Yuan Shu's gaze was the sharpest, staring at Cao Xing, and the momentum on his body was also slowly rising, towards Cao Xuan's oppression, and in the face of Yuan Shu's momentum oppression, although Cao Xuan was a little uncomfortable, he was still fearless, with no fear on his face, just standing there, like a reef resisting the impact of Yuan Shu's waves.

Yuan Shu said at this moment: "Cao Xing, you are so bold, Lu Bunai is a thief, and now he dares to send you to Pingyu City, aren't you afraid that I will kill you on the spot and send the head to Lu Bu to deter the world?" ”

Cao Xing's complexion changed slightly, but he was still fearless, and said: "My family Wen Hou helped Wang Situ to eradicate the national thief Dong Zhuo, and now he withdrew from Chang'an because of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and came to Yuzhou to attach himself to General Hou, if General Hou has this attitude, I think I can go back and tell Wen Hou that General Hou is not enough to attach." ”

Yuan Shu's face was angry at this moment, and he patted the table in front of him, and the power of his soul shook all directions, and said, "Cao Xing, you are so bold!" ”

In the face of Yuan Shu's furious flames, Cao Xuan did not have the slightest fear, standing in place, looking at Yuan Shu.

He is one of the most important generals under Lu Bu's eight members, and Lu Bu is the first fierce general in the world, under the leadership of Lu Bu, the main general, Cao Xing does not have much awe for these princes. For them, which side of the princes to vote for is not to vote, Yuan Shu does not accept them, there are always princes who are willing to accept them, so Cao Xing's attitude is also very tough.

Yuan Shu looked at Cao Xing in front of him, slowly restrained the anger in his heart, and then said: "Cao Xing, I can accept Lu Bu and you, and even I won't touch any of you, but I want to see Lu Bu's sincerity first, ten days later, I will set up a banquet in Pingyu City, when the time comes, I want to see Lu Bu come to the banquet alone, if he dares, I will agree to your request, if he doesn't dare, then you will get out of Yuzhou as soon as possible, otherwise when the army is pressed, it will be difficult to say at that time." ”

Cao Xuan said: "Cao Xuan needs to return to Wenhou to care about this matter. ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll wait in Pingyu City in ten days, if Lu Bu doesn't come, I will raise troops to enter Yingchuan." ”

Cao Xuan also heard the threat in Yuan Shu's words, but they didn't care about it. If Yuan Shu was an elite cavalry like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they might still be afraid of one or two, but although Yuan Shu had many soldiers and horses, it did not make Cao Xuan and other soldiers of the state army feel jealous or tricky, so Cao Xuan didn't care about this threat.

After Cao Xing retreated, all the think tanks under his command scolded one after another, saying that this Cao Xing was too arrogant and rude.

Yuan Yin stepped forward and said, "Lord, looking at this Cao Xing's behavior, can you know how Lu Bu is a person?" If the lord takes Lu Bu under his command, I am afraid that he will be scolded by the people of the world, and secondly, Lu Bu is arrogant and arrogant, and he has a supreme strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to control. ”

Xun Yue also stood up in solidarity with Yuan Yin at this time, and said: "Lord, the 20,000 wolf riders under Lu Bu's command are the elite of the world, and there is Lu Bu, a fierce general, if Lu Bu has two hearts, then I'm afraid Yuzhou is in danger." ”

Yuan Shu said: "Lu Bu is indeed difficult to control, but this person has unparalleled martial arts in the world, and now he has taken the initiative to come up and take effect, so I really don't want to give up." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu's gaze turned, constantly rotating on the people in front of him, and finally fell on Yuan Yao, and said, "Yao'er, what do you think about Lu Bu's matter?" ”

Yuan Yao didn't expect Yuan Shu to call his name, and he was a little flustered for a while, but after getting up, he made up a statement in his mind.

Since Yuan Shu had decided to take Lu Bu under his command, Yuan Yao couldn't go against Yuan Shu, otherwise he would be disgusted by Yuan Shu, which would be detrimental to Yuan Yao's future plans.

"Father, the child thinks that Lu Bu can be accepted, but he must suppress one or two, and he can't let Lu Bu bring his arrogance to my Yuzhou. The child thinks that he can let Captain Xu Chu have a fight with Lu Bu, with the strength of Captain Xu Chu, even if he is not Lu Bu's opponent, he will not be easily defeated, which is enough to suppress Lu Bu's arrogance and let him know that his father's command is not without the power to counter him. Moreover, the 20,000 wolf cavalry under the command of Lu Bu had to be defended, if Lu Bu led the troops to attack, his family must stay in Pingyu City to control Lu Bu. ”

After Yuan Yao finished speaking, everyone looked appreciative, because what Yuan Yao said was indeed very reasonable, Lu Bu wanted to accept it, but he also needed to suppress one side, let Lu Bu know that he was not indispensable under Yuan Shu, and it was best to let Lu Bu's arrogance be extinguished, although this was unlikely.

As for taking Lu Bu's wife and children as hostages, this point was not opposed by everyone, even if Dong Zhongshu proposed to "depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone" when Emperor Wu was the emperor. But at least in this era, Confucianism's ability and ideas cannot cover the sky with one hand, and a hundred schools of thought still exist in this world.

And all the people present in front of Yuan Shu are not true Confucian heirs, even if they are Confucian people, they are not sour Confucianism or rotten Confucianism, and naturally know the truth of checks and balances.

Only if Lu Bu's family is in Pingyu City, Lu Bu will not rebel when he is afraid, otherwise, if Lu Bu rebels at a critical moment, with his powerful force and the 20,000 wolf riders under his command, it will definitely bring unimaginable troubles to Yuan Shu.

Therefore, it is very necessary to use Lu Bu's family as a hostage to control Lu Bu.

"And." Yuan Yao said again at this time: "Jingzhou Liu Biao offended me Nanyang, since Lu Bu is going to rely on his father now, then he is just using his strength to deal with Liu Biao, I don't believe that our side plus Lu Bu and Liu Biao can still resist." Liu Biao's move cannot be tolerated, and the world must know the majesty of his father, otherwise anyone will dare to jump out against his father in the future. ”

Yuan Shu was even more satisfied with Yuan Yao when he heard this, what Yuan Yao said was to use Lu Bu to deal with Liu Biao, but Yuan Shu thought of using Liu Biao to weaken Lu Bu's strength, after all, Lu Bu, who had 20,000 wolf horses in his hand, still made Yuan Shu feel quite tricky, if he could weaken Lu Bu's strength with the help of Liu Biao, then Yuan Shu would be more confident in controlling Lu Bu.

However, now these are just fantasies, whether they can be really implemented depends on whether Lu Bu comes back to the banquet after ten days, Yuan Shu has given Lu Bu ten days, in fact, the speed of the neighing red rabbit horse, from Yingchuan to Pingyu does not take a day, but Yuan Shu still gave Lu Bu some time to think.
