When Fu finished reading the holy decree, Yuan Shu neither received the decree nor thanked him, and sat there quietly, still motionless.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang hurriedly walked to Fu Wan's side, took the holy decree from Fu Wan's hand, and said with a pleasant face: "There are angels from afar, and my lord is sick because he is sick, so he can't welcome him from afar. ”

After Fu Pi, he smiled and said, "Since the holy decree has been read, the task of this envoy is also completed." However, this envoy came this time, in addition to conveying the holy decree, he also brought a handwritten edict from Bixia to recruit a person named Zhou Yu under General Yuan's account to go to Pengcheng to serve as a servant. ”

After speaking, he took out the oracle and handed it directly to Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang took the command and wanted to stay in Shouchun to rest, but he was rejected by Fu Wan, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment, only thinking that the sooner he left here, the better.

After leaving, Yan Xiang came back to the hall and said to Yuan Shu: "No matter how reluctant the lord is, he shouldn't have behaved like this just now. After Fu Wan is the father-in-law of today's son, today's lord treats him like this, after he goes back, he will inevitably slander the lord in front of the Son of Heaven, the lord ......"

Yuan Shu said: "Hmph! A milky boy who has not dried up, what am I afraid of him doing? I am in Huainan, there are many generals, I will replace that kid sooner or later, why should I grovel in front of him? ”

Yan Xiang shook his head and said worriedly: "My lord, my subordinates know that my lord has the heart to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but the time is not ripe now, although our army has a large number of generals, most of them are newly recruited soldiers and do not practice tactics. Untrained. At best, it's a rabble. Again. Our army is short of food and grass, the treasury is empty, and the lord continues to expand his army on a large scale, so I am afraid that problems will soon arise......"

Yuan Shu interrupted Yan Xiang's words and said confidently: "The problems you said are not problems at all, I have already sent someone to Licheng to inform Sun Ce." Let him lead the army to attack Lujiang, as long as Lujiang is captured, the problem of money and food of our army can be solved, and the scope of Shili will be greatly increased, as long as it takes time, our army can level Liu Xuan in the south, attack Zhang Yan in the east, enter the Central Plains in the north, and plunder Jingzhou in the west, at that time. It's just a small place in Pengcheng, and there is no need to worry about it at all! ”

Yan Xiang listened. Just sighed lightly. In his opinion, Yuan Shu was too idealistic. He arched his hand and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that Bixia canonized the lord as a chariot general, and the lord can temporarily agree first, not only that, but also send an envoy to Pengcheng to meet Bixia, and send a gift to Zhang Yan, and temporarily reconcile with him, so as to gain more time to develop his strength......"

Without waiting for Yan Xiang to finish speaking, Yuan Shu said coldly: "I don't share the sky with Zhang Yan, and it is a dream to ask me to reconcile with him." A mere general wants to send me away? He Zhang Yan is a general, but let my official position be under him? Angered me, directly sent troops to attack Pengcheng, anyway, Pengcheng is only a few hundred miles away from here, and it can be reached within three days, not to mention Zhang Yan at that time, even the Son of Heaven will be killed, I will be the emperor! ”

Yan Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "The lord must not be so hasty, in the past, our army attacked Xuzhou, Zhang Yan was still able to repel our army, and now Zhang Yan is no longer what it used to be, although Pengcheng is not far from here, but how can Zhang Yan not do any defense?" Since the lord is bent on becoming self-reliant on behalf of the Han, it is better to concentrate on development, and when the time is ripe, he can change the dynasty. In addition, in Bixia's edict, a person named Zhou Yu was recruited to serve as a servant in the court, and this Zhou Yu's subordinate also heard of it, it is said that Sun Ceyi married Jin Lan's brother, and when Sun Ce led the army to cross the river to conquer Liu Xuan, it was all up to Zhou Yu's advice, otherwise, this person was resourceful, handsome and chic, and knew the art of war, and was a rare talent. If the lord can transfer Zhou Yu to his side to listen to it, he will definitely be able to become the lord's right-hand man and help the lord achieve a king's career! ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "How is Mr. Zhou Yubi?" ”

"Zhou Yu's talent is ten times that of me, he is like the bright moon, and his subordinates are just a star." Yan Xiang said analogly.

Yuan Shuhaha smiled: "Sir, is it too humble? Whether Zhou Yu has the kind of talent that Mr. said he said, you will know if you try it. It just so happened that I was going to send Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, so I would like to let Zhou Yu go with Sun Ce and make him a military advisor, I want to see how capable this person named Zhou Yu is, and whether it is really as Mr. said. Go and herald! ”

"Whoa!"

Yan Xiang answered, and then asked, "Lord, what about sending an envoy to Pengcheng to meet Bixia......

"Mr. is dedicated to my good, I don't know, I will send someone to Pengcheng, meet Bixia on the one hand, and reconcile with Zhang Yanyan on the other."

"The lord is wise!"

After Yan Xiang left, he went to draft an official document, asked Sun Ce to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Lujiang, and let Zhou Yu serve as the vanguard. Yuan Shu sent Yuan Jian as an envoy, carrying a thousand gold, escorted by Lei Bo and Chen Lan, to Pengcheng, to meet the Son of Heaven, and thank Bixia for his reward. At the same time, I also want to get back together with Zhang Yan.

