Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

In the end, Xu You even pointed out that if Yuan Shao was really scrupulous, he could keep this matter a little more secret and make it a natural disaster, and everything would naturally have nothing to do with Yuan Shao.

For a moment, Yuan Shao was really moved, because for many days, none of his subordinates could help him think of a way to deal with Li Yi. If he left him alone, I'm afraid there would be a tragedy in the end.

In this case, it seems feasible to go all out and fight with Li Yi, because he is going to die anyway

After struggling for a while, Yuan Shao still couldn't make up his mind. He was drinking alone on the top of the city, not only to commemorate the dead in Qingzhou, but also thinking about whether to ignore it and dig down the embankment of the Yellow River.

It's just that after struggling for a long time, Yuan Shao couldn't get the answer.

"Father!"

Yuan Shao was absent-minded, when he suddenly heard someone calling, he turned his head and saw his second son Yuan Xi walking over.

Yuan Shao was already in a bad mood, but when he saw that Yuan Xi was even worse, he immediately frowned and said displeasedly: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb you, why are you here?"

Because of Yuan Tan's poor performance in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has been very strict with his sons recently. Yuan Xi was very frightened. Seeing his father's staring eyes, he bowed hurriedly and said, "To tell my father, it's not because my son is reckless, but because I have something urgent to do." Passed back from Qingzhou, Master Ju asked me to tell my father quickly."

Hearing that Ju Shou sent Yuan Xi to come, Yuan Shao frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Yuan Shao, and replied cautiously: "Tian Kai didn't fight Li Yi, he wants to take the initiative to withdraw from Qingzhou, and Li Yi also."

"what!"

Yuan Shao turned his head fiercely, interrupted Yuan Xi's words, stared at him and said, "What did you say, Tian Kai didn't fight Li Yi?"

Yuan Xi replied cautiously: "That's true. According to the news just sent back, Tian Kai is preparing a ship. He wants to return to Youzhou by water, and it seems that he will take a lot of people with him."

"How is this possible? Gongsun Zan has always been defiant. How could he surrender Qingzhou?"

Yuan Shao had an unbelievable expression on his face, with anger in his eyes. When Gongsun Zan fought against him, no matter how strong or weak he was, his attitude was stinky and tough. Even if he knew he would suffer, he still dragged him along, which made Yuan Shao disgusted. .

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's mind, even if Gongsun Zan knew that Qingzhou could not be defended, Gongsun Zan would let Tian Kai bite off a piece of flesh from Li Yi.

But now Tian Kai doesn't fight anymore, what's the matter?

Could it be that Gongsun Zan thought that Li Yi was going to be stronger than Yuan Shao!

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he had already started gnashing his teeth.

Yuan Xi originally wanted to explain, but seeing Yuan Shao's angry look, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao's anger turned to anger, but his mind was always clear. He quickly thought of a possibility, and suddenly asked: "Could it be that the news of Yan Rou and others reached Qingzhou?"

Yuan Xi nodded quickly and said, "According to the news sent by the spies, Li Yi and Tian Kai had already sharpened their swords, but they met someone before the battle, and then the attitudes of the two sides changed drastically. According to some information later, It should be Qi Zhou that Li Yi saw, that person is Liu Yu's former subordinate, and now he is with Yan Rou, plotting Gongsun Zan together."

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

As soon as Yuan Xi said, Yuan Shao immediately guessed the reason. It must be that Yan Rou and the others wanted to show Li Yi a favor, and then they found someone to contact Li Yi, and together they attacked Gongsun Zan, but they didn't know what went wrong and they messed up the matter. .

Yuan Shao could understand Yan Rou's motives. After all, Yan Rou contacted him in Youzhou, contacting Li Yi, and it was Qingzhou who had the influence. This does not seem to be a conflict. Anyway, everyone's goal is Gongsun Zan, so even if Yuan Shao knows I won't say anything about Yan Rou.

But the key point is that those people actually messed up what was supposed to be a certainty, and directly cheated Yuan Shao.

Tian Kai's voluntary withdrawal from Qingzhou means that Li Yi does not need to spend energy on post-war governance and reconstruction after taking over Qingzhou. Qingzhou can supply Li Yi with money, food and soldiers in the shortest time.

