Here, Liu Yong, Zhou Cang and others are all the way, guarding Qiao Xuan's family and Dong Yun as the front, and Pei Yuanshao's department and family members in the middle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qiao Xuan and Liu Yong were side by side, still full of gratitude: "Fortunately, Liu Gongzi passed by today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." The old man is grateful. ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said, "Gong Qiao is polite." Qiao Gong is generous and benevolent, benefiting the township, and there will be the favor of God, and he should turn evil into good fortune. However, ......" Liu Yong reminded again, "Although the thief retreated today, he was not reconciled, Liu Yong was worried that this thief would wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future, and Qiao Gong must not be on guard." ”

"The old man is worried about this." , Qiao Xuan nodded, looking worried, looked around, and said in a low voice, "I see that Gongzi's account is full of talents, the soldiers are burly and strong, and the old man wants to spend a lot of money to ask Gongzi to send troops to quell the bandits for the people of Anhui City, this is not only the old man's enterprise, but also the virtue of Gongzi to benefit the people, I don't know if Gongzi can agree?" Childe relaxes, but there is a need in the army, and the old man will do his best to not embarrass Childe. Qiao Xuan was afraid that Liu Yong would not agree, so he added, "The grace of the son's life, the virtue of the family, and the old man has another thanks." ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Gong Qiao's words are serious. Even if Qiao Gong doesn't say it, Liu Yong also has plans to send troops, and doing things for others should have a beginning and an end, right? Ensuring the peace of one side is within Liu Yong's job, and he does not dare to ask for more reward, Qiao Gong only needs to ensure the food and rice during the war, and the medical treatment and pension of the injured and killed soldiers. ”

Qiao Xuan was overjoyed after hearing this: "Qiao Xuan thanked Liu Gongzi on behalf of all the villagers." I don't know when Liu Gongzi will send troops, so the old man will make arrangements early. ”

Liu Yong replied: "The places where the bandits are located are all steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Liu Yong needs to send people to investigate first, understand the reality of the bandits' nest, and then plan in detail and formulate a strategy, and then send troops to surprise them, attack them unprepared, and succeed in the first battle. If we go forward boldly, the enemy will be dark and we will be exposed, and we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even the total annihilation of the army is unknown. ”

Qiao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, nodded and replied: "Gongzi Liu thinks about it very much, and the old man is all at the mercy of Gongzi's arrangement. ”

"Gong Qiao, there is a suggestion below, I wonder if Gong Qiao is interested in listening to it?"

"Childe, please speak."

"Even if the gang of bandits is wiped out, it is difficult to ensure that there are no other bandits coveting Qiao Gong's family business, and now there is Cao Cao and Lu Bu in the north to compete for power, and Sun Ce in the east is prestigious, and defeated soldiers and deserters abound, how should Qiao Gong deal with it?"

Qiao Xuan was shocked: "The old man never thought about it, please teach me." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Dare to ask how many people Qiao Gong has?" ”

Qiao Xuan replied: "The Qiao family has more than 100 Zhuang Ding and nursing homes, and there are more than 2,000 tenants. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "The safety of the entire Qiao family is on these people. Seeing that Qiao Xuan didn't understand, Liu Yong said again: "Qiao Gong can select the strong ones from these tenants, and form a militia group with the nurses to defend their homes." ”

"The militia?" Qiao Xuan still didn't understand.

"That's right." Liu Yong explained: "These people work in the fields when they are busy with farming, and gather to train and prepare for war when they are not farming, that is, they are for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. ”

"It's just that the tenants are renting land for farming, and I'm afraid they won't contribute." Qiao Xuan said worriedly.

"When it comes to the safety of themselves and their families, who dares not to do their best? Qiao Gong was too worried. Liu Yong said, "However, ordinary villagers are scattered and will collapse when the wind blows, so it is necessary to establish a militia group, the purpose is to exercise the physique, unite the people, and improve the combat effectiveness. ”

Qiao Xuan nodded and said, "What the son said is extremely true, and the old man understands." ”

Liu Yong said again: "There are a few more suggestions below, please think about it." ”

"Childe, please speak."

