This was the first thought that popped into Chu Nan's mind when he saw Yuan Shu.

Voice of the heart: If you are bold, how dare you look directly at me?
This special talent should be provided by Chuan Guo Yuxi, right?
Looking at Yuan Shu's message, and then looking at Yuan Shu's dull eyes, swollen eyebags, and the irritable aura emanating from his whole body, at this moment, Yuan Shu doesn't have half the magnanimity that a prince should have?
Chu Nan has now seen people in the world. He has seen Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce. Compared with the above four, Yuan Shu gives people the impression that even a tyrant is looking up to him.
"Prefect Chu Nan of Xiapi has met the general!" Chu Nan came to the center of the hall, bowed slightly to Yuan Shu and said with a smile.
The post-general was the title that Yuan Shu had before he usurped the title of emperor. With Yuan Shu's current strength, Chu Nan would not regard him as the emperor. The flag of Lu Bu's side has always been clear.
"How dare you!" Yuan Shu slapped the table and shouted angrily: "I am the emperor of the Zhong family. You are only a mere merchant. How dare you not worship me!?"
"General, forgive me. There are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. I, Xuzhou, only recognize the Emperor of Han!" Chu Nan looked at Yuan Shu and said, neither humble nor arrogant.
In the past, Yuan Shu may still have some heroic spirit, but today's Yuan Shu, even if you don't look at his attributes, it is difficult for people to respect him at all.
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this and shouted: "I will take the left and right!"
"Your Majesty!" Beside Chu Nan, Ji Ling quickly stopped in front of Chu Nan and bowed: "Mr. Ziyan is here to save your Majesty's life. Your Majesty must not do this!"
"It's ridiculous. I am the emperor, why should he come to rescue me?" Yuan Shu sneered and said, "Ji Ling, because of your incompetence, the three armies were defeated by Lu Bu. Do you know what crime you deserve? Now you dare to speak for Lu Bu's people. Could it be that you have already died?"
Two-hearted?”
"Your Majesty, the last general..." Ji Ling looked at Yuan Shu, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer, and bowed bitterly: "I have absolutely no two intentions!"
"Emperor?" Chu Nan pushed Ji Ling away, looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the general is still living in a dream. At present, most of the land that the general controls is owned by Cao Cao. The only remaining Jiujiang has been captured by our army. Most of it, Lujiang Liu
Xun is still unwilling to send troops, and has long been separated from the general. Now the general can use it, and the only place is Shouchun. Although Nan is not very knowledgeable, he has read some history books. Not only can a city be called the emperor, but it can be called the capital of princes.
It's not enough. The general is no more than a county magistrate now, and is in danger of being destroyed. At this time, he is still displaying the majesty of the emperor. It's really not surprising to me that the general will end up like this."
"Come here, why don't I capture this thief, drag him down and chop him down!" Yuan Shu was furious, glared at Chu Nan and cursed.
"Who dares!?" Outside the palace, Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang strode to the front of the palace after receiving the reminder from Chu Nan that he had left the sword Mantis. Huang Zhong grabbed the long sword from the guard's hand and slashed it out, causing the whole palace to tremble.
, when everyone looked around, in front of the Certificate Hall, a veteran general stood outside the door of the hall, and a crack stretched across the entire square in front of the hall.
The officials in the palace couldn't help but gasped, who is this veteran? He has such power.
Chu Nan pressed Ji Ling's shoulders, looked at Yuan Shu and sneered: "The emperor of a mere county cannot kill the ministers of my Han Dynasty!"
"You want to assassinate me!?" Yuan Shu looked at Chu Nan with a bit of fear in his eyes and shouted.
"If I want to kill you now, why do I need to assassinate you? Shouchun's morale has been dampened now, and people's mentality has changed. It is easy for our army to break the city." Chu Nan looked at Yuan Shu and said loudly: "It's time for the general to wake up from his dream of being emperor.
Look at your ministers, how many of them are willing to stand up to defend your poor emperor's authority despite me being so contemptuous of you? Which emperor has the general ever seen who directly argued with the envoy?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, he looked at the ministers on the left and right, anger brewing in his brows, and the ministers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.
"Bastard, why have I ever treated you so poorly!?" Yuan Shu was angry again. Facing Chu Nan, or in other words, facing the power of Huang Zhong's sword, he was a little timid and did not dare to scold Chu Nan anymore, but for his own ministers
, but became even more angry.
"Ants are still alive, let alone people." Chu Nan looked at Yuan Shu and said: "Actually, everyone knows that Shouchun cannot be defended. The reason why it is lingering now is that our Lord does not want the life in Shouchun City to be ruined."
"I still have an army of 200,000. Lu Bu can only win for a while, how dare you say victory?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
"General, do you know how many days this Shouchun grain and grass will be enough for your army of two hundred thousand?" Chu Nan asked rhetorically.
Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
"If you can't even eat, why do these soldiers fight for you?" Chu Nan asked.
"The officers and men under my command are all loyal to the emperor!" Yuan Shu said proudly.
