Zuo Chang was in his fifties, his body was as fat as a rolling ball, he moved in front of Liu Xiu, snorting and panting, and a drop of oil sweat slipped down his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Book Mi Group 4∴8065

Liu Xiu was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, his hands were on the big tui, and he looked at him quietly. Thorn Shi is only an official of six hundred stones, and there is no need for him to be too enthusiastic, even if one of his relatives is the little yellow mén in the palace. What's wrong with Xiao Huang Mén, even if he sees a big eunuch like Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang who are now in the palace, he can wait for him equally, and a little Huang Mén can't do anything to him.

"Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang, meet General Wei." Zuo Chang made a big salute with great difficulty, with his figure, it was really not easy to stick his forehead to the ground.

"Zuo Envoy Jun has worked hard from afar." Liu Xiu waved his hand, which was regarded as a return of the gift. "When you arrive in Liangzhou, the burden on my body will be much lighter, and I won't say much else, so please make you go to work as soon as possible." The Qiang people are making too much trouble, and I really don't have much time to take care of the affairs of the Assassin's Mansion. ”

"The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and His Majesty also knows it." Zuo Chang said with a flattering smile: "But since he is the assassin of Liangzhou, this Pingqiang Luàn is also duty-bound, and when the time comes, I will ask the general for more advice." ”

"Don't dare to advise." Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows, listening to this, this guy still wants to lead troops to fight? "How many men does the envoy want to lead?"

Zuo Chang smiled, the two rou bubble eyes laughed into two lines, and he shook his head again and again: "The general said that he was laughing, how can the lower officials know what to fight, and the lower officials can only raise food and grass for the general, and do things to check and make up for the gaps." Conquest, of course, is still carried out by a famous general. ”

Liu Xiu sneered, and said in his heart If you want to lead the troops. Then I can't ask for it. This guy seems to be a little self-aware, but it's not necessarily a good thing, he probably took a fancy to the lack of féi to raise military rations, so he deliberately reminded himself. It's good. Let you taste the vigor of the Liangzhou people.

"In that case, the matter of grain and grass will be entrusted to the envoy." Liu Xiu waved his hand, Pang De took a few pieces of paper, and pushed it in front of Zuo Chang: "This is the grain and grass I need, please make Jun Jiāo come to my camp within a month, so as not to delay the peace of affairs." ”

Zuo Chang glanced at it, folded it up and put it in his arms, and nodded again and again. After two more bows, he got up and left. The Liangzhou Thorn Mansion is now in Ji County, but Liu Xiu's official is older than him, and he doesn't dare to let Liu Xiu go to Ji County to see him. I had to trek through mountains and rivers to Di Dao to see Liu Xiu. From Luoyang to Chang'an, and then to Didao, now he has to rush back to Ji County, but Zuo Chang is very tired.

Zuo Chang left, and Yan Zhong walked in. said a few names to Liu Xiu, and then smiled contemptuously: "A nest of snakes and rats is not a good person." ”

Liu Xiu also smiled, he was not afraid that Zuo Chang was a wicked person. If it is a wicked person, there is a way to rectify it. What he was afraid of was that Zuo Chang was a gentleman with no flaws in his personal character, and he would attack such a person. He has a psychological disorder. Anyway, for a true gentleman. He still respects.

"So, we think highly of it." Liu Xiu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and got up and went out to greet Fu Wan. Fu Wan is the messenger of the Son of Heaven and the brother-in-law of the eldest princess, which cannot be neglected.

After the wind and dust, although he was not as fat as Zuo Chang, he was tired a lot all the way. The last time he went to Bingzhou, he already felt unbearable, so he politely refused the appointment of the Son of Heaven to follow Liu Xiu to Liangzhou, but he didn't expect to escape in the end.

"Brother Fu, thank you for your hard work." After receiving the edict, Liu Xiu smiled and said to Fu Wan, "Are you going to stay here, or go back to Chang'an?" ”

"I want to go back to Luoyang, but can I go back?" Fu Wan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty asked me to accompany your Wenmo, of course I have to follow you?" ”

"Is what I'm writing out of order?" Liu Xiu asked deliberately.

