Zhongshan, Zhen's?

Liu Chuang didn't react for a moment, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongshan Zhen, where is it sacred?" ”

Sima Yi said: "The Zhen family is not extremely powerful in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and it is also the home of the eunuchs.

Moreover, the relationship between Zhen and Yuan is extremely close, and Yuan Xi's wife is the daughter of Zhen, who is said to be born with a beautiful face and extremely beautiful. ”

Zhen's family, Yuan Xi's wife, glamorous and moving......

When this series of words and sentences were composed, Liu Chuang suddenly realized where this Zhen came from.

Roselle, Zhen Mi...... Isn't Zhen Mi Yuan Xi's wife? Later, the Yuan clan was defeated, Zhen Mi was snatched away by Cao Pi, and Cao Rong was born, that is, Emperor Wei Ming. When you connect it like this, it becomes clear. The Zheng clan worked for the Zhen clan, which in turn was a vassal of the Yuan clan. Zhen Mi is Yuan Xi's wife, Yuan Xi wants to make a career in Youzhou, how can Zhen stand by and watch?

"Go on!"

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi calmed down, and then said in a deep voice: "I found some records of that old Zheng in the Zheng family's secret room.

Previously, Guan Cheng plundered merchant ships from the sea, and the stolen goods were transported to Zhongshan through the Zheng family, and then handed over to the Zhen family to be responsible for secretly processing.

The wooden shop was originally a hidden pile set up by the Zhen family in Lonely Bamboo City.

However, due to your arrival cousin, the original barren Lonely Bamboo City suddenly became very lively, making it impossible for Guan Cheng to hand over the goods to the Zheng family. In addition, Yuan Xi intended to embarrass his cousin, and Na Guan Cheng and his cousin had a grudge against the family, so after discussing with each other, they decided to attack the Shijiutuo dock...... These are my guesses, though. Lao Zheng is probably unwilling to do this. After all, his family lived in Lonely Bamboo City, so he angered the other party. I don't know who killed the mouth now, but I think it's nothing more than those three families. ”

Yuan Xi, Zhen, Guan Cheng!

An intricate network of relationships is clearly presented in Liu Chuang's mind.

Yuan Xi wanted to get Yuan Shao's attention. It is necessary to obtain a large amount of money to dredge ...... Because Yuan Xi is the son-in-law of the Zhen family, the Zhen family naturally supports it strongly. It's just that a large amount of goods is beyond Zhen's ability to bear. So Yuan Xi and Guan Cheng colluded. raided the sea ships, plundered the goods, and then sold the stolen goods through the Zhen family, which in turn supported Yuan Xi and made him reused......

"The nest of the bearer has ever been identified."

"There's a clue too."

As Sima Yi spoke, he took out a piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to Liu Chuang.

"This is a map I found in the Chamber of Secrets, with red circles on it. It was the place where the Zheng family received the stolen goods before. its location. It's at the mouth of Luanshui. It is about twenty miles away from Shijiutuo. This place is very remote, and no one knows the roots.

Subsequently. I also found some records in the secret room, which recorded the baggage supplies that Lao Zheng handed over to the other party.

I asked the jeep to calculate the weight of these baggage supplies. Then a nautical chart was drawn. According to these records left by Lao Zheng, Guan Cheng's lair is not in Liaodong Bay. Because one of the records was a temporary request for management, there were not many of them. Based on the calculation of 300 people in a ship, I guessed that it would take about two to three days from Luanshuikou to Guancheng's nest through these supplies.

Two to three days ......"

Sima Yi was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, so he simply squatted down and drew a chart on the sand.

He found a wooden branch, drew a few lines on this chart, and then explained to Liu Chuang: "If it is within Liaodong Bay, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a foothold. Especially in the western Liaoning region, thousands of miles of barrenness, except for Chrysanthemum Island, there is no vigilance to settle down.

Moreover, Chrysanthemum Island is too close to the land to be easily detected.

Then I calculated according to the places outside the Liaodong Bay, and found that in two to three days, there is only one place where it can settle down......"

"Where?"

Sima Yi drew a circle on the chart and said softly: "Yu's! ”

This clan belongs to Liaodong County and is located at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Initially, it began in the Western Han Dynasty, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty continued the county system of the Yu family...... During the Three Kingdoms period, the name of the clan was changed to Dong.

Perhaps when it comes to the name Yu, many people will feel unfamiliar. Then mention a place name that everyone may be very familiar with: Dalian Jinzhou.

This is where the Dalian Golden State of later generations is located.

Liu Chuang generally recognized the location of the Yu family, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

This place of the Yu clan is really, really too secret!

