Liu Xun turned around and faced Liu Jie behind him and said solemnly: "General Liu, it's up to you to accompany Zi Yang this time. Zi Yang is the wisest person in the world, and Wang Zuo is even more talented than anyone else in the world today."

Sir, you will definitely gain a lot by following Zi Yang to Shouchun. I only have two requirements for you. First, put Zi Yang’s safety first in everything. Nothing is more important than Zi Yang’s safety.

If something unexpected happens, please raise your head to see me. The second point is that you will follow Zi Yang's arrangements unconditionally along the way, and you cannot make your own decisions. Do you understand me?"

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will understand." Liu Jie quickly bowed down and solemnly accepted the order.

"Okay, that's it for today. Now that it's getting late, don't delay any longer. Let's get on the road quickly." Liu Xun looked up at the sky and said with some reluctance.

"like"

After bidding farewell to Liu Xun, the two of them stopped staying and led the army in the direction of Shouchun.

Looking at Liu Ye leaving, Liu Xun always had doubts on his face. He racked his brains and couldn't figure out. No matter in his previous life or in this life, Liu Ye chose to join himself, a useless little prefect, and where exactly was he?

Attracted him? Liu Xun never got the point.

...

June 199 AD

"My lord, my lord, something big has happened." The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Cong, who was arranged by Liu Xun to collect intelligence. At this moment, Zhang Cong, led by the chief of guard Wang Hao, rushed towards Liu Xun's study with an anxious look.

Liu Xun heard Zhang Zong's shouting from far away in the study. When Zhang Zong came closer, Liu Xun frowned and shouted: "What are you talking about? Fortunately, you are still a leading general. If something happens, just

What a fuss and decency to do something like this."

Then Liu Xun threw away the military book in his hand and asked solemnly: "Tell me what happened? What made you so panicked?"

After being scolded by his lord, Zhang Zong immediately calmed down and replied with a flushed face: "Reporting to my lord, the spies in front sent back news that Duke Yuan was sent by Cao Cao on his way to defect to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

Liu Bei and Zhu Lingjun blocked the way. General Ji Ling was killed by Zhang Fei on the spot. Yuan Jun was defeated. Unable to advance, Duke Yuan was forced to retreat to Shouchun. However, when the army retreated to Jiangting, Duke Yuan was filled with grief and anger.

In the end, he vomited blood and died."

Liu Xun, who had known about it for a long time, could not feel the slightest emotion after hearing such news. He just said to Zhang Cong calmly: "Well, I understand. Let's continue to inquire about the news of the surrounding princes to see if they have any information."

Something strange, go down."

Zhang Zong looked at the lord who showed no signs of trouble in front of him with a look of astonishment, feeling secretly ashamed in his heart. "As expected of the lord, his determination is rare in the world. It seems that he is still far behind the realm of the lord."

"Why are you still standing there?" Seeing Zhang Zong with a complicated look on his face, Liu Xun shouted unhappily.

"If you don't, let's go right now." Zhang Zong suddenly got excited and ran towards the door.

"Wang Hao"

"The end will be here"

"When you bring three thousand soldiers and horses to Jiangting, you must invite all Yuan Yao, Zhang Xun, Yang Hong and their families to Lujiang." Liu Xun said very calmly.

"Lord, what if they don't obey?"

"They are all a bunch of trash. If you don't obey, I will kill you. But you must remember not to hurt Mr. Yuan's life. As for the others, it's okay." Liu Xun said indifferently, as if Zhang Xun, Yang Hong and other people in the past

In his eyes, his immediate boss is no different than a chicken or a dog.

"like"

After receiving the military order, Wang Hao immediately strode out of the study without stopping.

Liu Xun, who was alone in his study at this moment, couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, Yuan Jiujiu will never be able to follow the trajectory that history should have. In this way, he is getting closer and closer to his own historical node."

...

Jiangting

Although Yuan Shu died after only a few days as emperor, he was once a dominating prince, and Yuan Yao, as Yuan Shu's only son, will inherit the great cause in the future. Now, with Yuan Shu's death, everything has turned into bubbles. At this moment

Yuan Yao stared blankly at the gloomy sky outside Jiangting City. It was so gloomy that one could not breathe, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Yuan Yao silently recalled that during the period when his father was proclaimed emperor, the old members of the Yuan family had long been alienated from his father, and now even more so after his father suffered repeated defeats.

