In order to prevent the invasion of Shixun's troops, Liu Yi took up all the military horses in the county, and borrowed troops from Sanhan, and finally pieced together 7,000 of them, and drove to Zengdi County south of Hunshui one after another. He knew that there were no less than 20,000 soldiers in Youzhou under the Xunsuo Department, and if he coerced the surrender army in Liaodong, it would reach 40,000, and his 7,000 people would face the enemy head-on, which was not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth. Fortunately, Liu Zigang had the intention of self-reliance, and he entered the waves, that is, he built a dock fort on the south bank of the water to strictly guard against it. If Xun wants to cross the river in front of many dock forts, it is still quite difficult.

Of course, Liu Yi can only block the downstream of the muddy water, and Hongfu can also take the territory of Goguryeo and cross from the upper reaches of the muddy water. But after crossing the river, there is the endless Wolf Forest Mountains, the road is dangerous and sparsely populated, the grain is difficult to transport, and it is even more difficult to take it on the spot.

Even Liu Yi himself temporarily left the county to govern North Korea and went north? Hand, be ready for battle. At the same time, he also sent people to Xiangping and Xu Du to send letters - the envoy to Xiangping naturally went to see Shixun, repeatedly declared that he had no treacherous intentions, and asked Shixun not to act rashly; The envoy who went to Xu Capital naturally urged the imperial court to issue an official document and allow it to calm down for a long time.

I waited so anxiously until mid-April, and finally a spy hidden in Xiangping City desperately returned to report - Shi Xun had already led the army out of the city and went straight to the south to come to Hunshui.

Liu Yi was stunned, and said in his heart that I have no old hatred and new grudges with Shixun, why can't he let himself go? Could it be that the day before yesterday, he hinted that he Zhenshi Xun was not dead, and he wanted to make friends, but it backfired, making him hate himself? It wouldn't be much if I knew......

Soldiers are coming. Water to Tutun. So it was. There is only one way to go. Thinking that the Youzhou army has left its homeland for a long time and drowned in Liaodong, there may not be many enterprising sharpness, the Liaodong soldiers are newly attached, their hearts are unstable, and they are tired and suspicious, no matter how many they are, what is there to fear? Since you are bent on going your own way. Alright then, let's meet on the battlefield and compete!

The front Tanma Festival also reported that Cao's army had passed Xi'an Ping and entered Fanhan County. So Liu Yi left? Hand, personally went to Zengdi to inspect the defense line, boost morale, and at the same time continue to send people to the army of Shixun to show peace. It's a pity that all the messengers went to the sea, and none of them returned.

However, Cao Jun entered Fan Khan himself. He stopped and only sent some teams to the north bank of the river to investigate the hydrological conditions. It's just a show of power. Liu Zigang is not a stupid person, and he has not seen any signs of Cao Bing crossing the river for many days, and he can't help but wonder in his heart - is this a plan to attack the east and the west?

Either you don't come, since you come, of course you have to cross the muddy water to attack my Lelang. Otherwise, what are you doing here? Traveling? It's not an ordinary free trip, the army moves, it costs a lot of money, if there is no benefit to be desired, who wants to do this? Coming but not attacking, it seems that it is just a suspicious soldier, to cover the main force to cross from it - is it that Hongfu really disregards the taboo of the soldiers and wants to wade from the upper reaches of the muddy water?

Just wondering about himself, suddenly a fast horse came to report: "Dozens of big ships, carrying countless soldiers, have entered the water, and have landed from Nanpu!" ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he was shocked, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "I see! "It's Hongsuke, who really deserves to be called Hongsuke, and it's not surprising that he attacked me from the sea, but when the letter came before, he wanted to compose a poem "The Sun of Zhumahu", which made me ignore the sea and focus on the land route - what a good plan!

This is actually a hint and misleading, if there was no poem, Liu Yi might have thought it more thoroughly, but as soon as this poem came out, he instinctively thought that Shixun only considered attacking by land, and invisibly ignored the crisis at sea.

After being surprised, Liu Yi was not angry - his wisdom is not as good as that of others, but he is confused, what can his husband say? Besides, he transferred all the main forces to the south bank of the Hunshui River, the North Korean garrison is very weak, the main force of Shixun landed from Nampo, and it will arrive in North Korea in a few days. What's the benefit of complaining?

I don't know if the chief general of the Cao army, who is facing the water, is Hongsuke. So Liu Yi immediately dismissed his soldiers and horses, dressed in white, with only a boy, and came to the north shore in a small boat. When I approached the north bank, I saw a horse standing proudly, and the person on the horse was wearing a crown and a broad belt, smiling, and beckoning from afar: "I have been staying for a long time, why is it too late for Zigang?" ”

Liu Yi hurriedly got off the boat, rushed forward, and bowed down: "Liu Yi, the criminal minister, meet the envoy." ”

Shi Xun jumped off the horse and supported him with both hands: "Why should Zigang be like this." You and I are the same, this time we meet each other, not for personal grudges, but for justice, we have to be. If I want to harm Zigang and be in the boat, why should I treat each other here? ”

If I really want to clean you up, I will directly take a sea boat to land in Nanpu and take the entire Lelang County in one fell swoop, why should I lead the army and wait on the north bank of Hunshui to wait for you to surrender? Believe me, I have no ill will towards you.

