Can I get to the other side?

Angry because of his failure to surrender, Yuan Shao did not think that such a trivial matter would be a reason for Lu Bu to reject his goodwill.

Especially since there isn't really much going on between them.

Although the two were once enemies when Lu Bu was under Dong Zhuo's command, that was just forced by their different camps. Apart from that, they never had any grudges because of other things.

After Dong Zhuo's death, all those grievances disappeared.

So it stands to reason that now he took the initiative to show his favor to Lu Bu, put on all kinds of battles, and even made an exception to make him a duke. Such courtesy would make anyone shed tears of gratitude.

But instead of being grateful, Lu Bu was full of hostility.

Yuan Shao couldn't figure it out after much thought, so he asked a group of counselors to discuss and exchange opinions to see what was going on.

After finding the cause, he was able to prescribe the right medicine.

Tian Feng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Liu Bei has a close relationship with Lu Bu now. Feng thinks that it is most likely that he has fabricated and slandered the lord in front of Lu Bu, so Lu Bu is so hostile to the lord."

"Liu Bei should have been killed when he was in Yecheng."

He still feels bad about not killing Liu Bei.

The last time Liu Bei issued a military order and captured Peixian County in ten days, he survived such a dead end. Even now he has raised his own troops again and gained Lu Bu's trust. This is simply incredible!

This crusade against Yuan Shu even made Zhang Xiu surrender and offer the city, showing extraordinary courage and courage.

As a result, Tian Feng became even more convinced that Liu Bei would be a threat in the future, and regretted that he had not been able to persuade Yuan Shao to kill him.

When Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng had revealed his past again, he was dissatisfied that Liu Bei had not been killed at that time. He was slightly annoyed and snorted coldly:

"How can a person who just weaves mats and sells shoes become such a good person? Today the emperor has issued an order to appoint him as the shepherd of Jingzhou. With Liu Biao here, there is no way he can take office.

At present, Lu Bu occupies the entire Xuzhou, and Yangzhou is also in his possession. The top priority is to win over him! If he forms an alliance with me, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, nine states in the world, five states will be in his hands. By then great things will be accomplished in an instant. "

Yuan Shao now has no hope at all for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

These two people were loyal to Liu Bei and he couldn't win them over.

Lu Bu may not have no chance, and Lu Bu is more brave than the first two, and he occupies a large amount of territory. He is a force that cannot be underestimated.

"My lord, Lu Bu is capricious and has changed his master three times. The risk of wooing him is too great."

The judge looked worried, and he did not suggest Yuan Shao win over Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is indeed brave, but the bloody examples of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are just ahead.

Who knows if Lu Bu will suddenly stab him in the back in the future?

Yuan Shao frowned and said nothing. It was because of this that he did not accept Lu Bu's surrender.

But time has passed, and the capricious villain of the past has developed to this point.

He couldn't help but feel deeply regretful.

Compared with Xuzhou and Yangzhou, what is a stab in the back?

He was confident of conquering Lu Bu.

Just like the advisers and generals who have taken refuge in him over the years, who would not be loyal to him as long as they join his command?

"What suggestions does Guang Luxun have?"

Yuan Shao finally turned his attention to Jia Xu, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea and said nothing.

Jia Xu was different from Tian Feng and Ju Shue in that he was not under Yuan Shao's command in name only.

But every time there is a meeting, whether Yuan Shao notifies him or not, he will be there.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's view, Jia Xu is also equivalent to his retainer.

Jia Xu originally just wanted to drink tea quietly, but unexpectedly he couldn't escape.

So he put down the tea cup in his hand, pondered for a moment and then asked: "The general asked whether we should win over Lu Bu, or how to win over Lu Bu?"

"If it's the former, then I can't give you any good advice. There are pros and cons, and the general needs to make his own decision."

"If it's the latter, then I can speak a few words."

As a counselor, there is no need to make any decisions for the superior unless it is unavoidable; he only needs to provide the method to achieve his goal after the superior makes the decision.

Only in this way will you never get burned.

"How should I win over Lu Bu, general?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly when he heard this and said slowly: "Looking at Lu Bu's previous experiences, the masters of the three changes were all for fame, wealth and beauty. If the general wants to win over him, he can start from this aspect."

