I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 529 Liu Xuande, a Gentleman

Yuan Shu is not a fool without plan or vision. Although compared with Yuan Shao, he is indeed far behind, but he can still see the general situation of the world.

In fact, since Liu Jian won the position of General Fuyuan, the princes of the world can see the general trend of the world situation.

A few years ago, this world might still be regarded as a separatist regime.

But what about now?
Where is the power of the princes to separate the regime!

It is clear that the family of Liu Deran, the Fuyuan general who sits in Hebei, is the only one, and they are the most powerful in the world.

But this Liu Jian represents the clan of the Han Dynasty, and this Liu Jian is still a staunch executor of the imperial court's New Deal!
Obviously, once he gains power, the first thing he has to deal with is the top four-generation and three-father family like the Yuan family.

In terms of interests and positions, the contradiction between Yuan and Liu Jian gradually emerged, and this contradiction has become irreducible and has gradually turned into a life-and-death class war.

Although Yuan Shu was trampled on by Yuan Shao, he still held on to a concept in his heart, that is, he is the legitimate son of the fourth generation and the third father!

No matter how poor he is, his status is the most noble and honorable, far stronger than the son of a servant girl like Yuan Shao!

But the problem is, once the Yuan family is defeated by Liu Jian, and the gate of the fourth generation and the third prince disappears, what use is there for him, the son of the fourth generation and the third prince?
Leave him to become a lowly savage, a lowly pariah, picking up trash all over the place?
If it is said that the Yuan family has disappeared, who can't stand and accept this fact the most... then it is probably Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao knew Yuan Shu very well, he knew where Yuan Shu's bottom line was.

That's why he dared to send Pang Ji to Yuan Shu to say these foolish words!
But obviously, Yuan Shao hurt Yuan Shu too deeply.

Yuan Shu has completely lost trust in Yuan Shao now.

"Tell Yuan Benchu ​​that he wants to unite with me, then let Cao Cao return Shouchun...no, all the counties in Yangzhou to me! And the land of Yuzhou...by the way, the person surnamed Cao has to come to me in a prison car Plead guilty before the law!"

Pang Ji looked at Yuan Shu with an angry and distorted expression in a little surprise, and sighed, "General, do you have no sincerity for peace talks if you ask so much?"

"you are right!"

Yuan Shu still has three points of blood in his bones.

"Tell that little maid's son that he wants to make peace with someone?... Wishful thinking!"

"Yuan came to Xuzhou today to help Tao Gongzu. Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to plot against Xuzhou, so he had to pass me!"

Pang Ji's smiling face turned cold.

"Since that's the case, it seems that I can't continue talking with the general, but the general remembers that my lord will always have the sincerity to negotiate peace with the general. After all, the general and my lord are half-brothers! If the general wants to join forces, just send someone to see my lord, and my family will definitely welcome you."

"Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Pang Ji saluted Yuan Shu, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Yuan Shu said slowly, "Is that why you want to leave?"

Pang Ji couldn't help crying in his heart.

At the beginning, he was entrusted with being a lobbyist in front of Yuan Shao's heroes!

With Yuan Shu's attitude now, could it be that he wants to do something unfavorable to himself?
Pang Ji was inexplicably horrified, but still showed a look of disdain on his face, and turned to look at Yuan Shu.

"Does the general still want to kill me, the envoy?"

Yuan Shu said coldly: "Your Nanyang Pang family is also considered a famous family. If Yuan kills you, he may cause people to talk about it, but if you dare to be a lobbyist for the son of the Yuan family's little maid, you will be punished to some extent and let you wait for these things." Everyone knows who is Yuan's heir!...Come here, drag him down, beat him with twenty army sticks, and then send the son of the little servant girl back in a bullock cart! Let the people of Jingzhou have a long memory! "

Pang Ji heard this and his face turned pale.

Twenty army sticks are enough to kill half of his life!
"Yuan Gonglu, you dare to hit me? I am the envoy of Yuan Jingzhou... You, you dare to be rude... Let me go! Let me go!"

