At this time, the guests entered the table one after another, and Yuan Tan pulled Yuan Xi to his seat. Looking at the opposite side, Liu Bei pulled Zhao Yun to his side.

The banquets of this era were not eaten at a large table, but each had a seat, which was divided into two rows and Yuan Shao was in the center.

Liu Bei enthusiastically introduced the people around Zhao Yun, who were probably members of his team. However, it doesn't seem to be a great character, neither Second Brother Guan nor Zhang Fei, he seems to be a short literati, his eyes are smiling, and he is very obscene.

"Second brother, I heard that something happened in Yijing, and there are some conflicts......"

Yuan Xi saw that he took the initiative to talk about it, so he said: "It's a misunderstanding, and I have already made it clear to General Zongbao." Speaking of which, when the Qingzhou soldiers came to his territory to grab food, he had some emotions in his heart. Although he was not afraid of tearing his face with this big brother, there was no need to make enemies after all, so he explained indifferently.

Yuan Tan sighed and said, "I know that the second brother is still misunderstanding, in fact, this matter is the fault of the third brother." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Xi glanced at him and saw that he was looking at himself very sincerely.

Yuan Tan told the whole thing the ins and outs, although he didn't see it in person, but from the situation reported by Kong Shun Zongbao, he also knew what was going on.

Yuan Xi said: "So, is it a troublemaker? ”

Yuan Tan said: "It should be so. Otherwise, no matter how much my people borrow grain, they will not run to the boundary of Youzhou, and the people who are most familiar with the situation in Youzhou are the Nanpi people. ”

Yuan Xi hated Yuan Shang, the guy he secretly provoked, and thought that he was about to fight, and he was still playing with these little clevers, and sooner or later he would die under Cao Cao's hands. But he pretended to be confident on his face, and said: "Originally, I guessed in this direction, but I didn't expect it to be the case." In fact, even if my eldest brother's people came to me, I would also fund some military rations, but I was not at the scene at the time and couldn't stop it, so the conflict broke out. What a misunderstanding. ”

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's all over, my own brother, it doesn't matter." Besides, food is a trivial matter, and I don't lack this grain in Qingzhou. What I want to say is what you think about this matter, second child. In fact, Xianfu's mind is already known to passers-by. ”

Yuan Xi had a headache, it seems that this eldest brother wants to win himself over through this matter. It's a pity that he is not interested in the struggle between your two brothers at all, so he pretends to be stupid and says, "What do I think? The eldest brother has said that they are all his own brothers...... What's more, I'm in a place like Youzhou, and I can't take care of myself, and I can't take care of other things, hehe. ”

Hearing him laugh dryly twice at the end, Yuan Tan hurriedly said, "Otherwise." The army is heading south, and the Youzhou where you are located is the rear and plays a pivotal role. You can think about it, don't miss the opportunity when it comes......"

He smiled after a shallow remark, turned to the other side and said hello, and said no more.

There was a mess around, and there was no more than shouting, all of which were greetings and politeness. Yuan Shao transferred many people back this time, and many people with real power in the local area were present. Yuan Shang also came back from Nanpi, at this time he was circling around like a butterfly wearing flowers, chatting with everyone very happily, he was good at this.

At this time, the sound suddenly stopped, and a vacuum appeared.

Yuan Shao flashed out from behind the screen, strode to his seat, raised the wine glass full of wine, and said to everyone: "Everyone, just wait, Uncle Liu Huang, the general of the Han Dynasty, is coming to Yecheng today, everyone, I propose to give Uncle Liu Huang a toast first." ”

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and raised their glasses towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said loudly: "Gong Yuan is polite. You are a national shareholder, and you should be honored with a cup. But again, allow me to first toast to His Majesty who is far away in Xudu. ”

Saying that, he left his seat, faced the south with a solemn face, paused the wine glass in his hand towards the air, and then drank it all, and said, "May His Majesty the Emperor be well." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at each other, suspicious. What does it mean that everything is fine, is it that the son is suffering in Xu today? The meaning of this sentence is too rich.

