Chapter 618 622. Jiuding replaces Tian Feng

622, Jiuding replaces Tian Feng

In July, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu ​​started a series of battles on both sides of the Yellow River. Liu Hao sent people to find Cao Cao and bluntly said that he would exchange Korean slaves for Cao Cao's possible prisoners of war, or simply buy prisoners of war with grain.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought against Yuan Shao, which consumed a huge amount of money. In order not to waste food, he had to kill the prisoners with tears in his eyes.

Cao Cao couldn't be sure how long this battle would last. He couldn't keep these prisoners of war forever, let alone release them. He was worried about driving them to the battlefield. If he exchanged them for Goryeo slaves, they would be mere cannon fodder. He didn't worry about them surrendering to Yuan Shao, let alone them.

He was worried that if they escaped, they would die. Moreover, there was also a partial food subsidy, so Cao Cao had no reason to refuse.

Furthermore, Cao Cao also knew that Liu Hao was collecting people to fill the occupied land. Even though he knew that he might confront Liu Hao in the future, Cao Cao thought carefully and agreed. He didn't want to hinder Liu Hao and others from opening up territory.

If he does this, Cao Mengde will be remembered in history books for thousands of years.

At the end of July, Liu Hao received 70,000 Yuan Shao's surrendered troops from Cao Cao. He moved all of them to Liaobei County, and arranged personnel to help these surrendered troops write family letters and send them to Yuan Shao's territory. He spent huge sums of money to bring the families of these sergeants to Northern Liaoning and give them to them.

Farms were given to land, houses were given to houses, and a whole process was arranged. By late August, Liaobei had added nearly 400,000 people from Yuan Shao's territory, making Jia Xu happy all day long.

In early September, Liu Hao took another 160,000 prisoners of war from Cao Cao. This time, half of Cao Cao's prisoners of war were exchanged for food. Liu Hao's reward made Cao Cao feel that Liu Hao's strength was too high. After re-evaluating, he became even more wary.

.

By the end of September, Liaobei County had been completely under control. In the entire Liaozhou region, the Han'er population had exceeded five million, and there were nearly two million slaves. The cement roads in each county were unobstructed, the roads from townships to counties were widened, and the sand and soil were filled and straightened.

It speeds up logistics and reduces costs, making people find that the prices of many commodities have dropped a lot and their lives are happier.

In October, Xu You, a counselor under Yuan Shao, visited Cao Mengde at night. A fire broke out in the Wuchao camp, and Yuan Shao's southern expedition was completely defeated.

In the last battle, Cao Mengde captured nearly 200,000 Yuan Shao's troops. Liu Hao came to buy them. Cao Mengde weighed them for a long time before exchanging them for all the Goryeo Qingzhuang slaves.

When the prisoners of war returned this time, they were accompanied by Xun You and Xun Gongda. This talented person from the Xun family, whom Cao Cao called the "mastermind," came with Cao Mengde's mission.

Liaodong County, the former Gongsun Du Prefecture's residence, was renamed and is still used as Liu Hao's residence and office.

Still in the back garden, Liu Hao entertained Xun You.

Originally, Xun You was still thinking of announcing the decree, but Liu Hao didn't like this kind of procedure. As soon as Xun You opened his mouth, Liu Hao interrupted him.

"Brother Gongda, just give me the imperial edict directly. It's just a procedure. Liu Xian is also a poor person!"

Xun You was shocked. This was the first time he heard such Hong Guoguo's words. Even though Dong Zhuo was so domineering before, he would not call the emperor by his first name. Liu Hao not only did so, but also bluntly said that Liu Xian was a pitiful man. This made

Xun You was very uncomfortable with it. He was clearly mocking his own lord Cao Cao?

"Don't think too much, just sit back. Since the profession of emperor is high and high, it is reasonable for the risks to be higher! There are so many emperors and puppets in the Han Dynasty, and there is no shortage of Liu Xian!"

Xun You kept up with Liu Hao's rhythm. After a few words, he could tell that Liu Hao's character was full of no taboos. He was not an emperor, but in Liu Hao's eyes, he was just an ordinary person.

Liu Hao can say this, but Xun You can't. After all, Liu Hao's surname is Liu, so no one will be too harsh on him if he is a bit more arrogant.

"The Han Empire is almost in the hands of Liu Xian!"

Liu Hao glanced at Xun You while he was speaking. Xun You quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear. In terms of pretending to be stupid, the strongest person in the Three Kingdoms was Xun You in front of him, a representative figure of great wisdom and foolishness.

"Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of! When the dynasty is about to die, no one can stop it, and there is no need to stop it! Cao Mengde will not usurp the throne. At most, he can make himself a king. This bottom line, he still has

of!"

Xun You began to sweat lightly on his forehead. He hadn't said a word since he came in, and he didn't know how to answer.

