Seven thousand people, which is not much for the total population of Karasuma.

Liaoxi Karasuma, with a total population of hundreds of thousands, and the Karasuma people inherit the habits of nomads, and it can be said that all the people are soldiers. So 7,000 people, not much! What made him uncomfortable was that he could break through the defense line at the western foot of Louzi Mountain, but he had to stop fighting.

In my heart, I held back the fire in my belly!

And what about Liu Chuang?

It's a real loss.

Three thousand soldiers and horses, even less than half of Karasuma's loss, but for Liu Chuang, who only has tens of thousands of immigrants as the base, he can't afford it.

It's just that Liu Chuang's tough attitude makes everyone scratch their heads.

No one can figure out whether Liu Chuang really wants to burn with Karasuma Jade...... If this is the case, Liaoxi will inevitably scorch the earth for thousands of miles, and corpses will be everywhere. If such a situation really occurs, Yuan Shao can't afford to be infamy. In addition, his control over Youzhou was not very high, after all, it had been less than a year since Gongsun Zan died, and even if Yuan Shao had a great leader, it was impossible for the entire Youzhou to obey him.

Xian Yufu is one of the representatives.

In fact, the Youzhou people's acceptance of Yuan Shao is far less high than outsiders think.

Historically, although Youzhou is a bitter cold place, it can also be called an outstanding person. But in this land of talents, there are very few people who surrender to Yuan Shao, and there are even fewer people who are really loyal to Yuan Shao in the end. It seems that when Yuan Shaogang occupied Youzhou, he issued many expeditions, but the results were not satisfactory. Most of them rejected Yuan Shao's expedition, and some even fled to northern Xinjiang......

In the original history, in order to show his influence, Yuan Shao forcibly recruited Zheng Xuan on the sickbed, causing Zheng Xuan's death.

Now, Zheng Xuan is in Liaoxi.

But for Yuan Shao, it is of no use.

The construction of Nanshan Academy. made Yuan Shao a little jealous of Zheng Xuan, how dare he ask for trouble?

Moreover, Yuan Shao was wary of Liu Chuang, and even wanted to annex Liu Chuang's subordinates. But the problem is that if Liu Chuang really wants to burn the jade with the Karasuma people, Yuan Shao can't stand idly by. Youzhou, there has been a dead imperial uncle. Now if another imperial uncle dies, Yuan Shao will also have to worry about the consequences. Not to mention that he was preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, in case this incident affected the overall situation, the gains outweighed the losses.

So. Yuan Shao could only give an order and ordered a truce.

In this case, both sides have their own thoughts. Sit back in one place.

Only this time, the location of the meeting was changed to Yangle County, and it was personally supervised by Chun Yuqiong.

But the differences between the two sides are just too great!

He wanted to fight, but Liu Chuang refused to bow his head.

This also makes the negotiation process very difficult.

Lu Zhu and Xia Houlan came to Yangle on behalf of Liu Chuang. Negotiate hard with the envoys of Badun, Tatar and Moli.

At his request, the Han army withdrew from Louzi Mountain and gave up the Liugu River. The two sides are bounded by the Liugu River, the east is owned by Karasuma, and the west is owned by Liu Chuangtuntian. Meantime. Liu Chuang demanded compensation of 20,000 stone of grain and grass, as well as 1 million yuan, and the release of the captured Karasuma people.

If in terms of the strength of both sides. Ratton's request is not excessive.

But this time, Lu Zhu got Liu Chuang's order, no matter what, he must delay it...... You can back down a little bit, so that you must delay the negotiations. As for how long? Elk Zhu didn't know either. So it's a little bit of grinding time.

Liu Chuang agreed to release the captives, but still demanded. Karasuma exchanged things for people.

Of course, it is impossible to make such an excessive request for two horses and three cows for one person, and Elk Zhu directly asked Karasuma to take out 8,000 war horses and 20,000 cattle and sheep in exchange this time. In addition, Lu Zhu also raised objections on whether to withdraw from the army. He can withdraw from the west foot of Louzi Mountain, but it must be bounded by Louzi Mountain, not by the Liugu River...... Such a requirement is far from the conditions of Karasuma. However, this time, Badun was the main envoy of Tartar Ji, and he seemed to be more patient, and he even started a verbal argument with Lu Zhu.

Lu Zhu's hole card is Liu Chuang's tough attitude.

It's amazing that the jade is burned, and it will be beaten again.

That sounds like a bummer...... But it works wonders.

