The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 111 Guo Jia, when will you return the wine money you owe me?
Liu Yu was overjoyed to accept Zhuge Liang who was only three years old as his fourth adoptive son, and held a feast at King Wu's Mansion to celebrate that day.

Liu Yu adopted his adopted son again, and the news of the banquet was not publicized.

However, to this day, with Liu Yu's status and degree of attention.

Although not to much fanfare.

Just released some news and got known by some people, but it still caused a sensation in the whole Luoyang City at a very high speed.

Regardless of whether they received Liu Yu's invitation or not, the aristocratic families and officials who did not receive Liu Yu's invitation came to congratulate with gifts.

There was an endless stream of visiting and congratulating guests.

In front of Prince Wu's Mansion, a red carpet was laid on the floor, and everyone was beaming with joy.

More than a dozen members of the shark guards, who looked like brown bears, welcomed them with giant knives and maintained order.

The servant of Prince Wu's Mansion stood in front of the mansion gate, holding the list of congratulatory gifts from the visiting guests, and sang loudly:
"The royal family of Luoyang, send a piece of jade and ten strings of jewelry, congratulations to King Wu for adopting his adopted son."

"The Muyang family of Sizhou prefecture sent a hundred pieces of silk, five hundred gold, and thirty thousand coins... Congratulations to King Wu for accepting his adopted son."

"Luoyang ordered the Zhou family to send..."

"The Imperial Physician orders Imperial Physician Zhang to send..."

……

The high-pitched and excited voice of Ding Wuwang's mansion resounded.

The list of congratulatory gifts received made the crowd of onlookers crowded in front of the mansion so excited that they were speechless.

But it is amazing how many people give gifts and how precious the gifts are.

"Wu Wang has accepted the first few adoptive sons, right?"

"Isn't it? However, King Wu is also twenty one this year, so he should have an heir. When I was twenty one, I had three sons in my arms, and the oldest cub was seven or eight years old."

"I heard that there is a reason for King Wu's adoptive son. I heard from people in King Wu's mansion. It seems that King Wu once had a dream. He wanted to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty. He needed the help of the Thirteen Taibao, and this Taibao , is the meaning of foster son, so King Wu is collecting children with extraordinary intelligence and performance from all over the world to adopt as foster sons, intending to train them into capable subordinates, and expand the territory for my great man!"

"There is such a saying, no wonder King Wu has taken in several adoptive sons, and the Thirteen Taibao, don't they still have many places?"

"Let me see, in addition to having a hobby of beauties in the future, King Wu will also have a reputation for liking adoptive sons."

……

In front of Prince Wu's Mansion, a large number of onlookers and people were discussing and discussing, the atmosphere was warm, but there was kindness in their words.

And this warm atmosphere was pushed to the peak when the emperor Liu Hong's favored minister Tong Guan came to congratulate with the emperor's gift.

At the end of the banquet, a large number of guests dispersed, and the warm atmosphere gradually cooled down.

The Imperial Physician Ling Zhang Miao stayed at the end.

Seeing this, Liu Yu immediately understood that Zhang Miao was probably looking for him for something.

Liu Yu asked Zhang Miao to be led to the study.

Inside the study.

As soon as Zhang Miao opened her mouth, she gave Liu Yu a counterattack.

"My lord, the Son of Heaven may not live long."

Zhang Miao looked serious, and bowed to Liu Yu.

"Huh? The Son of Heaven won't live long?" Liu Yu was taken aback when he heard Zhang Miao's words suddenly, and looked at Zhang Miao in confusion.

Zhang Miao didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said:
"Returning to my lord, it is like this. Recently, the emperor is often weak and unwell. Miao treated the emperor, but found that there are bad nodules in the lungs of the emperor."

"There are bad nodules in the lungs, which is a terrible terminal illness. According to the examples I have seen, anyone who has such bad nodules is hopeless. As for how long they can live, the short ones are even mathematically dead, and the long ones can even live for ten years. More than that, I'm not sure."

"Based on the deterioration of His Majesty's health, Miao infers that His Majesty should still live for a few more years, but there is no guarantee of sudden sudden death."

Zhang Miao's face was serious, and he bowed his hands to Liu Yu, but he said a news that was enough to shake the court.

Liu Hong is terminally ill, and there are bad nodules in the lungs and viscera in his body. He can live for a few years at most, and may even die suddenly within a few months?