Sure enough, it was Liu Xuande, who ripped everyone's attention away as soon as he appeared. Even Yuan Xi couldn't help but cast his eyes at this time.

Liu Bei said angrily: "I was ordered by the king to leave the palace in a hurry." The edict of blood is vivid. It's a pity that Beizhi is talented and sparse, and since he was ordered by the edict, he was not able to turn the tide. In the front, General Dong Cheng's blood was splashed inside, and after Ma Fufeng died outside, he had to live alone, but he could not solve the difficulties of the Son of Heaven. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Uncle Huang, since there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, it is better to take it out and show it to everyone." The merits are clear at a glance. ”

Everyone clamored and said, "Yes, we all thought that Cao Cao was the pillar of the country, but we didn't expect him to be such a traitor. ”

Liu Bei took out a brocade bag from his arms, and took out a white brocade cloth from it, which was red, but he couldn't see what it was.

He lifted it up and handed it to Yuan Shao, the chairman. Yuan Shao unfolded the cloth, looked at it, and then handed it to the nearest Fu Professor, who passed it to the people around him to watch after reading it. The whole room fell silent. Everyone was shocked by the edict of the Son of Heaven.

After reading it, Yuan Tan said indignantly: "How can this be true! Then he handed it to Yuan Xi, who glanced at it twice, it was soaked in blood, and some words didn't know what they were. He didn't want to bother to see what was written, so he handed it over to the person to his right instead.

In the end, the edict returned to Liu Bei's hand, Liu Bei held the edict in his hand, thinking that the south knelt down, and suddenly howled and cried.

Yuan Xi secretly scolded in his heart: Cry when you say crying, it's really amazing.

I saw Zhao Yun looking at Liu Bei in the middle of the venue, with reverence on his face.

Yuan Xi chuckled in his heart: It's not good, hot-blooded young people are the most easily bewitched, with such a performance, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pull it back. But he couldn't directly pull Zhao Yun away.

An old man with pale hair suddenly scolded angrily: "Cao thief is rampant, the old man in the past thought that he was sincere in welcoming the Son of Heaven back to the court, but what he didn't expect was that it was Huo Guangwang's reckless move. ”

Yuan Xizheng felt that this person's face was raw, and Yuan Tan next to him said softly: "This is Shi Lao, he was born in the second year of Emperor Ling, and later the party became prosperous, and he returned to his hometown in anger, but he got a good reputation." Before, his father invited him repeatedly, but he refused to go out of the mountain. I heard that Liu Xuande was coming, so I rushed over......"

Hearing that Yuan Tan's mouth was full of ridicule, Yuan Xi looked at the old man, his hands were really trembling, and he was so angry that he couldn't even hold the wine glass steadily, it seemed that he was truly patriotic.

Liu Bei got up and said: "But fortunately, Duke Yuan lives in Hebei, so that the usurper thief does not dare to act rashly." Now in the land of Henan, from Xuzhou in the east to Yongzhou in the west, the people only know that there is Cao Gong, but they do not know that there is a son of heaven. If this happens, I am afraid that the country will not be a country. If Yuan Gong can do his best to be the master of King Qin, he is willing to lead the vanguard and throw his blood, he will not hesitate. ”

Shi Weng stood up tremblingly and shouted cheers.

Yuan Shao's face changed, and he was unhappy in his heart. This Liu Bei, without consulting himself, openly forced himself to send troops under the pretext of the edict. This matter of using troops is a major matter of the country, and it is also a place of death, how can he raise an army because of his words.

But at this time, Liu Bei roasted himself on the fire again, if he didn't express his position, his face would not look good, not to mention that he originally had the idea of going south.

A voice sounded at this time: "I don't think Cao Cao seems to be a usurper. ”
