After arranging everything at home, Liu Jian and Jian Yong, Su Shuang and others made an explanation, so he and Zheng Ci took a team of domestic servants with martial arts to Luoyang.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong all stayed in various positions and worked hard to develop, and he couldn't lag behind.

Two thousand miles from Zhuojun to Luoyang, more than 1,500 miles, there are many of them, plus Zheng Ci is a female dependent, Liu Jian estimates that if he arrives in Luoyang, it will be at least fifty days.

In this way, the accompanying guards have to be considered by themselves.

Now that the entire Liu clan has been assigned to Liu Zhou and Liu Jian, it is not difficult to find a group of strong and loyal apprentices to escort them in the entire Zhuojun Liu clan.

But the journey of more than 1,500 miles is too long, and there are countless beasts and bandits, so there must be a captain who is strong in martial arts and can mobilize the guards to ensure that nothing happens.

If Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Han were among them, any one of them would go to Luoyang with him, and Liu Jian would rest assured.

The problem is that if they are allowed to go to Luoyang to be their entourage, it is really overkill, each of them will have considerable room for development in the locality, and Liu Jian is really reluctant to take them to Luoyang as followers.

But it was at this time that Gongsun Zhan and Guan Yu each recommended someone to come to Liu Jian to listen to.

Gongsun Zan recommended it was his close body and mind belly feathers.

Yu Ze this person Liu Jian has seen a few times, he has a good impression of him, he is capable, has martial arts, and is calm and solid, when Gongsun Chan was in Liaodong Subject, he has been following Gongsun Chan, from which it can be seen that Gongsun Chan uses him very easily.

And Guan Yu recommended a bandit leader named Li Damu.

Of course, he is now good, at least here in Guan Yu.

Speaking of which, the current Guan Yu has made a great name in the land of Youzhou.

Compared with Guan Yu at the same time in history, it is no longer the same.

Under Liu Yu's hands, Guan Yu gave full play to his bravery and military talents.

After Liu Yu arrived, he treated the alien races on the border of Youzhou, including Wuhuan and Xianbei, and adopted a gentle policy.

But before Huairou, first of all, you must establish your power, and you can achieve the best effect by combining grace and power, and Liu Yu still understands this truth.

So, Liu Yu first held the attitude of trying to use it, and used Guan Yu to suppress Kou near Yuyang to establish his prestige.

Let the Youzhou Zhuhao Right and the border people of the north know that although he Liu Yu came with Huairou's sincerity, he himself is not a vegetarian.

This gave Guan Yu a huge space to play.

Although Guan Yu is young now, he is far from the highest level of flooding the Seventh Army in history and capturing Pang to threaten Huaxia, but with his current potential and ability, it is more than enough to threaten the bandits of a state.

Guan Yu made a strict plan, and at the same time completed the training of Liu Yu's army in the shortest possible time, and then began to suppress thieves in Yuyang County.

In a month's time, he broke through eight thief villages, beheaded more than 700 people, captured 30,000 people, and was invincible and unstoppable.

After a few times, Guan Yu not only made a name for himself in the grass world of Youzhou, but the local tyrants were also terrified when they heard his name.

Liu Yu didn't expect Guan Yu to be so powerful, and he was very happy in his heart, and gave him the name of martial arts from the new, and ordered Guan Yu to replace him in the command of the assassin history.

With Guan Yu's assistance, Liu Yu began to concentrate on politics, and all the military affairs of the Assassin's Mansion were handed over to Guan Yu, and he was very relieved.

Guan Yu became Liu Yu's military spokesperson, and had the right to control the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Youzhou Thorn History, and his power rose gradually, and he shocked the counties of Youzhou, becoming a veritable No. 1 fierce man in Youzhou.

At the same time, under the instruction of Liu Jian, Guan Yu also advised Liu Yu to recruit the elite of Wuhuan to fill the army, set up the Wuhuan Raid Cavalry Garrison, and at the same time increase Liu Yu's available army.

Yuyang and Shanggu, the Haoyou class of Guangyang Prefectures, both began to show favor to Guan Yu.

For example, the Xianyu, Yu, Qi and other big clans with great influence in the border counties, while befriending Liu Yu, naturally they will not forget to make friends with this 'No. 1 soldier in Youzhou'.

As Liu Jian said, there are many thieves in Youzhou, and there are countless thieves in the place, among which the dragons and snakes are mixed, there are those who want to be thieves and fight the court to death, and there are also those who are forced to escape into the mountains and forests as black households, but in fact, they are only forced by life, and the determination to be thieves is not so firm.

In this way, according to Liu Jian, Guan Yu recruited soldiers and generals to expand his influence, while secretly recruiting some thieves who were 'bright-hearted'.

This Li Damu is the leader of a thief in Youzhou, because of his big eyes, he is called Li Damu by his peers, but his own real name is not mentioned at all.

Seeing the slight knowledge, the fact that the green forests and grasses of the Han Dynasty were nicknamed was commonplace, with big eyes called 'Li Damu', those who rode white horses called 'Zhang Bai Ride', those who jumped high called 'Chu Feiyan', and those with big voices called 'Lei Gong'.

It is far less resounding than the later heroic nicknames of "Hu Baoyi", "Jade Qilin", "Zhiduoxing" and "Yunyunlong".

Even compared with the nicknames of pheasant, Liangkun, and Big Guy B, it is also a lot inferior.

It can even be said that it is miserable.

However, Li Damu was recommended by Guan Yu, which was a good thing for Liu Jian.

His ability may not be stronger than Yu Ze, but fortunately, he is born as a thief and is still the leader of a party, with such a person accompanying Liu Jian to the city, at least every time he goes to a new realm, he can understand the local 'underworld'.

