Before Liu Xie set out west, Hao Zhao and Xiahou Lan rushed to Jincheng.
After delivering the escorted books, Hao Zhao immediately took Xiahou Lan to the camp and reported to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was very happy to see Xiahou Lan. He asked about the situation in northern Hebei, and learned that Yi Jing was defeated and Gongsun Zan died. Zhao Yun was quite moved. Gongsun Zan was an excellent general, but not a qualified official.
"Zhongshan Zhen family rejected Yuan's marriage." Xiahou Lan said about Zhen Mi again. Zhen Mi and Zhang Hong went to the northern mountain of Yanmen to worship the god of Xuanwu. According to the schedule, it should be now.
Hurry up to the road.
Zhao Yun did not know Zhen Mi, but he knew Zhang Hong and Zhang Hong's sister, that is, Zhen Mi's biological mother Zhang, and of course he also knew the strength and situation of Zhen Zhongshan. He admired Xiahou Lan's decision very much and then
Xiahou Lan recommended it to Liu Xie.
He told Liu Xie that Xiahou Lan's martial arts skills were not very outstanding, but he studied the law for many years and was a rare talent.
Liu Xie and Xiahou Lan chatted for a while, and asked Jia Xu to take the exam for Xiahou Lan's knowledge. Jia Xu also admired Xiahou Lan quite a bit and thought he was a suitable candidate for military supervisors or military chiefs. He invited Xiahou Lan to serve as a military school.
Assistant teaching, specializing in teaching the law.
Military law was originally the prototype of military art, but now it is still an indispensable and important part of military art.
Xiahou Lan was in her heart and felt that she was doing this.
Xiahou Lan introduced the situation in northern Hebei to Liu Xie and Jia Xu in detail. In order to break through Yijing, Yuan Shao showed goodwill to the great tribes in northern Hebei, and got married and promoted the title. However, Tian Feng, who is now in charge, is now a concubine.
They are all from southern Hebei, and they mostly use their attitude towards northern Hebei, so it is difficult to pay attention to them psychologically. After breaking through Yijing, new changes are likely to occur.
Liu Xie had not received any news from Jizhou, but after hearing Xiahou Lan's introduction, he couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Shao has been kidnapped by the people of Jizhou to be precisely the people of southern Jizhou. He was eager to attack Yanyu. In addition to saving Yanliang, he wanted to obtain the support of Chongyu and balance the people of Jizhou.
But ideals are full, reality is skinny. Although Yanyu has many talents, there are few generals, and most of them come from poor families that Yuan Shao despises. Even if Yuan Shao can control Yanyu, he cannot solve the existing contradictions.
Will intensify.
This structural contradiction is probably not something that Yuan Shao can solve. He is a vested interest in the situation and cannot find a way to break the situation. Even if he finds a way to break the situation, he will not be determined and will attack himself.
To put it bluntly, this is just another form of conflict of interest. If you cannot balance interests, you will never be able to break the deadlock.
Liu Xie was not too concerned about Zhen Mi. He knew that Zhen Mi was a famous beauty in this era, but did he lack beauty? As long as he kept calm and didn't slut, what kind of beauty wouldn't be there?
Liu Xie decided to set off as soon as possible to complete his trip to the West Sea.
Yuan Shao ended the war in northern Hebei and raised his troops south. The war in the Central Plains was about to begin. He would soon return to Guanzhong to take command so that Han Sui could attack with peace of mind.
Zhou Zhong rushed to Xiangyang.
Liu Biao went out of the city to greet him, held a banquet in Xianshan, and welcomed Zhou Zhong.
In addition to the local celebrities in Jingzhou, there are also many famous people living in Jingzhou. Among these people, Zhou Zhong saw a familiar face, Shi Sun Meng, the son of Shi Sun Rui.
Zhou Zhong was a little strange, and the soldier Sun Meng called him in front of him. "Why are you still in Jingzhou?"
Shi Sunmeng looked awkward, and Liu Biao was a little unhappy. But due to his demeanor, he did not change his color, but just looked at Zhou Zhong with a smile.
"Go to Taiyuan, you, Anweng, are responsible for heavy responsibilities and need help from others." Zhou Zhong said bluntly. He was a few years older than Shi Sun Rui, and he was once a member of the Grand Marshal. The general Sun Meng was able to teach a lesson as a junior.
do.
