Under the hill outside Gaoxian County (now Tieling City) in Xuansu County, a sika deer dug through the thick snow and gnawed two mouthfuls of the dead grass under the snow, then raised his head and looked around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After two or three back-and-forths, it finally relented, lowered its head, and took a few bites.

A hundred steps away, Liu Bei rode a tall horse and hid behind a few big trees, pulled out the bow in his hand, looked at the deer from the gap in the tree, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and gently released the finger of the hook.

The flicking of the bowstring sounded very slight in the silence of the snowy forest, like the light clatter of the forest, but the arrow tore through the dry and cold air, and almost instantaneously flew in front of the deer, and with a thud, the shaft of the arrow sank into the deer's neck.

The sika deer jumped up, but only three or four feet high, and fell to the ground with a thud, and the hot blood poured out of the wound on all four feet, and the snow that melted away stained the blood red.

"Fu Jun is good at archery!" The soldier Cao Yi praised the horse, galloped to the deer, got off the horse, pulled out the arrow, wiped it clean in the snow, and put it in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei took the arrow, nodded and saluted, and put it into the quiver. Liu Yi picked up the deer with both hands and threw it on the horse's back, patted his hands and said with a smile: "A good deer skin can be made into a shawl, Madame will definitely like it very much." ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this arrow hole is not good in the end, when I meet a suitable raw capture, then it is called perfect." ”

Liu Yi laughed: "Madame is really fortunate to be so considerate by the prince. ”

The attendants next to him all laughed and praised. Liu Bei smiled silently, with a smug face. After he came to Liaodong, he heard that Tian Shao, the great man of Liaodong County, was very prestigious, so he sent Jian Yongmen to contact him, and after that, Liu Bei married Tian Shao's widowed daughter as his wife and became in-laws. The Tian family is two years older than him, and he looks average, but the Tian family is very powerful. Liu Bei married her, and she had help in Liaodong, and he was able to pacify Liaodong quickly, which had a lot to do with the help of the Tian family.

Of course, Liu Bei is very fond of this lady. From time to time, I show my affection in front of outsiders, and even when I go hunting, I have to hang the name of my wife. However, Tian's arrogant reputation is known to everyone, and everyone will not take the initiative to expose Liu Bei's lies, on the contrary, they will deliberately flatter the general.

Liu Bei waved his hand, and the attendants went to look for traces of the beast again, leaving only Jian Yong by his side. Several cronies were around Jing ring. Jian Yong tightened his tight-fitting big body and approached Liu Bei: "Fujun Zhang Fei is going to get married, do we want to give a gift?" ”

Liu Bei held the bow and urged the horse forward, and thought for a long time before saying: "Yide and I are like brothers, and I can't say anything about such a big thing as he got married." But it can't be too valuable, don't let people think how rich Liaodong is. Coveted. ”

Jian Yong smiled silently: "It's okay, let's choose some Liaodong specialties and send them." Now that the general of the cavalry is precious in the world, Zhang Fei is his personal guard, and the cavalry governor is also extremely noble, and even the captain of the school has to send his daughter, how can he see this thing in Liaodong. ”

"I don't mean Wing, I mean...... My big brother. Liu Bei paused and said with a wry smile: "I'm really worried that he will send troops to Liaodong after he finishes cleaning up Yuan Shao." You don't know that I see those merchant ships coming from Yangzhou now. I'm worried. ”

Jian Yong didn't say anything, he knew how jealous Liu Bei was of Liu Xiu, and the reason why he hid in Liaodong was that he didn't want to conflict with Liu Xiu again. However, it only took half a year for Liu Xiubing to leave Yizhou, and Yuan Shuquan was captured alive and took Jiangnan. Now the soldiers are pointing directly at Yuzhou, and the general trend of pacifying the world has been achieved. Who knows if he will come to take Liaodong in the future? His merchant ships can go to Liaodong, and of course the warships can also get there. Liu Xiu's emphasis on these skills is well known.

Liu Bei was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until some snow foam falling from the treetops fell on his neck that he retracted his thoughts, and he cheered up and said, "How is the matter of the Li family?" ”

Li Min disagreed. Jian Yong shook his head: "He said that there is no precedent for the daughter of the Li family to be a concubine. ”

Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at him, with a look in his eyes: "Really?" ”

Jian Yong looked at him calmly, until the erasing machine disappeared from his eyes, and then he said softly: "Li Min has been a well-known person in Hanoi, and he is also a famous man in this land of Liaodong, and his daughter is quite talented, how can he be a concubine, let alone be under Mrs. Qu Jutian?" His thoughts are also understandable. ”

Liu Bei's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Then what should I do?" I need the support of the Li family very much now. ”

"It's true that the prince needs the support of the Li family, but the support of the Tian family cannot be ignored."

