Liu Xun groaned slightly, and knew in his heart that what Zhang Ruyu said was the truth. If Zhang Lu really burned the money and grain in the treasury and destroyed the tax account books, all he would be left with was a mess.

Liu Xun laughed and ridiculed: "It's just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously, I haven't asked the girl's name yet, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Under Zhang Ruyu", Zhang Ruyu saw Liu Xun soften, smiled, and introduced himself.

"I don't know what the girl and Zhang Lu call each other?" Liu Xun was puzzled.

"Zhang Lunai is the father", Zhang Ruyu said generously.

"I see, no wonder the girl is like a river, thoughtful, and worthy of being the queen of a famous family", Liu Xun praised.

"Do you hurt me or scold me?" Zhang Ruyu smiled "fluttering", showing the delicate state of a child.

"Say, what conditions do you want for this time to negotiate?" After some politeness, Liu Xunyan returned to the right preach.

"It's very simple, our Zhang family only asks to keep our land and real estate, and my father's official position is asked to be kept in name. After the adults enter the city, they must not kill the officials and people of Hanzhong in vain, and the officials will only be hired, and they will not be in vain to fight with my father", Zhang Ruyu made a condition.

"Okay, I Liu Xun agreed to all the conditions you offered. Hanzhong officials, as long as they promise to be loyal to me Liu Xun, I will hire them in a certain amount. ”

"As for Zhang Lu, after returning to me, he still wears the Hanzhong pastoral seal. Of course, Zhang Lu could no longer live in Hanzhong and had to move to Shu. The Zhang family's land property will be retained," Liu Xun readily agreed.

I thought that the other party would open his mouth, but I didn't expect the other party's conditions to be so simple, so I immediately accepted it.

"The state pastor is so refreshing, and Your Excellency's takeover of Hanzhong is really a blessing for the people of Hanzhong," Zhang Ruyu said.

"Well, please go to the Lingzun and prepare to open the city to meet my army."

Zhang Ruyu immediately turned around and left, and after a while, the gate of Hanzhong was opened, and Zhang Lu led his subordinates to bow to the ground.

led the army into the city, and sure enough, he saw that the treasury in the city was well sealed, and all the officials in charge of specific affairs in the yamen were on standby.

When asked, all the officials answered fluently.

Liu Xun was greatly moved, so that Zhang Lu still wore the seal ribbon of Hanzhong Mu and went to live in Mianzhu.

The land house under Zhang Lu's name is intact.

At the same time, he ordered his sergeants not to harass the people, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Most of the officials under Zhang Lu remained in office, but most of them served as deputies to assist the officials appointed by Liu Xun in governing Hanzhong.

The Hanzhong army was reorganized, and tens of thousands of troops were obtained at once.

Time flies, and a month passes quickly.

With Hanzhong, Liu Xun's strength was further enhanced, and his ambitions began to expand, preparing to fight with the princes of the world.

A large number of spies were constantly sent out to find out the situation of the princes in various places.

"Report, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces to repel the attack of the Qiang people."

"Jiangdong Sun Ce attacked Liu Biao in Jingzhou, was ambushed, and returned defeated."

"Li Dao and Guo Yan fought in the Central Plains, Li Dao was defeated, Guo Dao and Yang Feng, Cao Cao and others are fighting for the emperor, and they are currently fighting in a melee.

"Yuan Shao now has the two states of Hebei and Qingdao, and his power has increased greatly, and he is trying to annex Youzhou."

"Lü Bu was defeated in Xiabil, his men and horses were scattered, Zhang Liao led the remnants of Lü Bu to surrender to Cao Cao, and Lü Bu's own whereabouts are unknown."

Liu Bei led the Yuzhou herd, and Zhuge Liang, a native of Nanyang, threw himself into Liu Bei's camp and was relied on by him as his right and left hand. Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong, it is said that this person is familiar with astronomy and geography, and he must be guarded against. ”

"Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan and openly rebelled against the imperial court."

Liu Xun frowned, the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was becoming more and more chaotic.

"Let's explore again, see which prince Dong Zhuo's advisor Jia Xu has defected to."

