Strictly speaking, this time the matter is actually not something that Liu Bei can decide at all, yes, he did come for those people in Xiapi, but unfortunately those people in Xiapi did not give him enough rights when he came. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, except for the limited promises, what Liu Bei brought this time was only lip service. Yan Shao is not Han Fu, but he will not send out the country that has already arrived in his hand because of one or two sentences, not to mention that Han Fu also chose to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao in the case of internal and external troubles, not just listening to a few words―――――― at that time, in addition to Gongsun Zhan's army, there was also a rebellion in Jizhou, and it was huge, which was the final reason why Han Fu finally decided to let Jizhou out.

And to be honest, Liu Bei inevitably felt a little weak when facing Yan Shao. It's not that he's sorry for Yan Shao, but Tao Qian promised to give Yan Shao grain and grass as a reward, but he didn't do it, but gave him the grain and grass. Although Liu Bei didn't know about this matter before, he felt a little embarrassed after knowing it now.

At the same time, looking at Liu Bei's departing back, Yan Shao also pursed his lips.

He knew very well that if he let Liu Bei go again this time, he might not have such a good opportunity in the future.

But if Liu Bei is not let go, it is impossible to defend Xuzhou with Tao Qian's incompetent puppet alone. His current strength is indeed very strong, the iron army under his command is like a forest, and the fierce generals are like clouds, but even so, in the face of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yan Shao still does not have much self-confidence.

is Yuan Shao, although his ability is weaker, he is also a hero who can unify Hebei, and his strength is even stronger to the extreme.

If Yan Shao despises him because of his defeat in history, he will not know how to die in the end.

"Farewell..."Knowing that the empty vernacular was not enough to move Yan Shao, Liu Bei shook his head and arched his hand at Yan Shao.

Zhang Fei next to him still seemed to be a little indignant, but under Guan Yu's supervision, he couldn't do anything. What's more, Zhang Fei is just reckless but not stupid, he knows very well what will happen if he really does something at this time, and he is more honest.

"Since Xuande is leaving, then I won't keep it, but please help me bring a word to Tao Gongzu, since he has no faith in his words, he doesn't plan to take out the reward promised to me, since I have already obtained Langxie, and his account will be cleared. He and the villains under his account don't have to worry that I will continue to march south, at least for now I don't have much interest in the states and counties under his rule, as for the future? When I've solved all the other problems, if he's still alive, I'll talk to him..."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he could only nod yes.

You can imagine what Tao Qian's expression would be after hearing these words, but these are not something that Liu Bei can manage. It's a big deal that after arriving in Xiapi, he first discussed it with Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, and then embellished his words, so that he would not be so straightforward and unbearable...

But just as Liu Bei was about to lead his two brothers and Jian Yong, who basically didn't speak much after coming this time, an officer who gave orders suddenly broke in outside. The officer didn't seem to notice that the hall had just eased up, but the atmosphere was still tense, and he reported directly to Yan Shaoyu.

"Lord, the news just came that Lu Bu fought with Cao Cao and returned defeated..."

The message is brief, but it gives an idea of what is going on.

At this time, Liu Bei had just walked out not far away, and when he heard this, he immediately turned around, Yan Shao was also a flurry, and he didn't care about Liu Bei, but just looked at the officer.

"Lu Bu is defeated?"

"Yes, it is said that he suffered heavy losses in an engagement with Cao Cao..."To be reasonable, Lang Xie is still some distance away from Yanzhou, and the information obtained by that officer is actually not particularly detailed.

Hearing this, Yan Shao frowned for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall also seemed a little dignified.

Liu Bei next to him was a little embarrassed, he was also very interested in Lu Bu's news, but the other party didn't keep him, it didn't seem very good for him to stay here like this, and finally hesitated, or left with his fists clenched.

After a while, only Yan Shao and others were left in the hall.

At this time, the subordinates in the palace had basically left, leaving only Yan Shao, Zhao Yun and others, plus a group of armor soldiers who broke in earlier.