"Hey." Shi Sunmeng responded noddedly, not daring to speak back.
Liu Biao said with a smile: "Jiamou, he is a young scholar who cannot carry a knife or ride a horse. What's the use of returning to Taiyuan?"
Zhou Zhong glanced at Liu Biao and smiled slightly. "Jingsheng, he is different from you and me. He is still young and can't carry a knife, so he can practice. Will Shi Sun Junrong lack warriors who are proficient in martial arts? He can't ride a horse, so he can practice.
.After the emperor calmed down and was cold, the most important thing he lacked was a horse. Young people, who were flexible and were willing to endure hardships and practiced for a year or two, would naturally be skilled in bows and horses.”
Liu Biao's expression froze. He heard Zhou Zhong's warning that the emperor was not short of warriors, more horses, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Once he attacked, it would be the thunder, which was much stronger than Dong Zhuo's back then.
"After leaving for many years, I didn't expect that Brother Jiamou was so generous, which was eye-opening."
"What kind of heroism is this?" Zhou Zhong said slowly: "A handsome talent came out of Jingzhou, and that is called heroism. Like everyone here, he was a scholar, and he could not hold a knife or ride a horse.
After that, he practiced martial arts hard. In just half a year, he and Lu Bu were riding the north of the desert with hundreds of cavalry, traveling thousands of miles, beheading more than ten thousand, and were granted a marquis in one battle."
"Is that right?" The people of Jingzhou present were surprised and looked at each other. "Who is it?"
"Who knows, he must be a poor man." Someone murmured in a low voice, with a little sourness in his disdain.
Zhou Zhong sneered: "You are really ignorant, and people wonder if Jingzhou is still in the territory of the Han Dynasty. This person is not a poor family. He is a child of the Huang family in Jiangxia, Huang Yi and Huang Zimei."
Everyone was stunned.
The Huang family in Jiangxia is a famous family even in Jingzhou. Such a person would actually rampage the desert with Lu Bu and be named a marquis for his military achievements. If the person who spoke was not Zhou Zhong, no one would believe it.
Shi Sun Rui couldn't help but ask, "Duke Zhou, what's going on? How could Scholar Huang Yi be granted the title of marquis for his military achievements?"
"You guys, you're so white, with a pair of ears." Zhou Zhong pointed at everyone, looking angry with the feeling of being so angry. "I don't know Huang Yi, how can you still not know Ding Chong? He is in Nanyang. Huayinyi
During the war, he walked with the emperor and slashed people with a knife. If the emperor hadn't been one step faster and had he killed Li Jue with his own hands, Ding Chong might have been awarded the title of marquis for his military achievements."
Everyone was stunned.
Of course they knew that Ding Chong and Ding Chong were in Nanyang. In recent years, they recruited talents in large numbers. There were many people poached by him. Liu Biao hated him so much. He wanted to raise troops several times, but was worried that he could not defeat Zhang Ji, so he had to do so.
They swallowed their anger. They originally thought that Ding Chong was relying on the Western Liang soldiers to show off their power. After listening to Zhou Zhong's words, they realized that Ding Chong was a cruel person.
What shocked them even more was another sentence: The emperor killed Li Jue with his own hands.
During the Battle of Huayin, the emperor was only fifteen years old, but Li Jue was a powerful general in Xiliang who had been through the battlefield for a long time. In the Battle of Huayin, the emperor won, and many people thought it was a lucky draw. Unexpectedly, this luck was like this.
When he came, the emperor not only took action himself, but also killed Li Jue.
"Duke Zhou, is this...is it true?" Shi Sun Meng asked indifferently with Liu Biao's ugly face.
"What are you lying to?" Zhou Zhong glared and cursed angrily: "You won't write a letter to Taiyuan to ask Ling Zun? During the Battle of Huayin, he was ordered to command the imperial guards to fight against Li Jue, and he was also blood-stained. The battle robe was watched with his own eyes as the emperor entered the formation and defeated Li Jue."
Kuai Yue, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. "Since the scholar Sun Junrong has made such great achievements, why did he just give up Wei Wei and exil to Taiyuan?"
