Chapter 173 Yuan Shu: When you are an emperor, you have to refuse three invitations, right?
"This Liu Bei is really surprising!"
Regarding the current situation, Yang Xiu didn't have much feelings in his heart at the moment.
Just like when he served under Cao Cao this time, he endured such humiliation in order to integrate into the other party's circle.
And this time Liu Bei can endure the treatment he did yesterday, he must have his purpose in mind.
Yang Xiu would not treat Liu Bei differently if he approached someone with impure intentions.
However, after all, the other party is now the royal family of the Han Dynasty. If he deigns to come to visit him, he will somewhat lose his own style if he doesn't see him.
And Yang Xiu was a little disdainful for hiding away.
Simply, he ordered his subordinates to invite Liu Bei to the main hall to see what his purpose was.
Not long after, Yang Xiu received Liu Bei in the main hall.
After sitting down, Yang Xiu still showed no enthusiasm at all on his face.
Liu Bei didn't mind at all and continued yesterday's topic as soon as it came up.
That way, it's like the other party really admires his essay.
Yang Xiu seemed to have seen through Liu Bei this time. He just listened to Liu Bei boasting about his article without being moved at all.
"Xiu is not talented, and the essays he has written are naturally felt in his heart. If the emperor's uncle is here just for this matter, I will forgive him for not being able to accompany him!"
Yang Xiu said bluntly, without the slightest politeness in his tone.
Hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that Yang Xiu would be so direct.
However, discussing Fu Lun itself is an introduction. What he said was just that he wanted to get closer to Yang Xiu.
Since this method doesn't work, then find another way.
Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xiu, and chuckled. He looked at the tea cup in front of him and saw that the tea had cooled down a bit.
"Master Yang is a great talent, I just don't want to see Master Bo's talent be covered up!"
"Talents like Zhubo are indispensable for today's big men. If..."
Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Yang Xiu in front of him smiled contemptuously.
"General Liu!"
"What's the point of saying this? It's hard to believe that you want me to surrender to you!"
"Do you know your current situation!"
"With Cao Sikong here, even if you have Kunpeng's ambition, what can you do?"
"Although you are the emperor's uncle, you are only the emperor's uncle in Xuchang City!"
Yang Xiu sneered.
At this time, I almost pointed at Liu Bei’s nose and said, these words of yours have no meaning at all.
I, Yang Xiu, will not surrender to you.
You don’t even look at your current situation.
You, Liu Bei, even though you have the title of Imperial Uncle in Xuchang City, you are just a mascot that is displayed openly.
It has no effect at all.
After saying this, Yang Xiu felt that if he were Liu Bei at this moment, he probably wouldn't say much, and would even stand up and leave directly.
However, Liu Bei's expression did not change at all at this moment.
He just raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xiu.
"Master Yang, I value you so seriously not only because of your talent and ability, but more importantly because of the Yang family's long-standing reputation!"
"The fourth and third generation of the Yang family, I respect you from the bottom of my heart!"
"As for Bei, although he is a member of the Han family, his background is not high. If it weren't for His Majesty's love, Bei would not be able to bear the title of imperial uncle!"
"However, since Bei's surname is Liu, he cannot sit back and watch the Han Dynasty continue like this!"
"And the Yang family, the fourth generation and the three princes, have retired from the country. How can Master Yang see this big man dying every step of the way!"
"I know that Mr. Yang longs for a big man, so I feel that the same is true for Mr. Yang's son!"
"You may be mocking me or scorning me!"
"If you don't care, what you do is nothing more than the Han Dynasty!"
"If the Lord's kindness can benefit the world, even if the Lord's kindness condescends to me and belittles me, what's the harm!"
"In preparation for this trip, all I ask for is for the Lord to help me and help this big man!"
Liu Bei spoke sincerely.
Liu Bei was naturally touched by Yang Xiu's attitude, but for him now, he didn't care about this.
At present, most of the people in Xuchang City are Cao Cao's cronies.
Apart from Dong Cheng and others, it is the Yang family.
These are the only people who can help Liu Bei.
