Even if a person like Yuan Shao is defeated, the winner will treat him very politely for the sake of the Yuan family and will not treat Yuan Shao as a prisoner.

However, people really didn't expect that Liu Zhe would kill Yuan Shao directly, and would not even give him a decent way, and would take him to the streets and behead him like an ordinary prisoner.

"So cruel!"

After hearing this news, many people could only evaluate Liu Zhe in this way. At the same time, they were afraid of Liu Zhe. A person who has mastered the four prefectures of Hebei, with strong soldiers and decisive and ruthless people, will have no need to think about what impact it has on the world.

At least after hearing the news, Yuan Shu recruited 100,000 troops from his territory to protect himself, and he didn't even dare to clamor for revenge.

In Youzhou, Yuan Shao was also executed with all the Yuan family. In this era, this was the price of fighting for hegemony, and this was an era of continuous leadership.

Feng Ji also followed Yuan Shao to die. He refused Liu Zhe's recruitment and decided to follow Yuan Shao to die together, which made Liu Zhe very sorry.

Feng Ji is one of the few people under Yuan Shao whom he likes. His figure appears in all Yuan Shao's decisions, and several of them are made by him.

For example, when attacking Liu Yu and taking the opportunity to occupy Qingzhou, Yuan Shao had his suggestions for many of his strategic decisions. Unfortunately, he met a group of staff members who had better strategies than Liu Zhe and Liu Zhe, who had better views on the overall situation than him, which made him fail and could not help Yuan Shao achieve hegemony.

Compared to Feng Ji Kang's death, Yuan Shao's three sons seemed embarrassing. They went to the execution ground to cry and were full of ugly appearances. It is said that Yuan Shao was so angry that he fainted from vomiting blood.

Regarding Xin Pi, Liu Zhe handed him over to Liu He for treatment because he was one of the direct murderers who killed Liu Yu. After Xin Pi's brother Xin Ping learned about his brother's death, he remained silent and bowed to Liu Zhe silently, rejected Liu Zhe's recruitment, left Youzhou, and lived in seclusion, but in the end he was recruited by Cao Cao to serve Cao Cao.

In addition, most of the officials under Yuan Shao surrendered to Liu Zhe. Internal affairs talents like Cui Yan greatly alleviated the lack of talents under Liu Zhe and greatly enhanced the strength of Liu Zhe.

Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen also surrendered. He was unhappy under Yuan Shao and was always suspected by Yuan Shao, which made him disheartened. Under Xun Yu's persuasion, he surrendered to Liu Zhe.

Yuan Shao died and Qingzhou was also captured. Liu Zhe's territory had four of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, becoming the largest and most powerful prince in the world.

Logically speaking, Liu Zhe should continue to attack, conquer other places in one go, and unify the whole country at one time.

However, Liu Zhe did not intend to do this, and his subordinates, Xun You and Guo Jia, and other first-class advisers, also suggested that Liu Zhe temporarily cultivate and maintain his life, stabilize his existing territory first, and accumulate strength.

Liu Zhe agreed with his subordinates' suggestions. This time, he captured Qingzhou in just over a month and executed Yuan Shao must have scared a large number of people. If he continues to attack, it will inevitably arouse opposition from the whole world, and there may even be another coalition. Although Liu Zhe is not afraid, this is unnecessary for Liu Zhe. Whether the coalition forces are easy to fight or the separate princes can be easily defeated, and Liu Zhe can clearly distinguish.

The princes in the world all had their own troops, and the momentum of attacking each other began to appear. Liu Zhe could temporarily shrink and watch them fight each other, so that he could gain the benefits of the fisherman in the future.

Moreover, news came from Yongzhou that Guan Yu had led his army into Fengyi County and the north of Bingzhou. Both places needed a large amount of material support, and it would be meaningless to Liu Zhe for the time being if he continued to fight.

However, it is easy to shrink, but it is difficult to relax people from all over the world if they shrink. Liu Zhe shrinks, which is more likely to scare a large number of people. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Zhe likes to attack sneak attacks. When your uncle shrinks, do you want to hide next to take the opportunity to attack sneak attacks?

"Lord, this matter is simple." Xun Yu smiled slightly, and he said, "Let's send someone to Yanzhou."

After Xun Yu said that, Liu Zhe's eyes lit up, and the others next to him also had a great understanding. The emperor was in Yanzhou and sent someone to Yanzhou to express his feelings to the court, so that the people of the world would know whether Youzhou took the emperor seriously or respected the court. This would reassure many people a lot.

Liu Zhe nodded, glanced at his subordinates, and considered who to send him.

Cai Yong stood up and recommended himself: "Son-in-law, let me go."

Liu Zhe nodded slightly. Cai Yong was really the most suitable candidate. He was the great scholar of the times and Liu Zhe's father-in-law. He sent him to meet the emperor with great sincerity.

Liu Zhe then ordered Cai Yong to be the special envoy to go to Yanzhou on his behalf to meet the emperor.

As Liu Zhe's father-in-law, Cai Yong was sent to Yanzhou to have a full range of protection, with 3,000 soldiers and dozens of generals and schoolmen. He also sent people to Qingzhou to order Zhang Fei to join Cai Yong's team as the chief bodyguard, and Zhang Fei protected Cai Yong's safety throughout the journey.

After arranging Cai Yong's mission, Liu Zhe began to adjust his personnel and rewarded the soldiers who made meritorious service.

He ordered Jia Xu to lead his army back to Youzhou, Xu Shu was the governor of Qingzhou, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were stationed in Qingzhou, Xun You was the governor of Jizhou, Zhang He was stationed in Jizhou, Xi Zhicai was the governor of Bingzhou, Huang Zhong was stationed in Bingzhou, and other generals and counselors were promoted.

For example, Tian Yu, although he was under Liu Xin, was still Liu Zhe who was promoted to the lieutenant because he was successful in defeating Linzi.

After Liu Zhe handled these matters, Sun Qian, sent by Tao Qian, finally came to Youzhou. At the same time, Jia Xu's report also came to Liu Zhe, making Liu Zhe understand what was going on.

"This little girl is really good at causing trouble." After reading Jia Xu's report, Liu Zhe was a little amused and crying about Liu Xin's actions.

He wanted to shrink and keep a low profile, but before it even started, this happened there.

Guo Jia smiled at Liu Zhe and said, "Lord, why not take this opportunity to show everyone in the world."

Liu Zhe understood what Guo Jia meant was to let this matter be resolved peacefully and let the people in the world see Youzhou's attitude.

Liu Zhe said to Guo Jia: "I naturally know this, but I have to satisfy that little girl Xiaoxin."

Liu Xinfang was obviously going to cause trouble for Mi Fang, and she didn't satisfy her. She didn't know what she would do. After all, this girl still has the ability.

Guo Jia smiled and took the order and said, "Lord, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"Okay, this matter is fully handled by you!"

"promise!"
