Chapter 381 The Triple Legion Meets Unexpectedly
Jian'an 14th year (AD 209).

The sun in May was extremely hot, and it shone hotly on the dry and cracked path. The ground seemed to be baked by a fire, and a wave of heat rose up, making pedestrians miserable and sweaty.

On Hanchuan Road, there were many people rushing at noon.Under the scorching sun, the passers-by were out of breath and out of spirits, walking helplessly under the scorching sun.

Walking along this small road, you can reach Bajun in the middle of Shu, which is the passage to the middle of Sichuan by land. Although it is not prosperous, it is very strong.

The road to Xichuan is very dangerous. Ordinary people will not enter Sichuan at all unless there is a war disaster and they have to take a difficult journey to enter Sichuan.

However, this moment, that moment.Xichuan is located in a remote place with inconvenient transportation.It is a self-contained country, culture cannot be circulated, and technology cannot be exchanged, so the cultural level and technology there are quite backward.People who enter Sichuan want to be clean and free from war.But Cao Cao's army went south with a huge scale, and Xichuan was no longer a paradise, and people were panicked, three times a day.

The smarter people have already chosen the route of retreat. Before the war broke out, they went out to the territory of General Sun Can, hoping to keep them safe.

Therefore, there are a lot of pedestrians on this official road, and most of them leave Sichuan in groups.

Of course, there are also those who enter Sichuan, most of them are some traders who go to Xichuan to do business.Because Xichuan is located in a remote place and relatively backward, an ordinary book or a well-known technology in the Central Plains can be sold at a very good price in Xichuan.

A businessman who is good at taking risks and has a gambler mentality will naturally not let go of this great opportunity to make a fortune.

However, due to the dangers of the road, it is doomed that only some traveling merchants are willing to take the risk to make this windfall.

It was almost noon, and the number of people on the road gradually decreased. From a distance, there were only a few people on the mountain road who were still rushing under the scorching sun.When those people approached and looked carefully, they were all tall and big, leading a relatively strong horse, and the horse was carrying countless burdens of various sizes.Among them was an old man in blue.

The old man couldn't tell his age, his gray hair proved that he was over sixty years old, but his face was rosy, his temperament was extraordinary, and he didn't look old.The most memorable thing is that the old man's eyes looked like he was smiling, and the slight smile made people feel good.

I saw him sitting on a simple sedan chair, flipping through books and waving a cattail fan, very contented.

Their group is different from other passers-by.Not to mention the weird old man sitting in a sedan chair, the other strong men are also extraordinary.They were all dusty and sweaty, just like ordinary people, but in this situation, instead of complaining, they walked resolutely and walked quickly, which is surprising.

"Fan Shan, send someone to see if there is any place to rest in the sun. The weather is too hot, so don't suffer from heat stroke." After walking for a while, the old man suddenly put down his book and said to a healthy young man beside him .

The young man named Fan Shan responded, ordered the people beside him, and ran forward quickly. After a while, he came back and said: "Go back to the master, there is a mountain in front, and there is a tea shed opened by an old farmer in the mountain. Rest in the sun. However, the terrain is complicated..."

"Cough!" The old man interrupted the boy with a cough, and said in a low voice, "It's complicated, not complicated. Remember, I am a master who travels all over the world, and I have no other identity. And you are a guard, not Yu Wei. The deputy leader of the army. This is not a marching battle, there will be no army ambushing. In a short time, you can reach Berkshire. The prefect of Berkshire is a great veteran. It is impossible for there to be thieves here? Take it easy, be natural. "

This old man was exactly Liu Hua who volunteered to go to Xichuan.

Originally, Sun Can did not agree with Liu Hua coming in person. After all, Liu Hua was old and the road to Xichuan was extremely difficult and tiring, so Sun Can could not rest assured.However, Liu Hua wanted to come outright, and what he said was well-founded.

The trip to Xichuan was a matter of great importance. If it was to be successful, someone who could represent Sun Can must be sent there. There was no doubt that this person was Liu Hua.

With emotion and reason, Sun Can could not argue, so he had to send his own personal guards, the ace Yuwei Army known as "the number one man" to escort him along the way.

