Chapter 207: Liu Bei Arrives
"Yuan Gongzi, I have good news for you, not long ago, your brother Yuan Tan was also captured by our army, this time Yuan Gongzi should not have to worry about making Yuan Benchu think that you are not capable enough because of this matter."
There was a hint of irony in Wei Tao's words, but hearing Yuan Shang's ears really lifted Yuan Shang's spirits and made him a little energetic.
In fact, Yuan Shang had no fear of being captured, because his father was Yuan Shao, one of the strongest princes in the world, and he believed that even Wei Tao would not be able to kill him directly.
But in the same way, Yuan Shang still has one thing to be afraid of, that is, he is afraid that Yuan Tan will make a great contribution this time.
At that time, even if Yuan Shao favors Yuan Shang again, I am afraid that he will have to consider whether to make Yuan Shang the successor.
Fortunately, Yuan Tan was also captured, so now the two of them are also half a catty, this situation makes Yuan Shang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and even his face shows a hint of joy.
Seeing Yuan Shang like this, Wei Tao was naturally quite disdainful in his heart.
Really speaking, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are probably not as good as Yuan Xi, although Yuan Xi can't wait to fight to the death with Wei Tao because of Wei Tao's hatred for taking his wife.
But at least most of the time they are quite restrained, and they don't act rashly, and they don't expect others to be unlucky.
"Huh...... Yuan Gongzi, I heard that Yuan Gongzi is competing with Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan occupies the position of the eldest son and suppresses Yuan Gongzi, I don't know if I can help Yuan Gongzi, how should Yuan Gongzi repay? β
At this time, Wei Tao suddenly smiled slightly and said.
"Are you willing to get rid of Yuan Tan for me? If so, if I can say yes, I will say yes! β
Yuan Shang also made a deal with Wei Tao, and now he hears it. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said.
"Huh...... Yuan Gongzi knew that this matter was impossible. Now I don't want to go to war with Yuan Benchu yet. Tell the truth. I have sent a letter to Benchu Gong and asked him to exchange it for the Taishou of Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian and Bohai counties. Now that Yuan Benchu is fighting against Cao Cao, he will agree if he can't divide more troops. β
Wei Tao shook his head, this Yuan is not exempt and naΓ―ve, even if he is not afraid of war with Yuan Shao, he did not risk offending Yuan Shao to die for Yuan Shang.
However, Yuan Gongzi also knows that now that the dragons in Jizhou have no leader, whether it is Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan, who can return to Yuan Jun first. can immediately grasp the strength of Yuan Jun. In order to protect my sincerity, I can first put a son back to the army, I wonder if Yuan Shanggongzi has any ideas? β
Although he was a little disappointed, hearing Wei Tao say this, Yuan Shang's eyes still lit up slightly.
In order to fight with Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan left many of his subordinates in Jizhou, if he can use this to annex Yuan Tan's strength, then it is indeed a great benefit for Yuan Shang.
"I don't know what General Lu Daowei wants? If I can do it, I will do it! β
So at this time, Yuan Shang was also quite concerned. got up directly, bowed his hand to Wei Tao and asked.
"This matter is not difficult for Yuan Gongzi. And I won't get the word out about it. β
Wei Tao smiled slightly, he had said so much before, Wei Tao's ultimate goal was still for this one.
"My Wei Tao's lifelong ambition is to expel foreign races, to protect the people of Dahan and Li from foreign invasions, and that Wuhuan is now invading my Han Youzhou. Someone is secretly funding, if Yuan Gongzi can tell those who specifically carry out this thing one by one, and let me punish them, then what if I help Yuan Gongzi? β
It is naturally impossible for Yuan Shang to do it in person to fund such a foreign race, but Yuan Shang can still understand who is doing it.
It's just that after Yuan Shang was silent for a while, he only said the specific ship personnel in charge of this matter, but he didn't say anything about which strategist under Yuan Shao's command did it.
Wei Tao didn't care much about this, his purpose was not like this.
Even though this can continue to ruin Yuan Shao's reputation, it is nothing to Yuan Shao, who now has strong strength, so Wei Tao has never said anything.
It's just that this time Wei Tao wanted to get the specific implementation personnel for another big thing, so he made such a deal with Yuan Shang.
Of course, Fei Chang Liyu is an extremely important matter no matter what era he is in, and allowing Yuan Shang to have more strength also exacerbates the hidden dangers in Yuan's army.
Soon Yuan Jun received the news.
But there are also things that surprised Wei Tao.
Originally, Wei Tao thought that the people who came would be Guo Tu and Xin Ping, even Feng Ji and Tian Feng would not be so surprised, but the person who came was Liu Bei.
It was not long before he took refuge in Yuan Shao, and he was even more prepared to say that Liu Bei had just been under Yuan Tan's hands.
Surprise is surprise, since Liu Bei arrived as Yuan Shao's envoy, Wei Tao naturally led people out to greet him.
