Chapter 208 From now on, the sky is high and the birds fly (1)(1/2)
In February of the fourth year of Jian'an, Hanoi was in turmoil.
At the end of last year, when Lu Bu was trapped in Xuzhou, he asked Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang to send troops to help. But Hanoi was too far away from Xuzhou! Although Zhang Yang was determined to rescue Lu Bu, he was beyond his reach. In desperation, he stationed troops in the Ye Wang, hoping to restrain Cao Cao's troops.
But……
But no one expected that when Zhang Yang arrived at the Wild Queen, he was killed by his general Yang Ri.
Lu Bu eventually failed, and Hanoi fell into turmoil for this reason. Fortunately, behind Yang Ri, Cao Cao's support, so although Hanoi was turbulent, it was not as chaotic as imagined. However, after Yuan Shao ended the Battle of Youzhou and eliminated Gongsun Zan, his eyes turned to Cao Cao. So Yuan Shao ordered people to secretly surrender to Guan Gu, then killed Yang Ri, and seized military power.
The rebellion of Cao Cao was immediately in trouble.
Once Hanoi was obtained by Yuan Shao, Yuan's army could march straight into Hulao Pass.
At that time, the entire Heluo would be in danger... Therefore, Cao Cao had to pacify Hanoi, otherwise there would be trouble.
In March, Cao Cao recalled Cao Hong from Ye County and ordered Cao Hong and Xu Huang to split into two groups to cross the river to attack and shoot dogs.
Cao Cao even led a large army across the Yellow River and besieged Wu Gu by shooting dogs!

After a spring rain, peaches and apricots wither.
The pink and white apricots are scattered on the path, turning into an extremely moving scene in the garden.
Liu Chuang lay lazily on the couch, looking through the water pavilion fence, looking at the spring scenery all over the garden, his eyes looked a little confused. It was already March. In a blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since he returned to Yingchuan. During this month, Liu Chuang buried his parents' grave again, and then kept his door shut.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is filial to his parents.
This also made Liu Chuang feel a little more reputation invisibly.
However, Liu Chuang knew in his heart that he was hiding and waiting.
News came from Xudu. Before going to Hanoi, Cao Cao cooked wine with Liu Bei in Qingmei.
Since then, Liu Bei has become very low-key in Xudu, growing vegetables at home every day, and seems to be without desire. But Liu Chuang knows that Liu Bei is actually waiting for opportunities like him. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Bei will flee from Xudu and return to Xuzhou this year. However, unlike the original history. This time, Liu Bei will probably not receive the care of Chen again when he goes to Xuzhou again. Because Chen has settled in Xudu.
As for the others, there is not much to write about.
All trivial matters demonstrate Cao Cao's control over Xu Du and reach a height that he has never seen before...
Liu Chuang has been very quiet this month, as if he has been immersed in the sadness of his parents' burial.
But in fact, Liu Chuang was waiting for the opportunity.
He had achieved his first goal and left Xudu.
Next, he has to wait for an opportunity to escape from Yingchuan.
But this opportunity has not arrived for a long time, making Liu Chuang more or less a little bored.
Cao Cao has sent troops to Hanoi, which is also the best time to escape from Xu Du. Now Xu Du is empty, and although Xun Yu is in charge, Liu Chuang doesn't care. It's not that Xun Yu is not powerful, but that he doesn't have many people available in his hands. Even if he wants to stop him, he can't help Liu Chuang. The key is that Liu Chuang has not received any news from Beihai yet. If Beihai does not take action for one day, Liu Chuang will not be able to escape easily for one day. After all, he stayed in Xu Du to buy time for the Beihai migration.
The afternoon sun is very bright.
It shines on the body, warm, and makes people feel lazy and sleepy.
Liu Chuang took a nap on the couch, then got up and walked out of the water pavilion.
This waterside pavilion is built in the middle of a lake in the garden. The lake connects Yingshui and has a very sufficient amount of water.
