Chapter 607
In front of the main hall of Yuan Shangyuan in Xuchang, Liu Xun was sitting there panting heavily with an unfriendly expression on his face. No wonder this kid was in a bad mood. After all, this matter is quite disgusting. Think about it, who would be regarded as a beggar? , this heart is not very good.

Yuan Shang was indifferent, with a warm smile on his face, he looked at Liu Xun like a spring breeze, as if he was looking at another special and strange object.

In fact, Liu Xun is indeed a rarity in Yuan Shang's heart. From the first time he saw Liu Xun, Yuan Shang didn't think he was a prince, on the contrary, he looked like a direct disciple of the beggar gang!

Yuan Shang couldn't help thinking maliciously in his heart, if Liu Zhang is the leader of the Beggar Gang, then Liu Xun should be regarded as the young leader of the Beggar Gang... From the appearance, Liu Xun can be said to be the most handsome and snow-white young leader of the Beggar Gang in history .

When people served tea when they were young, Yuan Shang was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then let out a long breath of refreshment.

"Excellent tea! Would you like to try it?" Yuan Shang was very polite, and waved at Liu Xun, in a mess of boldness and generosity.

Liu Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it for a while, then nodded involuntarily. Although he is now down and out, he is also a nobleman, and he has seen a lot of high-quality things in the past. Are the things good? , he still has eyesight to discern.

“Good tea!”

After a long while, Liu Xun just slowly opened his eyes, and praised with a thumbs up: "It is indeed a good tea! It is pleasant and fragrant, refreshing, with a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, the breath of Finland, and the tip of the tongue is slightly sweet. Drink it Afterwards, people can feel a tea aroma slowly permeating from the nose to the throat, making people feel confused, and there is an indescribable looseness and softness in the limbs and bones!"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "The mind is not right, loose and soft, it is a bit strange to hear you use this word... Are you describing Mongolian sweat medicine?"

When Liu Xun heard this, his face turned red again, and he hurriedly argued: "Don't get me wrong, General, I'm just making an analogy..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xun felt that this excuse seemed a little pale. He looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and then changed the subject: "General, where did you buy such good tea?"

Yuan Shang looked up to the sky with a smile, and said with infinite pride: "It's good tea! Haha, I stole it from Xun Yu!"

Liu Xun: "..."

He has discovered now that there seems to be some generation gap between himself and this Great General Sima, and the two of them can hardly communicate in language... It shouldn't be, they are both descendants of famous families, rich and noble sons, why are they acting and talking Completely different in style?
Liu Xun thought carefully: It didn't take long for me to escape to Nanman with my father. Did the social atmosphere of the Han Dynasty change so quickly?
After a while, I saw Liu Xun coughing twice again, and said with a smile: "General, I would take the liberty to visit again today, but... I would like to ask the General to look at the old feelings and use the present The current situation is the most important thing, don't reject me as being thousands of miles away, the two of us will join forces to deal with Liu Bei, which will benefit the general a lot, why not do it?"

Yuan Shang didn't directly reply to Liu Xun's words, but said with great interest: "You said just now, because of the old friendship? But in my impression, I don't seem to have any friendship with you or your father Liu Zhang, right?" ?”

Liu Xun hurriedly said: "Although my father and I have no relationship with the general, Zhang Ren, the general under my father's command, has friendship with Yuan Gong's cronies! Zhao Yun, the first general under the general's command, is currently the governor of Yongliang, He is the senior brother of General Zhang of our family, and Zhang Xiu, the captain of the Qiang guard in Liangzhou, is also the senior brother of General Zhang of our family..."

"Oh!" Yuan Shang pretended to be stunned when he heard the words: "It turns out that General Zhang Ren of your family is the three brothers who are disciples of the same teacher as Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiunai?"

Liu Xun nodded hastily and said, "Of course!"

Yuan Shang stroked the shallow beard on his chin, and said in a thoughtful way: "In this way, our two families really have a little friendship. If I don't give face, it's really not good, and I can't justify it..."

As soon as Liu Xun heard that there was something in Yuan Shang's words, he suddenly regained his energy, nodded vigorously and said, "That's the reason, it's the reason..."

"But..." Yuan Shang changed the subject and said: "Now I already own the land of the Central Plains, the four prefectures of Hebei, and the fertile soil of Guanzhong! I already account for two of the three points in the world. Although Liu Bei straddles the land of Jing and Yi, But no matter how I think about it, he can't be my opponent. After the Central Plains are stabilized, the next step is to send millions of soldiers to attack Jingzhou in the south, and then echo from the north to the south, and trap Liu Bei to death in Shu... To deal with Liu Bei, I personally The ability is completely achievable, so why should I join forces with you? Besides, if it is really an alliance, I would rather be concerned about your situation, abandoning Jingzhou, which is easy to get, and taking Yizhou, which is hard to attack, first. ...doesn't seem like a good deal to me, does it?"

