Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55 Lobbying Yuan Shao
Liu Bowen drove to Bohai County, Nanpi County, Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You greeted Liu Bowen at the city gate.

"Xu You was ordered by my lord to come to meet the special envoy of Bingzhou." Liu Bowen's car came to the city gate, and Xu You stepped forward and said.

"Mr. Xu is very polite! Ji, by the order of my lord, come and repair Master Yuan Shao." Liu Bowen got out of the car and said with cupped hands.

"Mr. Liu, please come with me to meet my lord." Xu You said arrogantly, and left with his sleeves flung, Liu Bowen followed behind.

Outside a palace gate, Xu You didn't give Liu Bowen any good looks and said: "My lord is inside, waiting for the special envoy, special envoy please!"

"Thank you!" Liu Bowen saluted. Although he was rude, but he, Liu Bowen, could not be unruly, so he went inward after saying that.

"I've seen Duke Yuan! I've seen you all!" Liu Bowen cupped his hands to Yuan Shao and everyone who was sitting on the main seat.

"Son Li Song! What is the purpose of letting you come here?" Yuan Shao looked sideways at Liu Bowen and said.

"Back to Duke Yuan! This time, my lord ordered me to come here, to make good friends with Duke Yuan, form an alliance forever, and stop fighting." Liu Bowen said.

"As a show of sincerity, I would like to hand over Wei Jun and offer one hundred thousand shi of grain and grass."

"Humph! I, Jizhou, is a rich place with a population of one million. Why should I form an alliance with you, return Wei County quickly, get out of Jizhou, and make offerings to my lord, and Bingzhou will become a subsidiary of the Yuan family."

"And Li Song's son is still young, so he is not suitable for this Bingzhou Mu and General Zuo. Let him remove his armor and return to the seal, and my lord can let him live a good life of prosperity and wealth." Yuan Shao's counselor Zhan came out and said.

"So, Mr. Yuan intends to make an enemy of my lord! Do you want to fight?" Liu Bowen said forcefully.

"War, why not! Are we still afraid that you will fail? If you don't follow the above, my lord will send troops to take it, so why not!" Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong said.

"Huh! If you want to fight, fight! I have hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers in Bingzhou, and I have enough food and resources. Why are you afraid of going to war with you, but you suffered heavy losses in the battle with Gongsun Zan's giant horse water?"

"Soldiers, horses, food and grass are not enough, what can I use to fight my army of tigers and wolves in Bingzhou? Don't forget that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is still coveting the rich land of Jizhou." Liu Bowen said with an emphasis.

"Could it be that Yuan Gong wants to fight with our army, so that both losers will be hurt, and Gongsun Zan will benefit? Or, can I let you bully me at will?"

"Besides, my lord has no intention of being an enemy of Duke Yuan!"

"Could it be that you don't have the heart to covet Jizhou? Don't you also think that my lord, after losing both with that Gongsun Zan, is a good fisherman who will benefit?" Guo Tu said.

"Unexpectedly, I didn't intend to be an enemy! Why did you take Wei County of Jizhou forcibly in the first place? It's not a joke to deceive people like this."

"My lord has always been hospitable. If distinguished guests come, they must have delicious food and wine, and treat them well. If people with bad intentions come, I have a sword."

"In the past, if it weren't for coveting our Bingzhou, why would our army cross the border, occupy other counties and counties, and let tens of thousands of soldiers die in a foreign land." Liu Bowen said.

"What's more, Yuan Gong's confidant is not my lord, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. Although Yuan Gong's Jizhou is not stable, but my Bingzhou is what the people want."

"Combining with my lord is beneficial but harmless! Why should Mr. Yuan put himself in danger? As far as joining with our two families is concerned, this is a combination that benefits both. Ji, I implore Mr. Yuan to think twice!" Liu Bowen said to Yuan Shao A deep salute.

I know about my family's affairs, and how much sadness there is in it, and only Yuan Shao can understand that the people from Jizhou are not so glorious.

Jizhou was deceived by Yuan Shao, and Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou who left Jizhou, was even more because of the envoy Yuan Shao sent to contact Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Han Fu thought he was going to kill him, so he hid in the hut and committed suicide.

Everyone in the world blamed Han Fu's death on him. He, Yuan Shao, was born in four generations and three princes.

People all over the world have complaints about him, Yuan Shao, especially in Jizhou, where people often rebel. There is Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and there is a neighbor with good strength in Bingzhou. His unlucky younger brother sometimes gives him eyes. medicine.

It made him unable to spare time to rectify these unstable factors in Jizhou. After thinking about it, Yuan Shaosi also felt that alliance is the best thing right now.

"Yuan's family has students and old officials all over the world. As long as my lord raises his arms, the old officials all over the world still don't respond to my lord's call."

"My lord has generals Wen Chou, Yan Liang, etc. under his command. Taking the enemy's head among ten thousand troops is like picking something out of a pocket, so why should we join forces with you?" Yuan Shao's nephew, high-ranking officer, counselor Xin Ping also stood up and said.

"The Yuan family has many students and old officials, but the Yuan family is not Yuan Gong alone. Leaving aside the rest of the Yuan family, you may have forgotten that there is Yuan Shu and Yuan Road in the south." Liu Bowen reminded.

"May I ask Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and other generals, how is their bravery compared to Wen Hou Lu Bu? How do they compare with Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian and Sun Wentai when they line up and attack the city?" Liu Bowen turned his head and cupped his hands against Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He. The others saluted and asked.

"Yongwu, we are naturally not as good as Wen Hou Lu Bu." Yan Liang stood up and said, he knew how much he weighed, not to mention they didn't bother to tell such a lie.

"Arranging troops and attacking the city is a little inferior to Wucheng Housun Wentai." After weighing it in his heart, Wen Chou also stood up and told the truth.

"Since the generals are not as brave as Wen Hou Lu Bu, and the formation of troops and attacking the city is slightly inferior to Wu Chenghou Sun Wentai, why dare to speak nonsense here!" Liu Bowen flicked his sleeves and looked around.

"Everyone knows that Wen Hou Lu Bu was defeated by Pei Yuanqing, the captain of our town's martial arts school, but couldn't do a hundred moves."

"At the beginning, Sun Wentai was defeated twice by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, but Xu Rong was defeated by my general Xiang."

"These two are under my lord's command, but they are not at the top. In terms of bravery, Gold Wing Captain Yu Wenchengdu and Zhenlei Captain Li Yuanba are even above them."

"When it comes to arranging troops and attacking cities, Jingwu generals Xue Li and Xue Rengui are even better."

After Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. Even Lu Bu, the slave of the three surnames, and Xu Rong, a general of Dong Zhuo's tribe, couldn't compare to him, and his strength was even worse than Li Song. What would he use to fight them now? Bad luck awaits him with a long neck.

"Everyone! Ji, I came here to repair the two families and live in peace, not to grovel with you and bow your knees."

"Okay! What Mr. Liu said is reasonable! I have decided to sign a covenant with your lord!" Yuan Shao finally said against everyone's arguments.

"This is the covenant, please have a look at Mr. Yuan!" Liu Bowen took out a piece of silk cloth with the treaty written on it, Li Song signed it, and sealed it, and handed it to Yuan Shao. Pass the silk cloth, turn around and hand it to Yuan Shao to watch.