"You, you lie to me, a useless person." After lying down, he was speechless, and sat down with his sore waist: "It's not good for you to build a few battalions, do you have to build seven battalions?" Yuan Kui said in front of the Son of Heaven, you are a gift from the king. ”

"What are these words, why is the seventh camp the gift of the king, this is Yuan Kui defiling me."

"How many generals?" Fu Wan rolled his eyes: "Among the hundred officials, the general is the most expensive, but there are only five, which is the gift of the princes." Seven are used by princes, and you build seven camps, of course, it is a princely gift. As soon as Fu Wan talked about this, he gushed endlessly, if he wasn't really tired, he would probably be able to teach Liu Xiu a good lesson.

"You're too sensitive, too." Liu Xiu shrugged: "Yu is guilty, why don't you excuse it." ”

"Okay, okay, Yang Biao told you about this matter, the Son of Heaven also agreed, whether it was the Han Seventh Battalion, or the Qiang Seventh Battalion, the edict was approved. His Majesty also said, you do a good job, and when the time comes, it is not impossible for you to settle down and become a king. ”

Liu Xiu remembered the matter of Liu Xiang, and couldn't help frowning, he had always wanted to ask his father about this matter, but since he met in Bingzhou, his father hadn't been in contact with him for about two years. I don't know what happened or if it's dangerous. He wanted to ask Fu Wan, but he was afraid that Lu would have a flaw.

"How's Shandong doing?" Liu Xiu suppressed his uneasiness and asked about the yellow scarf.

"Not good." After Fu finished smacking his lips again and again, he sighed: "The hussar general commanded the army, the command was at a loss, and the response was improper, Zhang Jiao's department has been connected, Julu, Runan, and Nanyang echo each other, and the momentum is getting louder and louder. They fought against Haoqiang in the Qingxu area, captured the manor, divided the land and property, and the displaced people responded en masse. When I set off from Luoyang, I just received news that Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Yingchuan, was ambushed on the way to attack Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang and returned defeated. Huangfu Song was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Thief Bo Cai in the long society, and he couldn't break through for three days, and later saw that the Yellow Turban Thief camped according to the grass, violated the art of war, and burned Bo Cai's camp with fire, and then broke through, but he just arrived in Runan, and was surrounded by Bu Ji and Peng Tuo, Bo Cai's army scattered and reunited, there were 50,000 people, Huang Fu Song estimated ......"

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment: "Does Your Majesty have any plans to summon me back?" ”

"You?" Fu Wan was very surprised, "The matter in Liangzhou is not over yet, can you go back?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't ask, he already knew what the Son of Heaven meant.

"Deran, how long will it take for the matter in Liangzhou to end?"

"Liangzhou has been luàn for forty years, and this time the Qiang luàn is more fierce than ever before. How long do you say it will take? Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "If you say less, it will take three or five years." ”

Fu was stunned and regretful. "Three or five years. So long? ”

……

Zhong Dian squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Yan and Lan Lan, who were fluttering in their clothes and like Ling Bo fairies, with some awe and some greed. He pinched his fingers on the big tui, and his voice was a little unnatural: "Go back?" And what about the losses in my clan? ”

"You've been chasing for a month, have you caught up?" Yu Yan looked at the reckless mountains, "You have lived in the mountains for more than ten years. Don't you know how difficult it is to find people in the mountains? Sky Wolf is also a Qiang person, and his familiarity with the terrain is no less than yours, not to mention that his subordinates are all strong, no older and weaker than you. Why is he always in front of you, do you really think he can't run away? He deliberately dragged you down, so that Liu Xiu's main force could defeat the men and horses you left in Jincheng. ”

Zhong Dian was annoyed, a month of chasing had made him almost collapse. The old and weak and their belongings left in Yugu were looted, and those who could not be taken away were also destroyed. As a result, he pursued for a month with an army of thirty or forty thousand. But he couldn't catch the wolf at all, and he had seen the wolf's traces several times, but he couldn't catch him.

He already knew that the wolf was playing with him, but let him just withdraw like that. He couldn't swallow it, his mother was still in the hands of the wolf.

