After arriving in Pingyang, I hurriedly met Zaoyi for a photo.

General Zhengxi was busy with affairs.

Although Yang Xiu could somewhat know that this was just an excuse for General Zhengxi, and a ploy to frustrate his own spirit, he could only pinch his nose helplessly and admit it, but now......

At the earliest, there were only two courtyards in the east and west of the Pingyang Post House, which were originally quite spacious and sufficient, but after Yang Xiu occupied one and Xu Yu occupied one, General Pingdong's envoy could only live in a courtyard outside, and as a result, there was a new one yesterday, Wenhou Lu Bu's ......

Yesterday night, Yang Xiu couldn't sleep well, for fear that someone would turn over the wall in the middle of the night. Frightened, he grabbed his collar and was confused for a night, and finally got to the dawn, the huge black circle couldn't even cover the powder, so he could only force his composure, and still put on a breezy appearance to greet Xu You, and then stared at the courtyard gate with his eyes long, looking forward to the early summons of the general Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, so as to end this journey.

Xu You, who was on the other side of the courtyard, looked at Yang Xiu's appearance of stretching his neck to look around every half an hour or so, and couldn't help lowering his eyes and snickering a few times. Xu You also heard about what happened outside the post house yesterday, and he also thought it was very interesting, but it was interesting, and Xu You didn't have any idea of coming forward for Yang Xiu. The Yang family is now yesterday's yellow flower, and there is no benefit to be fished, but the general of Zhengxi Fei is here, which is called real fat......

Xu Youba smacked his lips. Originally, I thought that Xifei would be rich, but I didn't expect it to be fat! If you can't take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life. Therefore, Xu You was not in a hurry, thinking about how to take advantage of the current situation to knock more fat from Xifeiqian to come out.

"Someone...... Xu Yu said slowly, "Let's just say that I am not feeling well today and I don't see any outsiders...... Well, you can leave all the famous thorn lists, wait for someone to see it, and make a decision tomorrow......"

Xu You looked at the gloomy sky, and after using the morning chest, he flicked his sleeves and went back to the house to sleep.

Xu You became less and less anxious, and Yang Xiu became more and more unable to sit still. This kind of anxious mood also spread unconsciously in Yang Xiu's small courtyard, affecting the other Yang Clan's entourage.

Yang Xiu couldn't sleep, and these entourages naturally couldn't sleep, so they waited hard under the front porch of the courtyard hall with Yang Xiu.

Seeing this, the post station guards helped bring a lot of braziers, so that these Yang soldiers could be roasted on fire for a long time.

Yang Xiu's personal guards are basically the important responsibilities of the Yang family for many years, and if Yang Xiu is serious, he can't say what the relationship between the seven aunts and eight aunts is, and when he saw Yang Xiu's appearance, he couldn't help but get together and talk about it. No one knows what will happen in the future, and there are all kinds of speculations, which are circulating around this small courtyard.

Looking at the sun inch by inch to the west, looking at the street still has no movement, there is no news, even the charcoal of the brazier for heating has been burned, the post house guard hurriedly sent someone to the warehouse to collect, and it was not delivered for a while, so he had to extinguish the brazier first, and wait for the charcoal to arrive.

These Yang personnel, who had been talking all day, had been nervous or anxious for a long time, and the energy of the early breasts had long been exhausted, and the charcoal in the brazier was broken again, and they couldn't help but jump with their feet in the cold.

"Alas! This damn pawn, how could he not have gone to charcoal earlier, if there was no brazier in the middle of the night, he couldn't even drink hot soup, and he didn't even have his teeth frozen! ”

"Don't say it's the post man's fault, look at so many braziers, it's inevitable to use them harder, haven't you already gone to get it, what can you do in a hurry......"

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it stands to reason that Pingyang has been in this situation for three or five days, and now it's this situation again, what to eat, drink and enjoy, I don't expect to have it, but at least I can't hang it here all the time, right? This expedition to the west is too picky, the daily ration of some grain and grass is not enough to stuff the teeth, can only let people buy, this food and drink expenses are also a lot every day, how can Hongnong go after a long time? Do you want to go back all the way? Yes?! ”

"Ahh You kid stop a little, don't go back to provoke, when the time comes, you have to provoke some baskets, you are willing?! ”

"Shut up! Shut the fuck! Don't be noisy and panic! No matter how noisy it is, it's going to be outside the hospital! A non-commissioned officer who looked like a team leader spoke.

"Disperse, disperse!"

In the courtyard, the noise in the corridor under the hall also reached Yang Xiu's ears, and he couldn't sit still in the lobby, turning around with his hands behind his back, and countless thoughts rolled in his mind.

Why hasn't there been any movement yet?

It's hard to conquer the west, just counting on my family and Lu Bu's fish to break the net?

