Cheng Liu clapped his hands, it seemed to coincide with history, so in this way, it seems that the process of historical deduction can be slowed down.

As long as he can delay the time and does not take the lead in starting the war, the course of history will continue as usual, and what he has to do is to change history little by little, continue to recruit generals and strategists from all roads, expand soldiers and horses, and so on.

After the two finished speaking, as soon as they saw that it was not early, Cheng Liu asked him to go back to his room to rest first, while he just leaned against the window and thought about every move he would take next.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road outside the post station, Cheng Liu raised his eyes, although it was dark, but he knew that it was Gan Ning's light cavalry that had arrived.

opened the door and happened to see Zhao Yun also just walked out of the house, and the two immediately went downstairs together.

Gan Ning was dusty, it seemed that he hadn't taken a bath for a few days, and his body also smelled of sweat.

"This is the former commander of the Shicheng Infantry Army, the division of the cavalry, and the general who also followed me to the north, Gan Ning."

Only then did Gan Ning notice the white-clothed young man standing next to Cheng Liu, and asked with some curiosity: "Lord, is this a newly recruited righteous man from Jizhou?" ”

Cheng Liu immediately glanced at him, and Gan Ning immediately changed his words: "Oops, my brain is a little confused after being in the carriage for a long time, I should be called Childe, hehe." ”

Zhao Yun stepped forward at this time and patted Gan Ning's shoulder and shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, the prince said before, let me follow you in the future!" ”

Gan Ning cast a puzzled look, and it wasn't until Cheng Liu nodded that he came to his senses, and he had just accepted an apprentice?

But then he understood, looking at his relationship with Cheng Liu, if he accepted him as an apprentice, he was afraid that he would mess up his generation, so he took the initiative to accept him as his younger brother, and the two discussed that after returning to Jianye, they would marry each other.

"Okay, Zilong, you go back to the room first, I have something to say to him."

Zhao Yun nodded slightly and went straight upstairs.

"Brother Zhao is Xuanang, he has the style of a general, congratulations to the son, and he has recruited another fierce general."

Cheng Liu almost held back his laughter, if he saw Zhao Yun's fight at the bridge that night, I am afraid that this idea would be broken on the spot.

"Let's talk about Xiliang."

Getting back to business, both of them put away their smiles.

"Han Sui and the others have been defeated by us, and only Zhang Jiao's cronies and faction are still on the run, but as soon as the back road of Xiliang is broken, Zhang Jiao can only be besieged in Julu, and he should have received the news at this moment."

Cheng Liu wasn't worried about this, and he knew that maybe it wasn't a bad thing.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter, what did Luan Tangshan say before leaving?"

"He said that now all parts of the country are supporting troops and respecting themselves, and the powerful warlords are expanding their power, and he can't take Liangzhou in the current situation, and it is difficult for Jincheng to recruit righteous people, but if the prince goes to Xiliang in the future, he will help with the army."

With this sentence, he has already expressed his determination, and Cheng Liu finally relaxed.

Luan Tangshan is unknown in history, although for some reason, but this person was always feminine and unbelievable before, and now it seems that he may not be able to judge people by his appearance.

"Okay, you eat something first, and then rest early, preferably in a hot bath."

Gan Ning lifted his armor and robe and sniffed it, and immediately squinted his eyes and replied: "I really should take a bath, I can't do it, I'm in a hurry, and I ride lightly, the inn is not easy to live, I can only go all the way, no, the smell is indeed a little heavy......"

Cheng Liu smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to walk upstairs.

But around the corner, he still deliberately stopped and said, "With Wei Yan in charge here, you can rest and don't have to work." ”

Gan Ning was originally sitting on a chair, and immediately stood up when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any good words, and he didn't think of a word until Cheng Liu entered the corner.

muttered: "I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses and always follow the lord......"

……

Located in the remote outer town of Julu County, the news of Cheng Liu's recruitment of righteous people in Changshan spread far and wide, and the nearest Yuan family did not make any noise, but there was a commotion in a remote courtyard in the town.

Zhang Jiao, who was once beautiful, did not have any of his former glory at the moment, and sat in a place in the courtyard with his hair scattered, leaning against the door post, his eyes were empty.

The person kneeling in front of him was a Taiping Dao believer he had promoted all the way, and after handing over a secret letter in his hand to Zhang Jiao, he planned to retire first, but he never thought that Zhang Jiao would suddenly speak.

"This Cheng Liu is the Danyang county guard who had a conversation with Ma Yuanyi and sent him to the tiger's mouth, right?"

"Yes."

"It's not enough to steal tens of thousands of my soldiers and horses, but you also have to come to my territory to recruit righteous soldiers, it's really ...... The afterlife is terrifying! ”

The henchman didn't know how to respond, trembling all over, and could only bury his head lower.

"The future life is terrible and I am declining, haha, will he take this opportunity to kill me?"

"I sent spies to follow the whereabouts before, but I didn't report it, I don't know if I came to the giant deer......"

Zhang Jiao was furious, and after getting up, he threw out the chair he was sitting on.

"It's all rice buckets! When the army first started, he warned them that they must not lose the support of the people, which is the foundation of our army's public opinion! But they are good, not only lose the hearts of the people, but also lose my world! ”

The henchmen did not dare to move, and the trembling became more intense.

"Well, you step back first, I want to be alone and quiet."

The kneeling man staggered to his feet, and trotted out all the way.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Jiao just smiled self-deprecatingly.

Once upon a time, his soldiers and horses were strong, to a place to go down to the state, all the way to the Beijing Division, the young emperor above the court was panicked all day long, and the Empress Dowager He, who listened to the government, mobilized He Jin soldiers and horses overnight to garrison the various passes of the Beijing Division, and the joint forbidden army guarded the palace gate and did not dare to act rashly.

When he was most high-spirited, his 300,000 soldiers and horses occupied each prefecture and county, which was more than enough even in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Beijing division, but now, ......

Zhang Jiao straightened his waist and looked at the pear blossom tree in front of the hall, only dry branches remained, and there was no sign of germination even if winter turned to spring.

"Is it really a situation where the oil runs out and the lamp runs out?"

He walked slowly, and at last he reached the pear tree, and when he reached out and plucked a branch, he put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then threw it on the ground.

There was a sudden commotion outside the door, and he straightened his waist again, and walked towards the front door.

Before I got to the door, I saw a group of people breaking through the gate, and none of the eagle dogs that I had kept for many days made a sound, and I don't know if they were in the house or had already died outside the door.

But at this moment, he didn't panic at all, he just sat on the ground and looked at the person in front of him.

"You are Cheng Liu?"

The blood on Cheng Liudao's knife had not yet been wiped dry, and it fell to the ground ticking.

Close to Zhang Jiao, the blood splattered on the hem of his trousers.
