Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 422
Seeing that several counselors under his command suggested retreating to Qingzhou and abandoning Jizhou, Yuan Shao sighed and said:
"Okay, then we will shrink our troops and prepare to return to Qingzhou!"

How could he actually stay and fight with Xiao Yun?Now that he knew Xiao Yun's terrifying cultivation level, Yuan Shao was still in fear every day, deeply afraid that Xiao Yun would kill him.

After all, he was the mastermind who ambushed Wanwan and Shi Qingxuan outside Luoyang City, and the Snow Mountain Sect, Youming Sect, and Confucianism were all his helpers, but he never expected that Xiao Yun would not die in the formation of the Twelve Xuanshas .

Now that the Nether Sect and the Snow Mountain Sect have been wiped out, Yuan Shao is naturally extremely frightened, how dare he stay in Jizhou to face Xiao Yun directly!What I said before was just for pretend!

"My lord Shengming!"

Shenpei and Fengji hurriedly bowed happily.

However, at this moment, a personal guard hurried in and saluted Yuan Shao:

"General, someone asked to see him, saying that he is an envoy sent by Cao Cao."

"Oh, Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou now, and he sent an envoy here, what does he want to do?" Yuan Shao frowned.

Cao Cao couldn't help this time, so he was easily defeated by Xiao Yun, and retreated back to Yanzhou. How could Yuan Shao not be angry if he couldn't help him?
"My lord, why don't you meet Cao Cao's envoy? Our current situation is extremely pessimistic. Jizhou is about to fall. Let's see what Cao Cao wants to say?" the judge quickly persuaded Yuan Shao.

"Alright, then please invite the other party in!" Yuan Shao thought for a while, then ordered to the guard.

"promise!"

The personal guard bowed and saluted, and took the order to leave.

Soon, a middle-aged scholar in gray linen was brought to Yuan Shao.

"My servant, Liu Ye, has met General Zuo." Liu Ye saluted Yuan Shao.

"Why did Cao Cao send you here?"

Now that Liu Ye's reputation is not obvious, Yuan Shao naturally has never heard of it, and asked calmly as an ordinary scribe under Cao Cao's command.

"Back to General Zuo, my lord guessed that the general would retreat to Qingzhou and stick to it, but now that Xiao Yun is so powerful, whether it is General Zuo or my lord, it is difficult for a single family to compete!"

Liu Ye paused at this point, he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely lose his composure.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Ye's words of destroying his prestige and boosting others' ambition, Yuan Shao felt slightly angry, stared at Liu Ye sharply and said:
"Why, seeing that I lost Jizhou, Cao Mengde felt relieved!"

"General Zuo misunderstood, how can my lord be such a person! My lord wants to form an alliance with General Zuo to fight against Xiao Yun together." Liu Ye hurriedly cupped his hands to Yuan Shao.

"Now that Jizhou is not guaranteed, how can he form an alliance with me? Hmph, if you hadn't been defeated suddenly, I wouldn't have been caught off guard by Xiao Yun!" Yuan Shao said coldly with a cold face.

"General Zuo, calm down! My lord didn't expect that Xiao Yun was not dead, and that's why they used their schemes to attack Juncheng and suffered heavy losses!" Liu Ye arched his body and looked at Yuan Shao, and then said:
"As long as General Zuo is willing to form an alliance, the two of us can join forces to resist Xiao Yun's invasion, and we can also unite with other princes to destroy Xiao Yun with everyone's strength!"

"Oh, Cao Mengde would be so kind!" Yuan Shao stared at Liu Ye suspiciously.

"My lord, I think it's true. Think about it, Cao Mengde has also suffered heavy losses. If Xiao Yun directly sends troops to Yanzhou after taking Jizhou, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to resist it, so forming an alliance with the lord is the best way!" Pei came to Yuan Shao's ear and whispered.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, looked at Liu Ye and said, "Okay, I agree to the alliance!"

"Thank you General Zuo!"

Liu Ye saluted Yuan Shao and thanked him, then he seemed to think of something again, and said to Yuan Shao seriously:
"General Zuo, my lord has another request, I hope General Zuo can agree!"

