There are many slaves in the barbarian tribe. Most of these slaves were captured in tribal conflicts. Some were trafficked into slaves. No matter what kind of slave. Not only do they have no personal freedom. And there is no freedom of marriage. Pairing can only be done by the owner. Hou Qinu was captured by hunters in the forest. Sold to Mulu and became a slave. Although Mulu treated him pretty well. But he couldn't change his status as a slave. Hou Qinu is a rascal. He had long confessed his fate as a slave. Naturally abide by the various rules of slaves. Waiting for the master to marry him.
Liu Xin didn't know that the barbarians had such rules for slaves. And he didn't really treat Hou Qinu as a slave. if not. I helped him find a woman last time in Nanzhong. The reason why he now asks Hou Qinu and Ponzi. Just want to humiliate Liu Fan. But he did not expect Ponzi to survive. The woman who actually promised to be Hou Qinu. Could not help shook his head. Said: "Abandoned slave. From now on. She is yours. You can take her out."
In the eyes of Hou Qinu. Liu Fan, Liu Zhang, Ponzi and Fei Shuang are the same as him. They are all slaves. As a result, both Liu Fan and Liu Zhang have women. And he was Liu Xin's most trusted slave. It should be more qualified to have a woman than them. Fei Shuang is still just a child. Hou Qinu had no interest. So he kept staring at Ponzi.
As a result, Liu Xin's marriage is really obtained now. Hou Qinu couldn't help being overjoyed. Grab a step forward. In one hand, Ponzi was copied from the ground. Carry it on your shoulders. Those big rough hands couldn't wait to catch Ponzi's fat buttocks. Ponzi's head hung on Hou Qinu's back. His face was red. Looks weird. I don't know if I am happy to be able to escape from the dead. Still feel ashamed and angry because of the public frivolity of Hou Qinu. Where did Hou Qinu manage a lot. Carrying Ponzi and leaving the hall excitedly. Go back to my room happily.
I watched Liu Xin point his wife to such a crude ugly man. For Liu Fan. This is really a shame. He struggled to straighten up. The eye canthus is split. Roared at Liu Xin: "Liu Xin. You... Wow..."
Liu Fan held his breath in his chest and couldn't dissipate. Finally couldn't restrain the blood spurting wildly. "Plop" fell to the ground with a sound.
Liu Xin waved. Said: "Forget it. Pull it out and bury it."
Both Xun Yu and Xun Chen's complexion changed drastically. This Liu Fan was obviously just furious. Suddenly passed away. This will be pulled out and buried. Isn't that buried alive? Liu Xin's move was too ruthless.
Both of them were hesitating. Liu Xin has already said: "Two gentlemen. I will tell you the lord after I go back. What they said in their letter. Liu Mou will not allow it."
Before Xun Yu came, he complimented Cao Cao to go to Haikou. Liu Xin must be moved to let go of the previous suspicions. At least Liu Xin should not use troops against Cao Cao within three years. To ensure that Cao Cao has enough energy to deal with Yuan Shao. Hearing Liu Xin refused. Xun Yu was surprised. Quickly got up and said: "Xun Mou courageously. Please Master Liu think twice."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Slowly said: "Liu admires Mr. Wenruo's talent. But this matter is related to the future and destiny of my Han Dynasty. I am sorry for Liu's difficulty in agreeing. The two gentlemen should know better than Liu. Whether it is Cao Cao's support Set up Liu Xie. Or Yuan Shao supports Liu Biao. Both treat them as puppet emperors. As a clan of the Han clan, Liu naturally has the mission of revitalizing the Han clan. How can one recognize a puppet to be the emperor of the Han."
This result is not only Xun Chen. In fact, even Yuan Shao himself had guessed it. Yuan Shao asked Xun Chen to send this letter to show Liu Xin his attitude. It would be better if Liu Xinken was on his side. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to turn his face with Liu Xin. After all, the territories of the two sides do not border. He didn't need to worry that Liu Xin would pose a direct threat to him. Moreover. Wait for him to clean up Cao Cao. Sooner or later I still have to do it with Liu Xin. As for whether Liu Xin will help Cao Cao. Yuan Shao didn't worry anymore. Because he has received the news. Not long ago, Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang by taking advantage of Liu Xin's attack on Dong Zhuo. In this situation. Liu Xin would be fine without putting a knife behind Cao Cao. How could it still help him.
and so. I heard Liu Xin rejected Yuan Shao's proposal. Xun Chen was rather relaxed. This time he originally wanted to take the opportunity of sending a letter to take a look around his hometown. Whether Liu Xin refuses or accepts it. His tasks are considered complete. He can also go home early and have a look.
But Xun Yu is different.
As Xun Yu himself said. Although the two brothers have their own affairs. They are doing their best. Although that is the case. In fact, Xun Yu didn't know if Xun Chen would do his best. but no matter. He must have done his best for Cao Cao himself. And Cao Cao now faces dual threats from Liu Xin and Yuan Shao. He must try to resolve the grievances between Cao Cao and Liu Xin. To relieve Cao Cao's pressure.