"Report, after Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu was first in Guo Yan's army, and then he was suspicious and left, and now he doesn't know where to go."

"Report, Wancheng Zhang Xiu, is currently at war with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and the battle situation is unknown."

Liu Xun constantly filtered the information he received in his mind and gradually clarified his thoughts.

"Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others are far away from themselves, now is not the time to attack, Jingzhou is located in a fortress, the location is important, and when Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu are defeated, it is still possible to pick up a ready-made cheap. It's not time to send troops to Jingzhou now," Liu Xun analyzed.

"But in the Central Plains, Cao Cao and others are competing for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, his power is getting stronger and stronger, if he hijacks Emperor Xian again, and coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he will inevitably become his biggest enemy."

I don't know what Lu Qiling's current situation is, and Jia Xu's whereabouts are unknown. In public and private, he should go to Luoyang. ”

After making up his mind, Liu Xun set the location of his next move in Luoyang.

"Explore the battle situation in Luoyang again, and report at any time", the flying pigeon biography was issued, and the wind shadows in Luoyang were all busy.

Luoyang's Qinglou wine shop, Qianzhuang shop, everywhere there are wind shadows.

"Report, Guo Yan and Yang Feng are currently uniting to deal with Cao Cao, in the Luoyang area, a large number of people have fled, the countryside is barren, and the people are struggling to make a living."

"Report, a group of displaced people are pouring into Hanzhong, Lu Bu's front general Wang Kai, was pursued by Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses, and is currently fleeing to the Hanzhong border, Li Yan asked for instructions, whether to let Wang Kai enter the customs."

"Pass my order and let Wang Kai enter the customs", Liu Xundao, "Order all the soldiers and horses, I will meet Xiahoudun for a while." ”

A small pass on the eastern border of Hanzhong, the terrain is dangerous, and it is not famous in history, and the locals call it Yifu Pass.

It is taken that one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open.

After capturing Hanzhong, Liu Xun sent Li Yan to guard this place to prevent the invasion of soldiers and horses in the Central Plains.

At this time, hundreds of dusty cavalry came to Yifuguan, which was the soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's subordinate Wang Kai.

Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses then caught up and were blocked by Li Yan.

The defenders in the city listened, and quickly reported to Zhang Lu, and the thief tied up Wang Kai and sent him out of the city, and everything was over. Otherwise, when the army arrives, Hanzhong will not be left behind", Xiahoudun said arrogantly, he thought that Hanzhong was still under the rule of Zhang Lu at this time.

It's no wonder that not everyone knows how to use flying pigeons to pass on information like Liu Xun.

Yifu Pass is not far from the Hanzhong Prefecture, Liu Xuntong led the army to Yifu Pass, and saw Xiahou Dun scolding under the pass.

He was about to settle on Zhang Lu, thinking that Zhang Lu was weak and would definitely send Wang Kai out.

"Xiahoudun, don't talk nonsense, if you win the steel gun in my hand, I, Liu Xun, will let you go. If you can't win, you can stay with me", Liu Xun shouted, "Switch to meet the enemy." ”

The gate opened, Liu Xun led the three armies out of the pass, Xu Huang on the left led an army, Zhao Yun on the right led a military horse, and Liu Xun led the Chinese army.

The three-way soldiers and horses were placed under the pass, confronting Xiahoudun's military horses, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

At first, he thought that he was facing Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses, but by the time Liu Xun reported to his home, Xiahoudun already felt that the situation was not good.

But it was difficult to recover the water, and even if he retracted what he had said, it was too late.

wanted to retreat, but was afraid that Liu Xun would wave his army to cover up.

"Unashamed boy, let you see General Xiahou's marksmanship", Xiahou said stubbornly, while directing the soldiers and horses to retreat, let the crossbowmen shoot the position, and prevent Liu Xun from attacking with his army.

"This Xiahoudun has the style of a famous general, look at his marching formation, he is by no means a mediocre hand, such a general is an enemy rather than a friend, it's a pity", Liu Xun sighed secretly.

It's too late, it's too soon.