Zhuge Liang had really spent some time to rebuild Liu's house here before. The six-in and six-out house covers an area of nearly 100 acres, which is at least twice as large as the original Liu's house. Especially this lake is called Changhu. Yingshui enters the lake from the north and exits from the south, forming a purely natural water system cycle, which is also the most pleasant place in this radius of hundreds of miles.
Liu Chuang loves this place very much.
If he hadn't had ambitions, he would have been willing to live here forever.
I stretched, walked along the winding bridge, and walked to the shore.
When Tai Shixiang saw Liu Chuang coming ashore, he hurriedly came up and said respectfully: "Young Master, Liu Bin is asking for a meeting."
"oh?"
Liu Chuang was immediately excited and said quickly: "Let him go to the study to speak."
"Here!"
Liu Bin, a native of Yingyin, Yingchuan County.
He is Liu Chuang's fellow clan. If he is considered seniority, he should be a generation lower than Liu Chuang. He wants to call Uncle Liu Chuang. When Liu Tao was killed and the Liu family suffered, the Liu family in Yingchuan was also implicated. Those who died and those who fled, almost no one continued to stay in Yingchuan.
The Liu Bin family was the only fellow clan in the clan who had been staying in Yingchuan. It was also because Liu Bin belonged to a distant family and had already declined as early as Emperor Huan, so no one paid attention to it. Liu Chuang returned to Yingchuan this time and tried to summon his clan members, but only Liu Bin came.
He is not tall and extremely capable.
He was wearing a green robe and looked quite neat and clean. After seeing Liu Chuang, he hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"Uncle."
"Public Ru, is there anything wrong?"
Liu Bin hurriedly said, "Uncle, as my uncle told me, I have sent someone to send the old lady across the river and to the Bohai Sea."
"Well, that's great."
Liu Chuang nodded slightly and pondered without saying a word.
The old lady is Xu Shu's mother. After Liu Chuang arrived at the Changshe, he arranged the burial of his parents and visited the old lady. In fact, the old lady had long noticed that someone was secretly taking care of her. She had asked Xiahou Lan to notify Liu Chuang and requested to see Liu Chuang. However, Liu Chuang could not escape from Xu Du at that time, so he had to refuse. After returning to Yingchuan, the first thing he did was to visit the old lady.
This old lady is quite reasonable.
According to her, Xu Shu is studying in Jingzhou now. But she is not sure where exactly it is.
However, the old lady admired Liu Chuang quite much.
Firstly, although Liu Chuang was born from a prominent family, he was good at the market and had a common language with the old lady. Secondly, the old lady was also very respectful to the Han Dynasty. As the uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chuang quickly gained the recognition of the old lady. She also expressed her willingness to let Xu Shu follow Liu Chuang.
However, if Liu Chuang wants to leave Yingchuan, the old lady must have a proper arrangement.
With Xu Shu's filial character, he might not be willing to let the old lady stay in Yingchuan, which is too dangerous. The best way is to let Xu Shu follow the old lady so that he can do things with peace of mind. So Liu Chuang discussed with the old lady and decided to send the old lady to western Liaoning.
After thinking twice, the old lady agreed.
Afterwards, Liu Chuang ordered Xiao Ling to take fifty people to escort the old lady to Bohai County, and then from Bohai to western Liaoning.
The old lady went to western Liaoning, which means that Xu Shu fell into the hands of Liu Chuang. But Liu Chuang was still not very relieved. Xu Shu didn't return for a day, and he would be unable to feel at ease for a day.
After thinking for a while, Liu Chuang said, "Pongru, I have one more thing, I want to ask you for help."
"Please give me instructions."
"I want to ask you to go to Jingzhou and go to Xiangyang to find a man named Xu Shu, the son of Mrs. Xu.