"First, tenants who join the militia will be exempted from land rents depending on the size of the population; Second, conduct regular evaluations of militia personnel, reward attendance and punish laziness; Third, improve the care and assistance for the wounded, disabled, and deceased, so as to eliminate their worries about the future. In this way, the interests of these people are tied to the Qiao family, and if there is really a danger, these people will work together to fight the enemy, because to protect the Qiao family is to protect themselves. ”

Qiao Xuan suddenly realized, and admired Liu Yong even more, and nodded again and again.

Liu Yong said: "Also, if there are displaced people who have fled, Qiao will be taken in by official business. This is not only a heart of mercy and mercy, but also a move to unite the people and strengthen their strength. ”

"It's just that the Qiao family doesn't have extra land to resettle, and the old man is also more than willing to do it." Qiao Xuan said worriedly.

Liu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Gong Qiao doesn't have to worry. Liu Yong saw that mulberry trees, bamboos, etc. were all over the mountains along the way, and he had his own way to help Qiao Gong. ”

Qiao Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please give me advice." ”

The two talked while walking, and the more Qiao Xuan listened, the more happy he became. After a long time, Qiao Xuan pointed to the distance and said, "Son, please look, there is a grass house in front." ”

Liu Yong looked from afar, only to see pine and bamboo surrounding, the stream lingering, hiding a village, surrounded by a large area of farmland, growing lush, people working in front of the field, white ducks fluttering in the river, cow boys playing the flute, chasing wild dogs, a peaceful and quiet pastoral picture.

Liu Yong praised: "What a good place for Gong Qiao to live." ”

Qiao Xuan stroked his beard, his eyes were full of smiles, and said, "If Liu Gongzi likes it, he might as well stay for a few more days." ”

"Gong Qiao is polite." Liu Yong arched his hand and replied, "Dare to ask Qiao Gong if he can find a deserted vacant land, and my brothers and I will set up camp earlier." ”

Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you need to find another place." Although Qiao's family is small, you can still live there. ”

Liu Yong replied: "Don't dare to bother Qiao Gong." There are strict orders in the army not to disturb the people. ”

Qiao Gong said with a smile: "This is the old man inviting you to come, it is not to be disturbed." ”

Liu Yong Zhengse said: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." What's more, the military order is like a mountain, and he doesn't dare to disobey it, and he hopes that Qiao Gong will forgive him. ”

Qiao Xuan sighed and said, "Since this is the case, the old man has no choice but to comply." Then he invited the official and his family to rest in the village. ”

Liu Yong explained: "Qiao Gong, only when the officers and soldiers are one and share weal and woe, can they work together as one. Therefore, it is required that all officers be present with soldiers in the barracks. Because it was invited by Gong Qiao, it was only me and Yun'er who came to bother. ”

Qiao Xuan praised: "Gongzi's military discipline is strict, no wonder the military is so different, okay!" He called the steward, and took Dong Xi, Zhou Cang, and the army to camp, and ordered the servants to bring livestock, grain, forage, fruits, wine, and other things.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Liu Yong had to accept it, and said to Dong Xian: "Brother Dong, first, I must send troops to investigate everywhere in case of accidents; Second, it is necessary to arrange the hands of the night patrol on duty to plan for everything. Then tell the whole army not to get drunk and make trouble, not to trample on the crops, and to disobey the military orders. Qiao Xuan heard it and praised it again.

Qiao's mansion opened the main door and welcomed Liu Yong in. The steward first took Liu Yong to the guest room to settle down, rested for a while, and then led him to Qiao Xuan's study.

