Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were waiting outside, and when they saw Liu Ze coming out, Zhang Fei took the lead and said: "Big brother, I heard that the court's reward has come down, and Liu Tingshi has given the title of Rongqiu Hou and Tai Lieutenant, this battle is all our credit, and the eldest brother can also make a Hou Ye, right?" ”

Liu Ze glanced at him and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to Lousang Village." ”

It is indeed inappropriate to talk at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, so Zhang Fei had no choice but to suppress the words in his stomach, get on the horse and go back to Lousang Village with Liu Ze.

As soon as he returned to Lousang Village, Liu Ze immediately ordered Guan Haidian to prepare for the expedition. Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why did the eldest brother set off in such a hurry? Could it be that the yellow scarf is calling again? ”

Liu Ze said: "After the matter in Youzhou is over, I am going to go to Guangzong to help Lu Zhi, the military situation of Guangzong is urgent, and there is no delay, so I will set off today." ”

"Youzhou is done? That's it? Big brother, you haven't said that the court has any rewards? Zhang Fei asked vigorously.

"Nope." Liu Ze replied crisply and loudly.

Zhang Fei was stunned and said, "Nothing?" Big brother, didn't you say that the court didn't give us a reward at all? ”

"Yes, nothing?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be furious, and said: "What the hell, Lao Tzu killed the enemy in front of the battle, and fought hard to repel the yellow scarf, those irrelevant people were promoted and made rich, but our meritorious people didn't catch anything, what bullshit court!" ”

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "This matter is quite strange, could it be that someone is making a hindrance from it?" Maybe it's because Liu Yu didn't report our credit at all? ”

Liu Ze shook his head and said: "Liu Yu is a loyal elder, and he will never do such a thing, but there are indeed people who are obstructed in this matter." ”

As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he became angry, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, who is it?" I'm going to chop him up! ”

Liu Zedao: "Do you still remember that Yangquan Coal Mine was seized by the great eunuch Zhang Rang a few years ago? ”

Guan Yu said suspiciously: "Could it be Zhang Rang?" No, wasn't Yangquan Coal Mine snatched away by him at a low price, we suffered a big loss, and it should be us who should be jealous, what reason does he have to hate us? ”

Liu Ze reminded: "Second brother, you forgot, we later opened the coal mine and lowered the price of coal, Zhang Rang's Yangquan Coal Mine later made a loss, if he really didn't hate us, he would really not be Zhang Rang." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be a little discouraged, it was not easy to chop Zhang Rang, and said deflatedly: "Then let's still fight hard, no matter how many yellow scarves are killed, it is also the credit of others, this kind of business of giving others wedding dresses I don't want to do it, Guangzong I won't go, let's go back to the north of the city to sell my pork." ”

Liu Ze smiled: "It's not easy to be an official? What we have is money, if the third brother falls in love with that county, the eldest brother will donate a Taishou to you, and if you want to be a assassin, even if it is the third public seat of Sima Situ Sikong, as long as we are willing to spend money, we can donate it, as long as the saint is willing to sell it today, the eldest brother can buy it back for you. ”

Zhang Fei muttered: "It's not uncommon for officials to spend money to buy them back, those eunuchs didn't like you that day, and it wasn't for nothing to make up a reason to clean you up." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "It seems that the third brother still understands the truth that the ass of the country that was not beaten down by himself cannot sit steadily, so we are not working for the court now, not for the emperor, but for laying the foundation for our own country, so this official he can give if he is willing to give it, and he is not willing to pull it down, the yellow scarf still has to be beaten, and his own country still needs to contribute." ”

Guan Yu said: "The eldest brother is far-sighted, why bother with the immediate gains and losses, the younger brother is willing to be the first to look forward to the eldest brother, as for the third brother who is willing to go back to the north of the city to sell pork, then ask him to take care of himself." ”

Zhang Fei glared at him and said: "Who said that I want to go back to the north of the city, I will be homeless for a long time, how can I live if I go back without a house or land, my money is all given to my eldest brother, and I still expect him to give me dividends." ”

