Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 461 Obtaining the Jizhou Military Deployment Map
"...I really don't know! I can give you Changshan's taxes for one year, not ten years, as long as you let me go!"

Until now, Yuan Shang still didn't know Liu Yu's real identity, but only suspected that he might be related to the Luoyang military, so he wanted to bribe him with money.

"Hehe, do you think that my majestic regent sends taxes to your county?"

"Regent?"

"What! You are Liu Yu!"

Yuan Shang couldn't believe it. When he saw Liu Yu took out a portrait from his arms, his flickering eyes became even more frightened.

"You really are the Regent!"

The portrait in Liu Yu's hands is from the Jizhou military, but the portrait is too different from the real person, if you don't take it together and compare it, you won't be able to tell it at all.

I should have thought that he was Liu Yu. Han Meng, who was as powerful as Zhang He, was knocked down by him that night.

How could I be so unlucky to have offended my enemies, what a fucking inch!
When Liu Yu was in Jizhou, he was secretly wanted. The feud between Liu Yu and Yuan's family was already tacit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.

Yuan Shang was still annoyed, Liu Yu yelled again.

"I will remind you for the third and last time that if Han Meng said something useful first, your life will be worthless. Similarly, if you can draw a map of Jizhou's military defense, I can protect you with the honor of the Great Han Lord." Get out safely."

Liu Yu's words made Yuan Shang fall into deep thought for the first time. After knowing that the person who arrested him was the regent queen, Yuan Shang had to think carefully about his own life.

Just starting to think meant that the other party's mood was disturbed, and Liu Yu gave another shout at the right time.

"Are you going to say it or not?"

As soon as the words fell, before Yuan Shang could speak, Zhang Xiu ran in from outside the house excitedly.

"Look, my lord! Han Meng made a move!"

Zhang Xiu held a topographic map of Jizhou in his hand and gave Liu Yu pointers on it.

"Well, not bad, since he recruited, let's arrange someone to send Han Meng back to Jizhou!"

"Report to the lord, Han Meng said that he doesn't want to go back, and wants to switch to the lord's command!"

"Oh! Han Meng's spirit of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright is commendable. How about this? In order to commend his loyalty, he sent people to Jizhou to secretly bring all his family members to Luoyang."

Zhang Xiu was about to turn around and do it, when he suddenly saw Yuan Shang on the ground.

"How to deal with this person is for the Lord to decide."

Liu Yu folded the map with both hands, and walked out of the house without looking at it.

"This person is useless, kill him!"

There was a chill in Liu Yu's words, and Yuan Shang couldn't stand it anymore, so he cried out loudly at that time.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me, my lord!"

"Useless people, even if they beg for mercy, they must be killed!"

"No, I am useful. I know more about Jizhou's military fortifications than Han Meng. As long as the regent spares his life, I will draw it immediately."

Yuan Shang's words made Liu Yu frowned slightly.

"Can I believe your words?"

"Yuan Shang dare not lie, what he said is true!"

"Forget it, just draw it, and I'll ask Chen Lin to verify it after it's finished! If it's true, I can let you go safely, if it's false, I'll cut it apart!"

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he threw a blank topographic map to Yuan Shang, and then gave him a pen.After that, he didn't stay any longer and left the room straight away.

And Yuan Shang was lucky just now, but when he heard Chen Lin's name, he froze on the spot.

Chen Lin is in charge of Jizhou, and many documents and charts are from his hands. If even he has joined Luoyang, Yuan Shang really dare not falsify the defense map.

Arriving at the second floor of Kelaiju, Zhang Xiu kept sticking out her thumbs.

"My lord's interrogation method is indeed a hundred times better than that of my subordinates. I stripped off Han Meng's fingernails, and I didn't get any useful information. However, my lord only needs a few words to make Yuan Shang put down."

Liu Yu smiled slightly after hearing this. He learned this interrogation technique from later generations of police and gangster movies, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

"After Yuan Shang's painting is finished, Youwei will use the same method to pry Han Meng's mouth open. I believe that Yuan Shang will follow, and Han Meng will not insist on it anymore!"

"My lord, don't worry, I'll do it right away, and Chen Lin, are you going to cheat him?"

Liu Yu thought for a while and replied: "Chen Lin, I'd better meet in person for a while!"

When Chen Lin was brought to the alley in the south of the city, she guessed that Liu Yu might be the person who arrested him, and the eldest son Yuan Shang and Han Meng were probably also caught by him.

After staying in the guest hall for a long time, Chen Lin finally met the Lord.

"Yuan Shao is a traitor. He wanted to put me to death when he was in Jizhou. Now that Mr. has fallen into my hands, what can I say?"

"If you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect!"

Chen Lin is also a well-known scribe, with a stubborn temperament and a little foolish loyalty. Liu Yu still appreciates the literati's strength.

"Sir, you are a great talent. The imperial court is just using people. Why don't you turn to my subordinates and work together to benefit the great man?"

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he took out the military deployment map of Jizhou that Yuan Shang had just drawn.

Chen Lin didn't take it seriously at first, but after watching it for a while, she showed a shocked expression.

It seems that what Yuan Shang just drew is true.

"I have more than [-] soldiers under my command, and I have formed an alliance with Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Yu to deal with Yuan Shao. Sir, do you feel that being so loyal to a damned traitor is an insult to the character of a scribe?"

Liu Yu's words were like sharp knives, every word made Chen Lin feel heartache.

Yuan Shao committed a crime of treason by chasing and killing the regent of the Han Dynasty, and even without this military map of Jizhou, Yuan Shao could hardly resist the four families joining forces.

It's just that the stubborn Chen Lin still didn't want to betray the lord, so she sighed indifferently and stopped talking.

Although he couldn't convince Chen Lin immediately, he verified the authenticity of the picture through his expression, and Liu Yu had achieved his goal.

The next step is to send the map to Guan Yu's army, and then notify Cao Cao to send troops to attack Jizhou together.

To deal with Liu Yu in Jizhou, he handed over the command of the army to Guan Yu, but the general who will conquer Yuan Shu in the east has not yet been determined.

And once the battle on the two fronts starts, Liu Yu will also leave Luoyang, so a capable general needs to be left in the capital to guard.

When Chen is calm, it is most suitable for defending the city.Zhang Fei is extremely brave but a bit lacking in resourcefulness. If he is appointed as the general of the Eastern Expedition, he must be accompanied by two capable lieutenants and a strategist with excellent strategy.

Young generals Guo Huai and Dong Cheng are both good candidates, while Jia Xu and Xun Yu need to cooperate with Liu Bei to sit in the court as military advisers, leaving Xun You and Xu Shu as military advisers.

Thinking about it, Liu Yu felt that Xun You should serve as Zhang Fei's military adviser, and Xu Shu also served as the commander of the Shadow Guard, so it was not suitable for him to leave Luoyang yet.

In the autumn of the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor regardless of going against the hearts of the world.In September of the same year, the Regent Liu Yu decided to personally lead the army to conquer Yangzhou. Before sending troops, he also issued a call to action, meeting with Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Jian of Jiangdong and Tao Qian of Xuzhou to attack it together.

At the same time, Guan Yu's troops in Hanoi County are also preparing for the conquest of Jizhou.
