Li Ru didn't believe Wang Yue. Now that Chencang was sealed, Li Ru could only use the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an as bargaining chips to negotiate terms with Liu Han if he wanted to survive. Outside Chang'an City, Liu Han became more confident in taking over Chang'an since he got in touch with Wang Yue. "One month is enough. Is there any news from the east?" Jia Xu and Guo Jia put down their official duties. The east that Liu Han mentioned was naturally the princes of Shandong. Jia Xu: "My Lord, the latest information from Brother Zhongde is that Cao Cao wants to use Yuan Shao's power to completely occupy Yanzhou, while Liu Bei wants to use Gongsun Zan as the vanguard to capture Qingzhou." Although Cheng Yu was not among the first to join Liu Han's command, even Xi Zhicai could not compare with him in terms of intelligence decision-making. Therefore, in addition to being the general commander of the foreign strategy in the north, Cheng Yu was also the person in charge of the entire intelligence work. "Oh?" Liu Han could guess Cao Cao's plan to capture Yanzhou, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to join the competition. "Liu Xuande is interesting. Without the cloak of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he is so ambitious!" Jia Xu looked at Liu Han and knew better than anyone else that his lord was always targeting Liu Bei openly or covertly, especially the clan members of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, he regarded the orthodox descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan as "Treason" has been raised, who dares to admit it?

"what about others?"

"Tao Qian of Xuzhou seems to have contracted an illness. His two sons will not become great men. In the future, Xuzhou will have to share the food with others." Liu Han: "Is Tao Qian sick?" Jia Xu: "Yes." Liu Han: "If people keep an eye on it, we may have another chance to benefit from it." Jia Xu took the order. Guo Jia: "Lü Bu escaped from Wuguan and now fled to Nanyang. Liu Biao took him in. Lü Bu may gain a foothold in Nanyang." "But this is not unexpected. Although Yuan Shu suffered a defeat in Nanyang, Yuan Shu is still stronger than Liu Biao. Putting Lu Bu in Nanyang can prevent Lu Bu from harming Jingzhou and let Lu Bu block Yuan Shu for him." Liu Han: "I'm afraid that Lu Bu's ambition is not small, and Liu Biao will suffer backlash." Guo Jia: "I heard that after Lu Bu fled to Nanyang, a counselor named Chen Gong joined him." "Chen Gong?" Liu Han didn't expect to hear his name at this time, "Is it Chen Gong, the former magistrate of Zhongmu County?" "Lord, do you know this person?" "Oh, I even sent people to look for him, but I couldn't find him. I didn't expect to go to Lu Bu's place." "What about Chen Gong?" What Guo Jia and Jia Xu admire most is Liu Han's ability to recognize people. Those who can catch his eye are very capable. The Lord knows Chen Gong, which means that Chen Gong may be a difficult opponent. "He has some grudges with Cao Mengde. As Lu Bu's adviser, he will definitely make suggestions, but I think he will still make trouble for Cao Cao." Liu Han thought for a moment: "Tell Zhang Yan that the Yellow Turbans from Yanzhou can be brought back, as much as they can be brought back." "As ordered." With Zhang Ning's support, Liu Han secretly directed the Yellow Turbans to raid the place. Zhang Yan has been following orders all these years, and it's time for her to return.

Moreover, Zhang Yan does not have the appeal and convincing power of Zhang Jiao. After Zhang Ning left, the internal division has been divided. Now, if Zhang Yan retreats, the remaining disobedient Yellow Turbans can be destroyed. "Cao Cao is bound to capture Yanzhou. What about Yuan Shao? Is Yuan Shao willing to stay under someone else's wing?" "My lord, Yuan Shao's retreat is either to return south to his hometown in Runan, but this will involve a conflict with Yuan Shu, or to cross the river and occupy Jiangdong." "Well, guess what Yuan Shao will do?" "I guess Yuan Shao will have a conflict with Yuan Shu. This arrogant fourth generation and third prince will not allow himself to go south in despair." Guo Jia: "Tsk, together with Lu Bu and Cao Cao, we have a lot to do!" "Hahahaha!" #

The three of them were discussing the future situation of the princes in Shandong. Suddenly soldiers came to report and an envoy from Chang'an came to visit. “Messenger?” Liu Han was confused, he didn't let Wang Yue take this step. "Lord, the envoys call themselves Yang Biao and Ma Rixi." "Ok?" Liu Han didn't expect these two people to come. "Please come in first." Jia Xu: "My lord, this must be Li Ru's own initiative. It seems that he also has his own plans." Yang Biao and Ma Rixi stood upright and waited quietly outside the military camp. Since they were at odds with Liu Han, they didn't really want to deal with him. However, last night was too terrible. Several families wanted to do justice. After being slaughtered, Li Ru specifically warned the two of them that if they had second thoughts again, they would be a lesson to others. Come to think of it, the little tricks in private were discovered and treated as a chicken worshiping the monkey. "Wen Xian (characterized by Yang Biao), we." "Uncle Weng (characterized by Ma Rixi), there is no other way. If we don't agree to Li Ru, we will die." "Ugh!" Ma Rixi let out a long sigh. In just two years, Chao Gang had been corrupted to such an extent that even the emperor...

"We were wrong at the beginning." Yang Biao: "So what if I'm wrong, the top priority is to get things done first. He just asked us to negotiate. Whether the negotiation can be successful, or what the outcome of the negotiation is, is his business." Yang Biao felt that whether he could go in and see Liu Han was a problem. Suddenly, a soldier came over and said, "Your Highness, please come in." The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They could go in and explain that they still had something to talk about. #

Yang Biao (Ma Rixi): "My minister Yang Biao (Ma Rixi) pays homage to His Highness." Liu Han: "Rare visitors! Why did you two come here today?" When Liu Han heard that these two people were sent by Li Ru, of course he would not give them a good look. Yang Biao knew that he was at odds with Liu Han, but he still adjusted his mentality: "Your Highness, Li Ru wants to negotiate with you."

"Huh? Negotiation? Is he, Li Ru, qualified? Now that all escape routes have been cut off and only the isolated city of Chang'an is left, what can he do to negotiate with me?" It was only a matter of time before the city of Chang'an was broken. What Liu Han wanted was to annihilate this Xiliang army and eliminate the remaining troops in Dong Zhuo's hands so that he could attack Liangzhou. Yang Biao: "Your Highness doesn't know something. Last night Li Ru caused a bloody storm in the city and bloodbathed several families." Liu Han: "Just kill him. If you invest in the wrong person, you will have to bear the price of backlash. What do you want to do with me?" No matter how many nobles die, Liu Han won't feel bad, because when the old nobles die, new ones will appear. Ma Rixi also smiled bitterly, this man was cruel to the nobles, "Alas! Your Highness does not know something. Li Ru said that if Your Highness does not agree to his request, then all the people of Chang'an will be buried with him!" "Dare he?!" Liu Han was angry. The reason why he delayed attacking Chang'an was because he was afraid of involving innocent people. "If Li Wenyou dares to massacre the people of Chang'an, I guarantee that after the city is broken, he will not be able to live or die!" Yang Biao: "May I ask, Your Highness, those who were massacred last night were not the people of Chang'an?" Liu Han: "I just said that they chose the wrong person." Yang Biao: “That’s no choice!” Liu Han: "When the emperor's brother passed away, were you the first to tell him to let Dong Zhuo go to Luoyang? Were you the ones who told him to let Dong Zhuo go to Luoyang?" Yang Biao: "." Liu Han: "Don't think that I don't know what you wanted to do back then!" (End of Chapter)
