Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Destined
Lu Zhi's letter was only a few short lines, and there was another line below it, which was Cai Yong's signature, and his handwriting was scribbled, which shows that he was very flustered at the time.

Although the two did not make Liu He insist on rescuing Cai Yan, and said in the letter that they tried their best to deal with each other, Liu He understood the importance of Cai Yan to Cai Yong.

Cai Yan's literary talents far surpassed that of her sister, especially in the field of piano art, she was even more intelligent, and her talent in this area even surpassed that of Gu Yong.

When playing the qin, Cai Yong often sighed that if Cai Yan was a man, he would be born out of blue. He loves this daughter even more than his own life. Now he hears that he was taken captive by the Huns, and his mood can be imagined.

While Liu He was frightened and angry, he lamented that God's will tricks people. Historically, Cai Yan was kidnapped by Yu Fuluo when her husband Wei Ning died and returned to Ning.

Cai Wenji was taken outside the Great Wall by Yu Fuluo and gave birth to two sons. It was not until Cao Cao unified the north that he spent a lot of money to redeem it, and wrote "Eighteen Pai of Hu Jia" which was a life of sorrow.

This time Liu He took Cai Yong to Youzhou, thinking that Cai Yan could survive the disaster and start a different comfortable life of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Unexpectedly, the fate was such a coincidence that history would repeat itself.

As if destined to have such a catastrophe, Cai Wenji happened to fall into the hands of the Huns again.

"What a bold Huns, let's go and kill him now." Zhang Fei was the first to roll up his sleeves and start a fight.

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "The Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains and plundered the people. This is an unforgivable crime."

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. Saving people is a major matter. Don't be hasty. You need to think about it in the long run!"

Cheng Yu signaled everyone to calm down, and asked Zhang Yun to take Guan Zhang and others out first, leaving only Jia Kui and Han Long in the room, and they could deploy after asking about the situation.

After Yu Fuluo hijacked Cai Yan, he asked the accompanying servants to report to Youzhou, and put forward two conditions: first, Cai Yan should be exchanged for millions of hu grains; bit.

When the room became quiet, Cheng Yu glanced at Liu He, as if to comfort him, and said, "Since Yu Fuluo has put forward conditions, at least it means that Miss Cai is safe for the time being and will not be harmed by thieves."

Jia Kui said: "After the Xiongnu killed Qiang Qu Shanyu, they supported Xubu Gudu as the new Shanyu. Yu Fuluo was the son of Qiang Qu, so he also established himself as Shanyu. Originally, he wanted to go to Luoyang to ask His Majesty to send troops to restore the country. .

Unexpectedly, there was a great turmoil in the court, so we plundered in Hedong, but we repelled it. Yu Fuluo returned to the country and was rejected by the Huns, so he moved around in Hedong and Hanoi.

Now that Marquis Xubugu died of illness at the beginning of the year, the Xiongnu Shanyu's position is vacant, and only the old king acts as the agent of state affairs. Yu Fuluo's move is probably because he is worried that he will not have enough strength to inherit the Shanyu's position when he returns home. "

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "The Xiongnu retreated to the Taihang area, and they must return to Bingzhou to join the Xihe Xiongnu. It's just that Yu Fuluo's move was intended to be so, or was someone deliberately manipulating it, or even secretly planning it?"

Liu He's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, you mean Yuan Shao or Han Fu, are they targeting me?"

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Miss Cai crossed Hebei from Puyang, and Yu Fuluo was far away in Hanoi. How did he get the news, and how did he get to Liyang so easily? There are so many coincidences, it's really unimaginable."

Jia Kui also nodded and said: "Hu people are plunderers by nature, they have always killed indiscriminately, they only rob property, but this time they took Ms. Cai hostage and left, and put forward many conditions. It is indeed very different from the past."

After some analysis, Cheng Yu and Jia Kui felt more and more that their guess was correct, and said to Liu He: "There are still many things that are not clear about this matter. Yuan Shao and Han Fu hated the general for a long time. The troops were deployed to intercept, and when they saw the general turning to the east of the river, they set up another plan to make the general have to return to Shangdang, if so, they should think twice."

Jia Kui also reacted abruptly, and exclaimed: "Zhong De's words are reasonable. If the general returns to Youzhou and pacifies Bingzhou, he will bear the brunt of the pressure on Jizhou. Han Fu's move is to get rid of the general and then hurry up! "

"Hmph, a mere Han Fu also wants to plan big things?" Liu He sneered, and said, "I'm afraid that Yuan Shao's secret manipulation is behind this matter, and Han Fu is nothing more than a chess piece after all."

Jia Kui said: "Since this is Yuan Shao's conspiracy, the general should proceed with caution."

"People must be saved, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the trust of the elders?" Liu He clenched his fists tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I originally planned to return to Jinyang from Shangdang, but now I am diverting my troops to Hedong. Since Yuan Shao , Han Fu's scheming so painstakingly, just happened to take Shangdang together, and Yuan Shao's conspiracy, he would never succeed."

Cheng Yu Nianxu murmured: "I'm afraid that going to Shangdang will be dangerous. The general might as well send Guan Zhang and others to rescue them, and don't personally take risks."

"This matter is related to Cai Wenji's safety, so I have to go there myself!" Liu He had already made up his mind, and said, "I will lead the elite soldiers from Wangwu Mountain and enter Changping through Baixing. Party, you can try to save people."

Cheng Yu knew that Liu He couldn't be dissuaded, and said: "There are so many black bandits in the Taihang Mountains. They claim to have millions of them in a year. Zhang Niujiao died at the hands of the general. The fearful bandit army remembers their previous hatred. The general will leave now. Be careful of black bandits."

Liu He said with a smile: "To save people, even though it is dangerous, I will not give up. Otherwise, what face will I have to go back to Youzhou? If the Black Mountain bandits don't come, they will return. If they come to die, Taihang Mountain will be their burial place. "

Cheng Yu was a decisive person, and immediately said: "A soldier's speed is valuable. The general is determined to save people, so he should go quickly. The bandit army's news is slow, and it's too late to gather a crowd. They can cross the dangerous road of the Taihang earlier."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Liu He nodded and said, "I've intercepted a lot of property this time. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo won't let it go. I don't worry if Yun Chang personally transported it. Sir and Yun Chang led troops northward, and after reuniting with Yan Liang, Divide up and go south, join me at Shangdang."

Cheng Yu said: "Now that Hedong is pacified, it is useless for Xu Rong to stay in Jiguan. You can order him to go north to Taihang to meet the general at the Duan clan. At the same time, he can also prevent Yuan Shao from sending troops to attack."

Liu He asked Cheng Yu to deliver an order, ordering Zhang Fei to select [-] elite soldiers and prepare for departure in half an hour.

Then he wrote another letter and handed it to Han Long, instructing: "You send this letter to Yu Fuluo, and say that his terms are negotiable, but don't hurt Miss Cai, after the letter is delivered You stay and protect Miss Cai first."

"Obey!" Han Long bowed to accept the order, and asked after a pause: "If there is a chance, can I assassinate Yu Fuluo and rescue Miss Cai?"

"Miss Cai is weak, and unless it is absolutely necessary, she must not take any risks." Liu He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This matter is still related to Yuan Shao and Han Fu. I want to capture Yu Fuluo alive and find out who is behind the scenes. .”

"Understood!" Han Long had no time to rest, went to the camp to get some dry food, and rushed to Jizhou without stopping.

Half an hour later, in the light autumn rain, Liu He led the people to leave Yong'an and rushed to Yicheng.
