Tuwei is really a bit non-mainstream, Liu Cang's original expectation of elite troops to the north was useless, and with the help of the Xianbei coalition army, the Tuwei tribe was torn apart.

The soldiers were also transferred, the baggage was also transported, and it seemed a bit of a loss to return without a fight, Liu Cang led the flying cavalry back to Shanggu, and simply released the two battalions of soldiers, taking advantage of the winter to plunder in the western part of the grassland.

Huangfu Song and Cai Yong from Liaodong returned to Luoyang, and Roxana took her immortal army to find a mountain to hunt and hunt beasts.

In Jicheng, Youzhou, Liu Yu set up a banquet, invited Liu Cang, talked about the interesting things of the past years, and talked about the taxation of Zhuo County.

In recent years, Zhuo County has prospered, reclamation and expansion, livestock flourishing, and fiscal and tax revenue can be described as the crown of Youzhou.

Liu Yu took advantage of the situation to assign miscellaneous taxes to the local government, and Liu Cangzuo guaranteed half of the land tax to be transferred to the state capital, and the atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious, and the topic gradually turned to the border war.

"Although Your Highness's country is large, you will die after a long battle. Now that Xianbei is in flames, we should induce the establishment of diplomatic relations at this time, or we can support the tribes that are interested in the Han Dynasty to establish a momentum, blindly plunder, and increase the feud, which is not a long-term solution. ”

The singing and dancing continued, the literati and scholars in the hall exchanged and respected each other, and Liu Yu said to Liu Cang, who was sitting with him, chatting.

"Haha, don't bully the orphan, how can you not know the reason that you will die after a long war?" Liu Cang said with a smile.

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. There will always be a feud in this thing. If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger lonely, you won't say much, but if you fund the situation, don't raise the tiger for trouble. ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, the two Xianbei departments of Liaodong and Liaoxi died due to chaos, and a large area of fertile land was left outside the pass, and no one grazed and cultivated, which is a bit of a waste." Liu Yu shook his head and smiled.

"Oh? Can you have the heart to move the people? Or let the Yuyang Hu people open up pastures? Liu Cang asked back.

"This.

。 Liu Yu hesitated.

Obviously, Liu Yu stopped Liu Cang to set up a banquet mainly to talk about Liu Cang's sending soldiers to loot outside the pass.

After the Tuwei Rebellion, a large amount of uninhabited fertile land did appear in the area of Weishui and Raoleshui.

Don't look at Liu Yu's closeness to foreigners, but he also knows that if the Han Huqiang is put over there, it won't take a few years, and I'm afraid it will be another group of knocking tribes.

Supporting Xianbei cannot guarantee that the other party will not disturb the Han again after gaining power, but it is a routine operation, and it can also scold the other party for being ungrateful.

But if he lets people out and is rebelled, Liu Yu doesn't want to bear the name of foolishness.

Compared with other princes, Liu Yu is more like a pure politician, and Liu Cang reluctantly shook his head at this.

"Alas~, the old man is not stupid, the perennial conscription in the border area to prevent the small night, the end is to work the people and hurt the people, the old man is dedicated to mediation, and he has been troubled for many years. It made the outside world have a bad reputation for suppressing people. Hehe. Liu Yu laughed at himself.

"Haha, who doesn't know that you are dedicated to the people?"

And this name of treating Hu Qiang well may be discordant elsewhere. But in this northern Youzhou, so that you can respond to all calls, this notoriety is untrue, untrue, haha, don't mention it. Liu Cang laughed and teased, and Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and was suspicious.

"Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness is planning to destroy Tuwei and strengthen my great man's majesty, and I respect Your Highness." Seeing that Liu Cang and Liu Yu were a little stiff in their communication, Tian Chou stood up at the right time and toasted Liu Cang.

"To Your Highness." Tian Chou raised his head, and everyone in the hall saluted in unison.

"It's useless, Xianbei infighting, it's just the right time." Liu Cang drank politely.

"Your Highness, there are many ghost corpse soldiers in Xianbei now, and these corpse soldiers are tireless, difficult to prevent and destroy. The border soldiers were worried, and the governor was also distressed by this matter. ”

"Youzhou border defense urgently needs a group of degraded people on duty, I don't know what His Highness has gained this time? Can there be a gluttonous head that can be transferred? Tian Chou said again, Liu Yu shook his head and waved his hand.

"Hehe, Zitai's temperament, today's feast, don't talk about that gluttonous beast." Liu Yu said casually, but no one answered, Liu Yu still blinked his eyes and looked at Liu Cang, obviously waiting for Liu Cang to answer.

"Zitai is worried about the people and the army, and he should be a good talent." Tian Chou was young, Liu Cang didn't make a sound, and Jia Xu was full of praise.

"In the early days of chaotic wars, gluttony died among hundreds of thousands of degraded people, and it was really difficult to obtain. Take a little head in the army, if Zitai is interested, you might as well talk about it after the banquet. Xu Pingsu admires the gentleman and is benevolent, and should respect the monarch. When Jia Xu said, he bowed to Liu Yu with wine.

Liu Yu politely drank back, and Liu Cangran smiled on his expression.

"Guarding the border is really a big deal, Xianbei is still gluttonous, it should be strictly guarded against, why don't you send an army to Shanggu alone?" Liu Cang asked Liu Yu.

