Liu Yu walked slowly forward along the bluestone slabs. There were not many people walking on the street at this time, but most of them had smiles on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu felt warm in his heart.

It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. This is not just a slogan, but also a silent history of blood and tears.

Since Liu Yu brought him into this world, he has seen the scene of bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles too many times. He went from being heartbroken and unbearable at first to gradually becoming numb.

He knew that no matter how hard his heart became or how cold his expression became, the blood in his heart had never stopped boiling.

It was in this city, on the bluestone streets, that he had made his vow.

I want everyone to have their own land!

I let everyone live with dignity!

I want to make the Hu people tremble in fear when they see the Han people!

I want the Chinese nation to always stand at the top of the world!

He has been working hard and struggling with this simple idea. He believes that with his status as a relative of the Han royal family and his insight that transcends his time, the final result will surely be achieved.

While Liu Yu was lost in thought, the two of them had already arrived in front of a small courtyard.

There is a decoration at the gate of the courtyard, with two small trees, which looks solemn and peaceful.

Liu Yu signaled Xu Chu to present his business card.

Not long after the business card was delivered, a man walked out quickly from the yard.

Cai Yong, dressed in Confucian robes, had a head full of white hair, but he was still in high spirits. He looked at Liu Yu and saluted hastily.

"Cai Yong pays respect to Uncle Liu. I have not thanked him in person for saving my life that day. Please accept my greeting."

After saying this, he was about to pay great respect to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu walked up quickly, held Cai Yong in his arms, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, there is no need to do this. Mr. Cai's talent is rare in the world. Keeping Mr. Cai is to retain talent for the Han Dynasty. I am not worthy of Mr. Cai's gift."

Cai Yong wanted to bow again, but was held back by Liu Yu. Seeing Liu Yu's firm attitude, Cai Yong had no choice but to give up. He bowed and welcomed Liu Yu into the courtyard.

This house is the one that Cai Yong lived in. Dong Zhuo set fire to it and burned everything in the house. Now everything is rebuilt according to the original appearance.

Liu Yu looked at the familiar small bridge, flowing water, rockery and flowers and plants, as if he was in another world. That year, he wrote "Jin Jin Jiu" at Wang Yun's banquet and was praised for his great talent.

Because of this incident, he was called to Dong Zhuo's house to compete with Cai Yong, and thus he became acquainted with Cai Yong. Later, Liu Yu came to visit Cai Yong in this small courtyard.

Cai Yong smiled and invited Liu Yu to take a seat. He handed a cup of tea to Liu Yu and said, "Although I live in seclusion in a small courtyard, not caring about worldly affairs and concentrating on compiling history, news about the emperor's uncle still unconsciously reaches my ears. Now that the emperor's uncle's military power is growing day by day, I believe it won't take long for him to take Yuzhou."

Liu Yu drank a cup of tea and said slowly: "Ru'nan County is the base of the Yuan family, with a strong military force. It is not easy to capture it. To be honest with Lord Cai, I have not set out these days because I am worried about the affairs of Ru'nan County."

Cai Yong smiled and said, "If the emperor's uncle wants to revive the Han Dynasty, he will have a long way to go. Yuan Gonglu is not very resourceful, but the emperor's uncle is very wise. It won't be long before Yuzhou falls into the hands of the emperor's uncle."

Liu Yu smiled bitterly and drank a few more cups of tea before he slowly said, "Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the princes are rising up, it is not easy to revive the Han Dynasty. Yuan Benchu ​​is eyeing Luoyang from the north, and Cao Mengde has the same idea. These two are heroes of the time. Being watched by them, I am always on guard, like a thorn in my back."

When Cai Yong heard Cao Cao's name, he was slightly startled. He admired Cao Cao's talent very much. When he was in Luoyang, he took good care of Cao Cao and respected him highly.

He knew Cao Cao and knew that he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty. How could he possibly capture Luoyang as Liu Bei said?

"Uncle Liu, although Cao Mengde is ambitious, he will not risk the world's disapproval by attacking Luoyang."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Cao Mengde is a rare hero of this era. His style of doing things is not bound by formalities."

Cai Yong asked: "When I was in Luoyang, I was friends with Meng De. We were close friends. If the emperor needs it, I can write him a letter to explain the pros and cons."

Liu Yu shook his head.

A hero like Cao Cao, who had ambitions to rule the world, although grateful for Cai Yong's introduction to him, would not let this incident restrict his behavior.

As long as he had the chance, he would rush out of the woods with great ferocity like a wolf hunting its prey, and then bite off the prey's throat in one bite.

However, Liu Yu came today because he wanted Cai Yong to write a letter, but not to Cao Mengde, but to Kong Rong.

Liu Yu wanted to use his relationship with Kong Rong to ask Kong Rong to help him find someone, and that person was Taishi Ci.

This man is an expert archer, on par with Huang Zhong. If he can get help from Taishi Ci, it will definitely be of great help in conquering Runan County.

In Liu Yu's view, the archers of this era are the equivalent of snipers in later generations, who can accurately strike targets.

If you can kill the enemy general on the battlefield, you will be able to undermine the enemy's morale and play a decisive role in the war.

With the help of archers, the efficiency of siege will definitely be greatly increased.

"Mr. Cai, to be honest with you, I came here today for two reasons: first, to pay a visit to Mr. Cai, and second, I really want to ask Mr. Cai to write a letter."

"I don't know what the letter is. Please let me know, uncle."

"I heard that Mr. Cai and Kong Beihai are lifelong friends, so I want to write a letter to Mr. Cai and Kong Beihai, asking him to help me keep an eye out for someone."

"If I remember correctly, this person should be in Liaodong, but his mother should be in Beihai. Kong Beihai ordered people to take good care of his mother. It won't be long before he returns from Liaodong. When the time comes, please ask Kong Beihai to let this person come to Luoyang."

Cai Yong laughed out loud. It was just asking Kong Rong to help find someone. This was not a difficult task for Cai Yong.

He was just a little curious about what kind of person could make Liu Yu so infatuated with him.

"I wonder which family this child is from to be valued so highly by the Emperor's uncle?"

"His surname is Taishi, his given name is Ci, his courtesy name is Ziyi, and he is from Huangxian, Donglai. I heard that he is good at martial arts and riding and shooting, so I want to recruit him under my command."

Cai Yong nodded, said no more, and ordered his servants to bring paper and pen, and began to write. The handwriting on the thin paper was elegant and graceful, which was the flying white style that Cai Yong was good at. In a blink of an eye, a letter was completed.

Cai Yong took a look at the letter and handed it to Liu Yu.

"Uncle Liu, I'd like you to deliver this letter."

"It should be so." Liu Yu took the letter and put it in his arms.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Liu Yu found an excuse to leave. Just as he stood up, he saw a beautiful woman standing not far away with a smile on her face. Who else could it be but Cai Wenji?