Chun Yuqiong had been informed by Yuan Shao that the battle of Liaoxi must not be continued.

The entire Youzhou is now staring at the land of Liaoxi. Nowadays, Youzhou is like a powder keg, once the negotiations break down, war will inevitably break out.

Yuan Shao's request is: Be sure to promote reconciliation between Liu Chuang and Bang Dun.

This also made Chun Yuqiong feel a headache, but she had to stand by Liu Chuang's side and help Liu Chuang persuade Karasuma.

He understands now that this Laoshizi Liaoxi is too guarded, and it is really difficult to do.

Karasuma or Liu Chuang...... In the end, both sides are masters, and both sides can't afford to offend, so both sides must be appeased and persuaded.

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

In September, temperatures are getting colder.

People say that an autumn rain is a cold, but in Liaodong, this is not the case.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaodong came very early in winter every year. Almost after the Mid-Autumn Festival, one foot stepped into the door of the harsh winter.

After four years of Jian'an, it is still the same.

By September, the temperature has dropped below 10°C, and after dark, it may even drop below freezing.

Such a huge temperature difference makes many people feel uncomfortable. After September, many people became ill, including Lu Jin, Zhuge Ling and Xun Dan...... However, Liu Chuang made some preparations in advance, but there was no big problem. However, Mrs. Yan and the Cao family had a serious illness, especially Mrs. Yan, who was a little old, and had adapted to the climate of the Central Plains before, so she naturally suffered a lot of discomfort in the severe cold. Fortunately, Wu Pu and Zhang Guo were both in Linyu, so Mrs. Yan's condition did not deteriorate.

But even so, Liu Chuang still recalled Lu Bu from Louzishan and asked him to take care of his wife and children.

Subsequently, he ordered Zhang Liao to be the main general and take over the Han army in Louzishan.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan continued to stay in the Han army camp in Louzi Mountain, but before that, Lu Bu had already ordered the two of them to take over the Flying Bear Ride......

In the battle of Louzi Mountain, Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan gained a lot.

Under Lu Bu's suggestion, Zhao Yun's understanding of the art of riding and fighting deepened a lot.

He already had this foundation. In Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is the main horseman, and he is not particularly unfamiliar with the command of cavalry battles. Now with Zhao Yun's suggestion and the assistance of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Zhao Yun has naturally made rapid progress. Although he was not able to achieve the realm of arm rotation like Lu Bu, as long as he had enough time, I believe he could reach this level quickly...... Liu Chuang did not doubt this.

It's Xia Houlan, the harvest is even greater!

The first battle of Louzi Mountain, especially in the later defense battle. Xia Houlan actually broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and entered the realm of refining gods.

After Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Pang De and others, Liu Chuang's account was the ninth military general to reach the realm of refining gods.

Previously. Because Liu Yong left, Liu Chuang felt a pity.

Can ...... now

Xia Houlan broke through the bottleneck, not only to greatly improve his strength, but more importantly, Huang Zhong's marriage to Xia Houlan and the Huang family's lady. No more objections. This also made Liu Chuang happy for Xia Houlan. After the Battle of Louzi Mountain ended, Liu Chuang transferred Xiahoulan back to Linyu, saying that it was to strengthen Linyu's military strength, but in fact, it was to let him and Huang Niangzi get along more.

"Zhongda, look at the weather. Winter will soon begin. ”

Standing in the room of the boat, Liu Chuang held on to the railing and looked at the sea.

Liaodong Bay in September. In smooth water.

The sea is blue, a peaceful and peaceful color.

The Flying Bear rode the wind and waves on the sea, and the big flag embroidered with the Flying Bear pattern on the bow of the ship hunted in the sea breeze and waved in the wind.

Sima Yi and Du Yi. stood behind Liu Chuang.

Both of them wore fur coats. to protect against the sea breeze.

"Cousin, before that is Changxing Island, after bypassing Changxing Island, it is the Yu family."

In the center of the finch room, there is a sand table.

What is drawn by the sand table is the sea map of Liaodong Bay.

This is Sima Yi and Zhou Cang's several explorations, and it was made. For the sake of this sand table, Sima Yi and Zhou Cang had to sail at night to investigate.

"Bypass Changxing Island and land here.

From here, about fifty miles to the west, it is deserted, and then you can reach the county seat of Yushi.

