Chapter 39: Twenty-five Horsemen

Regardless of whether he met Li Yan or not, Liu He was ready to leave Sanhu Pavilion, Danshui, and Nanyang.

During this time, the Sanhu Pavilion was undoubtedly lively, and Liu He's planning and calculations were basically successful, but these were just some small actions he made in order to practice his hands.

Even if a small team is unintentionally pulled, even if two large-scale dock forts are captured, even if thousands of people die outside Danshui City, what are these compared to the major events that are happening in the world?

In this era of war and chaos, there are wars and bloodshed every day, and many soldiers and civilians die every day.

Cao Cao has already gained a firm foothold in Dongjun, and the next step should be to control Yanzhou and attack Xuzhou; In order to seize the entire Jizhou, Yuan Shao was busy sending troops to attack Han Fu with Gongsun Zhan; Liu Yan had already occupied Yizhou, and Zhang Lu had also been sent to Hanzhong; Yuan Shu had already ordered Sun Jian to send troops to attack Liu Biao, and Huang Zu had also set up a battle in Jiangxia; Wang Yun is secretly hooking up with Lu Bu and plotting against Dong Zhuo......

Now it seems that not only Liu He, who is in a hurry to return to the north, but everyone is actually very busy. Busy grabbing territory, busy recruiting troops, busy recruiting talents, busy surviving in the world of war and chaos.

Liu He's only reliance, his father Liu Yu, is also accumulating soldiers and horses in Youzhou, preparing to clean up his very disobedient subordinate Gongsun Zhan. If Liu He can't rush back in time to help Liu Yu plan, then it won't be long before he collects his father's body.

Liu He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to live according to his own ideas in this troubled world, he had to go back to Youzhou, and he had to go back to Youzhou as soon as possible!

Of course, if he can abduct an internal affairs talent who can argue with Zhuge Liang later before leaving, it will undoubtedly make Liu Dagongzi feel more comfortable and happy.

Now those cats and dogs under Liu Yu's account, such as Wei You, Cheng Xu, Zhao Gai, Gongsun Ji, and Xian Yufu, are really not on the big scene! The only talent who can be used is Tian Chou, who is not now by Liu Yu's side to help Liu Yu deal with the wolf-like Gongsun Zan and the ambitious Yuan Shao, but follows Liu He to do some small tricks of "stealing chickens and dogs", "colluding with bandits" and "pretending to be robbers".

In the previous life, how could Liu He, an unemployed teacher who took cultivating "four haves" talents as his own responsibility, sit back and watch his father have no one available?

Absolutely not!

In view of this, after meeting Li Yan, Liu Dagongzi did not hesitate to draw him into his "talent basket" in his heart.

Li Yan asked Liu He: "Gongzi is an angel, why did he appear in Zhaojiabao?" ”

Liu He replied: "The people in front rebelled and blocked the way, so they had to stay in Zhaojiabao for a while. ”

Li Yan asked again: "Why don't you see the person in charge of the Zhao family in the Zhaojiawu Fort, but you see Qu Yong, the successor of the Qu family?" ”

Liu He replied: "Zhaojiabao and Jingjiabao have just been broken by two strongmen in Fengxiang City, and the adult men of the two clans are basically dead. ”

Li Yan asked again: "I wonder when the son will leave for Danshui County?" ”

Liu He replied: "When the civil unrest in various places subsides, we will leave." ”

After listening to Liu He's explanation, Li Yan smiled helplessly, and his face showed an expression of "you are stupid to me".

Liu He also smiled, with a "you know" expression on his face.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and both sides seemed to be thinking about what to say next.

After a while, Liu He opened his mouth to remind: "Brother Zhengfang hasn't answered my question yet." ”

Li Yan felt a little aggrieved in his heart, he asked Liu He three questions in a row just now, but he was sent away by the other party in a few words, so he still didn't know what the relationship between Liu He and Yuan Yin was.

If you ask this sensitive question directly, won't it make Liu He suspicious?

However, Li Yan is not a vegetarian, and from Liu He's answer just now, he can already be sure that the great changes in Zhaojiawu Fort are absolutely inseparable from this smiling guy, so Li Yan is ready to tell the truth about his absconding.

Telling lies in front of Liu He, Li Yan felt that his group was likely to be directly killed by the sinister guy in front of him; And to tell the truth, maybe there's still half the life.

"Don't dare to deceive the son, in Xia actually escaped from Danshui County."

Subsequently, Li Yan truthfully told Liu He about his hardship. After Liu He listened, he stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.

"I'm rubbing, I can meet Li Yan today, it has something to do with the previous arrangement. If this thing knew that I had caused him to be like this, would he have used a knife to cut me? Liu He thought so in his heart, but said with a sigh: "Yuan Yin, this idiot, really disappointed Brother Zhengfang's kindness!" ”

Li Yan wanted to take on the sentence "Yuan Yin is indeed a fool", but because of his cultivation, he still held back.

"Brother Zhengfang, with all due respect, you took dozens of people to Fengxiang City, you are really suspected of being secretly invested in Mingzhu! Follow a group of bandits to live a life, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that your reputation will be tarnished! Liu He had an expression of hatred on his face.

