Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 371 Whereabouts exposed
Although it felt like Jushou had seen through something, Cheng Yu was not prepared to stand up and defend himself, because he knew Yuan Shao's temperament very well, and knew that when he saw the pros and cons in the letter, he would definitely agree to send troops.

"Meng De is a child of mine. This time, the joint dispatch of troops to suppress the bandits is exactly what I want. I have ordered [-] high-ranking troops to continue to advance eastward. The rest will return to Yecheng tomorrow. After a little adjustment, follow me to fight the bandits!"

Sure enough, Yuan Shao issued the military order, Cheng Yu thanked him and left when he saw the task was completed, and Ju Shou offered to send them off, so they both left the camp.

Walking on the road, Ju Shou said with a smile that was not a smile: "Cao Mengde's father has a big appetite!"

Cheng Yu pretended to be stupid and replied: "Hehe, my lord has indeed gained a lot of weight recently!"

The two looked at each other, and the sparks flashed by, and they didn't talk after that, until they were about to part, and Jushou didn't speak again.

"The black mountain bandits are said to be in the millions, but there are only [-] soldiers who can really fight. The rest are the old and weak, women and children. It happens that the state is sparsely populated. With these people, we can develop the farming there."

The other party made it clear that Cheng Yu seemed to have no demeanor after pretending.

And the fact is that it was false to unite with Yuan Shao to encircle and suppress Montenegro, and what Cao Cao really wanted was to take over millions of Montenegro people.

"It turns out that Mr. Zifu has seen through my master's plot long ago, but...why didn't he expose it in the camp, and instead came here to tell me."

Before Jushou didn't say anything, he said that he didn't mean to make things difficult. At this time, Cheng Yu was honest with each other and Jushougao took a look.

"Jizhou's land is fertile and densely populated, so we don't need those troublemakers." Ju Shou stroked his beard with a half-smile.

"However, I heard that the land in Bingzhou is barren. Suddenly there are millions of unscrupulous people, but there is not enough land to produce food. I'm afraid there will be some troubles. Mr. Cheng Yu can think of a countermeasure in advance?"

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Zifu for your kind reminder!" Cheng Yu cupped his fists respectfully on the surface.

"The nine counties of Bingzhou are actually in the hands of the Han people, only the south of Taiyuan, Shangdang and Yanmen counties, and the others are occupied by Qianghu and Xianbei. My master has always wanted to open up the territory for the Han people, and the black mountain bandits are too. Han people, it should be a duty to serve the country."

Smart people don't need to say too much, Jushou sent off to test whether Cao Cao had the idea of ​​going east, and Cheng Yu promptly revealed that the lord Cao Cao's ambition was in the northwest, and the reason for recruiting the Black Mountain bandits was not to compete with Jizhou for armaments.

In addition, the [-]-mile Taihang Mountains almost completely separated the main cities of Bingzhou and Jizhou, so Jushou did not intend to continue to embarrass his allies.

Watching Cheng Yu leave, Ju Shou's expression gradually became serious.

Everything is inseparable from man's control, a million black bandits can be a lot of wealth, but he also knows that with Yuan Shao's bearing, he will never agree to recruit black bandits, because he has angered Yuan Shao a lot.

Now that Cao Cao intends to incorporate it, it can be regarded as a solution for Jizhou's future worries, but even if the Black Mountain bandits are wiped out, the soldiers deployed on the front line of Taihang Mountain will still not be able to withdraw. Not only that, but he also reminded Yuan Shao to send more troops there to supplement the defense.

…………

Just as Liu Yu and his party left Guangzong City, Gao Lan and Cheng Gongying returned to Yuan Jun's camp at Jieqiao.

"General Gao came back, did he catch Gongsun Zan?"

Brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are Gao Lan's brother-in-law, and it was Lu Kuang who reminded him last night not to miss the good opportunity to hunt down and kill Gongsun Zan.

Gao Lan sighed, and said dejectedly, "I didn't see half of Gongsun Zan, not only that, but General Wen Chou!"

"what……"

"what!"

The Lu brothers were shocked when they heard the words, Wen Chou was Yuan Shao's favorite general, and his death would definitely arouse the wrath of the lord Yuan Shao.

