"Bold!"

Liu Bei's words fell, and Hu Che'er, who was standing beside him, widened his eyes, and directly pulled out the long knife at his waist, his face full of fierceness.

"I see that your net worth and life should stay here!"

Liu Bei didn't seem to see Hu Che'er's long knife, and scolded with a sharp look in his eyes: "Presumptuous! If I talk to your general, how can you interject?! ”

"You're looking for death!" Hu Che'er was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to cut it.

"Stop!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Although Hu Che'er was extremely angry in his heart, Zhang Xiu told him that he could only do it. He put away his long knife and stepped aside.

Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Bei coldly and said, "Isn't Xuande afraid that General Ben will kill you?" ”

Liu Bei's face did not change, there was no fear in his eyes, and he said lightly: "I said it below, this time I came for the future and life of the general, if the general doesn't care, then it doesn't hurt to kill." ”

Negotiation is about momentum.

Liu Bei's attitude of being down-to-earth about life and death, others can't figure out his details at all.

Zhang Xiu clapped his hands in fear, and soon two soldiers each carried a prisoner who was tied up with five flowers into the house.

"Does Xuande know who they are?" Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Bei with a playful look in his eyes, and pointed to the two trembling captives, "One of them is Cao Cao's envoy, and the other is Sun Ce's envoy." Like Xuande, they all came to negotiate. ”

"If Xuande doesn't speak well, then he will be like them and become a prisoner."

"Woo woo woo ——!"

Both messengers had their mouths gagged and were tied up with flowers, so they could only fall to the ground and whimper.

If you are an ordinary person who encounters this change, even if you are not frightened and overwhelmed, you will be terrified.

But Liu Bei himself came with the determination to die, how could he be the slightest bit afraid? Instead, he laughed, "In that case, then the general should know my intentions." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "It's just persuasion." ”

"And what is the general going to do?" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xiu steadily, "The general should know very well that Shouchun can hold on for a while, but he can't hold on for a lifetime." It's only a matter of time before the city breaks. ”

"When Shouchun City is broken, it is the day of the general's death."

"It's better to surrender to General Fenwei as soon as possible, and you can still save your life."

Zhang Xiu didn't know in his heart that what Liu Bei said was true, but it was too risky to let him surrender.

"Enough! Shouchun is solid, and I want to see how you break Shouchun! ”

"When you come from afar, the food and grass are simply not enough to support the army to fight for a long time. According to Ben Jiang, it will be three months at the latest, or half a year at the most, and they will have to retreat. ”

The armies from all walks of life have come to Shouchun, and the pressure is certainly great.

But Zhang Xiu is well aware of their weaknesses.

Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Yan Liangwen's Jizhou army all faced the problem of grain and grass.

The daily consumption of food and grass by tens of thousands of troops is a staggering amount.

Even if they brought grain from the mainland, it would not be possible to gather enough food and grass to support the army for a long battle.

As long as he sticks to the city and drags it until the armies retreat, he can use Shouchun as the foundation, slowly gather troops and horses, and regain Yuan Shu's lost territory!

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and said faintly: "If the general is really willing to die for Yuan Shu, then it is useless to say more, and he will be cut down." But the general can talk to Zaixia for so long, it can be seen that he may not really take refuge in Yuan Shu, nor may he be full of confidence in sticking to Shouchun. ”

"Maybe after Sun Ce and Cao Cao's envoys arrived, the general has been waiting for me to arrive?"

Zhang Xiu's action of drinking tea paused slightly, and his face stiffened: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Bei said slowly: "The general had a blood feud with Cao Cao, and he was worried about his revenge, so he abandoned Wancheng and left, and voted for Yuan Shu, who was arrogated as emperor. After arriving in Yangzhou, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to lose so quickly. ”

"However, at this time, the general is desperate, and you urgently need a place to stay, so you can only take one step at a time. So the general fell into the danger of being trapped in Shouchun. ”

Listening to Liu Bei's words, although Zhang Xiu's face was expressionless, his eyes changed, and his hand holding the teacup became a little harder.

"The general knows that Yuan Shu's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and following Yuan Shu with all his heart is the only way to die."

However, the general had a grudge against Cao Cao, and he also had a grudge against Sun Ce. Their persuasion was not ignored by the general, but he did not dare to trust them. ”

"Only General Lu Bu of Fenwei has no grievances with the general, so you don't have to worry about settling accounts after the autumn."

