When Liu He and Liu Yu came to the outside of the city of Xudu, the sky was already bright, and he and Liu Yu entered the city side by side. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

At this time, the city of Xudu had long since ceased to be prosperous in the imperial period, and the young city was now full of twilight, and the streets were full of hungry victims, and their faces were full of sorrow.

Because of the long-term siege of the army, there is a shortage of food and grass in the city, whether it is in the treasury of the government or in the palace, there is no surplus food, and some of the people have some food, but they have also been looted by the officers and soldiers, and now they are all hungry and shivering in the cold wind.

Liu He ordered some of the grain and grass in the generals to be distributed to the people, which had put off the urgent need, and at the same time ordered that part of the surplus grain from Nanyang, Luoyang and other places be urgently transferred to Luoyang, part of which was used for the use of the people, and the other part was used as a support for the soldiers to recover the entire Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Although Sima Yi promised on behalf of Cao 'Cao' that he would give him the entire Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Liu He did not really believe that they would keep their promise from the beginning, and if they wanted to get the land of these two states, they had to rely on the army to occupy it, but fortunately, because Cao 'Cao' was defeated and Xiahou Yuan died in battle, both Yanzhou and Yuzhou were now empty, and it was the best time to occupy it.

Therefore, Liu He did not dare to delay, and immediately appointed Lu Yi as the assassin of Yanzhou, and ordered him to command Zhang He, Gao Lan, Tian Yu, Xian Yufu and other generals and 30,000 troops, and occupy the counties of Yanzhou with the fastest express, and appointed Zhao Yun as the assassin of Yuzhou, so that he commanded an army of 30,000, and Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Fang Yue and others will quickly occupy the counties of Yuzhou.

At the same time, Liu He ordered Zhang Xiu to lead the headquarters to sit in Xiangyang, in his opinion, the confrontation between Sun Quan and Liu Bei has been more than half a year, and it should be decided soon, and it is expected that Liu Bei, who is not assisted by Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others, will definitely lose this time, so he asked Zhang Xiu to return to Xiangyang, the purpose is naturally to take the opportunity to seize the territory of Bashu and annex Liu Bei's subordinates.

At the very least, this time the entire Nanjun should also be captured, plus Jiangxia and Nanyang, which were occupied before, plus Jingling County, which has just restored its administrative division, this can be regarded as occupying four of the eight counties of Jingzhou, and it can be regarded as sharing Jingzhou equally with Sun Quan in the real sense.

Liu He's orders had been arranged before entering the city, and the men and horses under the command of Zhao Yun did not even have a rest, so they went directly to Runan, and jumped behind Cao's 'Cao' group to seize the city.

And said that after Liu He entered the Xu Capital City, he directly lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Cao 'Cao', but was sealed by the palace, at this time, in fact, some people persuaded Liu He to move into the palace, in their opinion, as long as they did not live in the emperor's harem, it could not be regarded as a violation, but after all, the palace was where the Son of Heaven once lived, and Liu He lived there but he was suspected of being a melon field and a plum, so Liu He rejected this proposal.

I don't know if Liu He's luck is too good, or if there is really such a thing as retribution for good and evil, when Liu He lived in Cao's 'Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion, he found a note in an inconspicuous corner of Cao's 'Cao's study, which read: "Xun Yu, a genius in the world, was locked up in the Jiaxu prison cell of Xiangfu's local prison, originally Cao' Cao's order to kill him, the villain took pity on his talent, and did not obey the order, leaving it in the Ming Lord, the villain was ashamed of his lack of talent, and had no face to see Qin Gong, so he followed Cao Gong to Xuzhou, and if there was an opportunity in the future, he would secretly help. ”

"This, this, could it be the work of the benefactor who secretly helped me? Alas, this person has helped me again and again, saved my parents, and now he is risking to leave Xun Yu to me, but I don't know who this person is until now, and I am really ashamed to receive favors but not know who the other party is. ”

Liu He held the note, looked at it blankly for a long time, and then accompanied by Chen Zhi, he went to the prison mentioned in the note, smashed open the prison, walked in, and sure enough, he saw a scribe about forty years old being locked there.

"But Xun Wenruo?" Looking at the scribe, Liu He forcibly suppressed the 'agitation' in his heart, and tried to keep his voice calm.

"Exactly, I don't know what it is?"

Xun Yu turned around, looked at the person in the dim light, and asked softly.

"Hehe, the dungeon is dim and damp, Mr. is suffering here, please follow me outside to talk."

Liu He motioned for Chen Zhi to help Xun Yu outside, but Xun Yu refused: "This gentleman, please explain who you are first?" What's the reason? It's never too late for us to go out. ”

Liu He had to admire Xun Yu's 'shrewdness', he had to show his identity: "Under Liu He, Mr. Su Wen is talented, and loyal to my Han family, but he was Cao '' suspicion, and was about here, almost died, today here, one is to rescue Mr. from prison, for Mr. to clear the wrongs, this second, or hope that Mr. can come out, help and help, we 'fine' sincere cooperation, together to kill the traitor Cao 'Cao', welcome back the Son of Heaven, revitalize my Han family." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Qin Gong, this is really a long time to admire, Qin Gong is willing to rescue, it is really Yu's blessing, Yu feels 'excited' in his heart, but Yu has a question he wants to ask Qin Gong, Qin Gong invited Yu this time, does he want Yu to be loyal to the Han family? Or do you want to be loyal to the Duke of Qin? ”

Xun Yu had been wronged by Cao's '' before, and his 'temperament' became a little sensitive, and as soon as he came up, he first asked whether he wanted him to be loyal to the Han family or whether he wanted him to be loyal to Liu and himself.

However, Liu He knew this in his heart, and he said: "Naturally, I am loyal to the Han family, not only to myself, but even today, I must be loyal to my Han family." ”

"Hehe, this point is quite novel for Duke Qin, as a Han minister, it is natural to be loyal to the Han family, but when today's representative is the Han family, do you want him to be loyal to himself?"

"No, there is a point that Mr. Wen Ruo needs to 'figure out' clearly, the world is the world of the people of the world, and the Han family is also the Han family of the people of the world, not a person's 'private' have, the so-called Son of Heaven is a person born with the mandate of heaven, and the meaning of its existence has two points, one is to respect the sky, the other is to protect the people, and from another point of view, the meaning of protecting the people is even greater than respecting the sky, as the Son of Heaven, if you only know how to respect the sky and do not know how to protect the people, even a puppet can do it, but this is for the people of the world, what is the use of the Jiangshan Sheji? At the beginning, the Marquis of Haidun was the emperor, the disaster was "chaos", only knew how to respect the sky and did not know how to protect the people, and the result was a big "chaos" in the world, the miasma of black smoke, and the people were not happy, and later Emperor Xiaoxuan ascended the throne, the Han family was prosperous, the people were pleased, the world was governed, and the wind and rain were smooth, this is loyal to the Han family, we were loyal to the Han family, not stupid loyalty, that is, if today's son was held hostage by Cao thieves, if he rashly issued an edict, he ordered and "handed over" the right to send troops, and paid Cao thieves, Mo Feihe also had to abide by it? This and the shallow view is also, please think twice. ”

"This ...... It seems to make sense. Xun Yu listened to what Liu He said, nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought.