Liu Bei sighed, with a faint sense of remorse in his heart. When he arrived in Liaodong, he had nothing, and if he rashly started killing and subduing him by forceful means, he was afraid that he would arouse public anger. He could only use the way of marrying to first encircle the Tian family, and then pull a gang to fight a gang, and finally gained a foothold in Liaodong. Now he needs to develop further, not only money, but also fame, so he needs a celebrity like Li Min to support, and the way is to ask for marriage, but Li Min is not Tian Shao, and his daughter is not the widowed Tian who is so eager to marry, so the conversation has not been smooth. And Tian heard what Liu Bei meant, and even quarreled with him, which made him annoyed, so he simply came out to hunt.

After all, he still has no family background, except for the royal blood who can't even tell himself, what else does he have? As soon as he thought of this, Liu Bei hated Liu Yuanqi a little, if it wasn't for him setting fire to the ya, his grandfather Liu Xiong might not have died so early, and it would not be impossible for him to be too shou or even Jiuqing in the future. If you can get to that point, now just a Hanoi Taishou is nothing.

Family history is like an invisible ruler that always marks your dignity and humility.

"Let's go." Liu Bei gently kicked the horse's belly and slowly walked forward. "On the New Year, I went to Li's house, even if I can't get married for the time being, at least I have to have a relationship."

Jian Yong responded and followed closely. As soon as they walked out of the jungle, Liu Yi rushed over panting, his face full of joy, and while wading through knee-high deep snow, he shouted: "The prince of the mansion is a happy event." ”

"What like deserves such joy?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"The envoy of the imperial court has arrived." Liu Yi ran to Liu Bei's horse and laughed loudly: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing." ”

"An envoy of the imperial court?" Liu Bei was startled and hurriedly looked around: "Where is it?" ”

"It's in the county temple."

Liu Bei and Jian Yong exchanged glances with each other, Jian Yong understood, and hurriedly urged the horse. Liu Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Liu Bei not moving, and Liu Bei said lightly: "The herald will camp in the forest today and not return to the county seat." ”

Although Liu Yi was puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw Liu Bei's face was not good, and he immediately did it.

Liu Bei got off the horse and sat on a dead log, pondering silently. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for the court to come? You must know that the appointment given to him by the imperial court is only the governor of Liaodong, but he is now the Taishou of Liaodong, and with his fists, Xuansu County is also in his pocket, and then he is ready to attack Lelang County and be his Liaodong overlord. Because Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Liaodong and the news of the imperial court have been uncommunicated for several years, I believe that the imperial court still does not know what happened in Liaodong, and what will they do when they know about it?

If Mr. and Senior Brother knew his current power, would they feel that they had done it at the beginning?

Liu Bei thought about it in the forest all night, and his eyes were a little red the next day. Fortunately, Jian Yong didn't let him wait too long, and soon sent good news: the Son of Heaven issued an edict to re-include him in the clan, and Liu Bei officially became a clan. Of course, there are also conditions for the Son of Heaven to attack Jizhou with Gongsun Zhan. The envoy of the Son of Heaven came by sea, and originally wanted to rush to the subject country of Liaodong, but as soon as he landed on the land of Liaodong, he knew that Liu Bei had become the Taishou of Liaodong, so he rushed directly to Xiangping.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and the big stone in his heart suddenly disappeared. The Son of Heaven suddenly let him return to his homeland in vain, and Shilu naturally asked for him, which can be guessed from the fact that the envoy did not acquiesce in his private invasion of Liaodong. In that case, he also took the opportunity to ask for a longer time.

Liu Bei quickly returned to Gao Xiancheng, and when he saw the messenger, Liu Bei immediately smiled.

The messenger is Mao Zong.

"Hahaha, Chengming turned out to be you, why didn't you sign up early, I'll pick you up early."

Mao Zong smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that you won't see me if I sign up." ”

Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, if he knew that it was Mao Zong from the beginning, he really didn't dare to come to see him. He hurriedly snorted and re-seated Mao Zong and asked about the situation in the Central Plains.

Mao Zong also said the situation in the Central Plains politely, and finally told Liu Bei that this time it was a plan made by Mr. and His Majesty, if you can support Mr. to complete this plan, not to mention a Liaodong Taishou, it is also expected to be a marquis. The reason is very simple, the Son of Heaven urgently needs people who can resist Liu Xiu now, as long as they have the ability to eliminate Yuan Shao, then the next war will have nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

"What's my big brother's reaction?" Liu Bei asked silently.

"I don't know yet." Mao Zong shook his head: "But he is busy with the matter of getting married now, and there is a lot of movement, I think he seems to mean that he also intends to give up these opportunities for meritorious service." After all, if he went any further, it would be unrewarding. ”

Liu Bei laughed and patted Mao Zong's shoulder: "Have you been there yet?" ”

"I'm from Qingzhou, of course, I have to come to you first, and then go to Bo Jue. By the way, how is Bo Jue now? ”

"It's not good, I lost the battle, and I haven't slowed down, and I don't like anyone very well. Be careful not to be intimidated by him. Liu Bei squeezed his eyes: "You know." ”

Mao Zong thought about Gongsun Zhan's temper and was a little worried, so he scratched his head: "It's not easy for his temper to suffer such a big blow." ”

Liu Bei laughed. (To be continued) RQ
