Chapter 147
In Liu Bian's study.

"What did you say? Li Ru jumped out by himself and went to see Yuan Shu in person?" Liu Bian asked Wei Xiaokuan with a puzzled expression on his face.

"That's right, I suspected that Li Ru was still in Luoyang City, so I always stood up to the princes from all walks of life, but I didn't want Li Ru to meet Yuan Shu in person!" Wei Xiaokuan said in a low voice.

"Is Li Ru desperate? With his shrewdness, how could he be willing to expose himself?"

"But that's fine, he jumps out by himself, so you keep an eye on him all the time, and when the time comes..." Liu Bian sneered, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't let him leave Luoyang alive!" Wei Xiaokuan nodded.

But Li Ru, after his faith collapsed, Li Ru had nothing to fear. Anyway, Li Ru took destroying the aristocratic family and letting the poor family rise up as his own responsibility in his life. Now that Liu Bian is actually an enemy of the aristocratic family, Li Ru has nothing to fetter.

"Since you plan to restore peace to the world, I will help you!" Li Ru's thoughts became firm.With a few followers, he went straight to Yuan Shu's residence.

Yuan Shu, who was dressed in fine clothes, sat on the first seat, looked at Li Ru below, and said with a sneer, "Li Wenyou, what are you doing here, do you know that the whole Luoyang City is searching for you! You are not afraid Shall I hand you over to Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty? Do you really regard Liu Bian as His Majesty? I'm here to save your life!" Li Ru said with a hook of his mouth.

"Haha, don't be alarmist. I am a food supervisor appointed by His Majesty himself. What do you need to save me?" Yuan Shu sneered.

"But I heard that you, former general, had a big fight with Liu Bian before you were named former general by Liu Bian. At that time, you supported Liu Xie as emperor. You thought Liu Bian asked you to be the food supervisor. Is it a good intention?" In a few words, Li Ru told what happened at the time of the alliance that day.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes.

"As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country! Liu Bian has been abolished by the prime minister, but he claims to be orthodox. But you support Liu Xie, which is a big taboo! You think Liu Bian will let it go Are you?" Li Ru asked back.

Yuan Shu swallowed his saliva, his eyes were a little unsteady, but he forced himself to be calm and said: "Nonsense, Your Majesty sees that my Yuan family is the fourth generation and third father, so I treat you as a food supervisor!"

"Four generations and three princes, does General Yuan know what will happen to Yang Biao? The Hongnong Yang family is not under the Yuan family, right? How did Liu Bian treat Yang Biao?"

Yuan Shu's heart fluctuated, and he said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Let me ask the general how many princes he has offended during this period of time? How much food and supplies have been embezzled!" Li Ru looked into Yuan Shu's eyes.

"En?" Yuan Shu stared, obviously feeling a little unhappy.

But Yuan Shu was flustered. During this time, he first cut off Sun Jian’s food and grass, so that Sun Jian was defeated, and then embezzled a lot of food and grass from other princes, and used the food and grass to recruit soldiers and horses, and occupied Nanyang, Huainan and other wealthy countries. place.

"Well, even I know, do you think Liu Bian doesn't know? Liu Bian has a trick to kill with a knife!" Li Ru sighed.

Yuan Shu couldn't calm down at last, and said anxiously: "Is this Liu Bian deliberately wanting me to offend the princes of the world, and to use their swords to kill me?"

"Liu Bian hates the aristocratic family. The four generations and three lords of the Yuan family can be said to be the number one family in the world. The general is a direct descendant of the Yuan family. If the general dies, no one in the world's aristocratic family can be against him!" Li Ru clasped his hands.

"Then what should I do, sir, please teach me!" Yuan Shu hurriedly asked Li Ru for help.

"The general should not do anything at this time, but keep bringing food and grass from all the princes back to Huainan!" Li Ru stroked his beard and said.

"But in this way, isn't my crime confirmed and I have completely offended the princes of the world!" Yuan Shu frowned.

