Chapter 1167: Truce, Forces
Yuan Shao's self-talking appearance made Liu Yuqiang hold back a smile, and asked in a reluctantly calm tone: "Aren't you afraid that after I gain a foothold in Youzhou, I will call on the princes of the world to crusade against you in the name of the emperor?" ”
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "My Yuan clan is deeply blessed by the royal family, the ancestor Yuan Angong, the great-uncle Yuan Changgong and the father Yuan Fenggong are all among the three princes, and there are more than 30 people in the clan who hold authority, and there are countless officials from my Yuan family. I think that except for a few rebels, no one in the world will respond to the call of the Hou Ye! ”
Although Yuan Shao's words had some truth, the contempt in his words made Liu Yu feel a little angry. Probably Liu Yu's slightly changed face caused Yuan Shao's misunderstanding, and he then said: "My Yuan clan has produced three dukes in four generations, which has never been seen in the history of the Han Dynasty, so the opening words of my Yuan clan's motto are 'forever for Hanchen', so please don't touch the emperor and the court when the Hou Ye migrates, give me a chance to be loyal!" ”
Looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, people who don't know may really think that he is a loyal minister who wants to revive the Han family. Liu Yu sighed secretly and asked again: "Did I promise you, you will let me go back to the city?" ”
Yuan Shao said a little unnaturally: "I want to ask Hou Ye to go back to Yecheng with me to play first, and then I will send Hou Ye to Youzhou after everything is decided." ”
Hey, that's exactly what I expected! Knowing Yuan Shao's plan, Liu Yu didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, and with a wave of his sword, he attacked the relatively weak group of these masters. It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to "capture the thief and capture the king first". It's just that there are too many guards and fierce generals around Yuan Shao, and it is difficult for Liu Yu to break through the protective circle composed of more than fifty masters.
These people selected by Yuan Shao were all good, and they stabilized their positions after being attacked by Liu Yu and killing two of them unprepared. For a while, swords, guns, swords, halberds, fists, feet, palms and fingers all beckoned to Liu Yu. Fortunately, although there are many people surrounding Liu Yu, there are only six or seven people who can directly fight Liu Yu.
Yuan Shao looked a little angry because of the sudden change in things, and he roared in a slightly changed tone: "Liu Yu, you idiot, don't you know the truth of 'stay in the green mountains, don't you be afraid of no firewood'? There was once a sincere kindness placed in front of you, but you didn't cherish it, and now I will give you one last chance. What choice will you make? ”
Liu Yu didn't even bother to speak, picked up an attack gap, turned his head and spat at Yuan Shao. Then Liu Yu heard his roar: "Since Liu Yu wants to kill yourself, then I will fulfill you." The generals obey the order, you don't have to be captured alive, kill me! ”
"Yes!" More than two hundred masters with profound skills shouted in unison like a demonstration. Then Liu Yu's attack became fierce. In addition, some people who couldn't reach Liu Yu but were unwilling to stand by also used long-range attacks on the periphery to sneak attack Liu Yu, so splitting empty palms, cold arrows, and various types of hidden weapons followed.
At the beginning, Liu Yu was really in a hurry, but after a while, Liu Yu found that most of the hollow splitting palms and hidden weapons could not break through the true qi cover formed by the "King Kong Body Protection Divine Skill" that he maintained with the four successful powers, so Liu Yu simply gave up his defense and used the "Qiankun Great Shift" to transfer the long-range attacks that threatened Liu Yu to the six masters around Liu Yu. An attack that can make Liu Yu feel threatened is almost fatal to others, so in the event of a surprise, this close-range master will be gone.
Probably because the scene was so chaotic that no one had yet realized that something was wrong, the four gaps were immediately filled, and the masters on the periphery were still splitting with their palms, shooting arrows, and firing with hidden weapons. Liu Yu naturally couldn't ask for this.
When the close masters changed twenty-three people in a very short period of time, someone finally noticed Liu Yu's methods, and the long-range attack no longer appeared in a burst of shouting and scolding. Liu Yu has nothing to gain or lose about this. After reducing the power of the maintained "Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill" to one percent, Liu Yu stepped on the "Ling Bo Micro Step" to attack.
