I didn't expect Xu Hu to be on par with Guan Yu, but Liu De also knew that Xu Hu couldn't last long, this was still when Guan Yu didn't ride a horse, Xu Hu was good at foot fighting, not good at horse fighting, if he faced off with Guan Yu on a horse, I am afraid he couldn't hold a few moves, after all, according to Liu De's estimate, if the rumors are true, Donghu Zuo's martial arts should be around 90, but he was chopped in half by Guan Yu, which shows how terrifying Guan Yu's strength is.

In the end, Xu Hu was defeated by Guan Yu and was defeated after more than 20 rounds.

Guan Yu stretched out his hand, pulled Xu Hu up from the ground, patted Xu Hu on the shoulder, and didn't speak, and came to Liu De with Xu Hu, Liu De smiled: "My words count, since Xu Hu has survived the twenty rounds of Captain Guan Yu, then I will now appoint Xu Hu as a lieutenant in the army, it just so happens that my personal guard is short of people, so you will be on duty in my personal guard camp first!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Xu Hu laughed innocently, touched the back of his head, and said, "Obey!" ”

"I don't know if any of you want to challenge Captain Guan, this is the only opportunity, but you have to seize it!"

Everyone looked at each other, their heads shook like rattles, most people had duel with Xu Hu, no one could go through thirty rounds under Xu Hu, so the two were compared, they were self-aware, knowing that they could not survive Guan Yu's twenty rounds, originally there were arrogant people who were eager to challenge Guan Yu, thinking that Guan Yu might just be lucky, just picking up a cheap, if he would definitely kill the enemy general, but when he really saw Guan Yu's strength, they were silent, and they didn't dare to mention the challenge again, If people don't know how much they can do, they will die sooner or later.

......

After half a month, the military information from Yanzhou Mu and Dongyu City has been transmitted to Zhongzhou Luodu, the court is arguing endlessly, although the hundred officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are headed by the prime minister, but after the last time several important ministers compete for the position of prime minister and are full of ugliness, the hundred officials are divided into two factions to attack each other, resulting in the chaos of the court situation, the government decree does not last for a month (it is because of this Liu Shang that he escaped a catastrophe), and the old emperor thinks that the prime minister has too much power, and in order to balance the court situation, he does not set up the prime minister, with Situ, Sima, Sikong assisted the three dukes in dealing with military and political affairs, which calmed down the chaos in the imperial court.

Now the imperial court is headed by Sima Li Zhen, Sikong Cao Sui, and Situ Chenhe, Li Zhen and Cao Sui are each in their own factions, and they look at each other unpleasantly, as long as it is a decree proposed by one party, no matter whether the decree proposed is good or bad, the other party will inevitably oppose it, purely for the sake of opposition.

Situ Chen He is loyal, once an emperor, highly respected, and has repeatedly angrily reprimanded Li Cao and the two for misleading the country, Li Cao and the two dare not speak, but because Chen He is old, his energy is not as good as before, and he often can't participate in the court meeting due to illness, so although Li Cao and the two dare not contradict Chen He, they also don't take Chen He too seriously.

The Great Zhou Emperor sat on the dragon chair, only in his thirties this year, but his body was vain, his face was pale, and he was obviously hollowed out by wine. Looking at the two factions that were constantly arguing, he was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty, although this Liu Shang is dead, without the imperial court edict, his grandson Liu De dares to take the county order and the second position of partial general, which obviously does not take the imperial court decree in his eyes, please Your Majesty order, order Yanzhou Mu Yang Zichuan to arrest Liu De, press to Luodu for trial!" Cao Sui said loudly to the Great Zhou Emperor. His face gritted his teeth, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that Liu De was a heinous villain, and not killing him was not enough to make the people angry.

Li Zhen listened, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the queue of hundreds of officials, Li Zhen didn't know who Liu Shang and Liu De were, and Li Zhen, a small county commander, couldn't look down on him, he only knew that Yanzhou Mu was Cao Sui's person, as long as he could find Cao Sui unhappy, he would be willing to do it, so when Cao Sui criticized Liu De, he made up his mind to protect this Liu De's child, which was easy for him.

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to treat Cao Sui for the crime of bullying the king!"

