Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi were like wolves and tigers, and they used all their strength to conduct a competition, and in the end they both fell to the ground, tired and out of breath, and this battle of kings ended without a problem.

Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi were lying on the ground, panting, and the two looked at the sky together, watching the white clouds and dogs passing leisurely in the clear blue sky.

After watching it quietly for a long time, Cao Zhi suddenly let out a long sigh.

"In the battle of Cangting back then, you and my father were also like you and me today, going head-to-head to win, and in the end they all ended up in a dead end, and to this day, there is a ...... between you and me."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhi choked up for a while, as if he couldn't go on.

A bright smile appeared on Yuan Shang's face.

"You and my father are friends, but they are too persistent, persistent and incompatible with each other, so that they have to fight to the death, but today, although you and I are also enemies, we have survived at the same time...... And in the future, it will no longer be enemies, you and I will always be friends, won't we? We are not like them. ”

A smile hung on the corner of Cao Zhi's mouth, and he said: "From now on, the affairs of the world have nothing to do with me, and the matter of killing has nothing to do with me, I just chant poetry every day, drink and chat, and the snow and the moon and the wind and flowers...... Maybe when you are tired from a battle, you can come to me and drink a pot of hot wine, but it is not bad? ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel a faint jealousy of Cao Zhi in his heart.

"It's good for you to shake your shoulders and ignore the world's affairs, and from now on you will only be a rich man every day. But I was the only one who continued to toil...... Sure enough, I was born to work hard. ”

Cao Zhi laughed and said: "Losing has the benefits of losing, winning has the bitterness of winning, and the affairs of the world are originally fair." ”

Speaking of this, I saw Cao Zhi straighten up, look at Yuan Shang fixedly, and said with a smile: "When will I leave?" ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What is the journey?" ”

"Go to Yecheng! You're not going to let me stay in Xuchang forever, are you? Not only do you have a heart, but I also have to avoid suspicion. ”

Yuan Shang shook his head helplessly: "Your role has changed quite quickly. The environment of Yecheng is good. Life is rich, and you will have a comfortable life when the time comes, but until then, you have to stay in Xuchang to do me a favor. ”

Cao Zhi scolded with a smile when he heard this: "You shameless." Took my territory. Took my title. Do you want me to help you? It's shameless! ”

Yuan Shang smiled indifferently: "My skin has always been very thick, I'm embarrassed." ”

"What's the matter, let's talk about it."

"One is to help me convince Xun Yu."

"I guessed that. What about two? ”

Yuan Shang's eyes narrowed and said, "Xu You!" Since I entered Xuchang, I have been looking for the whereabouts of this person everywhere, why haven't I found it? ”

Cao Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's very simple, I have been fighting with you on the front line at that time, and all the soldiers of the Chinese army are the same, no one will pay attention to him at all, Xu You is a very smart person, so it is common sense that he has already absconded in a premeditated way." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shang took a deep breath: "Then where might he be now?" ”

Cao Zhi shook his shoulders and said, "You don't know, where can I guess?" But the biggest possibility may be to go with Cao Pi. ”

"Cao Pi is it?" Yuan Shang raised his head and smiled slightly.

To tell the truth, when Cao Pi led the crowd to escape, it was not that he couldn't send people to surround and intercept, but he didn't want to do that, Cao Pi's departure represented the split of the Cao family, and represented that another Cao clan led by him who opposed Cao Zhi appeared in this world, and it was precisely because of such a rebel faction that Yuan Shang was able to more easily subdue the heart of the Cao army who followed Cao Zhi.

If it is combined, it will be determined, and if it is divided, it will be chaotic.

After the two talked for a while, Yuan Shang immediately went to send Cao Zhi back to the post house to rest, and he himself saw the frustration that had been waiting for him beside him.

"Mr. Fu is waiting here very hard, Yuan is really embarrassed." Yuan Shang picked up the towel handed over by the guard, wiped his bleeding nostrils, and smiled apologetically at the frustrated.

Frustration is also self-contained, and when he heard the words, he was just happy, and said: "It's okay, I can see a shocking bloody battle between the lord and Mrs. Cao, and I can be regarded as dead without regrets in this life." ”

Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but blush, and glared at the old man fiercely.

Listen to what this old man said about this bastard, he was just a little nosebleed by Cao Zhi, and he also had a shocking bloody battle...... It's clear that the poor people are here!

Fu Zhu obviously saw that Yuan Shang was a little unhappy with his evaluation, smiled slightly, opened his mouth to change the topic and talked about the purpose of his visit.

"General Qiyu, I am in a hurry to see you, because in the southern part of the border, there are envoys with heavy gifts to meet you, I don't know what the Lord wills, see or not?"

