Chapter 360: A game of chess in the country (9)

The first snow in Heluo in early winter fell at noon.

Liu Kan performed Tai Chi in the courtyard, put on a bright yellow robe, and sat in the courtyard.

In a small red mud stove, the charcoal fire was burning. The blue flames rushed upwards, surrounding the bottom of the porcelain pot on the stove.

The spout was steaming, adding a bit of warmth in the courtyard.

Liu Kan skillfully fiddled with the tea set on the tea tray in front of her, with a faint smile on her face.

This tea set was created by Baman in Xianyang by craftsmen. The tea is covered with jade dew and the fragrance is pleasant. Baman also knew that Liu Kan had good tea, so he ordered people to send these things to relieve Liu Kan's pressure. With the arrival of early winter, the situation in Guanzhong has gradually stabilized.

Ying Guo seemed to be still hesitating and only sent someone to Xianyang to say that he was not feeling well, so he was unable to leave.

Her hesitation gave Baman enough time to calm down all forces in Guanzhong. Especially after the Tang army continued to enter Xianyang, many Guanzhong people who were loyal to Lao Qin had their thoughts and honestly expressed their surrender to Liu Tang.

This is exactly the situation Liu Kan hopes to see!

"King, an envoy came to Xianyang."

Fan Kuai stared at the wind and snow, walked into the courtyard, and intervened to salute.

"Come on your behalf!"

Liu Kan quickly ordered, and at the same time he was surprised that Xianyang sent someone over at this time, was something happening?

He hesitated for a moment and ordered: "In addition, go to the camp outside the city and ask Mr. Zifang to come to the mansion for a lecture."

"drink!"

Fan Kuai took the order loudly and turned around and left.

It's strange that if this person had hope, his spirit would be very different. Now Fan Kuai is completely different from the situation when he just came to Mianchi that day, and he is much more energetic. Many people in Chu are "noo no", but after coming to Guanzhong, they unknowingly learned the habit of the Qin people responding.

The Qin people responded to their orders and often shouted to show their pride.

If Liu Kan hadn't known Fan Kuai's background, he would have regarded him as a serious Guanzhong person!

He was sighing in his heart that two people came in outside the door. The leader was wearing white cloaks and floating belts. He turned out to be Lu Jia, who was ordered to guard Shaanxi County. Behind Lu Jia, there was another person. When Liu Kan saw this person, he couldn't help but curl up his lips and a smile appeared on his face.

It's Lu Wan!

After Liu Bang's death, Lu Wan surrendered to Liu Tang under Xiao He's persuasion.

He is now acting as a minor official under Xiao He's sect, and although he is a little haggard, he seems to be good at looking at his spirits.

Seeing Liu Kan, Lu Wan seemed a little afraid.

He bowed to Liu Kan behind Lu Jia, "The criminal Lu Wan, bow to the king."

"Ha, it turns out it's Brother Lu Wan, please sit down."

Liu Kan is now in the throne, and he has long since taken the grudges of the past. Since Tang Li's death, Liu Kan has often missed his old friends in Pei County. When they fought with Zhaoyang Daze together, there are only a few people who survived, and they are even more intimate.

"Dr. Lu, why are you here?"

Liu Kan looked at Lu Jia and asked in surprise: "Is there something wrong with Shan County?"

"Everything is fine in Shan County. Lantian Camp has been rested. The Prime Minister's Office ordered the ascetics to lead their troops to take action. Prime Minister Xiao ordered Lu Wan to send a letter and asked me to come to Mianchi quickly."

As he spoke, Lu Jia took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Kan, "Left Guardian Eagle General Li Zuoche, together with General Zhongli and Guan Ying, report it together."

Liu Kan took the letter and signaled Lu Jia and Lu Wan to sit down.

He shook the letter and read it carefully. His face was a little gloomy at first, but slowly... it burst into a bright smile.

After seeing it, he suddenly laughed. At this moment, Zhang Liang stepped into the courtyard with a curtain raised, and when he saw Lu Wan, he was stunned first, then nodded slightly, greeted Lu Wan, and bowed, "I heard the laughter of the king outside the door. I wonder what happy things are there?"

"Junior room, please sit quickly."

Liu Kan said, handing the letter to Zhang Liang, "This is the news sent by Li Zuoche, Dai County, to send someone to him... Ha, Kuai Che really lives up to my high expectations."

Zhang Liang looked at the ten lines at once, finished reading the content of the letter, stood up and bowed, "So, I congratulate the king, congratulate the king."

Putting the letter on the long desk beside Liu Kan, Zhang Liang said with a complicated expression: "When I first served under the command of the king, I heard that the king was full of talents. Kuai Che was as handsome as Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and Li Zuoche was worthy of the descendant of Wu'an Jun. It was indeed well-known... However, I also heard that there was still one person around the king, and he also had the talent of heaven and earth, but I don't know where he is now?"

"Zifang said, but Daozi?"

Zhang Liang smiled but refused to answer.

