In the territory of Yulin.

Molten steel, the first line of the Rongjiang River, the roar shook the ground in an instant, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After a day of night fighting, the raid of Rongjiang City and Guanping, under the large-scale attack of the main force of Chen Shi's department, the Jiaozhou army was again in a group of dragons without a leader, and finally declared lost.

A day later.

Yuan Huicai, as the envoy of Jiaozhou, arrived at Rongjiang City in a hurry.

When he walked into the city under the escort of more than a dozen middle-aged guards with burly bodies and swords hanging from their waists, he looked at the big banner of "Han" characters that was planted at the head of the city and fluttered in the wind, and his heart was quite unpleasant!

"Is this Guan Ping's intention?"

At this time, he muttered silently in his heart.

"It should be so, he is afraid that he already had a plan to seize the Rongjiang River long before the decision of the king to gather his troops to threaten the border of Jingzhou, and his purpose is estimated to establish prestige and erect the strong front of the Han army, so that the Jiaozhou army will be completely frightened and lose the courage to fight with the Han army."

"Guan Ping really deserves to be a genius!"

"The prosperity of the Han family must have an inseparable relationship with him."

For a while, Yuan Hui was marching towards the city, and his mind was also surging, secretly thinking and groaning.

At this moment, his opinion of Guan Ping was subversive, and he even thought that this person was an unborn genius, and even thought that the rise and restoration of the Han family was all due to him.

Wizard, this evaluation is not ordinary!

It is important to know that the wizards who have appeared in every period of the past dynasties are also rare!

As far as the pre-Qin era is concerned, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been in China for hundreds of years, and wars have occurred frequently, but the most dazzling and brilliant generals who emerged during this period are only the four major generals of the Warring States Period.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the most brilliant generals were the soldier immortal Han Xin and the overlord Xiang Ji, and then the Han two-armed Wei Huo emerged during the Wudi period.

Even, the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty lasted for more than 100 years, but if you really want to be a genius, except for Zhuge Liang and a few other people, how can you bear this "two words"?

Therefore, Yuan Hui's evaluation of Guan Ping is already extremely shocking!

You must know that Guan Ping's earth-shattering feat was almost all achieved in just a few months, and it was a rising star that rose again after his father Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked China.

But Guan Ping's life in front of him for nearly 20 years has not made any shocking achievements, and he is just an ordinary general under the Jingzhou military account!

It was precisely by witnessing that he could have such brilliance in a few months that Yuan Hui could not be shocked.

Military government.

At this moment, Chen Shi, who was dressed in military uniform, and Guan Ping, who was wearing a long robe, were gathering together and staring at the map hanging on the screen to discuss.

"General Chen, now that our army has captured the important town of Rongjiang, the first line of molten steel is under control, and Guangyu City at the southern end has also been burned in a ruin under the fire of this general."

"This is equivalent to the complete loss of the two most important towns of the Jiaozhou Army in Yulin County, and the rest of the cities in the territory will be unimpeded, as long as our army is willing, it will be at our disposal at any time."

Speaking of this, Guan Ping smiled, slowly looked at Chen Shi from the side, and said: "I don't know what General Chen thinks Shi Xie will choose next, will he continue to choose to unite with Sun Wu and our army, or will he abandon Sun Wu and make friends with our army?" ”

"What does the general think?"

A seat fell.

Hearing this, Chen Shi on the side couldn't help but shake his head carefully and pondered, thinking for a while, his face regained a trace of calmness, and said: "Young General, in fact, ........."

It's just that just when he was about to say something, the guards in the palace suddenly rushed into the hall with knives, and Shan Qi knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Major General Qiqi, General Chen, and the envoy from Jiaozhou have arrived outside the mansion and asked to meet the major general." ”

"Oh?"

"Shixie sent a messenger?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and muttered: "It seems that Shixie is still afraid of our army's soldiers, so he wants to make friends with us." ”

When the words fell, Chen Shiye's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "And the famous name of the young general also makes Shi Xie afraid, haha!" ”

"Hahaha."

After a while, the two of them stopped talking, but they looked at each other and smiled!

After a long groan, Guan Ping restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "Since Shixie has already sent an envoy here, then we naturally can't be rude, you go down and bring the envoy of the state inside." ”

"No."

As soon as the order was given, the sword-wielding guards did not dare to slack off, so they gave up their orders and left!

Waiting for the guards to leave, he turned around and said to Chen Shi who was beside him: "General Chen, you go to the screen first and go to listen, I want to see, what is the intention of Shi Xie to send people this time?" ”

"Hmm."

