Shi Jun stayed in Korea for seven days, delivered all kinds of goods he carried, and exchanged them for 200 sandalwood bows—less than 20% of the value of the shipments, and the remaining 80%, even if it was the cost of building a bow-making workshop—and agreed with Liu Yi on a long-term trade plan, and then returned to the seashore and set sail west.

Here, Liu Yi sent people to Haoqian to import sandalwood on a large scale, and he was also considering whether to simply send troops to attack Haoqian in order to obtain more resources, not to mention it for the time being. Let's say that Jun Cai boarded the ship, and saw a person dressed in short clothes and a scarf on his head, dressed like a Goguryeo, and was leaving gloomily, leaving only a back for himself, and couldn't help but call the owner of the ship to ask: "Who is this?" ”

The owner of the ship replied respectfully: "This person claims to be named Ah Fei, and wants to go to Dengzhou with the ship." Although Wuyun came from Dengzhou, he returned to Youzhou directly, and he resigned. Yes Jun said "oh", and he didn't care.

However, sailing on the sea, it is naturally impossible to always have smooth sails, Shi Jun encountered a head wind on the way back, for fear of being blown to Liaodong, simply changed the voyage, returned to Dengzhou, and then followed the coastline to the north. The owner of the ship couldn't help but nag, saying that he knew this was the case, so he took that Yiren Ah Fei with him, and he was willing to pay three times for the ship's fare, which was not a small amount.

Yes Jun is Jian'an ten years of November out of the sea, originally wanted to return to Youzhou for the New Year, so delayed, until February of the following year, finally belatedly returned to Jicheng. Immediately, he put on a bunch of clothes, came to see Shixun to restore his life, and presented a wooden box that Liu Yi entrusted him to hand over to Shixun.

Shi Xun listened to the results of the report and took the wooden box. I saw that this box was made of sandalwood, and it was half a foot wide and thick, and one foot long. The carving is quite exquisite. The box is not locked. But it was sealed with silk strips. Paint and print, made quite solemn. Is it Xun Xin who said that this is a gift, or is it a letter, is it necessary to keep it so secret?

So he took a paper cutter on the case, picked up the mud and paint, cut the silk strip, and lifted the lid to see. but he saw a pair of white bi in it; Take out the white bi, and below is two eridium gold; Take out the gold. There is also a version at the bottom. For the guard of a county, this little gift is a little chilling, but Xun Nai smiled slightly, and rewarded Shi Jun with all the bi and gold.

It was Jun Huanxi who took it, and then continued to tell the story of Lelang's trip - of course, the late night conversation with the old servant did not reveal the slightest. It was Xun who was single-minded, and while listening to him, he opened his eyes to see that there were just some clichés on it. Greetings to life, nostalgic for the old days. A little bit of the scenery of the waves, and expressed the hope for peaceful coexistence and the willingness to communicate with each other.

However, between the turns, a sentence suddenly came into view: "Occasionally, I saw the tomb of Jun Xianweng, the monument is new and there is no grass, there should be a sprinkling sweeper in the near future, and Yi will also take care of it, so as not to make it dusty." Shixun couldn't help but have his eyelids jump, and his complexion changed slightly.

Shi Jun has been paying attention to Shi Xun's expression-he has to know whether Seventh Brother is satisfied with his results or not-although it is a subtle move, he has already put it in his eyes, so he paused and asked: "Brother seems to be discouraged, but Liu Yi does not believe in Chinese, is there an offense?" "Is there anything in this letter that is inappropriate and offends you?

Shi Xun shook his head slightly, threw the plate back into the box, closed the lid, instinctively covered it with his hands, but said in his mouth: "It's been a lot of things lately, and I'm just mentally exhausted...... Zigaoke continued. It wasn't until Shi Jun finished describing the experience, it was Xun Jiamian who said a few words, and Jun bowed down and exited the door, that he finally twisted his eyebrows, and there was a fierce flame in his eyes......

