Annoyed and angry because of the failure to work, Yuan Shao did not think that such a trivial matter would be a reason for Lu Bu to reject his kindness.

Especially since there is not much of a holiday between them.

Although the two were enemies when Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo's command at the beginning, it was only forced by the difference in camps, and they never had a grudge because of other things.

After Dong Zhuo's death, those grievances also disappeared.

So logically speaking, now he took the initiative to put down his body to show favor to Lu Bu, put on all kinds of battles, and even did not hesitate to make an exception to make him a duke.

But instead of appreciating it, Lu Bu was full of hostility.

Yuan Shao, who couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, asked a group of strategists to discuss and exchange opinions to see what was going on.

After finding the cause, he was able to prescribe the right medicine.

Tian Feng frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Liu Bei has a lot of relationship with Lu Bu now, Feng thinks that it is very likely that he made up and despised the lord in front of Lu Bu, so Lu Bu is so hostile to the lord. ”

"Liu Bei should have killed him when he was in Yecheng."

He is still angry that he didn't kill Liu Bei.

Last time, Liu Bei set up a military order and took Pei County on the 10th, such a dead end made him desperate, and even now he has re-pulled up his soldiers and horses, and he has also won Lu Bu's trust, which is incredible!

This crusade against Yuan Shu made Zhang Xiu surrender and sacrifice the city, showing extraordinary courage and courage.

Therefore, Tian Feng was even more convinced that Liu Bei would be a threat in the future, and he regretted more and more that he failed to persuade Yuan Shao to kill him in the first place.

Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng revealed his old background again, dissatisfied that he didn't kill Liu Bei at that time, he was slightly annoyed in his heart, and snorted coldly:

"How can a mere weaving mat seller become a climate? Today, the Son of Heaven has issued an order and appointed him as the pastor of Jingzhou. Liu Biao is here, and he will never be able to take office.

At present, Lu Bu occupies the entire Xuzhou, and Yangzhou is also in his pocket. The top priority is to win him over! If he forms an alliance with me, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Kyushu in the world, and five states in hand. At that time, the great cause can be accomplished in an instant. ”

Yuan Shao now has no hope for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at all.

These two people are loyal to Liu Bei, and he can't win them over.

Lu Bu did not have no chances, and Lu Bu was more courageous than the previous two, and he occupied a lot of territory, and he was a force to be reckoned with.

"Lord, Lu Bu is capricious, and he has changed his master three times, and the risk of winning him over is too great."

The judge was worried, and he did not suggest that Yuan Shao win over Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is indeed brave, but the bloody examples of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are in front of him.

Who knows if Lu Bu will suddenly stab him in the back in the future?

Yuan Shao frowned and was silent, he didn't accept Lu Bu's refuge because he was afraid of this at the beginning.

But time has passed, and the capricious villain in the past has developed to this point.

He couldn't help but feel deep regret.

Compared with Xuzhou and Yangzhou, what is a stab in the back?

He was confident that he would subdue Lu Bu.

Just like the military generals who have taken refuge in him over the years, as long as they are under his command, who is not loyal to him?

"What does Guangluxun have any suggestions?"

Yuan Shao finally set his eyes on Jia Xu, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea and had not spoken.

Jia Xu is different from Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, and he is not nominally under Yuan Shao's command.

But every time there is a meeting, whether Yuan Shao informs him or not, he will be there.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's view, Jia Xu is also equivalent to his retainer.

Jia Xu originally just wanted to drink tea quietly, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't hide.

So he put down the teacup in his hand, and after a little muttering, he asked, "Is the general asking whether to win over Lu Bu, or how to win over Lu Bu?" ”

"If it's the former, then I can't give any good advice, there are pros and cons, and the general needs to make his own decision."

"If it's the latter, then I can say a few words."

As a strategist, if it is not a last resort, there is no need to make any decisions for the superior; It is only necessary to give a way to achieve the goal after the superior has made a decision.

Only then will you never set yourself on fire.

"How should General Ben win over Lu Bu?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said slowly: "Looking at Lu Bu's previous experience, the three changes of ownership are all for fame, fortune and beauty, if the general wants to win him over, he can start from this aspect." ”

Yuan Shao sighed helplessly, "Why don't I know?" Today, the Son of Heaven canonized him as a hussar general, and made an exception to crown him as a county duke, and the respect for the title is even above me. ”

"In addition, I have carefully prepared more than a dozen beauties, and I plan to give them to him when he comes to the mansion as a guest, but he will not come."

