Pei County.

County Office.

Liu Bei gently placed the carefully crafted secret report on the table, sighed slightly, his expression slightly complicated.

Liu Bei is a person who doesn't show his emotions, but Guan Zhang has followed Liu Bei for a long time, and he has already seen that Liu Bei is very angry.

Guan Yu immediately asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Liu Bei sighed slightly, and pushed the secret report forward: "You guys have a look."

"Here." Guan Yu responded, took a step forward, and picked up the secret letter.

Zhang Fei also took two steps forward, came to Guan Yu's side, and looked over together.

"Hua Yu destroyed Wuhuan again?" Guan Yu just glanced at it, and his face changed drastically, and the hand holding the secret letter also trembled slightly.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also knew Guan Yu very well, knowing that Guan Yu was extremely annoyed.

Liu Bei took a look at Guan Yu, and sighed slightly: "Hua Ziyi has already captured the land of Hedong and Bingzhou, and even destroyed Wuhuan, which has shocked the grasslands."

"In the short term, the grassland ministries will never dare to go south again, so Hua Ziyi will not suffer from the northern border."

"It's hard to say what kind of actions Hua Ziyi will make next."

Guan Yu took a deep breath, barely suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said: "Then Hua Ziyi is an ambitious person, and he will definitely not be idle in the future."

"Wang Yun was killed, Lu Bu was expelled, Ma Teng and Han Sui occupied Chang'an, and caused chaos in the Guanzhong area."

"If I were Hua Ziyi, I would definitely send my troops south to attack Chang'an, drive away Ma Teng and Han Sui, learn from Dong Zhuo, and coerce the emperor to command the princes."

Liu Bei shook his head lightly: "Hua Ziyi's actions are unpredictable."

"Besides, although Ma Teng and Han Sui occupied the Guanzhong area, they did not commit any heinous crimes. Hua Ziyi sent troops, I'm afraid it is unknown."

"If I were Hua Ziyi, I would definitely intervene in the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and take a share in Youzhou or Jizhou."

Youzhou?

Jizhou?
Guan Yu was originally a very smart person, just now he was biased in his judgment because of anger, but now that he was woken up by Liu Bei, he immediately realized it.

"That's right, big brother is right." Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, "If Hua Yu helps Gongsun Zan, then Yuan Shao will be defeated; otherwise, Gongsun Zan will be defeated."

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu sighed slightly, and looked towards Youzhou and Jizhou in the northeast: "If my younger brother is Hua Yu, he will definitely participate in the affairs of Youji."

Zhang Fei said: "If Huayu gains benefits in Youzhou or Jizhou, wouldn't he be even stronger?"

"Brother, it's not my younger brother talking about you."

"For the first time, Tao Qian was trying to test the reaction of the Xuzhou gentry, and the eldest brother refused, which is reasonable."

"However, five days ago, Tao Qian held the great seal of Xuzhou and wanted to hand over Xuzhou to Eldest Brother again. All the nobles in Xuzhou agreed. Why did Eldest Brother refuse?"

"Otherwise, if the eldest brother wins Xuzhou, he will not be much worse than that Hua Ziyi."

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Yide, you don't understand."

"Last time, Tao Qian asked Xuzhou to give it to me, but I refused."

"This time, Tao Qian offered the great seal of Xuzhou. If I accept it, what will others think of me?"

"So, if I want to quickly gain the hearts and minds of Xuzhou, so that the gentry in Xuzhou can support me, I can only refuse."

Zhang Fei sighed: "It's just that, in this way, I don't know if I have a chance to get Xuzhou again."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yide, I have a feeling that Xuzhou must be mine."

"Tao Qian made Xuzhou fail, and the battle situation in Yanzhou gradually favored Cao Cao. How could Tao Qian not be worried?"

"Tao Qian's body is already old and sick. If he keeps being so frightened and worried, he will soon be unable to hold on."

"I have already asked the doctor who treated Tao Qian in private, and he said that Tao Qian can't last long."

"Before Tao Qian dies, he will definitely entrust Xuzhou to me again."

"At that time, it will be logical for me to accept Xuzhou again."

"So that's the case." Zhang Fei scratched his head and muttered softly, "It's just that, isn't it a little too despicable to do so?"

"Yide, what nonsense are you talking about?" Guan Yu immediately scolded, "Brother is the only clan member of the Han Dynasty who is running around to revitalize the Han Dynasty, and is the only hope of the Han Dynasty."

"If the elder brother can't quickly control the land of a state, how can he fight against the heroes of the world, and when will the Han Dynasty be revitalized?"

"What's more, Yuan Shao won Jizhou, Gongsun won Youzhou, and Cao Cao won Yanzhou. Which one came in a fair way?"

"In troubled times, upright people will inevitably suffer."

"There is no other person like Big Brother who cares about the world and puts the people first."

Zhang Fei disagreed with this sentence.

According to the news brought by Liu Bei's secret agents, Huayu regained Hedong and Bingzhou, and destroyed Wuhuan, so he took the world as his heart.

In Hedong, Hua Yu paid light taxes and taxes, encouraged farming and rewarded fertility.

For the soldiers who have made great contributions, they are exempted from taxes. This is based on the people.

However, Zhang Fei knew that Liu Bei was extremely jealous of Hua Yu, and Guan Yu hated Hua Yu, so he dared not speak out.

The news of Bingzhou and Grassland also reached Yuan Shu.

When he got the news, Yuan Shu was playing outside the city with Feng Shi.

After reading the secret report, Yuan Shu didn't react, but said indifferently: "Hua Ziyi is really powerful, no wonder he was able to kill Yuan Benchu ​​so badly."

After hearing this, Feng asked, "General, is the champion Hou Huayu?"

Yuan Shu nodded: "It is this person."

"Hua Yu has a grudge against Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Benchu ​​and I can't compete. Speaking of which, Hua Yu and I can be regarded as allies."

Feng said with a smile: "In this case, why doesn't the general send envoys to Bingzhou to form an alliance with Huayu?"

"Bingzhou and Jizhou are on the border, and with Huayu watching, Yuan Shao must not dare to send troops south easily."

"In this way, the general will first take Yuzhou, then seek Xuzhou, and finally occupy Yangzhou, and he will be the number one prince in the world."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful." Yuan Shu was overjoyed, "Madam is really beautiful and intelligent, she is resourceful and resourceful."

"In my opinion, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, and Lu Fan are all inferior to Madam."

"Master, you're ridiculous." After being praised by Yuan Shu, Feng's pretty face blushed slightly, "It's just that Hua Yu personally supervised the killing of Yuan's family. If the general forms an alliance with him, I'm afraid..."

"Hahaha..." Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "It's just a woman's opinion that Madam said so."

"In troubled times, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies."

"Besides, this matter was done by Thief Dong, and Hua Yu was just following orders."

"Now that Thief Dong is dead and Hua Yu has left Chang'an, this matter has been taken care of."

Feng Shi nodded and said: "In this case, the general can send Yuan Yin to Bingzhou tomorrow."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and shook his head lightly: "No, this time I will send Qiao Rui as my envoy."
