Lou Lu was so excited by Liu Xiu that he didn't wait to return to the big city, so he took his Black Feather Wei and left without hesitation.

The wind lives, the clouds open, and it appears. The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Like that day in Jiuyuan, the Changshui camp returned to the big city fortress in a beautiful manner, and the twenty advocates of the Son of Heaven greeted each other at the city gate, and as soon as they saw the battle flag of the Changshui camp, they puffed up their cheeks and blew a majestic triumphal song.

Wei stood at the head of the city, watching the majestic Lu Bu and Zhao Yun enter the city side by side, causing bursts of blowing, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Years of waiting finally came to fruition, and what Lu Bu had before was not gone with the wind at this moment.

Fengxue was draped in a big hat, shrunk behind the female wall, looking at Wei who was crying and fell to the ground, his nose was sour, but he didn't know whether it was envy or resentment. Liu Xiu took the 5,000 Changshui battalion out of the fortress for half a month, fought thousands of miles, won three battles and three victories, killed nearly 10,000 Xianbei people, captured countless trophies, and made a good start for her military career, it is said that she should be happy, but when she thought that Liu Xiu killed her people, and Huai Zong died under his conspiracy and tricks in the first place, she couldn't be happy.

Chen Chen had a cold face, looked at the soldiers who slowly entered the city, looked at the people cheering in the middle of the road, and shook his head helplessly. He expressed his disapproval of the simple happiness of the people, although he was not good at economics, but he also knew that Liu Xiu obtained these spoils of war was far from compensating for his efforts.

Where did he get all that money? Chen Chen couldn't figure it out, just with the two noodle restaurants he opened in Luoyang, it seemed that he couldn't make so much money. Besides, how can anyone take their own money to fight for the country, this is not their own business.

"Sir, what are you thinking about?" Yuan Shao appeared in front of him with a smile on his face, and after bowing his hand, he habitually pressed his left hand on the knife ring, and his right hand was behind him. The smile on Chen Chen's face froze, and he teased: "Originally, you are really a famous general now." ”

Yuan Shao put down his hand in a daze, and covered the ring knife with a big sword. "Sir, he's still so old-fashioned."

"It's the wrong word." Chen Chen walked forward slowly, and Yuan Shao respectfully followed behind. "Originally, do you know why your uncle asked me to follow you to Northern Xinjiang?"

"Please give me advice."

"It's just to make you not forget who you are." Chen Chen turned his head and glanced at him with stern eyes, seeing Yuan Shao shudder: "Do you think you can be stronger than Zhang Ranming with soldiers?" ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, thinking that now people who don't know the military can be the captain of the head of the Three Princes, what happened to Zhang Ranming? Whether it's my father or uncle, I probably won't be able to be a lieutenant in this life.

"Your Majesty behaved in Luoyang at a loss, and your uncle intended to send Yuan Hui into the palace." Chen Chen turned sideways and said softly: "You also have your military achievements, is it possible that you still have to stay in the northern Xinjiang and give Yuan Shu a good opportunity?" ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, and his face turned cold.

After the party was dissolved, the vitality of the world's celebrities gradually recovered, and many people went to Luoyang. Originally, Luoyang now lacked a young talent like you to be a leader. Chen Chen said earnestly.

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time and nodded: "Let me think about it." ”

…… Liu Xiu strode into the house, but he didn't see Feng Xue come out to greet him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and while casually untying the big snow and throwing it to Hao Zhao, he shouted: "Feng Xue, Feng Xue, my lord, I'm back." ”

"I'm back, I'm back, what are you yelling for?" The wind and snow slowly came out from behind, and there was a black spot on the tip of the nose. She looked at Liu Xiu, stood there with her hands twisted, and sniffled from time to time.

Liu Xiudaqi: "What's wrong?" Could it be that someone dares to bully you when I'm not there? ”

"I'm just a prisoner, and being bullied isn't what I should do." Feng Xue muttered in reply, taking the big coat from Hao Zhao's hand and folding it twice, and walked towards the inner room.

