The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 204 The Arrival of Liu Bei
"Mr. Yuan, I have some good news for you. Not long ago, your elder brother Yuan Tan was also captured by our army. Now Mr. Yuan should not worry about making Yuan Benchu ​​think that you are not capable enough because of this."

There was a hint of irony in Wei Tao's words, but hearing it in Yuan Shang's ears really lifted Yuan Shang's spirit and made him a little more energetic.

Regarding his own capture, Yuan Shang actually has no fear, because his father is Yuan Shao, one of the strongest princes in the world, he believes that even Wei Tao cannot directly kill him.

But at the same time, Yuan Shang still has one thing to be afraid of, that is, he is afraid that Yuan Tan will make a great contribution this time.

At that time, even if Yuan Shao loves Yuan Shang again, he may have to consider whether to make Yuan Shang his successor.

Fortunately, Yuan Tan was also captured, so now the two of them are in the same boat. This situation made Yuan Shang feel relieved, and even showed a gleam of joy on his face.

Seeing Yuan Shang like this, Wei Tao naturally felt quite disdainful.

To be honest, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang might not be able to compare with Yuan Xi. Although Yuan Xi hated to take his wife because of Wei Tao, he wished to fight Wei Tao to the death.

But at least in most cases, they are quite restrained, and they don't act rashly, and they don't have any thoughts of expecting bad luck for others.

"Hehe... Mr. Yuan, I heard that Mr. Yuan is competing with Mr. Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan occupies the position of the eldest son and suppresses Mr. Yuan. If I can help Mr. Yuan, how will Mr. Yuan repay him?"

At this time, Wei Tao suddenly smiled and said.

"Are you willing to get rid of Yuan Tan for me? If so, as long as I can agree, I will definitely agree!"

Yuan Shang also made a deal with Wei Tao before, and now when he heard it, his eyes lit up and he said it.

"Hehe... Mr. Yuan should know that this is impossible. Now I don't want to start a big war with Yuan Benchu. To be honest, I have sent someone to send a letter to Mr. Benchu, asking him to be the prefect of the four counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian and Bohai. In exchange. Now that Yuan Benchu ​​is fighting Cao Cao, if there is no more troops, he will agree."

Wei Tao shook his head, this Yuan Weiwei was naive, even if he was not afraid of going to war with Yuan Shao, he did not take the risk of offending Yuan Shao to death for Yuan Shang.

"However, Mr. Yuan also knows that the dragons in Jizhou have no leader now. Whether it is Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan, whoever returns to Yuan Jun first can immediately grasp the strength of Yuan Jun. In order to protect my sincerity, I can let one of the sons go back first. In the army, I wonder if Mr. Yuan Shang has any ideas?"

Although a little disappointed, Yuan Shang's eyes still brightened slightly after hearing Wei Tao's words.

In order to fight with Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan left many of his soldiers in Jizhou. If he could use this to annex Yuan Tan's strength, it would indeed be of great benefit to Yuan Shang.

"I don't know what General Wei wants to do? If I can do it, I will do it!"

So Yuan Shang was quite concerned at this time, he got up directly, and asked Wei Tao with his hands clasped.

"This matter is not difficult for Mr. Yuan, and I will not spread this matter."

Wei Tao smiled slightly. Having said so much before, Wei Tao's ultimate goal is still for this one.

"The ambition of my life, Wei Tao, is to expel the aliens, to protect the people of our Han, the rivers and mountains, and the common people from being invaded by the aliens. Now Wuhuan is invading our Han Youzhou. Some people are secretly funding it. If Mr. Yuan can do this People speak out one by one, let me punish them, so what if I help Mr. Yuan?"

Naturally, it is impossible for Yuan Shang to do such a matter of subsidizing foreign races himself, but Yuan Shang can still understand who is in charge of it.

It's just that after Yuan Shang was silent for a while, he only talked about the specific ship personnel who were in charge of this matter, but he didn't say which counselor under Yuan Shao's command did it.

Wei Tao didn't care too much about this, as his purpose was not like this in the first place.

Even though this could continue to tarnish Yuan Shao's reputation, it was nothing to Yuan Shao who now possessed great strength, so Wei Tao never said anything.

It's just that this time Wei Tao wanted to get the specific execution personnel for another major event, so he made such a deal with Yuan Shang.

Of course, no matter what era Fei Changli was in, it was an extremely important matter. Letting Yuan Shang master more strength also exacerbated the hidden dangers in Yuan Jun.

Soon Yuan Jun received the news.

But there is also something that surprised Wei Tao.

Originally, Wei Tao thought that the people who came would be Guo Tu and Xin Ping, even Feng Ji and Tian Feng would not be so surprised, but the person who came was Liu Bei.

It was Liu Bei who had joined Yuan Shao not long ago, and more prepared to say that he had just been under Yuan Tan's command.

Surprise is surprise, since Liu Bei came as Yuan Shao's envoy, Wei Tao naturally led people out to meet him.