Sun Ce has been in a sullen state since the defeat of Jiangdong and returned to Licheng, and he has ambition to win hegemony, but he has failed, but after returning to Licheng, he was ridiculed by Yuan Shu's subordinates.

At the same time, Sun Ce also hated Zhang Yan, originally he went to seize Jiangdong, and the situation was very good, but how could Zhang Yan send troops to support, but instead joined up with Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and other bandits, and attacked with Liu Xuan's army, which made him suffer from the enemy on his back and gradually lost his foundation in Jiangdong.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan's appearance, perhaps Sun Ce would have defeated Liu Xuan and had the capital to seize Jiangdong.

It's too late to say anything now, Sun Ce is defeated, and he loses face, not only did he lose the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu, but he couldn't even get back the jade seal of the country.

Fortunately, his old department has returned to his side, otherwise, he would really die of depression.

As the saying goes, staying in Qingshan is not worrying about running out of firewood, and now Sun Ce has no choice but to continue to stay in Licheng, waiting for a good opportunity.

On this day, Sun Ce was learning martial arts with the generals in the school field, and suddenly his uncle Wu Jing came over with a happy face, and when he saw Sun Ce, he shouted loudly: "Bo Fu! ”

Seeing Wu Jing's happy face, Sun Ce walked lightly, and held a copy of the document in his hand, so he stopped for a while and stepped forward to ask, "Uncle, what is the matter with calling me?" ”

"Bo Fu, your chance has come. Look what this is! Wu Jing handed the text to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce took the text, opened it, took a closer look, frowned, and asked, "Yuan Shu asked me to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Lujiang, and promised that after the matter is completed, let me be the Taishou of Lujiang?" Uncle, is this true? ”

"This is Yuan Shu's henchman sent here, and it was written by Yan Xiang himself, so I can't make a mistake. Not only that, but let Zhou Yu serve as your military advisor and go with you. Bo Fu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, although we have a crushing defeat in Jiangdong, but after capturing Lujiang, you can serve as the Taishou of Lujiang, although you failed to break away from Yuan Shu, but you can disobey the yang and yin, secretly recruit soldiers and horses, over time, with your bravery, and then cross the river, to fight for Jiangdong, you will definitely be able to succeed! Wu Jingdao.

Sun Ce Haha smiled: "Okay, haode very!" I must seize this good opportunity and strive to capture Lujiang in the shortest possible time! ”

So, Sun Ce ordered the old department, and sent his henchmen to Shucheng to inform Zhou Yu and ask Zhou Yu to help him find a way, and he himself took the old department to Juchao, and took Yuan Shu's inscription to take over the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Juchao, preparing to attack Lujiang.

……

At the same time, Dong Cheng crossed the Yellow River with the holy decree and arrived at Yecheng.

Yuan Shao heard that Dong Cheng had arrived with a holy decree, and warmly received Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng also read out to Yuan Shao the holy decree to canonize him as a hussar general, and gave Yuan Shao an edict to recruit Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Ju Pei, Xiao Ji, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping into the court as a servant.

Yuan Shao took the holy decree and behaved very deferentially, first asked Dong Cheng to arrange Dong Cheng in the post house, and then took several handwritten edicts, summoned Cao Cao, and discussed countermeasures with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao came to the hall, Yuan Shao showed Cao Cao the holy decree and the edict brought by Dong Cheng, and after Cao Cao saw it, Haha smiled and said: "Brother Ben, this is a small trick played by Zhang Yan, Brother Ben must not be fooled!" ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "I don't know, it's just that these are the edicts of the Son of Heaven, if I openly disobey, I'm afraid that I will fall into the mouth." If Zhang Yan has been taken to Pengcheng today, it can also be said that Zhang Yan holds the power of the entire imperial court, and he did this just to put me in a dilemma. Mengde, you say, what should I do? ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "The current world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and the order of the Son of Heaven must not be disobeyed." However, the first brother can ask someone to write a letter and ask Dong Cheng to bring it back, saying that he will not stop it, and the person he recruits will also send someone to escort him to Pengcheng as soon as possible......"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly said, "Meng De! You know that this is Zhang Yan's trick, but you still ......"

"Brother Benchu is calm and listen to what I have to say. The first brother's memorabilia was written like this, and after a month, let Tian Feng and Fu Zhi each write a memo, send someone to Pengcheng, and refuse to be recruited for various reasons. In this way, Zhang Yan's methods are not to be worried. Cao Cao said.

"Meng Degao see!"

So, according to Cao Cao's intentions, Yuan Shao asked Chen Lin, the chief bookkeeper, to write a letter on his behalf, and then invited Dong Cheng to a banquet, and the next day, he handed over the fold to Dong Cheng, and asked Dong Cheng to return to Pengcheng with the fold to resume his life.

At the same time, many scouts who had left Pengcheng had arrived at their destinations, and after some inquiry, they personally handed over the holy decree of the Son of Heaven to the hands of celebrities.

Some celebrities just want to escape from the world and are unwilling to go out, so they write a letter to thank the Son of Heaven for his kindness and politely refuse. As soon as some celebrities received the holy decree, they were overjoyed and resolutely decided to go to Pengcheng and return with the scouts. (To be continued......)
