Chapter 125: They Can't Afford It

"Alas, say a thousand, say ten thousand, Your Highness, the territory you occupy now is too big!" After listening to Liu Tianhao's defense, Yuan Shao said quietly.

Too big a site? Liu Tianhao frowned, this is indeed a realistic situation, and he can't push it off if he wants to!

"The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, which of the states is not bigger than me Liu Tianhao?"

Yuan Shao heard that Liu Tianhao was still trying to quibble, and his face couldn't help but become more bitter, "Your Highness, where does the state assassin have military power?" You are now second only to Naxi Liang Dong Zhuo! ”

“……”

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that you and that Dong Zhuo had some conflicts in Shangjun last winter?" Seeing Liu Tianhao falling into thought, Yuan Shao suddenly asked.

"Well, it's just a little conflict, it's not a big deal! Dong Fatzi is too blind to no one, and he doesn't take General He in his eyes at all! By the way, let's not talk about Dong Zhuo, let's talk about my current territory, what are you doing this time? In addition to you Yuan Benchu and He Boqiu, who are the other two in the official post? Liu Tianhao's mind was not on Dong Zhuo at all, he only cared about the purpose of these people in Lunu City.

"Why does Your Highness bother me? Since our group entered the gate of Lunu City, it should have already reached the ears of His Highness, right? Yuan Shao asked Liu Tianhao instead of answering, with a hint of blame in his words, blaming Liu Tianhao for his outsight.

"Hehe, don't blame the first brother, I was too involved in thinking about things just now, so I forgot about you for a while! Sorry, sorry! Liu Tianhao said cheekily.

"Alas, in Luoyang City, the contradiction between the general and the eunuch is becoming more and more intense, just at this time, Your Highness, you are in the north, and the action is a little too big, and the eunuch thinks that His Royal Highness has expanded the army and territory so wantonly, which is to strengthen the strength of the general's department, so they are active and persuasive in front of the emperor every day, which is why we came to Lunu today!" Yuan Shao continued.

"Oh? What do the eunuchs want? Liu Tianhao asked directly.

"They persuaded the emperor that since Xianbei in the northern grassland has been defeated by His Royal Highness and fled to the depths of the grassland, then His Royal Highness's duty to be the general of Pingbei and guard the border pass is naturally to return the Son of Heaven! Your Highness only needs to enjoy the glory and wealth in Zhongshan Kingdom with peace of mind! Yuan Shao said slowly.

"So, Feng Xu and Xu Feng are here to take over my military power? The general so easily let the eunuch take back my military power? I think, since the army can't go back to Luoyang, then naturally this military power won't go back to the fifth school of the Northern Army, right? Let Feng Xu and Xu Feng be in charge of the military affairs of the three counties? Liu Tianhao asked repeatedly.

"This? Alas, the general was already in charge of the Northern Army of the Gyeonggi garrison in Luoyang, and the emperor also had a grudge against this, and after all, the eunuchs served the emperor day and night, and the emperor trusted them very much, so even if the general tried every persuasion, the emperor finally agreed to the eunuch's suggestion! ”

"Hehe, since the emperor wants to transfer the military power of the three counties to Eunuch, why is it only Feng Xu and Xu Feng, and not others? I heard that Zhongchang Jian Shuo is also strong and martial, and he is quite trusted by the emperor, why didn't he come to take over my military power? Liu Tianhao frowned and asked.

"This, uh, it seems that Feng Xu and Xu Feng tried their best to fight in front of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and these eunuchs recommended the two of them! Moreover, the emperor trusts Jian Shuo, and he is reluctant to let him suffer in the bitter cold land of the border plug! Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Haha, I see! I see, Brother Benchu, thank you! Liu Tianhao suddenly thought of something, and said with a laugh.

"Your Highness, I'm just here to inform you, and I don't deserve your Highness's thanks! Moreover, what about informing His Highness? The two of them have already come with a royal edict, but my actions are already useless! ”

"No, no, no, the first brother is too worried! Feng Xu and Xu Feng can't take away my military power, they can't afford it! Liu Tianhao said confidently.

"Oh? Your Highness? ”

"You don't have to ask too much at the beginning, tomorrow will know!" Liu Tianhao obviously didn't want to reveal too much.

Yuan Shao quietly returned to the official post with a stomach full of questions.

On the second day, Liu Tianhao still got up before dawn to train, and did not delay his homework because a few people from Luoyang came to Lunu City.

However, since the imperial court came, Liu Tianhao still gathered all the officials in Lunu City in the Zhongshan Palace, waiting for Feng Xu, Xu Feng, and Yuan Shao to come!

Finally, when it was about nine o'clock, Feng Xu finally arrived at Liu Tianhao's mansion.

"Lord Feng, Lord Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Liu Tianhao said politely to Feng Xu and Yuan Shao.

"His Royal Highness was still guarding the enemy in the clouds in the bitter cold land last year, but now he has returned to the fiefdom of Zhongshan, which can be regarded as a successful retirement!" Feng Xu Pi said with a smile.

"Alas, I am also in Zhongshan, my heart is in the grassland, although I resisted Xianbei Koubian a few times last year, but the thief's heart is not dead, and he is still patrolling in the clouds, not far north of Daijun, and there is a tendency to reoffend!" Although he already knew the intentions of Feng Xu and Xu Feng from Yuan Shao's mouth, Liu Tianhao still had to make a fuss.

