Liu Xie smiled and shook his head, "You and I both know that it is impossible for you to surrender, and it is impossible for me to keep such an ambitious Rebel like you."
"And if you are alive, Yuan Xi, Ju Yi, Cui Yan, Xu You, and those who once served you but later served me, they will all feel uneasy."
It is true that there are benefits to Yuan Shao living.
Because Yuan Clan has huge power and influence, Yuan Xi's prestige is not enough to inherit Yuan Clan, only Yuan Shao can control it.
But the disadvantages of his life are even greater.
Not to mention what those people who betrayed Yuan Shao would think, if such a big Rebel is recruited to live and even continue to enjoy the glory Wealth and Honor, the majesty of Imperial Authority will become a joke.
From then on everyone dared to rebel.
After all, the price of rebellion is so small.
Moreover, Yuan Shao's ambitions have grown. Human desires are like rolling stones on mountains. Once they start, they will not stop unless they fall into the abyss.
If you keep it, you will most likely rebel in the future.
"The reason why I am telling you this is to let you know that I am not Pretender Emperor, but I am the real Son of Heaven of Great Han and can lead Great Han towards revival."
"So I hope that for the sake of the common people in the world and my face, you will come forward to recruit the remaining troops in Youzhou and Bingzhou."
Liu Xie slowly revealed his purpose.
Yuan Shao There are still many remnant soldiers in various counties of You Province. In addition, there are Gao Gan's troops in Yi Province, and Guo Yuan's army in Bing Province.
If we resort to force to recover, war will definitely not be avoided. In this way, we don't know how many casualties there will be, and more importantly, a lot of time will be wasted.
But if Yuan Shao comes forward to persuade them to surrender, they can recapture You and Two Provinces without spending a single soldier, and it doesn't take too long. It can also directly add tens of thousands of elite soldiers, greatly increasing its strength.
"If you are willing to help my Offer Surrender Terms troops, although I will still kill you, it will not harm Yuan Clan. I will reuse Yuan Xi and rank it among Three Excellencies." "This is the greatest sincerity I give you."
Liu Xie's expression is very sincere.
Yuan Shao remained silent after listening.
There is no longer any doubt about the identity of Liu Xie.
If Liu Xie really intends to persuade him to surrender, he will definitely sneer at it, because you can tell with your toes that it is a lie.
He committed such a big crime that he even once said, when he didn't know Liu Xie's identity, that he would give him the Zen position after he unified the world.
How could the real Son of Heaven be tolerated?
He will definitely be killed!
But it's worth considering if you're doing business.
He is going to die anyway, and exchanging one person's death for the prosperity of the Yuan Clan is a very cost-effective deal.
There's just one problem.
The face of Yuan Xi appeared in Yuan Shao's mind, and an uncontrollable feeling of disgust and murderous intent arose in his heart.
"Why is it that Wicked Beast!"
Yuan Shao had a look of disgust on his face.
If he had another son, whether it was Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, he would agree to the deal proposed by Liu Xie without hesitation.
But when he thought that the ultimate beneficiary was Yuan Xi, the beast who killed his brother and imprisoned his father, he felt sick and unwilling - he no longer regarded Yuan Xi as his son.
"Benchu Don't worry, think carefully."
Liu Xie also saw Yuan Shao's entanglement, and knew that what Yuan Xi did was too much, which made Yuan Shao extremely disgusted.
As he said this, he poured another Wine for Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao picked up Wine Cup and drank it down in one gulp, then suppressed some of the depression in his heart, glanced at Liu Xie, and asked lightly, "You have taken my Founding Base, what are you going to do next?"
Naturally, what he asked was Liu Xie's future plans.
Although he is the largest prince in the world, after Liu Xie defeats him and annexes his power, his strength will inevitably increase tremendously, but it is not that easy to regain Great Han.
Age of Chaos, Everyone has ambition.
For example, he Yuan Benchu originally just wanted to help Great Han's Powerful Minister, but as his power continued to grow, he also had the idea of getting involved in the throne.
He did not believe that other princes had no ambition to become emperor. They were all loyal, virtuous and good ministers, and would obediently surrender to the emperor's will.
"I suddenly remembered an interesting thing."
Liu Xie smiled faintly and did not directly answer Yuan Shao's question. Instead, he talked about other things.
"I once watched a waterfowl show and saw a group of cranes dancing gracefully under the command of a bird trainer. I was quite surprised at the time. I didn't know why those cranes were so obedient."
"So I called the bird trainer and asked him how he trained the proud crane to be so obedient. Benchu Guess what the bird trainer answered me?"