Two guards from Yuan Jun had already come up, picked up Pang Ji and dragged him out of the tent.

"Yuan Shu! You can't hit me! You can't hit me... ouch!"

Yuan Shu looked fiercely at Pang Ji who had disappeared from his sight, then slapped the desk hard, and said angrily: "Order the three armies, the whole army will march towards Pengcheng tomorrow, and I will fight Cao thief again!"

Yuan Shu's Bing Ma Qian Fan and Cao Cao went through a fierce battle in Yangzhou. In fact, Yuan Jun's morale was also very high at that time. Logically, he should not have lost the battle with Cao Cao... At least Yuan Shu himself thought so.

From Yuan Shu's point of view, Cao Cao has too many schemes and tricks. According to the normal analysis, it is impossible for Yuan Jun to lose to Cao Jun!
Yuan Shu has always been unconvinced about losing to Cao Cao.

Entering Xuzhou this time, looking for an opportunity to seek Xuzhou's foundation is one, and the other is to defeat Cao Cao and get back his own dignity and ambition.

After hearing that Yuan Shu was going to send troops to attack Cao Cao, Yan Xiang rushed to persuade Yuan Shu.

"General, the conquest of Cao Cao can be postponed, but the general asks the generals to go to Tancheng first and meet Tao Qian before dealing with Cao Cao!"

Yuan Shu's expression was a bit disdainful: "Why bother?"

"No! It's not troublesome! Tao Qian is the master of Xuzhou, and we are foreign guests. When we first arrive there, we still need the master's permission..."

Yuan Shu waved his hand impatiently: "When did Dahanzhou County belong to his Tao family? Besides, he asked me to come here on his own initiative, and I didn't come here willingly!"

"Now that I've taken the initiative to help him kill the thief, it's fine if he doesn't appreciate it. Why should I go and ask for his orders in person? Danyang Tao Clan was just a vassal of my Yuan family in the past. There's no need for this!"

"Order Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui to dispatch troops immediately to attack Pengcheng. I want to have a showdown with Cao Bandit!"

Yan Xiang tried his best to persuade him, but Yuan Shu just refused, so he had no choice but to retreat.

……

A few days later, Liu Bei's army arrived in Tancheng.

Liu Bei was very polite and stationed all [-] troops outside the country, led by Cheng Pu.

He himself brought Han Dang, Gao Shun, Tai Shici, Han Meng and others into the city to meet Tao Qian.

Tao Qian was very happy when Liu Bei came to help. He led all the officials to the city gate to welcome Liu Bei.

From afar, I saw Liu Bei leading a few people towards him.

Tao Qian couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, and then asked Mi Zhu beside him, "Why are there only a few people?"

Mi Zhu said in a low voice: "Liu Xuande stationed troops and horses outside the city, while he himself led a group of generals into the city. There were no more than 20 people in his entourage, which shows his sincerity. He is really open-minded."

Tao Qian was stunned when he heard this.

When he was young, Fang heard him sigh and said with emotion: "Xuande is a true gentleman...Zizhong, the person you recommended is really the right one."

Speaking of this, Tao Qian asked again in a low voice: "Who are those generals around Xuande?"

"I heard that Liu Bei is here, bringing along Gao Shun, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Han Meng, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang..."

After Tao Qian heard these names, he suddenly interrupted: "Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others...haven't they arrived yet?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "These people the envoy mentioned are all Liu Jian's direct generals! With Liu Bei, I'm afraid they still can't command them."

Hearing this, Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good. It seems that Liu Xuande is not deceiving me. He really came to save Xuzhou sincerely, not to seize my foundation."

"Exactly."

When he said this, Tao Qian's face darkened.

"On the other hand, Yuan Gonglu, when he arrived in Xuzhou, didn't even meet the old man face to face. He heard that he drove his troops to fight Cao Cao directly. Our army has not yet fought Cao Cao directly, and there may be room for maneuver, but he went directly to fight Cao Cao. Isn’t it cutting off the retreat of our army? Isn’t this public revenge? It’s really hateful!”