When the words fell, he answered, and Chen Shi did not slack off, so he immediately stepped behind the screen and hidden.

Half ringing.

The guards sent the sixty-year-old Yuan Hui into front of the mansion, stopped in front of him, and stretched out his hand to guide him to enter alone.

"Under the command of the old general Zuo, Yuan Hui is engaged in meeting the young general!"

"Smack!"

It's just that at the moment when these words fell, Guan Ping was furious, and slapped the case hard, but he staggered the objects on it, as if it was about to fall.

Suddenly, Yuan Hui's face was worried, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

Guan Ping, how is this?

Do you want to give yourself a dismount?

This is the only thought in Yuan Hui's heart at present.

"Yuan Hui, you dare to call yourself Shixie as General Zuo in front of this general, do you not take my father and the king of Hanzhong in your eyes?"

As Guan Ping showed anger and drank loudly, Yuan Hui couldn't help but look solemn and muttered: "Young General, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Although my lord has not paid tribute to the king of Hanzhong every year, he has always maintained a neutral relationship and has not met with your army, at least except for the coercion of the Wu army this time, there has been no initiative to Chen soldiers on the border of Jingzhou."

"Why is the young general so angry?"

For a while, Yuan Hui's face was indifferent, and he stated unhurriedly.

"Huh!"

It's just that Guan Ping sneered when he heard this, so he said coldly: "Since October last year, Sun Quan Xiao'er has dispatched the main force of Jiangdong to attack our county when our army is attacking Cao Thieves in the north, and it is even more in order to take Jingzhou to disregard the alliance with my Han Dynasty and unite with Cao Thieves without authorization. ”

"After this incident, Sun Wu has long been a mortal enemy with our army, and now the position of General Shixiezuo is just given by Sun Quan, what does it have to do with my Han Dynasty, and what is the difference between him and the king of Hanzhong?"

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping's eyes were even sharper, staring at Yuan Hui tightly, as if his eyes seemed to reveal a trace of cold and breathtaking.

"So, Shi Xie sent you to meet the general, and he actually reported the official position awarded by Sun Quan, doesn't this not take my big man in his eyes?"

"His Sun Quan is just a rebellious minister and thief who has seized Jiangdong, what right does he have to confer on the local administrative officials without authorization?"

Speaking of this, Guan Ping became even more and more excited, shouting: "Not only that, he is just a general, what right does he have to send troops into Jiaozhou without authorization and interfere in the internal affairs of Jiaozhou?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Hui looked at Guan Ping's cold gaze at this moment, as if he felt a chill down his spine.

Guan Ping is too difficult to get along!

In fact, as early as on the way here, he was thinking hard, if he really met Guan Ping, what kind of way would he face it?

Even, he anticipated the difficulties of the Han army.

After all, his side has lost the battle, and the initiative is now in Guan Ping's hands, and he has the right to lead the negotiations.

But he never expected what Guan Ping did at this time, Guan Ping actually changed color directly from the beginning, giving him a dismount!

After a long groan, Yuan Hui didn't dare to respond with a tough attitude, so he had to cautiously arch his hand and replied: "Young General, you are a fallacy!" ”

"Everything is justified, right?"

"As early as the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), my lord led the people to attach to the Wu army when it entered Jiaozhou, and then Wu Hou expressed his position as the general of Zuo, which was also appointed by the Son of Heaven of Xu Du, and was completed through formal procedures, not canonized by Wu Hou with his own strength."

Speaking of this, Yuan Hui couldn't help but look directly at Guan Ping, not afraid at all, and said loudly: "Young General, whether it is Guan Junhou or the king of Hanzhong, it must be Hanchen, right?" ”

"The king of Hanzhong also said that the king of Xu Du was the son of heaven, so it seems that my lord should not accept the list of Wu Hou?"

"Could it be that the young general disagrees with this matter, because he wants the king of Hanzhong to abolish the Han dynasty and stand on his own feet and slap himself in the face?"

In the last remarks, he said extremely sharply and straightforwardly, without saving Guan Ping any face.

Hmph, boy, aren't you going to give me a?

The old man also gave you a problem, see how you deal with it?

Negotiation and negotiation are actually similar to battlefield battles!

Whichever side has the upper hand will be able to speak and firmly control the right to speak, which is very similar to the battle on the battlefield, which side can win the battle with high morale.

Therefore, Yuan Hui did not choose to tolerate Guan Ping's suppression, but chose to reply politely and politely.

After all, the Jiaozhou Army is already militarily inferior and in an unfavorable situation, if it is still at a disadvantage or passive in negotiations, it is estimated that in the end, I am afraid it will be like a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered!

