"Brother, how are you?" The moment Liu Bei returned to the living world, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked forward.
From the live broadcast room, they only saw that Liu Bei was named Xuzhou Mu by the emperor and chose Xuzhou Ding, but they did not know how Liu Bei took over the position of Xuzhou Mu and what role Xuzhou Ding played.
"Thanks to you brothers, everything went well." As the biggest winner of this competition, Liu Bei also had a smile on his face.
With Xuzhou, he can quickly develop and expand his strength.
"Lord, Cao Cao is visiting." At this moment, a guard came in and reported to Liu Bei.
"Cao Cao must have no good intentions when he comes here at this time." After Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao was coming, he immediately concluded that Cao Cao must have some purpose.
"Third brother, please don't be rude."
"Take me to see Duke Cao quickly." Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and immediately asked his guards to take him to see Cao Cao.
"Hahaha, no need, I, Cao Cao, came uninvited." A cheerful voice came from outside. Before Cao Cao's people arrived, the voice came in.
Then I saw Cao Cao coming from outside with Xu Chu and Xun Yu.
"Hahaha, Yide is still so straightforward." Cao Cao teased Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei arranged for him, Cao Cao didn't take it to heart. Anyway, it wasn't just once or twice, and he was used to it.
On the contrary, Zhang Fei blushed and felt a little embarrassed. He said bad things about people behind their backs and they heard them.
"My third brother didn't understand etiquette and made Meng De laugh." Liu Bei replaced Zhang Fei and apologized to Cao Cao.
"What are you talking about Xuande? Yide said it well. I really have something to ask Xuande for this time, but it's not a bad thing." Cao Cao also climbed up the pole. Since you said that I am uneasy, I have no good intentions. , then I will go straight to the point without beating around the bush and get to the point.
"Meng De please, let's talk among ourselves." Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao really had something to do with him, so he invited Cao Cao into the hall, asked someone to arrange a banquet, and started hosting a banquet in honor of Cao Cao.
"Is this the Crouching Dragon Zhuge Kongming mentioned by the immortal?" After Cao Cao came in, he looked at Zhuge Liang beside Chen Gong and asked Liu Bei.
"You have recognized the wrong person. My name is Ge Liang, not Zhuge Kongming." Zhuge Liang heard that Cao Cao guessed that he was the Wolong prince, and immediately retorted to Cao Cao. As long as I don't admit it, then I am not Wolong Zhuge.
"Haha, Meng De admitted the wrong person. His name is Ge Liang. He is quite talented in mathematics and was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Chen." Liu Bei also covered for Zhuge Liang and explained Zhuge Liang's identity again.
At the same time, Liu Bei began to plan in his heart to reduce the number of times Zhuge Liang appeared in public before his strength grew.
"Oh? Then maybe I admitted my mistake." Hearing that Liu Bei was covering for Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao didn't reveal it. He just knew it in his heart. He came here to form an alliance with Liu Bei, not to quarrel.
"Meng De please!" Liu Bei invited Cao Cao in again.
"please!"
Not long after, after Liu Bei's simple courtesy, the banquet officially began.
"Congratulations to Xuande for winning the Xuzhou Tournament." Cao Cao poured himself a glass of wine and congratulated Liu Bei. To be honest, he was extremely envious. It's a pity that he didn't have Liu Bei's luck. If Liu Biao had stopped Liu Bei, then this The victory in the Xuzhou Championship belongs to him.
"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke," Liu Bei said modestly as he picked up his wine glass.
Then the two of them drank together.
"Xun Yu, bring up the gift I prepared for Xuande." Cao Cao slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Xun Yu, starting to get down to the main topic of the day.
I saw Xun Yu holding a beautiful rectangular box in his hands and handing it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao opened the box and found a sheepskin scroll lying there quietly.
Cao Cao took it out of the box.
Seeing Cao Cao take out the sheepskin scroll, everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on the sheepskin scroll in Cao Cao's hand.
"Mengde, what is this?" Liu Bei asked Cao Cao tentatively. He was not sure if what Cao Cao was holding was what he thought.
"This is the map of Xuzhou that Cao won when he answered the question last time. Now it belongs to Xuande!" Cao Cao reluctantly gave the scroll to Liu Bei. With this thing in his hands, even if Liu Bei agreed to cooperate with him , I am afraid that I will always be wary of myself.
I have already memorized Xuzhou's mountain topography and resource distribution. This map is no longer very useful in my hands. Instead of doing this, it is better to give this map to Liu Bei to give Liu Bei peace of mind.
"Wow!"
