Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Receive Two Generals, Eighty Thousand Gold (Second Change)
At this time Liu Yi also ran over, and after seeing Yuan Xi, he was also shocked.

"Haha, two generals, don't you invite Xi to sit in?" Yuan Xi looked at the two people who were stunned, and asked with a smile.

Liu Yi came to his senses immediately, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, please"

"Okay." After Yuan Xi nodded, he stepped in, looked at the food on the stone table, and said, "Are you guys eating?"

"Yes" Liu Yi nodded quickly.

"Would you mind being together, Xi didn't eat either?" Yuan Xi said gently.

Liu Yi was taken aback, and quickly said: "Of course it's okay, Wu Ping, where are the bowls and chopsticks, and take out all the drinks?"

"promise!"

After the four of them sat down, Yuan Xi looked at Liu Yi and said, "General Liu, Xi knows you very well. To be honest, Xi won this battle by luck. If it wasn't for Gongsun Kang's problem, the general wouldn't be so easy. fail"

Liu Yi smiled wryly, "As a general, you should be loyal to your lord and obey orders. This is what you should do. As for the final outcome, no one can count."

"Haha, what you said is good. General Liu is indeed a loyal person. At this time, he will not hurt the old master. If he locks you here, it will be Xizhi's death. Will the general return to Liaoxi?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

Liu Yi's pupils shrank, and he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yi is willing to go back."

"Are there any special requirements?" Yuan Xi asked deliberately.

"No, I just want to meet my family again," Liu Yi said with longing.

Yuan Xi smiled, gently picked up the wine glass on the table, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll treat you as Xi for that glass. When you go back, spend time with your family and make them feel at ease."

"Thank you, Lord!" Liu Yi and Qi Tao raised their glasses gratefully and stood up.

After Yuan Xi drank the cup with the two of them with a smile, he said, "Military Master, let's go back then! The two generals are probably about to return home, let them tidy up a little bit."

Li Ru was stunned, Liu Yi and Qi Tao were also stunned, so it was over, didn't Yuan Xi come to recover them.

Looking at the unexpected three people, Yuan Xi suddenly became serious, and said: "Don't misunderstand, two generals, Xi loves talents like his destiny, so naturally he won't let you go, but Xi doesn't allow anyone to slander Xi's generals for betraying the lord and return, go back and be good." Rest, all the prefects from all over the country will personally visit and invite you to come out of the mountain again with great gifts. This is Xi's respect for you, and it is also the respect you should enjoy."

After speaking, he patted the shoulders of both of them with a smile, and walked away slowly with Li Ru admiringly.

Liu Yi and Qi Tao came to their senses at this moment, looked at each other, and immediately turned their heads to look at Yuan Xi's back gratefully, and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Hou!"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and gradually disappeared.

In the carriage back to the Inspector's Mansion, Li Ru said with admiration: "Master Hou is wise, so not only the two generals can willingly submit to Lord Hou, but also set off a wave of Lord Hou's love, respect and respect for talents throughout Liaodong." , so that those Liaodong veterans can feel at ease one by one."

"Haha, military advisor, do you think this is due to Xi?" Yuan Xi asked back.

"Of course," Li Ru affirmed.

Yuan Xi shook his head, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, they surrendered a long time ago, Xi's words only added fuel to the flames."

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he said, "Master Hou, how do you know?"

"Feeling!" Yuan Xi smiled faintly, a golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes, it was obvious that he had already used the Qianlong Key to understand the loyalty and treachery of the two.

"Feeling" Li Ru was surprised, he was full of doubts in his heart, how could it be possible to feel it, the human heart is the most difficult to figure out, but looking at Yuan Xi who didn't want to talk, he didn't ask too much, anyway, the result is right, that's all. .

"By the way, where are the nearly [-] Goguryeo soldiers?" Yuan Xi suddenly asked with concern.

"Most of them are being held in Liaosui City, waiting to be released," Li Ru replied immediately.

Yuan Xi smiled coldly, "A mere Goguryeo dares to come to the big man to be presumptuous."

"It was probably forced by Gongsun Du. Liaodong is adjacent to Goguryeo. Such a small country naturally dare not resist," Li Ru explained.

"Military division, how many soldiers and horses are there in Goguryeo?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Based on the past situation, it is definitely not more than [-]. The area of ​​Goguryeo seems to be quite large, but the land is vast and sparsely populated. This time the troops dispatched this time are probably half of the dynasty's troops," Li Ru replied disdainfully.

Yuan Xi's eyes flashed brightly. It seems that the country that is so loud in the future is still in a terrible state. This is really a god-sent opportunity!
"Immediately send an eloquent envoy over there, Xi needs King Dongchuan to give me an explanation," Yuan Xi suddenly said coldly.

After Li Ru frowned, he said with a smile: "Master Hou definitely wants to accept Goguryeo."

"Haha, those who know me are also my military advisers, but not so fast. The purpose of the army now is to recover the three counties, but Goguryeo sent troops without authorization to help Gongsundu and harm my people and soldiers. Shouldn't he make up for it? Not too much If you pay [-] gold, it’s fine, if you lose one gold, someone will send troops to destroy Goguryeo, and there will be no mercy,” Yuan Xi said coldly.

When Li Ru heard this, he suddenly smiled coldly, and said, "Master Hou, forty thousand gold is too little, and Yiliang seems to be doubling it."

"Eighty thousand gold" Yuan Xi was surprised.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, a dynasty that has accumulated for a hundred years can definitely get [-] gold. Negotiations are all about asking prices everywhere, so you can sit down and bargain." Li Ru smiled.

"Haha, the military adviser is wise, but you must keep it secret. If some literati find out, some people will probably say that Xi is cruel and does not practice benevolence and righteousness," Yuan Xi said.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, those are the words of some pedantic scholars. What is the way of benevolence and righteousness, the kingly way is the true way. No matter what way it is, you must submit to the kingly way. There is no need for Hou Ye to worry about the policy of foreigners, at most one more time to burn books and bury Confucian scholars, there can only be one voice in this world, and that is the voice of Hou Ye, anyone who violates this will undoubtedly die." Li Ru was extremely cold said, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

Yuan Xi nodded with great satisfaction, he was indeed his destiny's mastermind, and said, "Arrange people to go there as soon as possible."

"No!" Li Ru replied respectfully.

Just after the two returned to the Governor's Mansion, Liu Quan suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Yuan Xi, "Master Hou, it's not good, something happened in the backyard, you go and have a look?"

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xi frowned.

Liu Quan immediately came to Yuan Xi's side and whispered something in his ear.

"Presumptuous..." After Yuan Xi heard this, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and he said, "Military Master, you go to Zipei first, Shi Yuan and the others..."

"No!" Li Ru immediately turned and left. The matter in the backyard should be a matter between the wives, and he didn't dare to take care of it, nor did he want to take care of it.