"How can this be good? General Wen Chou was killed in battle, and my lieutenant general will be punished!" Lu Kuang looked remorseful and annoyed. Last night he was only focused on beheading the defeated soldiers in Youzhou, and forgot to stare at the general Wen Chou.

In fact, who is to blame for this? Wen Chou has superior military strength, and he doesn't want others to compete with him, so he only took fifty riders to chase Gongsun Zan. If he had been more cautious and brought more soldiers, naturally he would not have died.

"My dear brother, don't worry, although you failed to capture Gongsun Zan, you have obtained a more valuable piece of news for your brother."

After Gao Lan finished speaking, he introduced Cheng Gongying to the Lu brothers.

"When I see the lord later, I will tell you that you and I rescued brother Chenggong. I believe that with this credit, the lord will not blame you two for the death of General Wen Chou."

The Lu brothers nodded quickly, and at the same time they all understood that the important news Gao Lan said should have something to do with Cheng Gongying.

…………

"What! You said that it was... that person who killed Wen Chou?"

Hearing that Ai was going to be killed, Yuan Shao's beard flew up in anger.

"Reporting to Master Jizhou Mu, the villain saw with his own eyes that it was Liu Yu who killed General Wen Chou! I also overheard that Liu Yu intended to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan during this trip."

Cheng Gongying looked smug, feeling that this news was enough for him to gain Yuan Shao's trust.

After all, Liu Yu's status is extraordinary, and any prince who catches him can gain a lot of benefits from it. Yuan Shao is an ambitious prince, so he must understand the preciousness of this news.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's short-term anger quickly turned into secret joy, and even the pain of losing the general was forgotten.

"Wen Chou went after Gongsun Zan. Liu Yu killed Wen Chou to save him. If this person is allowed to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan, Jizhou will be in danger. It seems that you cannot leave Jizhou alive!"

Yuan Shao clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

Liu Yu's constant emergence and the exposure of Luoyang's military strength have long made Yuan Shao vigilant. He has the heart to fight for world hegemony, and the last thing he wants to see is the revival of the royal family.

Catching or killing Liu Yu is equivalent to eliminating a potential opponent. It would be even better if he could take the opportunity to recruit the troops from Luoyang.

In addition, there is a big secret hidden in the genealogy left by the ancestors of the Yuan family, which is about Xu Fudong's journey to Xiandao in the Qin Dynasty.

Yuan Shao discovered that Liu Yu seemed to know the exact location of the Immortal Island when he was in Dagu Mountain, and coupled with the rumors from Luoyang, the capital, that Liu Yu was the apprentice of Immortal Kang, this made Yuan Shao believe in the existence of the Immortal Island and the Immortal Medicine even more.

"If Liu Yu can be controlled, the fairy medicine of Xiandao will be at your fingertips. Even if these are fake, at least killing him will clear the way for yourself to dominate the world!"

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the happier he became, and his desire to hunt and kill Liu Yu became more urgent.

"Liu Yu will return to Luoyang immediately after meeting Gongsun Zan. If he doesn't hurry up and arrange troops to intercept him, he will lose this god-given opportunity."

It's just that killing Liu Yu is not an easy task. After all, he is a lord of the Han Dynasty. If he doesn't handle it well, he will be charged with treason. Therefore, Yuan Shao must find a capable and trustworthy person to do this matter.

"Tell Sima Lang to come see me."

Sima Lang is the son of Sima Fang, and Chen Yuan from Luoyang is his cousin.

In order to avenge Liu Yu, Chen Yuan framed him many times but failed, and finally had no choice but to escape from Luoyang and defected to his cousin Sima Lang, and brought enough "evidence" to prove that his uncle Sima Fang was killed by Liu Yu.

Although the death of Luoyang Commander Sima Fang was not directly related to Liu Yu, under the propaganda of Li Ru and Chen Yuan, it was still regarded as a fact by outsiders, so that the entire Sima family regarded him as an enemy.

Sima Lang, whose name is Boda, is the longest among the eight brothers. He is calm-headed, ruthless, capable of writing and martial arts, and has a feud with Liu Yu who killed his father. He is the best person to direct this hunting operation. Candidates.