"Don't chase it. Bi tight, he's going to kill your mother. Lan Lan persuaded. He is not a single Qiang now, he is a general under General Wei, and he will not be afraid of you. ”

"General Wei, it's quite affectionate." Zhong Dian sensitively noticed the difference in Lan Lan's title, and glared at them with slanted eyes: "You can't be conspiring with Liu Xiu to conspire with me, right?" ”

"You're overthinking." Zhen Yan's face did not change, "Liu Xiu has been very famous recently, we often walk in Luoyang, of course we can't make flaws." If we are conspiring with him, why should we help you? ”

Zhong Dian rolled his eyes: "If I go back, how will I deal with Liu Xiu?" ”

"The state army has been in the north for half a month, and they have been waiting for the opportunity to attack. This opportunity was for Liu Xiu to defeat the Qiang people in Jincheng and block their retreat. You use all Jing Rui to chase the wolf, who will take those troops to break through? Zhen Yan said unhurriedly: "The Heavenly Wolf is Liu Xiu's subordinate, you go to attack Liu Xiu, there is enough military advantage, it is impossible for the Heavenly Wolf not to support, and then they will look for you, not you looking for them." After defeating Liu Xiu, the entire Liangzhou is yours, so why worry about the assets robbed by the Heavenly Wolf. Even if there are some losses, as long as you defeat Liu Xiu and complete the task of responding to the great sage and good teacher, then the reward of the great sage and good teacher will be more than just something that can be measured by money and things. ”

Zhong Dian's eyes lit up, Mosha's chin narrowed, and his eyes secretly aimed at Zhen Yan and Lan Lan's bodies: "Can I defeat him?" ”

There was no hesitation in Yan's voice: "The great sage and good teacher have made an incident in Shandong, and the army is one million, and it is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to Liangzhou." Liu Xiu only had his personal guard battalion and the Bingzhou army in his hands, plus some Han and Qiang people from Liangzhou. If you can encircle the Qiang people, don't attack each other, have at least twice the superiority in strength, have twice the superiority in troops, and fight on your own territory, you still can't defeat him? Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you can still retreat into the mountains, what can he do to you? You won't dare to fight this kind of undefeated battle, right? ”

"What would I not dare." Zhong Dian was furious, and waved his horsewhip vigorously, "I'll go back to Jincheng and fight Liu Xiu to the death." It's just that...... ...... the kingdom is there."

"Rest assured, he will fully support you."

Zhong Dian pursed his lips and was skeptical. Zhang Ming once assured him that Bian Zhang was credible, but Bian Zhang surrendered, and Zhang Ming also promised that the wolf would not rebel, but the wolf not only surrendered to Liu Xiu, but also bit him hard, biting him so bloody.

"Liu Xiu also knows some Taoism." Seeing Zhong Dian's eyes flickering, Yu Yan obviously didn't believe her words, and then explained: "The heavenly wolf can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and was deceived by Liu Xiu. Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou were taken advantage of by Liu Xiu because you fell for Liu Xiu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so they had no way out but to surrender. As long as you surround Liu Xiu, they will naturally regain their attachment to you. ”

Zhong Dian didn't think so, but now he is asking him to chase the wolf again, and he can't catch up, so it's better to use this excuse to retreat and turn back to attack Liu Xiu according to what Yu Yan said, maybe there is a glimmer of life, otherwise. It's almost April, and if we don't hurry up to plant wheat, there will be no harvest today, and what hundreds of thousands of people will eat will become a problem.

"Where's the Earthquake?" Zhong Dian asked. Zhang Ming didn't come this time, just two disciples, and he was very curious about where Zhang Ming went.

"The earthquake envoy went to Tang Shushan to subdue those feather people to help." Yu Yan said calmly: "We have received the decree and are about to rush to meet him. ”

Zhong Dian was disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything. Zhen Yan and Lan Lan Jiāo changed their eyes, and the two of them rose from the ground, leaping like a fly on the steep hillside, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zhong Dian opened his mouth wide as he saw it. It took a long time before he sighed regretfully, turned around and yelled at the generals under him: "Go to Jincheng and settle accounts with Liu Xiu." ”

On the hillside, Yan Yan and Lan Lan stood side by side. looked at the Qiang people who were slowly moving east, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Feiyan, can he defeat Liu Xiu?"

