Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 43 Liu Bei pledges allegiance, a large reward arrives

Both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao left, and the Habayashi Army also assembled their troops step by step and prepared to return to Hulao Pass.

In front of the stone table, Liu Yu is still eating roast chicken, while Liu Bei and Sun Jian are standing on both sides, thinking about their own thoughts, maybe they are still reminiscing about the shock brought by that "map" in their minds!
"Why are you two standing there, eat the chicken legs so we can go back to Hulao!"

Liu Yu used the system's visual function to check the friendship between the two while talking.

Sun Jian's friendship is 80, Liu Bei's friendship is 100, and the recruitment success rate is 95%.

"I rely on Liu Bei's recruitment success rate to reach 95%. It seems that the rhetoric just now has really helped a lot. Maybe it's time to take a risk to execute the recruitment!"

Liu Bei, who has 99 intellects, is actually very ambitious. Although he usually hides it very well, his friendship has loosened after his reunion with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei last time. This makes Liu Yu unwilling to wait for a long time.

The so-called long nights and many dreams, if Liu Bei encounters other temptations one day and the recruitment success rate drops sharply, it will not be beautiful.

Just as Liu Yu was about to give it a go and execute the recruitment order, Sun Jian suddenly knelt down on one knee.

Seeing that both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had left safely, Sun Jian also wanted to beg Liu Yu to let him go, and promised that when he returned to Changsha County, where he was governed, he would recruit soldiers again to beg Dong Zhuo and swear to be loyal to the great man.

However, Liu Yu had his own plan for getting rid of Dong Zhuo and revitalizing the imperial court. The reason why he coaxed Cao Cao and Yuan Shaozhi to the frontier was because he didn't want them to raise troops and make trouble again, thus hindering his plan to bring down Dong Zhuo .

Sun Jian didn't really see through these things and wanted to raise troops to challenge Dong. Liu Yu naturally wouldn't agree, and Sun Jian's friendship was gradually rising, and it was even more impossible for Liu Yu to let him go.

Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "I know that your abilities and ambitions are not inferior to those of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and you definitely want to learn from them to lead the army and fight for the country."

"But now the big man is weak, and Dong Zhuo controls the center. I want to go to Luoyang to turn things around. When I get rid of Dong thief, I will not only let you go, but also fully support you to fight for the country!"

After hearing this, Sun Jian knew that Liu Yu had no intention of releasing himself for the time being, and felt a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to stand aside again and go into a daze.

At this time, Liu Bei took a step forward and knelt down on one knee like Sun Jian did just now.

Liu Yu asked with some dissatisfaction: "Could it be that Xuande also wants to leave me?"

Liu Bei replied: "My lord not only has the ambition to set things right, but also has the ambition to expand the territory for the country. How can I leave if I know the lord so well!"

Liu Bei also opened his eyes tonight. He had only heard about the countries of the Western Regions before, but he never thought that there are more powerful countries and richer products in the west of the Western Regions, and these are constantly stimulating his hidden powers. Deep ambition.

In the past six days, Liu Bei has witnessed Liu Yu's clever methods with his own eyes. He believes that following Liu Yu will definitely make him stand out, and maybe he can re-enter the royal family and become a king.

Under the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty is the king, and the king has a fief. If this fief can be outside the country, then the king will really become a king!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was a little excited, and he finally made up his mind to swear allegiance to Liu Yu sincerely.

"Liu Bei is a grassroots man, but the lord does not dislike my humble background and still treats me as the same clan and keeps him by his side. There is nothing in return. I just ask the lord that no matter whether you go to Luoyang to eliminate thieves or lead troops to conquer the Western Regions, please take me with you. When the saddle is on the horse and the horse is on the back, I will do my best!"

Liu Bei's unexpected answer made Liu Yu a little confused at first, so he wondered why the big ears suddenly became so sensational.

Open the system and see, let me go, Liu Bei's recruitment success rate has reached 100%, now Liu Yu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and quickly pressed the recruitment command.

"Ding, Liu Bei's loyalty has reached 100, congratulations on successfully recruiting the host."

After the successful recruitment, the joy was still in the future and happy, and then heard a series of crisp sounds from the system.

