After the meeting, two questions arose.

How to get to Liangzhou? Who to send to Liangzhou?

The first problem, easy to solve.

Because in Taiyuan County, there is a good reason - Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The words of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty are the will and the right word.

With Han Cheng's current ability and status, it was easy to ask for a position for the Qiang leaders in Liangzhou.

Anyway, now, there are many former generals and left generals, and they are not bad for these few.

After obtaining the position, he arranged for the envoy to go to Liangzhou to announce the decree in an open and honest manner.

Even if Cao Cao and the others knew that this was going to form an alliance, what could they do? Do you dare to stop them?

Although the power of the Han court was weakened, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still there.

As long as Emperor Han Xian is there, many things cannot be too much, this is the role of righteousness.

After the first problem is solved, there is the second question, which is also a more difficult question, who to send to Liangzhou?

At this time, among Han Cheng's subordinates, there were really many people who could speak well.

Li Ru, Sima Yi, Xu Shu, Du Xi, Zhao Yan, etc. However, these people really can't go to Liangzhou.

The current Liangzhou can be described in one word - chaos.

Qiang, Han, and many tribes.

Today I hit you, tomorrow you hit me.

Today you are my ally, and tomorrow you will suddenly become my enemy.

Among them, big leaders like Ma Teng and Han Sui were not in Liangzhou, and they still had scruples about doing things, so they didn't dare to easily kill the envoy of Emperor Han Xian.

But the leaders of some small tribes, there are only 1,800 people in a tribe, they don't have any scruples, I don't care who you are, after you are killed, it is not better to get some food and property, and be at ease.

Anyway, we are all in the days of 'there is no tomorrow after today', and even if we kill people who shouldn't be killed, how bad can our situation be?

In view of this situation, Han Cheng thought of a good candidate - Guo Tu.

Because you really can't send your own cronies, in case you die?

And Guo Tu used to be a strategist under Yuan Shao, if he dies, he will die, and he won't feel distressed anyway!

What's more, even if Guo Tu knows about this matter, it's useless, he dares not to go?

......

A day later, Guo Tu was promoted again.

Honglu Zuo Shaoqing, the first subordinate officer of Dahonglu, one of the nine Qings.

Guo Tu is a person who 'knows how to repay his kindness'.

Because Guo Tu knew that he was not Han Cheng's cronies, Han Cheng would not promote his official position for no reason, and there must be something strange in this.

After the court meeting was dispersed, Guo Tu hurriedly came to the General's Mansion to meet Han Cheng.

The concierge seemed to have known that Guo Tu was coming, and he didn't go into the mansion to report, so he directly arranged for someone to lead Guo Tu into the mansion.

About half a cup of tea later, Guo Tu came to the door of the council hall of the General's Mansion.

At this time, there were two people in the hall talking.

One is Han Cheng, the general of the dynasty, and the other is Li Tong, a military general who has just defected to Han Cheng.

I saw Han Cheng sitting on the main seat and said to Li Tong: "Li Tong, this time to Liangzhou, on the surface, Guo Tu is the main person, but you are the real one in charge." If you know that Guo Tu has any abnormal movements, just kill him. ”

Li Tong was the one who had just defected, and Han Cheng didn't trust him very much, so he didn't call his name, but called his full name.

Only those who are close to him, Han Cheng will call him a cousin.

The generals of his cronies, all of them are Han Cheng's treasures, how can Han Cheng easily send his beloved generals to Liangzhou to die?

After Guo Tu heard Han Cheng's words, his face was bloodless.

I'm still here, can I not be so blunt?

Guo Tu saw that the ability to make the wind rudder was not covered, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said to Han Cheng: "Lord, I am loyal to you." ”

Han Cheng looked unimpressed, and said to Guo Tu: "Oh, Gongzhi, you're here!"

Did you hear that?

It's okay to hear it, I said to play.

Since they are all kneeling, let's get up quickly, and keep kneeling, which is not good for the steps at the door. ”

Guo Tuxin said: "I'll make up, I probably fell into the hands of my stepmother." ”

But at the same time, he quickly got up and entered the council chamber.

Han Cheng saw that Guo Tu had already come in.

put away the joke just now, and said to the two of them seriously: "Liangzhou is also the territory of my Han Dynasty, and Your Majesty doesn't want them to get out of control."

Therefore, I ask for your two lives, and let you both serve as the main and deputy envoys to Liangzhou and canonize the many Qiang leaders in Liangzhou. ”

After Guo Tu and Li Tong listened, they immediately said respectfully to Han Cheng: "Thank you, lord." ”

Han Cheng said: "Oh, it's a trivial matter!

Guo Tu, when you canonized the Qiang leaders, you had something else to do—tell these Qiang leaders to raise the price of war horses.

What was ten taels of gold became fifty taels and one hundred taels of gold, earning them a lot of money. ”

Although Guo Tu is a little more insidious, he is also a good strategist. At least IQ is online.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, based on some of Han Cheng's recent actions, Guo Tu probably guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

couldn't help comparing Han Cheng and Yuan Shao.

Han Cheng will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals; Yuan Shao, before doing things, think about face. Whoever is higher and who is lower will be judged.

Han Cheng knew that after he finished speaking, Guo Tu would definitely be able to guess his intentions.

