The army left Chenjun and continued southward, and two days later entered Chenjun.

Passing through a village, but seeing a continuous dock fort, majestic and magnificent.

"There is a huge family business here, I don't know who the owner's surname is? Hurry up and find out! ”

When he came, he took another road in Qianjun, so he didn't see this majestic dock fort, and when he saw it all the way at this moment, Liu Wei couldn't help but be secretly surprised, so he sent a capable scout to investigate. To be able to create this piece of family business, there must be extraordinary talents.

When the scout went for a short time, he hit the horse and reported: "Your Royal Highness, the name here is Xu Jiabao, the surname of the owner is Xu Mingchu, and the word Zhongkang." The family business is an ancestral heirloom, a well-known wealthy family in Qian County. ”

"Xu Chu?"

After listening to the scout's report, Liu Wei was greatly surprised. The impression of Xu Chu is the image of a reckless man, he should be a pig and dog slaughterer, how did he hook up with the landlord? It seems that people are really unseemly!

"Haha...... This trip to the Central Plains was really not in vain, and a large number of pleasure points were harvested, and Yue Wumu and Lin Chong were summoned, as well as a political zhì full of 100 x Ruyi, and the mystery will be revealed after the widow returns to Jiangdong. I received Xu Huang and Xun Yu again, and I met Xu Chu by mistake unexpectedly, is this God's plan to let the widow sweep the princes? ”

Although he was happy in his heart, Liu Wei, who was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, must be confident and happy.

Looking back left and right: "Even if it is the inherited ancestral family business, if it can develop to such a scale, it must also have extraordinary talents. Since the way is here. Visit now and look for talent! ”

Liu Bowen and Xun Yu bowed their hands together: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, and now there is a lot of waste to be revived." It's time to recruit the best talent. As the saying goes, 'wild and virtuous, Wanbang Xianning', you should indeed visit it, and the ministers are willing to do it for you. ”

In the past, King Wen of Zhou personally visited Weishui, condescended to the noble courtesy, hired a fishing veteran, and was assisted by Jiang Shang, laying the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Today's widows pass through here. It's not a dedicated way, how can you let your family do it for you? When visiting in person! ”

Liu Wei rejected the kindness of the courtiers. took Liu Bowen, Xun Yu, Wei Zhuang and other civil and military officers, led a hundred and ten light horses, and entered Xujiabao to visit, and the army was stationed on the road to rest.

I heard that the former Son of Heaven. Now the king of Hongnong came to visit in person, and Xu Chu's brother Xu Bei hurriedly brought his people to greet him: "The grass people don't know that His Royal Highness is coming, and they are disappointed, and I hope that the king will not be guilty!" ”

Liu Wei helped Xu Bei to greet him for a moment, and then followed him to the lobby to watch tea.

After a cup of tea, he went straight to the point: "I heard that my brother Xu Zhongkang has the power to plough cattle, and the widow is the time to use people, so I came to visit." If you can get the help of such a warrior, it is no less than Gao Zu getting Fan. I don't know where Zhongkang is now? ”

Knowing the intention of King Hongnong, Xu Bei couldn't help beating his chest and feeling annoyed: "Oops...... I knew that the king was also recruiting troops, so the common people wouldn't let the dog brother go to Chen to stay and vote for Cao Gong! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Wei suppressed the doubts in his heart. He asked after taking a sip of tea.

Xu Bei said with a look of annoyance: "A few days ago, I heard that Cao Chengcheng recruited a large number of rebels in Chenliu, so Brother Dog led five hundred Zhuangke and quickly went to Chenliu to defect. Pinch your fingers and calculate, I'm afraid that I am already in Cao Gong's army at this moment! ”

Listening to what Xu Bei said, Liu Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said to himself in his heart: Although the widow's crossing has flapped the wings of a butterfly. But there are some things that are destined to be unchangeable after all! Just like Guan and Zhang Zhi to Liu Bei. It seems that Xu Chu is the same for Cao Cao!

"It's rare that His Royal Highness is so important to his brother dog, and he deigned to come to visit my dock fort, and the common people immediately repaired a book, so that he abandoned Cao Cao and went to Jiangdong to seek refuge in His Highness."

Xu Bei had a regretful expression, and ordered the servant to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone immediately, so he gave Xu Chu a letter of repair, summoning him to abandon Cao Cao and go south to Liu Wei.

Although Liu Wei is eager to be virtuous, he doesn't want to do something to dig up the wall in front of his subordinates; First, it will destroy its image in the eyes of the civil and military staff, and second, it will have a grudge with Cao Cao, for the sake of a Xu Chu, the gains outweigh the losses. Besides, he has the golden finger of "summoning fierce generals", as long as he can get enough pleasure points, the heroes and heroes of various dynasties are ready to be sent at any time, why bother with a Xu Chu!

"Now that Brother Ling has defected to Cao Mengde, there is no need to do anything more. The princes of the world are all the courtiers of my Han family, and taking refuge in Cao Cao is no different from taking refuge in the widows. ”

Liu Wei politely declined Xu Bei's kindness, and took his subordinates Wenwu to get up and say goodbye. Turned over and got on the horse, got out of Xujiabao, joined the brigade, and continued to withdraw to the south.

Xu Bei sent Liu Wei away, but he was still secretly annoyed in his heart, so he immediately repaired a letter and sent someone to Chen Liucao's army camp, secretly summoned Xu Chu to return, and then went south to join King Hongnong.

