Outside the mansion, Gan Ning was still waiting.

He still couldn't see the unfinished meaning in Jia Xu's words.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Ling Han and Zhao Yun walking out together, Gan Ning came up to meet him.

He didn't hear any movement in the mansion, so he didn't know what happened just now.

However, he faintly felt that His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood.

"I want to walk alone, you don't have to follow."

After Ling Han said a word, he left the Yang Mansion.

Zhao Yun looked thoughtfully at his junior brother's back.

Gan Ning also looked at the back, and said with emotion: "Your Highness... did you know Yang Luo when you were in the palace?"

Zhao Yun looked at him and said, "Why did General Gan say that?"

"Oh, my guards heard the rumors from the prisoners in East County."

Gan Ning explained: "This eunuch named Yang Luo has quite a lot of experience. He originally came out of the palace in Luoyang, followed Dong Zhuo first, and then defected to Cao Cao. According to soldiers in Dongjun, Yang Luo was very His Highness's hatred is a well-known fact in Cao Ying. Some people speculate whether Yang Luo used to be the eunuch next to His Highness, and His Highness didn't take him with him when he escaped from the palace, so he held a grudge against His Highness."

"But if this is the case, this Yang Luo is too ridiculous. If His Highness really brought him back then, it would be terrible."

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "It's better not to spread such rumors."

"Well," Gan Ning also agreed, "I have ordered that the people below are not allowed to discuss this matter anymore, just to tell you, General Zhao."

Zhao Yun nodded.

At this time, two soldiers came out carrying the dying Yang Luo.

Of course, the body was covered with a white cloth.

Seeing this, Gan Ning asked, "What are you doing?"

A soldier replied: "Return to the general, we are about to carry this man outside the city and bury him."

His Highness didn't say anything about the burial regulations, didn't tell anyone else, just ordered them to deal with it casually.

Generally speaking, that's what it means.

When the other person heard Gan Ning's question, he suddenly became a little uncertain: "General Zhao, what His Highness just meant...is that so?"

Zhao Yun nodded: "You guys go."

The two breathed a sigh of relief and carried Yang Luo away.

Gan Ning became more and more puzzled.

Not long after His Highness entered, the man died.

He couldn't help but said: "No matter what mistakes this eunuch committed, since His Highness is saddened by his passing away, why don't you bury him better?"

Even if a thick burial is not possible, it will not be wrapped in a layer of white cloth and buried casually.

Zhao Yundao: "Probably because of General Yang Zhen and those cavalry."

After all, he didn't explain any more, and left with the blood-stained silver gun.

Gan Ning touched his chin upon hearing this.

Because General Yang Zhen and the cavalry...

Is this eunuch related to His Highness being robbed and killed?

After Ling Han left, he walked aimlessly along the long street.

He didn't have any hesitation in executing Yang Luo.

But when he ordered to hastily dispose of the other party's body and walked out of the gate of Yang Mansion, he felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

It seems like a story is over.

On the way to escape from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, Ling Han felt that something was wrong.

If there is really a time traveler, then this time traveler is probably very familiar with himself.

At that time, he thought of the bamboo forest that made him cross, and Yang Qiming who visited the Han Palace with him that day.

The Yang Qiming in memory is completely different from Yang Luo.

He's cheerful, warm, lively, and, aside from the occasional brag, is a pretty nice guy.

If you didn't come here by accident, you should be able to live happily all the time.

Traveling together could have been regarded as fate, how did it end up in this situation?

Ling Han remembered what Zuo Ci said in his dream that day.

Heaven wants to destroy the Han Dynasty, and it will not be tolerated by you, so there will be a catastrophe of the alliance of princes.

If this is true, he finds it ridiculous.

Is it possible that the life and death of individuals, the rise and fall of dynasties, and whether people in the world will be happy or miserable, have all been written in advance?

I just don't believe it.

Ling Han took a deep breath.

Although he lost a lot, he still survived that catastrophe.Since he survived, he survived with the expectations of many people, so he must not disappoint their expectations.