It is bordered by the Yellow Sea to the east, the Bohai Sea to the west, and thousands of miles of barren land to the north...... Liaodong County does not pay much attention to this, so that the existence of the county is almost nothing. Liu Chuang heard Yan Rou say that the population of the Yu clan is only two or three thousand, and they mainly rely on fishing and hunting to live on weekdays. Even if the Gongsun clan knew that there was such a group of pirates, it was unlikely that they would care, or even pay attention to it.

Levy them?

To the east of the Yushi, the islands are staggered, and it is difficult to encircle and suppress.

Not to mention more than a thousand people, how could the Gongsun clan take it to heart.

In terms of the strength of the pirates, the Gongsun clan has Chang Cen thieves and cicada thieves under his command, and there are as many as 100 sea ships under his command, which is by no means comparable in terms of the scale of management.

Therefore, if Guan Cheng hides in the Yu family, it is indeed very possible.

Liu Chuang narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he wiped the chart with his foot, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongda, follow me back to the city." ”

The group hurried back to Linyu County, but they didn't want to sit down and catch their breath before someone came to report that Xue was outside asking to see him.

Liu Chuang frowned, "Let him in." ”

Xue had been keeping filial piety at home before.

Suddenly came here today, and he must have known the news of Sima Yi's return.

Xue also knew that Liu Chuang appointed Sima Yi to take over this bloody case, and Sima Yi moved a lot in Guzhu City, and it is said that there was also a tragedy.

Since then, Sima Yi has stayed in Guzhu City for more than half a month.

When he came back this time, he must have come back to report to Liu Chuang, and Xue couldn't wait at home, so he hurried to meet him.

It's been some time since I last saw Xue.

In the first seven days of Xue Zhou, Liu Chuang went to mourn, although Xue was in a trance at that time, he looked quite good. But now, when Liu Chuang saw Xue again. He was taken aback. Xue looked extremely haggard, and his whole person had lost weight at least twice.

He was dressed in heavy filial piety, and when he walked in, he knelt down with a plop, "Uncle Huang." Can you find the news of the pirates? ”

"Sit down, and listen."

Liu Chuang asked Xue to help him up and let him sit next to him.

He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Dynasty." Zhong Da has been working hard in Lonely Bamboo City for 20 days, and he has found clues.

However, I want you to calm down first.

Xue Xiaowei was the first to follow me, and when he was in Qingzhou, he gave me a lot of help, and I kept this kindness in my heart and never forgot it. However, now is not the time to take revenge...... Cause. I don't want to say. By the time you should know. You know. I also know that you are vengeful, but this matter is not as simple as you think. There are many troubles to solve.

So then, if you want to take revenge. OK! ”

"When?" Xue blurted out.

Liu Chuang said: "If you want to take revenge, not only will I not stop you, but I will fulfill you."

But before that, I'll give you a month to give me the body to be raised...... If you are not well, don't want to get involved.

Do you understand my words? ”

Xue took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, Childe, Xue understands."

"Go down, wait for me to tell you."

"Whoa!"

If there is hope, if there is hope, the spirit will change immediately.

When Xue came, he was haggard and looked extremely decadent.

But now that he learned that revenge was expected, Xue's spirit suddenly rose and he left in high spirits......

"Cousin, do you really want him to participate?"

After Xue left, Sima Yi couldn't help but ask.

Liu Chuang nodded, looked at Sima Yi and suddenly smiled: "Zhongda, I heard that you found a good helper in Lonely Bamboo City this time?" ”

Sima Yi also smiled, "That's right, this person's name is Jeep, and his family background is also very innocent."

In terms of ability, he is not outstanding. But the point is, he is very patient and extremely attentive. This time I was able to find a clue, thanks to the help of Jeep. If it weren't for Jeep who accompanied me and went through all kinds of records, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time finding clues. ”

"One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs."

Liu Chuang nodded and said, "Zhongda, I am very happy that you can have this kind of thought."

No matter how strong a person's ability is, he can never achieve perfection. But if a person can unite the people around him, he can exert great energy. Today, the Yellow Pavilion has begun to take shape. But under your command, talent is still very scarce, and I am afraid it will not be a long-term thing.

Zhongda, you have to remember that the candidates of the Yellow Pavilion are loyal and righteous.

Look at Zifang, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Chao, Li Lun, these are all people who have followed me for many years; But they are my people, but not yours, you have to try to win over some people in order to take on Huang Ge's responsibility. The Yuan Dynasty has followed me for many years...... When I fell into Yuzhou Mountain, I was taken care of by Captain Xue, and entrusted the Yuan Dynasty to me. In a blink of an eye, four years have passed. There is no doubt about the ability of the Yuan Dynasty, I ask you, are you willing to reuse him? You know, if you find his father's killer this time, he will be grateful to you. ”

Sima Yi's biggest shortcoming is that he has been by Liu Chuang's side for too short a time, and he doesn't know many people.

