If Liu Chuang knew that Tian Shi explained it like this, he would have to shout that he was wronged!

That's right, Zhen Mi is indeed beautiful, and the beauty of Luo Shen is also an indispensable thing of beauty...... But Liu Chuang can swear to the sky, he doesn't have that kind of idea about Luoshen. At least for now, he doesn't have the energy to think anything about Zhen Mi.

However, Tian Shi's explanation is the most appropriate answer for the Zhen family.

If it weren't for Uncle Liu's interest in Zhen Mi, how could he send someone to kidnap her?

If it weren't for Uncle Liu Huang liking Zhen Mi, how could he be willing to help the Zhen family?

Without Liu Chuang's support, the so-called No. 1 Haoqiang in Youzhou is the flower in the water, the moon in the mirror. In this way, it can be explained clearly. It must have been after Uncle Liu Huang kidnapped Zhen Mi and was attracted by Zhen Mi's appearance, so he sent Tian Shi to persuade the Zhen family to join him.

Well, it must be so!

It can only be like this......

Whether Liu Chuang wants it or not, Mrs. Zhen thinks so.

Any rhetoric is false, only when everyone's interests are tied together, it is the most true.

The old lady did not reply to Tian Shi immediately, but only said that she should think about it.

After Tian Shi said goodbye and left, the old lady brought several daughters and the henchmen of the main family to explain Tian Shi's intention to everyone.

Hearing that they were going to give up their foundation and go to Youzhou, many people were a little reluctant.

But everyone also knows that for the Zhen clan owner's family, going to Youzhou seems to be the most suitable choice.

For a moment, everyone hesitated.

Just when everyone was discussing and discussing things, Zhen Chang hurriedly ran in from outside.

He whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, and the old lady's face changed, so she got up and went out with Zhen Chang. About a stick of incense has passed. The old lady walked in from the outside, but her face was extremely unsightly, gloomy as if it was about to drip, which made people feel nervous.

"Mother, what happened?"

Zhen Yao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Old Madam Zhen took a deep breath, glanced at the people in the Ming Hall, and said in a deep voice: "The second son of Yuan has sent someone here again to urge us to send money and grain to Beiping. ”

"What?"

Zhen Yao became anxious when he heard this, "Mother." You're not going to say yes, are you? ”

"What if I don't say yes? How can we refuse him now?

Even if he is a concubine, even if he loses Youzhou, his surname is Yuan, and he is the second son of Yuan. We can't say no! He didn't ask us to give him 50 million dollars and grain this time, but only said that he would send half of it first. The messenger also said that the war in Beiping was tense, and money and food should not be delayed. If the fighter plane is delayed, it is necessary to be held accountable...... Everyone is here, talk about it, this money and food. Or don't give? ”

In the bright hall, there is no sound!

Where is Yuan Xi's request, it is clearly coercion.

"Auntie, you must not agree at this time."

A man in his thirties stood up. With a resolute expression, he said: "Then Yuan Xianyi doesn't treat us as relatives at all, but just treats us as his granary and treasury." Now he doesn't know that Xiao Mi is not there, and if he knew, he would definitely not be polite...... Although my Zhen family is a big family, it has a big business. Where did you get all this money and food? Twenty or thirty million today, thirty or fifty million tomorrow. Wait for Yuan Shao to come back. It must be tens of millions. No matter how big the family business is, it can't withstand the bite of these evil wolves, and in the end, my Zhen family will definitely have no bones. ”

This person's name is Zhen Ren, and he is the second brother of the Zhen family.

His father is Zhen Yi's brother, and now his father has already passed away, leaving behind the five brothers of the Zhen family, who are good at fists and sticks, known as the five tigers of the Zhen family, and are quite famous in Wuji.

"Yes, Auntie, we have paid a lot for the Yuan family over the years.

If they continue to be exploited like this, sooner or later the family will be ruined...... Simply reversed, and went to Youzhou, which is better than waiting for death here. ”

Before, the Zhen family was still hesitating.

But now, they can't continue to think about it.

"Since this is the case, I will discuss with the division of the house and sell all the land and houses in the family into money and grain."

"Mother means ......"

"Needless to say, there is no place for us, so we simply exchange all our family property for money and food, and we can have more confidence when we get to Youzhou.

By the way, I heard that Uncle Liu Huang had an agreement with the Su family to send displaced people to Liaodong, but the Su family has always disobeyed the law, so that the covenant has not been completed now. Although Youzhou is bitterly cold, the land is vast and sparsely populated. What the Su family doesn't do, then let's do it in the Zhen family.

