Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 86
Successfully solved the problem of suppressing bandit military rations, and presented a peerless treasure that benefited the country and the people, which made Liu Yu have a good impression in the minds of the officials.

It's just that the cultivation of potatoes is still in the experimental stage, and only Liu Yu knows how to cultivate them.

So neither Dong Zhuo nor the ministers forced him to hand over the seeds of the ground eggs immediately, and no one competed with him for the job of planting ground eggs.

Of course, this is not because of the kindness of Dong Zhuo and the ministers, but because the new species of potato has just appeared. Whether it will be as productive as Liu Yu said, we will have to wait until autumn to know.

At that time, it is estimated that there will be an open competition!
……

The problem of military rations has been settled, so Lu Bu asked again to lead troops to suppress the bandits.

"Please father-in-law allow the child to lead troops to suppress the bandits!"

Although Lu Bu recognized Dong Zhuo as foster father, he seldom called him that in public, even less in the hall as a child.

As the number one martial artist in the world, he still values ​​face very much.

Because of this, even Dong Zhuo was a little puzzled, why was Lu Bu so concerned about sending troops to suppress the bandits this time?

It's a pity that no matter what Lu Bu's thoughts are, it is impossible for him to take on this task.

Because this time Liu Yu won't let him mess up the situation again.

"The grand master must not agree to General Lu's request! As I said before, General Fengxian is more suitable for fighting against strong soldiers. It is better to leave the task of suppressing bandits to more professional people!"

Hearing that Liu Yu came out to stop him again, Lu Bu's forehead bulged out of anger, but he didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of Dong Zhuo.

He could only grit his teeth and ask, "Why does King Zhongshan have trouble with me everywhere? How do you know that I can't wipe out Hongnong's Baibo bandits?"

Liu Yu replied: "It is precisely because I believe that General Fengxian will quickly wipe out those bandits when he goes out, so I will stop you from leading the army!"

"Most of the Baibo thieves are common people near Luoyang, and because they have nothing to eat, they follow the thieves to make trouble."

"Now that the princes and rebels have just retreated, it is time for Luoyang to recuperate, and when the new species of ground eggs can be mass-produced after autumn, a lot of labor will be needed."

"That's why the mission of this expedition to suppress bandits should be based on persuasion and education, supplemented by killing the enemy. Therefore, it is necessary to employ professionals who know how to deal with bandits as commanders."

After some in-depth explanations, Liu Yu described the Baibo thief as a resource of the imperial court and a labor force to revive the prosperity of Luoyang.

Lu Bu was speechless after hearing this, while Dong Zhuo and the ministers applauded.

These people are all in high positions, and they naturally understand that population is the root of a city's development and growth.

In history, the Baibo thieves gathered a maximum of more than 50 people. If these people can be persuaded to go back to farming and production, it will definitely help the prosperity of the Luoyang area.

You must know that the population of Luoyang City in its heyday was only one million.

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the main hall at the moment, saw that Liu Yu had changed the topic back to the original plan, so he hinted that his son-in-law Niu Fu would make a timely push.

"I don't know who the bandit suppression professionals that King Zhongshan mentioned are exactly?"

With Niu Fu's question, everyone stopped paying attention to Lu Bu's initiative to fight, but was curious to know who is the professional in Liu Yu's mouth.

At this time, Situ Wangyun glanced at the opposite side. Apart from Niu Fu, there were Li Jue, Guo Si and Xu Rong. These three were also generals holding military power.

If Lu Bu is not suitable for leading the army, it is estimated that Liu Yu can only choose one of these people!

Anyway, the military power is on the Xiliang faction's side, and the royalists only have some palace guards in their hands, so it is impossible to win some military exploits for their own party.

Thinking of this, Wang Yun was a little dull, but after hearing Liu Yu's recommendation of that person's name, he suddenly felt like he had a chicken blood, and his view of Liu Yu completely changed.

I only heard Liu Yu say: "I recommend a person, this person first turned the tide in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and defeated hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves with only [-] soldiers and horses."

"Afterwards, Liangzhou's rebel kingdom surrounded Chencang, and their forces approached Chang'an City. It was this person who led the troops to fight in times of crisis, and wiped out the kingdom's rebellion in one fell swoop!"

"I believe that with his experience in fighting against bandits and rebelling against chaos, he will be qualified to be the commander in charge of conquering the white wave bandits!"

