Upon hearing this, Liu Xie first glanced at Li Yao, and then said:
"Mianli, your master Yuan Benchu ​​sent you here, what's the matter?"

Xu You respectfully said:

"Present gold and silver treasures, jade and silk, and pay tribute to the emperor to show respect!"

Although Liu Xie still remembered that Yuan Shao didn't recognize him as the emperor and joined forces with the Kwantung princes to attack Luoyang and Dong Zhuo, but now that Xu You is so respectful, he still felt happy and said happily:
"Yuan Benchu ​​is a true loyal minister!"

Li Yao's expression remained unchanged, but he was laughing in his heart. Yuan Benchu ​​was still a loyal minister, why couldn't he see it.

If you push He Jin to kill eunuchs, you can still say that it is for the sake of justice, but leading troops into the palace, killing people, acting recklessly, and even separatist the territory to stand on its own, collecting taxes privately, and recruiting troops privately are all against the imperial power. Trampling, when it comes to being loyal to the emperor and the court, Cao Cao was much purer than him at first.

At this time, when Xu You saw the emperor above and the ministers by his side, he finally spoke out about his real purpose:
"Your Majesty, Duke Yuan spared no effort to stabilize the place for His Majesty and the court. He was loyal to His Majesty and the court. He did not ask for any rewards, but only wanted to spare one person. High-ranking officials, Gao Yuancai..."

"He was in Bingzhou just to buy horses. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, so he was arrested by General Wei. After he disappeared, his parents, wife and children were all distraught. Yuan Gong, an uncle, couldn't Turn a blind eye, and ask Your Majesty to be merciful, to be loyal and filial, and to forgive his crimes!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor and all the officials all looked at Li Yao. Now that Xu You said this, they hoped that Li Yao could explain a few words.

The old god Li Yao was there, calm and composed, and said:

"Really? That's a misunderstanding!"

In fact, Li Yao wanted to kill him, as long as he said that he had contacted the Huns with wrong intentions, he could be sentenced to death directly.

If you really want to kill, it will only increase your hatred, so Li Yao smiled and said to everyone:

"Since it was a misunderstanding, then it is natural to let him go. However, Gao Yuan is loyal and filial. How can he not stay in Chang'an and serve His Majesty and the court? Your Majesty, I would like to present him as Yilang, an envoy, and tell me when I go back. Yuan Benchu, tell his parents, wife and children, Gao Yuancai, the imperial court will put him in good use!!"

In the last sentence, Li Yao said it very seriously, it was not a threat, it was more like a threat.

Xu You's face was very ugly, he understood, it's not that Jia Xu didn't agree to him, but Li Yao didn't agree to him, he was determined not to let him go.

This task can't be completed, and it's not easy to go back by myself, because he is Yuan Shao's nephew after all.

At this time, among the left and right ministers, no one stood up to say anything, but Fu Wan and the others had some different thoughts in their hearts.

After all, it was Yuan Shao. Although Cao Cao had some influence, he was only Yuan Shao's younger brother.

They were thinking that if Yuan Shao was willing to help each other and save the emperor from the pass, the possibility would be even greater.

But at this time, Liu Xie spoke again, and he wasn't too tough when facing Li Yao:
"Messenger, since General Wei has also clarified, then I will not make things difficult for Gao Yuancai anymore, let him be a negotiator and stay by my side, that's fine!"

Xu You had no choice but to salute again and said:
"The foreign minister obeys the order!"

Although it is impossible to bring high-ranking officials back, it is now certain that their lives are not in danger for the time being, and they can barely make a difference.

He said some unnutritious, but nice, respectful words...

Finally scattered!
Fu Wan and the others soon dispatched their subordinates to approach Xu You and communicate with him. It is unknown what they talked about, but when Xu You left, he was quite calm and calm, as if he had gained a lot.

Before winter, Xu You hurried back to Jizhou, and explained the process in detail, without avoiding the important ones, deliberately shirking responsibility.

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard the words:
"Son Li Yao, this is threatening me, it's also threatening me, hateful, really hateful, he made Gongsun Zan the shepherd of Youzhou, he took my nephew to Chang'an, he is against me everywhere, against me everywhere, When Hebei is unified in the future, we must hold another alliance to fight against the traitors!"

Xu You took the opportunity to say again:

"Minggong, there are loyal ministers around the emperor. They are planning to rescue the emperor from the customs. If we can cooperate with the inside and outside, rescue the emperor and bring him to Jizhou, we can take Gongsun Zan's Youzhou shepherd with just one sentence. There are many people in the state who are dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan, and the unification of Hebei is just around the corner..."

"On the other hand, Li Yao, he is only relying on the Son of Heaven to restrain the land of the four states. Otherwise, how could so many scholars be willing to be driven by him..."

"If you get the Son of Heaven, you can get everything!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes widened, and he felt both surprised and happy. Now that he hasn't defeated Gongsun Zan, and he hasn't unified Hebei yet, the emperor still has a very high value in his eyes:
"Is this news accurate?"

Seeing Yuan Shao's heartbeat, Xu You knew that the opportunity to perform meritorious service had come again, nodded his head heavily, and said firmly:
"Absolutely accurate, Duke Ming must not hesitate!!"

Yuan Shao was indeed moved, but he didn't express his opinion immediately:
"Let me think, let me think..."

At the same time, Guanzhong, Chang'an!

As the first batch of grain was delivered to Guanzhong, Gan Ning also followed, and he was brought in front of Li Yao.

Li Yao looked at Gan Ning and said:

"Xingba, your matter, Huang Hua, governor of Berkshire, and Cheng Gongying, governor of Yizhou, also wrote to me. In the past year, you have been sweeping up bandits and water bandits everywhere in Jiangzhou. I approve of it. , you are not an ordinary ranger, you are a hero, you can compete with famous generals in the world!"

Gan Ning was quite excited when he heard the words, because Li Yao is a famous, first-class, and capable general who can fight well. To be recognized by Li Yao made him feel great satisfaction:
"Thank you General!"

At this time Li Yao said:
"Because of your merits, I can transfer you to Chang'an to serve as a powerful school lieutenant, but now that there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, the court is empty, and there will be no battles in a short period of time, so there is no chance of meritorious service..."

Immediately, Li Yao changed the topic:
"Or, you can also go back to Jiangzhou, and I will let you be the commander of the navy. Although the current commander of the navy does not have a formal establishment, I can give you the greatest support. I will let you recruit Jiangshang Shanshuierlang to form a navy. Transfer all the ships in Yizhou to your command and form a fleet. In the future, this army will be on the river and become a water fortress, with nowhere to go..."

"How much credit you can make, how much promotion you can get, whether you want to be the captain of Hengjiang, or the general of Hengjiang, or even the general of Hengjiang, it all depends on yourself..."

"Now, do you choose?"

Gan Ning became short of breath, and finally he said firmly:
"General, I am willing to be the captain of the navy!"
