Suzaku? It wasn't my choice, it was my dad's choice, and I don't know why. Can Suzaku be reborn from the fire like a phoenix, is this the meaning of Daddy, indicating that the once awesome family has embarked on a awesome journey again?

Liu Xiu muttered to himself, thinking about the possible development of the situation in Luoyang. As the saying goes, the rats on the ship are always the first to know that the ship is going to sink, Jia Xu is undoubtedly such a rat, he fled from Luoyang, and in a sense has judged that the chaos in Luoyang is inevitable. In fact, he can also imagine this, the Son of Heaven is smart, but he does not have great wisdom, does not have the patience and tenacity to survive in adversity, and the competition for various wealth between him and the powerful family will sooner or later provoke great changes and push the Han into the abyss.

He now knows that the reason why Liu Hong is called Emperor Ling of Han is not because of his cleverness, but because of his "chaos but not damage", that is, he has done a lot of bad things, but in the end it was not damaged, is it really not damaged? In the year of his death, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and later the Kwantung army rose up, and Luoyang was reduced to ashes in a fire.

From that day on, in fact, the big man was dead.

Speaking in detail, the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in history was a king of the dead country with a black cauldron, and the real king of the dead country was the chaotic and undamaged Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

What shall I use to save you, Luoyang?

"Wenhe, you can move your family to Jinyang." Liu Xiu stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, "I have a lot of things to do here, you go and take office immediately, and help me arrange the affairs of the counties along the border first." ”

Jia Xu nodded, asked Liu Xiu to arrange a palindrome first, sent those Lang officials who escorted him back, and then asked, "My lord, where are you going now?" ”

"Go to Meiji, I want to talk to Shan Yu." Liu Xiu touched the seal ribbon of the newly replaced Beizhong Lang General on his waist, and smiled slightly, now that Tian Yan is his subordinate, he doesn't have to think too much about it. The top priority is to put more pressure on the Huns and try to take some people from them.

Jia Xu didn't ask much, Liu Xiu wrote the letter of appointment, and he put it in his arms, even if he took office. Liu Xiu conveyed the edict of the Son of Heaven to Zhao Yun in Shuofang City, announced their new appointment, and told them that Shuofang and Yunzhong Taishou have been vacant for a long time, and you are doing Taishou as a long history, in fact, you are Taishou, after you arrive, the first thing is to gather the people, those who can be soldiers are soldiers, those who can be tuntian, how many people are in Tuntian, all report to me, I can count how many food shortages you have, and how many troops can be called.

Liu Xiu was not worried about Zhao Yun, but he was very worried about Lu Bu, and he said to Lu Bu, although you are too conservative, but you don't know much about governing the people except for fighting. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but you can't pretend to understand, I hope you listen to other people's opinions, especially Wang Lie's opinions. Although he has the temper of a famous man and is not easy to approach, I have talked to him a few times, and I know that he still has some ideas on Tuntian, and Shuofang now has a total of less than 20,000 people, so you can hand over the people of Tuntian to him, and take care of the military yourself.

Lu Bu hurriedly responded. He didn't care about the affairs of Tuntian, and he could take people to ride horses and shoot arrows every day, and occasionally go outside the plug to fight grass valleys or something, which was his favorite.

After Liu Xiu finished arranging his subordinates, he held a feast for Yuan Shao, and selected 1,500 elite cavalry to be brought back by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was excited, and a little reluctant, although he didn't like the life in the barracks very much, and he didn't like the rudeness of Lu Bu and the others, but after all, he had fought side by side with them for several months, and he still had some feelings, especially the feeling of blood when he was charging on a war horse, which made him a little addicted.

"I hope there will be a chance to fight with adults in the future." Yuan Shao held the wine glass and said to Liu Xiu with a smile.

"Don't worry, in the next big war, maybe Your Majesty will let the five schools of the Northern Army go out together, and you should be the captain of Changshui by then." Liu Xiu smiled and said: "At the beginning, you know books and etiquette, poetry and books, and your knowledge is many times better than mine, so you don't need me to tell you too much truth." I only hope you'll promise me a word. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and said sincerely.

"The sword in the hands of our warriors can only be aimed at the enemy, not the people of the Han Dynasty."

