Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 157

While Wang Kai and Xun Yu were chatting, they suddenly heard rumors that Xu Huang had come.

The two went out of the tent to greet each other, but there was another person behind Xu Huang, and after a closer look, it turned out that Liu Yu had arrived.

It turned out that Liu Yu, Qin Fu, and Wang Han finally rushed here before dark, and Liu Yu asked Xu Huang to take him to the private barracks of Wang and Xun without any stop.

Wang Kai and Liu Yu had been in contact many times before, and the two were quite acquainted, so after entering the tent, he directly asked Liu Yu's purpose for coming here.

Liu Yu explained with a smile that he was sending food to the two of them.

The Wang family and the Xun family are both big families, and there is no shortage of food and grass in their private barracks, but since Liu Yu kindly sent Wang Kai off, how could he not accept it.

After Wang Kai thanked him for the first time, he followed Xu Huang to the granary to hand over, so only Liu Yu and Xun Yu were left in the big tent.

"Farewell to Xishi, Wen Ruobie will be fine!"

"I'm ashamed and ashamed. I wanted to go to the mansion to pay my respects to the Zhongshan King's gang that day, but I was assigned this task by the family later, so I missed the opportunity. I hope the Zhongshan King will forgive me!"

"Why did Wen Ruo say that? You and I hit it off right away as old friends. There is no need to thank friends for helping each other!"

Xun Yu is extremely intelligent, he has long seen that Liu Yu's delivery of food is fake, and it is the truth to come to him, but hearing Liu Yu's words are very sincere, it still warms his heart.

That day in Xishi, Xun Yu was made things difficult by the people of Weiyang County, thanks to Liu Yu who came forward to help him out of the siege, Xun Yu admired Liu Yu's character at that time, and today, seeing him is even more joyful.

"Ding, Xun Yu's friendship has reached 80."

Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo, and has extremely high loyalty to the big man. Since Liu Yu has bumped into such a super strategist, how can he not be included in his command.

But recruiting celebrities is not as simple as subduing ordinary generals. In addition to having sufficient strength, one must also have a certain charisma, or in other words, noble and lofty ambitions.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, if you don't have a high level of compulsion, it is impossible to attract the likeness of celebrities.

It's just that this is the second time the two have met, and it seemed too much to talk directly about their lofty ambitions. After thinking about it, Liu Yu decided to keep going slowly and make friends slowly.

After being polite to each other, the two chatted about the current battle situation. Liu Yu wanted to compare Xun Yu's resourcefulness, so he asked the other party if he had any good strategies to deal with Guo Si's army.

Which Xun Yu had already seen that Liu Yu was deliberately testing him, so he replied with a smile: "The king of Zhongshan is strategizing, and Guo Si may have been a fish in the pond long ago, so why should I fight against him!"

After Xun Yu finished speaking, there was a faint look of sadness on his face, which caught Liu Yu's attention and asked him why he was worried.

Xun Yu sighed again, and said: "Although the imperial court is controlled by Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang faction, the purpose of this expedition to suppress the bandits is to open up food routes, to relieve the emperor's worries and fight for the people of Luoyang. How can it not be chilling to destroy the expedition at this time!"

Then Xun Yu also said that she wanted to leave Luoyang not only because she was unrecognized for her talents, but also because she was very dissatisfied with some practices of the so-called royalists, and felt that it would be better to join the princes in the local area than to follow them.

Liu Yu wasn't too surprised that Xun Yu said he didn't like the royalists' approach, but he became anxious immediately when he heard that Xun Yu had plans to leave Luoyang.

Once a celebrity like Xun Yu goes to the prince's territory, he will definitely be regarded as a guest of honor by the discerning people, and it will be even more difficult to recruit him at that time.

But how can we stop Xun Yu from wanting to leave Luoyang?

At this time, Liu Yu remembered that when Cao Cao wanted to proclaim himself king of Wei and add Jiuxi in history, Xun Yu had strongly opposed it at the risk of being beheaded.

Xun Yu can advise Cao Cao and do his best, but that is based on Cao Cao's respect for the emperor.

So Xun Yu is a diehard loyalist of the Han court, so why not make some fuss about this point, maybe not only can he dispel his idea of ​​leaving, but also have the opportunity to keep him by his side to obey orders!
"Wen Ruo's idea is admirable, but Master Situ and the others are also considering the long-term. If the Xiliang faction is not weakened, the court will always be controlled by Dong Zhuo!"

Before Liu Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu immediately retorted: "But even so, we can't put the emperor at a disadvantage, let the people ignore it! Can't we wait for the food to be transported into Luoyang City and then deal with the Xiliang faction?"

Xun Yu still felt that it was inappropriate for the royalists to take action against Guo Si's army at this time, because he was worried that the continued lack of food might lead to chaos in Luoyang City.

Just as Xun Yu listened attentively to Liu Yuhui's next answer, he suddenly saw a mysterious smile on his face.

Liu Yu said: "Transporting food for Luoyang City is indeed the top priority at the moment, but I don't think transporting food has any conflict with dealing with Guo Si's army, because food doesn't have to be shipped from Chang'an!"

As soon as Liu Yu seemed to point it out, Xun Yu became interested and asked cautiously, "Could it be that the king of Zhongshan can send relief food from other places?"

At this time, Liu Yu reconfirmed that no one was eavesdropping outside the tent, and then replied in a low voice: "I have found out who the mysterious rich businessman is, and I have also found out where the grain is stored!"

"Ah... Seriously?" Liu Yu, who has only been in Luoyang City for a few days, found the mysterious wealthy business case that many people failed to solve. This is too shocking!

But then Xun Yu showed a puzzled expression, and asked, "In that case, why didn't King Zhongshan report to the Ming court?"

Liu Yu shook his head and replied: "This matter is not that simple, because the identity of the mysterious rich businessman is really special. If it is exposed, the entire Han court may suffer!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu was shocked again, wondering how special the identity of the mysterious wealthy businessman would be, that it could affect the rise and fall of the Han court.

He didn't dare to guess any more, because if he guessed any further, only that one person would fit.

Seeing the panic and worry on Xun Yu's face, Liu Yu knew that he must have guessed something, so he took the opportunity to throw an olive branch to him.

"It is difficult for me to handle the mysterious rich businessman by myself. If Wen Ruo really thinks about the emperor and the people, please help me!"

"This..." After a brief hesitation, Xun Yu nodded solemnly.

"Ding, Xun Yu's friendship has reached 95."

……

Now that Liu Yu has found a place to store grain, it is imperative to deal with and eliminate Guo Si's army.

Before Xun Yu still had the mentality of completing the task, but after learning about some mysterious wealthy businessmen, he took the initiative to hand over the Xun family's private soldiers to Liu Yu's command.

The latest information was sent from Hangu Pass early the next morning, and Guo Si decided to launch an attack on Yiyang tomorrow.

Liu Yu unfolded the map and deduced it carefully, and roughly guessed the direction of the follow-up attack of Guo Si's army.

To the west of Yiyang is Strider Pond, further to the west are Shan County and Hu County, and then there is Hongnong County.

It seems that Guo Si is going to step by step and push all the way!