"Haha, Your Highness personally extinguishes the hidden danger of Tuwei, today is celebrating His Highness, don't say something laborious, all the gentlemen drink this cup." Liu Yu personally poured wine for Liu Cang, and then raised a glass, but he didn't answer Liu Cang's words.

Obviously, Liu Yu wanted to buy the gluttonous secret medicine, and he didn't really want Liu Cang to install forces in Youzhou again.

Liu Yu knows that Liu Cang is strong and can be described as a hegemon, but Liu Cang has exhausted his manpower and material resources to develop Yangzhou on a large scale The news has spread all over the country, and he is still the prince and king of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to say everything by force.

If Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou are still worried about Liu Cang's infiltration because they border Yangzhou, Liu Yu is not worried that Liu Cang will come to Youzhou.

Always pay attention to the trends in Zhuo County, and for the time being, Gongsun Zhan, the only one who makes Liu Yu scruples, is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, and Liu Yu tries to maintain a good intersection with Liu Cang.

After three rounds of drinking, the literati and scholars in the palace also began to have some prodigal behaviors, chanting poetry and drinking, drunken step and sword dance, arrogant expression of ambition and other behaviors are not uncommon.

The Han Dynasty paid attention to etiquette, but it was far less strict and pretentious than in later generations, and Liu Cang and Liu Yu also clapped their hands from time to time, accompanying a group of people to praise and laugh.

"Haoxuan, you and I are both clan relatives, and the old man doesn't say anything foreign to you." Liu Yu seemed to be drunk, and he became closer and closer to Liu Cang.

"Jizhou Yuan Shao is ambitious, how can the old man not know, but that Gongsun Zhan's reckless behavior makes the old man have a headache."

"The old man just wants to defend Youzhou for the Han Dynasty and create a place for the people to recuperate." Liu Yu was drunk and hazy.

"Now that the clan is weak, the old man doesn't believe in Haoxuan. However, how many pairs of eyes looked at the old man in Youzhou Mansion. The old man wants to use gluttonous secret medicine to build a corpse soldier to protect the Han, I wonder if Haoxuan can sell gluttony? Liu Yu asked Liu Cang.

"Yes.

。 Liu Cang pondered.

"If a degraded person wants to be strong, he still needs to be fed with the blood of Mengbeasts and foreign beasts, and this consumption is not as simple as gluttonous secret medicine." When Liu Cang spoke, Liu Yu nodded and listened.

"There are still more than 20 ready-made gluttonous heads in Lone Hands, and there are beasts in Lone Circle, which will be raised and cultivated in the future." Liu Cang introduced, Liu Yu's eyes flickered.

"Gluttonous beasts, lonely will definitely not flow out. The envoy may also go to the Xianbei grassland to search and hunt. Liu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Liu Cang continued.

"If you want to buy gluttonous heads, thousands of people can exchange their brains, regardless of men and women, young and strong." Liu Cangping was calm, and Liu Yu's expression froze.

"This.

。 Liu Yu pointed to the Mosuo wine lord, as if he hesitated.

"Haoxuan wants to capture slave Xianbei?" Liu Yu asked.

"It is not a good thing to practice the slave way." Liu Cang shook his head, and Liu Yu stroked his beard in agreement.

"The lonely desire to use the degraded people as forced labor, develop the Han land, and reduce the labor of the people." Liu Cang said again, and Liu Yu's fingers tightened.

"Hiss~~" Liu Yu plucked out a few of his beards by mistake and gasped.

Mother, what you said is so reasonable, this is much more evil than a big slave, a thousand people have a gluttonous head, you are afraid that you want to make Xianbei extinct, right?

"Haoxuan's offer is also valid for Gongsun Zhan? Gongsun Chan is ruthless in his heart, and if he attacks the foreign clans who enter the Han Dynasty, it will eventually lead to trouble. After a short gaffe, Liu Yu asked softly.

"Gongsun Chan is really not good at governing the people, and he has no intention of favoring Gongsun." Liu Cang shook his head.

"If the old man swears to keep Youzhou forever for my big man, Haoxuan can trust the old man?" Liu Yu pointed out, Liu Cang was slightly stunned.

"Hehe, make the monarch proud, Haoxuan admires. This batch of gluttony in the lonely hand will not flow out, and if it is sold again, it will definitely be informed by the king. Liu Cang smiled and toasted Liu Yu with a drink.

Disappointment flashed on Liu Yu's face, obviously Liu Cang understood what he meant, but the support Liu Cang gave him did not satisfy him.

"Hehe, let the old man think about it." Liu Yu raised his glass and drank with Liu Cang.

Liu Yu has a very strong public base in Youzhou, but unfortunately, more of his popular base comes from foreign races. In the eyes of the Han family, Liu Yu is more like a mascot with a good character.

He lacks some of the qualities of the princes of the troubled times, and the restraining effect on the struggle between the Han families is real, if he does not directly worship Liu Cang, Liu Cang will obviously not put too much money on him.

Liu Cang gave him some support, but if he wanted to get gluttonous secret medicine from him, he would go to the grassland to hunt slaves.

While the two were talking, Xu Qun quietly came to the banquet venue and called out Jia Xu, and in a moment Jia Xu walked quickly to Liu Cang's side.

"Huh? Yagi? Jia Xu leaned into Liu Cang's ear and whispered, Liu Cang's expression was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help blurting out questions.
