"Lord! I have an emergency military situation in my humble position!!" A messenger with sweaty face and panting half kneeled in front of Yuan Shao and handed him a letter.

Yuan Shao was a little unhappy, but he didn't have an attack. As a result, he looked carefully after the bamboo slips. The more he looked down, his eyes wider and his mind became clearer.

Seeing his expression change, Liu Yu next to him asked with concern: "Benchu, what happened?"

"It's okay, it's just in Jizhou. Some thieves started to make trouble when they see me no longer, and it's harmless." Yuan Shao chuckled, waved his hand to comfort everyone's gaze, and then took Ju Su to a quiet room and handed him the letter.

"It seems that Zhang Yang, Lu Bu and others were discovered..." Ju Su lamented. Xin Jian was sent by Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan. It said that Lu Bu sent troops to raid Jizhou. Now he has taken down Changshan and Zhao, the closest to Bingzhou. Zhongshan and Wei County are about to be unable to defend. Please send troops to rescue. @秀\/Shuge* First update~~

"I don't understand. We were clearly divided into several small armies and secretly entered Youzhou. How could Lu Bu still get the news?" Yuan Shao put his hand on his head, and could not figure out where the mistake was.

Looking at Yuan Shao who was extremely troubled, Ju Su thought for a moment and replied: "There are a few speculations below. One may be the news that Gongsun Zan deliberately revealed, and he wanted to use this to force his lord to return to help.

The two are made in detail in our internal work and informed Bingzhou of the inside story.

The three are Jia Xu or Dong Zhao who guessed it himself. I am more inclined to this conjecture.”

"It doesn't matter which reason is really. What matters is what should I do now? Should I go back to help or continue fighting here?"

"This..." Ju Su thought about it, but he still bowed his hand and replied: "I have a suggestion to lose my guards and protect the general, I don't know the lord..."

"Stop!" Yuan Shao directly interrupted Ju Su's nonsense. "Don't keep it aside at this time, just say it."

"That's right. I suggest that both sides of the lord should take care of both sides. Gongsun Zan will soon be defeated. If the lord returns, the soldiers will be killed and the food and money will be wasted, so the troops must not be withdrawn. In the Jizhou side, I hope that the lord will return a letter, ordering the three young men and civil servants to take food, grass and equipment to retreat, concentrate all the troops and weapons to Hejian Kingdom, and stand firm to avoid war and wait for reinforcements to return to defense.

In addition, the lord can write another letter to Liu Bei, telling him that Lu Bu is coming and the emperor is in danger. It is impossible for Liu Bei, a great loyal minister, to come back. With his second and third brothers, the three young masters can also reduce some pressure."

"Well, in this way, we can even avoid the possibility of turning against Liu Bei now." Yuan Shao nodded and agreed with Ju Shu's suggestion. "Although I was a little unhappy with taking the initiative to give up the territory, the authorities could only cut off their tails and survive."

"Lord, a wise man!"

Yuan Shao, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately ordered: "Don't worry, I will immediately draw a letter for Liu Bei, and then send Jiang Qi, Yan Rou and Zhao Rui to lead 50,000 troops back to the rescue to fight the city. Until the army returns triumphantly, you are absolutely not allowed to take the initiative. Violators will be killed. Xu You and others must pay attention. When I am not here, you must be careful of the emperor and must not let Liu Bei steal the person!"

"I'm here to obey the order!" Seeing Yuan Shao, who could give up, act decisively, and remained calm in front of Mount Tai, Ju Shu's heart also surged. Such a wise lord, why worry about not being able to create a great cause and become famous in history when working under his hands?

Little did Liu Bei, who was in trouble in Jizhou, is still fighting with Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others. As for Wen Du, he had been dragged to chat with three strong men, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and ***. He was taking this opportunity to meet Taishi Ci, Xu Huang and others. Everyone was playing the game and was punishing them to drink. Of course, they had to abandon Wen Du, a man who poured two glasses...

While apologizing, Wen Du, who walked out of the noisy camp, walked around the cleaned ruins and saw Chen Gong sighing at the river. "What are you looking at? Take me one."

When Chen Gong saw him, he bent over and bowed and explained: "When talking about the battle situation, according to the current statistics, our army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, while Yuan Shu, who claimed to be 300,000 elite soldiers, captured nearly 70,000, and many of them were injured."

"Well, I'm called Doctor Zhang. (This chapter is not finished!)

They should treat it quickly, without distinguishing between enemies and me. As long as the wound is injured, they should be treated. If the medicinal materials are not enough, they can only mention them. After reading it, you can arrange for the inclusion of those who are willing to surrender. If you don’t want to mention those who are left behind, give them some money and let them disperse themselves.”

"Don't worry, the military supervisor, remember your policy at all times."

"That's fine, let's talk about the supplies, how many have you discovered?"