Another point. Xun Yu also agreed with Liu Xie as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After all, Liu Xie is Liu Hong's biological son. In Xun Yu's eyes. Liu Xie is the orthodoxy of the big man. and so. He will stand on Cao Cao's side without hesitation.
therefore. When I learned of Liu Xin's resolute attitude. Xun Yu's heart suddenly became cold. but. He also wants to make the last effort. So he folded his hands and said, "Master Liu. My master did something to take advantage of others. But there was indeed an edict from the emperor at that time. My master did not dare not follow it. Now things have been done. I regret it. So. My Patriarch wants Xun to ask. What are the requirements for the adults. Only then is he willing to shake hands with my Patriarch."
Liu Xin snorted coldly: "Liu's conditions. When Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang. The city was extremely empty. Liu's wife and children were all in the city. He almost suffered his poisonous hands. Liu now can't wait to take Cao Aman's dog's head. However, in the face of Mr. Wen Ruo. Liu will not care about him. As long as he surrenders the culprit who proposed to attack Xiangyang, Liu will not meet him for the time being."
Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, conditions are better than no conditions. It's not easy to want the culprit. Nothing else this year. There are so many scapegoats. Although Xun Yu had already accepted Liu Xin's condition in his heart. But he didn't plan to agree easily. He arched his hands and said, "Master Liu. Xun Mou heard about the attack on Xiangyang. Runan's Yuan Shu also had a share. But Master Liu has not yet agreed to make a treaty with him. He hasn't heard of any conditions. But why treat my house. The lord was in favor of one over the other."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "Wen Ruo. Haven't you heard of what others say to Cao Aman. He is a'powerful minister in the world. A treacherous man in troubled times'. Isn't it comparable to Yuan Shu's idiot? You know. The chaos is like today." The ambition of Cao Cao, a traitorous hero, is not small. How can Liu sit and watch him develop the climate."
Xun Yu knows that he can't tell Liu Xin. He gritted his teeth and said, "If my family master busses the culprit. I don't know how long is the time limit for the temporary non-commissioning that Mrs. Liu has promised."
Liu Xin thought for a while. Said: "It takes two years. Liu's words count. Never take the initiative to use force with Cao Cao within two years. But. If Cao Cao is provoked first, don't blame Liu for not keeping his promises. Also. Counting from today . Within a month. I want to see the culprit. Otherwise, everything is forgotten."
Liu Xin's two-year deadline has been carefully considered. This winter. The strength of the major legions can be replenished in place. After another year and a half of intensive training. Can completely despise the princes of the world.
For Cao Cao in the past two years. There is not necessarily enough. first of all. He will defeat Yuan Shao within two years. Have to retain enough strength to deal with Liu Xin. This difficulty is quite big. Xun Yu certainly hopes to gain a longer time. But from Liu Xin's decisive tone. He had already heard that Liu Xin would not give him any room for maneuver.
Xun Yu said without hesitation: "Okay. Then it's a deal. Xun Mou will say goodbye. Within one month. The culprit will be sent to Xiangyang."
He is a smart man. Since Liu Xin said so firmly. He doesn't need to be entangled anymore. After all, it is a good result to be able to fight for two years. He needs to spend more energy on how to deal with Yuan Shao. and. He did not dare to delay. Must hurry back to Puyang as soon as possible. Find a scapegoat and send it over.
In fact, what Xun Yu didn't know was. Liu Xin didn't want to start with Cao Cao in the short term. Because Liu Xin knew. Years of war will overwhelm the people. Then it will lose popular support. And people's hearts are the foundation for who can finally secure the world.
and. Liu Xin was not worried at all. Because he is very clear. It's really that time. Whether it was Cao Cao who ate Yuan Shao or Yuan Shao who ate Cao Cao. They will all be the end of the battle. How could it be better than your own to wait for work with ease.
Hearing that Xun Yu wanted to say goodbye. Liu Xin smiled and said, "Two gentlemen. Liu's answer has been made. You can send a letter from someone back. You don't have to rush away."
Xun Yu's face changed color. He shouted sternly: "The two countries are still fighting the battle. Is it possible that Master Liu still wants to forcefully detain my brothers."
"Wen Ruo. Although you and I do not have close friendship. But it is also an old acquaintance. Isn't Liu so unbearable like you said." No one can be happy after being wronged. Liu Xin's face was also slightly unhappy. Shen Sheng said. "Liu is just because it is not easy for your brothers to meet each other. I want to keep you in Xiangyang for a few days. Besides. Wen Ruo's old friends are here. You don't want to meet. If you really can't believe Liu. Then. Please do it yourself."
Xun Chen said hurriedly: "Master Liu calmed down his anger. Wen Ruo was just innocent. How dare you not trust the adults."
Although they belong to different camps. But in the end it is a brother. Come out to help say a few words at the critical moment. Xun Chen said so. Xun Yu also took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Mrs. Liu is kind enough to stay. Xun has to say away again. It's a bit hypocritical. I heard Mrs. Liu just now. Xun X really wants to see Mr. Cai."
It was because of Wei Zhongdao. Wei's family spread rumors around. Said Liu Xin is worthless. How could Xun Yu not know that Cai Yong was in Xiangyang. So instead of waiting for Liu Xin to speak. Xun Yu has already continued: "Xun has heard of the name of Xiangyang Academy for a long time. I don't know if Master Liu can take my brothers to have a look."
