Liu An was slightly stunned when he heard the word "urgent report", he didn't care about teaching his son and hurriedly stood up and walked out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As early as three months ago, the central government conducted a search of the population of Chang'an, and almost all people of unknown origin or Huainan color were arrested, according to modern parlance, information control, the purpose of which is, of course, to block the news and prevent others from knowing what they were doing.

In this era, the speed of information transmission is very slow, which indirectly affects the judgment of the situation, and the military impact is even greater, and sometimes the cost of delaying the news is even devastating. At the same time, the difficulty of blocking the news is not generally high, there is no so-called ID card at present, and if you want to check a person's origin, you need to track repeatedly, verify and prove.

Liu An clearly knew that he was dying and fleeing in Chang'an, and how could he not be afraid to hear that someone was still sending an urgent report from Chang'an? He opened the curtain quickly, rushed through the corridor with a speed he had never done before, slowed down as he was about to leave the corridor, tidied up his somewhat messy robe a little, stretched out his hand to straighten his tiara, and stepped out with a light cough.

Although it is broad daylight, but due to the limitation of the architectural pattern, the interior is generally dark, the hall side hall because of the smaller window needs to light the oil lamp, the smell emitted by the long-burning oil lamp makes people smell like thin air, there is a man in a white shirt is kneeling on the cushion in the middle of the side hall at this time, holding tea and sipping, he heard the light cough in the main hall, put down the wooden bottle, raised his hand to arrange the cloth that tied the hair bundle.

Kaftans, fabrics, flat boots, all this only says one thing. This middle-aged man with the surname Xiahou is a white person, that is, a commoner from a humble background and no official position.

Liu An came out of the corridor and frowned when he saw that the main hall was empty, and he glanced at the door history obliquely. Some unpleasantly asked, "What about people?" Obviously, he thought that it was his subordinates who came to report, and he didn't think in any other direction at all.

King, noble relatives also! How noble is the status? said that there was an urgent report but there was no one who came to report, Liu An was displeased no matter how polite Corporal Li Xian was.

The old man didn't report it clearly just now, and now when he saw that his master was displeased, cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. Confessed and hurried to the side hall. When he entered the side hall, he saw that Xiahou Zhang was still sitting leisurely drinking tea, and he was suddenly a little displeased, and thought, "Didn't you come to deliver urgent information?" It's still so laid-back! Thinking of this layer, I was not angry: "Mr. Xiahou." My master is here! ”

Xiahou Zhang stood up with a gentle smile, he didn't say much and walked straight out, and bowed when he saw Liu An in the main hall: "Xiahou Zhang...... See the King of Huainan! ”

Liu An had a symbolic smile on his face, and he showed a behavior worthy of his reputation after seeing that he was not his own. He smiled very kindly and asked, "Compound surname Xiahou?" Xiahou Ju of Shanggu County is your ......? ”

"It's my uncle."

The expression on Liu An's face was kind and a little weird. The reputation of the Xiahou family in Shanggu County is not very famous, and almost no one at the grassroots level knows that there is a family called Xiahou in Shanggu County, but the high-level figures of the Han Kingdom are no strangers to the Xiahou family, the reason why the Xiahou family is not famous is not because they don't like it and they don't have strength, everyone in the world knows the Zhong family and the Nie family among the merchants, but they don't know that the Xiahou family's financial resources are not less than these two!

The influence of the Xiahou family in Shanggu County is not in the people but in the official face, and it is commendable that the Xiahou family not only has sufficient financial resources, but also has more children in the family who are full of poetry and books. There are many Xiahou children of this generation.

Liu An's heart was also tossing and turning, and he thought to himself: "Xiahou Zhen is Uncle Xiahou Zhang?" What is he doing here? ”

Perhaps many people have forgotten something. But Liu An definitely did not forget to follow Emperor Gaozu (Liu Bang) to fight the world Ruyin Hou Xiahou Ying, and this Xiahou family naturally has a little relationship with Xiahou Ying, although Xiahou Ying followed Lu Pheasant to help the abuse and was finally retaliated against is almost finished, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, isn't it precisely because Xiahou Ying stood in the wrong line that the current Xiahou family has an overly bad reputation for rejection?

