Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

Yecheng, the General's Mansion.

Yuan Shaozheng set up a banquet to celebrate the victory of destroying Gongsun Zan and capturing Youzhou.

"Nephew Zhen."

"This time, I am able to destroy Gongsun Zan, and you, the Zhen family, have contributed a lot. Come, I will offer you a toast.

Yuan Shao raised his wine glass, smiled and looked at the young master named Zhen Yao.

The Zhen family, together with the Mi family in Xuzhou and the Lu family in Huainan, are also known as the three richest people in the world.

Among them, the wealth of the Zhen family ranks first, as rich as an enemy.

After Yuan Shao won Jizhou, it was with the continuous support of the Zhen family's food, grass, money and silk that he had the confidence to defeat Gongsun Zan and capture Youzhou.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhen family is Yuan Shao's benefactor.

Zhen Yao is the head of the Zhen family.

"My lord is serious. My Zhen family is only doing a little bit of effort. How dare I take credit for it."

"The defeat of Gongsun Zan this time is really the result of the lord's heroism, and I should respect the lord.

Zhen Yao was overwhelmed by the flattery, and after some compliments, he quickly toasted.

Yuan Shao was satisfied with his humility and flattery, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Nephew, you don't have to be humble. The Zhen family has meritorious service. I won't treat you badly."

"After Xi'er helped Liu Bei destroy Liu Wu and pacified Xuzhou and returned, I asked him to marry Lingmei. We hope that the Zhen and Zhen families will be married from now on."

"After "April 20", you will be the prefect of Wei County."

Yuan Shao sipped his wine and promised a big reward.

Zhen Yao was overjoyed.

The marriage contract between his younger sister and Yuan Xi was that his father, Zhen Yi, left when he was there, and the two families married each other to get what they needed.

Now that Yuan Shao is willing to fulfill the marriage contract, a big stone in Zhen Yao's heart will naturally fall to the ground.

Yecheng is not only the prefecture of Jizhou, but also the prefecture of Wei County, and its prefect status is far higher than that of other prefectures.

Yuan Shaoneng promised to let him be the prefect of Wei County, which shows the honor and favor of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yao got up immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, my lord, for your respect, I, Zhen Yao and the Zhen family, will definitely not disappoint my lord's trust.

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction.

The counselors and generals present all congratulated Zhen Yao and Yuan Shao.

Only Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's two sons saw that Yuan Xi was married to the wealthy Zhen family, and their eyes were quite subtle.

After taking another sip of wine, Yuan Shao asked, "Did Xi'er send back news, how is the battle going on in Xuzhou?"

"Report to my lord, that Liu Wu has killed Zang Ba, relieved the siege of Xiapi, and driven Liu Bei out of Xuzhou."

"Now the second son is stationing troops in Dongwu, preparing to march south."

Jushou stood up and reported.

This news caused an uproar in the lobby.

Yuan Shao also changed his color slightly, and said suspiciously: "Then how did Liu Bei Zang Ba lose so quickly, why didn't Xi'er rush to Xuzhou to help in the battle in time?"

Jushou then told Liu Wu how to make Lu Meng attack Langxie, delay Yuan Xi's entry into Xuzhou, and then take advantage of the situation to attack at night to defeat Liu Bei's Zang Ba.

Everyone was shocked again.

"This Liu Wu is actually so farsighted, waiting for wise plans?"

A strange look flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, with surprise on his face.

"There must be something extraordinary about Liu Wu being able to destroy Yuan Shu, kill Lu Bu, and devour Xuzhou and Huainan in one fell swoop within half a year.

"It is rumored that this man uses troops like a god, and he has no plans to spare, and his martial arts are even better than Lu Bu's!"

"Looking at it now, all the rumors are indeed true. This person can be called a genius in the world, and his strength is ten times stronger than that of Liu Bei!"

In Jushou's tone and expression, he was rather solemn and apprehensive.

Yuan Shao's expression was slightly shocked, and he wondered: "Both are brothers, then Liu Xuande is mediocre, but this Liu Wu is capable of both civil and military skills, are they really brothers?"

There was another discussion in the hall.

For a moment, Liu Wu's name became the focus of discussion at the celebration banquet.

"Although Liu Bei claims to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he is actually a peasant who weaves mats and sells shoes from a poor family."

"Because he came from a poor family, although he has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he can be mediocre."

"Then Liu Wu is his own brother, and they are all from the humble family. The elder brother is mediocre, but the younger brother has become a genius in the world. Is this reasonable?"

"I thought that Master Ju had a high opinion of Liu Wu. His strength is indeed higher than that of Liu Bei, but it is absolutely impossible to be as strong as the rumors."

Yuan Tan, who had been silent all this time, spoke unhurriedly, quite disdainful towards Liu Wu.

The phrase "poor family" touched Yuan Shao's heart.

The strange look on his face was immediately replaced by arrogance, and he nodded slightly: "Tan'er is right. People from poor families are all vulgar, ignorant and incompetent. How can there be such a genius as Gong Yu said? The rumor of Liu Wu, Most of them are just rumors, not enough to be believed.”

Ju Shou was silent.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, and said coldly: "Quickly send an order to Xi'er, ordering him to join Liu Bei and go south as soon as possible. We must pacify Xuzhou before the decisive battle between me and Cao Cao!"

The voice fell.

The relatives outside the hall came to report, and Guo Tu came back and wanted to ask to see him.

"Guo Tu, why did he come back and bring back good news?"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he said with a flick of his hand: "Quick pass." "

for a moment.

Holding a wooden box in his hand, Guo Tu walked into the hall with a disheveled face and shame on his face.

