Chapter 605
Hebei, Liaodong.

Ever since Yuan Shang pacified the rebellion of the Gongsun family and Liu He in Liaodong, Liaodong has always been an important border area of ​​the four prefectures in Hebei. The swiftness and ferociousness made people jaw-dropping. Of course, this was guided by Yuan Shang's correct strategy, and of course the hard work of the actual operator Tian Yu was indispensable.

About a year ago, Liaodong, which was developing vigorously, quietly welcomed a guest surnamed Li. This man was a businessman, and his behavior was very low-key. He bought a foreign house outside the city of Liaodong, and then went to Living in the middle, what he usually does is domestic and overseas trade and freight transactions. In modern terms, it is express logistics. After a period of time, he has earned a good fortune. .

But the strange thing is that since this wealthy businessman came here, disasters have always happened in Liaodong every now and then. Either he was looted by bandits, or the important facilities in the city were caught in fire, or he was caused by Yuan Shang’s foreign race, and what’s more. Even the newly reclaimed fields were deliberately destroyed and ravaged... In short, there has been no rest in Liaodong this year.

In this way, Liaodong, which had been developing steadily throughout the year, stagnated and encountered unprecedented obstacles, as if there was an invisible black hand secretly tearing apart the good situation in the Northeast.

Outside Liaodong City, in the courtyard of a merchant named Li...

The businessman surnamed Li is very extravagant. Not only did he build the house huge, but he also built a small bridge in the middle of the courtyard like a pond filled with fish fry. You can also enjoy fishing.

On this day, Li Keshang was fishing in the courtyard for leisure, but someone came to report that Tian Yu, the governor of Liaodong, came to pay a special visit.

Li Keshang heard the words, the hand holding the boom shook without leaving any traces, then thought for a while, and said: "Please come in."

When I was young, under the leadership of the housekeeper, Tian Yu, the prefect of Liaodong, strode to the edge of the pond in the courtyard.

Li Keshang raised his head and looked at Tian Yu. The two looked at each other for a while, but it was Tian Yu who laughed first.

"You will enjoy fishing in this big pond... Li Ru."

Li Ru smiled when he heard the words, but even though he was laughing, when he looked at Tian Yu, he was obviously in a bad mood, with a big "Chuan" on his forehead.

Although he didn't want to see Tian Yu, but he came after all, Li Ru couldn't say anything, then he handed Tian Yu a fishing rod, and sighed: "The life is very comfortable, but when you show up, it means My days are over."

Back then, when Yuan saw that Li Ru had an inverse letter written by the emperor to Song Jian in his hand, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately subdued Li Ru and promised to give him a sunny road, but he put forward a condition for him, that is, let him want to In order to help deal with the Luoyang emperor's family, he asked Li Ru to come to Liaodong, contact the emperor's family, and stop in Liaodong, secretly cooperating with Tian Yu.

Li Ru was vicious and resourceful. After he came to Liaodong, he immediately sent his trusted stalwarts to contact the emperor in Luoyang, saying that he wanted to join forces with the emperor to deal with Yuan Shang. He only hoped that after the event was completed, the emperor would promise to forgive him. The crime of the poisoned king made him return to his homeland.

At that time, Li Ru was guilty of poisoning the young emperor from Dong Zhuo, and later he was guilty of rebelling against the imperial court with Song Jian. Yuan Shang is even more impossible!Moreover, Song Jian still died in Yuan Shang's hands, and it can be said that Yuan Shang broke Li Ru's last shelter barrier, so Liu Xie felt that Yuan Shang and Li Ru should have different hatreds.Coupled with the fact that the right to pardon Li Ru is in his own hands, Liu Xie believes that Li Ru is most likely to unite with him sincerely...

Joining with the Tian family is undoubtedly the best choice for a street mouse like Li Ru.

Therefore, Li Ru asked Liu Xie for an amnesty edict with a seal.Of course, it is impossible for Liu Xie to really give him the edict. He needs Li Ru to make some achievements to show himself, and Li Ru is just taking advantage of the situation to push the boat.

In view of Liu Xie's caution, Li Ru secretly teamed up with Tian Yu in Liaodong. On the surface, he was a businessman, but in fact, he recruited troops in Liaodong as an "anti-Yuan" and destroyed the rear, because Liaodong was the largest of the Yuan family in the Northeast. The border is also one of the important pilot sites for Yuan Shang to integrate with foreign nationalities. If he wants to gain the complete trust of Liu Xie, making trouble in Liaodong is undoubtedly the best choice.

And Tian Yu was also ordered by Yuan Shang to cooperate with Li Ru with all his strength. For these years, Li Ru was wreaking havoc in Liaodong. Tian Yu was not only helpless on the surface because of his ineffective investigation, but also gave him great help secretly...

Even if the prefect is like this, the development of Liaodong can be imagined, it has been stagnant, and it even regressed slightly from the previous few years.

Tian Yu secretly supported Li Ru Jinbo, and asked him to bribe Xianbei who was trying to integrate into the Han people in various tribes in Eastern Liaodong. It is also a once-and-for-all measure to find out a group and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys.