Yuan Shao hesitated a little: "My lord, the responsibility of the fifth colonel of the Northern Army is to protect Your Majesty, this is not a border army." ”

"I know." Liu Xiu sighed, knowing that it was difficult for his ideals to be copied to Yuan Shao's body, "I just hope that a young talent like you with ideals, ability, and insight can make people change their impression of martial artists, instead of despising and rejecting martial artists. ”

Yuan Shao nodded solemnly: "It will definitely live up to the expectations of adults." ”

Zhao Yun and the others came over one by one, saying goodbye to Yuan Shao, Liu Biao was the last, he smiled and said to Yuan Shao: "Originally, you went back to the prosperous Luoyang, but don't forget your colleagues who are lying on the ice and swallowing the snow with you, don't forget the experience of trekking the snowfield, and don't forget that there are friends here." ”

"Jingsheng, the experience of following the adults to fight is a memory that I will never forget in my life." Yuan Shao was so moved that his eyes moistened, he raised his glass and drank it all, and sang in a hoarse voice: "The flag is cracked, the snow is full of sky, and the man's pride is as strong as a mountain." The north wind is tight, the enemy is blazing, and they all raise their swords and rush forward......"

This is a war song sung by soldiers in the army, vulgar and straightforward, and does not pay attention to too much rhyme, just roared out with a breath of heroism, Yuan Shao is usually reluctant to sing, now that the breakup is imminent, he is excited, and he drank some wine, usually those reserved are all left behind by him at the moment, and his brain is hot, and he roars out loudly.

Zhao Yun and others responded loudly.

"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, and the big man is so heroic. The heart is hot, the blood is burning, and it lives up to the high hall and the king. General Wei, Huo Haoyao, heroes and look at the ...... of today"

Chen Chen sighed softly, and stopped talking. For more than half a year, he didn't know if the Yuan Shao in front of him was still the original Yuan Shao, watching him and a group of soldiers roaring nonsense tunes with all their might, he didn't know what to say.

Yuan Shao burst into tears and danced generously.

…… Liu Xiu rushed to Meiji with the guard battalion, and Tian Yan and Shan Yu personally greeted him. This time, Tian Yan fought meritoriously and was rewarded, but he was scolded by Duan Cheng in private. Duan Cheng said, if you didn't delay the fighter and had to compete with Liu Xiu, the two of you would work together, it would be entirely possible to clean up Murong Feng, at least tear off a large piece of his meat, it's good now, you basically have no results to speak of, if it weren't for Lu Bu and Xu Huang to fight more with less, you would have been defeated in the hands of Murong Feng. That's how you give Lao Tzu a long face? The old department and the disciples competed for merit, and when this matter spread to Luoyang, what face did Lao Tzu have at all?

Tian Yan was very arrogant in front of others, but he was as well-behaved as a grandson in front of Duan Cheng, and he was very embarrassed to see Liu Xiu, who had become his boss at this moment. However, Liu Xiu didn't care about this matter, after all, it was already in the past, and it was not interesting to mention it again. He said to Tian Yan, I came this time just to squeeze some oil from the Huns, and you have to cooperate with me.

Tian Yan nodded again and again, if he said that he still had the capital to compete with Liu Xiu in the war, playing these methods, he could only beat the side drum for Liu Xiu and help the level. And he inherited Duan Cheng's temper, he didn't have a good face for these Qiang people and Huns, if possible, it was best to kill them directly with a knife.

Shan Yu saw Liu Xiu again, his attitude was even more humble, he had already elected a new great wizard, the great wizard got a revelation from the gods told him to be friends with the Han people, don't get involved with the Xianbei people, especially the new Lord Liu, you are good to him, he is the fire you can warm up in winter, if you want to play tricks with him, you will be burned to ashes.

Shan Yu was very surprised, the gods specially warned him not to provoke Liu Xiu, this matter was serious. If you offend Liu Xiu, you will offend the gods, so who can withstand it.

Hu Zheng is now in an embarrassing situation, he is standing behind Shan Yu, and he wants to come over to greet Liu Xiu, but he is afraid that Liu Xiu will not give him face, so that he will not be able to get off the stage in front of everyone, so he can only look at Liu Xiu, especially Yu Fuluo behind Liu Xiu. When he thought of the supposedly very good relationship between Qiang Qu and Liu Xiu, his heart felt like a thorn in his heart.

After entering the account, Shan Yu set up a banquet for Liu Xiu to catch the wind, and everyone did not talk about official business, but drank happily. Last time, Shan Yu took an army of 20,000 to fight with Tian Yan and Murong Feng, because Murong Feng refused to fight, and he had been luring the enemy to go deeper, and the two sides actually did not fight a few times, Shan Yu had no losses, and there was no gain, and then he followed Liu Xiu to chase and settle Qianluoluo, but he picked up a little cheap, but it was not enough to make up for the consumption of his troops, even if he added the reward of the Son of Heaven, he still had a lot of economic losses.

