Yangquan Wei family.

The head of the Wei family, the Wei family, was sitting in his study.

The people of Yangquan know that the head of the Wei family is illiterate, and he doesn't like to read the most in his life.

But after ascending to the position of head of the family, the first thing he did was to make a study for his family.

At that time, Yangquan City was a joke for a while.

At this time, the Wei family was gloomy, without the slightest hint of honesty and recklessness in the county government.

When he won the position of the head of the family from among the brothers, and managed the Wei family for many years, how could he be as simple as he seemed on the surface.

"The head of the family, but something happened in the county office?" Wei Zhong, an old servant who had followed him for many years and had won his trust, asked.

After returning from the county government, the head of the family was a little unkind, his face was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

With such a look, he hadn't seen the head of the family in front of him for many years.

The last time was many years ago when he was fighting with his brother for the position of head of the family.

The next day, they died.

The Wei family brought the affairs of the county government with this person.

He said gloomily: "Uncle Zhong, what do you think our Wei family should do?" But if you want to do what he Han Yue said, or ...... Looking for another way out?"

The old servant Wei Zhong was silent for a moment and said, "Such a big matter is naturally decided by the head of the family, how can the old servant dare to speak?"

"Uncle Zhong has watched me grow up since I was a child, and Uncle Zhong knows the affairs of the Wei family better than me. Just say it, I can't make up my mind now. ”

Wei Zhong is the son of the Wei family. As the Wei family said, he did see the Wei family grow up with his own eyes, so he knew the Wei family's heart better.

The Wei family said that they couldn't make up their minds, but in fact, they had already made up their minds in their hearts.

"The servant thinks that Han Yue's words can be heard halfway." Wei Zhong pondered for a moment and said.

"Now that Lu Gong's disciples are high in the county government, Zhao County is the only one who is the first to look forward, and Wu County Lieutenant has always been the grass on the wall, we should really have a good relationship with this person. But don't put all your trust in this person. ”

The Wei family slapped his thigh heavily and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong really knows my intentions, but other than that, what other way do we go?"

"From the servant's point of view, we might as well secretly send someone out of the city with some gifts, if the southern barbarians really come to the city, let this person give gifts, and make friends and take refuge. At that time, even if the city is broken, our Wei family will be saved. Wei Zhong said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhong's idea is not bad." The Wei family said with a smile, "At that time, we can also lead the water to the east and take the opportunity to get rid of the Han and Li families." At that time, Yangquan County was not the only one of my Wei family?"

Wei Zhong hurriedly echoed, "The head of the family is wise, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"It's just that if you want to do this, you still need a confidant." The Wei family raised their heads and stared into Wei Zhong's eyes, "Uncle Zhong, who can do this?"

Wei Zhong sighed in his heart and said in a deep voice, "The servant is willing to do this for the head of the family."

The Wei family has a cold heart, and even his biological brother was never let go.

Now I asked him, but I just wanted him to bring it up.

The Wei family smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong is going with peace of mind, I know that you have two sons in your family, after Uncle Zhong goes, I will take care of them, and I will definitely be able to live a long life and live a long life."

"The head of the Xie family is benevolent." Wei Zhong bent down and saluted.

It's just that on the face that is covered by his sleeves, there is a bit of cold murderous intent in his eyes.

…………

Li family, Li An stood alone in the backyard, and there were many green bamboos planted in the courtyard, which was lush and verdant.

He raised his hand and touched the knot of the bamboo on it.

The bamboo has knots, and the sharp blade cannot be destroyed, so the scholars are high.

Among the three, the Han family is the strongest, followed by the Li family.

If his Japanese and Han families fall, his Li family will go further, and it will always be easier than the Wei family.

The three families have been fighting for a hundred years, how can he not want to suppress the other two.

It's just that he pressed the bamboo hand harder and harder.

At the beginning, Han Yue proposed a strategy of waiting to surrender, but he was actually unwilling to respond.

It's just a matter of importance, and the three families are in the same breath. He is the only family, and he really can't be the master.

Now it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his wish.

But he also knew that the Han and Li families might not be as agreed, and they would not have to do something in secret.

It is like secretly sending people out of the city, making an alliance with the southern barbarians, and betraying friends for glory.

It's not that he is so smart that he can guess the intentions of others at once, but that there are too many such things in this world.

So, what should he do?

He is different from the Wei family, he only likes to be independent in his heart.