"Oh? Then, that general, why didn't His Highness continue to go deep into the steppe and defeat it? Xu Bong interjected on the side.

"Huh? Who is this? Liu Tianhao pretended not to know Xu Feng, and asked Feng Xu 'curiously'.

"This is Xu Feng, who is the emperor's attendant with me!" Feng Xu said.

"It turned out to be Lord Xu! Lord Xu didn't know, although I led my troops to defeat the Helian Department of the Kou prisoner and Yanmen in the state last year, but among the Xianbei people, not all of them are incompetent people like Helian, on the contrary, there is no shortage of brave and resourceful people in the Xianbei barbarians, and the Xianbei people are good at archery and horse riding, and our Han army is not as good as it! If you attack easily, I am afraid that it will damage the soldiers and horses of our Han army, and even more so the majesty of our Han army! In the past half a year, the defenders in the clouds have not failed to attack the grassland, however, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although our Han army has also repeatedly gained, however, there are losses, and even lost several battles, losing several yuan of my generals! Liu Tianhao made a choreography out of nothing and said, he wanted to scare and scare Feng Xu and Xu Feng.

Sure enough, when Xu Feng heard Liu Tianhao say this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "No, didn't it mean that the Xianbei people had already been expelled to the depths of the grassland by His Highness, and the border was already stable?" How can there be war? ”

Seeing Xu Feng's appearance, Feng Xu and Yuan Shao couldn't help but glance at him with disdain, not to mention whether what Liu Tianhao said was not empty, even if it was true, you wouldn't be so afraid, right? Since Liu Tianhao has arrived in Zhongshan Country, this shows that even if the grassland is really not peaceful, it has definitely not reached a very serious point, look at the virtue you are scared!

"Oh! His Royal Highness guarded the three counties of the north last year, and the hard work was high, and he also basically pacified the large number of Koubian Xianbei thieves, and now His Royal Highness has returned to the Zhongshan fiefdom, the emperor is sympathetic to His Royal Highness, and ordered me and Xu Feng to come to act on behalf of His Royal Highness Pingbei General, and guard the three counties, His Royal Highness can enjoy the glory and wealth in Zhongshan with peace of mind! Feng Xu didn't care about Xu Feng's reaction, but just said to Liu Tianhao.

"Oh?" Although Liu Tianhao learned about the purpose of Feng Xu and Xu Feng coming to Zhongshan from Yuan Shao last night, he still felt interesting to hear Feng Xu talk about it in person now.

After Feng Xu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Tianhao, but he didn't find the reaction he was expecting, according to what he thought, shouldn't Liu Tianhao have a shocked expression? Why is it now a picture that doesn't matter at all?

"Well, this is the emperor's decree, please take a look at it!" Feng Xu took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Tianhao.

Liu Tianhao stretched out his hand to take the roll of yellow silk, didn't look at it, turned his hand and put it behind his back, just stared at Feng Xu with a smile, silent.

Feng Xu was baffled by Liu Tianhao's actions, so he opened his mouth and reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Hehe, no need, can the edict be fake?" Liu Tianhao blurted out.

"That?" Feng Xu was stared at by Liu Tianhao, and even Yuan Shao, Xu Feng, and Liu Tianhao's own subordinate Jia Xu on the side were puzzled, and they all looked at Liu Tianhao suspiciously.

"Hehe, according to what you just said, that is to say, from today onwards, I, Liu Tianhao, am only the general of Zhongshan Guoxing, not the general of Pingbei of the Han Dynasty? So, the military power of the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun should also be handed over to the two adults? Liu Tianhao's eyes flashed with a playful light.

"Well, yes, that's right! The emperor is sympathetic to His Royal Highness, and he is only appointed like this! ”

Feng Xu really beat the drum in his heart, he really didn't understand how Liu Tianhao could have such an expression, if he was angry for a while, it would be reasonable, after all, Liu Tianhao was an out-and-out murderer in the eyes of the group of people in Luoyang; And now, seeing that the power is about to be relieved, but he still has such an indifferent expression, which is indeed beyond Feng Xu's expectations, and Liu Tianhao's expression always feels a little panicked when it falls in Feng Xu's eyes!

"Haha, hey, I can finally relax and relax! Not bad, not bad! Liu Tianhao suddenly sneered and said slowly.

When Jia Xu and the others behind him heard Liu Tianhao's words, their faces changed greatly. When they were called by Liu Tianhao in the morning, they only heard that Liu Tianhao had already made up their minds, but they didn't know how Liu Tianhao would deal with this tricky matter; I just heard Liu Tianhao say this, where is this a plan, it is clear that you have to obey obediently!

Yuan Shao's expression was not much better, and he muttered to himself in his heart, Your Highness, you didn't say this last night?

"Your Highness! Your Highness is wise! Feng Xu was overjoyed when he heard Liu Tianhao's words, and pulled Xu Feng to bow to Liu Tianhao.

"I naturally have to hand over the military power according to the emperor's orders! However, I can't leave it to the two of you! Liu Tianhao changed his words and said fiercely.
