The blood-filled Wang Zhi's face burst out with blue veins, gritting his teeth, like a crazy beast, using the last bit of strength in his body and swung his knife out.

"Ah-kill!"

The roar was like thunder, poured into the broken ring-headed sword wound.

The confrontation between the surviving ring-headed sword and the sharp spear was like a young man teasing a young man who could not move.

After a few clangs, everything returned to peace.

In just one round, Wang Zhi's burly body was overturned by Ma Tie and fell into the pile of hideous corpses powerlessly.

Even though Wang Zhixin had a huge sense of fighting, his body was no longer able to support it.

"Wang Zhi, you can't do it anymore! Take refuge in me, I will protect your life!"

Ma Tie moved the spear in his hand away. He was so proud of his talent that he couldn't bear to kill Wang Zhi.

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous shout suddenly came not far away with the sound of rolling horse hooves.

"My brother, you don't need to use such means to buy it!"

And accompanied by this sound was a team of fierce and sharp cavalry.

They were like wind swaying in the wind and clouds, and no one under their horses could stop their pace.

Ma Tie's face suddenly changed, but he didn't have time to do anything.

The extremely fast soldiers rushed to pieces with less than a hundred men around him.

If the mountains do not turn, the water will turn, and the feng shui will take turns too fast.

What happened to Wang Zhi just a moment ago fell on Ma Tie in a blink of an eye.

This situation is so similar.

This team of cavalry, which was obviously dusty, had the combat power of jackals, and everyone's face was very fierce.

Ma Tie, who was born in Liangzhou, naturally recognized that these are all people from the northern border of Liangzhou.

In every move, there were only soldiers from the bitter and cold areas on the frontier.

Dozens of spears pointed at his body, Ma Tie smiled bitterly and slowly lowered the spear in his hand.

After taking a look, Wang Zhi was lying on the side dying.

Ma Tie whispered, "Your life is very good!"

I don’t know if he was feeling that this coincidence had reached its extreme or whether he felt that Wang Zhi had followed a good lord.

"Tie! Because you didn't kill my brothers, I won't kill you either."

Liu Yunchen shouted and walked quickly towards Wang Zhi.

"Wang Zhi, Wang Zihan, open your eyes and you are saved! Let me pant, you will not die." Liu Yun raised Wang Zhi with difficulty and shouted loudly in his ear.

This grandson must not sleep!

"Wang Zhi, have you heard it? This is a military order! Military order!" Liu Yun shouted loudly.

Wang Zhi's weak pulse and breathing made Liu Yun's heart tighten.

Come quickly, he doesn't want to see such a result.

Wang Zhi, you can't die!

If you can't die, you haven't followed me to fight the world.

Wang Zhi...

Slowly, Wang Zhi's eyes, covered by solidified blood, slowly opened, and a silly smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Lord... lord, subordinate... incompetent, incompetent..."

"I can't help but you, don't talk! I'll wait for your injury to recover, don't worry, you won't be in trouble, you won't be in trouble." Liu Yun roared anxiously and shouted to the personal soldiers beside him, "Come here, hurry up! How many medical workers in Xiangwu City can I find as many as I have! Immediately."

"Here!"

The horses around me are galloping, and the war that should continue is still continuing.

However, Ma Tie was captured, and the remaining scattered soldiers were no longer enough to achieve success.

...

Two days later, the snow in Xiangwu City was eliminated.

Under the blue sky, Liu Yun and Gai Xun sat opposite each other in the courtyard, with tea on their left and wine on their right.

Wine is distilled, and tea is found from the government office, which are rare things.

"Lord, Nangong Ting, why don't you find a chance to kill him!"

Gai Xun said with a hint of sleepiness in the winter with a rare warm sun on his back.

Liu Yun savored the very luxurious tea leaves carefully and asked casually: "Did Mr. Gai notice what's wrong with him?"

"This person has a backbone and is embarrassed to use it!" Gai Xun said.

It's very direct, and there's no reason.

