Chapter 143: This revenge also

A group of cavalry, totaling more than 700 people, hurried to the post house near Yanqi Kingdom.

And Liu Yu was already waiting here.

When the commander of the knights stepped out of the carriage, Liu Yu hurriedly led everyone to meet him.

This post house was a garrison of the Han army in the past, and later served as an important outpost on Loulan Road, where the local garrison was only a few dozen people, responsible for guarding the surrounding thieves and ensuring road safety.

Liu Yu had arrived here four days earlier.

He didn't bring many people, but he brought more than 30 cavalry with him.

Deng Zhong turned over and dismounted, and at a glance saw Liu Yu standing in the crowd in the distance, and he smiled and stepped forward to salute.

"Gong Liu!"

Liu Yu returned the salute and arranged for the officials to take care of the cavalry brought by Deng Zhong, and he walked into the courtyard with Deng Zhong.

The area was too small to accommodate cavalry of this size, so it could only be temporarily camped.

The two walked into the inner room one after the other, letting the left and right leave, and Deng Zhong hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Liu Wei had a straight face, quite serious, he invited Deng Zhong to sit down, he poured tea, and then sat next to Deng Zhong.

"Qiuzi and Yanqi are at war."

The relationship between Qiuzi and Yanqi is not good, even Deng Zhong, who is far away in Gaochang, has heard about this matter, and heard that the kings of the two countries are very disgusted with each other, they have humiliated each other, and they have also acted aggressively, but what makes Deng Zhong can't understand is that with Liu Yu staring at them, how dare they go to war? ?

Deng Zhong was a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that Liu Yu deliberately let them fight?

Since King Shanshan chose to go to Luoyang, all the countries of Shazhou have been affected one after another, and several small countries have also followed King Shanshan to go to Luoyang, and they have all been valued by Cao Chao and rewarded.

And these small states also ushered in a new era under the direct jurisdiction of the temple, and the temple sent the corresponding minister or county order to govern these countries.

To be honest, some small countries want to set up counties, but it is too reluctant.

Liu Wei is very keen on this matter, and he feels that the current governance of Shazhou is really chaotic.

Cao Chao's request to them was to ensure the safety of the trade routes, build more post houses, repair the broken sentry guard towers, strengthen mutual contacts and contacts, and so on.

But when this order was conveyed to Xiao Wang everywhere, the execution became extremely chaotic.

These kings only thought about personal enjoyment, and studied how to oppress the people at the bottom with the nobles in the country, and they learned advanced exploitation experience from the Central Plains.

The temple was to mobilize the people to cultivate the cultivated land and use it as public land, either as a reward or as a rent.

King Qiuzi turned all the cultivated land in the hands of the people into his own, and then sold it to the nobles at a high price, and even sold it to the nobles of other small countries.

Liu Wei had a great opinion of them, believing that unless they were directly managed by the temple, it would be difficult to fulfill the emperor's orders.

Therefore, when he suddenly received news that two small countries were fighting, Deng Zhong's first suspicion was the long history in front of him.

After all, with Great Wei on the sidelines, he couldn't imagine how these two small countries would dare to go to war.

Liu Wei met Deng Zhong's gaze with a calm face.

"Although I intend to promote the abolition of the country and the establishment of counties, Your Majesty has issued an order not to allow civil war among countries, and I will not disobey Your Majesty's edict to provoke civil strife among them."

Liu Yu said very seriously.

He wouldn't lie about such things.

He can ignore the assassination, but he can't do what the emperor has expressly forbidden.

Deng Zhong nodded, "What Gong Liu said is that I know that King Yanqi and King Qiuzi are at odds, but I don't know why they suddenly went to war?" ”

"Yanqi Wang Longan is seriously ill, and he has ignored the government and politics, and it is his son who is in charge of major affairs at the moment."

"This son of his, arrogant, unruly, unruly, unscrupulous, pretentious, self-esteem, ambitious"

It can be seen that Liu Yu's evaluation of this prince is very low, and he almost threw all the words he could use on the other party's head.

Deng Zhong asked curiously, "What is this person's name?" ”

"Yes."

Deng Zhong suddenly fell silent.

This is to blame on Lao Wang Longan, what name is not good for his son, he has to name it Hui, can this not be unruly?

I didn't expect that my Shazhou could produce such talents! I thought it was exclusive to the temple.

Deng Zhong asked, "Then do we need to make a move to stop him?" ”

Liu Yu is also thinking about this question now.

His Majesty will not allow small local civil strife, and the behavior of the Dragon Society seems to have violated the emperor's edict, and troops should be sent to fight against it.

However, Baishan, the king of Qiuzi, is not a good thing, this guy heard that Long An was seriously ill, and he actually sent someone to mock him, which made Long An furious, and ordered his son: You must avenge me!

As a result, the Dragon Society may have misunderstood what his father meant, and when his father was seriously ill and lying on the bed, he directly led the troops to the battle, wanting to capture Baishan alive to relieve his father's boredom.

