Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 245 Xun Yu returns to the heart

Ma Teng questioned that the total number of grain bags had been checked clearly, and the grain bags could not be smuggled out from the second entrance, but Liu Yu laughed again after hearing this.

"Both Li Ru and Shi Sunrui were only concerned with recording the total number of bags of grain, but no one paid attention to the weight of each bag of grain. We only need to pour out a little grain from each bag, and there will be no suspicion, and 50 bags of grain Pour out a little of all of them, and that’s not a small amount!”

"Ah! That's how it is!" Ma Teng suddenly realized when he heard the words, and thought that Liu Yu's method was really clever, so that he would not be afraid that the total number would not match.

"Then, where should the intercepted grain and grass be stored? I don't have a suitable place here, and King Zhongshan has to make an idea!"

Ma Teng thought that if Liu Yu could think of such a clever plan, he must have a place to store the grain, so he didn't want to waste his brains, and directly pushed all the food storage to Liu Yu.

"Brother Shoucheng is magnanimous, so you are not afraid that I will steal your share of food?" Liu Yu said jokingly.

When the two pretended to be resting just now, they mentioned how to distribute the intercepted grain. At that time, Ma Teng didn't think of any way to hide the grain privately, so he proposed that as long as Liu Yu had a way to intercept the grain, he would fully cooperate and distribute the harvested grain in the end. At the time, he only kept three points, and the remaining seventy percent was given to Liu Yu.

"The king of Zhongshan is a man who does great things. Naturally, he won't care about a little food and grass. Before you said that, the food you promised to send to our army is not missing a single grain. Don't worry about your words!" Ma Teng said with certainty.

When dealing with Guo Bang's army, Ma Teng sent soldiers to help, and finally Liu Yu gave Ma Teng a large amount of food in return.That's why this time Ma Teng handed over the problem of storing food to Liu Yu without any worries.

In fact, ever since he negotiated with Liu Biao about giving up the food in the underground palace, Liu Yu planned to keep some of the food for his own use.

It was just because of the report letter that he had to tell the matter of uncovering the mysterious rich businessman in front of the officials in advance.

However, the original plan to keep food for oneself could only become an idea to intercept the flow. Yesterday Liu Yu ordered Liu Bei to go to Mengjin County to dispatch [-] troops, just to prepare for the interception of food.

As for the place to store the intercepted grain, Liu Yu also had a plan in advance. The underground palace on the hill in the northeast of Niujia Village is an excellent and safe place.

……

After discussing in detail with Ma Teng the plan to intercept the grain and grass, Liu Yu went to Niujia Village.

Since last night, some Yulin soldiers had sneaked into the dense forest outside Niujia Village. Before dawn, Xun Yu took these people to hide in the underground palace on the hill.

The underground palace on the hill is no longer what it used to be. Zhou Fang and Cui Di not only led people to drain the stagnant water inside, but also repaired the collapsed tombs.

The general who brought the troops here from Mengjin was Huangfu Yan. After he settled down with Xun Yu, he talked about the grand scale of the underground palace.

"I didn't expect the underground palace to be so spacious. Today is an eye-opener! No wonder the Xiliang army always likes to make money from people." Huangfuyan said in surprise.

After hearing this, Xun Yu chuckled, "Sure enough, brother Jianshou had the same expression when I first came in, but King Zhongshan said that there are many underground palaces that are several times bigger than here, just like the underground palace where the mysterious rich merchant stores grain. It is ten times as big as here!"

After hearing this, Huangfuyan showed a shocked expression again, thinking how many valuable necromancers were stored in such a big underground palace before.

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Yan asked in a joking tone: "Now that the case of the mysterious rich businessman has been solved, why does Wen Ruo still call the lord the King of Zhongshan?"

Huangfu Yan and Xun Yu have known each other for a long time, and when he was in Xin'an County, he even persuaded Xun Yu to join Liu Yu as soon as possible.

At that time, Xun Yu wanted to leave Luoyang and join Jizhou, so he had some considerations about joining Liu Yu.

Later, he heard Liu Yu talk about the secrets behind the case of the mysterious rich businessman, and learned of some plans to cut directors, which made him have great admiration and interest in Liu Yu.

So he made up his mind that as long as Liu Yu can perfectly solve the case of the mysterious rich businessman, then he will sincerely worship Liu Yu as his lord.

Now the case of the mysterious wealthy businessman has been solved, and the emperor has not been implicated by it. More importantly, Liu Yu also used this matter to prompt Lu Bu to defect to Luoyang, which greatly weakened Dong Zhuo's strength.

This series of successes made Xun Yu regard Liu Yu as a wise master. Seeing that the third step of the plan to eliminate the director was about to begin, Xun Yu hadn't found a good opportunity to make contributions.

"The king of Zhongshan is a rare enlightened master. Naturally, I also want to serve him, but he has not achieved an inch of merit. What face is there to swear allegiance!" Xun Yu laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's voice really came from behind, "If Wen has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, it would be a blessing for me to have your help. I don't have to make meritorious service to be willing to serve!"

Liu Yu laughed and walked closer, and the two hurriedly turned to meet.

"Ding, Xun Yu's recruitment success rate has reached 95%!"

The system's prompt told Liu Yu that it was the best time to recruit Xun Yu, so he was going to strike while the iron was hot and offered to recruit.

"Wen Ruo's wisdom is far superior to mine. If we can get your help, Xu Rong's army will fall apart within half a month!" Liu Yu thought to himself, don't you feel that you have not accomplished an inch of merit, so I will provide you with a chance to make great contributions.

Xun Yu really showed great interest when he heard the words, and asked in surprise: "Is King Zhongshan ready to deal with Xu Rong's team?"

Liu Yu nodded with a smile, and continued: "This is the third step of the plan to cut the director. I am going to make the next big one, so I urgently need someone with comprehensive abilities to deal with Xu Rongjun for me. I don't know if Wen Ruoke is willing to share my worries!"

After all the talk, how could Xun Yu refuse this job? Xun Yu has determined to serve the great man since he was a child. Now that the court is weak and the princes and warlords are in their own ways, it is better to be loyal to Liu Yu than to serve them.

At least Liu Yu belongs to the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and he is working hard for the recovery of the court. Not only has he made very remarkable achievements in bringing down Dong Zhuo's forces, but he has also prepared long-term plans for the court.

Isn't such an enlightened master the one I want to follow!
Finally, Xun Yu let go of his literati's reserve, clasped his fists with both hands and raised them above his head, then bowed to the end, and gave Liu Yu a big gift.

And Liu Yu quickly pressed the recruitment command in the system to ensure that after Xun Yu swore his allegiance, his loyalty would reach full value directly.

"Xun Yu is willing to regard the King of Zhongshan as his lord!"

"Wen Ruo, please hurry up, with your great help, the third step of the plan to eliminate directors can start in full swing!"

Liu Yu happily helped Xun Yu up, only to hear a crisp system prompt sound in his ears at the same time.

"Ding, congratulations on successfully recruiting the host!"

"Ding, Xun Yu's loyalty has reached 100."

"Ding, this character's mind skill exceeds 95, has the host received a system task to empower him with the five elements!"

This series of system prompts made Liu Yu very happy.

Recruiting Xun Yu is not only a great military advisor, but Xun Yu can also empower the five elements.

Now the system is only one water attribute away from charging, that is to say, as long as the system task of empowering Xun Yu's attribute is successfully completed, the system can be fully upgraded along the way!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu excitedly pressed the prompt button to accept the system task.

Then a strange task picture appeared in his mind.