That Fan Shan was the deputy leader of the Yuwei Army. Originally, Sun Can intended to let Xu Chu escort him, but Xu Chu had already become famous all over the world, and Xichuan was troubled. Fan Shan protects each other.

"Everyone, act faster. There is a tea shed in front, and we will drink tea and rest there." Liu Hua reminded Fan Shan and then encouraged other soldiers of the Yuwei Army.

The hot weather had already made these soldiers sweat profusely, but the strict military discipline prevented them from saying a word. Liu Hua's words seemed to make them drink ice water in winter in the harsh weather, and they were cool from head to toe. The steps are more agile.

The tea shed was originally small, with only four broken tables, because it was the only resting place nearby.When Liu Hua and the others came, they were already full and there were no empty tables.

But this mountain depression is very big, there are towering mountains on both sides, the sun cannot penetrate into the mountain depression, so there is no shortage of places to rest.

Liu Hua and others came to a big tree not far from the tea shed, ordered a bucket of tea, and took a rest on the spot.

At this time, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes in the distance on the trail, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the col.The people who came were a group of soldiers in armor, about six or seven of them entered the col in an orderly manner.

Most of the tea sheds were traveling merchants, and when they saw these soldiers, they couldn't help showing a trace of fear in their eyes.In this troubled world, some soldiers are no better than robbers, and even more hateful than robbers.

However, they were soon relieved.These soldiers were different. Seeing that the tea shed was full of people, they didn't chase after them. Instead, they found a wide place near the tea shed to take care of it.

At this time, the old man in the tea shed said, "Everyone, don't panic, their soldiers, General Yan, will not do anything to harm our people."

The old man's words reassured the people in the tea shed, and they continued to chat and drink tea.

"It seems that this old general Yan is extraordinary. He can make the people feel at ease." Fan Shan looked at the soldiers vigilantly, and couldn't help but marvel in a low voice when he saw their swift actions.

"That's true!" A smile appeared on Liu Hua's face, "It's easy for a team not to disturb the people once, but not to disturb the people a hundred times. Yan Yan guarded Jiangzhou for more than ten years, and never disturbed the people. It's really not easy." After a pause, he said with a smile: "We are lucky, we met him before arriving in Jiangzhou."

"Who is he?" Fan Shan was puzzled.

"Relax! Yan Yan is coming!" Liu Hua suddenly shouted, looking at the entrance of the col.

Sure enough, an old general with white hair and beard appeared at the entrance of the col riding this war horse.

The old general looked around the valley, paused for a moment on Liu Hua and his party, and frowned slightly, revealing a strange expression.

Fan Shan sighed in admiration: "Sir, you are truly a man of God."

"Hehe!" Liu Hua said with a smile: "The group of people who just came in didn't take a break. Instead, they worked hard to sort out a place, obviously for a big man, and the leader of that group of people was not ordinary soldiers in armor. Leather armor is obviously a general who leads the army. If a general can open the way, the person must have a high status. In Jiangzhou, other than Yan Yan, no one else has this honor."

Liu Hua's gaze never left Yan Yan, seeing him dismount and walk to a place not far from him, he took the jug handed over by the soldier and drank with his head up.

"Gudong..." Fan Shan looked at Yan Yan and secretly swallowed his saliva.He was good at wine, but he had already drank all the wine he brought on the road, and hadn't tasted it for many days, seeing Yan Yan binge drinking, the worm couldn't help turning in his stomach.

Liu Hua glanced at Fan Shan and said with a smile, "Want to drink?"

Fan Shan nodded.

"Then you can ask Yan Yan to buy it!" Liu Hua said thoughtfully.

"I still don't want it!" Fan Shan shook his head hastily, "I don't say whether he will sell it or not, even if he sells it, don't cause this trouble. Anyway, it's almost Jiangzhou, so I can handle it."

Liu Hua said: "You don't know about this. You can ask him to buy wine. I can guarantee that he will buy us a drink, and there will be no trouble in Jiangzhou. If we don't pay attention to them, when we arrive in Jiangzhou, Trouble definitely ensues."

"What's the point of this?"

"Haha! Don't worry about the reasoning, just borrow it." Liu Hua laughed.

Seeing Liu Hua's insistence, Fan Shan didn't shirk anymore, got up and walked towards Yan Yan, explaining why he came.