Li Yan: "......".

"Zhengfang, why don't you just follow me. With me covering you, don't say that Yuan Yin doesn't dare to touch you, even Yuan Shu can't touch you! "Something is starting to brag without discipline.

Li Yan: "What about those who escaped with me?" ”

"Stay, you will be your subordinates from now on!" Liu He continued to flicker.

Li Yan pondered carefully, and it seemed that this deal was not bad. Following the side of the eldest son of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and the envoy of the Son of Heaven, not only is the backing strong enough, but it also sounds like a face, which can be described as "high-end atmosphere and grade", so he hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Li Yan is willing to follow the son, and from now on, he will not give up!" ”

Seeing that Li Yan finally nodded, Liu He's heart that was hanging in the air finally fell. "Hehe, this deal is really profitable today! Not only did he get Li Yan, but there were also dozens of strong men to add to his head, and Lao Tzu was worried that his subordinates were not enough! ”

"Come on, hold a feast in the castle, welcome Li Zhengfang and all the brothers to join!"

That night, Li Yan and dozens of his men were drunk.

On the second day, when Li Yan woke up, he found himself lying in a carriage, and Liu He, who was looking out, was sitting beside him.

"Childe, where are we going?" Li Yan rubbed his somewhat painful head and asked puzzledly.

"Let's go back to Youzhou!" Liu He's answer was very crisp, not muddy at all.

"What! Back to Youzhou? Li Yan was shocked and hurriedly sat up. Didn't Gongzi want to represent the Son of Heaven to envoy Jingzhou? ”

"That's a disguise, the real mission of this envoy is to go to Youzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven!"

When Li Yan heard this, he hurriedly looked outside the car, and found that there were only a dozen people guarding the car in front of him, and none of the people he brought out from Danshui were missing, including his nephew Li Han.

Li Yan found that he was now "kidnapped" by Liu He, so he asked with some concern: "Childe, now that I am your entourage, where you go, I will naturally follow, but I don't know how you settled the dozens of people I brought out from Danshui?" ”

As if he saw Li Yan's thoughts, Liu He said soothingly: "Don't worry, Zhengfang, I have left Tian Chou in the Sanhu Pavilion, and in the future, he and the Qu family will take care of your brothers, and they will definitely not suffer." The stakes are really high for us to return to Youzhou this time, and our team must be able to use it well, so there are not many people. ”

"But...... Childe, is our team too small? There are only twenty-six people including the escort and the coachman! Li Yan let go of the burden in his heart and consciously began to plan for Liu He.

"There are many people and big goals, thousands of miles to Youzhou, and the logistics supply is also very difficult, and there are twenty-five people with me, which is already the limit!"

The twenty-five people in Liu He's mouth include: Wang Yue, Shi A, Ding Kuang, Xian Yuyin, Li Yan and the twenty carefully selected veterans of Shenxi.

In today's era of chaos and bandits, whenever an important person from a large family travels, he is accompanied by as few as two or three hundred people, and as many as thousands of guards, for fear that something unexpected will happen on the road. In Li Yan's opinion, Liu Hegui is the eldest son of the special envoy of the Son of Heaven and the Taifu Liu Yu, and it is appropriate to get 500 people in the accompanying car driving team.

The problem is, Liu He has been tossing for half a month, and the total number of soldiers he can use is only more than 300 people, where do you ask him to get a team of 500 people out?

Before Liu He left, he couldn't bear the reluctance in his heart, but he still left Tian Chou behind. In order to leave a shadow in the Nanyang area, which is relatively close to Chang'an, Liu He hid in his house when no one was there these days, and summed up some ideas and ideas on how to carry out guerrilla warfare in the mountainous and hilly areas. Although it is relatively scattered and has not yet formed a complete system, he left the sixteen-character mantra of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase" to Tian Chou.

In addition to setting the direction of development for Shen Xijun, Liu He also specially talked to Deng Hai and Chen Gui in depth, and the specific content of the conversation was only known to the three of them, but the effect was obvious.

When Deng Hai and Chen Gui walked out of the secret room where the Zhao family had originally hidden gold and silver treasures, the expressions on their faces were solemn and sacred, as if Liu He had "opened the light" for them in the secret room.

Qu Meng insisted on following Liu He to leave, although he didn't know that Liu He's real destination was Youzhou, but what was revealed from his slightly green face was a look of respect and determination.

After getting along with Liu He for more than ten days, although the time was short, this young man saw the unique charm of Liu He, although he was still a little unconvinced, but in his heart he actually regarded Liu He as a brother and a teacher.

Liu He is not pretentious, not hypocritical, does not like to use power to oppress people, but is good at taking advantage of the situation and building momentum, in order to achieve the goal, sometimes do not act like a gentleman, but do not violate the world of life and work.

However, Liu He finally rejected Qu Meng's willingness to follow, but left him a sentence "The paper is shallow, and you must bow to it", and then left Zhaojiawu Fort in the early morning of that autumn wind without any delay.

When Liu He left from Zhaojiabao, there were only twenty-five people around him, and it was also called "Twenty-five rode out of Nanyang and stirred the world with thunder." ”