"Ding, activate the metal property, one-fifth of the system's charge is completed, activate the fire attribute, and two-fifths of the system's charge is completed."

"Ding, the delayed reward 'supermarket' arrives."

"Ding, the delayed reward 'Friendship Card x 2' arrives."

"Ding, the delayed reward 'upgrade card x 2' arrives."

"Ding, the delayed reward 'Soul of the Military God' has arrived."

A series of system prompts made Liu Yu fascinated by listening to it. He lost the east and harvested Sangyu, let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao go, but successfully recruited Liu Bei.

Not only activated the two attributes, but also got four delayed rewards in a row. This unexpected joy made Liu Yu really want to kiss Liu Bei's face.

"Xuande, get up quickly, you and I are the descendants of big men, as the saying goes, brothers who are easy to fight, I will take you with me wherever I go in the future, and when I am not in the army, you will be the acting commander of the Habayashi Army !"

Liu Bei burst into tears of gratitude when he heard the words, while Sun Jian envied his friendship directly to 90.

……

The Zhang Liao and Cheng Pu armies who raided Chengmu County were the first two teams to return to Hulao Pass. They not only took thousands of prisoners, but also brought back a large amount of food and supplies.

Coupled with the fact that Huang Gai brought another group of soldiers, it was time for the Habayashi Army to expand again.

In Xushi, several battalions of soldiers brought by Liu Yu to Dagu Mountain also returned one after another. Tian Feng and Jia Xu went to wait and greet outside Hulao Pass in person.

Liu Yu saw the two standing on both sides of the closed door from a distance, so he took a few steps to meet them.

"It's getting late, the two gentlemen are still waiting here, I really appreciate your work!"

Tian Feng and Jia Xu hurriedly returned their gifts, saying that the protagonist Liu Yu is both wise and brave, and he will surely win every battle.

Before Tian Feng was appointed by Liu Yu as the chief secretary of the army, he was in charge of logistics affairs, and he should also count and arrange some things after the battle of each battalion after the army returned one after another.

Tian Feng left, and Jia Xu reported to Liu Yu what he had seen and heard in Gong County.

Jia Xu said that General Li Jue did not actually lead troops to pursue the suspected soldiers heading east, as if the end point of his pursuit of Sun Jian's army was Gong County.

And when Jia Xu told the news of Fan Silk's death in battle, Li Jue didn't show too much shock, but showed a hint of joy instead.

Although there are many factions in the Xiliang Army, Jia Xu has never heard of the big gap between Li Jue and Fan Silk. Why was he so happy when he heard that Fan Silk died?

Jia Xu felt that this was suspicious, so she inquired about it in private, only to find out that Li Jue came here not only to chase Sun Jian's remnant soldiers, but also came with two other missions.

The first one sent two months' grain and grass to Fan Su's army, and the second tried to raise food.

It was Dong Zhuo's order to raise food, and the allied forces of the princes besieged Luoyang to make the city's granaries bottom out.

Although the princes retreated, the expenses after the war were still indispensable, especially at the front lines like Hulao Pass.

In the end, Dong Zhuo ordered food to be transferred from his hometown in Xiliang.

Now that Fan Silk was killed in battle, Li Jue could justifiably own the food and grass that was transported.

Liu Yu absolutely agrees with Jia Xu's deduction, and after this battle, the strength of Hulao Pass has increased to [-], but Liu Yu is not worried about food and grass, because the supplies Zhang Liao brought back from Chengmu are enough for Hulao soldiers to feed for a while.

What he was worried about was that Li Jue would come to take over Fan Jue's troops. After all, they all belonged to the Xiliang Army and Li Jue had a high prestige in the Xiliang Army. It would be difficult for him to come to Hulao Pass and Liu Yu, a dignitary, would not object.

But Liu Yu is not a philanthropist either, and the troops he had so much trouble obtaining could never be cheaper for others.

Since he couldn't object, he tried to hide the soldiers in advance, so that Li Jue had no soldiers to grab.

Chengmu County, not far from Hulao Pass, is a good place to hide soldiers.

Regardless of whether it was Sun Jian's surrender or the defeat of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the news had not yet spread, which left Liu Yu room to play.