"That's why I said that the general has been waiting for my arrival."

"Smack!" The teacup in Zhang Xiu's hand suddenly shattered, and the tea flowed all over his hands and body.

His underwear has been seen through by Liu Bei, and now there is no point in scheming again.

It's better to talk about the conditions directly.

Zhang Xiu looked straight at Liu Bei and said, "I can descend, but I have the conditions." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his spirit suddenly perked, and his tense heartstrings relaxed, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of joy.

He had previously investigated all the news related to Zhang Xiu with the help of the Mi family's network, and concluded that he would not be loyal to Yuan Shu and just wanted to survive.

Now it seems that everything is exactly as he deduced!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Bei showed a warm smile on his face,

"What are the conditions, the general doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"Xuande, wait a moment." Zhang Xiu got up, drew a long knife from Hu Che'er's waist, and walked towards the messenger sent by Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

With two muffled sounds, the two messengers collapsed in pools of blood.

Seeing this, Liu Bei secretly nodded with satisfaction.

If he didn't kill these two messengers, he would have something in his heart.

"Does the general know where your advisor Jia Xu is now?"

After Zhang Xiu killed the envoys of the two parties, his mentality was completely different from before. Haha laughed, "Xuande can just say it if he has something to say." ”

Liu Bei: "Jia Xu is now in Yecheng, and the Son of Heaven canonized him as Guangluxun." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's brows jumped, and a joy rose in her eyes.

Lu Bu was ordered by the Son of Heaven in Yecheng to crusade against Yuan Shu, and to vote for Lu Bu was to vote for the Son of Heaven.

Jia Xu has been crowned Guangluxun, so isn't he......

Zhang Xiu stepped forward and held Liu Bei's hands with blood-stained hands, "Xuande, come on, let's have a good discussion, how to capture Shouchun without blood." ”

……

Around midnight, the night was deep.

Yuan Shu was sleeping soundly in the dormitory, and suddenly, a pair of big hands dragged him up from the bed and threw him on the ground.

This fall directly woke Yuan Shu up, and he covered his arm and scolded angrily: "Who dares to be so bold!" ”

However, when he raised his head, he saw more than a dozen armor soldiers coming into the dormitory at some point, all wearing armor and knives, looking at him fiercely.

Seeing such a scene, he only felt a cold air rushing to the Tianling Gai from the soles of his feet, and said in horror: "Who are you who dare to trespass into the Son of Heaven's bedroom?" ”

Hu Che'er, who was the leader, sneered and waved his hand: "Tie up this guy to see the general!" ”

The two armorers stepped forward, quickly tied up Yuan Shu, and dragged him outside.

"Someone! Come on! ”

"Escort! Escort! ”

Yuan Shu was terrified and shouted hoarsely, but no one responded.

Not long after, he was escorted to a large hall.

"General, the puppet emperor has been brought!"

"Okay, you step back first."

Hearing this familiar voice, Yuan Shu's whole person was agitated, and he looked up suddenly, and his face suddenly showed a shocked expression.

On the throne of the main hall, there sat a man who had become his nightmare.

"Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shu was terrified in his heart, and he almost wondered if he was dreaming.

How did Lu Bu appear in his palace!

turned his head and looked, and found that it was not only Lu Bu, but Yan Liangwen, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, all of whom were present!

Lu Bugao sat on the main seat, condescendingly overlooking Yuan Shu, who was tied up by five flowers in the main hall, and sneered: "Traitor! Did you expect it to fall into the hands of General Ben? ”

Yuan Shu's face turned pale, and he said in disbelief: "My longevity is solid, how can you be here!" This can't be! ”

"General! I still have a great general! ”

"Where is the general? Where is my great general? ”

Yuan Shu kept struggling and calling for help, hoping that Zhang Xiu would come out to save him.

"Traitor, don't stop yet!"

A voice came, shattering Yuan Shu's last glimmer of hope.

When he heard the sound, he saw Zhang Xiu leading a team of armor soldiers into the main hall, still holding a box in his hand, and was looking at him with anger on his face at this time.

After glaring at Yuan Shu fiercely, Zhang Xiu stepped forward with the box in his hand and presented it to Lu Bu.

"General, the jade seal of the heirloom country stolen by the traitor Yuan Shu is in the box."

