Although Wang Lie is the governor of the Hou Mansion, he only has a name, in fact, all the affairs in the county are controlled by Gongsun Du, which can be seen from the fact that Gongsun Du sent Liu Yi to meet him when Han Heng arrived.

If Wang Lie really had the power and status, the soldiers guarding the gate of Xiangping should report the matter to Wang Lie as soon as possible, instead of reporting directly to Gongsun Du. After all, the visit of classmates is not a big deal, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers guarding the city who secretly got the instructions of Gongsun Du, under normal circumstances, they would definitely report to Changshi himself.

As for Gongsun Du sending his henchman Liu Yi to greet Han Heng, and then personally accompanied Han Heng to Wang Lie's residence, it seemed that he was enthusiastic and valued, but in fact it meant to remind Wang Lie.

Wang Lie welcomed Han Heng and his entourage into the mansion, and Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong returned to the Liaodong Hou Mansion with Liu Yi. Wang Lie and Han Heng thanked Liu Yi at the same time, saying that they would definitely go to the banquet as soon as possible tomorrow.

After entering the house, Wang Lieping withdrew from the servant and wanted to talk to Han Heng, but found that a guy who looked like a guard didn't know the height of his eyebrows, and he didn't mean to go out of the room, so he frowned and was displeased, so he wanted to speak.

What Han Heng is here to do is to watch people cook, look at the face and speak, and hurriedly said: "Xian Yu Duwei, don't greet Mr. Yan Fang yet!" ”

Xian Yuyin didn't have a bad feeling towards Wang Lie, and there were still many things to ask him for, so he bowed politely to Wang Lie. "Contemptible people are rarely in silver, for the Marquis of Xiangben, Youzhou Mu Liu Bo'an in front of the tent of the infantry captain, I have seen Mr. Yanfang!"

Wang Lie heard that the strong man dressed as a guard was actually the former lieutenant of Liu Yu's account, so his face softened slightly, and he turned his head and asked Han Heng: "Zipei, I don't know why the lieutenant came to Xiangping dressed as your guard?" ”

Han Heng said: "This matter is a long story, let me tell Brother Yan Fang in detail!" ”

Subsequently, Han Heng told Wang Lie in detail about his intention to envoy Liaodong for Liu Yu's father and son.

After listening to Han Heng's explanation, Wang Lie frowned slightly, and said, "I didn't expect Liu Bo'an's current situation to be so unbearable, but the dignified master was forced to ask for help by his former subordinates. ”

Xian Yuyin was a little unhappy when he heard Wang Lie's words, and interjected: "Mr. Yan Fang's words are wrong! It's not that my lord has no way to take Gongsun Zhan, but he just doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke a war and cause the innocent people in Youzhou to suffer. If Gongsun Chan still doesn't know what to do, sooner or later my son-in-law will lead an army to wipe him out! ”

Wang Lie is already fifty-three this year, a few years older than Liu Yu, at this time, seeing Xian Yuyin's words to protect Liu Yu's dignity, he smiled and said: "Hehe, Xian Yudu Lieutenant is really an urgent son!" I don't know who your son-in-law is? It can easily wipe out a powerful warlord like Gongsun Zhan. ”

Xian Yuyin replied with a smug face: "My son-in-law has just returned to Youzhou from Chang'an, and he has promoted the Xindu Alliance in Jizhou, and defeated Liu Shiren, who is outnumbered in Yunshui!" ”

"Liu Shiren?" When Wang Lie heard this name, he was a little dazed.

Liaodong is far away from Jizhou and Youzhou, and there are Gongsun Zhan Shili in the middle, Wuhuan tribes and Xianbei in the east, the news transmission is very slow, and Wang Lie is intoxicated with learning and apprenticeship after coming to Xiangping, and it is reasonable that Liu Dagongzi who suddenly became "hot" in the land of Youji is not familiar.

If Xian Yuyin said these words to Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du promised that he would not be at a loss. No matter how slow the news spreads, now that a few months have passed, the matter of the Xindu Alliance must have reached Xiangping, and the news of the victory of the water is estimated to be still on the way.

Han Heng interjected: "The son's name is He, the word Shiren, is the eldest son of Mrs. Liu, who served the Son of Heaven when he was in Chang'an, and this time he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to return to Youzhou on business. To tell you the truth, I am also a guest of the Childe's Mansion now, and this time I was mainly entrusted by the Childe to lobby Gongsun Du. ”

Wang Lie nodded and said, "I can't imagine that Liu Bo'an is indecisive and raised such a son of a lion and tiger!" Zipei came from afar, tired all the way, and will rest for the time being, and the matter of lobbying Gongsun Du still needs to be considered in the long run, and it should not be rushed. ”

Han Heng heard the words in Wang Lie's words and asked, "Brother Yan Fang, does this matter make you embarrassed?" If it is inconvenient, I will go directly to Gongsun Du, reveal my identity, know the righteousness and reason, and let him make a choice! ”

Wang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Zi Pei came to Liaodong for the first time, and he may not know much about Gongsun Du, so I will tell you about it." ”

Han Heng and Xian Yuyin nodded together and listened attentively.

"Gongsun Du is a person who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and seems to be kind to scholars and recruits talents, but in fact, he is on guard everywhere, and he has a heart of not being subordinate for a long time. The Gongsun clan wanted to establish itself in Liaodong and break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty. The day before yesterday, I had heard his son Gongsun Kang chatting about the fact that Gongsun Du had recently ordered the arrest of a man named Liu Zheng in various parts of Liaodong. Liu Zheng is a native of Beihai, and came to avoid the famous man Bing Genju in the same county, is a descendant of the Han family, heard that he came to Liaodong to avoid trouble, very popular with the people, so he was jealous of Gongsun Du, casually set up a crime of attempting rebellion, and wanted to arrest and kill him. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Lie shook his head, and he didn't approve of Gongsun Du's approach.