"Fengxue, who bullied you, tell me, I'll beat him up for you." Zhang Fei screamed in his throat, his voice was so loud that he startled Feng Xue, even Liu Xiu was startled, and finally scared himself, covered his mouth embarrassedly, and apologized again and again.

Liu Xiu stepped forward, looked Fengxue's face up and down, and asked with concern, "What's going on?" ”

Feng Xue was a little embarrassed by him, and turned around shyly: "It's really nothing, don't ask, you didn't bully me." ”

"Nothing?" Liu Xiu touched his chin and looked at Fengxue's body, "I don't believe it, I beat Helian so much that I didn't even dare to go out of the camp, you didn't mean to be happy at all, don't you ......?"

"What's the use of defeating Helian, he's just a waste." Feng Xue couldn't help but look at him, and sneered: "When can you defeat Uncle Murong, you are the real hero." ”

"Murong Feng?" Liu Xiu laughed twice and shook his hand, "Don't say it, Murong Feng and Tanaka Lang are fighting fiercely in the Yunzhong area, and the two sides are evenly matched, to be honest, I don't see what he is famous for." Besides, isn't your father Fengri, who is as famous as him, also a famous general under Tanshi Huai, don't you ...... the same?"

Liu Xiu saw that Fengxue's face was wrong, so he quickly closed his mouth and pumped himself in the mouth. Feng Xue was originally very angry, but when he blamed himself so much, he couldn't help laughing. While pouring tea for Liu Xiu, she said, "Then you are wrong." If you hadn't cheated in front of the battle, would you have been able to beat my Abba? I can tell you that my father is easily unconvinced, but he does not have any contempt for two people, one is King Tanshi Huai, and the other is Uncle Murong. Helian is nothing, he just read a few books of your Han people, and he thinks that he is a smart person, and he looks down on him, looks down on you, and even his elder brother doesn't pay attention to him......"

Liu Xiu was suspicious, and he received a military report from Tian Yan on the way, saying that he led the Han and Hungarian 20,000 troops to fight fiercely with Murong Feng, from Pingcheng to Yunzhong, and the two sides were evenly matched, but Murong Feng definitely could not enter Wuyuan to threaten his flank, so please rest assured that he would fight. Liu Xiu was a little strange, because Duan Cheng said that Murong Feng and Feng Crack were the two most capable generals under Tan Shihuai, and Xia Yu and Tian Yan were not their opponents, why was Tian Yan so fierce this time that he beat Murong Feng to lose his temper?

Now listening to Feng Xue's words, he feels that there is something wrong with this. He Lian fought a few times, he roughly agreed with Feng Xue's evaluation of He Lian, this is a person who overly advocates the so-called resourcefulness, but does not know how to use the strength in his hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a scholar, not to mention that war is not just a strategy, many times it requires a decision on the spot, and a duel that requires courage. In a place like the grassland, where force and military exploits are more admired, he is indeed a piece of, which is also Xi Zhicai's evaluation of him.

In other words, whether it is Xi Zhicai, Feng Xue, or Duan Cheng, their evaluation of Murong Feng will not be wrong, Tian Yan's current record has water, and there is a lot of water. As for whether this water was mixed in by Tian Yan himself, or whether Murong Feng released the water, it is impossible to say.

The latter is obviously more worrisome.

Liu Xiu calmed down, and carefully learned about Helian and Murong Feng from Fengxue, with the incident that Fengxue said, the suspicion in Liu Xiu's heart became heavier and heavier, and the joy of winning the battle just now disappeared.

He pondered alone for a long time, and suddenly said to Feng Xue: "Feng Xue, is the iron wolf reliable?" ”

"Of course it's reliable." Feng Xue said without thinking.

"Okay, I'll let him go. You let him tell you Abba and Brother, and let them beware of the revenge of the Bullet Sweat Mountain. ”

"Revenge?" Feng Xue was puzzled and laughed, but she didn't laugh out loud, she smelled an ominous smell from Liu Xiu's heavy face, and gradually became nervous. "It's you Han people who are fighting with them, what does it matter to our Niutou tribe."