"The Lands of the Borderlands?" Yuan Shang didn't react for a while when he heard this, and said curiously: "Who?" ”

Fu Zhi touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The land of Nanzhong, the messenger sent by Liu Zhang. ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Liu Zhang?!" ”

When it was, Liu Bei rushed to attack Xishu, trying to dominate Sichuan, the former lord of Xichuan Liu Zhang lost his land and fell into the city, and finally under the protection of the general Zhang Ren and other loyal ministers, he gave up Chengdu and went straight to the land of Nanzhong.

In other words, it is the barren land of the Southern Barbarians.

At this time, Liu Zhang suddenly came to see him, and Yuan Shang thought with his toes that he knew what he was doing.

Just imagine, a prince who was originally the dominant Xichuan, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and prosperous talents, was suddenly rebelled by his brothers of the same clan and seized the foundation, and was beaten to the side of the street, what a gap, what a frustration.

The clay man also has three points of earthiness, although Liu Zhang is a soft persimmon, but the soft persimmon also has pantothenic acid, to say that he doesn't want to say this tone, it is impossible, the key to the problem is that Liu Bei is now across Xichuan, Jingzhou, his soldiers are strong and strong, unstoppable, and its power is expanding rapidly, as if it has been ranked above the Eastern Wu for three generations.

And Liu Zhang is now the master of the downfall. Not to mention competing with Liu Bei, it is estimated that running to the land of Nanban is also based on people's faces, and whether you can live until next year is a question of whether you can live until next year.

In this case, Liu Zhang wants to find Liu Bei to get back on the field, it is obvious that he needs to take advantage of the situation, and looking at the world, the only person who can restrain Liu Bei is obviously Yuan Shang alone.

******************

Within the temporary line, Yuan Shang met with the envoy sent by Liu Zhang.

At first glance, I saw Liu Zhang's messenger. Yuan Shang couldn't help but be a little stunned.

It stands to reason. Although Liu Zhang was down, he was also a prince, and the royal family of the Han family was orthodox, and the envoys he sent were not to say that they relied on thousands of people and were majestic. At the very least, it has to be well-groomed. No rudeness.

But. The current messenger looks completely different.

The messenger's face was yellow and thin, and his face was withered and dirty. The aisle trembled slightly, it looked like a lack of food and drink, a precursor to malnutrition, and he was still holding a big stick crutch to support his body, if he didn't have the support of this crutch, he was afraid that he might fall down at any time.

A body of coarse linen is just that, but there are holes and holes on the top, the pants are still half-cut five-point pants, the left and right feet are long and short, obviously they have been torn and "improved", the straw shoes under the feet are exposed to a big hole, the dark big toes are exposed, shake and shake, the toenails are long and black, and the inside is full of mud at a glance, obviously it has not been modified for a long time............

Looking at this messenger called Huazi, Yuan Shang had a short circuit in his brain for a while, and he couldn't speak very well.

Seeing that Yuan Shang was stunned, he couldn't help coughing lightly, raised his hand and secretly pestled Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice: "Lord, people have already saluted you, what are you doing stunned?" It's too rude. ”

Yuan Shang came back to his senses when he heard this, then slapped his head, looked down at the messenger's big toe that was shaking outside the straw sandals, and said.

"What a sexy/sensual big toe."

When the envoy heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red.

"Who is this one who wants to eat?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and his face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, and he replied in a somewhat unpleasant whisper.

"I'm not asking for food."

Yuan Shang nodded suddenly when he heard this: "You can see it...... Come on, give me some food. ”

"Uh-huh!" He coughed vigorously in frustration, then glared at Yuan Shang dissatisfiedly, stopping what he was talking about.

The messenger arched his hand at Yuan Shang and said: "Under is Liu Xun, the son of Liu Zhang, this time, on the order of my father, with a lot of gifts, I have come to hand over a letter to the general to repair the alliance, and the alliance will be formed forever, and I hope that the general will accept it." ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he looked Liu Xun up and down a few times, and said, "You are Liu Zhang's son?" ”

Liu Xun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yuan Shang raised his head, smiled, and said lightly: "Liu Zhang and I have never had any contacts, and today I suddenly asked my own son to come to me as an envoy, and I want to form an alliance, isn't it a little too fast?" ”

Liu Xun nodded and said: "Although the general and my father had no friendship in the past, but now they have the same great trouble, that is, Liu Bei, now the Cao family has been subdued by the general, looking at the world, the only person who can be called the general's opponent is Liu Bei!" And Liu Bei and his father have a hatred for seizing land, and it is inevitable for you and me to unite, doesn't the general think so? ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled: "I really don't think so." ”

Liu Xun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yuan Shang in surprise, not knowing what he meant.

Yuan Shang clapped his hands and said: "The so-called alliance is to be able to support each other, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and learn from the strengths of many parties to make up for their own needs, so that the alliance can be reached on the basis of a certain proportional strength......

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang paused and said: "But look at you, as a messenger, you come to me like a person asking for food, you are still like Liu Zhang's son, and you others can be imagined...... Liu Gongzi, to tell you the truth, in your body, I have found nothing but a sexy/sensual big toe that I don't have, and I have never found any other shining points. ”
