After Liu Guanzhang and the others entered the palace, they were soon taken to the main hall.

Yuan Shao and the others were waiting for the arrival of the three of them in the hall.

In addition to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and several other strategists, there were also two more burly and armored generals, standing around Yuan Shao.

It is Yan Liang and Wen Chou!

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the hall fell on the three people, some were vigilant, some were murderous, and some were afraid, all of which were different.

In the face of all kinds of gazes, Liu Bei's expression was always flat.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had no fear at all, and they didn't even look at these people with their eyes, showing contempt.

Liu Bei walked to the center of the hall and stood still, and arched his hand: "I've seen the general." ”

At this time, the Son of Heaven was not there, so Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, playing with the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Liu Bei condescendingly.

"Isn't Xuande too strong to drink, so he went back to rest, why did he turn back?"

"Isn't there something missing in the palace?"

Yuan Shao sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

What he said was naturally the "Edict of the Son of Heaven".

Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "That's not the case, Bei just thought that he had been in Yecheng for a long time, but the matter of borrowing troops had never been settled, so he felt uneasy." ”

"That's why I came to ask the general and wanted an accurate answer."

He didn't seem to understand the subtext of Yuan Shao's words, and only talked about borrowing soldiers.

Because he knew in his heart that although Yuan Shao now knew that he had privately asked the Son of Heaven for an edict, and they also knew that Yuan Shao knew about it, Yuan Shao did not know that the Son of Heaven had secretly ventilated to him.

In other words, in Yuan Shao's eyes, they didn't know that they were exposed.

So as long as this matter is not completely explained, there is still a fig leaf, and this is also the last room for pulling.

Liu Bei chose to negotiate with Yuan Shao about borrowing troops.

"Borrowed soldiers?"

Yuan Shao immediately laughed when he heard this, he didn't expect that Liu Bei would dare to mention the matter of borrowing troops with him now.

I really thought he was stupid.

However, Yuan Shao didn't break it immediately, but said lightly: "Now there is Gongsun Zan in the north, Cao Cao in the west, and Yuan Shu in the south, although I have the heart to borrow your soldiers and horses, but the troops in my hands are really insufficient, so I can't borrow your soldiers and horses to conquer Lu Bu and recapture Pei County." ”

"Besides—"

Yuan Shao paused for a moment and looked at Liu Bei, "You had tens of thousands of troops at that time, and you were defending Pei County, but you were still captured by Lu Bu. ”

"How can I believe that by lending you soldiers and horses, you can defeat Lu Bu and take Peixian back? When the time comes, the defeat will not be successful, and my soldiers and horses will be broken in vain. ”

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shao refused to borrow troops.

Although Lu Bu is a villain, his bravery is indeed the first in the world, so even if he lends troops to Liu Bei, whether Liu Bei can recapture Peixian has to be said separately.

It's not a good deal.

Liu Bei said with a straight face when he heard this: "General, although Lu Bu is brave, but he is brave and unscrupulous, if the general is willing to borrow troops, I will be ten percent sure to take back Peixian!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, Feng Ji sneered, "Ten percent sure that Pei County will be defeated, is it child's play for you to fight?" It's just a lie! ”

"Lord, don't listen to his nonsense, I think it's better to hurry up and ......"

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei: "Shut up! When will it be my turn to interject when my big brother speaks! Believe it or not, I tore your mouth apart! ”

Zhang Fei shouted angrily, his eyes widened angrily, his beard and hair were all open, and his expression seemed as if he was going to eat Feng Ji alive and peel half of it alive.

With just one glance, Feng Ji's face turned pale with fright, and he retreated again and again, hiding behind the pillars of the main hall and shivering.

"Presumptuous! Dare to be rude in front of the lord! ”

The two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were also angry when they saw this, and with a wave of their hands, dozens of armor soldiers standing on both sides of the hall immediately drew their swords and stepped forward, surrounding Liu Bei and the three of them.

As long as an order is given, these armor soldiers will rush forward and hack Liu Guanzhang and the others to death under the chaotic knife!

Not to mention that there are hundreds of armor soldiers hidden in the side hall!

"Who dares to step forward!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each took a step forward and protected Liu Bei behind them, even if they were unarmed and less versus, they were not afraid!

At this moment, there was tension in the hall.

The atmosphere is dignified!

But Liu Bei didn't look at the blades in front of him at all, just looked at Yuan Shao, and said in a deep voice: "Give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and within fifteen days, I will capture Peixian!" ”

"At that time, the general can send troops to Pei County to station!"

This sentence made Yuan Shao pause the action of playing with the wine glass, the expression on his face became solemn, and he squinted at Liu Bei.

"There is no joke in the army."

Liu Bei met Yuan Shao's gaze, did not back down, and said categorically: "Ten days!" Capture Pei County in ten days! ”

"Boom ——!"

A blast of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and a flash of thunder light illuminated everything in the hall, and the figures of the soldiers hiding in the side hall were reflected on the wall by the thunder, and the swords were clear.

Immediately afterward, the rain fell, and everything was silent.

There is only the sound of rain falling from heaven to earth.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei with a shocked face, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but speak, taking Pei County on the 10th, this is simply a fantasy!

And after taking Peixian, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were stationed.

This is equivalent to giving Pei County to Yuan Shao!

"Good!"

Without waiting for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to say anything, Yuan Shao put the wine glass on the table, then stood up and stared at Liu Bei.

"I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, attack Pei County in the next year, I will send a large army to press you down, and give me Pei County within ten days!"

"But if you can't take ———"

"It will be dealt with by military law, and you will be willing to die!"

Liu Bei was not afraid and did not leave himself a way out.

At this moment, he has no way out.

"My lord, no!"

Tian Feng couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to open his mouth to dissuade Yuan Shao.

Where could he not see that Liu Bei was deliberately delaying?

If you don't kill Liu Bei today, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future!

The judge sighed and did not speak.

He knew that his lord's mind had been decided.

Because the conditions given by Liu Bei are really tempting.

Although Pei County is not big, but the geographical location is quite superior, take this place, it can be used as an important town, is the best springboard for the future attack on Xuzhou.

The key is that Liu Bei only needs 5,000 soldiers and horses, and promises to take Pei County within ten days, and if he doesn't succeed, he will die.

If it were him, he would be willing to gamble on it.

After all, once you succeed, you can get Pei County!

"Needless to say."

Yuan Shao stopped Tian Feng's exhortation, waved his hand to order the soldiers to retreat, and then said to Liu Bei: "It's not too early, Xuande should go back and rest early." ”

Liu Bei didn't say much, arched his hand, and turned around with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and walked into the Xiaoxiao rain curtain.

The pace is so determined.
