Chapter 535 Liu Yu's eyes darkened

In fact, as early as the middle and late July, Yuan Shao already felt very uncomfortable, and Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, sent troops into Shangdang County to perform martial arts in Huguan to intimidate Wei County.

Dong Zhuo's army was only three hundred miles away from Yecheng where Yuan Shao was. The army moved a little faster and could arrive in five or six days. Moreover, there were no dangerous terrains around to hold on to, and the main advantageous terrain was in Bingzhou.

If there is a fight, can he beat the fierce Bingzhou soldiers?
Not to mention here, Qingzhou also gathered an army in Pingyuan County. It is said that there are no less than [-] troops, and they are performing large-scale martial arts.

How did the situation suddenly become so that I dare not look directly at it?
He realized that this matter was inseparable from the conflict between him and the Zhen family, because the Zhen family rejected his threat before and warned him not to act rashly, otherwise General Liu would not let him go.

Yuan Shao will be afraid of Liu Bei?
Even if you are afraid, you are not afraid now!
So he immediately dispatched an army into Wuji County, Zhongshan State, intending to be tough on the Zhen family.

The Zhen family seemed to have the confidence to unite with several families in the Zhongshan Kingdom to mobilize all the private soldiers and family tenants, arm them, and pulled up a team of more than 2000 people to confront Yuan's army.

Yuan Shao was furious, and when he was about to send more troops to attack Wuji County, news came that Dong Zhuo had sent troops to Huguan, and not long after that, news came that Liu Yu had sent troops to Pingyuan County.

Yuan Shao, who guessed the reason for this, immediately didn't dare to threaten the Zhen family anymore, and he didn't dare to deter the other big families.

The old nest is under threat. If you continue to engage in confrontation with these families, your home will be stolen.

In this matter, apart from the Zhen family, several other families were unwilling to submit. Only the Wen family in Bohai County was willing to discuss marriage with Yuan Shao. The other six big families were unwilling to marry Yuan Shao.

Because the Wen family failed to stand the test of interests, they killed the eunuch family members and seized the eunuch's property. They were afraid of being dragged out of the list later, so they decided to follow Yuan Shao to the end.

None of the other families took action on the eunuch's property and withstood the test of their interests. Since this is the case, it is even more impossible for them to submit.

But Yuan Shao no longer has the energy to deal with the resistance of these families.

The threat posed by the armies of the three states still greatly stimulated him, and he ordered the speed of recruitment to be further accelerated. He wanted to recruit the most troops as quickly as possible to resist risks.

Then, under Tian Feng's suggestion, he had to do two things.

First, marry with the Wen family as soon as possible to obtain the resources of the Wen family and increase their strength.

Second, send someone to contact Liu Yu and engage in diplomacy.

Dong Zhuo gave up, betrayed him Yuan's traitor, he would not compromise no matter what, so he sent his generals and led 1 troops to station in Sheguo County on the bank of Zhangshui, in order to deal with it.

In addition, Yuan Shao believed that Shanwei could win over Liu Yu, who publicly recognized the orthodox Luoyang court and the new emperor.

For this reason, Yuan Shao was even willing to offer a very high price.

He sent Feng Ji as a lobbyist to persuade Liu Yu.

When Feng Ji saw Liu Yu, he didn't say anything else, and just amplified his moves.

"Today's situation in the world, Liu Bei usurped Luoyang, the eunuchs were fierce, and the world was in turmoil. People of insight are heartbroken by this. They are all willing to kill Liu Bei. They hate to eat his flesh and sleep his skin. The Luoyang court is a treacherous villain. Controlled by the eunuchs, the false emperor Liu Xie is nothing more than a puppet.

You became an official with a weak crown, and your footprints spread all over the north and south of the river. You have been an official for a long time, and your prestige is growing day by day. As for the generation of the clan of the Han Dynasty, people all over the world respect you absolutely, and you are the only one who can save the Han Dynasty today. Yes, as long as you are willing, General Yuan is willing to respect you as the emperor and rebuild the Han Dynasty! "

When Feng Ji met Liu Yu, he directly said words of persuasion that made Liu Yu's eyes darken.

He discussed with Yuan Shao for a while, intending not to be astonishing and endless. If the current situation cannot be reversed with a heavy blow, if this is the case, he will simply throw a heavy blow and offer a price that will make Liu Yu's heart beat, so as to win him over. Liu Yu was used by him.

He thinks that he has no grievances with Liu Yu in the past, and he has no vendettas in the present, and Liu Yu, as a state shepherd, is in power, so he should be ambitious, and he has the idea of ​​​​replacing the little emperor Luoyang, so persuading him will definitely break his alliance with Liu Bei .

As long as Liu Yu agrees to become emperor, it will be much easier to unite the forces of Qingzhou and Jizhou to instigate the forces of the Central Plains to resist the Luoyang court.

But Liu Yu was shocked and very angry after hearing this suggestion, and pointed at Feng Ji and reprimanded him.

"Since I became an official, I have been loyal to the imperial court and the emperor. The late emperor is here, and I am loyal to the late emperor. It is reasonable and reasonable to ascend the throne today. Although there are some disputes, it is not the main reason. Today, everyone in the world has agreed to ascend the throne today. , are you saying such things to me now, are you going to put me on the fire?!"

Looking at Liu Yu's expression, Feng Ji felt a little surprised.

