Cao Cao returned to Luoyang this time to be recruited by General He Jin, and joined the General's Mansion to report his duties. He was promoted to a clerk, which was considered a equitable transfer. However, judging from the current government structure, the local government has not really split and separatist, and being an official in Luoyang is more promising than being an official in the local area.

After Yuan Shu left, Cao Cao told Ye Zhao to be careful and said goodbye. Ye Zhao looked at the man who was rescued by him and smiled: "Look at you, you are burly and strong, and your evil spirit appears on your body. Should you have killed someone?"

"The emperor, Caomin once followed the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans." The man nodded.

"So that's it, why didn't you fight back just now?" Ye Zhao looked at the man curiously.

"The grass-roots people come to Luoyang to make a living. If they provoke the Yuan family of Runan, they are afraid that there will be no place for Luoyang to live in." The man bowed and said.

"I was kind-hearted, but now it seems that I have harmed you." Ye Zhao looked up and down at the man and sighed.

Originally, Yuan Shu was beaten and naturally he would not care about him. However, because of Ye Zhao's actions, Ye Zhao's understanding of Yuan Shu would probably hold a grudge against the man who spoke at that time. However, the eight-foot man was forced to be like this coward for his livelihood, which is also a pity.

"Who else is there in the family?" Ye Zhao looked at the man and asked.

If it weren't for the concern, I'm afraid a hero wouldn't have cringed like this.

"I still have my mother. This time I came to Luoyang for medical treatment. My family's wealth has been gone. Now I am looking for a place to stay." The man bowed and said.

"It depends on your strength and strength, but you don't know how good your martial arts are? Do you understand the military tactics?" Ye Zhao saw that the man was not like a country man, so he asked this question.

"Once one of our ancestors was a general, and they knew some strategies and were not proficient in it." The man bowed and said.

"Since I annoyed Yuan Shu, I'm afraid it's difficult to gain a foothold in Luoyang for a while. It's better to temporarily enter our mansion and be a family general. If you have the chance in the future, what if you recommend you to the army?" Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your cultivation!" The man hurriedly bowed.

"I have some responsibility for this matter. Judging from your appearance and you still have no place to live, I will take your old mother to my mansion, which is convenient for taking care of it. Ye Mansion in the west of the city is not difficult to find. If you go with my token, someone will receive you!" Ye Zhao took a jade pendant from his body and handed it to the man.

"Thank you, the envoy!" The man thought his future was dim, but unexpectedly, he was bright and thanked him again.

"By the way, I don't know the name of the hero, who is the person?" Ye Zhao called out and said, "The strong man who was anxious to go back to pick up his mother.

"Langya Ji Ling!" The strong man turned around and looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"Go and pick up your mother." Ye Zhao nodded, looking at Ji Ling's back as he left, the smile on his face suddenly became cheerful, and he seemed to have accidentally lost Yuan Shu's future general.

"Bad guy, what are you laughing? Why are you laughing so weird?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao's smile and shivered. Why did she suddenly think that Ye Zhao's smile was a little obscene?

"Is it strange?" Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liu Wei and Liu Bian.

"It's weird." Liu Wei nodded.

Seeing Ye Zhao looking at him, Liu Bian thought seriously for a moment and said, "Ye Qing smiled just now, which made Gu feel a little chilled on his back."

Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly. Perhaps his true feelings were revealed inadvertently? He actually let the two little guys see through it. It seemed that his vigilance was lowered.

"The princess and Your Highness should mention this gambling battle. It would be much easier if the matter could be brought forward by Your Majesty." Ye Zhao smiled. He was ready to confirm this matter. Yuan Shu was not without a brain. He said before, and he also had a loyal word. Maybe he would regret it when he went back. Even if he didn't regret it, the old foxes of the Yuan family would let him learn to regret it. What he had to do now is to implement this matter, and it would be best if the emperor was involved. At that time, no matter what the bet, the Yuan family would have to bleed. This kind of opportunity is not often available. After all, most children of aristocratic families, especially those who are qualified to fight for family heirs, have few chances of committing the second and being hit by themselves.

"You really want to compete with him? If you lose, you have to leave Luoyang." Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao with a little worried face.

"The princess is afraid that I will lose?" Ye Zhao smiled and looked at Liu Wei.

"After all, Yuan Gaolu is from the Yuan family. After all, he heard from his father and eunuchs that he is now under the command of the general and is quite trusted by the general. If it were true, I'm afraid the general will help him." Liu Wei said worriedly.

"Although there are certain external factors in this military confrontation, the ability of the commanders of both sides is the key to the outcome when the advantages and disadvantages are not obvious. Although Yuan Gonglu is a little brave, if he faces him, he still has some chance of winning." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

This is not blind confidence. It can be considered as fighting with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu can lead troops, but the wealth of famous generals is almost the same. It can only be said that they are just a regular one. According to the knowledge in the book, they have some experience in leading troops. However, if you calculate it purely by ability, you are only one of the countless generals of the Han Dynasty. You can't make a fortune, but it won't be too bad. The halo of the intellectual family makes Yuan Shu look better than others. This is an era where origins can determine the future to a large extent. Yuan Shu is a standard product of this era.