Although Yang Xiu is arrogant because of his talent, his opponent's ability is still clearly visible.
If we can get help and help him escape from the prison of Xuchang, it will not matter if he suffers some contempt and humiliation.
Liu Bei thought clearly.
It's just a little bit of face. If you can't live without Xuchang, even if you are the emperor's uncle, what's the point?
In the end, you can't use your abilities.
We can only continue to watch the current great Han Dynasty dying.
And if this continues, Liu Bei cannot do it.
Now that Yang Xiu is treating him coldly, fortunately, he might as well reveal his purpose directly, so there's nothing wrong with it.
After Liu Bei spoke his words, Yang Xiu on the opposite side couldn't help but paused.
Tell the truth like this and show your purpose.
Yang Xiu has never seen such an approach.
Liu Bei's expression was sincere and his words were genuine. For a moment, Yang Xiu didn't know how to deal with it.
Sometimes, a person's sincerity is the most touching thing in people's hearts.
This is the situation right now.
Yang Xiu, who had looked down on Liu Bei just now, couldn't help but feel a little touched.
How could a person like this be so generous, endure his own humiliation, and even tell his own purpose? How could he fail to achieve anything?
As he sees it.
The reason why Liu Bei can't do anything right now is essentially because he has no foundation or connections in Xuchang.
Everything you do is restricted.
Like a fish in a pond or a bird in a cage.
But who can know what kind of fish or bird the person in front of me is!
But Yang Xiu can tell with this skill!
The Liu Bei in front of me will definitely not be a mediocre person.
It may be the hidden dragon hiding in the pool, which has not yet crossed the dragon gate.
Or maybe it’s the Kunpeng that can’t spread its wings.
If I could leave this place of Xuchang, I might be able to make a name for myself outside like a prince.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And to be able to go from being a commoner to his current status as an imperial uncle, Liu Bei has proven his ability.
When the impression of a person changes, the evaluation of the other person changes accordingly.
At this moment, Yang Xiu's look at Liu Bei has changed a bit.
At this time, Yang Xiu couldn't help but straighten his clothes.
"Forgive me, General, but I did something wrong before!"
After changing his view on Liu Bei, Yang Xiu solemnly apologized.
At this time, Liu Bei just smiled and waved his hands, not caring about what happened before.
"May I ask, General, how can Xiu help you?"
Yang Xiu asked.
Liu Bei's expression became serious at this time, and he bowed his hand towards Yang Xiu.
"Master Bo, if you want to leave Xuchang this time and don't know the way forward, I wonder if Master Bo can give you some advice!"
Liu Bei asked directly, and Yang Xiu frowned.
He knew that Liu Bei wanted to leave Xuchang, but given the current situation, perhaps he would have a chance to escape only after Cao Cao led his troops to leave Xuchang.
More importantly, if Liu Bei wants to perform externally, he must have subjective righteousness.
The most direct thing is to get the emperor's edict.
"I heard recently that Cao Sikong seems to intend to go west after the autumn harvest. This is the opportunity for the emperor's uncle to leave Xuchang!"
"But judging from the current situation in the world, the only one who can compete with Cao Sikong is Yuan Shao in Jizhou!"
"If the general can get help from Yuan Shao, it may be beneficial!"
Yang Xiu felt that he didn’t have much to say.
The current situation in the world is already here, even though he has changed his view of Liu Bei.
But whether I should be optimistic or not, I am still not optimistic!
"Yuan Shao?"
Liu Bei paused. In fact, he thought the same thing.
Now among the foreign princes, only Yuan Shao can fight against Cao Cao.
If he can get the emperor's edict, he can use it to attack Cao Cao, just as the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo.
"General..."
……
That day, Liu Bei and Yang Xiu had a long chat in the Yang Mansion. It was not until dusk that Liu Bei quietly left the Yang Mansion.
From beginning to end, Yang Biao never met Liu Bei.
During this conversation, Yang Xiu told Liu Bei that he only had to wait for the opportunity, and after Cao Cao went on an expedition, he could take the emperor's edict and leave Xuchang.
