Half an hour later, Zhao Yun came back.

"Lord, Mr. Gongda has arrived." Zhao Yun reported outside the study.

"Sir, please come in quickly!"

Xun You entered, and Zhao Yun closed the door when he left.

Liu Qing looked at the man in front of him. Although he was Xun Yu's nephew, he was older than Xun Yu. In his imagination, he shouldn't be much older. But standing in front of him, Xun You's maturity was beyond Liu Qing's expectation.

"I have met the king." When Xun You spoke, his signature eyebrows were raised high, but his eyes were not big.

"No gifts for business, please sit down!"

Liu Qing smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing to a place where there was a small mat with various sliced ​​meats, fruits, and wine on it.

Liu Qing got straight to the point and said: "Sir, please come here first to express your gratitude. Although the help you provide is for the Xun family, it is indeed a great help to me. Come and have a drink with me!"

Xun You handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. These are all things a lower official should do."

After finishing a glass of wine, Liu Qing smacked his lips and continued: "Secondly, sir, please come here. There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Xun You's attitude was neither cold nor hot, neither salty nor light.

It seems that Xun's identity does not bring a sense of closeness. Maybe, maybe, it is a generation gap.

"Since my king captured Luoyang, all parties have made arrangements. However, there is still an undecided candidate for one position. Gongda has been in Luoyang for a long time and came here to ask for advice."

"What position is it?"

"Captain Sili." Liu Qing said.

Xun You was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly laughed. Apparently, he had guessed Liu Qing's plan.

He also knew a lot about the character of King Bohai through Xun Yu, and he also knew well that King Bohai wanted to recruit him. Now, King Bohai came to Luoyang in person, invited him, set a table, and took

Asking him about this topic has already made it clear.

"Does the king already have a candidate in mind?" Xun You asked rhetorically.

Liu Qing nodded, "Not bad."

"Then why does your Majesty need to ask more questions?"

"I don't know if he is willing or not." Liu Qing said, looking directly at Xun You, as if he wanted to get a clue from his small eyes.

Xun You also looked back at Liu Qing, their eyes facing each other for a long time.

"Haha, hahaha!" The two suddenly laughed at the same time.

Xun You immediately stood up, walked to Liu Qing's case, held the hem of his clothes with one hand and knelt down to Liu Qing, "For the sake of the king's ambition, you are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"

Liu Qing was really shocked by Xun You's strength. This series of combat characteristics made him a fighting machine.

Think about it, should you continue to let him serve as Sili Xiaowei? Wouldn't this be an indignity of talent?

Liu Qing came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to help Xun You up.

He said with a smile: "I have achieved Gongda, and I am like a tiger with wings. When I go south, the poor mountains and harsh rivers will become smooth rivers!"

"My lord, you are too flattering!"

"Come and sit down! Let me tell you about this Captain Sili!"

Xun You sat back down and said, "My lord, please speak."

"I only know a rough idea about the position of Sili Xiaowei, which is that it is responsible for supervision. However, what I want is more than that..."

Liu Qing expressed his idea, that is, to join in the collection of overt and covert intelligence. Since he is a supervisory official, he cannot keep it superficial.

As for the current court, Liu Qing may not have any information needs, but one day the new policy will directly touch the core interests of the powerful nobles. By then, the court will be in murky waters, and some people will inevitably make small moves.

"The functions mentioned by my lord are somewhat ordinary and are beyond the authority of the Sili Xiaowei." Xun You said.

"Gongda, just let it go. If there is anything I can do, if you need help, just ask."

"Here!"

"Come, drink!" Liu Qing raised his glass and greeted Xun You again.

Today, I got Xun You, and my subordinates got another big help, and I felt particularly happy. After talking about the business, Liu Qing talked to Xun You about many secrets of Luoyang, almost starting from the time when He Jin was killed, and talking about Dong Zhuo's southern expedition. By dusk, it was already...

After being full of wine and meat, Xun You was sent back to his home by Zhao Yun.

Liu Qing was in a happy mood and returned to the house humming a little tune. Diao Chan hurriedly greeted him.

"I have met the king."

Although he was not drunk, he was still a little drunk. Liu Qing took Diao Chan in his arms and put her face up. Smelling the woman's fragrance, Liu Qing said lightly: "No courtesy."

Then he picked up Diao Chan by her waist.

What did Full Nuan Si think of?

Dian Wei, who was following behind, raised his eyebrows and consciously closed the door of his dormitory.

Although this was not the first time she had seen Liu Qing's wolf-like side, Diao Chan still curiously asked, "Why is your Majesty so happy?"

"Only when you have nothing to do can you be happy!"

Liu Qing meant that only when things are done can he be happy. After saying that, Liu Qing sat directly on the couch, Diao Chan nestled in his arms, two red clouds flew up on his cheeks, looking like a shy woman, Liu Qing saw this

, suddenly became very interested, and a pair of big hands slipped in through the gap in the clothes between Diao Chan's waist and abdomen...

…

As the sun rises, the earth begins to heat up, and the mist that fills the countryside begins to disperse.

"My lord, my lord!"

Yuan Shu was woken up by a call.

"It's time to eat."

It was Yang Hong who spoke. He held a bowl of gruel and handed it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu glanced at the thin porridge soup, with a few yellowed rice grains floating on it, and instinctively felt nauseated.

"Are there any more cakes?" Yuan Shu asked.

Yang Hong shook his head, "The baggage has been lost. Lord, we only have two days of rations left. These are all shared by the soldiers."

After all, ordinary soldiers would bring rations, but Yuan Shu and other civil servants and generals would not bring them themselves. Never thought that all the food, grass and baggage would be lost, and the soldiers' rations would become their only reliance.

"Don't worry, my lord, if we persist for two more days, we will be able to reach Pheasant County. Once we reach Pheasant County, we will have enough to eat."

Yuan Shu stretched out his hand and took the pottery bowl tremblingly, feeling sad in his heart.

When has Yuan Gongli ever used such useless utensils and eaten such mushy food?

However, there was a drum in his stomach and he couldn't do it without drinking. Yuan Shu took it and drank it with gritted teeth.

"Is there any news about the armies in Nanyang?" Yuan Shu asked.

Yang Hong shook his head.

At this time, Yan Xiang said: "Wars broke out in both Pheasant County and Xie County, but the garrison here has already been lost with Wan County, and has gathered southward to station in the Jishui area. Lord, after we supply supplies in Pheasant County, we have to bypass it.

Only in Wan County can we join forces with the troops."

Yuan Shu punched the haystack with his fist and said angrily: "Take me to regroup and kill Li Jue and Zhang Ji to pieces!"

After leaving Luoyang, they fled all the way. The rear army was pursued by Xu Huang, but Niu Fu intercepted him. He finally got rid of Niu Fu and rushed to Luyang. However, Xu Huang's cavalry caught up with him again. In the end, Yuan Shu's army didn't even take a breath.
To be continued...