Qiao Xuan was waiting in the study early in the morning, instructed Yahuan to serve tea, and said, "Please invite the two young ladies to come and pay respects to Gongzi." ”

Liu Yong's heart was "fluttering" and jumping, Du Mu Shiyun: Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun is deeply locked with Erqiao. It is said that these two Qiao countries are beautiful and fragrant, I don't know what it looks like? After a while, I only heard the sound of the beads, and it was Dong Yun with a smile on her face who came first, and then Yingying walked into the two beauties, and the two Qiao changed their clothes again. Da Qiao was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in an emerald green dress, tall, with a goose egg face, thick black long hair, and a long bun, with a pearlescent coral hairpin on the bun, and tassels hanging from it. The two eyes are black, the cheeks are flushed, crystal like jade, bright and moving, and she is really worthy of being a peerless beauty. Standing next to her is naturally Xiao Qiao, with a slender figure, wearing a lotus yellow dress, sixteen or seventeen years old, her face is as warm as jade, her eyes are smart, although she is childish, she is also beautiful and vulgar, and she is a top beauty embryo.

Seeing that the two of them were so beautiful, Liu Yong's heart jumped wildly, his face was red, and he didn't dare to look at it directly, he felt ashamed. Er Qiao bowed deeply and thanked him: "I've seen Gongzi, thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”

Liu Yong listened to the sound like a yellow warbler out of the valley and a pearl falling on a plate, and couldn't help but be intoxicated for a while, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare." After seeing the ceremony, Er Qiao took Dong Yun to the back garden.

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Liu Gongzi, what do you think of this study?" Liu Yong saw that the hall was very spacious, with a purple Bogu shelf in the northeast corner, on which scrolls, antiques and other objects were placed, and a piano table was supported by the window, and a velvet carpet was spread on the side, and the warm sunlight penetrated through the vermilion carved wooden window, scattered on a guqin on the table. There is a large case of ancient wood in the side hall, and there are several large rolls of bamboo slips on the case, and several square treasure inkstones, and various color pen holders. On that side, there is a big flower sac, and there is a bag full of red flowers. On the left red sandalwood shelf is a bronze incense burner, and bursts of cigarette smoke rise and fill the room. There is a couch on the east side, and a chessboard and two chess boxes on one side.

Liu Yong's heart moved, walked closer, reached into the chess box and found a few, only to see that the chess pieces were warm and delicate, slightly shiny, all made of natural black and white jade, which was very precious.

Qiao Xuan saw that Liu Yong was very focused, so he said: "It's rare that Liu Gongzi likes it, and this chess will be given to Gongzi when he is old." ”

Liu Yong was startled, and waved his hand again and again: "Qiao Gong misunderstood." It's just that I haven't played chess for a long time, and it's just a bit of an itch. ”

Qiao Xuan only said that Liu Yong felt that this chess was too precious, so he excused himself, and then persuaded: "The son saved the old family from danger, how can this great kindness be repaid by a mere pair of Go?" Please also ask the son not to excuse himself. ”

"Kindness is not the work of a gentleman." Liu Yong replied categorically, "Besides, most of Liu Yong is in the camp, and it is really inconvenient to carry it, so please forgive Qiao Gong." ”

Seeing that Liu Yong was sincere, Qiao Xuan had to sigh and say, "Okay." Since the public loves chess, how about playing a game with the old man? ”

"Okay." Liu Yong was overjoyed, "Please teach Gong Qiao." ”

The two of them sit on both sides, and first put two sons on the opposite corner of the star position in the four corners, black and white, which is called a seat. Liu Yong insisted on white first to show respect. The rules of ancient Go are quite different from those of modern times, except for white first and black second, and the seat system, the biggest difference is that there was no sticker in ancient times, and whichever side had 181 pieces won, so the first one had a great advantage.

"Liu Gongzi, this chessboard has just been changed from seventeen to nineteen, I don't know if you can get used to it?"

"Habit." Liu Yong pretended, but wondered in his heart. He didn't know that at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was such a major change in the Go side, and he always thought that when Go was invented, it was nineteen.

Liu Yong used to be a Go master in school, but he didn't know Qiao Xuan's strength, so he played solidly and steadily. After dozens of plays, seeing that Qiao Xuan's chess strength was only average, and it was quite inferior to himself, Liu Yong put his mind at ease and fell like flying. Qiao Xuan was getting slower and slower, with a happy face, as if he was the one who was looking for victory.

Liu Yong couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, could it be that I was wrong, the trap buried by Qiao Xuan? But I don't see where there is a trick anyway?