"Then if you win, what would you want?" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao curiously. She didn't understand why Ye Zhao tried his best to make this happen.

"What I want depends on how much blood the Yuan family is willing to release." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You just need to report this matter to Your Majesty. As for the others, you and I don't have to ask about it."

He believed that if Liu Hong was willing to arbitrate, even if the Yuan family was looking for their own face, they would not be able to take out too bad things to bet on their future with him.

"It's up to you!" Liu Wei glared at Ye Zhao with some anger and said in a depressed mood.

On the other hand, after Yuan Shu took Yu She and a group of servants back home, he did not report the matter immediately.

"Lord, why don't you say it?" Yu She followed Yuan Shu back to the room in confusion.

"What are you saying? If my uncle knows, why don't you hit me directly?" Yuan Shu said angrily: "Who is Ye Zhao? I will have a chance of winning with him by using commanding troops to gamble with him?"

When Yu She heard this, he nodded unconsciously. He had worked under Ye Zhao's command and knew better that Ye Zhao's ability was almost unaware of it, and even without even counting the number of attacks on the crowd, so he let the enemy collapse on his own. This ability, even if he thought about it at this time, made him feel a little chilling. It would be absolutely not a pleasant thing to show up with such a person, even if it was not a real battle on the battlefield.

"That's the gambling matter..." Yu She looked at Yuan Shu and asked carefully. Yuan Shu was obviously not in a good mood now.

"Gambling fight?" Yuan Shu looked at Yu She with a blank look on his face: "What gambling fight? What is the general talking about?"

"Lord... wise!" Yu She suddenly realized that at this time, it was better not to meet Ye Zhao, so as not to be humiliated. In the matter, he was still a little disdainful of Yuan Shu's behavior of cheating.

If he didn't want to fight, he would admit his timidity and turn around and leave. At most, he would be ridiculed by Ye Zhao. But now he has already accepted it, but he is afraid to fight and cheat. Such behaviors are even more despised.

Yuan Shu didn't know what Yu She was thinking, and he felt a little proud. He said that Ye Zhao was so smart. Now it seems that this is the case.

Just when Yuan Shu was proud of himself, he didn't know that the content of Yuan Shu and Ye Zhao's gambling was already known the next day. Ye Zhao had many shops in Luoyang City. Some of these shops were under the banner of the Ye family, and some were secretly controlled. They did not use Ye Zhao's banner on the surface. In total, they were all over the city. However, in some places with relatively dense crowds, there were Ye Zhao's shops, and these shops helped promote. In addition, the protagonist of the gambling fight was Ye Zhao, who now has a good reputation in the public, and the other was a playboy who was famous all over Luoyang.

There was almost no need for Ye Zhao to push it. The next day, various versions had been derived and spread across the streets and alleys. After Yuan Shu learned about this, he almost smashed everything he could at home and was extremely unhappy.

On the third day, the court meeting.

After handling some government affairs, Liu Hong did not announce the severance of the court as before, but looked at the court officials and smiled: "Recently, I have heard some interesting things and want to share them with you."

The ministers were already ready to leave, but when they heard this, they had to kneel down and listen again. After all, no one could refuse to give the emperor's face.

"This matter is related to the Taiwei. Is there any news about the Taiwei who ordered my nephew, Hu Ben, General Yuan Shu, and Luoyang Order Ye Zhao, to gamble in the street? "Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Wei and asked with a smile.

"I have heard of this matter." Yuan Wei nodded and said, "It's just a battle of will. Why should your Majesty take this matter to heart?"

"There is no way. The world has not been peaceful recently. The war in Xiliang has been repeated. There is no good news. I can only find some fun by myself. Besides, this matter is not small. If Ye Zhaoruo loses, he will resign and leave Luoyang and use the imperial position to gamble. Is this a trivial matter?" At the end of the day, Liu Hong's expression has become unkind.

The war situation in Xiliang was originally thought to be able to be suppressed soon, but Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, and Dong Zhuo, who was born in the Western Liang family, could not suppress the rebellion, but instead had a tendency to become more and more intense. Dong Zhuo was ambition and refused to send troops. Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen were also old problems and were reluctant to take action. However, Liu Hong still had to rely on them and was very frustrated. Now he brought this matter to the court to discuss it, which also meant to express dissatisfaction.

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Yuan Wei hurriedly bowed and said, "The old minister is not strict in discipline. After returning home, he will order the evil deeds to be banned and reflect on his own mistakes."

"There is no need. It is common for young people to be passionate and impulsive. Besides, this matter is related to the reputation of the Yuan family. Why not do you think this is the case? The general sets the time and rules of gambling. At that time, I will personally see the winner and lose. As for the first prize... The position of the Weiwei is now empty, and these two are also young heroes. Whoever wins in the end will take up the position of the Weiwei, what do you think?"

Yuan Wei wanted to refuse, but was secretly held back by Zheng Tai beside him. Wei Wei was among the nine ministers, and he was an important position in the nine ministers who held military power. If they could take the position of Wei Wei, why should they rely on He Jin again? Look at his wink?

Yuan Wei also reacted, but he thought more about it. This was not just a fight between the party members and the general, but probably the emperor also included.

He looked up at Liu Hong, but saw Liu Hong smiling at the ministers, waiting for his reply.
