Bohai County, Nanpi.

In the prefect's mansion, the maids and servants were coming and going, busy delivering fruits and tea to the living room. It seemed that if they were even half a step slow, they would be punished by the steward. In fact, the steward was in a good mood and beaming with joy.

A visitor came to the Prefect's Mansion.

Not necessarily noble, but very popular.

Zhulu Lord Yu Buzhi officially visited the Bohai Prefecture and received great courtesy from the Prefecture.

The general on duty was not there, so the guard sergeants all stood upright, while secretly talking among themselves.

"I know that Zhulu Ling is indeed quite famous and has made some achievements, but for a mere territory to come to see our prefect, isn't such courtesy a bit too much?"

A veteran said contemptuously: "You know nothing!"

The young man who spoke first was not annoyed and said, "I don't understand. If you understand, just tell me."

The veteran knew that the other party was cursing around the corner and glared at the other party, but he did not have an attack after all.

"Don't underestimate the territory. This is not the time of the Yellow Turbans. The strength of the territory is quite good. Although the strength of the troops is a bit weak, they are large in number, and together they are very scary. Just like this time when the heroes of Guandong attacked Dong Zhuo, a territory appeared

There are thousands of soldiers, and their troops are everywhere in the war zone. I participated in the crusade and witnessed the grand scene with my own eyes. If the lord's troops were fighting with the princes' troops and they stood there and let us attack them, it would probably take several days."

"so much?"

"Yes. And not all of the lord's troops are vulnerable. There are several territorial armies with quite good combat capabilities. The most elite ones can even compete with the princes' armies. The Zhulu Army is one of them. During the crusade, the Zhulu Territory was attacked.

, I heard that it involved the Bajun Army and the Wuling Army, and the matter was very big, and there is still no follow-up. Zhulu Ling can win the first place in the camp under such circumstances, which shows how powerful he is."

The young man nodded: "I know, Zhulu Ling ranked first in the camp, so he had no choice but to make friends with the Bohai Prefect. The palace's courtesy to Zhulu Ling and his party must also be to show the magistrate's magnanimity."

"mind?"

The veteran laughed again: "I don't come here empty-handed."

"How many gifts can a territory give?"

"Five hundred top-grade war horses, are they heavy?"

"What!"

The young man was shocked.

Five hundred high-grade war horses are worth millions of gold even in the place where the war horses are produced, and the price will increase when you go to Jizhou. The most important thing is that high-grade war horses are strategic materials, and the number flowing into the south is limited. Many forces are waiting to divide these war horse resources.

Money may not be able to buy a sufficient quantity. What's more, the Bohai Prefecture is short of funds. Even if it is relatively close to the war horse production area, it is difficult to expect the Prefecture to purchase a large amount if it is short of money.

A lord player visited the Bohai Prefecture for the first time and handed out such a heavy gift bill, which was shocking.

It is said that the Zhulu Territory is a powerful territory with a well-known reputation. It is quite important in itself. Even if it is nothing, just these 500 war horses are still qualified to enjoy the high-standard reception of the Taishou Mansion.

Yu Bu Zhi invested 500 war horses because he wanted Yuan Shao, and the power was regarded as protection money from Fei Yu. He also hoped that the first contact with Yuan Shao would make both guest and host happy and lay a solid foundation for the future. However, the outside world did not agree with this.

I don't know these reasons, but I only know that Zhulu Ling gave away five hundred war horses without even frowning. His demeanor as a rich man made people unable to help but worship him.

The reception room of the Prefect's Mansion.

Yuan Shao and Yu Buzhi spoke and laughed at Yan Yan, showing no pretensions to the leaders of the Guandong princes.

Seeing Yuan Shao up close for the first time and chatting with this famous prince, Yu Buzhi was filled with emotion. Even though he knew it was just a game, it still felt slightly unreal.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, and while joking, he secretly observed Yuan Shao and analyzed his personality pattern.

Most of the evaluations of Yuan Shao in later generations were negative. Some people thought that he had great ambitions but little talent. He was too resourceful and decisive. He occupied Hebei and had abundant troops and food, but he lost to Cao Cao, who was beleaguered on all sides and lacked money and food. Therefore, they thought that Yuan Shao was weak and incompetent.

The limelight relies on Yuan's lingering shadow.

However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes of the Yuan family were not only Yuan Shao, but also Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu is the legitimate son, and Yuan Shao is a concubine. In terms of family status, Yuan Shao is far inferior to Yuan Shu. If he relied solely on his family's influence, Yuan Shu would have more reason to achieve hegemony. But whether he was in the court or became a prince, Yuan Shao's achievements were far higher than those of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, the leader of the Guandong Alliance is also Yuan Shao, which shows that he is outstanding.

In terms of results in the struggle for hegemony in troubled times, Yuan Shao can indeed be regarded as a loser.

But many people forget that it was Cao Mengde who defeated him, and Cao Cao's victory was quite lucky.

A simple conclusion is unfair to Yuan Shao.

With a Bohai county, he planned to seize Jizhou, competed with Hebei military strongman Gongsun Zan for supremacy, and finally won the battle. Then he swept You, Qing, and Qingzhou to achieve Hebei hegemony. If Yuan Shao was really a wimp, how could he become Hebei overlord?

