"Captain Shi Gaozhan of Dongyi, meet Liu Yuanjun!"

Liu Kun looked at Gao Zhan, the envoy of Liaodong who was standing respectfully in front of him, with an inquiring gaze, and was full of curiosity about Wei Shuo, who had only heard of his name but had not seen him. With his understanding of Zu Ti, if Wei Shuo didn't have any real skills, Zu Ti would definitely not look at him differently.

"I heard that Captain Wei drove away Pingzhou Thorn Shi Cui Yu and monopolized the entire Liaodong County?"

In the face of Liu Kun's sudden attack, Gao Zhan asked unhurriedly: "Liu Tingshi, don't you know that Cui Yu is a fellow party of the rebellious Youzhou Wang Jun in the imperial court?" Wang Jun rebelled, set up a private platform in Youzhou, and prepared hundreds of officials, which caused anger and resentment. As the assassin of Pingzhou appointed by the imperial court, Cui Yu not only did not stop Wang Jun, but instead aided the abuse and accepted the position of Dongyi lieutenant appointed by Wang Jun privately. ”

"The lord of my family couldn't bear the oppression of the people of Liaodong by Wang Jun and Cui Yu, so he had no choice but to unite with the former Dongyi school captain Feng Lao to curb Cui Yu's expansion in Liaodong. Later, Mr. Feng knew that he was old, so he recommended my family to King Langya to succeed him as the captain of Dongyi. ”

"I didn't expect that Cui Yu knew that my lord had won the favor of King Langya, and he didn't hesitate to contact Duan, Yuwen, Goguryeo and other Hu armies to attack Xi'anping. Fortunately, my family was blessed with a great fate, and it took a huge price to defeat the Hu coalition army, and then drive Cui Yu to unify Liaodong County. ”

"Liu Tingshi, since my lord has accepted the appointment of the imperial court, shouldn't he send troops to recruit the rebellious Cui Yu?"

Gao Zhan said this, don't say that Liu Kun is Cui Lin, who is also a disciple of the Cui family, and he is speechless. As Cui Yu's own brother, Cui Lin knows how stupid and incompetent Cui Yu is, he is a typical example whose ambition is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.

After being silent for a while, Liu Kun asked again: "Why did Lord Wei send you to my state?" ”

"Alas!" Gao Zhan deliberately sighed and said, "It's hard to say! Now the situation in Youzhou is critical, and my lord is beyond the reach of his father-in-law. I hope that the state can send troops to help, otherwise Youzhou will fall into the hands of Shi Le sooner or later. ”

"The situation in Youzhou is critical? This...... How is this possible? ”

"Don't you know that Shile has seized Jizhou?"

Gao Zhan was stunned, and then he slapped his head before he suddenly realized that Liu Kun had been at war with the Xiongnu Han State some time ago, and he had just returned to Yangqu before he had time to sort out the military situation from Youzhou.

When Liu Kun and Wen Qiao heard that the situation in Youzhou had changed drastically, they couldn't take care of anything else, and hurriedly asked people to withdraw the banquet. Summoned all the staff and subordinates to the Assassin's Mansion to discuss the military situation. In front of the civil and military officials of the two states, Gao Zhan told in detail about the recent events in the two states.

"Ming Gong, Duan's betrayal, Jizhou is lost, this time Wang Tingshi is afraid that it will be difficult to escape!"

"Yes, Jizhou was originally a buffer between Wang Jun and Shi Le, but now the buffer is lost and the strong reinforcements are betrayed, Wang Jun is afraid that it will be more auspicious!"

Gao Zhan just finished speaking. Liu Kun's staff chattered and quarreled, anyway, there was everything, and some people even suggested that Liu Kun take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Youzhou regardless of the actual situation. Liu Kun was a little noisy, and he didn't know who to listen to, and finally left the table alone depressed, leaving Gao Zhan stunned.

Originally, Gao Zhan also admired Liu Kun for guarding Jinyang alone, but after seeing the mess of the civil and military forces in Bingzhou, Liu Kun's beautiful image in his mind completely collapsed. Don't look at the fact that he hasn't been in contact with Liu Kun for a long time. But it is clear that Liu Kun's talent in military and political affairs is far inferior to Wei Shuo.

Wei Shuo's situation when he first arrived in Liaodong was not much better than when Liu Kun first arrived in Jinyang. But Wei Shuo was able to at least open up the situation in Liaodong through his efforts and recover the land of the two counties. And Liu Kun has been a state assassin for many years, but he has never been able to save the situation, and his parents lost their lives because of this.

After Liu Kun returned to the backyard, he was still troubled. Liu Kun is a person who, to put it bluntly, is too literati and too emotional. They don't think rationally, and they lack the decisiveness to choose from a variety of options. Now that Youzhou is in danger, anyone with insight will quickly send troops to rescue Youzhou, but Liu Kun is still hesitating.

