Xun Chen's suggestion was unanimously appreciated and recognized by Liu Qi and Xun You.

Right now, Yuan Shao's biggest hidden danger is not at the front line, but at the rear.

At that moment, Liu Qi asked Xun Chen sincerely: "The Guards Department under Liu is good at this. If we want to accomplish this, it shouldn't take much effort. But after all, it is just a simple rumor, and I may not be able to get it done."

If this is true, some prominent families in Jizhou and Youzhou may still hesitate, what should they do if this is the case?"

Xun Chen raised his hands and said: "Therefore, it is necessary for Xun Mou to write a letter to the noble family in Jizhou to help the prince to take over the matter for Yuan Benchu. In this way, the princes in Jizhou and Youzhou will no longer hesitate, and the prince's important affairs can be completed

become."

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this.

He raised the wine cup and gestured to Xun Chen: "Let's drink to the full."

"please!"

…

The guards from Liu Qi's Guard Department were very fast. Following Liu Qi's instructions, they quickly headed to Hebei to spread rumors.

In fact, it is relatively easy for this rumor to spread.

First of all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were on the same side before the war. They were closer than all the princes in the world.

Although Cao Cao's attitude before the war was not in favor of Yuan Shao, his actions had been secretly cooperating with Yuan Shao to a certain extent, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

During Yuan Shao's attack on Luoyang, Cao Cao had been facing Sun Jian of Jiangdong and Yuan Shu of Huainan on the southern front, and these two people were undoubtedly Yuan Shao's enemies.

So in terms of behavior, Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's accomplice.

Now that Cao Cao made a sneak attack on Luoyang, resulting in the death of the emperor, if there was no command from Yuan Shao behind this... no one would believe it anyway.

But in fact, Cao Cao's actions this time really had nothing to do with Yuan Shao.

But the problem is that it is relatively easy for the people from the Guards Department and Xun Chen's help to pin this matter on Cao Cao's head that looks very much like Yuan Shao's doing.

After the news reached Hebei, it immediately caused an uproar.

A group of powerful families in Hebei were originally skeptical about Yuan Shao's move south to invade Luoyang, but Yuan Shao gave them an absolute guarantee before the war, and also explained that after welcoming the emperor back to Yecheng, he would give them

With enough benefits from the powerful powers in various places, they reluctantly agreed.

But now, the emperor has not been welcomed to Hebei, and Yuan Shao is still suffering setbacks in Xixiang. Now that the emperor has died because of Cao Cao, all the public opinion outlets have directly pinned Cao Cao's attack on Luoyang on Yuan Shao's head.

If the prominent families and powerful people in Hebei continue to support Yuan Shao's invasion of the south, they are out of their mind.

Even if Shen Pei is stationed in Jizhou and goes back and forth among various families, it cannot change the actions of the Jizhou clans to collectively cut off Yuan Shao's support.

…

"The nobles in Jizhou have cut off Yuan Shao's military lifeline. It seems that the time to launch a general attack on Yuan Shao is not far away!" Liu Qi smiled and put down the slip in his hand... Above it was the report returned to him from the Hebei front line.

.

There is a person standing below him.

It was Jia Xu who had just arrived from Luoyang.

"The matter is too big. No matter how famous Yuan Shao is, if such a big thing happens this time, the Hebei clan will definitely not continue to support him. Your victory is imminent. I would like to congratulate you."

Liu Qi stretched out his hand and asked Jia Xu to sit down.

After Jia Xu sat down, Liu Qi said to him: "Wen He, you made me very dissatisfied this time, do you know?"

Jia Xu sighed and said: "Jia and the princes designed to lure Cao Cao to Luoyang to attack Lu Bu, but failed to save the emperor. It is really my fault. I am here to apologize to the princes."

After saying that, Jia Xu bowed down to Liu Qi.

"Forget it, you are alone in Luoyang, and your subordinates are only a few people from the Guards Department. I really don't blame you. Wang Yun and His Majesty are suspicious of each other. The disaster today is not your fault."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Where's Li Ru?"

"Outside the handsome tent."

"Let him in."

When he was young, he saw Li Ru coming to Liu Qi with his head lowered.

"Li Ru has met Junhou."

"Wen You, this time Wen He is in Luoyang, it's all thanks to your help... Although your Majesty's incident is beyond my expectation, the blame does not lie with you, but with Wang Yun, Lu Bu,

Cao Cao's disaster... Generally speaking, your merits outweigh your faults."

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Li Ru is very frightened, but he is honored to be praised by Lord Jinkou."

"I heard that you want to take up a job in Jiaozhou in the south for two thousand stones?"

Li Ru threw off the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of Liu Qi: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of King Hongnong, Mr. Li has made a big mistake, and the world will not tolerate it. If he stays in the Central Plains again, he will be reckoned with by the scholars of the Central Plains in the long run.

I just hope that the monarch can let Mr. Li go and let me go to the border to end my remaining life!"

After saying that, they kowtowed to the ground one by one: "Please grant me your permission!"

Liu Qi looked at him calmly and said, "Get up and talk first."

When he was young, Li Ru straightened up and heard Liu Qi say: "Is it the king's land in the world? Even if you are hiding in Jiaozhou, as long as the people in the court know that you are still alive, they will attack you sooner or later. It doesn't matter where you hide. You

Do you understand this?"

"this……"

"Actually, I have a place for you to go. It depends on whether you want to go." Liu Qi said slowly.

"I wonder where the Lord is talking about?"

Liu Qi stood up, came to the map behind him, and gestured on it with his fingers: "Jiaozhou, although it is located in the south, is relatively easy for the court to control. After all, there are no major wars or disasters. Although it is remote, it wants to

There is no way to treat you... But Liangzhou is different. There are Qiang people everywhere and there are many rebellions. If you go there, although the scholars in the court will be dissatisfied, at least they will not think that you are there.

Go hide and enjoy the blessings... Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the control of scholars is the weakest in Liangzhou, where survival is based on border work. It will be difficult for the scholars of the Central Plains to touch you in Liangzhou.

"

When Li Ru heard this, his heart sank: "Your Majesty, you want me to go to Liangzhou?"

"I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not... Liangzhou is now led by Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Pang De and other close friends of mine who are in charge of the three counties. They adjust measures to local conditions, but there is still a lack of capable people to help you.

If you are willing to go there, I will treat you as a county magistrate. There, you will cooperate with Fa Zheng in governing the country, Pang De and others in running the army, and quelling the Qiang plague. Although it is hard work... but at least the hands of the Chinese scholars cannot reach there.

"

In fact, in Liangzhou and Jiaozhou, as long as Liu Qi wanted no one to touch Li Ru, he could do it no matter where Li Ru went.

But it was obvious that Liu Qi wanted Li Ru to go to Liangzhou to assist Fa Zheng.

Li Ru is a smart man, he knows when to do what.

If Liu Qi wants to give him a way out, he can't be too picky.

Otherwise, if Liu Qi is offended, life will be even more difficult in the future.

Li Ru understood that he had no choice in this matter right now.

"Whatever the Lord wants to do, then do it. As long as the Lord can save Li's life, Li is willing to go to Liangzhou and die for the Lord."

"I can't give you the position of prefect for the time being. It would have too much influence and would attract attention easily. You should first go to the magistrate of Fa Zheng and work with him to control Liangzhou for me. There, your resourcefulness will be fully utilized."

The border counties of Liangzhou are full of Qiang infestations. No one cares whether your strategy is vicious or not. As long as you can calm the border, you will be good. Do you understand what I mean?"
