I was taken out to drink last night, and I came back very drunk. I'm sorry that I don't have time to ask for leave from everyone
"Han Sui, I didn't expect it to be him. It looks like we have another big enemy." Liu Long was sitting in the study, holding a letter sent from Zhao Yun of Jilu Sai, with a look of helplessness on his face. Lift.
He also knew a little bit about the grudge between Ma Teng and Han Sui. In history, the two of them often formed alliances and fought for their own benefit. No, last year the kingdom was defeated by the army sent by the imperial court. Ma Teng, Han Sui and others then abolished the kingdom and kidnapped Yan Zhong as their commander. Soon after Yan Zhong died of illness, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others fought for power and fought against each other. To this day, they still refuse to obey the other. Seeing that Liu Long and Ma Teng were getting close, Han Sui was afraid, so he formed an alliance with the army of Western medicine doctors to strike first.
"They say you can't have your cake and eat it too, and it seems this is true. Allying with Ma Teng offended Han Sui." Liu Long shook his head and put the letter in his hand on the desk with a wry smile.
Liu Ye was sitting not far away. Seeing Liu Long's expression, he knew exactly what his lord was thinking. "My lord, it is not necessarily impossible to have your cake and eat it too. It just depends on what the lord wants to do."
"Zi Yang knows me well, but I don't know what Zi Yang is thinking in his heart." Liu Long looked at Liu Ye and said.
"Whether it's Ma Teng or Han Sui, they are the two largest warlords in Xiliang. Their current power cannot be underestimated. It's not difficult for the lord to avoid offending both of them. They both value their own interests. , you can send envoys to Han Sui to form an alliance with Han Sui. With Han Sui's current situation, of course he also wants to expand his territory. For him, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies. Therefore, Han Sui did not refuse The reason. In this way, Ma Teng and Han Sui are all allies with our army, and the two of them will not fight again for some power struggles. Of course, the lord can also" Liu Ye paused mid-sentence.
Liu Long raised the corner of his mouth and looked Liu Ye up and down. "I know what Ziyang is thinking. Is it possible not to form an alliance with Han Sui, but to use the Battle of Jilu Sai as an excuse to press the border and capture the counties and cities managed by Han Sui. In this way, Come, our army is in a favorable position in Liangzhou. No matter whether we go south to Xishu or north to the Western Regions and other places in the future, we must make the best and adequate preparations for our army."
"My lord is wise, Han Sui used troops from the Western Regions to fight against our army, which gave our army a reputation as a military force. Although our army has a strong enemy this time, it must be said that it is also a great opportunity. Today, Ma and Han If they don't agree, it's a good time for the lord to take action. The lord can work with Ma Teng to get rid of Han Sui. If the relationship between the two is harmonious in the future and the lord wants to take down Han Sui in one fell swoop, then Ma Teng will definitely help. After all, no matter it is Ma Teng Or Han Sui, they don't want their lord's power to enter their territory." Liu Ye's words showed that at this time he was standing in a hostile position with Han Sui, looking for his lord's future path.
Liu Long thought for a moment and nodded, "Zi Yang is right. Although Han Sui is a formidable enemy, it is also the best opportunity for our Liu family army to enter Liangzhou. If we miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult for us to enter Liangzhou in the future." ."
Liu Long has the world in mind. For him, Liangzhou will still have a large army to attack the border this morning. It is a good opportunity in front of him. How can he miss it?
"Zi Yang, in the past few days, you have arranged the ordnance, food, grass, clothing and other materials that the army needs to carry. I am going to send you and Han Sheng to Jiluxai. To attack Han Sui's army, we will have two armies, Canglang and Huwei. . And I want you to be the military advisor this time, I believe Ziyang will not refuse." Liu Long looked at Liu Ye with a smile, which meant that he would hand over the full power of the two armies to Liu Ye.
"Accepting the order of the lord, my subordinates will not let the lord down." Hearing that Liu Long had entrusted such an important matter to his own hands, Liu Ye hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. He was full of confidence in Liangzhou and his party this time.
"Yes." Liu Long nodded, "There are four of us, Zi Yang, Han Sheng, An Ming, and Zi Long. I feel very relieved! By the way, when we go out, let Han Sheng come to see me."
After Liu Ye resigned, Huang Zhong walked in not long after, wearing a golden armor. Liu Long asked Dian Wei and Jiang Ji to guard the outside, while he discussed with Huang Zhong in the study. As for what was being discussed, probably only the two of them knew.
Five days later, Liu Ye and Huang Zhong led the Huwei Army to leave Jinyang. At this time, Jinyang City had less than 3,000 troops, but for the current Liu family army, 3,000 troops were enough. Coupled with Guan Yu's Yanlong Army guarding Yanmen, no force dared to run wild in Bingzhou.
On the second day after Liu Ye and Huang Zhong left, orders from the Liu Jiajun began to be passed on, and various armies began to mobilize.
"My lord, my lord, a letter has been sent from Jingzhou." Dian Wei hurried in from outside with a letter. Liu Long stood up and without saying a word, he stepped forward to take the letter and read it. For him, the alliance between Cui Yan and Liu Biao in Jingzhou was important.?But the affairs of the Zhuge family are his most important priority at this time, and the Zhuge family is better than Jingzhou in forming an alliance.
"Okay, okay, I'm just relieved that Ji Gui is doing things." Liu Long said hello three times after reading the letter.
"My lord, what does the letter say?" Dian Wei asked puzzledly.
"The matter in Jingzhou has been settled, and Ji Gui took Zhuge's family back to Bingzhou." Liu Long rarely showed a smile on his face. After putting the letter away, Liu Long continued, "Dianwei, please prepare a few fast horses. I want to go to Hanoi County."
"My lord wants to go and meet him in person." Dian Wei said in surprise.
Whether it¡¯s the Zhuge family or Cui Yan, the alliance between Jingzhou and Liu Long has been completed this time. Liu Long has to go to Hanoi County on business or in private. While taking them back to Binh Chau, they can also learn about the current situation in Hanoi.
After leaving the affairs of the house to Guo Jia and others, Liu Long secretly left Jinyang with dozens of fast horses and whips the next day. Among them, Dian Wei and Jiang Ji were inseparable. With these two people here, Liu Long's territory Among them, dozens of riders and horses were enough to protect Liu Long.
After Liu Long left, few people in Jinyang City knew that except for Guo Jia and a few confidants, there were also several women such as Ren Hongchang.
Dozens of riders drove all night, and in just a few days' journey, Liu Long and others had left Shangdang County. When they arrived at Hanoi County, Cui Yan and others had not returned yet. As soon as Liu Long arrived in Huai County, Xu Rong and Zhang Fei were already waiting outside the city.
Liu Long and the generals were sitting in the Huaicheng Mansion. Liu Long sat in his seat and looked at Zhang Fei, Xu Rong and others, "You are always well behaved."
"My lord, it's good, but there's no wine. Since you're here, why don't you bring some jars of good wine to me, Old Zhang!" Zhang Fei's first words made everyone laugh loudly, and Liu Long said to He was really helpless.
"You bastard, you came in a hurry this time and traveled all night, let alone bring wine. After I go back, I can send someone a cart of good wine for you to enjoy." Liu Long pointed at Zhang Fei and said .
