——
Because of the wind and snow, Liu Xiu did not ride a horse and rode slowly, but took a carriage and set off slowly. The sun rose high before setting off. He just rested westward. He only took thirty or forty miles a day, almost like traveling around the mountains and rivers. Fengxue, who had been bored in Luoyang Prefecture for too long, saw the green mountains on both sides of the river and the river was surging. He was so happy that he had not returned to the grassland. He accompanied the wind and snow to Chang'an and others to see it. He was also very moved. He said to Liu Xiu several times, "You Han people are so greedy. With such a good land, why do you still have to compete with us for the grassland?"
Liu Xiu smiled, we are not competing for the grassland with you, but because the people on the grassland like to rob. If we don’t (additional updates, please vote!) occupy the grassland, no matter how good this land is, it will not be our hometown.
Lie Kuangfeng didn't understand, scratched his hair and looked confused. Liu Xiu was not interested in explaining to him. Could it be that you could go to Hanoi as long as you break through Bingzhou? He Lian and Murong Feng were fighting lively, but the Niutou tribe was resting. He didn't want to knock down two tigers and feed another big wolf.
On this day, Liu Xiu arrived at the pond and stayed in the guping night. The whole family talked and laughed and played games. It was not until the beginning of the Xu hour that Liu Xiu drove Liu Xie and Liu He who were still unsatisfied to go to bed. He talked to Fengxue for a while before leaving the door.
"Master Wang, you should rest first." Liu Xiu smiled at Wang Zhi and said, "There is a tiger camp outside the pavilion, so there will be no trouble."
Wang Zhi smiled and bowed to retreat. When he learned that General Wei was going to live here, the pavilion chief had already driven away all the idle people. There were only Liu Xiu's family in the pavilion, and there were 200 tiger soldiers led by Xu Qian outside. Unless an army came, no one would be detrimental to Liu Xiu.
After Wang Zhi left, Liu Xiu sat for a while before saying, "Fengxiao. Yanming, you can go out for a walk."
When Guo Jia and Yan Xing heard this, they quickly cleaned up. Yan (additional updates, please vote!) Xing handed Liu Xiu's cloak. "Sir, Ye Han, be careful."
"So too." Liu Xiu took the cloak, sent his own laces, and looked at Yan Xing, "Do you still like this outfit?"
Yan Xing touched Jinyi on his body and smiled embarrassedly: "I like it. I don't like it."
"Oh, why?"
"I like it because this dress is really good-looking, and I don't like it because I can't let go of my hands and feet when shooting archery. I can break it with a slight stroke. It's not as strong as a sheepskin clothes."
"Hahaha..." Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and walked forward. Yan Xing blushed and quickly followed with the knife ring. After walking two steps, he stopped again, and asked to the side. He said to Guo Jia sideways, "Fengxiao, you go first, I'm here to protect you."
Guo Jia was also happy: "If there is any accident here, let's go together."
The two walked side by side and followed Liu Xiu out of the door. Liu Xiu walked around the yard, chatted with the soldiers in charge of the night watch, checked the situation on duty, and asked someone to open the door of the pavilion. When Zhou Ming, who was in charge of the door, heard it, he asked, "General. How many people should I take to follow you?"
"No, I'll just walk around nearby, there's no problem." Liu Xiu stopped him and walked out of the door. Zhou Ming hesitated a little, Guo Jia winked at him, and then he woke up. Liu Xiu went out so late, probably had some secret actions. He rushed to report to Xu Qian immediately. After Xu Qian heard it, he didn't make any statement. He just arranged for people to watch from a distance, and not to have a large number of enemies approached. With Liu Xiu and Yan Xing's martial arts beside him, three or five people could not hurt them at all.
Liu Xiu left the pavilion, and the pavilion was at the foot of the pavilion. The steep mountain of Lu was as quiet as a tiger under the moonlight, and the strange stones and green pine were all black. The moonlight shone on the mountain path, mottled like silver. Liu Xiu walked forward more than thirty steps along the path next to the pavilion, turned onto a small hill, turned back to Guo Jia, Yan Xing waved his hand, and then walked up alone.
Yan Xing was a little nervous, but Guo Jia was very calm. He leaned against a big rock and pointed to the river that shined like a ribbon in the distance and said, "Yanming, do you know what famous events have happened here?"
Yan Xing blinked, wondering what Guo Jia meant, was he testing his knowledge?
"This is where Xian Zhen ambushed Meng Mingshi, this is where Qin and Zhao meet each other, and Lin Xiangru forced Qin to attack the king of Zhao. This is..." Although Guo Jia's voice was not loud, the story he told was very attractive. Although Yan Xing's family background was good, in terms of this knowledge, he was far inferior to Guo Jia. He listened with relish and even foreseeing the situation around him.
Just ten steps above their heads, Liu Xiu stopped, Guo Jia's voice came faintly, he smiled slightly, and coughed lightly: "Shock, please show up."
With a slight sound of footsteps, Zhang Ming slowly walked out from behind a huge rock. Ruju's eyes swept across Liu Xiu's face and said lightly: "General Wei is now of a valuable identity, so it is not easy to meet him."
"Well, there is no way. Thieves are rampant these days, so I have to be careful."
Zhang Ming was a little embarrassed, clenched his fists and covered his mouth, and coughed falsely: "I'm here to talk to you about exchanging holy relics and holy aunts."