"Because of you." Liu Xiu slowly turned his head and looked directly into Feng Xue's eyes: "Because of you, I'm worried that Danhan Mountain will be unfavorable to the Niutou Tribe." If the warriors of the Niutou tribe are in the hands of your Abba, I don't have to worry at all, Tanshi Huai will not attack him at the cost of losing both, but now that your Abba is in Ding Ling, the strength of the Niutou tribe is all in the hands of your Brother Split Wind, and he is not the opponent of Tanshi Huai. ”

"Me?" Feng Xue was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

"It's all my negligence." Liu Xiu patted his head in annoyance, "I shouldn't have asked you to persuade Adella in the first place." You think, Adella made a camp record, but you don't have anything to do, can she not hate you? If she sends the news back and says that you colluded with us to cause her to be robbed, then can Tanshi Huai sit idly by? ”

Feng Xue's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with one hand, for fear that she couldn't help but scream. Although she has practiced swordsmanship and has always boasted that she is no worse than men, she is still confused in the face of the life and death of the Niutou tribe. Soon, Liu Xiu asked people to raise the iron wolf from the prison, and Fengxue followed Liu Xiu's instructions and asked the iron wolf to immediately rush back to the Niutou tribe to report the news, so that the crack wind was on guard, and it was best to keep a certain distance from the sandalwood locust, and if possible, let the wind crack come back to preside over the overall situation.

Liu Xiu finally said to the iron wolf, the reputation of your family is bad in my hands, I am very sorry, in order to express my apologies, I am willing to provide some of the living materials you urgently need as compensation. However, this is not official, so it can't be made too obvious, I write you a letter, you let Wind Crack do what I am told on the letter, and he can get what he wants.

The iron wolf was dizzy, and before he could figure out what was going on, he took the letter written by Liu Xiu and left in a hurry with two horses. After sending away the iron wolf, Fengxue was still not at ease, and he was going back and forth in the house, so that Liu Xiu's eyes were dizzy, so he had to persuade: "You can rest assured, even if Tan Shihuai gets the news now, he will not deal with them immediately, no matter what, he has to finish this battle." As long as there are no accidents with the iron wolf, there will be no danger to the Minotaur Tribe. ”

"What if Uncle Iron Wolf has an accident?"

"Impossible, he is a famous condor archer on the grassland, and I asked him to pretend that he escaped, without a good reason, who dares to hurt him?" Liu Xiu said with great confidence.

Seeing that Liu Xiu said so confidently, Fengxue finally settled down a little. She said to Liu Xiu gratefully: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise the Niutou tribe will be finished." ”

Liu Xiu was a little disappointed, and it was because of me that the Niutou tribe was really finished. Regardless of whether the iron wolf will be caught, or whether the letter on his body will fall into the hands of Tanshi Huai, as long as Crack Wind leaves Danhan Mountain with the men and horses of the Niutou Tribe, the suspicion between Wind Crack and Tanshi Huai will be difficult to make up. With the surname of Wind Split, he probably won't explain to Tanshi Huai in a low voice, as for Tanshi Huai, if he was willing to explain to others, probably he wouldn't be able to do this position today.

"I know, Ding Ling is too bitter, and your father has also been hurt too badly by me, so I am also talking about my heart." Liu Xiu said quietly. "By the way, have you practiced calligraphy well these days, and let me check it. It's not well written, but it's going to be punished—"

Perhaps it was Liu Xiu's arrangement of the Niutou tribe that made her feel happy, Feng Xue smiled and pouted: "I copied a part of Allah's scriptures so that you know that the power of Allah is no worse than those gods you believe in, and only Allah, the Almighty, is the only true God who created heaven and earth, and it is He who created the seven substances to create this world." ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Xiu felt a headache, he now roughly knew that this Persian Sect that worships fire and the Ming Sect in martial arts novels may be the same thing, but you are not Xiao Zhao, I am not Zhang Wuji, and I don't want to go to the top of the light, what are you doing so tirelessly instilling teachings in me. He reluctantly took the scripture that had been copied seriously from Feng Xue's hand, glanced at it hastily, and put it aside.

"Okay, when Mrs. Lu comes, I'll show her that she might understand. I'm tired, my lord, I want to sleep. Liu Xiu ran away as if he got up and ran.