Yuan Shao was already a bit weaker than Li Yi, but now that Li Yi has obtained Qingzhou, everything is intact, and the gap between the two sides has widened again.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he couldn't breathe well, he couldn't help but hammered hard on the female wall, then gritted his teeth, and looked at the clever plan Xu You sent.

Yuan Shao attaches great importance to reputation, and wants everyone in the world to say that he is benevolent and righteous, but let alone a hero like him, even an honest person will go crazy if he is cornered.

Seeing Yuan Shao's unkind expression, Yuan Xi was very scared, but he didn't dare to leave before the matter was finished, and carefully took out a piece of paper from his cuff, saying: "There is one more thing, it was sent by Li Yi's people. , Said it was the general's order, to inform the world, father's cooperation is needed."

"Let me cooperate, what is he, a countryman dares to order me, does he already think he is the emperor!"

Yuan Shao was already very angry, but when he heard this, he felt his blood surge up, so much so that his hair was about to stand on end.

In desperation, Yuan Shao began to vent his anger, pointing at Yuan Xi and scolding: "You don't just refuse this kind of thing, but you come to ask me why, don't you even understand this point!"

Yuan Xi's expression was awkward, and he could only answer truthfully: "It's what the military adviser said. This matter has a lot to do with it. I dare not make decisions on my own. My father must make a decision in person."

After all, Jushou had some face, Yuan Shao swallowed his saliva, did not continue to curse, grabbed the piece of paper from Yuan Xi's hand, and was about to see if Li Yi spit out ivory from the dog's mouth, but after his eyes fell, Yuan Shao The anger on his face was quickly replaced by an extremely complicated expression.

Yuan Xi secretly looked at his father, he was very curious about Yuan Shao's reaction to this.

Yuan Xi had read the content before coming here. From the heart, he admired Li Yi's attitude towards the outside world. After all, he is also a Hanchen, and all men have blood.

However, from the perspective of their own interests, it is another matter, especially when they are in the north, it is very convenient to contact the alien races in the north to do something.

Along the way, Yuan Xi was thinking about this question, weighed it several times, and still couldn't figure out what the right response was. In the end, he could only seek the answer from Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Xi didn't know that this matter was also embarrassing for Yuan Shao.

Just now Yuan Shao was angry and really planned to ask someone to dig the Yellow River, but after seeing the content on the paper, the idea of ​​breaking the pot and smashing it was quickly extinguished.

The matter in Qingzhou can be resolved peacefully, the key is not Tian Kai, but Li Yi himself stopped.

It was because many of the people Yan Rou and the others recruited were foreigners from the north.

If Yuan Shao was Li Yi, he would definitely attack Tian Kai and make him worse. As for Youzhou, the alien races are just clowns, even if they are a temporary disaster, they are nothing to the whole big man.

But Li Yi's mind seemed unable to turn a corner, and he didn't give in at all on this point. Could it be that he couldn't tell the pros and cons of it?

Or did Li Yi naively think that if he let go of Gongsun Zan this time, Gongsun Zan would be able to stand by him in the future?

With a sneer in his heart, he silently mocked Li Yi's stupidity, but Yuan Shao never looked at the poisonous plan on the table again.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Shao rubbed the paper in his hand and threw it into the small stove beside him. The flames rose up immediately, and then quickly extinguished.

Yuan Xi couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help asking: "Father, how should we deal with this matter?"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Li Yi, Qiu Kouye, I need to teach you what to do!"

Yuan Xi was hesitant to speak, and this truth was naturally understood, but what he wanted to know was Yuan Shao's opinion on this matter.

However, in the current situation, it is obviously impossible to ask.

"The son knows, and the son will tell the military division what the father wants later."

Yuan Xi bowed, and then wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Yuan Shao just two steps away.

"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to explain."

Yuan Xi stopped immediately, waiting for Yuan Shao's order.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Shao picked up the poisonous plan on the table, took a last look, and threw it into the charcoal stove beside him. Looking at the dancing flames, he said in a deep voice: "Go and pass the order on my behalf. Tell Xu You to go north immediately to contact Gongsun Zan, I am willing to clear up the past with Gongsun Zan, and join forces to fight against Li Yi, let Xu You make it happen!"

Yuan Xi was taken aback for a moment, with puzzlement in his eyes.
