After climbing hundreds of winding stone steps, several people came to the mountain village. Under the leadership of the boatman, Liu He followed him into a lobby.

Just as they were about to sit down, the two of them followed in.

"Hey, this time I sent troops, I finally had no danger."

"Yes, how dare we be enemies of Cao Cao on weekdays? Today, we have killed so many of his soldiers. It's so fucking pleasure."

Liu He looked at them and saw that both of them looked in their thirties. One was tall and mighty, extremely rough, while the other was slightly thin, but had a stubborn face and a scar on his cheek, which looked a bit ferocious.

However, after seeing Liu He, both of them became awe-inspiring and saluted respectfully, and Liu He immediately returned the salute.

At this time, the boatman also took off his straw hat, but he was a young Confucian scholar wearing a silk scarf. However, this man was tall and had a bright eyes, and he did not look like an ordinary literati.

"Please sit down with a distinguished guest."

Among the three, he seemed to be headed by this Confucian scholar. He pointed to a seat. Liu He was not polite and walked straight over and sat down.

"I would like to thank you three. I will repay you for your life today. I will repay you in the future. I just don't know the names of the three honorable names?"

When he said this, he realized that he had sat down, but the three of them did not sit down, but stood respectfully in front of him.

"The grass-roots people pay homage to Your Majesty, I wish my emperor all blessings and peace."

Liu He was shocked: "The three of you have known this long ago. In this way, is it necessary to have made arrangements for help today?"

The man with a scar on his face said, "Master, when it comes to this matter, it depends on our military advisor's clever plan. He had expected that Your Majesty, you would have this disaster. Therefore, yesterday, I ordered us to prepare the ship early and buy all the plowing oxen from dozens of nearby villages. Hey, this time, it consumed most of the money and food in the village..."

"Ahem..."

The Confucian scholar hurriedly interrupted him, and the man seemed to realize that he was talking too much, so he stopped.

Liu He looked at the Confucian scholar in surprise: "How can sir be able to predict the future?"

The Confucian scholar said respectfully: "The grass-roots people are not predicting the future. They just rely on some clues to guess Cao Cao's plan. Then they ordered the brothers in the village to inquire everywhere, and found that General Cheng Liang and His Majesty had left Luoyang one after another, so they became more and more determined, so they made many arrangements."

"Oh? What clues are there?" Liu He became interested.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. The village was originally in Woniu Mountain. It was suppressed by Cao Cao a few years ago, so I fled here. It happened that the Cao army was fighting with Your Majesty's King's Army and had no time to take care of it. Our village had more than 10,000 lives, so that we could protect ourselves. Since then, we have paid attention to the movements of the thieves everywhere, to protect ourselves, and to find an opportunity to serve the court one day."

His words were both high-sounding but extremely sincere, which made Liu He feel very pleasant to hear.

"Well, that's the truth, what about after that?"

"Cao Cao lost in Runan that day and was defeated by the two generals Zhang Yong and Gao Shun. Caomin knew the character of Cao thief. This man was ambitious and very intelligent, so he was expected to have a revenge, so he ordered people to sneak into the city and inquire more."

"Until three days ago, Cao's army suddenly mobilized many times. He secretly transferred most of the defenders in the city bordering Yingchuan County at night, and replaced them with the guards. At the same time, another camp outside Pingyu City was set up to support each other. Based on this, the people of Cao knew that he must have a treacherous plan and wanted to plan to deal with His Majesty."

Now, even Liu He was a little shocked: "What happened? What the sir said is that Cao Thief knew that I and my third brother would come to Runan at least three days ago?"

The Confucian scholar shook his head: "The thief Cao may not know whether Your Majesty will come, but General Cheng Liang is probably already under his plan."

Liu He lowered his head and pondered: "Well... Mr. Jing said this, I also felt something strange. My third brother was banned by me for half a year and had always been at peace with himself. In this battle in Runan, the fourth brother was injured. I have had a strict order to not inform him of this. His wife is also a lady from a noble family, well-educated and well-versed, and she is so ignorant that she could leak news? What's even more strange is that there are guards inside and outside the mansion. If no one answers, just relying on the third brother alone, if you want to escape from the mansion quietly, you will bring weapons and war horses with you. It's really impossible. But I was worried at the time and didn't expect it."