"What request?" Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning.

"My lord has been honored by the holy family, and his heart is attached to the great man. He wants to welcome back the emperor and all the officials, and also hopes that General Zuo will be fulfilled!" Liu Ye saluted.

"No! The Son of Heaven and the officials must not be handed over to Cao Cao!" Tian Feng said directly when he heard this.

Tian Feng's sudden stop made Yuan Shao look slightly annoyed, and the judge and Feng Ji who were on the side were secretly happy, knowing that Tian Feng was going to be in trouble!
This Tian Feng is very talented, but he is too upright in his actions, has no winks, and often contradicts Yuan Shao.

Just like now, before Yuan Shao opened his mouth, he spoke first, which would definitely make Yuan Shao feel uncomfortable!

"We'll discuss this matter later!" Yuan Shao said with a frown.

Although he was extremely angry with Tian Feng, he also knew that the Son of Heaven could not be easily handed over to Cao Cao, so he planned to suppress the matter first.

"General Zuo, my lord knows that you like some rare treasures, and he happens to have a few of them in his hand. I brought pictures of three rare treasures this time, and I hope General Zuo can take a look at them!"

Liu Ye smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Yuan Shao would not agree so easily, and took out three scrolls from his arms and handed them to Yuan Shao.

Hearing Liu Ye's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help being interested, so he took the three scrolls that Liu Ye handed over, and after opening them, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed:

"Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls! Jade Clothes with Golden Threads, the First Emperor's Dragon Driving!"

These three treasures are rare treasures, which only exist in the records of some ancient books. Yuan Shao did not expect that these three treasures were actually in the hands of Cao Cao.

How did he know that Cao Cao had secretly formed the Captain Mojin who specialized in robbing tombs, and these three rare treasures were obtained from the tombs of his predecessors.

"These three rare treasures are really in the hands of Cao Mengde?" Yuan Shao stared at Liu Ye excitedly and asked.

"Don't dare to deceive General Zuo, these three treasures are indeed in the hands of the lord, and these three scrolls are painted against the real objects." Liu Ye bowed his hands solemnly to Yuan Shao.

"Okay, I agree. When these three rare treasures arrive, you can take them away with the emperor and all the officials!" Yuan Shao was in a good mood and waved his hand to Liu Ye.

"My lord, don't do it!" Tian Feng's expression changed, and he quickly persuaded Yuan Shao again.

"Yuan Hao, don't say any more, I've made up my mind!" Yuan Shao said to Tian Feng in a deep voice with displeasure in his heart.

He really didn't care much about the emperor, how could Yuan Shao not think of such a thing as coercing the emperor to make the princes!It's just that, as the heir of the Yuan family, he has a prominent status and has always been arrogant. He doesn't pay attention to the emperor at all. How could he agree to let the emperor ride on his head!

The Yuan family has been in the third position for a long time in the past dynasties, with power over the world. It is the largest noble family in the Han Dynasty. It has important political resources, and thus formed the political power of "the fourth generation of the Yuan family Shu En, with sophisticated officials all over the world". .

Yuan Shao has the support of nobles and heroes, and there is no need to "hold the emperor" in exchange for resources.

Yuan Shao had long had the idea of ​​"replacing the Han and becoming self-reliant", and never cared about the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and did not want to "serve the emperor" at all.

Moreover, Yuan Shaofan was polite, lenient outside and taboo inside, and he was powerful among the princes of the world, and he didn't want to set up puppets, and even split his subordinates into a faction that supported the Han, so he was even less willing to "hold the emperor".

Yuan Shao is more happy to see the emperor covered in dust, which is more in line with his original intention of "the Han loses its deer, and the first to win the king".

Now that Cao Cao wants the Son of Heaven, he naturally knows that Cao Cao wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to command the princes, but now that Xiao Yun is powerful, as long as Cao Cao can rise up and help resist Xiao Yun, it doesn't matter if the Son of Heaven and all the officials are handed over to Cao Cao, and He also likes those three rare treasures very much!
