Cao Cao looked at Guo Jiana's dazed and absent-minded appearance after mentioning He Si'an, but he thought of the legendary Tang Empress who was like a fairy again.

It's rare that such a fairy-like character as Feng Xiao would have such a silly side! ’

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh, and was about to make a joke, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

Then he came in and sent a messenger, and after seeing Cao Cao, he took two steps, knelt down and said: "Lord Sikong, Liu Bei of Xuzhou sent a letter to Lord Sikong, please Lord Sikong personally enlightened!" ”

As a result, the messenger said goodbye and left, Cao Cao smiled and said to Xiahoudun and Guo Jia on the side: "Say Liu Bei, Liu Bei will arrive, guess what the content of the letter is?" ”

"This still needs to be guessed, it's nothing more than that Liu Bei admitted it!" Xiahoudun said with a contemptuous smile.

"What General Xiahou said is extremely true!" Guo Jia also came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao leaned back in his chair and lazily unfolded the letter, as Xiahoudun said, the letter began by saying that Liu Bei did not have an edict with clothes, and Emperor Xian did not mention anything bad about Cao Cao with Liu Bei, and Cao Cao did his best to think about the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao showed a disdainful expression, but after seeing what was written later, Cao Cao sat up straight suddenly, and began to look through it carefully, and finally took a deep breath, with a strange expression, and handed the letter to Xiahoudun, who was already eager to try!

"What? Liu Bei actually said that in order to prove his innocence, he was willing to come to Xuchang alone to confront Lord Sikong face to face? ! ”

Xiahoudun didn't have Cao Cao's city government, and after seeing what was written in the second half of the letter, he couldn't help but exclaim!

Hearing this, Guo Jia also looked at Cao Cao in shock, and found that the latter was also looking at him, and at this moment, a thought flashed in the hearts of the two at the same time: "Liu Bei has a master under his account!" ’

Cao Cao motioned for Xiahoudun to hand the letter to Guo Jia, who took it and began to read it word by word.

After a stick of incense, seeing Guo Jia put down the letter in his hand, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "What does Fengxiao think of this matter?" ”

Guo Jia breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly spoke: "Liu Bei is mainly anti-guest, this kind of means is quite similar to that Xu Yuanzhi." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said loudly: "Come on, please Xun... Forget it, please Liu Ye, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jue to come to the meeting! ”

Xun Yu's ability is very similar to Zhang Liang of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and he showed a strong ability to govern the country at a young age, but unfortunately Xun Yu is very old-fashioned, and he just wants to do his best for the Han family... Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Half an hour later - the front hall of the Sikong Mansion

"If you take advantage of Liu Bei's return to the dynasty to coerce the Xuzhou army to attack Yuan Shu, what about it?" Mao Jue was the first to speak.

"No!" The rest of the people spoke in unison.

"After all, Liu Bei's current identity is after King Jing of Zhongshan, if he does this, it will definitely arouse the disgust of Liu Biao, Liu Miao and other Han clan relatives, so it will backfire!" Liu Ye shook his head and explained.

"Indeed, Liu Bei's move seems to be dangerous, but it is extremely ingenious, if Lord Sikong rashly makes a move on Liu Bei, it will not only go against Corporal Sikong Lixian and recruit heroes from all directions, but it will also cause his forces that were originally biased towards us not to dare to defect easily." Liu Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Do we still have to offer Liu Bei?" Xiahoudun spoke indignantly.

"I'm afraid that's the case, and we even have to watch Xuzhou recruit troops and grow momentum under our noses," Cheng Yu said helplessly.

"So what do we do? has already mobilized the army of grain and grass, wouldn't this make the world see the joke of Lord Sikong? ”

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered Xiahoudun's question, but at this time, Guo Jia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Lord Sikong, do you remember what Jia said about King Hongnong when he was discussing him?"

Obviously talking about Liu Bei, but suddenly pulled on the king of Hongnong who was far away in the northwest, everyone was puzzled for a while, Cao Cao was thoughtful, and muttered to himself: "There is no trace of an antelope hanging its horns... No trace to be found..."

Suddenly, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What does Bonghyo mean..."

"Since Liu Bei is willing to take the initiative to come to my Xuchang to prove his innocence, then let him come, Lord Sikong has to publicize it with great fanfare, and he must be treated with good wine and food, Liu Bei is not the king of Hongnong, and Lord Sikong is not a stupid person like Liu Yan, so naturally he can't make much waves! And I heard that Liu Guan and Zhang have a deep brotherhood, we only need to leave Liu Bei in Xuchang, no matter how Xuzhou recruits troops, we don't dare to use troops against my Xuchang, so that we can stabilize those wavering small and medium-sized forces, as for the troops assembled now, we can..."

...

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and called Yuan Jia Shuangxiong, but the former is a real male, and the latter is a bear, a bear of a bear!

This can be seen from the contempt in the world's mouth, which makes Yuan Shu very angry and helpless, but if Yuan Shu knows the description of it in the later generations, whether it is romance or the game, he will definitely vomit three liters of blood, and he will die directly! Even if Yuan Shu's subordinates saw the rating of him in a game in the island country, they would regret following this Yuan family's sister-in-law!

But is that really the case?

Yuan Shuzi Highway, Yuan Feng's son-in-law, his subordinates are full of talents, including Ji Ling, Yu Tu, Zhang Xun, Liang Gang, Qiao Rui, Li Feng Chen Ji, etc.