Liu Yu, who was immersed in the struggle between life and death, did not notice the passage of time at all, and when he came back to his senses, it was already sunset. Why is it so late, Liu Xuan and the others must be worried, I have to go back immediately to comfort them. Liu Yu, who was a little anxious, swung thirteen sword qi in a row with his abundant skills, taking advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to dodge and return to defense. Liu Yu flew up.
In mid-air, Liu Yu heard Yuan Shao's somewhat noisy voice: "Be careful, don't let him escape!" "At the same time. A long arrow that emitted a piercing scream shot at Liu Yu under the infusion of an extremely strong force.
It's Lu Bu's cold arrow again! But this time, Liu Yu had to thank him. You must know that although Liu Yu's light body kung fu is high, it is not enough to break through the encirclement network composed of more than two hundred masters, but this arrow gave Liu Yu a chance.
Lu Bu was probably afraid that he would not be able to kill Liu Yu with one blow, so his arrow was aimed at Liu Yu's head. Liu Yu bent his body in the air, and when the long arrow reached the top of Liu Yu's head, Liu Yu displayed his "shadow". This kung fu is extremely subtle, when you use its method to tie your qi to an object, it will become like the shadow of that object, and the most valuable thing is that once this kung fu is used, it will no longer consume power.
Lu Bu's arm strength is strong, and he sent Liu Yu out of the encirclement with just one arrow. Liu Yu ignored the various attacks that came from behind him, increased the skill of maintaining the "King Kong Body Protection Divine Skill" to seventy percent, and then used his strength under his feet to rush towards Hanoi City. Liu Yu, who had no heart for war, was unstoppable in Yuan Shao's army, and soon entered the city defense area, and after the pursuing enemy army was shot dead by more than 1,000 people by the archers on the city wall, Yuan Shao's army finally retreated.
When Liu Yu flew to the city with ten successful efforts, he was not only surprised by what he saw. Fu Zhu and Zhao Yun all knelt on the ground, but Liu Yu and their pretty faces were full of tears with an indifferent expression.
Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?" ”
He kowtowed heavily and said: "Xiangye is the world, how can he be alone in danger?" Today's ministers give advice to death, and hope that the prime minister will spare his life for the people! After saying that, he pulled out his sword and wanted to kill himself.
Liu Yu hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Fu must not be like this. I know that I am wrong, and I will never do such an absurd thing again in the future! Hurry up, please! Although these words were said to Fu Zhu, they were actually showing their attitude to Liu Xuan and them. Really. After listening to Liu Yu's words, their eyes softened slightly, but they still didn't say a word.
Liu Yu knew that the matter was a bit big, but because of the importance of state affairs, he did not immediately come forward to consol him. After giving them an apologetic look, Liu Yu asked Fu Zhu: "Mr. Fu, now that Yuan Shao has retreated, do you think we should go out of the city to pursue?" ”
"No." Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "Although Yuan Shaojun retreated. However, the ministers observed that their banners did not fall and their formations were not chaotic, which showed that their command was measured. Moreover, Yuan Shaojun still has 100,000 people. And there are very few cavalry in our army, even if you add Xiangye's back army, the number is only fifteen, so I still want Xiangye to think twice! ”
Liu Yu sighed and said helplessly: "Okay then." Just let Yuan Shao go. Everyone returned to their original positions and paid attention to Yuan Shaojun's counterattack. After speaking, Liu Yu walked up to Liu Yu and said softly: "Let's go back, I'm already hungry!" ”
Liu Xuan nodded, turned around and left with the sisters without saying anything. When he returned to the other courtyard to avoid the idlers, Liu Yu said coldly to Liu Yu, who had a sneering face: "Xiangye is so majestic, so evil!" A single horse dares to break into the 100,000 Yuan camp, and it really deserves the reputation of 'the first in the world'! ”
Liu Yu said with some embarrassment: "Why do you say that, aren't I confused?" ”
Liu Xuan reprimanded angrily: "Confused? Is it because of Lu Bu's arrow? You must know that you are a dignified master. With the safety of the world at stake, how can you be so easily confused! What if you have three elders and two shorts in the enemy army, and you call us six sisters? What if you call the courtiers who follow you to stabilize the world, and what do you call the tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in these seven states? ”
Liu Yu, who listened to the three "What should I do", had a hot face, and hurriedly explained: "Didn't I tell you that my 'Vajra Body Protector Divine Skill' has been completed, and no one in this world can kill me......
