Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, seems to be a good old man, but in fact he is not that simple.
In other words, the overlord who can survive in this troubled world cannot be stupid.
Tao Qian nominally followed the late general Yuan Shu. He once followed Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao, but was killed by Cao Mengde.
The dispatch department's attack on Cao Mengde's father can only be said to have no moral lower limit.
Tao Qian's subordinates are very interesting, they are either yellow turban thieves like Zhang Kai or giant bandits like Zang Ba. Either they are people like Zuo Rong who do all kinds of evil, or they are local sects like Chen Deng and his son.
Of course, local tycoons like Mi Zhu and Sun Qian are also indispensable.
There are all the bandits, Yellow Turban thieves, powerful local families and families. Tao Qian can command them all, how could he be a fool?
Arranging Cao Mengde to attack Tao Qian, Li Yunze made his eyes red and desperate with just one sentence.
"Your father, Duke Cao, died at the hands of Tao Qian."
In ancient times, the hatred for killing one's father was said to be irreconcilable.
Cao Cao could endure the death of his eldest son Cao Ang and accommodated Zhang Xiu.
But he absolutely couldn't bear the thought of his father being killed by Tao Qian, and the Battle of Xuzhou was extremely brutal.
With the money and grain seized from the Chen family, Zhong family and other families in Yingchuan, Cao Cao hurriedly led his troops straight to Chen Liu's hometown, preparing to recruit troops and then attack Xuzhou.
Li Yunze arranged for Jia Xu to accompany him as the de facto supervisor of the army.
On the way back to Luoyang City, he looked at Xun's uncle and nephew who were passing by and asked, "If you don't want to follow Cao Cao, why should you follow me?"
"It is not difficult for Cao Mengde to defeat Xuzhou." Xun Yu said with a smile, "I recommended my friend Xi Zhicai to join the army."
Xun You over there also followed suit and said, "A certain person also recommended his friend Guo Fengxiao."
Fortunately for Xi Zhicai, Li Yunze's eyelids jumped when he heard Guo Fengxiao's name, "Guo Jia was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan."
"The Guo family has disbanded the family's land distribution and tenant farming after someone's persuasion." Xun Yu knew what Li Yunze meant and simply explained, "The Guo family has a small business. After seeing the fate of the Chen family, the Zhong family and other clans, they naturally know how to do things. "
The Guo family can barely be considered an aristocratic family, but it is the smallest one.
If it weren't for Guo Jia, the novel wouldn't even bother to mention them.
There is only Yingchuan County, and there are more than ten aristocratic families of various sizes, as well as many local powerful people.
Expanding to the entire Han Dynasty, basically all places have been divided up by these large and small families, either becoming the boss themselves, or investing in warlords.
The so-called big man has long existed in name only.
Li Yunze knew very clearly what the big man looked like at this moment, so he rode forward without saying anything.
It's just a noble family, and they can all be killed.
The fertile Hedong was originally the famous granary of the Han Dynasty.
The land is fertile and water conservancy facilities are complete, and countless people have cultivated this land for generations.
Until the Han Dynasty moved the Huns here.
As the big man lost his intimidating power, the Huns immediately tore off their sheepskins and turned into wolves to bite the local people crazily.
Under the butcher's knife, countless people in Hedong died tragically under the hooves of horses.
Originally, the Huns were preparing to sweep across Hedong and Hanoi, but for some reason, starting from last year, Xiliang's powerful army suddenly came over and killed the Huns indiscriminately.
At this time, it was not the time for Zhu Hu to go south. The Southern Xiongnu in the east of Hedong could not defeat the Xiliang army and were driven around.
Fortunately, the Xiliang army finally retreated, allowing the Huns to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just a few days after the good days, another Han army came, not only chasing the Huns everywhere, but also specifically chasing and killing Youxian King Liu Bao.
Liu Bao, who was chased anxiously, gathered his herdsmen to fight the Han army on the fertile soil.
At this time, the Zhuhus had not yet captured countless craftsmen to work for them, and there was a generational gap between them and the Han army in terms of weapons and armor.
While the Han army was using iron arrowheads, the Huns were still using bone arrows.
This generational difference in weapons and equipment is the root cause of one Han becoming five barbarians.
The Han army was armed to the teeth, with helmets, iron armor, leggings, spears, bows, crossbows, swords, and shields. The herdsmen only had bone arrows and the like, so of course they couldn't defeat them.
After a great battle, the numerically superior Xiongnu were defeated miserably, and Liu Bao had to flee again.
But this time, I was unlucky. I was overtaken by a red-faced man, leading a group of cavalry in pursuit like crazy.
The panic-stricken Liu Bao kept sending the warriors around him back to stop him, but the red-faced man was so tyrannical that he seemed to be inhuman. No matter how brave a warrior he was in the clan, he was chopped into pieces with just one blow of his sword.
Liu Bao couldn't understand even though he was bald. He clearly didn't know these guys, so why did he press them so hard?
Liu Bao, who had no followers around him, was still driving his horse to escape with inertia, but the horse was already foaming at the mouth and starting to sweat. When it could no longer carry it, it staggered and fell to the ground.
Liu Bao, who was shaken by the fall, got up from the ground with difficulty.
Shaking his braided head, he listened to the sound of horse hooves getting closer. He tried hard to draw his sword, but when he raised his head, he saw the red-faced man approaching with his sword high and patting the horse.