As soon as Liu Xun lifted the reins, the lightning under his crotch rushed out instantly, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Xiahoudun, raised the gun in his hand, and stabbed Xiahoudun in the left chest with a shot.

Although he had been prepared, he still didn't expect Liu Xun's horse to be so fast.

This kid has no grace at all, and he is close to a sneak attack.

In a hurry, he raised his gun to meet him, but before the two guns intersected, Liu Xun had already changed his move, and the next move was to stab Xiahoudun's crotch.

Since Liu Xun has seized the opportunity, he has to be unforgiving, where can Xiahou have a chance to breathe.

Unfold the world-swallowing marksmanship practiced in the torrential waterfall, a shot is as close as a shot, killing Xiahoudun only has the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

Originally, Xiahoudun's martial arts realm was still above Liu Xun, Xiahoudun was at the peak of his weak strength, and Liu Xun was in the middle of his weak strength.

However, Liu Xun's marksmanship is unique in the world, and it is by no means comparable to Xiahoudun's marksmanship.

Liu Xun's thunder light true qi restrained Xiahoudun even more stubbornly, and as soon as the fifty moves passed, Xiahoudun knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely be unlucky.

Taking advantage of the fact that he still had some combat strength, Xiahoudun stopped Liu Xun's gun, turned his horse's head, and fled.

With a wave of his hand, Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses released arrows together, and after a round of arrow rain, Xiahoudun had escaped far away.

Liu Xun swung his gun and hit the arrow shaft, and as soon as the marksmanship of the world was swallowed, the water was difficult to enter, and those arrow shafts fell to the ground one after another.

With a move of the gun, the three-way army was covered and killed together, and Xiahoudun's 5,000 soldiers and horses were defeated.

Wherever the army passed, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and seized a lot of weapons, horses, armor, and property.

Most of Xiahoudun's 5,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated, and not many surrendered, and in the end, Xiahoudun fled with only a few dozen horsemen.

defeated Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses with absolute superiority, Liu Xun did not have much joy in his heart.

This battle made him realize the horror of the combat power of powerful princes.

Most of Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses resisted desperately, and would rather die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather than surrender to the enemy army, and survive.

This gave Liu Xun a preliminary understanding of the great enemy Cao Cao he was about to face.

Cleaning the battlefield and counting the soldiers and horses, Liu Xun folded 2,000 soldiers.

The three armies won a complete victory and returned victorious.

In the Yifu Pass, Liu Xun summoned Wang Kai and asked him why he was chased and killed by Xiahoudun.

It turned out that Lü Bu was besieged by the combined forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and saw that he could not break the siege.

So he used Chen Gong's strategy to prepare to marry Yuan Shu, and sent Wang Kai to meet Yuan Shu.

After seeing Yuan, Yuan Shu thought that Lu Bu was capricious and insisted that Lu Bu send his daughter first before agreeing to send troops.

After going back and forth, the city of the lower billet was broken, and Lu Bu did not know where to go.

Hearing that Zhang Liao led the remnants of Lü Bu to surrender to Cao Cao, Wang Kai was unwilling to surrender to Cao, so he led the crowd to Hanzhong, and was chased and killed by Xiahoudun and his army.

"Now that Lu Bu doesn't know his life and death, you don't want to surrender to Cao, but you are willing to surrender to me", Liu Xundao.

"The state pastor is a great grace to save his life, and Wang Kai is unforgettable. I can serve under the state pastor for the time being, and if he hears the news of Lu Bu in the future, I still have to vote for him. ”

"The state pastor can kill me now to prevent future troubles", Wang Kai said with a straight chest, without fear.

"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and martyrs don't care about the two husbands. General Wang's behavior can be regarded as a loyal minister, and I will take you in", Liu Xundao.

"Lord Xie Zhou", Wang Kai bowed, but never mentioned the word "lord".

"No need to be polite", Liu Xundao, "Lu Bu's daughter Lu Qiling, I wonder if General Wang knows his whereabouts?" ”

Liu Xun finally asked the most important sentence.

This is the fundamental reason why he saved Wang Kai.