He warned the servant that he should sleep for a while, and no one should disturb him. Then he took out Liu Yi's letter from the box and read that sentence three times in a row, and couldn't help but wander around the room, heartily worried.

He originally thought that Shi Yi and Shi Xun's father and son were dead, and their families were scattered, and the bodies of those two were hastily buried by Zhang Qi in a random place, and there was no trace of them in the world again. However, Liu Yi said in the letter that Shiyi's grave was found, and "the monument is new and there is no grass", and it is obvious that someone has recently sprinkled and worshipped - what is going on? Was it buried by the elders in the township? Or is it the work of the remnants of domestic servants and slaves?

Shi Yi lost his wife in middle age, and accepted three concubines, according to reason, these three concubines are signed temporary contracts, just like contract workers, if they give birth to children, they can stay in the family often, if there is nothing during the contract period, then they go back to their respective homes. In this case, there is no reason to have any attachment to the clan that offended Taishou, let alone those slaves? Or is it that there are loyal people among them, who took the risk to bury Shi Yi that day, and waited until Zhang Qi died, or waited until Lelang changed hands and felt that there was no danger, so he rebuilt the tomb, erected a new monument, and sprinkled and worshipped every year?

So since Shi Yi has a grave, Shi Xun has nothing to do?!

Liu Yi was afraid that the news would be leaked to a third party, so he didn't dare to say it bluntly in the letter, but only vaguely mentioned it, which caused Shixun's misunderstanding. Yes Xun never imagined that Zhen Shixun did not die, and recently ventured back to Lelang to rebury his father - in fact, Shixun did not expect that Liaodong would send troops to take Lelang, if he knew, and knew in advance that the main general was Liu Yi, it is estimated that he would not dare to return after killing his head - but he was worried that there were still people who were familiar with the Xun, although after more than ten years, there was also a hidden intention of redressing the grievances of the clan.

So, how much does Liu Yi know about it? Did he see Shihoon's grave? Did he think of himself? Perhaps, the person who erected the monument and repaired the tomb has fallen into the hands of Liu Yi? What is Liu Zigang implying when he mentions this matter in the letter? Is he trying to blackmail me?

I don't want this person to be so hateful!

After being born for so many years, Shixun almost forgot his true origin, so he stayed in Youzhou, and had the intention of wanting to go to Liaodong and Lelang. If he still took this matter firmly to heart, maybe he would advise Cao Cao not to advance eastward, and the wild places of Liaodong and Lelang would be forever isolated from Wanghua, so as to save other complications. It wasn't until Liu Yi woke up that he couldn't help but be shocked, but there was no way, there was nowhere to touch the regret medicine.

For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to continue to personally lead the eastward expansion, not to allow others to interfere, first map Liaodong, then take Lelang, kill Liu Yi, and then eradicate all the clues that may remain!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if these things are really revealed, the damage to Xun is not necessarily great. After all, it is now the family that depends on him. Rather than his attachment to home; He was able to rise to the top. Mainly by their own ability. secondly, relying on the nepotism with Cao Cao, although this nepotism was originally concluded because it was a family, but now it has little to do with being a family.

However, Hongfu is not an ordinary bureaucrat, he is still a scholar and a Confucian, even if the truth is only a rumor, and there are not many people who believe it, it is enough to damage his reputation. In these years, the scholar's greatest reputation—he was not a shameless warlord—was in tatters. Even if you want to stay in the world for a long time, let alone continue to climb......

No, we must do our best to solve this matter! Shi Xun gritted his teeth fiercely, immediately picked up Liu Yi's letter, scratched it beyond recognition and the handwriting with three or five strokes with a knife, and then threw it into the brazier, burning it black. He couldn't stop praying in his heart, praying that Gongsun Du would hurry up and hang up, I would wave my teacher eastward - it should be this year, I don't know that the old man died in the spring. Or is it winter?

I don't know if his prayers really worked, or if the thief finally got his wish once in a while. Only half a month later, a secret letter came from Xiao Ji, saying that Gongsun Du was dead!

