Chapter 260: This time and that time
();
"Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, if you want to play with Ben Hou, Ben Hou will let you know what is called the power of thunder." Lu Bu said in a low voice.
For this war, Lu Bu made a lot of preparations, and Lu Bu didn't do it to win over the princes, it was too normal for the princes to fight for the sake of interests, even if they got the promise of the princes, what could they do, and the relationship between him and Yuan Shu was a good illustration, in the face of absolute interests, there were no allies, and some were just fighting for interests.
As Jia Xu and Guo Jia expected, the envoys from the Quartet came precisely for the sake of benefit.
The situation in Xuzhou is critical, and it is the best opportunity to seize the benefits, such as taking the opportunity to get a large number of Hundred Refining Blades, otherwise once Lu Bu breaks through for Yuan Shu, it means that the forging method of Hundred Refining Blades will fall into Yuan Shu's control.
With Yuan Shu's heart, after obtaining such a forging method for a sharp weapon, how could he share it with other princes.
In the eyes of the princes, LΓΌ Bu and Yuan Shu clashed, LΓΌ Bu was on the absolutely weak side, if he didn't do much after the war began, the most likely situation was the betrayal of the officials under his rule.
Yuan Shu's fame is not comparable to Lu Bu, which is also Yuan Shu's greatest advantage.
And if you give Lu Bu some support at this time, you will definitely be able to gain Lu Bu's favor.
Liu Bei's envoy and Sun Ce's envoy expressed such a meaning, and Jia Xu and Guo Jia also promised to sell a certain amount of Hundred Refining Blades to the two parties, and even had such a certain discount in price.
Lu Bu is a strong monarch and is unwilling to bow his arrogant head in front of the princes, but Guo Jia and Jia Xu want to consider the problem from Lu Bu's point of view.
For Xuzhou to have no more enemies in the future, even if the two of them suffer some grievances, it is nothing.
When Jia Xu and Guo Jia said the conditions for agreeing, Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and then understood the intentions of the two, and nodded and agreed, the preferential price is not much, as for whether he can win over Sun Ce and Liu Bei, there is no way to know.
Sun Ce and Liu Bei's envoys were still easy to deal with, but Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's envoys were not so simple.
Unlike when Xu You came to Xuzhou, Xu You now feels arrogant.
"Military advisor, the state pastor sent this envoy here for the sake of Wenhou." Xu Youdao.
Jia Xu naturally understood the meaning of Xu You's words, and said with a smile: "Wenhou is busy with affairs, if the envoy has anything to say, he will convey it on his behalf." β
"Busy? This envoy came, but it represents the princes and allies. Xu Yu said dissatisfied.
Jia Xu said: "The lord of the princes? Why doesn't the officer remember? β
Xu You's face turned red, Yuan Shao used to be the leader of the princes' alliance, but now that the princes' alliance is long gone, if he uses this as a starting point, it will make people laugh.
When the princes were in the alliance, Yuan Shao did have a high prestige among the princes, and the princes did not dare to disobey an order, but now the situation has changed dramatically, and the princes will still put Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, in their eyes for their own interests.
As for saying that Yuan Shao passed when recommending officials, it was just for a better pass.
"Yuan Shu is the land where tens of thousands of troops are gathered in Yuzhou." Xu Yu snorted coldly.
Jia Xu said with a smile: "In the past, when Wenhou was in charge of Xuzhou, he was embattled, and the situation was so critical, but the princes have seen Wenhou show weakness, and now Wenhou is in the land of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and Pengcheng is strong, will he still be afraid of the enemy army?" β
"The tone of the military advisor is not small, I wonder if it can represent the meaning of Wen Hou?" Xu Yu asked.
Jia Xu said: "Since Wen Hou has put this official in charge of this matter, this official can naturally call the shots, but I don't know what the envoy means, can I represent Jizhou Mu?" β
Xu You felt the edge from Jia Xu's body, and he had Lu Bu's posture of resolutely counterattacking in the face of the attacks of the princes in the past.
What an important position Jia Xu has by Lu Bu's side, Xu You has a certain understanding, since he came to Xuzhou, he must do a good job, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu's attitude was so tough, didn't the strategists under Lu Bu see the danger in Xuzhou today.
"Yuan Shu is in charge of rich places such as Yuzhou and Yangzhou, plus Chenliu County and Jiyin County in Yanzhou, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong is also under his command, how critical is the situation of Wenhou, and the state pastor sent this envoy to help Wenhouye." Xu You's tone slowed down a lot.
Jia Xu said: "In the past, on the battlefield of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's troops were outstanding, but Changyi fell into the hands of Wen Hou. β
"At this time and at that time, it was Yuan Shu who didn't take Wen Hou seriously." Xu Youdao.
"Let the messenger explain his intentions directly." Jia Xu said.
Xu You has been waiting for the opportunity, the reason why he created such an atmosphere is also to get as much benefit as possible from Lu Bu's hands, the price of the Hundred Refining Blades is expensive, and Lu Bu requires that it must be exchanged for materials, how can he not see that Lu Bu is strengthening himself through the sale of the Hundred Refining Blades.
With the help of a hundred refining blades, Lu Bu was able to amass a large amount of wealth, and it can be seen from the equipment of the soldiers under Lu Bu that other princes could not have such wealth as Lu Bu.
At Lu Bu's critical moment, Yuan Shao reached out to help, and he would definitely be able to get Lu Bu's favor, and when the time came, he would pay some price and get the forging method of a hundred refining blades, how could other princes compete with Yuan Shao.
Gongsun Chan was a big threat to Yuan Shao, and he could not really threaten Yuan Shao's rule in Jizhou, especially after the victory in the battle with Gongsun Chan last year, which boosted the morale of the Jizhou army.
"The forging method of the hundred refining blades, I wonder if your Excellency can make the decision?"
Jia Xu said: "The hundred refining blades are the secrets of Xuzhou, if you want to get the forging method of the hundred refining blades, you must go through Wen Hou, as long as Jizhou Mu is willing to pay, this official believes that Wen Hou will agree." β
"This envoy wants to negotiate with Wen Hou, what do you mean?" Xu You asked with a smile.
Jia Xu nodded and agreed, Xu You's words were aggressive, and he had the posture to get more benefits from it at the moment of urgency in Xuzhou, if he faced Lu Bu with such an attitude, there would definitely be many problems.
"Jizhou Mu and Wen Hou are allies, Wen Hou's character, presumably the envoy has a certain understanding, don't offend Wen Hou because of some words." Jia Xu reminded in a low voice.
Xu Yu nodded knowingly.
Xu You and Jia Xu came, Lu Bu was quite surprised, and the matter of dealing with the envoys of the Quartet, Lu Bu handed it over to Jia Xu and Guo Jia to deal with, I believe that with the ability and means of the two, they will definitely be able to deal with it with ease, and the way Sun Ce and Liu Bei's envoys were beaten is a good illustration.