Liu Yixin said that it would be strange if you had no malice. However, under the low eaves, he naturally didn't dare to refute, and slowly got up under the support of Shi Xun, but his waist was still bowed, and he arched his hand and said, "But it's just to live." ”

Shi Xun waved his hand: "I want to play the court, but I still make Zigang the guard of the waves, how about it?" ”

Liu Yi almost didn't believe his ears: "That is the case, why should the envoy ......" I have already expressed my deference to the imperial court, since you still want me to guard Lelang, then why do you need to lead the soldiers to kill it?" This doesn't take off your pants and fart - is it redundant?

Shi Xun shook his head and sighed: "What's more, Zigang doesn't understand." Le Lang is not restrained, and Zigang surrendered himself, and he wants to be in town for a long time, how can the court not doubt it? Or do you have no intention of going east today, waiting for the world to be decided, and An Rongzi has just been cut off? If I take first and then give, then the court will undoubtedly carry on. "I will take your Lelang County first, and then recommend you to the imperial court to serve as the taishou, then you are a local official appointed by the official imperial court, and you are directly controlled by the imperial court, so you will naturally avoid future troubles.

"Besides," without waiting for Liu Yi to react, Shi Xun continued, "Zi Gang wants to be in the middle of nowhere forever and live in peace for the rest of his life?" Today, only the mountains can be harvested, the south can serve the three Koreas and the north can be Vaguryeo, and the four counties of Emperor Wu can be restored, opening up the territory for the Han Dynasty, and they can be famous for hanging bamboo silk. If you don't do this, you are born in the world; And if this is the case, how can the imperial court allow a long time? "Don't you have any ideas for the future? You just want to waste your whole life in this small Lelang County? If you really want to think so, then I feel sorry for you. And if you still have the desire to expand your territory, once your power grows, how can the imperial court not worry? You still want to be too guarded by Lelang for the rest of your life, is that possible?

"For the sake of the son, and the town of Lelang, enough food and strong soldiers, after expanding the land, you can enter the capital to meet, receive the reward of the marquis, and live a life that is not wasted." Is it to be the king of grass in the border land for the rest of his life, or to become a hero and prince of the Han Dynasty, and return to the Central Plains to enjoy the blessings of Qingfu when he is old? Think about it.

When Liu Yi heard this, he finally woke up, and immediately bowed down again: "Yi Xiang despises the grass, and the plan is not far away, if it is not for the king, there will be no luck in the other day." I want to serve the dogs and horses for the sake of the king! ”

In this way, Shixun took Lelang County almost bloodlessly, and then took Liu Yi's hand, and the two crossed the river and went south to North Korea. Walking to the north bank of Lieshui, Shi Xun suddenly asked: "I have been away from my hometown for a long time, the mountains and rivers have changed, and I no longer know the tombs of my ancestors. Liu Yixin said - he has been thinking about it for the past two days, although Shi Xun's plan for his future is very reasonable, but he only says three points when he meets people, and he can't take it lightly, and it is better to say less about Zhen Shixun. Therefore, according to what was written in the letter of that day, he only thought that he had occasionally bumped into Shiyi's grave, and immediately led Shixun there.

When Shi Xun saw the tombstone that read "The Tomb of the First Kao Family", his face changed instantly. Originally, Xun only thought that someone had collected and buried the bodies of Shiyi's father and son, and planned to take the opportunity to destroy Zhen's tomb to avoid future troubles, but unexpectedly, that guy is still alive in the world?!

Fortunately, Xun has been an official for many years, and he has long been able to practice his joy and anger, although he was shocked and surprised, but the change in his complexion was only a moment, and he soon recovered. He turned his head to glance at Liu Yi, smiled and asked, "Qing Nai knows everything?" ”

Liu Yi couldn't help but beat wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be casual, and arched his hand: "What do you mean?" ”

It's Hoon who secretly sneered - the play has been done, fool! Liu Yi has been guarding Lelang for a day or two, since he has found the grave of his "father" or a newly erected monument, then who buried it and who erected it, it is impossible not to investigate it at all. His plan of "Li Dai Taozhuang" back then, in fact, if you really want to dig deeper, you will be able to find countless flaws, but it is just that Lelang is located overseas, and no one can verify it. You're in Lelang, it's impossible to find nothing, right?

If you find even the slightest clue, you don't have to doubt my true identity, and you'll be frightened to hear me suddenly ask such a strange question. Now that Lelang County is under my control, if I want to kill you, Raul, who raises his hand, under this kind of psychological pressure, he will be suspicious and suspicious, how can he still be so calm? I know that you have something in your heart, and you are afraid that I will see it, so you just keep silent.

However, Shixun didn't ask too much, just know it. Ever since he received Liu Yi's letter, he has been worrying and thinking about this question - what should he do if his true identity is discovered by others? Although when you actually see the tombstone, you know that the crisis you have to face is more serious than what you fear, but in terms of the result, isn't it the same?

What are you afraid of? Afraid of losing your official position? That's very unlikely; Are you afraid of losing your prestige in the Confucian forest? Entering the government with literature and entering the government with Confucianism is originally only a means rather than an end, if the means are regarded as the end, it is completely lost! Since you come to this world, it is naturally important to end up happy, but if you want to achieve this goal, what is more important is not to assist Cao Cao to do his best to calm down the troubled times? As long as troubled times are settled, is fame and the like really that important?

Whether the Zhen clan is still alive, or there are still others in the clan, I want to see if they dare to come out of the shadows and come directly to me!