Hearing Fan Shan's words, Yan Yan was stunned. Originally, he thought Liu Hua and the others were acting suspiciously, and planned to return to Jiangzhou to send people to investigate carefully to see if they were spies from princes of other countries.Didn't expect the other party to come over and buy wine from him?As a spy, you must first keep secret, and then you will interact with officials openly: "Could it be that I am too much? The other party is just a passerby with a relatively unique behavior?"

Yan Yan thought to herself, "Forget it, just go and try it yourself, so you can feel at ease."

Yan Yan said with a smile: "I still don't need some money for wine, brother, if you want to drink, just take it." He said and threw the wine pot in his hand to Fan Shan.

Fan Shan got the wine, thanked him when he arrived, and walked back with a smile, "Mr. God! Yan Yan really sent me a pot of wine." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to drink it.

"Boss, give me a drink."

"Boss, give me a drink."

……

Soldiers cannot play like ordinary people.In addition to killing people, they are drinking, women, training, chatting, these few things can be done, so all of them have a lot of alcohol addiction.

Seeing that there was wine in Fanshan, everyone asked for it.

Yan Yan drank most of the wine, there was not much left, how could Fan Shan give it to others, he drank all the wine in the jug in one gulp, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.

The others also sighed when they saw it, with depressed faces.

"Haha!" Seeing that everyone looked like they were dead parents, Liu Hua smiled again and said, "Don't worry, Yan Yan will send wine later, everyone will have a share."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Yan came over with nine jugs, "When you go out, everyone is a big man, and we should help each other. Just now, the little brother said that you should drink up all the wine on the road, and I just have some wine here." The rest, you're welcome, come, one pot for each person to cure alcohol addiction."

Yan Yan's words immediately won everyone's favor, and they all took the wine to express their thanks.

Liu Hua also took the pot of wine, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I have heard for a long time that General Yan is very heroic and friendly to the people. I didn't believe it at first, but seeing it today, I really feel ashamed."

Yan Yan smiled and said: "The old man is too modest. I only do what I do because I don't care about other people's opinions."

"Ha!" Liu Hua said with a smile: "It seems that the old man is seeing someone else, if you don't dislike it, why don't you take advantage of the chance that we met today and have a chat?"

"So, respect is worse than obedience." Yan Yan was overjoyed, he came here to test the truth, but he couldn't find an excuse to stay, Liu Huaxiang invited him exactly what he meant, and at the same time, he felt that he was too much filter.

Yan Yan looked at Liu Hua while drinking, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Liu Hua was not simple. The spy must also be a great person, and he couldn't help feeling a friendship, so he asked, "What's the old man's name?"

Liu Hua said with a smile: "My surname is Sun, and my name is Jing. My family is in Changshan, Jizhou."

"Changshan?" Yan Yan exclaimed, "It's several months away from here, old man, what are you doing all the way here?"

Liu Hua said: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Confucius traveled all over the world to become a saint of Confucius. Lao Tzu Li Er traveled thousands of miles and wrote a "Tao Te Ching", which has been passed down through the ages. I dare not compare with these two saints. But I also studied hard for more than [-] years, and read more than tens of thousands of volumes. I felt that there was nothing to learn from the books, so I followed the example of the two sages to travel around the world, and it has been more than [-] years."

Yan Yan showed shock. If this person is telling the truth, he must be a great fairy.

Yan Yan got up and Liu Hua bowed deeply, "The old man has great ambitions, Yan Yan is beyond the reach of everyone, please accept the next bow."

Liu Hua said with a smile: "Old General Yan is too polite, if you are so out of touch, you and I don't need to talk about it today."

Yan Yan dared not speak anxiously, his tone and expression were full of respect.

The chat between the two also gradually moved to a more advanced level, and the more they talked, the more out of control Yan Yan was shocked by Liu Hua's knowledge, no matter what it was except for some "inexperienced" military issues, no matter what the rest He can speak clearly and logically.

In particular, the analysis is on political and military cases in history, with comprehensive thinking and thoughtfulness, which almost made Yan Yan overwhelmed.

"Old man, Yan Yan dares to ask, what is your opinion on today's major events?" read!)
