In the pavilion, Xun You and Zhang Liao were tied up and tied to a tree in the courtyard. Wang Shun was strolling inside, and Wei Xu and Hao Meng stood aside honestly, not daring to make a sound.

Looking around, there was a little blood on the ground, and the two of them could be distinguished at a glance. Xun You's body was a little tattered, his hair was scattered, and his expression was a little tired, even if the rope was added, he still didn't see panic, and his eyes were clear.

Zhang Liao's face was full of determination, and several knife wounds on his body were not treated, he lost some blood, and his face was a little pale. Facing Liu Yuan's gaze, he did not dodge, and exuded generosity and pride.

"King!" Wang Shun took the lead in paying homage.

Liu Yuan waved his hand to excuse him, and stayed on Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian for a while. Seeing that Li Ru and Lu Bu were standing silently behind Liu Yuan, several people didn't dare to look at Liu Yuan, and subconsciously lowered their heads.

"Unbind!" Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and scolded. When the soldier next to him heard the order, he quickly stepped forward, cut the rope with a knife, and put the two down.

Liu Yuan stepped forward in two steps and bowed: "Liu Yuan, I've seen two!" ”

Xun You rubbed his sore wrist, raised his eyes to look at Liu Yuan, and Yun Danfeng replied lightly: "I can't afford the gift of King Xia!" Zhang Liao next to him moved, his face twitched a few times, and he didn't speak.

"Gongda and Wenyuan, even after they have arrived in Xia City, they have not seen their lonely side, why do they want to give up their loneliness and escape?" Seeing the performance of the two, some of the "expectations" in Liu Yuan's heart gradually dissipated, and he asked out loud.

"Bad luck, trapped in the enemy camp, as a Han courtier, naturally have to find an opportunity to escape!" Xun You said lightly.

Hearing Xun You's words of resistance and the stubborn expression on his face, Liu Yuan couldn't help but express his acceptance: "I know that the wisdom of the public is superb, and my Xia Guo is in the midst of employing people, dare to ask Mr. to serve Xia Guo and welcome him alone?" ”

"Huh! King Xia still dispelled this thought, my Xun clan has been favored by the country, and I will never do anything that is subservient to foreign races, and I will never smear the reputation of my Xun clan! Xun You still had an indifferent expression, and his tone was extremely firm.

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Ru and Lu Bu, Li Ru was still very calm, while Lu Bu was a little ashamed, showing a little embarrassment.

"Just because of the identity of the Huns?" Liu Yuan's voice was a little high: "The Xiongnu are not Huaxia people?" Lonely and painstakingly abolishing the old system of the grassland, and actively practicing sinicization. For many years, the scholars and doctors of the Central Plains have done what they want to do for you, and they have done it for you, but don't you see Lone's sincerity and ambition? ”

"Lone is called lonely in front of you, how many people in this Han world secretly laugh at themselves, and Lone knows it. However, he has never been afraid of criticism, he wants to integrate Hu and Han into one, and with a public mind, he can't eliminate the little interracial prejudice in his heart? Liu Yuan looked "excited": "Don't forget, Lone is a big Han horse, and Lone is now surnamed Liu, and he is half of the Han royal family!" ”

"King Xia led the army to the south, killing was rampant, and how many scholars and counties in the state were killed, the people were wiped out, the Han people were exiled, and how many Han people suffered. Even in vain trying to unite Hu and Han, the blood and tears between the two sides for hundreds of years cannot be eliminated by King Xia alone, and this contrarian move is also! Xun You said lightly.

"Wen Yuanfang just said a sentence, the Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" Xun You said in a deep voice: "King Xia, you don't have to waste your tongue!" ”

Seeing that he was kind enough to persuade him, Xun You was still so stubborn, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. pressed down and looked at Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, you don't want to work?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liao didn't talk nonsense, and the two words were back.

"The two of them are not afraid of being alone and killing them in anger, and the ants are still sparing their lives, and the two are not afraid of death?" Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"If you don't obey the thief, why die!" Zhang Liao laughed and said. Xun Yu was beside him, and when he saw Zhang Liao's reaction, he couldn't help but show an approving look.

