But it turned out that Lu Zhu and Wang Lian were both good at horses. They saw that the horse was completely white, but under the eyes there was a tuft of whirling hair in the middle of the horse's forehead. Looking at it from afar, it is like a tear trough in the eyes.

Lu Zhu and Wang Lian glanced at each other, and Wang Lian spoke first: "Zizhong! Now that you know the horse, it is up to you to explain the righteousness. ”

Lu Zhu pointed at Wang Lian and smiled: "Good you Wenyi, you are also cunning!" Knowing that the generals love BMW, you also know this horse, but you want Zhu to be this wicked man? ”

Wang Lian smiled at Elk Zhu and narrowed his eyes, but he only didn't answer. At this moment, Tai Shi Ci heard the exclamations of the two of them, and had already led the horse to the two of them, and asked Lu Zhu in a loud voice: "Zizhong! Why are you two exclaiming? ”

Lu Zhu saw Tai Shi Ci asking him, and glared at Wang Lian hatefully. Wang Lian was proud in his heart, so he immediately laughed out loud.

Lu Zhu was helpless, so he had to smile bitterly and pointed to the white horse of the divine horse, and said to Tai Shici with a blank face: "Ziyi! Although this horse is abnormal, it can travel thousands of miles a day, and I also know that Ziyi must be very fond of it. However......"

"And yet?"

Lu Zhu glared at Wang Lian again before he spoke: "However, this horse is probably not something that the general can ride!" ”

"Why can't I ride?" Tai Shi Ci was anxious when he heard this, so he stretched out his hand and asked Lu Zhu urgently.

"Ziyi is in a hurry!" Lu Zhu simply no longer hesitated, but said loudly to Tai Shici, "This horse has tear troughs in its eyes, white spots on its forehead, and a swirling hair entrance, which is the best among horses, and the one named 'Lu' is also." ”

Tai Shi Ciqi said: "Zizhong said that this horse is the best among horses, but why does he say that I can't ride it?" ”

Elk Zhu: "Alas! With a long sigh, Yu immediately shook his head and said: "Ziyi, you don't know, it has long been clearly stated in the Soma Sutra that the Lu horse, if it is a slave, it will die, and the master will abandon the city, it is a very famous fierce horse, and it must not be ridden." ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he was stunned. He knew that the so-called abandonment of the market was a kind of punishment in which the dead journal was executed in the downtown area and the bodies of the prisoners were exposed on the streets.

Moreover, the Soma Sutra, which is a very famous classic, in which most of the comments on horses are correct, but he cannot be unbelieved.

It's just that this Lu Baoma is abnormal, but he is reluctant to throw it away no matter what. For a while, he was holding the happy Luma, and he was stunned in place, and it was a dilemma.

When Wang Lian saw that he was embarrassed, he immediately smiled and said, "Ziyi! Since you like the horse, stay with you and take care of it, but you can't ride it. ”

Tai Shi Ci was helpless when he heard this, so he had to take Lu Ma with him.

At this time, Chen Zhi on the other side had already asked about the strongman who was blocking the road and robbing him. It turned out that these two people were Zhang Wu, Chen Sun, and were originally born as bandits, and they were active in the Xiangyang area, and later returned to Liu Biao and were given official positions.

It is easy to change, but it is difficult to change. Recently, because I heard that there were big businessmen passing by, I became ill-intentioned.

And because of this Tai Shi Ci's fame, and even recently defeated Runan County, this Zhang Wu took on his name, pretending to be him, and wanted to use Tai Shi Ci's prestige to scare others. Unexpectedly, he died under the arrows of the righteous lord because of this.

On that day, after disposing of this group of thieves, Lu Zhu and the others continued to set off for Jiangxia County.

According to Hua Fei's orders, Lu Zhu assumed the name of An Fuhao Wang Zu. And according to Hua Fei's plan formulated according to Huang Zu's greedy character, he explained Huang Zu step by step with a large amount of money and the method of distributing profits.

Later, under the banner of Huang Zu, Elk Ka partnered with Huang Zu in Jiangxia County to do business in medicinal materials, food, hotels and other businesses. Lu Zhu and Wang Lian have a way of doing business, and they are covered by Huang Zu, and they are full of wealth.

And after Huang Zu's elk business opened, he also smiled from ear to ear. As a result, Lu Zhu and others gained a firm foothold in Jiangxia.

Half a month later, Lu Zhu extended his business to the Jiangling area, and Hua Fei continued to arrange follow-up personnel, secretly following Lu Zhu's business route, sneaking towards Xichuan.

At the end of the first month, Hua Fei moved to the ground of Nanjun in Jingzhou, and began to mobilize a large number of elite guards to secretly sneak to Xichuan to find out the news from Yizhou.

In early February, Hua Fei's army ran out of food, and the Tuntian army under his command was in a state of panic. Hua Fei's confidants, Lu Zhu and Chen Dengsui, both contributed their family funds to the public and purchased military rations to stabilize the army's heart. Hua Fei also personally led the generals to appease and persuade the soldiers not to panic.

