Chapter 480 Tai Shici's Dilemma
"Captain, sir, Yuanshi County is in a hurry, and the prefect of Changshan has completely surrendered to Lord Benchu."

Jiang Yiqu appeared in front of Chunyuqiong and Guo Tu with a full face of joy.

Chunyu Qiong showed a satisfied expression after hearing the news. Guo Tu took it for granted and asked, "Where is the Black Mountain Army in the direction of Zhongshan?"

Thinking of the tenacious resistance of the three Zhongshan clans, Jiang Yiqu said with some annoyance: "The three Zhongshan clans are very powerful in Zhongshan, and Li Cheng, the prefect of Zhongshan, is also a cadre. What about in front of the city?"

Chunyuqiong looked at Guo Tu carefully, and said, "Gongze! Do you think we should send troops to the two counties immediately?"

Guo Tu shook his head lightly: "Don't worry, Liu Bei is far away in the grassland, Gongsun Zan is about to fight the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and Liu Yu in Youzhou is trying his best to appease the Xianbei tribes. We have plenty of time to wait for Li Cheng and the Zhongshan clan to beg us. Let the Black Mountain thieves understand that not everyone is qualified to compete in the Central Plains?"

Chunyu Qiong nodded straight after hearing this: "That's right, that's right, let these gangsters understand the meaning of the regular army."

Lucheng in Zhuojun County, Lucheng is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, but ordinary cities are still prosperous. In order to keep Lucheng, Liu Yu specially appointed the southern captain of Youzhou, and Tai Shici, a general close to Lucheng, was appointed as the captain. He ordered a school to stay in Lucheng permanently.

In just two or three years, Tai Shici went from a ranger in exile to a captain in charge of a school of soldiers (500 people), and he was in a prosperous place like Lucheng. He is most grateful to Liu Bei and Liu Yu.

With the continuous arrival of rescue messengers from Zhongshan and Changshan counties, Tai Shici was in a dilemma. For Liu Bei's plan, he should send troops, but for Liu Yu's plan, he should not provoke the Black Mountain Army, because there are also many Black Mountain troops in the North Taihang Mountains. .

In case the Black Mountain Army marches northward, and Gongsun Zan is not in western Liaoning, once the Xianbei cavalry marches south, Youzhou will be in danger!

Therefore, Han Juzi fled to Lucheng in embarrassment with dozens of cavalry. Tai Shici warmly welcomed him but ignored Han Juzi's request for soldiers.

"Captain, the old Liu family invites you to go."

Tai Shici was practicing martial arts to eliminate his dilemma, when his confidant suddenly came to report.

"Oh!"

Tai Shici put away his gun, took the towel and wiped his sweat, and asked casually, "Did the old Liu clan say anything?"

"No, the people who came just said that they invited the captain to the banquet."

The confidant said.

Tai Shici looked up at the setting sun, the setting sun was like blood, it was as beautiful as the battlefield in the west, what kind of banquet should we go to at this point?It seems that Han Juzi begged to go to the old Liu clan.

The elder of the Liu family is Liu Hun, the former patriarch of Lucheng. After Liu Bei moved Lucheng to Jinyang, the patriarch led most of the clan to follow him, but Liu Hun willingly stayed and waited for the ancestral hall, so he was respected by most of the clan and Lucheng people.

If Han Juzi really begged to come to him, Tai Shici would not be able to refuse, it seems that there must be a decision tonight.

"Come on, get ready for the bath."

"Here!"

After taking a bath, Tai Shici went to Lucheng Hou's Mansion.

Liu Bei and most of his clan left Lucheng. In order to show the filial piety of the elder Liu Hun staying in the ancestral hall, Liu Bei gave Liu Hun the residence of Lucheng Marquis Mansion.

Although Liu Hun is old, he is not confused, he naturally doesn't live in the back house of the Hou's mansion, but only lives in the side chamber, the gate of the Hou's mansion is not opened, and a small door is opened in the side chamber.

Although Liu Hun was old but had a high status, Tai Shici came to greet him once a month, so he was considered a frequent visitor to the Hou Mansion. The concierge naturally recognized Tai Shici, the most powerful man in Lucheng's military.