Liu Kun thought alone for most of the day. Still nothing. In addition to being bored, he suddenly thought of Gao Zhan from Youzhou, and Liu Kun ordered someone to invite Gao Zhan to the mansion. Originally, Gao Zhan was wandering around the city, but he didn't expect to receive an invitation from the Assassin's Mansion, Gao Zhan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the visitor to the Assassin's Mansion.

"Meet Lord Thorn."

Liu Kun drank a glass of wine lightly, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Gao Changshi, don't be polite, please take a seat!" I was suddenly very curious about Lord Wei, and I wanted to know more about his situation, I wonder if Gao Changshi would like to solve my doubts? ”

Gao Zhan's heart moved when he heard this, with a person as emotional as Liu Kun, if Liu Kun could get to know Wei Shuo more, maybe it would change Wei Shuo's image in Liu Kun, and then affect some of his decisions.

"Speaking of which, my lord Wei Shuo is also a hero, when he was in Xuzhou, he cooperated with General Zu to defeat thousands of Hun cavalry, and later General Zu relied on this credit to be promoted to Xuzhou Assassin History, and Wei Xiaowei did not receive any reward because of the conflict with the Wang family, for this matter Liu Kui Liu also had in front of the King of Langya for my lord Gong Grievance."

"After the end of the war in Xuzhou, Captain Wei went to Liaodong alone in order to prepare for the cavalry. Unexpectedly, when Goguryeo led troops to invade the two counties of Daifang and Lelang, Wei Xiaowei couldn't bear the suffering of the people of the two counties, so he led the troops to resist the invasion of Goguryeo together with the county commander of the Yu clan and Lord Zhang Tong. ”

With the joint efforts of the three adults, tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops were finally defeated, and the people of Daifang and Lelang counties were successfully moved to live in the southeast of Liaodong. I thought that after this war, the people of Liaodi would finally be able to live in peace, but I didn't think that Pingzhou Assassin Shi Cui Yu was jealous of Captain Wei, and actually colluded with the Hu people from various departments to commit crimes. ”

"The later events of the assassin are known to the adults, tens of thousands of Hu allied troops were wiped out, Cui Tingshi was also driven out of Xiangping, and Lord Wei officially took over Liaodong County."

Gao Zhan said a few words, and told Wei Shuo's experience in detail. Unexpectedly, Liu Kun was fascinated by it for a while, although Gao Zhan spoke lightly, but it was a different scene in his ears. At the same time, a question slowly appeared in his mind, Wei Shuo was able to make a name for himself in the cold land of Liaodong, why did he move in Bingzhou?

"Lord Wei is really a hero, a great hero!" Liu Kun couldn't help muttering to himself.

Listening to Liu Kun's unconscious whispering, the corners of Gao Zhan's mouth twitched, revealing a knowing smile.

"My lord is familiar with the ancestral assassin history, and I have heard a lot about the deeds of the assassin from him, and I also admire you a lot. This time, I sent down, firstly, to express my admiration for Lord Thorn Shi, and secondly, I hope that Lord Thorn Shi can give up his previous grievances and take the initiative to send troops to help Youzhou. ”

"Gao Changshi, why did Lord Wei have to rescue Wang Jun? Didn't you just denounce each other as a rebel against the court? ”

Due to previous grievances, Liu Kun was not too concerned about rescuing Wang Jun.

"Lord Assassin Shi, Wang Jun is certainly hateful and deserves to die, but from the general situation, Wang Jun cannot be defeated, otherwise Shi Le will be unrestrained, and he can turn to attack the Central Plains and Hedong Prefectures. With the current strength of Lord Thorn Shi, can you have the confidence that the Shile army that came with victory at the beginning? ”

"Lord Assassin Shi and Wang Jun are the rare white jade pillars of the Jin family in the north, once defeated, the entire north will no longer have the Han power to suppress the Hu people. In that case, the imperial court in Guanzhong would be in danger. ”

After listening to Gao Zhan's analysis, Liu Kun realized how bad Wang Jun's defeat was for him, thinking of this, he smashed the wine bottle on the case, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that Gao Changshi has made up his mind, and he will never let Shi Le monopolize Youzhou!" ”

"Good! Lord Thorn Shi sent troops to help, and then Liaodong assisted from the side, to see how Na Shile still snatched Youzhou! ”

Hearing Liu Kun's personal promise to send troops to rescue Youzhou, Gao Zhan finally put his mind at ease and said secretly: I finally live up to the trust of the lord! However, in view of Liu Kun's indecisiveness and soft ears, in order to prevent accidents, Gao Zhan decided to stay in Bingzhou for the time being until the Youzhou crisis was resolved and then returned to Liaodong.

Liu Kun was very happy to learn that Gao Zhan was willing to stay in Bingzhou temporarily, although he only had contact for a short time, he had a good impression of Gao Zhan, especially the analysis of the current situation, which made Liu Kun even more respectful. (To be continued.) )
