Beast King Three Kingdoms

() (The third update! Please collect, recommend, and reward!)

Being young means lack of experience. Chen Deng's talent is already very good, what is lacking is experience.

"Did you know that it was easy for Yuan Shu to break through Xuyi City, but why didn't he attack by force?" Chen Gui stared at Chen Deng closely, wanting to know his thoughts.

"This..." Chen Deng was also puzzled at the beginning, and basically forgot about it afterwards, but Chen Gui suddenly brought it up today.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Deng still didn't understand why, so he asked helplessly, "Please ask my father for advice."

Seeing that Chen Deng failed to figure it out, Chen Gui was slightly disappointed.

"Yuan Shu is caring for his soldiers! Think about it, Yuan Jun's combat power is unparalleled, and all of his soldiers are extremely tough, so even if one person is lost, it may be enough for Yuan Shu's heartache." Chen Gui said lightly.

Chen Deng's complexion changed, he already understood what Chen Gui meant.

Under the city of Xuyi, Yuan Shu lost more than 5000 people. Such a big loss was the only time since Yuan Shu led the army.

Seeing that Chen Deng's complexion was not good, Chen Gui knew that he already understood everything, so he comforted him: "You don't have to take this matter to heart. You must know that you and my father and son advocated an alliance with Jingzhou before, and Yuan Shu was completely offended when we crusade against Yuan Shu. Even without the battle of Xuyi, Yuan Shu might not be willing to accept my Chen family."

After hearing this, Chen Deng looked slightly better.

"Okay!" Chen Gui straightened his body and said seriously: "Next, we will disperse the children of the family and collect information from the princes and princes. Don't care about concealment. Now it is the critical moment of life and death, so we don't care too much."

"Yes! Father." Chen Deng took the order and left.

In the following days, there was an undercurrent in Xuzhou city, the Chen family was weak, and the major families fell into trouble one after another. The Cao family and the Mi family even joined forces to suppress the Chen family and almost drove them out of Xuzhou.

Although the governor Tao Qian couldn't bear it, he couldn't suppress the big families, so he had to let them go.

The Chen family's reaction was also a bit strange, without any counterattack, allowing the major families to show their power, and even voluntarily gave up a large number of properties, leaving only a small part to maintain the family.

The Chen family's father and son, Chen Gui claimed that he would not be sick, thanked guests behind closed doors, and stayed at home all day, while Chen Deng was mysterious, running around, not knowing what he was doing.

Everything seemed very strange.

However, the major families didn't care about this. From their point of view, the Chen family who had lost Jiangdu was already a toothless tiger, and no longer had the tiger power of the past, so they desperately robbed the properties of the Chen family.

In less than a month, the Chen family's properties in various places were divided up by the major families, among which the Cao family and the Mi family earned the most, almost accounting for more than half.

The vigorous carve-up operation finally came to an end, and Tao Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, Tao Qian was distracted to take care of them due to frequent changes in the major families, and even delayed Yuan Shu's envoy.

<Go. <City, Yuan Shu has been back for many days.

During this expedition, they obtained a large piece of land on the south bank of the Huaihe River in Xuzhou, which was quite fruitful. After a big celebration, Yuan Shu ordered Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao to speed up the progress of reform.

If the rule is not stable for a day, Yuan Shu will not be able to separate his thoughts to the outside world.

As for Xiangyang, Yuan Shu was not worried at all, because Wenpin sent the battle report that he defeated the vanguard Cai Mao's [-] army, and then defeated Liu Biao with the help of the catapult.

Now Liu Biao has only 2 troops left, Wenpin is not counted as a prisoner, and there are nearly [-] horses, guarding the camp, Liu Biao is absolutely helpless.

Of course, Yuan Shu didn't dare to be careless. There are many capable people in Jingzhou. Maybe there is a clever plan to break the camp and even take down Xiangyang City. Therefore, Yuan Shu ordered Zhang Xun of Wancheng to pay close attention to the battle situation in Xiangyang and prepare to go south to rescue at any time.

After arranging everything, Yuan Shu calmed down and began to think about the major events that will happen this year.

"Chuping four years, [-]. Hmm! It's time for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, and it will only be a few months." Yuan Shu sat alone in the lobby and said to himself.