"It doesn't matter if the Han Dynasty dies, but our Han nation cannot perish! Cao Mengde is willing to sell prisoners of war to me, and he also understands what I want to do and what I want you to do. I also know what I want to see. I can go see it myself. He Cao Mengde is suspicious

It's too heavy. I won't be relieved if I don't send someone here. I'm very happy that you can come. By the way, Han County happens to be short of a prefect, so you can go!"

"Liu Shijun, don't worry?"

Before Xun You came, Cao Cao and Guo Jia had discussed with him that both Cao Cao and Guo Jia could ensure safety. However, they never thought that Liu Hao would directly capture Xun You as a young man, and Xun You himself couldn't figure it out.

"What are you worried about? Besides, I also believe in your ability! However, before you go, you need to understand the administrative structure of Liaozhou. It is different from Dahan's previous position and structure. It's time to understand it.

You also have something to report to Cao Mengde!"

Xun You nodded, confirming that Liu Hao didn't mean to test him. He really wasn't worried about this. It seemed that everything he wanted to know was open to him.

"By the way, Brother Gongda, I want Tian Feng from Yuan Shao's subordinate. Before you came, I had sent merchants with heavy treasures to buy it. Can it be done?"

Xun You opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief on his face. Even if Yuan Shao agreed to buy Tian Feng, wouldn't Tian Feng go crazy? Being sold like goods, as a scholar, could Tian Feng endure it?

"You can't think of any other way? Yuan Shao is too proud. It's okay if he wins. But if he loses, the first thing he does when he goes back is to kill Tian Feng. He has no choice but to make this decision!"

Xun You thought about it and had to admit that what Liu Hao said made sense. There was really no explanation. Yuan Shao was not short of money, or Yuan Shao thought that he was not short of anything. The only thing that could impress Yuan Shao was a heavy treasure!

"What is the important treasure Liu Shijun carries?"

Liu Hao smiled after hearing this, opened his mouth and vomited, a small bronze tripod flew out and turned into a height of three meters in a moment. It was one of the nine tripods on Liu Hao's body, the 'Pulaoding'!

"This is Pulaoding, one of the Nine Cauldrons. I made a copy of it. How about it?"

Xun You had a look of shock on his naive face, and turned his head with difficulty to look at Liu Hao.

What is the 'Nine Tripods'? It is the land of mountains and rivers. It is not an exaggeration to say that the one who gets the Nine Tripods will conquer the world. To a certain extent, it is even more convincing than the jade seal passed down to the country. It is enough to get it and still recognize the master. This is beyond Xun You's idea.

thinking ability;

According to Xun You's thinking, no one will object to the one who obtains the Nine Cauldrons and becomes emperor. It can be said that the throne is granted by heaven!

The only thing that makes Xun You acceptable is that Liu Hao only showed one of them. If all the Nine Cauldrons were really in Liu Hao's hands, Xun You would have been worried about his lord. By that time, the only ones who were die-hardly loyal to Cao Cao might be the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Several family members.

Taking a deep breath, Xun You said to Liu Hao;

"If the Nine Tripods are imitated, the chances of Yuan Shao exchanging them are very high. Now that he has been newly defeated, he urgently needs to stabilize the morale of the army. Obtaining one of the Nine Tripods can just soothe the hearts of the major families!"

"That's good!"

Liu Hao smiled slightly and picked up a magic weapon in his hand. The Pulaoding instantly turned into the size of a grain of rice. Liu Hao opened his mouth and swallowed it in his belly. It reappeared in the sea of ​​​​consciousness and heaven and earth.

Xun You watched the whole process. Although he did not touch it with his own hands, the moment Pulaoding appeared, the information of Jiuding appeared in his mind. At a glance, he could understand that this was the 'Pulaoding'. It was as if it was a legacy engraved in the blood. It was instantly clear. true and false.

Neither of them explained the problem of placing Pulaoding. Yuan Shaozhen exchanged it for an imitation of Pulaoding. In a short period of time, the defeat could be stabilized and the family would not be dissatisfied. For Cao Cao, it had some impact, but it was minimal. Without Pulaoding, Laoding, Yuan Shao still dominates the four northern continents, and those aristocratic families will not really contact Cao Cao to cooperate internally and externally, and it is far from the time of Yuan Shao's defeat.

On the contrary, when it is revealed that Pulaoding is a replica, the damage to Yuan Shao and the Yuan family will be unprecedented, so great that it will wipe out the prestige of several generations of the Yuan family, which is equivalent to Liu Hao sending a bomb to detonate. The weapon was given to Cao Cao. Xun You was too late to be happy, so how could he expose it?

Yuan Shao will also not expose it, and the exchange will only be carried out secretly, and then a ritual will be performed to make Jiuding appear and increase his destined reputation.

This incident may only be stated in the history books in the future, and Yuan Shao will be demoted to be worthless. Liu Hao will not be stained by this. His starting point is good, and one of the Nine Cauldrons is also there. In his own hands, he could imitate it, but others could not. Using this as a bargaining chip in exchange for Tian Feng would only make people think that Liu Hao was clever and had caught Yuan Shao's weakness.

