Chapter 156 Everyone Wants to Come and Take Advantage

Seeing Yuan Shao and Han Fu's embarrassed faces, Liu Ce quickly drew big cakes for them.

"These two things are not in a hurry. I will give them three years. As long as these two things are done well, I am willing to give the land of Jizhou as much as possible."

Yuan Shao and Han Fu's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this.

"The general is serious?"

Han Fu looked at Liu Ce innocently and asked, while Yuan Shao looked suspicious and didn't believe what he said.

Therefore, Liu Ce handed Yuan Shao the written document.

"Didn't the imperial court appoint brother Benchu ​​as the prefect of Bohai? This is handed over to the document. To show my sincerity, I am willing to hand over Bohai County first."

Yuan Shao took the document and read it three times, but still couldn't believe it was true.

You must know that he and Han Fu have already occupied the northwest area of ​​Jizhou. If Liu Ce returns Bohai County in full, then the entire northeast of Jizhou will be theirs.

After the northwest and northeast are connected, the northern part of Jizhou is the boundary of Yuan Shao and Han Fu.

How dare Liu Ce give them half of Jizhou?
This is too crazy, right?
Therefore, the shrewd Yuan Shao was completely confused at this moment.

How did Yuan Shao and Han Fu know Liu Ce's intentions? He is now focusing all his energy on how to capture Qingzhou and occupy the border of Henan.

At this time, most of the gentry in Hebei had taken refuge in him, and most of the generals and ministers in Jizhou were also raided.

Now Liu Ce handed over the north of Jizhou to them, that is to say, he arranged a housekeeping job for them.

Yuan Shao could recruit troops, but Liu Ce predicted that they would not dare to play any tricks.

After all, Liu Yu is still in charge of most of the territory of Youzhou and tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

If Han Fu and Yuan Shao suddenly attacked Liu Ce, then Liu Yu would definitely not stand idly by.

At that time, they will face a passive situation where the two armies are attacking from the north and the south, and it will only be a matter of time before the army is defeated.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu might not have thought that Liu Ce could come here.

But at this moment, they were all stunned by Liu Ce's generosity, so they hadn't figured out the serious relationship for a while.

Afterwards, Liu Ce briefly chatted with the two of them before sending them off in person.

Not long after the two left, Que Chao suddenly came in and reported that someone from Chenliu had sent a letter.

Liu Ce was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then quickly asked Que Chao to call the messenger in.

The person who came in was dressed in blue and black, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He didn't look like a good guy at first glance.

So, Liu Ce lazily leaned back on the prefect's chair, then gave the man a cold look and asked coldly.

"Who is coming?"

Upon hearing this, the man quickly replied with clasped fists and a respectful salute.

"I'm going to lower my rank. Governor Shi Wanghu of Yanzhou pays homage to General Liu!"

Liu Ce thought for a long time, but he never remembered that there was such a person as Wang Gong in the Three Kingdoms.

Since he is not a famous person, there is no need to talk nonsense with him.

"Why did the governor of Yanzhou come to Jizhou? If you have something to say, tell me, the general is busy!"

After hearing this, Wang Gong hurried up and presented a brocade book to Liu Ce with both hands.

"General, this is a letter from my family, Liu Zhoumu, please read it."

Liu Ce frowned slightly and glanced at it, then motioned for Que Chao to bring it to him.

Que Chao stepped forward to take the brocade book and handed it to Liu Ce, and then consciously exited the hall.

Liu Ce knew what Liu Dai wanted to say with a simple glance.

"Have you, Liu Zhoumu, eaten too much recently?"

Wang Gong was taken aback when he heard this.

The letter didn't mention anything about eating, why did Liu Ce ask this?

"Back to the general, my lord has a fair appetite, and he doesn't eat much on weekdays..."

Wang Gong replied carefully, but he didn't expect Liu Ce to sneer.

"I can't see it? Your Liuzhou Mu must have a very good appetite and eat a lot, otherwise how could he be so full and meddle in the border of Hebei?"

It turned out that Liu Dai mentioned two things in the letter.

The first thing is to ask him to participate in the defeat of Dong, and the second thing is to ask him to return Hanoi County to Wang Kuang.

Liu Ce didn't even think about whether to participate in the anti-Dong incident, but this guy actually dared to mention the incident in Hanoi.

Moreover, Liu Ce also understood in the letter that this anti-Dong alliance was actually initiated by Wang Kuang's organization.

Liu Dai was just one of the responders. He also mentioned other responders in his letter, such as Yuzhou Governor Kong Niao, Chenliu Governor Zhang Miao, Dongjun Governor Qiao Mao, Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi, and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin. , Xingfenwu General Cao Cao, etc. have all led their troops to gather in Suanzao.

In addition, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, raised his troops to the north, and planned to join forces with the later general Yuan Shu in Luyang.

The names of Han Fu of Jizhou and Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai Sea, are also on it.

Liu Ce didn't know until he saw this letter. It seems that Yuan Shao and Han Fu still kept a hand for themselves.

So, they said so many things just now, but they didn't mention anything about the anti-Dong alliance.

There must be something hidden here!

You all want to come over and take advantage, right?
Then don't blame me for being rude!

After Liu Ce thought of this, the coldness in his eyes suddenly became a little brighter.

Wang Gong was already nervous after hearing Liu Ce's words, but now seeing Liu Ce's murderous eyes, he was so frightened that his legs went limp.

"General Liu, I think you have misunderstood what our lord meant. He only meant to join the two families in defeating Dong. How can we have a conflict with our own family first when our righteousness is great?"

Liu Ce smiled coldly after hearing this, then looked at Wang Gong impatiently and said.

"Wang Changshi, right? You don't want to fool me with righteousness! Nothing in this world is more than a word of reason! Let's restrain ourselves today and not lose our temper. How about we talk about reason?"

Hearing this, Wang Gong really felt like crying!

loose the temper?
Am I losing my temper with you?
But you'd better be a reasonable person, otherwise I really won't have any good way to deal with you.

"Yes, yes, there is a word of reason in all major and minor matters in the world. Then the official will show his ugliness and say something first! This Lord Wang Kuang is the governor of Hedong personally ordered by the court, so why is it unreasonable for him to go back to the land of Hedong? where? Please tell me, the general.”

After hearing this, Liu Ce chuckled, then looked at Wang Gong and replied slowly.

"What a great governor of Hanoi! Then he is very incompetent as the governor of Hedong! This Hanoi county was originally commanded by Master Ding Yuan, and he led his troops to take it from the hands of the Dong thief. After Lu Bu rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, the Dong thief took over again Chengjun, and then the general sent troops to fight back. Isn’t that right?”

After hearing these words, Wang Gong felt that there was something to refute, so he nodded slowly and said yes.

Immediately, Liu Ce asked immediately.

"Excuse me, where was Wang Taishou at that time? Where is your Master Liu?"

Wang Gong was speechless when asked, and for a while still didn't know how to refute.

At this time, he could only bite the truth and say.

"But no matter what, this Hanoi County should belong to Mr. Wang Kuang. Is this correct?"

Liu Ce nodded slowly after hearing this.

"You are right if you say that, but my army has been fighting hard for many days and has suffered countless casualties. We can't work in vain, right?"

When Wang Gong heard that there was something going on, he quickly asked with a smile.

"Listen to what your Excellency says, is there anything left to discuss about Hanoi?"
