Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 87 The Royalist Invitation

When he retreated from court, he was not as cautious as when he went to court.

The ministers who are acquainted with each other stand side by side, talking about the gains and losses in the hall in a low voice.

In the main hall, Liu Yu and Dong Zhuo disagreed several times, and even if Xianbao solved the military ration problem, the ultimate goal was to rescue Huangfusong.

Huangfusong was an important member of the royalist faction, and was convicted and imprisoned for spreading the rumors about Dong Zhuo's chaos in private.

Liu Yu had already stated his position in rescuing him, so the Xiliang faction kept Liu Yu at a respectful distance when they retreated.

Lu Bu and Guo Si walked away glaring, Li Jue and Xu Rong also sighed slightly and dared not go forward.

Ma Teng, who had just been named General Anxi by Dong Zhuo, hesitated for a moment and left quickly.

At this time, Liu Yu turned on the visual function of the system and saw that the friendship between the three of them plummeted.

On the other hand, Wang Yun and Xun Shuang's friendship with several royalists has improved a lot.

When the generals of the Xiliang faction walked out of the Xuanwu gate quickly, Wang Yun led Xun Shuang and others to Liu Yu's side.

"Thank you King Zhongshan for your help, I will thank you for Huangfu Yizhen!"

As I said before, Huang Fusong is the only one in the Royalist faction who knows how to command troops and fight, which is very important to the Royalist faction.

So it can be seen that Wang Yun and the others are sincerely thanking Liu Yu at this moment.

"Ding, Wang Yun's friendship degree is 50, Xun Shuang's friendship degree is 50, and Yang Biao's friendship degree is 30."

Listening to the prompt given by the system, Liu Yu knew that he had already gained the favor of the royalists.

"My lords, please hurry up. General Huangfusong once turned the tide when the great man was in danger. He is a minister of the imperial court. As a member of the royal family, how can I see his death in vain!"

Liu Yu was impassioned, and Wang Yun and others nodded frequently after seeing it.

As a result, the few of them naturally went to the Fudao together.

At this time, Niu Fu, who had been hiding behind the stone pillars in the main hall, laughed coldly.

"It seems that the plan is successful, and the next thing is to see if Liu Yu can find some useful information from Wang Yun and the others!"

Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu have always suspected that the royalists planned the food disaster. They also secretly monitored Wang Yun and the others, but found no clues.

Without evidence, it is naturally not easy to move Sangong Jiuqing. At this time, Liu Yu's turning out made both factions interested.

So Dong Zhuo met Liu Yu secretly in advance, and worked out today's plan with him to help him break into the Royalist faction.

Enter Fudao from Suzaku Gate, and walk out to Xuanwu Gate.

And after leaving the Xuanwu Gate, you will arrive at Nangong.

Along the way, Wang Yun and several people took turns chatting with Liu Yu, and they were about to go to the Sangong Mansion. Wang Yun extended an invitation.

"King Zhongshan has been back to the capital for a few days. It's just that the old man and the others are busy with political affairs and have no time to visit. Why don't you come to my mansion today. It just so happens that the old man also wants to ask King Zhongshan about exchanging military rations!"

Before Liu Yu could reply, Xun Shuang also tried his best to invite him.

Above the main hall, Liu Yu took out two peerless treasures as bargaining chips for preparing military rations, but Liu Yu still had to keep the square mirror and pocket watch until he got a reply from the rich.

Wang Yun and Xun Shuang were determined to win the two treasures. They were afraid that Ye Changmeng would be preempted by others, so they planned the invitation as soon as they left the Chongde Hall.

How could Liu Yu fail to see what the two of them were thinking, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the royalists, so he accepted the invitation very happily.

There are four major families in Luoyang City, the Wang family, the Xun family, the Yang family and the Yuan family.

These four big families are deeply rooted in Luoyang City, and they have good relations with each other. They not only control the economy of Luoyang City, but also have great influence on the court and the army.

This is because behind the four major families are Wang Yun, Xun Shuang, Yang Biao and Yuan Wei, the important court officials.

Originally, the Yuan family was the most powerful among the four major families, but because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers organized and participated in the alliance of princes, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to get rid of the Yuan family.

The Patriarch of the Yuan family, who had received the news in advance, immediately fled to his hometown of Runan with his core personnel, but the Grand Tutor Yuan Kai failed to escape and was executed by Dong Zhuo in public.

After losing the Yuan family, the four major families stopped confronting Dong Zhuo and acted in an extremely low-key manner, but this was just an appearance, and the plan to bring down Dong Zhuo had never stopped.

As the leader of the royalist faction and the helm of the four major families, Wang Yun and Xun Yu have been secretly accumulating strength.

But after the Yuan family's accident, the two realized that political means alone were not enough to contend with Dong Zhuo, they had to have an army they could control.

The former Huangfusong was a member they were trying to win over, and now Liu Yu has also entered the eyes of the two of them.

Accompanied by Xun Shuang and Yang Biao, Liu Yu walked into Situ's Mansion.

Situ Mansion is the largest mansion in the Southern Palace of the Imperial City, and the decoration here reveals a kind of simple luxury.

With the support of the Wang family, the cost of Situ's mansion has not been affected in the slightest by the soaring food prices.

So when Liu Yu entered the front hall and just took his seat, servants from the mansion brought up delicious wine and food.

The people outside the city couldn't afford enough to eat, and the wealthy households in the city were also worried about food prices. This made Liu Yu wonder if the so-called royalists were really loyal ministers of the imperial court?
Wang Yun intended to win over Liu Yu, not only set up a banquet, but also called the dancers from the mansion to come and join in the fun.

After drinking for three rounds, Xun Shuang began to comment on the dancers in the arena. This kind of tune was the favorite of ancient literati and poets.

"This girl is beautiful in appearance and graceful in dancing. I don't know where Senior Brother Zi found such a beauty!"

Zishi is Wang Yun's nickname, and it is only called by people who are acquainted with him in private.

I saw Wang Yun smiled indifferently, and replied: "This girl is the most handsome dancer in my mansion. If brother Ci Ming finds a match, I will send you a girl to warm the bed!"

Xun Shuang immediately waved his hands.

"I can't bear it with my old bones, but King Zhongshan is young and energetic, why don't you accept me as a concubine!"

Ministers often exchanged gifts of dancers or concubines to each other as a token of friendship. According to historical records, Wang Yun liked to adopt adopted daughters as bargaining chips for him to befriend other officials.

Diao Chan is the most famous among them.

It's just that Liu Yu glanced at the lead dancer, and found that the charm was only 80+ at most. He thought that this woman was definitely not Diao Chan, so he shook his head in disappointment.

Wang Yun is very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Liu Yu's eyes only stopped on the dancer's body for less than a breath, he knew that Liu Yu didn't like this ordinary beauty.

"Okay, let's go down!"

Wang Yunping dismissed the idlers, and at this time Xun Shuang proposed to watch the pocket watch and square mirror again.

Appreciation is just an excuse, the real thing is to want to quickly become the master of the two treasures.

Liu Yu took out these two objects, generously placed the square mirror in front of Wang Yun, and handed the pocket watch to Xun Shuang.

"Leave these two treasures to the two adults for safekeeping. Next, I hope that the two adults will contact the big clan for the transaction soon."

Since he agreed to go to the banquet, Liu Yu naturally would not deliberately make things difficult for this treasure.

Moreover, Wang Yun and Xun Shuang are the most powerful people in the Wang family and the Xun family. When to trade military rations is not a matter of their words.
