Tuwei is really a bit unconventional. Liu Cang's originally planned elite troops to march north were not used. With the help of the Xianbei coalition, the Tuwei tribe fell apart.

The troops had been mobilized and the baggage had been transported. Returning without fighting seemed a bit of a loss. Liu Cang led his flying cavalry back to the Shanggu. He simply released the two battalions of soldiers and went into the western part of the grassland to plunder before winter came.

Huangfu Song and Cai Yong from Liaodong returned to Luoyang, and Roxana took her immortal army to find a mountain to hunt animals.

In Jicheng, Youzhou, Liu Yu held a banquet in honor of Liu Cang. They first talked about interesting things in the past years and discussed the taxation of Zhuojun.

In these years, Zhuo County has been prosperous, with reclamation and expansion, and luxuriant livestock. Its fiscal and tax revenue can be said to be the highest in Youzhou.

Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and transferred miscellaneous taxes to the local government. Liu Cang guaranteed that half of the field taxes would be transferred to the state capital. The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious, and the topic gradually turned to foreign wars.

"Although your Highness's country is large, it will perish if it continues to fight for a long time. Now that wars are raging in Xianbei, we should induce the establishment of diplomatic relations at this time, or help the tribes who are loyal to the Han Dynasty to establish their power. Blindly plundering will only increase the hatred, which is not a long-term way to govern.

"

The singing and dancing continued, and the literati in the palace interacted and respected each other. Liu Yu talked to Liu Cang who was sitting with him like a casual chat.

"Haha, don't you want to bully me? How could you not know that a long war will lead to death without any benefit?" Liu Cang said with a smile.

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. Hatred will always exist if you squeeze it. If you want to sit on a mountain and watch a solitary tiger, you won't say much. But to help establish a position, don't raise tigers to cause trouble.

.”

"Haha, your highness, the two Xianbei tribes in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning died due to rebellion, leaving a large area of ​​fertile land outside the customs for no one to graze and cultivate. It is a waste after all." Liu Yu shook his head and smiled.

"Oh? Do you have the intention to relocate the people? Or let the Yuyang barbarians open up pastures?" Liu Cang asked back.

"this.

"Liu Yu hesitated.

Obviously, Liu Yu stopped Liu Cang from holding a banquet mainly because he wanted to talk about Liu Cang's sending troops to plunder outside the pass.

After the Tuwei Rebellion, a large amount of uninhabited fertile land did appear in the Rushui and Raoleshui areas.

Although Liu Yu was close to foreign tribes, he also knew that if the Hu Qiang from Han were put there, within a few years, there would probably be another group of Kouguan tribes.

Supporting Xianbei cannot guarantee that the opponent will not trouble the Han again after gaining power, but it is still a routine operation, and you can also call the opponent ungrateful.

But if he releases someone and is betrayed, Liu Yu doesn't want to be known as a foolish ruler.

Compared to other princes, Liu Yu was more like a relatively pure politician, to which Liu Cang reluctantly shook his head secretly.

"Alas~, I am not stupid. I have been conscripting troops all the year round in the border areas to prevent underprivileged children. It is really a waste of time and harm to the people. I have devoted myself to mediating and have been distressed for many years. But it has caused the outside world to spread the bad reputation of liking people and suppressing people. Haha." Liu Yu looked self-deprecating.

.

"Haha, you are dedicated to serving the people, who doesn't know that?"

"And the name of being kind to Hu Qiang may be discordant elsewhere. But if it is placed in Youzhou in the north, it will make you respond hundreds of times. This bad name is untrue, untrue, haha, just don't mention it." Liu Cang laughed and ridiculed.

, Liu Yu raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Your Highness, I heard that your Highness plans to destroy Tuwei and strengthen my might as a great man. I would like to pay my respects to Your Highness." Seeing Liu Cang and Liu Yu, their exchanges were a little stiff. Tian Chou stepped forward at the right time and raised a glass to Liu Cang.

"Your Highness." Tian Chou started, and everyone in the palace drank in unison.

"It's not about using tricks. Xianbei is fighting within itself. It just happens to be a meeting." Liu Cang responded politely.

"Your Highness, there are many ghost corpse soldiers in Xianbei now. These corpse soldiers are tireless and difficult to prevent and destroy. The border officers and soldiers are worried and sleepless, and the governor is also troubled by this matter."

"Youzhou border defense urgently needs a group of degraded people to guard the border. I wonder how your highness will get this time? Is there any Taotie head that can be sold?" Tian Chou said again, and Liu Yu shook his head and waved.

"Haha, Zitai has such a temper. Don't talk about the gluttonous evil beast during the banquet today." Liu Yu said casually, but no one answered him. Liu Yu blinked and looked at Liu Cang, obviously waiting.

Liu Cang answered.

"Zitai is worried about the people and the army, so he should be a good talent." Tian Chou was young, Liu Cang didn't say anything, and Jia Xu was full of praise.

"In the early chaos of the war, Taotie died among hundreds of thousands of degenerate people. It is really difficult to obtain it. There are only a few leaders in the army. If Zitai is interested, he might as well discuss it after the banquet. Xu has always admired the envoy for his benevolence, and should respect the envoy for his kindness.

." When Jia Xu said this, he bowed to Liu Yuyao with a glass of wine.

Liu Yu drank back politely, and Liu Cangran smiled on his face.

"Guarding the border is really a big deal. There are still gluttonous people in Xianbei, so we should take strict precautions. How about a separate army stationed in Shanggu?" Liu Cang asked Liu Yu.