I have to say that Liu Bei looked the same at this time, but he dared to come to Bingzhou Daying alone just with Guan and Zhang, which also shows that Liu Bei is extraordinary.

"I've seen Brother Xuande, I've been away for so many years, I never thought I'd see him again now."

Compared with Liu Bei, Wei Tao is much younger in age, but now Wei Tao's status is much higher than that of Liu Bei. Even if he speaks like this, Liu Bei cannot be dissatisfied.

Only Guan Zhang and Zhang, the anger flashed across their faces, Liu Bei didn't care, it didn't mean they didn't care either.

"General Wei is powerful all over the world, how can Bei be able to do it? Now that Bei Qian came, the general must know his purpose. I wonder if the general ordered the release of the two Yuan Gongzis?"

Although Liu Bei had a smile on his face, he cut to the point when he opened his mouth, and said with a slight smile, which made Wei Tao slightly taken aback for a moment.

But then Wei Tao recovered, and he really deserved to be Liu Bei.

"Xuande's words are different. The two Mr. Yuan are assassinating as guests now. How can there be any reason to release them or not?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and casually revealed the matter. How could Wei Tao let people go so easily before getting real benefits.

"I don't know that Xuande is here this time, but he wants to announce the appointment of Chang Shan and other eunuchs for the envoy?"

Since Liu Bei was so straightforward that Wei Tao couldn't answer, Wei Tao naturally turned against the general and asked directly.

Seeing Wei Tao like this, Liu Bei just nodded with a wry smile, not feeling uncomfortable, and then announced the appointments one by one, all the generals under Wei Tao's command were appointed as the prefects of the counties.

However, the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian are still easy to say. After all, these three counties are now in the hands of Wei Tao, but Bohai County is not.

In fact, even if Yuan Shang was defeated, Bohai County would not go down in one day. If he wanted to conquer Bohai County, Wei Tao would have to spend a lot of money.

This is why Wei Tao hopes to directly exchange Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan for Bohai County.

"Ben Chugong's sincerity has been seen, but when will the general's sincerity be seen?"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wei Tao invited Yuan Shang out after hesitantly.

These days may be due to the news that Yuan Tan was also captured by Wei Tao, so Yuan Shang has always been in a good mood, and Wei Tao treated him well.

So Yuan Shang's state at this time is not bad.

Even Yuan Shang was secretly pleasantly surprised when he thought of Wei Tao's promise.

"As for Yuan Xiansi, there are still some things to discuss with him. At some point, he will naturally return."

Wei Tao smiled slightly. Naturally, this is the time when all Bohai County will be brought into Wei Tao's hands.

But upon hearing this, Liu Bei's complexion changed slightly.

Although Liu Bei voted under Yuan Shao's command, he was under Yuan Tan's control before, and this time he will come, and he will come only after being recommended by Guo Tu and other people who support Yuan Tan.

The reason why Yuan Shao handed over the heavy responsibility to Liu Bei was also because Liu Bei had recently joined him and was not considered a member of any party.

But if this is the case now, then Liu Bei will not be welcomed by Guo Tu and Yuan Tan's faction, and at the same time it will arouse Yuan Shao's suspicion. Liu Bei's life may be difficult.

But at this time, can Liu Bei refuse?

It is impossible to directly say that Yuan Tan should return first. Wouldn't that offend Yuan Shang to death?

Liu Bei's hesitation was naturally discovered by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were most familiar with him. Zhang Fei was reckless and couldn't figure it out for a while, but Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's scruples.

After thinking for a while, Guan Yu suddenly took a step forward and bowed to Wei Tao.

"I have heard about the general's name for a long time. When I saw the general in the past, I saw that the general's martial arts skills are extraordinary. I heard that the general's martial arts skills are superb now. A certain Yunchang dared to ask the general for advice. If the general wins, I will naturally be convinced. If the general loses, the general will still be the general." Focus on practicing martial arts."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, Guan Yu's words were easy to understand, but they were also very attractive to Wei Tao.

Guan Yu is now one of the most powerful generals in the world. Even Dian Wei and Zhao Yun dare not say that he is sure to win. For such a top general, Wei Tao also has some intentions to compete with him.

"Yun Chang! Don't be rude!"

At this moment, Liu Bei shouted, and then bowed his hands towards Wei Tao.

"General Qi, Yun Chang is a man of martial arts. He wants to fight with real brave generals the most. The general has a lot of them, so he probably won't care."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wei Tao couldn't help feeling amused. Although Liu Bei's words seemed to dissuade, they were actually provoking Wei Tao.

But it has to be said that with this aggressive general, Wei Tao also became somewhat competitive.

"So what about Guan Yu? Could it be that he still can't take it down?"

After a slight turn of the thought in his mind, Wei Tao's expression suddenly became certain, and he nodded and said as he looked at Guan Yu with a red face.

"I've always heard about Guan Yunchang's bravery, and I've seen it today."