For these two people, Liu Yu can't say that he likes them.

"Bai Shan ignored my original warning and provoked, and the Dragon Society blatantly violated His Majesty's edict and sent troops to fight"

Deng Zhong's eyes lit up, and he stopped talking.

Liu Yu glanced at him, "What does Duke Deng have to teach me?" ”

Deng Zhong looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Since the return of King Shanshan, many countries have followed suit, but these two countries, one is a strong country in the past, and the other is a new upstart who has just risen, and the two are not satisfied, causing chaos in many places. ”

"This time the two of them are at war, in fact, it is not a bad thing for us."

"In the past, we had the intention of setting up counties and counties, but there was no reason to do it, this time they blatantly violated the edict, but gave us the opportunity to do it, I think, we can treat it as if we don't know."

"Whether it is the victory of Qiuzi or the victory of Yanqi, we all have a reason to crusade against its king and set up a county"

Deng Zhong took advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right and said his thoughts.

He wanted to reap the benefits of the fishermen, so he just watched them fight and then go and kill the victors.

In this way, both countries can directly set up counties and be governed by temples, isn't this what Changshi and the school captain have been looking forward to?

Listening to Deng Zhong's words, Liu Yu's heart was still a little shaken.

In fact, the war between the two countries was not a bad thing for Liu Yu and others, and even gave them a chance, a good opportunity to make contributions.

This is also the reason why Deng Zhong was suspicious of Liu Yu before.

But Liu Yu thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "No."

This matter is good for Liu Yu and others, but from the general direction, it may not be a good thing for the temple.

His Majesty has issued several orders to maintain the smooth flow of trade routes, so that the Changshi Mansion must deal with the situation here and prohibit infighting.

If you let them go to infighting, and then take the opportunity to take credit for themselves, Liu Wei thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt a little cold in his neck.

This will be cut!!

Liu Yu looked at Deng Zhong, who was full of ignorance, and couldn't help but explain.

"If Your Majesty learns that we are sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, doing nothing, and allowing them to fight for the sake of meritorious service, I am afraid that he will mistakenly think that the fight was provoked by us, and when the time comes."

Deng Zhong also reacted, and he hurriedly said: "Dissuade, you have to dissuade as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Wei said again: "The assassin must have informed His Majesty of this matter, and we had better go and persuade him." ”

When Deng Zhong heard this, he was very helpless.

It's obviously a good opportunity, but they can't profit from it, and they even have to discourage it, which is annoying to think about.

Looking at Deng Zhong with a sad face, Liu Yu suddenly showed a different smile.

"Do not be worried, for it is not our duty to dissuade us from fighting, but what can we do if they do not listen to us? Do you have to fight them in order to stop them from fighting? ”

Deng Zhong was stunned, "What does Liu Gong mean??" ”

"I am ready to go there myself and persuade them to stop fighting, as for whether they are willing to listen, I dare not guarantee that I will do my best, but if they do not listen to dissuasion and insist on going to war, then I will not be able to do anything."

Deng Zhong suddenly understood, and he said with a smile: "This is the purpose of you inviting me to come??" ”

"Yes, I hope that Duke Deng can go with me and do my best to dissuade them from going to war."

Deng Zhong nodded, he wasn't worried about what would happen to him.

These people would not dare to do anything to the officials of Great Wei unless they were crazy.

Whether it is Long'an father and son, or Baishan, they are all kings who were supported by the Later Han Dynasty, and now they can rely on the Great Wei to be the king and hegemon in the local area, and they are not used to each other, but the tribute and trade have never been interrupted.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu and others are not easy to start, after all, the relationship between people and the emperor is good, and Long An has also sent people to pay tribute to the emperor many times.

If Liu Yu attacked them for the sake of direct management, and they sent a letter to the emperor, it would be a big incident.

The two immediately decided to go to persuade them.

Deng Zhong did not bring all the knights, he was afraid of being frightened, he only brought more than 30 people, and followed Liu Yu to the Yanqi Kingdom, ready to persuade them to put aside the dispute.

Because the place where they are now stationed is not far from the Yanqi Kingdom, they were soon able to appear in front of the royal palace.

It's just that the current Yanqi Prince Dragon Club did not come to greet them, and it was the Minister of the Interior Long Xuan who received them.

Long Xuan is the cousin of the Dragon Society, and he is also the most trusted minister of Long An.

"The king has been in a coma for three days, and he has not woken up until now, but I am afraid that alas."

Long Xuan's eyes were full of sadness.

Liu Wei followed him to see Long An, and it was indeed as Long Xuan said, he was already terminally ill, but he was afraid that there was not much time left.

Liu Yu couldn't help but ask about the situation of the Prince Dragon Society.

"Alas, the prince has sworn to avenge the king, and he has already reorganized his army outside the city, and he will not listen to our advice at all."
