"Xu is engaged in Sun Qian, and he will see Yuan Gong." A man in his early thirties, with an elegant appearance and a graceful bearing, stood in the main hall, made a proper angle to Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, and said loudly.

"What did Liu Bei send you here for?" Although he could no longer understand in his heart that Sun Qian was ordered by Liu Bei to ask for help, Yuan Shao still asked.

"Today, Cao thief led a large army to invade Xuzhou, wanting to start a war with his own desires. Our lord Liu Xuande couldn't bear to see the lives ruined, so he sent a special cadre to ask Yuan Gong for help. Now Yuan Gong is in the land of Sizhou, and his soldiers are full of food, and Cao Thief is by no means the enemy of Yuan Gong. I also hope that Yuan Gong can send troops to rescue Xuzhou and help my lord Liu Xuande repel Cao thieves to support the righteousness of the world. Sun Qian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The righteousness of the world? That's a nice thing to say. "If just these few words can fool Yuan Shao and let him send troops to rescue Xuzhou, then Yuan Shao doesn't have to continue to mess around," Liu Bei couldn't bear to see the lives ruined? Then wouldn't he just surrender to Cao Cao? In this way, it can not only eliminate the war, but also save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, isn't it beautiful? ”

"Cao Cao is a thief who coerces the Son of Heaven, and my lord is a relative of the Han family, can An surrender him?" Sun Qian said awe-inspiringly.

"Hmph, if Cao Cao is a national thief, does that mean that my position as a general is also unjustifiable? Should I go to the court and return the post of general? Yuan Shao's face was slightly displeased, and he said in a mocking tone, "Cao Mengde was in danger of the Son of Heaven, raising righteous soldiers and supporting justice, which can be described as a hero of the Han family!" And that Liu Bei, who is just a weaver and peddler, has no evidence, and dares to call himself a member of the Han family? Such a villain, who was awarded the order of a county, is already blessed by Mu Tian, why did he take the position of state pastor by himself? Cao Mengde, it's just the right time! How could I send reinforcements to help this traitor? ”

Yuan Shao insulted Liu Bei in front of Sun Gan, making Sun Gan's face very ugly. However, at this time, Sun Qian was asking for help, and he didn't dare to attack on the spot, so he could only defend himself: "The position of Xuzhou pastor is definitely not usurped by my lord privately. Previously, when Tao Gongzu died, he had submitted a table to the court and transferred the position of Xuzhou pastor to my lord. However, at that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were rampant, so ......"

"Alright, no need to say more!" Yuan Shao interrupted Sun Gan's speech and said, "No matter what the reason, since you haven't received the edict, then Liu Bei, the Xuzhou pastor, is not right, don't you even understand this truth?" ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's attitude like this, Sun Qian knew that he probably would not easily agree to send reinforcements. In desperation, Sun Qian could only change his reason and tried to persuade Yuan Shao again: "Previously, Cao Cao was the son of heaven and awarded Yuan Gong the position of general, why is this? Because the Cao thief's power was not as strong as that of Yuan Gong, he had no choice but to retreat. After Cao Cao won the Son of Heaven, he has already owned Yanzhou and Sili, and if my lord is defeated in his hands, Xuzhou will also be gained! At that time, Cao Cao's power may no longer be under Yuan Gong, can he still be willing to succumb to Yuan Gong? ”

Hearing Sun Qian's words, Yuan Shao's face was a little uncertain. This is reasonable, if Cao Cao wins Xuzhou, his strength will definitely rise, and then he will be willing to be a general, but he himself is a car general?

"Lord, I think that Sun Gongyou's words are very reasonable." It was Don't drive Tian Feng who spoke, "If Cao Cao wins Xuzhou, then his power is so wide, looking at the whole world, it is only slightly inferior to the lord." At that time, if the lord wants to do it again, it will be much more difficult. You might as well take advantage of the time when he is fighting with Liu Bei this time, send troops to attack Xuchang, if he can recapture the Son of Heaven, it will be better, if not, he can also weaken Cao Cao's strength. ”

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes, obviously Tian Feng's proposal made him very excited. He had already missed an opportunity to hold the Son of Heaven in his hands. At this time, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou gave him another great opportunity, an opportunity for him to regain the power to command the world.

