The world is changing, the war is about to ignite, and I don't know how many people in Ludao will be displaced, I don't know how many people in Ludao will not return, and the bones will be buried in the battlefield.

And at the same time, the princes from all walks of life also had envoys from afar come secretly, and the gold and silver were rolling, and they saw the so-called sincerity.

Yangzhou, the residence of the king of Chu.

Yuan Shu looked at the envoy in front of him with great interest, and glanced at several huge wooden boxes next to him, secretly happy in his heart, because of the confrontation with Jingzhou and the competition with Xuzhou, the expansion of the Yangzhou army was imminent, but Yangzhou could not take out the extra money to carry out this matter at this time, and the arrival of the envoy opened a window for him.

Of course, he also knew the meaning of the envoy of the Dao, or the meaning of the master behind him, at this time, he really had no interest in Youzhou, and he really couldn't afford to waste himself for some unwarranted reasons, it was not worth it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, my king has always admired the demeanor of the King of Chu, often mentioning the sassy demeanor of the King of Chu when he was in Luoyang, often sighing regrets, never had a deep friendship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, a big regret in life, this time I came, is to come to Yangzhou on the order of my king, my king has been handed over to the King of Chu for a long time, I hope to be in alliance with Yangzhou, assist each other, echo the north and south, in case the princes are unpredictable, please show His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

On the palace of the king of Chu, the envoy talked eloquently, he was a student of Xijing Academy, and later because of the rebellion of the Qin family, Xijing Academy and Xiaoyao Academy were unexpected, not long ago Qin Feng called Wang Youzhou, many of the original students of the two academies went to Youzhou, most of them are children of the Han family, and there are many students of the scholar family.

He is the leader of the cold door Ding Yan, the word Shitong, this self-recommended envoy to Yangzhou, Qin Feng personally met him, although this person belongs to the cold family, but the person is beautiful, eloquent, knows etiquette, is a rare talent.

And Yuan Shu himself has a chivalrous spirit between his eyebrows, and he is also a beautiful man, and he has some care about the appearance of his subordinates, and people who look vicious will not be friendly, so he has a good impression of this messenger, and he was about to speak, but when he saw his main adviser Yang Hong blinking vigorously, Yuan Shu knew in his heart and stopped what he said.

But I saw Yang Hong flick his sleeves and said: "The envoy came to my Yangzhou, I Yangzhou treated me with courtesy, my king also admired the king of Qin, this time the king of Qin wanted my king to accept it, but this alliance matter, there are indeed some difficulties, please also respect the envoy Haihan!" Between the words, he kept glancing at the wooden box.

Ding Yan raised his eyebrows, naturally he also saw Yang Hong, and sneered in his heart, he was very angry at the greed of these people in Yangzhou, but he was on a mission, and he was also clever, hiding everything well, and said with a smile: "Oh? I don't know the rich land of Yangzhou, the king of Chu has the talent of the world, and he also occupies half of Xuzhou, Xu Qian does not dare to say much, the west is connected to Jingzhou, Liu Biao does not dare to commit the border, I don't know that the king of Chu has and difficulties, and I am willing to hear the details. ”

Yang Hong's expression changed, he knew that Yuan Shu didn't want to send troops, and he wouldn't send troops, so of course he meant to take more benefits, but this Youzhou came to make it obviously not on the road, which made the old guy secretly annoyed, and now he was being a general, but he was helpless in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and wave his hand: "Don't worry, my king will definitely resolve it, don't say anything!" ”

Ding Yan sneered in his heart, the old guy really thought he was afraid of you, and saluted Yuan Shu and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, when he came to Yangzhou, my king once said that he would be friendly with such a heroic man as the King of Chu, if the King of Chu sent Youzhou to help, now what difficulties the King of Chu has, it is better to tell Zaixia and see if Youzhou can help anything." ”

Yuan Shu was stunned, this was not what he wanted to say, because of the things in the box, he originally wanted to tell the envoy of Youzhou that he would not send troops this time, so that he could earn a favor, but Yang Hong thought about it, what did he say.

"Ahem, it's really hard to say about this matter, and the Lone King is also very worried, so let Yang Changshi talk to you!" Yuan Shu's eyes widened as he watched Yang Hong kick the ball over.

Yang Hong smiled bitterly in his heart, isn't this what your old man agreed, how can I tell me, but as a courtier, Yang Hong still took Yuan Shu's words, and said to Ding Yan: "Honorable envoy, in fact, this is the case, my king has always been a close friend of the King of Qin, but unfortunately I can't get together to push the lamp, but the matter of the alliance with Youzhou is too big, the princes of the Central Plains covet Youzhou, and secretly connect, although my king has the support of Yangzhou, but in the face of the princes of the world, he is not able to catch it!" ”

"Hahaha, that's a bad statement!" Ding Yan smiled, making everyone wonder.

Yang Hong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the envoy mean?" ”

Ding Yan saluted Yuan Shu again, and arched his hand: "You all know the Dao, and my lord has long known about the alliance of princes, but he scoffed at it!" Seeing that the people around him frowned, Ding Yan knew that there was a thorn in his words.

After a pause in his heart, he continued: "Everyone! Think about it, all the princes are heroes and heroes, fierce tigers and dragons, but the alliance of princes is to bundle a group of fierce tigers together, so come, isn't it like the princes would hunt yellow scarves back then? It is just a matter of no success, and when the time comes, who will command the army of the princes, and who can command it, this is an incomprehensible matter, so my lord does not think so. ”

"Oh, just like that, King Qin can be fearless? Not really! Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, and he said happily.

