Xu Sheng is a person who is not very expressive.

And Liu Chuang is not a person who is good at communicating...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so many friends in his previous life.

Two people who are not very expressive collide with each other, so there are all kinds of misunderstandings.

Xu Sheng thinks: Come and keep me, as long as you keep me, I will agree...... If you don't open this mouth, how can I stay?

But Liu Chuang is the kind of: You have to make it clear to me!

If you don't make it clear, how do I know what you think? I want you to stay, but wouldn't it be shameless if I opened my mouth and you refused?

Two face-loving guys had a misunderstanding by accident.

If it weren't for Elk's timely response, maybe Liu Chuang would have passed by Xu Sheng.

Lu Jin knew that Liu Chuang admired Xu Sheng very much. However, although his temperament has changed greatly, some things have not changed, and if no one threads the needle in it, I am afraid he will not express it lightly. It's like at the beginning, if Elk didn't force Liu Chuang to make a decision, I'm afraid this wooden guy wouldn't have said such embarrassing but sweet words as 'I like you' in the end.

Liu Chuang's breath in his heart was smoothed out all of a sudden.

As for Xiaodouzi and Xu Sheng, the development momentum is very good......

Seeing that Xiaodouzi can find happiness, Liu Chuang is also very happy in his heart.

The ship walked at sea for two days, and on June 23, finally arrived at Yandu...... Yandu, that is, the salt city of later generations. It began in the Western Han Dynasty and is famous for its salt production. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yandu was allocated to Guangling County, but with the erosion of the Han Dynasty, the Yandu Salt Field was gradually abandoned. Especially after Emperor Huan, Yandu was poached by the Elk family, and it was almost out of production, and no one cared about it.

In other words, salt has become a frontier wasteland.

However, there have been many capable people in the salt desecration.

Among them, the most famous figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty is probably the father of Sun Quan, Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, who later established the state of Wu and stood with Cao Wei and Shu Han. Time and years, pirates wreaked havoc. Sun Jian is the salt desecration and the first county governor to be recorded in the salt desecration history book.

The sky was bright, Liu Chuang stood on the deck, watching the ships carrying men and horses, slowly walking towards the shore.

The salt works are almost abandoned, but the air is still filled with a hint of saltiness...... This important town, which has supported the salt industry of the Han dynasty for 400 years and ensured the supply of salt in Lianghuai, has shown a dull twilight from a distance, and looks like a bleak and desolate feeling.

"Childe, let's go ashore."

Xue Wen walked over and said softly: "Uncle Yong and Uncle Hai have already gone ashore, and the three ladies have also boarded the boat, leaving only you and Wen Xiang." ”

After walking by sea for two days and blowing the sea breeze in Yuzhou Mountain for five days, Liu Chuang suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Guangling County is not a familiar world.

Leaving from Qu County, he is equivalent to stepping into this strange world. The previous series of fights gave him no time to feel nostalgic, and now, he was a little scared! But no matter how frightened you are, you have to go ashore...... Fifteen hundred years from now, the vast sea may be full of opportunities. But in this era, the sea is synonymous with death, and the real opportunity is still in front of the continent.

There may be an opportunity to explore the ocean in the future, but for now, the time is not yet ripe......

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang took a deep breath and jumped from the ship to the ship.

Xianglongma also got on the boat, and then Xue Wen and Xu Sheng followed Liu Chuang, riding on the boat, and slowly sailed to the beach.

The sea boat behind him slowly sailed away after Liu Chuang and others went ashore.

When the sea ship disappeared into the horizon, Liu Chuang suddenly smiled and said, "Gentlemen, from now on, we are a lone army. ”

"Hah!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Liu Chuang turned over and got on his horse, coiled the dragon stick and buckled it on another pack horse, and then urged the horse to go.

Moose and Little Beans still rode in the carriage, but there was an extra team of guards on both sides of the carriage. Xu Sheng was ordered to lead a team of cavalry to be responsible for the safety of the chariot.

Guan Hai was the vanguard, leading a team of horse troops.

The rest were infantry troops, divided into two teams, commanded by Liu Chuang and Liu Yong respectively.

The team of more than 200 people was obviously much stronger than the dozens of people who were alone before. But Liu Chuang didn't dare to take it lightly, the more times like this, the more cautious he became. Any laxity could lead to death. All the way from Qu County, Liu Chuang has experienced a lot of scenes. Compared with the youthfulness when he first came out of Qu County, Liu Chuang is obviously more calm now.