Liu Yun smiled, "It turned out to be Mr. Gai's intuition, but this person is indeed unbearable, but he cannot be killed now. Last night, he sent someone to send a letter to Han Sui. He did not intend to betray us, so he was the nail arranged by Han Sui by Ma Teng. It's too early to pull it off now, so wait."

Gai Xun raised his head and took a sip of wine, but did not say anything, which was accustomed to Liu Yun's statement.

"The old bird and mouse fought with the cave mountain and beheaded thousands of people. Ma Teng was so angry that he was becoming more and more pretending to be competing! Are you not afraid of drinking like this and choking yourself?" Liu Yun said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gai Xun suddenly turned over and coughed violently, and his face turned red and became Guan Yunchang.

During the break of coughing, Gai Xun glanced at Liu Yun and said innocently: "If the lord didn't say that, I wouldn't have done this."

"Hahaha... Mr. Gai, I'm just telling the truth. You're drinking like that, although you look cool, it's only a matter of time to be choked." Liu Yun couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, the old man didn't hear that, and Liu Yun actually scolded him.

"Cool?" Gai Xun asked in confusion. He didn't understand these strange words that popped out of Liu Yun's mouth from time to time.

Liu Yun knocked on his forehead with his finger, thought for a while and said, "It's the posture is good, you can also talk more in the future."

"Cool, cool..." Gai Xun read it seriously several times, and he remembered it when he saw it.

Just make a joke, Liu Yun immediately said seriously: "Old Gai, now we have cut off half of the county in Longxi. I intend to ask the old Gai troops to station in Shouyang and lead the barriers to the county and Xiangwu. What do you think?"

Hanyang, the land of Longxi, is Gaixun's old territory.

He was more familiar with the complex ethnic forms here and was quite prestigious among the Qiang, Di and other tribes.

Liu Yunsi thought about it and wanted to calm this place, I am afraid that only Gaixun would be available, except him.

Gai Xun had no objection, and he said directly: "Just follow the lord's orders."

"That's it. What other requirements does Mr. Gai have?" Liu Yun asked while praising the tea.

Gai Xun squeezed out the last drop of wine, licked his lips, and said, "There is no requirement for the guardian side, only one. Please ask the lord to set up a school in Hanyang and Longxi."

Liu Yun couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "As far as I know, when Mr. Gai was in Hanyang, he did not agree with this matter! Why do he propose to establish an institution now?"

"At one time and another, Song Xiao and other incompetent people thought that letting every household copy the "Book of Filial Piety" would allow the people of Liangzhou to understand benevolence and righteousness. What's more, when bandits were rising, they were not doing extraordinary things, and they were just a bad pen! But now there is a lord who is responsible for this area, establishing a school, and educating the people."

Gai Xun said slowly, with a lot of emotion in his expression.

Liu Yun couldn't help laughing. Although Gai Xun is old, learning things is really fast.

Sometimes he can't help but swear words, the old man has now learned the essence.

Liu Yun thought about Gai Xun's request and agreed.

Building schools and improving cultural quality is something that local governments should and must do.

Although in Liu Yun's opinion, everything is still too early to do this.

In the era of frequent wars and no food, how many families are willing to send their children to study?

But since Gai Xun proposed it, Liu Yun agreed and set a foundation in advance and could try it out.

"Old Gai, there is another thing. I need the craftsmanship of each county and township. I need as much as you want. If you suffer a lot, you will send them all to Izumo Mountain." Liu Yun thought of this and said.

When everything is in trouble, in Liu Yun's eyes, craftsmen are the first to productivity.

Gai Xun replied with a smile: "This matter does not require the lord's care, so Xun should do it yourself."

My lord has had several workshops on Izumo Mountain, and Gai Xun has heard about it in the past two days.

It is said that this is now the most novel place in Hanyang County.

Salt farms, papermaking workshops, garment workshops, etc.

Gai Xun was also curious and planned to take a look if he had time.