Thinking of Cao Cao massacring cities and people in the name of avenging his father, Yuan Shu frowned slightly.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shu thought that since the southern part of Xuzhou had been conquered, it was a good time to collect people to enrich the area. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he could order people to spread the news around Xuzhou and encourage the people to go south.

"This is a good idea!" Yuan Shu thought smugly.

At this time, the guard suddenly came to report, and Gu Yong begged to see him.

"Huh?" Yuan Shu was a little curious, because of his orders, Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao are so busy these days, how could they have time to see him today?

"Please come in!" Yuan Shu said lightly.

After a while, Gu Yong stepped into the lobby.

"My lord!" Gu Yong paid his respects.

"No!" Yuan Shu waved his hand casually, motioning for Gu Yong to sit down.

However, Gu Yong did not sit down according to Yuan Shu's instructions, and directly cupped his hands and said, "My lord! The envoy from Xuzhou will meet you."

"Xuzhou envoy?" Yuan Shu was taken aback. He had just fought with Xuzhou, so why did he send an envoy here?

"Could it be that something happened to Xuzhou?" Yuan Shu asked anxiously, thinking in his heart: Could it be that Cao Cao made a move in advance?

"Huh? I've never heard of this. Sun Qian, the envoy from Xuzhou, came to seek peace at the order of Tao Qian." Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then explained to Yuan Shu.

"Peace!" Yuan Shu's reaction was a little slow.

Gu Yong had no choice but to say in detail: "My lord defeated Chen Deng and Cao Hong. Everyone in Xuzhou was terrified. They were afraid that the lord would go north to retaliate, so they sent Sun Qian to send money and food, and begged the lord not to attack Xuzhou."

"So that's how it is!" Yuan Shu suddenly realized, and finally realized that it was not Cao Cao, but himself.

"Is the lord seeing you or not?" Gu Yong asked.

"See you! Why don't you see me? Since I'm here to give gifts, of course I have to see you." Yuan Shu said with a smile, looking greedy for money.

"If that's the case, Yong will make arrangements." Gu Yong cupped his hands and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Yuan Shu called to stop Gu Yong, and said one after another: "Go and call Gong Da and Yuan Tu."

"No!" Gu Yong bowed and slowly exited the lobby.

After Gu Yong left, Yuan Shu touched the short beard on his chin, and said with a chuckle, "Tao Sheep! As expected, you just want to slaughter a lamb, so you sent it to your door eagerly."

After a while, when Xun You and Feng Ji arrived, Yuan Shu didn't say a word, but waved his hand to signal them to sit down.

After a while, Gu Yong led Sun Qian in.

After sending Sun Qian here, Gu Yong left by himself. He is currently dealing with a lot of things, and he can't rest for a moment.

"Sun Qian from Xuzhou, pay homage to General Pingnan." Sun Qian bowed.

"Get up!" Yuan Shu said lightly, neither friendly nor distant.

Sun Qian had no expression on his face, and bowed again: "Thank you, General!"

"Sit!" Yuan Shu pointed to the seat on the right and said to Sun Gan.

"Thank you!" After thanking him, Sun Qian went to his seat and sat down, straightening his body.

Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Gan from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself: "This person seems to be Liu Bei's subordinate. Well, Liu Bei is going to enter Xuzhou soon, so he should be subdued at that time."

"What's the purpose of the envoy here? Could it be that Tao Qian is going to violate our border again? So we can meet each other on the battlefield." Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian with a half-smile and joked.

"The general is serious!" Sun Qian said neither humble nor overbearing: "I, Xuzhou, have no intention of enmity with the general. The previous episode was just a misunderstanding. I hope the general will forgive me."

Yuan Shu slowly stretched out his right hand, tapped the table in front of him lightly with his fingers, and said in a calm tone, "A mere misunderstanding cost me five thousand troops. This 'misunderstanding' is too big!"

"I did this to solve the 'misunderstanding'." Yuan Shu's words were clever, and Sun Qian's answer was also clever.

"Oh?" Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he began to have a little interest in Sun Qian, and asked, "I want to see how you can solve this 'misunderstanding'."

Sun Qian took out a scroll of letters from his sleeve, held it up in both hands, and said respectfully: "Dare to ask the general to have a look."
