======= Heavenly plea for support ========
No matter what Liu Yao said about Chaisang's situation is true or not, anyway, Liu Yao already understood what he meant.

He is also going to use soldiers everywhere now, and there is no soldier to lend to Zhu Wei, so Zhu Wei doesn't have to think about borrowing soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei had already prepared himself for this kind of mentality, otherwise he would really be disappointed.

But on the surface, Zhu Wei still showed a bit of distress, as if Liu Yao's attitude made him lose his overall plan. After a while, Zhu Wei said, "Liu Muzhou, it seems that Wei Zhi's request is indeed inappropriate. , it’s just the revenge of the second brother, we must avenge it!”

Now Zhu Hao is naturally the best excuse for Zhu Wei to attack Yuzhang, and revenge for his relatives in these years is something that others cannot stop or blame.

Zhu Wei made such a gesture because he hoped that Liu Yao could agree to his next request. The previous borrowing of soldiers was a huge asking price, and then Liu Yao's gesture was regarded as paying back the money on the spot.

So Zhu Wei could only quote a new price to Liu Yao, and he didn't want Liu Yao to refuse again, after all, it wasn't really bargaining in the vegetable market now.

Zhu Wei suddenly got up and bowed to Liu Yao, and said seriously, "Liu Muzhou, Wei has another unfeeling request, I wonder if Muzhou can accept it!"

"Oh, Lingfa just say it, I will help you!"

Although Liu Yao agreed on the surface, but he still murmured in his heart, what exactly does this kid want? This time he helped take down Liyang, which is indeed a meritorious service, but he can't really just take advantage of it.

When Liu Yao was speaking, he also looked at Xu Shao and the other guests in the banquet below. What he meant was that if Zhu Wei made a request that was not acceptable and he could not directly refuse it, then it would be up to them Come to raise objections so that he can take advantage of the trend to step down.

"Wei already knows Liu Muzhou's difficulties, but if Wei wants to avenge his second brother, he must have enough soldiers. Wei Jiu has heard that Danyang has a strong army. I don't know if Muzhou can allow Wei to recruit troops in Danyang. With Wei's current strength, if If we can recruit another five or six thousand soldiers, we will be able to fight Ruo Rong if we think about it! Besides, the guards don’t have enough armor, so I don’t know if Muzhou can sell some armor, food and grass, so that the guard can organize the army to fight. Revenge brother! Please also, Muzhou will definitely agree!"

Zhu Wei said his request, and bowed to Liu Yao. Anyway, if Liu Yao didn't agree, he couldn't get up.

"Recruiting soldiers? Buying food, buying soldiers?"

Liu Yao did not expect that Zhu Wei would make such a request. For Liu Yao, it cost almost nothing, but he could benefit from Zhu Wei.

But Liu Yao still looked at Xu Shao, he couldn't think of anything wrong with Zhu Wei's request for a moment.

So now it's up to the counselor's advice.

Over there, Xu Shao caught Liu Yao's eyes, seemed to squint his eyes for a while and thought about it, and nodded to Liu Yao, indicating that he could agree.

So Liu Yao laughed, walked to Zhu Wei, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Wei, and said in his mouth, "I will naturally agree to a few things. As for the talk of buying and selling, we can't mention it again. This time, Lingfa took the historical Yang, Sun Ce's son is still alive, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. How can I refuse to thank you? In this case, I will give you five thousand leather armors, five thousand swords and soldiers, and also allocate you fifty thousand shi of fine grain to use as military supplies. You can stay in Lingyang. The county recruits soldiers, I will immediately write to Lingyang County to cooperate, how about it!"

In any case, Liu Yao is considered to be the local boss who occupies Jiangdong. Considering Zhu Wei's contribution this time, it is not good to ask Zhu Wei to pay for something.

With Liu Yao's status as a clan member of the Han family, he really couldn't do such a thing, and this can be regarded as a reward for Zhu Wei.

Hearing Liu Yao's words, Zhu Wei straightened up with joy on his face, "Thank you so much, Lord Muzhou! Wei Zi should use Yuzhang to repay the kindness of Muzhou for the brother's revenge!"