Just after Cao Cao finished saying this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei started talking about it. Cao Cao was so willing to give the last reward to his eldest brother. Even Liu Bei couldn't sit still and hurriedly spread out the map.
I saw a few flashes of blue light, and a 3D version of the Xuzhou map appeared on the map scroll.
"Mengde, this thing is too valuable, please take it back." After confirming that it was correct, Liu Bei hurriedly rolled up the map again, picked it up with both hands, and returned it to Cao Cao.
Although he wanted it, it must be extremely difficult for Cao Cao to give it to him, so it would be extremely difficult for him to help him.
He has just acquired Xuzhou and his foundation has not yet been stabilized. He does not want to lose Xuzhou like the immortal predicted.
"Xuande, what are you doing? Now that you are Xuzhou Mu, can you rest assured that others are holding this map? Put it away quickly. You, Liu Xuande, are the only one worthy of this thing in the world." Cao Cao pushed the map again Return it to Liu Bei.
If he were Xuzhou Mu, if someone else had such a map, he would stay awake at night and try his best to get it!
"Yes, now you are the Mu of Xuzhou and take charge of the nine counties of Xuzhou. With this map, it will be more convenient to govern Xuzhou. There is no one in the world more suitable than Uncle Liu Huang." Xun Yu on the side also asked Liu Bei to accept this map.
They made several rubbings of Xuzhou's mountainous landforms and town distribution. After giving this to Liu Bei, they lost nothing except losing real-time control of Xuzhou's terrain, and it also allowed Liu Bei to see his sincerity.
"This..." Liu Bei began to hesitate. He didn't know whether to accept the map.
"My lord, please accept it." At this time, Chen Gong also persuaded Liu Bei to accept the map. They finally agreed to obtain a state, and they were qualified to compete with other heroes. This map recorded the mountains and landforms of Xuzhou, Li Ru It was Liangzhou that was quickly captured with the help of the Liangzhou map.
They can only rest assured about the map of Xuzhou with Liu Bei.
"I don't know why Meng De came here this time." Liu Bei asked Cao Cao. He still wanted to hear what Cao Cao's purpose was before deciding whether to accept the map.
"Form an alliance! The purpose of my visit this time is to become an ally with Xuande who will advance and retreat together."
"Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have become allies, and Yuan Shu has joined forces with Shi Xie from Jiaozhou to deal with Liu Biao and Sun Jian. After the attack on Dong is over, does Xuande think that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers will honestly become Han ministers?" Cao Cao told Liu Bei the purpose of his trip and asked Liu Bei.
"No!" Liu Bei even thought about it and knew that even if Dong Zhuo died, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would definitely not be willing to be Han ministers with heavy troops in hand.
Their wolfish ambitions have long been exposed. Not only will they not be Han ministers, but they will also try every means to control the emperor in their own hands in order to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes!
"That's right, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will definitely not be honest officials of the Han Dynasty. After this attack on Dong is over, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will definitely eliminate their dissidents, and Xuande and I are the thorns in their eyes. , so I hope Xuande can become an ally with me to jointly resist brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!" Seeing that Liu Bei also understood the current situation, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to become an ally with him.
After Lu Bu agreed to marry him, he and Lu Bu's combined strength could still resist Yuan Shao for the time being, but as long as Yuan Shao didn't make mistakes, it would only be a matter of time before they lost. The populations of Bingzhou and Yanzhou really couldn't be compared with Jizhou. .
It's very difficult to deal with one Yuan Shao, let alone Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu now unite. He can't deal with them both by himself, so he needs an ally or several allies to jointly resist Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. .
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cao Cao's conditions. He thought that Cao Cao would put forward some conditions. Who knew that Cao Cao wanted to become an ally with him. For him, becoming an ally with Cao Cao was indeed a harmless thing, and Liu Bei agreed without much thought.
"Okay, I promise Meng De that you and I will become allies in advancing and retreating together!" Liu Bei then accepted the map, drank the wine glass in one gulp, and agreed to Cao Cao's request for an alliance.
"Okay, Xuande is still so happy!" Cao Cao also picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
In this way, the two temporarily became allies to resist Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
...
In Runan, Yuzhou, at this time, Yuan Shu's civil servants and generals were persuading Yuan Shu.
After the Xuzhou Tournament, Yuan Shao exchanged various books related to herbal medicine such as "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other books related to herbal medicine, and also sent people to invite famous doctors from all over the world. .
Yuan Shu's operation made Yan Xiang, Ji Ling and others panic.
The last time Yuan Shu was obsessed with alchemy, his entire senior management fell into erysipelas, leaving them leaderless. In the end, they lost the three counties of Shouchun, Chen and Nanyang. It seems that Yuan Shu wants to continue to refine alchemy this time.
