Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 239 Conspiracy
Liu He changed his tone and said, "I completely trust what you said, Ranger. Not only do I agree with your proposal, but I will also let both of you go!"

This time, not to mention the You brothers, even Cui Jun was shocked.

"My lord, this cannot happen! These two were instigated by someone to oppose our army. If we let them go rashly, I'm afraid..."

Liu He didn't care.

"Since I dare to let them go, I naturally have enough confidence in them."

After being surprised, You Lang and You Ming couldn't help but look moved.

"Sir, aren't you afraid that after we go out, we will continue to sabotage your army in secret, or even assassinate your commander? Although my brothers are not strong enough to deal with you and your brothers, if we plan well in secret, those ordinary generals will never be our opponents!"

Liu He smiled, looking nonchalant.

"My Anmin Army is in the process of forming a new army. If you really sabotage us secretly, just treat it as a test for our army. How can I, Yanmen, a righteous army of 90,000, be afraid of some small tricks? Moreover..."

Liu He suddenly looked You Lang in the eye and said word by word: "If I can catch you once, I can definitely catch you a second time!"

You Lang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud towards the sky.

"Hahaha! Great! What a great Anmin Army, what a great Liu He. Hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person. I, You Lang, have never admired anyone in my life, but today I have to say I admire you!"

After saying that, You Lang suddenly knelt on the ground and swore to the sky: "I, You Lang, swear here that after I go out, I will find out the truth of everything. If I really wronged Lord Liu, I will come back again and apologize! Before that, if Lord Liu is injured, I, You Lang, will injure myself in his place! If Lord Liu dies, I, You Lang, will also commit suicide to thank him! If you break this oath, both heaven and earth will kill you!"

Seeing this, You Ming also knelt down and made the same oath.

"You two are too polite! Liu always keeps his word, whether in the army or on weekdays. You two can leave now."

After saying that, Liu He called the jailer, opened the cell door, and then took out a wooden sign from his arms.

"This token will allow your brother to leave the city smoothly."

You Lang's hands were trembling slightly as he took the wooden sign respectfully and put it carefully into his arms.

"Sir Liu has an open mind, which makes me feel ashamed. No matter what the final result of the investigation is, I will visit you in person and explain it to you!"

Liu He smiled and said, "Of course I trust you two. Please do as you please."

You Lang and You Ming solemnly bowed to Liu He and said goodbye, then left the cell.

Cui Jun looked at the two men's backs as they left and said, "My lord, do you want to subdue these two?"

"Haha, the one who knows me best is my military advisor. I wonder what the military advisor thinks of this pair of brothers?"

Cui Jun nodded slightly: "They are loyal and righteous. Even among the wandering knights, such a character is rare. Moreover, the two of them are very famous. If we can really recruit them, the help will definitely not be as simple as just getting two people."

"Military advisor, what you said is right. It is precisely because of this that I dare to take the risk of letting them go. If you tempt such people with money and fame, it will only backfire. Only by playing hard to get can you win their hearts."

"Well, my lord, you have a keen insight into people's hearts and are very wise."

"Military advisor, please stop laughing at me. Let's go. During this period, many people have fled here from all over the country. Most of them are Xianbei slaves who escaped from the north. Yinguan City and Guangwu City have limited land. How to resettle them needs to be discussed with the military advisor, Guangyuan, Mengjian, and Zixi."

After they left the cell, they went to the prefect's mansion to discuss matters. Liu He was in a good mood, but Wang Chen encountered a very difficult problem.

At this time in the Beijia Mansion, Wang Chen and the dozen or so family members gathered together again, and everyone had a very ugly look on their faces.

"Fellow family heads, we have lost contact with all the dozens of spies we sent to Yanmen. I am afraid the situation has changed."

Wang Chen's face was filled with anxiety. He could no longer sit still and paced back and forth in the room.

A family head consoled him, "Nephew Wang, don't worry. The disappearance of these spies may not be a bad thing. Even if they were discovered and eliminated by Liu He, we can just send another group of people over."

Another family head retorted, "No. If these people were really eliminated or captured by Liu He, it means that he already knows of our existence. We have always insisted on acting in secret, so that even if something unexpected happens, it will not cause harm to the family. Liu He's power is growing too fast. In just one year, he has grown from a small county magistrate to a border governor with nearly 100,000 soldiers. It is not a wise choice to expose our identities and openly become his enemy under the current circumstances."

"What are you afraid of? We are not as easy to bully as those small families he dealt with before. If he really wants to fight openly, we may not be afraid of him."

"It's a good thing that Patriarch Zheng is very courageous. But now Liu He is no longer as powerful as he used to be, and more than a dozen of our families are scattered all over the place. If he is really determined to deal with us, he only needs to send a force of 10,000 people to wipe us out one by one, so we should be prepared early."

"Brother Zhang is right. In my opinion, we should jointly ask the ministers in the court to disperse his forces as soon as possible and transfer them to Liang, You, Ji and other places to deal with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. In this way, we will have nothing to worry about."

This person's suggestion received support from many people.

"Master Jia is indeed very resourceful. This is a very good idea!"

Wang Chen also echoed: "That's it. I will write a letter of divorce immediately and ask my uncle to petition the court. He will say that it is difficult to suppress the rebellion in Yuzhou and ask the court to allocate troops from neighboring states and counties to help!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Everyone agreed.

Unexpectedly, a dissenting voice emerged at this time.

"This is inappropriate!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen. Why does Mr. Chen think that Patriarch Jia's proposal is not feasible?"

Old Chen stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

"What do you think will be the final outcome of these petitions after they are presented to the court?"

Everyone looked at each other, seemingly not understanding what Mr. Chen meant by this question.

"This shouldn't be hard to guess. Liu He doesn't belong to any faction. He is unique and leads his own faction. Allowing it to develop too fast is against the interests of many aristocratic families. Moreover, many ministers in the court have close ties with us. They will definitely strongly recommend this method to the court."

"Although there are still Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Cui Lie and others in the court who will speak for him, their power is ultimately weak. In the end, Liu He's power will definitely be divided into several parts. It is estimated that the number of people left in Bingzhou will not exceed 40,000, or even less."

"Yes, by then his forces will be dispersed, which means he will have to face the Yellow Turbans, bandits, and the Xianbei in the north with an army of more than 90,000. In addition, Zhang Yan was trapped and murdered by him this time, and he will definitely look for a chance to take revenge. I don't believe he can survive this!"
