Chapter [138] Xu You Boarded The Pirate Ship
"You bastard! You are too deceitful!" Yuan Shao smashed the bamboo slips in his hand, jumped to his feet and cursed: "Lu Bu! I swear to kill him!"
Xu You on the side hid far away, for fear that Yuan Shao would vent his anger on him.
What was written on the bamboo slips was the unfair treaty made by Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao went crazy after reading it.
Looking at the crazy Yuan Shao, Xu You didn't intend to stop him, and let Yuan Shao vent his anger first, otherwise he would be easily scolded.
After a cup of tea, Yuan Shao was out of breath and stopped venting.
"My lord, don't be impulsive!" Xu You then persuaded: "The peace talks were hard-won.
"And the reason why Lu Bu offered such a harsh condition is self-evident!"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao asked immediately, "What is the meaning of such harsh conditions?"
Xu You cleverly said: "My lord, Lu Bu made such a harsh condition just to annoy you, so that you can continue to fight in a fit of anger.
"Then Lu Bu has no plans for peace talks at all. My lord is wise and wise, so don't be fooled. Don't fall for Lu Bu's aggressive tactics."
Yuan Shao's expression changed when he heard the words, "You mean that Lu either did it on purpose, or he just hoped that the peace talks would fail, and then he used an excuse to attack Hebei."
"My lord is wise!" Xu You said immediately, "Your lord doesn't know something. While Lu Bu asked me to come back for peace talks, he secretly asked Guan Zhong's soldiers to leave the pass and come towards Luoyang."
"I was in the enemy's camp, and I happened to hear this secret news."
"Once my lord breaks up the peace treaty, Lu Bu will inevitably send troops again, and this time he will directly invade our Hebei territory.
"Gongsun Zan has not been completely wiped out, if Lu Bu invades Jizhou, it will be too late to regret!" Xu You said earnestly: "Master, the overall situation should be the most important thing!"
An unequal treaty was originally a humiliating matter for Yuan Shao.
But under Xu You's words, the treaty became a conspiracy. If Yuan Shao didn't sign the treaty, he would fall into Lu Bu's trap.
Signing the treaty before was humiliating, not signing it now is foolish.
"Are you really going to agree to Lu Bu's conditions?!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a shame! After the news spreads, how will the people of the world treat me, Yuan Shao?"
"My lord, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years." Xu You continued to comfort him, "Think about Goujian, the king of Yue, who lived on his salary and tasted his courage, and will finally be ashamed!" 々!
"But these conditions are too harsh." Yuan Shao frowned.
As soon as Xu You heard Yuan Shao's tone, he knew that Yuan Shao had been persuaded by him, and his heart was already inclined to sign the treaty.
"My lord, in fact, it looks harsh, but in fact it doesn't have much influence." Xu You said.
"Oh? How do you say it?" Yuan Shao asked immediately.
At this moment, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Xu You seemed to be the most trustworthy counselor.
Originally, they were young, and the two had a good relationship, and Xu You won the opportunity for peace talks, which made Yuan Shao rely on him more and more.
"My lord, let's look at the first day. We won't let us occupy the area west of Taihang Mountain. This is nothing more than not letting us get involved in Bingzhou. Since we are all defeated, we naturally won't be able to invade Bingzhou in a short time. If you promise Lu Bu, there will be no loss." Xu You paused for a moment, then continued: "It's not too late to make a comeback when we are in urgent need of strength."
After listening to Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao nodded again and again, thinking it was very reasonable, "Continue talking, what's next."
"There is nothing to say about the second point. We captured 10,000 people before, and now we just return their things. From a legal point of view, it is also what should be done." Xu You said slowly.
"But... alas!" Yuan Shao said with a sad face, "But those captives are all lost!"
"That's our reason, and it's not that Lu Bu's conditions are harsh, we can't refuse." Xu You spread his hands and said.
"What about the third one?" Yuan Shao skipped over the second one, obviously agreeing with Xu You's statement.
