The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178 Don't Be Too Indulgent
Leading Yuan Xu and Guo Jia into the house, Cheng Yu ordered his servants to prepare dishes.

Guo Jia opened the wine bottle and handed it to him: "Mr. Cheng heard about it."

Cheng Yu took a sniff, the wine smelled strong, he had never smelled such a mellow wine.

"My lord can even brew this kind of wine." Cheng Yu said, "If you send it to the market, wouldn't it be a sky-high price?"

"The craftsmanship is complicated, and if I don't sell it at a sky-high price, wouldn't I be at a big loss?" Yuan Xu replied with a smile, "I actually didn't come here to drink, but to ask Zhong De about something else."

"Young Master, what you want to ask is the news about Liaodong?" Cheng Yu was clear about it, so he explained the words first.

Yuan Xu nodded: "What I want to ask is about Liaodong."

"Gongsun Du in Liaodong is seriously ill, and now it is Gongsun Kang who is in charge." Cheng Yu replied, "I went to persuade Gongsun Kang to send troops, but not only did he not agree, but he even ordered me to be tied up and sent to Hebei, which shows that he is afraid of you. .”

When Cheng Yu mentioned being tied up by Gongsun Kang, Yuan Xu laughed: "I wronged Zhongde."

"It's not your own fault." Cheng Yu sighed and shook his head: "Back when I followed Cao Mengde, I did not cause trouble for the young master."

"If you didn't cause me trouble at that time, I wouldn't dare to reuse it." Yuan Xu said: "The more trouble you cause me, the more capable you are. I like people who are capable. If you give me A bunch of mediocre people, even if I get the world, who can help me keep it?"

Looking at Yuan Xu in astonishment, Cheng Yu looked bewildered.

He didn't expect Yuan Xu to be so magnanimous towards these people under Cao Cao's command.

"My lord!" Cheng Yu stood up and bowed to Yuan Xu, "I would like to go to Liaodong again to persuade Gongsun Kang to surrender."

"Of course you're going." Yuan Xu replied, "But you're not going alone, but with me."

Cheng Yu looked confused and asked Yuan Xu, "Master, do you want to go in person?"

"Even though Liaodong is a tiny place, it is very important." Yuan Xu replied, "If you allow Gongsun Kang to grow up there, it will be a disaster sooner or later. Of course, the sooner it is resolved, the better."

"The whole of the north must be resolved as soon as possible." Cheng Yu said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang are self-reliant. With the support of the Qiang people, they have not paid tribute to the court for many years. If they are allowed to grow, they will It's more troublesome than Liaodong."

"Cao Mengde also told me about this." Yuan Xu nodded: "I'm also thinking about it, and it's indeed time to establish rules."

"Ma Teng has a son, Ma Chao, who is extremely brave. You can take him hostage in Yecheng." Cheng Yu said, "Without Ma Chao, even if Ma Teng wants to abandon the court, his strength will be weakened by half."

"Xiliang, I want to go in person." Yuan Xu replied: "The world has been in conflict for many years, heroes have risen everywhere, and Ma Teng and Han Sui have occupied Xiliang for many years. If they are not allowed to see something, they will definitely not give in easily."

"Young master said that it would take too much time just to go to Xiliang." Cheng Yu frowned.

Yuan Xu also frowned.

His sitting unicorn was fast, but if he was asked to go to Xiliang alone, he lost all momentum.

I have to find a way to get some fast horses...

Just thinking about it, the voice of the magic voice echoed in his ears: "Congratulations, my lord, you have started the mount mission."

Yuan Xu was stunned.

Where is this going?
Why did you start the mount mission again...

He asked the magic voice in his heart: "Where is the mount task completed?"

"The lord already has an idea, and sooner or later he will enter the mission." The magic voice replied: "The specific opening place needs to be found by the lord himself."

"You're getting more and more fooled now." Yuan Xu murmured, "Just start the mission, and don't even tell me where it is. Where do you want me to find it?"

"Since it is a task, of course it will become more and more difficult." The magic voice replied: "Don't worry, my lord, it will be opened sooner or later."

After leaving this sentence, the magic sound disappeared.

Yuan Xu was still in a daze, wondering where he could start the mount mission.

What are the mounts obtained from the mission...

He didn't speak for a while, Cheng Yu tentatively asked: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Yuan Xu was taken aback, and Cheng Yu smiled: "It's nothing, I just thought of something by chance."

"When is your master going to Liaodong?" Cheng Yu asked again.

"I'll leave in two days." Yuan Xu replied, "I just returned to Yecheng, and I still have to take care of some things here."

"When the young master is about to leave, just say hello." Cheng Yu said, "I will do my best for the young master."

After leaving Cheng Yu's residence, Yuan Xu thought of another person.

He asked Guo Jia: "What happened to Xu Zhongkang?"

Guo Jia replied: "He also joined the prince. He couldn't believe it when he learned that Cao Mengde was defeated and captured, and he has become the master of the prince."

"A general with extraordinary bravery is probably a single-minded person." Yuan Xu ordered: "Invite him to my study later."

Guo Jia agreed, and ordered a guard to invite Xu Chu.

Back in the mansion, Yuan Xu and Guo Jia waited for Xu Chu to arrive in the study together.

Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Xu learned about recent events in Hebei from Guo Jia.

The two were talking, when the guard reported, "My lord, Xu Zhongkang has arrived."

"Please come in." Yuan Xu ordered.

The guard led Xu Chu into the study.

Seeing Yuan Xu, Xu Chu bowed.

Yuan Xu got up and said to him: "Zhongkang doesn't need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

"I won't sit." Xu Chu answered simply.

"What? Could it be that I offended Zhongkang?" Yuan Xu asked him with a smile.

"No." Xu Chu replied, "I offended you, Young Master."

"Oh?" Yuan Xu asked Xu Chu with surprise on his face, "When did Zhongkang offend me? Why don't I remember?"

"My lord doesn't remember, but I do." Xu Chu replied, "At the time when your lord surrendered, I refused to die..."

"That's Zhongkang's love for Cao Mengde." Yuan Xu replied, "Back when Feng Xiao and others voted for me, didn't they also bargain with me?"

Guo Jia smiled when he mentioned that he went to Yuan Xu.

Xu Chu was puzzled: "What price did Feng Xiao ask for for taking refuge with the young master?"

"They will not be enemies of Cao Mengde." Yuan Xu replied him directly.

Xu Chu couldn't believe it and asked, "My lord agreed?"

"Of course I agree." Yuan Xu replied: "Either kill them, or agree to the conditions and take them under his command. Does Zhongkang think there is any reason for me not to agree?"

"Since I voted, let me mention these things." Xu Chu scratched his head: "I don't quite understand..."

"Feng Xiao and others use their methods to prove loyalty." Yuan Xu said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang is also using your method. Loyal and righteous people are always rare, so why would I take revenge on you because of this?"

Xu Chu finally understood what Yuan Xu meant.

He said to Yuan Xu: "My lord doesn't hold grudges, but I will remember them. Now I can't repay you. When I go to the battlefield in the future, I will definitely not disappoint my lord."
