it's... The power of the people's will?
Liu Hao was secretly shocked. As the aura surged in, he felt that his entire body was enveloped by an indescribable power.
As his aura gradually became more concentrated, a small golden dragon swam between Liu Hao's eyebrows. His aura also changed subtly.
It became even more dignified, making people not dare to look directly at it, making people revere it. It was the aura of an emperor.
"Governor Liu has invited you."
At this moment, a soldier dressed like a guard walked over. He seemed to be the guard in charge of reporting.
Liu Hao nodded slightly and arranged for the 18 riders of Yanyun and Guan Yu to stay outside the city. He and Ran Min walked into the prefect's mansion under the guidance of the guard.
They walked past the small courtyard of the mansion and arrived at the main hall of the prefect's manor.
"You must be the General Liu who defeated the Yellow Turban bandits in Zhuo County, right?”
Before he could reach the steps, he heard a hearty laugh. Then, he saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes walk out. It was the Governor of Youzhou, Liu Yan.
"Liu Hao greets Governor Liu."
Liu Hao immediately cupped his hands and said. This etiquette was just right, making him appear much more humble.
Seeing this, Liu Yan secretly nodded. He thought to himself that it was just as Zou Jing had said. Although he was young, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and he was a little humble. He immediately invited Liu Hao into the main hall.
Other than the servants, there was no one else in the main hall. Liu Yan ordered the servants to prepare good wine and dishes. Then, he sat down with Liu Hao at the table. Liu Yan took the main seat and Liu Hao took the second seat. It could be seen how Liu Yan treated Liu Hao.
Moreover, this was more like an invitation from an old friend than a summons.
"General Liu, the battle at Zhuo County has been hard on you. Since you're here, you should relax.”
After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Liu Yan broke the silence and clapped his hands.
Many graceful dancers in fairy dresses walked out from the main hall. At the same time, a series of percussion music sounded. The dancers nodded slightly at Liu Hao and began to twist their hips and jump.
The music was soft and the dance was beautiful. Among the colorful flowers, a dancer was very eye-catching. She was very beautiful and was looking at Liu Hao affectionately.
His eyes were full of charm, and his stubborn smile was even more touching.
Liu Hao was stunned for a moment. Liu Yan saw Liu Hao's expression and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"Pouring wine for General Liu!"
Liu Yan shouted after the song ended.
The dancer from before slowly walked over with small steps. She bowed and revealed her fair fingers to gently pinch the wine pot. A faint fragrance assaulted his senses, and Liu Hao frowned slightly.
"General Liu, this concubine offers you a toast.”
A pleasant voice sounded. The dancer smiled and reached out her hand to hand over the wine glass.
An unknown light flashed in Liu Hao's eyes. He reached out to take the wine glass and drank it in one gulp before the dancer could react.
"Alright, alright, you have a good tolerance for alcohol. You can leave!”
Liu Yan immediately praised her loudly, then waved her hand impatiently to let the dancer leave.
Liu Hao didn't say anything. He just stared at Liu Yan without moving. From the moment he walked into the prefect's manor to the moment he asked the dancer to pour wine, Liu Yan's intention to recruit him was obvious.
"I wonder if General Liu has any thoughts of serving the Great Han?”
After a moment of silence, Liu Yan broke the silence.
"As a man of the Great Han Dynasty, I am naturally duty-bound to do this.”
Liu Hao did not hesitate.
Liu Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his amiable face gradually became filled with worry.
"The current Great Han is troubled internally and externally.”
He raised his head and let out a long sigh. The wine was just right, and the scene was inexplicably sorrowful.
Looking at Liu Yan's appearance, he should be about to talk about serious matters. Liu Hao was not in a hurry to say anything. He waited for Liu Yan to speak.
"If we want to save the Great Han Dynasty, we must first deal with the Yellow Turban Army and stabilize the internal affairs of the Great Han Dynasty.”
Liu Yan stood up and said in a deep voice.
"If the prefect can use Hao, Hao will definitely not delay it!”
Seeing that it was about time, Liu Hao said firmly.
"Is that true?"
Liu Yan's eyes lit up. He had been waiting for this moment.
"Of course. Hao doesn't dare to casually agree to this.”
Liu Hao smiled.
"Good, good, what a young hero.”
Liu Yan's eyes immediately revealed a look of incomparable admiration.
After that, Liu Yan became familiar with Liu Hao at first sight. He even wanted to acknowledge Liu Hao as his nephew, saying that they shared the same surname and ancestor.
However, Liu Hao was not as cowardly and forbearing as Liu Bei. He did not agree. Liu Yan could not help but be a little disappointed, but he could not force it.
"Since General Liu has agreed, I will confer you the title of Rebel General. Immediately send troops to Changshe to destroy the Yellow Turban Army.”
Liu Yan said in a deep voice with a red face. She had said what she needed to say, and now she went straight to the point.
"I won't disappoint you!"
Liu Hao cupped his hands.
"Alright, then this official will wish General Liu a victorious return in advance.”
Liu Yan smiled and slowly stood up with one hand holding the hem of his clothes.
As for the issue of military strength, Liu Yan sent 3,000 Youzhou elite soldiers to Changshe with Liu Hao.
Although it was said to be 3,000 elite soldiers, they were actually just like the soldiers guarding the city. They did not have much combat ability. They were just an ordinary third-rate army.
This Liu Yan really had a good plan. Three thousand elite soldiers defeated the Yellow Turban bandits. In the future, he would definitely be the first to make a great contribution in the court.
