"Well, that's all there is to it. However, it would be better to send an envoy to show our goodwill. What if Liu Ye is sincere to me. Liu Biaoben's ambition was slightly raised, but after listening to the words of the two, he immediately extinguished this idea and nodded in agreement.

"I don't know who to go to?" Liu Biao then asked.

"Ma Liang can go." Kuai Yue replied without thinking.

"Okay, immediately send Ma Liang to Runan." Liu Biao ordered.

Runan

During this time, the whole of Runan County has also undergone great changes.

Liu Pizhi and his ilk in Runan County are also remnants of the Yellow Turban, they are greedy for pleasure and do not care about the people's livelihood at all. Therefore, before Liu Ye came, the tax burden of the entire county in Runan was very heavy.

On the one hand, he had to support Liu Bi's elite soldiers, and on the other hand, he had to support Liu Pi's own luxury. Saying that he is the second Yuan Shu is estimated that no one objects.

Therefore, the situation in Runan as a whole is also relatively bleak, even if Yuan Shao gave him a lot of heavy grain and grass, but Liu Xun still did not let go of the people.

But everything was different when Liu Ye came, and while he sold Liu Pi's treasures, he ordered to reduce the tax burden and encourage farming.

While allowing the people to take a breath, they also earned a certain prestige.

These are the situations of a city in Runan, and in the entire Runan County, Liu Ye also launched a military expansion. He sent special officials to more than ten county towns to issue local county orders. Those who do not surrender will directly attack the city, and those who resist will be executed. Seeing this scene, the county commander called out that the wolf was coming, and with the determination of "resolutely" in the scolding, he "surrendered" without frowning.

Liu Ye promised that the people would definitely live a better life than they had now, so that they would not have to worry about their future lives and thus avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

As for the county order, it will continue to be used, but Liu Ye will not give them real power at all. At present, there are not enough management talents in Liu Ye's hands, so he can only use them first. However, they had to be appointed as county commanders in a different place, and all the county soldiers in the government service should be sent to take over, and only obey the command of the officers, and the county commanders could not be commanded at all, so that the foundation of their rebellion would be cut off.

Regarding Liu Ye's "so generous" concession conditions, he naturally gritted his teeth and "agreed" with tears.

So far, Liu Ye has subdued the entire Runan County in the real sense.

But the small Runan County did not make Liu Ye arrogant. Because Liu Ye knows that the lord is determined to be in the world, and the little Runan is just a springboard, he wants to seek greater results for the lord.

However, even if Liu Ye thinks so, the whole world does not dare to underestimate it.

Runan County, more than ten cities, more than 200,000 people, plus 180,000 people brought by Liu Ye from Shouchun.

In total, there were 380,000 people.

Now Liu Biao and his ilk are only between 1 and 2 million, so 380,000 people can be regarded as relatively large princes in the world.

Liu Ye cut taxes in Runan, won the hearts of the people, and obtained the right to rule the entire Runan County, and Runan has entered a period of rapid development.

These are Liu Ye's achievements in governing Runan, in the military, Liu Ye in the original 5,000 elite soldiers, Liu Ye surrendered Liu Pi's original 8,000 elite soldiers, and selected 7,000 of them to join his own army.

In this way, there are 12,000 elite soldiers. Although the combat effectiveness of the army could not be formed in a moment, at least it had momentum.

The perfect rule of Runan, coupled with the increase in troops, can be said that Liu Ye's situation is very good.

In this way, it gives people the feeling of being based in Runan and deeply rooted. This means that there is more value in wooing, and if you don't know how to govern after breaking through Runan, the value will naturally be reduced a lot.

Liu Ye's governance of Runan and the enhancement of momentum are for this purpose.

The benefits are also obvious, the princes of the world, such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, are bound to win over Liu Ye, who is sitting in Runan. But they are far away after all.

It was some of the surrounding princes who really got the news quickly and acted on it.

Liu Xun's envoys were the first to arrive. Although it is a family, it is still necessary to pretend. After all, Liu Xun is the closest prince to Liu Ye, and it would be strange if he didn't come to show favor, and it would easily arouse the suspicion of others.

And this trip is preparing to turn his face with Liu Ye. In this way, Cao Cao can put his mind at ease to prepare for the battle of Guandu, continue to be Liu Xun's pawn, and create surplus value for him.

In the final analysis, there is still a big gap between Liu Xun's military level and Cao Cao. Cao Cao can seize the opportunity in the battle of Guandu, he has that sensitivity, and gambling nature. If it is replaced by Liu Xun, he basically can't win against Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao, the land of the four states of Hebei, brought a million, and the momentum was magnificent, and all the princes were out of breath like a mountain, and only Cao Cao, a hero, could stop him and defeat him.

Liu Xun knows his level very well, and his ability to pacify Jiangdong is a fairy-like combat power in the eyes of outsiders. Every plan is accurate, in fact, the real situation is only known to Liu Xun himself. He is just a descendant, who knows where the battlefield is going and uses it.

