The internal troubles have been dealt with, and the two counties occupied by Cao Cao were also easily captured by Guan Yu with his troops.

The entire territory of Xuzhou has so far fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, allowing him to squeeze into the sequence of princes.

When the news of Xuzhou reached the ears of the princes, they were all shocked, some were angry, some were friendly, and some were indifferent.

And the most angry are Cao Cao and Er Yuan.

tried his best, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Liu Bei, and his anger was thunderous.

So Yuan Shu, one of the three, was furious, and summoned his subordinates to prepare to conquer Liu Bei.

Runan County Zhiping Yucheng was already the base camp of Yuan Shu at this time.

And Runan is the foundation of the Yuan family, where Yuan Shu occupies the time, place, and people, but the people have been destroyed by him himself.

The indulgent soldiers plundered the people, causing complaints from all over the country, and the people who could not survive fled one after another, or went into the mountains and forests to become a coward, which made the population of Yuzhou drop sharply for a while.

Seeing this, some of the strategists under Yuan Shu's command gave him advice, but what they got was a sentence. "It's just a pariah, what's all the fuss."

Seeing that Yuan Shu did not pay attention to the people so much, some talented people who saw the situation clearly resigned and retired to the mountains and forests, waiting for the appearance of the Ming Lord.

Returning to the Taishou Mansion, Yuan Shu looked at the martial arts under his command, and said indignantly: "Then Liu Bei is just a mat weaver and a shoe seller, how can he sit in Xuzhou, it's really angry with me!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu's atmosphere was however, Changshi Yang Hong came out and admonished: "The lord is not angry, at this time, Xuzhou Zhengan is alternate, it is a good time to seize it, why don't the lord send troops to Xuzhou and take it in one fell swoop." ”

"Okay, this is exactly what I want, I don't know who is willing to lead the troops to battle" Yuan Shu already had the intention of conquest, and when he saw someone starting, he hurriedly looked at the military generals on the side.

As soon as Yuan Shu's words fell, the generals present stood up one after another, and replied in unison: "The general is not willing to lead the troops to crusade against Liu Bei!" ”

"Hahaha!" Years of comfortable life have made Yuan Shu fat, and at this time, laughing wildly, the meat of the whole body is squeezed into a lump.

Putting away his smile, Yuan Shu said: "Okay, then let Ji Ling be the commander, Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin will be the vanguard, and Chen Ji, Lei Bo, and others will be the auxiliary, lead the army of 100,000 and take Xuzhou." ”

"Yes, I didn't obey!" The generals who were named hurriedly received their orders.

Seeing that it was rare for his subordinates to be so unanimous, Yuan Shu was full of confidence and high spirits, and set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone who was about to go on the expedition.

Halfway through the feast, a soldier suddenly hurried over, interrupting the lively atmosphere. "Report! General Sun killed Zhang Wen and had already gone down to Jiujiang County, and had led the army to return triumphantly at this time. ”

"Oh!" This Sun Ce is really not simple, with only 20,000 horses, he took a county in Yangzhou, and also killed Yangzhou Mu Zhang Wen, it seems that Yangzhou is going to fall into my hands.

"Hahaha! God help me, invite him in. "I was preparing to attack Xuzhou, but I didn't expect good news to come, which made Yuan Shu even more excited, and a invincible spirit in the world exuded.

Soon after the soldiers left, a young general walked briskly in a military uniform, his armor covered with dark red bloodstains, apparently having just left the battlefield and had not yet been replaced.

The young general's eyes were slightly tired, but he couldn't hide his sharp eyes, and came to Yuan Shu ten meters away, knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Captain Sun Ce has seen Yuan Zhoumu!"

"Hahaha, get up, get up." Yuan Shu was in a good mood, and after Sun Ce got up, he said casually: "Bo Fu has worked hard, come in and sit down and drink a few cups." ”

"Master Xie Zhou." Sun Ce got up and wanted to go to the ranks of the generals on the left.

After making such a great achievement, Sun Ce was not proud and complacent, and did not walk to the front row, but came to the middle part, and chose an empty seat and wanted to sit down.

At this moment, Chen Feng on the side said coldly: "This is among the generals, a small lieutenant, who has made some merits, but he has no respect for the law. ”

"It's ......"

"Like his father......"

The cynicism in his ears exposed the green tendons on Sun Ce's arms, and he involuntarily held the sword at his waist, but then he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Holding back his anger, Sun Ce's half-squatting body straightened up, strode towards the end of the banquet, sat down at an empty table, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Yuan Shu looked at it and didn't say anything, anyway, Sun Ce had no soldiers or horses, and he couldn't afford to make any waves, so he should be beaten and beaten, so as not to be arrogant.

"Come on, come on, everyone toast Bo Fu to celebrate his triumphant return." Yuan Shu smiled and raised his glass to Sun Ceyao, as if nothing had happened just now.

Sun Ce's anger in his heart was already soaring at this time, but in order to rise in the future, he still couldn't bear it, raised his glass and drank it all away, without saying a word the whole time.

"Okay, Bo Fu has a good amount of wine, if I have children and grandchildren, why worry about the injustice of the world." Looking at the bold Sun Ce, Yuan Shu laughed and praised.

Seeing that Yuan Shu valued Sun Ce so much, Lord Bo Yanxiang had an idea in his heart, if the lord accepted him as a righteous son, wouldn't he be able to get a tiger general.

After making up his mind, Yan Xiang opened his mouth and said: "Since the lord values Bo Fu so much, why don't you accept him as a righteous son, if you don't do it, you can also achieve a good story that will be passed down for hundreds of generations." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shu nodded slowly, this method is really good, you can subdue Sun Ce's heart, and you can also show your benevolence.

But before Yuan Shu could speak, Chen Lan on the side said in a strange manner: "Yes, the lord is very gracious, Sun Ce shouldn't hurry up and thank you." ”

"Yes, it's ......"

"Why is Sun Ce still sitting......

The words in his ear made Sun Ce, who was strong in blood, feel as if he had been humiliated, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and kicked over the wine table violently.

"I fought day after day, and I was very tired, so I didn't stay here longer!" After Sun Ce finished speaking, he strode away with a sword in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone at the banquet talked about Sun Ce's lawlessness and rebellion, and demanded that Yuan Shu remove him from military power.

Seeing that Sun Ce was so unreasonable, Yuan Shu was also annoyed in his heart, thinking that when he led the remnants of the army to vote, he ignored everyone's opposition and took him in, but he didn't expect to be so disrespectful to himself now.

It was a good intention, and if I wanted to deepen the relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, it would be self-defeating.

Yan Xiang, who was guilty in his heart, saw that Yuan Shu was about to agree to everyone's request, so he hurriedly came out and persuaded him: "Lord, that Sun Ce has just made a great contribution, and he must not be given military power, otherwise who will dare to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future." ”

"Oh, then according to your wishes, wouldn't you want to reward Sun Ce" Yuan Shu was expressionless, and slowly put down after drinking a cup and said.

Yan Xiang nodded and replied: "The lord is right, at this time, he should not be punished, but should be rewarded heavily, and the three armies have been ordered, which has encouraged the army that is about to go on the expedition." ”

Yuan Shu said with a hint of ridicule on his face: "Although Sun Ce has made great contributions, he despises Yu I in the hall, and he will not be punished or rewarded with benevolence and righteousness." ”

Seeing that Yan Xiang still wanted to speak, Yuan Shu directly ignored the toast and said: "The wine banquet is a place of celebration, so don't talk about the things that spoil the fun, come and come, drink." ”

Seeing this, Yan Xiang knew that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, so he could only sigh on the side.
