Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 203 The Second Letter
Hearing that Zhu Jun had arranged for the old part of the newly collected Yellow Turbans to work in agriculture, Liu Yu gave a thumbs up appreciatively.

"So that's how it is. You serve as soldiers in war, and farm in farms when you rest. The old general is really good at managing soldiers!"

"Hey! 1 people are [-] mouths. You can't always live on Jingzhou's support!"

Zhu Jun sighed heavily. From his expression, Liu Yu felt that there might not be enough food and supplies on Laojun Peak, otherwise he would not have relied on the five thousand catties of food from Wo Niuling not to return.

So Liu Yu immediately thought that it might be easier to persuade Lao Junfeng to send troops from food as a breakthrough.

But before he could speak first, Zhu Jun questioned his trip.

Zhu Jun said: "It is rumored that after King Zhongshan arrived in Luoyang City, he first had close contacts with the generals of the Xiliang faction. It is said that you rejected Dong Zhuo's invitation to the old man Dong Zhuo at the Golden Palace and switched to the royalist faction. I, a countryman, have no sources of information. , I really don’t know which one to believe!”

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jun didn't give Liu Yu any time to think, staring at him and asked: "Actually, I also know that the current imperial court is not easy to mix, whether you are a royalist or a Xiliang sect, I don't care about these, just ask Is my elder brother Huangfu really saved by you?"

It can be seen that Zhu Jun has heard a little about the affairs in the court, especially the news that Liu Yu was too close to some Xiliang generals, which made Zhu Jun have some doubts about the purpose of his trip.

Out of responsibility to tens of thousands of people on Laojun Peak, Zhu Jun must first find out whether Liu Yu is an enemy or a friend.

Liu Yu also saw his scruples, but when he heard that the other party was asking about Huangfusong, he immediately became convinced.

Before coming here, Liu Yu learned a lot about Zhu Jun through Huangfusong. He knew that he had a fiery loyalty to the big man, but he was a bit stubborn in character.

So in order to ensure a smooth trip, he asked Huangfusong to write a second letter of introduction as an old friend.

"It's true, old general Huangfusong was saved by me! Luoyang city knows about it, and..."

Zhu Jun interrupted Liu Yu with a wave of his hand, and didn't let him continue talking. With this answer, Zhu Jun's doubts were basically dispelled.

A person who dared to protect his friend in front of the power minister Dong Zhuo could at least prove that he was an upright person.

At this moment, Zhu Jun felt extremely sad because he thought of his old friend Huang Fusong for many years, so that he just wanted to remember quietly by himself, and he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

After a while, Zhu Jun sighed heavily.

"Hey! I think about how powerful Huangfu and I were when we exterminated the Yellow Turbans, but I don't think that my old friend was in bad luck. He just had hope of life but died in the hands of Baibo thief! That's all, it's not sad. Let’s talk about it again, let’s talk about why King Zhongshan came to my Laojun Peak!”

From Zhu Junli's words, Liu Yu deduced that Lao Junfeng should have a system for inquiring about outside news, but this system is not mature enough to ensure the accuracy and specific details of the source of the news.

For example, at this moment Liu Yu really wanted to tell him that Huangfusong was not dead, but after thinking about it for a while, he held back for the time being, please be more aggressive than general, Liu Yu decided to find out Zhu Jun's real thoughts first.

"Of course I came here to ask for the old general. It's just that when I went up the mountain, I found that the scenery of Laojun Peak is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, and the old general lived here very comfortably, so... I don't know what the old general thinks. But do you still have plans to return to your hometown?"

Zhu Jun's hometown is from the Shangyu family in Kuaiji County, but he knows very well that the hometown of Ronggui that Liu Yu said definitely does not refer to Jiangdong, it should be Luoyang.

Zhu Jun was also an old Jianghu who had been in the big dye vat of the imperial court. Hearing Liu Yu's words, he knew that his purpose of coming to Laojunfeng was not simple.

