Yecheng, Sikong Mansion.

Another wave of princes' envoys left the main hall, and Changshi Guotu sent them outside the palace gate, and watched with a smile as the messengers left in a carriage, so he invited another wave of envoys into the main hall to meet with Sikong Yuan Shao.

In the evening, the last envoy of the princes left Sikong Mansion, and the two-day meeting was coming to an end.

"Princess, is the Xiliang envoy still in the post house, is there any change?"

On the steps of the main hall, Yuan Shao, who was dressed in a dark red and purple robe, took a sip of fragrant tea and cleared his throat, a touch of cunning flashed between his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice pretending to be disapproving.

Guo Tu walked lightly to the upper steps, took the freshly cooked fragrant tea from the maid's hand, replaced it with a new cup for Yuan Shao, and said with a smile on his face: "According to the report of the post house miscellaneous servant, the Xiliang envoy has been very anxious and full of complaints in the past few days, but he is helpless. Other than that, there is no change, honestly. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this, and he muttered with a smile: "Be honest, just be honest, otherwise you will blame the ruthlessness of this empty man." Li Wenchang also has today, I'm afraid he never dreamed of it. Hahaha! After that, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing, swept away the gloom in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and was domineering.

"What the lord said is very true." Guo Tu echoed with a smile, and when he caught a glimpse of Yuan Shao's eyebrows and a good mood, he laughed in a low voice: "The lord has been hanging them for three days, do you want to take the time to meet them, so that they can go back to Li Wenchang to return to their lives." ”

Yuan Shao gradually restrained his laughter, bowed slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Well, the princes and envoys of all towns have seen it, and sooner or later they still have to meet the envoy of Xiliang." But. There is no urgency in this matter, let's talk about it in a few days. ”

After a pause, Yuan Shao frowned slightly. He said in a deep voice: "Didn't the Son of Heaven eat yesterday, has his condition improved?" ”

Guo Tu frowned, carefully observed Yuan Shao's expression, shook his head lightly, and said: "The Son of Heaven has not eaten for half a month, he is drowsy all day long, and he relies on ginseng soup to maintain his life. ”

Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping a few times. He didn't speak for a long time, and he seemed very anxious. After a long while, he said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "What do the imperial doctors say?" What disease does the Son of Heaven suffer? ”

Guo Tu said: "The lord has summoned more than 20 imperial doctors to treat the Son of Heaven, but no one knows what kind of illness he is suffering from. According to Dong Hong, a chamberlain in the palace, the Son of Heaven suffered from a serious illness when he was in Chang'an, and his condition was as he is now. Weakness in the limbs and confusion. I don't eat enough, I feel drowsy all day long, and my life is in danger. For this reason, Li Li also rushed back to Chang'an from the front line of Chencang, and invited more than ten prestigious doctors from Chang'an Taixue into the palace for diagnosis and treatment, and all the doctors served in front of the dragon couch day and night, sleepless. In the end, it was the divine doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji who arrived in time, and it took five days to wake up the Son of Heaven, and then he was restored as before. ”

Yuan Shao's expression changed suddenly. He said urgently: "What do you mean by this?" Isn't there no help? With that, his face turned gloomy. His eyelids moved up and down, his expression was flustered, and his two eyebrows were furrowed together, with a worried look.

Guo Tu bowed down and stood at the bottom left of the desk, with low eyebrows and pleasing observation, Yuan Shao's face changed again and again, looking like the six gods had no master, and the gods were not guarded. Seeing this, he whispered, "The lord doesn't need to worry too much. According to the imperial doctors, the Son of Heaven will be fine for a while, as long as there is enough ginseng soup, he can continue his life, and there is no danger of life. ”

"Is that so?" Yuan Shao groaned, sighed, his expression couldn't help relaxing, and his face was as usual. Then he said with relief: "If this is the case, it will be fine." I don't have anything else in Jizhou, except for ginseng, and ginseng soup is not a problem to continue life. As he spoke, an unconcealable and unfathomable smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

Seeing that Yuan Shao's gloomy face finally eased, Guo Tu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sneer: "Since the Son of Heaven came to Yecheng, he has been restless, and has repeatedly tried to regain power, and now he is seriously ill, but it is a good thing, and he is finally alive." In fact, he is at best an ornament, a puppet; If it weren't for the fact that he was still needed to deter the princes of the towns, whether he was dead or alive had nothing to do with the overall situation, and it was insignificant. ”

Yuan Shao was not only angry when he heard this, but he frowned slightly, and chuckled: "Having said that, he can't have an accident right now." At least until I eradicate Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, he must live. With him, the princes of the towns will not dare to act rashly, let alone help Gongsun Zhan, otherwise they will be openly enemies of the entire Han family, ignoring the orthodoxy of the royal family, and what Wanfu points to will be spurned by the people of the world. If he dies suddenly, it will be a different situation, and the whole situation will be extremely unfavorable to us. ”

"The lord is thoughtful and admires him very much." Guo Tu complimented.

Yuan Shao was quite embarrassed by the land, and said with a smile: "This is all Li Thief's beauty, it is not surprising." What is the progress of the Juyi army at the moment, and can the princes of each town have any changes? The words changed sharply, Yuan Shao reined in his thoughts, and finally stopped being complacent, and refocused his mind on the war in front of him.

Guo Tu said: "This time, our army is strong, General Ju Yi led an army of 200,000 troops, Xu You is the military division, Zhang He is the vanguard general, Gao Ran is the deputy general, and the general is the commander of the rear army, and the army is marching into Youzhou. At present, the vanguard of our army has invaded Youzhou, and the battle is going smoothly, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou knows that he is invincible, and is shrinking his forces and defending the city, trying to resist the strong offensive of our army with the advantage of the city. On the whole, our army is in good shape, and the lord has no need to worry. Yuan Shao shook his head slightly when he heard this, and he was silent.