Zhen Yan shook her head: "Impossible." She paused, and then continued: "However, pestering Liu Xiu for three or five years. It shouldn't be a problem for him to not be able to get out. ”

"Just to entangle Liu Xiu?" Lan Lan was a little surprised, and several of their masters and apprentices came to Xiliang and ran to various counties and Qiang tribes. All means were exhausted to set off this powerful rebellion. Is it to entangle Liu Xiu for three or five years?

"Don't you know?" Zhen Yan turned around and hugged Xiong. Leaning on a big bluestone, he looked at Lan Lan with a smile: "Now the great sage and good teacher don't worry about anyone, except for the Wei general who is worried about you." ”

Lan Lan remembered her mistake just now, blushed, and retorted: "Feiyan, you misunderstood, the relationship between me and General Wei is innocent, and there is nothing to do with it. ”

Zhen Yan looked at her, just smiled and didn't speak.

"I ...... I just feel that he is different from the one. Lan Lan sighed softly, sat down on a stone opposite, held her sword, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked blankly at the mountains in the distance. I was ordered by my master to serve him for more than half a year, and although he often made some jokes, he never treated me as a servant. ”

"I know, his aunt even gave a dowry, a Xiangyi brocade." Zhen Yan covered her mouth and laughed softly, a touch of red flying on her face. Lan Lan glanced at her, remembering Liu Xiu's mother's enthusiasm for her at the beginning, and couldn't help laughing. The two talked and laughed for a while, and Zhen Yan put away her smile: "The only thing that the great sage and good teacher is worried about now is Liu Xiu, everything was going well in Runan last time, but because of the matter of the holy aunt, Liu Xiu stepped on Luoyang Zhi in a fit of anger, and brought the great sage and good teacher to a dead end, in order to show loyalty to that son of heaven, he had to launch an attack on the Yuan family in advance, so that the success was lost." ”

"So this time, no matter what, you want to drag Liu Xiu in Liangzhou?"

Yan raised his head and looked directly at Lan Lan: "Do whatever it takes." ”

Lan Lan's brows trembled slightly, remembering Zhong Dian's greedy gaze just now, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake. She understood Yu Yan's words, and did whatever it takes, including the two of them, of course, just like the sisters who were sent to the palace and the eunuchs' mansion.

"The great virtuous teacher has been an official in the imperial court for several years, and he has long been disappointed in the imperial court, knowing that the Han Dynasty has been deeply troubled, and it cannot be ruled by a needle and stone, and if you want to have peace in the world, there is only one way to raise troops. But we have millions of displaced people, but there are no available ones. He originally wanted to train a Jing soldier when he eradicated Haoqiang, but unexpectedly, he died just after seeing some results. In this incident, he didn't worry about those wealthy families, those people could only talk, they couldn't do practical things, and they were just a few Liao Liao people who could really lead troops to fight. And these people are not a problem, as long as one or two assassins are sent, it can be solved. ”

"What the great sage and good teacher is really worried about is Liu Xiu." Yan lowered her head and looked at her toes. "Liu Xiu can use soldiers, and jing channel technique, although he always says that the technique is a deception, but in fact, his own Taoist technique is also very deep, and now he is afraid that he is already above the master and others, only under the great sage and good teacher."

"He's so smart?"

"Yes, otherwise the Sky Wolf wouldn't have been tied so easily." Yu Yan said in a firm tone: "Unless the great sage and good teacher personally take action, it is basically impossible to assassinate Liu Xiu, not only that, but it is also possible to provoke Liu Xiu's counterattack." ”

The corners of Lan Lan's mouth twitched, and she was suspicious. Zhen Yan said that Liu Xiu's Taoism might surpass their master Zhang Ming, which she was very suspicious of, when she served Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was still a mén outsider, and he had a good qualification, but he sneered at Taoism, and only learned some of the spitting techniques that entered mén, even if he later learned the Mozi Five Elements Technique. In just a few years, how could it be possible to surpass a master who had been cultivating for more than ten years. However, Zhen Yan is the best of several of her peers. She's not going to talk about it.

"Of course, the great sage and good teacher are not afraid of him, but they just feel a pity." Zhen Yan kicked the pebbles on the ground, and continued: "The great sage and good teacher feel that it is a pity. Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no one like him who can think about the common people and have a certain ability, and the great sage and good teacher do not want to be enemies with him too early. ”

Lan Lan's eyes flashed: "The great sage and good teacher want to subdue him?" ”

Zhen Yan nodded: "If I can, then the great cause of my Taiping Dao can be accomplished." The world is peaceful. ”

Lan Lan didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. If Liu Xiu can join forces with the great sage and good teacher, then there is indeed no one in the world who is invincible, but Liu Xiu has always refused to bow to the great sage and good teacher. Will the great sage be able to subdue him?