In the lobby, everyone was stunned. They looked at Guo Tu as if they saw a monster.

"Guo Gongze, you, how did you become like this?"

Yuan Shao pointed to the bald Guo Tu and asked in surprise.

"My lord!"

Guo Tu knelt down on the ground, and in a tone of grief and anger, he explained the cause and effect of Yuan Xi's defeat in the Zhucheng battle.

A thunderbolt from the blue sky resounded in the lobby.

Everyone, even Ju Shou, changed color in horror.

Yuan Shao even jumped up, and said angrily: "You have 20,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 iron cavalry, and 500 heavy armors, and you were defeated by that Liu Wu?"

"The subordinate reminded the second son that Liu Wu cut off his subordinate's hair just to provoke the second son to fight, and he must not fall into Liu Wu's plan."

"But Wen Chou tried his best to fight, and the second son was encouraged by him to fight in a fit of anger."

"When Wen Chou was about to fight, he refused to exert all his strength and failed to break through the enemy's formation. This made our army lose the opportunity and was defeated by Liu Wu."

In a few words, Guo Tu put all the responsibility for the defeat on Wen Chou.

Yuan Shao was furious, and scolded at the table: "Wen Chou, you are a veteran general under my command. You have experienced many battles, how could you easily fall for Liu Wu's tricks!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao believed it to be true, Guo Tu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After the fury passed, Yuan Shao calmed down a little, and asked again: "Where is Xi'er, where has he retreated now?"

"Reporting to my lord, the second son was captured alive by Liu Wu before he could withdraw from the battlefield!"

Guo Tu said with a bitter face.

Yuan Shao's figure was shocked, and he suddenly fell down to sit down, his face was filled with deep anger instantly.

The dignified son of Yuan Shao was captured alive by the enemy, what a humiliation to him!

Yuan Shao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were already burning with anger.

"Then Liu Wu not only captured the Second Young Master alive, but also beheaded the Second Young Master's hand in retaliation for the Lord's intervention in his fight for Xuzhou with the Liu Bei brothers!"

Trembling, Guo Tu presented the wooden box and presented the severed hand in front of Yuan Shao...

Yuan Shao shivered, and his body froze immediately.

The bloody severed hand was just placed in front of his eyes.

There was dead silence in the lobby, and everyone was dumbfounded and shocked.

No one expected that Liu Wu would have the guts to not only defeat Yuan Xi, but also dare to cut off Yuan Xi's hand and openly send him to Yecheng to provoke Yuan Shao.

In the world, no one dared to look down on Yuan Lu like this.

Cao Cao dared not.

There was never such a powerful Dong Zhuo back then.

Liu Wu, that descendant of the Liu family who turned out to be born out of nowhere, that person from a humble family in their eyes, actually did it!

"This person is really cruel and bold!"

In the minds of all the people, there was the same exclamation.

"Liu Wu rat thief, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

Yuan Shao regained his composure, jumped up against the case, and roared: "The order will be passed on, and I will use all my troops to kill Xuzhou and smash Liu Wu's body into pieces."

Everyone was stunned, and no one dared to speak out against it.

"My lord, absolutely not!"

"At present, the decisive battle with Cao Cao is the most important thing. At this critical moment, I can use my teachers to make an expedition to Xuzhou!"

Jushou was the first to stand up and object.

"That's right, my lord, if we go on an expedition to Xuzhou at this time, wouldn't it give Cao Cao plenty of opportunities to prepare for the war, and it would not be conducive to our flattening of the Central Plains.

"The subordinates thought that it would not be too late to go south and destroy Cao Cao first, and then come back and destroy Liu Wu."

Feng Ji also stood up and spoke.

For a while, all the counselors spoke one after another, and they all disapproved of the conquest of Liu Wu.

Yuan Shao's anger was extinguished by everyone, and finally calmed down gradually.

"You guys are right. At this time, it is really inappropriate to divide up the troops. Going for Xi'er, who is not up to date, missed my grand plan to destroy Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao finally put away his intention to personally conquer Xuzhou.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhen Yao was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The second son is still in the hands of Liu Wu, if the master does not lead the army to fight, how can he rescue the second son.

Yuan Shao frowned, and was in a dilemma for a while. 1.9 Zhen Yao could see that Yuan Shao would never use troops against Xuzhou for Yuan Cao's decisive battle.

If so, Yuan Xi's life and death will be unpredictable, and his dream of marrying Yuan's family will come to naught.

Eyeballs rolled a few times, Zhen Yao had a plan in mind.

He immediately said: "My lord, Yao is willing to go to Xuzhou to redeem the second young master with a lot of money, and ask the lord to fill it in.

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed brightly.

"Xi'er is my son after all, if it keeps falling into Liu Wu's hands, it will dishonor my reputation."

"The Zhen family is willing to pay to redeem Xi'er, so I don't have to use troops against Liu Wu, well, this is indeed a solution that has the best of both worlds.

After weighing the benefits, Yuan Shao said: "In that case, nephew, you should go to Xuzhou quickly, and be sure to redeem Xi'er!"

Zhen Yao was overjoyed, and immediately took the order and left.

Yuan Shao also ordered Yuan Tan to lead 10,000 troops to Qingzhou. He claimed that he had an army of 100,000, thinking that Zhen Yao was powerful.

Although Yuan Tan was reluctant, he had no choice but to accept orders and leave.

"Liu Wu, if you honestly send Xi'er back, when I destroy you in the future, I will give you a decent death.

"If you are really arrogant and ignorant, I will make your life worse than death!"

Yuan Shao looked at Xuzhou, gritted his teeth, and swore secretly!
