Yuan Shao smiled disdainfully, and the ministers in the hall also showed contempt. Now Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself, and Yan Xiang was still exaggerating. What substantial content could he have?

"The advantage of being great is that I think the advantage of being great is that Cao Cao asked to step down, and then the world will be peaceful and the sea will be clear! Haha..."

Yan Xiang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately responded: "Sir, it's a mistake. If Prime Minister Cao asked to step down, the world would definitely be in peace. Can the ambitious Liu Bei watch the adults sweep the world?"

"Well......."

This sentence is like an accurate sharp arrow, accurately hitting the most secret part of Yuan Shao's heart, sweeping the world, is Yuan Shao's ultimate dream. All those who block this dream will be Yuan Shao's enemy, Cao Cao is, and Liu Bei is!

"You don't need to sow discord here. What exactly Cao Cao wants to do? Come quickly!"

"Sir, Prime Minister Cao is here to come here to make peace with you!"

"Making peace? This is a great benefit? Haha... it is a great benefit for Cao Cao!" Yuan Shao laughed.

"hehe....."

Everyone in the hall also laughed together. Yan Xiang was unmoved and smiled at everyone's ridicule and contempt. Only when Yuan Shao laughed so hard that he could not check it, Yan Xiang spoke slowly.

"Sir, Prime Minister Cao naturally has conditions. Do you want to hear the conditions that Prime Minister Cao will promise?"

"Conditions, can Cao Cao still retreat and let go? However, now I don't need Cao Cao to retreat and let go, so I will naturally take it!"

"Sir, Prime Minister Cao did not retreat. Instead, he gave up the three counties and the people and the cities were left unmoved to the Lord. I wonder if this is a huge benefit?"

"Haha....uh! What? Three counties!?"

"Yes, the three counties, Taishan County, Lu County, and Rencheng County. If Lord Yuan signs an armistice agreement and accepts the position of Yanzhou Governor appointed by the emperor, Prime Minister Cao will completely withdraw from the above three counties, leaving no soldiers or soldiers, and the boundaries will be strengthened from then on. We both sides will stop the troops and speak without invading each other."

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, the hall was quiet. Cao Cao's concession was beyond everyone's expectations. Once this agreement was signed, Yuan Shao really took advantage of it. First, he got a large area of ​​land population for nothing, and then he had enough strategic depth and was easier to defend geographically. More importantly, he was justified in obtaining the position of Yanzhou governor and gained the legal right to rule over Yanzhou from a broad sense.

This is simply a pie falling from the sky! Yuan Shao's thoughts were shaken!

"Lord, if you have nothing to do, there will be a conspiracy!"

Xu You twisted his goatee and said lightly. Yan Xiang looked at Xu You with a smile and said, "The conspiracy is not a question. What Ziyuan is worried about is just that he is not understanding why Prime Minister Cao is willing to make such a big concession."

"Then why did Cao Cao suddenly become so generous?"

"Nothing else, Prime Minister Cao was just trapped!"

Everyone was curious now. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao would admit that he had been trapped. So who had been trapped?

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao was also curious! Who made Cao Cao publicly admit that he had been trapped?

"It's Liu Bei! Liu Bei provoked Han Sui to attack Lord and dragged Prime Minister Cao into the water..."

"Wait, wasn't Han Sui's attack on our army a directive? Why did it become Liu Bei's instigation?"

"Sir, don't you think this is strange? If it were Prime Minister Cao's instructions, why did Prime Minister Cao stop moving at the beginning of the war and missed the best opportunity to attack? If Prime Minister Cao's army advanced northward and restrained Lord Zhuo at that time, could he win repeatedly in Hebei? Can he stick to Han Sui in Dong'a?"

"This..." Yuan Shao did have this doubt in his heart. Now that Yan Xiang said it, Yuan Shao's doubts were naturally hooked up again, and he couldn't help but believe it halfway.

"Hmph, just be clever and despicable. Cao Cao didn't act because he wanted to sit and watch the tiger fight and consume Han Sui."

"Zi Yuan is so bad about this. What kind of virtue can Han Sui be? Prime Minister Cao needs to do this! You see, Prime Minister Cao has only a few letters, and Han Sui's subordinates have fallen apart and turned against each other. This shows that Han Sui is impossible to threaten Prime Minister Cao. Why should Prime Minister Cao be guarded against Han Sui everywhere? Furthermore, if it weren't for Prime Minister Cao's deployment, the Battle of Dongping would not have ended until now, right?"

"Hmph, just quibbling."

"Everyone sees right and wrong now, how can he argue? Look at all the responses of Prime Minister Cao afterwards, they are completely in response to Lord Yuan's military deployment. On the contrary, Prime Minister Cao himself resisted Liu Bei's fierce attack on the western front, and the two fronts started a war against Prime Minister Cao. Since this is the case, why did Prime Minister Cao provoke this war in Yanzhou?"

"this......"

Xu You didn't say anything this time. Of course he didn't know that the initiator of this war was actually Han Sui. Cao Cao did passively participate in the war. Although Cao Cao was optimistic at first that he could swallow Han Sui smoothly and then defeat the injured Yuan Shao, at least he could be controlled across the river in the short term, and then turn around and concentrate his troops to attack Liu Bei.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao's wishful thinking was good in front of him, but in the end, he was smashed by the wonderful performance of Yi Ren. Cao Cao was now stealing a chicken but losing a handful of rice, so he gently threw the crime of instigating a war on Liu Bei. It was a golden plan to escape.