According to the detailed work I arranged in the Tuo's report, the Hur's has been very calm recently, and there is no abnormal phenomenon. Presumably, Guan Cheng also sensed something, so he kept hiding in the county town and had no intention of going to sea. However, after a while, we will enter the middle of winter, which is also the most rampant period for pirates. If there is any change in the management, it will definitely be carried out during this time. ”

"How many pirates are there?"

"About three thousand."

Sima Yi took a step forward and came behind Liu Chuang, "This batch of Donglai thieves has six ships and more than 30 ships.

Cousin, the sea area of the Yu clan is very complicated, especially the sea area west of the Yu clan, that is, the sea area that bypasses the landing of Changxing Island, and is full of reefs. The Donglai thieves rarely land here, they usually detour from the old iron mountain and land in the east of the Yushi, where the sea area is relatively safe, far less complex than the terrain in the west sea. It's just that in this way, if we want to sneak attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work. ”

Liu Chuang turned around and walked to the sand table.

He stared at the sand table, squinted his eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly smiled.

"Is it feasible to land on the west side with a warship?"

"Landing on a ship?"

Sima Yi thought for a while, "It's okay, but it's still dangerous." ”

He paused, then continued: "The most important thing is that landing with a warship is doomed to be impossible to make a big move...... Moreover, there are a large number of pirates in the Yu clan, and if the troops are insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to be effective. If it really doesn't work, let's force a landing from the east of the Yu Clan? ”

Sima Yi and Liu Chuang discussed, and Du Yi listened silently on the side.

Now that he is doing things by Liu Chuang's side, he naturally knows when to speak and when to be silent.

"Bohou, what do you think?"

Hearing Liu Chuang's inquiry, Du Yi said in a deep voice: "Frontal attack, the loss is too great.

Gongzi's current forces are not sufficient, and the next step to stabilize the situation in Liaodong still needs sufficient deterrence, so losses should be minimized. Ji thought that the Po Yu clan should also be based on strange soldiers...... I thought that what Childe said about landing was a brilliant idea. ”

"You mean, from the north of the Clan?"

Du Yi nodded and closed his mouth.

Sima Yi walked back to the sand table, looked at the sand table, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Liu Chuang, "Cousin, there are eight hundred people with me." I will break the thief of Donglai. ”

Looking at Sima Yi, who was full of confidence, Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since Zhongda has such confidence, then I will entrust this matter to you...... Remember, I'm going to take care of the head. ”

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi bowed down to answer the order, and then said with a hippie smile: "Cousin, I still want to find you alone." ”

"You want Bohou to help you, don't you?"

"Hey......

Liu Chuang glanced at Du Ji and then at Sima Yi.

"This time I can ask Bohou to help you. But I won't let him go to the Yellow Pavilion.

Bohou is not an outsider, I might as well make it clear to you. Bohou, I have a lot of use. Huang Ge couldn't tolerate him...... What do I mean, you know? ”

Sima Yi was silent!

After a moment, he nodded and said softly, "I understand!" ”

Du Yi and Sima Yi had a good relationship, because Sima Yi helped him find a boat at the crossing of the Yellow River.

And Du Ji is the Jingzhao clan. And Sima Yi is a prominent family in Hanoi, and geographically, it is also easy to have a sense of closeness.

Zhuge Liang worships the general and has a lot of qualifications.

In this case, even if the power of the Yellow Pavilion is very great in the future, it will be difficult for Sima Yi to confront Zhuge Liang. In order to maintain balance. Liu Chuang is bound to find some helpers for Sima Yi. Then Du Ji is a very suitable candidate! He is good at war, good at military affairs, and can take charge of himself. There are such helpers. Only then can Huang Ge act more smoothly, and Sima Yi can balance Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chuang had already made arrangements, and as soon as Liaodong was captured, Du Yi would be stationed in Liaodong's vassal states......

"Let's go back!"

Liu Chuang looked at the sky, it was not early.

So he ordered. The Flying Bear returns.

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

The temperature in western Liaoning is getting lower and lower.

The first batch of wintering clothes sent by Su. Also in mid-September, it was sent to Linyu.

Liu Chuang ordered someone to put the clothes down, and then went to visit Lu Bu again, and saw that Cao and Mrs. Yan were in better health, and finally put their minds at ease.

In mid-September, the Lao Zhen battalion withdrew from the Han army camp in Louzishan to Linyu.

With the withdrawal of the old camp, Liu Chuang breathed a sigh of relief, and he was no longer as worried as before.