The first impression Yuan Shao left on Yu Buzhi was quite good.

The description of Yuan Shao's appearance in historical materials is "presence and majesty". In the game, Yuan Shao is indeed handsome, treats people well, and his speech and behavior show excellent education and insight. He is worthy of being a senior disciple of a famous family. Yuan Shao served as an official in the court.

, his experience as a general, his position is not low, the composure he has gained through the ups and downs of officialdom, the majesty he has honed in his military career, plus the celebrity demeanor he has cultivated in his family since he was a child, combined together, give Yuan Shao a unique personality.

His temperament and personal charm.

When he saw Yuan Shao, Yu Buzhi couldn't help but think of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu's temperament is also very unique, but compared with Yuan Shao, there are still obvious differences.

The majesty of Yuan Shao and the deep-rooted self-esteem of a son from a famous family are something that cannot be seen in Xu Shu.

Xu Shu is more easy-going and dealing with him is like a breath of fresh air. Ordinary Zhulu villagers are happy to talk to him and will not feel pressured because Xu Shu is the coach of the Zhulu Army. Yuan Shao gives people a different feeling. The children of the aristocratic family have no etiquette and sense of propriety in dealing with others.

He is picky, but he always has a sense of distance that repels people thousands of miles away. People can get closer to him, but it is difficult to get closer to him.

With Yuan Shao's status, what he needs is not closeness.

But follow and obey.

Dignified, calm, willing to listen, not prone to express opinions, but once expressed, they are insightful and well thought out. Such a person, coupled with his prominent background, his glorious resume in the court and the military, and his leadership qualities

very obvious.

The princes of Guandong recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, not just because of his origin!

When Yu Wuzhi secretly observed Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao also observed Yu Wuzhi.

So far, he's very satisfied with Yu Wuzhi.

Through the performance of the campaign, players gain the opportunity to make friends with historical NPC characters. Objectively speaking, it is very important to the players, but it is dispensable for the selected historical NPC characters. Moreover, players who have the right to choose

You are not stupid, you will almost always choose princes to make friends. Their purpose is nothing more than to use this relationship to benefit the development of the territory. The selected historical NPC characters are at risk of being sucked.

This is a precious right obtained by player forces through the efforts of national campaigns.

There is nothing wrong with seeking your own welfare.

Whether the selected princes want to support the player forces they have made friends with or how much support they will provide depends on whether both parties can get along happily. The princes can decide on their own. Because of this, Yuan Shao did not feel unhappy when he was selected by Zhulu Ling.

Instead, there was a hint of secret joy.

It is a fact known to everyone that Zhulu Ling is powerful and powerful.

Zhulu Ling ranks first among the princes in meritorious service.

You must know that there were four state governors who participated in the crusade. Zhulu Ling chose to befriend Yuan Shao as the first in the camp. This was a high degree of recognition and affirmation of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao did not appreciate this recognition and affirmation, but was ranked first

After choosing it, I still feel a little proud in my heart.

Based on this, Yuan Shao had a very good impression of Yu Wuzhi.

Before the meeting, his subordinates mentioned their cooperation during the Yizhou rebellion, and Yuan Shao remembered that they had a friendship.

Yuan Shao had almost completely forgotten what happened to Yizhou in the past.

For Yuan Shao, the matter of asking Zhulu Ling for help is over. It is equivalent to finding a guide, but the "guide" ability is quite special. Yuan Shao will not pay too much attention to a guide.

The way the door handles things, the corresponding reward for the other party is that the people below will handle the follow-up processing, and he does not need to distract himself from these small things.

Given Yuan Shao's status, it would be unrealistic for him to feel too grateful for this.

Zhulu Ling asked for crossbow production technology, which was beyond Yuan Shaofang's ability. The person in charge at the time pointed out that it was difficult to achieve and hoped that Zhulu Ling would put forward other conditions. Zhulu Ling did not accept the manager's suggestion and just asked Yuan Shaofang to do his best.

However, a series of things happened in Luoyang later. Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang and was unable to obtain crossbow-making technology for Zhulu Leader, so the return mission was abandoned.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, the current situation is not because he is unwilling to fulfill his promise, and he has no apology at all.

It had been so long that he had completely forgotten about it.

Yu Buzhi sent 500 high-grade war horses, which made Yuan Shao even more elated.

This gift is very important!

Making friends with players usually means giving, and Yuan Shao never thought that he would receive huge rewards.

Are there any other players who want to be friends with me?

Yuan Shao solemnly received Yu Buzhi and others with great joy.

To show the importance he attached to Zhulu Ling, he also brought Feng Ji, Chen Lin and others to accompany him.

After being reminded by his subordinates, Yuan Shao expressed his gratitude to Xu Shu. If it weren't for Xu Shu's "path-opening" characteristic, Yuan Shao's troops would not have been able to bypass the rebel defense line unnoticed and finally achieve a decisive victory. That battle was Yuan Shao's victory.

Bring great reputation.

By the way, Yuan Shao apologized to Yu Buzhi for not being able to obtain the crossbow-making technology and was willing to make other compensation.

How could Yu Buzhi care about this with him, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, adults don't need to take it to heart."

Yu Buzhi's attitude made Yuan Shao feel a little embarrassed.