"It's not strong enough." Liu Xiu drank so much that he slapped the case hard, and shouted loudly: "Shan Yu, I brought a few urns of Fen wine, how about you come and taste this wine." ”

Shan Yu hurriedly smiled playfully: "Then it would be cheeky to bother adults." ”

"Well, we're a family." Liu Xiu smiled heartily. A few guards brought up the wine, patted the sealing mud on it, and poured a bowl for everyone. The rich aroma of wine spread in the tent, and the Huns shouted and screamed, and they couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and drink it all, and suddenly screamed everywhere.

Shan Yu wiped the beads of wine on his beard and exclaimed excitedly: "What kind of wine is this, it is so fragrant." ”

"Fenjiu." Liu Xiu proudly pointed to the Lu family, who was sitting on the side and drank slowly, "Of course, this is not the original Fenjiu, but a new wine made from Shuzhong liquor." There is Madame's understanding of the way of heaven, so it is very mellow and fragrant. ”

Shan Yu hurriedly saluted the Lu family. Lu Shi showed unimaginable Taoist skills of the Huns when he assisted Shan Yuting in selecting a great wizard, for people like Liu Xiu who did not believe in Taoism, she was a magician at best, but for the Huns who believed in the gods, she was like a fairy, and Shan Yu's respect for her was even more than that of Liu Xiu, which was why Liu Xiu wanted to bring Lu over this time.

There was good wine to help the fun, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic, so Liu Xiu only took two urns out, otherwise these Huns with good wine and surnames would have to drink and lie down. It's just that in this way, these Huns didn't drink all their surnames, and they were a little interested in this Fenjiu.

…… After the banquet, Liu Xiu and Lu sat opposite each other, slowly sipping tea, Fengxue held his cheeks and listened, slowly unable to support it, his eyelids began to heavily, and he staggered against Liu Xiu's body, Liu Xiu personally carried her to the couch in the inner room, took off her coat, folded the quilt, and then walked out again.

Lu Shi suddenly said, "I...... Can you give an adult a pulse? ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, rolled up his arms and stretched out, Lu couldn't reach it, got up and moved over, sat down with Liu Xiu, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out three fingers, and put them on Liu Xiu's wrist. Her fingers were slender, her skin was delicate, white and red, and she had a soft sheen, and if you only looked at her hands, you would not have guessed that she was a young woman of nearly thirty years old, and even more durable than the wind and snow.

Liu Xiu's heart skipped twice, and Lu Shi sensitively noticed Liu Xiu's changes, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't speak, but his jade-like translucent ears turned a little red.

Lu Shi let go of Liu Xiu's wrist, sat back down, retracted his hand in his sleeve, and looked at Liu Xiu with curious eyes: "The adult meridians are smooth, the qi and blood are prosperous, and there are no hidden diseases, why...... Is this girl still a virgin? ”

Liu Xiu put down his sleeves, and when he heard this, he almost choked, he glared at Lu Shi for a long time, and then explained: "She is just waiting for me and doing some chores, and has no other meaning." ”

Lu Shi smiled slightly: "But my lord, the lonely yin is not born, the lonely yang is not long, the affairs of men and women, the common feelings of people, even if it is an ordinary soldier, you must set up a camp to comfort your heart." Adults disdain to go to that filthy place, it's also because of their status, but this woman ......"

Liu Xiu was very embarrassed, and said in his heart that you are a young widow and widow, it doesn't seem appropriate to say these things to me. He coughed for a day and covered up: "By the way, since Madame mentioned the matter of the camp record, I happen to have something to ask Madame for help." The health problems of this battalion should not be taken lightly, if the soldiers are infected, it will soon spread and affect the stability of the army's morale. Does Madame have the right way to control such a thing? ”

Lu Shi shook his head: "This is not what I am good at, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

"Aren't you a doctor of all kinds of skills?"

"But the Taoist priest didn't know how to cure flowers and willows." Lu Shi also felt a little embarrassed, and twisted his body uneasily: "I will pay attention to help the adult inquire, if there is such a medical master, I will introduce him to the adult." ”

"Thank you very much."