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "I can't guess."
Liu Xie smiled, but did not continue to talk about it, and answered directly, "The bird trainer told me that he has a total of six cranes."
"Two of them were weak, but they were managed to be submissive by just using some small tricks; the other two were stronger and had a rather tough temperament, but no matter how tough they were, they also surrendered after using some ruthless tactics."
"As for the remaining two cranes, which are neither strong nor weak, after seeing that the other four cranes were obedient, they followed suit."
Liu Xie said, looking at Yuan Shao.
The sharpness in his eyes was hard to conceal.
"The poultry trainer said that you must first conquer the weak ones, and then subdue the strong ones. As for the ones that are neither strong nor weak, you will naturally control them!"
"This is the way to tame birds!"
Liu Xie's seemingly plain but meaningful words shocked Yuan Shao's heart. He looked at the sharp-edged Liu Xie, his eyes full of horror.
"The way to tame birds... is a good way to tame birds."
"He wants to be the best poultry trainer in the world!"
Yuan Shao's expression was complex. Liu Xie's ambition and skill were evident from his remarks just now, which really shocked him.
Said to be a crane, it actually refers to the princes of the world!
Liu Xie's plan is to conquer the weak princes one by one first, and then defeat the powerful ones. As for those with average strength, they will naturally fall behind.
At this time, Charcoal Fire in the furnace goes out.
Wine has also finished drinking it.
Liu Xie said with bright eyes, "Benchu, how are you thinking about it? Are you willing to help me to regain Youyou and Two Provinces?"
Faced with Liu Xie's problem, Yuan Shao still felt hesitant and difficult to make a decision, or rather... still a little unwilling.
Is this really the end of it for him?
After a long time, Yuan Shao said quietly, "Give me some time to think about it. I can't answer you now."
"It's okay, think about it slowly."
Liu Xie readily agreed. For a person as arrogant as Yuan Shao, the fact that he did not refuse directly showed that there was hope, but it was difficult to accept the outcome of failure for a while.
He doesn't mind waiting a few more days.
"Dungeon It's bitterly cold, Benchu you can live in this Side Chamber. You gave me good food and clothing, and I won't treat you badly in this regard."
"But Benchu, you'd better not think about escaping. This house is full of people and spies that I have installed. I won't be as careless as you."
"I won't give you any chance."
After Liu Xie said this general warning or reminder, he took a deep look at Yuan Shao, stood up and left directly.
Within Side Chamber, only Yuan Shao is left.
After a long time, a faint sigh sounded.
Outside the yard, Zhang He is guarding it with people.
After Liu Xie walked out of the yard, he ordered him, "Good guard Yuan Shao. Don't let anyone get close without my order. If he tries to escape, kill him on the spot."
"No!"
Zhang He felt a shiver in his heart and responded respectfully.
Liu Xie then continued to stride away. He felt the cold wind blowing in his face, but his heart was extremely relaxed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"This world belongs to me after all!"
"Benchu, I hope you can be smarter and cooperate with me, and don't be ungrateful."
Chapter 259 I Liu Xuande also want Enfeoffment as a King
Yi Province, Shu Commandery.
Provincial Governor's Residence is a lively scene with singing, dancing, music, and guests drinking and drinking among each other.
The three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were also at the table.
They are the protagonists of today's banquet.
Governor of Yi Province Liu Zhang sat Seat of Honor high, held up Wine Cup and smiled at Liu Bei, "Nanman has been harassing Yi Province for a long time. Xuande has done a great job in putting down the rebellion this time!"
"Come on, come on, let me toast you!"
Liu Bei raised his glass and said humbly, "Governor of Yi Province is overly praised. I just did my best."
"Bei is not good at leading troops in battle. The fact that he was able to defeat Nanman is all due to my two brothers."
Liu Bei took the initiative to mention Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Xuande Don't worry, of course I will not forget the contribution of the two generals. I will go to the table Son of Heaven to express my merit for them."
"But Xuande, there is no need to be too modest. I also appreciate your contribution. It is no less than that of the two generals."
Liu Zhang admires Liu Bei very much.
It's Han House clansman again. He's also good at talking and speaking well. He's also unambiguous in how he handles things, which makes him very satisfied.
"Lord."
At this moment, Zhang Song, the counselor under Liu Zhang, suddenly stood up and said, "Xuande has been defeated since Yi Province Zhang Lu, retired Nanman, and greatly weakened the influence of Five Pecks of Rice Way among the Yi Province people, which can be said to be outstanding achievements.