When he heard the inquiry, Chen Gong took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve and said, "There are 90 million stones of grain in Qiao County, more than 2,000 boxes of gold, silver and treasures, 100,000 pieces of various weapons, and 350,000 bows and arrows."

"Damn it, it's a rich place. There are so many things in one Qiao County. I don't know how much food and money there are in the entire Yuzhou. No wonder Yuan Shu dares to be the emperor..."

"It's all people's wealth..." Chen Gong curled his lips and responded to Wen Du's feelings. "Since the day Yuan Shu ascended the throne, he ordered people from all over the country to pay food and pay taxes for military funds. Not to mention anything else, the burned palace alone is enough for all the people in Qiao County to eat and drink for two years. Because of his plunder, the market economy has been in chaos. A bucket of rice costs 30 yuan, and it may not be possible to buy it."

"Well, you can expect it." Wen Du was willing to verify Chen Gong's words, and he must believe that. After all, history is there. After becoming emperor, the Skeleton King was only concerned about his and his concubine's food, clothing, housing and transportation. According to the normal process, the army would go to the sea to catch fish for food, clothing, housing and transportation within a year...

"In this regard, I have a proposal. I want to ask the lord to return the money and grain that was forcibly collected to the local people in order to stabilize the market."

Listening to Chen Gong's thoughts, Wen Du calmly replied: "This is a good thing. Just do it, and I will tell you the lord."

Seeing that the proposal was approved, Chen Gong bowed deeply again: "Thank you, the military supervisor."

Here, Chen Gong, who was busy with work, said goodbye to Chen Gong, Wendu went around Sun Jian’s camp. After seeing others, he felt a little unhappy. "Do you have any trouble?"

Sun Jian turned his head and glanced at Wen Du, and then turned his eyes to the map again. "Yes, during the banquet last night, Cao Cao said that he wanted to recommend Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou and wanted to invite me. Do you know what it means?"

"Do you want us to withdraw from Runan?"

"Not only that, it also includes the counties and counties occupied by Yingchuan and Peiguo."

"He really dares to mention it, how did the lord answer?"

"I put a pretext on it and said I would reply to him today." At this point, Sun Jian turned to Wen Du and asked, "Do you have any good solutions?"

"Well, I think we can use the jade seal as an introduction and seek an agreement from Liu Bei to return the jade seal to him. The lord recommends him as the governor of the state, but we reserve the right to govern the occupied areas. After all, this is all made by our soldiers with one sword and one shot. What reason is there to hand it over?"

"You are right! This is the reason I need." Sun Jian happily patted Wen Du, picked up the installed jade seal from the table, and strode towards Cao Liu's camp opposite...

Seeing that nothing happened here, Wen Du finally made room to walk into a camp guarded by heavy troops. After walking in, he saw four men inside, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, who were slightly injured, Xu Chu, bandaged, and Yuan Shu, who was sitting safely.

"What do you want to do?!" Ji Ling stood in front of Wen Du with his injured left leg, protecting Yuan Shu behind him.

"Don't be excited, I'm not here to be a bad guy..." Wen Du stretched out his blank hands and showed his sincerity. "I just want to chat with Yuan Shu."

"Talk? My lord has nothing to say to you!"

"Ji Ling, get out of the way..."

Ji Ling heard Yuan Shu's order, and although he was full of resentment, he turned his body sideways and made way. Wen Du followed the trend, sat face to face with Yuan Shu with a small wooden stool.

"I remember when I asked Dong for it, I invited you?"

"This is the case." Wen Du nodded and affirmed Yuan Shu's memories. "The conditions you put forward for me are really tempting, but unfortunately my willpower is pretty good. I didn't agree to your invitation, otherwise I would have become a thief now. @美\/Shuge* First update~~"

"It will be useless to say more than one person. You should talk about the purpose of coming to see me."

"It's so satisfying, then I won't. (This chapter is not finished!)

I've been going around in circles, I want you to surrender."

Wen Du just asked the reason, and Yuan Shu laughed three times to the sky.

"What? Do you think what I said is stupid?"

"It's really stupid. I'm the emperor, how can I make the emperor surrender to his ministers?"

Looking at Yuan Shu who raised his head high, Wen Du lamented and said, "If you don't surrender, you will have to die, but I can't kill you. The first point is that I have won Yan Xiang to save your life. I will not break the agreement, so please don't force me to do it, and don't let Yan Xiang's sacrifice be meaningless.

Second, it doesn’t matter whether you surrender or not. There is not much more you, but less you. The key is the three of them." Wen Du pointed at Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and Xu Chu next to him. "I want to accept the three of them, so I have to keep you alive."

"Fart! Do I look like the seller to survive!"

Listening to Qiao Rui's interruption, Wen Du spoke again with great satisfaction: "I heard that, no one will hate loyal ministers, and their destiny is in your hands. Should you take them to die with you or give them a way out of life? The choice is in your hands."

At this point, Wen Du stopped talking nonsense, just stared at Yuan Shu and observed his reaction...