I have to say that Liu Bei at this time looks as always, but just with Guan Zhang and the others, he dared to come to the camp alone and the state, which also shows Liu Bei's extraordinary.
"I've seen Brother Xuande, after a long time, I can't imagine that I can see it again now."
Wei Tao is much younger than Liu Bei, but now Wei Tao's identity is much higher than Liu Bei, even if he opens his mouth like this, Liu Bei cannot be dissatisfied.
Only about the two of them, but the anger on their faces flashed, Liu Bei didn't care, it didn't mean that they didn't care.
"General Wei is powerful all over the world, where is the preparation? Now that Bei has come before, his purpose is presumably known to the generals, I wonder if General Lu Dao can order the release of the two Yuan Gongzi? β
Although Liu Bei was smiling, he was straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and said with a slight smile, which made Wei Tao slightly stunned for a while.
But then Wei Tao recovered, and it was indeed Liu Bei.
"Xuande's words are different, the two Yuan Gongzi are now assassinating guests, where is there any reason to let go or not?"
Wei Tao smiled slightly, and casually revealed this matter, before he got the real benefit, how could Wei Tao easily let people go.
"I don't know that Lu Dao Xuande came this time, but he wants to announce the appointment of Changshan and other Taishou for the envoy?"
Since Liu Bei was so straightforward that Wei Tao was not easy to answer, Wei Tao was naturally an anti-general, and he directly asked.
Seeing Wei Tao like this, Liu Bei just smiled and nodded slightly, but there was no discomfort, and then announced the appointments one by one, all of which appointed Wei Tao's generals to guard the counties.
However, the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian are still easy to say, after all, these three counties are now in the hands of Wei Tao, but Bohai County is not.
In fact, even if Yuan Shang was defeated, Bohai County did not go down in a day, and if he wanted to conquer Bohai County, Wei Tao would probably have to spend a lot of money.
This is also the reason why Wei Tao hopes to directly exchange Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan for Bohai County.
"The sincerity of the first prince has been seen, I wonder when the sincerity of General Lu Dao will be seen?"
Hearing Liu Bei say this, Wei Tao groaned slightly and then invited Yuan Shang out.
These days may be because he heard the news that Yuan Tan was also captured by Wei Tao, so Yuan Shang's mood has always been quite good, and Wei Tao's treatment to him is not bad.
So Yuan Shang's state at this time is not bad.
Even Yuan Shang thought of the promise made by Wei Tao, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
"As for Yuan Xiansi, there are still some things to discuss with him, and when the time comes, he will naturally return."
Wei Tao smiled slightly, this time was naturally the time when Bohai County was all included in Wei Tao's palm.
But hearing this, Liu Bei's complexion changed slightly.
Although Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao's command, he was under Yuan Tan's command before, and this time he would come, and he would only come after recommending Guo Tu and other people who supported Yuan Tan.
The reason why Yuan Shao handed over the important task to Liu Bei was also because Liu Bei had recently taken refuge and could not be regarded as a person from either side.
But if this is the case now, then Liu Bei will not be treated well by Guo Tu and other Yuan Tan faction, and at the same time, it will arouse Yuan Shao's suspicion, and Liu Bei's life may not be easy.
But can Liu Bei refuse at this time?
It is impossible to directly say that Yuan Tan should return first, wouldn't that offend Yuan Shang to death?
Liu Bei hesitated like this, and naturally he was discovered by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were most familiar with him, that Zhang Fei was reckless, but he couldn't understand it for a while, but Guan Yu knew that Liu Bei had scruples in his heart.
After thinking for a moment in his heart, Guan Yu suddenly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Wei Tao.
"I have heard the general's name for a long time, when I saw it in the past, I saw that the general's martial arts are extraordinary, I heard that now the general's martial arts are at the top, a certain cloud chief dares to ask the general for advice, if the general wins, we will naturally be convinced, if the general is not victorious, the general can also put his mind on cultivating martial arts."
Wei Tao squinted slightly, Guan Yu's words were very easy to understand, but they also had a great attraction to Wei Tao.
Guan Yu is now one of the most fierce generals in the world, even if it is Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, he does not dare to say that he is victorious, for such a top general, Wei Tao also has a little bit of a mind to compete with him.
"Cloud Chief! Don't be rude! β
At this time, Liu Bei shouted, and then bowed to Wei Tao.
"General Qiyu, Yun Chang is a martial artist, and he wants to fight with real brave generals the most, and there are a lot of generals, so he must not care about it."
"Hehe......"
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel funny, although Liu Bei's words seemed to dissuade, but in fact, he was provoking Wei Tao.
But I have to say that with this agitation, Wei Tao is also a little competitive.
"What about Guan Yu? Can't you take it yourself? β
After the thought in his heart turned slightly, Wei Tao's expression suddenly stopped, and Guan Yu, who looked at the red face, immediately nodded and said.
"I have heard of Guan Yunchang's bravery, and I can see it today." (To be continued......)