"Good!" Lu Bu was overjoyed, took the jade seal of the country and looked at it twice, and then handed it to Liu Bei, "Xuande, put away this jade seal, this is a great gift from this general to His Majesty, and it must be kept properly." ”

"General rest assured." Liu Bei took the box and was also a little excited.

The artifact is back in the hands of the Son of Heaven, does this indicate that the Han is about to usher in a new life.

Yuan Shu was completely stunned at this moment, he looked at Zhang Xiu blankly and said in a trembling voice: "General, why is this?" ”

"Why?" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly: "Yuan Shu! You arrogant the emperor, people and gods are angry, and the world will not tolerate it! ”

"I pretended to obey you before, but it was just to get the jade seal of the country to dedicate to Your Majesty! Now that General Fenwei's army has arrived, how can I continue to aid and abuse? Welcome from the city! ”

After hearing these words, Yuan Shu understood that Zhang Xiu had surrendered to the city. This made him desperate and angry at the same time.

"Zhang Xiu! You capricious villain! ”

"I treat you well, I named you a general, you dare to betray me!"

"Zheng ——!" Zhang Xiu was annoyed and ashamed, and directly pulled out the sharp blade on his waist, and said murderously: "Shut up!" Shameless old thief! Don't you know that all the people in the world want to eat your flesh raw! Dare to rap here! ”

Yuan Shu was already delirious at this time, ignoring Zhang Xiu's sword, and kept scolding.

There is no demeanor of the third prince of the fourth world at all.

Those foul words, Zhang Xiu, who listened to them, wanted to hack him to death directly.

"General Zhang, don't pay attention to this lost dog." Lu Bu hurriedly stopped Zhang Xiu, but he wanted to dedicate Yuan Shu to the Son of Heaven together with the jade seal of the country. If it is cut by Zhang Xiu now, it will be a big loss.

"Humph!" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly at Yuan Shu, put away the sharp blade and stepped aside.

Lu Bu said: "It is really a wise move for General Zhang to abandon the darkness and surrender to the city. This general will definitely report to the Son of Heaven and commend you for your merits. ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Xiu suddenly showed gratitude, and there was a burst of joy in his heart.

He has made great contributions, but he is not comparable to Jia Xu who went to Yecheng alone.

Jia Xu can get a Guangluxun, it shouldn't be a problem for him to be a third-grade leader, right?

Lu Bu turned to Liu Bei again and said, "Xuande, you should be the first to take the lead in capturing Shouchun this time." After completely taking over Shouchun, he escorted the traitor Yuan Shu with the general and went to Yecheng to meet the Son of Heaven. ”

was able to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender and sacrifice the city, and take Shouchun without blood, Liu Bei undoubtedly took the first credit.

"Thank you, General." Liu Bei responded with kindness.

"Good!" Lu Bu waved his hand, his eyes were shining, and he said in high spirits: "Pass the order, the army will enter the city to take over Shouchun!" ”

……

With Zhang Xiu's surrender, Lü Bu's army entered the city.

Yuan Shu's ambitions were completely bankrupt.

Cao Cao, who always paid attention to Lu Bu's movements, was so shocked when he learned the news that he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, and went directly to the deck of the warship to look in the direction of Shouchun.

When he saw groups of troops entering Shouchun, where the city gate was wide open, his face suddenly gloomy to the extreme.

"Zhang Xiu'er, I have repeatedly spoiled me!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and scolded, extremely resentful of Zhang Xiu!

He also sent an envoy a few days ago to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender, promising that as long as he was willing to surrender, all grievances would be written off, and he would also show the Son of Heaven to pay homage to him, but the envoy never returned.

I thought that this person was extremely stupid and wanted to die with Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, he voted for Lu Bu quietly.

After glancing at Shouchun hatefully, Cao Cao unwillingly ordered: "Order the three armies, retreat!" ”

Shouchun was obtained by Lu Bu, and he had no need to stay, so he could only withdraw his troops as soon as possible and fight for other territories in Yangzhou as much as possible.

At the same time, Sun Ce also received the news of Zhang Xiu's dedication to the city.

"Alas, it's a pity." Sun Ce sighed sadly.

He occupies the six counties of Jiangdong, and if he can capture Shouchun, he can succeed in hegemony.

"Invite the Governor to come and discuss the matter!"
