Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 260

After the two groups of rebels in the southeast and southwest of Luoyang captured the county with great momentum, they suddenly died down.

This strange situation made Niu Fu and Xu Rong, who were in charge of countering the rebellion, both choose to stick to the camp and respond to all changes with the same.

After more than ten days of investigation, Xu Rong finally discovered the main force of the rebel army, that is, the rebel army commanded by the famous general Zhu Jun.

After finding out the news, Xu Rong sent a fast horse to send the information to Luoyang City.

Dong Zhuo hadn't been out of Yong'an Palace these two days, he wanted to use the benefits of the elixir to complete the succession of the family as soon as possible.

When Li Ru came, Dong Zhuo was still in the dormitory, Li Ru was also used to this normal state, so he directly explained the purpose of coming outside the dormitory.

"Report to Grand Master, the former general Xu Rong sent the latest information, saying that Zhu Jun's main force has been discovered!"

After a while, there was no woman's voice in the room, and Dong Zhuo came out of the room after a while.

"Then Zhu Gongwei, are you sure he's in the southeast?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru submitted the information and replied: "It is written in the information that Zhu Jun's rebel army only stayed in the city for three days after occupying Liang County, and then returned to Funiu Mountain after looting the granary."

"...General Xu Rong sent people into the city to inquire and found out that the [-] elites are all fake. Zhu Jun only has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, and most of them are composed of bandits from Funiu Mountain. They don't have too much fighting power!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that the Zhu Jun rebels who were in trouble in Liang County before were actually just outsiders and insiders, he planned to get rid of the opponent in one fell swoop.

"Give Xu Rong an order to lead his troops into Liang County immediately, and if he has the opportunity to directly destroy Zhu Jun's lair! Inform Niu Fu and order him to launch a counterattack against Lu County at the same time!"

Knowing that Zhu Jun's main force is in Funiu Mountain, the [-] rebels in Lu County in the southeast are even less of a concern.

"Reporting to Grand Master, there is a shortage of food and grass ahead. If there is a counterattack, some food and grass must be sent to boost the army's prestige!" After Li Ru finished speaking, he handed the letter from Xu Rong and Niu Fu asking for food and grass to Dong Zhuo.

With the good news before, Dong Zhuo was not so disgusted with the matter of urging for food.

"The underground palace outside the city happens to be transporting food and grass, let Liu Yu lead the army to send some to Niu Fu and Xu Rong!"

After Dong Zhuo gave the order, Li Ru wanted to raise objections. He didn't want Liu Yu to make meritorious deeds again, thus threatening his status, but after thinking about it, he held back his mouth.

The interrogation last night was very unsuccessful. Sima Fang would rather die than recruit, or because of his old age and frailty, he died before dawn.

In the morning, Li Ru went to contact Chen Yuan and wanted him to go to the county government to create the illusion that Sima Fang committed suicide in fear of crime, but found that Chen Yuan had run away.

So Li Ru knew that he might have been played by Chen Yuan.

In a rage, Li Ru asked the military governor to copy the Chen family.

A small Chen family being ransacked and beheaded will not cause much trouble, but the disappearance of Luoyang Ling cannot be kept secret for long.

Li Ru thought that he had to find a way to cover up the matter, so he had no time to compete with Liu Yu at this moment.

"Report to Grand Master, there is one more thing that needs to be reported."

"It's okay for Wen You to speak up if you have something to say!"

"Last night someone saw Luoyang Ling leaving the city alone...he has not returned it yet! His subordinates are worried..."

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo frowned, "My grand master has treated Sima Jiangong well, so is he going to betray me like Lu Bu?"

Thinking that Sima Fang had never agreed to move his family to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo became even more suspicious that Sima Fang had defected to Jizhou.

"Leave this matter to Wen You to investigate. If Sima Fang doesn't return for a long time, he must have a different heart! To treat such a person, we must kill them!"

Dong Zhuo issued a kill order, which made Li Ru secretly happy, knowing that Sima Fang's disappearance would no longer be blamed on him.

But Li Ru didn't want to waste such a good opportunity, although there was no direct evidence to accuse Liu Yu of colluding with Jizhou.But he could take advantage of Sima Fang's disappearance to disgust Liu Yu.

