"This is Youzhou?"

A long team of chariots and horses slowly passed through the straight, wide, heroic streets of Takayanagi City in Daijun, and in front of and behind the chariot and horse convoy, there was a team of about 50 Youzhou iron horsemen who opened the road and broke their tails. On both sides of the street, dense crowds of people are pointing and judging with great interest.

In the convoy, the curtain of a carriage was lifted by a delicate little hand as white as jade, and a soft voice came out of it, like spring rain, with a feeling of softening the soul.

"Yes, princess."

He replied in a playful voice to a delicate maid sitting next to the coachman, looking around with a look of curiosity and surprise in her eyes.

"Princess, how wide the streets are, and these red houses, so neat!" The maid chirped like a lark: "There are so many people, and there are not so many in our royal city!" ”

The windows were fully opened, revealing a fair and delicate face full of exotic styles, with a pair of big slightly blue, water-like eyes, full of smart and soft brilliance.

"Well," the ruddy lips opened slightly, and a soft sigh came out: "These people are all well-dressed, ruddy complexion, and spirited, and their living conditions must be very good." It would be good when we can have such a situation in Loulan. ”

"Yes!" The maid nodded fiercely: "The princess will definitely be able to grant this wish!" ”

The chariot and horse team entered from the west gate of Gaoliu, went straight through the entire county, and went out from the east gate, and disappeared into the open field.

The chariot and horse team stretched for several miles, along the wide and smooth bluestone gallop road, through the wilderness, through Shanggu and Guangyang two counties, and finally entered the Yuyang range.

Along the way, what the envoys of the Western Regions countries in the convoy saw and heard, in addition to making them amazed, was extremely shocked.

Why?

First, there are many people in Youzhou!

The convoy passed through countless counties and counties, but the population of each city was more than their royal city! As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Especially in the era of cold weapons, it is the population that fights the war! With a large population, there is great potential for war!

Second, Youzhou is rich!

In every city and county, I have never seen a person with yellow face and thin muscles!

Every one of the people is well-fed and full of energy, doesn't this show that Youzhou is rich?

Third, grain.

Along the way, the gallop was lined with endless fields ploughed by ploughs. They didn't know why the land was being turned over, but they could see that it was all for food! These cultivated fields are so large that they are impossible to see at a glance, and it is difficult to imagine how much grain can be harvested each year.

With these backing conditions, with Youzhou's invincible and invincible army, who can stop it?

Originally, the envoys of the Western Regions, who still had a trace of luck in their hearts, were all in a heavy mood, and they were suffering from gains and losses.

Yuyang.

"My lord, the envoy of the Western Regions is almost here!" Frustrated, he burst into the door and said as he saluted.

Liu Yuan put down the book in his hand, stretched his waist lazily, and said indifferently: "Isn't it not here yet, what's the hurry?" ”

"Uh," he said in frustration, a sigh of shame. But no, it was the Western Regions Worship Envoys who should be anxious, not the side that he defeated in Youzhou. As a winner, it is right to put on a proud posture.

"Lord, I'm dizzy, I'm ashamed."

"You're a workaholic." Liu Yuan asked the professor to sit down and said, "In the past few years, many people who have graduated from Youzhou Academy have been assigned to you, why do you have to take care of them all?" Distribute it, let them do it, and rest and rest by themselves. ”

"Hey," he laughed dryly.

It's not that he doesn't want to rest, but he has formed a habit that can't be changed. At the beginning, there were only a few of them under Liu Yuan's command, one of them was responsible for a major aspect, and they have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow over the years, and it is really not easy to change it for a while.

"Okay, I know you care about this matter, our grand event in Youzhou is related to the glory of tens of millions of people in Youzhou, hehe, go down and prepare, early tomorrow morning, this king will accept the worship of the envoys from the Western Regions in the central square."

"Yes, my lord."

Frustrated, Liu Yuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, squinting slightly and not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Brother Xian, it's me."

Cao Ying's voice sounded outside the door.

"Brother Mengde?" Liu Yuan stood up, stepped forward to open the door, and welcomed Cao Ying in.

"Sit casually, your own family, hehehe."

Cao Ying was not restrained, sat down by himself, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is so leisurely." ”

At such a critical time, of course, in Cao Ying's opinion, it is indeed a critical time, Liu Yuan actually has a book, a bowl of tea, and a leisurely race fairy, which is really a little enviable, but more, it is impossible to see through.

