Yangzhou, Lujiang County.

After Yuan Xi left Nanchang, he took a boat up the river into the Yangtze River basin, intending to arrive in Xuzhou directly through the Yangtze River, but he was going to visit Liu Bei, the king of Qi.

Soon, when I was about to arrive in Chungu County, I suddenly came to a building boat, which was several feet high, with three floors, and was surrounded by a female wall, as well as catapults and other equipment, as if the city was in general.

Yuan Xi looked intently, and there were two large flags fluttering on the ship, one with King Chen Guoyue and the other with Zhou.

"Yue Wang Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin?" Yuan Xi thought to himself, and at the same time ordered the soldiers around him to stop being on guard.

Soon, the building boat came to the boat that Yuan Xi was on, and then Yuan Xi heard a hearty laugh, "Presumably Your Excellency is Yuan Gongzi, the son of Han Yangong, right?" This king is Chen Guoyue, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who received a letter from the saint and came to greet him. ”

When I looked up, I saw the man, his eyes like night, deep and mysterious. The face is like an orchid, noble and elegant. Eguan Bo belt, gentle and elegant. Holding a white feather fan, he fanned it slowly on his chest.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Yue, Xi is polite." Yuan Xi said to Zhou Yu when he heard this.

"Yuan Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please get on the boat." Zhou Yu shook the feather fan lightly and looked at Yuan Xi and smiled, and then a rope ladder was put down.

In this regard, Yuan Xi didn't say much, and directly took people to the ship. As soon as I came up, I saw that a banquet had been set up on the deck.

"Yuan Gongzi came from afar, some Jiangnan wine and food, although it is not as good as the food of the Central Plains, but it has a different flavor when I think about it." Zhou Yu waved his feather fan lightly, compared it to the banquet and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is so polite." Yuan Xi thanked him.

Then, the two took their seats and raised their glasses to drink.

After drinking three glasses, Zhou Yu put down the wine glass and looked at Yuan Xi and said with a smile, "In the letter sent by the saint, I have already told Yu about it. Come to think of it, Yuan Gongzi is planning to go to Xuzhou this time, right? ”

"Yes, but I plan to go to Xuzhou to meet His Royal Highness King Qi." Yuan Xi replied with a smile, but he didn't mean to hide it.

"Hehe, I don't know who came up with this conspiracy under Han Yangong?" Zhou Yu poured a full glass of wine for Yuan Xi and asked with a smile.

"But it's not talented." Yuan Xi took a sip and said lightly.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu paused when he heard this, his eyes swept over Yuan Xi again, and then he shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Yuan Gongzi's plan, hehe, Yuan Gongzi is so handy, but after hearing about it, this king was so shocked that he couldn't sleep for a few days~"

One sentence suddenly made Yuan Xi frown, "Why did Your Highness say this?" I have long heard that His Royal Highness's wisdom is not inferior to that of Marquis Wen Cheng, can't I still see the current situation clearly? ”

"Yes, under Fang today, the Duke of Han Zhao occupies Bingzhou, Sili, and Liangzhou, and the fierce generals under his command are like clouds and strategists are like rain, and the people love the soldiers with one heart, compared to the Qin State in the past, but it is more than that." Hearing this, Zhou Yu shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile, "And Han Zhao Gong himself, both civil and military, is unparalleled in the world, and throughout the dynasties, there is no figure who can be compared." If you don't use a conspiracy plan, I'm afraid there will be no one in the world who is its opponent. ”

It's just that at this point, Zhou Yu's words changed abruptly, and he smiled in a meaningful tone, "But Yuan Gongzi's plan is probably not just to fight against Han Zhaogong, right?" For example, today, in addition to their own country, the rest are Hanchen. However, the Duke of Han Zhao has already announced to the world that the Han Emperor and the hundred officials have been killed, so ......"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, a trace of gloom flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to speak so bluntly, and from the beginning, his title to Yuan Xi, Li Yi and others all expressed the attitude of Chen Guo and his Zhou Yu, which made Yuan Xi sound very uncomfortable.

However, this haze is fleeting, "Hehe, as His Royal Highness said, Zhang Ning's demon woman caused chaos in the dynasty, brutalized the first emperor, slaughtered hundreds of officials, and built a peaceful thief country." But it is precisely like this, if it were not for my father to set up a new emperor and establish a court to stabilize the situation, I am afraid that the world would become even more chaotic......" Yuan Xi chuckled and said something meaningful.

"Hahahaha~ Well said!" Zhou Yu laughed when he heard this, poured a full glass for Yuan Xi again, and then raised his glass and said loudly, "Since this is the case, this king will use this glass of wine to wish Yuan Gongzi success in persuading King Hanqi!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness......" Yuan Xi raised his wine glass, also with a bright smile on his face.

Subsequently, the two stopped talking about the matter, but began to talk about the past and the present. Both of them are erudite, gentle and elegant people, and the more they talk, the more they feel that each other and themselves are so imaginary and tacit.

A few days later, the ship arrived in Jiangcheng County, Danyang County.

"Xianyi, Yu can only be sent here, be careful all the way." Zhou Yu stood on top of the boat, looked at Yuan Xi, who had already gotten on the boat, and smiled.

"Gongjin, please go back, I hope that one day, you and I can talk about the past and the present together." Yuan Xi stood below, looking at Zhou Yu and smiling.

"Haha~ borrowed to show Yijiyan! Yu go also! Zhou Yu laughed when he heard this, and then disappeared into the bow of the boat. And the huge building ship also turned around and slowly sailed towards the way it came.

"Hehe, it's really ......" Yuan Xi shook his head, and Yuan Xi was really a little speechless for Zhou Yu to tease himself before leaving. But then, he sorted out his mood, because the next step was the real test.

A few days later, Xuzhou Xiapi State Xiapi City.

"Oh? Yan Gong's envoy asks to see? Liu Bei sighed lightly, his fingers lightly tapped on the desk, and his eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity.

"Father, in the eyes of a child, the person who came must want to learn from Su Qin and do that indulgent plan." Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly said when he saw this.

"Well, it should be as my son said, it's just a ...... of cooperation" Liu Bei groaned, obviously a little resistant to uniting with Yuan Shao.

"Your Highness is worried about the affairs of the imperial court?" Xun Di on the side asked respectfully. Although it has only been long since he took refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Bei has already made him one of the most important staff members under his command.

"Yes, Duke Yan supported the new emperor without authorization, although there are reasons from Chang'an, but it is not orthodox after all, if I unite with him, ......" Liu Bei said with a frown.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Xun Di were silent, because even if they were as wise as them, they didn't know how to solve Liu Bei's problem.

"Father, how about you listen to what the envoy has to say?" Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and then proposed.

"Hmm...... It's good. Gather the civil and military forces, and let's listen to what the envoy of Yan Gong has to say~" Liu Bei heard this, nodded and smiled.

Not long after, a handsome son appeared in front of everyone, "The son of Duke Yan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi, the minister of Zhongshan State, have seen His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”
