Chapter 21 Meeting the Assassin Again
After staying in Jiangzhou City for a few days, I learned about the city defense of Xiajiangchengzhou.
In fact, the year before yesterday, that is, the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Liu Zhang divided Ba County into three: Ba County north of Dianjiang; Yongning County from Jiangzhou to Linjiang; and Guling County from Quren to Yu to Guling County. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201 AD), Yongning County was renamed Ba County, and the county was Jiangzhou County.
Therefore, at this time, Jiangzhou City was the capital of Yongning County. In Jiangzhou City alone, there were 2,000 infantry soldiers and 1,000 naval troops. The prefect of Yongning County was the general under Liu Zhang and Yan Yan. However, although Yan Yan was the prefect of Yongning County, he was actually subject to Zhao Yu's restraint, because Zhao Yu's military position was higher than him.
As for Yan Yan himself, Liu Xie looked at him a few times, but he could see that although Yan Yan was a middle-aged man in his forties, his strength was at least as high as Xu Huang and Chen. It has to be said that Yan Yan and Huang Zhong were worthy of being famous veterans in Shu Han later, and they were indeed models of becoming stronger and stronger.
But what Liu Xie didn't know was that there was no biography of him in the "Shu Han Chronicles". In other words, in history, Yan Yan might not have surrendered to Liu, but actually became the "dead-headed general".
Jiangzhou is located on the north bank of the Fu River. The river and the Fu River meet outside the East City and go east.
Liu Xie and others stayed in Jiangzhou City for a few days before going up the Fu River, intending to leave the water and go to Chengdu by land after arriving in Guanghan.
Originally, Liu Xie planned to go to Fu County first, because the soldiers brought by Dong Cheng were stationed in Fu County. With these soldiers, Liu Xie felt that he would be more confident. But after hearing that Dong Cheng's family was received by Liu Zhang from living in Chengdu, Liu Xie gave up this plan.
Without Dong Cheng in Fu County, who knows whether Dong Cheng's subordinates were bribed by Liu Zhang? Moreover, if you think about it carefully, who knows that Dong Cheng would not be bribed by Liu Zhang? Although this possibility is not very high, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xie no longer wants to take this risk.
Just as Liu Xie and others left Jiangzhou, Liu Paopao and the others appeared in Jiangzhou.
Liu Paopao was a little worried, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were even more worried. Liu Paopao was worried that Liu Xie had run away, and he didn't know if he dared to enter Shu. What Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were concerned about was that the emperor ran around and what if he was intercepted and killed? And they could not tell everyone with great fanfare that the three brothers in Taoyuan came to protect their lords, so that Liu Xie didn't have to worry! Because this is Liu Zhang's territory, if you are not careful, even they will be in danger!
After all, Liu Bei's big fanfare is equivalent to telling Liu Zhang that they are hardcore royalists. What if Liu Zhang doesn't want Liu Xie to enter Shu? Then, if their hardcore royalists do this, wouldn't they send sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Now they can only hurry to Chengdu and secretly contact the court ministers, and then see if they can contact Liu Xie secretly!
If Liu Xie knew that Liu Paopao was looking for him, he would definitely stop and pull the two brothers Guan and Zhang to the side to ask about their well-being, so as to win over them. As for Liu Paopao! Find a free official and let him play with mud!
Of course, the idea is beautiful, and it is unknown whether the facts will be like this.
After all, the ideas of the two brothers Guan and Zhang are much simpler than Liu Paopuo! Liu Paopuo is a person with great ambitions, so how could he be willing to live a mess?
However, when Liu Paopu and others started to travel again, they still walked by water, from the river to Chengdu. They did not know what method Liu Xie would take to go to Chengdu, but only knew that if Liu Xie entered Shu, he would definitely go to Chengdu. Therefore, after Jiangzhou, the two groups of people no longer walked the same way, but went along in separate paths.
After passing through Dianjiang, passing through Deyang, he soon arrived at Guanghan, and changed the water route to land route. The group was full of dust.