"Li Zhen, you..."Cao Sui glared at Li Zhen angrily.

"Humph!" As soon as Li Zhen flicked his sleeves, he saw that Cao Sui was a hundred people who couldn't look at him, and his ability was not good, so he would shout.

"Your Majesty, at that time, when the army of 100,000 attacked Dongyu City, Liu Shang, as the commander of the first army, died of illness, Liu De, as Liu Shang's grandson, it is inevitable to replace Liu Shang as the lord of a city, otherwise the army will attack the city, and the dragons in the city have no leader, wouldn't it be a catastrophe? When the elders are in trouble, the relatives will succeed them, and there are special cases before, so the minister believes that Liu De has no fault but has merit, and asks His Majesty to reward Liu De to show his merit in defeating the 100,000 army of Donghu. ”

"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable."

The Great Zhou Emperor touched his beard under his chin and nodded in agreement.

"In that case..."

As soon as the Emperor of the Great Zhou wanted to ask the ministers what reward should be given to Liu De, he was interrupted by Cao Sui, "Your Majesty, after Liu De conquered Donghu, he did not rest with the people, but continued to recruit soldiers, and now there are probably more than 20,000 people, even if Liu De received the post of partial general, how can the partial general lead so many soldiers and horses, this little boy must support the army and respect himself, please Your Majesty is clear!" ”

"This..."

The old emperor began to hesitate again.

Li Zhen shook his head helplessly, knowing that the old emperor's indecision had been committed again, he didn't care about a small Dongyu City, what does Liu De have to do with himself whether he dies or not? However, seeing that Cao Sui was so attentive, it aroused Li Zhen's fighting spirit, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Dongyu is a border city, and it is often harassed by Donghu, if you only command thousands of people because of your own general, then I am afraid that Dongyu City has already been conquered by Donghu, so this is the right to emergency, and only 20,000 horses, what is it for my 10,000 people in Dazhou, supporting the army and respecting itself, what a joke, Cao Sikong Mo was not scared by these 20,000 people?" Haha..."

"Damn!"

Cao Sui was furious, "Your Majesty, that Liu De Xiao'er is not only like this, but also what kind of recruitment order has been issued, to select officials through examinations, regardless of identity, only look at ability, he is destroying the ancestral system, who gave him this right, who allowed him to do this, Your Majesty, please treat Liu De's crime!" ”

"It's... Li Sima, what do you think? ”

The Great Zhou Emperor couldn't make up his mind, as soon as he heard this Liu Delong's recruitment order, it seemed to be quite good, regardless of identity, only look at ability, but let Cao Sui buckle a big hat that violated the ancestral system, which made the Great Zhou Emperor hesitate, after all, the recruitment order destroyed the rights of the family, and although the Great Zhou Emperor was a little mediocre, but he had controlled the world for so long, he also understood that after all, this world still had to rely on the family to help him govern, so he wanted to ask other people's opinions, and the first one was Sima Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is also quite hesitant, the Li family is also a big family, and it is one of the top families in the Great Zhou Empire, of course he knows that the recruitment order is destroying the rights that belong to them, according to normal speaking, he must kill Liu De who issued this recruitment order, this wind must not last! But he was unwilling to let Cao Sui win him like this, for Li Zhen, face is more important than anything else.

"Your Majesty, let the old minister say a few words!"

At this time, Chen He, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and said to the Great Zhou Emperor.

"Chen Situ said!"

The Great Zhou Emperor was quite interested when he saw Chen He stand up, but he didn't expect that a small Dongyu City would make the three important ministers of the imperial court pay so much attention, and the Great Zhou Emperor couldn't help but get serious and straightened his waist, he still had a lot of respect for Chen He, after all, he had served as his teacher.

"Your Majesty, do you know Liu Shang?"

Chen He did not dispute about the recruitment order, after all, the recruitment order destroyed the rights in the hands of the family, no matter how much he argued, it was useless, but it would provoke anger, although Chen He was upright but not pedantic.

As the teacher of the Great Zhou Emperor, he knew the character of the Great Zhou Emperor, indecisive, and very emotional, so Chen He decided to start from elsewhere to help Liu De and Dongyucheng.
