong thanked him, put the two girls into the car, and then escorted the carriage into the town with everyone.

The scale of the town is not large, but it is very lively and lively, which is really rare in the remote mountain villages. However, Liu Yong learned from the mouth of the owner that this is a small town between Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Fuyi, because it is located on the main traffic artery, and it is a three-regardless zone, and the goods are traded frequently, so it is not surprising that it is prosperous. The people of the town were taken aback when they saw dozens of sturdy soldiers in full uniform, and they all hid aside, and exchanged heads from time to time.

Liu Yong walked to the market, and sure enough, he saw dozens of good horses tied there, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. At this moment, a whistle sounded, and dozens of people rushed out from the dense forest and the surrounding area, surrounding Liu Yong and the others. Liu Yong saw that those people were really tied with hemp sticks on their right arms, and his heart was determined, and then he looked at the leader of the people, but he was in his twenties, dressed in a white robe, with a long body and a jade body, and he was even more surprised and happy. The man saw that Liu Yong's side was in a neat formation, with a strong body, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Liu Yong in the lead, he was immediately overjoyed, and bowed his head.

Liu Yong stepped forward, picked up the man, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to see Brother Yuan Jian here." I didn't see Brother Liao coming in Xudu, I just thought that you had followed General Guan, but I didn't know that my brother had gone to Fuyi, so I didn't know that I would be a brother? ”

That person was Liao Hua. Liao Hua looked ashamed and said: "That day, Du Raid robbed the two wives of Uncle Liu Huang up the mountain, and after asking the reason, he persuaded Du Raid to send the two ladies down the mountain. Remembering the oath he had made in front of the general that day, he killed Du Xun in anger. I wanted to follow General Guan, but the two ladies didn't like my yellow turban status, so General Guan told me that I could go to Xudu to join my son. There are many brothers around him, it is inconvenient to go to Xudu, and he has no shame to see the son, I heard that Fuyi recruited soldiers and horses, so he led the troops to vote, but Fuyi is still the territory of the son. ”

Liu Yong laughed and said: "Different paths lead to the same end, which shows that you and I are destined." Then he introduced them to both sides, and asked: "With Brother Liao's martial arts, his position in Fuyi should not be low, what position do you live in now?" ”

Liao Hua replied: "It is exactly what the general said. In the Fuyi Army, the position is determined by the level of martial arts and the ability to command the troops, regardless of background, does not pay attention to personal feelings, does not accept bribes, and seeks Wei to supervise the wrong love, and is now a deputy general, leading 5,000 soldiers. ”

Liu Yong was puzzled: "Brother Liao has a heavy army, and he must have a lot of worries, so why do you need to come here to do small things in person?" ”

Liao Hua said movingly: "General Qianmeng spared our lives and came sincerely to recruit them, although Liao Hua did not say anything, he was grateful. This time it can be reused, but also thanks to the general's established policy, Liao Hua should be grateful for the picture. Therefore, when he heard that the general was passing a book, he asked Ying to come and answer. The sky has eyes, and the general is really looking forward to it. "Between the words, I was overjoyed.

Liu Yong was moved in his heart and asked, "How many people have you come out?" ”

Liao Hua replied: "Gandu supervised the city, and Wei Du led a large army to attack Runan and contain Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses. We were divided into squads, each of about sixty or seventy men, and waited in the town where the general had to pass. ”

Zhou Cang suddenly realized: "No wonder I didn't see Cao Ren increase his troops, it turned out that Wei Yan went to attack Runan." ”

Liu Yong explained to Zhou Cang again: "We originally went to Xiangyang, so we didn't alarm Fuyi. It's just that I didn't see the soldiers and horses that Uncle Liu Huang received in Anchang, so I knew that things had changed, so I used carrier pigeons to send a letter to Yu Gong, first, let them send troops to feint to attack Runan, in case Xiahoudun increased his troops; The second is to inform us of the retreat path, and at the same time agree to tie a red cloth on the right arm to avoid misunderstanding. ”

Zhou Cang patted his head and said with a smile: "There are so many things, I don't know anything." The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Liu Yong suddenly remembered something again, and asked again: "Yuan Jian, I see that there are more than sixty good horses here, it's only been two years, how can Fuyi have so many war horses?" ”

Liao Hua arched his hand and said, "Return to the general." Fuyi didn't actually have too many war horses, and this was to meet the general's concentration of all the war horses transported here. Although we sent more than a dozen squads on this trip, only three squads had war horses. However, the distance between the various teams is not too far, as long as one team discovers the general's whereabouts, the war horses can also be transferred quickly. ”

Liu Yong smiled and nodded: "So, my Liu Yong's luck is still good, and it just happened to be your team." ”

Liao Hua nodded with a smile, and then hugged his fists and said: "General, brothers, please go to the woods to rest for a while, and then we will go to Fuyi after dinner?" Liu Yong nodded, and Liao Hua ordered a few people to go back to report the news first, and then sent a message to the other teams to ask them to collect their troops and return to Fuyi.

The two armies joined forces in one place, marched all the way, and returned to Fuyi in one day. Yu Fu, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning all went to greet them fifty miles outside the city, and when they saw Liu Yong, they bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "See Taishou." ”

"I almost forgot. Now Fuyi has been upgraded to a county. Liu Yong stretched out his palm and patted his forehead, hurriedly returned the salute, helped the three of them up, and said again and again, "It's all your own family that doesn't need to be polite." Now it's unfair, how about we still call it the way it was? ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and Yu flipped over: "Okay." Childe please! ”

Liu Yong smiled: "I don't know if I can still find the way to the county office?" ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Childe must not be found." It's just that the original county government has become a square. ”

Liu Yong was pleasantly surprised: "I don't think that in less than two years, there have been such big changes in the city. ”

Yu Fu also smiled: "Don't hide it, the first five-year plan has been completed three years ahead of schedule. ”

Liu Yong asked, "So does the city need to be expanded again?" ”

"I'll report this to my son tomorrow. Childe has just escaped from danger, and today he will not be in political affairs. First of all, please ask the son to live in the post house temporarily, and we will wash the dust for the son. How about we accompany my son back to your mansion tomorrow to celebrate? ”

Liu Yong was surprised: "What is my mansion?" How can I have a house in Fuyi? (To be continued.) )
