After Wen Chou went back, Yuan Shao looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "It's up to Yan Liang!" ”

"Ahh At this time, Yan Liang, who had been bandaged, was lying on the bed and suddenly sneezed.

"What's going on?" Yan Liang scratched his head inexplicably, and then ordered, "No, let's set off and return to Yecheng immediately!" ”

Immediately, Yan Liang rushed towards Yecheng with the remnants of less than 5,000 soldiers.

……

"What ?!!!" Outside Shangdang County, in the camp of Yuan Shu's army, after Yuan Shu read Yuan Shao's reply, he was so angry that he threw the letter to the ground, "Impossible! When pigs fly! This Yuan Benchu is simply wishful thinking, and I'm so angry! I'm! ”

“？” Yan Xiang picked up the letter for some unknown reason and skimmed through it.

After reading it, Yan Xiang's brows furrowed, and he didn't know whether he should hand over the 40,000 soldiers and horses to Yuan Shao. If it is handed over, then Yuan Shu is a fish on the board, and Yuan Shao will slaughter it! But if you don't pay it, these 40,000 people don't even have a place to stay, this is really a dilemma!

"Whew!" Yuan Shu let out a sigh of relief and calmed down, "Yan Xiang, what do you think I should do?" ”

"Lord, this subordinate doesn't know what to do, if the 40,000 troops are handed over, then Yuan Shao wants to repent, we don't even have the strength to resist, if we don't pay, our grain and grass have run out, and now these 40,000 people are about to run out of food, what to do, and the lord needs to decide personally!" Yan Xiang shook his head.

"Yan Xiang, do you think we're good like this?" Yuan Shu thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "We will now capture this Shangdang, and after occupying the Shangdang City, we will talk to Yuan Benchu about the conditions!" ”

"My lord, this is not appropriate!" Yan Xiang immediately shook his head in denial.

"Why?" Yuan Shu is unknown.

"My lord, although our army has 40,000 soldiers, but after a long journey, the soldiers are all tired, how can we fight again? And this Shangdang is also a strong city, and there are not a few soldiers defending the city, how can our 40,000 tired soldiers capture this strong city? Yan Xiang slowly explained to Yuan Shu.

"Hey! It's not handed over now, and it's not handed over now! What can I do? What can I do?!! Yuan Shu sighed.

"Lord, why don't we send a letter back to Yuan Shao first, see what Yuan Shao's attitude is, and then we will make a decision!" Yan Xiang said.

"This ...... Will it work? Yuan Shu hesitated.

"No problem, my lord, you can write, our army is not short of food and grass, and it is not necessary to settle down in the annexation of the state, when the time is in the brotherhood, I came to the annexation of the state to help him Yuan Shao defend against foreign enemies! If you don't have soldiers and horses in your hands, how can you resist the Qiang and Xiongnu who are eyeing each other? Yan Xiang said with a smile.

"Good! Just write as you say! Yuan Shu nodded, went to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write.

"Someone, pass this letter to Yuan Shao!"

……

"Report to the lord, then Yuan Shu replied!" A few days later, Yuan Shao received a reply from Yuan Shu.

"Hahaha! Highway, highway, you say this, can I still not know what your situation is? After reading the letter, Yuan Shao laughed, "You said that you miss brotherhood? Bullshit! Didn't you still press me everywhere because you were your sister-in-law? Defend against foreign enemies? It's even more fart, Lao Tzu has his own army, can he use you? Got grain and grass? Then you can eat your own food and grass! ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly wrote a reply letter and asked people to send it to Yuan Shu, and specially added: "Don't worry, just pass the message slowly this time!" ”

As soon as this sentence was said, the soldiers who sent the message were stunned, and they didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant. But who makes the family the master? What he Yuan Shao said is stupid!

"Hehe, you still play tricks on me?" Yuan Shao smiled and shook his head.

A few more days later, this time the incident was much longer than the last time, and Yuan Shu finally received a reply from Yuan Shao.

"This ...... What can I do? Looking at Yuan Shao's resolute words when he replied, Yuan Shu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do at all.

"My lord, now that there is no food in the army, it will be a death if it drags on, it is better to agree to Yuan Shao's conditions, and then we will seek an opportunity to save this situation." Yan Xiang finished reading the letter, thought twice, and spoke.

"Hey! That's all it can be now! Yuan Shu sighed, Yan Xiang said the truth, if he didn't agree, it is estimated that the army can only eat tree bark and gnaw grass roots, right?

Yuan Shu hastily finished writing a letter, handed it to the messenger soldier, and then sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner.

Recalling everything that happened these days, he Yuan Shu originally sat on the rich land of Yuzhou, but because of the bewitchment of a little-known little person, he raised troops in Yanzhou, in a vain attempt to capture Cao Cao's lair, but what he never expected was that Cao Cao quietly led his troops and attacked the base camp of Yuzhou in his rear, taking Yuzhou with one move, making him a lost dog.

"Ding Chen! Ding Bosheng! If there is a day! Lao Tzu must crush your bones and scatter ashes! Vent the hatred in your heart! Yuan Shu looked up at the sky and yelled indignantly.

Yes, the cause of everything is this Ding Chen, but it is Li Ru and Jia Xu who are now sitting and drinking against Li Ru and Jia Xu who are controlling everything.

"Brother Wenhe, now the Central Plains is really in chaos!" Li Ru looked at the information coming from all over the place in his hand, "Yuan Shao used troops against Youzhou, Cao Cao's soldiers attacked Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou, Liu Bei supported Xuzhou but didn't want his Qingzhou to be attacked by the remnants of the Yellow Turban!" Yangzhou's Sun Jian and Liu Miao are still inseparable! Except for Jing and Yi, there is nothing to do in the two states, and there is war everywhere in the Central Plains! ”

"Hehe, isn't this exactly what you and I want?" Jia Xu smiled playfully.

"Haha, it's enough for Ru Pingsheng to have the confidant of Brother Wen and Brother Wen!" Li Ru exclaimed.

"Don't say anything else, as I said last time, did the person sent to inquire about the elixir jade liquid and the world's first paper making method send back the letter?" Jia Xu waved his hand.

"No, I suspect they've been exposed!" Li Ru shook his head, "It stands to reason that it's been nearly two months, even some minor things should be able to be transmitted back, but there is still no news, I wonder if I should send someone again?" ”

"Let's stop!" Jia Xu also shook his head, "The people we sent out can be regarded as the best scouts in our Xiliang, they all failed, what's the use of sending people again?" For today's plan, we still have to start with other states and counties, this Liaodong is still too tricky! ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Ru nodded.

"Is there any movement from the little emperor?" Jia Xu smiled grimly.

"It's okay for the time being, just crying every day, and I haven't done anything excessive!" Li Ru replied.

"We must keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything under our noses, then none of us will be able to explain!" Jia Xu's tone was as gloomy as ever.

"Hehe, of course, unless he doesn't want to live a good life now!" Li Ru also smiled gloomily.