Shi Xun hurriedly summoned the ministers and discussed with Sima Yi, preparing to send troops to attack Liaodong according to the original plan. Zhuge Jin was in charge of civil affairs and stood up to express his dissent, saying that it was just when spring plowing and farming were busy, not when soldiers were being used. Yes Xun said that he couldn't care about it so much, such a great opportunity, he must not miss it, otherwise, if Gongsun Kang has a firm foothold, the imperial court will not want to recover the homeland of the Northeast in at least ten years.

Sima Yi was always suspicious of Xiao Ji, so he proposed to send people to Liaodong, and it was not too late to send troops when the news was confirmed—so as not to fall into the trap of traitors. Yes Xun said that if we wait for the exact news, as soon as we come and go, I am afraid it will be summer, summer and autumn rain, the coastal areas are muddy and difficult to walk, and it may even be like the previous two years, completely flooded, our north road has not been built, if the south road is no longer feasible, all the plans will be in vain. No, we can't wait, we have to do it now!

It was rare for Shixun to be stubborn for himself, and no one's opinion could be listened to, and everyone was surprised. However, the honest man is powerful, the shock is even more powerful, and seeing that there is no disobedience, everyone has to bow down and obey, according to their duties, and go down to prepare.

He summoned soldiers and horses from neighboring counties to meet with him, and in the forbidden department, about 14,000 people, in addition to temporarily recruiting 5,000 Karasuma horsemen. That is, Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin were left behind, he was a general, Yu Ban was the vanguard, Zhuge Liang and Yan Rou were the staff officers, Guo Huai, Qin Yi, and Sun Wen were the generals of the Chinese army. Because he had already greeted Cao Cao in advance, and also obtained Cao Cao's approval, if there was a change in Liaodong, he could not be on standby and march first, so he just hurriedly sent a letter to Cao Cao to inform him of the dispatch of troops, and it is estimated that the messenger has not yet run to Xudu, and the army will be assembled in the subject country of Youbeiping, and then drive east along the coastline.

As for the excuse, it is also easy to find, first make Karasuma several troops go east, that is, in the name of chasing and suppressing the rebel Hu, openly invade the territory of Pingzhou.

In terms of the sea route, Shi Xun hurriedly transferred back seven merchant ships, which were actually soldiers, equipped with knives, spears, bows, and gunpowder, and also asked Zhuge Liang to supervise and temporarily place a few platoon poles as quickly as possible, that is, to follow the side of the army and respond at any time. Shixun is not afraid of the so-called "water army" in Liaodong at all, but he is afraid that they will load soldiers on big ships and sneak attack their own back roads.

Before leaving, Dian Wei suddenly came over and said Hongsuke, you are going to war, why don't you take me with you? Is Xun Xin saying that you are all so virtuous, do you still want to go into battle? But he couldn't say it directly, so as not to stimulate the Dianguo Domain, so he had to say casually perfunctory: "I'm afraid of the Lao Guo Domain." ”

Dian Wei knew that he was half a burden, and immediately smiled: "Although I can't ride a horse, I can also ride a car." When fighting in battle, it is naturally powerless, but it is difficult to supervise the grain and straw for the affairs of the scribes? "When I hear about the war, my heart is itchy, you can prevent me from going into battle, but you can't stop me from following. Yeshun said okay, then you will follow the rear team and assist Shijun in managing the logistics and transportation.

Let's say that the messenger will hurry up, arrive in Xudu, and play Cao Cao. Cao Cao was shocked when he saw the report: "When this farming is busy, I am afraid that the pawn is tired, how can I fight?!" "The new recruits who are newly trained in the forbidden are of course full-time or semi-full-time, and they can fight at any time, and most of the soldiers in each county are still serving farmers, and the auxiliary soldiers and laborers who are twice as large as the regular soldiers are also concerned about the countryside, in this state of mind, how can they win the battle in the face of the Liaodong Gongsun clan, whose strength is not inferior to their own?

"Why is Hongsuke so anxious that he dares to go against the sky and go out from time to time?!" (To be continued......)