Before Xian Yuyin came, he was taught by Liu He face-to-face, which specifically talked about the involvement between Bing Yuan and Liu Zheng and Tai Shici, and at this time, when he heard Wang Lie talk about Gongsun Du really attacked Liu Zheng, he suddenly felt a sense of horror in his heart.

Liu He told Xian Yuyin these secrets two months ago, when he had just returned to Jicheng, and Gongsun Du did not attack Liu Zheng, which means that Liu He did not predict Gongsun Du's actions without any news!

Xian Yuyin was messy in an instant, and he didn't know if the son who was far away in Macheng was now looking at him with a pair of weird eyes that could see through time and space.

It's a bit messy, but if you need to ask, you have to ask it in time. Xian Yuyin asked Wang Lie: "Dare to ask Mr. Yanfang, I wonder if Liu Zheng has been caught by Gongsun Du now?" ”

Wang Lie shook his head and replied, "Not yet." I heard that Liu Zheng had sneaked out of the city, but the old man didn't know where he went. ”

Xian Yuyin thought to himself: Gongzi once specially confessed that if Gongsun Du attacked Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng would go to Bingyuan's residence to hide when he had no way out, and after Bingyuan took in Liu Zheng, he would entrust Tai Shici, a strong man in the same state, to escort Liu Zheng back to his hometown. Now that I know that Liu Zheng has not been caught, I will go directly to find Bingyuan, wait for Liu Zheng and Tai Shici to surface one after another, and then load a basket and return to Jicheng immediately!

Thinking about this, Xian Yuyin kept silent and didn't say anything to ask about Bing Yuan. Xian Yuyin is not stupid, and before he can't figure out Wang Lie's position, he won't be reckless enough to tell Wang Lie that Liu Zheng may have gone to where Bing Yuan lived. Anyway, Bing Yuan's reputation in Liaodong is no less than that of Wang Lie, after today, find an excuse to sneak out of the city and inquire a little, won't you find out!

That night, Wang Lie set up a banquet for Han Heng in the mansion to receive the wind, and also invited Liu Yi and Yangyi, two henchmen of Gongsun Du in the Liaodong Houfu, to accompany him.

On this occasion, Xian Yuyin did not appear, and now he continued to pretend to be Han Heng's private soldier, mixed in with a group of soldiers and slaves, and coldly observed the Liaodong Marquis Mansion not far away.

The main task that Liu He handed over to Xian Yuyin was to bring Tai Shici back, as for contacting Gongsun Du to contain Gongsun Zan from the east, and as for bringing Liu Zheng back by the way, they all acted at the opportunity and carried it with him. In order to recruit Tai Shici, Liu He was even mentally prepared for Han Heng to be detained by Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

Xian Yuyin can understand the thirst of Gongzi's heart for brave generals, and he, who is also a military general, does not rule out personally recruiting another fierce general similar to Zhao Yun for Gongzi. Before Gongzi left Jicheng and went to Macheng, he specially said to Xian Yuyin: "No matter how many capable and brave generals I have in front of my account in the future, the friendship between you and Zitai to escort me out of Chang'an cannot be replaced by anyone." ”

As long as there is this sentence, Xian Yuyin feels that no matter how many difficulties he encounters, he will help Gongzi dig a few pieces of "fat" from Gongsun Du this time!

In the middle of the night, the lights were still on in the sleeping tent where Gongsun Du of the Hou Mansion of Liaodong lived, and Liu Yi and Yang Yi, the two loyal dogs, were reporting something to Gongsun Du at this time.

"Lord Qiqi, there have been many debates with that Han Heng during the banquet, which can confirm that this son is indeed talented, and he is not a person who has lost his reputation." Yang Yi said.

"I also listened carefully to the words of Wang Changshi and Han Zipei, and I can confirm that the two are indeed friends, and their former classmates are under the door of Yingchuan Confucian Chen Yu." Liu Yi said.

Gongsun Du nodded and asked, "Have you ever found out the intention of this son to come to Xiangping?" ”

"Wang Changshi only said that Han Zipei was invited by himself to come to Liaodong to study, and there was no clear purpose and intention." Yang Yi replied.

Gongsun Du asked again: "Do you know who this son is?" ”

Liu Yi replied: "Han Zipei claims to be the Takayanagi clan of Daijun. ”

"Takayanagi? Is it Takayanagi, the border city under the control of Liu Bo'an? ”

"Exactly."

"Master Liu, Ben Hou has given you an errand, and tomorrow I will immediately send a fine work to Liaoxi to investigate, and find out how this Han Zipei came to Xiangping from Daijun through Gongsun Zhan's territory safe and sound!"

"Humble command!"

"In Yangzhizhong, the matter of arresting Liu Zheng and his family still needs to be troubled, you immediately draft an official document for me to arrest Liu Zheng and send it to the counties, and say, 'Those who dare to hide Liu Zheng are guilty of the same crime as Liu Zheng!' ”

"My lord, is it a little inappropriate to arrest Liu Zheng so magnificently?" Yang Yi whispered.

"Hmmm! What's wrong? Liu Du looked unconcerned and asked rhetorically.

Yang Yi's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly explained: "Then Liu Zheng is a descendant of the Han family after all, if the lord takes it and kills it, it is inevitable that some people in Liaodong Shilin will criticize this matter, but I am afraid that it will damage your reputation." ”

"Hmph, aren't there enough warriors killed by Ben Hou's men? Whoever dares to criticize will be punished for conspiracy and arrested and killed! ”

When Gongsun Du said this, his domineering side leaked, and the momentum of the king of Liaodong was fully revealed.