Without further ado, Ling Han stopped in his tracks.

He decided to visit Jia Xu now.

The reason why he went to Jia Xu first instead of Xun Yu was because the other party sent bamboo slips on his own initiative.

Jia Fu.

Ling Han said: "I have already read the bamboo slips prepared by the master, and they are very clear. I have come to the residence to pay my respects to the master."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "If Your Highness finds it useful, Xu would be very honored."

Ling Han asked: "I don't know what sir thinks about Dongjun and Yanzhou?"

Jia Xu said with a smile, "East County is Cao Cao's capital, but His Highness easily captured it. The rest of Yanzhou's counties are no problem."

After a pause, Jia Xu asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has been to the Xun Mansion?"

Ling Han said: "Never."

"Then will His Highness go?"

Ling Han felt that Jia Xu seemed to have something to say, so he couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Jia Xu first bowed to Ling Han before speaking slowly.

"The Xun family has produced a large number of talents since ancient times, and Wen Ruo is the most talented person in the Xun family's generation. Your Highness wants to recruit Wen Ruo, it is most appropriate."

"It's just that although Wen Ruo intends to contribute to the Han Dynasty, he has been loyal to Cao Cao after following Cao Cao for many years. This time, when he fought His Highness, Wen Ruo handed over the city defenses to others and stayed behind closed doors. , the attitude is evident.”

"According to what I know about Wen Ruo, His Royal Highness Ruo is going to the Xun Mansion at this moment, and he is moved with affection. Under the dilemma between the two, Wen Ruo fears that he may commit suicide."

Ling Han frowned deeply: "Execute yourself?"

He hadn't thought about it, and in his impression, Xun Yu would not be such a person.

But in history, before Cao Cao bestowed Xun Yu's death, the two indeed had a deep friendship between monarch and minister.

Ling Han glanced at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu has been working with Xun Yu for a while, and he must have a better understanding of Xun Yu than himself.

So he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you sir for reminding me."

Speaking of...

Give bamboo slips first, and then take the initiative to say these things to yourself.

This is also different from the Jia Xu in Ling Han's impression.

He didn't really have to do these things.As long as you go with the flow and get a leisurely official job, it seems to be more in line with the personality of being wise and safe.

In fact, Jia Xu is not very different from what Ling Han thinks.

When he was under Dong Zhuo's school, as long as no one asked him, he would never take the initiative to speak.

After arriving in Cao Cao's camp, when it is not necessary, he will not take the initiative to offer advice, at most he will open his mouth to express his position.

The reason why he took the initiative to talk to Ling Han about this.

It is only because he believes that the possibility of King Changsha winning the world is far greater than that of other people.

If there are no accidents, I should no longer have the possibility of giving advice to another prince.

At least, that's how Jia Xu explained himself.

After discussing for a while, it was getting late, Ling Han got up to say goodbye.

Because of Jia Xu's reminder, he temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​visiting Xun Yu.

As for when to go again... Anyway, Xun Yu is here, so there is no need to worry.

The next day, Zhuge Liang arrived in Dongjun with the baggage cart.

As soon as they met, he expressed his congratulations to Ling Han: he obviously prepared [-] days' worth of food, but in the end it took half a day to get it down.

Ling Han smiled.

On weekdays, he has long been used to hearing compliments from others, but he can hear the same praise through the ages—even though it was only in his youth, he still couldn't help but pat his head.

Then he cleared his throat and said seriously: "Kong Ming, I have a task right now, and I want you to complete it."

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to send you to the counties of Yanzhou?"

Ling Han smiled and said, "Exactly."

Persuading the counties in Yanzhou to surrender is not an easy task, and it is even a little dangerous.

Of course, its danger is also very small.

Not only did Ling Han not die as rumored, but he easily broke through Dongjun, the capital of Cao Cao.

Dongjun is the most abundant army in Yanzhou, and it didn't even last a day.The rest of the counties want to resist, and there is only one dead end.