He should be in Xiangyang now, but he may use the pseudonym "Shan Fu". After you arrive in Xiangyang, you will go to Kuai Yue and ask him to help you find this person... Well, this Xu Shu may be studying under Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui and have a good relationship with Meng Jian and Shitao.
Just follow this clue, after finding Xu Shu, give him these two letters, and then take him to Bohai County to seek help from my father-in-law."
Speaking of this, Liu Chuang's eyes were bright.
"Public Religion, now the Liu family in Yingchuan is the only one who is left.
This matter is very important. I entrust it to you, which is equivalent to handing over my future to you. Gongru, can I trust you?"
Liu Bin quickly bowed and said, "Uncle, please rest assured, Bin will fulfill his mission."
Liu Chuang's words actually showed his thoughts.
Liu Bin is not a fool, of course he knows what Liu Chuang thinks... He also understands that although he is from the Liu clan of Yingchuan, the Liu clan has been declining for ten years after Liu Tao's death. If he continues to stay in Yingchuan, it may be difficult to have much development. The ancients had a strong clan concept, and Liu Bin of course also hopes that the Liu clan can rise again. From the current point of view, the hope for the Liu clan rise lies with Liu Chuang.
But he didn't understand why Liu Chuang attached so much importance to Xu Shu.
He is a native of Yingchuan and knows something about Xu Shu.
Thinking about Xu Shu’s face was tied to the streets. Liu Bin saw Xu Shu’s desolate appearance with his own eyes. Later, Xu Shu abandoned swords and learned literature, which surprised many people. Later, he and Shi Tao went to Jingzhou together and disappeared. Unexpectedly, his uncle actually knew this person. This shows that Xu Shu has achieved great success now, and Liu Bin’s heart has the desire to make friends with Xu Shu.
On that day, Liu Chuangming Taishi Xiang and Zhuo Ying led one hundred flying Xiong Wei to Jingzhou with Liu Bin.
It is naturally impossible for him to hide his actions from those who are interested.
On the day Liu Bin left Yingchuan, Yingchuan prefect Xiahou Yuan received the news and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He found Wu Zhou, a counselor, and wanted to ask Wu Zhou about his idea.
This Wuzhou was from Zhuyi, Pei County, and his name was Bonan. He was a very famous scholar.
In history, he served as the Xia Pi Order and later became Zhang Liao's guardian. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he became the censor and became the official of Guanglu Dafu.
However, at this time, Wu Zhou was only a staff member of Xiahou Yuan.
After hearing Xiahou Yuan's doubts, Wu Zhou said: "I have heard that this Uncle Liu is unparalleled in courage and has many wise men around him, so he has achieved success now. However, he is alone now and has only one book boy around him, so it is not very useful. So I think that the general does not have to be too nervous. Sikong asked the general to take care of Uncle Liu. As long as he stays honestly in Yingchuan, why bother him to do what he does?
Before, he sent an old woman across the river, but Xu Du didn't seem to have any objection.
Now that he sent his tribe members to Jingzhou, there would be no big deal... As far as I know, there are many people from Jingzhou under his command."
After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan felt that what Wu Zhou said was quite reasonable.
But he still thought that Liu Chuang's series of actions seemed a bit abnormal.
"If the general is not at ease, he can send someone to visit Liu's mansion every day. As long as he is still in Yingchuan, nothing will happen. Why should the general worry?"
Xiahou Yuan thought about it and said that the same is true.
Cao Cao asked him to take care of Liu Chuang. Although he had an order saying, "If Liu Chuang had any abnormal movements, he could kill him without any recklessness," it was equivalent to restraining Xiahou Yuan and not acting rashly to Liu Chuang. Think about it, when Liu Chuang was in Xudu, even Cao Cao could not do anything to him. How dare Xiahou Yuan be unfavorable to Liu Chuang? Unless Liu Chuang had any abnormal movements... But Liu Chuang only sent two teams, and he was still in Yingchuan, so it seemed that nothing serious was wrong.
To be continued...