This is what Xun You in front of him thinks. If Liu Hao does not recognize Pu Laoding as his master, Xun You will only think that Liu Hao is disrespectful to Jiuding. But now he has no such idea. He only thinks that it is reasonable and legal, and his master has a good reputation.

On the other side, Yuan Shao returned in embarrassment and received a letter, saying that he would exchange the position of Pulaoding, one of the Nine Cauldrons, for Tian Feng.

Yuan Shao was very reluctant to believe it, and his first, second, and third reaction was that it was fake, but he wanted to try it anyway. It was this mentality that led to Liu Hao's actions;

It should be noted that when Liu Hao was discussing with Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu, he originally thought of casting a glass statue to exchange with Yuan Shao, but he quickly rejected it. The chance was possible, but still too small;

Until Liu Hao thought of Pulao Ding, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu knew that Tian Feng would definitely be exchanged to Liaodong, and Yuan Shao would definitely be fooled. Even if he thought the chance was pitiful, he would still give it a try.

The troubled Yuan Shao couldn't sleep, and until he returned to Yecheng, he couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't dare to discuss it with others. It wasn't until he received the second letter that Yuan Shao made up his mind to exchange Tian Feng.

At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't care less about face, because the new letter was half a map, and this hook made him even more eager to take a gamble.

Tian Feng was taken out of prison by Yuan Shao, and he was prepared to die. However, as soon as he was released from prison, he was put into a carriage and drove out of Yecheng toward the Yellow River.

Along the way, Tian Feng was very confused. He asked several times but did not get an answer, so he had to remain silent. In this world, Tian Feng was also a bachelor. Anyway, in his view, death was death wherever he went, so what did it matter.

When they arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, Tian Feng stepped out of the carriage and saw his family. This made him sigh deeply, thinking that Yuan Shao would not even spare his family. He opened his mouth to comfort his family, but he didn't know how to say it, and his eyes were filled with tears.

.

In the turbulent water of the Yellow River, a black dragon's head stuck out of the water, and it arrived in front of the carriage in a moment;

"Mr. Tian Feng, I have been asked to pick up your family. Please come on board!"

Tian Feng opened his mouth wide, and after a long time he turned to look at the driver, only to find that the driver was a deaf mute. He was confused. Tian Feng really didn't want to die now. He could die, but his family would not be able to die.

Now, he also wanted to know who the person Jiaolong called 'Master' was!

With the participation of the Black Dragon King, the journey was smooth. After carrying Tian Feng's family, the Black Dragon King dived into the Yellow River. Yuan Shao's army following him could only look at the ocean and sigh.

Yuan Shao waited anxiously for half a day before he received the third letter and the other half of the map. He couldn't wait to arrange for his slaves to go and investigate. On the second day, his slaves sent news that in a cave, there was a large rusty bronze

The tripod stood there quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of its owner.

Yuan Shao had forgotten all about Tian Feng and made some plans. He led a large army of troops and horses towards the imitation Pulaoding. On the way, he bathed and changed clothes three times, making the ceremony very grand, and then reached

After entering the cave, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times before he invited the imitation Pulaoding out of the cave.

After getting the imitation Pulaoding, Yuan Shao even played and sang. Lest others didn't know about it, his routine was indeed effective. Before the halfway point, Yecheng's large and small aristocratic families gathered together, and no one among the three generations was absent.

After putting it on his body, he saw the imitation Pulaoding, paid homage to it, and escorted it on foot with the army.

As the news spread, no one paid much attention to Yuan Shaoxin's defeat. Instead, Yuan Shao's prestige increased. Many aristocratic families even sang loudly, "The one who will succeed the Han Dynasty should be the Yuan family!"

After Tian Feng arrived in Liaodong, he was arranged in a house by Liu Hao and was not in a hurry to see him. It was not until the news of Yuan Shao welcoming Jiuding reached Tian Feng's ears that he understood the reason and stood up.

He put on formal clothes and came towards the prefect's mansion.

These days, Tian Feng did not stay in the house. Whenever he had time, he walked out of the big house and wandered around. Newspapers and periodicals were must-read every day. He also learned a lot about Liaodong. Although he had seen only superficial things, in Tian Feng’s opinion, Liaodong

Soon, it will become a more terrifying force than Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng can even feel this enhancement every day, and it is increasing visibly. Yecheng is very prosperous, but now compared with Liaodong Administrative Office, it feels like that. Here, the daily transaction volume is huge, and just collecting

According to Tian Feng's rough calculation, the transaction tax is enough to feed an army of half a million people.

In addition, what surprised Tian Feng the most was that Wu Heng's best horses were also willing to come to Liaodong to trade. You know, although Wu Heng was on good terms with Yuan Shao, he was very cautious about giving up. In the past, when trading, he would

There are mostly inferior dragon horses, and their bloodline is immediately obvious at a glance.