It's just that Zhu Jun was still a little confused, because he couldn't figure out whether Liu Yu was delivering an edict on behalf of the imperial court, or was he trying to persuade Dong Zhuo to surrender?

After pondering for a while, he said decisively: "The king of Zhongshan has something to say, please say it clearly. Although the old man is old, his heart of loyalty to the king and the country will never change!"

Zhu Jun's attitude is obvious. If Liu Yu dared to say that he came to persuade Dong Zhuo to surrender, he would coax people down the mountain on the spot!
This still depends on the face of Liu Yu's noble blood, otherwise it would be no problem to greet the left and right to kill him.

After hearing Zhu Jun's words, Liu Yu not only didn't feel angry, but instead hugged him in admiration.

"The old general is indeed the pillar of the country! It seems that I have come to Lao Junfeng rightly this time!" Liu Yu didn't intend to beat around the bush, and took out another letter from his arms.

"This is the handwritten letter I asked for from old General Huangfu before I came here. After reading it, General Zhu will understand everything!"

When Zhu Jun heard that the letter in Liu Yu's hand turned out to be a letter of introduction from his friend Huang Fusong, he stood up excitedly on the spot.

"What! Brother Huangfu's personal letter? Could it be that my old friend didn't die in the battle of Hongnong?"

Liu Yu shrugged with a smile and then pointed to the letter, indicating that he would know it at a glance.

Zhu Jun accepted it dubiously, and his eyes were red with joy when he saw the big words "Gongwei's virtuous brother kisses you personally".

……

When Liu Yu went up to Laojun Peak, Xun Yu was also busy looking for the man named Chen Dao in Liang County.

Xun Yu once asked Liu Yu why he wanted to find this young man, was he related to him or did the other party owe him money?neither.Liu Yu approached Chen Dao for recruitment.

Liu Yu said that Chen Dao was a loyal and brave man, and he was a capable general. Cao Cao, a thief, was a bit inferior.

At that time, Xun Yu became curious after hearing this, and also wanted to see how powerful the talented people Liu Yu was talking about.

It was only after he separated from Liu Yu that he thought of a problem, that is, since Liu Yu and Chen Dao had never met each other, how could he dare to assert that Chen Dao must be a good general?
After having this question, Xun Yu wanted to see Chen Dao sooner.

Liang County wasn't that big, and the county government was right in the middle of the city. Knowing that Chen Dao was the thief here, Cao Chuan, he definitely didn't run away when he went to the county government to look for it.

Xun Yu came to the gate of the county mansion and took out his badge of guarding the palace, and then a small official quickly ran into the mansion to pass it on.

Soon the county magistrate of Liang County went out to meet him in person. Although the palace guard was only a minor official in the imperial court, he was also a Beijing official at a young age. How could a small local county dare to neglect him.

"My subordinate, Shen Sheng, pay my respects to Lord Xun, the palace guard!"

"Master Shen, there is no need to be polite!"

Shen Sheng had the face of a bully, Xun Yu naturally wouldn't judge people by their appearance, but the first impression in his heart was indeed a bit off.

After the two greeted each other, the county magistrate of Liang County enthusiastically invited Xun Yu to enter the mansion for a talk, but Xun Yu politely refused.

"I just want to inquire about someone from County Magistrate Shen, so I won't bother you in the mansion!"

"Oh... that's it, then who is the Lord Shougong looking for? As long as there is a name and surname, the lower officials will definitely send the servants of the house to help find it!"

Xun Yu bowed his hands politely, "There is no need to go to such trouble, the person I am looking for is the thief Cao Chuan and Chen Dao from Liang County."

"Chen Dao!" Shen Sheng's face clearly showed a nervous expression, "May I ask what is the relationship between Lord Shougong Ling and Chen Dao?"

Xun Yu is very good at observing words and expressions, and has already seen something from the other party's uneasiness.

In order not to make Shen Sheng suspicious, he said in a nonchalant tone: "I don't know him before, and I was just ordered to come to the selection test!"
