Chapter 307: Long March (7)

Li You did not bring too many men, only a thousand cavalry.

However, among these thousand cavalrymen, there were more than a dozen large carts, all of which were pulled by war horses, rumbling as they ran, with great momentum.

Thirty miles outside Dunqiu City, Liu Kan Guanying and Li You met.

As the Qin army was running rapidly, a whistle suddenly came from the Qin army. More than a thousand war horses stopped in unison and quickly set off their formation.

Li Youziqin flew out under the door of the flag, met Liu Kan and closed the reins.

The Qin army was quiet without any sound.

Liu Kan is a little confused. What does Li You mean?

So he urged him to go forward immediately, and the red flag was placed across the saddle bridge. He bowed to Li Youyi and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, can you be together for many years?"

Li Youze took off the collar and looked at Liu Kan quietly.

Just when Liu Kan was about to endure it, he suddenly sighed and said softly: "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation. Things are unpredictable. When Luoyang parted, I thought you and I could all be successful, but I didn't want to fall into such a world.

My father... committed suicide!"

"ah?"

Liu Kan couldn't react all of a sudden and looked at Li You in surprise, "Prime Minister Li..."

Li You nodded, "After my father was framed by Zhao Gao and was sent to the Heavenly Prison, Zhao Gao was afraid of his Majesty's inquiry, so he tortures and tortures day by day. My father is old and cannot bear such humiliation. A few days ago, he asked a prison guard in Xianyang to send a message saying that he had no idea of ​​his life and was preparing to forgive the late emperor for his death... My father asked me to make arrangements early, but as the old Qin prince consort, what can I arrange?"

Li Si, is he dead?

Liu Kan couldn't help feeling inexplicably sad.

Is it for Li Si? Or is it because of others? Liu Kan couldn't say it. At this moment, he was in a mixed mood and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Mr. Li came here today just to tell me about this?"

Li You's cheeks twitched, and he urged him to move forward a few steps, whispering: "Young Master, is it really gone?"

Liu Kan nodded but said nothing.

Li You sighed and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, please come today, and you are not hostile. When my father left, his heart felt withered. The imperial edicts for me have no meaning... The reason why I stayed here is just because of my father's dying instructions."

I think that when Li Si was dying, he always felt guilty in his heart.

If he hadn't been timid and greedy for power, and joined forces with Zhao Gao, how could he have the current situation?

He died in vain, but he hoped to retain his vitality for Guanzhong, so he let Li You stay in Sanchuan County as a compensation.

"I know very well my father's intentions."

Li You said: "Actually, I had a desire to leave, but before, my father's family's lives were all in my hands, so I couldn't escape. Now, my father has left, but Zhang Han's troops have controlled Sanchuan, so I can't escape. I'm not to regret my death, but the Li family cannot escape.

My father gave birth to my brothers, and I now have two sons and three daughters...

Junhou, I heard that you want to go north to Henan, so I have been paying close attention just to the meeting today, and I really want Junhou!”

It was vaguely, Liu Kan seemed to understand Li's purpose!

Li You raised his hand and waved forward, but the cavalry suddenly moved aside to both sides, revealing a path.

More than a dozen big cars came slowly and stopped behind Li You.

Some of the more than a dozen young men and women, some holding their children in their arms, walked off the cart. Li You also dismounted and bowed to Liu Kan to the ground, "You beg to ask the Lord and the Lord to ensure that the incense of the Li family continues to rise. If the Lord and the Lord can agree, you will have a huge gift and I wish to present it to you."

Among young men and women, the largest one is similar to Liu Kan.

"This is my eldest son Li Ying. He also participated in the Battle of Henan in his early years, but he was not the same army as the lords. This is my second son Li Chinen was 21 years old and was familiar with the law. He served as the chief secretary of Luoyang ruling. His eldest daughter Li Yan and his eldest son-in-law Bai Zhu (pronounced Zhu); his second daughter Li Sui and his son-in-law Meng Xu were originally appointed as the young supervisor of the Shaofu, but was later transferred by his father to Sanchuan County and served as the magistrate of Xingyang County; his youngest daughter Li Xing, this is her husband Bai Wu.

Bai Wu was a brother of Atractylodes, who was good at medicine and was once the Imperial Physician Chief; Bai Wu was good at farming, and was originally the Neicheng of Mian.

Now I want to entrust you to the Lord and Hou, please do not refuse..."

Li You said and waved his hand, "You are waiting, why don't you pay homage to Mr. Guangwu!"

Liu Kan also dismounted at this time. He was a little confused by Li You's move.

Several men and women stepped forward one after another, "Greetings to Mr. Guangwu, please take him in!"

"Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

Liu Kan was a little rushing and looked at Li You and said, "Brother Li, what are you doing?"

If Liu Kan had some concerns about Li You earlier, then now he has been less wary. Listening to Liu Kan's regaining his name in Luoyang, a bright smile appeared on Li You's face. He took two steps forward and held Liu Kan's hand.