"Someone!" Liu Yuan's face showed murderous intent, shouted angrily, and was about to give an order, when he clenched his fists, let out a breath of turbidity, and ordered: "Take the two into custody for the time being!" ”

"The two of you should think about it in the lonely prison for the time being, and you won't kill you for the time being, but your patience is limited!"

Looking at the backs of the two of them going to the cage, Liu Yuan sighed, and for the first time felt a sense of frustration in his heart. Along the way to the south, many Han literati and generals were either lured or forced by swords, but they did not surrender one by one.

It's just that now, in the face of Xun and Zhang, Liu Yuan finally understands that some people really can't be forced by death. According to Liu Yuan's consistent style, such a stubborn person directly killed the matter. But when the opposite side was his "favorite" adviser and famous general, he was still a little hesitant, and just now, the order to kill him had already come to his lips, and he was swallowed by Liu Yuan.

"King Xia, Xun Yu is a person, he is a famous family, he has gone through the sea of eunuchs, his will is firm, he can't surrender suddenly, please be patient with King Xia!" Seeing that Liu Yuan's expression was a little ugly, Li Ru stepped forward and whispered to persuade him.

Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Li Ru: "Lone is just emotional." In the Han world, how many people with lofty ideals are similar to Xun You and Zhang Liao. If you want to conquer the Hans, you must first conquer them, and now it seems that the road ahead is difficult! ”

Putting away his complicated emotions, Liu Yuan smiled freely, no matter how difficult it was, it had come to this point. The establishment of the country, the obstacles to the future, will eventually be pulled out by him one by one.

"Who stopped the two of them from fleeing?" Liu Yuan turned around and asked.

When Wei Xu and a few people heard this, they bowed down to Liu Yuan: "The villain waits to meet King Xia!" ”

Looking at a few people, Wei Xu and Song Xian were wounded and bandaged simply, Liu Yuan chuckled and said, "Yes, join my Xia Army, behave well, and be rewarded!" ”

"King Xie Xia!" Several people looked at each other with joy. Several people intercepted Xun and Zhang, and they wanted to show themselves in front of Lu Bu, but now they actually entered the eyes of King Xia, and they couldn't help but be happy.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who were crowded in the courtyard dispersed, looked at Wang Shun, and Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Zizhong, you are doing well, you are all in your eyes!" ”

Wang Shun smiled and said: "The minister prides himself on being foolish, he only knows how to be loyal to the king, but the king is sent, and he will go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire!" ”

Just looking at his words and deeds, Liu Yuan knows that Wang Shun, don't look at his young age, he is not dull. Wang De was mediocre and gave birth to a good son, thanks to the fact that he died on the battlefield that year, otherwise Wang De, who had lost his value in Liu Yuan's heart, would not end well, and he would definitely be entangled in Wang Shun.

"Wenyou, Fengxian!" Liu Yuan called Li Ru and Lu Bu.

The two took the initiative to vote and were rewarded alone. With Wen You as the general of the military division, he entered the military counselor of the palace. Feng Xian was the general of Huwei, and he joined the Anyi battalion to command the army, and he was added to the position of captain under the next one! Wait for meritorious deeds, and then reward! "Liu Yuan is an official.

"King Xie!" The two bowed down, and they officially joined the Xia Kingdom camp.

That night, in the post house, Liu Yuan met Gao Shun again, fortunately, Gao Shun expressed his surrender under Lu Bu's "persuasion", so that Liu Yuan was not "nothing", and his mood was better.

Subsequently, the royal order came out, and Xu Huang of the sun was added as the general. This is Li Ru's understatement, when he went north, he promised: there will be a good reward. In addition, Liu Yuan wanted to reuse Xu Huang and promote him in advance to win his heart.

Xu Huang in the south got the promotion order, but he didn't show much excitement, and calmly responded to the order to thank him. After that, he ordered: "Return Lu Bu's hundreds of horsemen to Anyi!" ”

"General, this is hundreds of battle elite horsemen!" The subordinate officers were a little reluctant.

"Xia Guo, are you still short of fine horses?" Xu Huang laughed.
