The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 169
"Okay, I'll wait for him for two months." Li Yuan clenched his fists, thinking that Liu Bei was always a disaster, and this time he would attack with Cao Cao to completely defeat Liu Bei.

Li Yuan asked Xi Zhicai to reply to Jian Yong, Cheng Pu, Guan Jing, Tian Feng and Wang Can, while he personally received Xun You.

In the guest room, Xun You was very calm on the surface, but actually a little anxious inside, because Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei and wanted to recover the lost ground, and now he has recovered Jibei, but Liu Bei is sticking to Licheng. Let them have to join forces for the second time in a short period of time.

The servants brought a cup of tea and put it on the table, but Xun You was not in the mood to drink tea at all. He heard that the envoys sent by the princes from all over the country wanted to see Li Yuan. When we met, Xi Zhicai was the one to deal with it. Although Xi Zhi was Li Yuan's confidant, he still felt uneasy when he didn't see Li Yuan.

"Dong dong dong" the door suddenly rang, Xun You went to open the door, saw Xi Zhicai, quickly pulled him into the room and asked, "Zhicai, I don't know how General Li will reply?"

Seeing Xun You's anxious look, Xi Zhicai couldn't help feeling amused, and said, "Gongdamo needs to be anxious, what is so fragrant?"

Xi Zhicai looked at the ginseng tea on the table, and joked: "Hahahaha, why doesn't Gongda drink a drop of such a good ginseng tea? You must know that my lord rarely greets guests with this kind of tea. Tea, prove that Gongda you are our distinguished guest."

"Zhicai, you don't want to tease me, I don't have the mood to drink tea now." Xun You said with a wry smile, Cao Cao sent him to rescue the soldiers, not to drink tea.

"Don't be anxious, Gongda. I think you should know that the envoys from all walks of life have important meetings with General Li, so General Li is very busy now." Xi Zhicai sat down in the room, not in a hurry.

"General Li went to meet other envoys?" Xun You was a little worried. He didn't care who Li Yuan saw, but he cared more about Jian Yong. Jian Yong was sent by Liu Bei, so he was worried that Jian Yong was here to persuade Li Yuan. Yuan should not join forces with Cao Cao.

"Does Gongda want to hear the truth or lies?" Xi Zhicai pretended to be deep.

"Then I want to hear the truth." Xun You didn't know what medicine Xi Zhicai sold in the gourd. He had known Xi Zhicai for a long time, but Xi Zhicai was as resourceful as him, so he couldn't guess who the other party was. What do you think.

"General Li didn't meet any envoys, but he only wanted to see you. Didn't I come to inform you?"

"How dare you play tricks on me, you are a Zhicai. I was worried just now." Xun You couldn't help laughing and cursing. When they were studying together, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia liked to tease them the most. Now it has been so many years. Zhicai remained unchanged, which made him feel warm in his heart.

"Hahahaha, okay, Gongda, hurry up and go to the living room, General Li is already waiting there, if you don't go, he will leave." Xi Zhicai laughed.

"Thank you Zhicai, Xun You will repay this kindness." After finishing speaking, Xun You rushed to the living room.

Seeing the back of Xun You trotting all the way, Xi Zhicai showed a smile on his face, "It seems that it's time for me to deal with those messengers."

So Xi Zhicai went to meet with Jian Yong and the others one by one, and told them the decision that he had discussed with Li Yuan. Of course, some were happy and others were sad. Cheng Pu and Tian Feng were happy, and Wang Can and Guan Jing were sad.

Sun Ce was short of food and grass at this time, and Li Yuan agreed to help Sun Ce, which greatly relieved Sun Ce's pressure. After receiving Li Yuan's reply, Cheng Pu sent someone back to Danyang to reply to Sun Ce, while he waited in Xiapi for Li Yuan to dispatch the food and grass, and then shipped it to Lujiang , in, and then sent to Danyang by water.

Tian Feng was also very happy when he learned that Li Yuan had received five thousand horses. He knew that Li Yuan was a man who kept his promise and would not break his promise easily. Yuan Shao believed that the biggest obstacle to going south was Li Yuan, as long as he crossed the river successfully. , can easily defeat Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Liu Bei in Beihai, and then deal with Li Yuan after gaining a firm foothold. Now Li Yuan has promised not to send troops when he goes south, which is a reassurance for him.

Wang Can was very upset when he got Xi Zhicai's reply. He insisted that Liu Biao was the lord of Jingzhou, and said that if Li Yuan didn't hand over Gan Ning and sent troops to attack Xuzhou, Xi Zhicai didn't bother to talk to Wang Can, and directly asked the soldiers to drive Wang Can away. Wang Can was so angry that he went out of the city, and vowed to persuade Liu Biao to send troops when he returned to Xiapi.

Xi Zhicai was not worried about offending Liu Biao, because Li Yuan and Sun Ce would join hands to attack Jingzhou in the future, and they would be enemies sooner or later, so he was not afraid of offending him. In addition, he knew Liu Biao's character well, so how could Liu Biao's temper be because of Liu Biao's temperament? A Gan Ning sent troops to attack Xuzhou. You must know that Li Yuan is now sitting in two states, and his strength is not weaker than Liu Biao. He does not believe that Liu Biao will have such courage.

After driving away Wang Can, Xi Zhicai went to meet Guan Jing again. To Guan Jing, he patiently explained why Li Yuan couldn't send troops, saying that Hebei was far away from Xuzhou, and the long journey would affect morale in the eyes, and there was a Cao Cao, so they couldn't send troops to join forces with Gongsun Zan.

Guan Jing was a little disappointed when he learned that Li Yuan would not send troops, but Xi Zhicai told Li Yuan about opening up new routes and befriending Gongsun Du, so that Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du could befriend Gongsun Du. In the future, Gongsun Zan can also be brought to Lujiang from Liaodong.

Guan Jing was grateful to Xi Zhicai after listening to it, and then left Xiapi and returned to Peiping.

After dealing with Guan Jing, Xi Zhicai went to Jian Yong again, explaining to Jian Yong that Li Yuan still needs to think about it, and asked him to go back to Beihai to wait, and once he made a decision, he would send someone to notify him immediately.

Jian Yong didn't stay long after listening to it, and said goodbye to Xi Zhicai before returning to Beihai, because Liu Bei told him before departure that it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, the important thing is to let Li Yuan know about it.

After Xi Zhicai dealt with the group of envoys, he finally completed the task, so he can go back and have a good sleep. He still hasn't fully woke up from the wine last night...

On the other side, Xun You had a meeting with Li Yuan.

"Xun Gongda met General Li." Xun You walked into the living room and saluted Li Yuan.

"Hahahaha, you and Zhicai are good friends, that is, my good friends. You don't have to be so polite. Come and sit." Li Yuan pointed to the seat opposite and asked Xun You to sit over.

Xun You sat down quickly, and Li Yuan poured a cup of ginseng tea for Xun You himself, and Xun You said quickly, "General Li, let me come."

"Didn't I say just now that you are welcome, now we are friends, there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors." Li Yuan smiled, and then poured tea into Xun You's cup.

"Thank you, General Li." Xun You raised the cup, took a sip, and found that the taste was extremely fragrant and memorable. No wonder Xi Zhi said that Li Yuan usually would not entertain guests with this kind of ginseng tea, and it was indeed a rare and good tea.