Liu Yu frowned when he heard the words. Based on Zhang Miao's description of Liu Hong's illness, Liu Yu immediately figured out what kind of illness Zhang Miao was talking about.

cancer!
Yes, it is cancer.

Although the term cancer did not exist in ancient times, the disease did exist.

Liu Hong is suffering from cancer, and has it affected his body?
I'm afraid it's entering the middle and late stages?

"Can you treat it?" Liu Yu couldn't help asking Zhang Miao.

Hearing this, Zhang Miao shook her head with a wry smile, saying:
"Back to the lord, although Miao's medical skills are extraordinary, better than ordinary doctors, but not all diseases can be cured. This disease, Miao is helpless."

Zhang Miao shook her head.

Liu Yu nodded.

Cancer is not so easy to treat in the future with such advanced technological conditions. Zhang Miao obviously cannot achieve the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

"Okay, this king knows about this, you can go back."

"No, my lord, Miao will leave."

Zhang Miao left.

Liu Yu looked at Zhang Miao's back and narrowed his eyes slightly.

in history.

As for the cause of Han Lingdi's death, the history books describe it very briefly, and it can be summed up in only two words: Jiabeng.

It was not stated that he died of illness, nor did he say that he died because of excessive indulgence and lack of treatment.

Originally, Liu Yu thought that because Liu Hong became an eunuch and could no longer indulge in sex, he would live healthier for a few more years, but looking at it now, it is obvious that Liu Hong may not only die of excessive sex, but may also died of cancer.

Liu Yu is no stranger to the word cancer. In fact, in later generations, many elderly people in a village may die of cancer.

This is because everyone has cancer cells, and the older a person is, the greater the risk of cancer.

Liu Hongneng died because of this, but Liu Yu was not so surprised.

"If that's the case, the world will be in chaos soon, and we need to speed up the pace of power accumulation, and quickly digest the grasslands we just surrendered. Hetao Plain, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places also need to build a large army and hoard weapons and equipment."

Suddenly knowing that Liu Hong's life expectancy is not long, Liu Yu felt a sense of urgency.

Once Liu Hong dies, there must be many ambitious people in the world. At that time, Liu Yu hoped that he would already be aloof and have the power to shock the whole big man and protect his family and children.

……

In a blink of an eye, Liu Yu had returned to Luoyang City for five days.

For five days, Liu Yu closed the house and did not intend to send out an army to attack the Yellow Turbans. The pressure was placed on Yuan's side in an instant.

A large number of Luoyang aristocratic families and officials turned around in a hurry.

Liu Yu didn't send out an army, so it didn't have much influence on Liu Yu.

However, it has a great influence on the family and officials.

You must know that the Yellow Turbans are raging all over the place, capturing the aristocratic Ubud, and breaking the government. This is more or less a direct or indirect conflict of interest with them.

At the imperial court, urgent reports from officials from various states and counties asking for help also came like snowflakes.

But it was heard that Liu Yu pacified the grassland and led his troops back to the court after making great achievements.

They all hope that Liu Yu can send troops to rescue them.

General He Jin and Tong Guan represented by Liu Hong also approached Liu Yu many times.

However, Liu Yu was not in a hurry, and directly said that if he followed his plan, he would get twice the result with half the effort, and it would be of great help to pacify the Yellow Turbans in the world. This battle needs to be decided before moving. Grain, hoes.

He Jin and Liu Hong also felt that what Liu Yu said was correct.

The overwhelming pressure came to Yuan's side.

Finally, on the sixth day, Yuan Feng couldn't bear the pressure anymore.

Palace, inside the main hall.

Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair, with Tong Guan standing beside him.

"Yuan Qing, what's the matter?" Liu Hong asked impatiently.

Yuan Feng's complexion was not good.

However, facing the urgent Liu Hong, Yuan Feng did not neglect, and cupped his hands and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, in order to calm the Yellow Turbans in the world, the old minister has been cheeky these days and contacted the big families. Finally, his busy work was not in vain, and it has achieved some results. However, it has not reached the 150 million shi grains and 30 hoes that King Wu asked for. Raise 90 shi of grain and 25 hoes."

Yuan Feng's voice was low, and he seemed very angry, gnashing his teeth.

A total of 90 shi grains and 25 hoes.

What is this concept?
According to the needs of ordinary people for one stone, one to two months.

Then the 90 shi of grain can support 30 troops for several months.

If the Yuan family took it out, I am afraid that even if the Yuan family was taken out, they would not be able to provide so much food.