Yuan Shao thought about it, as if Yan Xiang was saying it was very reasonable. All the strange and unreasonable aspects at that time were reasonable.

"So what does this matter have to do with Liu Bei?"

"Of course, although the officials cannot provide any evidence, anyone knows that whoever benefits will be the most suspicious, right?"

"Who benefits...I am now also benefiting!"

"Mr. Yuan's profit is because Lord Yuan is good at employed people and soldiers use their lives, so he can defeat Han Sui completely in the event of small losses. If Lord Yuan is a little wrong and the war is protracted, or Prime Minister Cao does not immediately discover Liu Bei's conspiracy and allow Han Sui to continue to burn the war and postpone the war, may I ask, can Lord Cao benefit? Can Prime Minister Cao benefit? Then who benefited?"

Yan Xiang's words made Yuan Shao feel proud. The previous words sound nice, but the latter words were misleading. The question is, who can eat the sugar coat every time and then shoot the shells back!

"This...is Liu Bei!"

"Sir, wise!" Yan Xiang praised firmly. This conclusion was not said by Yan Xiang, but by Yuan Shao himself. Yan Xiang immediately bit this to death. After confirming this, the two sides had a basis for cooperation, and Yuan Shao was kidnapped to Cao Cao's camp.

Yan Xiang felt relieved again. In the midst of crisis, Yan Xiang rode alone to the camp and took Yuan Shao down in one fell swoop, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

It is of course very important for Yan Xiang to speak sharply and eloquently. What's more important is Cao Cao. Cao Cao selected Yan Xiang to come and diverted Yuan Shao's attention from the beginning. If Yuan Shao had ten energy, this ten energy would be on guard against Cao Cao, but the appearance of Yan Xiang turned this ten energy into five points to personal grudges.

At this time, Yan Xiang talked cleverly and used various means to distract Yuan Shao from various means. Then he turned the war from Han Sui and finally succeeded in making Yuan Shao believe that it was Liu Bei who instigated Han Sui to raise an army. Han Sui kidnapped Cao Cao to join the war. From beginning to end, Cao Cao was passively responding, and the final fisherman was Liu Bei!

Now the last blow is left!

"Sir, I have another question. Compared with Liu Bei, who thinks is stronger, who is weak?"

"This...Liu Bei is a little stronger!"

"In this way, if Prime Minister Cao is forced to the desperate situation of retreating, which side should he choose as a breakthrough? I believe that lord doesn't need to speak too much! Prime Minister Cao is full of sincerity. Since he was deceived by Liu Bei, he will have to pay the price. The land of these three counties is the price of Prime Minister Cao. After the two sides concluded a settlement agreement, Prime Minister Cao will concentrate his troops against Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei is powerful and if he is not careful, this villain may cause trouble in the world!"

Yuan Shao was silent and frowned and thought hard. Cao Cao's words were very clear. If Yuan Shao cooperated and took the three counties and took the initiative to attack Liu Bei, then Cao Cao would do his best to attack Liu Bei. Otherwise, Cao Cao could only pinch Yuan Shao's soft persimmon first, be willing to sacrifice himself, and completely deal with Yuan Shao first.

Seeing Yuan Shao hesitating, Yan Xiang smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, if you are willing to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao, then it is also a good choice for both sides to attack Liu Bei. Now Prime Minister Cao's main force is in Chen County and Runan. The future focus will be Jingzhou, and Lord Yuan can focus on Yanzhou and Sili."

"Lord, you can't. If you go back on your word, you will be abandoned by the people of the world!" Shen Pei immediately spoke out against it.

However, when Yan Xiang heard Shen Pei's objection, he was not surprised but happy. He smiled slightly and did not speak, waiting for Yuan Shao's statement.

Xu You sighed in his heart that Yan Xiang was really smart, and he used this trick to distract himself and move forward and backward again and again. When Yuan Shao was hesitating whether to accept reconciliation, Yan Xiang proposed a military alliance. Although Shen Pei explicitly opposed the military alliance, it was equivalent to accepting reconciliation by default. Yuan Shao's heart would also be affected by Shen Pei's unconscious words.

However, after thinking about it, it seems that accepting reconciliation is not a bad thing. The key is whether Cao Cao's focus is on the western front and fights with Liu Bei to the death, and then develop a new strategy again depending on the situation. In other words, it is to take Cao Cao's bait, and then look back and bite Cao Cao hard.

With this idea, Xu You no longer objected to the proposal of reconciliation.

Xu You no longer had a clear opposition, causing the attitudes of the ministers to undergo subtle changes. The atmosphere in the hall has gradually transformed towards reconciliation. To be honest, Yuan Shao has been blinded by this huge bait. The only thing he is worried about is the risks, but now it seems that the risks are actually insignificant.

Yan Xiang carefully observed everyone, and the last bit of worry in his heart finally faded away. Now that his life is saved, he can still make great contributions. However, in front of Cao Cao, he really has to tighten his tail in front of him! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