"Haha, Your Highness has personally eliminated the hidden danger of Tuwei. Today I celebrate Your Highness. Don't talk about troublesome things. Please drink from this cup." Liu Yu personally poured the wine for Liu Cang, and then raised the glass, but did not answer Liu Cang's words.

Obviously, Liu Yu wanted to acquire the Taotie Secret Medicine, and he didn't really want Liu Cang to embed forces in Youzhou again.

Liu Yu knew very well that Liu Cang was powerful and could be described as the overlord. However, the news that Liu Cang had devoted all his manpower and material resources to develop Yangzhou on a large scale had spread all over the country. After all, he was still the king of vassals of the Han Dynasty, and he could not rely on force to decide everything.

If Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou were worried about Liu Cang's infiltration and causing trouble because they bordered Yangzhou, Liu Yu was not worried about Liu Cang's mischief in Youzhou.

Always paying attention to the trends in Zhuoxian County, Gongsun Zan, the only one who worried Liu Yu for the time being, was not someone who was willing to be inferior to others. Liu Yu tried his best to maintain a good relationship with Liu Cang.

After three rounds of drinking, the literati in the palace began to engage in some dissolute behavior. It was not uncommon for them to recite poems, drink wine, dance drunkenly, dance with swords, and express their ambitions arrogantly.

The Han Dynasty paid attention to etiquette, but it was far less strict and artificial than later generations. Liu Cang and Liu Yu also clapped their hands in agreement from time to time, and accompanied a group of people to praise and talk.

"Haoxuan, you and I are all relatives, and I won't speak any foreign language to you." Liu Yu seemed to be drunk, and he became more and more intimate with Liu Cang.

"How could I not know that Yuan Shao of Jizhou is very ambitious, but Gongsun Zan's wanton behavior has given me even more headaches."

"I just want to protect Youzhou for the Han Dynasty and create a place for people to cultivate and live." Liu Yu's eyes were dim when he was drunk.

"Nowadays, the power of the clan is weak. If you don't believe me, you won't believe in Haoxuan. However, there are many pairs of eyes in Youzhou Mansion looking at me. I want to use the Taotie secret medicine to create a army of corpse soldiers to protect the Han Dynasty. I wonder if Haoxuan can give away the Taotie?" Liu Yu

asked Liu Cang.

"Liu Cang thought deeply.

"If a degraded person wants to be strong, he needs to be fed with the blood of ferocious beasts. This consumption is not just as simple as gluttonous secret medicine." When Liu Cang said, Liu Yu nodded and listened.

"I still have more than 20 ready-made Taotie heads in my hands. I also have a breed of beast in my circle, and I will raise and cultivate it in the future." Liu Cang introduced, Liu Yu's eyes twinkled.

"The orphans of the gluttonous beasts will definitely not escape. Your Majesty may also go to the Xianbei grassland to search and hunt." Liu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Liu Cang continued.

"If you want to buy Taotie's head, a thousand young and strong people from Xianbei can exchange it for one brain. No matter male or female, you can be young and strong." Liu Cang was calm and Liu Yu's expression was condensed.

"this.

"Liu Yu pointed at Mosuo Wine Jue, seeming hesitant.

"Haoxuan wants to capture the slave Xianbei?" Liu Yu asked.

"It is not a good thing to practice the slave way." Liu Cang shook his head, and Liu Yu agreed.

"I want to use degraded people as laborers to develop the Han Dynasty and reduce the labor of the people." Liu Cang said again, and Liu Yu tightened his fingers.

"Hiss~~" Liu Yu accidentally pulled out a few of his own beards and sucked in a cold breath.

Mother, what you said is so righteous, this is much more evil than slaves. One thousand people have one gluttonous head. Are you trying to make Xianbei extinct?

"Will Haoxuan's offer also be valid for Gongsun Zan? Gongsun Zan has a dark heart and cruel hands. If he attacks foreigners who have entered the Han Dynasty, it will eventually lead to disaster." Liu Yu asked softly after losing his composure for a moment.

"Gongsun Zan is really not good at governing the people, and he has no intention of favoring Gongsun." Liu Cang shook his head.

"If I swear to defend Youzhou forever for my great Han Dynasty, can Haoxuan trust me?" Liu Yuruo pointed out something, and Liu Cang was slightly stunned.

"Haha, Haoxuan admires your lord's arrogance. These gluttons in my hands will definitely not be leaked. If they are sold again, I will let you know." Liu Cang smiled and toasted Liu Yu with a glass of wine.

Disappointment flashed across Liu Yu's face. Obviously Liu Cang understood what he meant, but the support Liu Cang gave him was not satisfactory to him.

"Haha, let me think about it." Liu Yu raised his glass and drank with Liu Cang.

Liu Yu has a very strong popular base in Youzhou, but unfortunately, more of his popular base comes from foreigners. In the eyes of the Han family, Liu Yu is more like a mascot with good character.

He lacks some of the qualities of the princes in troubled times, and his role in restricting the fights between the Han families is real. If he does not directly join Liu Cang's subordinates, Liu Cang will obviously not spend much money on him.

.

Liu Cang gave him a certain amount of support, but if he wanted to get the Taotie secret medicine from him, he would go to the grasslands to catch slaves. Liu Yu only considered the gains and losses, and had no objections or taboos about this.

While the two were talking, Xu Qun quietly came to the banquet place and called out Jia Xu. In a moment, Jia Xu quickly walked to Liu Cang's side.