"Alas-" Feng Xue picked up the scriptures and shouted while chasing: "Don't run, don't look at that witch, I'll explain it to you, it's easy to understand" When she chased to ......the door, Liu Xiu had already closed the door, and Wang Zhi stood at the door with a cover roll, stroking his beard very innocently. Fengxue blushed, stomped his feet, and turned away.

The next day, Liu Xiu went to Xun You as soon as he finished breakfast, Xun You's illness has not been cured, and he has not been well cared for during the march, even if Wang Zhi gives him a needle every day for a long time, it is only to keep it from deteriorating. Wang Zhi said that his body was too weak, and he suffered from the wind and cold this time, and if he was not treated well, he might fall ill in the future. Liu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and wanted to arrange a room for him in his yard, but Xun You refused, and he insisted on living in the post house.

"Gongda, are you better?" When Liu Xiu entered the door, Xun You was half-lying on the quilt, and was fed porridge by a maid. The porridge is the medicinal porridge specially treated by Wang Zhi, and I smell a medicinal fragrance from afar.

"Much better, thank you for your concern." may be because he finally slept peacefully, Xun You's face is indeed much better. The fire in the house was full of fire, and there was a slight layer of sweat on Xun You's head. "It's a waste of so much firewood."

"No waste. I am going to pull all those Xianbei captives to dig coal, and I will not need firewood to build a stove in the future. Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and patted Xun You's hand gently: "There is half of your credit for this." ”

"Coal?" Xun You was stunned.

"Oh, it's the coal." Liu Xiu explained: "That is, the stone Nirvana mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. ”

"Coals are stones?" Xun You was surprised.

"I don't know?" Liu Xiu blew with him for a while, and the coal mine over there in Pingcheng turned out to be a forest, but it was buried underground, and it took countless years before it became coal. As he spoke, he also talked about Wolf Mountain, there are many fossils on the surface of the Wolf Mountain, and people often pick up stone chips with animals on them, what are the animals on it, they are creatures that lived on the earth a long, long time ago, but now most of them are extinct.

Xun You listened very happily, most of the time he was listening to Liu Xiu, he just looked at Liu Xiu intently. He found that Liu Xiu rarely told jokes when he was fighting, especially before deciding on a battle plan, he often looked at the map for a long time and pondered, repeatedly calculating various possible surnames. And at this moment, Liu Xiu showed another side of talkativeness, which surprised Xun You very much. Although Liu Xiu is also a disciple of the Great Confucian, he never talks about the sage classics, and what he says is so fresh.

"Adults don't usually say it, but they also read thousands of books." Xun You praised it.

Liu Xiu laughed, hurriedly stopped the conversation, and then revealed the stuffing. He hurriedly explained his intention and told Xun You about his worries. Xun You pondered for a moment, "The adult's concern is very reasonable, Murong Feng's move is very suspicious. ”

"What do we think we should do?"

"My lord, do you want to fight again?" Xun You asked rhetorically.

Liu Xiu thought about this question yesterday, he didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Whether to fight or not depends on whether there is a chance or not." Judging from the current situation, our results are barely plausible, and it seems that there is no need to blindly pursue and expand them. Gandhara has gathered more than 20,000 troops together, and if he doesn't separate, we won't have much chance. ”

"Yes, the gentleman sees the opportunity to do it, the adult knows how to advance and retreat, and if he doesn't force it, it will become a big thing in the future." Xun You praised Liu Xiu thoughtlessly, and then said: "In that case, then the adults don't give him a big gift?" ”

"Sending Adella back?"

"Of course it's not just her." Xun You laughed weakly: "There is also Murong Feng's conspiracy." ”

Liu Xiu smiled, he thought about the result in the middle of the night yesterday, Xun You came up with it in the blink of an eye, no wonder this guy is a genius of the Three Kingdoms, just as unfathomable as Jia Xu's guy, and his heart is exquisite. Thinking of Jia Xu, Liu Xiu was suddenly shocked, he understood the meaning of Xun You's words just now, and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "Gongda...... Going back? ”

"Yes, I'm not used to the soil and water, I'm very sick, it seems that I have to go back to my hometown to recuperate." Xun You let go of Liu Xiu's eyes with some shame, "I am really grateful to be able to follow the adults to fight, I have a lot of knowledge, and I have to be taken care of by the adults." ”

Liu Xiu scratched his sideburns helplessly, and didn't say anything more, since Xun You had already spoken to this point, he couldn't force him to stay. The Xun family is a famous man in Yingchuan, and joining the army is definitely not their best choice, even if Xun You is a good soldier, even if he is born with extraordinary talent in tactics.

