As Shi Xie spoke, he looked directly at Liu Yu. He was prepared to see if this Prince Qin's reaction earlier was because he did not understand.
However, the result was clearly not what he had imagined.
The expected panicked expression of this prince did not appear. Instead, there was a hint of contemplation.
In fact, Liu Yu was indeed deep in thought at this moment.
He finally understood what had happened in the city.
As for the Nanman invasion, it wasn't too surprising that the Zhu Rong Tribe had joined forces with more than ten tribes to attack the Great Han Dynasty.
The burly man had dominated the surrounding Outsiders for hundreds of years.
It was normal for others to counterattack.
Even if he didn't know much about the history of the Three Kingdoms, he knew that although the Three Kingdoms were at war internally, they weren't idle externally either.
Dong Zhuo suppressed the Qiang, Gongsun Zan suppressed the Xianbei, Cao Cao pacified the Wuhuan, Sun Wu suppressed the Baiyue, and even Liu Bei slaughtered and subdued the Nanman.
In such an environment.
Even though the three kingdoms had yet to enter a chaotic war, it was normal for some foreign tribes to rebel.
As for fear…
Alright, he wasn't worried.
Unless it was the Xiongnu or Xianbei, he might still be worried. After all, they were existences that had fought against the Great Han for who knew how long. However, it was not that he looked down on the Nanman, but the Nanman really did not have the right to do anything to him.
Compared to worry, there was another thought flashing in his mind.
That was how to make use of this opportunity to obtain greater benefits and speed up his original development speed.
To him, the more food he had, the better, but gold was also a necessity.
After all, only with gold could they build barracks.
At the same time, other than gold, he also needed influence and his own territory.
The importance of a territory was unquestionable in the development of the Empire Era.
Although he could rely on the state capital now and had a guarantee of safety, his development was actually limited. If he had a piece of land, the outcome would undoubtedly be better.
This was undoubtedly an opportunity.
At other times, even if he wanted to, Shixie would not be so easy to deal with.
In any era, it was a great sin for princes to gather forces.
If he wanted to build it quietly, he had to get Shixie's tacit approval.
He didn't have a chance before, but this time, he did. If he succeeded, not only would he gain Shi Xie's approval, but he would also gain his support.
Putting everything else aside, the problem of making Jiaozhou his base could be completely solved.
But at this moment, Shi Xie didn't know that Liu Yu had already started to have designs on it.
Although he was puzzled by Liu Yu's reaction, his plan would not change for the time being.
"Your Highness, it's best to prepare as soon as possible. I'll send someone to send you out of the city in the morning.”
At this moment, he sounded like he was giving an order.
Liu Yu didn't care about Shi Xie's direct words.
His furrowed brows disappeared, and his expression became solemn.
He looked at Shi Xie with determination, and at the same time, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded.
"Lord Prefect, as the prince of the Great Han Dynasty, how can I flee before fighting? Moreover, I'm just an enemy of the Southern Barbarians. How can I humiliate the Great Han Dynasty?”
"Lord Prefect, you don't have to say much. This king is willing to live and die with the people in the city.”
It was sonorous and forceful, and it was also impassioned.
Of course, this was not because Liu Yu was stupid, but because he had the confidence. Or rather, these words were actually meant for Shixie to hear.
He needed Shi Xie's support, so he had to show himself first. He obviously couldn't be a " trash " like before.
Although this might not be of much use, it was the best opportunity to cut in.
Just like at this moment, following Liu Yu's words, Shi Xie was obviously stunned for a moment.
Although it was only a moment later, Shi Xie became somewhat focused.
However, it was enough for Liu Yu.
"By the way, Lord Governor, you don't have to worry. I've taken in many refugees these days. They were originally used to build King Qin's Mansion, but now that the state capital is in a tight situation, I can still transfer these young and strong people. If the Nanman army only has tens of thousands of people, it's unlikely to take down the city.”
He continued to speak. Everything he had done before was to pave the way for this.
In any era, practical things were the most important.
No matter what, he was just an abandoned prince. Only with enough strength could he be valued by others, and only then would he be qualified to do other things.
And those 6,000 strong men were Liu Yu's source of confidence.
It was not just these 6,000 people.
Liu Yu still had to let this person see that he had the ability to gather a large number of young men.
Only in this way would Shi Xie make his choice. This was also a common problem of the aristocratic families of the entire era.
The country was already in chaos, and this was something that anyone with insight could feel. Each aristocratic family was choosing who to bet on, and Liu Yu needed Shixie to bet on him.
Liu Yu also believed that the other party would do so.
As for him, with Shi Xie's help, he could quickly build his own base. Next, he could truly farm and explode his soldiers in peace. Second, he could truly complete his first accumulation of funds.
Although the Shi family was not considered much among the aristocratic families, it was still an aristocratic family. If they gave their full support, it would still be very useful for his foundation in the early stages.
