Chapter 252

"I am Guo Tu, I have met Lord Xuande."

Guo Tu saluted Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly returned a salute.

Although he had now become the master of Huainan.

But compared to Yuan Shao, his strength was still far inferior.

Besides this, Yuan Shao was a person from the Yuan family, the head of the world's aristocratic families.

Don't look at Liu Bei always claiming to be a member of the Han royal family.

But the blood relationship between this branch of the Han royal family, the descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and the current emperor was already very far, and it was considered a side branch of the Han royal family.

Compared with the title of the head of the world's aristocratic families of the Yuan family, it was not at the same level at all!

Therefore, Liu Bei would not put on airs when facing the envoy sent by Yuan Shao.

For Liu Bei's reaction, Guo Tu nodded slightly and then smiled:

"Lord Xuande, today I came to find you under the order of my lord."

"Actually, there is a very important matter to discuss with you."

"Oh? I don't know what Mr. Gongze refers to...?" (Guo Tu's courtesy name is Gongze)

Several conjectures instantly emerged in Liu Bei's heart.

"Lord Xuande, as a member of the Han royal family, I think you also know that His Majesty has been suffering in the hands of the villain Dong Zhuo."

"My lord, as a loyal subject of the Han dynasty, has always wanted to rescue His Majesty from Dong Zhuo's hands."

"But... the various warlords of Guandong are fighting on their own."

"With only my lord's force, he cannot defeat Dong Zhuo."

"Now, Dong Zhuo has successively taken Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou."

"The entire western border of the Han territory has fallen into his hands."

"If we let him continue to grow, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to rescue His Majesty."

"Even we, the loyal subjects who harbor the Han dynasty, will sooner or later die at the hands of Dong Zhuo."