Fortunately, the big Han family took it out together.

However, Yuan Shi can be regarded as a villain.

"It's only 90 shi of grain, and there are only 25 hoes." Liu Hong almost made Yuan Feng vomit blood. Is 90 shi of grain too little?

Liu Hong really doesn't have a big idea of ​​the grain of 90 shi. Compared with the 150 million shi of grain that Liu Yu wants, it is one-third short.

"Your Majesty, 90 shi is a lot of food. This old minister has the cheek to collect it from the big families. They are secretly scolding the Yuan family. If King Wu is not satisfied, then the old minister has nothing to do."

Yuan Feng's performance was bad, but his whole body was trembling with anger, and he wanted to put down the pick.

Liu Hong frowned and said:

"Yuan Qing has worked hard, since the Yuan family has done their best, Tong Guan, hurry up and invite King Wu into the palace!"

"No!" Tong Guan glanced at Yuan Feng, and hurriedly went to pass the message to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu came very quickly.

"King Wu, cough cough... Sikong has collected 90 shi of grain and 25 hoes from the family, cough cough... I have tried my best, I wonder if it is enough to deal with the Yellow Turban?"

Liu Hong looked a little pale, coughing and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yuwen laughed immediately after hearing Liu Hong's words, without the slightest hesitation, he simply handed over to Yuan Feng, smiled gratefully and said:

"90 stones of grain and 25 hoes are enough, completely enough. This king would like to thank Yuan Sikong for his kindness. The Yellow Turbans in the world will definitely be grateful to Yuan Sikong for his kindness, so that this king can send troops to the Yellow Turbans."

Liu Yu was unexpectedly straightforward, without any haggling, and directly agreed, which stunned everyone.

On the other hand, Yuan Feng reacted quickly, his face flushed instantly.

At this moment, Yuan Feng didn't understand why, no matter how much he reported today, Liu Yu would probably accept it.

Thinking of Yuan being a villain, and raising 90 shi of grain and 25 hoes for Liu Yu, Yuan Feng's chest heaved violently, he was about to vomit blood, his eyes were red, and he stared at Liu Yu. Yu, burning with anger, said:
"King Wu, the Yuan family has collected food and hoes for you, but if the yellow scarves cannot be flattened, I, the Yuan family, will definitely bring the world's aristocratic families to join you."

"In this case, Yuan Sikong will not be bothered to worry too much. This king has put down the Yellow Turban, and Sikong will wait and see."

In the face of Yuan Feng's anger, he said harsh words out of anger, but Liu Yu replied with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Liu Yu did not neglect, and immediately bowed to Liu Hong, saying:

"Your Majesty, the food and hoes are in place, and the final general will invite the Yellow Turban!"

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Hong was shocked, with joy on his face, and said:

"Okay, when King Wu goes to battle, the Yellow Turbans will be in a panic. I ordered King Wu to be the Generalissimo of the whole country, to command all the troops, to be the master, and to suppress the Yellow Turbans!"

It seems that he believes in Commander Liu Yu, but Liu Hong is willing to delegate power. The Generalissimo of the whole country commands all the troops and has full power to call the shots!

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Hong, whose face was already pale, his eyes flickered slightly, and without hesitation, he cupped his hands and said:

"No! We will destroy the Yellow Turban for His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, since King Wu has taken over the task of pacifying the Yellow Turban, the old minister will leave!" Yuan Feng snorted coldly at Liu Yu and resigned.

"Your Majesty, the last general is also resigning. The whole army has assembled and will leave tomorrow." Liu Yu also cupped his hands to Liu Hong.

"Since that's the case, King Wu should go back and prepare to send troops. I won't keep King Wu." Liu Hong said with a smile.

Liu Yu bowed his hands and left.

Liu Yu and Yuan Feng both left.

Only Tong Guan and Liu Hong were left in the hall.

However, what made Tong Guan frowned slightly was.

But Liu Hong looked at the door where Liu Yu was leaving, did not move, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and suddenly said:

"King Wu entered the palace without a sword."

"Huh?" Tong Guan was taken aback, then smiled flatteringly:

"Returning to Your Majesty, although His Majesty gave King Wu the right to "not enter the court, not be famous in worship, and wear the sword on the palace", but King Wu did not act presumptuously. He still kept his sword outside the palace and was very loyal to His Majesty."

"Well, I hope so." Liu Hong said indifferently, and then asked: "How about Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yao recruiting the army?"

