Chapter 714: The Military Advisor's Sacrificial Wine
This messenger is naturally Guo Jia.
The reason why Guo Jia was able to appear in this Qingzhou land was that he was ordered by Liu Zheng, and on the other hand, it was also the intelligence of Liu Zhengjin Yiwei, which let Guo Jia know that Guo Tu went to Xuzhou to see Lu Zhi.
So Guo Jia guessed that Yuan Shao should have sent someone to Lu Zhi to ask for food.
Guo Jia, who was just guessing, took the opportunity to meet Guo Tu halfway through. After the conversation with Guo Tu, I knocked on the side and knew the purpose of Guo Tu's trip to Xuzhou.
is even more sure of the conjecture in his heart.
Why was Guo Jia able to approach Guo Tu so easily?
Because Guo Tu is also from Yingchuan, and Guo Jia is of the same family, in terms of seniority, Guo Jia has to call Guo Tu an uncle.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Guo Jia was able to easily approach Guo Tu, and from Guo Tu's hands, he took out the news from Yuan Shao's side.
This allowed Guo Jia to take this opportunity and come to envoy Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao originally had no idea of seeing Liu Zheng's envoy, but recently, he happened to have a bad relationship with Lu Zhi, and he was holding Lu Zhi's anger in his heart.
I also want to see what this Liu Zheng's messenger wants to do here.
Guo Jia sent an envoy to Yuan Shao, but he didn't bring many people, only a few entourages, and they were all arranged for him by Liu Zheng.
After entering Yuan Shao's temporary mansion in Qingzhou, Guo Jia took the initiative to say hello to Yuan Shao.
"In Xia Guojia, I have seen the general."
Although Yuan Shao, the general, was only self-appointed, and had no half-dime relationship with the Han court, he only asked the Northern Han Emperor Liu Yu to seal it, but Liu Zheng now has a request for Yuan Shao, no matter what, he must respect Yuan Shao and call him a general, so that Yuan Shao can appear vigorous.
"Guo Jia? Are you Liu Zheng's person? ”
"In the next place, I am fighting for Liu, and the military division is sacrificing wine."
"The military priest sacrificial wine? What kind of official is this? ”
Yuan Shao still has a good understanding of the official position of the Han Dynasty, and after hearing Guo Jia's self-reported family say the name of a military priest's sacrificial wine, he frowned.
In fact, at this time in the Han Dynasty, there was really no such official position as a military priest sacrificing wine.
There are military divisions, and they are generally the staff and subordinate officers of the generals.
There is also sacrificial wine, which is generally the head of the sacrificial ceremony.
But the military priest sacrifices wine, and when combined, it is a little nondescript.
Dahan does not have such an official position at the moment.
The military priest sacrificial wine was established by Cao Cao a few years later.
The reason why Liu Zheng wanted to give Guo Jia such an official position is also because Guo Jia in history was the first person to sacrifice wine to the military division. At the same time, Guo Jia is not very old, and it is impossible for Liu Zheng to give Guo Jia a very important position as soon as he comes.
He has no merit and can't convince the public, so he can only give Guo Jia a new position that does not appear high-profile and respectful.
This is still an official position specially set up by Liu Zheng for Guo Jia, and others don't even have this qualification.
"The military advisor sacrificial wine is an official position set up privately by the lord, not enough to mention."
"Liu Zheng really has a lot of ghost ideas, what kind of official position is set up blindly, does he have this ability?"
Yuan Shao was slightly unhappy, after all, Liu Zheng had no name, although Liu Zheng had always wanted to be the emperor, but he had not taken actual action, he was not called the emperor, he had no reputation, so Yuan Shao was a little unhappy with Liu Zheng.
"My lord, my family sent me this time, in fact, the main reason is to rebuild relations with adults, you and I have no grievances, why fight?"
The purpose of Guo Jialai's envoy was to repair the relationship with Yuan Shao, so he put his posture very low.
Only in this way will Yuan Shao despise Liu Zheng and think that Liu Zheng is giving in.
"Rebuild Yu Hao, does Liu Zheng really have this kind of thought, I just laid down his Qingzhou, with Liu Zheng's character, will I agree to rebuild with me?"
"Of course, not only that, but my family is also willing to give Beihai County and Donglai County to everyone."
"Dongnae County and Beihai County?"
"Hahaha, are you joking, aren't these two counties in Lu Zhi's hands, what qualifications do you Liu Zheng have to say to give it to me."
As soon as Guo Jia's words were spoken, he was immediately ridiculed by Yuan Shao.
"This Qingzhou was originally my family's lord, and now my family's lord, although he does not occupy Qingzhou, but if my family is willing to express his intention to give Beihai County and Donglai County to Yuan Shao's lord, then the general will have an excuse to attack these two places, and when the time comes, aren't these two places your lord?"
Guo Jia already knew through Guo Tu that Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi did not negotiate, and Lu Zhi not only rejected Yuan Shao's request for Beihai and Donglai, but also refused Yuan Shao's request to ask Lu Zhi for some food.
At this time, Yuan Shao was angry, and after Guo Jia's appearance, he poured a spoonful of oil on Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao already had a complaint against Lu Zhi, but he couldn't find Li You to fight Lu Zhi for a while.
Now Guo Jia said this, which is equivalent to giving Yuan Shao an excuse to attack Beihai and Donglai, although this interface is far-fetched, but Yuan Shao doesn't care, after all, what he needs is just a reason.
"My lord, in order to show the sincerity of my lord's request for peace, my lord also told me that if my lord is willing to keep peace, then my lord can provide 200,000 stone of grain for my lord every year!"
Yuan Shao was already short of food, and the reason why he wanted to ask for Beihai and Donglai was also to get some grain and grass from these two counties, and now Guo Jia opened his mouth like this, which immediately made Yuan Shao have some indifferent expressions and become solemn.
Yuan Shao's face changed, and he stared at Guo Jia for a while before he spoke.
"What you said is true?"
"Naturally, it's true, my family is willing to reconcile with the general forever and provide food and grass for adults, there is only one requirement."
"What requirements?"
"My lord wants you to sell us some horses."
Before leaving, Liu Zheng deliberately explained to Guo Jia, Liu Zheng used grain from Youzhou to exchange for a lot of war horses, these war horses let Liu Zheng alleviate the dilemma of the shortage of war horses, and Yuan Shao's war, so that Liu Zheng bought horses from Youzhou This road was broken again.
In addition, recently, Liu Zheng's war horses have lost a lot, and without new war horses to replenish, the cavalry will always have some combat power decline.
Liu Zheng had to re-connect this line, and in this way he could only go to Yuan Shao, which is why Liu Zheng could consider temporarily repairing relations with Yuan Shao.
After Yuan Shao heard Guo Jia's words, he fell into deep thought, and for a while, he did not answer Guo Jia directly, but turned his head to look at these strategists around him.