Liu Xuan said with tears in his eyes: "Husband, how can you be so arrogant! Although the 'Vajra Body Protector Divine Skill' is indeed the strongest talisman martial art I have ever seen, there are so many wonders in the world, how can you guarantee that no kind of kung fu can restrain it? ”
Liu Yu was really depressed. But he couldn't ignore the heavenly way of this world too much to show his specialness, so he had to promise: "Yu'er." I was wrong. I'm never going to war again, and I don't want to see you cry for worrying about me. ”
Liu Yujin hugged Liu Yu tightly and said gently: "We are really happy that our husband can spare our sisters, but we don't want you to lose your blood because of us, we just hope that you will not be brave again!" There are so many fierce generals under your command, why do you need your dignified master to go out in person?! Even if you want to have a killing addiction, then you have to take Luan Fengwei and the Beiwei Army out together, otherwise what is the use of our 'Guard'? ”
Liu Yu nodded honestly and responded: "I know, I won't do such a stupid thing again!" ”
"Well, I forgive you on behalf of the sisters!" Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then threatened Liu Yu: "If you do it again next time, our six sisters will collectively go to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang to become nuns!" ”
Come on, White Horse Temple is a monk's temple, not a nunnery! Even if you do go there and become a monk, people won't take you ......
I don't know if it's because I listened to the eldest sister's words or I wasn't really angry at all, after Liu Yu said that he forgave Liu Yu, Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang, Zou Zhiruo, Fan Lihua, and Wu Amaranth talked about it.
Cai Yan walked over and hugged Liu Yu's other arm, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before the stupid thing that my husband did today will spread all over the world, and then the rap artist will have one more name of 'breaking into Yuan's camp alone, and swords are rampant in 100,000 troops'!" ”
Zou Zhiruo looked at Liu Yu with a gaze that made Liu Yu feel a great sense of guilt, and said softly: "Husband must listen to Sister Xu's words, but you can't let us worry anymore." You know, the moment you fell off the horse, we all cried with fear......"
Ren Hongchang jumped in front of Liu Yu with a smile and interrupted Zou Zhiruo's words: "You are the ones who cried, I didn't cry!" Then he looked at Liu Yu with extremely admiring eyes and said, "I know that Fujun is the most powerful, and no one can defeat Fujun!" It doesn't matter if it's one person or 10,000 people! ”
Liu Yu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, there is a secret to why I am so powerful!" ”
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Yu and the others all gathered around. A pair of curious eyes widened, and under their urging, Liu Yu said solemnly: "Other masters pay attention to the heart when they fight. But I'm different. Whenever I face the enemy, I can't help but think of you who I love deeply, and it is this love that gives me endless internal strength and never tires until I defeat the opponent! ”
Cai Yan and the others were all melted by Liu Yu's affectionate words and eyes, and only Liu Yu was unmoved and pinched the soft flesh on Liu Yu's waist and whispered: "I will say a nice lie!" ”
An imminent family storm disappeared in Liu Yu's upright attitude and sensual love words, and the war clouds that shrouded Liu Yu's territory gradually faded. The first is Yuan Shao, who forcibly attacked the city under low morale, and only after leaving more than 10,000 corpses did he understand what "nothing can be done", so he could only reluctantly retreat; The next person to ask for a truce was Jiangdong Sun Jian. He was entangled with the Shanyue tribe in Jian'an County, and he was unable to look north at all. In order to vacate his troops, he actually exchanged Liu Yujun for an armistice agreement with a three-year statute of limitations at the cost of 200,000 stone grain and half of the commercial tax; Then Gongsun Zhan also retreated to Qingzhou with a small amount of money and grain that he had plundered; In the end, Cao Cao was left, an outstanding politician and military strategist who knew that it was difficult to stand alone, and fought for a long time outside Hangu Pass without success. So after learning that the three-way allied forces had retreated, they also returned to Chang'an, leaving only Cao Renzhen to guard Tongguan.
