Can I get to the other side?

"Then, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first. If there is any other news, I will come back to the palace to report to you." After confirming the situation at Zhen Mi's side, Guo Jia stood up and left.

Looking at Guo Jia's leaving figure, Liu Xie touched his chin, recalling the conversation just now, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The development of the war situation has deviated from the original history.

He couldn't guess who the final winner would be in this battle against Yuan Shu. There were too many unpredictable variables.

But honestly speaking, compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he hopes Lu Bu can win.

After all, compared to other warlords who were separatists, Lu Bu could be called a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

If Cao Cao becomes big, he will definitely die if he falls into his hands.

But when Yuan Shao becomes big, he will be a puppet for the rest of his life without any freedom.

"Fengxian, please don't let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao occupy too much of Yuan Shu's territory."

Liu Xie prayed in his heart.

As long as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's power is not allowed to develop, he can accept even Sun Ce's final victory.

…

It's June and the weather is extremely hot.

Yuan Shao did not stay in Yecheng, but led his family and a group of close advisers to a mountain villa more than ten miles away from Yecheng to escape the summer heat and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Halfway up the mountain, inside a pavilion.

Yuan Shao ordered his maid to move several jars of unopened wine into the pavilion, and smiled at everyone: "This plum wine is brewed from the finest green plums and has been buried in the mountains for several years."

"It's rare for you to come here today. There is nothing else in the mountain but this wine can entertain you."

The maid opened the mud seal of the wine jar, and the fragrance immediately spread out.

Most of the people present were drinkers, especially Xu You. He couldn't hold back after smelling the aroma of wine and hurriedly said: "Quick, quick, quick! Pour me a bowl!"

Seeing how impatient he looked, Yuan Shao teased: "Ziyuan, you still haven't changed your habit of drinking."

Hearing this, Xu You held the wine bowl and said seriously: "Wine is the essence of food. Drinking more can prolong your life."

"I drink so that I can live longer, stay with my lord for a long time, and help my lord achieve great things!"

These words couldn't help but make everyone burst into laughter.

"You drunkard!"

Yuan Shao smiled and cursed, but he didn't really care about this, "Zi Yuan is right. If I want to achieve great things, I cannot do without your help."

"Come, I respect you all!"

Everyone also picked up their wine bowls and said, "Honor your lord!"

The atmosphere in the pavilion was quite pleasant for a while.

While drinking, Jia Xu looked at the people in the pavilion, but did not see the young figure, and could not help but frown slightly.

Today, all the counselors under Yuan Shao's command are here.

But only Guo Jia was not seen.

Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shang, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Didn't Mr. Guo come with you?"

Yuan Shang was still thinking about toasting Jia Xu, but he didn't expect that he actually took the initiative to talk to him, and he was very happy: "Fengxiao was not feeling well, so he didn't come."

"I see." Jia Xu nodded and asked no more questions.

But he roughly guessed that Guo Jia went to the palace to meet the emperor while everyone was out.

In this way, the imperial guards in the palace seemed to be loyal to the emperor, otherwise Guo Jia frequently met the emperor, and the news would have spread long ago.

Jia Xu silently calculated the emperor's chances of getting rid of Yuan Shao's control in his heart.

Just when everyone was drinking and chatting in high spirits, Tian Feng suddenly stood up and said: "Lord, Feng has something to say."

Yuan Shao asked: "What's the matter with Yuan Hao?"

Tian Feng said sternly: "My lord, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and the world's heroes are at war. You really shouldn't be here to enjoy yourself."

"After drinking, you should go back to the city quickly. Many matters are still waiting for you to decide."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately cooled down.

A trace of irritation flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes. He has worked hard for many years, but he still can't go out for a few days to enjoy himself?

Holding back his anger, he said: "If Yuan Hao wants to go back, he should go back first! I want to play here with you for a few days!"

Yuan Shao was really fed up with this Tian Feng, who always stood up and opposed him when he was in the highest mood!

Now I even have to say a few words when going out for a drink in the city!

"Yuan Hao, you drank too much." Seeing Yuan Shao's worried expression, Jushu quickly stood up to smooth things over for Tian Feng.

However, Tian Feng was unable to make any progress. After hearing what Yuan Shao said, he actually handed over his hand and said, "That Feng will leave first."

After that, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.

Yuan Shao slammed the table and said with a gloomy expression: "Don't worry about him! Keep drinking!"

Jushou looked at Tian Feng's back and sighed softly.

Jia Xu watched all this with cold eyes, glanced at Yuan Shao with a sullen face, and then glanced at Tian Fenghou who was leaving, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Yuan Shao is indeed not someone to follow."

When he observes a person, he never looks at what the other person does under normal circumstances, but rather what the other person does when they are angry, sad, or frightened.

Because people usually pretend, and their true nature can only be seen when their emotions are revealed.

Yuan Shao's treatment of Tian Feng, who was outspoken and good at admonishing, shows that he is not a wise master. It is difficult for such a person to achieve great things.

"I wonder how the emperor compares to Yuan Shao? How has he grown compared to a few years ago?" Jia Xu was a little curious.

The emperor who can make people like Guo Jia willing to help him is definitely not what he saw when he entered the palace that day. It is probably just a disguise.

"My lord! My lord——!"

When Jia Xu was thinking, he suddenly heard a shout. When he looked up, he saw Tian Feng leaving and returning.

Yuan Shao frowned and said with a cold face: "Isn't Yuan Hao going back to the city? What are you doing here?"

"Lord! There is an urgent report from General Yan Liang, Wen Chou!" Tian Feng always ignored the sarcasm in Yuan Shao's words, and presented a memorial with a solemn expression.

"An urgent report came from the Yangzhou front line. Lu Bu captured Zhongli County and fought Yuan Shu in a decisive battle over the Huai River. On the day of the decisive battle, Lu Bu shot Yuan Shu's general across the river to death, and then crossed the river to defeat Yuan Shu!"

"Yuan Shu's 60,000-strong army was destroyed and retreated to Shouxian County under the cover of Zhang Xiu. Lu Bu has now ordered the army to advance towards Shouxian County!"

"In addition, Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army came to Shouxian County, and Jiangdong Sun Ce also sent troops outside Shouxian County!"

Tian Feng's words immediately shocked everyone.

"Bring it!"

Yuan Shao did not care about the unhappiness that had just happened between him and Tian Feng. He directly took the memorial and read it, his expression quickly became solemn.

It was not until he read the entire memorial several times that he gritted his teeth and cursed unwillingly: "How could Yuan Shu be so unbearable that he let my Yuan family's territory fall into the hands of others!"

He never expected that Lu Bu could defeat Yuan Shu with such a slight loss.

This is completely inconsistent with his original plan!

Lu Bu could not lose his troops and generals, how could he cross his territory and swallow up Yuan Shu's territory?

What's more, now that Cao Cao has stepped in, and Jiangdong Sun Ce is eyeing him, Yuan Shao can't figure out how Yan Liang and Wen Chou can fight for his territory among three people.