Crossing his fingers, the people who are familiar with him are only Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Wu Ban, Pang De and Du Qi...... Among them, there is only one person who is really close to him, Du Ji. As for Zhao Yunxiahou Lan Pound, Sima Yi knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to win him over.

And Zhuge Liang's advantage is that he has a good relationship with everyone.

He has followed Liu Chuang for several years, and he is also very familiar with Liu Chuang's subordinates, so he is also easy to mobilize.

Sima Yi already understood why Liu Chuang wanted to do this 'Yellow Pavilion'.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed not easy for Sima Yi to recruit other helpers.

Now Xue sent it to the door himself...... Liu Chuang also recommended it to him, indicating that this Xue must be capable. This must be a great supplement for the 'Yellow Pavilion', which is still innocent. The most important thing is that with Xue, it can help Sima Yi understand other people, so that he will not know who to find and who to mobilize every time things come to an end...... Delay the opportunity in vain.

"Since my cousin recommended it, Yi dare to disobey?"

Liu Chuang laughed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it...... In two days, the fleet will arrive, at your disposal. ”

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi bowed down to receive the order, then turned around and retreated.

Liu Chuang walked out of the study and let out a breath of turbidity, and his heart suddenly felt a lot lighter.

I'm not afraid of where the enemy comes from, I'm afraid that I don't know where the enemy is hiding.

Liu Chuang had already guessed that this pirate must be related to Yuan Xi...... But if it can't be confirmed for a day, Liu Chuang won't be at peace for a day. What's more, this group of pirates will always be a scourge if they don't figure out where to hide. The shipyard has begun to be rebuilt, and if this management is not eliminated, I am afraid that the workers in the dock will not be able to live in peace. However, this will take time and will never happen overnight.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In August, Chen Qun, Xun Kuang, and Chen Jiao returned from Liaodong.

On the same day, Chun Yuqiong once again issued a warning to Bunton: If the battle is not stopped, he will unite with Liu Chuang and fight together!

The pressure on Chun Yuqiong is too great!

Xun Chen sent a letter and expressed strong dissatisfaction with him in his heart.

Uncle Liu Huang is the son of the Marquis of Zhongling, a native of Yingchuan, and my son-in-law of Xun Chen.

Are you Chun Yuqiong still not from Yingchuan, or are you not a citizen of the Han Dynasty...... Why did you watch the Karasuma people bully Uncle Liu, but you stood by and watched?

If you refuse to help him, I will send troops to help.

Xun Chen has always shown himself as a humble gentleman, and this time he was furious in the letter, which was enough to show the anger in his heart. Chun Yuqiong was also speechless, and didn't know how to explain to Xun Chen. But he can't ignore Xun Chen's attitude, Liu Chuang is Xun Chen's son-in-law no matter what, if he really angers Xun Chen, this old guy will really mobilize troops and horses to enter Liao to participate in the war.

If it does come to this point, it will inevitably make the situation even more chaotic.

And Chun Yuqiong will not only have to bear the pressure of Yuan Shao, but also the accusations of the Yingchuan clan.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao sent a letter at this time, ordering Chun Qiong to suppress the war in western Liaoning, which would never further deteriorate the situation in western Liaoning.

At the same time, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Zhuojun to reprimand Yuan Xi, so that he could not make any extraneous branches.

In this case, Badun had the intention to continue to fight with Liu Chuang, and he had to stop.

Under the persuasion of Chun Yuqiong, Liu Chuang reluctantly sent Lu Zhu and Yan Rou again to the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River to meet with the Karasuma people again.

The two sides fought fiercely for nearly a month with Louzishan as the center.

Xu Chu's old camp, Huang Zhong of Longmen Mountain, and even Shi Lian of White Wolf Fort all sent troops to participate in the battle.

In a month's time, Liu Chuang invested nearly 10,000 troops in Louzishan, killing and wounding as many as 3,000 people.

This is also Liu Chuang's most serious loss since the incident...... And the loss of Kanton Karasuma is also staggering. Lu Bu fought with the terrain at the western foot of Louzi Mountain, and although he suffered heavy casualties, the Karasuma people paid more than 3,000 lives on the battlefield of Louzi Mountain alone...... In addition, coupled with the battlefields of Longmen Mountain, White Wolf Fort and other battlefields, there are more than 7,000 soldiers and horses that have been damaged and lost, which makes him want to cry, no tears!
