Beast King Three Kingdoms

After Gu Yong's trial this time, Yuan Shu's civil and military officials were completely relieved.

At the same time, everyone also understood Yuan Shu's intentions, and they were very excited. He is planning to delegate power!

Drunk and lying on the lap of a beauty, awake to control the power of the world, rich in wealth, and buy everything in the world.

Beauty, power, and wealth are all things that the world desires most, among which power is the most valued by the world. It is rare that Yuan Shu is so "generous", and everyone will naturally not refuse, and he is more attentive in doing things.

For a time, the efficiency of government affairs has been greatly improved.

Yuan Shu did not expect unexpected gains. Although he delegated power, he always grasped the bottom line, and this bottom line is military power. Although government affairs are at the disposal of everyone, he is the only one who can mobilize the army.

"With the military power in hand, I have the world", no matter how you look at it, it is more real than "with the jade seal in hand, I have the world".

Since his subordinates are working so hard, Yuan Shu is happy to be at ease, spending the whole day with his lovely wife and children, and the whole family enjoys themselves happily.

The ordinary days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, October had already arrived.

Intelligence Department, Jia Xu got a message and came to report to Yuan Shu.

……

"What? Liu Bei actually hired Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, isn't he afraid of the Xuzhou family's attack?" Yuan Shu was surprised.

Before, the Chen family was oppressed by the big families, and it was almost breathless.

Before Tao Qian's death, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son had been reduced to the fringes of Xuzhou, far away from the core.

At the beginning of Liu Bei's leadership of Xuzhou, he dared to take the risk of offending the great families and use Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, which was far beyond Yuan Shu's expectations.

"This big-eared thief! He really has some courage." Yuan Shu was secretly afraid.

Seeing Yuan Shu's reaction, Jia Xu was puzzled, and said, "I think Liu Bei's move is not surprising. You must know that although Liu Bei has already taken charge of Xuzhou, his power is not stable. Myself, no matter how normal it is, why does my lord..."

Yuan Shu shook his head slightly. According to his understanding of Liu Bei, even if he really wanted to consolidate his own power, he would do it slowly and show benevolence and righteousness. Such a drastic method did not seem to come from Liu Bei's hands.

"Could it be that there is an external force?"

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he turned to Jia Xu, and asked, "Is there any movement from Cao Cao's side?"

Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shu suspiciously, not knowing why he suddenly turned to Cao Cao, but still said: "Cao Cao is fighting Lu Bu at this time, there is nothing unusual about it."

"Then it's not Cao Cao!" Yuan Shu murmured.

"My lord, what's your puzzlement?" Jia Xu asked curiously.

Yuan Shu thought for a while, and told Jia Xu his guess.

Jia Xu listened, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "My lord is a fan of the authorities, and the one who persecutes Liu Bei is none other than the lord himself!"

"Huh?" Yuan Shu was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"In the past, the Lord fought against Xuzhou, and they had enmity with each other. Now that the Lord's army is returning to the north, how can Liu Bei feel at ease?" Jia Xu explained.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Yuan Shu suddenly realized that it was his fault.

"Hehe! Really..." Yuan Shu smiled and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Jia Xu suddenly said: "If the subordinate's expectations are correct, Liu Bei will send envoys to show his favor in a short time."

"Oh!" Yuan Shu didn't pay attention at first, and responded casually. After a while, he realized something was wrong. Jia Xu's words seemed to have other meanings.

"Wen He has something to say, just say it directly." Yuan Shu said.

Jia Xu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei abandoned Gongsun Zan and left for Xuzhou, which shows that he has a lot of ambition. Moreover, this person claims to be a clan member of the Han family, and he wants to be righteous in the name of righteousness. His ambition is obvious, and my lord should not take it lightly. "

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "Now that Liu Bei is sitting in Xuzhou, and Chen Deng is under his command, it may become a serious disaster in the future, so my lord might suppress it."

