The battle outside the Bohai City affected the minds of all parties, and Yuan Shao sent Xu You to Xuchang to persuade Cao Cao to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei was powerful, so Xu You's arrival made Cao Cao attach great importance to it. But Cao Cao did not rush to send troops, firstly, he had just eaten Yuan Shu's territory and had not yet digested it, and another was that the DPRK had been a little unstable recently. The ministers led by Fu Wan and Dong Cheng privately formed an alliance with the intention of forcing Cao Cao to return to power to the emperor!

At the same time, there were many rumors in Xuchang City, some saying that Cao Cao wanted to be the second Dong Zhuo! Some say that Cao Cao wants to abolish the emperor and ascend the throne himself, etc. One by one, there are noses and eyes, and there are many versions.

Cao Cao naturally heard these rumors, and he was furious at the moment and sent someone to investigate in detail! But the source of this rumor has never been found. And at this moment, Xun Yu, one of his subordinate masterminds, accepted Fu Wan's invitation to go to the banquet! This made Cao Cao a little difficult to accept! So there was an irreparable rift in the relationship between him and Xun Yu!

Therefore, Xu You's arrival made Cao Cao see an opportunity, but he didn't dare to act rashly. After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to use the cheapest weapon in his hands, which was the Holy Decree. At this moment, Yuan Shu has been extinguished, although everyone is doing their own thing, but they are still advertised as Hanchen! Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to use the holy decree to solve the crisis, and it was not Xiao Huangmen who was sent to announce the decree, but Xun Yu instead!

Xun Yu was also stunned when he received Cao Cao's order to go to Qingzhou to announce the decree, and then his face became ugly! This is a dangerous signal, although Xun Yu is a humble gentleman, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is also very smart. After a little thought, he knew that Cao Cao must have thought that he was too close to the royalists. So he was going to beat him up, and after figuring out this section, Xun Yu sighed and accepted this order helplessly. Choose a day to send Qingzhou to announce the decree!

Liu Bei can be said to be proud of the spring breeze at this time, not to mention that he is about to have a future, and now his subordinates can be said to be strong and strong, with plenty of money and food. This also benefits from Qingzhou salt and Qingzhou paper. Qingzhou salt is now not only produced in Qingzhou, the Mi family has also established a number of salt fields in Xuzhou, now Liu Bei's subordinates can produce 5,000 quintals of salt every day, and a load can be sold for 200 yuan, think about how much wealth this is! This is only the first sale of Qingzhou salt, and the price of reselling it after that is three or five times or even more than ten times higher! Salt made the people crazy, and Liu Bei, in order to control the private salt trafficking, opened Qingzhou salt stores in all the big cities under his rule. Moreover, a special salt administration yamen was set up to manage this matter, and Mi Zhu was the first salt political envoy.

Compared with Qingzhou salt, the best-selling degree of Qingzhou paper is not low at all. Even orders to buy paper have been lined up from now until the end of the year. The high-quality Qingzhou paper Han Fei only sells for 200 pieces here, but if you go to Chang'an, a piece of paper can be fried twice! Ten times the profit, which is enough to make a big family blush.

Liu Bei has these two tools to accumulate wealth, so that his wealth at the moment is constantly accumulating, so Qingzhou and Xuzhou under his rule are showing a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

Since Xun Yu stepped on the land of Qingzhou, he felt a different scene from Yanzhou. The people here are rich, although they can't reach the realm of not picking up the road and not closing their doors at night, but the people's lives are indeed more than a step higher than Yanzhou.

Therefore, Xun Yu deliberately slowed down, and whenever he went, he carefully observed, and then talked to the local people to understand. So much so that it took fifteen days to travel from Xuchang to Changyi. Xun Yu finally arrived in Changyi City! At this moment, Changyi City has been basically completed, this is a super large city, and there are 10,000 merchants in the east and west markets of the outer city. Coupled with the residential areas in the north and south, the whole outer city seems extremely lively.

When Xun Yu and his entourage arrived, someone had already come to greet them, and then directly arranged for them to live in the post house. The next day, Xun Yu bathed and changed his clothes, and came to the governor's mansion with the holy decree.

Liu Bei warmly received Xun Yu and his entourage, and after the politeness, Xun Yu began to read out the holy decree. The content of the holy decree is very simple, which means that Liu Bei should stop his troops, not attack Yuan Shao, and that harmony between neighbors should prevail. Finally, he also said that if Liu Bei Gu does not withdraw his troops, then the imperial court will send troops to crusade!

Liu Bei accepted the order at the moment but did not express his position, Xun Yu saw that his task was completed when he accepted the order. I'm going to say goodbye and leave now, Liu Bei doesn't follow! There was a big banquet in the house, and Tian Feng, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others were also invited to sit together. This meal is not over until late at night!

After the banquet, Xun Yu was sent back to the post house without mentioning it, and Liu Bei stopped Tian Feng, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong. They followed Liu Bei all the way to his study, when a guard retreated after serving tea.

Liu Bei motioned for the three of them to sit down and then spoke: "Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, let me withdraw my troops from Bohai City!" What do you guys think? ”

Jian Yong stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "In my opinion, the lord can ignore it!" Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao wants to do Dong Zhuo's thing, and the order of the Son of Heaven can't leave the palace at all! Naturally, there is no need to abide by such disorderly orders! ”

Liu Bei felt justified after hearing this, so he nodded and turned his head to look at Tian Feng and Sun Qian. Sun Qian coughed lightly and said, "Lord, I think the lord might as well agree first!" Then it is enough to prevaricate on the grounds that 'the foreign monarch's order will not be granted'! In addition, you can write a letter and ask the little military master how to decide! ”

Liu Bei also felt reasonable after hearing this, and nodded at the moment. At this time, the two of them had finished speaking, and the remaining Tian Feng also spoke: "Lord, the little military division has taken away the two generals Guan Zhang and General Tai Shici, and at present, there are only two generals in Qingzhou, Zangba and Zhang He, if Cao Cao really comes to attack, it will be difficult to resist, why not transfer back to Zhao Yun in Liaodong in case of emergency!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "What the three of them said makes sense, let's drag it out here first!" I'll send a letter to Zicong! See how he wants to deal with it himself. On the other hand, there are indeed fewer generals in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, so I will transfer Zhao Yun back to listen! ”

After saying this, several people discussed the affairs of Qingzhou again, and they did not disperse until the early hours of the morning! Liu Bei wrote two letters here, and one letter was sent to Han Fei in the military camp overnight! The other letter was addressed to Zhao Yun in Liaodong, asking him to return to Qingzhou quickly after receiving the letter!

Liu Bei's letter was delivered to Han Fei early the morning of the second day after he broke the formation! Han Fei opened the letter and couldn't help laughing! This Cao Cao is really coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes drift away on the road, he won't really think that a holy decree will lead him to submission! Thinking of this, Han Fei wrote back to Liu Bei: "Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Bohai City is about to be broken!" I also hope that the lord will not order the withdrawal of troops! ”

One more, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a collection, ask for a reward!

Thank you for the tip! It's good to have you!