Liu Ze and Guan Yu laughed, and Liu Ze said: "You really rely on me, Lord Creditor, you are more powerful than Lord Yama." ”

Zhang Fei's black face couldn't be seen even if it was red, and said: "It's not up to you to rely on anyone, anyway, I will eat you, you go there and follow me, you can't run away in this life." ”

The three of them laughed. At this time, Pan Feng stepped forward to report that a letter from Zhao Yun of Mangdang Mountain came. Liu Ze saw it as a letter, and said to Guan Zhang and the others with a smile: "Zhao Yun heard that we broke the yellow scarf in Zhuo County, and he couldn't hold it back, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to fight the yellow scarf." ”

Guan Yu said: "Zilong is also a man of temperament, and staying in Mangdang Mountain will make him feel aggrieved." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "From sharpening, ten years of sharpening a sword, now is not the time for Zilong's sword to come out of the sheath." Pan Feng, reply to Zilong to me, asking him to guard Mangdang Mountain, Mangdang Mountain is the cornerstone of our achievements in the world's hegemony, and there is no room for mistakes. Sue sù he does not have to be in a hurry, will come to the day when he will become famous in the world. Today, there is a big chaos, the displaced people are fleeing everywhere, and he is ordered to secretly send people to recruit strong people, skilled craftsmen, literati and wise men among the displaced people, but anyone who has a skill can be recruited into Mangdang Mountain, which will come from useful. Pan Feng took the order and went down.

Guan Yu said: "Big brother takes precautions, it's really a good calculation." ”

"What is the most precious thing in troubled times? It's not gold and silver, it's not firewood, rice, oil, salt, it's people! The people are the foundation of the country, and no one is talking about anything. ”

At this time, Guan Hai stepped forward to report: "Lord, the team has been assembled, please give an order if you want to set off immediately!" ”

Liu Ze nodded and said, "Okay, let's go immediately!" Liu Ze went out of the house with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the five hundred cavalry outside the door were already lined up, waiting for orders. Liu Ze turned over and got on his horse and ordered: "Go!" The team left Lousang Village in an orderly manner and headed south.

Liu Ze immediately went down to Dasang Village, looked back at Lousang Village, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He was reborn here, as the second hometown of his life, where every grass and tree, a house and a house, left him infinite good memories, here is his innocent childhood, there are enthusiastic parents and villagers, but also have the parents who love him, farewell, Lousang Village! Farewell, Daesang Village! Maybe after taking this step, he will not have the opportunity to return here in this life, and the grave of his parents may no longer have anyone to add incense to the soil, but he has no choice, because there will be a broader world ahead, and today's parting is for tomorrow's harvest. Liu Ze threw one last glimpse at the almost empty Lousang Village, and resolutely embarked on the journey.

Not long after leaving Lousang Village, looking at the dust in the northwest direction, a group of people and horses galloped over. Just when everyone was surprised, the team had already driven to the front, led by Zou Jing, the captain of Youzhou, Liu Bei, the governor of Youbeiping, Liu Bei, and Tian Kai, the commander of Beiping, who were presumably ordered by Liu Yu to go to Qingzhou to relieve the siege. The three of them didn't expect to meet Liu Ze unexpectedly here, and they all got off the horse to salute.

Zou Jing didn't know that Liu Ze was going to Guangzong, and said, "Where does Liu Gongzi want to go on this trip?" ”

"Under the Grace Lu Gongjin is now the general of Beizhong Lang, commanding the three armies and fighting with Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, and he wants to help him. Captain Zou was ordered by Liu Tingshi to go to Qingzhou to rescue? Although it was clear that Zou Jing was going to Qingzhou, Liu Ze still asked politely.

Zou Jing sighed and said: "Liu Tingshi received an urgent report from Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban siege of Linzi is very urgent, and he is specially ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses with Liu Changshi Tian Duwei to rescue, but the road is far away, and Jizhou is rampant, and the future is uncertain. ”

"I don't know where Captain Zou is going to march from?"

"From this to the south, through the Anping Qinghe River between the rivers can go straight to the Qingzhou Plain, and from the plain to cross the Yellow River can go straight to Linzi."

"It's so dangerous."