"So the bandit suppression commander I would recommend is the old general Huangfu Yizhen!"

As soon as Huangfusong's name was called out, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again.

The royalist faction was very excited, and their expression of contempt and sarcasm at Liu Yu changed to gratitude, and some people even eagerly wanted to second the proposal.

Because Huangfusong is the only general among the royalists who knows how to command the army.

After fighting openly and secretly with the Xiliang faction for several years, Wang Yun and the others found that there was no army in hand, and their speeches in the court became weak.

However, the generals of the Xiliang faction all stared coldly at the center of the hall, among them Xu Rong and Ma Teng were also very dissatisfied with Liu Yu's actions.

Huangfu Song is the sinner who offended Grand Master Dong Zhuo, he will be executed three days later, whoever dares to intercede at this time will be guilty of the same crime as him.

Could it be that Liu Yu lost his mind and went crazy? He ignored Dong Zhuo's favor and insisted on mentioning Huangfusong in front of the palace. Isn't this going to slap Dong Zhuo in the face!
"Presumptuous! Huangfu Song is a person who has committed a serious crime. Could it be that King Zhongshan recommended him to be the commander of the bandit suppression because he wanted to intercede for him?"

"Huangfu Song disrespected his adoptive father, and even had connections with that mysterious rich businessman, whoever dares to intercede will be guilty of the same crime!"

Guo Si and Lu Bu jumped out to question respectively, and at the same time they also wanted to fight for the job of commanding troops to suppress bandits again. After all, it was [-] shi of food, which general would not be tempted.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's face was also extremely ugly, he habitually touched his nose with his hands, and there was a great killing intent in his eyes, but in his heart he was actually happy.

Because his plan was finally considered a success.

In order not to let Guo Si and Lu Bu spoil the plan, Dong Zhuo pretended to be angry and took the case.

"Liu Yu, don't dare to act recklessly just because my grand master favors you! If you want to save Huangfusong, unless you are willing to give up all the previous rewards!" Dong Zhuo looked at the center of the hall furiously.

He just made Liu Yu Guang Lu Xun, and also increased his monthly salary, and intends to let Liu Yu take over the post of Taiwei. This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

If Liu Yu chooses to give up these in order to rescue Huangfusong, not only will he cut off his official career, but he will also be regarded as an opposing faction by Dong Zhuo.

Will this young king of Zhongshan give up these hard-earned rewards?
Everyone was still guessing but Liu Yu answered without hesitation.

"I recommended General Huangfu to relieve the court's difficulties, but personal honor is nothing in front of the court's overall situation! I am willing to give up my official position."

Liu Yu had a calm expression, as if he didn't care about his official career at all.

In order to cooperate with Liu Yu to make the tricks more realistic, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to show that he was a little embarrassed by his attitude.

At this time, the royalists were afraid that Dong Zhuo's anger would be detrimental to Liu Yu, so they came out to intercede.

"My minister, Situ Wang Yun, is willing to recommend Huangfusong together with King Zhongshan!"

"Sir Sikong and Xun Shuang seconded the proposal!"

"Chen Weiwei Yang Biao seconded!"

……

The Sangong and Jiuqing seconded the proposal in turn, while Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu looked at each other and blinked.

Their plan succeeded, Sangong Jiuqing was willing to intercede for Liu Yu, which has already shown their attitude.

Dare to confront Dong Zhuo head-on, and is a rare young commander. How could the royalists let go of wooing and recruiting such a talent!
As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and Dong Zhuo himself said just now that as long as Liu Yu is willing to give up the reward, he will release Huang Fusong.

Although what he said just now seemed to be angry words, but as the grand master, how can he easily change his words in the hall.

"Order Huangfu Song to be the general who seeks the bandits, and allow him to take the crime and make meritorious service. From now on, we will go with Guo Si to deal with Hongnong's Baibo bandits!"

"Remove Zhongshan King Liu Yujiuqing's position, but think that he has found high-yield crops for the country, and he will be granted the order of Taicang. You can cultivate ground eggs for my Taishi in Luoyang City with peace of mind!"

Dong Zhuo gave two orders in a row, then got up and left.Chang Shi Han Rang hurriedly shouted to retreat at the top of his voice, only then did the ministers bow to the emperor and leave.