Looking at the side hall where there were a few fewer people, Yan Shao waved his hand, and those armor soldiers immediately left the hall obediently, and when the sound of the armor gradually disappeared, the hall was instantly empty, which couldn't help but remind him of a very interesting story in the later generations. But now is not the time to discuss these, looking at Li Ru, Tai Shici and the others, Yan Shao groaned.

"I don't want Lu Bu to lose so quickly, is Cao Cao's strength stronger than expected, or is Lu Bu too useless?"

"My lord, now is not the time to think about this." Tai Shi Ci hugged his fists, he was already heroic, and because he was in a high position over the years, he also had a trace of majesty on his body. "Lu Bu is the most important link for us to contain Cao Cao, if he is defeated, it means that Cao Cao can calmly set up a formation, maybe when he will lead the troops to invade Xuzhou again, now we have a stalemate with Xuzhou, that Tao Gongzu is an incompetent person, if he really captures Xuzhou, it is also a tricky thing for us..."

"What should Ziyi do?"

"In my opinion, you should send someone to inquire about the details first, see what the current situation of Lu Bu is, if you still have some strength, you can give some support first, if it has failed, you can take it to Qingzhou..." Since Tao Qian can use Liu Bei as his gatekeeper, why can't we do so? ”

"General Ziyi is taking it for granted..."Hearing this, Li Ru, who had been silent, spoke. Lu Bu is brave and unscrupulous, forgetting his righteousness for the sake of profit, the previous killing of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo can prove that if such a person is introduced into Qingzhou as a barrier, isn't the general afraid that he will bite back in the future? ”

It's no wonder he said that, but he still remembers how his father-in-law and even his whole family died. That's right, the first evil is Wang Yun, but without Lu Bu, Wang Yun's strategy would not have succeeded. Although Li Ru also knows very well that his father-in-law has also played a great role in this, if his father-in-law had not fallen for someone else's serial scheme and alienated Lu Bu, things might not have turned out like this. But after all, Li Ru went to all his relatives, even if his own side didn't have much reason in this matter?

Of course, since he has become Yan Shao's staff and strategist, he can't be rash.

At least in front of Yan Shao, he absolutely can't, he knows very well that his lord doesn't look young, but he is very clever, although he doesn't know much about strategy, but he is not a person who is easy to deceive. If he finds himself in the middle of it, then he will be afraid that he will be the one who will be disadvantaged.

But he can't let Lu Bu come to Qingzhou, his grievances with Lu Bu are too deep, and when Lu Bu is far away, he can still be calmer. If Lu Bu really came to Qingzhou, I was afraid that there would be nothing else he was thinking about except how to kill Lu Bu. Such a situation is very undesirable for any strategist, especially for Li Ru.

"How can you say that..."Of course, Tai Shici didn't know the story of Li Ru and everything he was carrying, so he naturally retorted. General Ding Yuan didn't mention it for the time being, Dong Zhuo was brutal and unkind, and Lu Bu was just assisting Wang Situ to eradicate a traitorous minister, but for the sake of the country, this is what any loyal minister should do, how can it be compared? ”

Although they parted ways later, Tai Shici and Lu Bu were friends after all. What's more, Lu Bu's cooperation with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo was a heroic move to spread to the world. This is also why after Lu Bu left Chang'an, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu accepted him―――――― not only because he was the benefactor of the Yuan family, but also because he did this to eradicate a big evil. If it weren't for Lu Bu's temperament not being very good, and he was too indulgent to his subordinates, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu couldn't help it, but I was afraid that he would still be relatively at ease now.

And after Lu Bu eradicated Dong Zhuo, Tai Shici's senses for Lu Bu also improved, and even thought that he would kill Ding Yuan because he was deceived by others, and later eradicated Dong Zhuo, which was a righteous move, and it was a prodigal son to turn back and something like that, so he naturally had to help defend one or two/

"Then what should he say about killing Ding Yuan earlier to curry favor with Dong Zhuo?" Li Ru said a little unceremoniously.