"I know." Liu Xiu nodded, "Or I wouldn't have come to see you either. It's just... you have too much trouble in Luoyang, so you haven't had time until now?"
Zhang Ming was speechless. He had indeed been in Luoyang for a while, but he was too busy and had more important things to do than exchange, so he was delayed. Of course, those things could not be told to Liu Xiu. He could only remain silent. After a moment, he said: "General Wei is closely guarded around him. It is not easy for me to see you. Besides, now I am sensitive to the identity of Taipingdao and do not want to meet General Wei in Luoyang, so as not to cause criticism for General Wei."
"It's really not easy, so I thank you." Liu Xiu said in a stiff tone: "Tell me, your conditions."
"I wonder if General Wei's previous conditions... can be fulfilled?"
Liu Xiu sneered: "Don't worry. Since I said I would like to exchange Yingzi with my rings, I will never regret it. No matter how Yingzi fell into your hands, I will give you the rings."
Zhang Ming was stunned and blurted out: "We want to bring the Holy Aunt first? How is this possible?"
"Impossible?" Liu Xiu's eyes instantly became cold: "If I can't see Yingzi, I will give you the ring. Can you still send him back?"
"Of course."
"It would be strange if I believe you." Liu Xiu snatched his cloak and glared at Zhang Ming: "You know who you are. If you want to play these tricks in front of me, I will tell you. Don't think about it. I will send Yingzi honestly and I will give you the ring. This is the final condition. If you can't make the decision, go back and say to Zhang Jiao."
Zhang Ming also lowered his face: "General Wei, it will be difficult for us to do this. If we send Yingzi here and you don't give the ring, wouldn't we lose?"
"You have to figure out one thing." Liu Xiu sneered: "If you have a ring in your hand, and you will send it back to Yingzi. What impact will it have on me? Since I have promised you that you are willing to exchange, I will not regret it. If you don't believe me, how can I believe you? Take a step back and say that you were forced to rob the ring and Yingzi. This time, Yingzi fell into your hands and you were robbing people in the street. Otherwise, Luo Yao would not have returned empty-handed."
"Did you sent Luo Yao?" Zhang Ming's eyes suddenly tightened.
"Not bad." Liu Xiu snorted: "So you'd better believe me, otherwise I'll send someone to save me. Although Julu City is strong, it's not worth mentioning to me."
Zhang Ming refused to show weakness and sneered: "General Wei was so angry. There are nearly 100,000 troops from Taiping Road inside and outside Julu City. If the general can come and go freely, can we still sleep peacefully?"
"Hahaha..." Liu Xiu laughed softly, his laughter was like a night owl in the mountains, and Zhang Ming was frightened. "One hundred thousand army? Let me tell you one thing. Your Majesty has ordered the transfer of two thousand war horses from Bingzhou to Changshui Captain Cao Cao. He will go east today, with his five thousand elite infantry cavalry under his command. Where do you think he will attack first?"
Zhang Ming's heart was suddenly grabbed, and Cao Cao led 5,000 elite battalions to the east? The current situation in Shandong is a delicate balance. Cao Cao may not be many of these 5,000 people, but his identity is very sensitive. He is one of the forces of the Song family and belongs directly to the emperor. More importantly, he has been in Luoyang for so many days but knows nothing about this thing that is likely to break the balance. This shows that the emperor has felt some problems and deliberately concealed the news from their eyes and ears in the palace.
"Although the Yellow Turbans are numerous, they are just a bunch of loose sand. Do you really think the government army cannot win?" Liu Xiu sneered repeatedly, "The first and last time I warned you to send Yingzi, don't force me to confront you, otherwise your 100,000 troops will be wiped out in the blink of an eye." He raised his hand and showed Zhang Ming the ring on his hand: "I swear here that as long as you send Yingzi back safely, I will give you the ring immediately. If you violate this oath, the heavens will be urgent and the earth will be destroyed. If you don't send her back, or cause her to suffer any pain, I also swear that you will regret it for life."
Zhang Ming's face changed drastically. Liu Xiu made such a heavy vow, and it seemed that he would not change his mind. More importantly, the news that Liu Xiu revealed to him was too important. He must immediately verify it and understand which direction the emperor would send Cao Cao to attack first and what plans were behind him. At this moment, it was indeed not a wise move to turn against Liu Xiu. It really forced Liu Xiu to be too late. What damage did Tang Yingzi have? It would be no loss to Liu Xiu, and it would be no trivial to them.
Zhang Ming remembered the revenge he had taken from Luoyang Prison after he came out of the Luoyang Prison, and did not dare to neglect him anymore. He agreed to go back and ask for instructions from the great wise mentor, and left in a hurry.
Liu Xiu snorted disdainfully. He came to see Zhang Ming and asked them to send Tang Yingzi back was only one of the purposes. He knew that Zhang Jiao and the others were sure to win the ring, otherwise Zhang Ming would not have sent him to see him. His greater purpose was to verify the relationship between the emperor and Taipingdao. Judging from Zhang Ming's expression just now, there must be a connection between them.
So, if Cao Cao goes east and breaks this balance, how will the situation develop? He hopes to break this balance, but he does not want the Taiping Road to be extinguished too easily. The longer the chaos in Shandong is, the more beneficial it will be for him. Since the emperor does not let me intervene, I will stir the water a little more muddy and more muddy.
