Liu Hao knew how to advance and retreat, and was too knowledgeable to stop pursuing the truth. After bidding farewell to Mi Zhen, not long after he arrived at the prefect's palace, a soldier from outside hurried over to report: "My lord, the Yuan family in Luoyang has sent someone.
Come and ask for an audience outside the prefect’s mansion!”
"Finally come to redeem Yuan Shu? Bring him in."
Liu Hao felt happy. The Yuan family's movements were still very fast!?
"Master Liu, two thousand war horses, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass... have all been transported to Yingchuan County, just outside the city... Can the highway be released?"
The envoy sent by the Yuan family was a spirited old man named Yuan Zhong.
Yuan Zhong's eyes rolled around, feeling the deep majesty invisible from Liu Hao's body, and he did not dare to make any mistakes, so he directly explained his purpose of coming in a low voice.
Haha, is it in place?
With two thousand horses and a certain amount of money and food, it’s okay not to kill Yuan Shu!
"Zhan Zhao, send someone to count the Yuan family's war horses, money and food..."
Liu Hao waved his hand and arranged for Zhan Zhao to go down to meet him. Then he smiled leisurely and said, "Yuan Zhong, right? You go down first. If the number of war horses, food, etc. is correct after counting, Yuan Shu will be released immediately!"
After Yuan Zhong was pushed back by Liu Hao, he ran to see Yuan Shu in a hurry.
In a small courtyard in Yangzhai County, I met Yuan Shu...
At this meeting, Yuan Zhong was shocked and dumbfounded: "This Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan... dares to treat the road like this, it is really... so rude!"
It turns out that where has the graceful and heroic Qilin'er of the Yuan family gone!?
Old Yuan Zhong burst into tears!
Yuan Shu, the unlucky guy, was caught by Liu Hao and put under house arrest in Yingchuan, but he could not enjoy the fine clothes and food he had in Nanyang.
People who eat porridge and wild vegetables all day long will lose weight due to hunger...
"Uncle Zhong..."
Seeing Yuan Zhong, Yuan Shu felt as if he was in a dream. He stepped forward and hugged Yuan Zhong's thigh. He moved his lips and shed tears: "Liu Hao, this person is not only rude, he is simply... ugh,
Thanks to Uncle Zhong for coming to save me, otherwise I would have been locked up until I died of old age..."
He was excited and incoherent. Yuan Zhong glanced left and right and solemnly told: "Gaoluo, you caused trouble this time, and the head of the family was very angry...Liu Hao is a very capable person. You must not provoke him at will in the future."
, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
This old man has become a mature man. Thinking of the evil spirit of Dian Wei and others in the hall, he felt very afraid. He continued: "Highway, we will get away later. Do you want to go and say thank you to Liu Hao?"
Yuan Shu: "..."
It’s so desolate that I can’t say anything. Liu Hao slapped my face until it was swollen, and he still wants me to say thank you!?
Liu Hao went out and walked around, but he didn't wait for Yuan Shu. Instead, he waited for the soldiers who had summoned him and said: "My lord, an angel from Luoyang has delivered the imperial edict. He is waiting outside the prefect's mansion!"
"Dong Zhuo has made some move?"
Thinking in his mind that Tao Qian and Dong Zhuo actually sent letters to Yingchuan on the same day, Liu Hao was slightly frightened: Is there any conspiracy in this?
"Quickly summon everyone to the prefect's mansion to discuss matters!"
"yes!"
That so-called angel was actually Dong Zhuo's man. Liu Hao naturally didn't pay attention to such a microphone. He walked into the hall and sat directly on the main seat.
It didn't take long before the seats were filled with people.
The literary works include Liu Bowen, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Zhong Yao and others, and the military commanders also include Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yang Zaixing, Lin Chong, Hua Rong and other generals.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such a lineup is full of talents.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... Liu Hao, the prefect of Yingchuan, was originally a member of the imperial family. He killed thieves and defended the country. He was specially named Xuzhou Mu. Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, because of his hard work and meritorious service, was transferred to Yuzhou Mu. I admire this!"
"
The young father-in-law who was delivering the order was stared at by Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other peerless generals. He was so tongue-tied.
Ding dong!
"The host is asked to complete the fifth step of the serial hidden mission within half a year and become the state pastor of Xuzhou, one of the thirteen states in the world. If the mission fails, the punishment will be hair loss..."
It’s really God’s punishment. If I become bald, will I become stronger?
Liu Hao shook his head and put this idea out of his mind.
It’s better not to seek death. The rewards from the serial hidden missions are very generous...
"Xiao Guizi, take this father-in-law down and have a good rest!"
After giving the order, the clever little Guizi hurriedly ran out and took the angel down who almost peeed with fear.
Liu Hao opened the imperial edict and took a look. The seal stamped on it was a little different from the one printed on the secret edict he had received.
"What the hell, didn't Dong Zhuo carve a carrot seal to pretend to be a jade seal?"
The jade seal was lost in the chaos that night in Luoyang, and now it seems that Dong Zhuo has not obtained it either.
"Everyone, do you have any ideas about future development issues?"
Liu Hao sat high on the throne and ordered his subordinates to pass the imperial edict to his subordinate Wen Wu for viewing, and asked loudly.
Xu Shu took the lead and said: "My lord, after the death of He Jin, Dong Zhuo wanted to win the hearts of the nobles, and the Yuan family benefited the most. Yuan Shao has now returned to Hebei, and is the governor of Bohai. Yuan Shu has also been named the governor of Nanyang. Now my lord
If we want to develop in Yingchuan County, we will be in a passive position being attacked from all sides. The strategic significance is too bad. I think that the next step should be to take Xuzhou as the foundation."
This guy Dong Zhuo is truly a troublemaker.
The edicts and orders issued by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were circulated throughout the world and were already recognized by people all over the world. This was also one of the potential reasons why Liu Hao did not kill Yuan Shu.
The game of hegemony also has rules for the game.
It is undeniable that this family background is actually a hidden golden finger. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, relying on their family background, can prosper in troubled times as long as they raise a flag.
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not to be feared, but Yanzhou Cao Cao is worth noting!"
Liu Hao said secretly, falling into deep thought.
Although he has not met Cao Cao yet, it will be a matter of time.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Liu Hao secretly sent many spies out to pay attention to Cao Cao's every move.
Cao Cao was very good at winning people's hearts, and with the support of his own family and local noble families, he now had more than 10,000 elite troops at his disposal.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others in his family are all powerful generals. From this point of view, Cao Cao, a notorious traitor, still developed in the cracks.
"My lord, what Yuan Zhi said is very pertinent. Yingchuan County is located in a plain, which is indeed an easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend place. Xuzhou is rich and has a large population. Tao Qian is quite old. Dong Zhuo wants to borrow Tao Qian's sword to kill my lord.
, but the lord can take advantage of this opportunity to directly take control of Xuzhou and use the southeast as his foundation."
Xun Yu also came out to express his views.
How could Liu Hao's top adviser not see Dong Zhuo's plan?
Now that we have the name of righteousness, taking advantage of the situation is the kingly way!
Just as Liu Hao was about to speak, he suddenly heard another pleasant system prompt... ..