Ding Yan turned around and bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu sees that although my king is not afraid of the alliance of the princes, he does not want the world to be in war and the people to suffer, and my lord is not afraid of the princes, but for such a powerful hero as the King of Chu, my lord does not want to be an enemy of him, after all, if my lord and the king of Chu fight endlessly, it will only cheapen others." ”

Ding Yan sneered in his heart, and the sharp glint in his eyes flashed.

Yang Honggang wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yuan Shu raising his hand, he stood up and walked in front of Ding Yan, and said, "Mr. said that he cheapened others, but I don't know who it is?" His eyes were fixed on Ding Yan.

But in the face of Yuan Shu with Wang Wei, Ding Yan did not change much, when he first met Qin Feng, that kind of vast imperial road righteousness, the edge of the royal road is more depressing than Yuan Shu, he can resist one or two in that situation, at this time he will not change much in the face of Yuan Shu, but said politely: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Youzhou and Yangzhou are thousands of miles away, separated by several states, thousands of mountains and rivers, if the King of Chu sends troops to attack Youzhou, what are the benefits at that time?" ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth curled, seeing that Ding Yan was not taken by himself, and he was very interested in Ding Yan in his heart, but when he heard his words, he sneered: "Sir's words are wrong, how can I not get what I want, as long as I defeat Youzhou, the land of Youzhou is not as much as I want?" ”

How do you know that Ding Yan shook his head and said to Yuan Shu: "The king of Chu is wrong, if the princes want to attack my Youzhou, they can only pass through the state, and only from the state can they have the opportunity to attack my Youzhou, Jizhou is impossible, because of the territory of Zhang Liang of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou City, he will not be so good at talking to the princes' coalition army." ”

Everyone nodded, Yuan Shu is the same, it is precisely because of this in mind that it will not participate in it, it will only wave the flag and shout in the back, Ding Yan looked at everyone agreeing with him, and continued: "So only through the road of attacking Youzhou through Bingzhou, don't forget that the opponent of the princes' alliance is not only my Youzhou, Youzhou is new, it is not enough to confront the princes, but there are people in the world who can!" ”

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, but he thought of it in an instant, and said to Ding Yan: "Mr. mean the yellow scarf?" ”

Ding Yan nodded, but Yang Hong and the others scoffed, and even a fierce general said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous, the Yellow Turban Army is just a local chicken, how can it fight against the elite of the princes?" When my Yangzhou soldiers captured Xuzhou, those guys wanted to fight the autumn wind, wasn't it because my Yangzhou sons fought and fled in a hurry, just because they could resist the army of the princes? ”

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect someone to say this, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for whether there were such short-sighted people in Yuan Shu's camp, but he didn't get the slightest annoyance, but instead looked at Yuan Shu, only to see Yuan Shu also shaking his head at this time.

Looking around, Ding Yan smiled and said, "You all think so? ”

However, no one answered directly, and Ding Yan was unimpressed, and then said: "Don't forget, the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou is just a miscellaneous army in a corner of peace, of course, it is not worth mentioning, especially after Zhang Mancheng's death, Yuzhou is even more chaotic, and the princes are waiting for them to be ruined by each other, and then to clean up the mess, and it is understandable to despise them, but don't forget what I just said about Jizhou, and even, Qingzhou!" ”

Ding Yan's words made everyone's ears roar, they actually forgot Brother Zhang Liang, the yellow scarves at this time are not those rabble in history, scattered and baseless, they have the land of Erzhou!

Yuan Shu liked Ding Yan more and more in his heart, and wanted to take him into his account, so he said: "Despite this, the Lone King thinks that the Yellow Turban Army does not have such courage!" Zhang Liang has only lived in Jizhou for so many years, if it weren't for the wealth of Jizhou, Zhang Liang would have been homeless long ago, as for Zhang Bao, this person is barren and debauched, since he arrived in Qingzhou, he has indulged in pleasure and does not think about politics, if it weren't for the talented Wang Fan under his hand, I am afraid that his bones would have been gone! ”

Yuan Shu's disapproval of the Yellow Turban Army made Ding Yan's heart tighten, he knew that Yuan Shu was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect to be so clear about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, he exhaled deeply, and said: "The words of the King of Chu are very true, but who can predict the things in the world accurately, the sky is going to rain in a flash, doesn't the King of Chu know?" ”

Yuan Shuda couldn't stop laughing: "Mr. joked, this is natural, but so what?" The lone king is still afraid that they won't succeed! At this time, Yuan Shu was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, sharp and arrogant.

Ding Yan was stunned in his heart, he really deserved to be a prince, it seems that this is a good point.

"What the King of Chu said is very true, but what will the King of Chu do if he captures Youzhou? I think it's just to increase the arm strength of the rest of the princes, especially Ding Yuan, who has coveted me for many years, and I'm afraid that only Ding Yuan can get the most benefits when the time comes! If the king of Chu does not increase, doesn't it increase the strength of the two sides? Ding Yan remained unchanged and said with a smile.

Yuan Shu's face changed, of course he knew the way, so he would definitely not send troops to want the princes to fight Youzhou and weaken his strength, and then he would be able to dominate the family, but he didn't expect Ding Yan to say it at this time.

There was silence in the hall, Yuan Shu exhaled and said to Ding Yan: "Mr. is talented, I don't know if I can stay in Yangzhou to help the lonely king, the lonely king will regard Mr. as an arm, what does Mr. want, the lonely king must find it for Mr., and for the sake of Mr., the lonely king will definitely agree to Mr. ”