He may be able to compromise on other things, or he can keep a low profile, but this is the only thing...

This is the only thing, but he can't compromise no matter what...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Regarding Li Ru's situation, Yan Shao is somewhat clear. At least he knew that Li Ru's entire family was killed, and he had a deep connection with Lu Bu. It is a matter of course that he will hate Lu Bu, and he has not thought of some poisonous schemes to harm Lu Bu yet, firstly, because he is still relatively sober, at least his mind is relatively sober, and secondly, he knows very well that he will never allow it. But if Lu Bu really came, things would not be easy to say.

Thinking of this, Yan Shao had already made some decisions.

"Lu Bu is really not suitable for introducing Qingzhou..."Saying that, Yan Shao looked at Tai Shici next to him, and saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he hurriedly spoke. Ziyi and listen to me, after Lu Bu left Chang'an, he took refuge in Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao successively, but in the end they all left from them, especially on Yuan Shao's side, he was almost assassinated by Yuan Shao's people, why is this? You must know that Lu Bu is the benefactor of the Yuan family, treat his benefactor like this? ”

"It's really that Lu Bu's character is too unruly, plus he indulges his soldiers and horses, and often lets them plunder places for their own use, which is unacceptable to any monarch, so even if there is some kindness, it is gone in this case..."

Yes, how can the kindness be?

Letting a scourge make trouble in his own house all day long, I'm afraid I can't accept it, not to mention Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the two cautious guys.

It can only be said that in terms of caution alone, the two of them are indeed worthy of being brothers.

"This..."Tai Shi Ci was more or less aware of this matter, so he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, now the news we get is only Lu Bu's defeat, and the specific situation is not clear, Lu Bu may not have really completely lost the ability to fight, maybe it is just more losses, if this is the case, we can take out some resources from Qingzhou's inventory to help Lu Bu, as long as he stands firm in Yanzhou, wouldn't everything be easy to say? I believe that our flying general would never want to send someone under the fence..."

I can't say for sure, in fact, Lu Bu is a relatively unambitious person, which can be seen from what he has done, of course, this has also directly led to his demise. It can be seen from the Three Kingdoms that almost all of the people who survived in the end were people who had the world in mind. Needless to say, Cao Cao has always wanted to unify the world and support the Han family, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

and Liu Bei, who is a relative of the Han family, has always wanted to be able to turn the tide.

And what about the Sun family? Sun Jian secretly hid the jade seal, which had been proven to be ill-intentioned, but in the end he died miserably.

And what about Sun Ce? has stronger ambition than his father, and Sun Quan was a little worse until the end, but that is also because there are too many disputes within Jiangdong, which makes him powerless at all, plus his personal combat effectiveness is too rubbish, otherwise things may be really difficult to say.

and that Yuan Shao, who is also world-minded, Yuan Shu, ambitious, and the strongest prince in the early days.

On the other hand, those who have no ambitions, Liu Zhang has been trapped in Yizhou, and in the end, even his own state and county were taken away by the brothers of the same clan.

Ma Teng, after arriving in Beijing, was killed by Cao Cao's whole family, of course, this is also related to the fact that he has a good son.

and Tao Qian, the same, Liu Biao is better, but the harvest is more than enough, and the progress is insufficient, and in the end, everything he has was given to Cao Cao by his wife and brother-in-law.

After listening to Yan Shao's words, Tai Shici understood that Yan Shao had already made a decision, so he didn't say anything more.

As for Yan Shao?

If he could, in fact, he was really a little interested in Lu Bu, after all, he was the most courageous general in the Three Kingdoms period, his force value was off the charts, and he also had extraordinary combat ability, which can be seen from the moment he first arrived in Puyang, Cao Cao almost lost his life in a big defeat.

It's a pity that no matter which way you look at it, Lu Bu is not a good subordinate, so...

Let's let him stay in his Yanzhou...

If it doesn't work, he may be able to accept one or two, but for now, it is most important to let him drag Cao Cao in Yanzhou first.
