Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The confidant got the news of Guan Yu, and he returned to Yuan Jun's camp as soon as possible, and told Liu Bei the news of Guan Yu verbatim.

"It turns out that when Yun Chang was in Cao Ying, his heart was still attached to me. With his help, Cao Cao is no longer afraid!"

After Liu Bei heard the words of that confidant, he was very happy, as if all this was under his control.

"It's just that, to defeat Cao Cao, we still have to rely on Yuan Shao's strength."

Liu Bei thought of this, and immediately went to Yuan Shao's barracks.

After seeing Yuan Shao, Liu Bei told Guan Yu's news in detail.

He said again: "General, Yun Chang has sincerely repented, and begs the general to send troops to attack Cao Cao."

"My lord, it's inappropriate to be so afraid!"

Before Yuan Shao could respond, Tian Feng, the counselor next to him, first said: "Guan Yu has already surrendered to Cao Cao, and he is our enemy. The matter of internal and external cooperation must be discussed before making a decision. I am afraid that there is a fraud in it! I think Guan Yu's admission of mistakes is just a mistake. It was done on purpose, I'm afraid that near Cao Jun's camp, traps have already been dug for us to go."

After finishing speaking, Tian Feng glanced at Liu Bei with disdain.

Tian Feng didn't believe in this criminal bully, he could even be said to look down on him from the bottom of his heart, especially when he learned that Yan Liang, Wen Chou were all killed by Guan Yu.

Therefore, Tian Feng said again: "You are so anxious to send troops, have you cooperated with the Cao thief to frame the lord?"

Hearing his words, Yuan Shao's face darkened instantly, because he also thought of this concern.

"General, Yun Chang is not what he said."

Liu Bei wished he could kick Tian Feng out, and hurriedly said: "General, Cao Cao forced Yun Chang to surrender. I can guarantee with my head that Yun Chang will never betray me."

Tian Feng retorted: "A general who has surrendered to the enemy suddenly came back and said that he can help us fight the enemy. Do you think it is trustworthy?"

"It's not unbelievable!"

At this time, Sima Yi, who also took refuge in Yuan Shao, stepped forward and said: "Everyone knows that Xuande's crime of deceiving the emperor was framed by Cao Cao, and the blood of the Han family clan cannot be erased by changing the genealogy. Yun Chang is Xuande Second brother, the reason why he is loyal to Xuande is because of the blood of the Han family, and the general ordered the emperor's secret edict to punish the Cao thief, and it is also for the sake of the big man, how could Yun Chang frame us?"

Hearing Sima Yi also speak for himself, Liu Bei was determined, nodded slightly, and said: "Zhongda is right, Yun Chang will definitely not betray us."

After watching Yuan Shao ponder for a while, he said: "You are right!"

"Lord!"

Tian Feng suddenly became anxious, and said: "Guan Yu proposed to cooperate with the outside at this time. There must be fraud in it. We can't rush to attack Cao Cao."

Liu Bei immediately retorted: "Although Cao Cao is weak, he has occupied the key point of Guandu. If he can't stand against us, I'm afraid there will be changes, and we will suffer in the end."

Sima Yi echoed: "Guandu is not too far away, and it is very convenient to allocate food and grass, and send troops to support. On the contrary, this is our weakness. If we are in a stalemate with Cao Cao, our accumulation will be completely consumed."

Hearing what he said, Yuan Shao became more and more moved, and felt that Guan Yu could kill Cao Cao as an internal response.

If it was before, when Cao Cao was short of food, he didn't care much, and he could kill Cao Cao casually.

It's different now. Yuan Shao thought that Cao Cao had cheated the grain merchants all over the world. If he continued to consume, he might still not be able to afford it.

"My lord, I think you have to think twice."

Tian Feng continued to object, but at this moment, Ju Shou, who said he was sick and no longer discussed the matter, suddenly walked in.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Ju Shou said anxiously: "Something happened to the salt formula we got from Cao Cao!"

During this period of time, although Ju Shou didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the army, he continued to deal with the affairs of Jizhou.

When he suddenly found out that something had happened to Yan, he was also startled, and soon he knew that something was wrong, so he rushed to look for Yuan Shao.

"What happened?"

Hearing that something happened to Yan, Yuan Shao stood up abruptly.

The matter of salt and iron is related to their economic lifeline, and it is also extremely important to Yuan Shao, so there is no room for loss.

Ju Shou said: "The eldest son just sent an urgent letter. The people of the four states have eaten the salt made by the new formula, and all of them have diarrhea. This has been going on for a long time, and the eldest son can't stop it. A boycott of our salt has begun, they demand to be able to buy salt from Xudu."

"Impossible, Cao Cao also used this kind of salt, how could it be that they are fine, but we are the only ones who have an accident?" Yuan Shao said.

Tian Feng said: "Master, do you think Cao Cao has seen through our scheme and deliberately gave us a fake formula?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into deep thought, and it was not impossible.

Yuan Shao clenched his hands tightly into fists, suppressing his anger from erupting.

"My lord, do you still remember the letter that General Yan Liang sent back?"

Ju Shou remembered something at this time, and a bad feeling emerged in his heart, and he said quickly: "At that time, General Yan Liang's letter also mentioned one thing, all those crossbows suddenly broke."

"It's also possible that the formula was fake at the beginning, and so is the crossbow technology. Our plan has been seen through by Cao Cao!"

After all, Jushou lowered his head in fear, the more he thought about it, the more frightening he felt, thinking about it, he was terrified!

Fortunately, they discovered it earlier. If they fought Cao Cao head-on later, they would have suffered a disastrous defeat.

"Chen Yang, this must be Chen Yang's attention, damn it!"

In Sima Yi's mind, a figure first appeared, so his voice was almost roaring.

Only Chen Yang could think of such a method.

Yuan Shao's face darkened completely, and he said coldly: "Bring the crossbow!"

After a while, a soldier came up with a repeating crossbow.

"Try it for me, I want to know if there is something wrong with the crossbow!" Yuan Shao continued to suppress his anger, but his voice became horrific because of it.

When the soldier heard this, his body trembled slightly in fear, and then another soldier brought up an archery target.

The soldier picked up the continual crossbow and fired continuously. At first the continual crossbow was fine, and Yuan Shao's gloomy face eased a little.

However, when the Liannu shot more than 30 arrows, there was a sudden "pop", and the crossbow fell apart into pieces that could not be repaired, and fell to the ground.

boom!

Seeing Yuan Shao, he angrily kicked over the table next to him, his face suddenly turned livid.

Liu Bei and Sima Yi also stared wide-eyed. At this moment, their eyes also burst into anger. They knew that they were cheated by Chen Yang again this time.

When the archery soldier saw this, he was shocked, and quickly knelt down and lowered his head, sweating all over his head, not daring to look at Yuan Shao.

"True... Really fake!"

Ju Shou said in surprise.

"Cao Cao!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth at this name, wishing he could crush Cao Cao in one bite.

Want to know how much they paid for the technology of these crossbows and the formula for making salt?

If the crossbow is destroyed, their advantage on the battlefield will also be disintegrated.

The formula for making salt is poisonous, but the greatest benefit is Cao Cao.

And what about him?

Get nothing and pay so much!

"Thief Cao deserves to die. Please, General, believe Yun Chang's words and send troops to attack. Cao Cao will die under the combination of inside and outside!"

Liu Bei said loudly.