'Dead! '
Guan Yu, who arrived on horseback, was about to kill this man with his sword.
But Li Yunze's special attention to this person suddenly came to his mind. Before dropping the knife, he flipped his wrist and replaced the blade with the back.
Liu Bao was knocked unconscious.
Guan Yu, who was turning around on horseback, raised his hand and stroked his long beard and told the white horse Yi Cong who was following him, "Tie him up and send him to Luoyang City."
With the 10,000 gold given by Li Yunze, the 2,000 gold earned by the two brothers from performing arts, and the 300 white horse followers sponsored by his classmate Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, who finally had his first pot of gold, pulled out a full-sized army. An army of five to six thousand men and horses came.
After capturing Liu Bao, Liu Bei did not hesitate and led his troops southward to Luoyang City.
When they met Bingzhou soldiers patrolling outside the city, they almost got into a fight.
Fortunately, Wei Xu, who was leading the team, had a sharp eye. When he saw the red-faced man opposite him holding a knife in one hand and stroking his beard with the other, squinting at his neck, he was a strong man who had killed Hua Xiong. Moreover, the three brothers over there even Even Lu Bu was beaten away.
Therefore, Wei Xu, who felt a chill on the back of his neck, was very easy to talk to and simply pointed out that at this time, the Bingzhou soldiers were following Li Xianchang to earn a living, and everyone was on their own, so don't be impulsive.
After that, he diligently led the way and led everyone into Luoyang City.
All the way to Tianyi Tower, I saw Lu Bu who was coming out to mount his horse.
This is really a meeting between enemies, making them extremely jealous.
Lu Bu always regarded it as a great shame and humiliation for the three brothers to surround him, and he wished he could rush over to fight them immediately.
only
He glanced sideways at the building next to him, but he could only snort coldly, turn Chitu Ma around and leave to do some work.
Guan Yu looked at the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch and was very envious.
If this horse was his own, there would be no need to chase Liu Bao hundreds of miles away.
Liu Bei got off his horse, straightened his clothes and entered the Tianyi Tower.
As soon as they entered, they saw Zhao Yun on duty. The two had met before under Gongsun Zan. They greeted each other with a smile and then Zhao Yun went to report.
After a short while, Li Yunze, still holding a chess piece in his hand, strode out.
Following him were Xun's uncle and nephew.
Both uncle and nephew knew things very well. They knew that in the current environment, following others was nonsense. Only by following Li Yunze could they succeed.
"Caught Liu Bao?"
When he learned that Liu Bao had been captured alive, Li Yunze didn't even play chess, he lifted the chess board and hurried over.
Xun You, who was playing chess, was not angry. Anyway, he was still troubled by how he lost without leaving any trace. This solved the trouble.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Liu Bei was also looking forward to it and wanted to exchange Liu Bao for more good things from Li Yunze.
Zhang Fei brought the tied Liu Bao in and put him on the ground.
Looking at Liu Bao with yellow teeth, bald head and pigtails, and a ferocious face in front of him, Li Yunze was furious.
With such a thing, someone actually uses him as the protagonist to write a love story? I really thought Cai Wenji was the next daughter.
Li Yunze let out a long breath.
Under the gaze of everyone, he stepped forward and stepped directly between Liu Bao's legs.
With a crisp cracking sound, the chicken and eggs were beaten.
Liu Bao's eyes rolled to the top of his head, and he let out a sharp scream that didn't sound like a human voice. Then he twitched in pain and passed out.
"Send him to the palace." Li Yunze summoned Dian Wei, "Tell the chamberlain that after cutting it clean, all his hands and feet will be disabled. No matter how easy it is to arrange his 'good life', he must not be killed, and his life must be made worse than death."
"Here."
Dian Wei stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Bao like a chicken, and strode out.
The palace is the cruelest place in the world.
If you have no power, no money, no one, you are being bullied.
Moreover, its methods and tricks are truly chilling.
Not to mention Li Yunze's special instructions, even if he didn't, someone with Liu Bao's status was always at the bottom of the palace and was bullied.
His future days will surely be very exciting.
Eating pig food, being humiliated, mentally and physically tortured.
In this way, Li Yunze finally felt comfortable.
Looking at Liu Bei standing aside, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle Liu Huang, well done."
Liu Bei hurriedly saluted, "Eradicate all the rebels, this is what you should do."
Li Yunze smiled, turned around and told Xun Yu, "Go to the palace to see the emperor. It means that tomorrow there will be relatives of the Liu family. After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande will enter the palace to meet the emperor."
"Here."
When Liu Bei heard this, his hands almost trembled with excitement.
He is indeed a relative of the emperor, but the emperor's relatives of the Han Dynasty are too arrogant.
Moreover, he was a relative of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. To be honest, it was nothing in this era.
But if it is recognized by the emperor, it will immediately be different.
What's this? This is justice!
A Hun Hu'er can earn such a righteous status, which is really a lot of money.
Li Yunze has more benefits here. "I will give you 10,000 gold and 50,000 pieces of silk to settle down the troops and have a good rest. Xun You, take them to the warehouse to get their things."
"Here."
Instructing Liu Bei to sit down and talk, Li Yunze told him, "Let's repair the area around Luoyang City for a while, and then your troops will continue to send troops."
Liu Bei raised his hand and asked, "May I ask the Imperial Master, where are you going?"
"Enter Shu!"