It's impossible, if that's the case, Zhengxi should hide the matter of Lu Bu's envoy, so that I can wait to take it lightly, and I definitely won't put Lu Bu's envoy in front of me so blatantly......

So is this blackmailing the Yang family?

Or do you want to take advantage of the fishing nets?

In this case, why don't you learn a class and stay away?

Yang Xiu glanced at the wall, and then looked at his slender and delicate hand, the calluses could not be said to be absent, but it was a little bit on the side of the middle finger, which was held by holding a brush.

Yang Xiu was reluctant to show weakness to Lu Bu's envoys, and he didn't have much of a single-minded mind, although he could be resourceful when planning against others, and he was also full of energy when he spoke the scriptures, but when he was faced with a life-and-death decision, Yang Xiu might not have the extraordinary courage to take action......

"Fengxiao, your name hasn't been changed yet? Cao Gong doesn't know? On top of the Pingyang Festival Hall, Fei Qian pointed to the brazier lit in the hall and asked the guards to move some to Guo Jia.

Outbred and close attack.

The pre-Qin Dynasty had proved that such a diplomatic strategy was extremely excellent, and Fei Qian naturally summoned the farthest envoy of the Pingdong general, Guo Jia, according to the geographical division.

Although Guo Jia is difficult to deal with, compared with the other three, the conflict of interests is bound to be the smallest, and it is also the easiest to reach some common agreements.

“…… General, this wine is wonderful......" Guo Jia poured down another bowl of wine, "A certain name, Cao Gong naturally knows...... It's just that it can't be changed, it can't be changed...... If something changes, don't talk about anything else, just this one...... Hehe, the head of the Guo family is still in Jizhou......"

The wine banquet is not luxurious, but it is also sumptuous, there are no delicacies, it is nothing more than the common big fish and meat in the north, but the wine is really good, the corn is brewed, and it is warmed on the small red clay stove, which is extremely sweet, so that Guo Jia likes it very much, and drinks bowl after bowl.

Guo Jia put down the wine bowl, his face was slightly drunk, and said, "The general puts Yang Lu in one place, so he is not afraid that the two of them will fight?" ”

Fei Qian laughed and said, "If you don't put it together, won't the two of them fight?" ”

"Haha, that's really the ......case," Guo Jia raised his head and smiled, and then said, "But even if Wen Hou becomes the master of Luoyang, sooner or later he will be defeated......

"Yes, defeated, but who is willing to lose?" Fei Qian cut a piece of roasted lamb leg meat with a knife, and said, "Tart against Yin Wu, fight against Jing Chu." Delve into its obstacles, and take a journey through the thorns. There is a place to intercept it, and Tang Sun's thread. Who is Yin Wu and who is Jing Chu? ”

Guo Jia straightened his back suddenly, staring at Fei Qian, and a lot of sweat beads instantly appeared on his head.

"Hmm...... What's wrong? Fei Qian threw the mutton into his mouth and muttered.

Guo Jia pretended to wipe his sweat inadvertently, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I drank good wine, and I feel comfortable......" Although he said this, Guo Jia felt a little uneasy in his heart, and Zhengxi was stumped to guess something?

By drinking, Guo Jia carefully observed Fei Qian's expression again, pondering, is it just a coincidence that he mentioned "Jing Chu" in a difficult way?

It's definitely a coincidence.

General Zhengxi will never have any ghost and god ability, if there is really one, Guo Jia simply went back and persuaded Cao Cao not to play, what cards are seen clearly by others, how to play such a game?

After settling down, before Guo Jia put down the wine bowl, he heard Fei Xian throw out another sentence without raising his head: "How about it, when will Cao Gong send troops?" ”

"Poof! Cough! cough cough ......" Guo Jia squirted out the wine in his mouth, didn't care about choking, and turned his head to look at Fei Qian, "General...... How did the general find out? ”

Fei Qian cut another piece of mutton, then put the knife down, and said, "Because Fengxiao is here...... Isn't that obvious? ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia was dumbfounded, shook his head for a while, and said, "Actually, the general didn't know it at first, right?" ”

"You can say that......" Fei Qian did not deny it.

"Huh......" Guo Jia exhaled and said, "So, what does the general think?" "Fortunately, fortunately, this is within the acceptable range of Guo Jia, but in his mind, the evaluation and danger level of Fei Qian can't help but increase by several orders of magnitude.

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Words don't matter, what matters is practical benefits, right?" ”

"Uh, yes." Guo Jia simply asked directly, "So what does the general need?" ”

Fei Qian groaned and motioned for Guo Jia to eat and drink first.

Guo Jia nodded, but did not urge, and when he saw Fei Qian's hesitation, his heart was slightly relieved. Fang Cai was basically led by the nose of the general Fei Qian, which made Guo Jia very uncomfortable, and now he simply spread it out on the bright side, and Fang moved back some.