Liu Kan said: "Daozi has other important tasks now, not in Guanzhong. However, if Zifang wants to see him, he will be fine in another three to five months."

What is the priority?

Zhang Liang won't ask.

He said: "Since Zhao Xie has been surrendered by Mr. Kuai Che, it seems that he will not be able to take action in a few days.

Mr. Xiao He ordered Doctor Lu to come from Shaanxi County at this time, could it be..."

Zhang Liang said and looked at Lu Jia.

Lu Jia nodded and said, "The Prime Minister said that the king has now restrained the Chu army, and his goal has been achieved.

Now Shandong Qi and Wei are ready to move, and the Chu army in Pengcheng is empty, and it is only the time to launch. As long as the two generals Li Shaojun and Zhongli and Guan Ying succeed, the entire Hebei land will be in the hands of the king. However, there is still another fire in Henan."

"It seems that Mr. Lu is just going to be the ignition person."

Liu Kan said with a smile: "Since the Prime Minister has made proper arrangements, Mr. Lu just let go. But there are many twists and turns to the road to Wei State... In this way, let the Tu Zi lead his troops to go with you, so that there will be some care along the way. I am here to wait for the good news."

"In this way, I will leave immediately."

Lu Jia immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Kan.

Lu Wan also completed her mission and said goodbye to Liu Kan with a complicated expression.

When he reached the door, Lu Wan suddenly stopped and turned his head and said softly: "Master, I have a saying, "I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Mr. Lu, please speak."

"Actually, this question is not something I want to ask, but... When I was in Pei County, Liu Ji was very fond of the king. If it weren't for the sister-in-law, would you like to join forces with Liu Ji?"

Lu Wan's questions have actually changed.

His original intention was to say: When you were in a downturn, Liu Ji wanted to recruit you many times. But why were you always hostile to Liu Ji?

Liu Kan was stunned!

Sometimes even he himself can't explain the matter between him and Liu Bang.

It is undeniable that Liu Bang is indeed a very charming person. But he doesn't like it! He came from later generations and learned a lot about Liu Bang from various channels. Liu Bang may be really a person who has not been able to do great things, but he is mean and ruthless, and is not favored by Liu Kan. Even to some extent, Liu Kan hates Liu Bang a little, which has been aware of it from the beginning.

Unlike Tang Li, Shen Shiqi Cao Wushang's disgust towards Liu Bang was different, and Liu Kan's disgust was subjective.

But at that time, although Liu Bang was lazy, he seemed to have no special flaws...

"A real man does something, but he does not do anything... I am different from Liu Ji, and I don't plan to do anything, and I have nothing to do with Azhi."

Lu Wan did not ask any more, and after giving a deep gift, he retreated.

Zhang Liang whispered: "Master, please don't blame Lu Wan.

Although he was presumptuous, he was also a kind person. After Liu Ji died, he was the only one who dared to worship him except the Prime Minister and others."

Liu Kan was stunned and smiled and said, "Mr. Zifang doesn't have to be too careful. I didn't blame Lu Wan, but I just remembered some past events."

Zhang Liang nodded, but suddenly changed his subject, "Li Shaojun's letter has been on the road for many days. Now that I think about it, I'm about to take action."

"ah!"

Liu Kan came back to her senses, calculated the time carefully, and whispered: "I'm afraid it's only been these few days!"

The wind and snow are fierce!

The wind blowing from the north bank of the Huochi River made a sharp roar when it passed through Jingxing Canyon, as if it was a ghost crying and howling.

Long Qi led the cavalry, crossed the canyon in the strong wind, and rushed straight to the Zhao State camp on the north bank.

The wind blows the snow, covering the world in a vast white.

From afar, Long Qi could see the vague outline of the barracks. The howling wind covered the sound of horse hooves...

Long Qi was ecstatic, grabbed the halberd in his hand and urged the horse to gallop.

Seeing the military camp getting closer, the drums suddenly sounded loudly and the horns were clamoring.

On the white snow, a piece of snow suddenly appeared, followed by a white shield wall, lying in front of the military camp.

Between the cracks of the shield wall, bright long hair poked out, aiming at the galloping Chu army. It was too sudden, the situation was too sudden... The war horses were frightened, and Xi Yuyu neighed wildly. The neat cavalry team suddenly became chaotic, and many soldiers were overturned by the war horses and fell on the snow.

"Shoot the arrow!"

A cold shout came from a tower.

The red military flag on the upper floor swayed up and down in the wind and snow, followed by a sound of bowstrings, buzzing... The sky full of arrows and rain poured over.

The arrows with all three-edged arrows broke through the air and let out a roar, like the howling of thousands of wolves.

Long Qi couldn't help but change his face and shouted in horror: "Canglang Arrow Formation, this is the Canglang Arrow Formation of the Qin army!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound coming from behind. Long Qi couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction where the sound came, but saw nothing. There was no way, the wind and snow were too heavy, but vaguely, he seemed to see a fire rising into the sky in the direction of Jingxing Canyon.

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately woke up and fell into a fool!