###########################################################
After returning to Luoyang, there were many generals clamoring for a counterattack, and Liu Yu was not the kind of master who was beaten and silent, so an internal meeting was held on this matter. The participants included Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao, Guo Jia, who joined the army, Fu Zhu, as well as Dasi Nong Youheng and Li Ru, director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.
"Let's not fight back and tell us what you think!"
"Let's talk about it first." You Heng glanced at everyone and said, "Although this war has brought us certain losses, the endowment is still sufficient. In addition to paying for post-war reconstruction, it can also support the needs of 100,000 troops for a year. If we talk about the strategic reserves of our army, they can definitely provide the consumption of a million troops for three years. As for whether or not to fight back, it's not something that the position of a minister can talk about! ”
Frustrated and glared at You Heng, who was smiling strangely. said: "The minister thinks that he should send troops to teach those who dare to be disrespectful to the court!" At present, the coalition forces of all walks of life have been defeated and retreated due to the fruitless offensive, but our army, on the other hand, is full of momentum and high fighting spirit. The minister thought that he could choose one of them to warn the princes of the world. ”
"And who should I hit?" Xun Yu said lightly: "Cao Cao's steady general Cao Ren led 50,000 elite soldiers to guard the dangerous Tongguan, if you want to take this place, the only way to attack is to attack it, according to the minister's humble opinion, at least 60,000 lives are needed to break through the pass." Jizhou has a large population and abundant products. Although the terrain is flat, the city is high and the grain is sufficient. And the Yuan family has been operating here for decades, and it is not possible to obtain it for three or five years. Although Qingzhou Gongsun Chan can break it in one fell swoop, it is better to avoid direct conflict before he officially turns his face with the Gongsun family. Although our General Gan Ning has long been ordered by the Prime Minister to train the naval army in Hongze Lake, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with the naval army of the Sun family at present, and besides, we have just signed a peace treaty with it, so it is really not appropriate to face each other with swords. As for Yuan Shu, his power can be described as lonely in Jiangnan compared to our side, and it is not suitable to get it. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops! ”
Zhang Zhao took over the conversation and added: "What Lord Xun said is very true, as far as the minister knows, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and others signed an offensive and defensive alliance, if our army attacks one side, the rest of the four roads will send troops to rescue." Although such a covenant may not be realized, there is no need for our side to be a waystone, it is better to use a trick to provoke them to fight each other first! ”
Liu Yu set his eyes on Guo Jia, a wise man with the name of "ghost talent", and said lazily: "If Xiangye wants to send troops to the outside, he must first settle inside!" ”
"What does it mean for Guo to join the army?" Li Ru said coldly with a gloomy face: "At present, the land of the seven states that belong to Xiangye is all under the monitoring of my S.H.I.E.L.D., if someone is talking to foreign enemies, it is impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of S.H.I.E.L.D.!" ”
"Director Li, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly!" Guo Jia showed a sloppy smile and said: "Although the Cao family and the Xiahou family have migrated to Chang'an, their two families have multiplied and lived in Qiaojun and Chenliu for hundreds of years, and they can be said to have big roots and deep roots, if they can't completely eliminate their latent forces. I am afraid that it will cause great harm to our side. ”
"That's a lot of what I said." Liu Yu first praised Guo Jia, and then asked Li Ru: "How much does S.H.I.E.L.D. know about the situation of these two families?" ”
"Back to Xiangye, most of the clansmen and materials of the Cao family and the Xiahou family have been transferred to Chang'an. The Cao family only left a farm with 800 acres of land in Chenliu County. Its owner is Cao Cao's own brother Cao De's son Cao Anmin. The Xiahou family has a Qing Hall for scholars to exchange knowledge in the city of Qiaojun, and its owner is Xiahou Lian, Xiahou Dun's own brother. ”
"How many farmers are there on that farm?"
