of the mountain

Seeing the gift from Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, Yuan Gaolu, Yuan Gaolu, what's your heart? I have a beautiful Xiao Qiao who is so charming and has not yet married. What are you sending these four vulgar fans? Will my Zhou Yu have the same vision as you?

Zhou Yu knew that Yuan Shu had always been arrogant and luxurious. He lived in a luxurious house, ate food that was no less than the emperor, wore expensive clothes, and married dozens of wives and concubines of all sizes. He probably thought he was a person who liked beauty, so he gave four Central Plains beauties.

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and sighed: "Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, you don't even know what I like, so you sent four beauties. If you don't know yourself or your enemy, you will be destined to fail in the future..."

After all, Zhou Yu accepted Yuan Shu's gift as planned, and sent all the gold, silver and wealth into the treasury. He also selected four of the generals who were not married under the tent and married the four beauties home.

Zhou Yu also wrote a reply letter to Yuan Shu, meaning that the two armies had fought many times in the past, but now they should forget it. The two families are connected, hoping to live in peace in the future, put the people first, etc.

Zhou Yu's move was also intended to respond to Yuan Shu's enlistment. Although there were many battles between the two, although he always looked down on Yuan Shu's character, Yuan Shu always looked down on everyone in the world, and he was the only one who was the only one. Now Zhou Yu still needs to recuperate in Jiangdong and accumulate resources. The current focus of the battle is in the south. In Jiaozhou and the north, Yuan Shu is used as a buffer, which can attract the attention of the princes such as Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, and can also delay their pressure on Yangzhou. Now that Yuan Shu has the intention to reconcile, why don't Zhou Yu do it?

Yuan Shu finally felt relieved when he received Zhou Yu's reply. At least he could draw some troops from Hefei to support Zhang Yan and increase his troops to attack Zhang Xiu. At least he had to suppress the arrogance of the Xiliang army and not be afraid of talking about Xiliang.

Just when Yuan Shu quietly discussed peace with Liu Bei and Zhou Yu and concentrated on dealing with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu also received such news through the inside line, and couldn't help but worry. Although the Xiliang army was brave in fighting, there were not many people after all, and now they had to divide their troops to garrison more than ten counties including Wancheng and Rangcheng, and they were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack.

Once Yuan Shu concentrates all his troops to deal with him, the ending is unpredictable, and the possibility of failure is high. Even if the world is great, there will be no place for him to settle down.

Another person who made Zhang Xiu feel even more uneasy was Cao Cao, the Sikong and the chariot general of the dynasty.

Cao Cao has always been the mortal enemy of the Xiliang Army. In the past, he was the deputy leader of the Guandong Alliance Army and actively attacked the Xiliang Army. Although he suffered losses, he was determined to defeat the Xiliang Army. Now, he has occupied a high position and used the emperor to command the princes. In addition, Xu Du is only more than 200 miles away from Nanyang. The cavalry can arrive in one day and infantry can arrive in three days. He occupied Nanyang himself, as if he was nailed to a nail in front of Cao Cao's eyes. How could he tolerate it?

Once Cao Cao made up his mind to attack Nanyang, with his military command ability, the ability of civil officials under the tent to plan and the ability of military generals to charge, the most important thing is that Cao Cao can stand at the highest point of morality to attack himself, and he will be attacked on both sides, and that life will be sad.

Of course, Zhang Xiu was still afraid of the sneak attack by Liu Biao's army, the governor of Jingzhou. Nanyang County has always been the largest and richest county in Jingzhou. Liu Biao has always wanted to take Nanyang back from Yuan Shu, but failed to achieve it. Now that he and Yuan Shu are in a group, it is not ruled out that Liu Biao will be profitable.

On that day, Zhang Xiu finished his patrol and just returned to the front of the mansion, a guard guard came forward to report: "General, one of them came to visit and said he was the general's old friend."

"Old friend?" Zhang Xiu's young and handsome face showed a look of confusion. He was still young and had served in the army of his uncle Zhang Ji very early, and there were very few old friends. Who is this person? Could it be that God sent to help me?

With questions, Zhang Xiu put down the whip in his hand and hurried into the living room. He saw a middle-aged scholar sitting there drinking tea, with a gentle posture. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he was overjoyed and rushed forward a few steps forward, bowed to the ground, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Wenyou! It's you!"

The man was Li Ru, the chief think tank of the Western Liang Army. He had always had a good relationship with Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, so he also met Zhang Xiu. Now that he saw that Zhang Xiu had become a majestic commander, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up. The two of them told us in detail about the situation in recent years.

It turned out that on the day Dong Zhuo was killed, Li Ru happened to be not in Chang'an City. He was sent by Dong Zhuo to Hedong to ask for property. Just when he was about to return to Chang'an, he learned that Dong Zhuo and the main generals of the Xiliang Army were killed. In a panic, he didn't care about the property. He fled to a foreign land alone with some softness and fled to a foreign land all night. Later, Li Ru walked into a deep mountain, not knowing where it was or what the name of this mountain was. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he became aware of living.

Li Ru found a cave next to the mountain stream for people to live in. He collected a lot of thatch and dead leaves nearby and temporarily settled in the cave. The next day, Li Ru met a woodcutter in the mountain and learned that the mountain was named Xuanyuan Mountain, located at the junction of Yuzhou and Jingzhou. It is rumored that this mountain was once the place where Xuanyuan lived. He married the daughter of Xiling, continued his descendants, and became the ancestor of the Chinese nation.

Li Ru was extremely tired at this moment and didn't want to run around anymore. Seeing that Xuanyuan Mountain was in a remote place and wanted to be safe, he could live temporarily, so he leveled a place next to the cave and built a thatched hut with his own hands. Although it was simple, it could shelter from the wind and rain.

Li Ru lived in the mountains for several years. He grew food himself, hunted and fished by himself. His life was hard but he was far away from the intrigue world, and he was still idle. After gradually getting familiar with the mountain people, Li Ru learned about the great changes in the Central Plains. Wang Yun was in power, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were entrenched Shangyong, the Xiliang army captured Chang'an, Emperor Xian temporarily lived in Anyi, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son died young, Cao Cao captured Yuzhou, Zhou Yu attacked Jiaozhou, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei occupied half of Xuzhou...

Upon hearing this news, Li Ru's originally silent heart began to move again. He was full of knowledge and was completely omitted. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo, who served, was not a wise master, and was connected by him as a relative, so that he would fall today!

After several nights of long exams, Li Ru finally decided to go down the mountain again and go to Shangyong to join his friend Zhang Ji. After so many incidents, Li Ru was still full of confidence and believed that he could help Zhang Ji revitalize the glory of the Western Liang Army. Who said that the Western Liang Army would decline? Who said that the Western Liang Army could not sweep the Central Plains again?

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
