Hebei, Liaodong.

Since Yuan Shang quelled the rebellion between the Gongsun clan and Liu He in Liaodong, Liaodong has been a key border area in the four prefectures of Hebei. Under the leadership of Tian Yu, the important minister of Yuan's army, the army was engaged in military operations, integrated foreign tribes, built cities, and planted land. The rapid development was shocking. Of course, this was guided by the correct strategy made by Yuan Shang, and of course the hard work and contribution of the actual operator Tian Yu was indispensable.

About a year ago, Liaodong, which was developing vigorously, quietly welcomed a guest named Li. This man was a merchant and acted very low-key. He bought an outside house outside the city of Liaodong, and then lived there. He usually did business and freight between domestic and overseas. In modern terms, it was express logistics. Over the past period, he had made a good fortune in the big business and became a huge business in Liaodong, with a wealth of more than 100 million yuan.

But strangely, since this giant came, Liaodong has always suffered disasters every now and then. Either they were looted by bandits, or they were fired from important facilities in the city, or they were caused by the aliens who moved inwardly, or even the newly reclaimed fields were deliberately destroyed and ravaged... In short, Liaodong has not stopped for the past year, and there have been troubles all the time, which made Liaodong prefect Tian Yu burned his eyebrows at any time, and was very embarrassed.

In this way, Liaodong, which has been developing steadily, has stagnated during this year and has been hindered unprecedentedly, as if there was an invisible black hand in secret, quietly tearing apart the good situation in the Northeast.

Outside the city of Liaodong, in the house of a merchant named Li...

The merchant named Li was very luxurious. Not only did he build a large house, but he also built a small bridge-like pond in the courtyard, which was filled with fish fry. On weekdays, he could not only enjoy the fishing pleasure in his spare time.

On this day, Li Ke Shang was fishing in the courtyard, but a servant came to report that it was Tian Yu, the prefect of Liaodong, who came to visit him on a secret road.

When Mr. Li heard this, his hand holding the boom seemed to shake without leaving any trace. Then he thought for a while and said, "Please come in."

When he was young, Tian Yu, the prefect of Liaodong, strode to the pond in the courtyard under the leadership of the housekeeper.

Mr. Li raised his head and looked at Tian Yu. The two looked at each other for a while. However, Tian Yu laughed first.

"You can enjoy fishing in this big pool...Li Ru."

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, but although he laughed, he was obviously in a bad mood when he looked at Tian Yu, and a big word "chuan" was squeezed out from his forehead.

Although he didn't want to see Tian Yu, he came after all, and Li Ru couldn't say anything. Then he handed Tian Yu a fishing rod and sighed: "The days are very comfortable, but when you appear, it means that my good days are over."

At that time, Yuan saw that Li Ru had a rebellious letter written by the emperor to Song Jian. He moved slightly and immediately subdued Li Ru and agreed to give him a sunny road. However, he proposed a condition for him to find a way to help deal with the Emperor of Luoyang. He asked Li Ru to come to Liaodong, contact the Emperor of the Emperor, and stop in Liaodong. He secretly cooperated with Tian Yu.

Li Ru was vicious and wise. After he arrived in Liaodong, he immediately secretly sent his close confidants to contact the emperor in Luoyang, saying that he wanted to join forces with the emperor to deal with Yuan Shang, and only hoped that after the matter would be successful, the emperor would be able to agree to the promise that year. Forgive his guilt of poisoning the emperor and let him return to his hometown.

At that time, Li Ru had committed suicide by poisoning the young emperor from Dong Zhuo, and later he had committed suicide by following Song Jian to rebel against the court. It was a thorn in the eyes of the princes in the world and a thorn in the flesh. In the heart of the emperor, it was impossible for anyone in the world to accept Li Ru, and Yuan Shang was even more impossible! Moreover, Song Jian died at Yuan Shang's hands, which could be said that Yuan Shang broke Li Ru's last barrier to shelter, so Liu Xie felt that Yuan Shang and Li Ru should have different hatreds. In addition, the right to pardon Li Ru was in his hands. Liu Xie believed that most of Li Ru was truly united with him...

Joining with the Tian family is undoubtedly the best choice for a mouse like Li Ru who crossed the street.

So Li Ru asked Liu Xie for a sealed edict of pardon. Of course, Liu Xie could not really give him the edict. He needed Li Ru to make some achievements to show him, and Li Ru was just taking advantage of the situation to push the boat.

In view of Liu Xie's care, Li Ru secretly joined forces with Tian Yu in Liaodong. On the surface, he was a businessman, but in fact he recruited soldiers in Liaodong as an "anti-Yuan" and destroyed the rear. Because Liaodong is the largest border of the Yuan family in the northeast and one of the important pilot projects for Yuan Shang to integrate foreign tribes. If he wants to gain the complete trust of Liu Xie, making trouble in Liaodong is undoubtedly the best choice.

Tian Yu also followed Yuan Shang's order and cooperated with Li Ru with all his strength. Over the years, Li Ru has been sabotaging Liaodong. Not only did Tian Yu not have any choice but to inquire on the surface, he also secretly provided great assistance...

The prefect is still like this, and it is conceivable that the development of Liaodong has been stagnant and has not counted on it, and it has even slightly regressed compared to the previous few years.