Uncle Liu Huang needs displaced people, so let's find a way to transport ...... for him Zhen Yi! ”

"Auntie."

"I remember that in the past few years, we have also recruited a lot of displaced people in Guangchang reclamation...... You've been in charge of this, how many people are there? ”

Zhen Yi is the second of the five tigers of the Zhen family, and thought about it: "A few years ago, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan conquered, causing countless displaced people in Youzhou.

At the beginning of the year, I asked once that there were about 30,000 displaced people in Guangchang......"

The old lady gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zhen Yi, Zhen Li, Zhen Zhi." ”

"In!"

"The three of you immediately set off and went to Guangchang to gather the displaced people and send them to Youzhou.

Zhen Ren, you can leave and go to Zhuo County to meet Uncle Liu Huang, just say that my Zhen family is like-minded, and ask Uncle Liu Huang to take him in. ”

The old lady is also a bold person, and since she has decided to make arrangements, she will immediately make arrangements.

After all the arrangements were made, the old lady brought her three daughters and carefully told them in their ears before letting them go.

"Xiao Yao, Zhen Xin."

The old lady closed her eyes, pondered for a while, and then said softly: "The Zhen family's land is not sold for tens of millions of dollars in a hurry, even if Uncle Liu Huang marries Xiao Mi, it is still not grand enough." Our family went north to Youzhou, if we didn't have a little credit, I'm afraid it would be difficult to last long...... Only then did we pretend to promise Yuan Xi's envoy that within 15 days, the money and grain would be sent to Beiping. This is also a good opportunity for us, if we can seize it, the Zhen family will not only be able to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, but also be able to get Uncle Liu's attention, just see if you dare to take risks? ”

Zhen Yao and Zhen Xin glanced at each other, and immediately showed a look of understanding.

"Mother, just command."

When the old lady heard this, the smile on her face was even bigger, "So, go and invite Mr. Tian to come!" ”

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

Jian'an in the middle of October of the fifth year. The news of Yuan Shao's defeat spread throughout Hebei.

For a time, Jizhou shook.

Yecheng, the prison.

Tian Feng sat under the lamp and was reading with relish a "Shangshu Justice" compiled by Nanshan Academy. The book "Shangshu Justice", which is not small, contains the annotations of Zheng Xuan, Xun Yue and Kong Rong, and was just completed at the beginning of the year.

As a famous man in Jizhou, although Tian Feng was imprisoned, his freedom was restricted. All requests were met.

"Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian!"

Just as Tian Feng was fascinated by the reading, a jailer trotted all the way.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hexi."

Tian Feng was stunned and asked, "Chizhong." Where does the joy come from? ”

Chi Zhong is the name of the jailer.

He arched his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, Fang got the news that Yuan Gong was defeated in Guandu.

Previously, Mr. Yuan was prevented from fighting, saying that he would lose the battle. Now that Mr. has become a prophecy, doesn't it show that Mr. has a good vision? Wait for the lord to come back. Wouldn't it be a happy event that Mr. would be released, and that he would have to be rewarded and entrusted with important tasks? ”

In Chizhong's opinion. Tian Feng will definitely be extremely happy when he hears the news.

But who would have thought that Tian Feng's face became extremely ugly.

"Sir, why don't you like it?"

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "If the lord wins." I can't say there is still a way to live; Now that the lord has been defeated, Tian Feng's life is not long. ”

"Why?"

"This ......"

Tian Feng did not explain to Chizhong. He only smiled wryly and shook his head.

Chi Zhong was about to ask, but he heard a commotion outside the cell.

Immediately after, there was a clang, and the cell door was slammed open. More than a dozen black-clothed men dressed in black with hoods and only a pair of eyes showed broke into the prison, and quickly came to Tian Feng's cell along the corridor.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Chi Zhong was startled and hurriedly shouted loudly.

But before his voice fell, he saw a man in black stepping forward and was about to strike with a knife.

"Wait!"

Tian Feng saw clearly in the cell, and hurriedly shouted, "Who are you?" Hugh is going to kill innocents indiscriminately here. ”

The man in black at the head glanced at Chi Zhong, "If you are smart, shut up with me...... If I just make a sound, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

With that, he swung his sword and split the lock on the door, then opened the door and entered the cell.

"Mr. Tian, in the name of my father-in-law, I am here to save Mr. from leaving, please come with me."

"You ......"

Tian Feng hesitated and wanted to refuse.

But the man in black was the first to speak: "If the gentleman doesn't leave, how can the giant boy be at ease?" ”

"Juyan, where is he now?"