Seeing that Liu Hong's attitude changed so much in an instant, Tong Guan frowned slightly.

However, Tong Guan didn't show anything, and hurriedly said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yao, the three state shepherds, have already obtained the support of the aristocratic families in the state, and are currently recruiting heavily."

"Okay, Huang Zhong is loyal and straightforward, and Jian Shuo is loyal. They are people I can trust. Promote Huang Zhong to the Weiwei, and Jian Shuo to the Northern Army Zhonghou, and let the two confidantes go to Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou. Recruit [-] troops and train them to defend Luoyang."

Liu Hong said in a deep voice, the words reached Tong Guan's ears, but Tong Guan was shocked and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Tong Guan was not shocked by Liu Hong's sudden intention to recruit [-] troops.

It was the information revealed by Liu Hong's tone and what Liu Hong said.

Huang Zhong is honest and straightforward, and Jian Shuo is loyal, are they people he can trust with Liu Hong?

The confidantes of each faction recruited [-] troops to guard Luoyang?

Liu Hong's attitude changed like this before and after,

This means that Liu Yu is not the person Liu Hong trusts the most?

Yes, Liu Hong's heart is not at peace at this time.

Looking at Liu Yu's disappearing back, Liu Hong intuitively told him that Liu Yu was not as loyal and surrendered to Liu Hong as he appeared on the surface.

Perhaps he, Liu Hong, was thinking too much.

However, Liu Yu's merits are too high, and coupled with his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he is definitely not a small threat.

Although Liu Yu only showed that he likes beauty, he just likes fighting.

But it is also difficult to make Liu Hong completely believe in Liu Yu and trust Liu Yu.

but.

He, Liu Hong, needs Liu Yu.

The tribes in the grassland need Liu Yu to be there, and only when they are suppressed will they surrender.

Now that Liu Yu has made great achievements, the next Yellow Turban Rebellion also needs to be counted on Liu Yu to smooth it out.

Even the western world described by Liu Yu needs Liu Yu to implement it.

He, Liu Hong, also wanted Liu Yuzhen to lead the soldiers of the great man to invade the Guishuang Empire, and to make Liu Hong his name and leave a legacy in history.

and so.

Although Liu Hong still doesn't trust Liu Yu in his heart, Liu Hong still wants to use Liu Yu, and he will reuse him.

Of course, he, Liu Hong, must still have the power to truly be loyal to himself.

Huang Zhong is honest and straightforward. He has observed for a long time and can use it.

Jian Shuo is loyal and still an eunuch, so there is no need to question it.

These two people are his own forces that Liu Hong will support next.

"Your Majesty, in this way, the imperial court will need to support an army of [-]. Do you want to check with Da Sinong to see if there is enough food and grass?" Tong Guan asked cautiously.

But Tong Guan suddenly felt the majesty and unfathomable power of the Son of Heaven, so he became cautious.

"No, the state pastoral system has been released. All the salaries of the 20 county soldiers in the country have been given to the state pastoralists. There is no need for the imperial court to support them. The imperial court only supports tens of thousands of elite troops. No problem, just let Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo do it. "Liu Hong said directly.

"No!" Tong Guan's eyes flickered slightly, and he cupped his hands.

……

Outside the city of Luoyang, stretches of military camps.

Liu Yu soon received the news from Tong Guan.

It was after he left the palace that Liu Hong's attitude changed, every word he said, and the appointment of Huang Zhong and Jian Shuo to form an army.

within the tent.

A sneer flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

Although Liu Hong is deserted.

But in the body of an emperor, it is true that the heart of an emperor is deep, and his emotions and anger are invisible.

If he didn't listen to Jia Xu's advice, let go of the three clans and secretly control the grassland, he might really be in trouble now.

"It seems that Huang Zhong's move arrangement is really useful later on."

A smile suddenly appeared on Liu Yu's face.

within the tent.

Soon, Luo Cheng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren and other generals gathered, but they were all excited and excited.

Liu Yu is gathering generals at this time, it is undoubtedly an expedition.

Sure enough, Liu Yu's passionate voice resounded.

"The Yellow Turban uprising attacked the country of the Han Dynasty. As the generals of the Han Dynasty, we naturally want to strengthen the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty has appointed me as the commander-in-chief. He has full power to command the soldiers and horses of the world to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans."

"Where are Luo Cheng and Guan Yu?"