"Gongda, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't dare to force it. It is my pleasure to have your help this time. Liu Xiu reluctantly took Xun Yu's hand, and wanted to ask Xun Yu, but when he wanted to ask, he asked in vain, so let's talk about it later.

"Thank you, sir." Xun You closed his eyes a little tiredly.

Liu Xiu walked out of the post house a little dazed, standing in the bright sun, but he felt that there was some darkness in front of him. He took two deep breaths, squeezed out a bright smile, slowly returned to his residence, let the wind and snow wear down the ink, wrote his own pen, and wrote the first handwritten letter to the Son of Heaven since the expedition. There is no other purpose, just to solemnly recommend Xun Yu to the Son of Heaven, hoping that he will not miss such a talent because of the rejection of celebrities and celebrities. Regarding the course of this war, he only said a few words lightly, and Liu Biao would pass on the specific situation in great detail.

Then, he wrote another letter to Duan Cheng, in which he analyzed his concerns in detail, hoping that Duan Cheng could come forward to remind Tian Yan. Tian Yan is in a mood for him now, and it is inconvenient for him to say more, but if he sits idly by, it is likely to lead to unpredictable results. Now His Majesty has not authorized him the right to command Tian Yan, and if he wants to coordinate the two parallel military forces in Northern Xinjiang, he can only rely on Duan Cheng's personal charm.

Liu Xiu asked Duan Cheng to temporarily move from Jinyang to Yanmen to coordinate the actions of the two armies nearby. If the army is united, it is still possible to win a few more battles, but if it is still divided and ruled as Tian Yan said, neither he nor Tian Yan will have enough strength to achieve further results.

The next day, Yu Fuluo took a hundred elites and escorted Mrs. Lu to Dachengsai. Seeing Liu Xiu again, especially seeing Yu Guduhou sitting with Liu Xiu gossiping, Yu Fuluo was very embarrassed. In order to relieve the siege, Lu said to Liu Xiu that after Tian Yan's arrangement, Shan Yu ordered the right sage Wang Qiangqu and the Marquis of Dangyu Gudu to cooperate with Liu Xiu in the battle before leaving, and all actions were commanded by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked where Qiangqu's army was now. Yu Fuluo said that the army was still near Manbo, and after the Duliao camp followed Tian Yan's campaign, Manbo had no troops to garrison, and they temporarily supplemented the defense there to prevent the Xianbei people from breaking through and entering a no-man's land. If the adults need it, they will immediately move west.

"No, I'm going to Manbo soon, and Lord Wada will become a horn." Liu Xiu said. He was very worried about Tian Yan, if he was defeated by Murong Feng, then this battle would be a mess. Stationed in Manbai, not only can support Tian Yan from one side and reduce his pressure, but also put pressure on Jiuyuan's landed Qianluo Luo and Helian, so as to facilitate the implementation of the strategy agreed upon by him and Xun You.

Liu Xiu said to Fuluo again, Loulu has returned to Shanggu, and there is a lack of elite knights around me to be guarded and ridden, when Yu Guduhou sent me fifty people, do you also support me a little? No more, fifty is enough. Yu Fuluo was overjoyed, patted his chest and said, what are you talking about, I am the adult's personal guard riding Sima, and my hundred people are all the adult's personal guard horse.

Liu Xiu smiled secretly and glanced at the Lu family, who smiled quietly. Liu Xiu knew that this time the Lu clan had a great deal of credit for pretending to be a ghost, and even the most arrogant Qiangqu was subdued, not to mention the others.

It seems that these Taoist priests and aunts are really a sharp weapon if they are used well.

(To be continued)