"This..." Liu Xun was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

Yuan Shang rubbed his forehead and sighed: "However, as you said, you came to form an alliance with me with sincerity. If I don't agree, it will make the world look down on me, and I will not stand up for righteousness... Sigh, it is really a dilemma. Mr. Liu, why teach me?"

Seeing Yuan Shang kick the ball to himself, Liu Xun immediately kicked the ball back and said, "I don't know, but I would like to hear the general's opinion?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Listen to my advice? Okay! Then let me tell you, the matter of the alliance is absolutely impossible! If you want me to help you deal with Liu Bei, there is only one way, and that is for you to surrender!"

Liu Xun was surprised when he heard the words: "Submission?"

Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "That's right, with your current strength and influence, you have no qualifications to be equal to me at all, and there is no other way to go except surrender!"

When Liu Xun heard the words, the sweat on his head suddenly fell down: "But...but..."

"Mr. Liu, don't be so bad. Just look at your own misery. You guys can't even afford to eat in Nanman. In this embarrassment, do you still think about the identity and dignity of a prince? Don't Speaking of you, Cao Zhi is the prime minister of the court, so what can you do when you face me? Why don’t you lead the crowd to surrender! Could it be that you are stronger than Cao Zhi back then given the predicament you are in today? "

At this point, Yuan Shang paused, and said: "Besides, as far as I know, the Nanman area seems to be not peaceful, right? Many tribes are doing their own thing and attacking each other. If you get involved for a long time, I'm afraid the consequences will be worrisome. You have to think about the pros and cons for yourself."

Liu Xun let out a long sigh, feeling bitter in his heart.

Yuan Shang's words can be said to have reached his heart.

Today's Nanman is really a struggle among various ministries, and their own politics. Although Liu Zhang treated the Nanman tribes fairly well when he was in Chengdu, the situation in the Nanman is now chaotic, and the ministries can't protect themselves. How can we use Liu Zhang's troops to restore Shu?

In particular, the Nanman has recently produced a young barbarian hero named Meng Huo. He is fierce, aggressive and ambitious. He vowed to unify the tribes of the Nanman. If this little Nanman succeeds, he will rule the southern border and become the king of the barbarians. , his eyes will inevitably turn to the hinterland of Xichuan, let alone Liu Zhang's control, whether Liu Bei can control him is a question.

The current Liu family father and son have Liu Bei at the top and various tribes fighting at the bottom. It really seems to be living in the cracks.

After a quiet silence for a while, Liu Xunchang sighed and said, "I understand what the general meant, but I have no right to make this decision for my father... I need to go back first and ask my father."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, I can wait. The matter in Zhongzhou will take me a long time to deal with. I'm not in a hurry to expand to the south now. I have a lot of time."

"I...understand."

After Liu Xun cupped his hands and finished speaking, his face was a bit sad, but he still reacted quickly. Anyway, things have turned around. Even if he surrendered, it would not be a big problem for his own side, and he could influence his father and himself. They don't have the heart to dominate the world, even if they don't surrender today, they still have to find a way out for themselves.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun's mood improved a lot, he cupped his hands at Yuan Shang, and said, "I'm coming from Nanzhong this time, and I will prepare a small gift for the general, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile."

Yuan Shang laughed, and said with a smile: "When people give me gifts, I have always accepted them all. You can rest assured about this."

Liu Xun seemed relieved when he heard the words, then clapped his hands and ordered people to bring the presents to the main hall.

They were a few dilapidated large wooden boxes. After opening, the wooden boxes contained pots and pots, which were tightly sealed. I don't know what precious things were contained in them. It took so much effort to wrap them.

After Yuan Shang looked at it, he felt a little curious, and then pointed out: "What are these?"

Liu Xun chuckled, and said, "General, these are the sacred products of southern Xinjiang! There are no treasures in the Central Plains!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard the words. He knew that Yunnan's gemstone mines were known as one of the top ten mineral resources in the country in later generations. omen?

No wonder when I woke up early in the morning, my left eyelid twitched vigorously.

Seeing Yuan Shang's strong interest, Liu Xun picked up a jar as if offering a treasure, and handed it to Yuan Shang.

"General, please look at this!"

