Chapter 360

"Grape wine in luminous cups... this Western Regions wine from the Zhen family is truly delicious, and the poem that goes with it is a perfect match. I didn't expect this Liu Bei to be a man of elegance too!"

He immediately felt a bit sour.

"Liu Bei opened up the trade route connecting to the Western Regions, and Jingzhao and Liangzhou are prosperous; his life is getting better and better, and he must be contained."

"It seems I need to appoint more Captains of Gold-Touching!"

At the same time, Yuan Shao in Yecheng also made relevant arrangements.

Huainan.

Yuan Shu was furious.

"I am already like this, and he, Liu Bei, still wants to lead an expedition against me with Cao Cao!"

Yuan Shu took out the IOUs on the shelf, his expression twisted.

"I can't even put away Liu Bei's IOUs, yet he actually comes to attack me!"

"Is there no conscience at all!"

Yuan Shu looked like a baby who was suffering in his heart.

Yan Xiang cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, in this humble minister's opinion, Liu Bei is just going through the motions. He only brought ten thousand cavalry, and our Shouchun city is high and thick; does he expect to attack the city with cavalry?"

Although Yan Xiang did not suggest that Yuan Shu proclaim himself Emperor, Yuan Shu's hundreds of 'loyal ministers' forced Yuan Shu to proclaim himself Emperor, and he truly couldn't stop it!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu felt much more at ease; Liu Bei was victorious in every battle, which put great pressure on him!

"Good, I will rely on the sturdy city for defense and see how he, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao break me!"

Yan Xiang said again,

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is watching the fire from across the river, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are united, and Sun Ce has rebelled; our army also needs to find strong reinforcements."

Yuan Shu thought of Sun Ce, this two-five-boy, and became furious!

"Damn Sun Bofu, I kindly took him in, he grew up eating my rice, and now that his wings are hard, he has rebelled!"

"Wait until I crush Liu Bei and Cao Cao, then I will lead my army to Jiangdong and destroy this little brat!"

He shook his head.

"My dear minister, where can I find strong reinforcements?"

Yuan Shu suddenly felt that he was living a miserable life; he actually had no friends!

Yan Xiang pointed to the map.

"My lord, Lu Bu of Xuzhou can be a strong reinforcement."

Yuan Shu became even angrier.

"That group of good-for-nothings in Xuzhou are blind; they would rather welcome Lu Bu than let me lead Xuzhou!"

After he finished being angry,

Yuan Shu listened to Yan Xiang's analysis.

"Let my son Yuan Yao marry the tiger-daughter of that scoundrel Lu Bu?!"

Yuan Shu shook his head.

(Li Wang likes) "No, although that Lu Lingqi is good-looking, she is truly too tall; she's even taller than Yuan Yao!"

"And, this Lu Lingqi is involved with the big-eared thief; isn't this bringing shame to my Yuan family!"

Yan Xiang tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting; wouldn't it be great if your grandson is a peerless warrior in the future?"

"Liu Bei has ideas about Lu Lingqi but didn't succeed. If the Crown Prince takes her, Liu Bei will inevitably be at odds with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will have no choice but to lean towards Your Majesty by then."

Yuan Shu's eyes instantly lit up.

"Make the big-eared thief uncomfortable? Good!"

Ever since he met Liu Bei, he had been tricked and mocked by Liu Bei in all sorts of ways; being able to make Liu Bei uncomfortable once, Yuan Shu felt it was worth it.

Yan Xiang's lips twitched.

"It seems my lord has suffered from Lord Xuande for a long time!"

The administrative center of Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was fooled by Yuan Shu's envoy.

His eyes lit up.

"My daughter marries Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao? Then she will be the Empress in the future!"

Lu Bu was worried to death by his daughter; many people knew she had an ambiguous relationship with Liu Bei, so who would dare to come and propose marriage?

In addition, Lu Lingqi was 1.8 meters tall, truly standing out from the crowd, and the space for finding a partner was too small, so she was left over just like that.

Lu Bu not only could get rid of her this time but could also find the Yuan family, who had officials for four generations; how could he not be willing to agree!

Lu Lingqi naturally refused to die!

Lu Bu was furious, tied Lu Lingqi up, threw her onto a carriage, and had Yuan Shu's envoy take her away directly!
