……

In the north of Qingzhou Licheng, in the camp of Liu Bei's army.

Relying on the preparation arranged in advance, as well as Liu Ye's backup plan to deal with the unexpected, it still came in handy after all.

Under the planning and design of Fazheng. One order after another was sent out to those who should have received it.

Liu Yan also mobilized his prestige and wrote letters to invite some celebrities and Confucians.

In just a few days, a ceremonial altar stood on the edge of the Yellow River, looking at the Yellow River from afar!

And in the past few days, many people have come here from all over the world, quietly waiting for what will happen next.

And Liu Yan was ordered again and went to Yuan Shao's camp to invite Yuan Shao and others!

"Duke Yuan, for the request of Duke Yuan and the generals, my lord agreed." Liu Yan said in a calm tone.

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao didn't know what other people thought, but he knew very well what he thought in his heart.

What he thought was impossible to agree to, was actually agreed!

This means that there are gaps and differences between the two sides at this level.

If it had been placed in the past, he would definitely think that Liu Bei was a fool, and he couldn't even tell the pros and cons of it.

The reality of the situation and the comparison of the strengths of the two sides prove that Liu Bei is not a fool.

Since Liu Bei is not a fool, the decision he chooses must have its significance.

However, he couldn't see it, which also proved that there was a gap between him and Liu Bei.

"So what is Liu Xuande's request?" Yuan Shao looked at Liu Yan and asked in a calm tone.

After all, he is the weak party, and the other side of the request put forward by the generals under his command has chosen to agree.

So, what is the price they have to pay?

"Oath, an oath that binds each other!" Liu Yan said in a very serious tone.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he wanted to laugh on the spot.

A vow, an oath that binds each other? That's the price they pay?

All it takes is one oath to put an end to this?

"Just a vow? Liu Xuande believes in us like that? Yuan Shao said in an extremely calm tone.

With just one oath, who can this bind?

"Yes!" Liu Yan nodded again in confirmation.

"Liu Xuande is so naïve, so how did he survive until now?" Yuan Shao smiled disdainfully, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or Liu Bei.

Even if it is a strict oath, he is just a paragraph after all, he has no strength to restrain it, and the oath is only a sentence after all, and whether he abides by it depends on his heart.

"If Yuan Gong doesn't believe it, you can bring the civil and military forces with you." Liu Yan stretched out his hand outside the tent and said calmly.

As soon as these words fell, someone on the spot was ready to come out to stop Liu Yan's behavior.

"Stop." Yuan Shao directly scolded the person who was about to make a move, and said, "We are already in a desperate situation, if Liu Xuande is a dead hand to me, how can I live to this day?" ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao stood up directly, walked to Liu Yan's side with a steady pace, and said, "Weishuo leads the way, I want to see how to restrain a mere oath!" ”

If Liu Bei really maintained this kind of naivety, he would definitely not mind giving Liu Bei a lesson.

A person who can win over him, if he still maintains this illusion, for this non-binding thing, and still maintains his naivety, how can he continue to move forward?

The Central Plains is a place to raise Gu, he doesn't need waste, and all the defeated will become the nutrients of the victors, instead of relying on their own innocence.

Seeing this scene, the other civil and military forces around did not object, and followed behind Yuan Shao one after another, walking towards the outside of the camp.

And Yuan Shao's pace is not only calm, but also full of calmness, showing his inner confidence and attitude.

However, after arriving at the destination, Yuan Shao was directly silent.

Under normal circumstances, the oath is indeed not binding, but the scene he saw was definitely an exception.

Among the people present, there were not a few people he knew.

Former Shangshu Lu Zhi, former Sikong Xun Shuang, Wang Lie who took virtue as his line, Zheng Kanggong of Xuzhou, Cai Yong of Zhonglang General, Fa Yan and a series of great Confucians.

In addition, there are a large number of celebrities, even including Xu Shao of the Yuedan Commentary, Fanliang of the Fanjia and so on.

Looking at these people, Yuan Shao completely understood why the oath was binding!

So many people of fame and prestige come to testify? It is also a manifestation of ability.

made an oath in front of so many people, but if the oath was violated later, then there was no need to think about it, it was basically equivalent to being hopeless.

The whole person is basically discredited in the world.

There are not a few princes in the world? Why should I choose you?

Whether it is Liu Bei or him, in the face of so many people, if he breaks his oath, there is no place in the world.

Moreover, if the oath is not kept, the Witnesses themselves will be hurt by the incident.

Of course, Yuan Shao led his civil and military arrivals, which was also an opportunity for Yuan Shao.

In order to avoid Yuan Shaoqi's undeserved thoughts, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xu Zhu and others calmly watched the people under Yuan Shao's command.

Under the guarantee of so many people, Liu Bei walked calmly, slowly walked onto the high platform, drew his sword and made his oath to the Yellow River.

The oath is simple and clear, it is a promise and a guarantee.

As long as the people under Yuan Shao's command don't make trouble, Yuan Shao will have no problem, and security can be guaranteed, of course, freedom or something will definitely be restricted.

Similarly, as long as Yuan Shao does not make trouble, the people under Yuan Shao's command can enjoy the same treatment like everyone else, and will not be discriminated against and treated fairly.

Everyone present nodded when they saw this scene.

"It has the style of an ancestor, and it is worthy of being the lord of benevolence." Xun Shuang looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the past, Luoshui's oath is like today.

The former Luoshui oath was started by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and it did indeed fulfill the content of the oath.

I didn't expect to see another kind now, and there is really one more color in the world.

Yuan Shao, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, watched all this in shock.

After Liu Bei's oath ended, Yuan Shao did not hesitate and issued his own oath.

While ensuring your own behavior, you should restrain your subordinates and use your life to be responsible for the people under your command!

Liu Bei dared to gamble with his future, what was he afraid of?

As for freedom, the kind of thing he never wanted, a loser should be treated as a loser.

Cai Yan, who came with his father, looked at the surrounding situation, took out paper and pen, picked up the pen, and began to record it.
