Chapter 133: Xu Yu
For reputation, it's not that Lu Bu doesn't care, but after he cares, he doesn't play a big role, so Lu Bu can't pay too much attention to these false names, otherwise, he will be constrained.
Princes are held hostage by fame and morality, because these things can increase their strength to a greater extent.
How to deal with the relationship with the princes, that is what Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others worry about.
Seeing Lu Bu appear, officials kept coming forward to salute.
"My lord, Xu You, the envoy of Jizhou, Han Yin, the envoy of Yangzhou, Wang Kai, the envoy of Yanzhou, and Zhang Yi, the envoy of the plains, ask to see you." Jia Xu stepped forward and said.
Lu Bu smiled: "They are more eager. ”
"This is also the opportunity of the lord." Jia Xu said in a low voice.
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bu asked.
Jia Xu said: "On this occasion, the princes are more in awe of the lord, and the reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu sent envoys here is precisely to befriend the lord and unite with the lord, so that they can get more benefits, and after the lord befriends them, they can also get unexpected benefits." ”
"Qingzhou is currently in chaos, there is a yellow turban rebellion, Qingzhou officials are too busy to take care of themselves, the lord does not need to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, confronting Gongsun Zhan, it is difficult to take care of other wars, why don't the lords secretly plan with Yuan Shu about Yanzhou, and get the greatest benefit from this turmoil."
"Wen He's words are reasonable." Lu Bu nodded.
Before, Jia Xu's plan for Lu Bu was to unite with Yuan Shu to attack Liu Dai, and after the confrontation between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu would definitely not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Liu Dai had followed Yuan Shao's orders before, and Liu Dai did not dare to ignore the influence of the princes' alliance leaders, but at present, the princes and alliance leaders were mired in war, and even for the rebellion that was criticized in the past, he had to send envoys to come.
If Yuan Shao fought against the Xuzhou army alone, Yuan Shao would not have the slightest fear, but the destructive power after Lu Bu and Yuan Shu joined forces could not be compared to the past.
"I don't know what Fengxiao means?" Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia on the side.
&nb;Guo Jia got up and said: "The state pastor, the words of the military advisor are very true. ”
Seeing that Lu Bu was still staring at him with burning eyes, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes' alliance and has a great prestige among the princes, but in terms of strength, it is very different from Yuan Shu. ”
"Although there are many princes in the world, in this battle, the key roles are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Dai and Zhou Muye, but Yuan Shao can only rely on Liu Dai, once Liu Dai is embezzled by Yuan Shu and Zhou Mu, the land south of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao is difficult to control."
"Fengxiao's analysis is reasonable, and the matter of dealing with the envoys of the princes will be handed over to Wenhe and Fengxiao." Lu Budao.
"Lord, my subordinates suggest that my lord meet with Yuan Shu's envoy alone." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and understood Jia Xu's intentions, at present, he and Yuan Shu are allies, and in terms of treating the envoy, it must not be generalized, so that Yuan Shu's envoy feels that it is still very necessary.
The envoys of the Quartet were waiting in the governor's mansion, but the venue was not as quiet as imagined, who could be the first to see Wen Hou, it showed the importance of Wen Hou, which was a matter of long face for the envoys of the princes, there were contradictions between the princes, and even the envoys with them also had a sense of competition.
Liu Bei's envoy Zhang Yi was very low-key, and he also maintained a silent attitude towards the words of the other three envoys.
"Wen Hou has an order, and Han Yin, the envoy of Yangzhou, stepped forward." An official said lightly.
Han Yin stood up and laughed, looking at Xu You and Wang Kai with disdain.
Although Xu You and Wang Kai were angry in their hearts, they didn't have the slightest solution, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were allies, and Han Yin's treatment in the city was definitely better than them, which also made the two feel the trouble of the trip to Xuzhou.
The princes attack each other, in fact, the situation in the world can still be seen through, if there is no accident, the next unlucky one must be Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yanzhou is surrounded by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, once Yanzhou is breached, Yuan Shao's situation will be more critical, unless Yuan Shao can defeat Gongsun Zhan, so that Jizhou can be stabilized.
Not long after Han Yin left, Xu You and Wang Kai also received orders respectively.
It was Guo Jia who received Xu You.
Guo Jia is under Yuan Shao's account, just an unknown strategist, Xu Yu has a pivotal position under Yuan Shao, and he has won Yuan Shao's trust.
&bsp; "I've seen Guo engaged." Xu Yu arched his hand.
Guo Jia bowed his hand and saluted back: "The envoy doesn't need to be so polite, in fact, there are still several connections with the envoy below." ”
"Dare to ask where it is?" Xu You questioned, if he could have a friendship with the officials that Lu Bu valued, maybe the purpose of going to Xuzhou could be achieved.
Guo Jia said: "In the past, I also served under the account of the alliance leader and was a strategist under the account of the alliance leader. ”
"I see." Xu You's face was a little unnatural.
Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes, and is the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, the literati and scholars naturally go to take refuge, so many people cannot all be taken seriously, and some people can only be unknown under Yuan Shao's account, and many people will naturally leave during the period.
Guo Jia left under Yuan Shao's account, he must have been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, and Xu You secretly felt trouble.
In the past, Xu You could not care about Guo Jia, but now if he wants to see Lu Bu, the most direct way is through Guo Jia, Xu You even suspects that this matter was deliberately arranged by Lu Bu.
After the two talked, Guo Jia's performance was remarkable, and in the face of Xu You's many temptations, Guo Jia pretended not to know, and deliberately chatted with Xu You about other things, which made Xu You a little big.
"The envoy of Yangzhou pays a visit to Wen Hou." After entering Lu Bu's room, Han Yin put away the pride he had just been outside and saluted respectfully.
Lu Budao: "Envoy, please get up, Benhou and General Yuan have a lot of dealings." ”
"Thank you, Wenhou." Han Yin arched his hand and said, Yuan Shao and Liu Dai sent envoys to come, which made him feel uneasy, the current situation in Yanzhou is not very stable, it is a good time to join Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou, and if you seize this opportunity, it will be of great benefit to Yuan Shu.
As for Lu Bu, his status in Yuan Shu's heart is the same as that of Sun Jian in the past, and he only needs to follow Yuan Shu's orders.
But judging from the current situation, will Lu Bu be willing to be Yuan Shu's thug?