"...... nephew Xiahou Xian here?" Liu An snorted, paused for a while, and then seemed to remember that the servants of the palace did not send tea, and then said dissatisfiedly to the old man standing next to him: "Uncle Hei? ”

The old man bent down and took a few steps back, and retreated to the door: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

Over there, Liu An was talking with Xiahou Zhang about some things, and the two of them talked endlessly, but they didn't talk about the topic, until they sat down separately, but they didn't talk again.

Liu An is famous as Corporal Lixian, and he has several meanings for making this gesture, among which he wants to test what Xiahou Zhang wants to do, whether he comes on behalf of the family or himself.

Xiahou Zhang didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he settled down, first bowed and then said, "There is something here." ”

Liu An raised his eyebrows.

"Zhang Jin's visit is here to inform the King of Huainan that there are great changes in Chang'an!"

Liu An stretched a tail note of "Oh ......", and asked with a smile: "What has changed?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has collected a huge amount of military funds and ordered a large-scale expansion of the army, and adult men in the Sanfu and Jingzhao areas are required to serve in the military."

Xiahou Zhang stopped to sip the tea, he wanted to give Liu An a little time to digest.

Liu An's face is really not very good-looking, and now Liu Che, the son of heaven, is already a strong soldier, and the army directly under the central power is 600,000. The army of the Son of Heaven is a real army, unlike Liu An, who claims to be 500,000, how many young people can really fight in those 500,000 people? It can be regarded as the top of the sky with more than 200,000!

"Virtuous nephew, this king has learned this news."

Xiahou Zhang smiled reservedly, a piece of nonsense was not another nonsense, he said slowly: "The Son of Heaven has an edict to collect military expenses: order the merchants and wealthy families in Guanzhong to move to Maoling (in the northeast of present-day Xingping County, Shaanxi). Maoling is a small county, how can businessmen and wealthy families be willing? This has happened......"

Liu An saw that this little descendant always liked to sell Guanzi when he spoke, he thought that Liu Che forced the merchants and the Hao clan to relocate, he knew Liu Che's personality too well, Liu Che would not thank him for scavenging a huge amount of money from the merchants and the Hao family, Liu Che would feel threatened. And it's a real threat! With Liu Che's suspicious and cool temperament, he would definitely think, "These people have so much food and money, what kind of results will happen if they have bad intentions?" Then it became inevitable to force the merchants and wealthy families to relocate. Liu Che wanted to eliminate the threat and move to Maoling to be strictly monitored and controlled.

"......, there are many businessmen who do not follow, and the wealthy people are full of complaints. The moderate people paid money to buy off the elders of the Dou clan to persuade the Son of Heaven to ...... "A large amount of information plus his own speculation, Xiahou Zhang didn't notice that Liu An's face was getting more and more ugly, and he said at length for a moment, "Guo Xie is poor because of his family. Not in the middle of the money, but also in the midst of migration. Who is Guo Jie? Naihao knight! Assassinate the Son of Heaven under the ineffectiveness of many operations......"

"Wait!" Liu An's anger at hearing the long nonsense was extinguished by the last sentence: "Liu Che was stabbed? ”

Xiahou Zhang said solemnly: "Exactly! ”

Liu An's voice completely changed tone, and he jumped up: "Dead? ”

"Martial law in the palace. Tightly sealed news, it is not yet known. ”

An eerie silence......

Liu Anqiang suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, he knew very well what effect would be brought if Liu Che died now or was slightly or seriously injured, no matter what, it would be very beneficial to Huainan!

"Virtuous nephew. This...... When did it happen? ”

"Half a month ago."

Liu Anxin was stunned. It turned out that Liu Che was stabbed? He finally knew why the attack on Lu'an and Jiujiang would go so smoothly, and now that he knew the news, he would naturally make good use of it.

"The news here is priceless! I really don't know how to thank you? ”

A hint of joy flashed on Xiahou Zhang's face, and he was not polite: "Zhang really came here this time to ask for something. ”

Liu An was very generous: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

He is in a hurry to arrange military and political affairs now, if he does not take advantage of the chaos of the central power to take advantage of it or take advantage of the current situation to establish an advantage in the future hegemony, then it is no different from an idiot!

"Zhang only asks for one thing, please allow the little nephew to take Li Guang's second son Li Jiao to Liaodi together."

