"No!" Qin Banruo smiled and walked out.

Liu Rui got up from the reclining chair, changed his coat under the service of Li Shishi and Xiahou Qingyi, packed up and came to the council hall.

"Meet the lord!"

Just as Liu Rui walked into the council hall, the four of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down. What's the matter with the four of you today?" Liu Rui said with a slight smile.

The four people who had just sat down glanced at each other, and Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the lord, the three counties of Dai, Shanggu, and Guangyang have surrendered to the lord a few days ago under the deterrence of Yue Shuai. Owning the land of seven counties, its strength is already the best among the princes in the world. Changshan County, as the base of our army, is actually a little small. After I discussed with Changsu, Gongda and Fengxiao these days, I always felt that it was time to expand Changshan. The city of the county government."

"Well, what Wen Ruo said makes sense, but where did the construction labor come from?" Liu Rui asked.

Qin Banruo smiled slightly and stepped forward and said: "Qi, lord, if it is normal, it may be difficult, but Banruo has just received information that Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun have already captured Zhao County and subdued a large number of Montenegrin troops. How about there are tens of thousands of Montenegro? The relatives of the military are going to move into Changshan County, and the lord only needs to pay them, and they are ready-made laborers. Moreover, the expansion of the county government is also solving their living problems, so naturally there will be no complaints.”

"When will Xue Li's battle report be delivered? Has Liu Bei caught it?" Liu Rui said with great joy.Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Mei Changsu also had happy expressions on their faces.

Qin Banruo said: "Xue Shuai's battle report will be delivered the day after tomorrow. The three brothers Liu Bei led thousands of soldiers and horses to flee into the territory of Qingzhou. Xue Shuai and General Zilong failed to capture the three of them alive."

Hearing that the three Liu Bei brothers could not be captured, Liu Rui was slightly disappointed.

"There is another piece of information about Yuan Shao that needs to be reported to the lord." Qin Banruo said.

"you say!"

Qin Banruo said, "Recently, Yuan Shao got a counselor and wrote a letter to contact Gongsun Zan to jointly plan Jizhou. Yesterday, Yuan Shao's messenger should have entered Yuyang territory. Today, he should see Gongsun Zan." , . . .

196: Han Fu who listened to slander

"Haha... that's really stupid." Liu Rui said angrily.

Qin Banruo asked, "My lord, should we intervene in this matter?"

"Collaborating with Yuan Benchu ​​is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. I have never seen such a stupid person before. Let him do whatever he wants! We don't need to pay attention to Gongsun Zan for the time being." Liu Rui said with a cold snort.

"No!" Qin Banruo said in response.

Liu Rui rubbed his head and said, "Wen Ruo, the matter about the expansion of Changshan County will be left to you, and you will draw up a complete plan and give it to me!"

"My subordinates obey!" Xun Yu said in a salute.

Yecheng.

"My lord, there was a stranger who claimed to be your former friend who came to visit!" Xin Ping had just returned from Han Fu's mansion, when the servants of the mansion hurriedly came forward and reported.

"Old friend? Invite him in!" Xin Ping frowned and thought for a while, but did not think of which of his old friends said.

"No!" Jiading turned and walked out.

Not long after, a middle-aged scribe in his thirties walked in with the servant.

"Zhongzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" The scribe stepped forward and slightly bowed his hands.

Xin Ping was overjoyed when he saw the person coming.

He laughed and took his arm and said, "Youruo, didn't you serve under Yuan Benchu's command? Why did you come to Yecheng today?"

This middle-aged scholar is none other than Xun Chen and Xun Youruo of Yingchuan, a counselor under Yuan Shao.

Xun Chen was Xun Yu's cousin. When Xun Yu left Yuan Shao's men that day, Xun Chen didn't follow him and still left Yuan Shao's men.

Xun Chen said with a smile: "Jizhou will soon be in danger. Zhongzhi and I have been friends since we were young. Naturally, I can't bear to see Zhongzhi suffer this disaster under Han Fu's command, so I'm here to tell you!"

"Youruo, don't be joking!" Xin Ping said with a smile.

Xun Chen restrained his smile and said, "Zhongzhi, do you think I came here from Bohai just to make a joke with you?"

"Youruo, could it be that Jizhou is really in trouble?" Xin Ping suddenly groaned when he saw Xun Chen's expression that didn't seem like a joke.

Xun Chen took out a letter and handed it to Xin Ping and said, "This is the information that my lord's secret agent has just obtained from Peiping. Gongsun Zan has withdrawn his troops from Yuyang County yesterday and is ready to attack Yecheng!"

"hiss……"

Xin Ping took a deep breath when he heard the words.

"Gongsun Zan is going to attack our city of Ye? It's unlikely." Xin Ping was still a little unbelievable.

Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zan has already betrothed his daughter Gongsun Baoyue to Liu Rui, the governor of Changshan County, and the two are already in-laws. The two of them destroyed Liu Yu's equal division of Youzhou, and the world knows it. Gongsun Zan now gives up the attack. Gongsun Du of Liaodong, led his troops back to Peiping, who do you think he is planning to fight? Who is the weakest in Youzhou and Jizhou now? Don't these Zhongzhi have any idea?"

"Youruo, follow me to the governor's mansion to meet my lord!" After Xin Ping heard Xun Chen's words, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He now completely believed Xun Chen's words, and without the slightest hesitation, he pulled Xun Chen and turned the door and got on the carriage to go to Han Fu's house.

Soon two people came to the front of the governor's house.

"Lord Xin!" The bodyguards guarding the gate of the Prefect's Mansion were very familiar with Xin Ping.

Heartbroken, Xin Ping waved his hands to the guards who were saluting him and said, "Where's your lord?"

"Master Qi, the lord went back to the backyard to rest." The guard replied.

Xin Ping said anxiously, "Go and call the housekeeper now."

A guard hurried into the mansion, and not long after that, the guard ran over with a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Han San has met Lord Xin!" The middle-aged man came to Xin Ping and bowed.Although he was Han Fu's housekeeper, he didn't dare to offend Han Fu's popularity with Zhongxin.He knew very well that his master paid more attention to his advisors than he could compare to.

Xin Ping said anxiously: "Han San, you go to the backyard to inform the lord immediately, and say that I Xin Ping asked him to discuss the urgent military affairs!"

"No! I'll go now." Han San still listened to Xin Ping's words very much, and quickly ran to the backyard to meet Han Fu.
