Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 246 System Tasks
This is the third time Liu Yu has accepted a system mission. The first time he empowered Jia Xu with attributes, it was a mission to find ancient jade. He happened to find a piece of jade from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the underground palace of Kangjiazhuang.

The second time I empowered Gu Yong with the Five Elements attribute, the system gave me the task of defeating a general with strength over 95 and snatching his weapon. Liu Yugang defeated Lu Bu not long ago and snatched his Fangtian Painting Halberd, so this task is also very easy It's finished.

The two system tasks were completed very smoothly, which made Liu Yu think that all empowerment tasks might be very simple and have some connection with reality.

Unexpectedly, this third system task suddenly made him a little confused.

Because this system task is more like a virtual task.

Just after Liu Yu pressed the button to accept the task, a picture appeared in his mind.

It is not very accurate to say that it is a painting, because the whole picture is a mess and there is no trace.

Liu Yu took a closer look and found that the whole painting was composed of small squares of 100 yuan each horizontally and vertically. On each small square was painted a pattern that was difficult to identify.

"What's the situation? Lianliankan? Or Xiaoxiaole?"

Soon Liu Yu denied this idea, because he found that none of the patterns in thousands of small squares were the same.

Then I read the notes next to it and realized that this is a jigsaw puzzle.

"Ding, assemble the patterns in the 1000 yuan small squares into a complete painting, complete it within three days, and then follow the diagram to the designated place to open the treasure chest!"

"This is a treasure map! I don't know what reward will be given to open the treasure chest."

Liu Yu was a little overjoyed, thinking that this system task is really good. After completing it, not only can he empower Xun Yu with the five elements, but he can also open an extra treasure chest!
Judging from the rewards given by the system every time, there must be a lot of good things in the treasure chest.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I don't know why my lord is laughing?" Xun Yu wanted to get out of Liu Yu's hands with an awkward expression.

Ever since he was helped up by Liu Yu just now, Xun Yu has been dragged by him, not only that, but now Liu Yu is staring at him and laughing wildly.

This laughter made Xun Yu always feel a little hairy, and his palms were sweating because he was held by Liu Yu for too long.

This made Xun Yu uncontrollably nervous. The master is so enthusiastic, so he doesn't have any special hobbies!

Liu Yu was studying the treasure map, when he heard Xun Yu's voice next to his ear, he suddenly remembered that he was recruiting important advisors.

So he closed the system interface and returned to reality.

"Hey! How come I'm so close to Xun Yu, and the palms of my hands still feel warm!"

After a moment, Liu Yu realized that he had been holding each other's hand, and the two big men had been leaning against each other at such a close distance. This scene was really eye-catching, and even Huangfuyan, who was standing by the side, turned his head away in embarrassment. .

Liu Yu quickly let go of his hand, and took two steps back, thinking that in order to prove his orientation, this matter must be explained.

"Hehehe, being able to get Wenruo's help, it's really like a long drought and rain, like a tiger with wings added, like a fish in water... I lost my composure for a moment of joy!" Liu Yu really couldn't think of more synonyms, so he just smiled naively.

……

The three of Liu Yu came to a small burial room, which was transformed into a secret room, and there were square tables and high stools inside, so you don't have to worry about leaking secrets when you sit in it and talk about confidential matters.

At first, a literati like Xun Yu was a little bit against sitting on a high stool, but after trying it a few times, he found that sitting like this is indeed much more comfortable than kneeling on a cushion.

"Ma Teng's side has already started digging the second entrance to the underground palace. The plan to intercept the food and grass should be able to be carried out tonight. I don't know if the sacks I asked Wen Ruo to prepare are all ready?"

"Reporting to my lord, I bought sacks in the surrounding villages a few days ago, and now I have raised about [-] sacks."

Before coming here, Liu Yu made a rough estimate. There are more than 50 bags of grain stored in the southeast underground palace, and each bag weighs about 120 catties. More than ten thousand catties of grain.

"I'm afraid [-] sacks are not enough. At least [-] to [-] sacks must be prepared!" Liu Yu frowned, but he didn't mean to complain about Xun Yu.

Because he knew that buying sacks from nearby villages would definitely not be as good as buying more sacks in Luoyang City, but buying so many sacks at once in the city would definitely arouse suspicion from others.

From a security point of view, Xun Yu was right to buy only in surrounding villages.

"If it doesn't work, let's expand the scope and go to Henan County to buy some sacks for emergency." Liu Yu reminded.

But I heard Xun Yu explain: "My lord, don't worry, write to my nephew three days before next day, asking him to prepare sacks from Yingchuan's hometown, and it will be delivered soon!"

Hearing that Xun Yu asked his nephew for help, Liu Yu was moved for a while and asked, "Could it be Xun You, Xun Gongda, the nephew that Wen Ruo talked about?

Xun Yu replied with a smile, "It's Gongda!"

He wanted to recommend his nephew to Liu Yu, so he explained a few more words.

Xun Yu said: "Gongda is intelligent, quick-witted, and good at ingenuity. Last time he made an appointment with me to go to Jizhou, but it was because of me that I kept him waiting in his hometown. Now I want to introduce him to serve under the lord's command. I don't know if it is possible." ?”

In fact, Xun You was also an official in the imperial court before. When He Jin was in power, Xun You was appointed as the servant of the Huangmen. Later, he was implicated in Wu Fu's plot to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he dismissed him and returned home.

Of course, Liu Yu, a celebrity like this, would not miss it, and nodded happily on the spot.

Liu Yu said: "I have heard of the name of Gongda for a long time! It is an act of a great sage to dare to plot and assassinate for the common people in the world. Since you have not gone to Jizhou, please trouble Wen Ruo to invite him to come with you. Take charge of cutting Dong Zhuo's plan! After Dong Zhuo is eliminated, I will definitely ask for credit for your uncle and nephew, and let the imperial court give you more officials and honors!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Gongda is a person who is dedicated to the court. Being able to worship under the lord's command will surely show his ambitions. As for being promoted to a noble position, it's still second!" Xun Yu didn't expect Liu Yu to attach so much importance to his recommendation , At that time, I happily clasped my fists and thanked you.

It's just that he didn't know that Liu Yu knew Xun You no less than he did.

Xun You's name is Gongda. Although he is Xun Yu's nephew, he is seven or eight years older than him, and Xun You's ability and reputation are not weaker than Xun Yu's.

In history, Xun You was called the "conspiracy master" by Cao Cao, saying that he was full of clever schemes and calculated without omission.

And Xun You first proposed to flood the city of Pi, and capture Lu Fengxian alive, and then proposed to attack the West in the Battle of Guandu, defeating the two armies of Yan Liang, Wen and Chou in a row, and also strongly recommended Cao Cao to accept Xu You and plan Wuchao.

It can be said that most of Cao Cao's victory in Guandu was due to the adoption of Xun You's strategy.
