"Yuan Shao's envoy?"
Liu Zhang was surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu would send an envoy!"
Even if Liu Bei sent someone, Liu Zhang would not be so surprised.
Only Yuan Shao!
If the person Yuan Shao hates the most in the world is probably Liu Zhang.
Cao Cao, who had defeated him several times, had to be ranked behind Liu Zhang.
The hatred between Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang can even be traced back to eighteen years ago!
Liu Zhang can also be regarded as the driving force behind the destruction of the Yuan family!
"Mr. Qin, since the envoy is here, you might as well meet him. It will also let Yuan Benchu know how insurmountable the gap between him and Gong Qin is now!"
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
When Yuan Shao cleverly captured Jizhou, destroyed Gongsun Zan, and even captured Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou, how majestic was he?
Everyone thinks that Yuan Shao will be the winner in the world.
Who would have thought that in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao would be completely knocked back to his original shape.
The battle of Cangting is more like telling the ownership of the vast land of Hebei!
Liu Zhang couldn't believe it. How could the arrogant Yuan Benchu face such a cliff-like predicament?
Especially when you send an envoy to yourself, how do you feel?
"Who is Yuan Shao's envoy?"
"For Duke Qin, the person who came here calls himself Guo Tu, the chief secretary of the General's Mansion."
When Liu Zhang saw Xun You and Jia Xu, they had no intention of speaking, so they directly gave orders to the guards.
"Bring him in."
Not long after, a scribe was brought into Weiyang Palace. "Guo Tu, the foreign minister, pays homage to Duke Qin."
Liu Zhang had already sat back on the throne and assumed the pretense of Qin Gong again.
Guo Tu lowered his head at the moment. Liu Zhang hadn't seen Guo Tu's appearance yet, but just hearing his voice gave him an extremely sinister feeling.
He is indeed a famous sinister and wretched villain.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
Guo Tu thanked Liu Zhang again and then raised his head to look at Liu Zhang.
"hiss..."
As soon as Guo Tu raised his head, Liu Zhang naturally saw his appearance clearly.
It’s so obscene!
The eyebrows are very short, and the eyebrows are high and the tail of the eyebrows is low!
The inverted triangular eyes, combined with the loose eyelids, further confirmed Liu Zhang's view of Guo Tu.
It can be said that Guo Tu's facial features always tell how sinister and cunning this person is.
Being stared at by Liu Zhang like this, Guo Tu was a little embarrassed and quickly asked.
"Mr. Qin, what's wrong?"
"Ahem...it's okay!"
Liu Zhang really couldn't understand. At any rate, Yuan Shao himself was handsome and heroic.
How could he find a subordinate who likes such a wretched-looking subordinate and relies on him exaggeratedly, even more than Tian Feng and Ju Shou?
"Yuan Benchu sent you to find Gu. What's the matter?"
Upon hearing Liu Zhang's inquiry, Guo Tu quickly answered truthfully.
"For Duke Qin, the general is here to express my congratulations to Duke Qin!"
If this congratulation had been given two years ago, before Liu Zhang had left Hanzhong and Yuan Shao was still dominating the four states, Liu Zhang would have believed that it was full of conspiracy and malice.
The person who least wants Liu Zhang to live well in the world is Yuan Shao.
However, given Yuan Shao's current downfall, he no longer has any spare power to plot against Liu Zhang.
All the foreign races were wiped out by Liu Zhang, and the surrounding forces did not take Yuan Shao seriously at all.
Now Yuan Shao is just a wild dog that has been beaten and maimed, lying on its back and lingering.
Liu Zhang was confident that even if he put his hand into Yuan Shao's mouth, he would be unable to bite him and bleed!
"Haha, the general still has the heart to congratulate me?"
"When you heard about Gu Jianguo's declaration of justice, didn't he get so angry that he vomited blood?"
It was precisely because of his manipulation of Yuan Shao that Liu Zhang could humiliate him so unscrupulously!
Guo Tu's face was extremely embarrassed. Yuan Shao not only vomited blood, but almost died of anger!
However, I couldn't say these words to Liu Zhang, I could only apologize again and again.
"Qin Gong was joking. The general congratulated Qin Gong sincerely. It's too late to be happy in Nanpi!"
Liu Zhang naturally didn't believe a word Guo Tu said.
"Okay, you don't have to beat around the bush, just say what you have to say!"
"But let me state in advance that I will not agree to anything to Yuan Benchu."
Hearing this, Guo Tu showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and kept complaining in his heart.
Damn Liu Zhang, how can I speak after you have said this?
However, with a mission, Guo Tu could only continue speaking in a low voice.
"Qin Gong Mingjian, my lord wants to form an alliance with Qin Gong to fight against the national thief Cao Cao and restore peace to the Han Dynasty!"
He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and it was just as Liu Zhang expected!
This also shows how miserable Yuan Shao was at this moment, and he was willing to bow to Liu Zhang.
"Unfortunately, you are late. Gu has just formed an alliance with Prime Minister Cao."
Guo Tu was not nervous because of Liu Zhang's refusal. He had expected this situation.
"Mr. Qin, please listen to the next words!"
"Speak."
Guo Tu looks wretched, but his etiquette is very thoughtful.
Not only did he have great respect for Liu Zhang, but he also respected Jia Xu and Xun You who were standing beside him.
"Duke Qin, everyone knows that Cao Cao is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. He always has the ambition to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself on his own. Especially after defeating the general Yuan Shao, his ambition became extremely expanded."
"If Duke Qin hadn't dominated the northwest and was so powerful that the Han Dynasty would have collapsed long ago!"
Guo Tu had a good grasp of this demotion and promotion, and raised Liu Zhang to a transcendent height.
However, these little tricks could not make Liu Zhang lost.
"Guo Tu, Cao Cao is a Han traitor, isn't Yuan Shao the same?"
"Don't the Yuan family have any ambition to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish themselves on their own? Do you dare to say that Yuan Shao has no selfish motives in separatizing the prefectures and counties?"
Guo Tu smiled at first, neither admitting nor denying.
"Qin Gong Mingjian, in these troubled times, those who do not have the ambition to dominate the world are mediocre!"
"Guo Tu dare not deceive Duke Qin. My lord does have great ambitions, but at least for now, he still focuses on supporting the great cause of the Han Dynasty!"
"However, Guo Tu dares to assure Duke Qin that Cao Cao at this time is absolutely treasonous!"
"Cao Cao..."
"Okay, Mr. Guo, please stop for a moment."
Guo Tu had just prepared to be passionate and generous, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Qin, I..."
Liu Zhang knew far better than Guo Tu about who Cao Cao was.
Besides, Liu Zhang had no intention of discussing world affairs with Guo Tu here.
If you have the time, you might as well go to Changle Palace to find your three lovely wives.
"Guo Tu, just tell me directly, don't waste Gu's time."
"Just tell me Yuan Shao's request and the price to pay."
Guo Tu was embarrassed. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to act so unreasonably.
"Since Qin Gong is so straightforward, I will tell you frankly."
"The general wants to invite Qin Gong to send troops to the Central Plains to attack Cao Cao. After the success is achieved, Cao Cao's territory will be divided into two!"
Even if he had no intention of sending troops, Liu Zhang had to be aroused.
"How to divide it?"
Guo Tu pursed his lips and smiled, trying his best to show his sincerity.
"After the event is completed, all Sizhou will belong to Qin Gong, and the generals will only be Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou."
"And the general will send the emperor to Qin Gong!"