Therefore, no matter what, Cao Cao must attack Yuan Shao with peace of mind and get rid of the first prince in the world for him. Then, when they both lose, it will be his only chance. After all, when the war is over, his prophet will disappear completely.

At this moment, in the hall of the Taishou Mansion in Runan, Liu Yegao sat in the first place, and a man kneeling down sat a man, about thirty years old, very literati.

This person is Liu Xun's envoy, and it is Zhang Hong, who was not reused after Liu Xun captured Jiangdong. This person was an official of Sun Quan and an official of Cao Cao. Well, now that I'm working under him again, it's hard to say that this is probably a three-surname slave.

Liu Xun himself doesn't know whether he is loyal or not, and he thinks that this kind of person is disloyal to him. So of course this kind of soy sauce and Liu Ye's fake face turning has to be done by him. If Zhang Hong was telling Cao Cao afterwards, Liu Xun and Liu Ye would have a big contradiction, and I believe that Cao Cao would be more acceptable, and he would be even more lax at that time.

Just now, Liu Ye had already met with Zhang Hong, and talked about some inconsequential things.

Finally, Zhang Hong couldn't bear it anymore, raised his fist and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I came to ask my lord for something on the orders of my lord. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing, sir, and I should listen to it." Liu Ye was relieved when he heard this, raised his hand and said, muttering secretly in his heart that it seemed that the time for acting had come.

Liu Ye knew that although the messenger in front of him said that he was sent by the lord, he didn't know his relationship with the lord at all. Sending him here is probably because the lord wants to make his tricks more realistic. By the way, let's see if Zhang Hong is really sincere.

“

My father-in-law hopes that Liu Taishou can dedicate Shouchun City, and if this matter is successful, my father-in-law will definitely thank you. And my lord praises you a lot, if you want to defect to my lord, my lord will definitely use it for you. Zhang Hong raised his fist and pleaded.

Hearing this, Liu Ye's face was suddenly gloomy as water, but he knew it in his heart. At this moment, Liu Ye asked stiffly: "Although I have captured Runan County, I will never give Shouchun to others." Not an inch of my Liu Ye's land is superfluous, Mrs. Liu is a good official, and he wants one of my counties with one mouth, please forgive me for not agreeing. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Hong couldn't help but show a look of sorrow on his face, but he was extremely happy for Liu Xun's mistake in his heart.

When Liu Xun explained this to him before he came, many people felt that it was unreliable to do so, who knew that Liu Xun was extremely arrogant, did not listen to the advice of Liu Panjin and others, and insisted on doing so. Of course, these people include Zhang Hong himself, but he has no intention of persuading. Now that his prophecy has come true, no one believes it if he wants to say that he is unwilling.

Zhang Hong has not been valued by Liu Xun since he surrendered, and he has a lot of affection for the Sun family, so how can he have a good impression of Liu Xun.

In order to make Liu Xun and Liu Ye make enemies, Zhang Hong deliberately said arrogantly: "My family is the master of the bus, if Liu Taishou does not agree, then we can only forcibly take Shouchun, if it goes well, then Runan County will soon be wiped out, as for the adult, your life is not guaranteed." ”

"Liu Xun is a dog thief, he is too deceitful and arrogant. I think I, Liu Ye, started with a thousand elite soldiers, I haven't seen any winds and waves, if he Liu Xun dares to come, I will make him lose all his money. ”

Liu Ye pondered in his heart for a moment, then said with a red face and righteous indignation. But I thought in my heart, don't blame me for scolding you, this is forced by the situation.

After Zhang Hong moved in his heart for a while, he proudly raised his head and asked Liu Ye: "I don't know how many armor, how many war horses, how many bows and arrows, and how much grain there are in the adult army?" Even with your strength, you dare to compete with my lord, it's just wishful thinking, if you don't agree, I will report back to my lord immediately. Next time it's a war to meet, I don't know if you can be prepared. ”

Liu Ye couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and scolded loudly: "A small official dares to be so arrogant, he Liu Xun will fight if he wants to fight, who am I Liu Ye afraid of." I started alone until now, and I have been invincible all the way, and no one can stop me, so I have my current status. If I don't punish you, how can I face my subordinates and how to face the heroes of the world. “

"Someone dragged him down, gave me a hard beating of 20 boards, and taught him how to behave. If his master is not convinced and wants to fight with us, we will not give in, and we will fight if we want to, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer. “

Zhang Hong was instantly blindfolded, isn't it time for you to start a war with Liu Xun? I wish you could get into a fight with Liu Xun quickly. But spanking me has a few meanings, and you have the ability to go to Liu Xun.

Zhang Hongsheng blushed and scolded angrily: "How dare you treat the envoy like this, where do you put me in Jiangdong, where do you put my lord in Jiangdong." "Before being beaten, I had to give Liu Xun a little more hatred and increase their bargaining chips for swords.

But it was Liu Jie who answered him and directly lay down his pants with his own hands and directly hit twenty boards. Until Zhang Hong rolled his eyes and fainted.
