Chapter 497: Cao Cao shows off sugar-coated cannonballs, the witty Liu Hao!
When Liu Hao was uniting the princes at Hulao Pass, he was able to overwhelm Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance.
After slaying the national traitors, he rewarded his merits and steadily suppressed Yuan Shao's position...
"My lord, the general is extremely talented and must imitate him..."
With Tian Feng's intelligence and vision, he certainly could not fail to see that Yuan Shao was afraid of Liu Hao.
However, he still had no hesitation in admonishing Yuan Shao and learning some tricks from Liu Hao.
Because, how can a hero who wants to dominate the world use his own unbalanced mentality because he is afraid of one person?
"hehe!"
Xu You, another confidant of Yuan Shao's staff, came out and said with cupped hands: "My lord, when we were at Hulao Pass, the general once praised Yuan Hao, saying that he was the best counselor in Hebei...
..."
The literati looked down upon each other, and the group of advisers under Yuan Shao were not of the same mind.
Tian Feng is usually upright, and his words are sarcastic towards the money-hungry Xu Youduo. When there is a chance to add insult to injury, Xu You is naturally unwilling to be outdone!
This light sentence made Yuan Shao's face change. He was really killing without blood!
"Yuan Hao, you are drunk..."
Yuan Shao said with a green face.
Tian Feng came out of the queue, bowed his arms to the ground, and said: "My lord, I am very sober. The general moved the capital to Jinling for no other reason than to plot the entire Jiangdong as a foundation..."
Before he could finish his thoughts, a spy stumbled in from outside the door, looking dusty and dusty.
"Lord, Jinling...urgent report..."
The spy exhausted all his strength and after saying this, he collapsed to the ground feebly...
After the servants fed him some water and rested for a while, the spy had the strength to speak: "My lord, the young man came back from Jinling and killed three horses along the way. He finally rushed back to inform the lord of this emergency military aircraft!"
"What's going on? Tell me slowly!"
Yuan Shao's face froze, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"My lord, the general beheaded Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, with the force of thunder, and has completely annexed Liu Yao's old Yangzhou troops..."
The spy said: "It is expected that in a few days, the emperor's edict will be spread throughout the world. The general's military performance in Jinling shocked Jiangdong. Now Jinling is deploying military force. The general is sitting on a powerful army. According to a small estimate, there will be at least 50,000 to 60,000 people.
!”
Everyone was shocked!
I don’t know how many people forgot to breathe, and I don’t know how many people dropped their wine glasses to the ground!
Unbelievable!?
Liu Haocai went to Jiangdong and wiped out Liu Yao's 100,000 Yangzhou Army!?
Just imagining it makes people tremble to the point of being horrified!
Yuan Shao turned his head and asked Xu You: "Commander Xu, how many men do we have?"
Xu You said quickly: "My lord has an army of 100,000 under his command, and there are countless young and strong people in the government. If we want to recruit more troops quickly, there will be no problem to reach 150,000 troops..."
This is just a scene.
Yuan Shu went into a craze for conscription and relaxed the age limit for conscription in his territory, and both older and younger people were recruited to serve as soldiers.
Yuan Shao is not so crazy, and his overall military strength is actually inferior to Yuan Shu!
"..."
Hearing how powerful Liu Hao was, Yuan Shao fell silent!
Envy, jealousy and hate!
The counselor was stunned and secretly said: "My lord, this... the general's military strength is really terrifying!"
Guo Tu also shook his head and said: "Yes, we have all seen the more than 10,000 elites that General General held at Hulao Pass... Now Jinling is practicing martial arts, with 100,000 troops, sweeping Jiangdong, it is a foregone conclusion!
"
If this continues, tonight's banquet in the hall will become a special event for Liu Hao to sing his praises!
However, the more they talked, the more flustered Yuan Shao became.
boom!
Finally, fear, panic, and all kinds of hatred blended together, and Yuan Shao lost control of his emotions and overturned the table!
"Damn it!"
Yuan Shao said with a dark face and a hateful voice!
All the civil and military men under him really looked at each other...
Military advisor Tian Feng hesitated to speak, and finally sighed with disappointment in his heart: Compared with General Liu Hao, Yuan Shao is indeed far inferior in talent and strategy!
Jinling.
On this day, Liu Hao met a person with a strange identity.
This person is also an old acquaintance. He is the envoy from Dongjun, Xia Houjie!
He is also Xiahou Qingyi’s biological father!
It's a pity that now, only Liu Hao is in Xiahou Qingyi's heart...
Xia Houjie could only lament that "women are not admitted to college, and their elbows are turned outwards"...
"Ahem, General, my daughter Qingyi, since she marries the General, it will be her blessing that she has cultivated in several lifetimes..."
Xia Houjie stood in front of Liu Hao, still respectfully presented a gift list, and said: "This is the gift list prepared by Meng De, please take a look at it, General!"
"One thousand gold, six pairs of Ruyi jade, thirty-two night-bright pearls, two jade coral trees..."
All kinds of valuables and rarities show the Cao family's strong financial resources.
"Mengde has sent such a generous gift, but I am disrespectful. Qingyi is definitely not affected at all in my mansion!"
Liu Hao just glanced at it briefly and put the gift list aside.
At the same time, he already knew in his heart: Cao Cao, the old fox, must have something else to ask Xia Houjie to be the lobbyist for...
"Haha! Just live happily in Qingyi..."
Xia Houjie laughed a few times and continued: "General, Meng De is very interested in heavy armor cavalry recently. I wonder if I can give you a few heavy armors and bring them back to Dongjun to show Meng De?"
"So you are waiting for me here!"
Liu Hao suddenly realized.
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would have been overwhelmed by Cao Cao's sugar-coated cannonballs, and then he would have agreed to all kinds of unfair conditions...
His father-in-law's overly respectful attitude also made Liu Hao feel funny in his heart.
When Xia Houjie saw Liu Hao was silent for a while, he couldn't help but said: "General, it's just a few armors. It's not a big problem, right?"
Liu Hao said with a faint smile: "General, I refuse!" ..