"Wen He's vision is really vicious!" Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu appreciatively, then changed the topic, and said, "However, there is no need for me to take action, someone will find trouble for Liu Bei."

Jia Xu lowered his head in thought, and soon guessed what Yuan Shu was referring to, and asked tentatively, "Master, you mean Cao Cao?"

"That's right!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly, and said, "Cao Cao will never let Xuzhou go."

"My lord is wise!" Jia Xu complimented.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Liu Bei chose the wrong place. Xuzhou was not the place where he rose up. If it was Yizhou..."

Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he said: "My lord! Liu Yan died of illness last year, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded him. At this time, Yizhou is in turmoil. After taking Jingzhou, my lord can enter Yizhou and take all the land in the south, and then go north. , will definitely be unfavorable.”

"Impossible!" Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "The south is only a safe place after all. It's hard to live in for a long time. After taking Jingzhou, it's imperative to go north."

Jia Xu couldn't understand this point, and Yuan Shu didn't explain it either.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu told Jia Xu to pay close attention to the developments of Yan and Xu states.

Jia Xu took the order and left.

……

……

Xuzhou.

Just as Jia Xu expected, Liu Bei was terrified when he learned that Yuan Shu had returned to Shouchun.

"Yuan Shu just finished the battle, and his soldiers are exhausted, so he probably won't attack Xuzhou."

Having said that, Liu Bei still couldn't feel at ease.

At this time, Liu Bei complained a little about the dead Tao Qian, why did he provoke Yuan Shu for no reason, Tao Qian was dead, and he was done, but he created a big enemy for him, it was really unpleasant to think about it.

But Liu Bei didn't want to think about it. If it wasn't for Tao Qian, he might not be able to sit on the throne of Xuzhou Mu.

At that moment, Liu Bei put away his thoughts and summoned Chen Deng to discuss.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to bring Chen Gui together, but unfortunately Chen Gui was ill in bed, so he had to give up.

In the state pastoral mansion, Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang waited quietly.

After a while, Chen Deng came.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Bei asked directly: "Yuanlong! Yuan Shu has returned to Shouchun, how should we deal with ourselves?"

As soon as Chen Deng heard it, he knew that Liu Bei was worried about Yuan Shu's going north, so he said tactfully, "The Battle of Yuzhang lasted for several months, and Yuan's soldiers must be exhausted and unable to take care of him."

Fearing that Liu Bei would not be able to let go, Chen Deng vaguely reminded: "Yuan Shu's current goal is Jingzhou, so don't worry about it, my lord."

Liu Bei understood what Chen Deng said, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei asked again: "The previous dispute between Yuan Shu and me in Xuzhou was just a misunderstanding. Can you send someone to explain it and restore the old relationship? This may save the disaster of war, and it is really a blessing for the people."

Chen Deng was a little disappointed. Liu Bei's behavior was obviously timid. The blessing of the common people was just an excuse. Such a person did not look like a hero.

"My lord is benevolent and righteous! However, Yuan Shu is ambitious. After taking down Jingzhou, he will definitely go north. My subordinates believe that sooner or later, my lord and Yuan Shu will have a battle. It doesn't matter whether we get on good terms or not." Chen Deng still wanted to fight for it.

Liu Bei had a difficult childhood, wandered around in the market, and met all kinds of people. Because of this, he developed the ability to observe words and expressions. He could spot Chen Deng's strangeness at a glance.

At that moment, Liu Bei said seriously: "How could I not know what Yuan Long said? Yuan Shu respected the Han Dynasty on the surface, but he was secretly expanding his power. He was ambitious, and he was actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. But I, Xuzhou, have experienced several wars and consumed a lot. , We are already powerless to contend with them. We know that we are invincible, so naturally we can’t fight against stones. The best way is to show them weakness and accumulate strength. When the time is right, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop and restore peace to the world.”

At the end, Liu Bei made an impassioned look.