"My lord, you can't. Have you forgotten about the fake heavenly book last time?" Yan Xiang begged Yuan Shu to give up alchemy.
"Yes, Lord, you must not touch the elixir matter!" Ji Ling also admonished Yuan Shu on the side. The process of quitting erysipelas was too painful.
Other civil servants and generals also asked Yuan Shu to stop refining elixirs.
"What are you doing? When did I say that I was going to make elixirs?" Yuan Shu looked at the civil servants and generals who were admonishing him and was a little confused. Since the last fake book, he didn't even dare to touch the elixirs. Dare to touch it, let alone make an elixir.
"My lord, if you don't make elixirs, then what are you going to do in exchange for these medical books?" Yan Xiang was also a little confused when he heard that Yuan Shu was not making elixirs.
Why don't you make elixirs to redeem these medical books? Why are you searching for those famous doctors all over the world? You can't think of becoming a peerless famous doctor.
No, no, not even the most famous doctor!
"Come on, come on, take a look at this." Yuan Shu handed Yan Xiang a piece of white paper, and he could see the names of many herbs densely written on it.
Yan Xiang almost lost his temper after reading it. It was full of names of herbs and it was said that they were not alchemy.
I still keep the elixir formulas you gave me last time.
"Please, my lord, put your great cause first!" Yan Xiang admonished Yuan Shu again.
"Please, my lord, put your great cause first!" Others also followed suit, asking Yuan Shu to return to his true work and stop using these herbs.
"Hey! Why can't you understand? What kind of elixir? This is the formula of the golden sore medicine!" Seeing the misunderstanding among his men, Yuan Shu was also a little anxious. This was based on his calculation based on the golden sore medicine in the Xuzhou Hegemony Competition. The formula came out, but there are still a few missing ingredients that have not been calculated.
He exchanged so many medical books and sent people all over the world to find famous doctors in order to reverse the formula of the golden sore medicine.
The poisonous elixir he refined last time was because Dong Zhuo tricked him. This time he got it from an immortal. The immortal's things couldn't be as poisonous as Dong Zhuo's fake heavenly book.
"What! Golden Sore Medicine!" After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang carefully spread out the white paper with the formula in his hand again, regardless of the image, and looked at it again.
He had personally experienced the magic of the golden sore medicine. During the Xuzhou Hegemony Tournament, after he was stabbed by Guo Bang, Yuan Shu applied the golden sore medicine to him, and the bleeding wound stopped soon after.
This is a life-saving miracle medicine!
Yan Xiang realized the seriousness of the matter. Most of the soldiers on the battlefield were not killed by the enemy, but died from excessive blood loss and wound infection.
If the golden sore medicine can be developed, and then combined with the medical alcohol from the Points Mall, the mortality rate of injured soldiers can be greatly reduced.
But then Yan Xiang frowned, still a little worried. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years.
He was afraid that Yuan Shu would research another poison pill.
"Lord, is this really the formula for the golden sore medicine?" In order to be cautious, Yan Xiang asked Yuan Shu tentatively.
The golden sore medicine was a medicine that appeared in the Xuzhou Hegemony Competition. Logically speaking, no one should know the formula, but Yuan Shu knew the formula, which made him even more worried.
"It should be this one, but it's still missing a few flavors of medicine. I don't know what it is, and the medicine is a bit weak." Yan Xiang took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, which contained the formula he had calculated and used to refine the pill before. An incomplete version of the golden sore medicine developed from the remaining herbs.
This time he was smart and didn't do the experiment on himself.
Instead, he used a pig to test, cut a hole in the pig's body, and then applied it to the pig. The effect of stopping bleeding was achieved, but the efficacy was much worse than in the Xuzhou Competition. As long as the formula was completed, he believed It will definitely achieve the effect of the Xuzhou Hegemony Competition.
Seeing the small porcelain bottle handed over by Yuan Shu, everyone subconsciously stepped back.
What happened with Poison Pill last time was too deep in their memory.
Now I finally got rid of erysipelas, but I can't get it again.
"What are you afraid of? This is not food." Yuan Shu felt helpless when he saw everyone taking a step back.
Even if you are afraid, you have to use your brain. This is for external application, not for internal use!
But we can't blame them. No matter who has had the last experience, they will probably have a shadow of this.
"Don't worry, I will test these things on animals before putting them into use. You just need to do as I say." Yuan Shu said a few words and turned around to leave.
He vowed to research the golden sore medicine and impress the world. In addition to having a good background, Yuan Shu was also extremely talented in medical skills!