"Brother Kan, I'm very happy that you can still call my elder brother."

"Let them all get up quickly and say something."

"You have not thanked you for taking in me!" Li You shouted, and the children of the Li family said thank you one after another, and then stood up.

"Although Brother Kan is young, he is like a brother to me.

In the future, you will follow Brother Kan and follow his orders to serve the king and the lord as if he were to me."

"The child (daughter) keeps his father's teachings in mind!"

Li You took Liu Kan's hand and shook it hard.

This is entrusting an orphan!

Liu Kan couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, why not go north with me?"

Li You shook his head, "Everyone can go north, only I can't go north... Brother Kan, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me on the south bank of this big river? As soon as I leave here, all kinds of soldiers will be pursued. Zhao Gao now blocked the news of my father's death, thinking I didn't know; but he never relaxed his guard against me. I can still stabilize all sides of the world, including Zhang Han."

"But……"

"Brother Kan, I also know that the situation is not good, but I can't leave.

If I leave with you, maybe I will still implicate you, and even my family will not be able to save it. Moreover, my here is a major factor in checking and balancing the south of the river. If I leave, Henan will be in chaos... Although I hate Zhao Gao, I cannot ignore the people of Sanchuan."

Liu Kan, I don’t know how to persuade Li You.

Li You just patted his arm and pointed to the cavalry and said, "These cavalry are all composed of my private soldiers of the Li family. The king and marquis go north and need people to work. Most of them are from the northern border. Now they are given to you, which is my wish. Thank you for protecting the incense of my Li family."

After saying that, he took a letter from his arms.

"When you go north, you must pass Taiyuan County.

At that time, you can hold this letter and find Shejian, the chief general of the Qin army stationed in Fen River, and hand it over to him. After reading the letter, Shejian will not make things difficult for you."

"Brother Li, you'd better go with me."

Li You smiled, and did not continue to entangle with Liu Kan on this issue, but just patted his arm, then turned around and looked at his children.

"It's getting late, you can go back soon.

If one day you can return to Xianyang, please collect the bones of my father's family and bury them at Shangcai Dongmen, thank you very much."

Shangcai is Li Si's hometown.

Liu Kan nodded vigorously, saying that he would agree.

Li You reminded his children for a while before he turned over and bowed to Liu Kan: "Brother Kan, I wish you a bright future in the northern border, and I hope you will never have a chance to go there!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head, beat the horse and whipped it away.

More than a hundred cavalry flew out from the cavalry and followed Li You away.

Li Ying and others, with their brothers and sisters, knelt on the bank of the river, kowtowed to Li You's back as they walked away several times, and tears were pouring like a spring.

Liu Kan walked to them and helped everyone up one by one.

"If the county magistrate wants to be kind, don't be too sad, otherwise you will let down the painstaking efforts of the county magistrate in vain.

Li Ying, you will be the one who will lead the cavalry for the time being, and I will stay with me to support the formation; the rest of the people will immediately rush to the Dunqiu Ferry and cross the river overnight!"

"We are willing to obey the orders of the Lord!"

The children of the Li family bowed and bowed together, got on the car and horse, and headed towards Dunqiu.

"Brother A Kan, will there be a fraud here?"

Guan Ying came to Liu Kan and whispered in a low voice.

Liu Kan shook his head, "Why do Li You need to use such a strategy at this time? If he really wants to be detrimental to us, he just needs to come and it will be difficult for us to resist.

The most heartbreaking thing is to die. I believe that the governor Li is already in a state of despair now…”

From the grand Qin prince-consort, he was about to become a minister who was destroyed.

The villain in charge of the court was in power, and my father committed suicide in prison. If this were not the case, how could Li You have such thoughts?

Liu Kan sighed and stepped onto the Red Rabbit Horse, "Old Guan, let's go back too... Li You has chosen his path, and we still have to follow the path we have set and continue to move forward!"

Guan Ying nodded vigorously!

At the end of April, Wang Ke raised an army to rebel against Qin and declared surrender to the King of Chu.

In the same month, Liu Bang issued an imperial edict in Nancheng Township, Langya County to the world, and supported the son of the King of Chu Mi Xin (also known as Xiong Xin), as the King of Chu.

He was really lucky. After Pei County was lost, he fled to Xue County with his defeated general and his family. However, he did not want to plunder Xue County. When he met the King of Chu, Zhang Liang was in Yingchuan and organized his troops to make trouble, but was not by Liu Bang's side. With the King of Chu, Liu Bang's mind became alive again. The Liu surname was originally a side branch of the 18 surnames of Jingchu. If he stretched out a few poles, he could be regarded as the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. He began to think about what would happen if I supported the King of Chu and called the world in the name of King of Chu?

Xiong Xin lived a hard life in Xue County and made a living by herding sheep with others.