"The general is worrying too much. All the families in the world look forward to the general. There are millions of people in Huainan and Nanyang. The general can lead hundreds of thousands of armor in an instant. At that time, which prince will dare to be an enemy of the general!" Li Ru laughed. on the road.

Li Ru's words were quite useful to Yuan Shu, he raised his head and smiled and said, "That's a good statement, but what should Liu Bian do here?"

"Haha, Liu Bian has already offended the families of the world, and even the prime minister restrained him, so he can only defend Luoyang, so how can he deal with the general?" Li Ru smiled lightly.

"Well, it's true that Liu Bian offended the Yang family of Hongnong, and it must be tolerated by the world's aristocratic families. No one would use it for him! But I want to know why you came to me!" Yuan Shu said cautiously.

"The general is a role model for the world, and he is more loyal to Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The prime minister hopes that after the general rises up, he can support Liu Xie as emperor! After a hundred years of prime minister, the general will be the prime minister of the great Han!" Li Ru explained.

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes, and after weighing the matter, he laughed and said, "Haha, good, then a certain family will leave tonight and return to Nanyang overnight!"

"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news and wait for the general to rise up and attack the false emperor Liu Bian!" Li Ru clasped his hands and said with a smile.

Li Ru looked at Yuan Shu's excited look, and smiled coldly in his heart.

"That certain family is leaving!" Li Ru cupped his hands.

"I'll send it to Mr.!"

After Li Ru left, Yuan Shu hurriedly held his luggage, and rushed back to Fengqiu that night to transport the hoarded grain and grass back to Nanyang.

As soon as Yuan Shu left, the princes from all walks of life got the news, and all of them turned pale with fright, and hurriedly led the army to leave Luoyang without even Liu Bian notifying him.

The princes left one by one, Liu Bian naturally got the news, and he was very excited. Once these uncles left, he could manage Luoyang with peace of mind.

In Liu Bian's study, Liu Yu and Kong Rong came to see Liu Bian, and all the princes left, leaving only two people in Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu is so rebellious that he took our food and grass and left, and the princes from all walks of life also left. Now that Luoyang has insufficient troops, Kong Beihai and I are willing to hand over our military power and stay by Your Majesty's side!" Liu Yu said with a look of resentment.

Kong Rong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please agree!"

But Liu Bian shook his head and said, "No, you can't stay in Luoyang!"

"Does Your Majesty despise us for being too old?" Liu Yu said with a sad face.

"Of course not. The emperor's uncle knows the heavy responsibility on your shoulders! Youzhou, where the emperor's uncle is located, and Beihai County, Qingzhou, where Kong Beihai is located, one is located in Hebei, and the other is a rich place in the Central Plains. During the Warring States period, it was between Yan State and Qi State. The foundation of the country!" Liu Bian shook his head and said.

"Nowadays, the princes of the world are full of ambitions. I am in the land of Luoyang. If there is a war in the Central Plains, I will definitely be out of reach for a while! And Qingzhou and Youzhou are battlegrounds for military strategists!"

"Then Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, among the scholars, received a lot of response. Although he is now the prefect of Bohai, a mere prefect will definitely not be able to satisfy his appetite. When he occupies Jizhou, if he wins Youzhou and Qingzhou, it will be a big deal. Well, I still need you two to take charge of these two places and suppress the development of the princes of the world!" Liu Bian explained.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, but I'm old, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task!" Although Liu Yu was touched, he still declined.

"I also want you to be by my side, but no one under my command has the prestige like you! Only you can hold back these two places!" Liu Bian shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I have Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. This person has always been at odds with my political views, and his subordinates are full of talents. I am afraid that the veteran is no match for this person!"

"Your Majesty, I only have one Wu'an country in Beihai, but in Lu Bu's hands, it can't survive a few rounds. If you want to control Qingzhou, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!"

Both of them were full of bitterness, they only felt that the task given by Liu Bian was too heavy!

"Don't worry, you two, wait patiently for two days, and I will send someone to go with you!" Liu Bian smiled indifferently.