Tian Yu secretly supported Li Ru's gold and silk, asking him to bribe the Xianbei who were trying to integrate into the Han people in Liaodong. Tian Yu also had his own little plan in his heart. It happened to take advantage of this big action to pull out a group of uneasy elements from the alien race through Li Ru's hands, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, which is a once-for-all move.

In this way, Li Ru wanted money and people, and became a vaguely black and white, bright and dark. The two of them appeared to be a relationship between soldiers and thieves, and they were secretly competing with each other, but in fact they were colleagues, who were echoing each other and cooperated continuously.

The two sat together and were fishing. After a little pass, they saw Tian Yu pulling the fishing rod hard, and a big fish was pulled from a distance by him.

"Haha, OK!" Tian Yu happily considered the fish he caught in his hand and said, "The fish has grown up, it's time to close the net!"

Li Ru's body trembled slightly, glanced at Tian Yu with a squint eyes and said, "What do you mean... what do you mean?"

Tian Yu threw the fish he caught into the fish basket, then handed Li Ru a letter and said, "Look at it yourself, the lord will send a letter, let us cooperate with him to close the net."

Li Ru was shocked when he heard this and said, "The lord just conquered the Central Plains, so he immediately turned his attention here without stopping..."

After taking the letter handed over by Tian Yu, Li Ru's expression changed suddenly after reading it carefully.

"Good guy! The lord's website this time is very big. Not only the Emperor of Luoyang, but also the Xun clan of Yingchuan and Liaodong are all listed among them! Is this... OK?"

Tian Yu smiled and said, "My lord has always been bold in his actions! Either don't do it or do it, you can do it beautifully. We have been struggling in Liaodong for more than a year, and it's almost time to do it. Otherwise, we will always keep making trouble with you like this, and I, Liaodong County, will not advance but retreat, and will always be so hungry, and we can't develop it?"

Li Ru thought about it and said, "Although the reason is this, the things that the lord said in the credibility of the lord must have a reason. If you don't do it seriously, I'm afraid that the Luoyang side will not be able to do. The losses we have during this period will be in vain... Don't forget that there is Xu Shu by the little emperor!"

When Tian Yu heard this, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry. We have an ally who can help us achieve this."

Li Ru thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Who?"

"Tuoba Liwei!"

"He? He is a smart person! I heard that when the lord went to the north of the West and faced the Three Kings, he could stand on the side of the lord without hesitation. This also made him from a small chief to the number one person who has now rectified the north of the West! Now he is still intimidating the countries in the Western Regions for us. To be honest, Tuoba Liwei's power has developed greatly outside Xinjiang, and he no longer needs to interfere with the matters in the Middle Earth to seek welfare for himself."

Tian Yu smiled and said, "You are right. Tuoba Liwei was weak back then, so he joined forces with his lord and promoted him. Now he is strong. Although he is in good faith, he may not be involved in the matters of China Earth. However, Tuoba Liwei has one advantage, that is, he is brave, which is why he dared to openly support his lord and the Three Kings' tribe back then... The lord means. As long as there are enough benefits, what a rebellious thing, you are not afraid of them not daring to do it!"

Li Ru: “…………”

***************************

Overseas, Tuoba Liwei tribe.

Tuoba Li, who was sitting in the central army tent, touched his beard slightly and quietly looked at the letters sent by Yuan Shang. The light in his eyes flashed, as if he was hesitating and as if he was measuring.

Below is Tian Chou, the important official recommended by Tian Yu and submitted to Yuan's family.

Looking at Tuoba Li's face, Tian Chou smiled slightly and said, "Da Shanyu, you and my family have always been in good terms since they fought against the Three Kings. They have been working together for many years. At that time, our general was in Hebei and ranked behind Cao Cao, and the Da Shanyu was just a valley of the grassland, with no glory. But since you and my family united, look at the current situation, the general is a generation of grassland kings that crisscross the desert and connect to the Western Regions, and our general is the world's number one prince who occupies the middle ground. Now the two families are strong, and it is time for them to unite again. Why should the Da Shanyu hesitate?"

Tuoba Li smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​I am not intimidated. Over the years, although my king has grown stronger, he has never forgotten the kindness of the general. Whenever the general has something to do, I will definitely be willing to take the stone arrows and take the last time the general asked us to attack the Wusun countries. I have nothing to say and am willing to follow the general's leader, but..."

Speaking of this, Tuoba Li smiled bitterly and said, "It's just this time that it's related to your private disputes within Middle-earth. I... seem to be inconvenient to intervene, right?"

Tian Chou smiled and shook his head and said, "The Great Khan is really going back and forth. The general takes action to block the north, fight against the Three Kings, and conquer the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu tribes in the mainland. Is it also a private dispute between us? It seems that everything has a reason for everything in the world, but in fact it is not! It's just to follow the trend. The Great Khan is now the overlord of the Great Khan. Don't you want to take this opportunity to do something bigger and shocking?"

Tuoba Li blinked in a daze and said, "What is the bigger thing that sir said means..."

Tian Chou took a deep breath, stepped forward, muttering in Tuoba Liwei's ear in a low voice: "Did the Great Khan Yu be satisfied with the status quo if he is only ranked on the grassland king? Didn't the Great Khan Yu think about establishing a country alone?"

"Ba—!"

Following Tian Chou's words, the bamboo slips in Tuoba Liwei's hand fell to the ground without warning, making a crisp sound that awakened people, just like the words in his mind at this moment.
