Yuan Shang returned to his residence with a tired face, these days were simply too painful for a pampered son like him.

But Yuan Shang has a tenacity and a backbone that does not admit defeat, judging from the performance of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao's son is not bad, if they were united before, Liu Yu may have to pay a great price if he wants to have the current results, and maybe he may not necessarily fail.

Yuan Shang refused to admit defeat, but the reality was cruel, constantly eating away at Yuan Shang's confidence.

Yuan Shang asked his subordinates to boil a large bucket of water and soaked in a beautiful bath to relieve the pressure on his body.

Just after Yuan Shang took a bath, Lu Yi came to look for him. Yuan Shang still believes in Liyi, judging from Liyi's actions in ambushing Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, Liyi is very loyal to the Yuan family.

Yuan Shang summoned Koji Yi, who sat in front of him proudly and said nothing.

Yuan Shang was secretly angry, the character of Koji Yi is always so stinky. After helping Yuan Shao capture Jizhou and defeat Gongsun Zan before, he became arrogant, and sometimes he didn't even pay attention to Yuan Shao, so he was snubbed by Yuan Shao, and there were not too many tasks given to him.

But Yuan Shang is now employing people, so he can endure any unhappiness, and asked with a smile: "General Liyi, why do you have time to come to me." ”

"My lord, Ben has recently discovered a huge problem. That is, our army is now weak and unable to stop Liu Yu's aggression. Although Li Yi claimed to be the lord, his attitude was very arrogant and he did not take Yuan Shang in his eyes.

When Yuan Shang heard this, he said with a wry smile: "What the general said is very true, the Yuan family has fallen to this point, and someone will definitely fall into the ground." This official needs the assistance of someone like the general in order to defeat Liu Yu and regain his father's inheritance! ”

"My lord, relying on this little force alone, let alone regaining the inheritance. It's hard enough to be able to protect yourself. Why does the lord still say such immeasurable things? Koji said mockingly.

Yuan Shang was angry, and Lu Yi lost his identity when he spoke like this, and said, "General, pay attention to your identity!" ”

The smile on Lu Yi's face disappeared, his eyes stared at Yuan Shang, and then he smiled slightly, and said, "Lord, wasn't it the last general just now." In fact, the last general has thought of a way to solve this problem! ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" Yuan Shang was a little surprised.

The old god of Koyi said on the ground: "My lord, our army is now isolated, surrounded by Liu Yu's regiments, and the other princes are simply unreliable, especially Cao Cao, a former ally, who now allows Liu Yu to attack our army and sit idly by. Since the people in the Central Plains are unreliable, why don't we seek help from those outside the Guan? ”

"Foreign? We are Han Chinese, how can we do such a thing! Yuan Shang was shocked, colluding with foreigners was a matter of self-destruction of his future, and he disagreed.

Lu Yi didn't think so, and said: "My lord, some things should be divided into two aspects. In the past, the last general would never have made such a suggestion. But now that our army is left with such a small place as Nanpi, does the lord really think that he can rely on this place to turn over? Lord, if the army is defeated and killed, there is no distinction between foreigners and Han people at all, they are all dead people! ”

"But that's a foreigner!" Yuan Shang insisted on his opinion, but his tone was not so firm.

Lu Yi saw at a glance that Yuan Shang was loose, and continued: "My lord, whether it is the Xianbei people, the Huns or the Wuhuan people, they are all envious of the flower world in my Central Plains. As long as the conditions are right, then they will definitely be tempted. The last general heard that Liu Yu had done a lot of cruel things to foreign clans over the years, and if these foreigners united to deal with Liu Yu, then Liu Yu would definitely be anxious, and then our army could take advantage of the chaos to start trouble. And the lord doesn't have to worry about being scolded by the world, as long as he does it secretly, who will know that our army is connected to foreign races. Could it be that Liu Yu offended the foreign race too deeply, causing the foreign race to attack him? ”

In fact, Yuan Shang somewhat agreed with Ko Yi's idea in his heart, but he was very worried that if he did this, and then others knew about it, there would be no room for him to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. But Koji Yi is right, if he dies, no one really cares if you are a Han or a foreigner.

Yuan Shang considered his net worth and life, recognized Koji Yi, and said: "This thing may be difficult to achieve. They have a great appetite, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath in the future. ”

There was not a single word in Yuan Shang's words that agreed with Koji Yi's suggestion, but the meaning in the words was already obvious. Lu Yi is a smart person, and of course he understands Yuan Shang's concerns.

Koji Yi said confidently: "My lord, the general has already made a comprehensive plan for this matter. ”

"Since General Koji has a draft, then this official has full authority to you to do it. It's just that there must be no mess! After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shang felt that it was better to hand over the power to Lu Yi, and if there was any accident, he could pretend not to know and push it all to Lu Yi.

Yuan Shang's abacus played very well, but Koji Yi was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he said with a smile: "Please also ask the lord to write a letter of appointment to explain this matter, and the last general is worried that some people will not accept it in the future." ”

Looking at the smile on his face, Yuan Shang felt that he was really an axe, and a character like Koi Yi who survived in the troubled times had already seen through his own little thoughts.

As a last resort, Yuan Shang still wrote a letter of appointment.

Ko Yi looked at the appointment letter, and after there were no problems, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the lord will definitely bring back good news." The last general will not disturb the lord's rest. ”

Koji Yi left Yuan Shang's residence with a smile.

Yuan Shang looked at the back of Lu Yi, and really wanted to kill this arrogant person, but Lu Yi was right, he really needed help from foreign clans now.

After Lu Yi left Yuan Shang, he sneered all over his face, wanting to calculate him, but Yuan Shang, this kid, was still a little tender.

Koyi began to arrange according to his inner plan, and sent envoys to the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan. As long as they were willing to send troops, Koji Yi took it upon himself to promise them that Youzhou and Merge would be divided equally. Koji Yi felt that there was such a big temptation, and the Hu people would definitely be tempted.

The three foreigners saw the messenger sent by Koji and were very moved by the promise they had made.

The flowers and rivers of the Han people in the south really fascinated them too much. But the Han people in the south are not easy to mess with, and a few years ago, a guy named Liu Yu appeared, whose methods were extremely cruel, more ruthless than the Hu people.

No Hu people are willing to go south to find death, but if the Han people are looking for them, then it's another story.

When many Hu people heard that they were going south to the Han Realm, they all showed excited eyes.

Some of the wise chiefs began to consult with the chiefs of several tribes about the possibility of the matter, and if the big men agreed, then they would go south to fight the grass valley.
