Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Long was sent to Jingzhou, Xiliang, and Youzhou for negotiations, and Zhang Liao was the first to return.

    It can be said that Youzhou and his party have a smooth journey. Zhang Liao went to form an alliance according to Liu Long's order, and Gongsun Zan agreed without any scruples.  For Gongsun Zan at this time, Liu Long sent Zhang Liao here, which was equivalent to giving him timely help.

    Yuan Shao captured Qingzhou and incorporated the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops from Qingzhou into Yuan's army. At this time, Yuan Shao was ranked second among the princes in terms of strength, but he really didn't dare to be ranked first.  Under his tent, there were not only many soldiers and horses, but also more generals and scribes than the princes.

    The more powerful Yuan Shao became, the more states and counties around him became frightened, and Gongsun Zan was one of them.  His strength at this time could not compete with Yuan Shao at all, and most of his troops were fighting against the Wuhuan army. It is conceivable that his condition was not very good at this time.

    When Zhang Liao came to join the alliance, Gongsun Zan just grasped a life-saving straw and agreed without much hesitation.

    "Lord, this is the letter that General Gongsun asked his subordinates to bring to you. Please read it." In the city lord's palace, Liu Long sat in the study. Zhang Liao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Ji. Jiang Ji took it and put it on the table.  In front of Liu Long's desk.

    Liu Long finished approving the official document in his hand, put down the brush in his hand, opened the letter and read it carefully, "Alas! It seems that Gongsun Zan is not living a very wealthy life at this time. Since we have formed an alliance with him, this food and grass should be regarded as a meeting gift for him.  "

    The letter Gongsun Zan asked Zhang Liao to bring contained a few wonderful words of praise at the beginning, but the main content was to borrow grain and grass from Liu Long.  It was not easy for Youzhou during this period. Not to mention the continuous wars, several counties also encountered droughts, and most of these counties were under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Zan. There was a shortage of food and grass, endless wars, and the people were miserable.  There was an extreme shortage of food and grass, not to mention Gongsun Zan's army.

    Gongsun Zan was already one head and two older men, and he didn¡¯t know what to do.  When Zhang Liao came to form an alliance, he had no choice but to borrow food from Liu Long.

    Liu Long knew Gongsun Zan's temper. He was a face-saving person and rarely asked for help from others.  Now that he has asked to borrow food from him this time, it shows how much courage he has shown.  In order to better confront Yuan Shao, Liu Long not only agreed to Gongsun Zan's request, but also gave him food and grass.

    "Wenyuan, take my tiger talisman and go to Yanmen quickly to inform Yun Chang, asking him to prepare grain and grass to be sent to Youzhou according to Gongsun Zan's wishes. And you will be the grain transport officer this time. Remember, you must be careful on the way.  Be careful." Liu Long took out a small box and handed it to Zhang Liao. The thing in the box was the tiger talisman Liu Long used. As long as he has this tiger talisman, he can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou.

    Zhang Liao grasped the box tightly. He knew that this mission was important, and he knew that his lord told him to be careful. The journey might not be smooth. Although he bypassed Jizhou without alerting Yuan Jun, foreign soldiers and horses would definitely keep a close eye on him.

    "As ordered! I will go to Yanmen without further delay." Zhang Liao lowered his head and said.

    Liu Long waved his hand, "That's not necessary. You just came back, so you should go back and rest for a night. It's not too late to go tomorrow. But you have to remember, you must take extra precautions during this trip and go back as soon as possible."

    "No!" Zhang Liao replied.  After chatting for a few words, they took their leave and prepared to leave for Yanmen tomorrow.

    After Zhang Liao left, Liu Long felt that it would be more appropriate to be cautious. After all, foreigners are not fuel-efficient lamps.  On the same day, he wrote a letter back to Gongsun Zan, asking him to prepare for his trip to Youzhou.

    "Dian Wei, you send someone to deliver his letter to Wang Yue, and ask him to send a few people in disguise to rush to Youzhou overnight to deliver it to Gongsun Zan" Liu Long handed the letter to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei  If you pack it carefully, you will be ordered to go out.

    Just when Dian Wei stepped out of the door, before his front feet even touched the ground, Liu Ye hurriedly walked in from the outside and came to Liu Long's office: "My lord, there is a letter from Jingzhou."

    "|Oh, the matter in Youzhou has just been settled, and Jingzhou has also sent a letter. Could it be that Ji Gui has also taken over the matter in Jingzhou." Liu Long smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his mood today was really not bad, it was getting better and better.

    Opening the letter, his eyes couldn't help but read. When he saw the content of the letter, Liu Long's face first became very ugly, then slowly eased, then a smile appeared, and in the end, his face was full of excitement.

    Looking at the chameleon-like face of his lord, Liu Ye was a little stunned at this time. How long had he not seen his lord look like this before? He was really curious about the letter sent by Ji Gui.

    "Zi Yang, it's not an exaggeration to say that today is a double blessing. Come, take a look at the contents of the letter." Liu Long handed the letter to Liu Ye, and Liu Ye opened it. After reading the contents of the letter,  Liu Ye did not have the same expressions as Liu Long, but was sensitive to Cui Yan's assassination.

    "Lord, it seems that Liu Biao is not simple at all. From the assassination of Ji Gui, Liu Biao has the same troops as our army" Although Liu Ye could not be sure, Cui Yan was assassinated.  It¡¯s true, from the letterJudging from the appearance, Liu Biao has a force like the Flying Tigers trained by Wang Yue behind him, which should not be underestimated.

    "Uh!" Liu Long's expression paused. If Liu Ye hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about it.  What attracted Liu Long's attention at this time were the last few sentences in the letter.  The contents of these sentences are exactly what Cui Yan said about Zhuge Xuan's family, and the letter also explained Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang.

    "Zi Yang is right. Liu Biao is indeed not as simple as he seems on the surface, but do you know? Ji Gui and his team from Jingzhou have brought me several great talents." Liu Long pointed to the last few words in the letter.  In a word, with a smile on his face.

    Liu Ye had read the contents of the letter, and he knew a thing or two about Zhuge Xuan. He was considered a talent, but what puzzled him was that his lord was talking about several great talents, and looking at his smile, it seemed that he was not a simple person.  people.

    "Could it be that, the Lord is talking about Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang." Liu Ye asked Liu Long.

    Liu Long nodded. Just when he was about to say how great the two of them were, he suddenly realized that he was a little too happy. At this time, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin were just children under twenty, and they were even more famous.  Not to mention.

    In order to get through it, Liu Long deliberately told Zhuge Xuan and his family what was going on, and changed the subject so that Liu Ye did not ask too many questions.

    "Zi Yang, sent someone to tell Ji Gui that he should first send Zhuge Xuan and his family to Bingzhou, and that they must be protected on the way. Remember, especially Zhuge Liang, if there is anything wrong with him, I will definitely question him.  Also, the alliance between Liu Biao and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has also accelerated his pace. There are some things that we cannot rely on, otherwise the plan to go south will be difficult to implement." Liu Long asked Cui Yan to send someone to send Zhuge Xuan's family to Bingzhou, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Zhuge family, especially  The words "Zhuge Liang" became more serious, and Liu Ye couldn't help but wonder who this little guy was, who could actually make his lord so excited.