After a long time, Li An let go of his right hand, which was a little pale because he was holding Cuizhu too hard.

"Come on, order the guards at home, leave a few people, and the others will go to the county government to listen to Liu Jun and Zhao Jun's orders. If someone dies defending the city, his family will take care of my Li family. Li An commanded loudly.

Someone behind him answered the order.

Li An turned around and sat down on the stone bench beside him.

The head of the Li family, who has always been known for his insidious cunning in Yangquan City, is still gloomy at this time, but he is a little more free and relieved.

At the beginning, he should go to Han Yue, but he didn't defend it, it was for the Li family.

It's just that now he doesn't know what he did this time, but what he wants to do in his heart.

Li An raised his head slightly, he was a member of the Han family after all.

…………

Han family, ancestral hall.

Han Yue was standing under the porch with his hands in his hands, looking up at the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and a long table inside was filled with spiritual seats.

The rich clan and the wealthy family are naturally not like this from the beginning.

At the beginning, he was just an ordinary leader.

It is only when generation after generation takes advantage of the situation, all parties bet, the bones pave the way, and the sacrifices of the predecessors will have the descendants to enjoy the success.

Han Yue suddenly remembered a sentence that had been circulated in the market at the beginning, and smiled.

The son of poverty, who has studied hard for more than ten years, is still not as good as those rich children who were born rich.

Shouldn't it be?

In his opinion, it should have been so.

"Ah An, you are also a blessed person, so you can be born to our Han family. Otherwise, with your ability, I'm afraid that even a tenant in the field will not be able to do well. ”

Han Yue turned his head to look at the eldest son beside him who had just been crowned.

Han An didn't know why his father suddenly said this, but he had always respected his father very much, so he didn't dare to refute it, but there was some anger on his face.

Han Yue smiled.

Young people always feel that the world is big, and everything is not weaker than others.

As parents, they will always say that their children are not as good as others, but they still have to feel that their children are the best.

"The master Lu apprentice I see today is the same age as you, but he has surpassed you a lot in his actions. I know you're not convinced, it's just that A'an, Yangquan is still too young for your generation of young people. If you don't enter the mountains, you can't see the deep stream, how can you see the greatness of the world. Han Yue sighed.

Few people still remember that the head of the Han family, who is now the most famous in Yangquan County, also traveled around the world with a backpack and a sword when he was a teenager.

Who hasn't been a teenager.

Han An was silent, as if he had never heard Han Yue's words.

"I know you've been angry these days that I made the three families not resist. Young people, always thinking about blood and pride, these fathers understand. But I did that before, it was also for the Han family. ”

"Before Liu Bei came, what kind of people were in the county? Zhao Xiancheng is indeed a capable official, but that's all. Don't say that the soldiers guarding the city are even the county lieutenants of Wu who are afraid that he can't be contained. And not to mention the county lieutenant Wu, the person who sways from side to side, does he dare to put his life on him? If we help them defend the city, if we are not careful, we will not suffer a backlash. ”

"Does Father think that this newcomer Liu Bei can keep Yangquan?"

Han An was still a little unconvinced, why did his father value this young man who was not much different from his own age so much.

"Naturally, I didn't have a full grasp of this Liu Bei, but I just had some more hope to fight hard. This person has scheming and skill, although he is still immature, but he is also a character in the end. Han Yue smiled, "It's better to fight hard than to be infamous, if there is a chance, you still have to give it a try." ”

What's more, his teacher is Lu Zhi. If it happens, our Han family will inevitably take another step. Walking out of Yangquan City, what the predecessors have not done for several generations will not be able to achieve it in one fell swoop. ”

"It's such a big benefit, how is it not worth our fight. In the final analysis, what the head of the family does is still to stand above the interests of the family. ”

Han Yue turned his head to look at Han An and said with a smile: "Ah An, do you know what I am looking for you for?"

"I don't know." Han An said bluntly.

Although he is the son of the Han family, the affairs of the family have always been controlled by Han Yue, and he, the son of the Han family, is speechless and just obeys orders.

Han Yue smiled: "I have arranged for your mother and brother to leave, but I deliberately left you behind." If I want you to personally take the men of your family and follow that Lu Gonggao disciple to defend the city. Do you resent Father?"

If the Southern Barbarian alien race really arrives, the soldiers will be in danger at that time, even if he is the son of the Han family, he may die on the battlefield.

