Yecheng, Hebei, Yuan family.

Since Liu Bei came to Yecheng, Yuan Shao has not slept soundly for several days.

Tian Feng, Ju Su, Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others exchanged positions. Tian Feng, who once dominated the station, did not agree with Yuan Shao's use of troops to Cao Cao.

They advocated rest and recuperation, and ordered soldiers to harass the Cao family.

Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others believed that the Cao family had been in constant wars recently and would definitely suffer a lot.

Giving the Cao family the opportunity, perhaps in two or three years, Cao Cao will have the ability to fight the Yuan family. Instead of waiting for a few years, it is better to take advantage of the Yuan family's peak and Cao Cao has not yet grown up and quickly destroy the Cao family.

Liu Bei's room.

Yuan Shao sat upright on his head, while Liu Bei sat opposite him.

He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Yuan Shao asked Liu Bei: "Xuande lived in Xudu for some time. What kind of person do you think Cao Cao is?"

"I don't have a sweet sword on my face, but I have great talent and strategy." Liu Bei said: "Cao Cao is the hero involved."

"Is Cao Mengde a hero of the world?" Yuan Shao smiled slightly and asked Liu Bei: "He is a hero, what am I?"

"In my opinion, Mr. Yuan is of course a hero." Liu Bei said: "It's just in Cao Mengde's eyes."

"What's wrong in his eyes?" Yuan Shao's tone became a little colder when he heard that Liu Bei was about to say something.

Liu Bei quickly stood up and saluted: "Mr. Yuan is forgiven, it's better for me not to say it."

"Tell me!" Yuan Shao said: "Xuande and I are not outsiders. Even if we say anything, we won't blame you."

"Cao Cao once cooked wine with me in Qingmei." Liu Bei said: "When he asked about the heroes in the world, I mentioned Mr. Yuan."

"How did he say me?" Yuan Shao asked in a colder tone.

"Cao Mengde said Yuan Gong" Liu Bei licked his lips, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao secretly, then lowered his head and said, "It's better that I won't say it."

"If you say it, just say it." The more Liu Bei didn't say it, the more Yuan Shao wanted to know. He frowned, his tone was even worse than before.

"Since Mr. Yuan insisted on asking, I'll say it." Liu Bei said: "Cao Mengde said that Mr. Yuan had great talent and ambitions, and was not afraid of it, and he was not considered a hero at all."

"Cao Mengde!" Yuan Shao slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "You bullied me too much!"

"Please forgive me!" Yuan Shao was really angry. Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists and said, "Cao Mengde is talking nonsense, but don't ruin his mood because of him."

Clenched his fists and Yuan Shao said, "When Xuande said this, it seems that I really have to let Cao Cao know who is the real hero!"

"Hebei is strong and powerful. Once Duke Yuan leads his army south, how can Cao Cao be the opponent?" Liu Bei said hurriedly.

"But I have concerns." Yuan Shao said: "My Fang'er is still in the Cao family."

"If Mr. Yuan uses troops, he can send someone to see Cao Cao." Liu Bei said: "If you ask him for his daughter, Cao Cao should not refuse."

"What if he refuses," Yuan Shao asked, "What should I do?"

"There is something I don't know if I should say." Liu Bei said with his fists and lowered his head.

"Please say Xuande." Yuan Shao signaled him to continue.

"I know that Mr. Yuan felt sorry for his daughter." Liu Bei said: "But how can the major events in the world be delayed by a woman?"

Looking at Liu Bei, Yuan Shao suddenly sneered.

He was so furious that he was laughing. Liu Bei bowed his fists and did not dare to look up.

"It turns out that Xuande has such a mind that he will abandon his family many times." Yuan Shao asked: "Xuzhou was captured by Cao Zirong, and I wonder where Xuande's family is?"

Yuan Shao did not give Liu Bei any face, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed.

He said embarrassedly: "Go back to Mr. Yuan, Xuzhou was too chaotic at the time. I wanted to take them away, but there was no time."

"Cao Zirong has a very right thing." Yuan Shao said: "As a man, he can't even protect his own women. What qualifications do he have to fight for the world?"

After saying this, Yuan Shao stood up and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, Yuan Shao said, "If I go to war with Cao Mengde, I will definitely not abandon Fang'er. You and I are both men, but I will not be like you, even a child can be left behind in order to survive."

Yuan Shao's words were full of contempt, but Liu Bei did not dare to speak back.

He didn't even dare to argue, but just stood facing Yuan Shao, holding his fists and bowing.

After leaving the room, Yuan Shao ordered the guards: "Call Zhengnan and others to my study. I have something to discuss with them. Don't call Tian Feng and Ju Su. I've seen these two people recently and I feel uncomfortable."

The guard who received the order left, and Yuan Shao returned to the study.

Not long after returning to the study, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others arrived one after another.

When everyone saw the salute, Yuan Shao said, "You all sit down."

After sitting down, Shen Pei asked Yuan Shao: "Duke Yuan asked us to come, is there any important thing?"

"I just went to meet Liu Xuande." Yuan Shao said: "From him, he learned that Cao Mengde actually dared to say that I was not behind his back."

"Cao Cao has such courage?" Feng Ji frowned and said to Yuan Shao: "I have said a long time ago that once Cao Mengde has full wings, it will definitely be unfavorable to the Yuan family. Now his troops are not as many as Yuan Gong and his territory is not as good as Yuan Gongguang, and he dares to gossip behind his back. Once he is made stronger, he still doesn't know what he will think of Yuan Gong."

"I have decided to attack Cao Cao." Yuan Shao said: "It's just that there is still one concern."

"Don't Mr. Yuan worry about Miss?" Guo Tu asked.

Yuan Shao nodded and said with a serious expression: "Fang'er is still in the Cao family. She is in the day, and I can't feel at ease."

"I have a way," Guo Tu said: "I can ask Mr. Yuan to get the lady from the Cao family with justification."

"What's the way?" Yuan Shao asked hurriedly.

"Mr. Yuan, please raise an army first." Guo Tu said: "The army should not cross the river, but just marching towards the Cao family. Seeing that Mr. Yuan took action, he would definitely respond. At that time, Mr. Yuan found his provocation charge, and wouldn't it be legitimate to ask the lady?"

"It's not difficult to be justified." Yuan Shao said: "The key is who went to ask the Cao family for it?"

"Three Young Master." Guo Tu said: "Xu Du, the third young master, went to Xu Du in person when he was sent to the wedding. It was also good for him to have a private relationship with Cao Zirong. If he went there, he would definitely be able to get the lady back."

Rotating his beard, Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Mr. What Gong said is reasonable, I will ask someone to call Xianfu here."

"Come!" he shouted outside the door: "Go and call Xianfu."

The guard's response came from outside the door.

When the guard left, Yuan Shao asked everyone again: "What should I do to get Cao Mengde to do something?"

"No need to do anything." Feng Ji said: "As long as Duke Yuan sent a troops to advance to the Yellow River, Cao Cao would definitely respond."

"Tell Yan Liang, the troops stationed in the white horse!" Yuan Shao said: "I have decided to attack Cao Cao!"