His face changed, and he said sternly: "Guo Tu, Li Tong, you will only set off the day after tomorrow, and you can't talk nonsense if you have some words." The intelligence battalion is not a vegetarian. If there is any rumor, no one will be able to protect you. ”

After hearing this, the two immediately said: "The subordinates know that the subordinates will definitely keep their mouths shut!" ”

The art of the emperor is the most particular about red dates and sticks.

After the beating, it is necessary to give some sweetness.

After Han Cheng saw the two trembling, he continued: "After the two of you come back from completing the task, the official will be promoted to one level. Guo Tu can be one of the nine Qing Da Honglu, and Li Tong can be a captain of the Fenwu Army. ”

The two knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the grace of the lord!" ”

In his eyes, excitement gradually replaced fear.

......

Yecheng, Yuan's Mansion Chamber

Yuan Shao and his important figures gathered together to discuss the major matters of sending troops.

At this time, there were only five strategists under Yuan Shao, Xu You, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Feng Ji, and Xin Bi.

There are many generals, Han Meng, Gao Ping, Gao Huai, Guo Yuan, Peng An, Zang Hong, Jiang Yiqu and so on.

Although he still looks like he is full of talents, Yuan Shao is still sullen.

Some people don't know to cherish after they lose.

There are some things that you don't regret until you do it.

Tian Feng, Ju Yi, who is usually unaccustomed to it, only found out after he really lost it, and it really couldn't be done without them.

Although these people now are also very capable.

Yuan Shao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, on February 18, we will send troops to Youzhou. This time, I'm going out in person! The elite are all out, and the lost ground must be subdued. ”

No one responds, no one opposes. It's embarrassing!

At this moment, a message came from the porter: "Lord, the envoy of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao asks to see?" ”

Yuan Shaoxin said: "The messenger of Apu." What is he here for? Laughing at me? ”

But he said, "Let him in!" Just bring it here, let me see, what is he coming for? ”

After a while, Mao Jie came to the council chamber.

Yuan Shao saw that Mao Jie was just a young man in his twenties, and he felt a trace of contempt, so he wanted to tease him.

So, Yuan Shao asked Mao Jie, "What did Cao Cao ask you to do?" ”

Mao Jie's humble and arrogant replied: "Alliance!" ”

Yuan Shao said with a displeased face: "I have a tense relationship with your father-in-law, how can I form an alliance?" Do you know what happens to those who tease me? ”

Mao Jie still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The lord of Jizhou, the first prince in the world, is this how he treats the envoy of the alliance?" I've seen it a lot! It's worth it to let the world see your face clearly with my life! ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said with relief: "What a young talent, young and with a good tongue!" Cao Cao is blessed! You can get down to business. ”

Mao Jie knew that he had passed Yuan Shao's test.

He said straight to the point: "Han Cheng's son is not very old and ambitious.

He wanted to cut off the source of cavalry for the princes of the world.

My father-in-law was very angry about this, and wanted to join Yuan Zhoumu in sending troops to attack Han Cheng.

After defeating Han Cheng, the state will be ours, and Youzhou will be yours. I don't know what happened to Yuan Zhou's pastoral intentions? ”

After Mao Jie finished speaking, the voice of Yuan Shao's strategist Feng Ji came: "Hmph! Do you think everyone in the world is stupid? There is His Majesty the Emperor in the state, how can it be given to you? ”

Yuan Shao's plan to send troops, everyone did not say a word. The main reason is that everyone thinks so.

But Mao Jie's words obviously infringed on the interests of Jizhou, how could these strategists under Yuan Shao not say a word?

When Mao Jie came, he had already asked Cao Cao what he meant.

So, Mao Jie said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Zhoumu has such loyal subordinates, it is really a blessing!"

It's also to blame that I didn't make it clear just now, so that this adult misunderstood!

What we mean is that the territory of the state is ours, but His Majesty the Emperor is yours. If you don't want it, we can do it! ”

Han Cheng used Emperor Han Xian to the extreme, and the other princes were greedy, how could they not want to?

After hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned slightly.

said to Mao Jie: "I haven't known Apo for a day or two, he will be so generous?" You'd better say all the conditions, don't be ugly. ”

After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Mao Jie looked like he admired Yuan Shao to death, and said, "Lord Yuan Zhou Mu is really discerning. My lord said, His Majesty the Emperor gave it to you, but not for nothing! Please ask Lord Yuan Zhou to give us 500,000 stone grain in exchange! ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought carefully for a moment and said, "At most, 100,000 stones." If you can, sign the alliance; If it doesn't work, forget it. Without him, Cao Agui, I Yuan Benchu can eat the same state and Youzhou. ”

Mao Jie said: "Lord Yuan Zhou Mu is happy! Where do we sign? ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback and blurted out: "You don't ask for instructions?" ”

Mao Jie replied: "No need, I asked for instructions before I came!" ”

Yuan Shao: "......"

......

In fact, before Mao Jie came, Cao Cao said: "As long as he Yuan Shaoken sends troops, all conditions will be promised to him!" When we hold the state and the emperor in our hands, he Yuan Shao is a fart?

The so-called quid pro quo, the alliance treaty, seems to be able to play a certain binding role for these figures with heads and faces.

For me Cao Cao, it's a piece of broken paper! Throw wherever you want.

What I want, I'll only take it myself. Relying on others is! ”

......

Since then, the six princes of the world have been divided into four factions.

Han Cheng and the Liangzhou faction, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, Sun Ce faction.
