Shuhan

Chapter 552 Are you worthy of negotiating terms with me?
After Longguan, a camp stands.

This camp was built close to the mountains, and the walls towered into the clouds, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace within the village. The wall is thick and deep, and the bricks and stones are piled closely together, like a fortress, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

And in the main tent of the camp.

Li Yu saw Hao Zhao's soldiers who came to report, with a look of suspicion on his face.

"General Hao really said that?"

Hao Zhao's soldiers nodded immediately.

"An assassin killed the general last night. The general then said this and asked Li Jun's envoy to go to the general's mansion quickly."

Li Yu's eyes flickered and he continued to ask: "Have you found the mastermind behind the assassin?"

Hao Zhao's soldiers immediately shook their heads and said: "Those assassins were all dead soldiers. Two of them were killed on the spot by the general. One of them committed suicide after being captured. The mastermind behind the scenes could not be found. My general also did not find the mastermind behind the scenes to take revenge." the meaning of."

really?

What if they tricked me, lured me to the general's mansion, killed me, and then took control of my soldiers?

In Li Yu's view, this possibility is definitely possible, and it is not small.

Entrust your life to Hao Zhao's character?
joke?

Where do those soldiers and ruffians get their moral character?

"Tell your general for me that this matter is of great importance. I have to inform the guards of Qianhe River Valley before I can make a decision!"

Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s start with the procrastination technique.

As for whether doing so would make Hao Zhao suspect that the assassin was sent by him.

What does he have to fear?
In troubled times, as long as you have soldiers, you have nothing to fear.

What's more, the people standing behind him are the Longxi nobles!

Talk about it.
The assassin was really sent by him, but it was a pity that Hao Zhao was not killed. Otherwise, with Hao Zhao's head on his neck and the achievement of taking Longguan, he, Li Yu, would rise to the top, so there would be no problem at all.

but now.
I just had to take my time.

He wanted to see what the furious Hao Zhao would do!
It was beyond Li Yu's expectation.

Hao Zhao was not angry, and only said that he would invite Xin Xiu to come to discuss important matters, and that after three days, Han envoys would also participate.

At this moment, Li Yu somewhat believed it.

Perhaps, this Hao Zhao is really afraid.

Also!

If you think about it from Hao Zhao's perspective, he would also make this choice.

Too normal.

What is the use of foolish loyalty?

You think about Wei, how can your great Wei think about you?
People!

Be realistic.

Although loyalty is good, it also depends on whether you are loyal or not.

Sometimes if you are loyal, you will not be able to gain fame, but you will die in misfortune.

Why bother?

"Send someone to tell General Hao Zhao that three days later, the Han envoy will arrive and they will discuss important matters in front of the camp behind the pass."

It is one thing to believe in Hao Zhao, but it is another thing to make fun of one's own life.

There is only one life, so Li Yu naturally treasures it!
Longguan General Mansion.

Knowing that Li Yu refused to come to the general's mansion to discuss important matters, Hao Zhao immediately realized what Li Yu was thinking.

"These scholars are so ridiculous!"

Hao Zhao stood in the courtyard of the mansion, with the sunlight dappled through the treetops shining on his resolute and profound face.

The breeze blew gently, but it could not wipe away the sneer on his face.

It seemed like he thought of something again.

A trace of anger flashed across Hao Zhao's face, and his eyebrows were knitted together, like two sharp sword blades.

But his anger does not stem from personal emotions, but from his alertness to the conspiracy that may be hidden behind Li Yu.

perhaps
Those three assassins were really sent by Li Yu.

Call ~
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

As a general, you cannot be swayed by your emotions.

The more critical the moment, the more calm you need to be.

He looked around, his eyes lingering on the faces of each soldier, as if testing their loyalty.

Hao Zhao's voice was rich and powerful, like the echo of a distant mountain: "There must be something fishy behind Li Yu's rejection. At this critical moment, we must not act rashly."

If he really took action against Li Yu, he would undoubtedly have fallen out with the Longxi gentry.

By then, he would not even have the capital to surrender.

I have to worry about my head count all day long.

"I will endure the calm for a while. As for who is assassinating me behind my back, I will have a chance to deal with it after I surrender to the Han Kingdom."

Hao Zhao has studied his opponents.

He knew very well who Emperor Liu Gongsi of the Han Dynasty was. He is talented, capable, and has a strong desire for control.