The texts are: Yang Hong, Yuan Yin, Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang, etc.

The territory occupied is across the three states of Henan, Xu and Yang!

No matter from which point of view, Yuan Shu's strength can be said to be far superior to a series of princes such as Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, Liu Bei, Ma Chao, etc., and even the comprehensive strength is stronger than He Si'an, who has just obtained Yizhou.

However, with Yuan Shu becoming emperor in Shouchun half a year ago, all this has quietly changed!

Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and he was named Zhong's and placed as the minister. The northern and southern suburbs of the ancestral hall appointed Jiujiang Taishou as Huainan Yin, widely placed the ministers and courtiers, and also built the altar used by the emperor to worship the emperor in the south and north of the city. In life, Yuan Shu was even more extravagant and extravagant. There are hundreds of wives and concubines in the harem, all of whom wear Luo Qili costumes and have all kinds of exquisite jewelry.

And all this is based on the premise of expropriation and extortion!

At present, the people under Yuan Shu's rule are miserable, and local officials of all sizes have seen that their Emperor Majesty has done this, and even more for their own selfish desires, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil! The Huainan region, which was originally the richest region in the world, has been unrecognizable in half a year.

Of course, Yuan Shu, who is the emperor of the Zhong family, doesn't know all this, and maybe he doesn't want to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the latest news, Liu Bei has arrived in Xuchang, and he will confront the Xuchang Puppet Emperor and Cao Apu in three days!" Yang Hong bowed and said.

At this time, if someone saw Yuan Shu's face, they would definitely gasp.

Although Yuan Shu had a perverse personality and was domineering in the past, he had to say that he looked like a jade tree in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, but at this moment, Yuan Shu's eyes were dull, his eyes were heavy, and his face was faintly blue and black.

After hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu raised his head, laughed a few times, and said: "It's vain that Cao Ah is resourceful, but now it seems that there is no way to take a little Liu Bei, interesting!" ”

"Yang Xiang (Yang Hong), seeing that the autumn harvest is imminent, how is my harvest in Huainan this year?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with all the blessings, my Huainan people are now living and working in peace and contentment, and they praise Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, and you will be able to sweep the Central Plains and unify the world in the future, as for this year's harvest..."

Yang Hong gave a few people around him a look, and then said: "This year, I have a bumper harvest in Huainan!" A once-in-a-century harvest! ”

Then the people around him echoed for a while, like a harmonious situation of kings, saints, and sages.

…

Yuan Shu's queen name is Feng Fangnu, when the princes begged Dong fled from Luoyang to Yangzhou, happened to be seen by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was attracted by its beauty when he first saw it, and married him home, Feng Fang gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yuan Shu, the male name is Yuan Yao, and now Yuan Shu is the prince, and the female name is Yuan Ji, the eldest princess!

In the dormitory of the Empress of the Zhong family, this beautiful Empress Feng was sitting on the edge of the bed, crying secretly!

The original Yuan Shu, although he was useless in the eyes of other princes, was very good to Feng Fangnu, and he also cared for his children, and he could be called a good husband and father, but with Yuan Shu becoming emperor, he changed his normal state, and even ignored it, and did not appear in front of Feng Fangnu and his daughter again.

"Queen Mother, I'm going to find Daddy!" Yuan Ji opened his mouth angrily, and wanted to get up and go to find Yuan Shu.

"Ji'er is rude, your father is the king of a country, and there are many opportunities, don't bother him!"

"Phew, why bother to deceive yourself, since the founding of the Zhong family, my father has recruited hundreds of beautiful women into the palace in the name of draft girls, and spent all day drinking with them, and he was lascivious..."

"Your father is just busy with state affairs..."

Before Yuan Ji finished speaking, she heard her mother's muttering, and looked up to meet her mother's pleading eyes, Yuan Ji knew that her mother was cowardly by nature, but she loved her father very much, although she knew everything her father had done, she could only pretend not to know. I couldn't help but tears welled up in my eyes all of a sudden, and I hugged my mother, and the mother and daughter were speechless and choked...

…

In Shouchun Prison, Yuan Jian was lying on a straw mat, and at the moment he was in a state of weakness and breath...

At this moment, he still didn't know what was going on, in his impression, after Yuan Shu finished sealing the Zen, Yang Hong stopped him as if he said something, and then Yuan Jian lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in prison, with him there was Yan Xiang, and in the prison next door were Xu Jing and Xu Shao brothers!

At this time, a sharp pain hit his body, and Yuan Jian was in pain, and he couldn't help but snort!

Yan Xiang on the side heard the movement here, walked a few steps closely, and supported Yuan Lian.

"Yongchang, what happened? Why can't I remember anything? ”

Yan Xiang sighed and began to tell them one by one. It turned out that after sealing the Zen that day, Yuan Jian pointed at Yuan Shu and scolded for some reason! Although Yuan Shu was annoyed, he thought that Yuan Lian had followed him for many years, and it was not easy to see blood when he had just ascended the throne, so he ordered someone to be taken into prison, as for Yan Xiang, it was because he had a close relationship with Yuan Lian, and it was reported that Yuan Lian had also gone to Yan Xiang to conspire for a long time on the eve of the Zen sealing, Yuan Shu suspected that both of them had antipathy, so they were taken into custody together!

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and several people looked over, only to see a person appear in front of the prison door, Yan Xiang's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the person in front of him at a glance, and was about to exclaim, but was hurriedly stopped by the person in front of him...