However, Zhu Wei also gave Liu Yao a false promise. It seemed that he was going to dedicate it to Liu Yao after the Yuzhang was laid down. In fact, the Yuzhang was naturally Zhu Wei's.

"Oh, Yuzhang was originally the prefect of your second elder brother. Now that Wen Wenming (Zhu Hao's character) has passed away, the prefect seal of Yuzhang is also in your hands! Well, in this case, Ling Fa, in order to let your teacher As soon as I became famous, I abolished the post of Naorong Yuzhang Commandant, and appointed you as Yuzhang Commander. When you pacify Yuzhang, I will serve as a representative and let you succeed your second brother as the prefect. ,how?"

Liu Yao naturally knew that if Zhu Wei won the Yuzhang, he might not really give him the Yuzhang, but now it's just that everyone praises each other and builds a good relationship so that they can meet in the future.

Of course, now Liu Yao appoints Zhu Wei as the captain of Yuzhang County, which can be regarded as officially assigning Zhu Wei to his own name.

After all, Liu Yao is now the nominal Yangzhou Shepherd, commanding the nine counties of Yangzhou.

Although the three counties of Huainan, Lujiang, and Qichun are now under the control of Yuan Shu, and Liu Yao only controls the six counties of Jiangdong in name, the Yangzhou shepherd appointed by the imperial court is still Liu Yao after all.

According to the official system at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the state shepherd could appoint the highest military officer of the subordinate state and county, the county captain, to assist the prefect appointed by the imperial court.

In fact, this was also the method used by the state shepherd of the local emperor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to fight against the prefects appointed by the imperial court and control the real power of the local area.

Of course, in many cases, the prefects of these states and counties can also serve as county captains, so that the prefects are equal to the military and political power, and can be regarded as the emperor of a county.

Previously, Zhu Hao was the prefect of Yuzhang County who was appointed by the imperial court, so he borrowed troops from the nominal chief officer Yangzhou Mu Liuyou to take up his post in Yuzhang, thereby kicking out Zhuge Xuan, the pseudo-prefect of Yuzhang secretly appointed by Liu Biao.

Liu Yao agreed to Zhu Hao's request to borrow troops, but in fact he wanted to use Zhu Hao's hand to seize control of Yuzhang.

But he was also worried that Zhu Hao would lose control after he captured Yuzhang, so he sent Ruo Rong, who had newly joined him, as the captain of Yuzhang County to assist Zhu Hao in dealing with Zhuge Xuan.

In this way, Ruo Rong and Zhu Hao restrained each other, allowing Liu Yao to bring Yuzhang County into his direct control under the name of Yangzhou Mu.

It's just that Ruo Rong had his own little plan, relying on Yuzhang to stay away from Danyang, and directly killed Zhu Hao and swallowed Yuzhang, which was tantamount to treating Yuzhang as his little kingdom.

It's fine if Liu Yao doesn't know, but now that he knows, he can't let Ruo Rong go.

It's just that Liu Yao personally led the army to conquer Ruo Rong in Yuzhang, and the loss outweighed the gain. It might also arouse Liu Biao's worries, thinking that Liu Yao might use his name to attack Jingzhou.

Maybe it will provoke a war between Liu Yao and Liu Biao.

So Zhu Wei is willing to fight Yuzhang, so Liu Yao is naturally willing to support, and Zhu Wei's performance in Liyang can be regarded as showing his military ability.

At least Liu Yao will not give these supports to Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, and waste them in vain.

As for what will happen in the future, we can naturally talk about it after Zhu Wei lays down the Yuzhang. Maybe Liu Yao can send people to Yuzhang to restrain Zhu Wei, so that Zhu Wei has to continue to be attached to Liu Yao's name.

In this way, Liu Yao can be regarded as getting a wise general like Zhu Wei.

So now that Liu Yao treats Zhu Wei like this, he is wooing Zhu Wei. Anyway, the captain of Yuzhang County is just an official position, and Liu Yao's decision to establish or abolish him can be done at a moment's notice.

But if Zhu Wei accepts this position, at least on the surface, he will be an official under Liu Yao's name.

If something happened in the future, Zhu Wei rebelled against Liu Yao, and he would also bear the reputation of being a traitor.

So when Liu Yao said this, he couldn't help looking at Zhu Wei, wondering what Zhu Wei was thinking...