What Yang Xiu can do is turn the whole of Xuchang into a puddle of muddy water after Cao Cao goes out.
After leaving the Yang family, Liu Bei began to hide in his house and did not come out for a long time.
At the same time.
Within Wu County on the other side.
Wang Pu once again brought Cao Cao's edict to meet Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
"The imperial court actually awarded me the title of General of the Ming and Han Dynasties!"
Sun Ce didn't have the slightest objection to Wang Pu coming again.
Moreover, this time the other party came with the imperial edict, and with the title of General of the Ming and Han Dynasties, he was directly serving the imperial court.
After the jade seal was handed over to Yuan Shu in the previous episode, in the current situation, it can be regarded as complete freedom.
"Congratulations, General!"
Wang Pu had a smile on his face, and Sun Ce followed suit.
"I wonder what the court needs me to do this time?"
Sun Ce asked bluntly.
After all, Cao Cao wanted to win over him, and since he had accepted this benefit, it was natural for him to reciprocate the favor.
Wang Pu didn't hide anything and told Sun Ce immediately.
Cao Cao wanted him to unite with Chen Yu to attack Yuan Shu, who disrespected the emperor.
After hearing this announcement, Sun Ce only frowned slightly.
It is normal for him to join Chen Yu in the crusade against Yuan Shu.
However, although he is now separated from Yuan Shu, they still have a friendship with each other after all.
This time he and Yuan Shu have not yet completely broken up. He has just taken back Sun Ce's former subordinates from Yuan Shu, and now he is turning his head to attack Yuan Shu.
In the eyes of the world, this is a bit too shameless.
"This matter is not urgent. Yilang can rest for a while in Wu County. Let me consider this matter again!"
Sun Ce did not refuse directly, but deep down in his heart, he did not want to agree.
After dealing with Wang Pu casually, he put the matter aside.
At the same time, Shouchun Nei on the other side.
Ever since Yuan Shu revealed his thoughts to his confidants, the entire atmosphere in Shouchun began to change quietly.
This is the day.
After Yuan Shu arrived at the Shouchun Yamen Office, he deliberately brought up the matter of the destiny of the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, behind the Shouchun Yamen Office, Zhang Jiong, who had previously presented the talisman, was still on the list.
As the Han Dynasty's destiny was being discussed, Zhang Jiong suddenly came out of the queue and held the talisman again in front of Yuan Shu's subordinates.
"My lord, I got this talisman by chance before. When I look at the talisman, there is a faint sign of destiny on it!"
"And this destiny refers to the Lord!"
Zhang Jiong was steadfast in his vows, and his tone was as powerful as his words.
At this time, Yuan Shu seemed a little puzzled when he heard these words. He sat on top of the chief and leaned forward slightly.
"Well, what does destiny mean to me?"
After Yuan Shu said these words, all his subordinates had different expressions.
The first one to stand up was Ji Ling.
"Lord, we all know now that the destiny of the Han Dynasty has been tilted, just like the destiny of the Zhou royal family was tilted to the Ying family of Qin, and the destiny of the Qin Ying clan was tilted to the Han Dynasty. Now that the destiny points to the lord, it is the Han Dynasty.
His destiny is tilted towards the Lord!"
I don’t know how long Ji Ling had been reciting these words behind his back, but he said them very smoothly and well-founded.
After hearing these words, Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, and the look on his face clearly said that he wanted to say more.
Yan Xiang's face below is a little dark.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Jiong. This man was clearly not a good minister.
That Ji Ling was also the one who mistook his master!
"My lord, you can inherit the destiny of the great Han!"
At this moment, Zhang Jiong, who was standing next to him, leaned over and bowed down.
Ji Ling followed him, and several people followed him.
Yuan Shu is in a good mood, but he still needs to go through some procedures this time.
Three invitations and three rejections!
Yuan Shu pretended to be a little displeased. He stood up and shook his head: "What are you talking about? My Yuan family has been living in Han Dynasty for a long time. How can I do such a rebellious act!"
"Don't talk anymore!"
Although Yuan Shu was scolding on the surface, his tone was extremely gentle and there was no tendency to get angry.
