When Shi Xun and Sima Yi were pondering whether they could win over Liu Yi, the new Lelang County Warden was galloping on horseback at the edge of the dense forest on the north bank of the river.

It was almost winter, the cold wind was blowing, most of the grass in the field was withered and yellow, and the forest was covered with thick fallen leaves. From riding to blowing horns and driving out a herd of red deer from the dense forest, all of them have round bellies and shiny fur to survive the coming bitter cold, but this also directly affects their reflexes and running speed.

Liu Yile stopped his mount and slowly raised the horn bow in his hand - the stirrup has been transmitted from the Central Plains to Liaodong, although the Liaodong cavalry has not yet been fully equipped, but with Liu Yi's respect, it is not difficult to match it for himself. It's just that he was born as a scribe after all, and he has no ability to ride and shoot, even if he has a stirrup to fix his body, he has to stand on the horse and shoot, if he really runs, his hands will definitely not dare to let go of the reins, let alone shoot arrows with a bow.

At that moment, he took out an iron tuft carved feather from the shackle, put on the bowstring of ox tendons, and tore it apart with the thumb of his right hand with a leather wrench like a half moon, aiming at a tall and panicked stag, and shot it with a fierce arrow. When the deer heard the sound of the strings, he was so startled that it sprung its hind legs and struck forward, so that the arrow grazed its tail and fell into the air.

Liu Yi was furious, drew an arrow, and shot it again, but was dodged by the red deer again - three arrows in succession, and even the deer hair failed to shoot down. Annoyed, he simply put away his bow, raised his hand and made a fierce move, and immediately galloped from his horse, including the stag he had targeted, and the other four red deer, all of whom fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

Liu Taishou sighed softly and put his bow into the sheath - forget it, he didn't have the courage to do it. It shouldn't be a whim. Run over and hunt. He was only thirty paces away from the stag. It's a standing shot again, and he misses three arrows in a row, if Xun sees it, he will definitely slap his hands and laugh - my force will also pass, Mr. Liu, you are the same age as Luo Funu, "Twenty is not enough, fifteen is more than enough", right?

Because it was Xun and Sima Yi who were pondering Liu Yi, and Liu Yi was also thinking about Xun. The information that Xiao Ji secretly transmitted to Youzhou. In fact, it is not true, Liu Yi can't be said to be completely excluded by Yangyi, so he was released from afar, if he didn't have this intention, even if Yangyi schemed, dumped, and slandered, he didn't want to drive Liu Zigang away from the center of Xiangping.

But it is precisely because of the secret quarrel with Yangyi that Liu Yi feels that if he stays in Xiangping any longer, there may be unforeseen disasters. He has already seen that Gongsun Du is dying of old age, and he has often been dizzy recently. I can't be a director, and I should be alive for a short time. Wait until Gongsun Du dies. His eldest son, Gongsun Kang, succeeded to the throne, once the son of heaven and a courtier, can the generations of Liu and Yang still have so much power and power in Liaodong? At this time of change, you don't want to join hands with me to get through the difficulties, but secretly fight each other, aren't you afraid that there will be no good end in the future?

Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er went out to live, in this case, I might as well take advantage of your mind and flash people earlier. Le Lang was initially decided, and he urgently needed to be guarded by heavy ministers, and Liu Yi took the opportunity to persuade Gongsun Du to let him be the keeper of Le Lang. If there is a change in the future, as long as he blocks the Hunshui (Qingchuan River) and searches for ships on the south bank, the Liaodong Army will not be able to enter Lelang by land, and it will be enough to be the king and hegemon behind closed doors. The only thing to worry about is that the Liaodong Army may also cross the sea to attack, so they have to hope that the imperial court will save them - this is the reason why Liu Yi suddenly remembered that it was Xunlai.

It is Hongfu who sees the history of the Youzhou Assassin, and his uncle is the Yi for the Dengzhou Assassin History, both of which are surrounded by the Bohai, if the two can send a naval army to rescue, they will be able to keep the Liaodong soldiers abroad. Although Lelang is only a border county, it is also a wide and thousands of miles, with 50,000 households, a little rectification, with more than 10,000 armor, the east can surpass the Daling alone to collect money, the south can deter the Han, and the north can compete with Goguryeo - in time, maybe it will be another Goguryeo. Speaking of which, wasn't the so-called Goguryeo also built by the remnants of the Jizi Joseon Dynasty?

- This was spread at the time, and Goguryeo's external propaganda may not be true.

Therefore, while Gongsun Du is not dead, Liu Yi must step up his expansion of his strength, and find a way to secretly communicate with the imperial court and get in touch with his uncle and nephew. He is really remorseful, if he could really behead the head of the clan in the past, the relationship between the two sides would have been well established a long time ago, is it necessary to wait until today to make a big headache?

While thinking about it, Liu Yi carried the dead deer back to the camp under the support of the servants. In the camp, there were already several foreigners in linen robes, leather boots, and scarves on their heads, and when they saw Liu Yi coming back, they bowed their heads and saluted. An elderly man with gray hair glanced at the red deer, and complimented him with a smile in stiff Chinese: "Lord Taishou is really a god shot." ”

Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at one of his subordinates. The subordinate official hurriedly took a step forward and explained in a low voice: "The so-called adults of the Hu people refer to Shangguanye. Liu Yi was relieved and couldn't help laughing: "I don't have children and nephews of this age. ”

In fact, the word "adult" is also used by the Central Plains people to address the chief, but it is very rare, and the situation is relatively special. Generally, the elders are addressed in person by "adult", especially the father or the father's junior, or a famous high-ranking official as an adult, a famous palace minister as an adult, and a person with noble character as an adult, it is mostly referred to in the third person. That's why Liu Yicai joked, this guy called me "adult" to my face, I'm not such an old junior.

