The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 603
What Yuan Shang said to Liu Xun, although the truth is so reasonable, is too much to hurt the self-esteem of others. Although Liu Xun has become a beggar, he is still the young son of the former master of Xichuan. It can be regarded as the son of the same generation.

Although they are of the same generation, they are also the heirs of the princes of the past, but now things are different, and Yuan Shang is a high-spirited man. He not only occupies the throne of the world's number one prince, but also dominates the world. After Cao Zhi surrendered, he even occupied the entire northern land. Many generals, how elated.

Liu Xun looked down at himself again, his nose was sour, tears almost didn't come out.
From clothes to shoes, I don't have a decent thing on my body, except for the sexy/sensual big toe as Yuan Shang said, there is really nothing to show for it... let alone compare with a big man like Yuan Shang, Even with ordinary people, he is far behind him. Yuan Shang said that he is a beggar, but in fact, this evaluation is also very pertinent.

Liu Xun didn't want to do this either, but he had no choice. When he ran out from Chengdu, although he brought some gold and silver with him, the amount was not too much. After he arrived in Nanzhong, he had no income. The southern barbarian tribes made friends and scraped by.

The Nanman land is vast, not smaller than Xichuan, but it is an uncivilized land. It is divided into many tribes, who drink blood like hair and don't respect the king. Some of the tribes have received benefits from Liu Zhang, so it is considered good to take them in. They can also point out Do they provide themselves with a good living environment?

If someone drinks blood like a feather, can he give you fine clothes and fine food?
After staying in the wilderness for several years, Liu Zhang and his remnants were almost assimilated by the barbarians. This time he came to the Central Plains, let alone became a beggar, and it was very difficult for Liu Xun to remember how to say it in Chinese.

But if you are down and out, Liu Xun still has the dignity of being the son of Xichuan in the past.

"Since the general looks down on us and doesn't want to form an alliance with us, then forget it, and find someone else!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xun cupped his hands casually, and turned his head away with strides. Ju Shou was startled when he saw this, and was about to call out to stop Liu Xun, but Yuan Shang slightly raised his hand to stop him.

Jushou turned his head, obviously a little anxious, stomping his horns and said: "My lord, even if Liu Zhang is down and out, he is also the old master of Xichuan in the past. From Liu Yan to Liu Zhang, the Liu family and his son separated Xichuan for 20 years, and their reputation is well-known. If we can have them restrain Liu Bei in Nanzhong, it will be of great benefit to our overall strategy in the future!"

After hearing Jushou's words, Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: "What Mr. Gong and Mr. said makes sense."

When Ju Shou heard this, he was furious: "Since it is very reasonable, why did my lord deliberately let Liu Xun down?"

Yuan Shang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked Sima Yi, who had been following him all the time but didn't say much, "Zhongda, can you understand my thoughts?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "I think I know a little bit."

"Then you explain to Mr. Gong and Mr."

Sima Yi sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Unite with Liu Zhang, attack Liu Bei front and back, and form a situation where the north and the south echo each other. There is nothing wrong with this in terms of the overall strategy, but the problem lies in who will take the lead."

Hearing this, Ju Shou looked at Sima Yi curiously, but he saw Sima Yi smiling and said: "Liu Zhang wants to join us because Liu Bei took his foundation and wants revenge, but in the end, he just wants to take back Xichuan, and for us , if we want to start a war with Liu Bei, our ultimate goal is still Xichuan, so fundamentally we can’t reach an agreement. The alliance will also fall apart in the end. Things must be sorted out beforehand.”

Ju Shou stroked his beard and remained silent.

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "What Zhongda said is what I want to say. If I'm not wrong, Liu Zhang's real purpose is to use us as spearmen. He wants us to send troops into Shu to contain most of Liu Bei's army. It is impossible for me to give him the initiative. Of course, if I want to take the initiative, the alliance is impossible. At most, I can only let them become our subordinates, or attach them. Only in this way can we control the future attacks on Xichuan Rhythm."

Ju Shou heard the words and sighed: "But you were so angry with him just now..."

"If you want Liu Zhang to become our vassal, you have to be angry with him, and you have to put on an attitude that we don't take him seriously. If you give them a feeling that I care about them, wouldn't that give them Sit on the ground and repay the principal of the money?"

At this point, Yuan Shang patted Jushou on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ju, when it comes to governing the country and military strategy, you are the number one in the world, but when it comes to guessing people's hearts, you sit back and pay back the money..."

After that, Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at Sima Yi with a smile, and said, "You are a little bit worse than the two of us..."

Ju Shou: "..."

*****************************
Just as Yuan Shang and Sima Yi expected, after Liu Xun slammed the door and left that day, he did not leave immediately. He just lived outside Xuchang City, waiting for Yuan Shang's call. In his heart, he thought that Yuan Shang must be putting on airs on purpose that day. You will regret it afterwards.

But Yuan Shang was not as he wished, after a few days, he had been dealing with the aftermath of Zhongzhou and other things in Xuchang, and he didn't even pay attention to Liu Xun.

Moreover, Yuan Shang does have a lot of things to settle now. In his mind, it is still too early to deal with Liu Bei. The most urgent thing to delay is to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains and completely put Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places under his control.

And to do this, he needs the help of one person, and this person is Xun Yu.

At the beginning, Jia Xu also said to Yuan Shang that if he wanted to quickly stabilize the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, he must recover Xun Yu.

To tame Xun Yu, the first thing to do is to show your sincerity. Yuan Shang quickly sent people from Hebei to Xuchang, who had been living idly there, to let their uncles and nephews meet.

Yuan Shang led Cao Zhi and Xun You to visit Xun Yu's mansion together, no matter how famous he was, he couldn't miss him.

In front of the main hall of Xun Yu's mansion, Yuan Shang, Cao Zhi, Xun Yu, and Xun You sat around it. If it were changed to the past, this combination would make everyone in the world dumbfounded.

In the middle of the hall, Yuan Shang took a sip of fragrant tea, then tapped his mouth, and said: "It's really good, it's also tea, the tea in my Grand General's Mansion is just a level behind the tea in other places, I don't know why, Every time I go to someone else's house to drink tea, I feel that it is extra sweet and delicious, which is really strange... Xun Lingjun, why do you think this is?"

Xun Yu's face turned dark, and he heard the words: "I guess it's because other people's tea doesn't cost money, so you can drink it for free..."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that this is really the case."

Xun Yu turned his head to one side, looked at Xun You who was led by Yuan Shang, then cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yuan, I am very grateful for sending my nephew back to Xuchang, but if you want this old man to submit to you, what can I do for you?" If you do things, I think you should give up your heart."

"........."