No one is afraid of the Yuan family anymore. Sun Ce even openly rebelled against the old master, while others such as Chen Lan, Liu Xun, and others even turned a blind eye to the Yuan family's downfall and refused to save them. Now only Zhang Xun, Yuan Hong, and others are left around.

Man, as for the army, it has long since dispersed.

Thinking about it, Yuan Yao's hands and feet were cold and his heart was numb. Without the protection of the army, Yuan Yao had become a frightened bird. He was afraid that Cao Cao's army would come again and they would die without a burial place. Now Yuan Yao simply

I have no other thoughts, the only thought is how to live well.

Just when Yuan Yao was thinking hard alone, someone outside suddenly preached: "Young Master, Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang, sent General Wang Hao to help the young master go to Lujiang to settle down."

The person who came to retaliate was none other than Yuan Yao's uncle Yuan Yin.

At this moment, Yuan Yao was already like a drowning man. Now that Liu Xun came to invite him, he immediately regarded Liu Xun as a life-saving straw. Without any hesitation at all, he nodded and said: "Unexpectedly, it is rare that Liu Xun still has such a heart. Now we have also

If you are homeless, then go to Lujiang County and seek refuge with Liu Xun."

"What the young master said is that I will go and prepare it right away." Yuan Yin was also overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

"My lord, you must not do this. This Liu Xun is a man of great ambition and talent, but he forgets his own righteousness. This kind of person will be defeated sooner or later. If we defect to him, we will definitely not benefit. Now Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, is in the east of the Yangtze River and will definitely become a prince in the future.

With one hegemon, we can have a promising future, so it is the right way for us to defect to Sun Ce." Just when the two were about to make a decision, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun arrived after hearing the news, and the person who spoke was Yang Hong.

Hong.

Suddenly seeing Zhang Xun appear at the same time, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao were not surprised at all. Yuan Yin frowned and asked: "Then Sun Bofu is hostile to us, how can he be so kind to take us in?

"

"Mr. Yuan's words are wrong. Sun Bofu is a hero in the world. Now that His Majesty has passed away, considering His Majesty's kindness in the past, Bofu will definitely take us in. However, Liu Xun's wolfish ambition may not mean he treats the young master sincerely. If the young master

If the Lord goes to Lujiang, he may be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth." Zhang Xun also gave words of advice.

"After all, Liu Zitai is His Majesty's trusted general. How do you know that Zitai is not sincere to us?" Yuan Yin asked somewhat unconvinced.

"Is there any need to think about this? If Liu Xun came to welcome the young master sincerely, why did he let his general Wang Hao bring over three thousand murderous troops? He only needs to send an envoy over, why bother to go to war in such a big way? It's settled

It's him who has evil intentions towards the young master." Yang Hong said with certainty.

As soon as Yang Hong said this, Yuan Yin was speechless. Yuan Yao was young and could not understand these twists and turns. Now seeing that his uncle was speechless, he knew that what Yang Hong said was reasonable. "Sir,

If that's the case, what should we do now? It's all up to you."

"Hey, now I am also a clever woman who can't make a meal without rice. The soldiers under my command are so frightened that they can't deal with Liu Xun's three thousand army. At this time, we can only take one step at a time. If we don't suffer the immediate loss, we will go to Lujiang County first.

. Before that, the young master can first send his cronies to Jiangdong to ask for help from Sun Ce, and ask him to coerce Liu Xun to let us go to Jiangdong. With Sun Ce’s current strength, I understand that Liu Xun doesn’t have the courage to offend Sun Ce’s face, and he will definitely give a few favors by then.

If you can't share the noodles, you can only sit in Lujiang County and wait for Sun Ce to destroy Liu Xun." Yang Hong said helplessly

Yuan Yao thought about it for a while but had no idea. Since he had no doctrine, there was nothing to hesitate about. He immediately said to Yang Hong: "Then just follow what Mr. said."
