Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1035 Frontier Town, Old Farmers Don’t Talk to Foreigners
Three days later, after repair and treatment, Liu Kun, his father and his son and a group of soldiers recovered their strength, and Liu Kun approached them, preparing to say goodbye and leave for Jixian.

Although this is a military garrison, the environment is good, but after all, it is in a dense forest, and the residents are mainly soldiers. Even though the Xuanjia Army has corresponding health regulations, because there are too many soldiers and horses, plus many livestock, It's inevitable that there will be some odor and the like.

Liu Kun was used to fighting guerrillas in these years, but his son endured it quite hard. After saying goodbye to Chen Wu, Liu Qun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few years, although Liu Qun had been helping Liu Kun, he did not spend much time in the military camp for long periods of time. He mainly dealt with civil affairs.

On the other hand, it was also the Xuanjia Army that put too much pressure on him. It seemed that even his breathing was much heavier. However, Liu Kun also arranged several tasks for him, so that the young master of the aristocratic family had to fight with the soldiers who smelled of sweat. Staying together and secretly gathering information was a bit unbearable for him.

Now that he was saying goodbye and leaving, the situation was different. Liu Qun immediately felt relaxed physically and mentally, feeling relieved.

"If we can stay for a few more days, we may be able to get more information about the Xuanjia Army. When they fought against the Huns, they were not only well-trained and courageous, but the armor on their bodies was also quite tough. It seemed that they were not strong enough. It affects the action, and the weapon in the hand is also sharp, I don't know if it came from the workshop in Daijun."

In comparison, Liu Kun felt a little pity. Sitting on the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh. He obviously wanted to stay at the post for a few more days, but he also knew that he had to see Chen Zhi as soon as possible. Other things They all have to be put back.

Liu Qun said: "There is no result in staying here. The child hangs out with the soldiers, drinks wine, eats meat, and inquires about information. Only then do he realize that despite the fact that the Youzhou Army is called the Black Armored Army by the outside world, every soldier is completely intact." They are all black armor. In fact, there are many differences in them, such as gold-ridged iron armor, plain armor, muddy copper armor, and black patent leather armor. They are all different. For example, those who captured Liu Wei and Jin Kang in the end were Wear light leather armor!"

"Are there so many differences?" Liu Kun nodded first, then frowned, "Since you have found out the news, why didn't you tell Yu Wei's father quickly and delay it until now?"

Liu Qun shrank his neck and replied forcefully: "This is not because I want to find out the information clearly and organize it to avoid any falsehoods." This is of course an excuse. The real reason is because Liu Qun knows that if he reports back as soon as possible, If Liu Kun becomes interested, he might be forced to stay for a few days, and then Liu Qun will suffer.

In the past, Liu Qun would not have done anything like this, but as he escaped from danger and saw the tyranny of the Youzhou Army, his mentality changed. Although the tyranny of the Xuanjia Army put heavy pressure on him, he could It also gave birth to a sense of security, which made Liu Qun lose his sense of urgency and even his original thoughts. After seeing the combat power of the Youzhou Army, the ambition that relied on his father was extinguished a lot, and another vague idea was slowly brewing. thoughts.

Urged by this thought, he wanted to leave the border post more and more and go to the center of power in Youzhou.

Seeing his son's thoughts, Liu Kun shook his head and did not say anything. He just said: "Chen Wu means that he wants me to go with the carriage and horse escorting Liu Wei, so that I can have a guard, but my father plans to leave with me." Take a walk around Youzhou, take a look, and see what it looks like now and how different it is from what I saw back then."

Liu Qun said, "I'm afraid there's not much difference. Didn't my father come here six or seven years ago? It's because he, the Chen family, is in charge of politics, but he can strengthen the military. In other aspects, he must make way for the military strategists. Therefore, even if the withering is good, there won't be any great progress." He didn't want to spend too long on the road.

Liu Kun shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Since I met Chen Wu, I have talked with him in the past few days, and I can hear the dissatisfaction hidden in this man's words. He has a lot of resentment towards the civil servants in the General's Mansion. The reason is that the current situation Youzhou is dominated by civil servants, doing business, focusing on agriculture, and promoting craftsmanship by hundreds of craftsmen, even neglecting the military. If it looks like this, Youzhou may not fully support military affairs..."

"It's definitely a pretense!" Liu Qun shook his head and gave a decisive conclusion, "How ferocious are the Xiongnu soldiers and horses? They were immediately defeated when they encountered the Xuanjia Army. It can be seen that Youzhou's troops are strong. If such combat power is not the result of full support, , but was suppressed by civilian officials. Doesn't that mean that once Youzhou prepares for war with all its strength, the surrounding forces will be vulnerable? This is absolutely impossible. With such combat power, who would stay still? Could it be in the eyes of the Youzhou army? , is there anything more important than sending troops to quell the rebellion?"

Liu Kun responded in silence, originally agreeing with his son's judgment because it was in line with common sense, but what he saw and heard in the past few days made his common sense and cognition begin to waver.

"As long as you travel around Youzhou, you will know what is going on. You can't hide it from anyone," Liu Kun said. Seeing that his son was about to speak again, he shook his head and said, "As a father, I am also anxious to see General Chen, but I can't hide it from anyone." What about after the meeting? We have to find a way to settle down after all, so we need to make some preparations. We won’t go too far. We just walk, look, and wander along the way, observing the customs and customs of Youzhou, and we can discover General Chen’s thoughts from it. When we meet, we have something to say." As the father and son talked, the carriage they rode in was moving forward, accompanied by personal soldiers. There were many soldiers sent by Chen Wu to protect them, but these people did not wear black A, just an ordinary soldier's attire.

More than an hour passed quickly.

When the conversation between the father and son came to an end, the driver's voice sounded out——

"Master Fu, there is a small town ahead, should we stop and take a rest?"

This driver was also one of Liu Kun's soldiers. He knew what his master was thinking. The implication of his words was that he wanted to ask if he should stop the car and explore the local situation.

Liu Kun was a little surprised: "We have arrived at a village now? The road is too smooth. Could it be that the roads built by Youzhou are repaired every day?"

The closer the road is to the frontier, the more soldiers and horses are walking on it, and the greater the damage rate of the road. But just now, the carriage and horses were driving smoothly. The Liu family and his son were talking in the car, and there was almost no feeling of bumps. They were reminded that they had arrived at a village. It suddenly dawned on Liu Kun that he was surprised.

Liu Qun didn't think so much, and urged: "No need to stop, we have to find a county seat to stay before the sun sets. Here..."

But before he finished speaking, Liu Kun stopped him.

"The chariots, horses and soldiers will rest here. I will take a few people to see the town."

"promise!"

After Liu Kun's order, Liu Qun had to accompany his father in despite the boss's reluctance.

The town in the distance is indeed small and remote, not far from the border, but the town is very lively, as soon as you walk in, you can see many merchants selling goods.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here. I don't know why."

Liu Kun was puzzled. Seeing more and more people coming and going, he felt more and more strange. Liu Qun looked around and found an old man enjoying the shade at the corner of the street. He saw that he was an old farmer, so he went over to ask.

Unexpectedly, the old farmer glanced at a few people and said with a smile: "Sir, you want to find out the truth about our Youzhou. I'm sorry, please go back. The old man is old, but he is not stupid yet. No." We will tell outsiders about our news!"