Lu Shi explained to Liu Xiu slightly, in fact, the so-called Taoism is also divided into many disciplines, some are good at medicine, some are good at martial arts, and some are good at illusion - spells and spells belong to the category of illusion, and some are good at alchemy.

As soon as alchemy was mentioned, Liu Xiu remembered the water incident in Buyunli, and he said to the Lu family, "What does Madame think about this?" ”

"Frying Ding is a very common thing in alchemy, but the general amount of medicine will not be too much, so there will not be so much movement when it is fried." Lu Shi said with some doubts: "I know that person Shi Zizhu, he has always been cautious, how could he make such a big mistake." ”

"Could it be related to Ma Yuanyi?" Liu Xiu said quietly: "I heard Yingzi say that the recipe was originally tested, but I don't know why, but something happened that day." ”

Lu was puzzled.

"Otherwise, I'll copy the recipe to you, and you can arrange for someone to try it?" Liu Xiu drank tea and said, "I think if this thing is done well, it may be a sharp weapon." ”

"Sharp weapons?" Lu Shi blinked, took the recipe written by Liu Xiu, and raised his eyebrows: "It's so simple? ”

The recipe for alchemy is the most important treasure for alchemists, it is easy not to show people, and the recipe is very complicated, there are often dozens of medicines, plus what kind of compatibility, monarchs and ministers and the like, anyway, it makes people confused and dizzy. There are only three kinds of gunpowder prescriptions that Liu Xiu gave to Lu, such as sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, and the proportions are also very simple, no wonder Lu finds it untrustworthy.

"The road is simple." Liu Xiu grinned and smiled: "Madame won't even know this sentence." ”

Lu Shi smiled awkwardly. The road is simple, everyone says so, but who really does it, which alchemist's recipe is so simple.

"Although these three things are simple, the things they make are definitely not simple. Just like the stirrup, it was nothing more than an iron ring, but it solved the knight's balance problem, freeing their hands, and the cavalry could henceforth focus on assassination, not just riding and slashing. In the past, it was a master who could hold a spear on a horse, but in the future, fighting with a spear is the basic ability of every knight. ”

Liu Xiu clapped his hands: "In other words, the thousand-person rider equipped with stirrups is the elite composed of a thousand masters, which is enough to defeat several times the enemy." That's technology...... No, it's the great power of Taoism. He pointed to the prescription on the case with no more than a dozen words written on it, "It's the same with this thing, if you want to tear down a yard like that, it may take several people to be busy for a day, but a few catties of medicinal powder can complete the same task in a moment." Madam, this is the real Taoism. ”

Lu Shi thoughtfully, folded the recipe carefully, and put it in his arms. "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to step up research and development."

"There's Mrs. Law." Liu Xiudao, "Let's try it in Jinyang, after all, this is a sharp weapon for killing, and it can't be used unless it is a last resort, if it falls into the hands of the young people and kills innocents indiscriminately, it will damage the way of heaven." You find reliable people, and I will pay for the money you need. ”

Lu Shi smiled and did not argue. They were gossiping and discussing Taoism, Wang Zhi suddenly opened the door of the tent and walked in, his face was pale, and his eyes were a little nervous: "My lord, Shan Yu is dead." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stood up: "Shan Yu...... How could it be dead? ”

Wang Zhi saw that his eyes were wrong, and hurriedly shook his hand: "It's not my hand, it's his own death, and it has nothing to do with me." He picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "It's too sudden, Hu Zheng is close at hand, and the Yan family is his biological mother, if nothing else, I'm afraid that the matter of adults blocking Hu Zheng's succession will come to naught." ”

Liu Xiu was relieved when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, Hu Zheng had a conflict with him, and he almost couldn't do Shan Yu, and now Shan Yu died suddenly before he had time to make changes, Hu Zheng was unexpectedly on the throne, would he destroy his plan to divide the Huns?

Fuck, after so long of a game, why did it suddenly turn over? Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and almost asked Wang Zhi to kill Hu Zheng now, but after thinking about it, since Shan Yu did not explicitly cancel Hu Zheng's inheritance before he died, then he was a legitimate Shan Yu, if he inserted a lever, not only would he provoke Hu Zheng's dissatisfaction, but also make other Huns feel threatened, and it was likely to cause chaos. Before you are absolutely sure, it is better to hold off and see how the call is handled.

Liu Xiu and Lu Shi glanced at each other, and suddenly smiled: "Madam, I'm going to make you out again." ”

Lu Shi smiled slightly: "I am willing to serve my lord." ”
