Chapter 715: Peace Talks

Yuan Shao's side, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and the judge are all there.

They also heard what Guo Jia had just said.

"Guo Jia, you step down first, this matter is very important, I need to think about it in the long run, I will discuss it with you, and then give you an answer."

Yuan Shao saw that Fu Zhi and the others gave him a look, so he immediately said a word to Guo Jia.

Although Guo Jia is young, he is very smart, and he knows that Yuan Shao wants to discuss the pros and cons with these people, and he will not entangle.

"That's down, let's retire first."

After that, Guo Jia took the initiative to withdraw from here.

When Guo Jia left, Yuan Shao glanced at the strategists in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Have you all heard what the man said, and have expressed your opinions, and what you think? ”

All present were Yuan Shao's staff team, although they were divided into several camps, but under Yuan Shao's inquiry, they still didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately began to talk about their thoughts to Yuan Shao.

"Lord, this Guo Jia is very smart."

Guo Tu was the first to speak. Because Guo Tu and Guo Jia knew each other, when Guo Tu was still in Yingchuan, Guo Tu had heard Guo Jia's name.

"It's really smart, although Guo Jia doesn't look very old, but after seeing us, he is not timid."

"I'm not asking you, how is this Guo Jia, what I'm asking is, what do you think of what Guo Jia said?"

Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng and the others, wanting to see what Tian Feng and the others thought.

"I think he came on Liu Zheng's orders, and Liu Zheng should have intended to negotiate peace with us, and the price offered was not low, 200,000 stone of grain and grass a year, which is quite a lot."

"We are indeed short of grain and grass now, if it is really as Liu Zheng said, you can give us so much grain and grass, it is a good choice."

Tian Feng expressed his opinion to Yuan Shao, and Tian Feng still maintained this agreeing opinion on Liu Zheng's peace talks.

"I originally thought that Liu Zheng was very powerful, after all, he was able to occupy the territory of five states and counties in such a short period of time, and he was a strong opponent, but this time after we fought with Liu Zheng, we found that Liu Zheng's strength was nothing more than that."

"Liu Zheng is not to be afraid, the lord really makes us afraid of Lu Zhi, although Lu Zhi and us deal with Liu Zheng, but after he regained control of Xuzhou, his strength has risen sharply, and after Liu Zheng is cleaned up, Lu Zhi will definitely turn the spearhead and turn to deal with us, so we have to guard against us."

"Now, we can use Donglai County and Beihai County as an excuse to test Lu Zhi, if Lu Zhi ignores this, then our alliance can continue, if Lu Zhi makes a big move on this, then we can simply take this opportunity to take action against Lu Zhi."

Based on this offensive battle in Qingzhou, the trial evaluated Liu Zheng, and then through Liu Zheng, the trial told Yuan Shao that Liu Zheng was actually not their enemy, and the real enemy was Lu Zhi.

What can really make Yuan Shao jealous is the imperial court.

After all, Liu Zheng has not yet been crowned emperor, and to a certain extent, Liu Zheng's threat is never great.

Moreover, after Xuzhou was occupied by Lu Zhi, Liu Zheng cut off the direct territorial border with Yuan Shao, so Liu Zheng's threat to Yuan Shao was greatly reduced again.

"I also agree with the words of the trial, Liu Zheng's strength is no longer worth mentioning for us, no matter how powerful he is, at this stage, he will not threaten us, but the imperial court is our real threat."

These strategists all agree with Guo Jia's views.

After Yuan Shao listened, he also counted it in his heart, but among these strategists present, there was another person who had not spoken, and Yuan Shao looked at this person again.

"Gonghe, what do you think about this? Are we going to agree to Liu Zheng's peace talks? ”

Yuan Shao asked about the frustration that had not spoken all this time.

Although he has a relatively high status in Yuan Shao's military camp, he knows that Mingzhe protects himself, and sometimes, he will not take the initiative to put forward his opinion, and only when Yuan Shao asks, he will say it.

At this time, Yuan Shao asked, and then he spoke slowly.

"My lord, now that Liu Zheng has been beaten back to Yangzhou by our coalition with Lu Zhi, there is a Yangtze River and no peace talks, we can't do anything about him in a short time, it's better to accept peace talks. In this way, we can get some grain and grass from Liu Zheng. That's a good thing, but ......"

He first accepted Liu Zheng's request for peace talks, but immediately changed his conversation.

"But what?"

Yuan Shao asked, very curious about what Fu Zhi said.

"However, Liu Zheng has always been a threat, and I heard news from our spies from the south that Liu Zheng fought with Gongsun Chan in Huainan and annihilated Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Righteousness, and not long ago, Gongsun Chan had died at the hands of Liu Zheng."

"It can be seen that Liu Zheng's strength is very strong, especially the cavalry under his command, although we haven't seen it, but that Gongsun Chan is powerful, we know it, even Gongsun Chan died in the hands of Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng will not be powerful?"

"Therefore, we can't continue to give Liu Zheng a war horse, that will only continue to make Liu Zheng strong."

He spoke his opinion, and several others immediately agreed.

"Yes, I can't continue to give Liu Zheng a war horse, Liu Zheng has a war horse, it will only be a tiger for trouble!"

"The number of horses must be controlled in our hands! Our Karasuma cavalry is the one that should be strengthened. ”

After some discussion, Yuan Shao finally knew what these staff members under him thought.

"Well, I know your opinion, Guo Tu, you go and call that Guo Jia in, and say that we are done with the discussion."

After listening to Yuan Shao's opinion, he already made a decision in his heart.

Guo Tu immediately went out at the signal of Yuan Shao, and called back Guo Jia, who had been away for a while.

Guo Jia knew that when he came back again, he could already know what Yuan Shao's gang had discussed.

"My lord, how are you going?"

After entering the door, Guo Jia took the initiative to ask Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's face was flat, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, and after Guo Jia asked, he first pretended to be silent for a while.

After waiting for a while, he responded to Guo Jia.

"We have discussed it, and we can agree to your request for peace talks, but we also have conditions."

"On what terms?"

"War horses can be sold to you, but the price is not the same as before."

As soon as Yuan Shao said this, Guo Jia realized that something was wrong.
