Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 214 Xu You's Loyalty

Liu He was originally not optimistic about this alliance of princes, but he did not imagine that the initial suspicion was caused by himself, but it can be seen that Yuan Shao is indeed a big deal.

The coalition forces are about to reach Hulao Pass, which will be a major turning point. Hua Xiong is no longer in the Xiliang army, so I don't know who else Dong Zhuo will send to the army, but Luoyang's accident happened, so we need to prepare early.

Thinking of this, he called Han Long and asked, "The thirty dead men I asked you to pick these few days, have you found them all?"

"My lord, I've found them all!" Han Long bowed and said, "They are all the first people in Zhuo County who were taken in by the lord, and they have no second thoughts."

"Very good!" Liu He nodded, asked Dianwei to guard the door, and said to Han Long: "You are already familiar with Luoyang City, I want you to sneak into Luoyang from Hanoi immediately, and when the palace catches fire, take advantage of it." Messed into the palace."

Han Long was taken aback: "How does my lord know that the palace is going to catch fire?"

Liu Heyan said: "This is just a guess, you just need to wait for the time, don't worry about anything else."

Han Long nodded and said, "I don't know who the Lord wants to save?"

"It's not about saving people, it's about hunting for treasures!" Liu He lowered his voice and said, "The palace is on fire, and Dong Zhuo will take the emperor and all civil and military officials to Chang'an. After they leave, enter the palace to look for treasures. In order to find out the location of all the wells in the palace, the focus is on the wells."

Han Long was a little puzzled, but this was Liu He's order, so he clasped his fists and said, "Obey!"

"Go!" Liu He patted him on the shoulder, "This trip may seem insignificant, but in fact it has a lot to do with it. Whether you can find the treasure or not depends on God's will, and you must not reveal it."

Han Long nodded and left, Liu He took a deep breath, if Han Long could find Yuxi first, it would be of great benefit to him in the future, but I don't know if many things have changed, will Yuxi be taken away by the maid.

At this time, he was still worried about another matter. He had offended Han Fu and Yuan Shao this time. It might be difficult to return to Youzhou from Jizhou. The only way back was to return from Bingzhou, so he had to make plans early.

While planning, Dian Wei came in to report, Cheng Yu and Xu You begged to see, Liu He ordered someone to come in, Xu You came with Qu Yi and Han Fu from the Central Plains, after arriving in Suanzao, he went directly to Xingyang.

Xu You's visit this time was mainly to give gifts and promote sales. Liu He asked Qu Yi to bring soap, fine wine, books and other newly invented things with the army, and Xu You secretly gave them to the princes.

Especially the booklet, which covers two major technologies of paper and printing. The classics printed on it are the latest "Nineteen Ancient Poems", which evolved from Han Yuefu poems, and all of them are mainly five-character poems.

Liu He asked for the first publication of this book, firstly to display the book, and also to promote five-character poems, which will also be of great convenience to his future "poetry writing". Copying poems is much easier than copying fu.

And Xu You's identity is the editor-in-chief. This is a good thing that can make him famous and make money, so he agreed immediately.

After entering the door, Xu You smiled broadly, stroked his beard and said, "I've lived up to the general's entrustment, and I have sent everything out."

Liu He nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. has a wide network of contacts in the Central Plains, and it is easy to meet the princes. This time I gave gifts, and [-]% of the profits in the future will belong to Mister."

"I dare not, I really dare!" Xu You waved his hands again and again, clasped his fists and said, "It is my duty to serve the general. It is already a great favor for me to give these things to them for free. How dare I take money again?"

Liu He said with a smile: "No, no, this is what you deserve. In the future, we will have to rely on your efforts to promote these things."

Xu You bowed and said, "But it's disrespectful, I'm ashamed to accept it."

After a few more pleasantries, Xu You happily went to make the order. With a [-]% profit reward, he was full of motivation despite half a month of hard work.

After Xu You left, Cheng Yu frowned and said: "Yuan Hao said earlier that Xu You was greedy for money, and even went back to Julu to investigate in person. It is very likely that this person swallowed up most of Wang Fen's wealth. Why did the general indulge him?" ?”

Liu He said with a smile: "Yuan Hao has mentioned this to me many times, but it doesn't matter. Imagine if Xu You took the money at that time and went to other places instead of coming to Youzhou, we wouldn't even get a penny of money and food." , It is our honor for him to come to vote."

Cheng Yu frowned and said: "I know that the general did not deal with Xu You because he was worried about being criticized by others. After all, this person donated his family wealth to invest. If the general punishes Xu You and outsiders don't know about it, no one will come to surrender. But this person has bad intentions, so the general must be careful."

Liu He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xu You is loyal because he is greedy for money. Now he has millions of dollars in Fan Yang, and let his son marry Wang Fen's daughter. How can he betray him so easily?"

Cheng Yu didn't expect that Liu He would think so, but was stunned, grabbed his beard and thought for a while before nodding: "The general's words are reasonable."

Liu He said with a smile: "Wang Fen's property should be regarded as his daughter's dowry! As for the profits I gave him, Xu You deserves it. The same is true for businessmen. If not, how can Xu Ziyuan do things with all his heart?"

"The general is brilliant!" Cheng Yu was used to Liu He's whimsical ideas, and seeing his treatment of Xu You today was even more unexpected. Let a money-grubbing person sell things to make money, so why not work hard?
Liu He asked: "Over there in Youzhou, what's going on now?"

Cheng Yu replied: "The six tribes of Wuhuan and the three tribes of Xianbei have all raised their troops and sent out hunting in various places on the border. From the outside, it looks like rebellion. I think the old general will not be able to leave."

Liu He said with a smile: "This must be Ju Shou's plan. With them in the rear, we can feel at ease to ask for Dong!"

Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou is more effective than the emperor's. If he hadn't been in charge, Liu He wouldn't have dared to travel far, especially Wuhuan's gang, who respected Liu Yu very much.

In history, the Wuhuan people were rebelled by Zhang Ju, but after Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou, he quelled the rebellion with a single letter, and even sent people to surrender under Gongsun Zan's obstruction, and later avenged Liu Yu, which shows what people want .

With such a stable rear, Liu He can go out with confidence. Otherwise, like Liu Bei, who leads troops outside, he is always worried about his hometown being attacked, and it is difficult to do things because he is worried about gains and losses.

Cheng Yu said again: "The old general has sent Liu Yao to lead troops to Jinyang to put down the Huns' rebellion in Bingzhou. If we can take Bingzhou, we will have no worries on our way back!"

"Okay, this arrangement is wonderful!" Liu He slapped his thigh when he heard the words, and all the worries in his heart disappeared. He had been thinking of a way to break the situation. Brother-in-law."

Cheng Yu also nodded and said: "Ju Gong and the decisive victory of the strategy are comparable to Liangping."

Just as they were discussing the future, Zhang He came in in a hurry and said, "General, something is wrong. General Bao and the others lie in ambush in the Bian River, and returned home defeated."

"What?" Liu He was taken aback, waved his hand and said, "Quickly open the city and bring them in."
