After Wen Chou returned, Yuan Shao looked at the sky and murmured to himself, "It depends on Yan Liang!"

"Ah snee!" At this time, Yan Liang, who had bandaged him, lay on the bed and suddenly sneezes.

"What's wrong?" Yan Liang scratched his head inexplicably, and then ordered, "No, we set off and return to Yecheng immediately!"

Immediately, Yan Liang led these less than 5,000 remaining soldiers toward Yecheng.

...

"What?!!!" Outside Shangdang County, in Yuan Shu's army camp, Yuan Shu was furious after reading Yuan Shao's reply and threw the letter to the ground, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This Yuan Benchu ​​is simply a delusional, angering me to death! I'm so angry!"

"?" Yan Xiang picked up the letter inexplicably and browsed it.

After seeing it, Yan Xiang frowned. He didn't know whether he should hand over the 40,000 troops to Yuan Shao. If he handed over, then Yuan Shu would be fish on the board and let Yuan Shao slaughter it! But if he doesn't hand over, there would be no place for these 40,000 people to settle down. This is a dilemma!

"Huh!" Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "Yan Xiang, what should I do?"

"Master, this subordinate doesn't know what to do. If he handed over the 40,000 troops, then Yuan Shao wanted to repent, and we didn't even have the strength to resist. If we didn't hand over, our food and grass would be exhausted. Now these 40,000 people are about to be out of food. What should we do? The lord needs to decide in person!" Yan Xiang shook his head.

"Yan Xiang, do you think we are like this?" Yuan Shu thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, "We will now capture Shangdang and occupy Shangdang City, and then discuss the conditions with Yuan Benchu!"

"Lord, this is inappropriate!" Yan Xiang immediately shook his head and denied it.

"Why?" Yuan Shu was unknown.

"Lord, although our army has 40,000 soldiers, all the soldiers were exhausted when they traveled a long distance. How could they fight again? Shangdang is also a strong city, and there are many soldiers guarding the city. How can our 40,000 tired soldiers attack this strong city?" Yan Xiang slowly explained to Yuan Shu.

"Hey! It's not right to be divorced now, nor is it not to be divorced! What can Ruzhi do? What can Ruzhi do?!" Yuan Shu sighed.

"Lord, why don't we send a letter to Yuan Shao first and see what Yuan Shao's attitude is. Then we will make a decision!" Yan Xiang said.

"Is this... OK?" Yuan Shu hesitated.

"No problem, lord, just write that our army does not lack food and grass, and it is not necessary to rely on Bingzhou to settle down. At that time, when we came to Bingzhou for brotherhood, we came to Bingzhou to help him and Yuan Shao resist foreign enemies! If we had no soldiers and horses in our hands, how could we resist the fierce Qiang and Xiongnu?" Yan Xiang said with a smile.

"Okay! Just write as you said!" Yuan Shu nodded, had been to pen, ink, paper and ink, and started writing.

"Come, pass this letter to Yuan Shao!"

...

"Report to the lord, then Yuan Shu has replied!" A few days later, Yuan Shao received a reply from Yuan Shu.

"Hahaha! Highway, highway, you say this, can I not know what's going on with you?" After reading the letter, Yuan Shao laughed, "You said you are thinking about brotherhood? Bullshit! Didn't you still suppress me by saying that you were the legitimate son? Resisting foreign enemies? You even fart. I have an army on my own, can you use it? Have food and grass? Then you can eat your own food and grass!"

Yuan Shao hurriedly wrote a reply letter and asked someone to give it to Yuan Shu, and also added a special sentence: "Don't worry, it's good to send the message slowly this time!"

Once this sentence was said, the soldiers who sent the message were stunned and didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant. But who made him the lord? Whatever Yuan Shao said was stupid!

"Haha, you still want to be careful with me?" Yuan Shao shook his head with a smile.

A few more days later, the incident was much longer than last time, and Yuan Shu finally received a reply from Yuan Shao.

"What should I do if this...?" Looking at Yuan Shao's decisive words when he replied to the letter, Yuan Shu was stunned and had no idea what to do.

"Lord, now that there is no food in the army, it will be a death if you drag it on. It's better to agree with Yuan Shao's conditions. We will seek opportunities to save the situation again and again." Yan Xiang finished reading the letter, thought about it and spoke.

"Hey! That's all right now!" Yuan Shu sighed. Yan Xiang was talking about the truth. If he didn't agree, I guess the army could only eat tree bark and eat grass roots?

Yuan Shu finished writing a letter, handed it to the sent-in soldiers, and then sat dejectedly on the ground.

Looking back on what happened these days, Yuan Shu originally owned a wealthy land of Yuzhou, but because of the intrigue of an unknown little man, he raised his troops in Yanzhou and tried to capture Cao Cao's lair. However, what he never expected was that Cao Cao actually led his troops to attack the base camp of Yuzhou in his rear, and took Yuzhou in one move, making him a betrayal dog.

"Ding Chen! Ding Bosheng! If there is one day, I will definitely crush you and expel your hatred! I will vent my heart!" Yuan Shu looked up at the sky and yelled angrily.

Yes, the cause of everything is Ding Chen, but the one who controls everything is Li Ru and Jia Xu who are drinking with him now.

"Brother Wenhe, the Central Plains are really in chaos now!" Li Ru looked at the information coming from all over the place, "Yuan Shao used troops to Youzhou, Cao Cao's troops invaded Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou. Liu Bei supported Xuzhou but did not want his Qingzhou to be attacked by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans! Sun Jian and Liu Yao of Yangzhou were still in a match! Except for Jing and Yizhou, the two states were in peace, there were wars everywhere in the Central Plains!"

"Haha, isn't this the result you and I want?" Jia Xu smiled playfully.

"Haha, it is enough that Ru can get the confidant Wen and brother in his life!" Li Ru exclaimed.

"I won't say anything else, what I said last time, have you sent someone to inquire about the nectar and jade liquid and the world's best paper method to send a message back?" Jia Xu waved his hand.

"No, I suspect they have been exposed!" Li Ru shook his head, "In theory, it has been nearly two months. Even some subtle things should be passed back, but there is still no news. I think people should be sent?"

"Stop it first!" Jia Xu also shook his head, "The people we sent out can be regarded as the best scouts in Xiliang. They all failed. What's the use of sending people? For the sake of the present, we should start from other prefectures and counties. Liaodong is still a bit trickier!"

"Yeah, that's good." Li Ru nodded.

"Is there anything wrong with the little emperor?" Jia Xu smiled gloomyly.

"It's okay for the time being, I just cried every day and did not do anything too much!" Li Ru replied.

"You must keep an eye on it. Don't let him do anything under our noses, as it will be hard for us to explain!" Jia Xu's tone was still as gloomy as ever.