"In addition to the seventy-eight tenants in the Cao family's farm, there are more than 600 villagers!"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "An 800-acre farm needs 600 villagers to protect, isn't the Cao family afraid that I will be suspicious of this move?" ”
Guo Jia half-squinted and said: "I'm afraid that the Cao family just hopes that Xiangye will be suspicious of the farm, and then focus the investigation there." ”
Liu Yu nodded and asked Li Ru, "In addition to these two strongholds on the surface, what else have you found?" ”
This conspirator, who was counted in the Three Kingdoms period, smiled gloomily. said: "It's a fool's dream that the Cao family wants to use such a little trick to confuse our audio-visual. According to the minister's investigation, the Cao family privately controlled Liucheng Restaurant in Yuzhou. And the Xiahou family secretly controls more than fifty percent of the inns in Yuzhou. ”
"I'm afraid those restaurants and inns are the eyeliner of the Cao family and the Xiahou family! But how do we remove these thorns? Liu Yu asked with some distress.
"Why get rid of them, wouldn't it be good to stay and deliver to us the news we want to get out?" Guo Jia smiled sinisterly.
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The Cao family and the Xiahou family have been inherited in Yuzhou for hundreds of years, and there will not only be hidden piles such as restaurants and inns. It may not be realistic to use them to confuse Cao Cao with fake news. Moreover, the people of Yuzhou are rich and prosperous, and restaurants and inns are extremely profitable transactions, so it is better to nationalize them than to let them accumulate funds for Cao Cao. Think of a way! ”
Guo Jia looked at Liu Yu with an expression of "I expected you to do this" and said: "The reason why the Cao family and the Xiahou family were able to control so many restaurants and inns in secret was because the two of them had great power in Yuzhou, but unfortunately there were yellow turban thieves in Yuzhou first, and then they were firmly controlled by Xiangye, and now these two families have moved to Chang'an, so it can be said that the power on the official side has been basically eliminated." Although the two families still control some non-governmental organizations, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. As long as we plan well, it will not be too difficult to eat these industries! ”
"Which civil society organizations do they control?" Liu Yu asked curiously.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Li Ru. Li Ru raised his eyebrows and said, "The report on the non-governmental organization has already been handed over to Xiangye!" ”
Looking at the helpless and worried expressions on the faces of these henchmen, Liu Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, I have already read Wen You's report, I just asked in passing, don't take it to heart!" Notice their obvious look of disbelief. Liu Yu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Well, that's it." Wen You, the confiscation of the Cao family and Xiahou family's property will be handed over to you, anyway, your S.H.I.E.L.D. is engaged in intelligence work, and more restaurants and inns will have more information channels, and you can use them to get more funds for action! ”
Li Ru nodded knowingly. Seeing that they had nothing else to do, Liu Yu hurriedly dismissed their attempt to stay and eat with an eviction order. It's not because Liu Yu is stingy, but because now Liu Yu has the urge to make up classes immediately.
After finding Ren Hongchang in the study, Liu Yu immediately asked, "Baby, do you know what non-governmental organizations belong to the Cao family and the Xiahou family?" ”
Seeing Liu Yu's somewhat impatient appearance, several women who were handling official business for Liu Yu in the study surrounded him, and Liu Yu asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, husband?" Did something happen? ”
Liu Yu told him what happened just now, Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu with resentment, and sighed: "Although as a superior person, you don't have to bow down in person, but husband, you also have to know a little bit about the situation!" If you continue like this, I'm afraid that your civil servants and generals will think that our sisters are greedy for power and have hollowed you out! ”
Liu Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Didn't I change it when I knew my mistakes!" Okay, you guys go to deal with official business, and let Hongchang tell me the information! (To be continued)