These foreigners, all of whom were envoys from the southern Zhuhan, came to congratulate them because they heard that the Lelang County Guard had changed their candidates. Liu Yi was hospitable and promised that I would not fight you, but you would have to pay tribute to me. The envoys looked at each other and replied that according to the old law, the Han Dynasty was subordinate to Lelang, and we, Zhuhan, were subordinate to Daifang County, and it was okay to give you gifts and congratulate you on your assumption of office, but there was no obligation to pay you tribute at all.

Liu Yi was furious when he heard this, and said in his heart that Daifang County had long been abandoned, and you still held on to it, that is, you didn't want to contribute money and food at all, in order to contribute to my Chinese Celestial Empire, and you had a good wishful thinking! But he still doesn't have the strength to annex Zhuhan, and now the most important thing to be wary of is Liaodong and Goguryeo, not Zhuhan, so it's not good to tear his face in person. So he had a plan, so he invited these messengers to go out of the city to shoot and hunt, so as to show off his martial prowess to them.

It's just that this martial power is only the soldiers and horses brought from Liaodong - it really scared those barbarians stunned - and it does not refer to the ability of the "lord" to bow and horse himself. Liu Yi also knew the amount of energy he had, so when he was hunting, he asked these messengers to wait in the camp, so as not to miss the hunt and make a fool of himself in front of him.

Fortunately, it was almost winter, and there were many barren forests in the county, and there was no shortage of prey, so I went out for a short circle, and didn't I hunt several red deer back? will not go home empty-handed, thus losing face. At that moment, Liu Yi ordered people to skin and bloodlet, and roasted venison to entertain these messengers, thinking in his heart, should I make a statement to Gongsun Du, divide the seven counties to the south, and reset the belt county? Then don't these barbarians have nothing to say?

However, if the county guard is his own cronies, they will naturally be happy; If Gongsun Du or Yang Yi wanted to insert another piece of it and appoint a county guard who didn't deal with him very well, what should he do? Isn't it a cocoon to bind oneself and open the door to thieves?

At the moment, he frowned, put down his wine glass, and said to the envoys: "The imperial court also has the intention of recovering Fang County, but Lelang is not a big county, so it is really not appropriate to divide it again." I want to conquer the mountains alone, to serve them, and to spread their territory. Wen Hao also often intrudes on your realm, can you be willing to help soldiers and food, in response to me? "Will you help me go with me?

The messengers looked at each other. Among them, there were smart ones, and they hurriedly replied: "We have few small soldiers in the country, and although we are enough to garrison, it is really difficult to go on an expedition." Besides, if this is not something we can do, please allow me to return to the lord of the country and then sue Taishou. ”

Liu Yi was sullen when he heard this, and said in his heart that I want to take a corner from this, with all the wealth, it seems that the road ahead is really bumpy. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to simply wait for Gongsun Du to die, and then give Lelang County to the imperial court and change it to a prominent official in the Central Plains? But after all, he was used to being free in the borderland, and he really didn't want to go to the Central Plains to be constrained; Besides, the people of the Central Plains pay the most attention to their family background, and with their own background, even if they make the contribution of dedicating land, I am afraid it will be difficult to make any more progress. If it is the queen of the ox, why not the head of the chicken?

After being depressed for a long time, the delicate and fragrant venison felt bland and tasteless in my mouth. Liu Yi simply stood up and said I'll go hunting again, and then let's go back to Joseon City.

Got on the horse, took the ride on the grassland, the edge of the dense forest, walked a journey, but found nothing except a few pheasants, and the mood fell to the bottom. was about to return to the city, when suddenly a glance out of the corner of his eye saw a new grave on the edge of the forest, with a stone monument erected. Liu Yi's eyes are very good, and he can see the words on the tablet clearly from a long distance-

"The tomb of the first Kao clan."

Shi Yi? Isn't that the deceased father of the clan? Yes, I once heard the old man say that his family originally lived in North Korea, in the north of the water, maybe this neighborhood was originally the family's land. Personnel changes, the former wealthy family, but now it is full of desolation, doesn't it make people sigh when they think about it?

But then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind - Shixun had said in the past that in order to avoid disaster, he hurriedly escaped to Goguryeo that day, and had to bury his father hastily, and even failed to erect a monument; Therefore, the guy often cried and begged to let him return to Lelang temporarily and rebury his father. But now that I see this tomb again, not only has a tablet been erected and engraved with words, but there are no weeds on the tomb, and the floating soil is still wet...... I've been back recently!

Do you think he escaped to Goguryeo again, but it turns out that he is in Lelang? God help me!

Immediately summoned a member of his cronies and asked him, "Do you remember someone?" The family was vague: "The lord said that someone is ......" Liu Yi raised his whip and pointed at the new grave, the family's eyes were not as good as his, and they hurriedly rode over to take a look, and then returned to report: "The villain remembers." Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Draw shadow graphics, check strictly in each city and pass, no matter life or death, I will want to get this person!" (To be continued......)

PS: It's the end of the month, who still has a free monthly pass on hand, and I'll vote for a few more, if what?
