Yecheng, Hebei, Yuan's family.

Since Liu Bei came to Yecheng, Yuan Shao has not slept peacefully for several days.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Feng Ji, Trial and other people exchanged positions, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who had once been the main station, did not approve of Yuan Shao's use of troops against Cao Cao.

They advocated recuperation and recuperation, and ordered the soldiers to attack and harass the Cao family.

And Feng Ji, Xian Pei and others believe that the Cao family has been in a lot of wars recently, and it must have suffered a lot of losses.

Given the Cao family a chance, maybe two or three years later, Cao Cao will have the ability to fight with the Yuan family, rather than waiting for a few years, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Yuan family is in full swing and Cao Cao is not yet big, and quickly destroy the Cao family.

Liu Bei's room.

Yuan Shao sat on the head, and Liu Bei sat opposite him.

Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Yuan Shao asked Liu Bei: "Xuande has lived in Xudu for some days, what kind of person does he think Cao Cao is?" ”

"There is no honey-bellied sword on the outside, but there is a great talent." Liu Bei said: "Cao Cao is the hero of the matter. ”

"Cao Mengde is a hero in the world?" Yuan Shao smiled slightly and asked Liu Bei, "He is a hero, what am I?" ”

"In my opinion, Yuan Gong is certainly a hero." Liu Bei said: "It's just in the eyes of Cao Mengde......

"What's wrong with him?" Hearing that Liu Bei was about to say something good, Yuan Shao's tone became a little colder.

Liu Bei hurriedly got up and saluted: "Duke Yuan forgives the sin, it's better not to say it." ”

"Say it!" Yuan Shao said: "Xuande and I are not outsiders, even if we say something high or low, we won't blame you." ”

"Cao Cao once cooked wine with my green plums." Liu Bei said: "At that time, when he asked about the heroes of the world, I mentioned Yuan Gong. ”

"What did he say about me?" Yuan Shao asked in a colder tone.

"Cao Mengde said that Yuan Gong ......" Liu Bei licked his lips, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao secretly, then lowered his head and said, "It's better if I don't say it." ”

"If you want to say it, you can say it." The more Liu Bei didn't say it, the more Yuan Shao wanted to know, he frowned, and his tone was even worse than just now.

"Since Yuan Gong insists on asking, I'll say it." Liu Bei said: "Cao Mengde said that Yuan Gongcai is sparse and ambitious, and he is not afraid of it, and he is not a hero at all......"

"Cao Mengde!" Yuan Shao slapped on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "You deceived me too much!" ”

"Yuan Gong forgives his sins!" Yuan Shao was really angry, Liu Bei hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Cao Mengde is talking nonsense, but don't be in a bad mood because of him." ”

Clenching his fists, Yuan Shao said: "As soon as Xuande said this, it seems that I really have to let Cao Cao know who is the real hero!" ”

"Hebei soldiers are strong and strong, once Yuan Gong leads the army south, how can Cao Cao be an opponent." Liu Bei hurriedly said.

"But I have concerns." Yuan Shao said: "My family Fang'er is still in the Cao family......"

"If Duke Yuan uses troops, he can send someone to see Cao Cao." Liu Bei said: "If you ask him for a daughter, Cao Cao should not give it back." ”

"What if he refuses to ......," Yuan Shao asked, "so what should I do?" ”

"There's something I don't know whether to say or not." Liu Bei clenched his fists and bowed his head and said.

"Xuande, please speak." Yuan Shao motioned for him to continue.

"Yuan Gong feels sorry for his daughter, I know." Liu Bei said: "But the world's major events, how can they be delayed because of a woman? ”

Looking at Liu Bei, Yuan Shao suddenly sneered.

Furious from his laughter, Liu Bei clenched his fists and didn't dare to raise his head.

"It turns out that Xuande has such a mind, so he will repeatedly abandon his family and ignore it." Yuan Shao asked: "Xuzhou was attacked by Cao Zirong, I don't know where the Xuande family is?" ”

Yuan Shao didn't save face for Liu Bei at all, and made Liu Bei very embarrassed.

He was very embarrassed and said: "Back to Yuan Gong, Xuzhou was too chaotic at the beginning, I wanted to take them away, but I didn't have the opportunity." ”

"Cao Zirong has a saying that is very true." Yuan Shao said: "As a man, he can't even protect his own woman, what qualifications do you have to compete for the world." ”

After saying this, Yuan Shao stood up and walked to the door.

When he was about to go out, Yuan Shao said: "If I start a war with Cao Mengde, I will definitely not abandon Fang'er." You and I are both men, but I won't be like you, who can even leave my family behind in order to survive. ”

Yuan Shao's words were full of disdain, but Liu Bei didn't dare to reply.

He didn't even dare to argue, he just faced Yuan Shao and stood with his fists clenched.

Leaving the room, Yuan Shao instructed the guards: "Call Zhengnan and the others to my study, I have something to discuss with them." Don't call Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, I saw these two people recently, and I was not happy. ”

The guards who received the order left, and Yuan Shao returned to the study.

Not long after returning to the study, the judges, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others came one after another.

Everyone saluted, and Yuan Shao said, "You all sit down." ”

After taking his seat, the judge asked Yuan Shao, "Yuan Gong called us here, is there something important?" ”

"I went to see Liu Xuande just now." Yuan Shao said: "I learned from him that Cao Mengde actually dared to say behind my back that I was not. ”

"Cao Cao has such guts?" Feng Ji frowned, and said to Yuan Shao: "I said a long time ago that once Cao Mengde is full-fledged, it will definitely be unfavorable to the Yuan family. Now he is not as many soldiers and horses as Yuan Gong, and his territory is not as wide as Yuan Gong, and he still dares to chew his tongue behind his back. Once he is allowed to grow, I don't know what he will think of Yuan Gong. ”

"I have decided to crusade against Cao Cao." Yuan Shao said: "It's just that there is one more concern......

"Is Yuan Gong worried about Miss?" Guo Tu asked.

Yuan Shao nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Fang'er is still in the Cao family, and she is in the Cao family, and I will always be unable to be stable in my heart for a day." ”

"I have a way." Guo Tu said: "Let Yuan Gong justifiably ask the Cao family for Miss." ”

"What's the way to do it?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

"Yuan Gong can raise troops first." Guo Tu said: "The army should not cross the river, but just put on a posture of marching towards the Cao family. Cao Cao saw that Yuan Gong had made a move, and he was bound to respond. At that time, Yuan Gong will find him a provocative crime, and it is not justified to ask for a young lady? ”

"It's not hard to say it right." Yuan Shao said: "The key is who goes to ask the Cao family for it? ”

"The Third Son." Guo Tu said: "At the beginning, it was Xu Du who went to the third prince in person, and he and Cao Zirong had a good personal relationship, if he went, he would definitely be able to get back Miss smoothly." ”

Brushing his beard, Yuan Shao nodded and said, "What the public rule said is reasonable, I'll let someone call Xianfu." ”

"Someone!" He shouted to the door, "Go and call Xianfu." ”

A response from the guards came from outside the door.

When the guards left, Yuan Shao asked everyone again: "What should I do to make Cao Mengde move?" ”

"No matter what." Feng Ji said: "As long as Duke Yuan sends a force of troops and horses to advance to the Yellow River, Cao Cao will definitely have a response. ”

"Herald Yan Liang, garrison white horse!" Yuan Shao said: "I have made up my mind, crusade against Cao Cao!" ”