"Mr. Huang, how do we go?"

Huang Shao took out a cowhide map, looked at it twice, and said, "Go to Gaoyou, and then go straight to the Jiangshui Temple." ”

"Didn't you say go to Hailing?"

"Hailing is equivalent to a long detour...... Now that we have more men and horses, we must have some supplies along the way...... Although it is fast to walk Hailing, it is somewhat dangerous. Hailing is too close to the Tanglin Pavilion, and the Tanglin Pavilion, as the capital of the river, must have soldiers and horses.

In the past, we were all horse troops, and we could avoid the Tanglin Pavilion defenders.

But now ......"

Huang Shao pointed to the soldiers and horses beside him, and said softly: "With so many infantry troops, going to Hailing will definitely alarm the defenders of Tanglin Pavilion, and it is definitely not the best choice."

Let's change into the official and military clothes, and it will be more convenient to go to Gaoyou.

Since you can't hide from it, it's better to act boldly...... As long as you can reach the Jiangshui Temple, it will be considered a great success. ”

After listening to Huang Shao's explanation, Liu Chuang no longer doubted.

They rested for a while in Yandu, replenished some heavy grain and grass, and then marched westward. The Yandu County Commander didn't care too much about such a group of soldiers and horses. First, he was powerless to resist; Second, this army is dressed as a Han army, although the origin is unknown, but the Han army that appeared in Yandu during this period is Liu Bei's subordinates, so why should he be a villain?

Anyway, salt desecration is nothing to pay attention to!

In the past, there was a salt factory here, but now, the salt works have been suspended, and he has lost the last interest in the county order.

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

At this time, the situation in Xuzhou changed again.

Yuan Shu was knocked by Liu Bei and was about to find the field, but Liu Bei retreated and ran back to compete with Lu Bu for Xiapi.

Yuan Shu, who has suffered a loss, how can he give up?

He immediately ordered Ji Ling to be the vanguard, crossed the Huaishui from Zhongli, and occupied Hongxian.

Chen Dengtun soldiers in Xiaqiu, but he did not show any flaws. But in the face of the aggressive Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, Chen Deng still felt struggling.

So, he quickly sent someone home to ask his old father Chen? Seek advice.

Old? The reply was only four words: follow the trend.

What does it mean to follow the trend?

To put it bluntly, it's who listens to whomever has the big fist...... As a Guangling family, the Chen family has unparalleled influence in Xuzhou. Old? The attitude is very clear: no one will help! I only do my part, other things, nothing else has anything to do with me. This Xuzhou, whether it is surnamed Tao, surnamed Liu or surnamed Lu, in the end, we have to win over my Chen family. In that case, why should I care who rules?

As long as you don't affect the interests of my Chen family, I won't help anyone.

Of course, if the person in charge of Xuzhou is worthy of my service, I don't mind favoring it.

Lu Bu, the world? Tiger, the reputation is too bad, naturally it can't get into the eyes of the Chen family; And Liu Bei has the reputation of benevolence, but he is worthy of help...... But the problem is that although your reputation Liu Bei is good, you are now a lost dog, even if I help you, you must be careful.

Chen Deng realized Chen? immediately sent someone to report to Xia Pi.

Although Lu Bu won Xiapi, on the night of seizing Xiapi, his old father-in-law Cao Bao died at the hands of Zhang Fei.

This also cut off a channel for him to communicate with the local clans in Xuzhou...... When he was in a dilemma, Chen Deng suddenly sent someone to come. Although Chen Deng did not indicate his intention of allegiance, in Lu Bu's opinion, this was undoubtedly the kindness released by the Guangling Chen clan to him.

There is Chen Deng, who is a hundred times better than Cao Bao.

"The prince should treat the Chen family well.

However, Chan can be used but not credible...... Therefore, when in contact with Chen, it is still necessary to be more careful. Chen Dengqi should be encircled, but he should be careful. The prince can refute him for Xuzhou, test Chen Deng's attitude, and then make plans. ”

Chen Gong did not particularly believe in Chen Deng's so-called surrender.

However, Lü Bu did not listen, and in his opinion, Chen Deng's ability to report to him was also a sign of loyalty to him in a certain way.

In that case, how could Lu Bu refuse?