In this way, Li Ru wants money and people, and he has become a black hand behind the scenes in Liaodong. He and Tian Yu are one black and one white, one bright and one dark. Competing wits and courage, but in fact they are colleagues, echoing each other from afar and cooperating seamlessly.

The two sat together fishing, and after a while, they saw Tian Yu pull the fishing rod vigorously, and a big fish was pulled away from the lake by him.

"Haha, good!" Tian Yu happily weighed the fish he caught in his hands, and said, "The fish has grown, it's time to draw the net!"

Li Ru trembled slightly, glanced sideways at Tian Yu, and said, "What do you mean...you seem to be referring to something?"

Tian Yu threw the fish he caught into the fish basket, and then handed Li Ru a letter, saying: "Look for yourself, the lord has sent a letter, let us cooperate with him to collect the net."

Li Ru was startled when he heard the words, and said: "My lord just set his sights on this side as soon as he conquered the Central Plains, and he didn't stop at all..."

After casually taking the letter from Tian Yu and reading it carefully, Li Ru's complexion suddenly changed.

"My lord! My lord's net this time is quite large. Not only the Luoyang emperor family, but also the Yingchuan Xun family, and the unstable alien races in Liaodong are all included! This... can this work?" ?”

Tian Yu chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, you are always bold in your actions! Either don't do it, or do it in a more beautiful way. The two of us have been tossing around in Liaodong for more than a year, and it's almost time to do it. Otherwise, we will always accompany you like this. Going on, my Liaodong County is not advancing but retreating, it is always hanging like this, is it still going to develop?"

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Although the reason is such a reason, there must be a reason for doing the things mentioned in the Lord's letter. If it is not true, I am afraid that Luoyang will not do it Yes, our losses during this time will be in vain... Don't forget, there is Xu Shu by the little emperor's side!"

Hearing this, Tian Yu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, we still have an ally who can help us achieve this."

Li Ru pondered for a while, then hurriedly said, "Who?"

"Tuoba Liwei!"

"Him? He's a fine guy! I heard that when the lord went to Saibei, he was able to stand on the lord's side without hesitation in the face of the Three Kings. This also made him jump from a small chief to what he is today. The No. [-] person to rectify the Northern Territory for the lord! Now he is still deterring the countries of the Western Regions for us. To be honest, Tuoba Liwei's power has developed greatly outside the border, and he no longer needs to get involved in the affairs of China to benefit himself. .”

Tian Yu smiled and said: "You're right, Tuoba Liwei was weak back then, so he united with the lord and encouraged him, but now he is stronger, although he has a good relationship with us, he may not interfere in the affairs of the middle land, But Tuoba Liwei has one advantage, that is, he is bold, which is why he dared to openly support the lord to turn against the Three Kings... What the lord means is that a bold person, as long as he has enough benefits, is so deviant Don't be afraid that they won't dare to do anything!"

Li Ru: "..."

***********************
Overseas, Tuoba Liwei Department.

Tuoba Li, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, stroked his beard slightly, and quietly looked at the letter sent by Yuan Shang, his eyes sparkled, as if hesitating and weighing.

Below is Tian Chou, an important minister attached to the Yuan family, who was recommended by Tian Yu back then.

Looking at Tuoba Li's slightly uncertain face, Tian Chou smiled slightly, and said: "Da Shanyu, you and I have always been friends since the time when we fought against the Three Kings, and have been working hand in hand for many years. Jin, back then my great general lived in Hebei, after Cao Cao, and the Great Shanyu was nothing more than a valley in the grassland, without any glory, but since you and I joined forces, look now, the general is the leader of the desert company. A generation of prairie kings in the Western Regions, and my general is the number one vassal in the world, and now that the two are strong, it is time to unite again, why should the Great Chanyu hesitate?"

Tuoba Li smiled wryly, and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​to tell you the truth, over the years, although my strength has grown stronger, I have never forgotten the kindness of the General. For the friendship of all allies, let’s take the last time the general invited us to attack the Wusun kingdoms. This king has nothing to say, and I am willing to follow the lead of the general, but..."

Speaking of this, Tuoba Li gave a wry smile, and said, "It's just that this time, it's about your internal disputes in Central China, this king... it seems inconvenient to intervene, right?"

Tian Chou chuckled, shook his head and said, "The Great Shanyu is really living and going back. The Great General took action in the matter of the northern part of the Great Wall, fighting against the Three Kings, taking over the Xianbei, and the tribes of the Southern Huns in the interior. Is this also a private dispute among us? It seems that there is a reason for everything in the world, but in fact there is no reason! It is just following the trend, and the Great Danyu is now the overlord outside the Great Wall, don't you want to take this opportunity to do something even bigger?"

Tuoba Li blinked blankly, and said: "The bigger thing that Mr. said is...?"

Tian Chou took a deep breath, stepped forward, and whispered in Tuoba Liwei's ear in a deep and deep voice: "Could it be said that Da Shanyu is satisfied with the status quo just being the king of the grassland? Could it be that , Didn’t the Great Chanyu ever think about establishing a country on his own?”

"Snapped--!"

Following Tian Chou's words, the bamboo slips in Tuoba Liwei's hands fell to the ground without warning, making a waking sound, just like the words in his mind at the moment.

Founding of the country! ?