Yuan Shao asked himself that he had shown the greatest sincerity, but his sincerity was like a flattering eye thrown to a blind man.

Jia Xu paused, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he said euphemistically: "Has the general ever thought that what Lu Bu is trying to do is not a hussar general at all?" ”

When the words fell, everyone was stunned.

The hussar general is the pinnacle of military generals in the imperial court, second only to the general.

The picture is not a hussar general, so what does he want?

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Is it possible...... Could it be that he wants the position of my general?! ”

Jia Xu didn't speak, but his silence said it all.

Yuan Shao's face suddenly became ugly.

Understood, he understood it all.

Why was Lu Bu hostile to him, why did he turn a blind eye to all his overtures, and why was there no fluctuation when he was awarded the title of Hussar General in the main hall today.

It turned out that what he was plotting was actually a great general!

"Arrogance!" Chun Yuqiong scolded, "Lu Bu is a puppet, what qualifications do you dare to covet the position of general?" ”

Yuan Shao kept his face calm and said nothing.

He can tolerate Lu Bu's title being higher than him, because the title is naturally noble in the prosperous times, but in the troubled times, in the final analysis, it is just a false name.

Even if he is given a bigger food estate, can he go and get it?

But the official position is different!

He is a great general and a great Sima, who can nominally control the soldiers and horses of the world, and is really under one person and above ten thousand. Nature occupies the righteousness.

If he gave up the position of the general to Lu Bu, not only would he not be able to command Lu Bu in the future, but he would have to listen to Lu Bu's orders!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, Yuan Shao said expressionlessly: "The matter of recruiting Lu Bu will be stopped." ”

Lu Bu is the position of a general, and it is impossible for him to give it up.

Therefore, it became nonsense to win over Lu Bu.

"It seems that it is impossible to directly order Lu Bu in the future, and he can only be instructed through the edict of the Son of Heaven. That's it, it's all the same. Yuan Shao said secretly in his heart.

Anyway, the Son of Heaven is completely under his control, and what edict to issue is not entirely up to him, as long as Lu Bu is still loyal to the Son of Heaven, then he must obey the edict.

"That's all for today, go back and rest."

Yuan Shao said, and everyone retired one by one.

Jia Xu glanced at Yuan Shao and whispered: "If Lu Bu annexes Yangzhou, there will be two states, which is not weaker than Yuan Shao." Judging from his words and deeds in the court today, it seems that he feels guilty about the Son of Heaven. For the future, I have to talk to Guo Jia. ”

After a few months, he witnessed the contradictions and conflicts between Yuan Shao's internal forces, and Jia Xu believed that Yuan Shao was not worthy of allegiance.

Now that Lu Bu's arrival has made him lean towards the Son of Heaven again.

I made up my mind to be honest with Guo Jia.

After the strategists and generals were gone, Yuan Shao boarded a carriage and headed for the prison.

He was going to see Yuan Shu.

……

Palace.

Liu Xie held the heirloom jade seal in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and he couldn't put it down.

"It's beautiful."

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

Whenever he saw these eight words, he felt a burst of blood boiling, and there was an indescribable throbbing in his heart.

He could now understand why Sun Jian secretly hid the heirloom jade seal, and he could also understand why Yuan Shu couldn't help but claim the title of emperor.

With this thing in your hand, the desire to ascend the throne and become emperor will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times.

Because this jade seal represents the supreme right!

The only fly in the ointment is that the corner of the jade seal is missing, although it is made up with gold, but it is not so perfect after all.

This was when Wang Mang usurped power and forced him to hand over the jade seal, which was broken by the latter in anger.

"It is said that after Wang Zhengjun broke the corner of the jade seal, the horn of dragon qi went north, so the north often invaded in later generations, and after thousands of years, a demon dragon was raised, so that the barbarians could enter the customs."

Liu Xie stroked the missing corner of the jade seal, and thought of the rumors that appeared from nowhere in his previous life.

"Alas, it's a pity that this artifact isn't mine after all. I don't know when Yuan Shao will take it away. ”

Just as Liu Xie was sighing, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the dormitory:

"Your Majesty, the hussar general is asking to see you outside the palace."