"I wonder how the lord plans to settle Nangong Ting?" Gai Xun suddenly asked again. He was still thinking about this person.

To be honest, Liu Yun has not thought about the arrangements of Nangong Ting yet.

After only a few days of surrender, his rebellion was so obvious that even the handle fell into Liu Yun's hands.

If he is left to some important position, it will be a big disaster.

But Liu Yun also wanted to use this person to do some small moves. If he didn't arrange a similar one, it would probably arouse his alertness.

By then, the wife and the army would be lost.

Liu Yun pondered and shook his head, "I don't have any plans yet."

"How about it, how about you arrange it under the lord's account?"

Gai Xun said, took out another pot of wine and looked at it, and reinstalled it.

He cherished the wines that Liu Yun made with very rough means.

It's much more satisfying than what he used to drink.

Gai Xun's words suddenly woke Liu Yun up, "What do you mean is that you are not going to implement your power if you don't implement your power?"

"That's probably what it means." Gai Xun said in a daze.

Liu Yun's fingers hit the stone table and thought for a moment, "Well, then do that."

With a bitter smile, Liu Yun continued, "Actually, I don't care about this person. What I worry most is Ma Teng!"

Gai Xun did not understand what Liu Yun said, and suddenly said loudly: "My lord, be content. With me Gai Xun in one day, Ma Shoucheng would not have thought of crossing the Shouyang step. At the end of the day, he could issue a military order."

Liu Yunsuo waved his hand and said, "Old Gai misunderstood. What I am worried about is Ma Wenlu and Ma Tie! But it is almost the same thing. Ma Teng's son and daughter are now in my hands. Guess what Ma Teng will do?"

"This matter..." Gai Xun couldn't help but hesitate, "If this matter is handled properly or there is profitability, if it is handled poorly, it will be a war."

Liu Yunquan said indifferently: "Now we are in war with Ma Teng, what else is there to be scary? With these two hostages in hand, we actually have a greater initiative to Ma Teng. What I am worried about is how to use these two people to get the greatest benefits for us. The value of these two people is not small at all."

No matter how many children Ma Teng has, he will never ignore Ma Tie and Ma Wenlu.

He will definitely find a way, and he must be many times more anxious than Liu Yun.

Liu Yun remembered that it seemed that Ma Tie was born to be hostage. He seemed to have been in Cao Cao's hands for a while and later died.

"Lord, you may be able to force Ma Teng to fight Han Sui on the whole line. It will be the best for us to completely mess up the pot of water in Liangzhou." Gai Xun said in a divine manner, "And Ma Teng must agree. Although he and Han Sui were once fellow comrades, they are now incompatible with the fire. If there is no other situation, it will be a matter of time before the war begins."

When Gai Xun is serious and uses tricks, he is particularly cute.

But Liu Yun was still hesitating. Influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his impression of Ma Teng was actually quite good.

He didn't want to break up completely. Even though the battle started and snatched someone else's place, he still had a chance to make a comeback. But if he really followed Gai Xun's suggestion, it would be difficult to talk to Ma Teng again in a friendly manner.

"Forget it, I'll wait a few days for this matter. I've sent a spy to Didao to see Ma Teng's reaction first." Liu Yun thought about it and said.

Gai Xun fiddled with the wine bottle and suggested: "My lord, you must be in trouble."

Liu Yun also knew this truth.

But what he is considering now is not just about Ma Tie, the two people. The top priority is how to use these two good chess pieces to maximize his own interests.

Benevolence or something is not something to consider at this time.

"Talk with Ma Teng!" Liu Yun suddenly looked up and said.

After thinking about it, it would be better to put this matter on the negotiating table and see Ma Teng’s conditions.

Gai Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "The lord may need a clever aide! Moreover, he also needs to know how to maximize the lord's interests, territory, money, or become a spear in his hand."

"What do you think Mr. Gongsun?" Liu Yun asked.

Gai Xun stood up and faced Gongsun Lu who happened to walk into the garden. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Perhaps no one can understand better than Mr. Gongsun, so the benefits the lord is asking for are maximized, haha."

