I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 379 Entering the Mansion
Xun You had already made progress in Bajun. At this time in Youzhou, Liu Yucai received Liu Bian's edict.

To be fair, Liu Yu was somewhat puzzled by the emperor's intention to further reduce the Xianbei people's war potential. In his opinion, the Xianbei tribe outside the Great Wall was already in chaos, especially after he started trade with Kebi Neng. The relationship between Kebi Neng and the Xianbei tribe led by Suli, Mika and others continued to deteriorate. Now Han All you have to do is sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Even if you want to intervene, it will have to be when someone who can unify Xianbei appears. There is no need to go deep into it now.

It is a pity that in Liu Yu's view, the emperor did not give him a chance to object this time, because what will come after the edict will be the emperor's absolute confidant Guan Yu and his old official Zhao Yun.

Liu Yu's ideas are mature and prudent, but his confidants have different opinions.

In addition to Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou, Yan Rou was among the people Liu Yu often summoned to ask for advice.

The latter returned from Xianbei, and because of his talent and understanding of Xianbei Wuhuan, he was quickly put into Liu Yu's employ and became an official.

And Yan Rou cherished this official position very much. After all, Liu Yu himself was highly respected and trusted by two generations of emperors. Being his subordinate was a high starting point.

"General, I have been in contact with Kirby Neng before. I knew it would work for Tan Shihuai's ambition. Today, since we are determined to quell the chaos, General might as well take advantage of the situation!" This is not the first time that Yan Rou has sold Kirby Neng. , as early as the first time he met Liu Yu, he told Liu Yu Kebineng's wolf ambition, and cleared up the suspicion of him making peace with Xianbei.

Although Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou both saw Liu Yu's reluctance, they also persuaded Liu Yu to act according to Yan Rou's orders.

One is that the emperor's edict has arrived, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are on the way, and the other is... dealing with Xianbei often means military merit.

Who in the Han family doesn’t want military glory?

Liu Yu had been guarding Youzhou for many years, and he was just missing an opportunity to make further progress.

And military merit is the best key.

As Liu Yu's subordinates, if Liu Yu doesn't make progress, how can they make progress?

Under the persuasion of several close officials, Liu Yu finally agreed to follow the imperial edict and take the initiative to attack Xianbei.

Just after responding, Liu Yu still couldn't help but sigh and said: "If the war starts again this time, I don't know how many casualties there will be. In our opinion, it may just be recorded one by one on the roster, but for his family, there are many casualties." It’s because we have lost our backbone…”

"When planning for the future, you must pay more attention to the people."

Although these were Liu Yu's words, they were in awe when they heard them.

……

Although you are in a high position, you still consider the safety of the people. This is the behavior of a gentleman!

Thanks to Liu Yu's measures to develop Youzhou in recent years, Youzhou's overall treasury is abundant. Before Guan Yu and Zhao Yun arrived, Liu Yu had already made preparations in compliance with the imperial edict. But Youzhou has a weak foundation after all. Even if Liu Yu has been attaching great importance to agriculture since he took office, the price of food has now dropped to sixty or seventy yuan per stone. But if he really wants to go out to fight, he will still need the help of food and grass from the two states of Qinghai and Hebei.

Just after the autumn plowing, the state officials and county officials who had already received the order immediately recruited more state and county soldiers and civilians.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had already arrived in Youzhou. Before taking office, they happened to stop by to visit Liu Yu.

At that time, Lu Bu from Shanggu County next door was also summoned by Liu Yu to meet him. Although Ding Yuan, the governor of Beiping on the right, did not arrive, he sent Tian Chou, who was loved by both him and Liu Yu, to plan the strategy against Xianbei.

"General, the governor of the outer gate of the mansion and Captain Lu are going to fight!"

Liu Yu, who was waiting for someone to visit him, was shocked when he heard Qi Zhou's words, and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

Qi Zhou said: "I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the two of them happened to be in front of the mansion. Neither of them wanted to give in. They just stood there."

"Don't they know the meaning of humility? The world is getting worse!" Liu Yu complained helplessly and had to get up and leave the house quickly. He knew in his heart that Lu Bu had always been arrogant, and as the emperor's confidant, the new Guan Yu didn't sound very good-tempered.

If today's matter is not handled well, there will be a gap between the two counties of Yuyang Shanggu in the future, which may not be conducive to the overall plan.

Qi Zhou quickly followed Liu Yu.

Guan Yu and Lu Bu were both on horseback, refusing to give in to each other. Although they did not reveal their weapons, they both held swords in their hands.

Guan Yu has been an official in the court in recent years. On the surface, his behavior has become much smoother, but his nature is hard to change... If Lu Bu is polite and humble, he will not be unable to give in. But now Lu Bu was acting aggressively. Guan Yu didn't know who ordered Lu Bu to do this, but it was impossible to give in.

Zhao Yun could see clearly next to Guan Yu that Lu Bu was the captain of a county, so how could he have the confidence to stir up trouble? If you give in today, your dignity will be lost.

However, he had been conquered by Liu Yu, and he believed that Liu Yu's virtue would not lead him to do what he did, so he patiently persuaded Guan Yu to wait for Liu Yu to come.

Beside Lu Bu, Tian Chou, who arrived early to witness all this happening, had a headache.

He had known that his adopted son's temperament was hard to describe, but he didn't expect him to be so indecisive.

Coming here on behalf of Ding Yuan, he didn't know why. Lu Bu's move was purely because he felt that Guan Yu was younger than him but in a high position. He thought that Guan Yu was a lucky person and was dissatisfied, so he got into trouble.

As for strategies and secret tricks, what are they to Lu Bu?
There is simply none.

Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Tian Chou once again stood next to Lu Bu and whispered: "Captain, can I lend you a step to speak?"

"No time!" Lu Bu still stared at Guan Yu and gave the same answer as before.

Tian Chou emphasized again: "Even if the captain does not consider his own future, he should think more about the prince... If this matter becomes a big deal, is it the captain who is at fault after all?"

When he heard the word "future", Lu Bu's clever IQ finally took over the high ground.

But at this time, he was already riding a tiger and could not get off. How could he give in for no reason under the watchful eyes of everyone?
Lu Bu said harshly: "It is for the sake of my adoptive father that I cannot give in. Otherwise, when we send troops outside the wall in the future, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy?"

While they were talking, Xian Yufu and Yan Rou had already arrived first. Seeing Guan Yu and Lu Bu facing each other at the door, they stepped forward to understand the situation with a headache.

Facing the two of them, Lu Bu became even harsher.

Not long after, someone suddenly shouted: "The general is here!"

When Liu Yu appeared, even Guan Yu could not sit still on his horse. Zhao Yun dismounted first and paid homage to Liu Yu.

After Liu Yu returned the greetings to everyone, he stepped forward to help Zhao Yun up and praised: "I haven't seen you for several years, Zilong is still as handsome as ever!"

Then he looked at Guan Yu and Lu Bu, pretending to be confused and asked: "Since you are here, why don't you enter the mansion? Could it be that there is a precious land in front of my mansion?"

"Zilong has been here for many years. I wonder if he still remembers the way to the house?"

Zhao Yun reacted quickly and immediately said: "Keep it in mind, if the general doesn't believe it, will Yun lead the way today?"

"Very good!"