Guo Tu immediately understood and continued: "Three days ago, Cao Cao of Yanzhou sent a messenger to ask to see the lord, and he received them below, and his intention was that Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou, so he came to ask the lord. "Actually, it is to inform it, so as not to misunderstand Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao smiled dumbly and said: "After so many years, Cao Mengde still misses Xuzhou." That's fine, he can fight if he wants, as long as he doesn't get involved in the battle between us and Gongsun Zhan, he can do it at his own convenience. ”

Guo Tu happily agreed, and then said: "Xuzhou Lu Bu, Huainan Yuan Shu, Jingzhou Liu Biao and other princes have not moved, and they are as usual. However, according to the detailed report, Xiliang Li Li has recently arrived in Luoyang and held a grand banquet to celebrate the completion of the reconstruction of Luoyang City. ”

"Huh? Li thief is coming to Luoyang again? Yuan Shao's expression was shocked, and his slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened. Suspiciously, he said: "Thief Li made an extraordinary move, in less than a year before and after, Luoyang City, which had long been reduced to ruins, was actually renovated by him. I don't know if he really has the financial resources. Or is it a bluff and a deliberate show? Did Li Thief lead a large army this time? ”

Guo Tu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The soldiers and horses under the command of Li Thief have not moved, and the original deployment of troops has not moved at all. ”

Yuan Shao's expression was slightly surprised, and he sighed: "In this way, the old man really underestimated him before, and mistakenly thought that the Xiliang states had reached the point of exhaustion. I didn't expect him to have such courage to rebuild Luoyang City. It's really terrifying! ”

After sighing, Yuan Shao looked at himself. Smiled: "That's fine." is still the same sentence as before, as long as the princes of the towns do not get involved in the war in Jizhou, let him go, and do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with us. But. Since the Son of Heaven and the officials left Chang'an, Xiliang has been unusually quiet in the past two years. ”

"What the lord said is very true." Guo Tu happily agreed, and continued: "In the past, Li Thief coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he was majestic, as if the son fell into the hands of the lord today. The Li thief died down, and he was no longer qualified to be arrogant. Speaking of which. Li Thief can definitely be regarded as a smart and confused person, one wrong step is lost, and letting the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials escape from Chang'an is his biggest failure. Because of this, the Li thief is no longer in the limelight, and he will not be arrogant for long. ”

Yuan Shaomei nodded again and again with a smile, and said with a smile: "In the words of the public rule, every sentence is reasonable. Li Thief is no longer beautiful, and now it is my turn to lead Yuan Shao. But at the moment, our top priority is to get rid of the old thief of Gongsun as much as possible. My Jizhou and Youzhou have been fighting for many years, and they have always won and lost each other, and they have never been able to win Gongsun Zhan. But this time is different from the past, the right time and place and the right people all lie in me, this battle will definitely eradicate the old thief of Gongsun in one fell swoop, and never suffer in the future! ”

After a pause, Yuan Shao looked excited, high-spirited, and said loudly: "Two days later, I met with the Xiliang Mission, and then I went to the front line in person, personally killed the old thief of Gongsun, and calmed Hebei!" At this moment, Yuan Shao seemed to see the land of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou in the palm of his hand, and then swept through the Central Plains with the power of the wind and thunder, and then came to the top and became the first overlord in the world.

Catching a glimpse of Yuan Shao's eyebrows dancing, Guo Tu bowed at the right time: "The lord is wise and martial"

??

Yecheng Pavilion Station, the second courtyard of the West Cross Courtyard is the foothold of the Xiliang Mission.

It has been six days since entering Yecheng, and Huangfu Li, the head of the Xiliang Mission, has asked to see Yuan Shao many times, but he has been shirked under various excuses, so that more than 200 people from the regiment have been detained in the post house, and their entry and exit are restricted, and they are ordered not to move around at will.

At first, Huangfu Li was quite anxious, after all, this was the first time he accepted the task independently, if he couldn't complete the mission smoothly, he was afraid that he would have to sit on the cold bench in the future, and the lord Li Li would not reuse him.

With the death of his father Huangfu Song, his brother Huangfu Jianshou also died young, which made the original Huangfu family no longer prosperous and declining. Now, the Huangfu family is left with the only seedling of Huangfu Li, and the fate of the entire family is pinned on him alone. Fortunately, for more than a year, Li Li treated him very well, and he was the general's mansion at the beginning of his career, and now he is engaged in joining the army, and this time he was ordered to send an envoy to Jizhou to meet the Son of Heaven.

But after entering Yecheng, after six days, the tribute money brought by Huangfu Li was accepted by the officials of Sikong Mansion, but he never arranged for him to meet the Son of Heaven, forcing him to retreat and ask to see Sikong Yuan Shao first. However, Yuan Shao repeatedly prevaricated, which made Huangfu Li have mixed feelings, worried that he would not be able to complete the mission delivered by the lord Li Li and would have high hopes for Li Li. However, last night, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, and then he received an order to wait patiently, whether Yuan Shao received it or not, and led the mission to leave Jizhou in five days.

This order made Huangfu Li bittersweet, and vaguely guessed the real intention of the lord Li Li to send him to Jizhou: the audience with the Son of Heaven was just a pretense, but in fact there were other plans. Because of the familiar figure he saw, Huo Ran was Li Zhi and Li Zicheng, the commanders of Jin Yiwei, who had been with the lord Li Li all the year round.