Ling Han originally had a very strong reputation, but now it will only become stronger, and he still occupies the name of righteousness.

Instead, Cao Cao was fighting Yuan Shao in Jizhou.The outcome is unknown, the future is uncertain, but his base camp has already fallen.

Any discerning person should know how to choose.

The only ones who refused to surrender were those who pledged their allegiance to Cao Cao.

But such a person is generally not likely to violate the principle of "the two armies are at war, and they will be sent without fighting."

Not to mention that Zhuge Liang still has a three-inch tongue.

So the danger is not great.

Ling Han has already inquired, and there are no members of the Cao family or Xiahou family in the sheriffs of the counties.

He believes that with Zhuge Liang's ability, it should be possible to do it.

Only after taking this credit, Ling Han could justifiably hand over Yanzhou to Zhuge Liang to govern.

As for himself, he still has to return to Yangzhou.

Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "Liang will surely live up to His Highness's trust."

Three days later, the prefects of Chenliu, Taishan, Jiyin, and Shanyang all chose to surrender.

As for who is sincere and who is false, which ones are for loyalty, and which ones are for survival, Ling Han doesn't have time to carefully distinguish, he intends to hand everything over to Zhuge Liang.

He officially appointed Zhuge Liang as the governor of Yanzhou.

at the same time.

Cao Cao, who was fighting Yuan Shao in Jizhou, finally received news from Yanzhou.

Cao Cao slammed the bamboo slips to the ground.

The joy of defeating Yuan Shao in the previous battle suddenly disappeared.

"The king of Changsha is still alive!"

"Not only was he alive, but he also took the opportunity to sneak attack Dongjun."

Those two short sentences immediately shocked the entire camp.

Fortunately, there were no ordinary soldiers in the battalion.Everyone present is Cao Cao's confidant.

The battle is imminent, so he can't let other people know about such a thing that can completely disturb people's hearts, so as not to have other thoughts.

"My lord." Cao Ren said, "Let's stop fighting with Yuan Shao for now, and hurry back to Yanzhou!"

"Yes!" Xia Houyuan also echoed, "The King of Changsha is the common enemy of the lord and Yuan Shao."

"Go back..."

Cao Cao frowned. Once he did this, the soldiers would soon know that Dongjun was captured by King Changsha.

Besides, once the East County is broken, how long can the remaining counties last?

I'm afraid people's hearts will soon disperse.

"Lord."

Sima Yi came out and said, "Yi thinks, not only can my lord not go back at this moment, but he must launch an attack on Yuan Shao immediately."

Cao Cao asked, "What does Zhongda mean by that?"

Sima Yi said: "My lord, right now we are fighting fiercely with Yuan Benchu. If we tell him that the King of Changsha is not dead, Yuan Benchu ​​may not believe him. On that day, the news of the death of the King of Changsha was spread from our place."

"Besides, even if Yuan Benchu ​​is sure that the King of Changsha is not dead, what will he do? The king of Changsha attacked Dongjun, not Yecheng, and Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely stand by and watch. When the lord defeats the King of Changsha and returns to Yanzhou, he will immediately launch an attack on Yanzhou Yuan Shao is sitting on the most fertile land in the world, and if he has the power of the lord, he will not be afraid of the King of Changsha."

"In case the lord fails to defeat King Changsha..."

Sima Yi didn't continue talking, because the consequences were obvious: it would be beyond redemption.

Cao Cao frowned and weighed for a while, then looked at Cheng Yu and said, "What does Zhong De think?"

Cheng Yu clasped his fists and said, "I also agree with Zhong Da's words."

Cao Cao looked up to the north.

At the last moment, he thought that the overall situation had been settled, and that it would be a matter of time before he unified the thirteen states in the world.

Unexpectedly, now he is facing the crisis of life and death again.

Defeat Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said silently in his heart: The current situation is far from the point of admitting defeat.

As long as he can defeat Yuan Shao, the contest between himself and the King of Changsha will last for a long time.