"You say, he didn't find you outside Yungo City that day?"

"Probably not." Lan Lan didn't dare to say with certainty: "After all, I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I was dressed as a man again." ”

"You go meet him." Zhen Yan stood up and clapped her hands: "You express to him the kindness of the great sage and good teacher." If he can take the common people in the world as his responsibility and is willing to cooperate with the great sages and good teachers, then it will naturally be the best. ”

"What if you don't want to?" Lan Lan's voice suddenly became a little nervous.

"Don't you know what to do?" The corners of Zhenyan's mouth twitched, and she looked directly at Lan Lan: "There is a chance." Then kill him, even if there is no chance. It also made him difficult to argue. ”

Lan Lan's face turned a little pale: "You...... Why not go yourself? ”

"I'm going to Wudu and let the June thunder attack Sanguan." Zhen Yan smiled. "Can you do it? If you can do it, then I'll go see Liu Xiu. ”

Lan Lan bit her mouth and didn't say anything, and nodded helplessly for a long time. Zhen Yan glanced at her, and was a little unbearable, walked over, and gently hugged her shoulder: "Senior sister, entering the Tao without a home, this is the oath we made at the beginning, and now that the success of the great cause is imminent, why do you hesitate?" If Liu Xiu is really sensible, he will not refuse our kindness, if he refuses, then sooner or later he will have to fight against us, don't you even see this clearly? ”

Lan Lan disguised her laughter: "No, I just think...... Originally, it was for the sake of the common people in the world, but now we want to cause such a big killing, which seems to be contrary to our original intention. ”

"Senior sister, what are you talking about?" Yu Yan sank her face and reprimanded sharply: "The saint is unkind, and he treats the people as dogs, you recite these words every day, why are you still stubborn?" Besides, is the great sage willing to do this? It's not that he hasn't tried a gentle method, but what's the use, you can see the results, and he has no choice but to do it. For the sake of peace in the world, in order to establish a peaceful and prosperous world without war, no killing, no displaced people, and no famine, death is inevitable. ”

"You're right, it's because my heart is not strong." Lan Lan lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

Zhen Yan twisted her eyebrows, looked at Lan Lan with some concern, thought for a moment, sighed again, patted her shoulder, and said with concern: "Alan, you be careful." If you really can't do it, don't force it. ”

Lan Lan nodded.

……

Luoyang, Sunset Pavilion, Dong Zhuo took one last look at Luoyang City, turned the horse's head, knocked the horse's belly lightly, and ran forward, recalling the sigh of regret of the Son of Heaven in his mind, both lost and a little warm. In the first battle of Yingchuan, he was surrounded by a yellow scarf ten times his size, fought hard to break through, and luckily picked up a xing life, but lost Yingchuan Taishou. originally thought that if he had been the Taishou of Yingchuan and made some contributions, he could move to Henan Yin, and even enter the court, but he didn't expect that with the yellow scarf, he would be beaten back to his original form.

He is very brave, but in Yingchuan, a land where there are many famous people like dogs, he is a lonely man, and he can't even find a few officials, let alone the support of those families. As soon as he was surrounded by the Yellow Turban, those county soldiers scattered in a hurry, leaving only him and his generals who had followed him since Liangzhou, and even his younger brother Dong Min was seriously injured.

The Son of Heaven knew his helplessness, but the Son of Heaven was also helpless, if he was defeated, he would be punished, and the Son of Heaven exempted him from Yingchuan Taishou, but he comforted him and said, go home and rest for a while, you are a talent, I will not forget you.

At that moment, Dong Zhuo almost burst into tears. While thanking the Son of Heaven for his tolerance, he also felt the powerlessness of the Son of Heaven.

It's all those families who are in trouble, they blocked my path to promotion, reversed Zhang Jiao, and made the Son of Heaven an empty Son of Heaven.

These people deserve to die!

Luoyang, I'll be back, definitely! (To be continued)