The Bu Jing divine horse was finally released from the 'cage'. When Liu Xie rode on it, the guy stood up, stepped on his feet and hissed for a long time, looking extremely excited. Seeing Taishi Ci and others couldn't help laughing, "It seems that we didn't hold it up, but we were so tired of holding it up!"
It was not far from Guanghan to Chengdu. Everyone's nerves were a little nervous, but after hearing Taishi Ci's joke, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Zhu Ge frowned and said, "Young Master, Bu Jing is so majestic, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be seen. Besides, although there are not many gentry in Sichuan and Shu, there are also many outstanding clans. If those young men and brothers see Bu Jing and make a plan, wouldn't they cause trouble?"
Gan Ning laughed and said, "From now on I remember, no one dares to rob someone of his property. I want to see who dares to come and die!"
Liu Xie laughed and said, "Xingba is indeed majestic and domineering!"
After hearing Liu Xie say this, everyone laughed. After a pause, Liu Xie said again: "This trip is two or three hundred miles to Chengdu, and it takes one day to reach it. If I step down this foot, it will take less than a day. Therefore, if I meet someone who cannot open my eyes, I can tolerate it, but if I really can't, I will kill you!"
"Here!" Taishici and Gan Ning responded. Seeing that they were like this, they probably couldn't hold it in a hurry.
But Zhuge Ling didn't learn riding skills, so she blushed and sat in front of Liu Xie with a shame and joy. Seeing Zhuge Ling's appearance, those who knew her would chuckled secretly, especially Guo Jia, the prodigal son. Although Guo Jia and Liu Xie and the others had been together for a few days, they got along well with them.
Guo Jia can be said to be unruly, or he is not particular about the details and makes jokes, especially when it comes to jokes between men and women. Therefore, Gan Ning, a guy with a bad temper and most dissatisfied with him, accepted his existence as soon as possible.
The two of them sat together and drank with each other if they had something to do. Even Liu Xie asked Guo Jia to drink less wine, but Guo Jia didn't care. He even called him: "There is no wine in life and no beauty, what's the point of living?" Until Hua Tuo said to him, "If you want to live a few more years, drink less and indulge less. It's best not to drink and abstinence!"
So Guo Jia was restrained. After all, Hua Tuo was too famous. Even if Guo Jia didn't care about anything, he still didn't want to die early.
It is estimated that in history, Lao Cao should have advised Guo Jia to be more unrestrained, drink less, and rest more. Guo Jia obviously would not take it seriously, and he probably did not meet Hua Tuo, so he died young, which made Lao Cao heartbroken, but he could not do anything!
In fact, the reason why everyone laughed was not because of Zhuge Ling's boldness, but because of Zhu Ge's awkwardness.
On the one hand, Brother Zhu did not dare to stop his second sister from chasing Liu Xie, and on the other hand, he was a little embarrassed that his second sister was bold and direct. So, he was confused! He felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Liu Xie did not stop Zhuge Ling's request, otherwise Brother Zhu would be really ashamed!
And to everyone's eyes, Brother Zhu found his awkward appearance quite interesting.
Half a day later, everyone passed by Wei County. In front of a mountain, Bu Jing's front hooves were raised, sniffing, and stopped.
Everyone stopped horses in surprise and looked at Liu Xie. Liu Xie's brows frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "Bu Jing has never done such a strange thing before. There must be something strange ahead, so he stopped."
Gan Ningqi said: "The hill ahead is not famous! It is not a deep valley and a valley, so there are definitely no big insects lying dormant in it! Let's go and take a look!"
Liu Xie was about to nod, but shook his head quickly and said, "No need! Come on!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look up at the forest ahead. They saw a lonely figure on the treetops in the forest ahead. The figure was wearing a large black cloak, flying in the wind, wearing a black hat, holding a long sword, and his face was shrouded in the shadow formed by the hat, looking hazy.
"It's him!" Liu Xie, Lu Meng, and brothers were in the same relationship.
"Is this person the one who assassinated the young master before when Chaisang was the one who assassinated the young master?" Taishi Ci's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at the black shadow. Chen Ning said, "But how did he know that the young master would pass by here?"
This question is actually a question in everyone's mind. Unfortunately, the answer lies with the man with cloak.
