Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316 General Liu’s painstaking efforts

In the study, Yuan Shao ordered someone to greet him with wine, and sat opposite Xu You, expecting Xu You to solve his problems.

What Yuan Shao is most worried about now is the safety of Yuan Tan and his clansmen, but he is about to go to war with Liu He, but his family is captured by Liu He, which puts him in a very embarrassing situation.

Originally Bohai fell, Yuan Shao thought that Liu He would not embarrass his family, and Yuan Tan and others would return safely, but he didn't want to be placed under house arrest by Liu He, and he was not allowed to freely enter and exit Nanpi.

Today there was news in the city that Yuan Shao was indifferent even to his eldest son and his family when they were in danger, which shows that this man has a cold heart. If other subordinates or even ordinary soldiers are captured, then don't expect Yuan Shao to be able to save them.

But if you want to send people to save people, it means bowing your head to Liu He, and begging for help after losing the territory. Yuan Shao really can't swallow this breath, and Xu You's arrival can just save him from embarrassment.

After toasting and apologizing, Yuan Shaocai smiled and said, "I don't know how brother Ziyuan plans to rescue Xianfu?"

Xu You slowly put down the wine glass, frowning darkly, dissatisfied with this wine, although it is also a high-grade wine, but it is just an ordinary drink from Fan Yang, and it cannot be compared with the original brew of Dukangting's winery.

I heard that Yuan Shao's army has always been short of money and food, so it is really hard to judge whether Yuan Shao is not sincere enough, or if he really has no money to buy those good wines.

After all, the worst wine from Dukangting’s original factory costs five hundred dollars a tael, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people.

Every time Xu You thinks of this, he feels that he has taken advantage of it. In the past two years, he has not drank less good wine. As long as he goes to Dukang Pavilion, he can taste all kinds of new wine every day. Later, he smells the wine The smell is going to be drunk.

Since following Liu He, not to mention other benefits, just drinking has saved a lot of money.

Looking at Yuan Shao's situation again, Xu You felt refreshed, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and then stroked his beard and said, "Of course saving people requires a lot of money, travel expenses, etc., this is not a small expense!"

"Will it cost money?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and asked, "How much do you need?"

Xu You smiled faintly and held out a finger.

Yuan Shao tightened his grip on the wine glass, thought about Han Fu's price, and asked, "100 million?"

Xu You shook his head.

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that Yuan's face is still big, and Xu You is nostalgic, not overly greedy, and his demeanor is much closer, he said with a smile: "[-] yuan, I will pay!"

"No no no..." Xu You shook his head again and sighed.

"It's not [-], could it be [-]?" Yuan Shao's eyes widened, the more he felt that Xu You was reliable.

"No!" Xu You had no choice but to hook his fingers and said calmly, "It's 1000 million!"

"What did you say?" Yuan Shao was startled, looked at Xu You in disbelief, anger gradually crept up his face, and said in a deep voice, "Xu Ziyuan, you really think I'm a Korean festival, so you can't be deceived?"

"Your brother's words are wrong!" Xu You didn't care, and sighed: "Xianfu is trapped in the enemy's camp and will soon become a prisoner under his rank. I came here to save him from being humiliated. You should think twice at the beginning! "

boom--

Yuan Shao slammed the table with a livid face, and said with a sneer, "I heard that Han Fu only paid 400 million yuan to save his life, and returned more than half of it. I would like to hear, how do you evaluate the 1000 million yuan?"

Xu You pinched his beard with two fingers, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "First, the identities are different! At the beginning, the prestige was much higher than that of Wen Jie, and he was the leader of the Dong League, the official worshiped the general of the chariot, and the fourth generation Sangong is a prominent family in the Central Plains, so the value of the disciples of the Yuan Sect is naturally higher than that of the Han family."

"Huh!" Yuan Shao snorted slightly, although he was dissatisfied with Xu You's price increase, but he was quite satisfied with this evaluation, and said in a deep voice, "What else?"

"Secondly," Xu You said with a smile, "the situation is different: Han Fubi was the lord of a state in the past and had the right to make decisions, but now Xianfu is trapped in a tight siege, with no possessions of his own, and he may have power at any time." Murder is much more dangerous than Han Fu's family."

"Liu Boxing!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth for a while, and said in a deep voice, "This son is really hateful."

"No, no, I misunderstood at first!" Xu You waved his hand and said, "General Liu did not feel sorry for Xianfu and his family members. No difference."

Yuan Shao was furious: "Then why didn't he let him go?"

"This is General Liu's painstaking efforts!" Xu You signaled Yuan Shao not to be angry, and sighed: "Now that the princes are standing side by side, and the bandits are rising together, if the city is broken, they will drive Xianfu and the others out of the city. The army is in chaos, who will come? If an accident happens, who will bear it?"

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "So, I have to thank Liu He?"

"Oh, this is also forced by the situation!" Xu You said: "Now Xianfu and the others are safe and sound, but they are not free all day long, depressed, and the daily food and drink costs are not small, and the money must be compensated by the original. "

"What?" Yuan Shao's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu You in disbelief: "Liu He, he, he, he...how can he be so stingy?"

Xu You shook his head and said: "General Liu has newly acquired Jizhou, exempted the people from taxes for one year, and rewarded the armed forces to appease the people. The treasury is already empty, so the supply will not last long. month, they are about to cut off the confession."

"Break the confession?" Yuan Shao was taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Xu Youfu sighed and said: "General Liu has sent an order to Guan Yu that if Benchu ​​doesn't come to redeem people within half a month, then Xianfu and the others must be self-reliant. Sweeping the streets, picking up dung..."

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shao jumped up against the table, with blue veins on his forehead, and roared angrily: "Too much bullying, too much bullying!"

Xu You nodded and said: "Guan Yunchang is cold and arrogant, decisive in killing, and there is a reckless man named Zhang Fei in the city. The two brothers are not forgiving. I heard about this, so I hurried to discuss it with Benchu. You should come sooner." Make a decision!"

When Yuan Shao heard Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his complexion changed immediately. Thinking of the situation before the Hulao Pass, fine sweat broke out on his forehead. The indifference of the one and the irascibility of the other annoyed them, and the Yuan family will bear it.

Xu You observed Yuan Shao's expression, and sighed: "Not to mention whether Xianfu and the others will suffer, as the eldest son of the Yuan family, if he sweeps the streets and repairs the city like peasants and servants, or even picks up dung to survive, he will definitely be a blessing to the world. People ridicule, how will they honor the lintel in the future?"

Yuan Shao suddenly jumped into a rage, and roared: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Even if Xianfu commits suicide, he will not be humiliated like this!"

Xu You stood up, walked in front of Yuan Shao, and said slowly: "Even if Xianfu would rather die than surrender, how would the other clansmen deal with themselves? At first, didn't they forget the younger siblings and several beautiful concubines, and the fact that they were only ten years old? Old Shang'er?"

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, his face changed drastically, he gritted his teeth and said, "Liu He, how dare he?"

Xu You said solemnly: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, the situation is unclear, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everything is unpredictable. Don't forget the tragic event of Luoyang extermination."

Dengdengdeng-

Yuan Shao took a few steps back, holding on to the table before he could barely stand still. His face turned pale, and he pointed at Xu You, took a few deep breaths, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you... you come and settle the score!"
