Chapter 300 The Battle of the Building (8)(2/2)
Jia Shao said: "I even heard that the Ying clan had transferred the troops from the northern border of King Li, entered Yanmen Pass, and approached Taiyuan County.
Although Zhang Er and Chen Yu have improved a lot there, it is probably not easy to resist the troops in the northern border."
Wang Li, have you entered Yanmen Pass?
Liu Kan was so excited that he was chilling, "When will Wang Li enter Yanmen?"
"I give you a detailed reward, about thirteen days ago. Now I'm gathering in Mayi, I'm afraid I'll attack at any time.
The military officials had given up most of Taiyuan County, gathered their troops and stationed in Julu County, preparing to fight to the death with Wang Li's troops. Chen Yu of Dai County and Zhang Er of Handan also mobilized their troops again. But I guess, with their current situation, it is unlikely that they will have a chance of winning."
"So, we need to speed up!"
In Liu Kan's memory, Zhang Er and Chen Yu were indeed not Wang Li's opponent.
But it is precisely because of this reason that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, became famous.
"Immediately send someone to Pei County to inform Wu Chen and Ren Ao and ordered them to speed up the evacuation. We must cross the river, cross Hengshan and bypass the Great Wall, and enter Beidi County before Wang Li captures Taiyuan. As long as we arrive at Beidi County, we will have a flat horse in front of us."
Although the reason was not clear, everyone responded in unison.
"Mr.!"
Shusun Tong seemed to remember something and stood up and said, "I want to leave for a while."
Liu Kan was stunned, "Leave?"
Shusun Tong said seriously: "There are countless things that Junhou needs to face when he arrives in Jiuyuan County. The internal affairs alone are enough to make it difficult for the Junhou to resist. Although Junhou has the help of Cao Shengong, he is only one person after all. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Jiuyuan, you need a large number of talents.
I have some friends who are good at government affairs and are well versed in the law.
I am going to go on a trip and ask them to come out to help... If the chaos in Guanzhong occurs, it may affect the fish in the pond, so I need to make plans early."
Cao Shen was on the side and nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.
After all, Jiuyuan County has a vast land that is far from comparable to Lou Cang. The population is twenty times that of Lou Cang, or even more than thirty times that of Lou Cang.
Being able to manage the building and warehouse well does not mean that you can manage Jiuyuan well.
More personnel are needed, otherwise Cao Shen alone will be exhausted to death.
"Since that's the case, then I'll bother Mr.!"
Liu Kan bowed to his uncle Sun Tong, "I sent Mr. Xiao Ha to accompany him. He knows Guanzhong very well and is also very alert.
If he protects me, I will be more or less at ease in my heart.”
"That's great!"
Shusun Tong stood up, "But, besides Xiao Ha, I need to accompany you alone... But I wonder if Junhou can give up Sima Xi?"
"Sima Xi?"
Liu Kan looked at Shusun Tong in confusion: "If Xizi is willing to accompany her, I naturally have no objection. But I don't quite understand why sir wants Xizi to follow her?"
"There is nothing else. This trip to Guanzhong can broaden your horizons along the way.
After Xizi lost his arm, he has been working hard. As for his studies, Xizi has nothing to learn. He needs to practice all the way and increase his experiences."
Liu Kan nodded, "If this is the case, I have nothing to say. I still have the same words. Xizi is willing, so I naturally agree."
Everyone then discussed the matter for the next period of time.
It was not until late that they each dispersed. Liu Kan got up and was about to go to rest, but unexpectedly, he was stopped when he left the door.
"June, stay!"
Liu Kan Xun looked at it and it turned out to be Cao Shen.
He walked to Liu Kan and bowed his hand to show his respects. He seemed to have something unspeakable to hide.
Liu Kan couldn't help but wonder, "Old Cao, what do you mean by being hesitant? You might as well say bluntly... You have been in contact with you for more than ten years. In front of outsiders, you call me a lord. But in my heart, you are still the old Cao who was drinking with me in the Pei County prison and drinking together.
Brothers, don’t hesitate and say, what’s the matter?”
Cao Shen is a person who is quick to act but not good at speaking.
Even now he is a father, he is still the same. He blushed and said for a long time: "A Kan, I want to plead with you."
He changed his previous name and was not called the Lord and Lord, but the name of Liu Kan.
This made Liu Kan's heart suddenly feel warm.
He immediately hugged Cao Shen's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Old Cao, it's so good. What kind of love do you ask me for? Could it be that you did something to bully men and dominate women?"
"Shh!"
Cao Shen's face turned redder and he said nervously: "A Kan, don't talk nonsense. If my wife knew about it, she would definitely not let me go easily."
Cao Shen is a guy who is afraid of his wife!
This is not a secret in Lou Cang...
Liu Kan smiled and said, "Then what kind of love do you ask me for?"
"Xiao, Brother Xiao... Now you are a prisoner under your rank, what are you going to treat him?"
"You mean, Xiao He?"
Liu Kan then remembered that Wu Chen had sent someone to report that he had taken Xiao He and his side also took him away when he captured Pei County.
Wu Chen also said: "Xiao He has the talent of a prime minister, so he really cannot bear to kill him.
Now that Junhou wants to do big things, he needs people like Xiao He to help. If Junhou agrees, I am willing to persuade Xiao He to surrender."
But Liu Kan was busy with the battle between Lou Cang at that time and did not reply.
Later, when the Chu army was at the city, all his attention was focused on the war and left Xiao He's affairs unconsciously behind him. Perhaps, Liu Kan really didn't know how to treat Xiao He. This person... was just somehow he was left in Pei County?
Today, when Cao Shen mentioned it, Liu Kan suddenly realized it.
Xiao Gui Cao Sui... The relationship between Xiao He and Cao Shen is like a brother or a master and apprentice. Therefore, it is normal for Cao Shen to plead with mercy.
Liu Kan thought for a while, "Old Cao, what do you think I should deal with him?"
"Brother Xiao is not a bad person. When he was in Pei County, he didn't intend to make things difficult for you... Some things are just... they can't help themselves!"
Cao Shen blushed and said softly: "Including this time he was in charge of Liu Ji, I'm afraid he had to do so. He had been to Lou Cang several times before and admired Junhou very much. Akan, speaking of this, we all came from Pei County, and I hope you can spare his life because of the friendship between fellow villagers."
"When will I say I'm going to kill him?"
"ah?"
Liu Kan looked at Cao Shen in surprise and whispered: "I just don't know what to say. I have always respected Mr. Xiao's character and talent. He devoted himself to making profits for the villagers of Pei County. He gave up several opportunities for promotion... It's a pity that there were too many misunderstandings between us. You also know that when I left Pei County... I was determined to invite him out, but I didn't know how to speak."
Cao Shen looked at Liu Kan in surprise, "A Kan, do you mean, you won't kill Mr. Xiao?"
"I'm a wise man like a teacher who is a talented person. I can't ask for advice, so why do I say "kill"? That's it. Lao Cao, please go on my behalf and visit Mr. Xiao in Pei County... If he is willing to work together to plan a big thing, Liu Kan is willing to treat him as a national scholar... If he is unwilling to help me, I won't make things difficult for him. I just ask him to be wronged for a while and wait for me to evacuate Pei County and give him freedom again."
When Liu Kan said this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Xiao is a great talent, it's a pity that I can't use it for me!"
"Don't worry, I'll go to Pei County now and I'll convince Brother Xiao to come and serve you... If he doesn't want to, I'll tie him up to see you."
Looking at Cao Shen's anxious and weird appearance, Liu Kan couldn't help laughing.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask you!"