Yuan Shang opened the jar with a smile and took a look, his face immediately turned pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he just stood there for a while without making a sound.

Liu Xun rubbed his hands, and explained to Yuan Shang with a smile: "General, this is the poisonous scorpion that is abundant in southern Xinjiang, and its poisonous power is the highest in the world! But although this thing is poisonous, the taste is definitely not to be picky! And it can cure all kinds of diseases, it has the effects of relieving wind and spasm, reducing inflammation and attacking poison, dredging collaterals and relieving pain! It is especially effective in treating convulsions in children..."

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, then covered the jar, returned it to Liu Xun, and forced a smile: "Okay, okay, is there anything else?"

"Of course there is!" Liu Xun handed Yuan Shang another jar as if offering a treasure.

"General, this is the Southwest centipede, a specialty of southern Xinjiang! It tastes delicious, has a great taste, and is crunchy when chewed! It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, dampness, reducing swelling and pain, and dredging collaterals..."

Yuan Shang stuffed the jar back into Liu Xun's hand with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his eyes.
"do you have anything else?"

"Yes, of course!" Liu Xun was full of enthusiasm, and began to introduce Yuan Shang to each other...

"Look, General! This is the southern border ladybug..."

"Look, General! This is the Great Snail of Southern Border..."

"Look, General! This is the Southern Border Cicada Pupa..."

"Look, General! This is the Southern Border Fly..."

"Look, General! This is Southern Border..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Shang slammed the latest piece of porcelain that Liu Xun handed over to the ground, but when he heard the sound of "pound", he suddenly saw Liu Xun's face twitching in distress...

"Take it away! Take it all away!" Yuan Shang stomped his feet angrily, and cursed at Liu Xun, "Take your big southern Xinjiang fly back to me wherever it came from! You should fool me with bugs Am I a chicken! Or a duck..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Xun rushing towards the broken jar, leaning down on the ground, staring at his eyes, trying to find something... After a long while, he saw Liu Xun raised his head sadly, and rushed forward regretfully. Seeing Yuan Shang let out a sigh of relief, he said helplessly: "General, it's over! It's over! You've got a big deal! You've got a big deal!"

Yuan Shang curled his lips in disdain, and said, "It's just breaking a jar, what kind of big deal is it?"

"General, do you know what's in this jar? Once this thing gets out, I'm afraid your house will be in trouble for a while!"

"Yuan has never seen anything in all his travels, so don't scare me here... What's in that jar?"

Liu Xun took a deep breath, and said to Yuan Shang in an infinitely sad and sympathetic tone.

"The inside of that jar...is dedicated to you, General...the Great Dance in Southern Border!"

Yuan Shang: "..."

********************
A few days later, the envoy from Liaodong came to Xuchang, met Yuan Shang, and reported to Yuan Shang about Tian Chou's meeting with Tuoba Liwei.

At that time, besides Yuan Shang, Sima Yi was also present at the meeting.

After the envoy finished speaking, both Yuan Shang and Sima Yi were silent for a while.

After a while, Fang heard Yuan Shang sigh quietly, looked at the messenger and said, "So, Tuoba Liwei agreed to send troops to Liaodong?"

The messenger nodded and said, "Yes."

Sima Yi wondered at the side: "Tuoba Liwei is a smart man, and he has always acted in a low-key manner. He should be aware of the consequences of being involved in the disputes between China and Earth. How did he agree so happily this time?"

Yuan Shang looked at the envoy and said, "When Tian Chou saw Tuoba Liwei, did he say that I would like to help him establish a country?"

The envoy nodded and said, "Say it."

"What's Tuoba Liwei's reaction?"

"No comment, but I agreed to Mr. Tian's request."

Yuan Shang laughed, turned to Sima Yi and said, "This is the crux of the problem. It is impossible for a low-key and smart person to not have ambitions. Even Tuoba Liwei, who has such a good relationship with me, is the same. The so-called non-self Clans, their hearts must be different! In fact, compared to the three major clans of Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, people like Tuoba Liwei may be more terrifying."

Sima Yi nodded and said, "My lord, this time, are you trying to test Tuoba Liwei on the matter of establishing a country?"

Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "That's right, Li Ru is a big move for me. If you want to use it, you must use it wisely! This time, I will use him to completely settle the Son of Heaven, recover Xun Yu, and eliminate the fusion of aliens." Instability factor, Tuoba Liwei was resolved by the way! From then on, there is no spokesperson for our Central Plains in the Saibei Grassland, and all matters in the grassland will be decided by me in the Central Plains... What I want is as simple as that."