"That's it." The Confucian scholar said: "It must be the thief of Cao. General Cheng Liang was invaded by the general. When the news came out, General Zhang Yong would not be able to bear it. Even if he was seriously injured and was bedridden, he would personally lead his troops to seek revenge. In this case, he would not be the enemy of Cao. General Zhang was seriously injured and was defeated again. Isn't it a great opportunity for Cao's army to die at that time. At that time, Cao's army was in the limelight, and the court lost two good generals, and Your Majesty lost two brothers. Isn't it a great opportunity for Cao's army?"

"What a good Cao Aman, who is vicious and vicious, no one in the world can do anything to his right. I will kill him sooner or later."

Liu He was furious when he heard this.

His expression suddenly changed, he looked at the Confucian scholar and looked him repeatedly.

"Sir, based on these clues, can we infer what happened today, and make many arrangements. First, we will use the fire bull to rush forward to save us and break through, and lead us here to use the trap to repel Cao's army. Such a clever mind is unparalleled in national savages. There are two heroes, who are also very skilled in martial arts and very brave. I want to use three, but I don't know the identities of the three?"

After hearing his words, the two strong men showed surprise on their faces, but the Confucian scholar suddenly knelt down.

"Your Majesty is kind and loving the people and is a wise monarch for all generations. It is a great blessing for us to serve Your Majesty. Moreover, Caomin and others are all guilty. This time, they are just atonement for their sins and dare not ask for rewards from Your Majesty."

"The body of sin? How can this be explained?"

The Confucian scholar pointed to the two strong men: "These two brothers were both remnants of Taiping Road back then and survived by chance. In his early years, he avenged his friends and killed people in the street. Later, he was rescued from the court. From then on, he abandoned martial arts and followed suit, but eventually committed a death sentence. We only asked Your Majesty to forgive the guilt, so we were already grateful."

Listening to his remarks, several names immediately emerged in Liu He's mind. When he contacted the place name Woniu Mountain mentioned by the Confucian scholar just now, he believed in his guesses even more.

"Is the surname Xu?"

The Confucian scholar was shocked: "Your Majesty...How did Your Majesty know?"

Seeing that he admitted this, Liu He immediately smiled and said, "Haha, I not only know that your surname is Xu, but also that your name is Xu Shu and his name is Yuanzhi. He committed a murder case six years ago. Since then, he has changed his name and devoted himself to his studies. And these two people with scars on their faces must be Pei Yuanshao, and the other one must be Zhou Cang and Zhou Yuanfu, right?"

The three of them seemed to see some monster and monster, stared at Liu He with wide eyes, so surprised that they could not speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you are so amazing. You even know the details of our brother's name clearly. If you don't say it, the villain will be convinced, completely convinced."

Pei Yuanshao knelt on the ground with excitement and kowtowed repeatedly, Zhou Cang also looked excited and frightened.

Xu Shuman was shocked: "How could Your Majesty know?"

Liu He waved his hand and said, "As the emperor, I have many princes and the court, so it is naturally necessary to find out the news. As for the identities of the three, someone happened to have heard one or two of them. I just looked at it. I felt that what Mr. Xu said just now, and I searched it in my mind, so I learned it."

"So that's it. Your Majesty is a true god and a man, and the people are worshipping him."

Xu Shu bowed down to bow.

"Haha, stop talking about me, but Mr. Xu, how could you get together with these two heroes, even enter their village and become military advisors? This is a strange thing."

Liu He knew that after Xu Shu killed someone, he changed his name to Shanfu and came to Jingzhou to study. He made great friends with Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others, and was also one of the "Four Friends of Zhuge".

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were robbed in Woniu Mountain until Guan Yu rode alone here thousands of miles away. Pei Yuanshao sent troops to rob, but Zhou Cang recognized Guan Yu, so he killed Pei Yuanshao and followed Guan Yu.

Therefore, Xu Shu and these two people should have been out of touch with each other, but then appeared in the same mountain village, which made Liu He puzzled.