“……？”

Liu An was stunned, his eyes narrowed into a straight line. I was uncertain: "When did the Xiahou family take refuge in Lin Bin!?" This little offspring came to tell me the news this time, was it instructed by Lin Bin? As for Li Jiao, he didn't care much about it at all.

Xiahou Zhang is not in a hurry. There's really no rush. He can be sure that as long as he moves out of Lin Bin's name, Liu An will never dare to refuse, and many people who know the inside story know in their hearts that it is precisely because of Lin Bin's vacillation that Liu An dares to ...... Or to say that he has the courage to rebel, after all, Liu An has been promised, and Lin Bin will definitely fulfill his promise as long as he makes it, which is also something that everyone in the world knows.

The world's major events are not only concerned about the people in it, there are countless pairs of eyes are watching, they are looking for opportunities to protect themselves or rise, betting on everyone will, looking at the right bet or the wrong bet. Although Lin Bin has not moved yet, everyone in the world understands in their hearts that once Lin Bin moves, it will definitely be an earth-shattering shock, and a move can affect the general trend of the world......

Do you remember who whispered in a secret room in Chang'an?

Do you still remember who said at that time: I must gain Lin Bin's trust and grasp the power of Liaodi?

There are a lot of people there, and Xiahou Zhang is not qualified to enter, but the Xiahou family is one of more than ten families and wealthy families who have decided to put the treasure on Lin Bin's side!

Sometimes, as long as some people or things are changed, then the next things that will be changed are innumerable!

"Virtuous nephew...... ...... is your uncle asking for Li Jiao? ”

Temptation, Liu An must test whether the Xiahou family completely surrendered to Lin Bin or only separated a series of support, the century-old family has a habit, they will choose the most likely to succeed in the few forces to invest, betting will never put all the chips on one side, so that no matter which side wins in the end, this family will definitely get benefits.

Xiahou Zhang was still a little younger in the end, although he didn't say it explicitly, the expression on his face brought some information to Liu An. Obviously, the Xiahou family still did not completely press the treasure on Lin Bin, and it can be seen from the fact that the eldest son of the Xiahou family is an official in the court, relatively speaking, the most optimistic person of the Xiahou family is still today. Of course, these are Liu An's personal guesses.

"The old man of the family led the virtuous nephew to see Li Jiao...... Liu An was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiahou Zhang very rudely, "What else is the matter with the virtuous nephew?" ”

Xiahou Zhang: "The little nephew has another private matter. Later, my cousin returned to Huainan and asked my uncle to take care of him. ”

Liu An's heart was a little refreshed, someone from the Xiahou family came, and when the time came, it could be seen from the identity of the person sent that the Huainan family had much weight in the hearts of the Xiahou family, and he would take more care of it implicitly at the moment.

Liu An sent away the guests who liked to chirp crookedly and immediately rushed to the camp, for the Huainan family, Liu Che's assassination was a great opportunity, and he found Li Shang and Jin Chang on duty.

Li Shang and Jin Chang were both part of the Eight Princes, and when they heard the news from Liu An, they immediately laughed and congratulated in unison.

"Your Majesty! Now is the best opportunity to march in a big way! ”

It can be said that what Jin Chang said was a complete nonsense.

Li Shang is more like a practical faction, he carefully observed the map after patting the sycophants, now the Huainan family has taken a lot of cities from the hands of the central power, and the road to attack Lu'an has been opened, originally because he was afraid that the central power was playing some conspiracy and did not dare to advance, now that he already knows that it is because Liu Che was assassinated that the army of the central power is so chaotic, when will it not attack now?

Of course Liu An wants to join the army, but who is he? It is Liu An, the king of Huainan who is 'famous all over the world'! He will never take risks when the news is not confirmed, he chooses to act steadily after being excited and excited, and first uses practical actions to test the reality of Dou Ying and Li Xi, if the army of the central power is really chaotic, then don't blame Liu An for unceremoniously swallowing Lu'an and Jiujiang completely.

After some arrangement, waiting for the matter to be dealt with, Liu An hurried back to the palace, he was now eager to know Lin Bin's thoughts, only by really figuring out Lin Bin's thoughts, his imperial hegemony could succeed.

"What the hell is he trying to do?"

In fact, Lin Bin doesn't have any special ideas, he is also waiting, waiting for the situation to change, if he doesn't make a move, he will impress the world as soon as he makes a move!