"Hehe, it's not." Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "If there are subordinates who do their work, do you want them to do anything?" ”

Cao Ying shook his head and said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid that the people below will disobey the yang and yin?" ”

"Afraid, why not afraid? I'm afraid that they won't obey the yin, otherwise how can I do it? Liu Yuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"You're so incomprehensible." Cao Ying sighed: "Anyone who wants to hold power in their hands and hold it firmly is up to you, and you can rest assured that you can boldly delegate power." I'm not as good as you, I'm not as good as you. ”

"As the saying goes, there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. Since I can use them, it means that I am completely at ease with them. If something really goes wrong, one means that my vision is not good enough, and the other means that it is time to use the knife. Hehe, Brother Meng De, you're just too suspicious. Why bother, it's hard work, and it's not pleased. In my opinion, isn't fighting for the world just to enjoy it? Since you can't enjoy it, what kind of world do you have to fight for, it's better to go home and farm and enjoy your family. ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Competing for the world, the picture is enjoyment. What to enjoy? Enjoy the love of subordinates, the support of the people, and the admiration of eternity, this is one of them. Second, enjoying food, beauty, and a wonderful life is another ultimate goal of competing for the world.

If you can't get these, it's really better to go home and recuperate for a long time.

Cao Ying nodded slightly, no longer talked about this topic, and said, "In the past few days, I have visited Yuyang with Liu Jingsheng, Liu Jiyu and Mr. Wenju, and I have been quite surprised and emotional. Brother Xian, Brother Xian, how did you govern Youzhou? Can you give half a point to my brother? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he felt that Cao Ying was here to learn from it.

It is really a generation of heroes, with tenacity and perseverance, and will not be transferred for foreign objects. It seems that the prosperity of Yuyang and the grand event in Youzhou not only did not kill the ambition in his heart, but also played a role in inspiring.

"Hehe," Liu Yuan smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Meng De must have gained a lot from visiting Yuyang in the past few days, do you need me to say more?" ”

Cao Ying shook his head and said with a smile: "You, don't be sloppy with me." Those things, but they exist on the surface, and they seem to have gained a lot, but they are actually vague, where can they be gained? ”

"It's worthy of Brother Mengde." Liu Yuan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "But with Brother Meng De's intelligence, after seeing so much and listening to this, you should be able to understand the strong foundation of my Youzhou, and you can also understand the root of the weakness of the Central Plains, right?" ”

Cao Ying's face darkened and nodded.

"In that case, what else is there to ask?" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "If Brother Meng De can pull out the tumor of Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and then draw a scoop according to the gourd, how can he not make a prosperous era in Yanzhou?" ”

"Alas!" Cao Ying sighed and said, "What the virtuous brother said is good." The weakness of the Central Plains and the decay of the Han Dynasty are all due to the poison of this tumor! It's a pity, it's a pity, but the brother doesn't have the courage and strength to uproot it. ”

Cao Ying shook his head slowly: "For my brother, I can only boil the frog in warm water step by step and slowly suppress it." However, Cao Ying's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled: "I'm afraid that Brother Wei hasn't finished this matter yet, I'm afraid that Brother Xian is going to go south, right?" In other words, if you really do this for your brother, you will only make a wedding dress for your virtuous brother! ”

"Ah, hahaha," Liu Yuan laughed dryly twice, and said, "Brother Meng De doesn't need to be so straightforward, let Brother Wei's face look bad, hahaha"

"Brother Mengde!" Liu Yuan finished laughing, his face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "For my brother, I am determined to seize the world, all kinds of conditions have been met, and no one in the world can resist at all." Brother Meng De, I now sincerely invite you to join Youzhou, should you, should you? ”

Cao Ying was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Yuan to be more straightforward than him, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

After a long time, Cao Yingcai said: "If you shouldn't be a brother, what will a virtuous brother do?" ”

"Haha, Brother Mengde, Brother Mengde, you are still so suspicious!" Liu Yuan laughed and said: "You are my best friend, the two of us have known each other for ten years, and we call you brothers, you shouldn't, that's your business, can I still do anything to you?" At most, I have done one later, and it is not too late to ask you again! ”

Although Cao Ying's face did not change, he was obviously relieved, and said with a smile: "The virtuous brother is still the virtuous brother, and he is really suspicious for his brother." ”

The two diverted from the topic again and began to chat.

After all, I haven't seen each other for many years, and they are all very people, so it's really easy to find a topic to talk about.

Time slipped by, and at noon, the two had breakfast together, and chatted for a while, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

That's when the frustration came.

Cao Ying knew that he had a business report, so he immediately resigned and left.

"My lord, the envoys have arrived." So said the frustration.

"Well, arrange them in the inn, and inform them that this king will receive their worship in the central square tomorrow morning."

"No. Lord, do you still have some programs to prepare? Frustrated, he said.

"En" Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Just prepare some singing and dancing." I think they'll come up with some shows automatically, so we don't have to prepare too much. Liu Yuan said, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a strange smile.

He nodded appreciatively, turned around and walked out of the study.
