"Lord, Liu Zhoumu invites you to a banquet in Jicheng."

The subordinate officials of the Taishou Mansion reported to Cheng Ningyu.

This is the first time that Liu Yu has officially invited Zhao Hui since Zhao Hui occupied Beiping.

The two sides had only been in contact by letter before, and even if Cheng Yuanzhi was appointed as the captain of the Guardian Karasuma, Zhao Hui and Liu Yu had not met each other.

Whether it is Zhao Hui or Liu Yu, during this time, they have been restraining themselves to avoid major conflicts and contradictions. The primary goal is to maintain the stability of Youzhou.

Zhao Hui was still thinking about how to take over Youzhou from Liu Yu smoothly.

The world is in turmoil, and with Liu Yu's character, he can't stand firm and ensure the lives of the people of Youzhou.

If it weren't for Zhao Hui driving Gongsun Chan out of Youzhou, Liu Yu would have died at the hands of Gongsun Chan by now.

Taking Youzhou by force, or even killing Liu Yu, this is not a good choice for Zhao Hui.

Liu Yu has a great reputation in Youzhou, and if Zhao Hui really kills Liu Yu, many people will stand on the opposite side of Zhao Hui, making Zhao Hui lose the hearts of the people.

Killing Liu Yu was Zhao Hui's last choice.

The original Gongsun Zan also killed Liu Yu, his personality completely changed, and he became more and more brutal to the people.

After killing Liu Yu, he wanted to control Youzhou as quickly as possible. In the face of those people who were unhappy with Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan chose the simplest violent suppression.

But the more bloody and violent he was, the more people opposed him, and the more people opposed him, the more brutal Gongsun Chan became. So much so that he completely lost the hearts of the people in Youzhou.

In the end, in the face of Yuan Shao's attack and the boiling hearts of the people, Gongsun Chan himself lost confidence. He could only hide in the high walls that had been built, and was finally forced to burn himself to death.

Although Liu Yu has very few troops in his hands, and his strength is far from being comparable to Zhao Hui, his reputation in Youzhou cannot be underestimated.

Today Zhao Hui killed Liu Yu for no reason, and tomorrow someone will avenge Liu Yu and sneak into the Taishou Mansion to assassinate Zhao Hui.

The people of the Han Dynasty are very bloody, and there are not a few people who are not afraid of death.

Like Dian Wei Xu Shu, they all killed for the anger of their friends, and before they killed, they didn't think about the consequences at all.

This is not unique in Dahan. There are one or two such people in almost every city, but many of them failed to escape like Xu Shudianwei after killing people, but were caught by the government to pay for their lives.

When a person feels that no one around him can be trusted, everyone outside looks like they are trying to kill themselves.

He could only hide in the closed castle he had built, refusing to communicate with the outside world.

Zhao Hui didn't know for the time being what Liu Yu's purpose was in inviting him this time.

Two days later, Zhao Hui took Zhao Yun to Jicheng.

When Zhao Hui arrived, Liu Yu deliberately went out of the city to greet him.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Governor." Zhao Hui saluted Liu Yu.

"China doesn't need to be polite to me." Liu Yu helped Zhao Hui's hands and said.

The two walked side by side all the way to the state governor's mansion.

"Last time, thanks to China, otherwise this Captain Karasuma might still be empty now." Liu Yu said.

"I'll wait for Mrs. Zhao to have a drink."

At this banquet, in addition to Zhao Hui, Liu Yu also invited other Taishou.

There is Chen Hong of Fanyang County, and there is also Zhang Fang, the Taishou of Daijun.

However, Shanggu Taishou Taishi Ci and Yuyang Taishou Xu Shu were not invited.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it first."

Fan Yang Taishou Chen Hong raised his wine glass, covered half of his face with his sleeve, and winked at Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui looked thoughtfully at Liu Yu who was sitting at the top.

Chen Hong didn't blink normally, but had other meanings.

Zhao Hui has always believed in Liu Yu's character, so after receiving Liu Yu's invitation, although he didn't know Liu Yu's purpose, he still came immediately.

Judging from Chen Hong's blink, it is really difficult for Zhao Hui not to guess whether Liu Yu is a Hongmen banquet this time.

But even if it was a Hongmen banquet, Zhao Hui was not afraid.

He came with Zhao Yun this time, and he joined forces with Zhao Yun, even if Liu Yu ambushed hundreds of axes outside, Zhao Hui would be able to break out.

It's just that Zhao Hui doesn't dare to eat the food and wine on the small table now, he doesn't know if there is a problem with these foods.

He believed in Liu Yu's character, but what about the others under Liu Yu.

Those who are loyal to Liu Yu, I am afraid that many of them want Zhao Hui to die.

Zhao Hui didn't dare to gamble with his life.

If the food and wine on the low table in front of him were poisoned, no matter how strong Zhao Hui was, if he took a bite, he would have to give up his life today.

Liu Yu said: "Zhonghua, why don't you move the chopsticks, if these dishes are not the same as your appetite, I will ask my subordinates to change the table for you." ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, Xia Guan is just a little uncomfortable in his stomach and has no appetite, please forgive me." Zhao Hui said.

Liu Yu nodded and said: "China is free, I invite you to come today, this official mainly wants to hear what you think about the princes fighting for hegemony today, and where should I go in Youzhou." ”

"You think that my Youzhou should join this rolling trend and compete in the world. It's still a corner of the country, sitting and watching the world. ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Yu asked again: "Zhonghua, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Hui thought for a while and said: "Xia Guan thinks that if I have the strength in Youzhou, I should lead the army south, not for the sake of chasing the world, but for the sake of tens of millions of people, and I can avoid the war as soon as possible."

If my Youzhou is not strong enough to compete with the princes from all walks of life, I will protect millions of people in Youzhou from war. ”

That being said, Zhao Hui didn't think that Youzhou's strength would be insufficient.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, as long as he uses the strength of the entire Youzhou, Zhao Hui has the confidence to compete with them.

"Tell me what you think." Liu Yu looked at the other Taishou again.

Yuyang County Taishou Chen Hong said: "I think what Zhao Taishou said is right. ”

"This is indeed the most beneficial for our Youzhou."

The other Taishou who were invited by Liu Yu also agreed.

With the status and power that Zhao Hui has now, these are too guarded, and no one wants to work against Zhao Hui.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Youzhou is still Liu Yu's biggest.

But in the eyes of these Taishou, Zhao Hui is even worse than the previous Gongsun Zhan. Before Zhao Hui touched their interests, they would not stand up against Zhao Hui.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Yu was very sad in his heart.

Liu Yu was well aware of the gap between him and Zhao Hui.

Even if his heart was to him before, he has now begun to move closer to Zhao Hui.

According to the normal situation, he and Zhao Hui competed, and the loser must be him.

Liu Yu is not a person who likes to fight.

He has not studied how to govern the army, nor has he read the military book, even if the other Taishou are already recruiting soldiers, the strength in Liu Yu's hands has never exceeded the system of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu is also very conflicted now.

On the one hand, he has the blood of the Liu family flowing in his body, his Han royal family, and he doesn't want the Han dynasty to be destroyed.

But on the other hand, he knew what he was capable of.

Although he was praised by the world, he did not have the ability of Emperor Guangwu, and he had no way to turn the tide for the Great Han.
