Zhending County is located in the fifth of the "Taihang Eight Mountains", that is, fifty miles east of the "Jingcheng", close to the Hutuo River.

陉字, pronounced the same as punishment, means the place where the mountain range is interrupted.

Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, hundreds of mountains are interconnected, thousands of peaks are towering, and thousands of ravines are deep. Many rivers in Bingzhou cut through the Taihang Mountains and flowed out from west to east, so that some canyons through the Taihang Mountains were formed. There are eight of these east-west horizontal mountains that are more famous, namely: Jundu Cheng, Puyin Cheng, Flying Fox Cheng, Jingcheng Cheng, Fukou Cheng, Baicheng, Taihang Cheng, Yiguan Cheng, known as "Taihang Eight Cheng".

In the eleventh year of Gaozu, Dongyuan County was renamed Zhending County, which means real stability. However, when the troubled times came, even if Liu Bang personally gave the name of Zhending, there was no stability, and there was no peace.

Because it is not far from Jingcheng Pass, and there are many mountain bandits and bandits in Taihang Mountain, and the Yellow Turban was nearby at the beginning, the situation in Zhending County has not been very good in recent years, not only will it be attacked by bandits in the mountains from time to time, but also beware of the remnants of the Yellow Turban wandering around.

Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher, the general of Tiangong, started in Julu County at the beginning, and the distance there was only more than 100 miles. Zuo Zhonglang eliminated Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang with Huangfu Song, killed more than 100,000 prisoners, and built the bones of 100,000 people into a "Jingguan". This "Jingguan" is piled up on the bank of the Hutuo River, which is fifty miles downstream from Zhending.

Influenced by geography and the world, this area is a martial place similar to Sannohetei.

Twenty miles northwest of Zhending County, there is a place called Zhaojiazhuang, where most of the people in the village are farmers surnamed Zhao, among which Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Quan's family lives here.

On this day, a young man dressed as a scribe passed by Zhaojiazhuang, and felt thirsty for a while, so he shouted to the courtyard of Zhao's family through the firewood: "Is there anyone at home?" Xiao Ke passed by here and begged for a drink! ”

After a short time, a grizzled woman opened the door of the wood, filled a ladle made of a gourd with some water, and brought it to the scribe.

The scribe took the ladle, took a few sips, and then thanked him and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for the water!" Xiao Ke is a Nanyang people, passing by here, hungry and thirsty, so he has a cheeky face to denounce it. Now that the thirst is gone, but the stomach is empty and hungry, I wonder if I can enjoy a meal to eat? ”

The woman didn't expect this well-dressed scholar to be so difficult, and she had to eat after drinking water, and her eyes showed an expression of "I see that your face is really thick", and then said with some hesitation: "The man in the family is sick in bed, and I am a woman who is serving me around, and I really can't afford to entertain Mr., so please go to another house and ask." ”

While the woman was saying this, the sound of a man coughing violently came from inside the house, proving that what she had said was true.

When the scholar heard this, not only did he not leave, but he became even more energetic, and even said: "Wow, I don't know what disease your man has?" I know a little bit about the art of Qihuang, maybe I can help your man heal. ”

When the woman heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Please wait here while I come into the house and ask my man." ”

The scholar was not in a hurry, and said politely: "It should be so, I will wait here, and after inviting my sister-in-law into the house, I will persuade your man to let me show him!" ”

After the woman entered the house, the scholar whispered to himself: "It's really God's help, now you don't have to worry about being chased and killed by that person with a gun in the future......"

This young scribe who has some "no skin and no face" is the first follower recruited by Liu He in Sanhu Pavilion - Li Yan.

That day, after Li Yan learned that Liu He wanted to use An Pingguo to exchange Zhao Yun's service with Gongsun Zhan, he didn't sleep well all night, thinking over and over again how to help Liu He realize this wish.

Although I don't know why Liu He is so important to the little-known Zhao Yun, Li Yan knows that he will develop in the direction of governance in the future, but Zhao Yun is from a martial artist and has no direct competition with him, so he is not very angry and resentful.

Gongzi will inevitably be the lord in the future, and as a male lord with achievements, he must be full of talents, both civil and military. Li Yan has now taken the lead, and for the time being, he has not thought about competing with others for power and profit, but how to show his ability and talent.

After a night of thinking, Li Yan finally came up with a "bitter meat separation plan", so he hurriedly told Liu He.

Li Yan's idea was to go to Zhao Yun's hometown to inquire about the situation in his family on the one hand, and then secretly create some "trouble" for Zhao Yun's family that was enough for Zhao Yun to go home, and on the other hand, he pretended to be someone from Zhao Yun's family to send him a message, urgently summoning Zhao Yun home, and waiting until Zhao Yun left, and then trying to find a way to separate the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun.

Because Liu He's father Liu Yu is stationed in the Zhending area, if someone blows the wind in Gongsun Zhan's ear and says that Zhao Yun's hometown is actually nothing to do at all, what do you think Gongsun Zhan, who is already a little worried about Zhao Yun, will do?

At that time, Gongsun Chan must have been even more disgusted with Zhao Yun, and Liu He pretended not to know that Zhao Yun had left, and offered to exchange Anping Guo for Zhao Yun when he believed in the Xindu League like a "two hundred and five".

What reason does Gongsun Chan have for not agreeing? Zhao Yunren has already left, and besides, he is not uncommon, and now there is a fool who will send a huge bargain to the door, why not change it?

