Chapter 66 This person is too terrifying.
When bags of white rice were placed in front of Yuan Shao.
His advisors, who had been arguing endlessly, now fell completely silent.
Before this.
Guo Tu and Tian Feng argued endlessly about how to deal with Li Zhao.
Guo Tu believes that... no matter how capable Li Zhao is, as long as he can be used for his own purposes, that would be a great thing.
In any case, they could use the Yuan family's prestige to keep demanding money in the name of the imperial court.
Why not take something that's free?
Tian Feng's view was completely opposite to his!
Since Li Zhao was able to demonstrate such abilities, it means that this person's threat is far more than it appears on the surface.
We must nip the threat in the bud before the other side develops.
however.
The two factions, represented by the two men, argued endlessly, but Yuan Shao never came to a conclusion.
To some extent, he was happy to see his subordinates like that.
It's easier for him to manage things if they fight tooth and nail over something.
Therefore, there's no need to worry about these so-called smart people teaming up to do something to me.
"This is really good stuff..." Yuan Shao grabbed a handful of rice, letting the grains flow through his fingers.
He was someone who had lived a life of luxury and ease since childhood.
Even the Yuan family had never enjoyed anything so good before.
Not to mention giving them away casually!
But now someone is sending such good grain in large quantities to him.
This huge gap made him somewhat uncomfortable!
"My lord!" Guo Tu was the first to step forward. "The fact that Li Zhao was willing to send these things over means that he can be easily controlled!"
"Otherwise, why would they sell such a good thing so easily?"
talking.
He even glanced back at the group led by Tian Feng before continuing smugly, "This just proves..."
"Our lord's influence still exists; even someone like him must be wary of the Yuan family."
"The fact that they have to obediently comply with our demands further proves that all my previous analyses were correct!"
"We can use this man to continuously replenish the army's food supplies."
"Wouldn't this be a win-win situation, allowing us to win people's hearts and minds?"
Yuan Shao paused in his actions, his displeasure slightly dissipating.
That seems to make sense!
Once you've done this once, it won't be too troublesome later.
Regardless of the outcome, it's always good to gain some advantages first!
Guo Tu knew Yuan Shao very well and understood what he wanted to hear.
After saying this, he cleared his throat and took out a letter from his pocket.
"This is a handwritten letter from Li Zhao. The envoy from Qingzhou also declared that from now on, whatever our lord needs, just ask and they will bring it to him!"
"They just want to coexist peacefully with us; they're... afraid!"
as predicted.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately became excited and hurriedly ordered Guo Tu to deliver the letter.
Read the above content as quickly as possible in front of everyone.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "This kid's got a good head on his shoulders!"
"It seems we won't need to put in too much effort. From now on, he can be responsible for the food supplies, including the paper."
"My lord, you mustn't!" Tian Feng couldn't hold back any longer and quickly stepped forward.
"What do you mean?"
"This Li Zhao is definitely not simple. His ability to endure to this extent, and his skill level, indicate he will surely become a major threat in the future!"
"I still stand by my previous statement: we must eliminate this threat as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, if he joins forces with Cao Cao, or secretly helps him, it will be a huge problem for us!"
He has been trying his best to restrain himself...
It would be foolish to accept these things and then ignore their threats.
In a few years, it will be almost impossible to sell it again.
Not to mention, Cao Cao was also eyeing the situation covetously!
The mighty Lü Bu, who once dominated the world, has now fallen into his hands. He only wants to hear flattery, and sooner or later he's bound to meet his doom!
"So, you mean..." Guo Tu looked at him meaningfully as he walked over.
"Should our lord be afraid of Li Zhao and Cao Cao? Or do you believe our lord is inferior to them?"
"Guo Tu! Stop talking nonsense, I'm stating the facts!"
"Am I not telling the truth?"
Guo Tu glanced back at Yuan Shao, whose face had turned grim, and felt even more confident.
"Let Li Zhaoyuan keep providing us with benefits, then publicly reward him and declare him one of ours!"
"Then do you think... Cao Cao still has the guts to be their enemy? Even if he were to take action, shouldn't Li Zhao be the one who suffers the consequences?"
In this matter, theoretically speaking, Tian Feng is indeed no match for him!
But he understands very well that people can change at any time!
Before he could offer any further explanation, Yuan Shao stood up and said, "Let's do as Guo Tu says..."
"Immediately proclaim to the world that Li Zhao is a man of great integrity and a pillar of the court."
"From now on, I will be someone the Yuan family will focus on taking care of. Everyone must know this!"
"Also, give him a new list and have him deliver the items immediately!"
"I understand!"
Guo Tu cupped his hands in greeting, his smile growing ever wider.
After Yuan Shao left, he straightened up and looked back at Tian Feng and the others.
He coughed lightly and said smugly, "What? You can't even come up with an explanation today?"
"Guo Tu, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later!" Tian Feng stepped forward, glaring angrily.
"You're terrified by a mere peasant? You're hopeless!"
"you……"
"From now on, just stay out of the way and don't speak carelessly anymore. That way, you'll be perfectly safe!"
"..."
……
Ye City.
News of Lü Bu's surrender and the capture of Puyang reached Cao Cao.
He remained silent for a long time, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
They knew perfectly well that Li Zhao's act of sending them grain separately was malicious.
However, they had no choice but to do as the other party suggested, and even took the initiative to build his reputation.
"My lord..." Xun Yu, dressed in a gray-blue robe, quickly walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Cao Cao's expression, he immediately realized that his lord must know.
"I know about Lü Bu's situation, but I'll set aside Puyang for now!"
"No... besides this, there's another problem!"
"Um?"
Xun Yu quickly stepped forward and relayed the intelligence from Yuan Shao's side.
Especially regarding Li Zhao, he started constantly sending him benefits.
"My lord, this Li Zhao has grand ambitions. To be able to lead things to this extent, I'm afraid..."
The usually mild-mannered Xun Yu now revealed his unusual sharpness.
He and Tian Feng, who was far away in Jizhou, shared the same idea on this matter!
Li Zhao is a huge threat!
A person who is capable, has food in hand, and knows how to be patient.
If it is not contained, it will surely grow into an intractable and serious threat in the future!
