Time is like a horse passing by, passing quickly.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Liu Hao left the affairs of the county to the military advisor Xun Yu and took full responsibility. He, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other generals led more than 3,000 people to join the Mi family's caravan and set off towards Xuzhou.

After several days of departure from Yingchuan County, Liu Hao had led his troops to arrive in Xuzhou in a mighty manner.

Xuzhou is one of the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

There are five counties under the rule: Donghai, Xiapi, Langye, Pengcheng, and Guangling, with 62 subordinate counties. The key is its strategic location.

It borders the Yellow Sea to the east, the Central Plains to the west, the Qingzhou Mountains to the north, and the Yangtze and Huaihe River waters to the south. From a military perspective, it is also the gateway between the North and the South. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

The current seat of Xuzhou is Xiapi City.

Liu Hao looked at the majestic Xiapi City not far away, raised his hand and said: "Zilong, pass on my military order to set up camp outside the city, and do not disturb the local people. Without my order, conflicts cannot break out easily, otherwise according to the law Military discipline!"

"Here!"

Zhao Yun solemnly took the order and went to settle the soldiers.

At this time, from a distance, I saw a horse galloping towards Xiapi City.

Mi Zhu said softly: "Zixuan, these are the messenger soldiers sent by the Tao family..."

The messenger galloped up to Liu Hao, sat on the horse without dismounting, and clasped his fists and said: "See Sir Liu, my lord is greeting you at the gate of the city. Please move forward. My subordinates will be stationed temporarily." Here, the city will arrange for wine and food to be delivered."

"Please lead the way..."

Liu Hao smiled and said, the Tao family soldier was not polite, he slapped the horse on the butt, rolled up the smoke and ran away.

"This guy is looking for death!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were on the left and right, snorted heavily, obviously unhappy with this Tao family soldier who had a somewhat arrogant attitude.

"Lao Dian, Zhong Kang, this is Xuzhou, not Yingchuan, don't be rude!"

Liu Hao scolded him gently, but he still had a calm look on his face, with no sadness or joy in his expression.

In Yingchuan County, Liu Hao's status was supreme, and the people loved and supported him from the bottom of their hearts. However, the situation in Xuzhou was completely different.

When Mi Zhu saw this little episode, he secretly admired him: a person with a high position of power could express his emotions and anger, but Liu Zixuan was unmoved by all the winds. He was indeed a rare hero!

Liu Hao arranged the three thousand men under him, and together with Mi Zhu's motorcade, he led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and a dozen of his own soldiers towards the city gate.

"I've heard for a long time that Zixuan is a member of the imperial family, with both civil and military skills. When I saw him today, he was really majestic and heroic, and he was welcomed even from afar!"

A few dozen feet away from the city gate, a young old man in his fifties or sixties got out of his car and said hello to Liu Hao from afar.

Seeing that there were armored soldiers on both sides of him, armed with swords and guns, at least hundreds of them, Liu Hao smiled in his heart: This Tao Qian, is he demonstrating against me?

"Tao Gongzu is an old man and an important official in the imperial court!"

Liu Hao calmly engaged in a business exchange with Tao Qian, and at the same time, an emperor's qi-gazing technique was thrown at him:

Tao Qian has 34 force, 80 intelligence, 75 politics, and 53 command.

Note: I am getting old and my abilities are degrading...

Seeing Tao Qian's attributes, Liu Hao became even more calm. The counselors under him were actually much better than Tao Qian in terms of argumentation ability.

But times make heroes. Tao Qian started his career by wiping out the Yellow Turbans. He has been in Xuzhou for many years and has developed the demeanor of a feudal official.

"Why don't you disperse quickly and clear the way in front? Lest some scoundrel comes out and collides with Mr. Liu!"

After Tao Qian and Liu Hao exchanged a few polite words, they boarded the carriage and ordered their soldiers to disperse to protect them.

This was because he saw that Liu Hao only brought a dozen people, and felt that there was no threat in his heart, so he refused to weaken his position in front of Liu Hao.

"As you command!"

Hundreds of Xuzhou soldiers, majestic in appearance and wearing strong armor, upon hearing Tao Qian's orders, immediately accepted the order and dispersed to lead the way. Only a few dozen of them were left, following Tao Qian.

Liu Hao sat on Mi's car, driving side by side with Tao Qian, towards Xiapi City.

Along the way, Mi Zhu pointed from time to time, explaining to Liu Hao the layout of Pi City and the customs and customs of Xuzhou.

There was already a deep friendship between the two of them, and they were chatting and laughing happily. Tao Qian next to them could hear strange looks from time to time.

When entering Xiapi City, Liu Hao frowned.

Ever since he combined Shengxu Emperor's Dragon-Slaying Technique with the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon and developed the Emperor's True Qi, Liu Hao has been able to detect the mysteries of Yin and Yang, the changes in misfortune and fortune, and the various murderous intentions and hatred directed at him, with no way to hide them.

.

At this time, the true energy in Liu Hao's body was naturally flowing, and he had already keenly felt that there was someone hiding in the dark in Xiapi City, staring at him closely.

"Lord, be careful!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu also looked alert.

As top experts, they also vaguely felt that there was danger. Their bodies were like two high walls, tightly blocking Liu Hao's left and right sides, ready to deal with any emergencies.

"It doesn't matter, I want to see who dares to do it in broad daylight!"

Liu Hao smiled lightly, his expression unchanged.

At this time, the streets of Picheng were already densely packed with ordinary people, and they were blocked on both sides by Xuzhou soldiers sent by Tao Qian.

Passerby A: "Look...look...this is Liu Zixuan, Lord Liu, who killed all the yellow scarf thieves in Yingchuan County!"

Passerby Yi stood on tiptoe: "Hiss... look there... that's the ridiculously handsome young man with Master Mi Zizhong!"

Passerby C sighed: "Is he the good official who promulgates benevolent policies and reduces taxes on the people? If he were in Xuzhou, how could the Taishan bandits dare to make mistakes!?"

The old man who told the fortune said: "What a young hero... I will count with my fingers, this boy will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future..."

...

"My lord, have you ever been to Xuzhou? Why does your reputation seem to be higher than that of Tao Qian..."

Former military advisor Liu Bowen shook his feather fan lightly and chuckled softly beside Liu Hao.

Mi Zhu also nodded and smiled and said: "Yuzhou and Xuzhou are neighbors. They are not far apart. Zixuan's martial arts are invincible. He led his troops to kill no more bandits in Yingchuan County. He also implemented benevolent policies and reduced taxes for the people. The people of Xuzhou are not that far away."

I heard some rumors."

At this time, they met the real person and reacted so enthusiastically, which is understandable.

If the Xuzhou soldiers under Tao Qian hadn't stopped him, the common people would have gone one step further and rushed directly to see Liu Hao.

The streets were filled with people's voices, all heard by Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.
