Chapter 244: Yuan Shao: Actually, I'm also very moved
Liu Yan followed the eunuch's instructions and came to an inner hall, sat in front, picked up a book at random and started reading.
He raised his head and glanced at the person who came to see him.
He said slowly: "Who are you, and why are you here to see me?"
A man dressed as a servant came forward, bowed slightly with his hands, and said, "Chen Fang, a common man, comes to pay homage to His Majesty in the name of my lord."
"Oh, your surname is Chen?"
"Your lord is from the Chen family in Yanzhou."
Liu Yan put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head and asked.
Hearing that the other person's surname was Chen, he could probably guess the purpose of this person's visit.
"Your Majesty is wise, the head of my family is the Chen family of Yanzhou."
The boy answered truthfully.
"If you are not in Yanzhou to help your lord deal with Cao Cao, why are you here with me?"
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao is unethical, please save our Yanzhou nobles!"
"As long as your majesty agrees to save our Yanzhou noble clan, my lord has said..."
"Enough!"
"What, you go back and tell your lord that I will not send troops to Yanzhou."
"If your lord is willing to come to Liangzhou or Yizhou, I wouldn't mind taking them in."
"Okay, that's it."
Before the boy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yan.
As expected, things did not surprise him.
This person was sent by the Yanzhou family to seek help from him.
It's not that he doesn't want Yanzhou.
But he didn't want to get into trouble with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
The top priority is to unify Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, and then move north to Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Tuyanzhou.
As long as Cao Cao doesn't offend him, he won't provoke Cao Cao for the time being.
The two sides currently only have conflicts in the Hetao above Chang'an.
After saying this, Liu Yan stood up and turned around to leave.
There is no need to waste time on him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Liu Yan was about to leave, the boy couldn't help but become a little anxious.
This plot is wrong.
Doesn’t Liu Yan want to take over the Central Plains?
"Please come back."
The young man wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the eunuch, so he had to give up and tell their lord the news that Liu Yan was unwilling to assist.
.......
"Brother, second brother, please wait a moment!"
At the same time, on the other side, Liu Zhang stopped his eldest brother and second brother.
"Why did the fourth brother stop the eldest brother and the second brother alone and didn't call me?"
He saw his fourth brother stopping his eldest brother and second brother alone, but he didn't tell him.
Liu Hao was instantly unhappy.
What does this mean? Do you want to unite the two of them and discuss dealing with me together?
You must know that in his father's assessment this time, his performance was the best, and he was also the most promising person to inherit the throne.
"I stopped the eldest brother and the second brother because I wanted to discuss with the eldest brother and the second brother how to assist the third brother in capturing Jingzhou."
"Third brother is so smart, why don't you just take part in it?"
Liu Zhang said slowly.
The reason why he invited his eldest brother and second brother was to tell Liu Hao that they would unite to boycott him.
"Huh, big brother, second brother, don't forget, in the scene played by the Immortal, the fourth brother has inherited his father's position."
Liu Hao glanced at Liu Rang and Liu Dan, and then continued to walk forward.
Liu Rang and Liu Dan looked at each other and followed Liu Hao's footsteps and left.
Only Liu Zhang was left alone.
"hateful!"
Looking at the background of several people leaving, Liu Zhang secretly gritted his teeth.
.......
Yecheng, Jizhou.
"Amazing, really amazing."
After obtaining Jiuding, Yuan Shao immediately began to review this information from after 1700.
In this information, Yuan Shao found a map.
A map recording the west side of their Han Dynasty.
Across the Western Regions to the east of their Han Dynasty, there were other countries on the other side of the sea.
Yuan Shao seemed to have opened up a new world. He didn't expect the world to be so vast.
To the east of the Han Dynasty, there was a land that was even more vast than the Han Dynasty.
And they are actually fighting over this bit of land.
The Immortal once set up a competition among the princes to expand their territory. Could it be that he wanted them to expand?
Yuan Shao held this map, frowning, walking back and forth in the hall, thinking, trying to figure out what the immortal meant.
With the expansion of territory, coupled with this map and the spread of knowledge, there are a large number of books in the points mall.
There are various signs that the immortals asked them to expand their territories to expand their territories, rather than to fight among themselves.
Look at Gongsundu alone in Liaodong, not interfering with the affairs within the pass, but fighting tooth and nail to the east. Goguryeo was almost beaten and surrendered, and it expanded its territory and got first place.
And their mutual aggression not only reduced the population growth rate, but also did not expand their territory much.
If this result continues, it won't be long before Gongsun Du becomes the most powerful prince.
"Lord, what exactly is recorded on this?"
Jushou asked curiously as he watched his lord walking back and forth.
"Just take a look."
Yuan Shao spread the map on the document for others to see.
I saw three islands painted on it.
Mark the three names of Asia, Europe and Africa respectively.
And on the islands of Asia, they saw the outline of their Han Dynasty.
Obviously their Han Dynasty was in this place called Asia.
There was a vaster land beyond their Han Dynasty.
For them, this is simply a fantasy.
They always thought that behind the Western Region was the edge of the world, but they didn't expect that there was even more vast land.
The world seems bigger than they believe.
"I think the immortal may want us to expand outside. What do you think?"
Yuan Shao asked everyone.
"Lord, there is another land that is thousands of miles away from us. I am afraid that relying on our own strength, even if we reach there, we will suffer heavy damage. The top priority should be Youzhou."
Although another vast land is tempting, it is too far away from them. To reach there, they must cross the Western Region.
This alone is enough to stump them.
Tian Feng still suggested taking Youzhou as his mission.
"We second the proposal!"
Others did the same, suggesting that Youzhou should be the current target.
"Lord, my subordinates have different opinions."
At this moment, Jushou put forward a different opinion.
"Oh? If you have any comments, please feel free to tell me."
Yuan Shao asked Ju Shou to just say it.
"My lord, among the princes in the world today, only my lord, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao have great potential."
"But now my lord is in Jizhou, Cao Cao is holding Yanzhou, and Liu Bei is holding Xuzhou. They are next to each other, and no one can crush the other."
"In that case, why doesn't my lord cooperate with them?"
"With the power of my lord, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, they are enough to conquer the entire world."
"My lord, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei are exploring overseas together, and it's not up to them to make kings and emperors."
Jushou slowly expressed his opinion.
Judging from the current situation, they have already wasted a lot of time in Youzhou alone.
Not to mention the stronger Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
These are Yuan Shao's obstacles.
The key is that the positions of Liu Bei and Cao Cao are real obstacles. If Yuan Shao wants to develop, these two people cannot be avoided.
If Yuan Shao's position were changed with Liu Yan's, Ju Shou would not raise such an opinion.
I have to say that Yuan Shao was very moved by this proposal.
In order to deal with Gongsun Zan and capture Youzhou, he racked his brains, but he still failed to capture it.
"We will discuss this matter later. Let's look at other things in the information first."
Yuan Shao opened the information and continued to check it.
I'll wait and see if my strategy of disabling the Youzhou map works, or if there is any powerful method in the data that can quickly capture Youzhou, and I'm making plans.
If he could take Youzhou, he would still take Youzhou.
