Chapter 158: The Matter of the Alliance
"It's not difficult to spare Guo Tu's life, but the lord has to promise Feng one thing, no matter how Liu He pleads, the lord should not agree to an alliance with him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info" Tian Feng took a deep look at Yuan Shao and said solemnly.
"Huh? Why is that? Liu Yuanjun helped me recover Yecheng and protect our family, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace for my wife and children, shouldn't we repay this kindness? What's more, people are only proposing an alliance, which is good for both of us. β
Yuan Shao saw that Liu He really helped him relieve the siege of Yecheng, and he was very grateful and convinced of Tian Feng, and was about to take the initiative to propose an alliance, but he didn't expect Tian Feng to suddenly come to such a sentence, and he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said.
I saw Tian Feng said: "Although this Liu He seems to be very benevolent and righteous, but the more such a person, the greater the threat to us, now his power has spread all over Guanzhong, Nanyang, Hedong and Shangdang, and now fortunately there are black mountain thieves pestering him, otherwise, once he captures Taiyuan again, it will be connected with Youzhou, and at that time, it will become a big trouble for us, because no matter the combat power under his command, or the territory he has, it is by no means comparable to the black mountain thieves or Gongsun Zhan." β
"This ......", Yuan Shao also felt very reasonable when he heard this, so he immediately hesitated.
But unexpectedly, Guo Tu stepped forward and said: "Lord, don't listen to Tian Feng's slander, he is trying to trap the lord in a place of injustice, lord and think about it, the lord has always had a close relationship with Liu Youzhou, after so many years, Liu Youzhou also has an army of 100,000, right?" Have you ever taken the initiative to wage a war against us? Isn't it a strong objection to Gongsun Chan fighting with us every time? And Liu Sili is Liu Youzhou's son, as long as Liu Youzhou is against it, how can Liu Sili really start a war with us? Besides, although Liu Sili occupies a lot of places, those places are all places where thieves are entrenched, and there has never been a battle with the princes, so Tu thinks that cooperating with Liu Sili will have a hundred benefits and no harm, and the lord should not listen to the villain's words, resulting in the loss of friendship with Liu Sili. β
Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, but asked, "Guo Gongze, Tian Beijia just spared your life, how can you immediately oppose his suggestion?" Won't you be reviled and will take revenge? β
I saw Guo Tu Zhengse say: "Tian Don't spare my Guo Tu's life, I will be rewarded in the future, but I can't abolish the public with my own personal kindness, and delay the country's major affairs because of my personal kindness, so that the lord will make people laugh." β
"Well, the public rule can be so clear about public and private, quite like the style of the ancients, and he is really a big husband." Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed.
Xin Ping on the side also stepped forward and said: "Guo Gong is very true, please think twice!" Xin Ping and Guo Tu have a personal relationship, and they both support Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan as the heir, so they naturally have to express their support in this case.
Feng Ji and Fu Zhi spoke out against it, thinking that Tian Feng was right. Frustration is based on his own wisdom and judgment, and Feng Ji is purely because of discord with Guo Tu.
However, the next trial supported Guo Tu's remarks, believing that he should form an alliance with Liu He, on the one hand, the trial believed that there should not be too many enemies at this time, and on the other hand, there was a contradiction between the trial and Feng Ji.
For a while, all the strategists quarreled, and some pointed to the opposition, and Yuan Shao's head was as big as a fight, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!" What is going on, it depends on my situation, and now Liu Sili is greeting him under the city, let's enter the city first. β
Yuan Shao led the army slowly, came to the city, and saw that Liu He was young, but he was heroic, with a humble smile on his face, just at first sight, it made people feel good, so he walked forward quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Liu Sili, brother, you have been waiting for a long time." Haha, if it weren't for my brother leading the army to help me recover Yecheng this time, I'm afraid I would have been unable to return to my original home. β
"Boy Liu He has seen Yuan Situ." It turned out that when Cao Cao returned from the expedition to Tao Qian and counterattacked LΓΌ Bu, he was worried that Yuan Shao and Liu He would interfere in this matter, so he played Yuan Shao as Situ, Liu He as a hussar general, and Liu Yu as Taifu, and appointed himself as Sikong, so now Liu He salutes Yuan Shao with such a title.
Yuan Shao saw that Liu He was polite and generous, and he was even happier in his heart, and smiled at Liu He: "Brother can see the outside world like this, not to mention the friendship between me and Ling Zun for so many years, just by virtue of the fact that my brother helped me recover Yecheng, if I hold the shelf of the three princes again, is it still a human being?" Let's go, it's windy here, let's go into the city. β
Then Yuan Shao ordered the army to enter the city, and it was only then that he saw that Liu He's army was stationed outside the city, and his heart suddenly brightened, Liu He did not have the heart to plot Yecheng at all, and he was also ashamed, the other party treated him so sincerely, and he actually spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Of course, Yuan Shao did not forget Tao Sheng's merits, but because Tao Sheng's merits were covered by Liu He's light, so according to history, Yuan Shao should worship him as a lieutenant general, but now he is only given the position of a Jianyi captain.
After that, Yuan Shao led Liu He into the city and came to Yuan Shao's Jizhou Pastoral Mansion, the two sides sat down, and after a brief chat about the general trend of the world, Yuan Shao asked straight to the point: "Shao heard that my brother was attacking the thieves' Shangdang a few days ago, why did he come to Yecheng now?" I don't know what to do? Please also advise. β
After Liu He heard this, he sighed softly, and then said, "Don't hide it from Yuan Situ......"
"Hey, how many times have you said it for my brother, you and I don't have to put these things in vain, at the beginning, Lord Ling Zun and his uncle were officials in the same dynasty, and Shao has always treated Ling Zun with the courtesy of his predecessors, so in the future, you can only call me brother, there is no need to be so Situ Chang Situ is short."
"That is the case, the little brother will be brave, honorific to call the first brother a brother, do not hide the first brother, the younger brother went to Yecheng this time, I really want to have a cooperation with the first brother, in fact, this cooperation is not only for the younger brother, but also for the first brother. The first brother should also know that now the black mountain thieves are raging, involving a lot of the first brother's strength, causing Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao County and other places to be attacked by the black mountain thieves, and now even the fundamental important Wei County of Jizhou is threatened by the thieves, and I don't know when the first brother will be able to emerge among the heroes? Originally, the original brother could still form an alliance with Cao Mengde, but now Cao Cao himself is difficult to protect, Lu Bu is a hero, stealing Dongjun, although Cao Cao led the army to counterattack, but I am afraid it will be difficult to win in a short time, and he has to take care of the fundamental Xu Du, and he does not dare to fight against Lu Bu with the army, so Cao Cao can't help his brother in a short period of time, and Ling Di Highway and his brother are not in harmony, at this time they are also plotting Xuzhou, if he gets Xuzhou, and then cooperate with Gongsun Zhan to deal with his brother's Jizhou, I'm afraid that at that time, My brother is really in danger. β
"What my brother said is not unreasonable." After listening to Liu He's words, Yuan Shao was immediately moved, thought silently for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "It's just that Yuan Shu's kid has the ability to annex Xuzhou?" β