In these years, Shangjing is not something that ordinary people can go to casually, someone has to be powerful, and both black and white can be understood.

Otherwise, this 1,500 miles of land is likely to be the way to the capital.

……

After the group finished cleaning up, Liu Jian and Zheng Ci said goodbye to their parents and began to set off towards Luoyang.

Along the way, I saw a lot of unexpected "scenery".

In Youzhou, there is nothing special about the itinerary along the way, but the more you go to the Central Plains, the more you can see the miserable scene.

The closer you get to the hinterland of the Central Plains, the more homeless gangsters there are along the way, and the number of bones and corpses starving to death on the side of the road gradually increases.

In this era, the agricultural land has not yet been fully developed, and there are many mountains, forests and valleys along the way, birds and beasts are everywhere, so the bones of those dead on the roadside are not only rotten and stinky, but also half red and half white that will be eaten by wild animals, and their appearance is extremely miserable.

Occasionally, vultures and crows can be seen squirming around in terror, cleaning up large areas of carrion, and these birds pecked at each other and made strange noises, as if mocking humans.

Although this scene is terrifying, if you think about it, it also makes sense.

The closer you get to the hinterland of the Central Plains, the more the number of clan gates, and the more Haoyou.

In this way, the more land is annexed, livelihoods are lost, and the more people are displaced, and the more people die from poverty, disease, and hunger.

And Liu Jian and his others can't have a pavilion to stay every day along the way, and most of the time they can only sleep in the wilderness, and sometimes they can also stay in private homes when they encounter a village in the countryside.

From Zhuoxian County to Sili, Liu Jian and his party encountered two robbers on the way, one was killed by Yu Ze, and the other was by Li Damu and was able to pass.

On another occasion, several hungry wolves slipped into their camp at night, and two of their attendants were wounded, and the entourage went out of the tent with bows and knives to kill the wolves.

Liu Jian also ran out of the tent to kill the beast, but then thought that it was wrong, and hurriedly ran back to his camp.

Sure enough, it's not just people these days, it's not just beasts that are difficult to deal with.

After the adult men were lured out of the camp, two other hungry wolves secretly lurked in Liu Jian's tent to attack Zheng Ci.

Women and children are the real targets of wolves!

Fortunately, Liu Jian rushed back in time, shot a wolf, and stabbed another horse to death with a long sword, saving Zheng Ci.

That night, Zheng Ci was so frightened that he didn't sleep all night, and cried all night in Liu Jian's arms.

Later, they encountered two more attacks by the leaders of the homeless gangsters, but although the opponent was large in number, they did not have any weapons at hand, and they were still easy to deal with.

This trip down can't be said to be ninety-nine eighty-one difficult, but it is by no means so easy.

Finally, they reached the border of Sili.

This night, Liu Jian and others also found a village in a deserted suburb to live.

There was no good place in the village, so they had to live next to the broken grass hut in the village, but the grass hut was too dilapidated, the walls were full of leaks, and the roof had not been repaired for many years.

At night, the cold wind blew in through the cracks in the walls and windows, and the frozen people shivered.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zheng Ci curled up in the corner of the house, his soft face was bloodless, and he kept coughing from time to time.

This journey down did toss her enough.

Maybe it's because the hinterland of the Central Plains is too chaotic, compared to going from Gaomi to Zhuo County when she got married, the situation on the way is really thrilling and complicated.

At this moment, she was holding Liu Jian's gown in her hand, and there was a big hole on it, and Zheng Ci was concentrating, sewing it for her man with stitches and threads.

But if you look closely, her eyes are bloodshot, her complexion is poor, and her expression is tired......

The bumpy pain of going to Luoyang this time made her too tired.

But even so, she still coughed while insisting on sewing clothes for her husband.

All this fell in Liu Jian's eyes.

Liu Jian walked up to her distressedly, handed her a bowl of hot water, and said softly: "These things have their own subordinates to do it, my sister has already suffered from the cold, why bother to suffer from this fatigue?" ”

Zheng Ci put down his robe, took the water bowl and took a sip, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not in the way, the wife sews clothes for her husband, which is the way of humanity, how can you say that you are tired, and then people help sew and mend it, after all, there is no fit for the concubine's body, so that they don't feel at ease with the concubine's body...... And ......"

At this time, Zheng Ci's face showed a happy smile: "And if you can see the clothes on your husband's body every day, which are sewn by the concubine's own hands, so that the concubine is also happy and full in body and mind, maybe this disease will get better faster." ”

Liu Jian sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Zheng Ci looks virtuous and virtuous, but he is also quite stubborn in some ways.

These things are basically related to Liu Jian.

In order to make Zheng Ci no longer suffer from the wind, Liu Jian went out to get some tent cloth for his entourage, looked for cracks in the wall in the house, and tried to block the gaps as tightly as possible, so that the wind could not enter and Zheng Ci's illness would not be aggravated.

But there are too many gaps, and Liu Jian really can't block them.

Zheng Ci saw that Liu Jian was busy going back and forth in the house for himself, and a warm expression appeared on his face.

When he was young, the gap in the wall was finally blocked, and Liu Jian came to the bed and sat down, and said to Zheng Ci: "Wait for the next stop to the post house, and don't leave, in case of delaying your condition, it is not a trivial matter." ”

It was a good intention, but Zheng Ci's face changed suddenly.

She put away her gentle smile and said, "If the husband delays the trip because of the concubine and misses the big event, the concubine is willing to die under the eaves of this bed." ”

"Where is it so serious?"

"Husband, you are Zhuojun filial piety, this time you are not in Beijing to play, but to report to the Lang Bureau, if you are late because of the concubine, not only will you delay the future, but also make the concubine ashamed, the concubine is only occasionally sick, and there is no major incident, please don't think of the concubine."