In fact, Fei Qian is not as powerful as Guo Jia imagined, but some of Fei Qian's own judgments plus specious words and phrases......

Guo Jia came running from Yanzhou, definitely not to give condolences to Cai Yong as he said on the surface, or to say a favor to Hedong Wei or something, these are not very big things, just a cover to cover up his true purpose. Judging from Cao Cao's current situation, combined with Cao Cao's measures in history, Fei Qian can basically guess that Cao Cao is ready to fight a wave.

The reason is simple.

Cao Cao must fight, if he doesn't fight, there is no way out, and sooner or later he will be trapped and killed in Yanzhou. It is obviously unrealistic to fight to the north, and it is unlikely to fight to the west.

Cao Cao is to the west of Lu Bu, it is Heluo, and Lu Bu has just announced in a high-profile manner that he wants to support Sheji and let the Son of Heaven pro-government Yunyun, and then Cao Cao will follow to attack Lu Bu, isn't this the same as the world declaring that he opposes the pro-government of the Son of Heaven and opposes Liu Xie's dynasty?

So even if Cao Cao and Lu Bu have any contradictions that have not been resolved, they can only put it aside for the time being and wait for this wave to pass.

Fei Qian absolutely did not believe that Cao Cao had the courage and strength to argue with Yuan Shao at this stage, so Cao Cao was left with only two directions, either to the east to fight Xuzhou, or to the south to fight Yuzhou. Xuzhou, everyone knows that there is a soft persimmon, Yuzhou is mainly the main force of Yuan Shu has gone to the southern front, and it is at the moment of emptiness, and whether it is to fight Xuzhou or Yuzhou, Cao Cao is worried that the old nest will be raided, so Fei Qian, who has some relations with Lu Bu and Jingzhou, has become the best battlefield mediator. As long as an agreement is reached, Cao Cao can at least rest assured that he will not have just sent troops from Yanzhou on the front foot, and his hometown will be raided on the back foot. The pain of the Yanzhou rebellion, Cao Cao definitely didn't want to experience it a second time.

"One, Wancheng ......" Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table.

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said: "If Cao Gong goes down to Wancheng, he can deliver the ......" Wancheng is now in the hands of Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao also wants to get it back, so Guo Jia's subtext is also obvious, anyway, there are people from Jingxiang in the Wancheng area, and if you want a better Wancheng or a dilapidated Wancheng, it depends on how Fei Qian and Jingxiang's people communicate. As for who to hand it over, Guo Jia and Cao Cao don't care, you Zhengxi and Liu Biao will discuss it yourself.

Guo Jia is really worried that Fei Qian only verbally agrees and does not seek some practical benefits, because people can only really do this thing seriously when they want to do something practical.

Fei Qian nodded slightly and said, "Second, the caravan." "Cao Cao naturally needs weapons, grain and grass to fight, and Fei Qian also needs gold, silver and bronze to promote Tongbao, which should have been mutually beneficial, but as soon as the problem war starts, many red-eyed soldiers will be difficult to control, if there is no strict restriction, the danger of the caravan will be very great.

"Caravans?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

Fei Qian nodded in confirmation.

Guo Jia patted his chest and said, "No problem! But all the caravans that conquer the west, as long as they are safe and law-abiding, under the rule of Cao Gong, they can pass unimpeded! ”

Fei Qian ignored the back door buried in Guo Jia's words, because Fei Qian also knew that no matter what it was, there was a honeymoon period, and once the honeymoon period passed, it would be the same as the three-pack policy, and he would no longer enjoy various benefits, so Fei Qian raised a third finger and said: "The last one, Tongbao." Within the territory of Cao Gong, Tongbao shall not be refused for any reason. ”

Fei Qian asked people to take some Tongbao to Guo Jia.

Guo Jiazai carefully inspected it, frowned and checked the texture of the Tongbao again, and said: "If the quality of these Tongbao of the general is consistent, Cao Gong has no reason to refuse. "Guo Jia doesn't know much about economics, but with such a material of Tongbao, presumably Zhengxi doesn't make much money? But since Zhengxi has proposed it, it doesn't hurt to agree.

"Good!" Fei Qian raised the wine bowl and gestured to Guo Jia. These things will naturally be taken over by Xun Chenhui in the future, and then the relevant provisions will be formulated, and then the blood will take a form for the alliance to bring back to Guo Jia. Of course, treaties have always been valid when they are recognized, but they are invalid when they turn around, and no one knows how long they can last.

Guo Jia was naturally overjoyed, and after completing most of the goals, he naturally relaxed a lot, picked up the wine bowl and gestured to Fei Qian, just drank half of it, but heard Fei Qian say again: "Then when will Cao Gong break up with Yuan Gong?" ”

"Poof......" Guo Jia squirted out again in a sip of wine......
