Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Now, the Cui family is at this crossroads. Whether turning to Liu Bei is passing the knife to Yuan Shao, or going to another peak, even Cui Yan can't see clearly, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are too strong, so strong that he can no longer see The original appearance can only be distinguished by intuition and guesswork.

In fact, this is also the feeling of most aristocratic families. Who is strong and who is weak in Yuan and Liu is related to too many things. The only judgment they can rely on in the past is which aristocratic family has more and which is stronger.

In this era, aristocratic families represent knowledge, money, food, and population. Therefore, most aristocratic families think that Yuan Shao is stronger, but at Cui Yan's level, he can vaguely grasp some clues and see something wrong!

As for the guy who is at Xun Yu's level, who can tell Xun Chen that comprehensive defense is the best policy, I'm afraid he knows everything he needs to know. Unfortunately, some words cannot be completely convinced by guesswork. After all, Xun Yu can't go to the battlefield in person , otherwise, I am afraid that a more accurate judgment will be made.

It's a pity that Cui Yan is not a top figure like Xun Yu, and it is impossible to convince the elders of his family with some guesswork.

To be precise, since the previous mistake in choosing Cao Cao, Cui Yan's position has been somewhat shaken. If it weren't for the fact that the Qinghe Cui family really didn't have a more capable person than Cui Yan, I'm afraid Cui Yan's position is not even a bit shaken. Clearly, maybe even he himself will step down.

【Hey, I absolutely can't make a second mistake. If I make a mistake again, I'm afraid the Qinghe Cui family will disappear. 】Cui Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, his burden is already very heavy now, if there is a slight mistake or omission, it is likely that the aristocratic family will make trouble.

"My lord, someone is visiting." A servant cupped his hands at Cui Yan and said.

"Who is it?" Cui Yan calmed down. In order not to be seen from the expression in the future to see the thoughts in the heart.

"Patriarch's brother." The servant lowered his head and replied.

"Deru?" Cui Yan asked with his head sideways, and then said, "Prepare the banquet and invite him in, and prepare the banquet in the back court by the way."

Soon Cui Lin, led by his servants, entered Cui Yan's back room through the hall. Compared to Cui Yan who was dressed in brocade robes, Cui Lin was dressed much poorer.

"Brother, you know why I'm here." Cui Lin didn't say anything false to Cui Yan, and got straight to the point after taking the seat.

"Unknown." Cui Yan could roughly guess it, but he denied it without changing his face. He wanted to know how Cui Lin could convince himself.

"Brother, don't bully me." Cui Lin shook his head, "I came here for Liu Xuande, Qinghe is in such a mess, if the Cui family doesn't jump out of the quagmire now, let alone when."

"But if we do something now, what should I do if I jump out of the quagmire and find myself in another, bigger quagmire?" Cui Yan said with a sigh. His clan brother is looked down upon by the Cui family because of his stupidity, but he is the only one. I know that the other party is really wise, but it's a pity that I can't express it.

"Liang Dao!" Cui Lin raised a finger and said, Cui Yan suddenly became enlightened, but he still hesitated.

"If Liu Xuande still can't win in this way, then it's impossible for him to share the title of Overlord of the World with Yuan Shao equally." Cui Linshen said.

"Indeed!" Cui Yan nodded. Their Cui family has such an opportunity, why not give it a go, even if Liu Xuande is really bad. If they still lost to Yuan Shao despite creating such a big advantage, it can only be said that the Cui family of Qinghe was lucky.

With Cui Lin's words, Cui Yan no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered someone to invite Xin Pi and Zhu Ling to a banquet, and at the same time sent someone to notify Xu Shu and Wei Yan. In the end, Simpi and Zhu Ling came, but Xu Shu and Wei Yan found that Gao Lan was going to Yanzhou at that time. Immediately led the army to withdraw.

Although Simpi and Zhu Ling said they had come, they were obviously on guard. Even Simpi did not hide his doubts about Cui Yan. After all, although the Cui family in Qinghe is still a wealthy family in Jizhou, the upper echelons of the battle with Cui Jun knew something about it.

As a defeated Qinghe Cui family, they will not be looked down upon by others. After all, the upper echelons know that the Qinghe Cui family's defeat was caused by Yuan Shaola's partiality. Think about it.

The servant who went to investigate went quickly and returned quickly. He rushed back before Cui Yan was ready to meet Simpi, and then told Cui Yan the unfortunate news. As a result, Liu Beijun actually left. Could it be that something major happened.

But at this time, Cui Yan also knew that he should not be entangled with these things, and immediately went out to meet Simpi and Zhu Ling with a smile on his face.

"George, I'm afraid both of Wenbo suspect that I have ulterior motives for today's banquet." Cui Yan went out and bowed with a smile on his face, then invited the two into the hall, and then said with a gentle face.

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated." Simpi said without changing his face.

"Do you think I don't know the art of war?" Cui Yan twitched his face, but still held back his annoyance and said.

"It's just that we have to be cautious about everything, and I ask Ji Gui to forgive me." Xin Pi didn't care about Cui Yan's expression, and said very plainly, and almost said that we don't want to eat this meal, and we can talk about it later when we have time.

"Huh, come, see off, since you two are like this, my Cui family doesn't need to please you." Cui Yan flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away, leaving Simpi and Zhu Ling in the living room, followed by several servants Come out and send Simpi and Zhu Ling out.

Before Simpi and Zhu Ling could react, they were sent out of Cui's house by the servants of Cui's family, and they were at a loss immediately.

"I'm afraid we are targeting the Cui family." Zhu Ling said with a wry smile.

"Well, at this juncture, you should be cautious if you can be cautious. If you offend now, you will have a chance to pay back in the future, but if you lose Ganling now, your lord's great career will be affected." Simpi sighed, Although he already knew that Cui Yan was upright, this kind of embarrassing behavior made Simpi a little embarrassed, but Xinpi felt relieved.

"Xin Changshi, Steward Cui asked me to give this to you, saying that it was given to you by the Patriarch." At this point, Xin Pi was thinking about whether to visit Cui's house after the war, when a personal guard ran over.

Xin Pi took the letter, skimmed it briefly, couldn't help being taken aback, then handed it to Zhu Ling, and Zhu Ling was overjoyed after reading it.

"As expected of a local snake, he can even get such information." Zhu Ling said with a sigh.

"Send someone to investigate, within a range of a hundred miles. If Xu Shu is really withdrawing, then we will come to apologize to him." Simpi is also a person who can afford to let go, and said immediately. In fact, he is very It is certain that the other party can send this kind of information, and it is basically not fake.