Yuan Shao sighed helplessly, "Why didn't I know? Today, I went to the emperor to confer him the title of Hussar General, and made an exception to make him the County Duke. In terms of title, he is even above me."

"In addition, I carefully prepared more than ten beauties and planned to give them to him when he came to my house as a guest, but he didn't even come."

Yuan Shao asked himself that he had shown the greatest sincerity, but his sincerity was like a wink thrown to a blind man.

Jia Xu paused, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and said tactfully: "General, have you ever thought that what Lu Bu wants is not a hussar general at all?"

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

The hussar general is the pinnacle of military officers among the imperial officials, second only to the general.

The picture is not of the Cavalry General, so what does he want?

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's eyes widened suddenly and he said in disbelief: "Is it possible... is it possible that he wants my position as general?!"

Jia Xu didn't speak, but his silence said everything.

Yuan Shao's face suddenly turned ugly.

Got it, he got it all.

Why was Lu Bu hostile to him, why did he turn a blind eye to all his overtures, and why was there no wavering when he was awarded the title of Hussar General in the hall today.

It turns out that what he was plotting was actually the general!

"Arrogant!" Chunyu Qiong yelled, "Lü Bu, a common man, has no right to covet the position of general?"

Yuan Shao said nothing with a sullen face.

He could tolerate Lu Bu having a higher title than him, because the title was naturally noble in prosperous times, but in troubled times, it was just a false name in the final analysis.

No matter how big the food is, can he take it?

But the official position is different!

He is a great general and great Sima. He can nominally control the world's soldiers and horses. He is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Nature occupies the great righteousness.

If he gives up the position of general to Lu Bu, not only will he not be able to order Lu Bu in the future, but he will have to listen to Lu Bu's orders!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, Yuan Shao said expressionlessly: "Let's give up on recruiting Lu Bu."

Lu Bu wanted the position of general, and there was no way he would give it up.

Therefore, winning over Lu Bu became nonsense.

"It seems that it will be impossible to order Lu Bu directly from now on. We can only instruct him through the emperor's edict. That's all, it's the same." Yuan Shao thought to himself.

Anyway, the emperor was completely under his control, and it was not entirely up to him what orders he issued. As long as Lu Bu remained loyal to the emperor, he must obey the orders.

"That's it for today, please go back and rest."

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, everyone left one by one.

Jia Xu glanced at Yuan Shao and made a calculation in his mind: "If Lu Bu annexes Yangzhou, he will have two states, and he will be no weaker than Yuan Shao. Judging from his words and deeds in the court today, it seems that he feels guilty towards the emperor. For future plans, I have to talk to Guo Jia."

Over the past few months, Jia Xu witnessed the conflicts and strife within Yuan Shao's internal forces, and Jia Xu believed that Yuan Shao was not worthy of loyalty.

Now Lu Bu's arrival has turned him towards the emperor again.

He made up his mind to meet Guo Jia honestly.

After the counselors and generals had left, Yuan Shao boarded a carriage and headed towards the prison.

He wants to see Yuan Shu.

…

royal palace.

Liu Xie held the imperial seal in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. He couldn't put it down.

"It's so beautiful."

Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.

Whenever he saw these eight words, he felt his blood boiling and his heart throbbed with an indescribable feeling.

He can now understand why Sun Jian secretly hid the imperial seal, and he can also understand why Yuan Shu couldn't help but proclaim himself emperor.

Holding this thing in your hands, your desire to ascend the throne and become emperor will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times.

Because this jade seal represents the supreme right!

The only flaw is that a corner of the jade seal is missing. Although it was filled with gold, it is not so perfect after all.

"It is said that after Wang Zhengjun broke the corner of the jade seal, the dragon energy in that corner went north, so the north often invaded in later generations. After thousands of years, a demon dragon was raised, allowing the barbarians to enter the pass."

Liu Xie stroked the missing corner of the jade seal and thought of the rumors he had heard from nowhere in his previous life.

"Alas, it's a pity that this Sheji artifact is not mine after all. I don't know when Yuan Shao will take it away."

While Liu Xie was sighing, the eunuch's voice came from outside the palace:

"Your Majesty, the Hussar General is asking for an audience outside the palace."