"How the false emperor came to the throne, everyone in the world has their own opinions. It is obviously a scandal that the villain and the eunuch jointly committed. For this reason, Zhongliang was killed, and the orthodoxy was lost. As the head of the Han Dynasty How can you turn a blind eye and let the false emperor ascend the throne?"

"shut up!"

Liu Yu said angrily: "You treacherous villain! One mouthful of a false emperor, I think you want me to be emperor is false, he Yuan Benchu ​​wants to be emperor is true! A traitor, a villain, dare to stand in front of me Yelling! Left and right, take it with me, escort Luoyang, and hand it over to the emperor for trial!"

Feng Ji's face turned pale with fright, seeing the warriors on the left and right coming forward to capture him, he couldn't break free and was terrified.

"Why does the envoy treat me like this? Doesn't the envoy know how the puppet emperor of Luoyang came to power? If the two armies are fighting and you don't kill the envoy, are you going to break the rules of the ancients?"

"For those who follow the rules, I naturally follow the rules."

Liu Yu said in a cold voice: "Yuan Benchu ​​did a lot of rebellious things in Jizhou, and he never obeyed the rules, so for those who don't obey the rules, let him know the consequences of not obeying the rules! Send this person to Luoyang! Report What happened to the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Yu is a very traditional and conservative person, he doesn't like flexibility, and he doesn't like anything that breaks the rules. Before Liu Bei suspected that he broke the rules, he felt dissatisfied, so he didn't immediately recognize the Luoyang court.

But now, Yuan Shaoming blatantly broke the rules, and in his opinion, he was someone who made a big mistake.

And this guy actually wants to persuade him to proclaim himself emperor.

This is not to help him, but to kill him.

Liu Yu originally wanted to expel Fengji to leave, but on second thought, he was afraid that someone would leak what happened here to Luoyang and let Liu Bei know. In this way, he would not be a pure minister and would be suspected.

As a pure minister, if he is suspected by the court, not to mention his future, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

The reputation he has worked so hard for all his life must not be damaged, and he must guarantee his own reputation.

But now Yuan Shao's behavior made him feel uneasy, worried that he would be regarded as an enemy by Liu Bei and the court, so... why not simply send Feng Ji to Luoyang, clear the suspicion, and make credit.

Yuan Shao never expected that he would send out a trusted adviser to persuade Liu Yu, but in the end he sent the sheep to the tiger's mouth, and Feng Ji was caught by Liu Yu and sent to Luoyang.

After being shocked, Yuan Shao was furious, and personally led [-] troops to Qinghe State, making a gesture of attacking Pingyuan County, and wanted to ask Liu Yu for an explanation.

After Liu Yu heard the news, he led [-] Qingzhou soldiers to Pingyuan County, joined up with the previous [-] soldiers and horses, and reorganized the army to the southwest of Pingyuan County to confront Yuan Shao head-on.

During the confrontation, the two rode their horses to the front of the battle to talk to each other.

Yuan Shao asked Liu Yu why he seized his envoy and sent him to Luoyang. Didn't he understand the rules?

Liu Yu sneered, saying that there is no need to obey the rules for those who break the rules.

Yuan Shao became angry and threatened Liu Yu that he would attack him. Liu Yu laughed and told Yuan Shao to come and attack him as long as he was not afraid of death.

Yuan Shao was really anxious and wanted to attack Liu Yu's troops, but Tian Feng grabbed his sleeves tightly.

"Jizhou is currently facing enemies. Once the general fights Liu Yu here, will he be able to win quickly? If he can win quickly, it's okay. If he can't win quickly, when he learns that the general is fighting Liu Yu, Huguan Dong Zhuo's troops will definitely attack Weijun. Luoyang's army is also likely to attack Wei County through Hanoi County.

At that time, the three armies will be besieged, Jizhou will be surrounded by enemies, and it will be difficult to see each other from head to tail. The total number of troops under the general's command will not exceed [-]. How to deal with the enemy?Once Wei County is breached, can the general's hegemony continue?So I ask the general to appease his anger, increasing the strength of troops is the most important thing! "

Tian Feng's persuasion was effective. Faced with such a dangerous situation, Yuan Shao's head was rarely cleared up, and he realized that what Tian Feng said was reasonable.

Although I don't know why Liu Bei doesn't send troops to Jizhou now, but as long as he starts fighting here, there is a great possibility that Liu Bei will give up waiting and see and send troops to Jizhou immediately.

He couldn't bear it.

He must be cautious and increase his strength so as not to be taken away by Liu Bei.

So Yuan Shao did not order to attack Liu Yu after all, but led the troops to retreat slowly, and sent someone to confess to Liu Yu, telling Liu Yu that he would never invade Qingzhou, and he had no intention of rebelling, but was forced by the real rebel Liu Bei I'm helpless, please don't misunderstand Liu Yu.

Liu Yu sneered.

"Who is a rebel, the people of the world have their own opinions. Yuan Benchu ​​alone does not matter. As long as the court orders, I will definitely lead the army to take the heads of you and other thieves. Wash your necks and prepare to die!"

Liu Yu respects the rules and is unwilling to break them.

He is Qingzhou Mu, not Jizhou Mu. He cannot send troops into Jizhou territory without the order of the court, otherwise he will be suspected of rebellion.

He cherished his feathers so that he would not leave any political stains on himself, so he rejected Tai Shici and others' suggestion to follow Yuan Shao's army and look for opportunities to attack, and let them continue to station troops and perform martial arts, waiting for further instructions from the court.