"Lord, Tian Yuanhao is talking nonsense, don't listen to his words." However, as soon as Tian Feng's voice fell, Guo Tu's voice immediately sounded.

In Yuan Ying, it is a well-known fact that Guo Tu and Tian Feng are not right. Guo Tu is sexual, Tian Feng is straight, and when these two people meet together, it is naturally intolerable.

"The lord, the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince, what do you value the most? It's nothing more than fame! I could only hear Guo Tu's slightly sharp voice ringing in the hall, "Cao Cao raised troops to welcome the Son of Heaven, that is because Li and Guo were rebellious, raised troops in the imperial capital, and trapped the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials in dire straits. And now, Cao Cao is extremely respectful to the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing lacking in the palace. Cao Cao also had no reproach for the hundred officials. If the lord attacks Xuchang, there is no righteousness, but it will be said by others to start a war in the national capital, which is a chaotic army. On the other hand, Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, and the person he served was the edict of the Son of Heaven. It is no different from rebellion for us to attack the rear of the expedition while they are under the edict. If the lord attacks Xuchang, his reputation will be greatly damaged. ”

"Moreover, not long after our army occupied the land of Sizhou, the soldiers are all tired, and it is time to rest and recuperate." After Guo Tu finished speaking, Feng Ji, who was good friends with him, immediately added, "Although Cao Cao led his army to conquer Xuzhou, Xuchang was not defenseless. As far as I know, there are still heavy troops under Cao Cao's command in Xuchang City. It must be known that Cao Cao also has a lot of good generals, and Lu Bu previously attacked the Dongjun city with only a few thousand people with an army of 30,000 people, but he could not overcome it for several days, and after Cao Cao returned to help, he was defeated and lost in Yanzhou. Although the strength of our army is far superior to that of Lu Bu's army, the garrison strength in Xuchang City today is several times better than that of the Dongjun City of that day. Our army is lone and deep, if it can't win for a while, there is only one way to retreat after Cao Cao's reinforcements, and then it is very unwise to add an enemy to Pingbai. ”

Hearing Guo Tu say this, Yuan Shao fell into a swing again.

"Lord, if you don't take it at this time, you will regret it in the future!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was hesitant at such a critical moment, he couldn't help but feel very annoyed. Fame? If you really attach so much importance to fame, then simply send the jade seal to Xuchang! As for Feng Ji's words, it is even more nonsense, this time the troops do not mean that Xuchang City must be taken, but just don't give Cao Cao such a chance to expand his power. It's just that if these words were said clearly, Yuan Shao would definitely be very unhappy, so Tian Feng could only throw down such a sentence that sounded quite angry.

"What if Cao Cao doesn't take me in his eyes after Xuzhou?" Since such a question was asked, it could already be seen that Yuan Shao had no interest in sending troops to aid Liu Bei at all.

"My lord, please be relieved." No matter what Yuan Shao's decision is, he will stand up and approve it as soon as possible, "Even if Cao Cao captures Xuzhou, he is still a lot worse than the lord in terms of strength, and he is not afraid that he will dare to be disrespectful to the lord." At that time, the lord's soldiers and horses have been rested, it is the time of majestic morale and peak combat power, if Cao Mengde really dares to have different intentions, the lord can attack it with all his strength, presumably Cao Cao can only look at the wind after witnessing the majesty of the lord's army. ”

"Hahahaha——! Today's matter has been discussed, come and send Liu Bei's envoy back to the pavilion to rest. Xu You's sycophants couldn't be more comfortable, which made Yuan Shao very happy, and ended the discussion with a few laughs, leaving only a depressed face Sun Qian who kept hanging his head and sighing, and Tian Feng, who had an angry face, stomped his feet in place again and again.
