"Cao Xing? Didn't you hear that you died in Qi County?"

"I thought this was the case at first, until the last time Long Xiang came to grab people in front of the battle, and when he retreated, he suddenly found that there was a back that looked very similar to Cao Xing, combined with the information that the scouts had recently discovered, and the governor of the five battalions of Hefei also had a general surnamed Cao, so..."

After listening to Hao Meng's inference, Qin Yilu put down the wine bowl and nodded: "Brother Hao has been with Cao Xing for many years, since you are so sure, there is a great chance that he will still be alive, if he is really one of the governors of the five battalions, maybe it will be a good way out."

"Well, if it's really Cao Xing, Brother Qin brought my meaning, and when Lujiang can't stay anymore, let's switch to Hefei..." Hao Meng said with a serious face.

Qin Yilu smiled awkwardly and muttered, "Because of the relationship between my wife and brother, I can barely survive in Lujiang, and I may not go to Hefei with Brother Hao, but I will do your business with my heart..."

Hao Meng nodded slightly: "That's right, Liu Xun attaches great importance to Liu Ziyang, and your wife and brother are Liu Ziyang's nephews, and the status of the Han family is still good..."

"Brother Hao is far away, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival today? Let's drink." Qin Yilu poured wine for Hao Meng with a smiling face.

After drinking two pots of wine, Hao Meng said goodbye and went home.

In the early morning of the next day, Hao Meng went to the city gate to say goodbye in person with a drunken face, the purpose was to remind Qin Yilu.

Qin Yilu is honest and honest, and he is diligent and diligent, so he is loved by Yuan Shu.

On the way to Hefei, he didn't have an in-depth communication with Liu Ye, let alone tell Hao Meng's thoughts, he was a lonely and secret-keeping person.

In late August, Long Xiang summarized Lu Su's strategy and wrote a letter for Luo Yicheng to go to Xuzhou with secrets, in an attempt to change the course of history with his own strength.

A few days after Luo Yicheng left, Liu Ye and his entourage arrived at the Hefei Post House.

The old appearance of Hefei has been renewed, and the people in the city live in an orderly manner.

Liu Ye pointed to the newly renovated post house and asked Qin Yilu, "Has General Qin been here before?"

"Never." Qin Yilu shook his head lightly.

Liu Ye nodded slightly: "I passed by once a few years ago, it was barren and withered like a mass grave, but I didn't expect it to regain its vitality now, although it is not as prosperous as Anhui County, and it is not as prosperous as Shouchun before, but the future can be expected..."

"Uh... If the gentleman says so, it should be no worse..."

Qin Yilu didn't feel this way, so he could only follow alongside.

When Liu Ye stroked his beard and thought, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "General Qin, can you know that Hefei can have such a change before and after, because of whom?"

"Isn't it Long Xiang?"

Qin Yilu's face was full of doubts, and he said in his heart, "Didn't you ask knowingly?" Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words and said, "Could it be Lu Zijing?"

"Yes, of course."

Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction, with a sense of satisfaction.

Qin Yilu smiled embarrassedly, and said in his heart that you have so much foreshadowing, it turns out that you are praising your friends around the corner, do all scholars like to go around the bend?

Seeing that Qin Yilu just smiled innocently, he didn't continue the topic.

Liu Ye instantly felt bored, so he turned around and said to himself: "Long Xiang used to be just a small Quhou, and it may be no problem to manage an army, but it is not easy to govern a city well, and it is impossible to defeat the powerful Zheng Bao, without the guidance of a master, it must be Lu Zijing."

"Oh..."

Qin Yilu simply spit out a word, which made it difficult for Liu Ye to continue, making the atmosphere in the post house slightly embarrassing.

Liu Ye felt bored and walked to the wall and found that the gap between the bricks was very strange.

The cement mortar is harder than the traditional material, and the more Liu Ye observes, the more incredible he feels, and then he finds that the layout of the post house in Hefei is very different from the layout of the traditional post house.

Liu Ye was originally a member of the Han family who had seen the world, but when he carefully observed the novelty in front of him, he became Grandma Liu in the Red Mansion.

Liu Ye consulted the post guards with curiosity, but they were stricter than Qin Yilu's mouth, and they didn't answer any of the key questions.

Just when Liu Ye was depressed, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Son

Yang, where is Ziyang? Lu Su Laiye..."

Liu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly straightened his clothes, and at the same time reminded Qin Yilu.

In an instant, the sound came with everyone.

Lu Su trotted forward, held Liu Ye's hand with both hands, and said with emotion: "The last time Shouchun said goodbye, it was two years ago, how is Brother Ziyang?"

Liu Ye nodded lightly: "It's quite reluctant, but Zijing surprised me, I was advised to go south to vote for Zheng Bao, but I didn't want you to help Long Xiang kill Zheng Bao, was it coerced or voluntary?" Yuan Shu can't force Zijing, why..."

Lu Su patted Liu Ye on the back and said enthusiastically: "Haha, this matter is a long story, the post house is not a place to talk, my mother heard that Ziyang came to Hefei, and she is going to cook a few appetizers herself, and follow me back to the main house to eat and chat."

"Lingtang also came to Hefei?" Liu Ye was very surprised.

Lu Su smiled and nodded: "As soon as Yuan Shu dies, the army and the people are centrifuged, it is good that there is no chaos in Huainan, I don't worry about leaving my mother in Dongcheng, it's better to take it to my side, let's go, talk slowly on the road."

"Okay."

Liu Ye was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered Qin Yilu, considering the relationship between relatives, it was not good to leave it in the post house, so he introduced to Lu Su: "By the way, this is my nephew-in-law, can he go with him this time to serve as a guard?"

Qin Yilu clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general, Qin Yilu, has seen Mr. Zijing."

"It turned out to be General Qin, so let's go over together..."

Lu Su was an official under Yuan Shu, and he had also heard that Yuan Shu married the daughter of the Liu family to a general surnamed Lu Buqin, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Ye's niece, and he said that Liu Ziyang's seniority was still high, and his nephew was a little old.

Qin Yilu, who was silent along the way, suddenly made a "reckless" move, and immediately asked after he finished talking in Lu Su: "I was originally under Lu Bu, and I heard that there is a Cao Du Governor in Hefei, who was also Lu Bu's general, can I catch up with him?"

"Huh? You say Cao sex, right? I almost didn't think about it, of course it's okay for my comrades to catch up with the past, come with me to the main bookkeeper's mansion first, and I'll invite Cao Dudu to come later."

Lu Suyan waved his hand and pulled Liu Ye to lead the way.

Several people stepped on their mounts, and Lu Su pointed to the horses under him, and joked to Liu Ye: "Horses in Hefei are scarce, and even my mounts are temporary, and they will be deployed by Cao Dudu in wartime."

Liu Ye was stunned when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Cao Xing's power is so big? Then what is your position in Hefei?"

Lu Su smiled and raised a finger, and laughed at Liu Ye: "According to Yunqi's statement, I should be counted as one person, in addition to the regular government affairs of Hefei, the governor of the five battalions also listens to my dispatch."

"Since Zijing is Cao Xing's Shangguan, why doesn't he have his own mount?" Liu Ye was very puzzled.

Lu Su smiled and said, "Yunqi doesn't have an exclusive war horse? What's more, I'm the master of the Sima book?"

Speaking of this, even Qin Yilu, who didn't talk much, couldn't help but ask, "This... How is that possible?"

"Haha, I'll explain it when I get to the place, Yunqi calls this "resource integration"."