Yuan Hui was a scholar in Nanzhou in his early years, and often discussed the world with Sima Hui, Pang Degong and other generations, and often argued, and he had already cultivated a good eloquence.

At this moment, facing Guan Ping's suppression, he seemed to be like a fish in water, and he was not afraid at all!

The voice settled.

At this moment, Guan Ping's complexion remained unchanged, but his heart was slightly shocked.

This person is really not to be underestimated!

I didn't expect that there was such a strong hermit hiding under Shi Xie's command, and it seems that it will not be easy to gain an advantage in negotiations this time!

This time, Guan Ping really wanted to give Yuan Hui a dismount directly, and then quickly grasp the right to speak and firmly suppress him.

Merely.

However, he despised the ability of the talents under Shi Xie's command.

Actually, this is not to blame Guan Ping, this is mainly due to the deep influence of later generations.

In later generations, whether it is a history book, a biography of romance, or a film and television drama, Shixie is just an unknown passerby, with almost no sense of existence, and he feels that he is just an ordinary warlord who sits in Jiaozhou!

Such a character, no matter how magnificent the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms are, they are destined to not stir up waves.

It's a pity that due to the influence of later generations, Guan Ping ignored Shixie's own ability.

Let's take one point, if Ruo Shixie really doesn't have any ability, how can he rely on his position as Jiaozhi Taishou to sit in Jiaozhou for decades?

It must be known that since Chibi, Sun Liu has divided the land south of the Yangtze River, and he can sit in Jiaozhou and cruise between the two families without causing hostility between the two sides.

With this act alone, Shi Xie's ability should not be underestimated!

It also proves that this person does have the assistance of capable people under his command.

After all, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and many scholars fled their homeland to Jiaozhou to escape the war.

At least, during Zai Shixie's lifetime, neither Sun Wu nor Shu Han succeeded in gaining access to the military and political power in Jiaozhou.

"What should I do next?"

At this time, Guan Ping began to ponder secretly.

At this moment, he saw Yuan Hui's ability, but he didn't dare to despise it anymore, but instead raised his heart of attention and muttered.

Merely.

At this moment, Yuan Hui had the upper hand in the first confrontation, but he did not intend to give Guan Ping leeway, but struck while the iron was hot, and immediately raised his hand again and said: "Young General, the old man came here this time to discuss with your army. ”

"My lord is worried about the lives of the people in the two places, and I don't want our two families to start a war, so that the people of Li will be displaced and their wives separated!"

Speaking of this, he stared at Guan Ping tightly and said loudly: "Hui Xiang, with the benevolence and love of the people of the king of Hanzhong, he must not want the major general to launch this unjust or unnecessary war, and let the Jiaozhou Li Office fall into war." ”

"Therefore, Hui suggested that the young general think carefully and think about the livelihood of the Han people!"

In just one moment, Yuan Hui looked confident and calm, and muttered.

Suddenly, Guan Ping's complexion became heavier and heavier, and at this moment, the situation suddenly reversed, and he seemed to feel layers of pressure, and a boulder pressed his chest so that he couldn't breathe.

This remark seems to be very ordinary, but in fact, it is a hidden edge!

It can be said that Guan Ping almost couldn't find the slightest words to deal with it.

It must be known that Liu Bei has been operating in the name of benevolence and righteousness all his life, and they have created this great cause, which is to occupy this way of people and the desire of the people.

But now, Yuan Hui has a vicious vision and speaks straightforwardly with benevolence and righteousness.

It is conceivable that if the two sides fail to negotiate this time, Guan Ping will take the initiative to start the war and continue to attack the counties and counties of Jiaozhou, then he will naturally lose the initiative in the war.

Shi Xie only had to publicize the actions of the Han army to the people of Jiaozhou, and did not listen to his own words, insisting on initiating disputes, regardless of the lives of the Li people.

At that time, the people of Najiaozhou must hate the Han army.

Once the situation really develops like this, the military and people of Jiaozhou will definitely resist the offensive of the Han army with all their hearts.

At that time, even if Guan Ping could lead the crowd to forcibly overthrow Shixie's rule in Jiaozhou, the Han army would inevitably lose the support of the people in Jiaozhou and gain an unstable foothold!

If that's all it takes, it's light.

If this matter is spread to all states in the world, I am afraid that Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness throughout his life will be completely ruined, and people everywhere will be disappointed in the Han army!

At that time, how will the Han army, which has lost its people, compete with the powerful Cao army?

At that time, what face did Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, have to put forward the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty?

Who will continue to follow?

It can be said that Yuan Hui's move directly cut off Guan Ping's army and completely cut off its path!