Despite this, among the remaining more than 20,000 Tuntian troops, there were still people who fled in the dark at night from time to time, and officers at all levels could not stop them.

By the time Hua Fei learned the news, most of the 20,000 Tuntian troops had dispersed, and only less than 10,000 remained. Hua Fei is worried that the main combat force will also flee.

He was anxious to leave only 100 men in the reserve battalion of 400 officers who had been with him, and assigned the remaining 300 men to the main forces to assist the generals and non-commissioned officers in heart-to-heart conversations, so as to stabilize the morale of the main forces.

Hua Fei was also worried that the fugitives would reveal the whereabouts of the army. Then he ordered the generals to lead the rest of the troops overnight and quietly move in the direction of White Emperor City.

This night, Hua Fei and Xu Shu were busy in a temporary place of residence. It wasn't until dawn that I breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhang Demei, who was white-skinned and beautiful, hurriedly came to the front with a drizzle. smiled at him slightly, and turned to report: "Lord! The latest military intelligence came from Yizhou. ”

Hua Fei stretched out his hand and said urgently: "Read!" ”

Zhang Demei saluted Hua Fei, unfolded his hands and said: "Yangcheng Hou, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, govern the twelve counties and one hundred and forty-six counties of Yizhou. ”

Hua Fei's heart was suddenly shocked when he heard this! Secretly said: "This Yizhou is worthy of being one of the three major states of Hanwei, and the counties under its jurisdiction are as high as one hundred and forty-six, no wonder Liu Bei has the ability to resist Cao Cao for so many years." ”

But he heard Zhang Demei read again: "In his hands, there are refugees from Sanfu and Nanyang who have flowed into Shuzhong, and a Dongzhou soldier has formed a city with more than 40,000 troops. In addition, there are more than 80,000 elite soldiers under the command of his headquarters, with a total strength of more than 130,000 people. ”

"Shhh Hua Fei gasped when he heard this. Liu Yan, Hua Fei knows him. If it weren't for Liu Yan's suggestion that the imperial court set up the position of state pastor that combines military power and political power, the Han Dynasty would not have been so chaotic.

Therefore, in Hua Fei's opinion, among the culprits of the chaos, this Liu Yan must also be counted as one. It's just that Hua Fei never expected that this Liu Yan would accumulate so many soldiers.

It is no wonder that Liu Biao will play Chang'an, saying that Liu Yan has the ambition to establish himself as the emperor. It seems that this is not just because Liu Yan privately built up to a thousand Luan cars that can only be ridden by the Son of Heaven and used them for riding.

Liu Yan had so many troops, which gave Dehuafei a big headache. 20,000 against 130,000, it's not a matter of five to one, but to the extent that he has reached the level of six to one.

In addition, since ancient times, Yizhou has been a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the so-called Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky! Hua Fei's heart was inevitably a little uneasy.

On the same day, after Zhang Demei finished reporting the information, she saw that Hua Fei was extremely tired, but she still held on to discuss the military situation in Yizhou with Xu Shu, who was also tired, so she quietly retreated.

Xu Shu saw Zhang Demei retreating, so he got up and clasped his fists and saluted Hua Fei: "Lord! The enemy army is so strong that our army may not be its enemy, so how about taking Jiaozhou in the south? ”

Hua Fei looked at the northwest, slowly turned the Buddha bead in his palm, and only after a long time did he start to say: "Yuan Zhi!" Although Liu Yan's troops are numerous, this Yizhou is not a very stable place. ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "To the south of Yizhou, there are Nanban who often make trouble; In the west, there are also Xiqiang, who often commit offenses; In its north, it is adjacent to Chang'an; As for Liu Biao's Jingzhou in the east, it was already at odds with Liu Yan, and he had to divide his troops to guard it. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he frowned and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "What the lord said, of course, is reasonable. It's just that with our remaining troops of less than 20,000, if we want to forcibly take Xichuan, it will be difficult for our hearts to be at ease. ”

Hua Fei listened, waved his hand in the faint sandalwood fragrance and smiled: "Don't worry Yuanzhi, I don't mean to take Xichuan by force, I have other plans in my heart." ”

Xu Shu heard the words and wanted to ask, but saw Hua Fei wave his hand and said: "Yuan Zhi, don't ask more, you just need to help me arrange manpower and sneak the army into the vicinity of Jiangzhou in batches." ”

Xu Shu saw that Hua Fei had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to clench his fists and respond, "Oh!" ”

But Hua Fei said again: "Yuan Zhi! I just heard Zhang Demei say, then Liu Yan's place of governance is in Mianzhu, right? ”

Xu Shu hugged his fists when he heard this: "If you go back to the lord, Liu Yan's governance is indeed in Mianzhu." ”

Hua Fei waved his hand and shouted, "That's good!" ”

In an instant, he was sure that his judgment was not wrong. So he confidently discussed with Xu Shu in detail on various matters related to the dispatch of troops.

Hua Fei, who was busy, had no way of knowing that a matter related to him and a lifelong event was quietly developing. (To be continued.) )
