Because at the beginning, in order to snatch Yuan Tan's territory, Liu Bei killed some people of the Yuan family.

Although Yuan Xi didn't have much contact with Liu Bei, Liu Bei was not very friendly to the Yuan family.

After all, the Yuan family wants to set up a new emperor, and for a loyal and patriotic person like Liu Bei, there is naturally a sense of resistance.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao themselves did not deal with each other, so they naturally couldn't talk about how friendly Yuan Xi was.

Although the two sides have never fought, it is because their territory is not directly bordered, and Yuan Shang is sandwiched between them.

Even if Liu Bei wanted to find trouble with Yuan Xi, he didn't have a chance.

But this time, at this time, Liu Bei sent someone over.

Yuan Xi didn't understand a little bit.

"General Zhao Yun, dare to ask Liu Bei what he wants to do when he sends you?"

Tian Feng was silent for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked Zhao Yun.

The purpose of Zhao Yun's appearance here made Tian Feng even more curious.

"My family received a secret report that Liu Zheng led a large army to suppress the rebels of Yuan Xigongzi and others."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Liu Zheng, let us take advantage of it, so we sent 30,000 cavalry from my commander to quickly come here to support the general and cooperate with the general to deal with Liu Zheng."

After Zhao Yun came to Yanzhou, he immediately hooked up with Zhang Fei.

The conversation with Zhang Fei was just to ask Zhang Fei to provide some food and grass, and he had no intention of continuing to be stationed in Yanzhou.

After all, the purpose of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others coming here this time was to put some pressure on Liu Zheng.

But when they came to Yanzhou near the direction of Jizhou, they found that Liu Zheng's vanguard was gradually approaching Hejian County, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses of Bang Dun were plundering in Zhongshan Kingdom.

This news gave Zhao Yun and Ma Chao some ideas.

They directly brought people to contact Yuan Xi, planning to contact Yuan Xi in private.

As long as they can cooperate with Yuan Xi, this is far better than acting alone.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Yun and Yuan Xi both came to target Liu Zheng.

They have a common enemy, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

With the existence of Liu Zheng, some small frictions between Zhao Yun and Yuan Xi can be ignored at all, and it has become a logical thing to promote cooperation.

This is also why, Zhao Yun dared to come directly to the door at this time, and he didn't even come to his own guards.

He came with only a few personal soldiers.

"You want to cooperate with us to deal with Liu Zheng? You are still stationed in Yanzhou with 30,000 cavalry, ready to come to support at any time? ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's answer, the three people present were shocked.

They were short of soldiers and horses to confront Liu Zheng's army.

Now that they have Zhao Yun's manpower, it will be a great help for them.

At least, with the help of 30,000 cavalry, it will not be so easy for Liu Zheng to take down their county seat.

Tian Feng asked this sentence, with Zhao Yun's nod. Let the few people present be more convinced.

But Yuan Xi, who was standing on the side, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked.

"Why did we agree to work with you?"

Compared with Tian Feng's thinking very clearly, Yuan Xi on the side was really not so clear.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, he hesitated for a while, then didn't understand what Zhao Yun meant, and then asked rhetorically.

It seems that he is a little reluctant to join forces with Zhao Yun to deal with Liu Zheng.

It's not because he is arrogant, he thinks that he can deal with Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses with his own strength.

It's because he didn't understand Zhao Yun's intentions and was worried that he would be pitted by Zhao Yun.

can only prevent Yu Weiran from cooperating with Zhao Yun.

However, in this way, he himself has to face Liu Zheng's offensive pressure, which is great.

When Yuan Xi asked this, Zhao Yun was confused.

Zhao Yun originally thought that Yuan Xi and these people were all smart people who knew that cooperation would benefit both sides, so he was relieved to come over boldly, but he never expected to hear Yuan Xi's reluctance to cooperate with him now.

This made Zhao Yun speechless for a while.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head again and looked at Yuan Xi.

"General Yuan Xi, we have no malicious intentions, and cooperating with us to deal with Liu Zheng can also reduce your pressure, after all, he is our common enemy."

Zhao Yun was patient again and explained to Yuan Xi.

In fact, Yuan Xi could naturally understand the meaning of Zhao Yun's words.

It's just that the reason why he said this was not entirely because he wanted to reject Zhao Yun's proposal.

Instead, he wanted to give Zhao Yun a dismissal first.

Then we will slowly discuss cooperation.

Of course, it was more that Yuan Xi wanted to squeeze some value out of Zhao Yun's hands.

For example, the problem they are encountering now is that they lack grain and grass, and if they cooperate with Zhao Yun, Yuan Xi wants to deceive some grain and grass from Zhao Yun's hands, only in this way can they hold on here for a longer time, and they will have a greater grasp of dealing with Liu Zheng.

If he didn't do this, Zhao Yun might not be able to provide him with some food and grass.

"It's not impossible to cooperate with you, but now we have encountered some difficulties here, presumably General Zhao Yun should have heard that when my general Badun went to Zhongshan Kingdom to loot grain and grass, he was burned by a cavalry under Liu Zheng!"

"We are already short of grain and grass, and now some of the grain and grass that we finally grabbed were burned by Liu Zheng's men and horses, and now the situation is not good, since General Zhao Yun is here, I will be cheeky to ask the general for some grain and grass, I don't know what the general wants?"

Yuan Xi said this directly to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's face immediately became gloomy.

I couldn't help but start thinking in my heart, this Yuan Xi's calculation is really good.

Originally, he came for their grain and grass, but Zhao Yun was also a little powerless at this time.

Liu Bei's grain and grass were almost consumed last year.

This time, if there was no food and grass, only 30,000 soldiers and horses would have been sent over to join in the fun.

So after thinking about it, Zhao Yun still wanted to reject Yuan Xi's proposal.

"General Yuan Xi, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to your proposal."

"Huh?"

"It's not that we don't want to cooperate with General Yuan Xi, but you should also know that we don't have too much grain and grass here, and there is no extra to give you at all."

Zhao Yun is also telling the truth, he also has 30,000 cavalry under his command to consume grain and grass.

Liu Bei himself didn't have much grain and grass to give him, and this was only possible to solve it by mobilizing some of Zhang Fei's subordinates from Yanzhou for emergency response.

As soon as Yuan Xi heard Zhao Yun's words, he immediately felt a little unhappy.

As soon as he heard that he wanted food, Zhao Yun didn't give it, and Yuan Xi's face was not good-looking.

"Hmph, General Zhao Yun, if you say that, it's a little insincere."
