Han Dao world

Chapter 460 The Last Chance
Yan Rou walked through the crowd and saw a familiar figure.

"Zilong?" Yan Rou couldn't believe her eyes, she always thought that Zhao Yun had voted for Yuan Shao.

Zhao Yun nodded. "The Son of Heaven is up there."

Yan Rou understood, didn't say anything more, and walked up the hill quickly.Ke Bi Neng's envoy Ke Wei who was traveling with him asked curiously: "Who is this person?"

"Changshan Zhao Yun used to work for Gongsun Zan. Because he didn't like Gongsun Zan, he left later."

Ke's complexion changed slightly, and he looked back at Zhao Yun again.In the hearts of Wuhuan and Xianbei people, Gongsun Zan has a great reputation.This person actually looked down on Gongsun Zan, so he must not be an ordinary person.

When he came to Liu Xie, he bowed and saluted.Ke Zui also saluted, not even daring to speak out loudly.

Although the emperor of the Han family in front of him is smiling and kind, the guards around him are not kind at all, especially the middle-aged man, whose eyes are like sharp swords, which makes people feel palpitating. He looks more dangerous than Zhao Yun .

"I heard that you have lived on the grassland since you were a child?" Liu Xie asked Yan Judao.

Yan Rou is not surprised. "As Your Majesty said, when I was young, I was living in the grasslands, but fortunately I didn't die."

"Are there many like you?"

"a lot of."

"Are there a lot of people living in the grassland like you, or are there a lot of people like you who not only survived, but also lived well?"

Yan Rou was stunned for a moment. "There are many people living in the grassland like my ministers, but not many survive. First, the grasslands are cold and harsh, and the people in Senai have difficulty adapting. Second, whether it is Xianbei or Wuhuan, they respect the strong and enslave the weak. There is no mercy. In the heart, killing is a common thing."

Yan Rou thought for a while and added another sentence. "Not only for the Han Chinese, but also for their own people."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "Has it been like this for hundreds of years?"

"It's always been like this." Yan Rou emphasized her tone.

"Sure enough, it's still not educated enough, it's no different from a beast." Liu Xie sighed softly. "I want to educate the grasslands, how should I do it more safely?"

Yan Rou was speechless.This was not within his expectations, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Duan Jiong's tomb not far away. "What do you think of Taiwei Duan's achievements?"

Yan Rou understood what Liu Xie meant.Talking about Duan Jiong is an excuse, and talking about Gongsun Zan is the real purpose.This disappointed him.He has never been a supporter of Gongsun Zan, otherwise he would not appear here as Liu He's envoy.

Yan Rou thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Three Mings in Liangzhou are all imperial cities, but I still admire Huangfu Duke Weiming and Zhang Gongranming the most."

Duan Quan's expression on the side was a bit ugly, but he didn't react too much.It is a fact that Duan Jiong's reputation is not as good as Huangfugui's and Zhang Huan's, and Yan Rou is not alone in seeing this way.

Liu Xie nodded slightly.For Yan Rou to say that in front of the Duan family, it can be seen that she is not a person who gives in easily.His attitude is already very clear, there is no need to try again.

Of course, he also wanted Jia Xu and Duan Quan to understand that without the support of the court, Duan Jiong would not have received such honors, so don't take it for granted.Only by following the imperial court can the Duan family's glory be preserved forever.

"Is it possible for Liu He to become a famous general like Huangfu Weiming and Zhang Ranming?"

"If Your Majesty grants you permission, you should work hard to get it. Even if you can't follow the stories of the previous sages, it's better than Gongsun Zan."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly.Yan Rou really didn't like Gongsun Zan, she didn't hide it at all, and attacked directly.But it's a pity that he is really not as good as Gongsun Zan.

Of course, it doesn't make sense for him not to say such things now.

What he wanted was for Liu He to gather the people of Youzhou and draw a clear line with Yuan Shao.Don't think that you can have both sides, and you won't offend either.

