Sure enough, there is no free pie in the sky!
Everyone showed contempt again, and all the doubts in their hearts were solved.
They knew very well what Guo Tu was capable of.
If he really had the 'ghost' talent Liu Zhang mentioned, how could Yuan Shao lose consecutive battles?
Yuan Shao let out a heavy breath, feeling mixed with joy and anger.
Fortunately, since Liu Zhang has additional conditions, there should be no problem in sending troops.
What made him angry was that Guo Tu avoided important matters and neglected the trivial matters. He only reported good news but not bad news. He didn't know what excessive demands he had agreed to to Liu Zhang.
"Guo Tu, why don't we actually recruit him!"
Guo Tu didn't dare to play tricks anymore and stood up slowly, preparing to tell the truth.
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for Guo Tu's words. Unexpectedly, Guo Tu remained silent.
However, there were some differences from before. Guo Tu had been looking at Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, very nervously.
"Guo Tu, what do you think I am doing?"
Yuan Xi was stared at by Guo Tu, and felt frightened in his heart.
Could it be that Liu Zhang’s request has something to do with me?
"hiss..."
Yuan Xi took a deep breath and then glared at Guo Tu.
"Guo Gongze, could it be that you gave me to Liu Zhang as a hostage?"
I thought Guo Tu would deny it immediately, but he didn’t even give an explanation!
"What!"
Yuan Shao was completely angry when he saw this. Guo Tu was too courageous!
For such an important matter as giving birth to a son, we didn't even discuss it and just agreed directly.
However, after Yuan Shao thought about it, it seemed that it was not completely unacceptable.
Anyway, Yuan Xi is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son.
If he was exchanged for Liu Zhang's troops and a large area of land, there would definitely be some discussion.
"Xier, what's wrong? You don't want to share the worries of being a father?"
Of course I don't want to. Why don't you let the eldest brother and third brother go?
Yuan Xi cursed fiercely in his heart, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all.
"It is a son's honor to be able to share his father's worries..."
The civil and military officials on the left and right both sympathized with and despised him.
Yuan Xi did not have any qualifications to inherit Yuan Shao's legacy, so naturally no ministers were friendly with him.
Now, if you want to be treated as an outcast, you can only express a little sympathy.
But this Yuan Xi is really hypocritical. He said he was willing, but the result was full of bitterness.
Yuan Shao could only pretend not to know about this. Yuan Xi didn't have much sense of existence to him.
"Gongze, General Xi'erben has helped you convince..."
Guo Tu nodded when he heard this, and then bowed to Yuan Xi.
"Second Young Master, don't worry. Liu Zhang is not asking Second Young Master to come and be a hostage."
Wow. . .
The room suddenly exploded.
Is this Guo Tu tired of living? Playing with a room full of people?
Yuan Shao's patience reached its limit, and he slowly determined one thing.
This Guo Tu didn't convince Liu Zhang at all, maybe he was already unconscious.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to explode, Guo Tu spoke again.
"But Liu Zhang wants someone, a woman."
Yuan Tan smiled when he heard this, and his heart suddenly dropped.
"Hey, so are you, Gongze. You should have told him if he wanted a woman!"
"We have millions of people in Hebei! Don't say Liu Zhang wants just one, it doesn't matter if he wants a hundred or a thousand!"
Yuan Shao stroked his beard gently, nodded slightly, and his expression softened slightly.
"What Tan'er said is absolutely true."
"Gongze, it's not that this great general is talking about you, it's just a woman. Didn't you tell me earlier?"
Using a woman in exchange for Liu Zhang's opportunity to send troops and defeat Cao Cao, he also got Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou.
For such a good thing, Yuan Shao would not hesitate at all.
Even if Liu Zhang wants his wife Liu, maybe Yuan Shaoyi can be cruel. . .
But everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Yuan Xi glared angrily, completely on the verge of explosion.
Judging from Guo Tu's reaction just now, this woman is obviously related to him!
"Guo...Mr. Tu, who is this woman?"
The eyes were focused on Guo Tu again, and everyone was waiting to hear who it was that could make Liu Zhang so eager.
"call..."
"The second young master Qi is the daughter of the Wuji Zhen family."
Yuan Xi trembled all over, and suddenly the world was spinning.
Everything seems to be heading for the worst.
At this time, Yuan Shao's questioning came again.
"Gongze, Mrs. Zhen has five daughters. Except for the eldest sister Zhen Jiang, all of them are betrothed to others."
"The daughters of the Zhen family are indeed pretty, but they didn't make Liu Zhang so crazy, right?"
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Xi with some sympathy, and then bowed his hand to Yuan Shao.
"My lord, what Liu Zhang wants is the wife of the second young master, the fifth daughter of the Wuji Zhen family, Zhen Mi!"
"ah...?"
Everyone in the room was shocked and opened their mouths.
For a moment, even Yuan Shao himself did not react.
What Liu Zhang wanted was his daughter-in-law!
"Gongze, are you sure Liu Zhang wants Zhen Mi?"
Guo Tu nodded heavily, his expression extremely firm.
"My lord, everything I say is true. This Liu Zhang doesn't want anything else but Zhen Mi."
At some point, everyone in the room focused their attention on Yuan Xi's face.
Anger, shame, Yuan Xi has long been blinded by hatred.
This is the hatred of seizing his wife on the same level as the hatred of killing his father!
If Zhen Mi is handed over like this, then Yuan Xi will not have the shame to live in the future.
The whole world will point fingers at him and call him a bastard.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and immediately cursed.
"Liu Zhang, you thief! I am at odds with you!"
"Nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, he just showed some anger and was immediately greeted by Yuan Shao's angry rebuke.
"Xi'er, how can a man live in heaven and earth and be trapped by a woman?"
"Liu Zhang just wants Zhen Mi to be given to him. I will find a better one for you as a father!"
thump!
Yuan Xi knelt down directly in front of Yuan Shao and burst into tears.
"Father, my child doesn't want anyone else! My child wants Zhen Mi!"
What a joke, in the whole land of Hebei, who is more beautiful than Zhen Mi?
Who in the whole world is as beautiful as Zhen Mi?
Fame is one thing, but Yuan Xi is more reluctant to part with it!
How much suffering did you suffer when you first sought Zhen Mi?
The eldest brother Yuan Tan, or even the third brother Yuan Shang, who doesn't covet Zhen Mi?
If Yuan Xi's mother, Mrs. Liu, had not been protecting Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi would not have known what troubles would have occurred when he became the governor of Youzhou.
I thought that crying, making trouble, and hanging himself would make Yuan Shao slightly moved.
But before Yuan Shao could express his opinion, Yuan Tan couldn't help scolding him.
"Second brother, are you going to destroy your father's foundation in Hebei for a woman?"
"I..."
Yuan Xi was speechless when asked. This hat was too big.
If Yuan Xi dares to admit it, Yuan Shao may not know how to punish him.
Thinking of his beautiful wife, Yuan Xi felt extremely regretful.
From the moment they got married to now, Yuan Xi has never enjoyed Zhen Mi!
After protecting you for so long, you have to give it away?