Who asked him to publicly say in Taicang that he wanted to take the second son of the Sima family as his apprentice? Since it was confirmed that Sima Fang had defected to the enemy, then Li Ru could justifiably send someone to Liu's residence to investigate and make a fuss. up.

……

Chen Yuan didn't leave Luoyang City immediately in the morning, he was still watching, when he saw his home being ransacked, and saw the notice saying that Sima Fang had defected to Jizhou, he was scared to pee.

Because he knew that something must have happened to his uncle.

Luoyang City can't stay any longer, but who can he go to?
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuan decided to go to Jizhou to find his cousin Sima Lang.

Only Li Ru knew about the framing of Sima Fang, and Li Ru obviously took Sima Fang to Tingwei prison but let out the news that he had escaped.

It seems that Li Ru didn't want this matter to be known. When he arrived in Jizhou, he said that his uncle was actually assassinated by Liu Yu.
In this way, Li Ru would not tell the truth even more, and Chen Yuan could continue to receive the blessing of the Sima family.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan hurried out of the city and fled in the direction of Jizhou.

……

Sima's family is full of talents, Liu Yu wants to befriend him, but he doesn't want Sima's brothers to become enemies with him because of Sima Fang's accidental death.

This accidental grievance led to the eight brothers of the Sima family defecting to the princes everywhere to be enemies with Liu Yu, which brought considerable resistance to the unification of the great Han.

This is something to say later.

That afternoon Liu Yu went out of the city to Niujia Village, and Xun You and Zhong Yao came, so he had to meet the two in person, and then use the system to see if he could recruit them for himself.

"Ding, Xun You, strength is 55, leadership is 66, resourcefulness is 95, mind is 87, and friendship is 80."

"Ding, Zhong Yao, strength is 60, command is 80, resourcefulness is 85, mind is 93, friendship is 80."

As soon as Liu Yu met, he used the system's visual function to check the attribute values ​​of the two.

It can be seen from the data that Xun You is a military advisor, and his super resourcefulness is almost equal to that of Jia Xu and Xun Yu.

Sure enough, the title of "conspirator" is not in vain.

Zhong Yao's resourcefulness and mental skills are good, and he has a certain commanding ability, which is very comprehensive. He deserves to be a person who can be a state pastor.

In history, Zhong Yao served as a lieutenant of Sili. During his tenure, he enriched the people and wiped out the invasion of the Southern Huns.

The Sili Xiaowei was actually formed by the merger of Sizhou and Yongzhou, so it is not weaker than the power of the state pastor.

For two such outstanding celebrities, Liu Yu must put down his work and chat with them.

"Thank you to the two great sages for funding [-] sacks. Now the problem of intercepting grain and grass has finally been solved."

Liu Yu cupped his fists to express his gratitude, and Xun You and Zhong Yao returned the gift politely.

Immediately afterwards, Xun You's expression turned serious, and he asked, "The king of Zhongshan cracked the case of a mysterious wealthy businessman and made great contributions to the community. I admire this matter, but... as the order of Taicang, you are also the commander of this transfer of grain and grass, but you took the opportunity Don’t you feel ashamed of your trust in the imperial court by filling your own pockets?”

Hearing this, Liu Yu glanced at Xun Yu next to him, only to see him shaking his head helplessly.

"My nephew is outspoken, and he usually hates moths in the court the most. I hope my lord will forgive me a lot!"

As soon as Liu Yu heard it, he knew that Xun Yu hadn't told the two people the real purpose of intercepting the grain and grass. Not only was he not angry, but he was very satisfied that he could keep the secret.

After all, Xun You and Zhong Yao have not yet sworn in, and only Liu Yu can decide whether to disclose many confidential matters.

"Hahaha, I guess Zhong Yuanchang is also questioning the inappropriateness of this matter!"

Hearing Liu Yu mentioning himself, Zhong Yao nodded without fear, "What's the secret behind this matter, please tell the King of Zhongshan clearly!"

Liu Yu intended to subdue the two of them, and he would not let the misunderstanding deepen, so he explained: "I am not the moth you talk about. As for the interception of the food in Taicang, it is entirely for the third step of the plan to cut Dong!"
