Chapter 373: A Delaying Tactic
After everyone sat down in the hall, Kong Rong thanked Han Zhan: "On behalf of the people of Beihai, Kong Mou thanked the prince for his grace in relieving the siege. ”
"Kong Beihai doesn't have to be polite." Han Zhan replied with a smile: "Ben Hou saw the messenger you sent to ask for help, and learned that you were in trouble, how could you not save you when you died?" Therefore, he led his troops to the rescue in the starry night. ”
"Dare to ask the prince," Kong Rong then asked, "What are you going to do with those captured Yellow Turban thieves?" Is it to be killed on the spot or driven into the river to drown? ”
Han Zhan didn't expect that Kong Rong's heart would still be obsessed with dealing with those Yellow Turban Army who had surrendered, so he said with a straight face: "Kong Beihai is bad, those Yellow Turban thieves are just honest farmers, who were burned down by the Yellow Turban thieves and robbed of food that was difficult to survive, so they could only be forced to follow the thieves in order not to starve to death and freeze to death." Since they have been surrendered at this moment, they are the people of the Han Dynasty, how can Ben Hou kill them casually? ”
Seeing that Han Zhan was unwilling to hand over Guan Hai and was not ready to execute those yellow turban thieves, Kong Rong secretly regretted that he should not let Han Zhan and the others enter the city. Just when his mind was thinking about how to send off guests, he suddenly heard Han Zhan asking: "Kong Beihai, I don't know if there has been a famine in Beihai in the past two years?" ”
Han Zhan's words made Kong Rong's old face blush, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from the prince, in recent years, the yellow turban thieves have frequently caused chaos, so that the crops have failed......"
Before asking Kong Rong this question, Han Zhan knew that Beihai, as a county under Qingzhou, must have a shortage of food, otherwise there would be no Yellow Turban Army. If you want to obtain Qingzhou, first, you can take military means, and second, you can make a fuss about food.
Jizhou has abundant grain and grass, and there is no problem in supplying grain to Beihai County, but the premise is that Kong Rong must return to obedience, otherwise he will make wedding clothes for them. Thinking of this, Han Zhan said to Kong Rong: "Don't hide it from Kong Beihai, Benhou plans to use troops against Qingzhou during the autumn harvest, purge the Yellow Turban Thieves and Gongsun Zan forces in the state, and bring them into the jurisdiction of Jizhou." I wonder if Kong Beihai will be willing to help at that time? ”
Hearing Han Zhan's request, Kong Rong knew that the other party would never let him help in vain, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Fu Jun, I don't know what benefits Kong can get?" ”
Han Zhan was not afraid of Kong Rong's request, he was afraid that he would not make a request. Hearing him say this, he smiled faintly and said, "Ben Hou is willing to provide grain and grass for Beihai County to help the people survive the green and yellow season. I wonder if Kong Beihai is satisfied? ”
Kong Rong was worried about the lack of grain and grass in Beihai a few months ago. He once went to the Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Chou appointed by Gongsun Zhan to rob the grain, but he was ruthlessly refused. He was worried about the matter of grain and grass, and when he heard that Han Zhan was willing to provide grain for Beihai, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Kong Rong took a sip of the tea bowl in front of him, and asked cautiously: "I don't know how the prince of the palace is going to let Kong assist the soldiers and horses of Jizhou?" ”
"It's very simple," Han Zhan said with a normal expression: "When the soldiers and horses of Jizhou attack Qingzhou, how about asking Kong Beihai to lend us a road?" ”
"Borrow?" When Kong Rong heard Han Zhan's request, two idioms immediately popped up in his mind, "lips are dead and teeth are cold" and "false dao is destroyed", thinking that Han Zhan would not attack Qingzhou in name, but in fact, he was trying to seize his own Beihai County, right? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing that Kong Rong didn't respond to him for a long time, Han Zhan guessed what the other party was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Kong Beihai, isn't it because you're worried that Ben Hou will use a false path to destroy him?" ”
Kong Rong was guessed by Han Zhan, and he did not hide his true thoughts. He nodded and said frankly: "That's right, Kong is worried about this. ”
"Kong Beihai," Han Zhan didn't want to play Tai Chi with Kong Rong in this matter, so he told him bluntly: "Since Benhou wants to unify the four northern states, it will be a matter of time before Beihai County is brought under his command. If Kong Beihai thinks about the people and wants them to be spared from swordsmen, it is better to return to Benhou as soon as possible. In this way, the people of Beihai can live and work in peace and contentment, and Kong Beihai can also enter the court as an official, and share worries and solve problems for the court and the current emperor. Why not? ”
A few months ago, Han Zhan had sent someone to send a letter to Kong Rong to persuade him to surrender. Although Kong Rong didn't do anything to tear up the book and kill the messenger, he still ordered someone to drive the messenger out of Beihai. He thought that Han Zhan had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Han Zhan to persuade him to surrender in front of him.
Although Kong Rong wanted to chase away the guests, considering that the other party's troops were strong and had just defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, once he started, he would rely on the little county soldiers under his command to stuff the teeth of others. Since he couldn't use force, he could only use delaying tactics, so he stood up, bowed to Han Zhanshen, and said, "Han Fujun, this matter is very important, and it is not Kong who can call the shots. It is necessary to gather the officials of Beihai County and discuss it carefully before finally giving a satisfactory answer to the governor. ”
After everyone sat down in the hall, Kong Rong thanked Han Zhan: "On behalf of the people of Beihai, Kong Mou thanked the prince for his grace in relieving the siege. ”
"Kong Beihai doesn't have to be polite." Han Zhan replied with a smile: "Ben Hou saw the messenger you sent to ask for help, and learned that you were in trouble, how could you not save you when you died?" Therefore, he led his troops to the rescue in the starry night. ”