"The third thing is to spend money to buy peace. We are defeated in the end. If we want to get out of the whole body, we must pay some price." Xu You continued: "Hebei is rich, with 200,000 shi of grain and grass every year. It's not something that is too much to afford, and it doesn't hurt to give it to them."
Yuan Shao sits on the Hebei Plain, with a large area of arable land and a large number of households. The 200,000 shi of grain and grass every year is really nothing, except that it is a bit humiliating.
"As for the fourth article of trade, this article is not only not harmful to us, but also beneficial." Xu You said: "When we opened up trade with Guanzhong before, Hebei has obviously prospered a lot, and it is no problem to agree to this article.
"The last one is actually the most harmless."
"The imperial court is out of reach for Qingzhou. We only need to take out a part of the salt and send it to Guanzhong, and we can intercept some of the sales ourselves, and the imperial court will not find out."
"What's more, these salts are boiled from sea water, and there is no cost, so why not give some to the imperial court for nothing?"
The original unequal treaty became less unacceptable under Xu You's rhetoric.
And under the lure of Xu You, Yuan Shao decided that Lu Bu did not want peace talks, but wanted to continue the war.
So, agreeing to sign the treaty at this time will undoubtedly smash Lu Bu's conspiracy, which makes Yuan Shao more inclined to sign the treaty.
Moreover, Yuan Shao also had a feeling that after signing the treaty, he took advantage of it, while Lu Bu suffered the disadvantage.
"I signed it!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and agreed.
Xu You, who had already spoken so dryly, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yuan Shao agreeing.
In any case, the task given by Lu Bu has been completed, and Xu You no longer has to worry about Lu Bu making things difficult for him.
However, Xu You didn't know that this was just the beginning. Since he was on Lu Bu's thief boat and helped Lu Bu to cheat Yuan Shao, he would never even think about getting down in this life.
Luoyang.
Lu Bu looked at Xu You who came to return to his command, his face was full of approval.
"`~Mr. Ziyuan really did not disappoint me. Mr. Ziyuan has contributed a lot to the success of the peace talks so quickly!"
Hearing Lu Bu's praise, Xu You forced a smile on his face, but he didn't feel that this was something to be happy about.
"Mr. Ziyuan, let's keep in touch in the future." Lu Bu said again.
"Wen Hou was joking, you are in Guanzhong, and I am in Hebei, so there is no need to keep in touch." After finishing the peace talks, Xu You wanted to separate himself from Lu Bu.
"Oh?" Lu Bu laughed mockingly, "Then I don't know how Brother Benchu will treat Mister when he knows the whole story? Oh...Of course, Mister Forgive!"
"You!..." Xu You showed a sullen look on his face, "Marquis Wen, I have already done what I promised you, why are you still pestering me?"
"Hehe, sir is such a great talent, so naturally he wants to use it for me." Lu Bu continued: "Stay well by Yuan Shao's side and listen to my orders at any time. Your wealth will be indispensable in the future.
"Of course, if you have evil intentions, I don't mind telling Yuan Shao all the good things you have done, such as who lied to Yuan Shao and tricked him into signing this humiliating treaty." (Zhao Zi)
Using one lie to cover up another lie can only lead to a path of no return.
Xu You's face was pale, and he knew in his heart that Lu Bu had completely manipulated him to death.
The deadly handle is in Lu Bu's hands, and he can only obey Lu Bu's orders in the future.
"I heard that Mr. loves money?" Lu Bu laughed and said, "I have already asked Zhen Yan to prepare a big gift for Mr.! I think I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Wang."
Yu Ren pays attention to the combination of kindness and power, since he has been threatened, it is time to give some rewards.
A simple threat can only make Xu You hold a grudge in his heart, and he might give himself a cruel one at any time.
Hit a stick, and then give a sweet date to dilute the hatred in Xu You's heart.
"Thank you... Marquis Wen." Xu You said bitterly.
Xu You is a smart person "quickly accepted the reality halfway.
"Sir, please go back." Lu did not issue the order to evict the guest.
Xu You closed the curtain, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Xu You leaving, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth slightly raised. After Xu You saw the big gift, he would definitely forget these unpleasant things. .
