The messenger that Yuan Shao sent to Julu City to deliver a letter to Lu Fengnian quickly returned to Yuan Shao's camp in Youzhou.
Yuan Shao led the army into his tent. The messenger knelt on the ground and reported to Yuan Shao.
"Greetings, Lord!"
When Yuan Shao saw the messenger return, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked,""How's the situation?"
"My lord, I am incompetent. Lu Fengnian did not take Julu City!”
"Please forgive me, my lord!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately said sternly,""What?"
"I gave Lu Fengnian a city for free, and he still put on airs and refused to accept it?”
"Everyone, take a look. This Lu Fengnian is very arrogant!”
Xu You also frowned slightly. He stepped forward and cupped his hands."My lord, please calm down."
"This Lu Fengnian is not a mediocre person, and he has Chen Gong by his side, so he would not easily accept the lord's good intentions.”
"Let the messenger explain in detail!"
Yuan Shao trusted Xu You the most, so he patiently asked the messenger,""How is the situation with Lu Fengnian this time? Quickly report in detail!”
The messenger did not dare to hesitate and quickly lowered his head."This humble servant is ten miles away from Julu City. I will split up with fifty thousand elite soldiers and ride alone to Julu City.”
"Unexpectedly, Lu Fengnian was armed to the teeth, leading the famous White-robed Army and the Breaking Ranks Battalion to stand guard at the gates of Julu City!”
"This humble servant thought that Lu Fengnian must have sensed the 50,000 elite soldiers accompanying him and thought that the lord was going to send troops to him, so he made preparations in advance!”
"I didn't dare to delay, afraid that he would misunderstand, so I quickly dismounted and saluted, explaining my intention to leave.”
" Then, Lu Fengnian laughed heartily and said that the lord was born into a prestigious family of four generations and three dukes. He had always had prestige and that the emissary personally sent by the lord must be received with the highest level of etiquette!”
Speaking up to this point, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said in a displeased tone,""This kid is so arrogant!"
"I respect him a bit, I only ordered fifty thousand elite soldiers to station ten miles away from Julu. He's good. He's arranged his entire army to show his might!”
This Yuan Shao wasn't a mediocre lord, his insight wasn't bad at all.
" Please calm down, my lord," Tian Feng said." Lu Fengnian is young and full of vigor. It's normal that he won't show weakness easily."”
"I'm afraid that he's deliberately hiding his strength to hide his deep shrewdness. This is the truly terrifying thing!”
Yuan Shao was slightly surprised when he heard this. He stroked his beard and said,""Oh? Is this Lu Fengnian really that shrewd?"
Tian Feng cupped his hands and said,"Lord, you can't underestimate me!"”
Xu You also stepped forward and said,"My lord, this child is extraordinary. We cannot treat him lightly."”
"He clearly knows that the lord has sent 50,000 elite soldiers to accompany him, but he still dares to act so arrogantly. I'm afraid that he's not only trying to hide his shrewdness, but he's also warning the lord!”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he slammed the table and stood up."Bastard! A mere yellow-haired brat who is still wet behind the ears with a few thousand soldiers dares to show off to me?”
Xu You bowed and continued," My lord, please calm down. Let the messenger continue to report before making a judgment!"”
Yuan Shao glared at the messenger and said,""Continue!"
The messenger bowed his head and continued," Reporting to my lord, that Lu Fengnian is really like the rumors say. He is a young general who has yet to reach the age of adulthood."”
"But this humble servant has seen countless people. This child can't be underestimated!”
"Although this child is young, his aura is still shocking. The killing intent and killing intent from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood can't be faked!”
"That valiant and invincible aura is simply like a god descending to the mortal world!”
"Forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid that even General Yan Liang and Wen Chou are no match for him!”
Hearing this, Yan Liangwen glanced at the messenger and snorted coldly.
The emissary became more and more fearful and prostrated on the ground.
Yuan Shao motioned for him to continue.
The envoy continued," And his infamous white-robed army. When I look at them, they are indeed very majestic. A murderous aura assaulted my face. They are incomparably cold and their fighting spirit soared to the sky!”
"I don't dare to look at them at all. They're really the best elite troops in the world!”
"As for the Breaking Ranks Camp that once belonged to Lu Bu, there is no need for me to go into detail.”
Yuan Shao frowned, his expression changing slightly.
"It's actually so exaggerated?"
"I'm afraid that's not all!" Xu You sighed.”
"My lord, Lu Fengnian defeated the generals of Cao's camp and led the white-robed army north to Jizhou. Cao Mengde did not dare to stop him!”
"This is enough to explain the problem.”
"Looks like he's warning us. If we really fight, he won't be afraid at all! He's asking us not to force each other so that we can live in peace!”
Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
"Mm, not bad. Cao Aman is very proud of his reputation, but he is willing to let Lu Fengnian leave. We can't underestimate this second brother Lu Bu!”
"Looks like we can't easily become enemies with him. We have to do our best to be on good terms!”
"However, if that's the case, won't our goodwill be in vain?”
At this moment, the messenger kneeling on the ground hurriedly said,"No! It wasn't in vain, my lord!"
"General Lu personally said that although the lord had the intention to send Julu City away, the lord's solid family background was also built by fighting with knives and spears. He couldn't be thick-skinned and accept the favor.”
"He will only be staying in Julu City for a few days.”
"However, he has already felt the lord's intention to befriend him. Ask this humble servant to pass on the message to the lord. Just treat it as Lu Fengnian owing the lord a favor and will definitely repay it in the future!”
Hearing the messenger's words, Yuan Shao's expression finally became a little better.
"Yes! This Lu Fengnian is quite tactful!"
"Since I owe you this favor, there will be plenty of opportunities to rope me in and befriend me in the future!”
"This matter is considered to have been done well. Although it was a little different from my original intention, the gains are not small.”
The messenger kowtowed in gratitude.”
Everyone smiled again, but Xu You frowned.
"This Lu Fengnian is quite smart. I'm afraid Chen Gongtai must be behind this!”
"Forget it, such a good general can't be recruited in a day. We have to plan slowly!”
"It's a great progress to be able to get a favor!”
At the same time, in Julu City, the city lord's manor was filled with guests!