"Loyal men also need to eat." Chu Nan said with some humor: "General, have you ever thought about why these soldiers are loyal to you?"
"I am the emperor!" Yuan Shu said proudly.
"So, even if we starve to death and our families starve to death, we will still be loyal to you?" Chu Nan looked at Yuan Shu and felt that this man was already a little crazy: "How do you treat me and how do I treat you? How can the general treat these soldiers?"
What kindness did you have to allow these 200,000 soldiers to serve the general regardless of life and death?"
"I..." Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of any kindness he had to these people.
Chu Nan pointed at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "General, these counselors must be people close to the general. At this moment, they don't dare to say a word for the general. Why does the general think that those generals who can't even call out their names will
Die for the general!?”
Hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned and looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He was speechless for a moment. Ever since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, no one had ever dared to contradict him like this. I don't know since when, there were very few civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty.
After speaking, even if he was being contradicted at this moment, no one came out to defend his imperial majesty!
Yan Xiang sighed, stepped out of the queue, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Mr. Ziyan came here today, isn't it just to show off his rhetoric?"
Chu Nan nodded and said: "Before, you and I were allies after all. Although the general overstepped his authority and proclaimed himself emperor, which made my lord feel shameful. But now, although my lord hates the general for overstepping his bounds, he still remembers the old alliance and is willing to let the general go."
A way out!"
"How to survive?" Yuan Shu frowned when he heard this: "I still have an army of 200,000 people, why do I need Lu Bu's mercy!?"
He was the fourth generation and the third prince, and even more so, the emperor. What was Lu Bu's background? What qualifications did he have to pity him?
"Our army does not even need to take the initiative to attack the city. We only need to trap the city for a few days. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, the 200,000 troops in Shouchun City will probably be 200,000 bandits. By then, can the general
I don’t know if I will survive, but this Shouchun will be destroyed at the hands of these 200,000 troops." Chu Nan said calmly.
Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to retaliate, Yan Xiang quickly said, "What do you mean by Marquis Wen, are you willing to let His Majesty withdraw from Shouchun?"
Chu Nan shook his head: "I am waiting here because of the general's transgression. The general needs to hand over the jade seal passed down to the country. The master is a great scholar. He can send the general hundreds of miles away. I suggest that the general can go via Xuzhou.
Seek refuge in Yecheng."
"I'm going to beg that concubine?" Yuan Shu said dissatisfied.
"For the present plan, no one can protect the general except him." Chu Nan said calmly: "My lord can only guarantee that the general will not be in trouble in Xuzhou."
"Impossible!" Yuan Shu said sternly: "I will not hand over the imperial seal, and I will never go to that bastard's land."
"Now that I've said this, it's the general's business whether you accept it or not. I've been here since I've said it. It's up to the general to decide where to go." Chu Nan patted Ji Ling on the shoulder and said, "I'm General Ji Ling.
It has been sent back, which shows our lord's sincerity. If the general is willing to fight again, our army will be waiting at any time. However, if the general makes up his mind, he can discuss it with General Ji."
"Dare you ask Mr. Ziyan!" Yan Xiang came out of the queue and called out to Chu Nan.
"What's the matter, sir?" Chu Nan looked back at him and asked.
"Why is Marquis Wen willing to let my lord live? Isn't it just because we were allies?" Yan Xiang asked rhetorically.
"General Yin Ji." Chu Nan pointed at Ji Ling: "My lord remembers his loyalty and bravery, and made an agreement with the general. He is willing to let Mr. Yuan live, but General Ji must be used by my lord!"
Yan Xiang heard this, glanced at Ji Ling, nodded and said, "That's it."
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I hope the general will think about it soon. If Cao Cao crosses the Huai River and attacks the city, it will be difficult for our army to save the general. We will leave the general time.
That’s a lot.” Chu Nan said in a deep voice.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he did not answer, but looked at Chu Nan with a gloomy expression.
Chu Nan cupped his hands, turned around and walked outside the palace. He took Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang and left straight away. No one dared to stop the soldiers along the way.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing Chu Nan leave, Ji Ling sighed and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Is what this person said true? Are you going to betray me!?" Yuan Shu stared at Ji Ling, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.
"The general has indeed promised that as long as they are willing to let His Majesty live, the general is willing to follow them." Ji Ling did not hide anything and told what happened after he was captured.
"I will not die! Come here, drag this man out and kill him!"
"Your Majesty!" Yan Xiang said quickly: "General Ji Ling is also thinking about your Majesty. If your Majesty really does not want to surrender, this is the time to employ people. General Ji Ling is the general of our court. If he is killed at this time, who else can
Lead troops to fight against the enemy for His Majesty!?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, he stared at Ji Ling coldly, stood up, turned around and left the hall without saying a word, leaving only the ministers looking at each other...
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I drank last night and didn’t have time to write. I got up late this morning and the update is late. Please forgive me. Also... there will be a drinking party tonight and the day after tomorrow. Let me tell you in advance that I don’t want to go either, but there are some things I can’t postpone.
I lost it. People tolerate me fishing at work. If you don't go out drinking, you won't be given face. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get along in the future, ugh~