A trace of that, together with Yan Xiang and others, has already been understood to some extent.
At this time, Yan Xiang couldn't help it. He wanted to stand up and persuade Yuan Shu.
The other party clearly wants to replace Han.
However, after Yuan Shu scolded Ji Ling and the others, he immediately stood up and left without any intention of staying.
Under such circumstances, even though Yan Xiang wanted to say something, he had no chance.
He looked at Ji Ling and others.
"What you have done is all a mistake against our Lord. You really deserve to die!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiong had no reaction at all. After all, for him, if Yuan Shu could go further, he would naturally gain more benefits.
On the other hand, given the current situation.
Those who can replace the big man, the Yuan family will bear the brunt!
And the big man was already dead.
Regarding Yan Xiang's accusation, Ji Ling looked a little helpless. He didn't look deeply into some things.
However, he has been Yuan Shu's subordinate from the beginning. Since the other party has made his choice, he can only follow Yuan Shu to the dark side.
This in itself is his destiny!
If Yuan Shu can reach the top, it will be a great thing.
It’s okay if you can’t.
……
Just when Yuan Shu was busy making three requests and three rejections, he was preparing a series of matters before proclaiming himself emperor.
Within the merging states at the same time.
Lu Bu received Yuan Shu's letter early.
The other party invited him to Shouchun to express his congratulations on the alliance.
In his heart, Yuan Shu also made a good plan to get married to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was happy and interested in this.
Yuan Shu represents the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three nobles, and the Yuan family is synonymous with the top aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty in this era.
Lu Bu started out as a general, and he still wanted to get close to these aristocratic families.
After all, this is a very normal thing in this era.
It is precisely because of the reputation of the Yuan family that scholars all over the world rush to serve Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
You know, at the beginning, Xun Yu and Guo Jia both served under Yuan Shao.
However, Xun Yu saw Yuan Shao's true nature clearly and abandoned Yuan Shao immediately, and Guo Jia did the same.
Both of them had to serve Yuan Shao from the beginning, which shows how strong the influence of the Yuan family was in this era.
For Lu Bu, it was an honor to marry Yuan Shu, a member of the Yuan family.
After hearing Yuan Shu's letter, Lu Bu immediately wanted to send his daughter to Shouchun.
Moreover, for Lu Bu, he is in urgent need of an ally.
Yuan Shu's letter comes at the right time.
Now, Yuan Shao, who is in Jizhou, has begun to attack Bingzhou with a large army. Although he is brave and powerful, after all, he alone cannot withstand tens of thousands of troops.
After Yuan Shao attacked in many ways, he began to feel a little stretched.
Nowadays, Zhang Yang can only protect himself and can no longer be of much help to him.
Nowadays, it is too difficult to continue to establish a foothold in Bingzhou.
Now Yuan Shu invites him to Shouchun, which may be the best opportunity.
Lu Bu had some intention in mind and continued to guard Bingzhou this time. Yuan Shu, who was far away in Shouchun, could not help him.
If he continues to drag, he will not be able to withstand Yuan Shao's army.
Under such circumstances, it would be better to lead the army to evacuate Bingzhou and hand over Bingzhou to Yuan Shao. Under such circumstances, Yuan Shao would not rush to kill them all.
But he could also directly lead the current army through Hanoi, transfer to Sili, and then detour through Jingzhou to reach Shouchun.
When the time comes, he will merge with Yuan Shu, just as he was affiliated with Yuan Shu before. He will use the Yuan family's reputation, and Yuan Shu will use his military force.
The combination of the two is of great benefit to each other.
What's more, Yuan Shu has already promised that the two families will form a marriage this time, so that they can have more trust in each other.
With this in mind, Lu Bu summoned Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and other close confidants that day.
He expressed his intention to leave Bingzhou and join Yuan Shu.
After hearing this, Lu Bu's confidants didn't have much opinion.
Nowadays, the situation in Bingzhou is indeed like this. If we continue to be trapped, we can only hold on for a while longer!
Just like Gongsun Zan who was forced to stay in Youzhou by Yuan Shao.