As soon as Tai Shici entered the door, he saw Liu Zhong and Han Juzi coming out to greet him.

Liu Zhong was dismissed by Liu Bei after the riot that night. He studied martial arts for a while, and then stayed at home all the time. Others went to Jinyang with his father, but he had no face to lead the army again, and stayed behind with Liu Hun. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and the prefect of Zhuojun recruited him to work as a thief Cao, and secretly became the intelligence leader of Zhuojun.

"Brother Ziyi, this Captain Han, you must already know him!"

Liu Zhong pointed to Han Juzi and asked Tai Shici.

Tai Shici nodded: "When Captain Han came for the first time, someone already knew about it, but someone is busy with work, so he hasn't had a good chat with Captain Han yet."

Han Juzi understood and said: "I know that the training tasks of the Lucheng Army are heavy, so I haven't bothered with the captain's mansion."

Tai Shici nodded, you didn't go, your servants blocked the door every day.

"Then today is a good opportunity. The two brothers should have a good chat. You have a captain of Changshan and a captain of southern Youzhou. The connection between Lucheng and Jinyang depends entirely on the two of you."

Liu Zhong said with a smile.

Tai Shici smiled wryly, and now he's just getting started.

Han Juzi said: "A certain dog has become a bereaved dog, and I hope that Captain Taishi will send troops to help."

Tai Shici said: "It's easy to say."

Liu Zhong mingled in it, and the three of them came to Liu Hun's residence all the way.

Liu Hun was nearly seventy years old, but his body was still healthy. He was working in a vegetable field he had grown, with a Confucian scholar beside him.

Looking from afar, Tai Shici couldn't see who it was, but the thin figure looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while?
"Someone has met the clan elders."

Tai Shici stepped forward to salute.

Hearing this, Liu Hun stood up, waved Tai Shici to get up and said, "Ziyi is here, come in quickly."

As soon as Liu Hun left, his eyes turned black and he fell down, the Confucian quickly supported Liu Hun, and Tai Shici also stepped forward to support Liu Hun.

Taishi Ciying glanced at the Confucian scholar, as if he was familiar with walking, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it?
The two helped Liu Hun back to the house.

Liu Hun was sitting on the teacher's chair, Liu Zhong took the tea handed over by the maid, and said, "Uncle, have you suffered from anemia again? Drink some sugar water."

Liu Hun nodded, feeling better after drinking sugar water.

"I'm fine now, Ziyi, Mr. Zhicai, and Captain Han, please sit down."

When Tai Shici heard Mr. Zhicai, he couldn't help but glanced at the Confucian scholar again. He had always heard that there was a counselor around Liu Bei who knew the world's affairs by playing with Zhicai. Could this be him?

Although Tai Shici was suspicious, he still said: "Clan elder, since you are not in good health, don't take care of this vegetable field by yourself."

Liu Hun shook his head: "The old man is getting old! He can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy. What if he can't even farm the land? What does it feel like if the old man is still alive? Ziyi doesn't need to persuade you anymore. By the way, you haven't met Mr. Zhicai yet. Bar?"

Tai Shici shook his head, Liu Hun said: "Mr. Zhicai is the most valued counselor of Lord Hou. Ziyi can communicate with him more."

"Donglai Tai Shici has seen Mr.

Tai Shici got up and said respectfully.

Xi Zhicai also got up: "Ziyi doesn't know XX, how can XX know Ziyi? A certain person deeply admires Ziyi's deeds of saving the Lord by riding alone."

"Sir, you are too modest. The main reason is that Bai Mubing is strong. I just ran into someone. Without someone, Master Hou would be out of danger."

Tai Shici didn't know that Xi Zhicai sent someone to fetch his mother, Xi Zhicai naturally didn't point out the truth.

Liu Hun listened to the greetings of the two, thumped the old man's waist and said: "I'm old! You can't admit defeat! I just work for a while and my whole body hurts. The four of you chat first, so I go to rest for a while, and I will be tired later." Eat here."

"The clan elders can go on their own."

The four of them said together.

Back from traveling, we will resume two shifts starting tomorrow, and after getting used to it, we will start at the third shift.