"Please, sir, although we leave, we can meet Tian Gongzi."

Tian Feng was originally ready to be killed by Yuan Shao, but when he heard the other party mention his son, he was suddenly a little upset. He hesitated, gritted his teeth, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”

With that, he stepped out of the cell door.

"Mr. Tian......"

Chi Zhong's face was pale, and when he saw Tian Feng walking out of the prison, he hurriedly shouted.

The man in black stepped forward with a knife and was about to kill Chi Zhong, but he heard Chi Zhong say: "Mr. Tian's loyalty, righteousness and virtue cannot be reused, and I don't want to stay here." The villain has always admired Mr. Cai's talent, and he has benefited a lot from Mr.'s teachings over time. I am willing to leave with my husband, even if I am holding the stirrup for my husband, I am willing to ask him to take him in. ”

Tian Feng was stunned and looked at Chi Zhong in amazement.

During this time, he has been locked up in prison, and he has indeed received a lot of care from this red loyalty.

At the same time, Tian Feng also knew that if he didn't take Chi Zhong away, he was afraid that if he was out of prison with his front foot, Chi Zhong would be killed by these men in black with his back foot. Looking at the behavior of these men in black, they are definitely ruthless. Tian Feng hesitated, then looked up at the man in black.

"I want to take him with me, I don't know if it's okay?"

A look of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and after a while, he said softly: "It's not impossible for Mr. Tian to take him away."

It's just that you have to wronged him to ......"

"Well, then!"

Before Tian Feng's words fell, a man in black raised his hand and knocked Chi Zhong unconscious.

Then the two men in black stepped forward, gagged Chi Zhong's mouth with a black cloth, tied him up with ropes, and walked quickly towards the outside of the prison.

Tian Feng didn't dare to slack off. Follow the man in black.

When they came out of the prison, they saw a carriage parked outside.

"Please sir, get in the car."

The man in black let Tian Feng get into the car, and then put Chi Zhong in the car, and hurried away with the carriage.

At this time, Yecheng was in chaos.

After the news of Yuan Shao's defeat came, the people of Yecheng were panicked.

The man in black quickly changed his clothes in an alley, and then drove the carriage out of the city. It was getting late, and the gate of Yecheng was about to close. The carriage was stopped at the city gate, but a man in black was seen holding an arrow and handing it to the doorman. Even if you pass through guò the checkpoint.

"Where are we going?"

"Sir, don't panic, my father-in-law has already made arrangements.

Let's change to a carriage in front of us, and we're ready to go...... Tian Gongzi is now well, and he can't say that he is looking forward to the arrival of Mr. ”

"Pretending to be a ghost."

Tian Feng snorted coldly and leaned on the car.

The carriage left Yecheng. Taking advantage of the night, I traveled thirty miles and came to the bank of the Zhangshui River.

Here, a caravan is parked.

The man in black invited Tian Feng out of the car, helped him to board a truck, and then placed Chi Zhong on top of the vehicle.

"Mr. Tian, please be grieved for a while, and wait until we arrive in Yangxin. It's safe. ”

Yangxin?

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "You want to go to Bohai County?" ”

"Please rest assured, sir, we have walked this road many times and there is no problem."

The convoy started slowly. After crossing the Qingzhangshui ferry, go all the way east.

Tian Feng sat in the car, but closed his eyes.

He knew very well who these men in black were, the lords of their mouths. It's that one again.

It's just that this heart can't help but be a little awkward, and there are thousands of precautions. I didn't expect it to be a big deal in the end, is it really a man?

"Hey, who can sue me about the situation in Youzhou now?"

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

The situation in Youzhou has basically calmed down.

With Tian Yu as the Taishou of Yunzhong, after Guo Yuan took over Shanggu, Taishi Ci was appointed by Liu Chuang, worshiped the post of captain of Wuhuan, and stationed in Macheng.

Gao Gan attacked Yunzhong several times, but was blocked by Xu Sheng.

Seeing the arrival of midwinter, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Gao Gan to break through the clouds.

Xu Sheng followed Liu Chuang's strategy in Liaodong and built three ice cities from Qiangyin all the way to the west to hoard grain and grass to ensure the smooth flow of grain and grass. And the three of Wu'an, Wei Yue and Cao Xing, were stationed in the three cities respectively, and cut off the possibility of Peng'an, the Taishou of Yanmen County, intercepting the grain road.

In this case, Gao Gan also knew that it would be very difficult to conquer Yunzhong in one fell swoop.