Han An shook his head, "If Father doesn't do this, the child can't say that he still asks Father to do this." Yangquan is in trouble, how can the Han family be a watcher! ”

Han Yue stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, straightened his clothes for him, and said with a smile: "So heroic and heroic, it is a little bit like my son Han Yue." Your mother often said that among all the sons, you are the least like me. But my father thinks you are the most like me. If it weren't for the fact that my father is now old, I would have personally led people to the top of the city. But now that you are there, the Father is sitting at home, waiting for you to return. ”

Han An saluted, "Father, rest assured, the child will not insult the name of the Han family." ”

"The name of the Han family is actually nothing." Han Yue smiled, "It's just that you have to come back to me well." ”

"Yes." Han An replied in a deep voice.

Han Yue suddenly remembered something, "I remember that a few days ago, my family just got more than ten good horses from the north, and I will bring them with you when you go to the county office." ”

The south is not like the north, there are many fewer horses, and it is difficult to traffic back and forth, so even an ordinary horse can be sold for a good price, let alone a good horse.

Han Yue turned his head to look at the ancestral hall and said with a smile: "I want him Liu Bei to owe me a big favor this time."

…………

"Liu Jun, this is Yangquan's arsenal."

Zhao Jun took Liu Bei and Zhou Tai to the door of a mansion, passed several county guards at the front door, and went straight into the backyard.

There was no one in the backyard, and at a glance, the two stone beasts at the door were staggering, and the iron lock on the door was rusty.

This is where Yangquan County's military equipment is located.

In the face of war, you must not be unarmed.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty set up an arsenal to collect armor and equipment.

Swords and other blades are easy to say, but if they hide armor privately, it is a felony to steal the family and exterminate the clan.

In the past, Zhou Yafu decided the Seven Kingdoms with one force, and in front of the Xiliu Camp, how majestic he was, but he still died because of this.

Even if there is another hidden circumstance in it, it can be above the crime, and this crime is serious.

Today's largest arsenals are naturally in Chang'an and Luoyang, and there are also small arsenals in each of the localities.

Zhao Jun smiled awkwardly, "Liu Jun, before Liu Xianjun liked literary affairs and was not good at martial arts. So this arsenal is gradually falling into disuse. ”

Liu Bei nodded, that Liu Dian's reputation is not unusual.

The three of them stepped in, and the courtyard was overgrown with wild grass, and the deepest part was enough to reach knees.

There is only one main house in the back house.

"The weapons that are not commonly used in the county are all here."

Zhao Jun opened the copper lock, which was already a little rusty on it, and pushed the door in with Liu Bei.

The wooden door opened, and countless smoke and dust came in.

The three of them walked in as they swept the smoke and dust in the air.

Wait a moment for the dust to settle in the house.

Only then did they see what was in the house.

The left and right sides are full of lanqi with weapons, and there are many weapons on the shelves, with many spears and swords.

Although a lot of dust has fallen on it, if you look closely, it is still full of cold light.

The room is full of blades, and the cold air is cold.

Liu Bei casually pulled a ring-headed knife from Lan Qi and gently wiped it from the blade with one hand.

Holding a blade, and the murderous intent arises.

Although this ring of swords is not as good as the thirty refining swords that Wu Wei bought with a lot of money, it can be regarded as a rare good blade.

He put the knife down and opened a box in front of him.

Stacked in the box are pieces of leather armor.

He picked up one casually and handed it to Zhou Tai behind him, "Youping, how is this armor?" ”

Zhou Tai put the stomach in his hand and checked it, "It's lighter, if you let Tai use it, I'm afraid that I will have to cover the two armors." ”

"Zhou Jun is a brave person, naturally different from ordinary people." Liu Bei said with a smile.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight outside the house broke for some reason, and it actually shook his eyes.

He raised his hand to shield himself from the sun, only to find that behind the Lan Qi directly behind him, there was a pair of iron armor hanging on a wooden frame.

He stepped forward, swept away the dust from it, and reached out to touch the nail leaf on it.

Though it was covered with dust, the iron armor was still cold.

Liu Bei glanced at the weapons and armor in the house, laughed, and said to the two of them, "The blade is not cold, the iron armor is still cold, how can this Yangquan City not be defended?"

…………

Two days later, the news came that Tateshi had surrendered without a fight.

For two more days, the southern barbarian alien race approached the city.

In Yangquan City, Liu Bei tied his hair and armor and held Gordon City.