Gongsun Lu laughed and bowed to Gai Xun, "I've seen General Gai!"

Then he said to Liu Yun: "Lord, Wang Zhi has woken up."

"You guys talk about maximizing interests. I'll go and see Wang Zhi!" Liu Yun was overjoyed and said quickly.

Liu Yunfeng rushed into the inner courtyard in a hurry, leaving Gongsun Lu who looked confused.

“What is maximization of benefits?”

"What I guess is that the lord can get more things, what does Mr. Gongsun think?"

"I have never heard of it!"

"That's it, Mr. Gongsun and Xinxun's interpretation."

...

Liu Yun was in a hurry and almost ran into Wang Yuner who happened to come out.

"Oh, Yun'er, long time no see, are you awake?" Liu Yun asked anxiously.

Because of the first meeting, Wang Yuner blushed when she saw Liu Yun many times after that.

She nodded gently and said in a thin voice like a mosquito, "I just woke up."

"I'll go and see, stand here and don't leave, wait for me! Then again, Yun'er, what's wrong with you? I seem to have been hiding from me recently, and I'm afraid that I will eat you, why are you?" Liu Yun looked at Wang Yun'er who didn't dare to look up at him, and specifically reminded him.

This girl has been seen in the past six months and can count the number of times Liu Yun has seen her.

The shyness on Wang Yuner's face instantly seemed to be as thick as the sunset that could not be melted. She twisted the corner of her clothes and nodded gently.

Liu Yun walked into the room filled with medicine with satisfaction. Wang Zhi lay on the couch like a zombie.

Seeing Liu Yun come in, Wang Zhi wanted to get up to greet him, but Liu Yun raised his hand and held it down.

"You can't move, so how do you get so many vain gifts? How do you feel now? Is it better?" Liu Yun asked.

Wang Zhi pulled a reluctant smile on his lips and said, "It's been much better if you're in trouble. Yun'er told me just now that I've been lying for two days, but I really shocked me. I was sleeping very energetic. Now I feel that I can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."

"You should be more at ease and recover from your injuries. Let me tell you some good news. We won a great victory and successfully won Shouyang, Xiangwu and the county in Xiangwu!" Liu Yun said with a smile.

Liu Yun felt that Wang Zhi should be the first to know about this news.

But he became the latest person to know.

The excited smile on Wang Zhi's face just rose, but suddenly became dimmed again.

"It's a pity... those more than two thousand brothers, they died unjustly, please punish the lord."

Liu Yun patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault for this, I blame me. You were originally pretending to attack Yuzhong, but I suddenly ordered to run for hundreds of miles and attack Xiangwu! The soldiers were exhausted and were neglected to guard at night, which caused trouble. I blame me!"

This battle caused such tragic losses.

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Yun could only blame him.

Wang Zhi's troops attacked Yuzhong for two days, and then rushed to attack Xiangwu again. The horses were probably exhausted, let alone people.

Liu Yun lost more than 2,000 people in one battle, and he felt miserable when he thought about it.

That was more than two thousand lives, although Liu Yun had sent Gongsun Lu to send money and food to the families of these soldiers in the past two days.

But these soldiers can never come back.

The general was incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops. This was why Liu Yun tried every means to dig up Gai Xun.

"Lord..." Wang Zhi choked and called down, but couldn't say anything.

Liu Yun comforted and said, "Recover your wounds well, and I will wait for your mighty spirit to show again!"

Wang Zhi sat up and bent down at Liu Yun with a solemn expression.

Everything is indescribable.

After explaining to the doctor, Liu Yun walked out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard and feeling the warm sunshine, Liu Yun felt an indescribable depression.

Nowadays, it is no longer a small fight on Mount Izumo.

At that time, his troops of less than a thousand people were now tens of thousands.

The territory has expanded several times in just a short period of time.

"Lord, you have to ask the maid to be here, but if you have something to do, you have to give me instructions?"