To be honest, when the battle in Louzishan was at its most intense, Liu Chuang was really worried. Because at that time, he had no troops in his hands, and once something happened, even if Liu Chuang was in charge, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no problems. Now, the old camp has withdrawn, and it has finally overcome a difficult time. But Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that the biggest difficulty had not yet been overcome, and he had to be more cautious.

The Yangle meeting is still going on.

However, Liu Chuang took advantage of the opportunity of the Yangle meeting to mobilize the Karasuma captives and complete the construction of the White Wolf Fort.

This is also the first city built by Liu Chuang in western Liaoning, although the area is not large, but it is like a nail, firmly nailed in western Liaoning.

This White Wolf Fort is actually a military town. Its main purpose, in addition to protecting the immigrants south of the White Wolf Castle, also undertakes the task of fighting against the White Wolf Xianbei. Every winter, the white wolf Xianbei will enter Liao for plunder. This is also the second hidden danger in the entire western Liaoning, in addition to Karasuma. Xianbei was a captive and plunderer, although he had always been very honest before this, but Liu Chuang couldn't help but be on guard.

"Uncle, who do you think should be stationed in White Wolf Castle?"

As Cao's health improved, Lu Bu's mood became much happier.

Liu Chuang came to visit and discussed things with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Meng Yan, this Liaoxi is your territory, who to appoint, you are in charge." ”

How do you know that Liu Chuang shook his head, "Zhangren, Liaoxi is not my Liaoxi, but you and I are all Liaoxi."

I know what you're worried about, but I believe you!

To keep it a secret, I will leave Liaoxi soon, and it will only be a month at most. After I left Liaoxi, I hoped that my father-in-law could take charge of me. When the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, it will be the time for me to return to western Liaoning. And before I return to Liaoxi, everything will be left to my father-in-law.

I can't believe others, but I can't believe them if I don't believe them? ”

In Lu Bu's life, what he lacks most is to be trusted.

started from Ding Yuan, and even to Dong Zhuo...... Don't look at Dong Zhuo's treatment of his father and son, but in fact, Lu Bu has never won Dong Zhuo's trust.

Dong Zhuo trusts those old ministers in Xiliang.

He trusts his family.

Wang Yun was later able to successfully use serial schemes to provoke trouble, precisely because he realized that the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu was not as close as the outside world imagined. Later, whether it is Yuan Shao or Liu Bei, who can really trust Lu Bu? There is naturally a problem with Lu Bu in this, but no one has ever given Lu Bu such unconditional trust as Liu Chuang, so how can he not be moved?

"Meng Yan is not afraid of my ......"

Without waiting for Lu Bu to finish speaking, Liu Chuang laughed.

"Father-in-law, of course I'm afraid.

But you are my father-in-law, I don't believe you, who can I believe?

If the father-in-law really wants Liaoxi, he will give it to the father-in-law...... No matter what others say, I always think in my heart that my husband is worth entrusting. ”

Lu Bu looked at Liu Chuang.

And Liu Chuang, his eyes are sincere......

After a long time, Lu Bu said softly: "If you talk about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, you are far the most familiar.

When he was in Bingzhou before, he often dealt with these Hu people...... As for the habits of the Xianbei people, I dare say that no one can control it.

If Meng Yan asks me, I can only recommend it far.

White Wolf Xianbei...... Since the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei has been torn apart, and the roots are not to be worried.

There is one person far away, who can defeat 100,000 Xianbei! ”

With Lu Bu's arrogant temperament, he admires a person so much, which shows Zhang Liao's superiority.

In fact, Liu Chuang also sees it that way.

He groaned for a moment and said softly, "Since this is the case, I will temporarily take the position of captain of the White Wolf."

After the Yangle meeting is over, I should retreat to the Liugu River, and General Hansheng will lead the Han army camp of the Liugu River, and then order Gong Liu to assist. However, I want to take Shulong and Xiaogong away, and once the war in Liaodong starts, I need them to train soldiers and horses for me. ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, "Good! ”

He changed his words and suddenly asked, "Meng Yan, but I don't know when you are going to enter Liao?" ”

"Daddy, it's snowing!"

Just as Liu Chuang was about to answer, he suddenly heard Lu Lan shouting loudly outside the house.

Liu Chuang and Lu Bu got up and walked out of the study, and saw that it was snowing heavily outside...... Lu Lan and Xun Dan accompanied Diao Chan and Cao Shi to enjoy the snow on the porch, screaming with joy.

Liu Chuang turned around and said softly: "Zhangren, I'm about to enter Liao!" ”