Under his rule, the status of the gentry was far inferior to that of Wei.

I'm afraid it will be the same in Longxi.

Due to its geographical location, Longxi is naturally isolated from Guanzhong, and there are too many local tyrants from aristocratic families.

The status is much higher than that of the nobles in Yingchuan.

Many imperial decrees will change drastically when they arrive in Longxi.

The authority equivalent to the emperor cannot be used in Longxi.

The nobles of Longxi are more like the local emperors of Longxi.

This began in the late Western Han Dynasty.

By now, it has become more and more intense.

With the temperament of the Emperor of Han, he would never allow this. In other words, after he surrendered to Han, he would have many opportunities to take revenge.

Three days came in a hurry.

After Longguan and before Li Yu's camp, a large tent was set up.

Both sides were guarded by hundreds of elite soldiers.

For those who don’t know, they would have thought that the two armies behind the pass holding Wei banners were two forces!

of course
In fact, there is no difference between them and the two forces.

When you are strong, your vassal can drive for you, but when you are weak, you will not obey.

The relationship between the Longxi gentry and the Wei army that still exists in Longxi is almost the same.

Xin Xiu's face was slightly nervous, but behind him, Li Yu looked very excited.

As for Hao Zhao, his expression was calm.

There were also some noble clan representatives present, all with their own expressions.

Especially the representative of the Peng family in Longxi, because he had completely surrendered to the Wei State. After the defeat of the Wei State, many of his investments were in vain. At this moment, his face was dark, as if his wife had been cheated, and it was extremely ugly.

"The number is almost there, angel, please stop."

The person who came to be the envoy this time was a young man from a martial arts hall.

He was born in Yizhou and came from Chengdu. He came from a humble background and gradually gained important positions.

This time he came here to seek wealth and honor through danger, and to use it in gold plating.

There are many people like him with a low background in the martial arts hall. Under Liu Chan's operation, although there are not yet two thousand stone high-ranking officials among them, there are already many of their shadows at the grassroots level.

It seems to be only a matter of time before a high-ranking official with two thousand stones appears.

"Your Majesty is pleased to bring order to the chaos, and he orally declares:
It is a good thing that you can change your mind and change your plans, and you can surrender from adversity.

I will do my best to meet your needs, but our Han family's laws cannot be abolished.

From now on, I hope that all families will obey the imperial edicts of the Han Dynasty and abide by the rules.

The transfer and removal of officials, the name registration of the people, the household registration of the land, and the reorganization of the military must be controlled by the Han court and cannot be handled privately.

This is the unified order of our Han family and the cornerstone of national stability.

I hope you will abide by it with all your heart, so as to ensure the prosperity of our Han Dynasty. "

After hearing this, Hao Zhao's expression did not change at all, but Xin Xiu, Li Yu and other family representatives' expressions changed dramatically after hearing this.

Land registration, official appointment and dismissal, military control
If all these are given away, what else is there to play with?
Does the Longxi gentry still have its current status?

"Longxi has been hanging outside the Central Plains since ancient times, and the roads are difficult to pass. Can the Tianjia really succeed in doing this?"

The representative of the Peng family in Longxi immediately became angry.

The Han envoy just sneered and immediately took out the edict from his arms.

"Emperor's edict!"

The Han envoy shouted, and Hao Zhao showed no expression on his face and immediately knelt down in front of the Han envoy.

"The general has issued an edict!"

Xin Xiu seemed to have thought of what her niece said before leaving, and knelt down.

"I obey the imperial edict!"

After these two people made a gesture, the others knelt down whether they wanted to or not.

Even if it is the representative of the Peng family in Longxi, the same is true.

"I'm waiting for the order!"

At this time, the Han envoy slowly shouted out:
"Everyone listens to the decree, Your Majesty said:

Do you want to bargain with me? Isn't it overestimating one's own abilities?
I have made up my mind, it is either this or that: one is to bow down and submit to the Han Dynasty; the other is to wait for the Han army to come and conquer in person.

If you are stubborn and stubborn, you will eventually die and your family will be destroyed.

I hope you will understand the righteousness deeply, adapt to the current situation, and avoid unnecessary resistance. "

Translated, it's very simple.

Are you worthy of negotiating terms with me?
What grade?
If you don't surrender, I will kill you until you surrender!

I, Mr. Liu, am so domineering!