In addition, the news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Guandu also made Gao Gan a little unintentional about the battle, and retreated to Xianyang after a few days of strong attack.

Gao Gan retreated, and Yuan Shao was defeated, which also made Youzhou's morale high.

At this time, Liu Chuang also ordered to stop foreign wars and began to concentrate on pacifying the bandits and bandits under Youzhou, as well as some rebels.

Overall, the situation in Youzhou has been temporarily eased.

However, the easing of the situation in Youzhou does not mean that the fighting has stopped......

Fu Zhu mobilized troops and horses in Gaoyang and stormed Yi County.

Zhang He sat on the north bank of Yishui and held on to the ...... Allowing Yuan Jun to provoke and insult in every way, the two turned a deaf ear. They scolded them, and Zhang He Gao looked at Xu Shu to just defend the Yishui defense line, which also made it extremely difficult for Fu Zhu to cross Yishui.

At the same time, Liu Chuang ordered Xiao Ling to take over Wuruan Pass.

Zhao Yun's troops came out of Bauhinia Ridge, with Hao Zhao as the deputy general and Lu Xun as the military division, and quickly approached Beiping.

As Liu Chuang had guessed, he agreed to mediate the conflict between Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, but only on the condition that Jiangdong would open the salt ban.

The increasing production of the Hiroshima salt works, especially the emergence of jeep salt, greatly filled the refined salt market.

Liu Chuang hoped to sell the salt from Guangludao to Jiangdong, but Zhuge Jin did not refuse. To be honest, Jiangdong does not produce much salt, and mainly relies on salt officials to produce. It is difficult for a single salt official to ensure that there is enough salt in Jiangdong. If Guangludao can give support, Zhuge Jin thinks it will be a good thing.

At this time, Jiangdong was not the land of fish and rice in later generations.

Although there are abundant minerals, they are not particularly abundant...... Liu Chuang and Zhuge Jin signed a number of cooperation agreements, which also made Zhuge Jin relax his vigilance.

After that, Liu Chuang offered to keep Lu Xun.

His reasons are also sufficient, and he directly brought Gu Yong's matter out as an excuse.

Of course, Zhuge Jin knew Cai Yong, and he had heard Cai Wenji's name mentioned, and he was also embarrassed about what happened to Cai Wenji.

This is Gu Yong's matter, and it seems natural that Liu Chuang wants to keep Lu Xun.

After Zhuge Jin communicated with Lu Xun, he saw that Lu Xun did not object, and naturally he would not object.

At this time, Zhuge Liang arrived in Zhuo County, Liu Chuang simply asked Zhuge Liang to be in charge of hospitality, and then took people to Dai County to welcome the arrival of Xun Chen's family.

After Lu Xun arrived at Wuruan Pass, he became the Sima in the army.

Nominally, he is in charge of military discipline, but in fact, he takes on the responsibility of giving advice to Zhao Yun.

"General Zilong doesn't have to worry, when Xun Lin came, Uncle Huang had already made arrangements.

The general only needs to Chen Bing outside Beiping County, and it won't be long before someone contacts the general. ”

Zhao Yun could see that Liu Chuang seemed to value this Lu Xun very much.

He was not the kind of person who was very strong, since Liu Chuang attached so much importance to Lu Xun, it was impossible to say that this Lu Xun must be extraordinary......

Chen Bing outside Beiping County?

It seems that this time, the lord is afraid that he has made arrangements.

The 5,000 Han army set up camp in the upper reaches of Yishui, and Zhao Yun did not attack it, but went to fight every day.

The battle of Yanxiang has already scared Yuan Xi out of his guts, where can he dare to fight.

Therefore, no matter how Zhao Yun fights, Yuan Xi can't avoid the battle. It's just that with the passage of time, there is less and less grain and grass in Beiping County. How can a small county town, with a population of only 8,000, suddenly stationed more than 10,000 soldiers and horses? For this reason, on the one hand, Yuan Xi sent people to ask for help, and on the other hand, he sent people to Wuji to urge Zhen's family to raise money and food to send to Beiping......

It is believed that the Zhen family is indeed having some difficulties at present.

However, they still showed their strong support for Yuan Xi, and even sold their property to raise money and food from others.

It won't be long before the Zhen family's money and grain can be delivered to Beiping. With this amount of money and food, Yuan Xi believes that he will be able to support the reinforcements.

Before you know it, it's almost the end of the month!

The flames of the Battle of Guandu have stopped......

On this day, Yuan Xi received a gift, and the money and food he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived in Beiping.
