Wei Yu closed the letter in his hand and slowly said to Liu Bei:

"The things Yuan Shu asked for were obviously difficult for the lord, so the lord didn't need to pay attention to it."

Although Wei Yu was calm on the surface, he still felt a little trembling when he listened carefully.

Wei Kai was his son after all, and with Wei Zhongdao's death, he was left with only this son.

If even Wei Kai died at Yuan Shu's hands, what's the point of his life?

But he cannot say what he said about rescuing Wei Kai. Wei Yu believed that with Liu Bei's personality, he would definitely not allow Wei Kai to be killed by Yuan Shu.

Sure enough, Liu Bei held Wei Yu's hand tightly and said:

"What is Mr. Wei saying this?

Boru and I have a close relationship with each other, and they are my brothers of life and death.

What's more, Boru's trip south is also a way to share my worries.

If Liu Bei could not rescue Bo Ru, what kind of face would he stand between heaven and earth?

It’s a pity that Yuan Shu’s request was too much.

We can't bring out any other property and talents except the position of the general!"

Liu Bei became more and more sad as he spoke, and then he burst into tears.

The lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord was killed by the ministers. Liu Bei's appearance made the generals in the camp feel like a knife.

Wei Yu was even more moved. Liu Bei would indeed try his best to rescue Wei Kai, and he did not misunderstand the person.

"Ha ha ha ha!

Yuan Shu made a request, just give it to him, why bother with the lord!"

Just as the crowd in the camp was in a sad atmosphere, they suddenly heard a clear laugh from a young man.

Everyone looked in the voice and spoke a pretty young man in white brocade clothes.

This man's surname is Yang, his name is Xiu, and his courtesy name is Dezu. He was the son of Yang Biao, the Grand Marshal of the dynasty.

After Yang Biao and Liu Bei conspired to get rid of Dong Zhuo, Yang Xiu became an official in Liu Bei and became one of the important counselors under Liu Bei.

Yang Xiu was smart and dared to speak out for advice. Liu Bei relied on him very much and praised Yang Xiu in public more than once.

I have to say that the same person follows different lords and has completely different fates.

Yang Xiu followed Boss Cao in his previous life, but it attracted Cao Cao's suspicion. He was killed by Cao Cao at a young age and ended up dying young.

But now Liu Bei is very concerned about Yang Xiu and can fully adopt Yang Xiu's opinions.

After hearing Yang Xiu's words, Liu Bei said in confusion:

"Yuan Shu wants so many things. We can't afford anything except the title of the general!"

Yang Xiu walked to the center of the tent confidently and laughed loudly:

"The so-called asking for a price everywhere, paying it back locally.

What Yuan Shu wanted most was the title of General.

Once he became a general, he could rule the two prefectures of Jingyang with justification and be granted titles to his subordinates.

As for the things like wealth, talents, I believe Yuan Shu didn't care much.

He wants one hundred billion yuan, and the lord will give him one billion yuan.

Yuan Shu wanted 100 talents, so his lord gave him twenty.

What we have to do now is to exchange Brother Boru back at the lowest cost."

Liu Bei was still a little worried:

"Then Yuan Shu will never do anything to suffer in his life. Dezu reduced the wealth he needed so much. How could Yuan Shu agree?"

Yang Xiu bowed:

"The matter is due to human affairs. I will go to lobby Yuan Shu and save Brother Bo Ru safely."

Liu Bei thought to himself that you were about to come to Yuan Shu's hands. Wouldn't there be another hostage in his hands?

Liu Bei shook his head and said:

"This matter needs to be discussed for a long time, and Dezu must not take risks."

Yang Xiu said to Liu Bei sincerely:

"Since I followed the lord, I have not achieved the merit of being a size.

Today I have the opportunity to share my worries for the main and I will not hesitate to do so!”

Wei Yu was very worried about his son's safety. Seeing that Yang Xiu was so sure, he also persuaded Liu Bei:

"Lord, I think the plan of Virtue is feasible."

"This... Dezu isn't you afraid that Yuan Shu will put you under house arrest in Shouchun?"

Liu Bei hesitated a little.

Yang Xiu laughed:

"Then Yuan Shu is the three masters of four generations, and my Yang Xiu is also the three masters of four generations!

Why am I afraid of?

As the saying goes, when two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoy. If Yuan Shu locks me in Shouchun, he will be ridiculed by the people of the world and lose all his eyes!

Yuan Shu is a smart person and will never do such a stupid thing."

After all this, Liu Bei could only agree to let Yang Xiu negotiate with Yuan Shu.

I hope Yang Xiu can successfully rescue Wei Kai as he said.

After receiving the news that Yuan Shu had successfully pacified Jiangnan, the atmosphere in Liu Bei's camp became a little depressed.

Sima Yi advised Liu Bei:

"Liu Xun, Wang Lang and others were originally not Yuan Shu's opponents, and they were expected to be defeated by Yuan Shu.

The most urgent task now is to pacify Hanzhong.

As long as Hanzhong is included in the rule of the lord, the lord will have the capital to compete with Yuan Shu."

Liu Bei nodded and said:

"With that being said, it's just that Yangping Pass is dangerous and rare in the world.

Even if our army has an army of 100,000, it will be difficult to capture this pass in a short period of time."

Sima Yi smiled and said:

"I already have a plan to break the city. I will seize Yangping Pass within ten days!"

The next day, Liu Bei led his army to attack Yangping Pass again.

Zhang Wei, who received support, became angry again. He actually dared to lead Yang Ang and Yang as two generals, to come to the gate to fight against Liu Bei.

Zhang Wei, who was standing in the center of the military formation, looked at Liu Bei's army from afar, and said to the two generals:

"There are many powerful generals under Liu Bei's army, especially Guan Yu, who has the courage to be inappropriate.

Before, General Changqi died under the sword of this fang."

Standing on the left side of Zhang Wei was General Yang Ren.

Yang Ren was dark-faced, wearing black iron armor, holding a sword with a cold light in his hand, and his muscles looked full of explosive power.

Yang Ren snorted coldly when he heard this and said:

"There is no hero at that time, so the prince becomes famous.

Today I will meet Guan Yunchang to see if he is really capable or has a false reputation!”

Yang Ren is extremely powerful and is the most brave general under Zhang Lu's command. It is not overestimating his ability to compete with Guan Yu.

Yang Ren rode out and pointed at Liu Bei's army and said loudly:

"You rats have violated our borders, have you heard of this general's name?

General Yang Ren is here, who dares to come forward to lead the death?!"

Seeing that Yang Ren was so arrogant, Guan Yu opened his eyes and became murderous to him.

He held the Qinglong sword in his hand tightly, and was about to ride a horse to fight to kill Yang Ren when he heard Guan Ping's voice behind him:

"Why use a scoundrel to kill a chicken?

This thief will not deserve the father to take action personally, just leave it to the child!"

Sima Yi also said:

"General Guan's courage is invincible in the world, but now our army's top priority is not to kill the enemy generals, but to seize Yangping Pass.

Let this battle be handed over to the Major General.”