"If you didn't trust him, how could the imperial court worship him as the general who conquered Beizhong and pay you for the affairs of Youzhou. Unfortunately, for more than a year, he could neither quell the civil strife in Youzhou, nor stabilize the frontier." Liu Xie said in a tone. After getting cold, he said again: "I don't even know if he is still the imperial court's Zhengbei Zhonglang general."

Yan Rou opened her mouth to speak, but closed it embarrassingly.

It is true that most of Liu He's current subordinates are from Youzhou, but he obeys Yuan Tan's command and obtains food supplies from Jizhou.Rather than saying that he is a member of the court, it is better to say that he is a member of Yuan Shao.

What's more, the war this year was not smooth, and Gongsun Zan was barely suppressed in Zhuojun and Fanyang, and he was unable to make a major breakthrough for a long time.It is really not convincing to say that he can become a famous general like Huangfugui and Zhang Huan.

It is precisely because of this that Xun You's great victory in Danhanshan was so shocking.If the imperial court lost patience with Liu He and ordered Xun You to send his troops into the customs, the situation in Youzhou would not be up to them.

If Gongsun Zan reacted and sent someone to ask for help from the court, the situation would be even worse.Not only Liu He himself will be in trouble, but those who support Liu He and are enemies of Gongsun Zan will also be in trouble.

"General Zhengbei Zhonglang was originally a clan, father and son loyal ministers. At the beginning, His Majesty was forced by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao wanted to serve Liu Taifu as the master, but Liu Taifu sternly refused, and he worked tirelessly to send envoys to contribute. Loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. General Zhengbei Zhonglang Under the order of His Majesty, he traveled to Shandong, and now he is united with Yuan Shao. This is because of the hatred of the country and the family, and he has no choice but to do it himself. I hope that your Majesty will learn from you, and don’t let loyal ministers and good generals be wronged.”

"Is it really something you can't do?"

"It's absolutely true." Yan Rou bowed again.

"The Grand Tutor caress Youzhou again, wins the heart of Han Hu, Liu He avenges the Grand Tutor, and wants to rely on Jizhou and obey Yuan Shao?"

"There are not many household registrations in Youzhou, and after years of wars, they cannot be self-sufficient."

"No matter how difficult Youzhou is, how can it be more difficult than Liangzhou?" Liu Xie sneered. "Go back and tell Liu He that if he can't survive without Yuan Shao and his son, then he should go back to the court and I will send another capable general."

Cold sweat broke out on Yan Rou's forehead.

The emperor doubted Liu He's loyalty, so he could protest.The emperor doubted Liu He's ability, but he refuted without words.If the imperial court really dismissed Liu He and sent another person to appease Youzhou, Liu He really had no reason to refuse.No matter who replaces Liu He, Youzhou may be pacified, but there is a high probability that Liu Yu's revenge for being killed will not be avenged.

The emperor gave Liu He a chance, but he couldn't grasp it himself, so who can be blamed?
"Wei!" Yan Rou bowed to accept the order.

"Is this Ke Bineng's emissary?" Liu Xie turned to Ke Zui.

Ke could understand a few Chinese words best, but Liu Xie and Yan Rou spoke too fast just now, and he hardly understood. He only knew that the emperor of the Han family was in a bad mood, and Yan Rou felt uneasy.

"Yes, his name is Ke Zui, and he is a close clan member of Ke Bineng." Yan Rou introduced and motioned for Ke Zui to come forward.Ke dared not neglect the most, stepped forward to salute, and presented the gift list.

Cai Yan on the side took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie didn't answer and stared at Ke the most. "Kebi is willing to be a minister?"

Seeing that Liu Xie did not accept the gift list, Ke was even more disturbed. "Yes."

"Then let him bring the tribe." Liu Xie said, "I can give him half of Fuluohan's pasture. In the future, he will fight with me and make contributions, and there will be other rewards."

Ke was the most stunned. "Your Majesty... order my whole family to move west?"

"You don't want to?" Liu Xie's tone was cold. "Or, do you want to move to the north of the North Sea?"
