I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Inside Pinggu City.

Liu Yu, who was wearing coarse cloth, was holding a jade bowl and eating eight vegetables and one soup.

As soon as I was half full, I heard that the staff came to report.

"Provincial Governor, Wei Chu and his party have arrived outside Pinggu City."

"Wei Chu is here!"

After hearing Qi Zhou's words, Liu Yu quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.

"I don't know what happened to He'er. I sent someone to notify him in advance, so I didn't even have the slightest preparation."

Having said this, Liu Yu stood up and walked outside the house.

Qi Zhou saw this and quickly followed.

"Provincial Governor, according to the report from the guard at the gate, the eldest son seems not to have been seen outside the city."

Liu Yu paused slightly and turned around slowly, "I didn't see He'er. What does that mean? Is He'er not with Wei Chu and others?"

"I'm not so sure either."

"That's it."

Liu Yu waved his hand towards Qi Zhou, "Let's go meet Wei Chu first."

The first time Wei Chu saw Liu Yu, he felt that Liu Yu was a bit hypocritical.

Liu Yu is the governor of Youzhou and is in charge of a state.

He is not short of money or people.

But he wore the cheapest clothes, which clearly told the people that he was an honest official.

But Wei Chu knew that Liu Yu was actually not honest.

After Liu Yu fought with Gongsun Zan and was defeated, Gongsun Zan sent people to search Liu Yu's mansion and found hundreds of carts of good things.

The second impression Liu Yu gave to Wei Chu was enthusiasm.

As soon as Wei Chu got off his horse, Liu Yu smiled and grabbed Wei Chu's wrist.

People who don't know, think that Liu Yu has a special orientation.

"Hahaha, I have long heard in Youzhou that General Wei is both civil and military and is the pillar of the Han Dynasty. When I saw General Wei today, just by looking at General Wei's face, I knew that General Wei was a rare young talent. , is the hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Wei Chu hugged his fists towards Liu Yu.

"Liu Prefect is in charge of Youzhou, and his reputation has spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Liu Prefect is the hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Yu waved his hand towards Wei Chu and changed the subject.

"By the way, I once sent my son Liu He to meet General Wei at the border of Youzhou. I wonder why my son Liu He didn't go with General Wei today? This is quite rude of him!"

"Master Liu?"

After Wei Chu heard Liu Yu's words, he looked at each other with Gouzi and others, and couldn't help but frown.

"Liu Governor, we took the Bingzhou Road and entered Youzhou. We walked along the official road and did not meet Mr. Liu."

"No encounter?"

Liu Yu's brows also frowned instantly.

He secretly scolded Liu He for slacking off on such an important matter.

But soon, Liu Yu smiled at Wei Chu again and said, "General Wei, please don't blame me. My son Liu He did something a bit unreliable this time. When he returns to Pinggu City, I will definitely teach him a lesson and slap him." whip."

When Wei Chu heard Liu Yu's words, he sneered in his heart. Liu He and others were thrown into the river, and they must have been eaten by fish and shrimps until only their bones were left.

"Liu Governor, the border of Youzhou is so large, it is normal for Mr. Liu and us to miss each other. You must not embarrass Mr. Liu because of this matter."

"Okay, let's not talk about Quan Zi. General Wei, please follow me into the city!"

Wei Chu and his party followed Liu Yu into the city.

Diao Chan and other women were arranged by Liu Yu in a separate courtyard.

Twelve swordsmen in white were responsible for guarding outside the courtyard.

Wang Yue, Han Long and Gouzi followed Wei Chu to the banquet prepared by Liu Yu.

The banquet prepared by Liu Yu was very simple.

No good wine, no good food.

All are relatively ordinary foods.

When Wei Chu sat down, Liu Yu picked up the wine glass and said to Wei Chu: "Youzhou is a bitter cold place. The banquet prepared today is a bit shabby. Please don't blame me for not treating me well, General Wei."

Before Wei Chu could answer, Liu Yu sighed again, "The people of Youzhou are miserable. Life is not easy, but they are still threatened by war. This time, General Wei, you must help me well and persuade me." Gongsun Zan reined in his horse."

Wei Chu picked up the wine glass and nodded towards Liu Yu.

Historically, during the battle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu actually chose to take the initiative.

He gathered 10 people and prepared to eat Gongsun Zan in one bite.

Before leaving, everyone who was engaged in Cheng Xu's dissuasion was directly ordered to be beheaded by Liu Yu.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan was so capable that he defeated Liu Yu in a few blows and captured Liu Yu alive.

In the end, before Gongsun Zan framed Liu Yu, he conspired with Yuan Shao to become emperor, and coerced the imperial envoy Duan Xun to behead Liu Yu.

Now that Liu Yu is showing mercy, it is most likely because the trajectory of history has deviated, and Liu Yu is not yet ready to completely defeat Gongsun Zan.

Wei Chu put down his wine glass and said to Liu Yu: "The purpose of my coming to Youzhou this time is to mediate the conflict between the governor and Gongsun Zan. Therefore, I will do my best to prevent unrest in Youzhou."

"But to do this, I need the governor to cooperate with me."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Liu Yu smiled and said: "General Wei, how do you need my cooperation? Please just ask!"

"First, please ask the governor to send someone to interview Gongsun Zan. The three of us must sit down and talk calmly."

Liu Yu stretched out his hand and touched his beard, then nodded to Wei Chu and said, "I will send someone to interview Gongsun Zan right away. We can find a place between Pinggu and Wuzhong as the meeting place. I think Gongsun Zan should not come." Will refuse."

"Second, please ask the governor to temporarily leave the tiger talisman for mobilizing Youzhou soldiers and horses to me for safekeeping."

Wei Chu's words immediately made Liu Yu, Qi Zhou and others frown.

The tiger talisman for mobilizing troops is a very important thing.

Wei Chu's request was a bit excessive.

Before Liu Yu could answer, Wei Chu waved to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue understood, took out a copy of the imperial edict and handed it to Wei Chu's hand.

"This is the emperor's intention. Please ask the governor to see it."

After Liu Yu took over the imperial edict and read it, Wei Chu continued: "At the beginning of the interview, I will also ask Gongsun Zan to hand over the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. The purpose of doing this is to prevent both parties from interfering with me. During the process of mediation, a sudden attack was launched.”

"This is considered an insurance and a kind of sincerity."

"Of course, I will only temporarily keep the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. The generals under the governor's command all obey the governor's orders. Even if the tiger talisman is in my hand, it will not be effective."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Liu Yu nodded slightly.

The governor holds the power of a state.

With a single order, armies can be mobilized.

The so-called tiger charm actually only has symbolic meaning.

Even if Liu Yu gives the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops to Wei Chu.

As long as Liu Yu doesn't die, Liu Yu is in charge, and Wei Chu holds the tiger talisman, he can't even think of mobilizing any soldiers in Youzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Since it is the emperor's will, I should obey it."