Luo Cheng and Guan Yu shook their bodies together, and hurriedly stood up with cupped hands, saying, "The last general is here!"

"With Luo as the general and Guan Yu as the deputy general, he will lead [-] Beifu cavalry and [-] Beiwei cavalry, a total of [-] fine cavalry, to attack Zhang Jiao, the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban." Liu Yu's majestic voice resounded.

"No!" Luo Cheng and Guan Yu clasped their hands together.

"The rest of the generals prepare their troops and go south with me to Yingchuan and Nanyang to annihilate Bocai and Zhang Mancheng. The whole army will go out tomorrow." Liu Yu said loudly with a stern face.

"Promise!" The rest of the generals heard the words and agreed.

Bing is expensive and fast, and the cavalry under Liu Yu's command is already ready to go.

Early the next morning.

Liu Hong, along with civil and military officials, and Luoyang crowds of onlookers saw him off.

Ten thousand Beifu Army cavalry and four thousand Beiwei Army cavalry rushed towards Hulao Pass.

After leaving Hulao Pass.

[-] Beifu cavalry and [-] Beiwei cavalry, a total of [-] cavalry were divided into two.

Luo Cheng and Guan Yu led five thousand cavalry northward to Jizhou.

Liu Yu led the remaining [-] cavalry and headed south to Yingchuan and Nanyang.

With Liu Yu's return to Dahan, the news on the grassland also swept through the whole Dahan.

The 60 prairie cavalry were crushed by Liu Yu, and all the tribes in the prairie surrendered, expressing their surrender to the big man like never before.

Hearing such an astonishing record shocked the common people, aristocratic families, and even the turbulent Yellow Turban.

And when Liu Yu was made king of Wu, he led the army to counter the rebellion and the news of the Yellow Turban swept the world.

All the people and families in the world were excited and cheered.

On the contrary.

The Yellow Turban Army with high morale and broken states and counties heard that Liu Yu was the commander and would attack them, and they were in an uproar and panic.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

To this day, with the victories of wars, until this time, Liu Yu defeated the terrifying 60 prairie cavalry, and his record has already become a god, and it is no exaggeration to be the God of War in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu personally commanded the soldiers, and the commanders of the Yellow Turbans from all sides trembled and panicked when they heard about it.

……

And just when the world was in an uproar, Liu Yu led [-] cavalry into the territory of Yingchuan.

Liu Yu asked Zhang Ren to lead the cavalry to go slowly to Changshe.

But he brought Dianwei, Yuhuatian and a group of personal guards to Yangzhai City, the seat of Yingchuan County, and invited him to come.

Yes, just please.

Liu Yu didn't have much doubt about whether he could break through the Yellow Turban.

However, taking advantage of this time to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in the world and embrace a wave of talents is also the key point.

And Yangdi City, the seat of Yingchuan County, is full of great talents from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. If he can take away some of them, then his background will be much stronger.

Liu Yu and his party of dozens of cavalry entered Yangdi City smoothly.

Yangzhai City, as the seat of Yingchuan, is close to Luoyang, and it is still very prosperous, with a lot of traffic and a constant stream.

The person in charge of the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce in Yangdi City is a middle-aged man with a goatee, named Zhou Zheng, who hastily met Liu Yu.

Liu Yu didn't hesitate, according to Yuhuatian's information, and under Zhou Zheng's guidance, he went straight to Yingchuan College.

Yingchuan College, the University of the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty are all located in it.

Yingchuan College is located in the west part of Yangzhai City. The building is not impressive, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has an elegant environment.

As the ground trembled, the academy was disturbed.

Many students in front of the gate of Yingchuan College looked at dozens of cavalry men in amazement.

"My lord, the people you let the chamber of commerce take care of are those two!"

As soon as he arrived in front of Yingchuan College, Zhou Zheng, the person in charge of Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce beside Liu Yu, pointed at two people, one big and one small, in front of the college.

Liu Yu looked around, but saw a frail young man, and the other was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old thin boy, who was looking at himself and his party in surprise.

In an instant, Liu Yu's eyes burst into light, and a smile appeared on his face, but then he shouted loudly:
"Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, when will you pay back the wine money you owe me?"

Liu Yu's voice suddenly exploded, and in front of the gate of Yingchuan College, Guo Jia, who was looking at a group of murderous and quite elite young cavalrymen with dozens of cavalry, trembled suddenly.

The next moment, the young Guo Jia's small face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "This is a bad thing, this is the door to pay."
