Chapter 459: Surprise

"I didn't expect Liu Xuande to have some eyesight, and chose to form an alliance with our army at this time. This letter is well written, it is Liu Ziyang's handwriting! Looking at Liu Ye's sincere alliance letter, Yuan Shu said with a smile.

"The general is really wise, and it is indeed written by my Liu Junshi." The messenger complimented.

"Your Liu Junshi is not a simple person! This alliance with our army is also his idea, right? Yuan Shu inquired again.

"It's... I don't know below, but I hope that the Lord will forgive my sins. The messenger smiled and bowed apologetically.

Yuan Shu looked at the envoy who looked a little flustered, and said with regret: "Liu Ziyang is indeed an immortal genius, and he is really condescending under the command of your lord. If you defect to a certain person, a certain person will definitely reuse it and let him show his ambitions. What a pity! ”

The envoy was secretly angry in his heart, but thinking of Liu Ye's constant advice before leaving, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "But I don't know if the general is willing to ally with a certain lord." ”

Yuan Shu froze the letter in his hand, lay down on the back of the chair behind him, and said lazily: "Naturally willing." Your father-in-law wants to eat a dog with Cao Cao, but it's too late to be happy, of course, you have to mix it. ”

"You!" The envoy looked at Yuan Shu angrily and said angrily. The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and Yuan Shu belittled Liu Bei like this, he only felt extremely ashamed and angry at this time.

"Alright, you go down." Before he could refute it, Yuan Shu directly waved his right hand and said softly. Then two soldiers came in from outside the tent, standing on either side of the messenger, and said in a deep voice: "Messenger, please!" ”

"Humph!" The messenger was furious in his heart, and after snorting angrily, he turned and left.

Yuan Shu was not angry, just lying lazily on the chair, smiling and watching him go away.

"Lord, will our attitude cause Liu Bei to be dissatisfied?" The newly arrived Zhuge Jin couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shu didn't care and said, "Ziyu, you are too sincere." A weak country has no diplomacy, and a certain person will be scolded here for three days and three nights, so what can the envoy do? Liu Bei is just a-stirring stick, what do you care about him? ”

"But it's not good for us to be so innocent!"

"Hehe, if it were someone else, he could still treat it well, but for Liu Bei, half a good word is not enough." Yuan Shu snorted coldly, revealing his extreme disdain and dissatisfaction with Liu Bei.

Yuan Shu still recognizes Liu Bei's ability, after all, he is the lord of Shu Han in history, and it is amazing to be able to cry out in the world. But Yuan Shu didn't have a good impression of him at all.

Liu Bei's days are numbered, no matter whether their alliance succeeds or not, Liu Bei estimates that he will have to withdraw from the stage of history. Because although Liu Bei's ability is good, he is now facing himself and Cao Cao, and none of them can be competed with. And there is no demon like Zhuge Liang under his command, Chen Qun and Liu Ye are not enough to make Yuan Shu jealous.

According to Liu Bei's practice in history, after the defeat, Liu Bei should run away and defect to other princes. However, this product is obviously a sign of devouring the Lord, and whoever defects to is unlucky. Yuan Shu was reluctant to accept this goods. Thinking about the endings of Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao in history, Yuan Shu felt that it was enough. Such a mourning star, let's leave it to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

"Why is the lord's attitude towards Liu Bei?" Yang Xiu was puzzled.

"Liu Bei is a person with a cold nature, hypocrisy and righteousness, and he has the image of devouring the lord, and it is not a good thing to take him under his command. If you still want to live a stable life, let's drive this scourge away. ”

The two protagonists of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin are not good people. In the Water Margin, Song Jiang overheaded Chao Gai, and then died, and in order to recruit An, a lot of Water Margin heroes were killed to death. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is even known as Liu Ranran, which was completely like a mourning star in the early stage, but finally met Zhuge Liang in the back and began to take off, but the result was just a flash in the pan. There were more princes who were "pitted" to death by Liu Bei than the notorious Lu Bu.

The incomprehension in the hearts of the people below dissipated instantly. They all know Yuan Shu's eyes on people, and they have never missed it. Anyway, with their current situation, it is not a big deal to annoy Liu Bei.

"Wenhe, what do you think of Liu Bei's move?" Yuan Shu looked at the letter in his hand, and his tone was inexplicable.

"Awesome! With this move, it is not luck that Liu Bei can be a prince. It seems that in the past, we all underestimated this Zhongshan Jingwang. Jia Xu said with rare approval.

Ma Chao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but muttered in a low voice when he heard this: "What kind of hero is this kind of cowardice that greets the enemy with a smile." ”

Although Ma Chao's voice is small, which of the people present is easy? or has extraordinary spiritual power, or has a strong five senses, Ma Chao's muttering is tantamount to speaking in their ears.

Yuan Shu looked at Ma Teng and shook his head gently: "Meng Qi! You are really simple-minded, if you are a prince, it is estimated that you will be eaten by others, and there will be no scum left. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he glared at Yuan Shu unconvinced: "Is what you said wrong?" This kind of spineless villain, such an act can also be worthy of a prince? ”

Seeing Ma Chao so unscrupulous, all the generals present frowned.

Yuan Shu didn't care at all, but patiently explained: "Meng Qi, as a prince, can't just act on his will. Xiang Yuzhi's ability is far better than Liu Bang's, and he is brave, but what is the result? As a prince, the first thing is to be thick-skinned enough, and Liu Bei did this very well. If it is changed, it is estimated that it may not be able to do this kind of thing. ”

Ma Chao also felt the subtlety of everyone's emotions, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, but the arrogance in his heart made him force himself to finish speaking. Seeing that Yuan Shu was not only not angry, but patiently explained for him, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and sounded his father's earnest advice before, bowed his head and stopped talking.

Ma Chao is just young and vigorous, and everyone can understand it. Seeing that he knew each other very well, he no longer questioned, and they all regained their composure.

"Liu Bei's submission is a great thing for us. If it is operated properly, the Central Plains can be broken with a snap of a finger. Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Lord, what exactly did Liu Bei say in his letter?" Jia Xu asked

Yuan Shu smiled while holding the letter in his hand: "What he said is good. Hoping that we could attack Tongguan with him, and then cede Si Li and Yanzhou to us, he led his army to attack Xuzhou. ”

"Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao, and many strategists and fierce generals are stationed with heavy troops. Although Xuzhou has Cao Ren in charge, it is just a lone army, and there is no danger to defend, Liu Xuande is really a good calculation. Guo Jia chuckled.

"Liu Bei didn't mention letting us transfer troops from the south at all, probably because he was unwilling to let our army pass through Yuzhou." Xun Yu Dao

"Normal, seeking skin with tigers, he is also afraid that our big tiger has too good appetite and will swallow them. He wanted to suppress Cao Cao, and he never let down his guard against us. Jia Xu said softly.

"What is the lord going to do?" Guo Jia asked.

Naturally, he promised him that he didn't plan to take the Central Plains at this time. Just won Xiliang, and I didn't want to spread the stall too big. But forget about Yanzhou, let Liu Bei let the three counties of Jingzhou and Jiangbei out. A guarantee will not move Yan, Henan, and Xu within three months. Yuan Shu had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said directly.

Liu Bei's alliance was really a big surprise for him. Cultivating opponents for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, driving tigers and devouring wolves to reap the benefits, the policy that Yuan Shu has always adhered to now has unexpected gains.
