Chapter 520: Envoy Yuan Comes to Beijing

On a wilderness that can be seen to the bottom at a glance, a big tree stands alone.

I saw a five-foot-long eagle with its wings spread out, and two hooked claws grasping the branches. It was crowing, and suddenly woke up, as if it saw the prey.

Sa! The eagle is full of energy, its wings spread out instantly, the wind blows against its face, and it flies to the south with the gaze of a predator.

In the city of Luoyang, the General's Mansion.

"Where is the general?"

Jia Xu said with a serious expression.

"The general is resting. I don't know what Mr. Wen He has to do. Otherwise, don't bother the general." Guan Hai stopped him.

"Zi Fu, hurry up and report, Hebei emergency information!"

Seeing Jia Xu's solemn expression, Guan Hai didn't dare to take it lightly, he hurried inside to report, and strode out not long after.

"Mr. Wenhe, the general invites you in."

Jia Xu walked in immediately, only to see Liu Ye just got up, wearing only a thin shirt, looking sleepy.

Jia Xu apologized slightly: "It is really a crime to disturb the general's rest, but this news is very important, Xu really has to disturb the general."

"Well, tell me, the military situation is urgent."

"Yuan Shao led the army to besiege Yi Jing. Gongsun Zan sent his son, Gongsun Fan, to ask for help from Zhang Yan in Heishan, but it was a step too late. Yi Jing had already been breached by Yuan Jun. Gongsun Zan set himself on fire in despair. Now Youzhou is completely owned by Yuan Shao. The second son, Yuan Xi, is the governor of Youzhou, and Tian Feng and Gao Lan are the civil and military assistants."

"Gongsun Zan lost?" Liu Ye's drowsiness disappeared immediately after hearing this.

"That's right, now that Yuan Shao is occupying Youzhou, firstly, he has a place to give birth to horses, and secondly, he doesn't have to worry about the future. I'm afraid that he will try to plot something wrong in the future." Jia Xu said deeply.

"Well, the Yuan family in Runan are all traitors. First, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor without authorization. This Yuan Shao is not a peaceful person."

The defeat of Gongsun Zan is of great significance. It marks the dominance of Yuan Shao's family in Hebei. Among the states in Hebei, Jizhou has the greatest potential for war. Because Jizhou is densely populated and there were no machines in ancient times, the number of people represents productivity. Bingzhou and Youzhou have a bitter and cold environment, while Jizhou has vast arable land and a prosperous economy. Based on this, Yuan Shao is basically difficult to deal with, and after obtaining Youzhou, firstly, he can produce war horses, and secondly, there is no one to restrain him, so it is inevitable to grow stronger.

"No, restraints must be made!" Liu Ye shouted as he paced back and forth in the hall.

"That's right, and the military spies learned that Yuan Shao seems to have secretly sent envoys to Linzi."

"Linzi?" Liu Ye's eyes were bright, "Could it be that Yuan Shao wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao and put pressure on our army together?"

"Yuan Shao also has many capable people under his command. Ju Gongyu and Tian Yuanhao have unique vision and are good at military strategy; Xu You and Guo Tu are quick-witted, and they are not incompetent in Fengji and Trial." Jia Xu judged: "I'm afraid That's exactly what Yuan Shao meant, after all, it's a fool's dream to think of defeating our army with his own strength."

Among the princes in the world, the most powerful is Liu Ye, who occupies Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sili, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, and Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, occupying three of the thirteen states in the world, and Liu Bei is Liu Ye's vassal , vaguely occupying half of the world.

In addition, Yuan Shao occupied the second prefecture of Youji, Cao Cao occupied the second prefecture of Qingxu and Jiujiang County of Yangzhou, Sun Cexiong occupied the six prefectures of Jiangdong, and Liu Yan and Liu Biao each occupied one prefecture.

"Gather everyone and discuss this matter!"

Soon, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Xun You and others gathered in the General's Mansion.

"Someone is still worried about one thing." Guo Jia frowned.

"Fengxiao, please tell me."

Guo Jia said bluntly: "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao used to be the staff of the old General He Jin's mansion, and they have a close relationship. It is said that Yuan Shao secretly instructed Liu Biao to do Sun Jian's death."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were one north and one south. At that time, Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's valiant general, and he was always able to attack the city. However, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao were close, so Yuan Shao secretly instructed Liu Biao to kill Sun Jian.

"If Yuan Shao not only formed an alliance with Cao Cao, but also formed an alliance with Liu Biao's three families to attack our army together, and divide the land among the three families," Guo Jia said with a sullen expression: "In this way, our army will definitely be exhausted."

Xun You nodded worriedly, and said anxiously: "Yes, now that our army is the only one, the other princes must be afraid. If Yuan Shao takes the lead in person, with the appeal of the fourth and third members of the Yuan family, it is enough to form an alliance."

While many counselors were analyzing, Guan Hai suddenly broke in.

"General, Yuan Shao's envoy came to Luoyang at Fengji and is currently in the post house, requesting to see His Majesty."

Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment: "I haven't gone to find Yuan Shao yet, so he sent it to my door? If that's the case, tomorrow morning, I'm going to see what he has to say!"

Fengji was ordered by Yuan Shao to come to Luoyang, and immediately took the money allocated by Yuan Shao, and visited Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Ma Chao, Xu Huang and other Liu Ye's military and Chinese soldiers overnight, but they were all rejected. Fengji was shut out.

Although Feng Ji's plan to visit Liu Ye's military and Chinese military failed, he was not discouraged, but continued to visit Cai Yong, Fu Shou, Tang Mao, Yang Zhen and other famous people in Luoyang City, which can be regarded as an achievement.

On the second day, Fengji got up early in the morning, changed into a brand new robe and overshirt after taking a bath, and walked slowly to the palace under the guidance of the servant of Huangmen.

Liu Bian wanted to yawn but was afraid that the officials would see him, so he usually covered his face with long sleeves while drinking, and then he yawned, then put down his sleeves, and said loudly: "If you have any important matters to report, just say it .”

"Report to Your Majesty." Dressed in a royal uniform, Liu Ye with a dignified demeanor came out and said, "Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, sent an envoy to meet His Majesty at Fengji."

"Oh? Yuan Shao?" Liu Bian became interested: "Where is Fengji?"

"The minister is here." Fengji came out, cupped his hands and said: "The minister, Fengji, by the order of my lord Yuan Jizhou, is here to meet the emperor. In addition, I will offer ten pairs of jade and one hundred plants of gold. I wish your majesty a long life and a healthy life." install."

Liu Bian nodded happily and said, "Okay, yes, Yuan Jizhou is worthy of being the queen of the fourth generation and the third prince, and he is indeed loyal. However, Mr. Yuan Tu came from a long way this time, and I'm afraid he has something important to do, so you might as well talk about it."

Although Liu Bian had no interest in political affairs, he was educated by the great Confucian Lu Zhi in his early years, so he was naturally not a fool.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise." Feng Ji bowed his head and said, "I came here this time just at the order of my lord to pamper the three masters of Xianbei, Bu Dugen, Ke Bineng, Tuoba Yu, and Master Wuhuan. Please ask the imperial court to issue a gold seal to appease the public and demonstrate the spirit of our great country."

"Give a golden seal?"
