Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Xu Rong Returns
After Xu Rong was brought to Beihai, Zhang De arranged a house for him alone, and also arranged for his servants. Apart from not being able to leave Beihai City, Xu Rong was not restricted in his freedom.

And when Zhang De came to Xu Rong's mansion, he saw that Xu Rong was wearing hemp and filial piety, and Xu Rong's mansion also set up a mourning hall. There was a memorial tablet on the mourning hall. Just looking at it, you can tell that this is the mourning hall set up by Xu Rong for Dong Zhuo.

Zhang De sighed, this Xu Rong is really a loyal person.

Xu Rong also saw Zhang De coming, so Xu Rong naturally knew Zhang De's purpose.When Xu Rong was captured by Zhang De, he had promised Zhang De that once Dong Zhuo died, he would surrender to Zhang De. It seems that Zhang De's intention for coming today is exactly the same.

Zhang De came to Xu Rong, before he could speak, Xu Rong spoke first: "Xu Rong has seen the lord!"

Zhang De was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Rong to go directly to his lord, a lot of excuses he had prepared were useless now, for a while, Zhang De didn't know where to start.For a while, Zhang De was stunned.

Seeing anger and embarrassment, Chen Gong coughed lightly, and Zhang De also came to his senses, and said, "General Xu, please mourn."

……

After Zhang Miao returned to Chenliu, he also developed vigorously.Although Yanzhou was severely affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chenliu had a large population, so it recovered quickly.

Ever since Zhang Miao discovered that he had a general like Dian Wei under his command, his ambitions had also swelled.In the past, Zhang Miao's ambitions were not great because he didn't have many people available under his command, but now it's different. With a general like Dian Wei, Zhang Miao felt that he had some capital to dominate the world.

After discovering Dianwei, Zhang Miao felt that there were many capable people among the people, so when he returned to Chenliu, Zhang Miao did one thing, that is, to recruit talents.

While Zhang Miao sent people to inquire about the talents around Chen Liu, he posted a notice to recruit talents.After a period of time, many talents really came to seek refuge.

Unlike Zhang De, Zhang Miao was born much better than Zhang De.Zhang Miao was originally from a noble family, and he was also one of the "eight cooks". His reputation was much better than that of Zhang De, the eunuch's son, so once the recruitment order came out, the effect was much better than that of Zhang De.

But among the people who came to seek refuge with Zhang Miao, some of them were very capable.There are three people worth mentioning. One is a native of Chenliu. His surname is Mao, his surname is Hsu, and his style name is Xiaoxian.Another person named Man Chong, whose name is Boning, was from Shanyang.

The last person was Cheng Yu, a native of Dongjun.This person is eight feet three inches long, Zhang De is particularly handsome, and very resourceful.

After Cheng Yu took refuge in Zhang Miao, he offered advice to Zhang Miao. Now he should recuperate, wait for the opportunity, first take Yanzhou, and then occupy Qingxu and Xuzhou, and he can achieve hegemony.And now Yuan Yi is restrained by Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, was killed by Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Gong, the new prefect of Dongjun, could not convince the crowd, Bao Xin, Minister of Jinbei, suffered heavy losses in the battle against Dong Zhuo.Therefore, no one in Yanzhou can fight against Zhang Miao, so once the time is right, Yanzhou can be won in one fell swoop.

Now that Dong Zhuo was dead, Zhang Miao thought the time was ripe, so he personally led the army to kill Chenliu and headed straight to Jiyin County in the east.

In Nanpi City, Yuan Shao was looking at the document in his hand with a smile.Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan really agreed to send troops to Jizhou, which is really great. It seems that Jizhou will soon become his own.

In fact, Yuan Shao did not intend to plot Jizhou at that time, but was planning to deal with Zhang De of Qingzhou. After all, the grievances between himself and Zhang De were too deep, but Yuan Shao was a soft-hearted person, and several counselors persuaded Yuan Shao to plot Jizhou first. So Yuan Shao followed the counselor's advice.

Just like in history, Yuan Shao first discussed with Gongsun Zan to attack Han Fu on both sides and divide Jizhou equally, but secretly prepared to send someone to persuade Han Fu to surrender.But Gongsun Zan, who was making Yuan Shao's wedding dress, was at a loss.

……

Luoyang city.

Xun Yu came to Cao Cao in a hurry.

Seeing Xun Yu's haste, Cao Cao asked, "Wen Ruo, what's the rush?"

"My lord, someone from Chang'an is here," Xun Yu said.

"What, someone from Chang'an is here! Was that old fellow Wang Yun sent?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, it was Wang Yun who sent me. He wants my lord to send troops to Chang'an to serve the king!" Xun Yu said.

"Oh? Wen Ruo, what do you think of this?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, in my opinion, there is a lot to do at this time. Chang'an City is a hot yam now. If we send troops to support the king, we will inevitably conflict with Li Jue and Guo Si's reinforcements from Xiliang. If our strength is as strong as Xiliang If the army clashes head-on, the losses will be huge," Xun Yu said.

"Then we won't go?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, of course it is good to go. After all, if we can control the emperor, it is very beneficial for us to coerce the emperor to command the princes. However, Lu Bu is still in Chang'an, and that old fox Wang Yun is not a fuel-efficient lamp. So we probably won't get any advantage if we go!" Xun Yu continued.

It is a good idea to hold the emperor to order the princes. From Cao Cao's perspective, he can naturally see the benefits in this. If he can control the emperor, then he can justifiably use the emperor's card to order the world and the princes.But looking back, Lu Bu has the courage of a million men, and that old man Wang Yun is not easy to deal with. Can they let themselves control the emperor?

The answer is definitely not.Lu Bu is a reckless man, nothing to worry about, but Wang Yun is different.Thinking back to the time when I was plotted by the old man Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, no matter whether I succeeded or not, I couldn't escape from that errand!I was also young at the time, so I was tricked by that old fox. Fortunately, I entered Dong Zhuo's bedroom and thought about it. I was tricked by Wang Yun. I thought of a way to pretend to offer a knife, otherwise I would have died.

It seems that this matter needs to be discussed and discussed carefully, so Cao Cao immediately sent someone to invite Guo Jia and Xun You to discuss this matter.

At this moment, the servants came to report that Liu Ye had returned from Hangu Pass.

Cao Cao hastily announced Liu Ye to come in, but Liu Ye said with a happy face: "Congratulations, my lord, the matter is settled, and Hu Chi'er is willing to surrender!"

"Oh? Really, that's great, come here, send Cao Ren and Le Jin over immediately!" Cao Cao said.
