Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 331
"How about 60 yuan?"

"At least 80."

"In my opinion, one million dollars is not too much!"

……

When Liu He came out of the study again, he saw Guo Jia and others were arguing, and another stranger was standing in the hall, bowing to all sides, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Junhou, you're judging the truth, how much is Wen Chou worth?" Yan Liang rushed to greet Liu He when he saw him.

Liu He was slightly startled, then suddenly understood, looked at the person and said, "Could this be the envoy sent by Yuan Shao?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "I'm Yin Kai, and I'll pay my respects to Fang Chenghou."

Liu He asked, "Are you here to redeem someone?"

Yin Kai replied: "I have ordered General Yuan to redeem General Wen Chou."

Liu He frowned and said, "A few days ago, I heard rumors that Yuan Shao sent people to arrest Wen Chou everywhere, and wanted to question him, why would he spend money?" Redemption?

"One moment and another moment!" Yin Kai said with a dry smile, "General Yuan was angry at the beginning, but now he has calmed down. Wen Chou is General Yuan's confidant, how can we not save him?"

Liu He shook his head and smiled, "When did the Marquis say that he was going to redeem General Wen?"

"This..." Yin Kai was stunned, and said in doubt: "It is well known in the world that generals love money, and all captives are redeemed with money and food."

"It's true to love money, but not everyone can exchange money!" Liu He waved his hands and said with a smile: "This time——I'm afraid your Excellency will have to make an empty trip."

"What does Junhou mean by this?" Yin Kai was stunned, and hurriedly said: "My lord is willing to pay 100 million yuan, with full sincerity, and I hope Junhou can release him."

"It's not a matter of money or not!" Liu He touched his nose helplessly, and it seemed that his reputation as a lover of money could not be erased. He waved his hand and said, "There is no negotiation on this matter. Many of my soldiers owe hundreds of lives, and I will never let them go without repaying my title."

"How...how will human life be repaid?" Yin Kai looked puzzled.

"I have my own way to make him atone for his sins!" Liu He smiled faintly, "If Yuan Benchu ​​can understand the current situation and voluntarily withdraw from Wei County, we can talk about the price of Yecheng."

"This... I'm sorry I dare not make the decision." Yin Kai's face changed, knowing that Liu He was rejecting him, so he had no choice but to leave.

"You don't want the money anymore?" Yan Liang came back to his senses, walked up to Liu He and asked, "Your Majesty, that's a million dollars!"

"One million yuan is not as good as a general. Talents are rare, and they are not comparable to money!" Liu He shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao was defeated, but he was able to hold back his anger and come to redeem him, which shows that no one can use him." , Wen Chou has the courage of all men, if I put him back, should I let him come back to fight with you and hurt my soldiers?"

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, the original Yuan Tan, Feng Ji and others are not talents in the eyes of Junhou?"

"Feng Xiao, don't give me a bad name!" Liu He hurriedly said: "I let Yuan Tan go because the Han family ruled the world with filial piety. How could I hurt his family? Mr. Feng is a famous person in the world, and he voluntarily redeemed himself." , I regard myself as the beauty of an adult."

"Hey-hey, I understand!"

Guo Jia smiled and looked at Xun Yu and the others. Everyone knew it. At this time, they knew that Liu He already had something in mind.

He is not as unscrupulous as everyone thinks for money and food. Letting people go depends on his ability. Yuan Tan and his ilk are not to be feared. Money and food can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But once he encounters a threatening enemy general, such as Wen Chou, Liu He is not tempted by money. He has been locked in a prison with heavy guards, sending people to persuade him every day to shake his ambition, and prepares to take it for his own use.

Liu He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's general. It's not easy to persuade him. Since Wen Chou is worth 100 million yuan, whoever can talk Wen Chou, I will reward him with 100 million yuan."

"Really?" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward: "What you say means what you say, but don't play tricks."

"Just treat it as a military order and never change it!" Liu He said with a smile: "Whoever of you can persuade Wen Chou to surrender, this bounty will be his."

"Hahaha, I'll try it first!" Yan Liang ran out, laughing loudly, "Wen Chou doesn't know what to do, I can't beat him to death!"

Liu He smiled helplessly, and said to everyone: "I will set off for Changshan immediately, and strive to take Zhang Yan down earlier, so that I can go south with peace of mind. The matter here will be decided by Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao through discussion."

Everyone took orders, Liu He left Handan with Dian Wei, and went straight to the Yuan family in Changshan. Before that, he had entrusted Tong Yuan and Wang Lie to send a letter to Zhang Yan to express his heart, and now it's up to Zhang Yan. How did Yan choose.

In history, Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao fought dozens of battles in Changshan, and even Lu Bu later participated, but they failed to eliminate them in two or three years. It was not until after Cao Cao destroyed Yuan that he voluntarily surrendered to Cao Cao.

It can be seen that Zhang Yan is also choosing a bright master, Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and third prince, is arrogant, looks down on Zhang Yan's recklessness, and meets each other in battle.

However, Cao Cao selected talents and appointed talents regardless of their backgrounds, selected talents from poor families, and promoted soldiers in the army. Perhaps it was these actions that moved Zhang Yan.

Now what I do is more fair than Cao Cao, but I lack the weight of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Yan is determined to join the court in exchange for an official position. Determined.

The Hebei plain is vast, and the two places are more than [-] miles apart, so they arrived in half a day on a fast horse. In the evening, Liu He had already arrived at the Yuan family, and Sun Jin, Chancellor of Changshan, welcomed him into the government office.

I have traveled to and from Jizhou several times, and this is the first time I have come to Yuanshi. I can't help but think of the situation when I followed Tong Yuan to Zhending when I just crossed:

By the Hutuo River, a few little boys with runny noses were playing in the mud in open crotch pants, and Zhao Zilong in Changshan was fishing in the river with his bare bottom.

Now Changshan Zhao Zilong is quite famous, but it is a pity that in more than 1000 years, he will become Shijiazhuang Zhao Yun again.

Thinking of this, Liu He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. Many place names in later generations were changed to worse and worse, such as Lanling was changed to Zaozhuang, Langya was changed to Linyi, etc. It is really a world of difference.

Sun Jin didn't know what was going on in Liu He's mind. Seeing him sigh suddenly, she hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you disappointed by the poor livelihood of the people in Changshan?"

"No, no, no!" Liu He quickly waved his hands and said, "Changshan has always been harassed by bandits, and the people can't be at peace. I came here this time to take over the Black Mountain Army."

Sun Jin was surprised and happy, thanked Liu He first, frowned and said: "The Black Mountain Army still has more than [-] soldiers. Zhang Yan has a high prestige in the Taihang area. The general once killed Zhang Niujiao. Zhang Yan took his surname and commanded the army Thieves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit."

Liu He said with a smile: "It depends on Zhang Yan's mind. The so-called man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Zhang Niujiao's death is his own fault. If he didn't attack counties and counties, and tried to get something for nothing, how could he be killed?" ?”

Sun Jin sighed: "Although the reasoning is so, the thieves are domineering, so we can't reason about it in a normal way. If a prince wants to see Zhang Yan, he may be in danger."

Liu He said with a smile: "I came to the city first. I know that Zhang Yan is also from Changshan. Can you recruit his hometown party and ask him to go to the mountain to deliver the message? I want to meet Zhang Yan for a while."

Before Sun Jin could open his mouth, he saw someone in the hall cupping his fists and saying, "General, don't worry. Your subordinate and Zhang Yan are from the same hometown. I'd rather go for a walk."