However, Li Yan's strategy doesn't look good! Although Liu He's goal was finally achieved, it was clear that Zhao Yun could be recruited with only a "discord plan", why did he add a "bitter meat plan" in front of him, and he had to help Liu He send An Pingguo out of Lu?

This is called "buying horse bones", and Li Yan's real power and cleverness are here!

An Pingguo is a chicken rib for Liu He, and he will not be so painful as to take a vote of people there to develop no matter what, unless he wants to be killed by Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao.

But if Liu He made an astonishing move in the next Xindu Alliance-he did not hesitate to give up a country for the sake of a small military marquis! How exciting do you think it should be after such news comes out? How excited should those fierce people who have not yet found their masters to serve listen to? At what speed will Liu He's reputation for cherishing talents rise?

Of course, this strategy also has shortcomings, or "sequelae", that is, if Zhao Yun learns that the "accident" in his family was done by Liu He and the idea was made by Li Yan, will he make a move to kill the master to vent his anger and chase down the accomplices?

On that day, at the head of Gaoyi City, Liu He said to Li Yan, "You are not afraid to do this, if Zhao Yun knows that in the future, he will stab you to death with a gentian gun", which refers to this section.

In order not to be hunted down and killed by Zhao Yun in the future, Li Yan, the initiator, asked Liu He for his life and personally came to arrange this matter. The matter of creating "trouble" for Zhao Yun's family seems simple, but it is necessary to take a good measure, not to go overboard and make a fatal thing, but also to force Zhao Yun not to come back.

Li Yan came to Zhaojiazhuang today to investigate the situation in Zhao Yun's family.

Before coming, he had already thought of several plans, such as sending someone to pretend to be a bandit in the mountains to loot one day and night, and then kidnapping Zhao Yun's family in the chaos, or seriously injuring him; For example, he instigated a bad official in Zhending County to arrest Zhao Yun's family and put him in prison on charges of a crime, and then he stabbed this official again......

However, when Li Yan learned from the woman that Zhao Yun's eldest brother Zhao Quan was now seriously ill in bed, he instantly had a better idea. Isn't Zhao Quan's illness in bed not a big trouble for the Zhao family? This kind of trouble can't be created even if you want to, it's just God's special for Childe!

As long as someone sends a message to Zhao Yun, who is far away in Nanpi, he will say that his brother is seriously ill and will die soon, do you think Zhao Yun can come back?

What's even better is that Li Yan not only doesn't have to carry the black pot for Liu He this time, but also can make Zhao Yun more grateful to Liu He in the future. The solution is very simple, that is, on the one hand, to release the news that Zhao Quan is seriously ill and dying, and on the other hand, to find a way to treat Zhao Quan well!

Even if Zhao Yun goes home at that time and finds that his brother is actually not that serious, and even has recovered from a serious illness, do you think he can still hold a grudge against Liu Gongzi who treated his brother carefully?

Li Yanmei stood outside the courtyard thinking about the future, and Zhao Quan's daughter-in-law went and returned.

"This gentleman, my man agreed, please go into the house and see him."

Li Yan then followed the woman into the courtyard and came to the house where Zhao Quan was lying.

It doesn't matter whether Li Yan really knows how to see a doctor or not, as long as he can "flicker". At the beginning, Li Yan served as a household cao in Danshui County, dealing with all kinds of people, and it was not difficult to pretend to be a doctor who could see the disease, anyway, he didn't plan to really prescribe any medicine to Zhao Quan.

Looking at Zhao Quan on the couch with a sallow face and a chest rising and falling, Li Yan pretended to diagnose Zhao Quan's pulse, and then showed an exaggerated expression on his face.

"Oh, the patient's situation is not optimistic! If you don't heal again, I'm afraid you won't survive this winter! ”

When the woman heard this, she trembled with fright, and said with a crying voice, "Please also ask this gentleman to use his skill to save the man who has saved my life." ”

Li Yan shook his head like a rattle and said, "It's difficult, it's really difficult!" There is no herb I use to save people in the Zhuangzi in this area, even if you want to save your man, there is nothing you can do! ”

The woman hurriedly asked, "I don't know what herbs are needed?" Please also write it down, I will go to the county seat to buy medicine, even if it is to sell the house and land, I will save my man's life! ”

"Alas, even if you sell your house and land, you won't be able to do it!"

"Ahh How's that good? Whew...... "The woman sat on the ground weakly and began to sob.

Zhao Quan, who was lying on the bed, couldn't see that his daughter-in-law was sad, so he gasped and said to Li Yan: "You scholar, you are hateful!" If you can't save me, why bother here! I, Zhao Quan, know that my life will not be long in coming, if you are really a kind person, please help me bring a message to my brother, my brother's name is Zhao Yun...... Ahem......"

Seeing that Zhao Quan was coughing uncomfortably, Li Yan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "This big brother is really impatient, and I didn't say that I wouldn't treat you!" To tell you the truth, I know a good friend in Gaoyi City, who has a few extremely rare herbs hidden in his house, and he can't find them outside. If you want to be cured, you and your wife need to go to Gaoyi with me, and this Zhaozhuang can't stay any longer. ”

"It must cost a lot of money to cure this disease, right?" The woman stopped crying and asked with some concern.

"Spending money is a trivial matter, my friend is very kind, as long as he hears about your difficulties, he will definitely lend a hand. Now I am only worried that you will be reluctant to give up this courtyard and a few acres of thin fields, and will not go to Gaoyi with me. ”

"Ken, why not! This time I have the final say, even if the little uncle comes back, he will definitely not blame me! ”

In order to save her man, the woman wiped away her tears and said with a determined face.