Within a few days, Xu Chu's reply was sent to Xu Bei's hands: "Brother's words are wrong, since my brother has taken refuge in Cao Gong, he should be loyal, how can he have two ambitions?" This is not the husband's doing! Besides, Cao Gong treats me well, and Chu should swear to repay him with death, and he will die. His Royal Highness King Hongnong paid a festive visit, and the foolish brother was grateful, if he had the opportunity, he should repay the grace of this courtesy! ”

Xu Bei read the letter and scolded angrily: "Stupid, stupid, what a brave and unscrupulous martial artist!" What should righteousness be? Can you eat or drink? The dignified King Hongnong, who is about to ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven again, does not take refuge, and actually works for a mere prince, it is really stupid, alas...... How did I get such a brother! ”

Although Xu Bei was annoyed in his heart, he also understood his brother's character. Not only can he drag the ploughing cow upside down with his strength, but his stubborn character is that nine cows can't pull it back, since he has decided to work for Cao Cao, it is useless for him to bother more!

Four or five days later, Liu Wei's army arrived at the wet dock, but saw the flag waving in the middle of the river, the ships were like shuttles, and the warships were like forests. There was a big banner with the word "Gan" fluttering on the boat, but it was Gan Ning, who had formed a naval army in Chaisang, that he learned that Liu Wei had led the army back, and specially went down the river to carry the army to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

When Liu Bian's army was still more than ten miles away from the riverside, Gan Ning got a report, got off the warship with Jiang Qin early, and greeted him on the side of the road for a long time.

"Weichen Gan Ning and Jiang Qin pay homage to His Royal Highness! The lord went to the Central Plains, beheaded Huaxiong, captured Xu Rong, and defeated Lu Bu, the world was shocked, and everyone in the world knew that His Royal Highness's way of using troops was not under Gaozu, and sweeping away the princes was just around the corner. ”

Liu Wei helped up Gan Ning and Jiang Qin with a smile on his face, first said a few words of modesty, and then praised the two of them, and asked: "What is the scale of the naval army built by the two generals in Chaisang now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, since the separation of last year, Jiang Gongyi and I have recruited six or seven thousand people in Chaisang, and now there are more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in the entire territory of Yuzhang County. Among them, there are 10,000 sailors, 3,000 foot soldiers, 2,000 cavalry, and more than 400 large and small warships, which can completely protect the safety of Yuzhang. The south can deter Shanyue, and the west can block Liu Biao! Although His Royal Highness returned to Jinling for the enthronement ceremony, the safety of the border was all entrusted to Gan Ning and Jiang Gongyi! ”

Gan Ning held his head high, and proudly described his military and political achievements during this period to Liu Wei.

Listening to Gan Ning's introduction to the situation in Yuzhang County, Liu Wei introduced Qin Qiong, Yue Fei, Xun Yu, Xu Huang, Liu Ye, Lin Chong and other civil and military generals to Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, and the two sides admired each other.

With the assistance of the Ganning sailor, 20,000 horses crossed the Yangtze River and camped on the shore for a night.

During the banquet, Gan Ning gave a thumbs up to Yue Fei and Qin Qiong and said: "I heard that the two generals have captured the flag all the way and made great achievements, Gan Ning is envious in his heart, I don't know when I will be able to go to the battlefield like the two generals to make a name for themselves?" ”

Liu Wei said: "Xingba doesn't have to worry, there will be a place for you soon." Yangzhou Assassin Liu Miao accepted Dong Zhuo's edict and proclaimed himself King Huai, which is simply a big rebellion! After Lone arrived in Jinling, he immediately repaired the book with him, and asked him to cut the king's name, otherwise he would be a traitor and a thief, and my Jiangdong Army surrounded him on all sides and attacked Liu Xuan together! ”

"Haha...... Great, I, Gan Ning, want to be a pioneer, and first burn the first beacon fire from the West Road! Gan Ning's eyebrows fluttered after hearing this, and he took a drink of the wine glass, and the intention of seeking war was beyond words.

The next day, the two armies separated, and Liu Wei led the army to continue eastward, and it was expected that they would arrive at Jinling City at noon the day after tomorrow. Gan Ning and Jiang Qin led the sailors, traced the river, and went to Chaisang to continue the garrison. Beware of the strong Jingzhou army and the scheming Changsha Sun Jian army.

At noon, a cavalry of two or three hundred people suddenly galloped from the direction of the oblique stab, and shouted loudly from afar: "Your Highness go slowly, Deng Taishan has come to return to his life!" ”

After a while, the burly Deng Taishan had already come to Liu Weima, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "If you go back to Your Highness, the little colonel has returned to the Yangtze River area two months ago, visiting various bandits along the way, inquiring about the whereabouts of Qiao Ying's little lady, and even searching for Jingnan Wuling and Guiyang. ”

Seeing Deng Taishan, Liu Wei was naturally overjoyed. During this time, I didn't forget Jì Xiao Qiao, otherwise what would happen but I would have taken the second Qiao in the southeast and shared my long-cherished wish with him? It's just that during this time, everything is entangled and there is no time to take care of it.

"Captain Deng doesn't need to be polite, I've made you suffer for this time. I don't know where Qiao Ying is now, but take your time! Liu Wei tried his best to restrain the joy in his heart, and asked Deng Taishan with a pleasant face.

PS: Thanks to the strong support of the brothers on the monthly ticket list, I finally squeezed into the top ten. Now send the second shift and continue to ask for a monthly pass to consolidate the position. I was busy with chores in the morning, and when I returned home at half past three in the afternoon, I rushed out of this chapter as quickly as I could. Now I'm going out to the company's banquet, and if I come back early in the evening, I'll try to get another chapter! The trivial matter is over soon, and the swordsman's greatest wish is to have no worries about the codeword! Finally, thank you and ask for a monthly pass again! (To be continued) R655
